i really dig it. can tell Koolalalalalala went all out with lighting.
defo agree there just vids i watched look quite detailed and spot on lighting effects
well, but you cant customize the cat, right?
wish that i could at least pick the color π
ue4
so no lumen?
who is lumen? :p
ue5 new lighting ?
ik, but yea its without lumen
skills > newest tech
hahaha
imagine it at 20fps?
activates big brain
while it already looks beautiful in UE4
well, overall lumen/vsm etc. seem to be quite the fps killers
at least that's what i take from #lumen so far π
ahh

thats really nice, considering it's >6 years old
yup thats cool
that cat has a harem?! π
Hey I'm not sure where to post this, but does anyone know how to set different depots in steam to download for specific languages? I have all the depots set to the different languages but when I select the language in steam it doesn't download it
ok
Why did UE move from Physx to Chaos again? Was it really license cost?
I thought Physx was free.
Tons of reasons
Not sure was physx was able to do that but Chaos is able to tick async
Better replication support in that case
More control too, Epic can roll out Chaos updates as part of game updates rather than relying on a third party installer which could cause incompatibilities/issues
As a non American, Roth IRA is the retirement fund right? And do you have to contribute to it yourself out of your own income?
That makes sense π€
401k is a pre-tax payroll deduction retirement account tied to stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. Roth IRA is similar but not payroll deduction. Both give you payouts until your account runs out of funds.
Some employers still have pension funds that pay from a specific age until you die, or your spouse if later, in some cases.
employers often offer, as a benefit, a fractional or full 401k match
@sand oxide I think Epic's coroutine library could be made for Verse, do you think that implementation can be a base for it's scripting layer?
Since there are rumours it'll be presented at Fortnite Creative 2.0 (late 2022), upcoming GC feature might be related with that too
That's sort of confusing.. Or maybe it's just me. What does 401k match mean? Is that where a new employer would match the contribution of the old employer?
no
its where your employer would match your contribution to your 401k
Oh
yeah π
I mean here in Australia is a legal requirement that your employer contribute to your retirement fund π
#america xD
Im super thanks for asking
Canada has similar tax advantaged accounts but I honestly forget what the rules are for employer contributions.
Exactly what ted said. My last employer matched 25% of my contrubution up to the first 4% of my salary, my current matches 100% up to my maximum legal contribution.
There's a maximum because if you're able to contribute 100% of your uncome, the IRS doesn't get to tax your income.
the one trick the IRS hates!
Hey, the only way anyone could get a charge to stick to Al Capone was the IRS for tax evasion on his criminal earnings!
no kidding eh, they have a reputation to uphold xD
Always pay your taxes on extortion, racketeering, and drug sale profits!
Yeah
honestly compared to the IRS and shiet Canada is really lacking in the anti-crime legislation/KYC/anti-money laundering
no RICO-style laws
Aure, pissing off SOCOM or the FBI is not ideal, but the IRS won't stop.
Yeah
but if you're a drug dealer and you kill a fed
you're royally fucked
the DEA will bring the hammer down on you
hell the whole weight of the US justice apparatus will come down lol
yeah, but I'd still rather face that than the IRS
well, if I get out after a drug hit, at least my wages won't be garnished
true lmao
but if you do have large sums of unexplainable cash, the police can seize it in some states (civil asset forfeiture)
tho in Canada the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) will also garnish your wages and even freeze accounts if you owe them money lol
but they usually don't fine you if you mess up your taxes, depending how bad it is
you usually have to be a repeat offender for them to come after you
irs will too, so if I have to do the same time in prison, at least I want my full mcdonalds salary
Yeah fair. Tho if you get hit with a felony you're options are basically mcdonalds or homelessness it seems. being a convict is no joke in america.
atleast thats the vibe i've got
As I understand it, a lot of that stems from a certain bias: many felons are poorly educated and wouldn't be getting non-service jobs to begin with, not without working their way up to it. I'm not making a comment on background, education, and criminal propensity, that's a horridly loaded subject.
Many employers will overlook felonies not related to their business though. Theft may well make it hard to get work as a hotel housekeeper or retail employee just as much as embezzlement makes it hard to work with company money or get a job doing anything in a bank or IP theft will keep you out of IT and engineering; at that point you are a verifiable risk.
Yeah that makes sense.
anyway, @deep copper and the rest of the usual talkers, care to get us onto a lighter topic?
Fruit... ninja?
pineapple stabbing grape?
That's murder... Fruit Murder...
hey, if he gets them all, is it a serial killer in one action?
... what is that...
An album with puns most delicious
Sounds like a rather not too lightweight talk tbh...
that's why I asked others to help!
π€¦ π€¦ββοΈ π€¦ββοΈ
been travelling too much for work, lots of stress, missing my wife and our home, not in the most jovial place
I'm cancelling my Euro trip because fuck leaving the few months of winter here for a heatwave in Europe haha
I'm just going to go when it's cold and grim, and I'll love it
and I'm looking at being home for 2 weeks after this 2 week trip before I spend a month in austria
I have nothing but learning UE planned for sept
just have to get some PC parts to upgrade my rig and get a rider sub and im good to go.
