JamesTDG (comms temp closed)

Temporarily plugged it in, just for a little auditory demo as to what I woke up to

Got bored, checked the manufacturer's page, turns out that other models have been experiencing some similar problems, which if left ignored for long enough, can cause a house fire evidently. Unfortunately, my model wasn't on the recall list...

So what happened was, I faintly hear some sort of clicking sound from the direction of the mini fridge, and then a split second later, the motor starts grinding like crazy. Thing is super loud, I'm shocked wide awake.

A retro style countertop mini fridge with various stickers added to the exterior.

Things I never thought I'd be woken up to #33: mini fridge in my bedroom making a loud grinding sound.

I highly recommend studying some anatomy, it should help with making that future 2nd attempt look better.
(Also, don't be afraid to check out the Lospec tutorials, they'll help out a lot in learning various other concepts)

This is clearly AI generated. You just have to zoom in and notice the blurry details along the pixels

Looks like a hybrid of the gc and Duke controllers

ALSO! You forgot to mention how "3-dimensional printers" are the legal definition both additive and subtractive equipment in SEVERAL states. C&C mills, 5-axis machining equipment, and more are rather lo-fi with its processors, detection would force expensive CPUs to run on them for detection...

If you've read through firearm history, you should realize how many components inside a firearm are INCREDIBLY simple, and additionally used in other mechanical systems. You could be banned from printing parts from gamepads, RC equipment, and more, because these parts can be used in guns too.

Hey @loyalmoses.bsky.social, IDK if you're checking in on here at all, but I just saw your video on California's BS bill (AB 2047) on blocking 3D printers. I am surprised you didn't cover how the software is likely going to false-positive against so many parts. >>>

Fuck yes, I want this now. The leaves are the hardest thing for me to handle with trees.

Also, does your generator already come with a preset for generating clouds?

Honestly, mewgenics is more of a flash in the pan rather than the norm

Quite a few of these site assets are dubious at best when it comes to authenticity...

Interestingly, I have not found any easily locatable Homebrew for the system in general. Might only be a really small population

No bonus for surpassing the target?

The mixels here are driving me fucking insane

My profile pic on DA. Very crusty because I never archived the image. Honestly don't wanna bother with remaking it, despite my continued disdain towards "Generative AI" (IT AINT AI, ASSHOLES!) Image description: A pixel art image, there is a blue square in the BG with the letters "AI" hastily drawn on it. There is a large red crossed circle on top of that, with text inside the border saying "Pixel Artists Against AI"

A high res "No AI" image, just a simple red crossed-out circle overlaying the letters "AI".

Back before I was establishing myself on Newgrounds, and hell, even Imgur (before I quit that place, FUBD!), I was on DeviantArt. After the company completely went in on image generation "tools" ("Generative AI"), I was of a majority of users miffed, and left as a result.

The following remains:

Can we shrink this further? · Issue #7 · fragglet/squashware So, a small project of mine I've been wanting to do is transmit a copy of DOOM via a QR code. Unfortunately, despite the impressive work to trim the WAD down to less than 700kb, it STILL isn't enou...

The best so far I have found has been the JAB code, however its limit is 250 KB. I had to open up a GitHub issue, just to get something where I can receive just the wad at 209 KiB

github.com/fragglet/squ...

And I should say, it has taught me a lot as to how impressive data storage has increased over time, because it is fucking hell to figure out a way to compress Doom to fit in a massive QR code.

For the record, the only reason I know this information, is because I was trying to previously research color QR techniques in order to find a way to transmit Doom inside a QR code.

You could probably compress more information into a QR code if you take advantage of adding an additional bit of color depth, as well as abusing the right GBC palette! There's already techniques out there for color QR so it should be reasonable to reference

Now if only we could see this be done in reverse with the Gameboy camera in some manner

Can't help but think that the poster could've been either a higher resolution, or at least a low res artist could've come in to touch up the individual pixels to make it easier to read the details

Mini manual for SokoCode, page 13, Logic Instructions. "The robot holds a single STATE value that starts as FALSE and can be set to TRUE. This can be used to change the robot's behaviour. CHK [DIR] - Sets the robot's STATE to true if there is an adjacent box i nteh given direction, otherwise false. CHF [DIR] - Sets the robot's state to true if the robot is facing the given direction, otherwise false. SET [TRUE / FALSE] - Sets the robot's STATE.

Hallways, level A A noodly path the pawn must move along

Hallways Level B. Pathway is shorter vertically, but longer horizontally. The code must work on BOTH level A and level B. Why do I hate this? No wall check = wasted instructions just to move the pawn in with the correct distance on BOTH levels.

Never has a set of documentation driven me to so much insanity than SokoCode... This... game, has no wall checking

Why's this bad? Level 3, Hallways.

FYI, I prefer to use "pawn" to refer to the programmable object, versus the game using "robot".

Blatant ai generated artifacting on the piece

Hmm, yes, pixel art...

"hmm I should work on that pets concept for this fan game"
*Several hours later...*

There are so many sprites on this, that I do not want to even bother with the alt text...

Fascinating. I'll probably try to recreate a few of these for myself

It's been a source of concern on YouTube for some time now since Google doesn't even audit the authenticity of any DMCA claim.

Strange pattern I've noticed among their uploaded artwork, EVERY WIP shows just the head at a fully completed stage, and the unshaded details are already pre-sculpted exactly as the original. At the very least, it's a massive tracing operation.

The boots are what's triggering the alarms for me
