Maybe crossbow because it's used for hunting?
I mean, not sure what a slingshot should be used for daily 🤔
It has 2 holes one with one without teeth
U can hunt with a slingshot
if you are doing a milsim you need to work with real world data btw
you can find academic papers about projectiles
and apply same math
I am it’s 81mm fires at 150-210mps and has accurate weight and air resistance calculations.
Slingshots and air rifles can be also used for hunting, they can be really powerful
alrite bois i am out. Treat your women with respect or i treat your wounds with salt.
most of the milsim companies hire physics engineers or aerospace engineers to make the calculations
But you're going to need a lot of skill to aim with that, unlike a crossbow
Indeed
I'm off to bed 💤
In the ocean, duh 😕
gnight
💤
@timber viper I’m using a damn accurate bullet physics addon for it. And for the rockets like a jav I’m using a plane addon and modifying it to work. And cross reference to YouTube for timing. I.e 2m flight time over a mile hot shoot and play and see where it lands.
Ah, wait, you're asking where to plug the laser to the shark didn't you?
Need to check what port the shark used first.
But yeah it was more for the aiming mechanic use visual style like battlefield or arma where u select on the map or literally make people do the trigonometry for it 🤔 or hybrid so only a spotter sees the target and say fire
night night! sleep well!!!!! !!!!
🥁
http://imgur.com/a/atxqp users would need to know how to use this
Imagine asking game related questions in a game dev discord and killing the chat. So how’s about those packers huh bad balls all night
Serious talk don't really last in #lounge, this is where devs do shitposting when they're bored with work but haven't yet went offline nor busy with anything else irl
this is #lounge tho
I'm personally here because "welp" is rarely seen, place to chill.
Welp?
wlp
It is a slang for "help" in case you were seriously asking.
Also it can mean just "well..."
I get the welp, didn't get how it works with your sentence though 🤔
But, nvm, all good 👍
as they said, this is #lounge , i am guessing everyone comes here tired from game work only to see game dev again, that must give them ptsd 😔
😱
that's horrifying 😨
imgur seems to be full of horrible stuff today
some rtx on off feature
don't go to weird places
the most i can do is hug you super mega tight to keep you here!!!
it's kinda cool tbh
easy to understand and use
Thinking too many tabs maybe? I dont know how many different items I might have
I'm guessing lots of materials and objects/placeables
based on the looks it seems okay rn
k. Maybe I'll work on the functional side of it, and maybe figure out more of the actual game. Redo it later if needed
I have no idea what I'm doing at this moment
Lol
Saw something like that on the news few days ago.
They just cannot help arming those robodogs with guns.
I love it
Glanced over Carbon, kinda not impressed apart from the enthusiasm.
That one?
Looks close to the ecmascript family style in notation, how does it connect to C++?
Easy interop? Like C#?
It is a new lang which can one-line import c++ stuff and use it.
fn foo (param: String) -> int32
(definitely an west func type guy I am)
carbon will replace c++
just like rust replaced c++
because just like rust, carbon is superior and amazing.
But will Crabon replace Rust?
So cynical laura 😑
with soft 'b'
do you know how many years experience you need to work as carbon dev?
at least 10 years with the langugae
another really shitty topic XD
I do remember google wave 🤔
Came out too early, before its time.
It aint bad to throw resources at research.
they did and one for replacing the ethernet protocol (not sure it is in that site)
pretty successful, but turns out not future-stable.
o shit, I didn't even know cardboard was gone
I don't know most of these 😅
Still got cardboard in the room next to me.
At least they got the idea correct, use what already exist in common (phone) and combine it with an extremely low cost solution
Resolution looks bit 💩 though.
as long as it works
That's s long list of dead project btw
"killed by google" is such a sad way to put it, it also feels like google did it as some sort of a betrayal
You prefer "hugged to death by google"?
works every time 0% of the time
well yes, rn it's like "stomped to death by google"
lol
I think they open sourced some of the dead project (I think, not sure).
Someone will probably pick things up if it serves a purpose.
that sounds "as good as dead"
Anyone here ever work with an "indie" publisher, and has the experience been tolerable?
i don't have any experience but the way you said it makes it really sound like there are few good publishers and many bad
That's the gist I've gotten. But I hardly have any experience.
Not sure how "indie" a publisher can be, but there's always the issue of experience, bargaining power, and negotiating things when going with a publisher. Maybe some just go into the deal with too much hope or rose tinted glasses.
Yeah it's a bit of an oxymoron, isn't it? I guess by "indie," they mean "not AAA supermassive."
I did hear of some "publisher" that publish games made by indie devs, maybe those are the ones you mean?
Correct, but they often refer to themselves as "indie publishers"
like devolver digital
Isn't that a bit too high in the big fish scale?
If that's the case, even square enix is an indie publisher, they also publish indie games 🤔
well devolver is pretty much only indies no
Pretty sure that's not what the term should've mean.
Potat EA
Don't take my word for it since I'm pretty sure I don't have any game portfolio to show, but there's realistic expectation when entering an agreement, and non realistic expectation filled with too much hope.
If things looks too good to be true, then it most likely is.
Follow your common sense, understand your position, and you most likely will end up with publishers that make sense for your context (instead of meeting "bad" ones)
Assuming the developer is using a successful vertical slice to get a deal with a publisher, I've heard it said the developer has more power in the negotiations up until the contract is signed.
