Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Tell my wife I said, "[chat]."

suck it up princess! i walked around the wind-tunnel of my downtown city in -30C without a scarf, because i forgot it.
nah -15 is pretty cold, no lie.
also daxon i have been thinking about moving but it is a large logistical challenge
The thing is, you can't line item veto the unlawful detention bit. You have to veto troop pay as well.

If its not F2P in 12 months I will be shocked
GIMP works in the absence of other, much better tools.
I mean, its not bad by any stretch, but I always feel like I am working AGAINST the GIMP interface as opposed to making content.
You are not understanding. Layers have pixels that are fully transparent and others that are opaque. You make your pattern initially on a transparent layer, duplicate it 4+ times, positions the duplicates, merge them, repeat until it's big enough for you.
Or you can make your pattern on a transparent (non-background) layer and when you copy/paste, it'll not include any background anyway because there is nothing there to include but blank pixels.
You are trying to find a feature that no longer makes sense in the editor you are using.
It's like 4C without and actually with wind chill it doesn't even feel like it goes below 0C
So I am excellently located. Once I get to London it'll be EVEN WARMER
Are there better tools for free?
Like CCGs? Check my CCG's Thread in CF and help me playtest it!
yeah well
until you deal with southern israeli summers
you can suck mah dick
In a sense of the word, the government has always been able to detain someone indefinitely without cause.
The government has soldiers and prisons and tanks and guns and jets and bombs and hopefully a small squad of highly trained cyborg ninjas for real emergencies.
I think what's more relevant is what the government can get away with. There's a correlation between the two, and we shouldn't celebrate bad laws, but the relevant data point is what the government actually does.
This will stretch all my abilities in design (of which there are not many).
I thought you could, actually?
like, people talking about how they really have to sit down and work on getting through the enormous pile of entertainment that they're behind on, talking about how they managed to beat two games this week like it's some sort of satisfying achievement, in the same tone that one might use to discuss making a table or completing an essay
this sort of atmosphere of obligation and fulfillment around digital time-wasting machines
creepy
You can layer tons of transparent cels on top of each other, one with the background, the near field background, the character, etc...
All creates one image, but done by arranging the order of individual elements.
It is superior.
I see. Did I mention I've been using the program for approximately 15 minutes?
Out of curiosity why?
It had well over a million pre orders, it's not more buggy than other MMO releases. It has a ton of content, some new features, a lot of old features that just work. Star Wars.
Paint.NET
Gimpshop (GIMP with a non-retarded GUI)
Inkscape (not directly the same type of program, but worth a mention because it is fucking awesome)
That said, it always feels like I am trying to thread a needle while wearing winter gloves when using it. It does everything, but it is so damn awkward, and doesn't conform to ANY UI paradigm, windows, mac, KDE/Gnome or otherwise.
Bah, things are working well enough with GIMP, but I'll keep it in mind. I don't draw/compose much anyway.

You're in Ottawa, right?
Out here it's been a ridiculous +6 to -7 range for highs and lows for weeks and weeks. Crazy!
Once you learn how to use layers effectively in a tool that implements them well, going back to a tool that does not is frustrating as shit.
That wouldn't make any sense.
Because you would be changing the law that the parliament wants to put in place.
So it would have to go back to them and they'd have to vote on the amendment to the law, before they wanted to put it forward again.
The legislative branch is just proposing the law to the executive, in this case the executive has a right to veto the law. If they veto it the legislative either has a choice of voting on passing it without the executive's say (which they would have been able to do) or they can try reworking the law and then offering it up again to the executive branch.
hopefully this means he wants to give me buckets of cash to host his friday night party!
i used to feel this way! no one wants to feel like they wasted money on an impulse buy. but once i realized that simply owning games that i liked made me happy
i stopped caring about the backlog. i enjoy the fact that i can play these games whenever the mood strikes
Whatever GIMP's interface looks like it will make that look neat and perfect.
Sweater?
Clinton could, for like 10 minutes. The Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional.

As our society becomes increasingly focused on entertainment, I find the division between forms somewhat puzzling. I understand there's a difference between a book and a videogame, but I do find it kind of unusual that "I finished 4 books this month" is a laudable achievement and "I finished 4 videogames this month" is not.
I don't really find a sense of accomplishment unusual when finishing a videogame. Games are usually intended to require effort, work, and attention to beat, they are games in that they are challenges meant for a player to overcome, so it seems quite sensible that a player feel a sense of accomplishment once a game is completed.
It's not in line with current legislature. Previously the Executive Branch was given these broad powers because it said it wanted them and the Supreme Court said "Okay." Now it's codified into legislature. Functionally, for the purposes of the President being able to consign someone to the dungeons without charge or due process, things are the same, but this is a change and it is bad.
Apparently it's a thing. But only dealing with financials. I wonder if it could involve the inverse, the bill deals with financials and he's vetoing the non-financial parts. It would probably take a president with pretty big balls and a congress with similarly big balls, and a supreme court with even larger ones to challenge a line-item veto in the inverse.
Given the bolded text
and given that I suspect that you don't have a comparable reaction to a person's reading list
I wonder how much of this is due to a perception, conscious or not, that video games are without cultural merit.
I figured it's what the cool kids are calling SWTOR these days.
Oh, well then. Fuck them all for all I care.
Well I think that most people still believe -- rightly so perhaps -- that the basic act of reading is a more intellectual exercise, while video games are a more synaptic one.
Z-brush is bad, true.
But GIMP? Major functions hidden behind and only accessible via right clicks on the image canvas, shitty panel management, it is all awful.
