    Just declined the renewal of the contract of the job(because I foresee that the situation will probably go from very nice to really tough soon) and ended the current one several days ago, all after working there for 2 years, and I hope that it means I'll have enough time and motivation to work on RMMZ again :)

  2. DoubleX

    Just bought myself a Galax RTX 2060 12GB, and soon I can feel its power :)

    After waiting for several months to observe the results of vaccines, I finally decided to go for Comirnaty, because now my job needs me to either be vaccinated or take a regular testing every 2 weeks(240 HKD per test), and it seems to me that Comirnaty is safe enough in my case :)

      If you start feeling symptoms as seen previously, do not try to let them pass by.
      Intake vitamin C infused food and drink, and flush out the poison that remains. Enough have died after vaccinations, not you too, dammit.

      Maybe I'll die, maybe I won't, just let's see what will happen to me after several weeks :)

    Just read some of my game codes written by myself 4 years ago, and now I don't understand them at all lol

    1. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      I can definitely relate to forgetting things like that.

    2. Kayzee

      I don't find that to be much of a problem myself. :3

       

      Edit: Which is good given how much I slack on working on my game. Some parts of the code probably are 4+ years old!

    Finally!

    Just made 3 easy, simple and small MZ plugins today(12 hours straight), and I never thought I could ever do this.
    Now I feel myself being very productive, even though I know I'm just utterly flattering myself lol

      PhoenixSoul

      Well, hot damn, look at you! lolz

      @DoubleX that's no accomplishment to scoff at! I remember making my first few plugins, I was on top of the world! Keep learning and practicing, and you'll stay feeling that way! Keep pushing the envelope and making more cool things ^^

    This game seems to be very promising:

      Looks similar to Battletech and the like. Kinda neat.

    Very few games can make me cry, and this is one of them:

      Lots of games could make me cry if I let them. It doesn't need fancy graphics or anything...  Heck I think one of the best game endings is in Minecraft. Or maybe I am just a sucker for that kind of philosophical psychedelic paratextual poetry. Yeah it's probably pretty pandering, but it pleases my palate. :3

    3. Capt_Elfimis

      Theres a few that have brought me to tears, the best one for me though is the ending of Horizon Zero Dawn, absolutely amazingly emotional.

    4. PhoenixSoul

      When I finally got to the ending of Guitar Hero: Smash Hits/Greatest Hits, definitely had those feels. Oh, and yeah; YYZ on Expert Bass was really F*CKING HARD to pass. That was the final encore song to play. I definitely relied entirely on Star Power to get me through.

      Final Encore Songs in GHSH:
      Guitar: Extreme-Play With Me (GH80's)
      Bass: Rush-YYZ (GHII) (X+)
      Vocals: Queen-Killer Queen (GH)
      Drums: SLAYER-Raining Blood (GHIII) (X+)
      Band: Avenged Sevenfold-Beast and the Harlot (GHII) (X+)

      Here: let me show you the ending, since I'm probably the only rhythm gamer here #LMAO:
      (it's all cutscenes but it's likely the last one-they're all short)

    Just found this:
    https://www.autohotkey.com/
    I wonder if any programmer will be interested to that :)

    1. Kayzee

      Kayzee

      I've vaguely known about it for years, but haven't actually done anything with it till recently when I used it too add hotkeys for the mouse wheel since my laptop doesn't have one. Sure I think there are touchpad gestures for it, but I can't stand touchpad gestures.

  10. DoubleX

    I just have an idea on combining DDR played with keyboard, and typing speed exercise.
    Basically, you need to type a document in English, but each character's typed with the timing in sync with the music used.
    Maybe with the aid of fast paced music, one's typing speed can reach unprecedented levels :)
    I'm gonna make a proof of concept when I've tons of free time :D

    1. Kayzee

      Kayzee

       That sounds like it would be crazy difficult (unless maybe if the player is allowed to skip beats between words). I donno about anyone else, but I rarely if ever hear anyone type with any kind of steady rythem. It just seems to take longer to do the mental rejiggering between words then it does to type any given word.

       

      Also,  while we are on the subject of speed typing, is it just me or is speed typing is a sort of overrated skill? Unless you are taking direct dictation I guess. In my experience all but the slowest of typists can type fast enough that they are going to run out of things to type long before they are done processing what they should type next. Maybe it's just me, but whenever I reply to something I often find myself staring at the screen for minutes without typing a word because I am too busy thinking about what exactly I am saying. Even if I am just reading something and typing it down word for word I keep having to look back and forth anyway and my memory is much slower then my typing speed. And I don't even home row, just pick! I think I am pretty fast for a picker though.

    2. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      There's already an Initial D speed typing game that does this. LGR covered this a while back.

      By the by, home row typists have rheumatoid arthritis now.

       

    3. DoubleX

      DoubleX

      @PhoenixSoulI've checked that game and I don't think that's what I'm thinking, and I think I've to make that proof of concept to really elaborate my idea :)

  11. DoubleX

    It seems to me that I'm too lazy to make new MZ plugins with my full time job, so I'm porting my easy, simple and small MV plugins instead.
    I hope I can port 1-2 such plugins per day, but this will be hard for me :)

    1. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      Don't break your creative drive over it.
      If shit gets frustrating, take a break.

  12. DoubleX

    I just like this website:

      Remember that browser malware that would redirect all web browsing to a fake Yahoo site?

      Probably that one. Ugh, I hated dealing with it.

      At the very bottom of the RAM page it says that it's a joke website & not a scam.

  13. DoubleX

    Before the full time job, I can make 1 MZ plugin per day, even though it's still hard; With the full time job, making 1 such plugin per week becomes just as hard lol

    1. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      If I ever had a full-time job, I'd have no energy for anything else, I'm certain.