As opposed to "here are my hopes and dreams for a game in power point form"
Yeah every single publisher I've spoken to has asked for a vertical slice.
makes sense
Its cheap and easy to make an emotional power point or even sizzle reel compared to making a solid vertical slice
If I had money, I would never fund anyone without playing their vertical slice first
Indubitably. Both of those are under way.
All I need now is a device that makes it so I no longer need to sleep.
Nice! Not crunch nice, but progress nice.
What kind of game are you making?
If you don't mind sharing I mean
Some ideas are best kept secret until unveiling
"Squirrel with a Gun." I'm learning Unreal as I make it. But I work in TV/Film FX as a day job, so it's tricky to balance
Cute squirrel with a gun? Or badass squirell with a gun?
Hopefully both
It is not easy, but it's fun, to be a squirrel with a gun.Squirrel with a gun is a sandbox game that focuses on exploration and shooting combat.Defend yourself from random encounters with Agents, using various weapons. Deflect their melee attacks with exceptional timing to disarm them.Climb and jump across platforms with your natural squirrel sk...
Good question!
Oh I've seen a few of your reddit posts
Looks like you already have something of a following. That's cool
Yeah, I made this little mobile game before that zero people played, so this attention is exciting 😀
Would probably only fund devs with a proven track of shipping multiple games before if I had money, even if the previous sales aren't that successful.
Neo got reincarnated as a squirrel I see.
Yeah work history is also important. I was assuming most inexperienced devs would wash out at the vertical slice bit because I could spot amatuer work or they wouldn't even get to the vertical slice.
You're the dev, you're not supposed to say maybe 🤦 🤦♀️ 🤦♂️
Sorry, it is canonically The One.
Just waiting for Warner Brothers to reply to my letter.
Big brain answer, wise choice 👍
I like your release date btw.
Yeah I got no effing clue. Everything takes so long to do.
Someone on this discord suggested that I should start harvesting wishlists while the iron was hot, hence the steam page
Should probably put a video on your steam page if that's the case, not everyone will search it on youtube.
Good point. I'll probably cut something this weekend.
@solid hull Why does the squirrel spin downwards when shooting the gun? 🤔
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEc_3P0os1Y
Nah, just a possible alt-outfit for the Squirrel With a Gun game :)
That's the midair jump. You can use it to jump to farther platforms than jumping sans-gun.
but if you press the "shoot" button in midair, it shoots like normal
Why talk about something you know nothing about 
This will benefit the first person shooter's (FPS) frames per second (FPS)
Money go brrrrrrrrrr

"We call this exciting new feature 'crypto mining'." ~John Riccitiello
Where did you get that anyway? Some gaming site?
was looking if mobile supported gpu lightmass
Would love to use UE5 on my 10 year old potato pc if that's the case, no need to pay for a high marked up price for a gpu to use lumen and nanite
I thought so, just got worried when I needed to tick rtx support and virtual texturing then wait for 100k shaders to compile to even test
thanks for clarifying
so that was a lie
it wasnt a lie tbf
more like an emotional statement
because we are closing in on a generation where fully dynamic light is available
even on mobile
gpu lightmass is still supported by ue5
try having a dynamic light for mobile vr
Monero mining?
Easy done in any engine I’d bet
Epic know what’s coming in 5.7 already
But if you check thier GitHub out you can kinda track what’s being worked on. And just compile it when u like right
But the new features there’s no way to know. Don’t think there’s a change log of sorts
<-- is old
Lol
that makes them sound like those public psycholocgical experiment groups who are waiting to see the faces of everyone when something new drops
any1 missed around with texture arrays?
Yup all run under a curtain with Kim jong behind it
someone once wrote some fake bitcoin mining code and put it into their Rimworld mod because they thought someone was stealing their code and they were trying to scare them loooool
Was a shitstorm of epic proportions
tell the entire story
hahaha
tag him
why the hell use fake btc mining software.
if someone was stealing
it would be in his code too
and then they can expose the thief
that would damage the main
It was a while ago, i honestly kind of forget. The mods ended up banning the person who put in the fake code cuz he was straight up harassing the other person
It was basically just one persons toxicity, but they were ducking questions the whole time so it took a bit to sus out
but they slowly admitted as much
feature a developer donation while your doing afk crafting 20% gpu will be used pushing cheap to mine chains
lmao, you could start your own pool from people running mining code in your game
itd be super unethical tho if they didnt know what was happening lmao
it would be blatant
got any do's and don'ts?
click afk crafting become immune to kick and do a little mining? ✅
im assuming vectors to manipulate faster mathmatically
an alternative to texture atlases afaik
texture atlasses are cool yes
can't tile with em
but only if you start at 4K
packed textures atlas 
tarray of ftextures
looking for ai which does a/b testing for your ads, art etc. and not wasting tons of money for a/b testing with humans.
til: std::iota been created in 1979
... or more like, its inspiration been created back then.
COMPUTERS
Actually, APL, the programming language.
how can you a/b test the effectiveness of ads and art without humans?
@deep copper, :8ball: As I see it, yes.
done, that will be 50 hugs
!8ball A or B?
@primal summit, :8ball: Ask again later.
who said the initial state wont include data of humans?
!8ball B or A?
@primal summit, :8ball: Most likely.
no. u need general picture data + ab datasets
elaborate?
or are you not testing effectiveness, just functionality
ur aware that ai can see things humans cant?
!8ball can you?
@deep copper, :8ball: My reply is no.
!8ball is a game about NFT Organs good?
@slim atlas, :8ball: Yes.
!8ball do you have eyes on your bum?
