#KB Chronicles

[einsteinsugly]

Hey Megan, I have a question for you.

If you had written season 8 of T7S (and the entirety of That 90s Show), what would you have done?

Season 8:

Donna: Goes back to being a redhead. Applies to UW Milwaukee, but is in community college in the meantime. She starts interning for the Point Place Chronicle, while still doing WFPP sometimes. She deals with a nightmare boss. She and Eric are still together, obviously.

Eric: He's about the same, minus breaking up with Donna and he doesn't get shit on all the time. He gets kicked out of the program, after questioning apartheid. He and Donna now plan to go to UW Milwaukee together.

Fez: Laurie is his new roommate, and it's revealed they never really divorced. They both go to cosmetology school, and hijinks ensue. Fez, slowly but surely, returns to his season 4 self.

Hyde: He and Jackie reconcile, and at some point, they get engaged. Hyde wants to wait for a wedding. Jackie is impatient. He still lives with the Formans, but he's about to move out with Jackie. He and Jackie are going to move to Milwaukee together. Kitty suffers with imminent empty nest syndrome.

Jackie: Also applies to UW Milwaukee, and is in community college in the meantime. She and Donna are studying journalism together. She still has a disastrous internship (this time) with Christine St George, and she tries to come to terms with essentially wasting her semester. But she wants to continue, as someone who is way better than Christine St George.

Kelso: He's about the same, but he's a cop, and he and Brooke officially get together.

That 00s Show: With no irl constraints, obv.

It'll take place in the early-mid 00s, when the gang's gang are most likely to be teens. Y2k nostalgia is definitely more prominent, atm, anyway. Anywho.

Eric and Donna live next door to Jackie and Hyde, in Chicago. ED, JH, and the kids are the main focus, as well as KB's son Jay (16).

Eric is a history teacher, ala Mr Feeny, at the school where the kids attend. ED's eldest kid is constantly humiliated. Donna works for the Chicago Sun Times.

Eric and Donna have two daughters (16 and 12), one of which is a tween and is the Matt McGuire nuisance type. The tween crushes on the older Hyde boy. The older ED daughter has been best friends with JH's daughter for the longest time, but she doesn't like Jay, and they're beginning to drift apart.

*****

Jackie has her own TV show, and Hyde owns a Grooves. Grooves, like The Hub, is a default hang out spot for the kids. Hyde imparts his wisdom, sometimes.

Jackie and Hyde have a daughter (16) and a son (14). The daughter is interested in Jay, and Hyde is overprotective and annoyed.

So, the gang includes...

Jay Kelso. Jackie and Hyde's son and daughter, William "Will" and Sarah. Eric and Donna's older daughter Alexandra "Allie." Fez and Rhonda's LGBTQ son Julian (15), and his black boyfriend Tony (15). Plus, there's ED's daughter Lucy on the fringes.

It's not that far off from my verse, obviously. I just had to do some things to make it less drama-filled and more comedic. Aka, omit Laurie and her brood, and the seriously troubling behavior of my OC Leah (ED's younger daughter).

Why I don't like Unity

There's three reasons, basically, besides my personal inability to get any custom character assets into Unity, Unreal, or Godot.

Let me tell you below the readmore.

Reason #1: it managed to fucking bluescreen my system just trying to start.

How do you fuck that up? I download an installer and run it. This gives me a launcher. From there, I'm supposed to install the actual product I wanted to begin with. That's bad enough, to be honest. But then the fucking launcher managed to break so badly, I had my first BSOD in several months. With all I do to my poor laptops, I so very rarely got crashes like that it honestly threw me the fuck off.

If the launcher is gonna play like that, forget about installing the actual product.

Reason #2: CPU pegging up the ass.

On my previous laptop, attempting to run basically any Unity-based game would peg the CPU, all cores, until the poor thing ran so hot within mere minutes, it'd commit preventative sudoku. Maybe if I was lucky, I'd get a chance to set all the things to "lowest", and that might let me, I dunno, play long enough to get through the goddamn tutorial?

And I'm not even talking about state-of-the-art 3D games, but simple 2D games with low-resolution pixel art. Why would those run a dual-core at 200% until it fucking kills itself? Makes no sense.

Now, Phil Fortier of Icefall Games is an acquaintance of mine via SCI shenanigans, and when he released Snow Spirit (soon to be rereleased as part of Chronicles of Cascadia), I lamented to him about how his use of Unity would mean I couldn't run any of his stuff. So Phil looked into it and found a Big Fucking Thing to optimize. This basically makes Phil's SCI games the only things made in Unity that I can personally trust won't Do That.

