Somehow, I feel like Ralph should pronounce it “Pengaton” or something like that.

There are actually roughly 4,000 words of Arabic origin because of the Moorish (where the Moors of northen Africa crossed the Strait of Gibraltar) conquest of Spain:

“File’s done.” Yes, Elwood, the file’s finally done.

Nice to see some Tom7 love here! I feel like he is the Incredible Hulk of obsessiveness. His rabbit holes are the deepest. Once he gets something in his head, there is little that can keep him from plumbing even the deepest depth of a topic - making the improbable possible all in the name of subverting expectations.

Cool. Thanks for the explanation. Is there any significance to 1 + 8 = 10?

Can someone explain this one for me?

Also, I laughed out loud when Bandit was putting Bluey to bed and they cut to Chilli putting Bingo to bed and she was buried under a mountain of stuffed animals.

Though I agree that skeuomorphs are generally concrete rather than abstract representations, ignoring the obsolescence aspect means that almost any design element that looks like a concrete object (however stylized it may be) would then be a skeuomorph, right?

Your camera app icon that looks like a camera lens - skeuomorph? I’d say no because cameras still have lenses.

When you use your camera app and your phone speaker plays a sound that mimics an SLR shutter clicking even though your phone’s camera doesn’t use a shutter curtain - skeuomorph? Yes, it mimics something familiar from a previous design no longer necessary in the current design.

I am a bit of a word nerd and recognize that words can change in meaning over time, but I’ve always understood skeuomorph to be in line with my usage. Can anyone point me to an alternate definition?

I asked this question on this post on a different instance, but would there be issues being that the code compares a float to integer zero “0”?

I know this is /c/Progammerhumor, but I wanted to pull on this thread a little bit for my own edification. I’m a Python guy and have been a while, but I’ve dabbled in other languages. The screenshot says “MonoBehaviour” which makes me assume this is mono or a .Net-like language (you know what happens when you assume).

If your player health is a float, would mono or .Net have an issue comparing the float with integer zero “0”? I mean, it seems like floating point precision may make it impossible for it to ever “equal” integer zero, but it also seems like the code isn’t accounting for that precision error.

Am I overthinking this?

Honest question - what about these are skeuomorphic? I mean, I know that the Save button icon being a floppy disk is skeuomorphic because we don’t save our files on floppies anymore, but what about these are no longer necessary to the concept?

Here’s a fun CGP Grey video on the matter: https://youtu.be/pUF5esTscZI?si=9czdx4u8jWruZoui

Reminds me of the cover art for At The Throne of Judgment’s last single, Goblin Kaiser:

I’ve heard this as a reference to the bread that was given to the Israelites in the wilderness - manna. In Exodus, the Israelites are instructed to gather and prepare it each day. In the exegesis of that connection, I believe it is Jesus encouraging believers to trust in God for his provision daily.

GH as in “laugh”? People’d start flame wars over whether “FIF” is the intended pronunciation…

I’m sorry you had that experience. When I started really learning Blender (back in the 2.37ish days), there weren’t video tutorials for everything. But the piece of advice that really helped from the resources that were available (shout-out to Blender 3D: Noob to Pro) was to read the manual in its entirety.

I’m not sure how practical that is nowadays, but the Blender 3D: Noob to Pro eBook still pushes a “Know before making” approach. I hang out on the Blenderartists Support forum and frequently point people to the relevant manual page for whatever feature they are stumped by or whichever limitation is explained on the Cycles vs. Eevee page, etc. I’m willing to offer you one-on-one help if you’d like, but I do my best to take a “teach a man to fish” approach that requires effort on the other end as well. DM me if you wanna chat, or post in the Blenderartists Support forum and I’ll jump in there.

Hey, @Mandy. I know you gave the example of the knife tool and cut-through, and in another response, you said you were struggling with everything, but can you be more specific about what is wrong or outdated? I know that every new version may tweak the settings/visuals a little bit, but the manual text is usually up-to-date.

Google is…