@slim atlas, :8ball: Cannot predict now.
!8ball do you have eyes on your face
@slim atlas, :8ball: Outlook not so good.
oh no...
guess manny is like those worms that sense the world with their skin
!8ball let's do it
@deep copper, :8ball: As I see it, yes.
!8ball will you help me harvest organs from users here?
@slim atlas, :8ball: As I see it, yes.

Lady will only post nfts
in that case i can be the donor
i will give you my everything!!

Is there a reason why github desktop shouldn't be used?
yes
Which is?
It is terrible
I dunno but there is a reason out there somewhere
Paging Goddess for help. @sand oxide
youre gonna get hammered for wanting to use a GUI
Everything has a reason, that's one very fine philosophical answer mons
I used github desktop to drag and drop push/pull files into my dedicated folder on my HDD but i wouldn't do anything more complex than that with it lol
I personally use source tree for basic git usage
But, isn't it just a frontend gui for git? 🤔
What did the UI do wrong?
Now that explains a lot, guess it started out personal eh 🤔
this is what happens when you expect artists to do codey things
they were obviously engineered to fail
I don't see publish, but pretty sure sync is still there 🤔
what source control doesn't suck for UE? srs question
its crazy that they dont teach source control in basic programmer courses
they wait until you get to this arbitrary line in the sand when youre sufficiently engineer enough
Why is that kinda good 🤔
if I were running a programming course I would not accept code thats not in a repository and I would also grade based on repository usage
Probably, it's not a command, but pretty sure there some prompt saying "syncing" at some point.
you cant be a good DJ without sync
Banana got some sync on it~
So 90's
I think GitHub desktop has improved though since MS took it over
Trash is still trash though
Not sure how it looks before, but the current one looks more or less okayish, not using it for anything complex though, can't really confirm laura's hatred to the UI.
I personally wouldnt trust some people near the git commandline since they can already break things so badly through the the GUI
no https auth
I have an idea for a solarpunk story game and i want there to be a tool that you use throughout the game like half life
I thought it would be like a plant gun, but I'm not sure what to make it do
i was thinking I could make it so you could pickup and move around objects, and also use it as a grappling hook but I think making it move stuff around would be too half life-ey
Or I would make it like a rope that would wrap around the object and you could pull it when you'd like but I think that'd be too hard to program
what are yall's thoughts?
Make a prototype first, show, don't tell.
You won't get much constructive input without any concrete example.
oh i just saw a tweet about this the other day... one moment
I'm just looking to spitball ideas
Here's the process of our rope mechanic. Hoping it will help some devs out there 🦝
#Delight #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d #gameprogramming #madewithunity #unitytips

operator¯_(ツ)_/¯
I know, I have a very dumb vision
what if I would say C++17 support for coroutines
something like this yeah, but it would be constantly extending until you push the retract button, and it would pull the item through the rope, towards you
oh hey they mentioned about yours
The nomenclature and feature set of this plugin was inspired by SkookumScript and the use we gave it during development of The Eternal Cylinder.
but I'll never understand people keep preferring and promoting worst syntax ever
if somehow c++ would start supporting coroutines in 17 i bet it would be around 1k
did you made UE5Coro because you're angry? 🤔
100% she did
I hate to see coroutines making AI development at least 50% easier
meanwhile I have to introduce uncountable amount of transition classes and new nodes to FSM
I guess non C++20 coroutines just do the same but with manual code?
I wonder which consoles don't support c++20 🤔
All except recently released ones, i guess?
PS5 and latest xbox must be supporting
Wow - making a functional plugin that thinks of the little guy/girl - unreal....no, very real.
I uhhh
I typed that wrong.
There fixed.
(Commenting on how you actually think about BP users)
Laura is best Laura™️
So pretty much, make it feel a part of the natural UE ecosystem
Don't forget to talk about your sponsor for this video, Raid Shadow Legends
Should've been the name of your blog
she really considered this
ya'll are just the right amount of silly lol, this place is rad
Is LuaJit faster than C#?
So, using Lua for mods better than C#
I wonder is Burst ever would be available for standart C#
wait, wasnt Lua just emulating coroutines?
rather than doing actual coroutines
i thought it doesnt even rely on compiler
yeah i see now
compiler layer makes it difficult
One thing that i am believe that exposing API into Lua is much easier than adding C# scripting support
Isnt i would be required to use ugly microsoft C++ syntax?
Ahhh got it
with ^ as pointer
never used it
Ah
didnt ever see that
Philosophical question: why ancient code so ugly compared to modern?
what is swig?
Hmm, yeah, it could be generated
Interesting thing to learn old codebase history
Btw, anybody there sorting out in keyboards?
Need little help in switches
Wanna buy this one, choosing between MX Brown and EC Daisy...
😝
my eyes Im blind
That's obviously some alternate reality
its just how slow Riders debugger is 😮
Laura reacted with [thinking]!
It's super effective!
Screenshot x 5!
I mean, I saw it happen live.
yeah^ I have witness
Guess who is getting some AI art 😏
Watch, when I finally start learning gas, I'm going to ask a question and Laura is going to be on.
Then just link back to this message directly.
Knowing her I can bet exactly that is going to happen lol
But we both also know, that she actually would answer the question 🤣
After about 10 messages of sassiness probably 😛
but but I want 10 messages of gassiness
Yeah, but that just means I get to laugh while receiving help.
true true
anyone that’s taken a contract job, are they worth it and are they full of legal mombojumbo like taxes and signed documents
ok any one know where i post ar type questions?
