it's like hardware you can reconfigure on the fly

[primal summit]

basically a chip with a reprogrammable instruction set and architecture

[thin geyser]

nah man I didn't mention any hardware

[gusty star]

interesting

what are the use cases for it?

[trail wedge]

software defined radio for 1

[thin geyser]

I meant colour coding games in unreal using the LUT

[gusty star]

thats pretty cool

[thin geyser]

wait is that the alternative that they use other than mcu?

[primal summit]

want it to run arm? no problem! need to reconfigure as an 8086? Done! DSP sitting next to a small processor to handle IO? No problem!

[gusty star]

lmao ah okay

wierd

[thin geyser]

oh ya this is really cool

[primal summit]

very useful

[trail wedge]

https://hackaday.com/blog/?s=FPGA

[gusty star]

technology can be "magic" sometimes ngl

[thin geyser]

but i haven't got into hardware at all still

[trail wedge]

lol

[primal summit]

need more IO and a different instruction set than available on the market? FPGA

[thin geyser]

oh damn

gameboy running on hdmi

[gusty star]

wild

[zinc matrix]

electric perfection

[thin geyser]

really wild

[zinc matrix]

such a tiny discord between running the hardware mario bros on HDMI

[regal pecan]

Alternately, you can spend gobs of money developing and manufacturing an asic.

[zinc matrix]

i bet is a good exp

[trail wedge]

oh yeh they use them for Bitcoin miners too

[zinc matrix]

well 3 minutes

if this is the time i stop using discord

oh!

feels revolutionary to me actually

but i am yet to understand PCBs

or any other more technological build

can i get my pute cables made out of carbon nano?

[regal pecan]

That's got to be more than two threads. 'he' is the second word but comes last.

[primal summit]

I see it as a race condition and he lost

[noble plaza]

Bro wat
https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/wajbby/got_my_first_programming_job_last_month_and/

lead developer with 1 month of experience in total lol

[cursive crypt]

I'm such a c++ simp sometimes, this is beautiful alien language:

[[]] ([] () [[]] {} = {}) ();

[trail wedge]

that's misleading... they said they had been programming on their own for years

nothing was really that odd in that situation, it happens everyday. Ultimately some jobs actually care more about what you can do than your credentials

[noble plaza]

Since they were 11? Majority of that time would have been some random simple stuff, most certainly following weird practices due to being self-taught, etc

Programming isn't even a big part of the job TBH, gathering requirements and planning shit is bigger, which you just don't have to do much of solo

[trail wedge]

nah I've been programming since I was around 10.... I think you're not considering some people get more involved

[noble plaza]

Second message

[trail wedge]

well anyway I'm also self taught, had almost no documented experience, no degree, and also got a lead dev job @ 22

[trail wedge]

yeh I read it

[noble plaza]

Programming is a small part of it, working in a team, architecture planning, dealing with business side/ requirements, etc is much trickier

[trail wedge]

ok

that doesn't change anything about what I said

[noble plaza]

If you put down on your resume that you got a lead job with 1 month of experience, most serious companies will laugh at that title

[trail wedge]

I'm not disagreeing with your point

[trail wedge]

ok and?

why does he care he already has a job

[noble plaza]

Because he's 11 months away from job hopping time 😄

[trail wedge]

lol nah

I was at my last job for 10 years

[noble plaza]

Oof that's a lot!

I'd just always be tempted by like 30-50% pay raises to stick around for too long

One company actually promoted me and gave me pay bumps so I stuck around for a bit longer

[trail wedge]

that's what happens when you're paid whatever you demand and your boss thinks everything you do is actual sorcery

never work for big companies

that's just asking to be abused for no reason

[noble plaza]

It's just different, the scale of problems are an entirely different thing

[primal summit]

I spent 15 at my first out of college

[noble plaza]

I got bored of having a stable infra, server, etc. Not much new shit to be done, just more of the same. Felt like I was unlearning things

[trail wedge]

no in a small company you can just ignore the one asshole blocking you and just do stuff anyway

[primal summit]

and then 2 at a shitty startup

[noble plaza]

wat

You don't sit around doing nothing while waiting for PR review or whatever

[trail wedge]

yeh you want a small/medium size semi-old business

[trail wedge]

small companies don't do PRs, and you need peers for them anyway

[noble plaza]

That's not a good thing for me

[trail wedge]

why? nobody to stand in your way... or do you like talking at your coworkers until they understand why you're right

[noble plaza]

If that's what you think PRs are, you've either had bad culture at previous jobs, or you've contributed to it

[trail wedge]

ok sure

[primal summit]

I use startup generously. The founder had been working on the tech for 5 years before starting the company that made it 10+ without even having a product or consistently promising results

[noble plaza]

PRs are for collaborating on finding the best solution, and get a second look at any bugs that might have crept in. They have been positive experiences at most places I've worked at, a knowledge exchange of sorts

[trail wedge]

10+ years with no product.... sounds like a ghost ship

[trail wedge]

I know what they're for, but all the jobs where I've had to do them have been populated by idiots and people who barely can communicate much less program (government work)

[primal summit]

PR?

[trail wedge]

Peer Review

[noble plaza]

Government jobs is your problem though, you have to find the right company with smart people that care about what they're doing. You can detect a lot of that in interviews

[trail wedge]

I only care about being paid and not being hassled; idc about company culture tbh

[primal summit]

in my field that's a design review

typically a board

[gusty star]

yeah

panel critiques are another name as far as i've heard

critiques in art school suck tho, sure its different with professionals

[noble plaza]

Fair, I care about improving professionally through PRs and collaborating with smart people, so we have different priorities

[trail wedge]

I care about my own work but that doesn't happen at a company I'm not the head of (I've had a few)

other than that I'll make whatever stupid shit they pay me for

they can listen to my advice or ignore it

[noble plaza]

I care about the work I do, whether I'm paid for it or not 🤷‍♂️

[trail wedge]

I only care about the work I'm not paid for (because that's stuff I chose to do)

[noble plaza]

I got my second job by someone being happy with something I did on my first one, so it's got some value too

[primal summit]

more like 6 hour meetings of the designers, subject matter experts, and integration staff who've already reviewed their areas individually to make sure the modules meet their stated specs sitting down and making sure those specs meet requirements and play nicely.

