KaBob799: November 7 07:44 am: sure its an old tablet but it was $550 back in 2018 and my previous best tablet was like $80 in 2017 lol KaBob799: November 7 07:45 am: Now that I don't have twitter I need something to do during my breaks at work so I figure I might as well get a device that lets me be productive KaBob799: November 7 07:46 am: the other reason for a surface go is I should be able to find a lunchbox that it fits in KaBob799: November 7 07:57 am: and conveniently i already have a really nice bluetooth keyboard designed for a tablet of exactly that size KaBob799: November 7 07:58 am: I can't really remember why I bought it, ironically back when the surface go came out KaBob799: November 7 08:01 am: The only thing I'm missing is a mouse but its hard to say if I'll need one with the touch screen, if I do I could just grab a $2 one off vine KaBob799: November 7 08:07 am: and in the meantime I have like 5 old mice with broken scroll wheels that I could use lol KaBob799: November 8 08:45 pm: the only bluetooth mouse on there yesterday was really expensive and dumb looking lol KaBob799: November 8 08:48 pm: oh cool they have 3rd party surface pens on vine so I grabbed one of those too KaBob799: November 8 08:48 pm: and I can get a 3rd party power adapter on there if it doesn't come with one Coronation: November 9 04:49 am: surface pen? that's like the pen i use to draw, or something fancier than that? Coronation: November 9 04:50 am: actually i'm super lazy, i should have at least set pen controls for the eraser button on the back Coronation: November 9 04:50 am: i did it for the clip studio paint but i'm doing smaller pieces in paint.net primarily, with touch ups after Coronation: November 9 04:53 am: actually, now i think i've seen those in my college chemistry class by a few classmates KaBob799: November 9 04:55 am: The tablet probably won't run photoshop well enough to use but the pen costs me like 3 dollars lol KaBob799: November 10 06:54 am: Ok with my current settings it has taken about 24 hours to get 20 minutes of the Sonic movie re-encoded KaBob799: November 10 06:55 am: and hopefully it's a success at the end, I want a 50% or greater size reduction while still maintaining reasonable quality KaBob799: November 10 07:12 am: at this rate though it's going to take the entire winter to make even a dent in these conversions KaBob799: November 10 07:12 am: i chose the sonic movie specifically because its one of the shortest ones KaBob799: November 10 07:25 am: now in my experience the credits tend to convert slightly faster so its possible it will be 4.5 days KaBob799: November 10 07:55 am: I think i might need to buy a co2 detector to check co2 levels in my apartment KaBob799: November 10 07:55 am: I keep getting really tired on the weekends but I opened a window just now and instantly felt more awake Coronation: November 11 04:35 pm: a pal and i were talking about it and agreed that z-moves were a better end result than what that was, but it was interesting to see nonetheless Coronation: November 11 04:35 pm: don't think z-moves are 10/10 myself but the effects on this one are all over the place lol Coronation: November 11 04:36 pm: we have a co2 detector at home now, i think it was a couple of years ago it was installed Coronation: November 11 04:36 pm: don't remember it going off for anything but it is a good peace-of-mind thing KaBob799: November 11 11:19 pm: Usually they'll tell you the actual amount instead of just being an alarm Coronation: November 12 06:01 am: was trying something a little different with the eyes, sorta like a compromise but i'm not actually sure if i like it Coronation: November 12 06:01 am: it's the kind of thing that looks different in my head than on (digital) paper Coronation: November 12 06:53 am: looks a bit better with the two-toned eyes, kinda alleviates some of the issue for me Coronation: November 12 06:54 am: for what it's worth, i did actually like the old art for it quite a bit Coronation: November 12 06:54 am: but i just wanted to let the evo have blue eyes - so i had to adjust the shape so it would have color and also be expressive Coronation: November 12 07:13 am: maybe the foreshortened one is too short? tho tbh maybe saying the stretched one is a little big is true too KaBob799: November 12 07:18 am: It kinda feels like the forearm is just floating there, not actually attached KaBob799: November 12 10:03 am: Spent tonight updating this old 2009 era