So... furries
That some artist didn't understand copyright (if that true) kinda not a surprise.
they'll never notice if we rip this art
I'm not sure if I can break at such angle to include a furry.
furries arnt real art?
Indonesians just got booted off Valve and EGS games lol
RIP cultural and linguistic exchanges over Dota 2 games (for now)
better to be safe, dont wanna catch foot n mouth
At least they are safe from the tyranny of EA
whats this list telling us
The currently banned 'top 10' internet traffic services
Soon moving on to top 100, top 1000, etc.
Indonesia is the latest government to propose a legal framework to coerce social media platforms, apps, and other online service providers to accept local jurisdiction over their content and users’ data policies and practices. And in many ways, its proposal is the most invasive of human rights....
They just started rolling this out today I think
welp there goes my trip to Bali
Some governments trying hard to establish a dome over their people.
Indo can't into game dev crurenlty
They can do single/local play tho?
Every one TBH, we had a brief break from the gov oversight, but looks like it's going to be even worse now
I dunno, so many games require online checks these days
why would you create an internet just to break it
It's not breaking it, it's pressuring companies to provide a backdoor into their services
First day today, and many companies have already registered. I'm sure most will
https://kominfod.angelo.fyi/
Imagine running a social media security team, working your ass off, except the business side keeps making you provide backdoors to random governments as they demand it
Oh, you are from there? Was that with the fleeing president and bullshit?
imagine creating a free and open internet just for everyone to build virtual walls
Nope, AU. We also have made great efforts in the space though
Control freaks, gonna freak
Including the PM disagreeing with maths/ cryptography, and saying the rules of Australia trump them lol
Ah, nice
which PM was that Scummo?
yeah Turnball was always on about filtering the internet to protect children
Wait I just realised it wasn't Scomo 🤔
the initial idea would have actually blacklisted Wikipedia by default since it doesnt have an age gate
Children is such a pathetic cop out
Literally every spying measure, "but it protects children! Well, maybe one!!!!"
Anal probes at airport check ins, yup that's for the children.
Forced forfeiture of your phone by power tripping cops as they see fit, yup that's for the bairns.
I think having access to information helps children, filters can be more harmful
Parents just leave their idiot 8 year old with unrestricted internet access on an iPad. Instead of legislation, I think some thought and effort is required there
imagine having conservative parents but wanting to know about things that arnt even in their belief system
so many kids I grew up with were inmates
I dunno, the internet seems to just ruin everything at this point haha
mind you there were acouple on the opposite end of the spectrum, parents dosed em with marijuana cookies
It just quickly enables people's ultimate end goal, of joining some specific weirdo radical group and distorting your world view over time
WHAT? When?
thats how it works though, we used to have these strange books people would read but now its all internet based
newspapers are still huge same with talk shows
But if you were in woop woop you have access to nothing. Now you can move to Antarctica and keep up with penguin supremacists in Saskatchewan if you'd like
SkyNews is available in woop woop now 😛
Worse if anything lol, all the normal people moved on, while their target market is spooking oldies
Yeah that's what I'm saying, you were kinda regulated by accessibility of non-mainstream info, as well as existence of those groups nearby. Now, well everything's global, for better or worse
youre not wrong my Dad is in a perpetuation state of fear of any sort of discussion regarding change
I certainly understand reasonable kick back to change but when youre scared of the woke boogey monster and snowflakes maybe its time to check the mirror lol
its the interweebs it made my children gay
TBF I read a paper about that, and apparently it's just a personality shit over time. People become drastically less liberal as they age, usually
Makes me scared of aging, but we also haven't had many generations growing old in really racially diverse environments, wonder how that ends.
But as a general trend, the older you get the more 'set in your ways' you get, while also being more apprehensive of any change or deviation from normal, regardless of if you held certain views when young etc. With effort that can be overcome or just won't happen but 🤷♂️
Im pretty much the oldest Millenial you can get and I definitely check myself sometimes like when I complain about EVs but then I remind myself Ive always been middle left progressive
I just never trusted economic right, I dont think companies can be trusted to self regulate
some people are happy to let companies have fair less restrictions than individuals though which I dont get
Drive one TBH, they're great fun particularly in cities!
The instant acceleration is just a very distinct experience. Kinda similar to when that one dickhead friend keeps the turbo spooled through roundabouts 😄
hey I said I complain about EVs not that Im against the concept, I grew up preferring electric RC over nitro like all the petrol heads
The instant acceleration thing in EVs is due to torque eh? why is that? what makes them create more torque?
Ah fair, TBH I don't entirely get the appeal in Australia. Everything's far as fuck away, and it's hot as shit all the time.
In Norway I had a EV charging station every 5-10ks, even going through the countryside
there is a point where cars wont be able to accelerate any quicker, Im not convinced accelerating fast is safe either with how some idiots drive.