[noble plaza]

That sounds like some dinosaur waterfall shit

[primal summit]

but a single slipup that takes 30 seconds to fix costs $30k+ and a month to discover in the prototypes and fix

[trail wedge]

people are always happy with my work, even if I have to argue with them to get them pointed in the right direction so that's never been an issue

I'm not saying I do a shitty job or something; I just ultimately don't care if it ends up as a good product due to decision I didn't make.

[gusty star]

damn eh, yeah makes sense given your example ngl

design is like 99 percent planning it feels like

[primal summit]

physical stuff is a whole different world, I come from electronics

[gusty star]

tho execution does matter ofc

[primal summit]

a code problem is an easy fix

[trail wedge]

I agree planning is much more important for hardware

[gusty star]

I was studying illustration but I dropped out in year two so... half a degree isnt worth shit professionally

indie route is really all I can manage these days

[trail wedge]

degrees only matter for your first job; everything else will be based on experience (unless you leave your first job before 3-5 years)

[gusty star]

Yeah thats fair. I'm Canadian tho and a lot of game devs are US based. You basically need a Degree for a green card ;/

plus I was doing graphic design before this and only recently got into game dev, so different field anyway. and Graphic Design is weird qualification wise imo

but YMMV I guess.

[primal summit]

or if you're going into a hardware field in defense aerospace or a TLA wrapped in a clearance

[trail wedge]

you don't want to live here this country sucks

[trail wedge]

yeh I live in the DC area, I'm well acquainted with clearance jobs

I worked for a DoD contractor

[gusty star]

true but also the $$$ is crazzzzzzzy

US tech salaries are always higher vs Canada

[noble plaza]

Sounds kinda toxic considering the pressures. IDK if you've worked in software, but do you just do many more meetings? How do you align the very different fields and concerns?

[trail wedge]

and then take the cost of living out (all the tech places are way overpriced)

[gusty star]

true haha eh

[primal summit]

Meetings are rare but serious and can be long. A typical weekly status update might be an hour, but a design review after 6-18 months working on the project, expect a day. Test result reviews and DFM reviews might only be 2. None with fluff.

[primal summit]

and good PMs make sure everyone's on the same page

[gusty star]

I think the point of the longer meeting addresses that second concern sk0g, its sorta why its so long cuz those conversations are nuanced and highly dependent on the project

[noble plaza]

How did you fare during the component shortage? Would small part changes, EG, require something like an RFC that's open for comment, in essence same as a software engineering PR?

[primal summit]

I hear in software a PM might have 30 projects, in hardware he might have 5, and if it's a simple design he might also be a lead engineer on one

[noble plaza]

I just can't imagine sitting in one place for 6 hours and not checking out in an hour or two haha

IDK in software 'project' can be nebulous, especially at not-big co. I've more commonly worked with helpful business analysts, who bridge the team lead <-> business gap

[primal summit]

depends on the part and company, but a simple resistor or fet might only need to be signed off by component engineering while something more critical would take a partial redesign and another batch of emi and compliance testing over a couple months

[trail wedge]

I just had a 6 hour planning meeting yesterday lol

[noble plaza]

Some (BAs) were just Jira or Kanban or whatever the fuck zealots that thought dedicating hours every day to constantly talking about one simple process everyone has been doing for years is a good use of time

[trail wedge]

also don't you sit at your desk for about 8 hours every day?

[noble plaza]

When I was a team lead our CEO was too much of a coke addict to be in a meeting for that long haha, got away easy

[gusty star]

pfft try like 10 or 12 hours, salary-man mode /s

[primal summit]

EE, ME, CE, and IE are for people who can focus and care a lot about the details

[noble plaza]

Not straight, no. I walk around every now and then, make coffee, walk around the garden to think about somethingetc

[trail wedge]

salary is just a way to get scammed into working more hours

[gusty star]

cries in indie dev

[trail wedge]

sometimes I sit here for 12 hours without realizing how long it's been haha

[noble plaza]

I'm always on salary and worked > 8 hours maybe 5 days in the last 5 years, usually voluntarily

[gusty star]

Noice, thats the way right there imo

[trail wedge]

ok it's not always bad; it's just abusive for a large portion of salary jobs

[noble plaza]

Oh I know, GF works in science and holy fuck that's a mess

[primal summit]

the details can mean the difference betwern success, a minor failure that injures someone or destroys something, or something that does hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and kills a lot of people

[noble plaza]

She got like minimum wage + 30%, and would work 12-15 hour days at times

[trail wedge]

yeh this isn't even close to the worst field for salary (not that game dev isn't known for crunch)

[primal summit]

therac-25, for instance

[gusty star]

When I worked in the service industry as a line cook, the salary trope was pretty bad at some higher end restaraunts. Same trope of taking passionate people who will do more work for less pay and get shafted by salary. Its really the owners that made out like robber-barons (usually), since the head and sous chef were so deep in the operation of the kitchen lol, like constantly on-site and working during the rushes, etc etc

[noble plaza]

Yeah we had that as a case study at uni!

[primal summit]

or arianne-5

[primal summit]

Good!

[noble plaza]

I did do a generic engineering first year though, before specialising in SWE for 3

[primal summit]

seriously though, look up the first arianne 5 launch!

hilarity!

[noble plaza]

Yeah was just reading its Wiki page 🙂

[primal summit]

almost as amusing as the therac-25 or the dam collapse in michigan a year or 2 back

[noble plaza]

Therac-25 is just terrifying, this one's just dumb

[primal summit]

both are software glitches that could or did kill people

[noble plaza]

So they included buggy code that they didn't need, and data conversions locked up and wrecked the entire thing, burning away thousands if not millions of man hours

[primal summit]

yep

no one checked that the new model's higher acceleration wouldn't overflow a buffer

[noble plaza]

Low-level dev is fun though, I think my GF is going to force me to do a project for her soon. I'm kinda keen 💪

[primal summit]

if you have a web service with an error like that, it's not the end of the world

[trail wedge]

get a FPGA just to fool around with

[primal summit]

if you have a hardware service...

my fpga-fu is weak

[noble plaza]

I've noticed a lot of similar issues get noticed but never get flagged because people are afraid of being wrong/"dumb". A manager told me it's one of my strengths, asking lots of "dumb" questions to spark discussions

[primal summit]

good!