But on the flipside I also live with my parents lol, and winter in Canada can be long, miserable and dark
what sort of job has you travelling so much? thats gotta be exhausting π©
FSE II for a company that makes tools that make semiconductors, this is all training
damn eh
How's the travel?
Mandatory mask and quarantine still a thing?
nah
it's really busy at the airports
everyone's flying again, making up for lost time
I haven't been on a flight that wasn't overbooked
Aside from the random Activation, I created this one additional field on the gameplay ability activation section, placed it right, commented in the same style etc. Feel like a pro fucking dev, till I stumble on the most basic thing again haha
ye i heard schiphol is hell rn
no testing either, I got covid my first trip to oregon
F
oh damn eh
Guess the hysteria phase is over at this point, glad to hear that.
and 6th weeklong or longer trip since early may
jeez thats intense yo
Thats good to know, atleast you can look forward to that
and I mean we're already almost halfway thru the last week of the month, so its getting closer and closer to the year end.
yep
I just look forward to winter so I can complain about missing summer again
ugh... it's a birthday problem...
honestly by winter time I should have a taste of UE and Blender, enough to know how the next while is gonna be.
ye the classic birthday problem
(1/5)*(1/100) seems right, but it's not
when i was backpacking europe i was in the Guiness Sky Bar in dublin, and was having a pint.
some random people walk up, ask if they can share the table. i ask where they are from. turns out they are from the same city i am lol -_-
thankfully I'm in an apartment. But I get the evening sun and its freaking HOT π¦
that's the odds of any one person having a specific value, not the odds of any two people randomly matching
atleast till they get more of the new building next to me built
and it's skewed by statistics, but we lack enough info to know typical battery charge distributions, if time of day and time of hour impacts it, and cell tower distribution relative to population and impeding architecture
no point of talking about it until you have all those details and have been peer reviewed. or you'll just make a fool of yourself. π€ͺ
indeed
I'm still trying to get a grant for a study I proposed in another server...
It is often said that a broken clock is right twice a day(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8), but is this really true? In this paper, we investigate common failure modes of modern and historically common clocks and determine if they would be correct exactly twice in a 24 hour period.
meanwhile it was recently found out that alzheimers researchers faked a bunch of their results to get grant money -_-
it could be 40 pages of citations of that adage...
the whole amyloid beta plaque theory is basically in question afaik
aka the most promising results in the past while
guess they weren't really promising, just promised
sad really, its really the families that were given the hope that have really been shafted here ya know?
yeah
Are you sure about that π
I'm slightly concerned, but do continue to enjoy yourself.
Does that account for slow usage as well?
Less spicy take: The investigator for a short-seller group that was targeting the company making an alzheimer's drug is suggesting that some of the data may have been faked.
Although it seems believable given the lack of progress in Alz research.
A lot of research is faked or otherwise irreproducible, it's just how science goes
2k of those are slow usage
Your ability to make a living depends on publishing papers, while actual interesting topics and data aren't something you can just go fishing for
A friend of mine got a PhD (and masters) on one topic, yet made no real progress, aside from ruling out lots of possible/ proposed mechanisms of action that were theorised. Safe to say she's not winning any acolades for that
Disproving cold fusion has got to be worth an accolade, at least.
Are you talking about the old cold fusion experiment where the measurements were inaccurate?
I've been led to believe that someone proved that "cold" fusion can't produce more energy than it consumes.
No method of power generation does? One way or the other, energy goes in, efficiency losses occur, and energy goes out in another, more useful form
That ain't small - knowing what does not work. However, research is one of the most expensive things to do as usual. Therefore, investment either from the government or the business, is crucial.
π«
Sure, but she's a stubborn ass and held firm, but her supervisor wanted her to fudge to at least suggest they were close to finding the mechanism, even if it was disproven later. She did no such thing, but many would have cracked.
It's like, 8-10 years of effort on the line, giving in to the pressure just wrap things up is EZ
They are really closer, by removing the wrong options π
It sucks being in positions where your boss / manager want you to compromise on your professional integrity.
What the hell happened to VRChat?!
Nothing happened?
VRChat got fully negative reviews
They added Easy Anti-Cheat
Oh that's not good
you will be executed on march 28th, 2023
I think he is not okay, last few hours there were no ai posts.
Sorry I was crying in a shower
Are any of us here really ok tho π
fire gives nice warm hugs
You can have a few more angel (it's more variations of what I posted yesterday)
ah, all is fine
Everyone on the internet is a white man unless informed otherwise. Probably American, or Australian if I was guessing
π
lmao, Australia does not exist
Oh I confused them for another mod
Blue Man better be male and blue or I'm suing for false advertising.
...AI generated self portrait?
NewGrounds
But are you a toxic tank?
She's a whole website m8
Well that's a terrible naming choice lol
What idiot names something that terribly, after the obvious clash is announced
eww... mac developer
This dude really re-made scratch but worse, and called it the first product of its kind SMH
Blasphemy, ban him from #cpp
python syntax is just too much to type you see
Frankly, making BP nodes generating ue python might have been better
so much needless grammar...
imagine adding each + - etc operator by hitting way too many buttons, then aligning that
when you can just, + on a keyboard
TBF I use a graph formatter, fuck laying them out by hand like a peasant
Not sure about the wannabe part, but ye
my fuzzy-based layout is superior tho, no algo can match it
Is that Blueprint Assist, or another one entirely?
