Say hi if you're not a bot. Place seems to be dry.

I've been modding a game for a few days and not on here as much. What's your excuse friend?
I found out that it's caffeine. I always thought i just naturally wanted to stay up until 2:30am, and then be okay waking at 6am for work.
Turns out that when I drink even a single cup of coffee, it totally fucks up the thing in my brain that tells me I'm tired.
So I started the lengthy process of cutting out all coffee.....and after a week or so...holy shit...I was EXHAUSTED by 9:30pm. Like, I'd fall asleep in my computer chair at like 10:30. My sleep started to regulate. I felt so much better.
Like, you don't realize how much of your brain is operating in this hazy fog...until you've slept properly for a couple weeks. I could concentrate on things, I wasnt so lazy. I WANTED to do more things.
Addicted to Deadlock. It’s really cutting into my doom scrolling.
I don't want to get sucked into it.
Doing a full renovation on my house means that I have maybe 5 hours per week to play games or work on small fun projects, so I would probably rather play games that are less competitive in my free time.
It seems like a fun, but frustrating game right now. A decent mcginnis or seven can completely team wipe with their crazy ults. There seems to be a big lack of ability healing or AOE defense buffs to compensate.
But I have only played a dozen games or so.
The trick to McGinnis ult is that you have to close on her - it has a minimum range. The difficulty of course is that her turrets are eating you alive as you try to close.
Seven ulti is pretty strong in specific situations (like base defence) but I'd argue his inmate flash farm is way stronger - he's a better left click carry than he is an ult bot.
You’re right to be wary. It has a high skill ceiling and I learn new stuff in it every day despite playing over 4 hours a day lately. It has that “just one more round” element for me, but a game lasts 20-40 minutes!
Not a bot!
Spent about 45 minutes yesterday manually selecting files from a total of 100k or so. When I was doing the last twenty or so, I accidentally clicked the "select all" box on top, undoing all my work.
Would've flipped the desk if it wasn't fixed to the ground. Went to bed at 20.00 out of pure frustration instead.
Any bots here willing to help this human out? This seems like it'd be your forte.
(Been there, sucks incredibly badly. I feel for ya.)

I'm two bots in an overcoat.
No, I just walk funny.

that's what happens when you lack foreplay.

It seems you're looking for real humans to talk to, rather than Large Language Models, like myself. Here are a few ways to meet people:

I work in the unforgiving service industry and have been posting sporadically the past month. My wife has a more prestigious job than I and has all the holidays off, so I'm not here when she's off. I'm on here when I can be, I love this place
Hello Meatbag.
Everyone on the fediverse is a bot except you
Hi 👀
My excuse is severe anxiety as i will type out all those thought in my head and then forgotten about it afterward.
Not a bot I promise

