[broken sigil]

Lol

[foggy path]

interesting, I've noticed my heartbeat also sometimes goes up when breathing deeply in and slows down when going out, but I figured it was normal as it would average out and iirc it's a sign of a healthy heart if it can change the speed up and down like that

it doesn't slow down to like 2 second pauses though :P

[deep copper]

yeah i am definitely going to always walk throughout the day if possible, or atleast keep standing

[proud jay]

standing desk is bae

not proven to be healthy

but at least feels nice to stand up once in a while

[deep copper]

i like standing stuff because once you sit down after that it feels so nice

[soft night]

standing desk might be handy as i keep playing some games with controller on standing

[broken sigil]

It gradually gets better as you get older

From what I've read strong heartbeats are normal after eating, stress, standing up etc.. so I'm not too worried about it, after all all my tests including ultrasound were perfect

So you are probably fine too

[foggy path]

Yeah

[deep copper]

i recall standing up once but i blacked out and fell, then after a while came to normal, i didn't think much about it, but since then i have gotten better
one thing i changed was, i increased my water intake a lot

[proud jay]

if you faint, no matter the cause, probably go check with a doctor

[broken sigil]

I do also have thalassemia minor so I'm constantly anemic basically and often have shortness of breath but I can exercise fine and very difficult to get tired

[deep copper]

i was probably stressed a lot in those days, and the doctors are least helpful at times, 90% times i went there, it always came down to "maybe stress"

[foggy path]

lol yeah maybe stress was basically what they told me too

[proud jay]

stress is the cause for a lot of shit though

[foggy path]

but that's really the common cause I guess when you have no other symptoms that would indicate anything

[proud jay]

con't always do something about it though

[deep copper]

i am guessing yeah

[noble plaza]

CI/CO is not the be all, end all of weight gain/ loss tbh. Types of calories matter, the climate you live in, average activity level your body is used to, your thyroid activity, etc etc

[foggy path]

there's no "type" of calorie

[proud jay]

lol I read that and was thinking about CI/CD, really sudden topic change

[deep copper]

as long as you have been to a doctor i think it's fine for now

[noble plaza]

There are different sources of them, what?

[deep copper]

atleast you know about it

[foggy path]

Yeah you get them from different sources but the calories are still the same

Ie. there's no "100 good calories is better than 100 bad calories"

[noble plaza]

And they're digested differently so affect your weight differently

Eg simple carbs vs fiber

[foggy path]

at the end of day it's still calories in/calories out, of course if you eat garbage you will get more calories for smaller amounts of food and feel hungry faster so the end result is more difficult to manage

[broken sigil]

Yeah I have, 2 ultrasounds, EKG, holter and 2 different cardiologists for a 2nd opinion, everything was perfectly fine

[noble plaza]

CICO is an oversimplification of a complex topic

Treating it as the holy grail just leads to bad outcomes because there's more to it

[foggy path]

I don't really know what there is to it if your body uses calories for energy and that's what counts when you either gain or lose weight

[deep copper]

maybe you are also too stressed 😔 🫂

[broken sigil]

I wad lying in bed for like 5 hours on my phone and I very quickly jumped out to go to the toilet and all the doctors think it's because my blood pressure dropped too quickly and couldn't recover

I often get like tunnel vision for a second when standing up too quickly but it always recovers instantly

[broken sigil]

Wouldn't be surprised

[deep copper]

the times i got tunnel vision was when I didn't have enough sleep

[slim atlas]

i myself have to deal with low blood pressure too

exercise really makes it easier

[deep copper]

what excercise do you do exactly?

[broken sigil]

Mine is usually on the lower side always, like 107/70 is like typical normal for me

[slim atlas]

any exercise is ok

as long as your heart needs to work for it

[deep copper]

does walking or swinging a spoon really fast count?

[broken sigil]

After my month of cardio I'm not getting the tunnel vision thing that often anymore but my bp is always on the lower side

Most doctors actually say that lower bp is a good thing, less stress on the whole system

[deep copper]

alright, time to do cardio

[broken sigil]

But yeah, a month of cardio and my heart rate is by 30 lower when exercising the same amount I did at the start, I'm pretty happy with that

[supple apex]

What, spoon workout like neo in the matrix?

