Ah sorry, my reading comprehension failed me there.

Yea, True Detective. That 4th episode. MAN.

You should look into a standalone IRC client, Gorgomongous.You'll (probably) have none of those issues.

I could use a little help since I've been fucking around for hours yesterday and did not get very far. So here's a piece of what I'm trying to do (Unity plugin required). So the little white thing is the aiming reticule, which you can move around the square, stationary playerObject with the mouse (The mouse coordinates are in world space). Now there's 2 things that are happening that I don't want: 1. The reticule is sideways and, dumbest thing, I can't figure out how to rotate it the 90 degrees required. 2. when you get to the exact vertical center line of the playerObject, be it top or bottom, the thing flips that 90 degrees. Which is how I wanted it to look. This is the code that does that rotation stuff (it's on the reticule object): Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(playerObject.position - transform.position); rotation.x = 0; rotation.y = 0; transform.rotation = rotation; I don't understand why 2 is happening and I don't understand how to do 1. I want to understand! SOLVED! BigJKO to the rescue! LookRotation can take another variable, which: So the new code looks like this: Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(playerObject.position - transform.position, Vector3.forward); rotation.x = 0; rotation.y = 0; transform.rotation = rotation; and it works like this.

To answer your question.

To join the channel, you need to type /join #idlethumbs in the status window. Edit: He "did that" but not exactly that, NOW DID YOU?

It's been a great experience so far. Lots of helpful advice/technical help for would-be game makers and plenty of banter too. Plus it's fun to just let it idle and check to see what conversations are going on every once in a while. I rate #idlethumbs 5 out 5 stars. I totally forgot that Pidgin has an IRC thing too!

It is now!!

Definitely. That looks amazing! I recently saw that I put over 100 hours into Arma 3. If this keeps up it's going to be my most played game of all time! (Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 at 156 and 159 hours, respectively)

Man, hidden gem is such a good tag for that game.

I think IRC is what's been missing from my life since I last used IRC. Come idle at #idlethumbs everyone!

If you're on a motorcycle/scooter and you head on collide with a bigger vehicle you get INSANE heights! It's pretty hilarious. The height I got on that one ain't got nothing on what happened when I drove straight into elmuerte earlier that evening. I survived that fall too!

Here's amazon sized me tackling an air bridge: And an explosion where James used to be

I could swear it said Alien at some point...

That is the best thing I've seen in a while, hahahahahaha! Holy shit!!

I haven't watched all of the pitches yet, BUT HOLY SHIT AM I EXCITED! I'm so happy there is another fortnight!!!

Knowing Rodi a bit, I know that wasn't at all aimed at your person. I wouldn't even call it snark either, just a light-hearted joke.

And.... Not a puppy, but...

Clyde, maybe you could add Hangout link to the original post with a little explanation of stuff? I also wouldn't mind a day and date where we get as many people together as we can, have a little amateur hour round table for questions, discussions, input etc? Or would that be too much?

Yea!

Yes, that's my thinking too. First see how it goes and if it proves popular and sticks (and grows), then get a sub-forum for this. And there's something nice about the idea of having it contained to 1 thread for now. I think we have the right amount of people for this to not lose oversight and devolve into complete chaos.

Yea, what Tycho said. Build off and evening of drinking with drinking plenty of water. You'll greatly reduce any hangovers you might have or even not get one at all. Also, take fries, put döner or Shwarma on top, grated cheese on top of that and put into oven until the cheese has melted. Then put fresh lettuce on top of it and douse it with garlic sauce. KAPSALON!

Total fucking bummer, but Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his appartment today. Current word on the street is that he OD'd on something.

I don't know this is something for me, but I'm very interested in finding out. I would like to try this.

Yea, I cancelled my TV subscription about 5-7 years ago and I don't miss it at all. When I watch TV when I'm at someone else's place, it's a reminder of why I don't watch TV anymore. When you're used to being able to watch shows in your own time at your own pace, it's hard to go back.
