I can’t see your reply on my instance, @tal (currently 1 day ago, still not federated) so not sure if you will see this (or if you do, if I’ll see your 2nd reply…). EDIT: I forgot the first @ when I first posted, so I don’t know if it actually worked as a mention

One was kicked off by someone generating polygonal-style art

It’s visually striking (if you don’t look too closely), the 1st bonus image is best but I’d still go with a more minimal style. That and aside from hallucination, I would prefer live-rendered polygons. Infinite scalability is the point.

Here’s something I made a while ago, animated eye (note: on my end, Imgur links don’t work unless viewed in private mode for whatever reason) though a full game with that style is not currently viable for me for multiple reasons (the feature is 4.X only and still an unmerged PR that may not perform well enough for common use, no Nim-lang bindings yet in 4.X).

Carrier Command 2?

I was confused at first, that style of 3D polygonal isn’t really uncommon. I don’t really buy things (esp not $30 level) and I need a hobby so that’s a part of it too*. For 3D art I’ve done, one of my threads is federated to your instance. Here’s the stuff that didn’t (these have no textures, only vertex colors):

banana

office plant

Note the 1st and last show a white background in a new tab but the background is transparent (and show as such on Kbin).

*= I mean I have seen some games that have a nice aesthetic, even better if they’re more “real” with it (though that is what’s hard to find)

I mean… Teresa certainly wouldn’t involve a condom even if aware of having an STD…

The problem is that they overlap, usually all 3 interlocked. The threads/microblogs I’ve tried barely get responses (again, federation may be an issue), let alone even answers for even something like Blender. I can use Nim w/o art but I don’t have the ideas for it usually (or if I do other issues happen, including just lacking the desire to write for something like a game book).

I’ve mostly waited for something to improve, but a while ago I started my own simple polygon loader/format and I worked a bit more on that today. I think I made one of my own questions irrelevant (assuming my condition to detect strip vs. fan is correct) and added a couple of other improvements. I don’t think it’s at a point I’d share it, but I probably could (should) try to make a simple game with it soon.

Though I’d rather have 3D in Raylib (vertex colors not working with Nim bindings, Naylib) or more advanced 2D in Godot 4 (no Nim-lang bindings, and said feature is an unmerged PR that may not be performant enough for full game art).

My niche interests.

• Nim-lang (this has some activity here, though I often have federation issues)
• Raylib
• low-poly+untextured polygonal art and vertex colors (both 2D and 3D)

I don’t really consider myself an artist or a programmer (I haven’t done much), maybe there’s a fediverse instance that could work for me but it’s probably too niche even just with those communities.

I want to use Raylib, but mentioning it here on the fediverse doesn’t get much of a response (I can’t see a raylib community from my instance). My choice of language probably doesn’t help, though.

My first issue is wanting vertex colors on 3D models and I am not getting this (this may be a problem with the bindings I’m using, naylib(nim-lang)). The second would be needing guidance for the 2D polygon text loader that I started.

Maybe I could make simple GUI applications with raygui, but I don’t currently really have many viable ideas on what I would want to make.

To OP: Another potential option is using Godot w/bindings. Design is pretty fast and flexible, then using signals is super easy.

I’ve tested some frameworks (specific to my language, so not really helpful to most), the one that I liked more said it was declarative user interface framework based on GTK though I would prefer a similar thing for Qt and there wasn’t an ability to automatically scale text size to better fill the available button size (I was testing an adventure-book reader and hoping to use unicode characters).

Frameworks for single page applications (or some other browser-based tech) might be ok for simple stuff. Similarly, I’ve liked the idea of TUI frameworks (yeah, because htop) but haven’t really tried that yet.

If potential is key, I say keep the context of the MAID process but instead of outright death make it cryonics. Plus other potential relevant volunteer stuff and organ donation stuff lined up. Even if the initial cryonics technique is not even close to viable, other stuff could be transformative. If cryonics has any chance to work, things will get appreciably better in 300-or-so years right?

Hopeful worst is my brain in a jar mostly playing VR and sometimes knitting yarn via robotic arms. Lots of ways it could be better. Also unlike traditional cyborg stuff with all-machine life-support, I would like to still have a complex microbiome if not taking it further with symbiosis.

