Re: Dear ZScripters, how good were you at maths?

I ended up balking at learning Calculus in any detail, but I breezed through math up until that point- not even trig gave me any real issues. These days the most math I use is spatial reasoning. (Please stop front loading groceries, you're going to hit my hands and crush your delicate groceries ...

Re: What games do you play other than Doom?

My nose has been stuck very heavily in VRChat, and by extension Unity so that I can make content for the platform. I'm hoping to make some progress on my own avatar soon with everything I've learned about working on avatars and worlds.

DID, OSDD, and how that affects moderation

One thing that stopped me from returning about three years ago was a question I had about my realization about being plural. I realize not everyone likes the use of medical labels like DID and OSDD without official diagnosis, but for what it's worth I tend to fall under the latter category, no ...

Re: New Member Introductions

Not really new, but I've been gone for so long at this point I might as well be. Dunno if it's me feeling nostalgic or if I'll start slipping back into modding, but I'm back in the shadows once again.

Re: John Romero or Gabe Newell?

Gabe hands down. This would be a lot harder if we were talking about Gabe New Newell and John Carmack, who I think are more comparable in terms of accomplishments, but Romero has gone on to make a name for himself in a completely different way, more like a Guts and Griffith comparison.

Re: So little means so much

The "derailment" as is being referenced was a situation where a REAL LIFE PERSON needed rent money to escape an abusive husband who had taken her kids and home from under her, and a sim owner who had the option to actually tell the community they were trying to ask donations for, and instead chose ...

Re: Someone FINALLY put an analog stick...

Thanks to the almost bog standard practice of including a rebinding driver management software, I can all but guarantee you those extra sticks can be just bound to buttons and used that way. They include one of those according to the campaign trailer.

Re: Linux is not actually newbie-friendly

That approach would work in Windows if Windows came with a compiler of some sort!

Someone FINALLY put an analog stick...

where the mouse thumb resides.

Not sure why they needed a SECOND joystick where you tilt the whole damn mouse, but as long as that thumb stick is usable, I'll be mega happy with it.

Re: The mystery of unavailable graphics cards

...currency only works if you have faith in it, (or is paper / plastic somehow worth a lot just because it has ink on it?) The American dollar was originally backed by the US treasury's back stock of gold bars. This stopped being the case at some point but at one point, the American dollar meant ...

Re: The mystery of unavailable graphics cards

You can't falsify it because it's cryptographically secure. That IS a value because it demonstrates a proof of concept. Edit: I am saying the technology Bitcoin itself uses is valuable. I'm not saying Bitcoin is valuable economically (the relation between actual economics and the blockchain record ...

Re: The mystery of unavailable graphics cards

So many people here keep saying bitcoin isn't anything at all.... if that's the case, go and invalidate everyone's Bitcoin! Bitcoin IS something- a running hash. The more you helped out finding it, the more you earned "from nothing" (you know, except that pesky electrical current needed to perform ...

Re: Your arcade stories? (Old & new)

I've only seen someone build one of those fancy pinball emulator machines. Dude put some monitors in a pinball like table and loaded up Pinball FX2 and streamed it to the table so it looks like a real pinball machine. Not a bad idea honestly...