Reason #3: About those 2D games...

I'm gonna dip into my Twitter archives for a bit and repost some stuff for this part.

*wavy flashback effect*

This is Angel Jump, a simple little arcade jumping game that's available on itch.io:

It's delightfully low resolution and has like four seconds of audio all added up. Can't be more than a few MB, depending on which sane development framework they used, right?

33 MB, actually. Because Unity. Let's see how it breaks down:

Unity main exe: 623 KB

Main game assets file: 1.19 MB together

A folder full of support DLLs like terrain and cloth: 7.17 MB, 90% or more of them never called because this is a 2D pixel-art game.

Unity's default resources: 3.41 MB. Mind that of these, only the splash logo is actually used because Angel Jump was made in the free edition.

Mono embedded runtime: 2.61 MB, and each game gets its own copy, much like how Electron apps each have their own copies of Chromium.

And another 17 MB for the Unity Player.

All in all, 33 MB of files for a game like that. Why? Because Unity is a bloated crapsack, I'd conclude from a cursory study like that. Let's compare that to some other games.

This is Elevator Girl, which is not on itch.io.

It has a lot of different animations and three fairly long background music tracks. It's only one file, 18.7 MB. I'm willing to bet most of that is the BGM, but I can't confirm it because it's just the one file.

And just for some historical perspective, the entire Crystal Caves trilogy is 1.31 MB, including some chaff. Commander Keen 4 on its own is 740 KB. Now, Keen and Elevator Girl both have OPL soundtracks, but the latter's is probably streamed.

Noxico is only 1.25 MB to download as a .7z file. Its only optimization that I myself actively apply is that I crunch the PNG files. The rest is text, and since the game uses a .zip file by another name as a game data source... yeah. That's a cheap win.

Now, back to Angel Jump. I went through the game's own resources to see what size it could conceivably have if it was not made in Unity. 54 textures, ten of them actually used. Tiny font stored in a weird way, possibly for distance field trickery which has no business in a 2D pixel game if you ask me. 921 KB of WAV files, high-quality bleepity-bloops, two of them jingles. 4.22 KB of PNG files, crunched like Noxico, for all but the creator's logo and the font. 973 KB for a copy of SDL, and I'd estimate at worst two MB for the main EXE.

The entire Angel Jump game could be no more than 4 MB and a half-dozen files, It's actually 33.2 MB, 92 files.

There's a more general computer programming issue that this reliance on Unity for even the simplest, smallest games seems to spring from: the bigger and better the computers get, the more lazy the developers get. Only have like four MHz, 640 KB of RAM and, what, 720 KB of diskette space, and no guarantee of an HDD? Better make the most of it, developers! But now the pressure's off and there's no more reason to exert any effort into keeping small games actually small.

*sigh*

Mit olvastam a télen II.

Annyi mindent olvastam a télen, hogy inkább két részre bontottam. Szóval ezeket olvastam január második felétől kb. :

Matt Haig: Éjfél könyvtár

Karácsonyra kaptam, magamtól nem került volna a kezembe, de szórakoztató volt. Nem tudom, hogy jó könyvnek tartom e. Egyrészről olvasmányos volt és érdekes, csomó egész progresszív üzenettel. Másrészről ugyanaz a bajom vele, mint az Everything Everywhere All At Once filmmel, hogy egyrészt nagyon felszínes, másrészt hazugság, hogy csak a döntéseinken múlik, hogy mi lesz belőlünk. Csomó lehetőséghez nagyon jó helyre kell születni. Azt se hinném, hogy reális, hogy a főszereplőnő annyira tehetséges, hogy lehetett volna belőle olimpiai bajnok, világhírű énekes és sarkkutató is.

Ursula K. Le Guin: A megtalált és elveszett I.

Írtam róla korábban is, mert még az ősszel kezdtem el, de januárban fejeztem be. Nekem az első novellák, pl. a Buffalo lányai… is tetszettek, pedig sokan panaszkodnak rá, hogy nem erre számítottak a szerzőtől. Az I. kötet második felében a Haini ciklus novellái vannak, ez már megszokottabb stílus. A segrik ügyét emelném ki, mert az a legjobb és legreálisabb nőuralmas scifi amit valaha olvastam. Figyelembe veszi a biológiai különbségeket is és reálisan nyomasztó világot alkot.

