  1. Why do people seem to think that hydroxychloroquine is a new experimental drug?

    It's not. It's been around since 1955. It is as safe as a drug can be.      Although in extremely rare cases it can cause blindness.

    I have a family member who's been taking it for 12 years.

    And the governor of New York wasn't allowing people to take it.

    The US is pretty much the last country to approve its use in treating coronavirus.

    While people are suffering and dying, these people are playing politics.

     

  2. Okay. I think I have now seen the biggest display of numbskullery in the history of this Covid19 pandemic.

    Lemme just lay out a scenario here.

    The management at my local Walmart is having a meeting.

    "How can we protect our customers from coronavirus?"

    Someone responds, "We can close all the entrances except one, forcing all customers to come into close contact with one another."

    Someone thought that was a great idea.

    The store is literally corralling a bunch of people together into one small door.

     

    Yeah, that's not the opposite of social distancing...

      "that's not the opposite of social distancing" Yes it is

      Well I stole your face!

  3. Bedrock dev just released a  image, possibly teasing the addition of nbt tags to Bedrock!

    oooooh I hope so. That would be epic.

      The images shows the chat, along with an armor stand with equipment.

      Maybe this armor stand was /summoned with the armor?? 

      I guess we'll find out soon what this images means

  4. This is strangely reminiscent to The Rise of Skywalker... ?

    I don't remember what I typed in the book to get this but...it's, uh, the Exegol dimension. Yeah, Exegol.

      There's a lot more(infinite), but the fog causes super low render distance

      Some worlds also have an extremely fast day/night cycle, and the sun and moon also vary wildly in size.

      you know, I don't think that snapshot is actually a waste of programming (as they intended it to be.) It's actually pretty cool, in my opinion. do you know what Myst or Mystcraft is? because it's kinda like that.

  5. Coronavirus has just been a really bad and early  April fools joke.

     

     

    Or maybe this status is...?

  6. It's not bad, but if I'm honest, It doesn't really look like the Gman.
  7. Sony has delayed Morbius until 2021.

    Good grief people.

    If this corona thing lasts until August, the world will have to have started again.

    Even then, by August some predict it'll will be gone by then, or that's when the it will fizzle out completely.

    I mean even if 2 years down the line Corona still looms large, we will not still be quarantined.

      movie delays now exist?

    2. __Mine__

      __Mine__

      "Delayed" doesn't mean "cancelled".

      The Coronavirus is much more important than a movie/game coming out on time, and you should know that.

  8. I just discovered that you can use Bedrock animation controllers in behavior packs to test for all sort of things, that I previously thought were impossible currently.

    I can test if the player is sneaking, jumping, gliding,on fire, is moving, is on the ground or flying, and much more!

    Insanely useful.

    Still, looking forward to the time where we can test this sort of stuff with scoreboards like on Java.

    This opens so many doors for me to play around with.

      Lol

      BE animation controllers contain the logic for an entity to know what animation to use and when to use them

       

  9. Bedrock on low end devices(or xbox one) in a nutshell
  10. This is just a little thing I put together to celebrate what I think is one the of the best blocks Minecraft has added in quite a few updates. The new lodestone block. I'm not too terribly happy with how the effects came out, but hopefully you get the idea. I hope.
  11. love the new lodestone block!

    I gives compasses a practical use(finally) and will change the way we explore forever. 

    It's so useful.

      the new mob looks like a tumour tho.

      I hate the design, but you can't fault it's usefulness. 

  12. Anyone else having a hard time believing that this Coronavirus thing is actually happening?

     

    I mean it's very much real, but this global pandemic, thousands dead, the world practically shut down. This isn't the kind of thing you expect to happen. More like a movie plot.

     

    Seems like a movie director got his hands on the reality stone. ?

    I hope life returns to normal soon.

    Even if the virus is still around till like August, how long can the world survive like this? A lot of people aren't working.

    If this goes too long, it will have much more serious long term effects on the world economy. 

  13. So, Congress Dems blocked the Covid19 relief bill. Reason is they attached unrelated stuff to the bill, like free phones, voting without I'd, forgiving student loans and other stuff.

