Chat Official Chat Thread - The Third

Probably not worth sending a whole PM over but I did read over the rules and one thing I would like to see is some more thorough definitions of some of the terms used. For instance, one of the offenses is just listed as "trolling" - personally I feel this is too vague and up for interpretation to enforce well.

Perhaps something a bit more clear cut like "Trolling: posting deliberately inflammatory remarks or being generally argumentative and hostile with the intent of causing unrest". Firstly, it makes things a little more transparent, and secondly it's helpful to people who are unfamiliar with the terms undersand exactly what is meant.

This would be especially prudent with things like "Ad Hominem attacks"

 

Oh, new emotes! What exactly is a nuru?

Thank you so much for forgiving my mistakes!

 

nuru is one of starbound's story characters c:
she is in the floran mission in starbound now

 

Theres been a virus circulating around for routers called Linux.Wifatch thats considered a botnet, but not really.

What it does is it gets to your router, and then it actually scans your devices and deletes malware, and then kills a legitimate telnet daemon, so when you connect to the infected router, it will push a firmware update, which will also ask you to change your password. the botnet part of it is actually just a protocol to push updates from a server to your router. the virus automatically deletes itself after you reset your router.

Its nice to know that there are some viruses that actually help your security instead of compromise it.

I HATE HIGH SCHOOL!
It's like friggin middle school but with harder classes. Most of these kids keep acting so dumb. They talk so loud when the teacher is talking, they give a mean tone and say rude things to the teacher, they do all kinds of stupid stuff, and when there's so much of them - no when there's only one person doing it, the teacher just gets all pissy and just starts becoming an inconvenience to the whole class. We have to wait for like 10s to 1min after the dismissal bell rings, because kids won't shut up during the afternoon announcements. We can't even play our music while doing assignments because kids seem to have a fetish for deafening themselves as well as the rest of class. Really every class in the school would have so much freedom if kids stopped acting like 4 year olds and giving a reason why teachers should be strict and just give every student little privelages.

I don't get it. Why don't teachers kick that dumb kid out of the class? It's not like it's hard to find the bad apple. That kid is clearly talking junk at you and the other students and throwing stuff everywhere. I don't even understand why the heck they even act so immature. Do they even have parents? Am I just one of the few people who have OK parents that make sure that I behave like a decent human being? Or do they just not know that the kid is acting this way cause the school doesn't even notify it to them? Goodness I'd rather be home schooled, or at least have all my classes online so I don't have to deal with this idiocy.

Also one of my classes is Game Art Design. Yeah, more like GAME HISTORY! We're 3 units in and we are still talking about old games and how to make/modify them. Why are we even focusing so much on the principles and history of games? I know that it's good to know some principles, but this is Game ART DESIGN. Why don't we learn spriting, 3D models, perspective, shading, elements and principles of art, and other stuff that relates to making the actual ART of the game? I'm just sticking to this class cause it's easy credits, but this is just so dumb. At least in my engineering classes we actually did stuff related to engineering. We made 3D models and actually had a 3D printer make our stuff, we did soldering, we built things, we did a lot of math to solve problems, we actually built up skills that would help us in our field.

HIGH SCHOOL IS DUMB

Oh, what? Look at this! Compare these: The one that faces left is just mirrored! The flower in her hair moves to the wrong side of her head when she faces left. Urgh, I hope this won't happen in the final game. Asymmetry needs to be respected.

...I often cry about not ever getting to go to high school. I've been bedridden and essentially alone with depression for over a year. My social skills are garbage, and I have nobody outside of my family to spend time with...

EDIT: Wait, which side of her head is the flower even supposed to be on? I can't tell because one of them is mirrored.

 

you should be in my robotics class
in a class of 20 people, theres only about half of the people who pay attention in the class, the rest either are singing the entire class (including when the teacher is giving instructions on what to do if theres an injury or if a robot malfunctions), or on pornhub playing sex noises at max volume, and the teacher does absolutely nothing about it except wait for them to quiet down. It absolutely irks me because this is actually a field I am super interested in, along with utility/game programming, and some fucking idiots who were transferred into the class because too many people signed up to study hall are blocking me from actually doing what I want to do.

edit:
also, Witcher 3's Hearts of Stone theme song

Witcher 3's expansions look so good, one is about killing an immortal bandit, the next adds an entire new region and story.

 

If you mouse over the one on the right in the emote bar, it says 'Nuru Nega' (i.e. evil version, hence the mirroring and the blue colour)
So I guess it's on her left in most cases.

 

Hopefully. However looking at this, it seems the sprites are indeed flipped in-game.

 

It's so cool that you have Game Art Design as an option. When I was in high school, my school didn't really acknowledge making games as a legitimate career choice. I remember doing a presentation when I was 12 about wanting to work in games and people just kinda laughed. Even the teacher laughed. It was a little embarrassing, haha.

Keep in mind that if you DO want to make game art, you can just do it. You don't need to wait around for your teacher to teach you about spriting, 'cause there are loads and loads of resources freely available on the internets now.

I really hated high school at the time, too, but looking back on it now I regret not making more of my time there. It'll be over before you know it, so try to make the best of the resources you have there!

Aaaaaaand now I feel old.

 

Yep -- I made them to go with some of the new forum changes. My favorite is Nuru-Dallas (Multipass)

This is correct. Nuru Nega is the "Evil" version of Nuru. She's inspired by Nega-Scott from Scott Pilgrim and other "Evil Twin" tropes.

 

Guyz halp
my PC died; no error message or anything, just suddenly off. Now it won't start! Do you think i overheated it?

 

That seems likely. Just give it a while to cool down and it should start back up again.

 

Just got back

I think I did better. Can't know for sure, though.

Fuck the essay forever. 25 minutes ain't enough for me. I need more time for that shit. People who aren't graduating in 2016 are so lucky, since they'll be able to do the SAT without an essay.

 

Whoa, someone tweaked the rare monster spawn rate and now Molly is showing up so often!

 

The entire American school system sucks.

 

Oh, I see that I found the third chat thread... On the 69th page again... This is becoming a pattern! xD