[noble plaza]

A hard quality to sell haha, "I'm good at asking dumb questions, trust me it's helpful"

[primal summit]

the world needs more people who aren't too smart for their jobs

those guys make so many mistakes

[primal summit]

Dilligent, thorough, good attention to detail, team-oriented

[noble plaza]

The moment I'm comfortable at a job, I know it's time to leave. You learn so much by doing new things, I couldn't imagine missing out on it

[noble plaza]

Ha that does sound a lot better! TY

[primal summit]

metallica, I disappear?

[noble plaza]

I saved a quarter (?!) of a company's then hosting/ SaaS bills once. I got laid off 3 months ago 😄 Not salty though, the economy is what it is

[noble plaza]

Not intentionally! Don't think I've heard that one much though

[primal summit]

on one of the mission impossible soundtracks

[gusty star]

ya'll wanna see a short gif of an A* implementation in Unity for a 2.5 D game? Its basically all I have portfolio wise haha, I'm super fresh 😬

[noble plaza]

Oh fair, I think I haven't heard much past Metallica, the first few albums were sick. Frantic's okay too though

[noble plaza]

yess

[gusty star]

might have to click on it and wait for it to load for a sec to see it lol

those green and red dots are 3d primitives that i generated to represent walkable tiles and non-walkable tiles

and the blue line, while unoptimized, is the path lol

theres also some rudimentary UI visible including a working game clock (w/ day/night cycle), a town name that you can input in the starting menu, and some buttons that just sort of add tiles to a list for further use programming and gameplay wise lol

[noble plaza]

Ah nice! If you polish it up a lil you could embed it into your own website and it'd be pretty sweet

Reminds me, I have sk0g.dev but I've done nothing with it

[gusty star]

yeah eh!

I guess you could always link your github if you have commits on it or something, tho honestly maybe its time to start thinking about your site (so you can choose the best presentation)?

[noble plaza]

Pretty much anything interesting I've done has been for jobs, or throwaway utilities I wanted then

[gusty star]

Ah yeah eh

[noble plaza]

https://github.com/sk0g/mac-menu-spotify-song-title

This is my favourite thing I've done TBH

[gusty star]

word dude thats pretty hype, that plant classifier sounds pretty cool too ngl

[noble plaza]

TY! What I'm most happy about with my repos is how absolutely random they are. I just don't want to be an X developer, I just like solving technical problems whatever they may be, and you can see it there too

[gusty star]

the only thing I can really claim credit for on my github is this as the rest are mods, tho this is still pretty close.

https://github.com/EdWordy/Mod-Loader-X

[noble plaza]

Like once you get a few jobs in one area or language, recruiters think you are only capable of working with that forever

You voluntarily wrote Java 8! That's intense

[gusty star]

I think you're nailing that goal, one of the things I noticed was your use of many different languages haha

yeah

honestly it was insane

because there was a working modloader written in python that works fine

and i was like "well what if you re-wrote it in java????"

[noble plaza]

- dot point
- [ ] unticked box
- [x] ticked box

[gusty star]

oooo okay ty

[noble plaza]

Also you can do headers, by prepending the line with #

- H1, #### - H4, etc

[gusty star]

ahhh noice thank you hella

[noble plaza]

People usually rewrite in things that are nice to work with haha, but this looks like a fun project regardless

[gusty star]

ikr

[noble plaza]

Kotlin may help restore your sanity though

[gusty star]

Java actually wasn't a bad lang to start developing in tho

Made the jump to C# pretty easy

[gusty star]

tho maybe C# is just easy to learn

[noble plaza]

Oh yeah, C# and Java are quite similar

C# 1 was Microsoft's Java, they diverged a bit later

[gusty star]

Yeah eh

The choice made sense at the time as I had friends who were C# developers and I could pick their brain

but I feel that lol

I'm stoked to learn C++ and develop in UE come sept tho

[gusty star]

Is this a code sample of Kotlin?

[noble plaza]

Yeah, Kotlin + TornadoFX (JavaFX wrapper)

[gusty star]

Ah okay

it looks clean ngl, i dig it

[noble plaza]

If you're just starting though, I'd recommend sticking with one for a while

If you want to do UE, UE's C++ is fairly close to Unity's C# TBH

A little bit less nice, but a lot of the sharp edges of C++ aren't a concern here

[gusty star]

Good to know, the syntax seems similar enough. Theres just a couple new operators to learn, and the whole single capital letter prefix naming convention, among other things haha, atleast in my brief looks at some UE code

[cursive crypt]

hmm...

[gusty star]

The hot reloading thing kinda gets me tho, but I'll adapt haha

[noble plaza]

EG a simple little subsystem in UE C++
https://gist.github.com/sk0g/7dbab07e954f9e6ce8824886bf8cc037

[noble plaza]

Yeah the booting engine on header changes etc sucks, but I just got fast storage to counteract it 🧠

[gusty star]

That seems to be the workaround eh?

[noble plaza]

It works till your project size catches up I guess 😄

[gusty star]

i bought a NVMe PCIe gen 4 4.0 1TB so i think im covered hehe (western digital black sn850)

but yeah hmm

good point

[noble plaza]

Oof nice, my laptop only supports upto Gen 3, so that's what I have. Next one will have DDR5 and Gen 5, probably

[gusty star]

the way I'm developing I will probably make art assets last, to both keep project size down until later, and because I have to work on the code first lol

thats so fair!

my board only has one gen 4 4.0 slot but I built the pc just before the pandemic kicked off, so its fairly new tbf

[noble plaza]

That's kinda hard, it gets demotivating after a while to keep staring at the programmer art. A little bit of spice goes a long way in making things feel right, but then you get caught up in that prematurely...

