Gaming dork, one time blogger, stuck in the 80s, loves pre-2000 music, detests religion, increasingly indifferent to politics, believes the state and society should stay out of individual's lives (live and let live). Loves comedy, and despises bullshit
The BUILD engine allows for sprites to be flattened and their shade values and palette to be changed in addition to their alpha. Basically, change a tree sprite’s palette value to a black one and toggle its alpha value to one of three possible transparency levels. If I remember correctly.

Does this have on screen level stats like many modern BUILD source ports? I’d be keen to get this if it does.

Whenever an old game’s source code is found it should be released as open source, both for the benefit of gamers and ultimately game developers as well.

I can’t stand what Charlie Kirk stood for, yet this idiot would gaslight people into thinking otherwise. Maybe a lawsuit would go well with the criminal charge of counseling suicide?

I’m pro-science and all that, yet I’m somehow the cooker?

Should I sent that comment telling me to basically off myself to the NZ police?

Telling someone that is a criminal offense, no matter how you try and dress it!

I mean it's literally a case of if you don't stand for traditional family values, somehow you're a communist, or if you don't believe in same sex marriage, you're a Nazi. That's a rough approximation of the black and white dichotomy we see in modern politics and its poisoning society at large.

You know there is a thing called centrism, right?

If centrism, or a pragmatic approach to politics is deemed to be stuck in the last century, then perhaps you're right. I have no coherent political philsophy, simply because the new way of doing things politically is much more black and white.

"well i guess "stuck in the 80s" is correct at least. we'll care about your opinions once you arrive in the 21st century."

This screams, "I'm not saying you are conservative, but you espouse conservative values." Stop being so fucking disingenuous.
September 11, 2025 at 8:26 AM
I'm neither conservative nor liberal, so you'd best refrain making fallacious statements before you make a right tit of yourself.

And yet you get off on a free pass?

Calm the fuck down. Brian Tamaki is an intolerant cockwomble, but you're not much better than him yourself.

You realize she has a serious mental illness, right?

You really are a hypocrite. An awful one at that.
September 11, 2025 at 6:19 AM
Because of free speech. You can’t stifle people’s beliefs. We need to know what people really think.
September 11, 2025 at 6:15 AM
And yet you lose the plot when I call you out for name calling and subsequently block me. You’re in no position to call anyone a cooker. You’re acting just as unhinged as the conspiracy theorists.

If you’re so right, stop insulting people and use actual arguments.
September 11, 2025 at 6:14 AM
Kirk and his cohorts were right. You far left types are intolerant hypocrites. You can’t even engage in rational debate without resorting to insults. You are pathetic,and just as unhinged as the cookers!

Looks like I won again!
