Nice.
Are you planning on desaturating the trees' colors based on Z for the depth effect, or are you planning on creating entirely different assets?

I have pondered applying atmospheric scattering to objects, dependent on the not-yet-existant sunâs altitude⌠I doubt thereâd be anything visible amongst the depth of the trees, though.
But there will* be mountains and other layers of stuff. Also hopefully some scaling and/or vertical positioning to make the trees not all cut off at the exact same height. And more sprites in general canât hurt.

Did you know they don't accept Visa in most stores in Amsterdam? So after I lost my wallet, my only payment method - NFC on a phone linked to Visa - is nearly useless.

Your money problems are about to get solved. But the videos will haunt you for years.

Status: Bianca won't be my tour guide today. I met a German guy in a coffee shop. He said every Bianca he knows is crazy in the head.

@Gustav Crazy in the head - so what? Enjoy other kinds of fun with her!

Status: Bianca called me after all. But it's too late now. My flight is in 3h. Until next time.

Good luck with the cavity search

@izzion it was a half-assed search, so to speak.

Status: Lost my wallet somewhere between Warsaw and Amsterdam.
Weird. This morning, I woke up from a dream where someone had dropped their wallet in my backyard. I woke up just as I was yelling "what where you doing in my yard?!?".

That's too bad, but at least your day can only get better after that.

Lost and Found will NOT send the wallet home. I have to make all the arrangements myself. Motherfuckers.

Damn, not even a "fuck you, pay me!" option? Disappoint.

@Zerosquare The kitten earns your attention by acting cute. The computer steals your attention by being an asshole.

You're right about computers. Cats, however, are very good at both. Could be even at the same time.

Status: CAPTCHA prompt was "select all squares with motorcycles". The photo had a couple of these things:
I selected no squares and I passed.

@Gustav Looks (more or less) like a scooter to me.

Status: My session has completely locked up.
Yep, the session is blocked by its parent. Proof that children should be detachable from their parents I guess...

I had a coworker who had the opposite view. He summarized it with a very QooC-able line:
Parents should watch their children die.

Parents should kill their children before they die and ensure it happens, yes. Unless said child is detached and its own self.

Duh. Killing them afterwards would be too late.

Wooden table spotted in the wild.
(a friend was "forwarding" a picture to our Messenger group - that's a picture of portable horse stalls that was blown over by the recent CA storms)

@dcon they could at least have taken the photo in landscape

That just adds bonus points to the wooden table theme.

@Gustav those are called fag sled in Swedish. Well... Not proper Swedish, but biker Swedish.

Status 1: Christmas tree is undecorated and put out for disposal tomorrow.
Status 2: Sneezing like crazy. I'm guessing it's probably dust stirred up by vacuuming the fallen needles. Or it could be a cold, and the timing is just a coincidence.
Status 3: 20:53, in bed very early, but my eyes are simply refusing to stay open. It's difficult to play video games with my eyes closed.

I don't know about that. We've seen code that looks like it was created that way.

*reboots @HardwareGeek*
Man, those fans are dusty. Someone should clean them.
-
@Zerosquare careful with the reboots, we want to be sure he boots back up again.

A warm reboot should be OK. But I wouldn't do a power cycle, that's for sure.

Status 7: 07:23, Sunrise in <7 minutes, and I still haven't gotten back to sleep. Feel very fatigued, but not sleepy enough to actually fall asleep.

Hmm, sounds like we have an ACPI problem here.