[gusty star]

right?

def tough to balance

and the art is such a mammoth task. high quality models, animations for everything, etc

its almost better to chip away at it

I guess we'll see how it goes

[noble plaza]

Synty's having a 50% off sale 👀

I'm just going to pay for the art, through the asset store or otherwise. Min maxed too many stats into programming to respec haha

[gusty star]

yeah thats fair

i was looking at BigMediumSmall but its like 600 to 1000 usd per pack (for an indie studio license anyway) o.o

that Synty stuff looks insanely awesome tho, and theres so many assets

[noble plaza]

They fairly regularly feature in HB too
https://gamefromscratch.com/best-of-polygon-synty-asset-bundle-on-humble

these BMS packs are insanely photorealistic but its pricey af lol (screenshot for reference)

[gusty star]

this looks so sick lol

what kind of game are you working on / planning?

[noble plaza]

Third person melee combat game, super original 😉

Fast and metal though, I guess the rough one would be Witcher/Dark Souls but Doom

[gusty star]

Noice that sounds hype

those are v popular

and fun imo

[noble plaza]

Non have the balance of things I am after, so decided to DIY haha

DS is too slow and spiraly in either way, Witcher is pretty spammy, then just 50% prep later on

I'm doing a really dynamic system where blocking hits increases your damage, while attacking increases your speed, etc. It's like a little triangle of stat changes pushing you to the other things you can do, so you have to be quick and decisive. A melee arena FPS, in a way

[gusty star]

noice that sounds hype

I dig that idea

Seems like a nice spin on the current formula

I'm planning a far future sci-fi gladiator game about a broadcast program called Persona Non Combata, sort of a hyper-violent UFC but with no holds barred lol. But the idea is to create a BR with super realistic injuries and ballistics, and mix that with far future wackiness such as FTL travel (story wise anyway, probably wont impact gameplay) and different types of shields, weapons, gadgets, robots, gene editing and cloning, etc etc.

[timber viper]

this is a sign from dragonHell

[timber viper]

that looks like a solid design idea

if you implement game director on top of that system

it'll be awesome

[noble plaza]

Game Director? Like L4D style?

[timber viper]

yep

or.. yesn't

[noble plaza]

That sounds crunchy. It's weird, I love uh, violence and gore, metal, all that shit. The one thing I'm squeamish about is the UFC games

[timber viper]

same philosophy but not exactly what l4d game director does

more like a top-down manager for AIs

so that stat progress and be more fluid

you should write it to let players experience "moments"

[noble plaza]

The high fidelity + actual IRL parallels from doing martial arts may be the reason? I've got no experience chainsawing aliens, so pretty disconnected from the physical realities of that experience

[timber viper]

for example all L4D2 game director does is letting players find badass weapons and fighting with badass enemies when player's stress level is too low

[noble plaza]

I was thinking about the Doom token system, which probably does some of that anyway

[timber viper]

yesn't

[noble plaza]

Basically martial arts rules, only X attacking ata time

[timber viper]

this is not an easy subject unlike how it looks

its very specific unlike Doom's generic system

also I already did a token system for you, you dont have to do it xD https://github.com/intaxwashere/AITokenSystemUE

[timber viper]

Three major rules
1- sandbox environment or systemic AIs
2- enough tools in environment to let player create its own experience
3- game specific manager to convert those two into events

it should be a fire & forget, you give weapons, determine which enemies to spawn then you dont care about the rest after peak level reached

so player creating its own story and experience by using the tools you gave to it

[gusty star]

yeah thats fair. UFC is probably just the closest feel in terms of what I mean for what the show should be like, in terms of the story and lore. The actual game play I'm imagining is maybe closer to Rainbow 6: Siege + Metal Gear Solid V.

[noble plaza]

I'm already working towards this in particular with GAS, the player EG activates a light attack, and the combo checking decides which one. AI would likely just activate an attack or a special attack if available, otherwise doing non-combat things.

Good points though, I'm trying to not worry about AI till Verse lol

I'm hoping Verse has good bindings for AI, if not I'll have to suck it up and put effort into the BTs

[gusty star]

I was working on a Utility AI framework for my previous game, and might do somethign similar for this game idk

[timber viper]

it'll be a wet dream if verse is able to work well with ai module

[gusty star]

basically you have numeric score-based actions (such as work, or sleep) and numeric score-based considerations (such as motivation, energy level, etc)

[gusty star]

and then the AI "brain" func decides what the best thing to do is based upon these scores

[noble plaza]

Isn't that GOAP? Or similar

[gusty star]

Yeah its very similar

[timber viper]

GOAP has costs

its utility + task selector based on costs

[gusty star]

ye exactly

more or less the same concept

atleast in my implementation

[noble plaza]

I just know AI will be a black hole, so trying not to do much till I'm happy with the rough combat flow and function I guess

[timber viper]

AI is awesome

you just need to find correct tools

if you ever brute force your design into BTs you'll have difficult times

[noble plaza]

Yeah BT is... weirdly hard to reason about for me. FSM is much more straightforward

[timber viper]

it has its own reasons to exists

but being only option is making all of us sad

I'm mixing both utility, FSM and BT into one

[gusty star]

noice

I sort of want to work on some sort of "smart" ai for the Announcer to make it more immersive and less sort of... soundboardish

but its not high on the list of priorities

core modules first

and the main game loop lol

[mortal skiff]

How do game developers like ourselves convince our audiences that they “need” to play our games? How can we tap into their vices for our profit? Any good marketing strategies I should be aware of

[supple apex]

#generative-ai existence coincides with a lack of grapes on #lounge , need to start making a new trend here.

I suggest orange 🍊

🍊 🍊 🍊

Or maybe capybaras 🤔
There's no emoji for a capybara though...

[noble plaza]

More like crappybara amirite?

[gusty star]

🍋

if you type :fruit then a bunch of fruit emojis come up xD

Is that purple one even a fruit? Too sus in shape.

[slim atlas]

that purple thing?

its called an aborginteonghy euhullu

alsp known as eggplant

[ancient ingot]

lalala

[supple apex]

Eggplant, not an eggfruit, thus, it's illegal to categorize it as fruit 🤔

Grape is also a vegetable

Otherwise, the name grapefruit doesn't make any sense. If grape is a fruit, grape and grapefruit are the same thing.

and as we all know, blood magic is what led to the blood orange

[supple apex]

Grapefruit is an orange, that's illegal as well 🤔

[noble plaza]

The Unity game engine is actually an ad engine 🤔

[supple apex]

The vegan vampires must have made that for snacking 🤔

[gusty star]

cara cara oranges are really good too ngl

Boutique oranges, nice

grapes

[pearl elk]

fake grapes

[supple apex]

Ain't no grape unless it's purple.
(just pretend the green ones doesn't exist...)

