Kawa silently gives Cai a gesture not entirely unlike "come see" and continues typing. The first thing one'd notice is that the system has only a keyboard for input. The second is that between the unreadable alien script and helpful syntax highlighting, Kawa seems to be writing something Lisp-like. Every so often, they strike a function key and switch to a different window (none of them overlapping, but rather arranged on a grid) to test things, revealing the project to be a classic text adventure.

Pffft. I agree with this title.

"Ah, of course. You can't read any of this, can you?" Kawa laughs. "I'm working on a text adventure game. Mostly the world data and such, on the engine from its predecessor."

Kawa indicates the two windows. "Here's the world data, with the room I'm working on, and here's the thing in action, updated live."

..."in Kingdom Hearts" you say. I don't follow KH much but aren't those not even the same Cloud and Sephi?

Let me rephrase for clarity. Are the Cloud and Sephiroth in KH supposed to be the same characters as in FF7, or are they alternate takes on them?

"Not a problem," Kawa says with a smile, then produces a new bottle of fizzy chocolate milk from under the table and offers it to Cai. "Shintanik?"

Kawa chuckles as they pop the cap off. "This is as much chocolate as a felin is a cat."

Superficial resemblance means little.

It looks like it takes a lot of thought and effort to do well.

Eun efthail, iaralri irhenite.

(Believe me, it certainly does.)

Oh, the empty rectangle is supposed to be a penguin? Very well then, I'll answer ⊞. Or, to put it another way, W in Marlett. Or ÿ in Wingdings if I'm feeling nostalgic.

Send noots.

I require awesome catgirls -- lesbianism not a requirement -- like a zerg needs vespene gas.

Mriw Khrismas!

Mriw Khrismas, ya filthy animals

A twenty dollar Steam card and a chocolate bar, in a big bag of peanuts.

Chips Challenge? Yeah, I remember playing that one.

Is it just me or are many well-known Unity games actually quite badly made?

Consider if you will that this laptop will happily run a game like Skyrim without issue. Would you expect a low-action 2D game like Oh Sir to run so hot it can't get past the tutorial without making my computer self-terminate?

First idea I had was to limit the amount of CPU cores it was allowed to use. Starting at 50+% CPU usage, I cut it from all four to just one. This made the game stutter. Wildly. It needed at least three to not stutter, and still used 50+%.

Then I used the NVidia control panel's per-application settings to disable a bunch of things and only then would the game run smoothly on a single core, at around 20% CPU usage.

So far I've played and won two rounds, letting the system rest inbetween. And Oh Sir is by far not the only Unity-based game I've encountered with this issue.

What's up with that?

The momther and I watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I'd never seen it before.

Shameful, I know.

I have not.

That reminds me of a joke in a FIMfic I read.

This scene is set in the Equestria Girls high school AU, and the Twilight in this scene is the one from that AU, not the pony princess.

"...Mana is a snackfood," Sunset said, confused.

"Wh...what?"

"Yeah. Snackfood." Seeing the baffled look on Twilight's face, she rolled her eyes. "We'd make, basically, granola bars, but the ingredients were high-thaum-concentration plants--"

"Thaum." Twilight leapt on the word. "Thaum, is that a measure of magical energy?"

"It's a quantitative measure of potential magical energy--wait, is that what you thought mana was?"

"Yes! I mean, all the video games use... mana bars..."

The two of them stared at each other.

"...crrrrrrrap."