      (likely because I'd have a job that drained me and one I didn't like in any way shape or form)

    2. Rikifive

      Rikifive

      Can relate, my full time job drastically slowed everything I'm working on. sad times ;-;

  14. DoubleX

    Just watching an hour of some LP of CoD MW(2019), and I'm already liking that game, sadly my PC won't be able to play it :)

    1. Kayzee

      Hey, don't say you like a cod game! You will lose your indie cred! You do get some points for being unable to run it though.

    2. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      lolz

      Even if I were interested (nope! Not remotely! lolz), there's no way my craptastic hardware could run such a game; I don't think it could run Halo even! 🤣

      Warduty 3000, lolz

    Just uploaded a RMMV plugin video in youtube, and realized that RPG Maker MV is no longer in the list of game names there lol

    1. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      In other words, YouTube is being YouTube as usual, #LMAO

  16. DoubleX

    As I've written several easy, simple and small RMMZ plugins, I feel that I'm familiar with RMMZ plugin development. With the fact that I'm going to report duty for my full time job from tomorrow, I think I've to go back to finish my RMMV plugins, and I'd expect that to last several weeks or even months :)

    1. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      Just don't let the day job destroy your creative drive...

       

  17. DoubleX

    Just given a positive rating on Steam, even though my feeling on MZ's somehow mixed, and my positive just slightly wins over my negative(but I still believes that MZ will get better and better over time) :)

    image.gif

    1. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      The rating system is archaic and not very good.

      I actually have reviews I'd prefer to have as 'Neutral' if it were possible.

    2. Kayzee

      Kayzee

      What have you done?! You fool! By leaving a positive review you are just encouraging complacency! Don't you see? Without negative reviews to get them to improve, why would they make it any better! :P

       

      Also: You can have a neutral review. All you have to do is not make a review at all! What's that? It's not the same because you can still write something? Silly, no one important actually ever reads reviews, they just pay attention to the score. :P

  18. DoubleX

    Tried to use ES6 Map to store some battler properties, and while it's nice by accepting anything as key(and MDN claims that ES6 Map's faster as well), those properties are all gone upon load, due to Map not being serializable upon save. Now I just feel dumb on one hand, and hope that I'll be the only stupid noob making this beginner mistake on the other :)

      DoubleX

      Actually I've entirely forgotten the need of being serializable, and only realized it after facing issues with saving games lol

    3. Kayzee

      Kayzee

      I think a lot of people forget about it. :3

    4. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      Maybe people need to see this and not go the route you did...

    Just accepted a full time job offer after being jobless for so long :)
    But it'd also mean I won't have much time to work with MV or MZ :(

    1. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      At least it is something. Good on ya, and bonne chance.

  20. DoubleX

    Just checked the reactions to MZ on Steam and it seems to me that it's mixed in both reviews(right now 98 reviews with 63% being positive) and discussions.
    On the other hand, MV got about 80% positive reviews upon launch(108 positive and 27 negative), and now MV is rated as very positive(91% positive with 3515 reviews), so it seems to me that it'd be hard for MZ to be ever rated as overwhelming positive :(

    image.gif

    1. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      Heh. Likely because most see it as 'MV Ace', which from what I've seen, it is not.

      Of course, until I am able to experience it firsthand, I know not whether it holds up.

      Of course, I will still have a bias towards certain functionality.

  21. DoubleX

    Just checked the VisuStella MZ plugins again and there are already 22(or 23) or them, as if MZ's already released(so I don't know how they can be this effective/efficient). It seems to me that those guys are really burning their lives to let us use tons of plugins one day 1 :)

    1. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      That's if they work...lolz

  22. DoubleX

    I've just checked the VisuStella Plugins for MZ and there are already 11 plugins. The Yanfly team(perhaps a big one?) really works so effectively and efficiently that some MZ users can likely use tons of Yanfly plugins right after MZ's released (still 13 days from now). I wonder if any other plugin developer(or team) will try to compete with Yanfly this time, no matter how slim the chance to win is :)

  23. DoubleX

    I'm slightly disappointed that the MZ codebase still uses core.js, managers.js, objects.js, scenes.js, sprites.js and windows.js instead of core/Bitmap.js, core/Graphics.js, managers/AudioManager.js, managers/DataManager.js, etc...

    1. PhoenixSoul

      Remember back in XP how Game_Interpreter was split into seven entries?

      Yes; bring that back, si'l vous plait.

    2. DoubleX

      I think breaking each class into a single file is a good enough balance between having too many files and having some files being too big 🙂

    3. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      Exactly my point. Having 1,400+ lines of code broken up into smaller chunks makes more sense for those that need to find something but are not fond of text walls.

      RM should have a better script editor too, but that's out of scope.

  24. DoubleX

    There's a confirmed case of Covid-19 who lives in the same building as mine, but fortunately I've been staying at home all the time for more than a week already, even though I might be ordered to enter a quarantine center any time soon...

    1. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      I hope you're armed...

      Don't surrender your freedom for security...

      May the Divines guide you...and us all...

  25. DoubleX

    Just tried to access my pastebin, then cloudflare said the pastebin website has been flagged as phishing, so I guess many of my plugin download links are broken...

    1. DoubleX

      DoubleX

      Now I can just access pastebin again(I just have to login again), so maybe cloudflare had just wrongly flagged pastebin as phishing?

    2. PhoenixSoul

      PhoenixSoul

      Sounds more like an internal error, but that's just a guess.

      Still, that's garbage, regardless...

    3. Kayzee

      Kayzee

      Sometimes pages just get flagged for things temporarily while something is under investigation. Sometimes it's a mistake sure, but sometimes it's because of things like an external ad injecting a script somewhere and/or the site being hacked. That kind of thing can happen and otherwise safe sites can unknowingly be used that way.