[slim atlas]

have you heard of the new gta6

it will have a female protagonist 😮

that could be very interesting

a weird plottwist

[supple apex]

There's always rumors about gta6.
Is it an official news from rockstar this time?
If not, it's just the usual business.

[slim atlas]

one of N ?

what is N

[pearl elk]

normie

[slim atlas]

oh yes

its official news

[pearl elk]

latina lady too, so edgy

[slim atlas]

because gta usually is a male toxic fantasy

where women are treated badly for fun

and now its a woman in the seat

i bet its gonna attract lots of crybabies

[pearl elk]

from what I heard its a Bonnie and Clyde thing

[noble plaza]

Duh, there's two genders - male, and political

[pearl elk]

would be cool if it were more Thelma and Louise

[slim atlas]

from my perspective, i dont really care

gta is made by rockstar

and 2k

and they are both shit companies

gta has stopped being fun when they released gta online

they are only about the money

[pearl elk]

since when is being a female gangster not a male power fantasy 😛

[supple apex]

Why would they reduce the protag number from 3 to 1?
Probably more than 1 protag.

[slim atlas]

this entire woke female stuff?

they only do it cause its profitable

[noble plaza]

I wonder if the game will be less fun with a female protagonist. I remember some sort of study where they found people using male protagonists, in games where you can switch, typically play more recklessly

[slim atlas]

they dont believe a single % in this

[noble plaza]

Now, it could be the reckless people picked male, or it could be picking female made them more careful?

[pearl elk]

what if you choose to play as the female protagonist but you earn less money than if you were to play as a male

[zinc matrix]

god i wanna cry

[slim atlas]

#realistic

#givewomanwhattheydeserve

#wtfissociety

#hashtag

[noble plaza]

But you get passive income from feet pics, if you don't walk lots and spend 50% of gameplay time angling the camera

[slim atlas]

#grapes

[zinc matrix]

#endhumanity

[slim atlas]

and OFC

gta6 with NFTs

woke nfts

[deep copper]

probably an inspiration from genshin and whatever

[slim atlas]

god i hate this so much

i just dont ever want to touch a gta game

or anythging from rockstar

[trail wedge]

what if they made the main character male but made them obsessed with caring about gender in video games?

[pearl elk]

it could be cool if your car insurance was cheaper in GTA because youre a woman

[slim atlas]

horrible topic!!!!

[noble plaza]

That's too close to home haha

[gusty star]

or you could go the assassins creed: valhalla route and be both man and woman

[zinc matrix]

i want lgbt characters

[trail wedge]

lol

[slim atlas]

exactly

[trail wedge]

I guess sarcasm is too much

[noble plaza]

I want well written characters that are interesting, that's all

Most games fail to deliver

[deep copper]

as long as #lounge is alive

[pearl elk]

what if... hear me out... they made a game... with character instead 😮

[slim atlas]

🫂

[trail wedge]

Not Sarcasm: I want good characters and otherwise I want people to stfu (not the people advocating for diverse characters, the people bitching about it)

[noble plaza]

The sarcasm above that is pretty blatant too

[supple apex]

I like how that sounds...
Can you play as a grape?

[slim atlas]

you know what i want?

[deep copper]

it's a game where we can change skins so idk

[slim atlas]

to shoot peoples head off with a sniper rifle

like good old gta

[pearl elk]

Grape Theft Auto

[slim atlas]

and the red juice goes everyhwere

good old gta

[gusty star]

head 'plosion

[slim atlas]

nothing political

[trail wedge]

Hot take: GTA has only ever been fun as a sandbox to mess around in; the missions were never the fun part of the game

[noble plaza]

Petition to rename headshots to grapeshots, and make them result in a wine explosion

[slim atlas]

i dont care what gender the character has! JUST LET ME SHOOT PEOPLE

[deep copper]

i only played to steal vehicles and run over pedestrians

[gusty star]

lady glinnevier i got u I'm working on a sci-fi gladiator game that will be so violent I will get banned in Australia, at least

[trail wedge]

me too... gimme the tank

[slim atlas]

😄

nice

[noble plaza]

Bro slip me a build pls

[slim atlas]

but i am not a fan of unneccesary violence

[gusty star]

ofc I will

yeah fair

[slim atlas]

and gore

gta had decent realistic gore

[noble plaza]

Nah I think you can now get mature ratings here. As long as you don't have drugs in game anyway

[gusty star]

I want to build a realistic injury system for my sci fi glad game so hopefully that gives you an idea of what i mean

[supple apex]

Only played the one with the alien, haven't played the remastered graphics version, does it run properly on PC?

[trail wedge]

...Rimworld...

[noble plaza]

Of course, Australia is about 50% people on meth or weed, but we don't talk about that

[deep copper]

i mean, you can't do it irl so it's a good place to vent

[slim atlas]

why would i do it irl

[pearl elk]

my favourite part of open world games is where the entire world stops waiting for you to do a mission

[gusty star]

ah yes, I've read about the guy who evaded police on an up-river boat get-away, fueled by meth (i forget his name tho lol, lemme look). 'Stralia.

[pearl elk]

its never oh too late you were driving around like an idiot for weeks and forgot to do the mission

[deep copper]

because it's fun ? the ragdoll physics

[slim atlas]

i am a very reasonable person that just wants to be treated and respectly fairly in games.

[trail wedge]

too messy, people start asking too many questions

like... where is my family

[deep copper]

"the question is voilence and and answer is yes"

io*?

[pearl elk]

cant wait to see all the selfies people take in GTA 6 with their cellphones

[noble plaza]

GTA got boring when the (story) focus shifted from set pieces of ridiculous bombastic situations, to some sort of self aware political commentary

[slim atlas]

@sand oxide why dont you say something!

dont you like gta

[deep copper]

they are busy with grapes

[slim atlas]

that

is

hate speech

[pearl elk]

GTA got bad when they stop paying to license good music 😛

[slim atlas]

we are having a very important discussion about females in gta.

and laura runs off

that is a statement

[deep copper]

i was so bad at the missions i forgot it even had a plot

[pearl elk]

meanwhile in Kingpin land, still rockin the funky Cypress Hill stuff

[noble plaza]

Vice City and San Andreas were great.