but aye, my brakes work better than a Plaid 😛
The torque can be regulated to maximum in an instant, as opposed to ICEs and the likes. They also don't have gears so smoother throughout
Oh and regen braking is sick
Interesting
as far as I can tell hybrids combine the best of both but EVs are still super heavy
Eh EVs need less maintenance, which you don't get with hybrids. Maybe over time we'll have EV-first, hybrid-second kinda cars where the petrol engine is a weak backup if you start running out
Im all for helping the environment I just dont think mandated EVs esp in a country like Australia will make a lick of difference
Mandated? Never heard about that
you can drive past Kalgoorlie tell me if the massive pit hurts the environment more than your car 😛
But yeah, people drive insane distances here far too regularly for the current lot to be practical everywhere
2035 and all new car sales will be EV apparently
ye the battery tech isn't that great yet, and the heavy metals in the batteries and the eco cost of extraction :/
yeah EVs would use a fair bit of rare Earths but fairly all the electronics in modern cars its much of a muchness
ah yeah
carbon fiber, aluminium, lithium etc its all worse for the environment than steel
hmm
Sounds like some delusional shit, NZ committed to 30% by 2035 IIRC haha
I wonder how they are going to make EV batteries for Canadas weather
Australia are far behind if anything
car paints are always gonna be bad
you can get outside temps of -40c to +40c lol
yeah Ive heard about them not having as much range at lower temps
ye
infact I saw one Canadian couldnt even get in their Tesla cuz the handle frosted up
then the door wouldnt open cuz the window was frosted too
My dad used to take a lighter to the diesel tank for our lil Astra haha
Oh and the old credit card trick for windshields every morning 😅
haha for scrapping it? a CC makes do in a pinch, its basically a plastic scrapper anyway
I wonder tho if they could devise some sort of new device like a block heater but for batteries or EVs; basically a block heater keeps your cars engine in running condition when it gets reallllllllly cold, and also stops the reg. car battery from dying
I live near the ocean and I do wonder what the corrosion on an EV would be like after a decade or so
least with a big old steel frame you can look at the rust, give it a she'll be right mate kick and it keeps on ticking
there are countries which have mandates on the age of vehicles though so maybe thats how the future will be, it'll be like phones where everyone gets a new car every 6 months to keep manufacturers like Tesla propped up 😛
lmao that would be crazy
Im just sad I never got to see the 60s Cadillacs when they were new
do they have appropriate sized car parks is the question
no idea haha
i just heard that Havana is basically a classic car paradise due to the embargo
hard to get parts so they just fix up old shiet/keep it running
thats what I'll be doing I think, try to save as many old cars as I can
if I have to do EV conversions I'll do that but Im hoping synthetic fuels will bridge the gap
there are e-turbos but manufacturers want you to buy their new cars so they dont offer them as aftermarket conversions
they like to tout the stats of stock EVs but truth is there are some very fast stock ICE cars before you even get into hybrids
but they never drag stock Teslas against real drag cars only production cars, one episode I saw of Grand Tour I think it was a supercar got dragged off by a slammed 4WD lol
ye but theres a lot of money behind ICEs in general, mostly racing and motorsport type stuff, but its still R&D
Maybe ICE will be like the luxury ones like classic muscles ones for now
ICE still has the HP on the upper, to match the HP with EV it has to be super super heavy
because its about power density or power to weight in old terms
realistically on the road mid-range is where most of the driving happens, even when cars get autopilot and all that stuff I bet the speed limits will still be stupidly low because safety
even if we can shoot cars down a tunnel at 500kmph just wont happen because the train is nicer
unlimited speed limits, robot cars ripping everywhere. A whole new meaning to the word Autobahn lol
yeah thats one of my arguments, doesnt matter how fancy your car is if the road is full of pot holes 😛
true eh
and a lot of that is dependent on the local climate, funding for roads, etc etc
some countries have amazing roads, always so smooth and well looked after, not sure why they just fall apart so easy here
in my province the roads are shiet because water freezing and thawing seems to EXPLODE asphalt lol
I was in Qld one time and omg the road was basically not even there, it floods so often I think they gave up on it
it was the worst highway Id ever seen
haha damn eh
we have what we call the o-bahn here its a track for buses so they basically become trains
trippy lol
theres little rollers like training wheels on the front which steers it
and then this happens
so many times, drivers are not to be underestimated
lmao classsssssic
Nice. At best we can drive over tram lines here.
It is slippery.
But feels nice.
these tracks do seem to be stronger than roads, they do get maintenanced but theyve lasted ages
I think its because they are elevated
hmm... I dunno. Tho railroads in general last ages. Judging by ours here - they are unmaintained by the look of it.
It is steel.
I guess roads do tend to have more traffic, these tracks are only for buses running a particular route
be so cool to see a high speed rail across the Nullarbor
How fast they go currently?
I dunno, maybe about 100kmph top even on the 90mile straight
its a huge bit of limestone so very flat, they could easily hit 500 if they tried
boring as hell to drive or fly, atleast on a train you got bit better comfort
gotta love how you ppl mix mph and km in one sentence.
So that like one marathon run distance.
in a straight line yup
Excluding the fauna chasing you.
its even worse when you work on old cars here you need both sets of tools
Ah, what is the norm nowadays, is it ISO units or is still imperial/freedom (lol) units?
metric but we used to be on the imperial system before I was born so alot of people in their 50s onwards are still on imperial
Metric for everything, imperial for heights lol
There is a hope then for the rest of the world.
I think British and American imperial systems are slightly different though
who weights things with stones
surely it depends on the size of the stone like it does with the persons foot
So does the metric system TBF, but there's reference pieces at CERN or France or somewhere
Are these river stones? Is there an "origin stone"?
oh a foot is a size 9 1/2.... but in what country
Maybe the average foot size (in UK/England) when the unit was devised
What I'm more confused about was Noah built the boat using fucking elbows as measurement. I don't think elbow sizes are commonly measured or labelled in any way 😐
they are all kinda personal measurements
you are sort of giving away your body sizes while making anything , but hey atleast the output is scaled to your body
guys
maybe he measured an elbow every time he needed more elbow grease
guys.
last night
while having to pee in the mid of the night
i ran out of toilette paper
and there it happened
BOOM
you should've hoarded more
use bidet btw
trams that usually ride on rails
had wheels
and could ride on the streets.
