I Had To Hack Into NTAUTHORITY in the Name of Socially Distant...
This is the story of the worst pain I have ever suffered trying to get GitLab Pipelines to work on a local Windows VM. It's a story of hardship, null-checks, and why I needed to privilege-escalate as NTAUTHORITY\SYSTEM just to add a very specific registry key. Isn't game development fun? :)

Rider's Debugger Is Frustrating Me... Please help... D:

Anyone know what's causing Socially Distant's framereate to absolutely die, even when built for release, when Rider's debugger is attached? Because I don't.

This is some heavy sheet.
PS3 oh no it’s coming the playst
Oh no
this sounds like an airplane taking off. or like a supercomputer start up I think that it makes perfect sense.
I think it's not zoomed in enough, I couldn't see the atoms clearly.
Lol
I would love to rectify this issue. But as of Plasma 6.1, you can only zoom in to the molecular level. If you want atoms, ya gotta go back to 6.0.
my ears!
The downside of C#: cross-platform on paper, usually Windows-only in practice. 5:25 😂
Becoming SYSTEM on a Windows machine as an Administrator is pretty easy - I've done it accidentally in the past
username checks out 😂 I used to do it with psexec, it's pretty easy.
Tv titan 😮
very good tip: turn up the volume to max and put your ears to your phone speaker
s****horpe
Time to debug the debugger...
This was a weird era
wow fancy seeing anyone here
In an ALT universe I would have Xbox instead of PS
It sounds a lil bit creepey but also good
Interesting video, thanks for the showcase. I would suggest getting to the point a bit faster. (Also the scaling thing is a bit nauseating, maybe use a bigger font size and stop the zooming? )
I cannot get the font size large enough for me to be able to see it, that's why I'm zooming in.
It looks like TV Man's red light sound
now to change all the strings to "LETS GOOOO"
now all you need to do is learn how patch files work and you're good :)
we now need jia tan to contribute some code
Nah. I'm a BDFL. Code doesn't go in the game unless every single byte of it has my blessing. <3
I can now pretend to understand it
Good
LET'S GOOOOO
LET'S GNOOOOOOOOOME <3
I think the current state of AI art ownership is that it has no copyright, because only human creations can be copyrighted. But some people are not sure about this, and it's being tested in court.
About funding, here's what I think: You can develop the project as far as possible, and then, instead of waiting for funding, you can partner with audio and graphic designers to finish the assets, and you launch the game with them as partners, sharing the revenue. This way, everybody wins and the game gets finished. If they buy into the idea and believe it is viable, then it can work out.
And it is much more attractive to other game developers to enter in a project that's already quite advanced, has a unique proposal and requires little effort for them (mainly assets). So don't be disencouraged, things can and will work out.
@@softwarelivre2389 This is all contingent on me knowing people who can and are willing to do it. I don't.
@@acidiclight you don't yet. If you look for them, you'll find them. Generally on game jams and even on CZcams.
Why don't you write your own version of Bejewed in C or Rust? That'd be a small break from Socially Distant and would renew your energies, and you'd practice something that isn't C#.
I've been doing .NET for as long as I've been programming. I know C and C++ already, I don't have interest in learning Rust at all (C# does everything Rust can that I need it to do, and is perfectly fine for memory safety). Problem with writing a Bejeweled clone is it'd be a Bejeweled clone, and thus I can't sell it. That'd be plagiarism.
@@acidiclight C# does not do everything Rust can, that's just wrong. I didn't say clone. Candy Crush makes millions, right?
@@softwarelivre2389 I said that it can do everything that Rust can *that I need it to be able to do.* There are many parts of Rust I just don't need. Borrow checker's one of them. As far as clone vs. alike, I'm not confident I could add my own twist to the Bejeweled formula without it being taxing in the art department, audio or visual. Gameplay wise, PopCap's already thought of everything I can in Bejeweled 3.
It's hard to provide any good advice on this, it's outside my realm as well
woah its ritchie
yes it's ritchie
It makes me wonder if there is some way the game could be improved for people with impaired vision, but I don't know what could be done in that regard. If we think of minesweeper as well, for example, what can we do to improve it?
To be fair I wouldn't play any better either. Maybe I have to try it zoomed in.
