I have just disassembled a cheap .22 pistol.  The purpose was to get the barrel and trunnion out of the polymer frame so that I could soak it in solvent without fear of damaging the plastic bits.  The barrel and trunnion are going to soak for a few days.  When it finishes soaking and I scrub it out, then I get to try to put the bag-o'-little-parts back together again.  Well, maybe before that I need to call the manufacturer's customer service.  A disassembly video I watched said that there's supposed to be a little 3D printed polymer wedge (a part not appearing on the official parts diagram) in the frame underneath the trunnion to keep it more stable in the frame, to correct a problem the early production ones had with the breech end of the barrel shifting around, which caused extraction and ejection problems.  Mine didn't have one when I took it apart, and it's always had extraction and ejection problems.  Maybe they will let me buy one.  Maybe they'll tell me I'm retarded.  Maybe I can whittle a little shim out of wood and jam it in there.   Wish me luck, guise.

So, as I've been reorganizing my filesystem, I did end up finding this, which I believed was lost medias, but alas, it is actually found medias now. However, it shall remain safely tucked away in my vault because it is actually really super awkward and uncomfortable and embarrassing just as I remembered it being.

I wished it didn't come to this but I need to work a second job in addition to my full-time job. Going with the current rate of income and expenses, I'll be homeless in a few years. My salary will not increase, and things will just get more expensive.
Thanks, roof rats.

Every sunday I get into a mood where I think about my job and I get an immense sense of loathing for it. I make good money and it's not terribly hard but I despise working for someone else. On top of that, I'm a defacto primary income provider for my family at the moment and I doubt I could get another job, so the stress of not wanting to fluff anything up gets to me. I don't care whatsoever for the content of my job and I feel like I do my job entirely out of fear of losing it, which is a poor motivator. 

I have a problem with apathy in general and a big problem with procrastination. Since I can work from home, and since I get little and poor quality sleep, what I end up doing is I take naps during the work day and leave work for later, sometimes the evenings but often times just not doing much at all. The most stressful part of my day is the morning standups where I have to basically lie about my progress and it eats at me. I hate feeling like this and I wish I could be self employed, but that's a pipe dream in current year. Take this week for example, there was something I was supposed to have started on thursday, worked most of the day on friday on, and report progress monday morning. Except I slept most of thursday and friday and now I'm taking tomorrow (monday) off sick just so that I can make up the work that I said I was doing. This situation is not sustainable, and on top of that I'm supposed to go on vacation the week after and I don't know if I'll have all my work finished by then, certainly not if I'm sleeping all mornings. Waking up at 7am is a fluffing pooch and a half

I so dearly wish indie game dev was an actual path towards money, because its something I both am capable of and would be able to do mostly on my own. However expecting to make money from indie dev is absurd with how much stuff is coming out now, and I can't just sustain with no job for the years it'd take to make such a game. But I can't work on the game when I'm busy all day being tired and stressed from my job or doing other things. And the worst part is I actually have some connections so that I could get someone to probably do the graphics for my game, and someone to do the music, since I can do neither. But how am I supposed to work on something like that when it'd take all of my freetime up for years? I like having freetime, I don't want to just sacrifice everything I do for that. If it was an actual job that'd be different. 

I was considering drawing a little doodle for my mood right now but after attempting a few sketches and not being able to draw a face I just quit out of frustration, apparently not in the mood to draw either, so I had to pull a previous one

i guess you could try a kickstarter? doing game dev (as an indie developer) sounds much better than working for zog. but ive been there with remote work and slacking and having to explain wtf you've been doing. i wish i had advice, but good luck bro