"There is no spoon"

[broken sigil]

I'm also very lucky that I have minor, with other variations of thalassemia you are lucky to live past 30

[supple apex]

Sudden change of blood pressure I guess, should probably take things a bit slowly. How old are you again bm?

[noble plaza]

Tunnel vision? Like the rest of your eyesight fading to white?

[broken sigil]

22, yeah if I stand up more slowly I'm fine

[supple apex]

Either that, or where your peripheral turned black

[broken sigil]

Would describe it more like seeing stars for a few seconds lol

And the edges getting dark

[deep copper]

no you swing it real fast! it makes this cool swoosh sound

[broken sigil]

Once I'm up it's fine, it's that change from resting to standing

[deep copper]

you often don't realise the edges getting dark part, unless it comes back to normal

[noble plaza]

Oh that, yeah. I thought you were talking about migraines

[supple apex]

Sounds like something an anime protagonist would say or do.
Hmmm... (looking at your profile pic, sus)

[broken sigil]

I have a tilt table test coming up in the next months that will test for this blood pressure changes, they said it's mostly to give me advice how to adapt to it

[deep copper]

yes! but no, i used to do it even before anime 😅

before i was introduced to anime*

[noble plaza]

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5639963/

An approach that considers macro-nutrients, energy density, and glycemic load may help to prevent energy compensation.

You can also just shock your body into crippling your energy expenditure, among other fun mechanisms. Bodies are far too complex for CICO to be helpful in many cases.

[supple apex]

Does your family have any history of heart problem?

[noble plaza]

I thought it was just a known tall person thing TBH, the sudden loss of blood to the brain from getting up quickly

I think it's something to do with BP regulation as well, but not too sure

[supple apex]

The megane returns~

[broken sigil]

I do also have experience with migraines with auras lol
it was very terrifying the first time, basically my vision becomes like looking through broken glass, seeing weird symbols, lines, and having a tiny spot of my vision that I can see through

[deep copper]

come on it's safe!

what's wrong with a three way hug?

[noble plaza]

Yeah when it happened to me the first time I thought I was going blind permanently lol. I've learned how to squash it before it becomes an issue, just need to recognise the signs early enough

[broken sigil]

Nope
It isn't a heart problem, my heart is fine

It's more to do with blood vessels not contracting when they should, they told me there is no treatment for that and it isn't really dangerous

[deep copper]

think about what's the worst that can happen! nothing!!

[broken sigil]

Just annoying

[deep copper]

and that's what is bound to happen! so..?

[noble plaza]

I just tell work I'm getting one and I go lay down in bed for a while, worst case scenario. Gotta use up the sick days somehow, I usually take like 1 a year otherwise

[deep copper]

so even excercise can't cure it completely🤔

[noble plaza]

But the moment you know you're getting one, down some fizzy aspirin and have some caffeine, preferably carbonated. Easy

[broken sigil]

I usually go to bed as soon as I see it so I avoid the worst

I got used to it 😅

[noble plaza]

The method above is what my doctor recommended and gotta say, it works. The fuzzy aspirins spread faster, and caffeine is to pump up your heart rate too, for the same effect

What about it? You don't get it paid out otherwise, and it's just free money for the company

[deep copper]

what does migraine looks like?

[broken sigil]

Lmao should I put that in my resume

[noble plaza]

It's a whole thing, there's a few different effects

Oh yeah, sick days here are like holiday days, you have to earn them over time and then use them up or lose them. So it's like holiday time but worse

If you get sick early on into a job, tough titties 🤷

[broken sigil]

Insane headache you can't imagine plus if you have auras with it it you get weird visual artifacts that are terrifying the first time it happens

[noble plaza]

There's a distinct pain, it's more in the back of the head for me. The pain is the nicest part, you get after-migraine pain that seems to engulf your entire fucking brain, which is.... not fun

[deep copper]

i think i might have had them 🤔

[broken sigil]

