KaBob799: April 4 03:13 am: the only lego I leave out is my lego globe and it's up on a shelf surrounded by stuff to keep the cats away KaBob799: April 4 03:14 am: my dream is to someday have something like a china cabinet but for displaying all my legos, also solves the dust problem KaBob799: April 4 03:15 am: but also if I ever manage to get a house with a spare room we're going to turn it into a no-cats-allowed terrarium/houseplant room KaBob799: April 4 03:20 am: also with a house I would be willing to do shelves on the wall out of the cats reach KaBob799: April 4 03:20 am: it just sucks my legos are mostly stuck being hidden until I can get a house Coronation: April 4 03:22 am: i don't have anything like that in my room, so the display shelf is cool but sometimes the figurines get dusty.. Coronation: April 4 03:23 am: a room dedicated to plants sounds cool - is that also where the isopods would go? Coronation: April 4 03:23 am: a room dedicated to plants sounds cool - is that also where the isopods would go? KaBob799: April 7 02:02 am: Even though he told me couldn't resell it because I couldn't be trusted to not redeem it KaBob799: April 7 02:05 am: I don't go seeking him out but he keeps putting blu ray in the title and doesn't put anything like "no disc" for me to be able to filter it out KaBob799: April 7 02:05 am: So I'll just keep reporting him for violating the rules to get his garbage listings out of my custom search KaBob799: April 7 02:08 am: It's bad enough having to scroll past all the people who list dvds as blu rays KaBob799: April 7 10:27 pm: or even wednesday idk if I feel like doing all those little icons during my lunch break lol KaBob799: April 8 12:15 am: I had some thoughts about evolution and how much of an issue it is with having to design around early and late game mons KaBob799: April 8 12:16 am: what if evolution level wasn't a set number but instead a formula based on what level you caught it KaBob799: April 8 12:16 am: there could be a minimum and maximum level for each mon of course but then it would try to give you a reasonable amount of levels with the mon before it evolves KaBob799: April 8 03:11 pm: They could have a "it might evolve soon" type message like how pokemon does eggs KaBob799: April 8 03:12 pm: and then after you've evolved at once the pycopedia would be "calibrated" and could just tell you the level KaBob799: April 8 03:19 pm: this also solves the whole underleveled evolution problem with trainer teams KaBob799: April 8 03:20 pm: I think how I'd do it is each encounter table would define the evolution level for the pycomon that appear in it KaBob799: April 8 03:21 pm: because I'm going to be putting effort into making single stage and pre-evolution mons more useful for the entire playthrough that should also help Coronation: April 8 05:50 pm: sounds like a smart way to go about it, that's more or less how you'd want the game to progress anyway Coronation: April 8 05:55 pm: i had my own idea on an alternate way to do evolutions without set levels but it's admittedly too convoluted as-is everydayghost: April 8 09:25 pm: that's a cool idea. you'd need to make sure the evos had very full movelists though since you don't have a set level that player can get them at KaBob799: April 8 09:28 pm: Yeah each evo just starts as a copy paste of the pre evo and then gets edited KaBob799: April 9 02:16 am: thanks to me having to unload everything from my parents house i now have 4 desktops and 4 laptops in my office KaBob799: April 9 02:18 am: my 2008 era desktop is actually kind of useful because it has windows xp and vista and isn't as messed up as my vista laptop is KaBob799: April 12 07:40 pm: I got one of those "520 retro games" collections of vine but this one is a DS cartridge which is interesting but I didn't know it has a microsd card slot KaBob799: April 12 07:41 pm: I went from mildly interested to extremely excited as soon as I opened it lol KaBob799: April 12 07:56 pm: most of the 520 games are garbage though, but I can get roms for all the games I own legit copies of and put them on there for convenience Coronation: April 13 05:16 am: sounds like a DS version of action 52 or something, tho cool if you can add games to the slots it has KaBob799: April 15 01:04 pm: yeah I just need to gather the roms, I hadn't been collecting DS backups yet because emulating the DS on a computer doesn't interest me KaBob799: April 15 01:05 pm: but it was aways my intention to get a bvackup for every cartridge I own eventually KaBob799: April 16 12:56 pm: thankfully i had gathered a few up 10 months ago so I don't have to find all 68 everydayghost: April 16 07:38 pm: most of my enjoyment is derived from knowing that every time i kill a player, it's probably a screaming child on the other end KaBob799: April 17 02:58 am: got all my ds games copied over, sadly while it will list GBA games they don't