IV was... Eh, not what I was after

[trail wedge]

I dunno I found good stuff on the radio in every GTA game... so which one do you think is lacking in that department

[slim atlas]

[gusty star]

the radio was always insanely good

[pearl elk]

they cut a heap out of GTA SA unless you got the original

[slim atlas]

i am kidding ofc

this entire debate

is just shittalk

because its such an insanely stupid situation.

people flip out over everything these days.

It's actually pretty rare to see you commenting without a hug, almost kinda miss that, almost

[trail wedge]

you said to

[deep copper]

i do that often, when I don't have the time for it

i just think of it in my head and be done with it quickly!

[supple apex]

Must be working on something important atm 🤔
Good work!

[deep copper]

no that's when i am too busy reading messages, I don't have laura's reading speed!

[trail wedge]

...wait reading takes a measurable amount of time? I thought it was instant

I'm just a slow typer

[gusty star]

depends if you sub-vocalize or not, among other things

[deep copper]

i am a slow reader, you would often find me replying to ancient messages in a quick chat

[trail wedge]

I'm somewhat joking... I'm not unaware you slowbies exist 😆

[deep copper]

apparently,laura said they do sub vocalise, but reading is still quick, and so is writing, it is said that speed readers do sub vocalise but it's too quick or something

[gusty star]

trippy!!!

[trail wedge]

most of us are also just fast talkers (irl), in addition to being fast readers

[gusty star]

I can't really speed read per se, but I can read pretty fast because I read a fair bit as a kid, and I didn't like waiting for people to read aloud in class lol, so i read ahead often

[supple apex]

You're not alone in that case, did exactly just that to laura's saints row post.

[trail wedge]

I reply to ancient shit because I wasn't present when it was posted

[supple apex]

What's a sub-vocalise again?
I'm not that updated on you youngsters terms and words 🤔

[gusty star]

but I should mention that my visualization skills are very poor, but reading does give me imagery, just not very detailed imagery lol

[noble plaza]

When you get your submissive partner to read the message for you

[gusty star]

sub-vocalize is like the voice in your head

[noble plaza]

As opposed to dom-vocalise

He did make one years afterwards though, visual basic?

RIP Trevor WKUK was awesome

[trail wedge]

He made/acquired QBASIC, but that's not the same as creating BASIC

we're not talking MS, we're talking Bill Gates

[supple apex]

Didn't choose that ending, trevor lives~

[trail wedge]

I don't think it works that way sadly

[supple apex]

Sensed a whoosh somewhere, I must've missed that reference.

[supple apex]

Did Bill ever created something from scratch? 🤔

[trail wedge]

the GIF was a clip from the comedy show WKUK (Whitest Kids You Know). The leader of that group Trevor Moore passed away you somewhat recently

[pearl elk]

didnt Bill Gates make that poop into water device

[trail wedge]

I'm sure he crafted a few stories about how he got or did stuff that were entirely of his own creation

[supple apex]

Ah, I see, we're talking about a different trevor it seems, my condolences.

[supple apex]

Sorry, out of the loop, that sounds like a description for a toilet without context 😅

no you can drink the poop water after its clean

which I suppose might sound like a toilet if youre that way inclined

[gusty star]

is he saying "thats water! laughs"?

[zinc matrix]

Hello there

[pearl elk]

hello there leafy one

[supple apex]

That... umm, maybe a little to short on the recycling steps for my comfort. Would appreciate if he does several more unnecessary steps to distance the feel from being a poop water.

[gusty star]

[trail wedge]

what about TRex poop water that's been trickle filtering for just a little bit now

[supple apex]

pfft I hope we can get CRISPr level gene editing injectables. want some chlorophyll to absorb sunlight and never have to eat? sure! but you will be v green.....

[deep copper]

oh it's an ancient word actually but thanks to fancy speed reading tools it gained popularity
it's basically saying stuff inside your head when reading, it was believed turning that off helps speed reading because they you are practically detecting speech as an image, quickly, however it was also refuted as it shows that speed reader do subvocalise

[pearl elk]

I shit you not this is canon

[supple apex]

Dang, must have been quite an experience you have.

[pearl elk]

I see this movie, its XXX part 3

[trail wedge]

that's just a normal cutscene in MGS3

[gusty star]

tru

[supple apex]

That eva?

[gusty star]

yea

MGS3 was lit ngl

one of the few games I've actually played/beat the story more than once

apparently Kojima is working on a new game with Xbox studios or something lol

thats the only info he gave out tho, no title, no synopsis

just that hes wanted to work on this idea for a while

[trail wedge]

Kojima is known for that, MGS5 had its own disinformation campaign and everything

[gusty star]

I kinda love that honestly, helps temper expectations and curb disappointment

[supple apex]

I remember that.

[trail wedge]

MGS5 was great but it would have been a million times better if they let him finish the story part

[gusty star]

I agree.

[trail wedge]

Starting off with a cover of Bowie is always a good start

[gusty star]

The story def didn't feel as polished as some of his other work

[trail wedge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU2wBKoDOzg

[gusty star]

have ya'll seen the trailer for that game ARC Raiders? Former DICE devs working on it

supposedly coming out this year but theres 0 info about it, even in the discord

only a reveal trailer 😢

[supple apex]

Should've had some informal talk with sony' bosses for funding, mgs did elevate sony to the higher grounds during the 90's console war, sony helped square that way back then.

[trail wedge]

it wasn't funding... Konami and him had a falling out

and they own Metal Gear

[fathom wadi]

The first time my mother ever said a video game looked interesting was when she came round to my flat and I was right at the end of Metal Gear Solid 4. Crawling through the vent before the final fight.

[gusty star]

ah really? damn eh

[trail wedge]

my parents played Doom 1-2, Wolfenstien 3D, and Quake... Half-Life was where they stopped because they would get lost in the level environment

[supple apex]

Still think it might be about funding, konami might ignore kojima's spending or the thought to move to pachinko if sony invest them with some hard earned cash.

