I'd certainly welcome you back. :3

Very very tired and on the penumbra of being buzzed.

This is a very unusual feeling for me.

drinking tea and listening to music.

Lazy sunday get.

Battlefield 4.

The way HL2 does its (non-crossbow) projectiles is a kind of hybrid projectile/hitscan. It uses mathematics to determine the distance the bullet has traveled along the hitscan path, and unless you're in the path when the projectile is supposed to hit, it doesn't do any damage. It also renders a projectile, and updates its position based on the mathematics.

I'm trying to think why they would even do that. If this is true then they overcomplicated a rather simple method by using both setups to do what basically a rendered projectile would do by itself. With a rendered projectile, all the math and collision checks are done on the projectile itself (whatever method they use to move the projectile, collision checks, physics if any, even trailing particle effects) I want to think it was a sign of the times but it's basically what they did for the crossbow anyways so... idunno. Maybe I'm missing something but that just sounds like bad practice.

Thin clouds moving along the mountain range but everything else is spotless clear. Warm, not hot.

Eating lunch and mentally brainstorming a future game idea. I want to one day do a souls-like but that's a longterm goal. For now I'll just plan out the world.

Quesadillas. 3 of them. I'm really hungry.

Stardew Valley.

So much time put into the game. So little of it actually seen. And all of this made by one single guy working every day for 4 years. He deserves every cent he makes off this game and then some.

Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons.

Seems like a great time to retreat into hermitness.

Not saying they're doing this but the bullet could be a particle projected along the line of the raycast. Only way to really check that would be to do the timescale thing and check if damage is being applied even when the bullet is still on it's way to the player.

Hitscan only wins out over physical projectiles in a highly specific, low framerate scenario where a bullet going too fast will update it's position in large gaps and risk skipping over the player completely. That can be avoided by drawing a line between it's current position and last frame position but if you're in a low framerate that's probably stupid because that's further system intensive. But even in that scenario the bullet would have to be going fast enough that you may as WELL be using hitscan. In the end it's all about how much effort the coder wants to put into it really.

Battlefield 4

Honestly, this game is miles more fun without vehicles. That being said when I got stuck 3 times against a team where the only people who were rank 140 were on the other team and all camping in vehicles so you couldn't even get near them, I decided it was time to quit.

If you can't play without letting the other team play, don't play online.

Those who play Bloodborne will get it.

AKA Friendzoned: The Song.

I'm aromantic.

Which is weird when you think about it because romance is one of my favorite book genres.

Sorry kitty.:/

Dark Souls

For some reason I can't coop anymore. Or invade. Or be invaded. Or even see messages on the ground. Like I've permanently lost connection.

:/

^pretty much

Jittery and sick.

I made the mistake of having a rather large cup of coffee on an empty stomach during Batman v Superman and my hands are shaking so bad right now it's hard to type. Should NOT have done that.

Sunny and warm.

sigh...

Mostly television, yes. In the past he's been in a few movies (Independence Day, Men in Black, Anaconda) but you only ever see his arm or the back of his out of focus head. I still think his funniest role was getting to be a body double for Jon Voight's legs in Anaconda. XD

I've always liked music machines like that and even better when what comes out of it sounds that great.

Watching youtube videos while trying to stay warm.

Edit: Just stumbled across a video of a poker player named Phil Hellmuth. No wonder they call him the "poker brat" what a giant man-baby lmao. Can't lose without a tantrum.

Cold but still no rain. Once again a "rain for tomorrow" report by the weather channel. The same thing they've said every day for 2 weeks now.

How on earth did they get a job being this wrong?

I really like this song.