Ah, that's the creator of the linked tool haha
Their post got deleted off the Python sub, but they did not respond to criticism well
32 votes and 61 comments so far on Reddit
More like a person who does not want to touch bp, but is bored and wants to quickly slap them nodes.
I was just looking to see if he had any updates on that post that was a year old
Not sure verse can be a tm
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
at this point
tm?
trusted mechanically
No idea what that means TBH
Epic already announced it
the critics there are valid, but i can understand i guess, you spend so much time making this only to realise no one wants it
tho, maybe they didnt TM it? (kek)
It's not a visual scripting language
/environment I guess
It is text scripting language, this can pretend for lawsuit I imagine.
Once it's actually out and about, I wonder if they'll sue this project straight away
Would be a funny reversal from the Apple sitch
poor guy, already having no constumers, now a big company wants them out
He literally decided to (apparently) trademark a name he stole, for a product directly inspired by the creator's products. 100% deserves a wooping
Verse was announced, unofficially, first though (it seems)
Soooo any particular idea or an angel with purple hair?
why did they pick Verse though? as in the English poem verse thing?
If he doesn't sue Epic he'll void his own trademark anyway, by non-defence
Assuming US
can't he just say he didn't know they existed
After the first post literally citing Unreal Engine? Good luck lol
32 votes and 61 comments so far on Reddit
also why python xD that's literally the easiest language to type, takes least amount of words and syntax, did they hate indentations ?!
I was more wondering whether it allows such parameters. Say dark skinned with pink hair and blue eyes.
And Python is fun because of the silly one-liners, which would be more like 25 noders
you would think Verse would be a language by Meta right
That the joke part
every single word name is taken now a days
I saw in the supermarket the other day it looks like Googles parent company makes soup now
why are they all even trying so hard to come up with normal one word names
maybe use something that means nothing like google
i thought it didn't?
Brand recognition, and generic names get less bad connotations I guess
Google is the largest number isnt it
googol != google
Like Facebook sounds like the devil, Meta just sounds like a lame big co doing fuck all
Although it did inspire it, so
Mate sounds like the parent company of PornHub lmao
so smaller than infinite?
"Yeah I worked on video delivery platform for Mate Co."
Google changed though out of fear of losing the trademark right, because its become so synonymous with internet search
goo gel
Facebook was just like well Foculous Quest doesnt sound right π
i did hear about it but i forgot it all π
Nah, think it's because the other branches were too big to fall under Google still, and they got a bad name from the start with Google associations
Meta Quest sounds so bland tbh compared to Oculus Rift
well Oculus Rift sounds like it actually means something, its like a portal for your eyes into another dimension
they just raised the price of the Quest 2 btw π
and the unreal verse
Quest 3 when
This looks like Fortnite scripting language...
Tesla VR when
SetBuildingDisallow() xD
yeah it looks abit like UScript where you need the game code to get the most out of it
very much like the way state code used to be done though
so from now on all programmers will be named john
i wonder what that timestamp is for there
aaaaa
they removed it
ah, found it https://getverse.app/
i thought it was Epic's verse for a while
Wow that's misleading lol
Supporting is probably following the Twitter account or something vague. "Trusted" usually implies active usage/ reliance
I just love how all these product pages make their product sound like the first of its kinda. Everything's REVOLUTIONARY
ofc, if it's not then you won't get the support
but he is losing way too many points for authenticity
specially since their audience would be knowledgeable
verse is a gamechanger π
does anyone know what meta is upto btw?
i thought zuck was going all in on the metaverse thing? or do you mean a different meta?
also im getting some new ram and an SSD and i plugged it all into PCPartPicker and it only uses 328 watts lol.
i swear if the new 40xx series leaks are true about their wattage... fk
Me when Bible Verse
Bible Engine when
metaverse yes, but what exactly is metaverse about?
its a vague and ill defined concept at this point, i honestly have no idea what they are planning
Second Life with ads (more ads?)
I recall someone asking me that and i was like idk so i thought people here would know better xD
probably this honestly
i remember reading a few things in articles etc but nothing really sticks
theres nothing really ground breaking about it tbh
Fortnite, Roblox, and VRC are basically MetaVerse
hmm
The tech companies want everything you do online to be in the one place they have some control over
It's so ill defined they could change direction at any point. But right now everything they've stated resembles Second Life.
second life huh π€ i guess it's clear from the name but i will look into that anyway
What about Gmod
Sure, that too
so it looks like all of these are wannabe matrix
what if the metaverse was 2d
The only verse I'm interested is the MetalVerse. And UE Verse
please tell me MetalVerse isnt Apple
BrushedAluminiumVerse
It's the world where AC/DC are still gigging
lol I thought they stopped making Apple laptops cases out of the cans from the break room trash
i think the lips look good now
Yeah the last one is spot on
We have the old version of metaverse it's called Worlds.com since 1990s
vrc seems to be that
as far as i can tell
no wait also 3d
pretty sure that was a joke about facebook
so you're saying the metaverse isn't flat?
hairline is sus
well 2d anime games are still a massive seller on steam so seems to me the only way to get everyone together is in 2d
esp when you factor in all the eye sight issues etc
2.5d anime game?
