In this case it should probably classify as “offense spending” rather than defense.

Aren’t all sprites prerendered? What is the alternative, hand drawn ones? That would go waaay back…

I am not sure prerendered describes ja2 and fallout (some of the best games tbh). Aren’t those just sprites?

The rest I have not played.

Yeah. I prefer the schoolgirl used panties or ass juice ones myself.

You’d have died either way most likely. Git gud.

Why not Alt+F2?

How so?

I am interested in your json porn.

Kids for me. On my third one. It is hard at times and you sacrifice a lot of your time, and energy (money is less of an issue up to the second one I’d say, the real costs starts at three where you need to upgrade cars and shit) in order to be a good parent. But watching them grow up and be brilliant boys, is very rewarding. I am happy that I am providing them a good life so far, they are smart and devour knowledge, and they take on my interests kinda naturally so it’s fun teaching them things I enjoy.

In a few years we will be nerding out on Dota or PoE or whatever, anime, maybe I will DM an rpg for them and their cousins that live nearby. Start them up with python or so. Teach them Japanese, maybe have them start tennis or so. Or maybe they will nerd out with something on their own. Well see…

Tomorrow I’ll grab the boys and go to the countryside for hiking up the mountains, playing in the forest, eating awesome food in taverns and so on. Will be tiring, but will be fun.

So yeah. Kids are fun and they give me a purpose to strive for. Peace and quiet while being alone was definitely something, but after experiencing both, for me it is purposeless, unfulfilling, and gets pretty boring pretty quick.

That’s what I hate the most.

With booze and mushrooms and so.

No. It means how high is the sun.

On second thought, maybe it’s the way I work with layers as well. I tend to keep duplicates of the base image as layers to work with effects and mask them so that I have flexibility with applying them and editing them as needed. Perhaps the benefit of non-desteuctive editing is the same thing as I end up with, but more automated…?

I tried to read up on it, i understand it in theory, but in practical terms I don’t get what’s the difference to just working with layers…

I guess I might have to play around a bit with it to get it? I dunno…

It is destructive in what sense? I’ve been using gimp to do various edits non professionally for many years and I am feeling comfortable with many advanced things, but now I am curious about maybe trying Krita or something.

I thought using layers and so on in gimp was also considered non destructive… Maybe I am missing out on something.

I have also used photoshop in like 20 years ago, can’t remember much.

Happy to be corrected, but as I have understood it in the past, all of them.

Yes.

Go to a museaum, copy an old Greek or roman gold coin in your pocket. Go home, copy many more gold coins. Go to a shipwreck or ruin, dig a bit, produce the coins and voila!

I hope you can get to keep them thought instead of archeological offices. Maybe checkout country policies first.

Well Kate is very useful for that.

You must say “BTW” at the end of the sentence. Please read the manual.
