The penultimate secret is ONLY START WHAT YOU CAN FINISH.

Be reasonable in your scope.

I have actually gone insane this time and am doing a battle system. luckily it doesn't require many original ideas as it already exists.



now in widescreen! putting the graphics together (otherwise known as a MOCKUP). character poses are obviously temporary until I can be bothered to do the edits.

it looks essentially the same as the original FF6 battle system that I am callously stealing the graphics from and it will play similarly too. there are certain obvious differences though (big ol' Gilgamesh for a start), and there are more subtle differences: the backdrop moves, and I've used a more saturated blue for the windows. black bars at the top and bottom are compensating for my big dong the size of the backdrop. damn the SNES and its resolution.


coding starts tomorrow!

is this a good idea ??

also: that in-battle conversation is far too long. how do they have time to say all that when they are being attacked by a monster? you should probably do it before the battle.

also also: a lot is two words.

Pirate Bay Copyright Case

yup. studying in his home country (the Netherlands) so European law is the only kind of law he needs to know!

Pirate Bay Copyright Case

Yeah, that's exactly what they run, which is why this is a ridiculous verdict (and will probably be overturned by either the subsequent appeal or the European court)

a fairly detailed explanation of why (from a law student):
I really have no idea how they could have been found guilty. With currently existing technology it's impossible to tell with 100% certainty if a particular torrent file links to a work that is actually protected by the plaintiff. It's legally highly dubious whether possession of a useless, encrypted segment of a protected work is equal to possession of the complete work.

And, of course, the most compelling evidence of all: The Pirate Bay is really just like Google. They're both search engines differing only in what they search for. (The Pirate Bay only points you to torrent files, all of which are legal without exception, whereas Google can give you anything from MP3s to YouTube versions of entire movies.)

Technically, they weren't even linking to illegal material. They were linking to perfectly legal torrent files which linked to the people who have the material, who then, on their own, made a P2P connection to send the files. Shouldn't that mean, at best, that torrent files are illegal, rather than the sites that contain them? If The Pirate Bay is guilty, that means anything that arbitrarily helped this process should be illegal too. Including the torrent program, the web server the site was running on, the TCP/IP layer in the operating system used to send the packets, and the network cards and cables. All of these things "help" to make the process possible.

I think the judge must have decided on the guilty verdict because they call themselves "pirates", even though there's nothing illegal about calling yourself anything.

..calling yourself a "pirate" doesn't incriminate you when all you are doing is running a perfectly legal and profitable business, such as a website that has revenue from its visitors clicking on the advertisements. Making money isn't illegal. It might make them look bad, but that's why justice is blind.

This is how the law is supposed to see it in the European Union. whatever your stance on piracy, you can't argue with the law. I am actually perplexed by this judgement, but moreso by the harsh sentence.

what's the craziest thing you've actually seen?

What can I use to make Chiptunes?

yeah trackers are basically your best option if you want something standalone, although with GXSCC it's simply a case of composing the MIDI in a different program and simply importing it. not to mention that trackers are pretty daunting to a first time user in my experience.

What can I use to make Chiptunes?

Half an hour of that time is going to be spent listening to a glorious chiptune version of X Japan's excellent Art of Life.

i am that hardcore

What can I use to make Chiptunes?

oh god I am having so much fun with this.