[fathom wadi]

the only time I saw my parents playing a game was back with the sinclair spectrum 48k and a game called Smuggler's Cove. A text adventure

[trail wedge]

yeh look at the garbo they put out without Kojima... Metal Gear: Survive

[fathom wadi]

Metal Gear IS Kojima. Nobody else can do it

[supple apex]

Then again, I'm not an industry insider, pretty sure some of the mods and senpais here have better idea on what might have transpires.

[trail wedge]

they played some other games before that on our Apple ][, but I forgot what those were

since you mentioned text adventures... you guys remember Zork?

[fathom wadi]

heard of it but never played it

[trail wedge]

Intel do GPUs? 🤔

[trail wedge]

they shouldn't

but yeh

[fathom wadi]

they made sub-par but cheap ones

[supple apex]

For what usage/industry?

[pearl elk]

isnt the guy working on Intel Arc formerly from Nvidia?

[fathom wadi]

yeah he opened the door for jensen

[pearl elk]

they were saying if you have Intel onboard GPU and an Arc they can play nice together too

theyre certainly not gonna be super fast but their power limits are reasonable unlike Nvidia who like to melt the polar ice caps

[fathom wadi]

i bought a motherboard that lets me use my intel on board and my gpu at the same time. So I can run my secondary monitor without using gpu resources

[pearl elk]

part of the reason I went with AMD this time is because Nvidia just threw their own performance metric out the window

[cursive crypt]

dem sweet cores was for me
also cheaper & available gpu

[pearl elk]

it was mainly to do with the encoding onboard being faster so Intel were offloading that for say streaming which frees up performance on Arc

kinda nice upgrade path to know you dont completely ignore onboard once you get discreet GPU

[cursive crypt]

More competition, the better.

[pearl elk]

well they actually did it this time unlike Larrabee so thats a good start

if only Project Offset made it

[supple apex]

I'm definitely out of the loop in tech news 🤔
Thanks for talking about that guys, didn't realize there's a new competitor in the GPU market.

[pearl elk]

well Im not even sure the higher end Arcs are released yet, the lower end ones are I think

https://www.gpumag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Intel-Arc-desktop-GPU-price-1024x573.jpg

they even have a pretty reasonable naming convention, A for this series, B for the next, C and so on

[foggy path]

I got access to Dall-e 2 and holy crap it's fucking hundred years ahead of Midjourney

I asked it to do "Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker eating ice cream, photograph" and it produced photorealistic humans who vaguely resemble the characteristics of those two people and it looked like a legit photo of them eating ice cream... something Midjourney would never get right I'm pretty sure

it's struggling to produce a two-headed alien in a pink 60s muscle car... keeps producing two aliens and otherwise a very good image, but it doesn't seem to comprehend what it means for something to have two heads lol

but honestly this is so good I might actually pay for this unlike Midjourney

i am just telling the origins of no pockets for woman.

it was a sexist idea.

[pearl elk]

But isnt the fashion industry dominated by women, seems odd the idea persists

[broken sigil]

Every time I look at lounge it's slightly weirder and weirder each time

[slim atlas]

i was just stating history facts

[cursive crypt]

Can confirm lately is getting weirder.

[slim atlas]

i desperatly want poclets

[supple apex]

It's because you migrated to the other channel, we lost your touch and spams

[cursive crypt]

^

e.g.

[slim atlas]

yes

i want you to touch me again

please.

[pearl elk]

So Google made Stadia when all they had to do was give you pockets

[slim atlas]

oh yes

make different dresses with pockets

i want 2 pockets outside

and 1 hidden inside

for knives

[short grove]

what happened to #cpp-2?

[pearl elk]

You dont need pockets for knives you strap them to your inner thigh

[slim atlas]

you know what

i dont even need weapons

i have fists hardened in the depth of the dishwater.

[ashen knot]

weapons?

what have i walked into

[timber viper]

AU is missing though

lounge didnt reach its max level yet

[slim atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-90s-water-flow-dish-flowing-water-gif-12090148

these waters

make your hands like steel

[supple apex]

There's 2 cpp channel around?
Oh my...

[timber viper]

there are two lounges and two cpps

that paradox explains the secrets of the universe

#cpp is scrodinger's lounge

its only lounge when mods not observing it

[short grove]

it's in a superposition of both if not observed

[broken sigil]

And our lord and savior #generative-ai /lounge2

[supple apex]

AU's here spreading hugs just now, must've missed that

[timber viper]

must've missed that
😌

[slim atlas]

ill be looking for neckholder dresses now...

[cursive crypt]

who?

[timber viper]

affectionateUser

[cursive crypt]

sigh

[pearl elk]

But they wont have pockets

[timber viper]

the moment when your code compiled and feature worked fine in the editor, but you have no idea how

at least stupid designers wont be able to make mistakes anymore

[slim atlas]

i found a cute dress

its not optimal yes

but the neck is very free

and the back is free too

this would go greatly with a jacket

[broken sigil]

Perfect for hiding weapons

[timber viper]

and totally doesnt give the vibes of a secret agent

[slim atlas]

this was the only dress i found on the entire website

[timber viper]

which might hiding a gun

[slim atlas]

you make it sound like this is a concern?

[timber viper]

yesnt?

[slim atlas]

i bookmarked it for now

when i am back from vacation i look at it again

its 40 euro

[broken sigil]

When I go out I don't even pay attention to what I wear, I just grab the first thing I see and put it on lol

Which is usually a black shirt and black pants

[deep copper]

🫂

[timber viper]

almost same

[slim atlas]

youre a man person tho blue...

[timber viper]

but i prefer white shirts

[slim atlas]

you probably look good in everything.

[deep copper]

that's subjective for the viewer

[broken sigil]

Yes, I like lying to myself too 😅

[slim atlas]

i was born as a ten.

[timber viper]

why do you go out anyway

its 2022

[slim atlas]

but i have to unlock that hidden potential every day.

[timber viper]

@deep copper is someone paying you for those hugs

[slim atlas]

dresses are like armor

[deep copper]

yes me ! with hugs as currency

[slim atlas]

i wear confidence like a priest who carries a bible

[timber viper]

so you're rich?