    Now, you might think that all that is great. But not now.

    Attaching conditions unrelated to issue at hand is nothing new, both parties have been doing it for ages.

    But this is not the time for that. Like half the country is out of work right now. Small businesses and families need relief, and Democrats are trying to advance their political agenda, effectively holding Americans hostage.

    Someone needs to get smacked in the face with a big book.

    Anyway, they tried and failed. I think they will now pass the bill.

  14. What if this time next year coronavirus is still at large?

    I mean, it's never going to go away. COVID19 will be on Earth for the foreseeable future. We don't currently have a way to eradicate a sickness.

    The flu comes around every year and kills thousands in the USA alone, but life goes on.

     

    If coronavirus sticks around for a lot longer, at what point does it become a fact of life, like flu and colds?

     

    Anyway, just something I was pondering. Hope it doesn't come to that.

      Yes, but viruses mutate, and you're not immune to the mutated strand.

      That's why the flu is still a thing.

    3. Draco63

      Draco63

      what do you mean we don't have the ability to eradicate a sickness?

      just look at smallpox!

      though, yeah, it'll probably never happen with COVID-19.

    4. Spontaneous Explosions

      Spontaneous Explosions

      We have no way of know its completely gone.

      If killing viruses was easy, or even plausible why would the common cold still be around?

       

  15. Would other forms of reflections and lighting be the same case? Such as rasterization?
  16. Not that I recall, no. I noticed that too, thought it was odd. I'll try deleting the assets so It has to unzip them again. Okay, yeah. I had been messing around with the textures for a reason I don't remember. That fixed it. Thanks.
  17. For at least the past 3 days I can't open Mine-imator(1.2.6). When I try, it gives me this error: Win32 function failed: HRESULT : 0x80070057 Call: GR_D3D_Device->CreateTexture2D at like 522 in file \TexturesM.cpp Followed by these consecutively after pressing 'ok' on each I Googled it, and it has to do with 3d textures. Then I tried running MI 1.2.6 from Gamemaker, and I get this error: Attempting to create a texture of size 32768 x 32768 in SetupD3DTexture, this is bigger than the maximum allowable dimensions (16384) So yeah, it definitely has to do with the textures. Here's the crash log, although I don't think it helps. But hey, Idk. And before you tell me to: I rebooted. I reinstalled MI. I updated my graphics drivers. I uninstalled and reinstalled my graphics drivers. I updated Windows. I ran MI with High Performance Nvidia Processor. I scoured the internet for solutions, not finding any. So...Help? And again, this only started occurring just about 3 day ago. I hadn't changed any settings on my pc.
  18. jQuery is my best friend.

    Well, when it comes to JS development

    1. Draco63

      Draco63

      you'd be out of luck if it was your actual best friend ? just imagine trying to get together IRL

  19. Someone help, I need some new words to react to this.
  20. Mine-imator 1.3.0: The Glorious Graphics Update.

    Those sun rays!!!!

      that would be awesome. I mean, I know it's possible since people have managed to do it within the program, so why not just build it in as a feature? it would make things a lot easier.

      (the reflections, I mean. We no longer have to hope when it comes to the sun rays ?)

    3. Ghatos

      Ghatos

      Thoses sun rays are cool, yeah....

      But have you seen thoses shadows?!?

    4. Spontaneous Explosions

      Spontaneous Explosions

      Yes I have.

      When it comes to commuter graphics, I have always been a bit of a stickler for shadows.

      The news ones are way better.

  21. When this coronavirus thing is over, hopefully much sooner than anyone expects, I wonder how many people will find themselves with too much toilet paper. ?

     

    1. Draco63

      Draco63

      very many people.

  22. Trump is now using the Defense Production Act, which allows the President to order companies to produce more products in certain situations.

    I hope he'll order more toilet paper be made xD

    But seriously, he's upping the production of food and medical supplies, allowing for for test kits to be manufactured faster, I guess.

      Trump doing something good for the USA?

      Thank you for the updates, really helpful btw
