Where I was slowly roaming almost empty mall corridors, counting them as mine. Compulsed to growl and groan, after all it seemed to convince zombies not to touch me, that was my thoughts. Saw a survivor once, started growling, so he would be alert and can run away. I prayed for him to run away and not get eaten, inside my head. While mimicking zombie behavior - couldn't let zombies see through my "disguise" and know, that I had some sanity left - although any human activity was immensely tiring now, even simple thinking. Then lost the sight of survivor, he got away.

I haven't played cdda for about two weeks

But main question - What threshold dream is this?

Hi all, finally got into rollerblading, got me regular urban freeriders. First day I had to do a tactical falling, because I couldn't lower my speed on long downhill pedestrian road(empty at the time) to not to "zoom" into part where cars were moving. I am not totally new to rollerblading, but last time I did it was 17 years ago - it was more like fitness skating, so no such problems. I also played hockey for quite a time 15 years ago... Was slalomstopping like crazy, no problem at all - but I cannot seem to do this, as speed and gliding seems off. I practiced today T-stop for 2 hours, but every time it wants to spin me clockwise, as I do this with right leg. So, the question, how do you rid

So, I am planning to write a 2D game just on winAPI and StretchDIBits (C++), planning to write my own alpha blending, simple(at least) "shaders", using mouse for interacting with ingame menus and objects, multiple entities, maaaaaybe dynamic lightning. Why? For challenge, probably, to learn something new.

So the question is, how much optimisation would it be needing and if it is at all possible to avoid GPU programming/run such programm without GPU?

And also if possible, any insight on what winAPI uses to process sound? Any easy ways?(except not using winAPI)

Thank you!

Edit: winAPI would be used only for inputs, sound output, game window management, such as resize, StretchDIBits to put

"Hello again! I was right - I found Olen's son in the lab. I was lucky and managed to bring him unconcious - I tested my elecromagnetic pulse emitter bionics on others - and figured out, that there is a risk to fry brain along with the chip. And I also knocked out another two cyborgs - honestly, need to find more reliable way to do this. Anyway, I brought Olen there to help me with their now limp bodies and bring them to my reliable place, where I started to work on them. Somehow, it was delightful to pull out metal junk from their bodies.

Worried Olen

"Uhhh, I am sorry about my previous note... You see, I was desperate, and saw no way out of my personal horror, even in dreams... First I thought I can forget about everything if I would use enough drugs and alcohol, and after some time, when I spent all my poppy buds, I was looking for another way in those notes of researchers - found some dubious formulas, noted as ones that bring pleasure to test subject - and as I hoarded plenty of chemicals in my car, decided to try it. And tried more. They brought almost nothing, except pain - but this pain was so delightful and it shifted my focus from real life, so I stopped to care. I was only seeking new ways to enjoy my newfound sick passions. Tha

And the sweet sweet pain, I definitely looking for more! My poppy brew would never ever be something close I am a God and angel! I am thinking about recording my own music, it would be the best one! Salt the wound on the meat bicycle! Something is just rammed into my car, but when I got out, there was nothing there, how amusing! Omoshiroi-ne Yurusanai! Yurusanai! Zettai ni yurusanai!!!

"Found software. Doesn't even matter now where and how. Disks are decrypted. It was my complete biography.

My name is Hiroko Minazumi, 27 years old - was your typical rich parents kid, studiyng in university, doing sport, fancy clothing, good food in restaurants and what not so typical - drugs. Not excessive, but one time it was enough to send me into mental breakdown. And doctor Maiar did not hesitate to use this. He bribed my mental hospital autorities to convince my father to send me into better one. Where he had his own place to do his cruel experiments, in secret, of course. You see, Akio Minazumi - my father - was one of big figures leading all those experiments and he knew lots info

"Uh oh, season already passed. Sorry, had no time to write. And it was sometimes too hot to collect any thoughts. Guess, it is time to recall and recap, what happened. First of all, I found another laboratory, just as small as mine - yet full of useful stuff - namely bionics - and imagine what, a nursebot! My most useful finding there was a CBM labeled as "Telescopic Eyes" - well, not as scary, as it sounds - it is just lenses to replace the organic one. My sight was really bad, and didn't seem to return - so I installed it almost without hesitation. Near to the lab also was some kind of military bunker. I sensed six electrical signatures, while I was lurking through the woods. They were im

"Hello, hello! Glad you reading my silly notes again! Things are going really great! At least for me personally. I managed to find working house-on-a-wheels, while running along the roads, trying to find any city! It was pretty dented and three walkers, one in fire-resistant armor and in red helmet, were near it. Not too much of a danger, if you first set a trap to lure them into. Sadly, wheels only had very little burn-liquid - so now I definitely must to dive into city, if I would find any nearby.

And during the night I did that, only to see a sign on one of the small buildings - "Daniel Johnson, doctor's office". Ah, did I forget to mention, that I set one of the buildings on fire, to lu

"Yeah, it's me again. Things weren't going well. As I was lurking the laboratory complex, I heard some kind of horrifying scream nearby - "TEKKELI-LI TEKKELI-LI", and then from the corner its source showed itself, completely silent. It was like that slimes I have met earlier, ooze-like. But it had uncountable eyes and has growing-then-disappearing appendages. And it was huge, filling the entire hallway. Terror-stricken, I ran as fast as possible, as far away as I could, closing every door behind. Let's hope, that it woudn't be able to burst through them. On the other hand, I made safe other parts of the complex, luring brainless... zombies? on beams of cutting light, killing slime globs an

"Soooo, this laboratory complex is much-much smaller, than one in my dream. But at least, I have solved main issues with my health... I found test tubes, two of them labeled as plant serum and one as slime mutagen. As well as other types, like lupine, beast and also four tubes with purifier serum.

​

I took syringe, filled it with slimy thing - and broke a needle, when first tried to inject it. There are only few places it is doable, took me some time to figure, where needle could be inserted - almost every bit of my body has some type of convoluted armor under the skin. Good thing, there are plenty of syringes down there. When I pressed the plunger pain took me over and my cons

"Waking up is hard, really hard. Coulple days ago, I have dreamed about some kind of surgical machine and four-armed robot near it. No idea, if it was induced by withdrawal or glimpse of my previous memories, or maybe even by something else. I also found notes, some general and some about "subjects". They were researching something here. Experimenting on people. Some were experimented on with mutation-inducing shit, some with cybernetics. A few of them were brought here to be made into weapon. Something went really wrong with their experiments, no doubt... AHHHHH, pain, this metal junk in my body is killing me... my body refusing to heal, even with all this medicine I found here - need to fi