Oh yeah you can't take a shi* without your whole head hurting lol

[deep copper]

so just sleep aye? got it

[broken sigil]

It can last a week, like the remaining symptoms

[noble plaza]

I'd recommend aspirin! Works well

[noble plaza]

Oof wtf, never had it for longer than a day. If I get to that point life will be pain

[deep copper]

then maybe not, my headaches with similar effects go away next day 🤔

[noble plaza]

Samesies 🤞

Migraines are pretty varied, there's lots of affects and severities

[broken sigil]

Mine are usually a day but the longest one was a week,

Wad fine after a day or 2 but had lingering pain for a week

[deep copper]

i think i see artifacts like lights with weird rainbow circles around them, maybe what aura mean?

[broken sigil]

Yep

It differs from person to person

[noble plaza]

Bro that's just the shrooms 😛

[deep copper]

what's with this super personalized issue ?!

[broken sigil]

What did we learn today

We are all broken in some way lol

[deep copper]

_when you don't do shrooms 😨 _

[broken sigil]

No clue but every person will have slightly different experience

[deep copper]

i would say cleanse this up with ai art but that became a seperate channel

[noble plaza]

I never get the halo, but do get the Looney Tunes vision happening. Slowly fogs up from the outside in, like their old outros

[deep copper]

that halo effect goes away slightly after my eye pressure reduction drops

but it comes back after a few minutes if I don't sleep

[noble plaza]

Catgirls and grapes, what a combo

[deep copper]

oddly enough, that's not as bad as i expected

https://tenor.com/view/sheppy-shisha-shisha-sheppy-husky-maid-gif-21097707

they actually managed to spin in that 🤔

i think the gif is fairly sfw

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/oshamy-oshamy-the-furry-dog-fursuit-furry-gif-26165191

[foggy path]

I gave this a read and at no point does it dispute that calories in/calories out is the thing which has the effect on the bottom line. All it says (I'm simplifying a bit) is that there are mechanisms in the body that affect your appetite so if you have a calorie deficit you tend to feel like eating more to compensate for it

[deep copper]

so you were busy reading all this time 🤔

[foggy path]

Nah I was doing some other stuff and read it now :P

[noble plaza]

A first step will be to get beyond simply trying to reduce caloric intake.

I didn't say CICO is worthless, I said there's more to it than just that

[pearl elk]

just stop eating and drinking, voila

[foggy path]

Sure, but the thing is that it tends to end up making it feel too complicated for the average person

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-sunglasses-deal-with-it-thumbsup-gif-9442003

[deep copper]

you will be thin for the rest of your life

[noble plaza]

The average person is an idiot who should probably seek expert advice, no offence

[foggy path]

The easiest way for an average person who wants to make a conscious change is to understand their required calorie intake, and then make a conscious effort to follow how much they eat

[deep copper]

the way those finger bones bend 🤔

[foggy path]

When you understand that eating a big portion of something gives you too many calories, and if you replace say half of it with salad you're good, that leads to more lasting change

[pearl elk]

trust me, Im an expert

[noble plaza]

Do that suddenly and you're just going to eat two portions spaced out, because sudden change will lead to you feeling hungry

With 100% perfect discipline that may work, but that's not practical for almost anyone

[foggy path]

Of course, you have to start with smaller changes such as simply adding more healthy choices to your current diet without necessarily attempting to reduce it otherwise

Although this of course depends on things like how obese you are

I just have a bit of a dad bod and I'm not really that obese so for me it's not a big thing lol

[noble plaza]

Obese-obese is hard as fuck to recover from as well, when you're past the point of being able to force yourself to do cardio

[foggy path]

I forget where I read it and I don't think it even applied to food in particular, but it basically said "add more good instead of worrying about removing bad"

[noble plaza]

Apparently swimming pool 'walking' is a common alternative, protects your bones and joints while burning some calories

[foggy path]

so I've heard yeah

[deep copper]

if you can walk in a pool yeah sure
the waves are super strong though

[noble plaza]

The what? 😄

[deep copper]

waves, in the pool

[noble plaza]

Why the fuck are there waves in your pool? Am I stupid or

[foggy path]

have you been to a swimming pool

lol

[deep copper]

yes, the water shakes so much if you try to walk

i guess i am just disbalanced in a pool 😢

[foggy path]

:D

[noble plaza]

Me?