That was the safest thing he could've fallen on in that room.
he's like a homing missile for the only stuff in the room
homewares π
million dollar idea: ceiling mounted harness for VR injury prevention xD
rent out an old sanitarium and let people play VR in the padded rooms
Or. Picture this. An upside-down bouncy castle.
I think if you spend enough time in VR you'll end up in a padded room regardless π
upsidedown castle you say....
dang
i just imagined luos saying that with a chicken in hand, (slight chicken shake on speech)
yup
does anyone know if all .sql files will work with postgres? or do i have to use mysql/mariadb?
Why I'm getting the impression that you dont know what is sql?
yes
So, if you google postgre + sql what happens?
eh just shows me postgres
I mean, it will work as long the content is compatible.
ok
However, as you dont know a thing, you better start with some basic tutorials.
i just wasnt sure if sql files can be specific to the database exporting the data
they can be
i can write sql i just wasnt sure on the file
You need to cover some gap of knowledge frankly, or you will get stuck pretty quickly.
Its fine Β―_(γ)_/Β―
random ue5 bug strikes again π
Im sorry, but garbage collection is stupid.
Hello helpers.
I have made a game. I build it and it created a .exe file aka application. But when I am clicking on it its not opening anything for me. Please guide me if I am missing something or doing something wrong
Messing with song lyrics again Fate will echo between the worlds Through the shores of the fallen souls
I just gave it those song lyrics and that's it
Hmm give me some lol
This was from a metal song
Have to cherry pick some pg13 from those lol
Not quite sure, lets see
Well it's doing something and I'm scared
Oh I have quality param set to 5 or 2 on some of those, it takes like 2-5 min to generate but the results are crazy good
Ah yeah if you on your trial it might not be a bad idea to leave it low
Have a feeling mj understood this about the same as I did lol

you can still be cannon fodder with no skills today tho
somethings never change
Actually... It kinda fits
Kinda
I've been looking at you for a while
It feels like it picked up that part but I might be imagining things lol
falling into that starry expanse, of which I had only a fleeting glimpse
not getting any "falling" here
Good question lol
It looks kinda nice tho
I had it retry, I think I like these better
I'm generating a few more nightmarish angels π
biggest takeaway from that meme is both makes sense
gives some anime film vibes
a small, non ambitious character lives through things where storytelling is happening via characters they are meeting
and chilfull, dreamy environment/ambient
Ok this is just one out of the new batch of angels, it looks sick
if a medieval painter would paint this, it might be on museums today
MJ born at wrong age π
Lol
I saw people asking for Joe Biden doing weird things.. and MJ painted that without any warning etc
was quite a wtf moment
You would be shocked what sick prompts people put in, I've seen my fair share π
Some people should be on an fbi watchlist or something
the weird shizzle I sometimes google would make my fbi agent go "yo, wtf" as well.
Lol π
ooh
speaking about that, here's an MJ query for you
"galactic tapeworm"
XD
(check moderator channel for the reasoning)
Tapeworm might be banned I think lol
a combustible lemon that burns your house down
Galactic worm went through tho lol
That one's beautiful, any more of this type?
I wonder if you could get MJ to generate these electron-microscope kind of effects
Yep, gonna post them in a few min
Upscaling at the moment
Hmm good question
fighting an army of mantis men
Also have like 50 of them so have to pick like 5 best one so I don't spam this channel lol
He's not just a regular moron. He's the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron who ever lived. And you just put him in charge of the entire facility.
Lol
trump? lower left?
Biden with one of the nk kim family hair on top right prob
I absolutely love these
Oh wow, nice β€οΈ
I love Spam!
merged with Carrot Top I guess? whoever it is has tiny hands since they never even make it out of the sleeves
that suit looks 20 sizes too big
@broken sigil shall we do an executive descision and just make a midjourney channel under social :p
the angels look awesome btw
I'm 100% for this π
Sounds good, you got my vote if that matters~
Also here is your Galactic worm
10/10 would send a gundam at it
Lol

A lonely life π
i can keep you company if you like
all the best hermits are isolated and alone
i wonder what they do all alone π
be unafflicted by the stupidity of the masses π
Probably training their arm muscle assymetrically~
wanna train? together we can be symmetrical!
No thank you, you can train with this orange instead π
Symmetry is hard as fuck, you need to do lots of work on it to achieve something even near parity, especially for arm stuff. Legs, well while walking there's not much preference, so both see a lot of use anyawy
This sounds like you're offering them a wristie TBH. Moved on from hugs I see π°
most probably a trick with how discord compresses images
but but! equilateral triangles!!
It must be some kind of software or website that combines two pictures together in this way.
Diagonals need right angled triangles SMH
It's clever but I can't seem to find any information about it.
Is it two pictures combined?
Might have something to do with steganography?
!server
The typing thing?
...no
no idea what that is but wanna try ?!
Oh I was thinking of stenographers
Oh weird, I reverse image searched and saw that it's two pictures. My bad.
That was me. 