computer I have sitting on my desk KaBob799: November 12 10:03 am: it was my wives computer for a couple years but it kinda sucks nowadays lol KaBob799: November 12 10:03 am: I realized though I could upgrade it from a hard drive to an SDD for like $15, which might have significant performance effects KaBob799: November 12 10:04 am: and then I can reinstall windows 7 on it and use it for retro pc gaming KaBob799: November 12 10:05 am: idk if I will, I'll need to open it up to see what the inside looks like KaBob799: November 12 10:06 am: technically I could probably give it a graphics card for cheap too, because a 2009 era graphics card on ebay is gonna be dirt cheap KaBob799: November 12 10:08 am: so a decent 2010ish desktop card should do very well compared to a low-mid range laptop KaBob799: November 13 01:55 am: Took them so long to ship it that they missed their delivery estimate KaBob799: November 13 08:32 am: the move itself is not particularly interesting, but the reason it exists is KaBob799: November 13 08:33 am: The implication is going to be that the move causes intoxication like a drug/alcohol KaBob799: November 13 08:34 am: so it can be kind of an in-joke for the games without having to actually reference alcohol/whatever KaBob799: November 13 08:56 am: The type of vague jokes that you can get away with without getting a hit on your ESRB rating lol KaBob799: November 13 09:00 am: But I feel it's important for world building to not just pretend like stuff doesn't exist KaBob799: November 13 10:30 am: a way to sniff out the people who list 2 or 3 random movies in a single listing KaBob799: November 13 10:30 am: which normally doesn't show up because the combined price puts it nowhere near the top of the normal list KaBob799: November 13 06:47 pm: windows restarted my computer last night, losing the 4+ days of re-encoding I had done KaBob799: November 13 06:47 pm: it looks like it waited until right after I went to sleep to do it without asking KaBob799: November 13 06:48 pm: I got 90% of the movie and it came in at 8gb which means I actually need to increase the size to reach my goal KaBob799: November 13 07:01 pm: next test I'll do a gpu encode which is ridiculously faster but is said to not look as nice KaBob799: November 13 07:01 pm: but obviously the whole 5 day encode thing isn't gonna work until windows 10 support ends KaBob799: November 13 07:02 pm: because they love to sneak out random updates in the middle of the night without warning anyone Coronation: November 13 10:31 pm: man that sucks, i know my computer likes to pull that stuff too at times KaBob799: November 15 07:22 am: You know I'm glad I never watched Mr Beast now that he's apparently become friends with Logan Paul and started investing in crypto scams KaBob799: November 15 07:23 am: It's kinda sad because from what I heard he was an ok by maybe slightly naive guy when his channel was new KaBob799: November 15 07:24 am: also finally 32 hours later my package arrived in my city from Illinois, no idea why a 12 hour drive took that long KaBob799: November 15 07:25 am: really hoping they deliver it by 3pm so I can have it for work today KaBob799: November 15 09:44 am: I just had a game idea with a name so good that I can't say it because I might want the domain KaBob799: November 15 09:44 am: I think this might be what I work on with my tablet during my breaks KaBob799: November 15 09:47 am: I don't think it will be an amazing revolutionary game or anything but it seems like a small fun idea that could theoretically be achievable KaBob799: November 15 09:47 am: which is much better than a great idea that takes 20 years to finish lol KaBob799: November 15 07:21 pm: For $7 I just got Ender's Game, Ready Player One, Maze Runner and Jupiter Ascending thanks to my new blu ray lot search lol KaBob799: November 15 07:22 pm: although they only had a picture of ender's game so we'll see how the other 3 look KaBob799: November 15 09:59 pm: Tablet got delivered 30 minutes too late for me to bring it to work today <_< Coronation: November 16 01:19 am: only thing i've seen are candy bars with his name on them at my deli Coronation: November 16 01:20 am: thinking of names is hard so that's good that you have something catch Coronation: November 16 01:49 am: i've been considering naming my little art thread something relating to florilegia as a title - i had it in mind before but i think it's more of a central theming so it might be something to