My napkin guess is that this is some sort of specific process/tactic, either it only allows 1 2 levels of reclassification at a time or that was all that could be agreed on (with multiple agencies, likely the DEA limiting the pace). So either avoiding the Senate or the tiniest of steps that pretty much anybody will allow/defend. Slow-and-steady could be the plan, assuming Biden wins again and actually follows up.

Well that and it probably really helps with the turning-a-blind-eye, like the difference between ignoring/acquitting a hit-and-run fender-bender versus ignoring/acquitting the act of treating a no-traffic intersection (in clear conditions) like a 4-way stop. Maybe it will be enough to reduce hostility and move the relevant overton window over time while avoiding pushback.

EDIT: Looking at it more, this seems to be the department of HHS pressuring the DEA on clear medical use. As others say, the lower restriction might help further medical study which could in-turn result in further reclassification.

My thought as well, the video Tom Scott did on the mountain town that has bespoke electric vehicles (and strict usage on them for needed business) comes to mind (R2oD1ZHNMFE). I don’t know how much is law and how much is companies not caring to cater to that market (even with designs that they sell in Europe), but Kei-like vehicles can still be affordable without being fully unsafe (but the issue of safety is more about the market making larger-and-larger trucks and SUVs, and lack of viable car alternatives paired with high speed limits).

Higher cost really is not a fix. Other concerns like privacy seem like policy could mesh well with low-end (no internet connection, just-a-radio, common off-the-shelf parts, standards+no DRM etc). It would be nice for the option to exist in this space that US car companies are not trying to fill anyway.

Vertex banan.

I think a better example probably would just be the night sky (at least in places with non-optimal conditions). Where I’m at there is very little color even when it’s clear enough to see galactic features (interstellar cloud/nebulae, clusters of dimmer stars etc).

Couldn’t hard water be described an issue of natural minerals being “not water soluble”? It’s still going to be floating in the water, and I assume that hard water is a problem of excess and thus could be managed better. Maybe even the nano form, assuming that passes the safety checks (and guidelines for safe/effective concentrations can be established).

My aesthetic.

Also, the title makes me think of the Catalyst Comet from Adventure Time. “Hey, how 'bout I get a new mode*?” “Prepare to discorporate.”

(though personally I don’t believe in stuff like that so my hope would be to get my brain uninstalled and reinstalled into a new form with symbiotic systems. If anything.)

I’ve heard fluoride builds up in your bones so it’s one of those negative health effects that’s hard to study

I mentioned it in a top-level comment, but there is hydroxyapatite that would likely be a better water additive (and increases effectiveness of fluoride toothpaste) and would probably also be good for bone health rather than a potential long-term risk.

I am once again saying: Why not hydroxyapitite? A form of calcium, same as our teeth/bones. It even has water management uses because it adsorbs other stuff like fluoride and lead, which actually makes finding info about its addition to water for the purpose of teeth health difficult.

Though it seems like hydroxyapatite water would also make fluoride toothpaste even more effective.

The mineral ions introduced during remineralisation restore the structure of the hydroxyapatite crystals. If fluoride ions are present during the remineralisation, through water fluoridation or the use of fluoride-containing toothpaste, the stronger and more acid-resistant fluorapatite crystals are formed instead of the hydroxyapatite crystals.

You want to get eaten as a sex thing.
I want to be euthanized by a woman in the woods, and I like the idea of her pet bear getting my brain as a treat.

We are not the same.

Nah, I want the woman to dissect me and feed my brain to the bear. It’s called sharing 🥰

There are 186 days until the election. There is no possibility that a better candidate enters now and defeats both Biden and Trump, if the 3rd candidate could even win a single state. And a headline of another thread: Exclusive: Bernie Sanders worries young people are underestimating the threat from Trump I think Bernie knows this and would not even run that campaign. There are too many layers of absurdity to this.

Bernie is great… but that’s not how FPtP voting works, and I don’t think Bernie would even consider running unless Biden dropped out and endorsed him.

Bernie didn’t even run in the primary, probably because it doesn’t make sense to run against an incumbent.