>>128421
fix your sleep. set alarms, go to sleep at a fixed time. you can live off 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night pretty easily. even if you're getting up late, you should still be awake for 15 hours a day at the minimum, that's more than enough time to get whatever work is expected of you finished within a reasonable timeframe
you've got some executive dysfunction issues. idk where you're wasting your time but you gotta fix that shit. a wfh job is literally perfect for game dev, i would kill for a fully remote job that paid anywhere near what i get paid now. you can speed through whatever work is expected of you and then switch over to your personal project right after; at the bare minimum, that's 4 hours per day plus weekends, though it'd likely be much more. it wont be as fast as it might be if you were working full time on it, but you could still put something together within 2 or 3 years, depending on the scope of what you're trying to make
though if you're only interested in game dev for the money, you're looking at the wrong field. it's oversaturated, the ROI fluffing sucks time-wise, and if you haven't been making games since you were 12, it's probably not worth it to pursue. there are far easier and more lucrative ways to work for yourself and get filthy rich

I'm not, I am interested in doing it as a hobby and moreso just lamenting that it isn't good for money, because if it was then I wouldn't need to worry about any other job

I spended the last week moving files around on my computer. I decided to gut the bare metal Windows 10 installation I have and put the handful of Windows-only programs I "need" on a smaller virtual machine inside Ubuntu instead (which I cheekily named "Linux Subsystem for Windows"-- an inversion of Windows's WSL). But I didn't Nyvke the bare metal installation fully, as much as I was tempted to, only shrinking it instead, because I've yet to play BF6 with Averif(l)ag and occasionally some other nyagger will say that we should play some similarly pozzed ass game that requires a kernel-level anticheat, forcing my hand. I'm going to avoid any such games on my own from now on, though. They're the only reason I can't have a clean Linux-only setup at this point. My /home/ directory's grown really crusty over the years, though. I still need to finish reorganizing it.
I tested Ableton Live on the VM, producing these as test samples. It works perfectly fine. I'm going to have to get used to software rendering on Revit, but otherwise the VM solution is flawless.
It seemed the hot weather was going to subside for a while, but summer won't give up without a fight, I guess. Even if the temperatures were to drop, I'm not so sure I'd immediately want to abandon this nocturnal sleep schedule, though. I like it. The moon is really pretty too.

Steam had a sale on the cod franchise so I decided to play through them all since I never had a chance to do that as a kid. Boy, the original CoD is horrible by even early 2000s standards. Brain dead linear level design, limited gun play, enemies that insta kill you on sight (had a nazi mid burst on my ally 180 and mow me down). Some of the hard levels weren't hard because they tested my skill, but were purely annoying like Pavel's house just having guys run up behind me and my allies being useless to draw fire. This game did have its cool moments but I was more frustrated than having fun most of the time, hopefully the later entries in the franchise improve on this.

And on level design, I wasn't expecting a huge open world, but I got really pissed off when the game explicitely told me "don't try to open closed doors". Felt insulted and like the devs thought I was an idiot, it's also not very hard to create a basic room and give the world more life.

>>129262
I think back then “gamer sense” wasn’t really a thing yet in the general public so they wouldn’t understand which doors could be opened and closed.

>>129262
Approximately where's the cutoff for the good Call of Duty games? I'm guessing it must be sometime around 2016? I also never really got to play COD maybe I should do what you're doing someday.

>>129262
Imo the treyarch games (waw, bo1, and bo2) have the best interconnected campaigns, but MW2 has the best overall campaign. The campaign is actually the only thing i liked about mw2 :'()

>>129297
Cod 4 through Black Ops 2 is generally considered the golden age of CoD by most oldheads, but if you end up liking zombies BO3 is a must own because it has steam workshop support for zombies maps. Ghosts is where a lot of people think the series started to fall off but even ghosts is a better game than most modern CoDs. You can play most older cod games multiplayer through stuff like plutonium for custom servers.