keep track of Coronation: November 16 01:49 am: i don't think it's very descriptive as a name like that so idk how i'd work it, but i'm not worried about it atm Coronation: November 16 01:59 am: hmm, they fixed most of the things about the plushie i showed earlier - i'm still not quite satisfied with the ears, but maybe i'm being unreasonable about it? Coronation: November 16 01:59 am: like i don't think it's that crazy to do, but maybe it is and i'm just not aware Coronation: November 16 01:59 am: trying to find examples of how it'd be but idk maybe it is just a weird concept to envision as a plushie Coronation: November 16 02:03 am: i kinda envisioned it like from a resting position, so the ears would curl around, kinda like a taco shell or something similar in shape Coronation: November 16 02:04 am: facing the front, the ear would curve around where the top of the circle is Coronation: November 16 02:04 am: it's one of those things where maybe it'd be easier to rig up in 3d or something lol KaBob799: November 16 07:34 am: well the tablet arrived but these geniuses wiped the entire hard drive instead of reinstalling windows KaBob799: November 16 07:34 am: I managed to eventually find a usb c adapter so I can try installing windows 10 myself KaBob799: November 16 07:35 am: the amazing news though is that it came with the official keyboard cover KaBob799: November 16 07:37 am: I was just going to use an oversized bluetooth keyboard I had lying around but this is much better because it fits in my lunchbox and has a trackpad KaBob799: November 16 07:39 am: of course once windows is installed I'll need to confirm the 8gb of ram to make sure I got the right model KaBob799: November 16 07:41 am: it's funny, the charger, keyboard and shipping combined are probably worth about what I paid total for the tablet KaBob799: November 16 07:42 am: I guess the other big question is if windows will automatically count as registered or if I need to bug the seller for a key KaBob799: November 16 07:53 am: I think in theory it should just be automatic but it's hard to say who owned this machine previously KaBob799: November 16 08:07 am: my recovery drive was from a year ago so no shock its quite outdated KaBob799: November 16 08:19 am: I didn't feel like updating it when I wasn't even sure it would work lol Coronation: November 17 02:22 am: i just had to buy a charger today, yeah they can be fairly expensive as an add-on Coronation: November 17 02:23 am: been using a car charger cable as a substitute but it's causing issues, it's really not made for how i using it KaBob799: November 18 03:43 am: oooh chatgpt is making a new coding feature that should make it even easier to have AI write my websites lol KaBob799: November 18 03:43 am: sometimes I am tempted to pay for chatgpt plus but I can't really afford it KaBob799: November 18 03:43 am: if I was already making money from the stuff I made from it then it would be different KaBob799: November 18 03:46 am: definitely something to keep an eye on though as something I could possibly do with my tablet Coronation: November 18 11:41 pm: the paid version has more features? i know you mentioned like being time gated for using AI Coronation: November 18 11:42 pm: didn't know there even was a plus, tho i mean it would make sense for a paid version to exist KaBob799: November 19 06:20 am: yeah you can upload files to show the gpt, you get access to DALL-E and etc KaBob799: November 20 07:45 am: so far getting chatgpt help with game maker has been useful but in a very limited manner KaBob799: November 20 07:45 am: it's not good at suggesting the best way to do things, so I need to know the correct method before I ask KaBob799: November 20 07:46 am: and it makes small mistakes much more often than with website design KaBob799: November 20 07:36 pm: managed to shove the new cheap ssd into my wives old computer without having to mount it or anything lol KaBob799: November 20 07:43 pm: honestly that computer is kinda nice to work on, it's too bad its so outdated lol KaBob799: November 20 07:49 pm: but if I upgraded the ram and added a graphics card it might be decent enough for 2010 era gaming Coronation: November 21 06:59 am: wanna do a halloween piece but i've got major artist block, well that motif has never really come easy to me Coronation: November 21 07:13 am: i think my cpu has some ram memory limit going on so i might have to look into it Chatting: Log in to view the chatting list.
