Hope all is well

I'm in a funny mood at the moment, I might as well talk about a lot random stuff.

I might maybe talk about prank phone calls, I thought I would grow out of listening to the prank calls but it is the complete opposite I love them at the age of 30. The reason I love them is there are so many different ways of going about a prank call, i'e you have your sound boards of famous actors, (etc) where you play the soundboard down the phone. I like it when they have a conversation while at the same time the actual conversation itself is a prank so to say.

Separate topic, when it comes to a job interview, I tend to think of things differently, instead of it being a one way conversation, lets make it a two way conversation, you are asking questions during the process as well and you are trying to find out as much as you can about the job.  A job can be tricky to get in this day and age, I think it could even be harder because of robots and stuff in the future. Soon it will be robots that serve people at the checkouts, we are getting closer to that sort of thing I feel.

The apophis asteroid which was discovered in 2004 will probably make a close pass by the earth around 2029, don't worry there's a tiny tiny tiny chance that it will hit earth but that is so tiny that it is not even worth thinking of. After the asteroid passes in 2029 it is going to come back around in 2036. I don't know if this will be closer to the earth than the 2029 one. It would be interesting looking at it in the sky at night, that would be cool.

If it did hit the earth that would be bad but the chances are so low it's not even worth thinking about.

It's an interesting read.

Is it okay to post this. Don't worry they are talking about a new method of execution.

Thanks for the feedback.

V 6.5 is out!

The following levels have received a backroute fix:

- 1 31 (added a new OWW, +2 climbers)

I've decided against moving 1 37 back as you were by far not the only one having at least some sort of problems there and the trick is easily missed.

Also:

There's no Discord support.  The RSS plugin isn't in the repo either because it's a hacked-up combination of Python and Lua scripts.

"Blood Born" updated to V8 - I had to break the tool symmetry and replace a Bomber with a Miner.  "Are you kidding me?!" unchanged.

Again I point out that many games nowadays features so-called hotkeys and no buttons. Pressing keys without any kind of visual button the screen is very common.

Most games nowdays also have gameplay not even remotely comparable to Lemmings. Probably the closest would be RTS games; I'm not familiar with the super-modern ones, but I recall every game in the Age of Empires series would have on-screen buttons for everything - albeit with some of the more advanced features hidden if you don't enable an "advanced mode".

another idea on 'removing' a button is to place the release rate change function up to overtop of entrances (this is how Revolution worked--you left or right clicked the entrances and the number appeared temporarily above it). That would free up one more space.

This might give the impression that each entrance's release rate can be adjusted independently.

I just took a look at what the compact panel looks like - I haven't used it in so long, that I didn't remember off-hand. I know the DOS L1 skill panel (which is also 320px wide) would have room for two more skills, by removing some of the filler between the panels and the minimap / to the right of the minimap - but NL's compact panel has made use of this space for a fast forward button and an increase to the minimap width.

Perhaps this can be reversed - shrink the minimap a tiny bit and remove the fast-forward button. This makes room for two more skills on the compact panel. On the full-size panel, we've got 8 utility buttons that aren't stacked - Pause, Nuke, Fast Forward, Restart, Framestep Back, Framestep Forward, Clear Physics, and Load Replay. (We also have two buttons for directional select, but these are stacked.) Maybe we can stack some of these - I would definitely be okay with stacking the framestep ones in the same way as the directional select. Maybe Fast Forward and Restart can also be stacked - and then, viola, we've got room for two more skills. Perhaps we could stack even more aggressively, to also give a slightly wider minimap - I think this is more beneficial than these buttons being full-height.
