Lopaw Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 By chance while looking in a parts catalog I found a even more pointless IC than that 13 input NAND thing. Its called the UM66, lives in a everyday TO-92 package (so it can pretend it's a transistor) and all it does is play 1 to 3 awfully tinny songs that are preprogrammed onto it. I am certain this is what goes in novelty musical cards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my Toucans has a bullet inside his skull, and my shrike has lots of shotgun pellets in him.

DrGravitas Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 The training managed to fit both days into one session! It ended up being a couple hours of slides and discussion and about 2 hours of presentation by Microsoft Sam. The least painful part was when the jagged metal that came unglued from the inner-side of my lower teeth broke off from the other side of the glue. Huzzah!

Victor-933 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I made another stupid map. It's a huge vertical tube and everyone spawns in alcoves at the top that force them out into the main "arena", once again armed with only a crowbar. There's a trigger_push that makes players float up and down in the tube and they have to float over to and beat the piss out of each other.

Gonna call it the Vomit Comet What exactly are you building these maps for? I used to make pretty crazy ass maps a long time ago. I made one that was nothing but traps all over the place, traps you could trigger on others, or traps you could trigger on yourself. I assume people would have eventually figured out the self-triggering traps. Also, made one that exploited bugs in the mapmaking software, as well as things like transparent solid textures or teleportation textures, the ability to change the gravity in a local area, and shit to make this map that was nothing but physics breaking mindfucks. MC Escher rooms, rooms where the walls shifted depending on where you stood, and players would appear and disappear at random, hallways and rooms that existed in the same plane but didn't interact, doors to different areas in the middle of rooms, rooms that were nothing but the background texture to screw with your head, ect.

Going to be similar for me when I move out of my parent's house; I've run out of space on my two bookshelves, both of which are already double-stacked, and now have multiple boxes holding the overflow... I might have to downsize my collection somewhat before the move, but it's always so difficult to get rid of books... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor-933 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 19 hours ago, Crazy Lee said: <snip> These maps are being made for Half-Life 1. I recently released one after nerding out over it in the Videogame Creations thread. About the craziest map I ever made (that was never released) was the result of too much Myst -- a trio of islands floating in an endless void, looking like displaced chunks of Wyoming hill country, with a cabin on one, a windmill drawing water from another, and an overflowing pond on the third. The pond water was flowing off the edge and into a portal that teleported it back above the pond itself, creating an infinite flow of water. Sometimes I just make stupid shit like the Smackbox or the Vomit Comet purely for amusement but on occasion they also end up being totally experimental in nature. I started on another map. Dunno if I'd call it steampunk (because I hate most forms of steampunk) but it does have a very gritty industrial theme to it. also @Wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopaw Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I went further at looking into the useless UM66 and found a slightly better but still useless noisemaker called the UM3481A, at least it in a DIP package though so it looks unmistakably like a IC. (Chip for joe average) This one can be considered the "Christmas classics album" and sounds so bad it's good. To me it sounds like a novelty card or a chipmunk on helium with it's balls in a vice. There are others in the series that are basically the same but play nursery rhymes , folk songs and even Elvis songs according to the datasheet from UMC (oddball Taiwanese semiconductor maker) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Raspberry Pi 3B, power cord, heat sink kit, USB gamepad, and USB keyboard adapter, which cost less than the restoration parts I'd need short of getting a second Vic-20 system. When the parts gets here, I'm going to try RetroPie on it. Also, I came across an interesting computer case: I got that case and have been toying with it. The whole thing is made of what feels like balsa wood, and the design looks like it was burned on with a stamp. It came in four flat pieces (base, front, back, and unified top and sides), and they all snap together "tab A into slot B" style, except nothing's labeled. It came with a set of screws, nuts, standoff "washers" I suppose made of the same wood, three heat sinks, and a card saying to go to their website for assembly instructions: <http://goo.gl/0AKjKw>. I don't doubt the possibility I'm blind, but there's no mention of the Bel-Aire case at all there, let alone how to assemble it. After trial and error, I worked it out: Insert screws top-down on the Pi, and fix nuts and washers, one each per screw, under the Pi. Line up the back with the Pi, and put the back in the base while slipping the Pi screws through the base. This was the WTF step. Fix the other set of nuts on the screws to the base. Put the front in the base, then wrap the cover from one side over the top to the other. Aside from that, it doesn't look or feel all that bad.