boot KaBob799: April 17 02:59 am: so I am trying out some emulators that run on the DS to see if they work KaBob799: April 17 03:25 am: got gb/gba, snes and colecovision working. The NES emulator didn't work and I didn't have any genesis roms ready to test that one KaBob799: April 17 03:27 am: tomorrow I'll probably load my entire collection for those consoles so my 3DS can be my ultimate gaming system lol KaBob799: April 17 03:31 am: I guess while I'm doing all this I should also test out my tablets DS emulation capabilities KaBob799: April 17 01:02 pm: it can do it but it has to give 100% of its power to it or the framerate drops KaBob799: April 20 12:01 am: I'm having to get real creative to fit all this stuff in my apartment lol KaBob799: April 20 12:02 am: Grabbed a few bits of furniture off vine to try to get the whole situation under control KaBob799: April 20 01:21 am: the biggest obstacle is keeping all the cats favorite places intact lol Coronation: April 23 04:18 am: i ordered this figurine like 18 months ago, kinda fell out of favor compared to when i ordered it tho not enough to cancel it apparantly KaBob799: April 24 03:00 am: that's probably going to happen to me with a bulborb figure i ordered that wont arrive until this summer lol KaBob799: April 24 03:00 am: I've decided to finally upgrade to 32gb of ram, I always intended to but never got around to it KaBob799: April 24 03:05 am: I'm also very tempted to finally get an m.2 ssd for this computer, my wife has one but I'm still running windows on a sata ssd which is slower and also too small to install both windows and multiple games KaBob799: April 24 03:20 am: I think ultimately it would be more of a convenience upgrade than a performance upgrade KaBob799: April 24 03:21 am: but there's a chance it would make a difference in modern aaa games like oblivion, starfield and indiana jones KaBob799: April 24 10:59 pm: getting the new ssd in the computer will be difficult but I'm not sure if putting the new ram in will even be possible without removing the cpu cooler KaBob799: April 24 11:01 pm: but then again the computer is almost 5 years old and for best performance you should redo the thermal paste every 5-7 years, though I've never done that with any of my other computers KaBob799: April 24 11:04 pm: but I guess now that I think about it, maybe thats why old laptops suck so much lol KaBob799: April 25 10:59 pm: something that I could actually work on with my tablet without running into performance issues KaBob799: April 26 01:31 pm: I thought my last idea would be fine for the tablet but it was too much lol KaBob799: April 27 05:04 pm: I finally found my usb hard drive adapter and it works fine on it even though it never wanted to work when inside the computer KaBob799: April 27 05:07 pm: this could be very good, I could theoretically move my old desktops windows installation onto it so that I'm not running on a 15 year old hard drive KaBob799: April 28 07:13 pm: This game idea is progressing well, it went from just an idea about a gimmick to a full game idea with a name everydayghost: April 28 10:28 pm: was hoping i could convince the progressive ai chatbot to give me a policy discount, but no dice KaBob799: April 28 10:30 pm: well the ram is here, time to see if it is at all possible to do this without removing the cpu cooler KaBob799: April 28 11:40 pm: it appears to have been worth it, Oblivion was running pretty smooth in my tests KaBob799: April 28 11:44 pm: plus I'm sure a lot of other things will benefit from having more ram, like when I have 50 chrome tabs open lol Coronation: May 2 03:03 am: feel like i've been working too hard lately, should maybe set aside some vacation time just to hang out or something KaBob799: May 3 01:48 pm: they're trying to cut back on our hours at work right now which is annoying me lol KaBob799: May 3 01:48 pm: but if I can't make it up I'll use the time on that new game idea I had last week KaBob799: May 3 01:52 pm: maybe I should treat programming like a job, force myself to do it for an 8 hour shift lol KaBob799: May 7 12:28 am: I'm debating whether or not I should just buy the domain for that game so I can talk about it KaBob799: May 7 04:02 pm: I've been digitizing all the old stories I wrote back in 2004-2008 and I realized something KaBob799: May 7 04:03 pm: My story was split into 5 "phases" and each phase had a set of main characters that would get their own books with interweaving storylines KaBob799: May 7 04:04 pm: it's kinda crazy to think I was working on that kind of idea 4 years before the MCU started lol KaBob799: May 7 04:11 pm: I'm always a bit tempted to get back into writing but I always lose motivation so fast KaBob799: May 9 03:23 pm: I finally got a chance to ask maintenance and my apartment is supposed to have more than 1 ceiling light in the living room lol Chatting: Log in to view the chatting list.