[foggy path]

no I meant a_u

since the wave thing didn't make any sense at all lol

[noble plaza]

I mean I've swam, but TBH I've never tried to walk so maybe but dunno

Like pools are stationary water, it's not turbulent or anything usually

Maybe if it's a wave pool, for surfing practice or something

[deep copper]

i can't swim so probably why walking was hard

[foggy path]

you do it like this so it doesn't really make a lot of waves when your body is entirely underwater

you can't even move so quickly as you do it

[deep copper]

i guess this is easy once you can swim xD

[topaz depot]

ohh I know what you're talking about
yeah it works on stabalizing? might start doing it

[timber viper]

today's lounge topics looks quite strange 🤔

[noble plaza]

Do it! I've found it super beneficial.

Your big lifts are only as strong as the weakest link, and the stabilising muscles develop much slower, unless targeted a bit more specifically.

You'll notice your big lifts getting stabler and it helps break through plateaus etc

[timber viper]

i've been reading since ten minutes but still no idea what the context is

but seems like it was keeping au busy since he is not able to throw hugs

[noble plaza]

Lifting weights and losing weight are today's specials

Check back in tomorrow for our next set of topics!

[timber viper]

I need to gain weight though, how do we do that

[noble plaza]

There's actually a Month Python sketch about going to a restaurant to sample conversation topics haha

[noble plaza]

Go to gym, eat lots, delete fb

Last one there just to be safe

Do you want to gain weight or muscle? 😅

[timber viper]

I deleted fb back in.. around 2016 I guess 🤔

[timber viper]

both

I'm around 1.80cm but 55-60kg depending on my monthly mood

I need 15kg more 😂

I went to gym for 1 year, did kickboks, weight lifting, swimming

and ate a lot

with gainer shakes

didnt help

doctor said I need to live like this

[noble plaza]

Bro you live in Turkey, how the heck are you underweight with so much delicious food

[timber viper]

i'll be 55-60kg forever

[deep copper]

i did a few in there but the topics were too terrifying for me to throw in more 😅

[timber viper]

i eat everything but still underweight

[timber viper]

recently you started to become more cautious

[noble plaza]

Do you eat too clean maybe? Calculated how much you eat daily vs TDEE?

[stiff crystal]

or just wait till you get older

[timber viper]

yeah, based on the calorie math I should have taken 1.5kg last month

but didnt

[stiff crystal]

I couldn't gain weight when I was younger

[timber viper]

i really dont understand why, none of the doctors are able to provide useful info

[stiff crystal]

now it's like the opposite

[deep copper]

that's a huge warning

[timber viper]

I'm 21, how much I need to wait 😂

[noble plaza]

Metabolism goes brr maybe

[timber viper]

probably but can we even solve that?

[stiff crystal]

I mean, I was normal weight at younger age, nothing alarming about it

[foggy path]

Eat kebab every day

[stiff crystal]

just meant I didn't have to think about it

[timber viper]

i do

[noble plaza]

It's not something most people would want to solve haha

Don't eat filling foods like fat. Eat things that digest quickly maybe, like simple carbs

Bread is life

[timber viper]

i actually dont eat bread

maybe thats why i'm underweight

it has some huge amount of calorie

if i can get used to eating one bread each day maybe I can get very fat

[noble plaza]

Fiber and fat are filling and slower digesting, but there's much more to it

[deep copper]

they can be fluffy and crunchy too!

[broken sigil]

That's basically like me, welcome to the twigs club lol

[pearl elk]

who got the gains

[broken sigil]

There is more in #generative-ai

[pearl elk]

I was gonna say, that doesnt look like butter

[timber viper]

i hate it 🥲

[broken sigil]

We all do 🥲

Anyways off to bed

Adding Stephen King to the prompt gives it this slightly creepy look

[deep copper]

that looks really awesome!

