MP3ify.com: now this is pretty nifty!

Where DO people get music these days? I'm so out of touch.


I don't like any newer stuff usually so personally I don't bother (kids get off my lawn!). Most people I think either use iTunes or get them off private torrent's - What.cd is the popular one these days I think.

I get a lot of stuff off Jamendo lately. It's all creative commons licensed, you pay whatever you want, things of that nature. Unlike most sites like that (ccmixter.org for example) you don't generally have to dig very much to find something really good and there is a big variety of stuff. Brad Sucks is really good. pornophonique do the 8-bit sound stuff and sing about robots - it's like finally someone truely understands me *tear*

Music - Found an old song I made

This thread would have been better if ThePrivateLifeOfMe had a Kanye West avatar.

Speaking of Menus...

Fine ^^

Before


After

I'm not sure where the bias comes from, but the auto levels makes a slight difference. After running the automatic levels, it gets rid of the warm feeling it had before making it colder but it doesn't really seem that much brighter. Oh yeah I ran these on the original images, the thumbnails are posted here so that the images are closer together to help visualize the difference better.

When I do it manually with my hands and those sliders, it makes a very slight difference at best, and makes the image look like you're staring into the sun or very dark at worst.


Auto levels just tries to balance the Red, Green, and Blue color channels mainly. It's useful for like the typical Myspace photo taken indoors where it's washed out in yellow/orange light. By balancing the RGB scales more equally it drops that yellowish color back to white (if you have equal red, green, and blue you get a neutral tone). In your case, auto levels aren't going to help you as an artist placed those colors and artists are not fooled into using yellows when they mean green as easily as a camera (with an ignorant photographer) is. All it's doing is boosting the blue channel on you washing out your warm colors.

Monitor Calibration that I use if anyone wants to check theirs. CRT monitors I usually can just use the buttons on the monitor and get it set. LCD seem to always come set too bright, and the best way to calibrate them is using the video drivers instead of the monitor buttons. I think the monitor buttons just mess with the backlight rather than the actual pixel values.

Standards

Well apparently one standard of mine was "does the main character have drill hair? y/n" The moment I saw Nessiah's Marian design I wanted to play it, and I didn't even care what it was about.

Hiding the party's hp/mp in battle but not the first actor's. (RMVX)

Easiest way is probably just dropping an if statement around it and checking for the character index you want.

if index == 0
draw_actor_hp(actor, 174, rect.y, 120)
draw_actor_mp(actor, 310, rect.y, 70)
end

Your net might be too crappy for it but if it isn't you'd probably like La Main des Maîtres. Story is kind of weird, but you might like the look of it.

Also a How to draw Steampunk Machines http://www.crabfu.com/steamtoys/diy_steampunk/.

Fabulous resource I'd like to share with all of you.

That guy has a few cool little apps. There is an online version of that particular one too: as3Sfxr.

How tolerant are you to legitimately difficult bosses?

And either of those IV games are SEGA not Nintendo.


"Nintendo Hard" is just a level of difficulty, doesn't literally mean Nintendo made it. Danger TV tropes link, be prepared to waste hours.

How tolerant are you to legitimately difficult bosses?

Xenogears had some of my favorite boss fights. It's not perfect but it's closest to my ideal out of everything I've played. I don't like the "endurance match" thing everyone does. I like the strategy part, and I think once you figure out the strategy there is no reason to make someone sit there for 15 minutes rehashing that strategy. Reward them for using their brain rather than time.