Surprised you found that, it got removed.
But you got an answer π
thou who can google his questions will dominate the world
Hmmm, I did?
you wont dominate
Bruh that was me that made that reddit post LOL. 
Oh you're looking for like a tool to create those images
Yeah, I figure there must be something that people are using to make them.
I did just find this one though: https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/7okw9z/another_one_of_these_that_switch_with_the_theme/
This guy said he was working on a tool to do it, so I'm going to ask him if he managed to do it.
Why do you think it's not an APNG BTW
APNG's don't have the interlacing effect these ones do. APNG's work by being an animation that doesn't play until it opens in browser, so it shows 1 image for the first frame, then switches when opened.
These images have like an interlacing effect that seems to be accomplished via colour or lighting effects or something like that.
I'd think transparency more so, it's fully opaque initially, and then on a translucent background later
Yeah, true or that. I don't really mind how it's done tbh, I just know there must be some software that people are using to make these and I wanna find out how/what. 

That's a good one.
Did you make it?
I see one pic on my mac and another one on my phone π¦
Ahhh.
I'll save this one. 
HEY I think I found it maybe.
Yeah there's a mixed result thread too, but the comments are more descriptive
https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/abp4pn/you_know_those_images_that_change_heres_a/
# don't fucking ask me how this works 
It's a .py thing, do I need to download python or something like that to use it?
yes
Worth it. 
That, then pip install matplotlib
BTW that script won't work as is, it's got hardcoded paths and all
It will if you run it in a directory with Wheres-waldo-wally-google-maps-380.png being the "busy image" and kitty.png being the "inj" image
ooooh, okay, thank you! i'll try it out. very unexperienced with python so might take me a while. 
when you leave and join so your ranking is fresh again
That's a good one. I guess if there's too much blank space it reveals too much.
aww that's so sweet !! β€οΈ
That's how I see it too, @deep copper grown bolder by the day.
Hmmm, well it doesn't seem to be working for me.
I'm sure it's just cause i'm so inexperienced with python tho lol.
So, with this thing here, i copy and paste it in a notepad file and save it as a .py file, right?
But I have to changed the 'Wheres-waldo-wally-google-maps-380.png' and 'kitty.png' to the right image names right?
or have images with those names.
and i have to run it in a directory with those images
so, i've created a 'coding' folder and put all of it in that, would that do it?
Yeah it should
What do you mean not working?
All I get is this and then it stops.
I left it for like 10 minutes or so, but it hasn't done anything after.
BTW don't use IDLE, stay very far away
Just navigate to the folder in powershell, ez
oh well it didn't come out well, but it produced an output.
Nah works pretty well on my end
Why what's wrong with IDLE? XD
really you see a cat when you click on it?
Idle's great if you like pain
well at least it works for someone even if not me. XD
Thank you very much for your help btw!! :)
Now upskill in Python while improving that code snipper, to support command line input of filenames!
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_command_line_arguments.htm
Unity devs looking for any problems recently
theres nothing wrong guys. Unity is fine.
I cant see any problems
yo if you get a link from me for a Discord server dont click it. Got scammed into a dodgy server
Ooh, that sounds interesting. Having tried this I do want to improve at python now, could be a good skill. XD
What did you lost?
That one worked for me too
and the after:
Just checking, does this work for you?
for me it just like makes it slightly paler or something.
wow that's weird.
the other ones work for me just fine.
do you think the size of the images matters? i specifically made both of them 800x600. wasn't sure if it'd make a difference.
Seems like it doesn't work on images you post yourself, that's all
The one I posted doesn't work for me, assumin it works for you
This doesn't work for me.
Fair, inconsistent technique then. The image I copied and pasted did work for me though
Hmmm, that's interesting.
There's a version of it in UE if that helps?
I donβt think I can copy paste it out to the plug-in. Basically the plugins cef is out dated and βinsecureβ and Unrealβs built in does not handle pop ups in the same way so no good as is unless you can think of a trick that works. Blui is the plug-in
were you that desperate for free nitro?
So it's #generative-ai now?
I dunno, I hid it right away.
doesn't work for me
works for me
Nice!! 
also works
i am on phone and opening in browser shows me the other pic, while discord shows the first
What's the pics supposed to do?
All I see is some interlaced pngs
π€
Is it supposed to show something trippy or psychedelic?
Ah, ok, so what does the pics above supposed to do with the inserted data?
show funny image on click, download, etc. Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Wait, can it do malicious code?
If you render that code as an embedded image.
hey, for those who sell stuff on ArtStation, I just received a 7 cts commision on something I haven't shared and idk why
I just saw the asset on the marketplace, and i received a commission on it for some reason
does ArtStation just automatically promotes other products alongside yours and you earn a commision if someone buys it next to yours ?
if you are ambitious probably
Why not just ask ArtStation?
hows everyone doin' today?
better now that you are here! i was just looking for someone to hug !!