There is a trick to it. I did another playthrough right after uploading this and I'm at level 6. Basically you have to match higher up in the board, try to make matches that cause other matches to be possible, and become emotionally attached to hypercubes (do not use them unless you ABSOLUTELY have to)
One other thing I noticed: if you do need to use a hypercube, try to match two of them together. It clears the entire board, and you get the two hypercubes back.
I'd like something like this and have a voice saying comments to me when they appear because I only have one monitor and am often in full screen playing a game when streaming. I get in the flow state so I often read comments way to late. I don't know how I would manage an overlay for YT chat on my DWM build. If I used Streamlabs, it'd probably work but I like FFMpeg too much to let it go lmao. Great work on this!
VICTORTRAN FROM OS FIRST TIMER
this is an ancient video, please return to the current decade
I think this was happening to me a few days ago -- when triggering "Present windows" it would just freeze solid for a couple of seconds until I hit escape about a million times in frustration. Lasted for a couple of hours and then just went away. [edit] Not sure now -- from the description here it seems like it shouldn't just fix itself. My ~/ is mounted on a crypt partition though, so I can imagine it bottlenecking if KWin is absolutely hammering disk I/O in that cache dir.
The combination of the video subject and his extremely nerdy voice is funnier than it should be to me
That's interesting. I have a similar issue on my Linux system running Mint and Xorg. But for me the whole display blinks black xD I need to move the cursor or even better some windows (update many pixels) for it to stop flashing. Most often it happens after returning from sleep state but not always and sometimes just randomly during use. And as for you it doesn't happen on Windows, so I'd rule out hardware issues ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
occahional white flahes across the screen
That's the shader doin' it's thing :P
Are you sure your GPU isn't dying lol?
It's brand new, and those flashes only happen on Xorg. Not on Wayland or Windows.
Thanks, I hate it
Thanks, I hated writing the HLSL :) In all seriousness, if it is an effect you genuinely don't like then it'll be toggleable in System Settings -> Graphics -> Desktop Effects -> Glitch Bands.
12:50 what if it is gray #888?
Nice effect btw
Uhhhhhhhh.....Shit. Didn't think of that.
3:41 Sorts by modification time, tries to find a directory by name
Fun fact recording fixes 90% of bugs, this is why Microsoft wants to use AI to spy on you now
This brings to my attention the need for a highly-customizable and accessible terminal emulator for Linux / Windows...
you are insane for using that scaling, I fullscreened the video on 32" and it is still way too small
That's why I zoom in. If I were to scale up the screen itself, it'd offer me no benefit whatsoever as I'd need to scale up to 2000% (not hundred, thousand) to even remotely be able to read. I'd then have no room to do anything.
8:52 work/24.05 is yellow, as in the code, your theme doesn't change it 15:13 I'd do git reset --hard to reset both the current and branch commit, and the working directory state to the last commit. But I always have to open the man page to know mixed and soft reset. 16:55 Add the `-n` switch to `git remote show` to use cached data only instead of refreshing it from the network. "(edited)" because I was adding lines with timestamps as I was watching the video.
No matter where I put the '-n' switch, it just gives me some kind of syntax error D:
Ritchie
0:12 Oh my God 😨
Every once in a while I get weird slowdowns, so thanks for pointing out another possible reason. I'll try deleting kwin's cache and see if that eliminates it. I only within the last year or so moved to Slackware 15 from 14.2+{tons of hacks}, and I found that a weird scrolling bug from konsole got fixed finally. So maybe I should update more than once every decade.
deleting the cache won't help. the QML bytecode for the effects is stored there and will always be there when they are loaded. You'll have to move it to an SSD or if you don't have one to ramdisk. the good news here is .cache/kwin/qmlcache is small! on my system <1MB
I own HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless, and I've been planning to write my own HID driver too XD Maybe, I should begin right now?
This is your sign to start it up!
Tbf I just pasted the commands from a quick web search on how to reload udev rules under the last video. I didn't test it, but I used similar commands in the past.
