echinopsis posted:STILL need to put some time into fleshing out the content. why is this part so hard???????? i have struggled with this my entire life except when i was a dumb teenager it's because you're in engineer cool brain mode and not in artist brain mode. because of this I (and I suspect many, many others) lean to more systemy-simmy-generative (aka 'not') game design. i've been trying to get in the mode of level designing but it's hard poo poo man when you want to make universes not implementation details like 'is it any fun at all' or 'this impossible to debug system that i love more than i could love any merely human child is less effective here than a jpeg would be' engineer brain mode is awesome because you know when something works because the computer tells you so. artist brain mode is all self-doubt and squishy, nothing seems good enough, inspiration is never when you need it. so it can be rough switching between the purity of absolute truth and the gross mess of your humanity here's something i think you should try: go out to your local contemporary art gallery. you'll find some stuff that's totally inspirational and amazing, which is great, but for me the better fuel is the poo poo stuff, and there'll be a lot. not 'easy to execute', because that doesn't affect anything, or 'childish', but super clumsy conceptually, that you can see what they were trying to do and missed the mark entirely. stare at that stuff. take a picture. take a selfie. you are there with this trash art, which a dumbass curator thought was good enough for the majestic building you find yourself in. and then you might realise hey, holy poo poo, being creative isn't this far off goal, a mountain of skill and acclaim you have to scale, it's just someone just like you loving around and having fun, just like what you like to do, and telling people something you think is funny or important in a way they can't otherwise do, just like you need to do. the only difference between them and you is they did it, and they put it out there because there is no point in writing a letter and never mailing it. the point of a letter, of art, is to communicate, not demonstrate some mastery over medium. just get someone feel a thing you want them to feel, that's all you have to do, and you can definitely do that, and you can definitely do it better than most. so realise this, internalise this, then, find a way to have fun. game designers need to have more fun than the players playing the game do. go crazy. gently caress anyone who doesn't get it, it's not for them. tell a lie with your artist brain and make it true with your engineer brain. you can do all of this.

hmm nice words though. I really really really can't drop this just because its getting hard. I appreciate the thoughts, there some wisdom amongst that fever dream in some ways it's not actually hard to make myself think about good ideas, it's just when it's time to put pen to paper, that's challenging. ideas can exist half formed in the mind, and the mind is not concerned about them being half formed, it's quite content with the parts you've imagined. but when you put pen to paper you're forced to face that gaps in the ideas exist, and it's that filling the gaps that is challenging. BUT, this game is slowly evolving WHILE I create content, and I am forcing myself to make strictly nothing but content here and there (like, for the next hour just write), and some of it is much worse than others, but I keep playing the game, and the poo poo content pisses me off so I change it when a better idea comes along. and I am managaing to somehow evolve the game a bit. it's becoming almost adventurey. at laest in that crimes have a story about them, and you might need to scare a kid, and he drops a skateboard, and now you can skateboard. but you didn't know that before you scared him. and I think I know how to turn the inventory into buttons so that you can click them and read old school style descriptions of things https://twitter.com/_crimecommitter/status/1542783002715234304

just had a criminally good idea I was worried about the conflict where I want to provide plenty of content but it was going to create a sea of buttons.. neighbourhoods..  presented as tabs. plenty of room for content now well once I do it this is progress: I wanted to make my inventory be so you could click on each item and it show a description. I created a new branch to avoid breaking the website BUT managed to do the whole thing in less than an hour atm also going back to working out the best experience for a new player. ie: very quickly you can start a 20 hour crime, and also an hour crime. and short ones too. defo, and no surprises here, but the challenge is creating a hierarchy of challenges with the right balance of costs and rewards to encourage replay

unfortunately this is about as far as I can get right now I’m going to use the NetBSD mac68k installation tools (and some other stuff, like pdisk on macOS) to shove the full set of files from the MacMach root and usr tarballs into a 4.3BSD-compatible FFS filesystem then I can change the partition type to what MacMach expects (Apple_Free, of all things) and see whether booting from that rather than the combined kernel and RAM disk file on the Mac—just in case the Mac-side combined file is too old or missing something critical I’m also planning to just boot NetBSD for mac68k on MAME to ensure that what I’m hitting isn’t a MAME bug; I need to retrieve my Mac IIx from a friend before I can actually try to boot on real hardware, since it seems to just not work on either an emulated or real Mac IIci

Bought some extremely cheap voip phones. Installed FreePBX. Got a 25w amp board and loudspeaker. Hello up there.  Gonna tie it into the HomeAssistant and sensors. Got a long driveway strangers like to drive down if I leave the chain down, will be nice to have alerts. I plan to write some python to listen to NOAA NWWS-OI weather alerts and announce. I'd like to also be able to use Allstar Asterisk to tie to my 2m ham radio, but this is going to require diving into arcane old ham radio software to setup a trunk. hmm. Dry run on the ground. The "speaker wire" is copper coated aluminum, didn't realize I purchased this garbage. The ferrule for 14awg doesn't fit in these absolute poo poo-rear end terminal blocks, so I had to cut stranded conductors away. Gross.  Wiring closet, looking professional, yes. Got some cheap ebay ET605 phones setup to auto-answer. Going to 3d print enclosure and phone mount to fit on 1u mount to clean it up.  Its extremely loud, already getting complaints from the SO. Its only at 50% volume (amp is 25w, speaker rated to 50w), not sure I see the problem.

How much did it drop? I wouldn't mind reducing my indoor co2 but I suspect it's real hard to get it below the 500ppm-ish ambient level  it sucks that the netatmo outdoor module doesn't track co2 to give a reference

400-1000 ppm is standard for an occupied room, so yeah, you're about as low as you can reasonably get outdoors is 250-400 ppm for comparison

I've been working through the Cryptopals challenges, gotten as far as Set 1 Challenge 7, AES in ECB mode. It's taken a few hours and a bunch of sources - wikipedia, which is correct but incomprehensible for the most part, a guide which is simple but misses out the detail, and a pdf that gives the state matrix after each step but is misleading and also has a couple of typos in the expected state - but I've now got a working AES implementation, for encryption at least. The code is dead simple and most of the concepts and transforms are too, but truly understanding some parts of the math (the mix-columns step, mainly) is a bit more complicated and I certainly don't get it yet. Also I can't find a step-by-step state example for decryption, so I'm just going to have to figure it out myself. I'm assuming its just 'do the inverse of each operation in reverse order', and most operations are easy to inverse, but I've got no idea how to do the inverse of 'mix columns'.

I don't think the point of cryptopals is to do a ground-up implementation of AES but I applaud you for doing so! The inverse of MixColumns is exactly the same but you use a different matrix. This Wikipedia page has it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rijndael_MixColumns

^^^ yeah thats dead useful, I just didn't quite get the maths of the Galois stuff and didn't want to just copy paste a bunch of stuff. all makes sense now though, I think, and decryption works! if you do the cryptopals challenges it's well worth doing AES yourself if you can put an evening or two into it. Only reason it took me so long was that I wasted literally an hour trying to figure out why my expanded keys didn't match the reference output (the reference never mentioned that 'add' means 'xor' and the reference output had a typo!) toiletbrush fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Jul 31, 2022 |

for my actual idiot spare time projects I recently found a core issue with my 3d printer and fixed it- literally years of debugging are better explained by the new diagnosis, and the last 40 hours of printing are the highest quality / fastest / most reliable I've gotten out of the printer. also freecad is so much fun once you learn how to work around its though edges