[deep copper]

yes, for every hug i give out i gain a hug

[timber viper]

this is not how economy works

[topaz depot]

you gained a hug

[slim atlas]

then why dont you hug every line...

youre lying

[deep copper]

you will see, invest some hugs in me, if you don't get the returns you expected i will return them fully

[timber viper]

sounds like a scam tbh 😂

[topaz depot]

hugging is quite an exhausting task

[slim atlas]

cry me a river

[timber viper]

this is a ponzi scheme

[supple apex]

That's like, not even 1% in profit 🤔

[deep copper]

it's a risky business, mods can kill me if it goes overboard

[timber viper]

just put jk to your sentence

[supple apex]

Should've asked for 1.5 hug instead

[timber viper]

works evertime

ask @proud jay if you dont believe me ( )

[slim atlas]

sorry but

i was killed for less by mods

[deep copper]

it's like you trade where you lose nothing

[slim atlas]

thats why i made a pact

and befriended the mods

hate buddies!!!!!

[deep copper]

i am trying but they are scared of me now

[slim atlas]

i am nice in chat and an angel... and they dont attack

[timber viper]

must be very difficult to understand why

https://tenor.com/view/hmmm-thinking-batman-gif-14744673

why could it be

[deep copper]

yeah no idea, hugs are safe in all aspects

[topaz depot]

I mean there's covid

but other than that, I agree

[timber viper]

with enough of jks everything is safe

[deep copper]

eHugs* are safe in all aspects

[timber viper]

eHug*

why e prefix

[topaz depot]

sounds like a desperate hug

[deep copper]

it's electronic

digital hugs are safe from mortal problems like disease etc

[broken sigil]

Once a week I go for a drive and that's about it... And if I have to go buy something lol

[topaz depot]

but when you hug irl there's a chemical reaction which is really good for you

[timber viper]

outside is not real, take your pills BM

[supple apex]

So that apple don't sue you, 'i' is not an option.

[deep copper]

if we ever meet let's create some chemicals! <3

[topaz depot]

sure sure

[sour bolt]

It’s lunch time and I’m here to warp your minds

[topaz depot]

I'm being rate limited.

[sour bolt]

Man opens his mouth too much

[deep copper]

discord knows this currency can go out of hands, so they are restraining us

[topaz depot]

I love opening my mouth

thanks for the grape

[timber viper]

almost about to reach max level

[sour bolt]

So anyone wanna answer a serious game related question? Or should I fear answers

[deep copper]

you will get #loungey nswers here

[topaz depot]

go for it

[sour bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-heavy-breathing-intensifies-fat-cat-gif-11159759

[timber viper]

if its really something you are curious about you might try #career-chat or #industry-chat

[supple apex]

Sounds like you have too much thoughts in your mind Mr. Anderson 😎

[timber viper]

but for shitpost, prefer here

[slim atlas]

we dont have a game design channel yet

[timber viper]

we have

[slim atlas]

i was thinking about using my influence so we can make one

[deep copper]

we had

[timber viper]

no we shouldnt have one

[deep copper]

it got destroyed

[slim atlas]

why?

[timber viper]

even Cranz left the server

slackers doesnt deserve or need one

[deep copper]

#design-chat ? i think

got archived

[supple apex]

Wait, there's blueberry? 🫐

[deep copper]

yes rwxtm or something uses that

[slim atlas]

they posted fucking game dev questions in there

[sour bolt]

Ok so I’m working on a 81mm mortar for my game and I’m in the toss up between using a visual camera to pick target location or make it milsim style where you have to chose and change the fire angle and speed based off the artillery used and some rough calculations but idk if that’s too far…

[slim atlas]

god i tell you

90% of the people in this server

have no game dev education

0

[supple apex]

🫐 🫐 🫐

[slim atlas]

they dont know what level design is

[broken sigil]

It was used by everyone for everything except game design lol

[slim atlas]

or game design!!!

horrible

i understand

i wont ask.

[timber viper]

its normal

[sour bolt]

Me too just YouTube trial and err

[timber viper]

most people come here from UE page

most of the beginners not professionals

[topaz depot]

you really are an affectionate user

[slim atlas]

makes me angry

[topaz depot]

don't be angry

meditate, feel relieved

[slim atlas]

i keep shopping for my dress

[timber viper]

if you are keen for it I can recommend searching messages of CranzEstebogen in #level-design - it can contribute you a lot

[topaz depot]

it really works like magic

[deep copper]

i blame yt vids for advertising ue as "no programming knowledge needed ! make a game NOW"

[slim atlas]

happy times

[broken sigil]

And a weapon

[sour bolt]

Ok sell u a 81mm mortar

[deep copper]

and discord tokens

[timber viper]

81mm is not enough

[slim atlas]

in germany sadly we can bring any weapons

[timber viper]

give 120mm

[slim atlas]

no knives

no guns

nothing

[supple apex]

I think epic themselves kinda promote UE as that.

[slim atlas]

there is no carry license either

[sour bolt]

That’s next a howitzer

[timber viper]

yes

[deep copper]

let me be honest but your best bet is Kor or rwxtm or something, they know about weapons, i am not sure which one though

[timber viper]

its actually a howitzer

but if you abuse the design you can achieve a 120mm mortar

[sour bolt]

Sawn off howitzer?

[timber viper]

which can be effective because ammo will be cheaper and it'll be easier to carry

[broken sigil]

Here you can have a damn crossbow without needing a license but you can't a slingshot or an air gun without a license... Because logic...

[sour bolt]

Google’s

[deep copper]

oh yeah

[timber viper]

in Turkiye you can have anything

no logic

only AK47s and shotguns

[sour bolt]

https://youtu.be/IDM_zqkpK1U

[supple apex]

Shark with lasers?

[sour bolt]

Posh

[deep copper]

grapes in blueberries?

[timber viper]

you can find a shark and a laser, but you need to plug it on your own

[deep copper]

so it's all modular there

[sour bolt]

https://youtu.be/3ScRbpOBWsU this is where I am at rn

[slim atlas]

power shark battery by putting a wire in its bum

[timber viper]

https://youtu.be/w5F8N-KoldI

[sour bolt]

U gonna do that?

[slim atlas]

oh am i glad noone red that

oh no...

[sour bolt]

Thnx more ammo no pun
