Crossposting because I'm just so damn happy.

I've finally got the bugs worked out of my text-placement algorithm. I believe I can handle arbitrary* widgets now. Also, I figured out how to make animations out of pygame's output, so here's the first 100 frames of a little test I did. It has lots of diagnostic color blotches in there, but you know.

*Provided they are rectangular, so not actually all that arbitrary. I'm pretty sure I could do an actual collision-detection thing with arbitrary shapes, but it would be hella slow and just generally not worth it for anything I've got planned.

Holy cow BF4 is amazing.

Shooting people from the sky, parachuting at attack sites, assaulting a place with 10 other people, shooting down helicopters with weapons meant for tanks, and flying planes upside down while shooting other vehicles (thank you, KSP!) in less than an hour.

BestFriend4?

Am I the only one who took this as meaning Tiruin goes out with her best friends to shoot people and fly aircraft upside down?

Thanks for reminding me of Ace Combat (PS I game and unsure which one?).
Much fun was had flying 'upside-down' and using the gun to score kills instead of missiles.
I dislike that analog stick.

...But such fun.
As in, thanks for hitting me with that nostalgia train. (oooh, that train mission...)

I found another musical act that I like (despite being somewhat hipsterish), Holy Ghost!

I guess it makes sense? I liked some similar/associated groups before, and just found out about these guys.

Saw Interstellar today. Hory cow, that was amazing.

I'm glad 1984 Quest is still as hilarious and balls to the wall crazy as I remember it being.

*highfive*

For a brief, bright moment I misread that and thought that you were talking about Interstella, but then realized that it was just a new film. That said, checking up on it, Interstellar looks pretty nifty itself. Might see it if I get a spare moment this week.

[Spehss _]

I'm feeling oddly positive, I guess. I think. I don't feel miserable or hopeless or godawfully lonely at the moment.

I guess this may be the antidepressants doing stuff. Or it's just the fact that this semester is almost over and there's an imminent 5 day break where I can do whatever I want without stress from college. Or it's both.

Also I've been listening to Japanese pop-rock vocaloids/female singers all day. That's cool too.

Really though, there should be a scientific test to verify whether one can be defined as "happy" or not. Emotions are too vague and undefined to be evidence to accurately define one's emotional status.

I don't mind watching it one more time. Oh yeah. All right.

Also all sorts of other animus, cartoons, and various stuffs.

Without wishing to delve into spoiler territory, I can say that it is probably the only movie I've ever seen where relativity and time dilation are plot points.

Spoiler: possibly minor spoilers (click to show/hide)

And certain scenes are just about heartbreaking because of it.

Yeah, and while most sci-fi movies get a science adviser, then proceed to ignore them because their plot was based on complete tripe... This one feels as if they got a science adviser and said "Hey, tell us a story." and then went from there.

Which is actually an accurate assessment apparently:

Early in the process, Thorne laid down two guidelines: “First, that nothing would violate established physical laws. Second, that all the wild speculations... would spring from science and not from the fertile mind of a screenwriter.”[16] Nolan accepted these terms as long as they did not get in the way of the making of the movie. At one point, Thorne spent two weeks trying to talk Nolan out of an idea about a character traveling faster than light before Nolan finally gave up.

Those certain scenes you mention... They hit you right in the feels, really hard.

Best science fiction of the year, quite possibly one of the best of the decade.

I've been getting mixed messages about the movie lately, and I need to clarify: people are reacting positively to the science in Interstellar, right?

[Arx]

I haven't seen the movie, but I have good reason to believe that the science is pretty close to perfectly hard. Most Bay12ers seem to like it that way.
