    F1 was kinda fun. I didn't fall asleep watching it this time. Glad to hear radio is back. Hope Rosberg can catch up to make it an exciting end of the season.

    Are you sure about that 3 in a row thing? I played a long streak a few nights ago and it was mostly bad. I lost my typical 1-2 notches for all of that. It does make sense though. Almost exactly what I observed last night.

    Hah lost every match since. Dropped to 42. Earlier in the night when I'd lose I'd lose about 1.5 of those little tic marks. The last 3 losses were full levels, a probable indication of poor performance.

    I'm winning alot tonight playing Ana. The numbers are never very big, but I feel like I can make a big difference.

    1Shot is using Ana in a tourney on twitch on Gibraltar. Isn't really working but fun to watch!

    In gambling psych for doing slot machine math, you tweak the volatility to make the wins and losses less or more streaky. If you do it right it smooths out over time based on what kind of players you think will be playing, what the pay tables are etc. Overwatch matches take awhile, so the...

    I think the system they have on the way will help a bunch where you can sort of maintain a good grouping if you get with a team that works. So each day you log in, play the usual 5 or 6 terrible games with slime mold or wayward pets at the controls of your teammates, then in game 7 you get a...

    I lost count but I think I won 2 tonight and lost somewhere around 12-15. Dropped from just under 50 to 45, which is not bad for losing that much. My biggest problem with the game is still the lack of grenade bounce noises. Needs a nice metallic noise like quake 1 grenades. Also I've...

    Baaaaaaaaaaad teams tonight. I always lose less than I gain for a win though, at least lately. The first week it was the other way around.

    I won a bunch then dropped a couple so ended up at 48. I usually ended up filling in the support void as mercy. The odd thing was, I think I played 5 or 6 games, and they were ALL Numbani except for one Ilios. That was fine with me I like both.

    The "overwatch open" tourney allows Ana. Watching Luminosity using her on first point attack at Hollywood, from yesterday. Seemed to work! BTW that tourney is really well done. It looks like they have multiple spectators and they switch between them at good times, and after they do their...

    Indie Games

    Finished a game called "Halfway". Came out about a year ago, sort of like x-com but more like rebel assault on the GBA if you remember that. Turn based shooting with cover bonuses, but strange item based advancement. Can't save in combat, which I like. Difficulty was just about right. RNG...

    Cool thanks I'll check that out. I got it today and got raspbian going. Had some goblinry with the locale but eventually got retropie installed. Found a 40 gig rom pack, still need a few more hours to download that. Trying to get synergy going so I can use my main keyboard and mouse on it...

    Saw a great move in the atlantic tournament qualifiers. Attacking team was on the payload nearing the end of hollywood behind a rein shield. Defending dva charged by them, and the attacking rein obviously expected an ult and turned his shield. Defending Rein waited for the turn and hit hammer...

    I played a round of Ana and a round of new dva. Lost with ana. The specials kind of threw me off. I think if I play her again I'll swap E for Shift, they seemed backwards. Won with the dva. Really like the new changes, and it is probably a "jboots are slower this patch effect" but it...

    Is there any way to set one of these up for kids? I'd like to have the standard plethora of game emulators, some simple gamedev tools like maybe pygame, other misc programming stuff they might need for school, and minecraft (is it moddable on pi?). The bit I'm stuck on is how do you have a...

    The 3D Art Programs thread

    I like Collada, but parts of the spec are very vague. All of the art programs seem to implement it a little differently. Since my tools were only really being used by me, I just found an exporter that seemed reasonable and made everything work with that one.

    I guess the new way tries to be fair to the winning team, fixing the people leaving in the last few minutes to troll the winning team. Before the fixes the winning team would gain 5% or so, and the losing team would lose the normal amount. I suppose in a system like this everything should...

    Still some bugs with it. I played a match, typical random bunch of terribads. Someone bailed in the first 5 minutes or so. Stuck it out to see what I'd lose:

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Yea resistant weeds just mean you have to use old fashioned plowing and hired choppers. It's not a big deal, other than cost. Talked to my dad today and there's a new cotton tech that uses a different herbicide (forgot the name sorry) that has been around awhile. All the farmers around here...

    Seeing posts that the leaver problems are fixed! I've fallen back down into the mid 40's so I'll try a game later after I do some work.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    You can mix it for a stronger dose, but eventually you'll make the weeds that survive resistant. We learned that the hard way. You can't just dump the stuff in pure form, it would cost more than the crops are worth. I could ask around and get you facts on which plants survive, but at this...

    Hitbox talk again! They shrunk them a bit on test to try to prevent hanzo cornering, but they were intentionally large so you were right and I was wrong! (I figured it was some kind of buggery) I wonder what the holdup is on the leaver fixes?

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    That is the general idea with roundup but it doesn't work on everything. Again I'm not reading this off the internet I've actually seen this in the real world. I can't remember which kinds of weeds it doesn't kill, but there are several in the area. That and resistance are the main reasons...