BOOOOOM
what if trams could float
btw are you related to someone called "owl"
in meta no one can see you pants
i see i see
i was the greatest and bestest user ever.
These kids dissing Unreal Tournament SMH
this avatar thing reminds me of those anime character youtubers
they had a term
VTuber I think
yeah
I only know that term because of this video lol

Weird guitar pedal test.Trying out the Korg Miku pedal. I'm not sure my life will ever be the same after this. Get the Korg Miku from Amazon:

Anime noises guitar pedal, this is what our scientists are working on SMH
miku is vocaloid right
Dunno what that is TBH
basically a program/AI that sings what you want
there are also vocaloids of other , things
Oh that sounds dull, the guitar pedal's at least expressive and... well, something physical
but miku is like the glorified one, they also hold concerts with that, some holographic stuff
idk
The closest I'd go to that is Baby Metal. The metal dudes in the background are actually amazing
it's kinda expressive depending on how skilled you are at song writing and shifting pitches in their thing
but it's still choppy
Then there's anime noises
i believe they are just doing anime noises because it's funny and gets attention when used this way
Baby Metal?
i haven't heard it but yeah
why else would you combine them xD
I thought it was just J-pop weirdness with good metal backing it instead of whatever is the usual
that does seems possible
eh whatever people enjoy
This is probably one of their memey songs, but it fucking slaps

not as weird as i expected, but the segments i heard didn't had any growl / scream etc, do they not do that?
Nah don't think so, the vocals are always the girls from what I've heard. I also tune them out so probably wouldn't notice them if they were in the middle of an album or something though
Think that's the goal too though, J-pop but with metal instrumental stuff. The instrumental stuff is interesting enough to warrant a listen for me 🙂
yeah, aside from some mismatch it's rather decent
i guess it's refreshing and those who like both would find it very cool or something
Yeah I did say it was one of their memey ones! Their first album was kinda gimmicky with "haha metal but anime noises", but the later ones blended the two much better (IMO).
I'm glad they exist anyway, get some anime/J-pop fans into metal.
yeah pretty cool, i wonder how their collabs would sound like
because in a way you collab with different genres at once
scrolling is mindless entertainment
guilty of that on reddit

Random thought: "full-stack" dev is such a misleading term...
what is that person in feedback on about mod promoting OF
looks like I need to get onto my no pants game dev series
i still don't know how to navigate #969360633386655744 😢
okay found it!
i agree with that laaang guy
the last one is just weird thinking this place is for assistance like answerhub etc, no one gets even any internet point for helping, this is 0 return for helpers and they gotta use up time
also the mods are practically volunteers, they can do what they want
trouble is you cant really put a points system to helping people
OF for UE devs? 🤔
aside from it not being a feature without external bots, it really wouldn't work well tbh
also, mods are for moderating the server and making sure nothing escalates beyond #rules
people are too busy implementing NFTs
You joke, but that a gold mine
oh baby you give the best blueprint support
I'll sell my fingernail photos
i will buy them
Lol
if i had money 😭
mechanical keyboard in the background all lit up like 🤤
50$ per picture
how much for a video of the clicky clack
how much is a mj subscription btw?
10$ for roughly 200 images a month
30$ for around 900 "fast" images and unlimited slow mode
hmmm OF sounds costly
That's a bit of a premium, around 55$, the price just dropped

Guess it come with consent then 🤔
Hmm, can't find that cheering trumpet emoji that laura often use, what's the name again?
me have no clue 😐
can anyone really consent to grapes
and there are stages of consent
"what's the best thing that person can do to get away from you?" is a "stop"

Dear senpais, would you recommend that people start learning C first before actually touching C++?
Or would you just tell them to jump into the deep edge and learn C++ from scratch?
is it the first programming language this person has learnt?
I started by learning C first decades ago, but don't know whether that's still recommended or not.
Not sure, probably, trying to give an additional advice to someone wanting to learn c++ at #ue4-general
Jump straight into c++, honestly don't see a point starting with c
I think there are easier languages to start learning to program than C++ but yeah if they want to get in and do UE4 stuff C++ is the way
Learning the way of masters is not a road for the weak hearts.
Yeah c++ if you hate yourself
Would probably actually recommend something easy like python for a total beginner
BPs btw
I mean programming in general, if it's ue then BPs ofc
programming concepts are pretty transferrable even among completely different syntax... dunno what the plural of that word is, syntaxi?
syntaxes 🤔
that sounds like its gonna cost me
Is cheap
But if the goal is C++ and they are debating starting with C might as well just jump straight into C++ which is basically just better C anyways
It is important the teaching material tho.
I mean, it shouldn't teach that there are like 15+ ways to initialise a variable.
One is enuf
seems its both, Syntaxis
too greek
Could write a book just about initialization, feel like someone was bored when making the c/c++ standard lol
Im gonna have to try to work that word into more of my regular conversation
Well, in my case, I started with C to understand the basics of the syntax and notation, then move on to java and C# for basic understanding of OOP, only touched C++ when I started doing game dev.
c++ has a lot of history ¯_(ツ)_/¯
oop is in tons of langs
python e.g.
If scientist are so mad about it, then is easy language.
But then again, that was a long time ago, the world didn't move as fast as it is now, so not sure if that approach still holds.