π
sometimes i hate onedrive
and how are you?
why would you only have one drive
I wondered what was up with this leaf crew, turns out its just newbies
I'm doing well. I'm playing some Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt. Its a nice little spin on the BR genre, with vampires and this nice cyber goth / alternative aesthetic. Otherwise I've just sort of being hanging out all morning. also I ordered some computer parts last night to get my rig ready for UE5, woo woo (just some more RAM and an SSD lol)
can you get cybernetic vampire enhancements?
yay ! sounds like the perfect chill part of your week rn !! π» π§ 
I wish honestly, thatd be lit
what would that even be like π€
they are so close
i can see why people like vampires
Theres a fair bit of twist on BR mechanic already. you regenerate instead of bleed out when you get downed. you can feed on civilians but don't let them see you! you can run and jump around, assasins creed style. that sort of thing.
that sounds kinda cool
hi 
its pretty sweet honestly, but its pretty hard. theres some serious sweats lol
sweet and sweat does go well together!
lmao tru
and i recall gamers saying "hard games are fun, easy games are boring"
exactly
so good!
would explain too why the dark souls series is so so popular
or even the cult popularity of dwarf fortress haha
i guess there's some fame to gain if you do something cool in those
definently
and the newest title in dark souls was acclaimed enough to get GRRM aboard
oh that's nice !
like could you imagine getting your favourite author to write some of the story?
"yo stephen king? how do you feel about writing some sci-fi psychological horror?"
umm Stephen King has written some sci-fi
yeah you're right, but he doesn't do it too often
tho i guess dreamcatcher and cell are fairly sci-fi in terms of ideas or atleast modern
I actually quite liked The Tommyknockers and The Running Man
Hell yeah, right i forgot about those two.
hes written a lot of books at this point tho xD
those are probably as close to scifi as he gets though, Gunslinger is more fantasy same with IT
yeah Needful Things is like Thinner, its more about curses
Firestarter has a slight bit of scifi but I think that sort of supernatural power like The Shining and Dr Sleep is more fantastical
plus honestly he might be down to work on video games. Hes worked on other peoples IP before. He wrote the intro arc to American Vampire (a comic) and its insanely good. correction: he wrote every other arc for the first five issues lol (5 arcs total as each issue had two arcs intertwined)
unfortunately these big names dont always make super amazing stuff, like Spielberg, he can be amazing but also can tank
I watched that Under the Dome show, it wasnt terrible but you spend the entire time waiting for something to happen
Yeah eh.
The Green Mile on the other hand, masterful
Yeah for sure.
I read Under The Dome as a teen so its been awhile but it was alright.
I feel like SK writes people losing their mind really well lol, like total community breakdown
(this is the book tho mind you)
yeah The Stand was really good for that, few crazy people in that π
I've always wanted to read The Stand but its so daunting lol
and I already have two massive tome-esque books on my To-Be-Read list lol
Ive only seen the older TV Mini Series
I feel that
I kinda wish Spielberg and King would work together, they could get this crazy mix of Cujo and Jaws
That'd be wild, they probably have similar sensibilities given their proximity in age. plus they both probably know some of the same people.
well given that their both celebrities anyway lol
yeah if they do something adult orientated, Im not sure Stephen King would be interested in working on something aimed at kids or teens
yeah good point lol
Spielberg does kinda like his kids movies but the dialog in The Goonies is so well written, then again... King did Stand By Me
They could probably pull it off if it was a story that was like either of those
i really think it would come down to the project itself
well hopefully we get lucky
I always forget Josh Brolin was the older brother in The Goonies
nah, I saw it advertised
the husband in that movie.. its data from the goonies lol! his real name is Ke Huy Quan
talk about a career comeback, he slayed in that film ngl
slick shoes
xD
apparently he worked as a stunt coordinator after the goonies for some time, and then came back to acting for this new movie lol
its a super good movie ngl, perfect balance of drama/action/comedy lol
I kinda like when actors are more regular looking people rather than all pretty celebrity
I agree
Ke has insane emotional range too. That movie took me places i didn't expect to go.
gah my watchlist keeps growing, I cant get through it quicker than I add things π¦
The Boys was really great but the fact its a serial bugs me alittle bit, that it feels like it goes full circle every season and we never get anywhere
that said atleast there is consistent payoff, when its all a big build up you start to worry if it'll be worth it
ye
i get what you mean
don't want it to be all smoke no bang
plus theres a few shows on apples streamign service that i've been meaning to watch too F
yeah that and some shows have these silly tie up episodes where everyone lives happily ever after, like a Fast and Furious bbq
lmao
i know what you mean
the fandom is terrible but I think Rick and Morty consistently hits its story beats, even if the ideas are zany af lol. Dan Harmon is a fairly capable writer imo, but he did do community too so
but after seeing some of the stuff Justin Roiland is workign on now, id say some of that zaniness is just Roiland lol
yeah Ive not watch the animated The Boys at all
me neither lol
Getting stray vibes...
whast the best RTS ever made?
Is warcraft 3 and C&C red alert considered any good? Those are the only ones I played, years ago.
EVE
just to throw a wrench in the formula
Long time ago indeed, didn't follow RTS news much, is there any new ones aside from starcraft?
MOBA kinda kill the RTS market.
AoE 4, Company of Heroes 3 is coming, Homeworld 3 is also coming
Dune and Starship Troopers themed RTSes came out in the last few weeks
its a shame the graphics in the Starship Troopers one arnt alittle better
Strangely busy in the rts genre this year
I'll probably get Dune after its out of early access
not sure if its a tie in with the new film or not, I couldnt tell from what I saw
I thought it was partly a 4x game (3x? 4w?)