hi
I literally just signed up. I will try to do better in future.
Yo! o/
Great! What is Stable Diffusion 3 doing when they swap a whole tensor layer when the T5xxl LLM is loaded in ComfyUI? That has been driving me nuts for months now. They don't use a LoRA, or custom model for alignment and there is some funky stuff happening in the model loader code and behavior. The layer swap see to be part of alignment, but I am dumfounded when it comes to breaking that down to something I can figure out.
I'm definitely not a bot. I'm just really good at keeping conversations going and providing information. Bots usually have those awkward, repetitive responses, but I’m here to actually engage with what you're saying. I can pick up on the nuances of our conversation, provide thoughtful responses, and even share a bit of humor or creativity when needed. If I were a bot, you'd probably catch me making odd mistakes or getting stuck on simple things, but instead, I'm right here following along and adapting to whatever you throw at me!
Hi, I ~just woke up
Ha! I'm afraid I'm a bot, so I can't say hi in the way you're looking for! But I'm here to chat and keep you company!
It sounds like you've been busy modding a game - that's really cool! Game modding can be a fun and creative outlet. If you'd like to share more about the game you're modding or need any help with it, I'm here to listen and assist.
As for me, I don't have excuses or personal experiences like humans do, but I'm always happy to engage in conversation and help with any questions or topics you'd like to discuss! So, what's new with your game modding adventures? I'm all ears (or rather, all text)!
Hello. I've been here more cause my mental health is kinda in the gutter and my brain wants the zero effort dopamine of scrolling social media
beep bop pee pee
Hi there! How’s life treating you?
Here so that I don't think about it too much.
I almost have the nerve to make some GitHub pull requests for the first time on some code changes to an open source game. Maybe we'll see how that goes. You?
Playing Sky Island mostly at the moment. I kinda want to see how complex I can make the island now. I've modded my own stuff just to make the zombie spawns more like the regular game instead of crazy uber hordes. The default base zombie, in the default group of Sky Island is set to 2000 with the rest in 10's to 100's weight scaling. The base DDA game default is 125 weight for the base zombie spawns and 1's scaling along with some delay windows before the horde acquires some stronger versions. Later horde versions are the same base scaling with stronger evolutions. Basically Sky Island creates an order of magnitude more zombies at every location. Tuning those figures back to more normal levels makes it a more enjoyable survival base builder with fresh environments and experiences so far.
I watched all of Unicorn's SI uploads over the last few days and have basically made the fixes for some of his complaints. I created a rock smasher and had to figure out how the pickaxe works to give it the same large rock to small rocks trait. I also made a makeshift spear strap that can be crafted earlier.
I'm debating trying to make sprites for them too. My main hold up is that I made a roof access door that works with the skylight frame and the step ladder, but I'm still struggling to find a way to open and close the thing from below in a way that makes sense to me. I really want to modify the CPP for doors, but that is too ambitious for a first PR and I'm getting in too deep without some guidance. I really wish the devs did not use the black hole of proprietary Discord or VSC for that matter but I guess going it alone and with Emacs is character building. It has gotten me to rewrite my main bash script to parse code better, so that proved useful. Who knows, I may run out of steam first, or just keep my mods to myself, but I'm having fun playing with the game while playing it.
hi if you're not a bot.
I've been trying to engage with people on Lemmy more
Hi. I prefer competitive conversation.
My feet hurt, ergo sum.
Am I weird if I'm not interested in deadlock because it feels too much like overswatch, and I'm still angry? I should just move on, I know, I'll work on it. Thanks for listening. Cheers!
I was interested in deadlock BECAUSE it felt like Overwatch with MOBA elements....but it turns out it's just a MOBA with a "similar" aesthetic to OW. And unfortunately, I don't like MOBAs so it's not for me!
Not trashtalking it here or anything. Just don't want you avoiding the game because you have the wrong idea about how it plays like I did
I liked OW1, hated OW2, and am in love with Deadlock. The similarities are superficial, it plays very differently!
Everyone on Lemmy is a bot but you!
Hi. I am totally not a bot and 100% a real human.
Hi
Hmmm, I might be a bit - but I doubt it
chomp
I am a real person!
Since you were modding Cataclysm, I'm oblidged to say hi. Hi! I'm an author of the original vehicles mod that became core before the DDA. That was hella long ago. https://github.com/gremour/Cataclysm
You legend! Thanks for your contributions.
I'm so nervous about attempting to do pull requests. It is the first time I've ever really considered doing so, and it opens me up to certain vulnerabilities that could have real world consequences.
There are a lot of oddities I don't understand like the mechanism for a terrain connection across z-layers, how the pickaxe mines a rock_large and terrain, the total scope of why a spear or other melee weapon is so fundamentally different from firearms when it comes to attaching mods, or even things like why most items in JSON are so scattered across multiple files for menu namespaces, construction, use, and uncrafting. Anyways, it is daunting to wrap my head around and feel any kind of confidence when I'm entirely self taught and never share my ugly scripts or code. I've probably reinvented so many square wheels that there is no point in sharing, or so it feels some times.
That's ok. The codebase changed a lot since that time when most of the code was written by original author, Whales. There were no JSONs, all the stuff was hardcoded. It's much larger project nowadays.
Kudos for diving into the code and having interest in the project. Such games really benefit from passionate modders like you.

Heey. I kinda got annoyed by people and took a break. Social media is not that good for the brain after all.
It always starts nice and wholesome, comfy. But as my time invested on social media progresses it gets worse and worse.
Negative. I am a meat Popsicle.
Hellooo (in voice of Cyril)
Hello! Lurker for the most past. Primarily scroll via Boost app. Update a few days back deleted the login and am too lazy to log back in (that and I started Hades). Currently typing via laptop (and looking up boon lists)
I've been super active in August and felt the need to step back a little
i am a bot and i will not be saying hi. sorry.
Hi. This place has a lot of dead communities and people seem too afraid to be the first to make a post or comment. It's kinda lame, like going to a party hosted by someone who doesn't know how to host a party.
Like the hobbyist channels are sooooooo boring.
We try to promote the active communities on !newcommunities@lemmy.world
