Almost every “good celebrity“ story I’ve read has been something like “I know they’re a good person because I saw them again a year later and they remembered my name!”.

I do not appreciate this metric of morality in the slightest.

So far everyone I’ve ever met who said “I’m also terrible at remembering names!” has been lying to me. If you remember my name an hour later, you are not at the same tier as me. That’s stolen valor.

I think digital synthesizers would be so much nicer to use if more of them went for a node-based interface instead of relying on skeuomorphism.

Definitely an upgrade over manually editing the points in the mesh points array.

Screenshot from Zero Mission. It says Clear Time: 7:27:34, Your rate for collecting items is 68%. See you next mission! The background is an illustration of Samus fully suited.

Just beat Metroid: Zero Mission. Got the bad ending, but I don't care. That game was awesome.

Purpur: A little purple spherical character with big eyes, a mohawk of frills, and big gumboots, though apparently no/invisible legs.

Yes, Google app for iPhone. I DID mean to highlight the entire webpage.

Dark Souls has a very "before and after" effect. Since beating it, I play games differently now, I think about games differently now. It's like a video game puberty.

I’m more of a words guy than an icons guy, but I think the two together is probably best.

If Hytale really is like Terraria in 3D then I CANNOT allow myself to play it anytime soon, unfortunately.

I need more music tutorials made by non-musicians.

Jargon + Poetic metaphor + 20 second guitar / piano solo does not equal an explanation to me. I'm sure minds that work like that are very suited to the world of music but I need a translation.

My iPhone 11 is so slow now. Two second wait time after swiping up before my apps appear on the Home Screen.

Why does everything take up so much storage? Google is a search engine. my emails are on a server. What is happening?

Support the development of Godot! Donate Now

Support the development of Godot! Donate Now

This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do.

If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time.

I'm finding it harder and harder to get up to date information on programming forums. I'm guessing many of the people that would have previously gone to forums for help now rely on Ai. As a consequence there's less up to date information available. This worries me.

Same. Been looking forward to Steam making a standalone headset and it's everything I hoped for.

Screenshot from the YouTube Studio site. Community tab which shows comments has filter options, the highlighted one is called "Sort by" with two options: Most relevant(default) and Newest.

I didn't realize YouTube changed the default sorting order for comments! I have missed so many because they weren't "relevant". What the hell does that even mean? Judging by the comments that apparently don't meet the criteria, it means nothing! They were just chosen willy-nilly!

Blender model of small astronaut character. Notably, its head is one big eye. It is a violet coloured suit with bright orange secondary colours on the belt, gloves, sole of the shoe and backpack. The Iris of the eye is green.

A little character I have been working on.

I think I’ll do the same.

YOU CAN'T SCALE MULTIPLE LAYERS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH TRANSFORM TOOLS!

You have to
-Make a layer group
-add your layers to the layer group
-Menu bar -> Layer -> Scale Layer
-MANUALLY TYPE IN RESOLUTION/PERCENTAGE

This program is 27 years old.

Image from GIMP. There is an image bigger than the canvas, but the transform tools are limited to within the canvas, making it a pain to scale the image down to fit.

Image from GIMP. There is an image bigger than the canvas, but the transform tools are limited to within the canvas, making it a pain to scale the image down to fit.

I'd like the transform tools to be out here please. I'm trying to adjust the whole image, not just the part that's on the canvas.

So far it seems the only way around this is to rescale the canvas to fit everything, move the image, then crop the canvas again.

That's ridiculous.

Screenshot of GIMP's keyboard shortcut menu. a long list of nested actions.

They should let you search by performing the shortcut. I don't know what the shortcut I'm doing is called, I just know that something happens when I press Ctrl+D; I want YOU to tell me what.

I'm in a bad mood because I'm learning how to use GIMP.