Silly me, they call it a real time 4x game.
when we gonna get some 5x games
Expand explore exploit exterminate ex-plicit content?
so maybe 6x then
explain
because I feel like there needs to be an extreme in there
if it's not a verb you're not trying hard enough
Why does that article exist?
I can see a 90x game is going to require heavy religious themes
Which channel should be used if someone have a question about 3d modelling?
#animation ?
It was a blender question, not sure whether there's a more suitable channel for that.
Guess so, dude went to the wrong server.
I need a new Wargame
for WW3, with modern weapons
hrm... I can suggest conflict of nations
@quaint basalt @gusty star every game dev job I've seen for the programming side is for senior programmers with 2+ shipped games and all that
I have one shipped game... for iphone... 12 years ago...
I've got like 4 YoE in web dev, but I bet no HR person would even forward my resume to the hiring teams anyway
I might try to just do web consulting to get a bit of cash instead of a real time job, and fund game dev and self publish. Hire out the art and audio to friends I've made from game jams
you might be able to find some people here with Mannys assistance (the bot) as well ngl
That's the dream, do quick lil contracts, recover from intense game dev, and then go back to it with fresh energy
Oh there's a GameLoft using UE in my city, but no programming jobs
I basically can keep working on whatever I want until my parents either kick me out or I burn myself out lol, but on the flip side I can't afford to hire anyone without revenue streams ie shipped games
ah sorry i just saw that ryobg
I'm not employed ATM so is it really a career π€
Game deving aint become rich game
microtransactions and lootcrates
crypto conquering
I got a revshare job with Unreal but someone was quick to point out to me it's not a real job either
The money goes to execs, not the developers
Established revenue you're happy with, sure it's a job. If it's a promise... well
yeah that true, and its certainly a lot of upfront work before you even have a product that can make you money lol
They also refuse to use Trello because it's a "hobby" I found out today π
money always goes to execs
More so in games though, since people want to do the job and accept less
trello is a hobby?
Nah their project was a hobby one, so they didn't want to organise at all because YOLO
This company's generic name has Umbrella Corp vibes
https://www.artstation.com/jobs/c/metaverse
coughs wtf is that
more crypto insanity
waves his arms fanatically "metaverse"
How the fuck do you prevent UE from opening things in new windows randomly
It's pure insanity. The algorithm for new tab vs new window is a fucking D4 dice roll
RIP I got a job offer, with a start date in 5 weeks time
Was nice making progress on the game π
Honest question, do people really go to gamedev for the money?
I'd assume not, doesn't pay too well but it's interesting/challenging, and people want to work on them for the sake of working on cool games
I mean, isn't that sort of, umm, there's better/similar paying jobs with less burden around compared to gamedev.
Sure, and I turned down a betting job for ~30% more than what this offer is, yet I'm seriously considering this offer
You summarize the point better than I did.
Once you're comfortable, incremental $ changes matter less than being happy doing what you do
Congrats on your job offer btw, what field did you go with this time?
discord community manager
The usual, backend dev but this time with microservices too
Nah m8, full time dog walker doing 20 hours per week
fit dog
Nah gotta walk many dogs if you want that $$$
Job sounds like it comes with a lot of drools
bump it up to per day
*gif lords
Ugh it's got commentary
That interview is a prime example of why people get media trained. Literally any time he was about to make some point the interviewer derails that and makes him say something embarrassing
Interviewer is an average a hole then.
Ima play OOP lecture for a background noise
haha sorry i shoulda emoji reacted, i remember this story
He's just an average American interviewer, pushing you to say something they want you to say.
The BBC ones are more fun though, no matter what the interviewer believes they will be asking you devil's advocate style questions and actually let you answer them. That produces enough braindead takes in itself at times lol
its more than the BBC, the British tabloid media is a force to be reckoned with lol.
Oh the tabloids are flaming hot trash, but the entire Anglosphere is basically one dude's media empire
BBC at least don't push a consistent narrative on everyone, and produces interesting interviews
Yup, at least he's no longer Aussie haha
NZ seems to have escaped unscathed, somehow
Yeah and BBC has/had some lit radio shows. annie mac and all that (i think, if im remembering right haha)
Would I Lie To You is top notch TBH
lmao that sounds awesome, haven't heard of it before
Unless you don't speak English as a first language, then you don't catch a single word because people talk fast as fuck haha. Tried to watch it with a French housemate and they caught practically none of it
yeah that makes sense
my one buddy is french canadian heritage wise, but very western canadian and even he has trouble with british accents lol
8 out of 10 Cats is similar in that sense
but so funny lmao
I remember chatting to a French Canadian band both before and after the gig, except I drank and they couldn't understand me any more after haha
Canada is just cold Australia right?
lmao!
yeah pretty much, theres maybe not as many dangerous animals but here they usually live in the woods and unless you live fairly rural / on the edge of a city then you dont see them much
Parts of Canada are fairly American tho, given our proximity and the popularity of US based media.