Why on earth wouldn't you just torrent the games? Buying the every-CoD bundle isn't sending any sort of coherent market signal or going towards funding anything of value over at Activision. Anyway, it doesn't make any sense to evaluate old videogames by the faux-objectivist goodgamedesign standards of 2026. What's even the point of playing old videogames if not to appreciate these as products of discrete sensibilities and moments in time? "linear level design", "gun play" I mean what were you expecting? That the maps would be designed like the /v/ greentext mythology perception of Deus Ex levels, that the guns would handle like Tarkov or necessite sub-DOOM2016 Simon Says quickswapping? This was an experimental period for videogames, when there hadn't quite developed any solidified understandings of who would be buying these things and what forms of friction and frustration were "acceptable", also created well into that phase where "play time" was a criteria that review outlets and consumers took seriously, and when "padding" had to be done as a compromise with that.
The only driving vision behind the first three CoDs was to recreate scenes and setpieces from the WW2 movies around that time, these weren't WW2 games as much as they were WW2 moviegames. Though they obviously didn't succeed very much at that either, with 'FPS' AI either being totally braindead or aimbotting gods, and how each section of the games incoherently oscillates between wanting to make you feel like an extra getting mowed down by an MG and a special forces commando. Modern Warfare 2 was the best the series ever got at embodying the moviegame ideal, as a loosely-connected series of cool thriller setpieces to be powered through in a couple hours.
>hopefully the later entries in the franchise improve on this
Veteran was always the trial-and-error bullshit difficulty for bragging rights, the systems in these game are simply not robust enough or well-considered enough to have any form of mastery or higher engagement with them which could be drawn out by bumping the damage numbers up. Legendary Mode in Halo CE was built on the principles established by Jason Jones while creating Marathon, of its highest difficulty and the concept of the 'Vidmaster' and the Vidmaster challenge. Of requiring and generating novel, organic forms of engagement and seemingly-effortless displays of mastery which are also entertaining to watch - videogame master, but also *video*-master. Principles which go beyond rote application of goodgamedesign (which didn't exist back then because they're fucking arbitrary and have no real epistemic foundations) and affect every facet of the resulting product. Nothing in the CoD games operates on a robust system which could be properly learned or mastered without being an autistic speedrunner that's studied the code itself; games are sets of contrived rules and systems, the only rules that CoD AI operate by are to move between fixed waypoints and shoot things until they die, maybe throw grenades based on an interval and condition. How much can you really do when working with that?
Oh yeah, the later entries don't improve on any of these things at all. The absolute worst it gets is in WaW, which is a really stupid game in general. Play these things on Normal difficulty.

Playing CoD 2 right now, and I'm mixed on it. On one hand the level design has massively improved, while the missions are clearly still linear, the world is more open and interconnects more. No more walking in corridors, the game tells me to destroy 3 tanks in the couryard and leaves me be gek
That's where the positives end though, the gunplay feels noticeably worse and hip fire has been absolutely gutted. The game feels less cinematic, the first one had a lot of "epic guy" moment but here I just kill one wave of germans and move on to the next arena. There's a lot of killing in this game, too much honestly, like so much I realize I just spent 10 minutes sitting behind cover hitting headshots and there's still 3 more waves remaining. Maybe I was playing wrong or not aggressive enough. Also CoD 2 is when we receive the icon "jam on my screen", they got rid of the health bar and now you just hide behind cover and wait to recharge.
Finished the Soviet campaign and I will not be continuing because the game introduced zero new weapons and the gunplay is worse, for a game that's all about gun play this is just ridiculous.

It rained last weekend and it just made the air more humid and everything worse.

I mounted a cheap Amazon scope today using a cheap Amazon mount.  Some time in the next few days I will see whether I did it right.

I got a scope mount that was not a "clone" or "replica" of well known high-dollar stuff.  Oh, the Chinese are now making scope mounts that are mix-and-match "clones."  There is one on Amazon that has the base and latching mechanism of Famous Brand A, but the latch levers are copied from Famous Brand B, and the rings are hinged at the top with screws at the bottom only like the mounts from Famous Brand C.   It's a Frankenstein thing and everything about it is copied from some well known design, but the sum total is not exactly like anything else.  I am not sure whether that makes them original or not.  I almost bought one but the base was so long that it would have interfered with the rear sight, which is a "feature" of one of the designs they copied. I would have a little more respect for the people selling this stuff if they'd noticed the complaints about the original and altered the design to correct the problem.  Either change the design or mill a centimeter or two off the rear of the base, right there.  This is probably milling machine work rather than Harbor Freight chop saw work.
