Lol someone on my Steam friend list offered a trade. He offered exactly zero items for some of my best and attached the following message:
Quote: "[You will receive an amount of 250$ after you accept the steam offer.You can buy any set by this money.Protected by steam power."

So I sent him back a counter offer with some of his items in it and none of mine (same message attached, but fixed a few grammar mistakes, just 'cause I'm nice). Then I reported and unfriended him


The scams some people come up with thing is, I think this would probably work on a lot of people

My GameStateManager class for my game I'm making with Unity. It's a bit out of hand with the amount of methods, but it was the best way to handle persistent data...



Still, looks kind of a big mess, doesn't it?

Yeah, I think I'm going to split up a good majority of it. I just need to categorize everything first, so that I can easily identify what goes where.

For example, everything related to checkpoints will be self-contained in its own script!

It's a heck of a lot neater than my code. I've really got to redesign my management code. The closest I've gotten so far to a neat design is my global.js script:

So I've been investigating Boolean algebra more in depth (because I have an exam in like 3 days on it) and the following revelation occurred:

NA+AB+\NB

In that expression, AB does nothing. That is, the expression NA+\NB is equivalent. Further, NA\B+\N\AB is also equivalent.

It seems that if two terms complement each other in an expression, they can be effectively ignored when applying standard boolean factorization/expanding.

Anybody think having a general complaints thread in GC being a good idea with someone sorting through it to put tally totals against issues in the first post?

Just think it might be a good idea instead of having complaints dished across the forum and never being found again...

Things that can be complained about...

-Banners
-Avatars
-Threads
-Posts
-Updates to the forum
-Not having any cake
-Lee Bamber not visiting
-Generally anything on the forum...

So yeah Clonkex I had you in mind for this

Of course this is not meant to rule out the current procedures such as emails and PMs... for more disclosure type matters...



EDIT

I had not mentioned the Report button as I dislike using such procedures... but have resorted to it at a time when bunnies were fluffy among other times EDIT Also it is about Abusive posts so not a fix one for all...

We need more votes in the voting thread!

It doesn't take long to vote at all, and it provides greatly valuable input for the contest. This is the last stage of the banner project; let's not let it die! The previous one died of inactivity. I would hate to see all this effort, ~75 banner's worth, go to waste.

Epic, glad that made you laugh! I got a kick out of it myself.

Now, you do have the ability to edit peoples' posts... Image into Mr. Valentine's post... I am not sure if that would be considered abuse of your power. He would surely be fine with it, though.

I see what you did, and that is totally epic. You are totally my favorite now.

Also, it's really fun to read Posting Competition posts and such from a year ago. Nothing in particular about them, just the fact that a year has already gone by since their posting.

This is the second time I've managed to break GCC. Is it my code, or is the compiler unstable?

Does it compile under any other compiler? If not, then its probably your code.

Aw, I missed the diarrhea storm in the bed thread. Looks like someone was offended.

In other news, I'm learning blender. I made a castle!


The new blender interface (2.5 and later) is way more organized and easy to use than 2.49 and previous. I'm actually looking forward to working with this tool now.

Dude you are already doing better than I ever did with Blender! Admittedly your crenelations on either side of the gate don't match up and this would annoy the crap out of me, but other than that it's cool

Quote: "The new blender interface (2.5 and later) is way more organized and easy to use than 2.49 and previous."


It kinda is, but I actually really miss the 2.49b interface. 2.5+ lost some features and never got them back again, which is really annoying, and 2.49b was easier to use than 2.5+. For example, I actually greatly prefer the old "Buttons Window" window to the new "Properties" window. Sure, the new system is actually better in most ways, but it's just plain frustrating that it doesn't remember whether you had the drop-down thingies open or closed when you save your default .blend. At the VERY LEAST, Blender, let me make them all start CLOSED so they're not spewing out random crap everywhere that I don't want to see. For example, in the Scene tab, the 3D-Coat Applink ALWAYS starts open. I don't use 3D-Coat Applink, let alone even know what 3D-Coat Applink is!

Look, now you've made me rant and everything. THAT'S what happens when people on the internet talk.

Damn it, I wasn't even aware of that and now that you've made me aware of it I hate this castle.

I guess the old interface had some benefits, but I found it to be extremely unorganized overall. Things were hidden in places that made no sense and I spent more time fighting with the UI than I spent time with making models.

Of course, it could also be that the tutorials these days are a lot better than the tutorials I used back then. I'm following these lecture videos from a university:
http://gryllus.net/Blender/3D.html

Can highly recommend watching those if you want to learn how to blend.