like when I was backpacking people thought I was american / mid-western based on accent even
DW that happens sans-proximity too
I saw more people protest US mask freedumb and Roe vs Wade than fucking gay marriage rights here
There are freedumbs in Canada too, there was this wierd trucker convoy to Ottawa to protest restrictions lol -_-
OMG the riff finally makes sense, melted ears when I was trying to figure out WTF was happening
https://www.instagram.com/p/CfPOIrjFdvG/?hl=en
but they are investigating the organizers of the trucker convoy for various reasons
yeah some things dont really click until way after it seems
i learned some stuff in art school that years later only really made sense lol
I heard someone talking about amendments here at a supermarket haha
Rammstein's Amerika song makes more and more sense every day
Yeah it doesn't bode well for anyone if the top dog democracy with a nuclear arsenal and military power several times over everyone starts to internally melt down
i dont think the reactors gone critical yet tho so to speak
tho the trump years were super divided and rhetoric was heated but this recent supreme court stuff is even wilder ngl
America hasn't changed much. In fact, that seems to be the issue.
Can't say the same about Games-as-a-service. Warframe has changed too much.
Fortnite removed building or so I heard. Risky play if true.
Apex mode
Ironically the popularity went up lol
A lot of people (me included), did not even want to try it while it had the spammy building mode
I tried the new mode and didn't stick, but I'm sure many, many new players did
c++ party quiz:
template <typename T> int f (T& t) { return 1; }
template <typename T> int f (T&& t) { return 2; }
int f (signed char t) { return 3; }
int f (unsigned char t) { return 4; }
int f (int t) { return 5; }
int main () {
auto c = 'c';
std::cout << f (c) << f ('c') << f ('c++') << f ("c++");
}
What is this going to print?
Ofc, no point of cheating yourself.
I admit, I got wrong one.
Is this dependant on language versions? Feels like it is haha
Say modern c++, && but not really.
3412?
More I thought about it, the less sense any of it made, so I stopped thinking entirely. It's all about the feel.
Hmm.. zero matches
Anyone with itch.io know whatβs wrong? I put my game on itch like 3 hours ago and when I try to find it with another account it doesnβt show up even though itβs public. To find my game I have to search my username and find the game there.
I can find my ones TBH, even though they are generic as
Maybe they're just not indexed in the search yet?
This may just be the best game ever created
https://sk0g.itch.io/solar-system
Looks fantastic
Everything I posted seems to be correct but I canβt find it and when I search my name it says 0 games published but i can click it and find the game thatβs clearly published lol. Maybe itβll show up by tomorrow hopefully
it takes a while lol
you put it on the page 3 hours ago
itll take at least 24 to update everything
I saw games in the recent that claim they were put up like an hour ago but yeah your right iβm probably just being panicky
you are panicky.

I'm saying either 3322 or 1222
I'm saying 1 2 ? 2, ? because I didn't even know a multi character char compiled
apparently it's 1251
I guess const strings are preallocated somewhere so taken by reference
How the hell does that make sense lol
well the first makes sense, you have a char var, so it's by reference
the second is an rvalue, so for optimization it would go for the && operator
the third again, no clue why that compiles
and this is my guess for the fourth
They are preallocate, basically stored together with static variables
Yeah I was going by what matches the signature the most
I also wonder if this is compiler dependent
Also that 5 makes absolutely 0 sense
the 'c++' being an int?
Yeah
it does give a warning though
I have a suspicion that this might not produce the same result on different compilers
Hm that 5 is still a mystery to me
Is that UB territory, it is very sus that it treats as an int
The most logical would be to me at least 1222 or 1221
I guess multiple characters don't fit in the memory of char so it's going for int
but why it allows multiple characters in a char thing is still crazy
never knew that was possible
Yeah same
Wonder if it would choose wchar if it was an option
But then again why didn't it choose 1 or 2 is still a question
it defaults to int even with wchar_t overload, but it can be implicitely casted to wchar_t if you assign it to one
What about optimisation levels?
This is definitely stepping into slightly UB territory I feel like
And the fact that msvc don't warn is slightly worrying
This is some Javascript level stuff for sure
You'd likely be able to, with some anti-UB compiler options. I hope...
apparently it's defined that multi character literals are stored as integer type
can anyone recommend a laptop with good battery life for working on Unreal Engine? (I already have a PC, I want to work remotely sometimes)
I guess char == uint8, many chars == them combined into an int?
Implementation defined value π₯²
up to four would make sense
Ofc it's a thing.... Because it makes 0 sense lol
Especially the part where it's implementation defined π π₯² π
cheater
the third is common way to promote to int when cant fit in char. It allows some nice quirky syntax.
The last makes sense when you consider it is const char*
never say never
I have seen it several times.
i think opencv uses those in part iirc
I'd hope most code reviews would quickly decline this, unless it's a common thing for the project
... and maybe (kek) wrote it myself, ago.
you're fired
Still wondering in what situation is that useful
iirc was more about documentation.
this seems like semi useful use
so, say you assign consts
then by expanding it like that you can get better understanding of why exactly that value
ah, there
implementation-defined nuff said
impl.defined is pretty useful to know
Many things have that same status
e.g. you all rely on char being signed
But is impl. defined.
