Yes I’m being a jerk. Dude is a complete addict and needs HELP

I went back and played The Dungeon about 15 years ago and I just about cried because it was so fucking bad by modern standards lol

I guess if you find it funny it might help you ease feelings

All that conjures in my mind though is a mouse furiously hammering on a lever trying to get a pellet

It’s also the 1st round top left question

I felt extremely sad reading this. I understand what your perspective is, but what I’m hearing is an addict freaking out.

Doubtful

I’m not talking out my ass, a good buddy of mine worked for frantic films for decades and I myself learned 3D alongside him… We would squabble over the rendering farm too…

Anyways most of the renderers made for those early movies were custom built. And anytime you custom build, you can’t generalize to output to a different system. So it’s a long way of saying no but maybe, if you wrote a custom renderer that was specifically designed to handle the architecture of the scenes and the art and the lighting and blah blah blah

Edit oh and you would probably need the Lord of all graphics cards, possibly multiple in a small array with custom therading software

The ones that do it for family and friends get away with it, the ones that get peppy and decide to start flogging groceries, etc on Fb Marketplace get watched. It’s really not something you want to try to profit from!!

Last year, it’s shit you’re not going to change my mind

I really don’t think I’m overstating things, I go back to the early 90s, I started with Harvard graphics and stuff like that… I have used so many damn image editing softwares, and I’ve even made a few of my own.

I’m honestly going to just plant my foot and say gimp is a misbegotten atrocious lump of shit from a UI perspective - a complete embarrassment, and a complete failure from any perspective of usability science

It is absolutely at the bottom of the pack of any piece of software I have ever used, it’s hard to pick up various bunches of shit and decide what lump smells the worst, so I’m not going to say gimp is the worst, but it’s floating at the bottom of the septic tank

I cannot believe that people continue to step up and defend it, it’s garbage.

Gimp is what happens when programmers think that they can design things

Omfg…

Yesssssss. Our entire family loved The Dungeon so much. My father wrote a letter to the developers and got a response, with excited descriptions of upcoming games in the series that never came to be. The producer or developer, or whoever wrote him back was bragging about how the next game would have characters you could actually see while in combat! (E: referring to The Arena)

IMO WinRAR was only ever did one useful thing and that was breaking up files into arbitrary sizes for USENET theft

Yeah gimp is atrocious in terms of UI/UX

Nobody with a clue about graphics would ever recommend gimp

It has always been a piece of sh… going back 20 years already

2 to 17 inclusive or exclusive?

I’m just here to tell you that anybody that says to talk to a lawyer is a jackass and is talking out their ass.

You do not deal with these matters in regular civil court, these are handled directly through whatever tenany board is in your region. Start by contacting them and ignore all the other nonsense about contacting attorneys, it’s a waste of time because all the attorney will tell you to do is to contact the tenancy board.

Speaking of getting burned at the stake, Iron Maiden stole their sound from Anvil. The truth hurts people’s feelings

I don’t understand the downvotes, most journalism is basically saying “I read something on Twitter, here is paraphrasing exactly what it says with no analysis or synthesis. Also I will not do anything to verify the accuracy or relevancy of this, please click links and enjoy our advertisements”

I completely agree

And I’m hypocritical, because I have traveled extensively

Most people, and that includes myself, won’t even enjoy what is available in their own region

How does it make sense to go on a trip to Banff to go skiing, when there’s a slightly smaller mountain 45 minutes away that you just won’t bother going to? There’s 7000 museums in every city; There is natural beauty all around… go!

Go these places first, and once you’ve exhausted what is available next door, then expand horizons

Excellent comment

I think one of the biggest problems people have is that they assume there is some level of skill present in food service providers and restaurants - There really isn’t.

Obviously many are skilled, but in a general sense, people don’t know what they’re doing with food and they just throw ingredients in a heap and heat it up.

The internet is filled with fake culinary people wearing blackly latex gloves, they have pig butchery tattoos, and they think a brioche bun is how you serve a hamburger. Like no.
