Can you give me some idea as to what this does for you? I'm comparing old and new side by side, and the most I can work up is a 'meh'. I actually find the new tree-type specific textures a bit cheesy looking. Not sure if I explained what I wanted very well: https://i.imgur.com/yRosZNm.jpg I find it...

Aesthetically, backporting the log ends would make me very happy (ie, birch and spruce logs look like they have birch and spruce wood inside them, rather than oak). You've before mentioned wanting more uses for spider drops; have you considered making spider eyes a component in Redstone eyes? If the...

So, I was initially put off on the first big wait (plastic to electronics), but after revisiting the game a week later, I've accepted 2-3+ days waits as part of it. Now saving up gun money to invest in a big research push towards engines, I find the biggest problem limiting component density, isn't ...

I went with 4 4x4 platforms arranged in a 2x2 pattern, surrounded by vine traps, with two blocks worth of padding between the solid blocks of the platform. This has the bonus of requiring exactly 64 blocks for the platforms, and 64 + 16 vine traps, which makes for an easy 4 stacks of blocks and 5 st...

So no one stopped to consider that maybe the fun was in alternatingly figuring these out with many people? :p You guys basically ended the thread. The idea was to do one at a time :/ In my defense, I did point out that I was breaking things with the hyperbolic functions. I think most of the puzzle ...

Funnily enough, I've never seen ceiling in a textbook, but, yes, if we've got the full math.h in here, we can probably do better than just int/floor.

Actually, iterated hyperbolic functions start breaking things. They grow slowly at first, but close enough to an additive ramp that you can get 1 int(cosh(cosh(1))) = 2 int(sinh(sinh(sinh(sinh(1))))) = 3 int(cosh(cosh(cosh(1)))) = 5 You can get all the numbers between 1 and 10 using two 1's each thi...

int((1 . log(1)) ^ sqrt(1 + 1)) = 25 If we're allowed to use recursive and nested functions (and bitshifting)... (1 . A(1, 1)) << 1 = 26 ...where A is the Ackermann-Peter function . There's a table partway down, if you don't want to write it out. int(cosh(1 + 1 + 1 + 1)) = 27 A(A(1, 1), int(cosh(cos...

If we're allowed to use functions: int(sqrt(1 + 1) * (1 . sin(1))) = 14 I'm not sure 1 . 0.5 = 15 or 105, but you can use a similar trick for 15: int(sqrt(1 + 1) * (1 . 1)) = 15 and, for 17 and 18 (assuming tanh and sin is taking radians) 1 . int((1 . log(1)) * tanh(1)) = 17 1 . int((1 . log(1)) * s...

Log(1) is zero, as 10 ^ 0 = 1

And, we skipped 9, but it's easy to catch up to where we were supposed to be.

1 . (1-1) - 1 = 9
1 . (1-1) * 1 = 10
1 . 1 * 1 * 1 = 11
1 . (1 + 1) * 1 = 12
1 . (1 + 1 + 1) = 13

Maybe the book is this way too, I haven't read it, but I was utterly disappointed and couldn't enjoy the movie at all. The book is that way, and it's deliberate. See this interview "There are a bunch of severe psychological effects that would happen to someone being isolated for almost two yea...

I picked it up. I think it's a beautiful little story. It's not without faults. If you're reading this and haven't played it, you should probably play it first. I'd say the story is fiction. Coda isn't a real person. Danny might be talking about his own inner thoughts, but if there's any ties to rea...

I found some in the bottom strata; luckily I was fighting downhill. Those slimes were vicious.

So far, I haven't found it very impactful. Until the latest hotfix, it made it far harder to recruit prisoners (the combination of low joy + cabin fever made them very unhappy; I had six prisoners at one point.), but even then, I still recruited most of them, especially with the free colonists you g...

All this while I was thinking about doing the same thing. Right now the game seems to suffer from a lack of change in technology. With Cassandra, everything scales up, but I don't find myself doing things particularly differently as the game goes on. Sentry Guns are a symptom of this: they're a mid-...

GoG.com is having a big winter bundle sale. I picked up all of the Impressions Games city builders on the cheap, but there's a bunch of other stuff.

Even iOS supports custom keyboards, but Windows Phone doesn't. My next phone is going to be an iPhone, but if that wasn't an option, I'd stick with Android for a few more versions; the Nexus line has done me and my family quite well, and I'd probably upgrade to the Nexus 6 from my Nexus 4 sometime n...

Bonus BS theory!!!! this is really obscure and I hold no hopes of this one being true: What if it is musical notes? where the "b" represents a "flat" rather than "bugfixing versions" so, C, C(flat), D, E, E(flat), F, F(flat) It actually sounds kinda like Hindemith if y...

I remember playing a lot of Morrowind when I was a kid (mostly using the soultrap-on-target spell glitch), but I've played a lot of Oblivion and Fallout 3/NV in more recent years, so I don't remember the way the RPG mechanics work very well. However, I do remember an excellent character guide for a ...

Yeah, I suspect if MS were interested in card games, they'd be aiming to buy the rights to MtG, not Mojang ;) They could probably do a better job than Wizards does when it comes to the online client, but I don't think Hasbro is letting go any time soon. I'm not sure whether it'll be Minecraft: the ...

I think they're all translated and on DVD or Blu-Ray. It doesn't seem that they're on Netflix, Amazon, Hulu or Crunchyroll, though.

Your best bet is probably to see if you can pick up secondhand VHSs at thrift or charity stores, if you don't mind the dubs (and VHSs).

Thought I'd double the point that most tests I've taken are usually very clear in what each question is accessing (especially if you know how the characteristics are separated), meaning that one's own self-image is going to affect the result more than actual behavior of the person, not to mention th...

I've been playing a lot of Ridiculous Fishing , by the same guys who did Luftrausers. Before that, Threes , (which came before 2048--2048 is a clone of 1024, which is a clone of Threes), and before that Hundreds (partly by the guy who made Canabalt). To be honest, however, I've dumped the most time ...
