Status update: The Geforce Now counter switched from ridiculously bad time estimates (I guess play sessions are longer than usual ATM, which absolutely nobody could have predicted) to number of people ahead of you in the queue.
The counter is going down pretty quickly, so I guess I'll soon be doing the exact same thing on someone else's PC. And most importantly, an RTX graphics card I didn't have to pay for.

I’d joke that at least SMB35 doesn’t need some deep learning ray tracing garbage (DLRTGTM), but then Nintendo can’t figure out how to connect wireless controllers...
-
@topspin At least the Pro controller isn't quite as bad as the Joy Cons.
-
Status: 2077 is the first game I've seen where it's actively beneficial to switch back and forth between controller and keyboard+mouse, the former especially for driving and the latter for shooting. Even though it triggers an irritating bug with control prompting.

@Gąska Just come to Lancaster county and join an Amish sect. You can churn butter once or twice, livin' in an Amish paradise...

Coming to theaters in 2021:
: Okay, we're ready to process your "REAL ID" driver's license application. Do you have your primary proof of identity?
: Birth certificate.
: And your secondary proof of identity?
: Passport.
: Social security?
: Social security card.
: All right. Proof of legal presence?
: ... Pezzpurt?
: No, you already used that.
: Well, it's nearly a decade old at this point, but, draft card?
: That'll work. Proof of residency?
: Voter registration card.
: Okay, one last one. Secondary proof of residency?
: So, what might that look like?
: Something like a bank statement, credit card bill, utility bill, ... anything?
: uhhhhhhh...
: Processed check? Payroll stub? Report card?

@TwelveBaud Good Lord, I'm only one lost driver's license away from becoming an unperson.

@TwelveBaud what do you need real ID for if you have a passport?

Yeah, waiting in line, like for bread in 1983, every time I want to play a game, is the feature I miss the most in my RTX.

Initially I thought you've had a 3000 series, but then you mentioned not waiting in line...

Hm, I guess my first example is ambiguous, since the cheeks could be inverted.
But I'll write the validator to accept any solution that satisfies the constraints (actually, I'll generate constraints from the puzzle and the proposed solution and see if they match).

@Gąska said in The Official Status Thread:
@TwelveBaud what do you need real ID for if you have a passport?
That's what I decided when the next available appointment was like 6 months after the date my DL expired.
-
@Gąska It's not expired yet because of when I got it, but it's not considered "REAL ID" compliant for some reason.

@TwelveBaud said in The Official Status Thread:

Oh yeah. I think they added something to it fairly recently. I just renewed mine a couple years ago, so I'm pretty sure mine's compliant. (Or I'm going to get a nasty surprise next time I fly...)

I've used the service before and in the paid tier, I've never waited more than a few seconds so far. Either I've been very lucky until now or the Cyberpunk release is an exception.

Future game. You figure out which boxes are shaded by the hints. It tells you how many groups of squares are shaded in each row/column. Solve, similar to Sudoku.
-
@error Cool.
-
Once again, having to resort to stupid compression tricks to get the base64 encoded SVG size in under the TDWTF post size limit, since AFAIK the forum still completely destroys uploaded SVG attachments.
-
I didn't think I'd be able to get all the visual elements in under the limit, but 15x15 seems OK. I want 25x25 though.

Status: The desk I bought online came with a huge ass crack on the top across the entire width, right in the middle. I'm so pissed off right now.
Status: Requested replacement parts for my desk. A desk is just 4 planks joined together. I need 2 of them. I described exactly which ones I need. I made photos. I even used the part letters used in assembly guide to make sure they don't get confused. And yet, 2 days later I learn that they stalled the order because they don't know which parts to send. And no, they didn't notify me. They apparently assumed the situation is going to magically resolve on its own, or something. The only reason I learned about it is because I have assumed right from the start that they're utter morons and there are going to be problems, and contacted customer service myself less than 48 hours after making the replacement order. Behind every fucking together.

I can go up to 20x15 but any larger and it doesn't fit.

It's just too bad base64 is the only supported encoding extension. Something like lzstring would help quite a bit I think...

I think this render looks OK. Feel free to make improvements:

Coordinate ranges will work the same as Minesweeper. Verbs will be fill/clear/mark instead of flag/reveal/unflag.

I think I only get that with the upgraded account - one know, the one where you're not allowed to have the daily balance fall below 10K or they'll charge you 25/mo. (or whatever) I'm on the cheapy plan, so it's 'pay for anything you want'.