The good thing with learning C++ is that once you know it you can easily pick up other languages
I mean, I had a gf which was totally out of tech and still able to learn basic python
too bad she is/was more into manicure and trips overboard
GF, what is that?
Good fry? I like McDonald's fries
Generic Fish
Lol
Can MJ generate furry gf?
Sadly it can
Pretty sure it already did, blue man posted some already in #generative-ai .
Here is a sample
heh, catgirl vase
Lol
is that kiwi fruit
I have a lot more where that came from 😅
i am not a furry but this is better than 99% furry art i have seen so far.
is that a tongue on the forehead
I'm not a furry but I actually like this lol
its better than the movie Cats
yeah , and it feels original for some reason, flower cat
affectionate user! you're back!
i was always back !
I appreciate you being here
I didn't watch it yet, I kinda feel like that's a good thing lol
i appreciate you being here as well 🫂
you're the best!
i saw the memes
it's weird
what is this
advanced furry
That's something straight from a nightmare
Magneto doing cosplay
affurrionate_user?
Lol that's how I'm gonna imagine them from now on
Somebody actually grateful you're around AU, quite the progress 🥳
DONT TELL ME!!
That gif should say "hey there, want a hug?"
A whole collection, and some generating this moment, you can't escape it
Did the catpunk work at all btw?
I am currently in a midjourney
as a newbie
Oh I did generate cat punk angels, I posted it in #generative-ai
Haven't tried it with anything else but it works nicely
god
its good to be back at home
i was on vacation this week
finally i can spread my legs
wings
i mean wings
I mean for the non-retro ones, from the batch of the darth vader cat.
Looks like the AI not sure what to do with it.
70
thats quite alot
i am a kickboxer afterall.
how long have you been hitting the gym?
So you hit boxes in your spare time?
That's quite a hobby, do boxes ever fight back?
🥳 🥳 😭 😭 🍇
I think I do like 65 on the pulldown as well, it's awkies past that. Have you tried the double cables ones? They feel weirdly different
that suddenly changes it a lot xD
Lol
you guys are insanely strong how long have u been hitting the gym?
Bro plz ban furry Gandalf, he's giving me nightmares
I do 55 😭
oh lol
Idk like 5 years. I don't really push max weights though
wow 5 years nice
All about that slow, deliberate hypertrophy
Good for you man
yeahhh
ah
It's fun as fuck TBH, gets me out of the house and feeling pumped
i think 8 years ago i did 40
That's about 3 times faster than I do mine, prefer safe technique and long activation than e-peen from big numbers I guess haha
nice
very true yeah
My gf introduced me to drop sets and I'm hooked, but they give me big time DOMS. It's a good sign anyway. Would recommend
what's DOMS
When you get sore muscles the day after a gym sesh
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness I think
I do drop sets pretty much on every exercise, I'm dead afterwards but it's worth it
really squeezes out whatever you got left
oh yeah I get that all the time haha
Fucking hell, couldn't imagine that haha. I sacrifice too much technique if I do many in one day
you gotta aim to barely do the last rep but still do it
it's not very easy to know how much you need but whatever you're doing is good
Like 7 or 8 years ago I was really into parkour and now I sit infront of my pc all day lol
And even tho I'm sitting all day I literally can't gain weight
Idk I do a more brutal version, rest for 5-10 seconds and then go at the same weight
Eg incline bench last set would be 60 * 8, 5, 3. Then I die
10 second rest?? that's insane
"don't you eat something"
I don't bench normal at this point lol. I barely bench 😅
I can eat as much as I want and nothing sticks lol
I fell out of habit first with COVID then thesis, and now doing 60-70 max just makes me sad
same my man, same 😔 , and my relatives were like "eat something" as if that would work
Yeah literally the same situation
just eat something 🤷
are you on the menu?
😳
nah but fr you two have to be on calorie surplus, you have to eat more calories than you burn
Yes it's the creepy hour again I see 😅
go to a dieterian and calculate your daily calorie intake
it was too tempting to miss !
and always eat some more cals than yesterday
I literally sit all day, unless my brain is burning 99% of the calories
that way you're guaranteed to gain weight eventually
it actually does burn calories haha
i feel like this could help, i have heard you gotta eat the right stuff and burn some
have you tried eating 6 pizzas a day
the pizzas tada
No hahaha, that's mad
just eat Shawarma on the daily
Isolateral I bench like 30
what's that
Kinda, I used to eat cevapi (google it) a few times a day because there was a fast food place near my friend's house, gained nothing
I envy you
even i could eath in fash foods i dont gain weight
i have heard that we need to excercise or else the body doesn't even think it needs to store anything
true
so you say stop excercising to lose weight?
The thing with me is even if I gain like 5kg I can literally lose them in a day so it is really difficult for me to keep any weight I gain
no, do cardio to lose weight
i heard people that stop gain more weight because the body knows it has to prepare in case you excercise again
oo binary stars
oh yeah, heavy people are attractive, as per physics
don't assume their preference, they might be non-binary
oh ffs lol
way to store energy more compact way to torn all the gains to more compact storaged energy
I've been doing some cardio recently, from what I read 70-85% of your max heart rate is for actual cardio, you burn less fat there, has to do something with the body using different energy sources
Below 70% is for burning fat and losing weight
ok but what if you heart rate jumps to 90% be making 2 steps though
so we gotta stay chill and run or something?
take a 2 min break!