Az első kötet utolsó történetei a Werel bolygón játszódó rabszolgafelszabadításos scifik és összefüggnek. Ezeket nagyon szerettem. Legjobban az Egy nő felszabadulása tetszett. Ez a kisregény kiválóan bemutatja, hogy mi történik a nőkkel a forradalomban, vagyis hogy ugyanannyit kockáztatnak, és ugyanúgy áldozatot hoznak, mint a férfiak, de kevesebbet nyernek vele, mert az új berendezkedés is el fogja nyomni őket. Ilyen szempontból nagyon jó tanmese is.

Ursula K. Le Guin: A megtalált és elveszett II.

Szintén novellák és egy kisregény. A novellákat igazából most nem olvastam el, mert már ismertem őket az Óceánföld meséiből.  Szóval ebből csak az Elveszett paradicsomok című kisregényt olvastam, ami egy baromi jó űrutazós scifi. Szerintem nagyon reálisan ábrázolta az évtizedekig tartó űrutazás társadalmi hatásait és a valláskritikával is tudtam azonosulni.

Ilona Andrews: Clean Sweep

Ilona Andrews: Sweep in Peace

Ilona Andrews: One Fell Sweep

Az Innkeeper Chronicles első három kötete. Minőségi urban fantasy vámpírokkal, vérfarkassokkal, alienekkel, fordulatos cselekménnyel. Imádom, nagyon olvastatja magát. Az One Fell Sweep végén egészen meghatódtam és bőgtem, pedig ezt pont nem várnám ettől a műfajtól.

Annie Erneux: Évek

Ez szintén egy baromi jó könyv, de valószínűszeg még jobban élveztem volna, ha jobban értenék a francia politikához. Még szerencse, hogy Jókain edződtem, mert így úgy is tudtam élvezni, hogy alig valamelyik politikusról vagy francia televíziós személyiségről tudtam, hogy kicsoda. Egy nő életét meséli el, úgy hogy közben a 40-estől az 2000-es évekig tartó időszak politikai eseményeiről és társadalmi változásairól is ír. Ilyen szempontból nekem Marilyn French: Nők (The Women’s Room)-ére hasonlít, csak ott külön fejezetben volt a korrajz és a cselekmény, itt meg egymásra úszik. Nagyon érdekes könyv, szerettem olvasni még úgy is, hogy néha nem volt egyszerű.

 A felénél tartok:

Ilona Andrews: Sweep of the Blade

Szintén Innkerper Chronicles, csak ebben a kötetben más a főszereplő és sokkal vámpírosabb, mint az eddigiek. Izgi, de már visszatérnék Dinához és az Inn-hez.

Price: [price_with_discount] (as of [price_update_date] - Details) [ad_1] With the advent of sound, Hindi songs acquired a grammar of their own, thanks to the introduction of songs as a part of the narrative - a tradition that is unique to Hindi cinema. This gave rise to a class of professionals who acquired a star status that was in the league of the actors themselves - the lyricists. Rajiv Vijayakar's book chronicles the journeys of leading film lyricists - from D.N. Madhok and Pandit Pradeep to Amitabh Bhattacharya and Irshad Kamil, including stalwarts like Shakeel Badayuni and Sahir Ludhianvi, Majrooh Sultanpuri and Anand Bakshi, Gulzar and Javed Akhtar - who have woven magic with the written word. Filled with trivia and never-before-heard-of anecdotes, Main Shaayar Toh Nahin is an introduction to the contribution made by some of the finest wordsmiths to the Hindi film industry.

Description: “There’s a whole chapter on my son Beau… He was co-located [twice] near these burn pits.” –Joe Biden, former Vice President of the United States of AmericaThe Agent Orange of the 21st Century… Thousands of American soldiers are returning from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan with severe wounds from chemical war. They are not the victims of ruthless enemy warfare, but of their own military commanders. These soldiers, afflicted with rare cancers and respiratory diseases, were sickened from the smoke and ash swirling out of the “burn pits” where military contractors incinerated mountains of trash, including old stockpiles of mustard and sarin gas, medical waste, and other toxic material.

This shocking work, now for the first time in paperback, includes:

Illustration of the devastation in one soldier’s intimate story

A plea for help

Connection between the burn pits and Major Biden’s unfortunate suffering and death

The burn pits’ effects on native citizens of Iraq: mothers, fathers, and children

Denial from the Department of Defense and others

Warning signs that were ignored

and much more

Based on thousands of government documents, over five hundred in-depth medical case studies, and interviews with more than one thousand veterans and active-duty GIs,The Burn Pitswill shock the nation. The book is more than an explosive work of investigative journalism—it is the deeply moving chronicle of the many young men and women who signed up to serve their country in the wake of 9/11, only to return home permanently damaged, the victims of their own armed forces’ criminal negligence.
