Retired pro gamedev, SNES thru Xbone. Tinkerer & thinkerer. GenX. I want humanity to achieve more. I try to help with that.

My name rhymes with "Elise".

@shanecelis @fsouchu Hmm, what else is normally done once per frame then? You could just do it when _draw() is called, but you're kinda boned if they roll their own main loop. Maybe _update_buttons() ... I think that's its name ...? On real P8 that has to be called once per tick of a custom main loop or the input will be stale.

@Liquidream Could you swap faceplates on that one? I remember I had a 6160 and a ton of different stylish faceplates. This one isn't exactly stylish (or mine) but you get the idea:

@dddaaannn I dunno. I see a future where the page-turner is out of a job because an AI can follow the music and turn the page automatically. 😕

@fsouchu @shanecelis I feel like, if anything is going to flush resources, it should be flip().

Also it's interesting that the rectfill in the game is slightly bigger than the screen, but that's a common mistake and it was made early in the devs' careers, so I guess it's not surprising to see it.

@ash @Farbs Yeah, I think it's because it's not really socially respectable to curate/boost your own stuff, since you're obviously biased and have a horse in the race, whereas when you simply find something cool, it's assumed it stood out from the pack in some way and thus is worth pointing out.

@krystman I don't trust AI to do anything except to find stuff for me. Otherwise it's just the worst game of Telephone ever with just one other player who has a very large but inaccurate memory.

@sean You mite be rite. It's slitely faster to type.

@TomF After hearing Astrid S doing Norway's national anthem, I don't really care about any other anthem at this point. Norway wins.

@Liquidream "Paused" 😕

@sean OMFG thank you for telling me this. I hate that there's no keyboard shotcut for it.

@Ronflaix Do you mean cppreference.com? I still see a search box.

Oh wait, I see what you mean.

I guess it saves on bandwidth/cycles?

@krystman Krystian, you really have an eye for taking a pretty photo. Have you been doing it for a long time? I don't know much about you outside of gamedev.

@Ronflaix Clint Eastwood approves.

@JeremiahFieldhaven @Ronflaix Doesn't matter, really. Transistors really are just relays.

@Natasha_Jay Wonderful! 😍

I looked up the artist. There's more of her work on her website:

'You Blew Me Away 8' by sculptor Penny Hardy, sculpture made from upcycled scrap metal ⚙️

#WomensArt #Art #Artwork #Artist

A tall sculpture of a woman made from rusty cogs and metal pieces set in a field. Photographed side on the impression of her body being blown in a windswept manner

@Ronflaix I can tell you from personal experience that you are not the first person this ever happened to. 😓

@minionsoft The tip of the arrow is really the only dangerous bit.

@Liquidream @Middaparka Haha this reminds me of a time I was practicing darts at the public dartboard in the kitchen at work, just trying to shoot double-bulls over and over to work on my aim. I seldom got more than one per round, sometimes two. A recent hire walked in and I somehow managed a triple right then, and they laughed and said, "I am NOT playing you at darts!" and walked right back out. I'm not sure I ever even shot another triple. 😅

@krystman Not sure what genres of game you like within that theme, but I've recently been playing a game called Cabernet and it's been pretty interesting:
