@linusgsebastian @dhananjaya_me can you hire me for a few mins so I can quit for the pr to

@dhananjaya_me At this rate, I should probably IPO, since workforce reductions are so good for the stock 😎

Difficult day at @linusgsebastian 😔💔

@Simon_Hypixel Mesh entity, I want to render a batch of instanced meshes on the client at specific positions item's on transport belts in this case. We have to fallback on faking it with dropped items with various hacks to disable collisions and such and its a mess hyfactory.net

What small features or quality-of-life improvements would you like us to add to Hytale in the short term? I already have a massive list from the in-game feedback button, Discord, Reddit, YouTube, and other social platforms, so we are not running out of things to do! That said, I am curious to see what you think should be the highest priority!

@slikey @Raavex1 PLEASE DEAR GOD PLEASE.

@Raavex1 I imagine you'd benefit a lot from the ability to attach entities to attachment points in models, right? So having the ability to attach the Item to Robotic_Arm_Claw node? If you could tell me how you would like it to work, i'll drop it on our work board :)

Another attempt at trying to get robotic arms to work properly in #Hytale #HytaleModding

@notch make wurm 2 instead.

Honest and legitimate request for feedback for once: The new game I'm passionately working on is currently set to be a traditional roguelike (i.e. ADOM, nethack, etc) mixed with a tile based first person dungeon crawler (ie Legend of Grimrock (esp 2), Eye of the Beholder) But then I gots to thinking that maybe there are people who like my work but might not share my taste in retro nostalgia and would prefer for me to make a spiritual successor thing to Minecraft, and I mean sure, I'd take that cash. So market research. I'd be happy to oblige either, which one would make you happier?

@anneliese2908 @giffgaff They know weve been telling them this for days, check: community.giffgaff.com/d/34213949-pho… Its bonkers,

@giffgaff That’s not really an update though. There’s no time frame or even a guess at a time frame

Any specific update on delayed phones @giffgaff working through the backlog doesn’t help those waiting for phones with no clue when they will be delivered

@OjisanKaichou @itchio @CDawgVA god damn that man, How did he know.

@itchio @CDawgVA was right

This is not a joke, Funko just called my mom

This is the Corvette that Windows zip folders bought. Back in '93 or so, I was working at Microsoft on COM, and at home for fun I started writing a shell extension to browse zip folders in the new Win95 user interface, making them appear as if they were just folders. That grew into a shareware product call VisualZIP. Then one day just before heading into work, I got a call from a lady at Microsoft. She wanted to know if I was the Dave Plummer who wrote VisualZIP, and long story short, they wanted to buy it, and could I come in to talk about it at some point? I said "Sure, what's your office number, I'll stop by!" and it kinda freaked her out. She said "No, no, we'd have to coordinate with travel and legal..." but I was confused as to why I'd need to book travel to talk to someone where I already worked! And THEN I figured it out. She didn't know that I already worked for Microsoft, and I didn't know that she didn't know. So that was a bit awkward. But we worked it out. In the end, my choices were pretty limited - either quit my day job and compete with Microsoft, or do what I wound up doing instead: cheerfully accepting their first, best, and only offer. So that's what I did! I accpepted their offer, paid the taxes on it, and bought a lightly used red 1994 Corvette LT1. There wasn't much left over. So next time you open a zip file on Windows, think of my car :-) If you've ever wondered why the zip support is so slow today, there are two main reasons: first, being 25+ year old code, it's single threaded. It doesn't matter how many CPU cores you have, it only uses one. Second, because of the way the shell used to work, you couldn't just hand it the contents of a file, you had to give it a local file path as the source. So the code first extracts the file to a temporary location, hands that location to the shell, and the shell copies the file. In other words, there's an extra temp copy operation involved in every operation. That *could* be fixed, but I imagine the sense is that anyone who's hardcore about their zip performance or feature set will likely be using 7-Zip or WinRAR, etc. I don't see them improving it any time soon, but they have added more compression formats like RAR to the mix, so you never know. If you enjoy these random nostalgic looks back, follow me for more! And heck, if you made it this far, you might as well share it too :-)

10p a minuite to do your jobs for you. Brilliant. Also. Why do all the scooters massively over estimate range I grabbed one at 25% had it run out 30 seconds down the road. This happens constantly in Norwich. Replqce the batterys please. These ones are fried.

@BerylBikes love your policy to charge the user to push an out of battery scooter to the nearest park because it ran out of battery whilst your app claims it has 15 mins of battery left. it can still track me and make sure I'm not avoiding the out of bay fee if I dont

@Ouren @thos_thom Just get outside of London before making any decisions. The difference between the capital and pretty much any other UK city is night and day.

@thos_thom Maybe lll come visit next year. Planning to stop by NL for fun. I'll come to the UK too since we have 3 people in London

I'm probably going to move to a new city next year. My current town isn't welcoming for locals anymore. I'm looking for: • Dev community • D&D buddies • Housing that isn't 600k+ • Walkable • Friendly to business • Anywhere on Earth Open to suggestions

@ididathing1 Westin seems like a really weird choice for that group. He's a car youtuber isn't he?

If I don't win I'm glitter bombing Mark Robers house

@jonshute Honestly I just 3d print terrain now. Resin prints run cheap enough and are equal in quality to most of what gw produce. I'm down for more new nids however..

@jonshute Thats just games workshop all over tho? recently been getting back into things after years away. Gw has the best models hands down. But the business and costs are terrible. Onepagerules grimdarkfuture and the firefight version. (40k and kill team respectively) is worth a look.

@z_thorben @Explosions_Fire Also UK taco Bell won't be decent. Half the fast food in the UK is terrible compared to same meal abroad the staff mostly give no fucks over here.

@Explosions_Fire you're argument on taco bell is kinda tempting... but not sure if its enought for a 18h drive through 4 countries

@LinusTech Psu tester

new addition to the lab. any guesses on what it's for?

@BerylBikes whats going on in Norwich lately. Nearly every scooter I find is < 10% battery. And starts immediately complaining and threatning a quietly increased £10 charge (wasnt it 5 not long ago). Service is becoming more useless by the day.

@pontmin1 @Kwitie @maryadavy Its ok. South of the border dont want a union either. Can we just get rid of the english electorate and let you lot take over?

@Kwitie @maryadavy How about by not forcing them out of the EU against their will? But you're right, there is little positive support or affection for the union north of the border.

Aye, that should do the trick 😂
