I'm thinking about getting a Famicom with disk system just as a decorative piece because it looks cool. 😅

I want to shift focus to improving VS Code's version control flows soon. 🔀

what are some things you like/dislike currently? more importantly, what's frustrating you?

I'll start: I'm missing a visual git-log and feel disoriented because of it.

@MostlyBlindGamer thanks! super useful!

@garrett thanks! I have the exact same thing. I don't trust "Sync".

naming it "Pull + Push" might help, but then there is all the other undefined behaviour that comes after pulling like you mention.

@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@garrett there seems to be some opt-in auto fetching going on, but it's not utilised in many places...

hbons,
@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@garrett you could say all these features need to be octopus merged into a good UX. 😅

@matthegap how do you get the git-blame info now?

Icon for @tchx84's new game authoring environment 🕹️

@tbernard @tchx84 looks good. maybe bump the saturation on the grid overlay a bit?

hbons,
@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@tbernard saturation. I always used this trick when creating full colour icons. Bumping saturation on shadows/shading instead of just using black makes them look better in my opinion. :)

hbons, (edited )
@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@tbernard yes! went from good to great! 😁

hbons,
@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@danirabbit @tbernard right. also shadows shouldn’t stack. when you put out a table in the sun, then put another table on top, the shadow underneath doesn’t get twice as dark…

this looks really awful specially in macOS. the shadow should only be applied once on the group of visible windows.

@danirabbit @tbernard nice. left looks “natural”.

...and to avoid licensing fees to the DVD Forum. 💸
Some GameCube games with large amounts of data span two discs, such as Resident Evil 4, Baten Kaitos, and Tales of Symphonia. 💿💿
Some multi-platform games that fit on single discs for PlayStation 2 and Xbox had certain features removed in order to fit on GameCube Game Discs. ✂️
Full-motion video scenes and audio clips have higher compression or lower quality to fit on a single disc. 🎞️

@repeatro I remember GC games having much shorter load times than other consoles. were the smaller discs a factor here?

@halva specially designers need to stop using Apple hardware and see what their design really look like to most people.

hbons,
@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@peteriskrisjanis @halva nothing wrong with using Macs, I do so myself. I’ve also seen designers obsess over the shading of a button that wouldn’t even be visible for most people that used Lenovo’s with bad screens back then.

what are the project’s priorities?
“what would you like to work on?”

look. I’m tired of these silly games. next time I’m going to add hacker sounds to the terminal output. that’s what I /like/ to work on.

hbons,
@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@MostlyBlindGamer I have a feeling this is mostly because management hasn’t done their homework (in my case) and they want to be able to put the blame on you when the right thing hasn’t been worked on…

oops. accidentally bought a PS2 Slim from the charity shop…

I think Wario Land 2 uses more than four shades of gray. The DMG only supported four grayscales, but I think I can count more in this shot. Probably they use some temporal dithering, e.g. mixing two different shades in alternating frames to get a third shade. Does anyone have additional information?

hbons,
@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@root42 try playing the game in a debug emulator? if that’s the case you should be able to see the palettes or tiles swap very quickly.

hbons,
@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@root42 nice! I need to use this trick. :)

can't focus on anything and overwhelmed by everything right now. I know what to do. just can't start. having the doorway effect on every app/tab/file/DM switch... 😩