It's like a bench press but you do one arm at a time on a machine, it's sick. Helps a lot with stabilising muscles etc
well you can grow mucles more so you actually gain weight
okay sk0g is super ripped or something i guess
I don't think I've ever been under 70% max HR while running lol
how do you know what your max HR is? 🤔
ohh
70% is 136.5
ohhh
I can actually see a noticable improvement in my heart rate since I started, I got that bike exercise machine thing
When I first started like a month ago my heart rate would spike up to 170 after like 30 seconds, now it stays below 140 after 10min and around 3km
And my resting heart rate is lower now too, around 57-65
I'm quite happy with that
let me calculate mine
me running -> at least 170 lol
you became athelete wow
i keep under it
i heard atheletes have lower heart rates
The most efficient state of being lol
have you asked your doctor to check if you're actually dead?
Me?
no janisku
i just put some things to Thread.Sleep()
I eat minimum amount once a day and I still gain weight, don't get people who eat a lot and gain nothing.
do you also lift 70kg with each finger?
arm*
whatever that was
I wore a holter monitor thing for a day (I fell unconscious like 5 months ago, lucky everything with the heart is perfect, my blood pressure suddenly dropped when I jumped out of bed) it recorded 32 as my lowest heart rate while sleeping, that was kinda terrifying to see but all the doctors said that it was fine because I'm on the skinnier side
Yup, inside a a hyperbolic time chamber while sporting long spiky blonde hair.
that's scary
that's like not even 1 beat a sec, more like 1.9 sec something
If you eat too little it causes your body to start saving energy which may contribute to weight issues despite barely eating
so the trick is not eating and eating
Huh, probably so 🤔
we should ping dieter
The trick is to know how many calories you need to eat and then eating a little bit under that. Too much of a calorie deficit causes the energy saving mode
ie. idle calorie burn + any calorie burn from exercise = needed calorie amount
the exercisebike even get wobble when i get to more max out but it might break, the rowing machine get move and still i can get one extra step faster but then my head start hurt as it cant keep up,
Is there any disadvantage to calorie savings? Aside from the weight gain.
oh yeah, now that you mentioned it, i did hear wrong dieting has the opposite effect
@supple apex most likely poor overall energy since your body would be effectively slowing down
you do lose a lot of weight if you stop eating entirely for like 3 months
I have loose weight when eat one meal a day and keep on moving
the body is so mysterious
It was a terrifying experience, I never mentioned it here when it happened
I jumped out, went to the toilet, couldn't feel my pulse, started losing hearing and vision and within 2 minutes collapsed
The diagnosis was vasovagal syncope, harmless since no issues with the heart were found but still terrifying, at the moment you don't know if you are gonna wake up or that's it
Pretty sure I have like ptsd from it, when I'm situations that remind me of it I get like panic attacks which I never had and my heart rate spikes up ro like 170, it's been driving me insane
army on camp weeks i was loosing weight as not so much time to eat
that's understandable 😔 , atleast it's okay now
i believe this probably gets worse when you get terrified
i have lost breathing for while as allergy for horses hit so harrd as in same space on stables
I sometimes get heart palpitations where it feels like my heart skips a beat, it's an annoying feeling but the doc says it's "probably nothing" because some people get those just for shits and giggles apparently
since I have no other symptoms associated with them
i just walked to clear air and had to wait to get back
why is the human body so scary 😭
when will we get to move to mechanical bodies
actually on second thought that might be worse initially
100% :p
scary moments when I have seen myself on third person view one point when fainted and doctors didnt find the reason for faints
just play some Deus Ex or watch some GitS and you'll start to wonder if it's a good idea lol
I can't go to the toilet without being reminded about it 😐
do you stay alone ? 🤔
Did you manage to found the cause of why that happened? Not the diagnosis, the reason why it occured that time.
I have them too sometimes, they are called PVCs, it's basically when one of the chambers fires sooner than it should, if you have less than 100 a day it's considered normal and more than 10k is when it's dangerous
There are periods when I get them often, I haven't had them in like 6 months now, it usually for me happens in high stress and adrenaline situations
They are harmless and very common if you heart is healthy
I sometimes get like very strong heartbeats that feel like getting punched after eating or quickly standing up
Yeah
Sometimes I can feel my heart beat really strongly but the speed otherwise is normal ¯_(ツ)_/¯
that's really terrifying
Yeah same, mostly after eating or quickly standing up for me
the heart feels like some ticking time bomb in that case
lol
I think it's just a sensation tbh and not necessarily indicative of anything
From what I understand if you actually had some heart related issue, you would also feel otherwise like shit when these happen
Like you'd be noticeably short of breath or feel pain in your chest
unless it scares you so much you develop some indications 😨
you guys need to go see some doctors
i am going to run rn thanks for scaring me enough to motivate me for that lol
running will make your heart explode
I can do heavy exercise just fine and it doesn't trigger palpitations or anything like that so it seems fine from that perspective a well, if it was triggered by exercise that's also a warning sign
also, we are always Here for you blue man, not really trained doctors but we can atleast listen
I also have respiratory arrhythmia which is basically normal in younger people and it actually a sign of a healthy nervous system
Basically I can fully control my heart with breathing, when breathing in it speeds up and when breathing out it slows down for a few seconds even to the point where there is almost 2 seconds between heartbeats
if i walk all day it should be fine training !
Thanks autocorrect...
wait that's not how it should normally be then?
yes
my heart just goes boom boom and I accept the way it is
dieter right here just relaxed regardless of whatever happens lol
accepting their fate