[timber viper]

I was just going to trigger automod

[deep copper]

the lighting theme is also consistent i wonder why

ah stephan king, explains

e*

[broken sigil]

Yeah, I'm experimenting with his name lol

[deep copper]

cool cool

i think my sister has a book with that name

[broken sigil]

He is the author of The shining, It, etc..

[supple apex]

@sand oxide #ue4-general response related, you should probably start some youtube c++ lessons and tutorial so people stop relying on cherno, influencers attract more people than books or articles nowadays.

Not to mention, showering in that youtube passive income money~

[fathom wadi]

I wanted to do Youtube tutorials but I found Onlyfans is much more profitable.

[pearl elk]

OnlyCode

[cursive crypt]

The video generation. I wonder what the next will be.

[pearl elk]

VR tutorials

[timber viper]

cherno isnt that bad though

not enough to make Laura angry to create a new YT channel

[fleet tangle]

And after VR, the actual reality tutorials where people meet you in real life.

And we've come full circle!

[pearl elk]

Real programmers can write curly braces on paper

[deep copper]

wait it actually works?!

[fathom wadi]

Yeah. I mean, my tutorials are pretty lacking but my manboob pics are top notch.

[deep copper]

just use a different name like lau or something and link to it in case someone doesn't want to give up on vids

[pearl elk]

Void Moob

[deep copper]

there was a famous qoute "flat is justice"

very popular in the anime community

[noble plaza]

flat is justice? hwa

one day you wake up and grape emojis removed from discord

what would you do

[ancient ingot]

😭

[cursive crypt]

Treat myself with icecream.

[deep copper]

i dm ben "what's your next favourite fruit"

[timber viper]

so all is to please ben?

[deep copper]

grape was his stuff to begin with, i didn't even like it, then dieter went the "i will carry your wishes" route and started adding them to all my messages

[timber viper]

damn u ditere

[deep copper]

and for some reason blue man started getting suggestions to write grape prompts

[timber viper]

so all is his fault

i hate grapes

[deep copper]

the proginator (?) is ben

[timber viper]

!laura8ball did they mean progenitor?

[deep copper]

ngl yes

yes i did, but suggestion strip didn't show it and i was lazy to open google

[timber viper]

so hows your procrastination going

since you just procrastinate when you are in lounge especially when you have a job to do

[deep copper]

who are you asking?

[timber viper]

you

[deep copper]

if me then i am half working rn

[timber viper]

laura doesnt procrastine she finish her job in one hour and be toxic in cpp

[noble plaza]

I was like 80% sure AU was just here for the vibes TBH

And grape-scented hugs

[noble plaza]

Laura trains day and night to get faster at her job so she can roast more newbies in #cpp . Cue anime style training montage, with finger weights and blindfolds

Holy shit it's a legit reacc

[deep copper]

roach egg scent

[deep copper]

i don't even make games or anything with ue lol

so yeah, just the sweet grapy vibe

[timber viper]

how did you even end up in slackers

[deep copper]

that explains the insane reading and writing speed

[noble plaza]

At least a quarter of the channel is LNK2019, feels like

https://tenor.com/view/typing-jim-carrey-fast-busy-gif-4903969

[timber viper]

that took too long to answer au

did you fight dragons

[deep copper]

you see, i was once very much like "i wanna make a game" only to realise i didn't even play many, and if I don't want to consume it why should i even make anything.
but during that time i experimented in ue and procrastinated here, it was fun
more like in the older slack slack, not discord slack

[timber viper]

and went through death valleys

[deep copper]

i thought i should answer like blue man

everything in one go

[timber viper]

so you are here since 2016?

[deep copper]

yes

[noble plaza]

I barely play games TBH, spend a lot more time deving.

When I do play a game, I usually play a few hours to explore the mechanics, then get bored and drop it. One big recent exception was Elden Ring though

[deep copper]

no as au though

Hahaha I remember this dude being fucking annoying/ a 12ie, got out of hand and a mod banned him

[deep copper]

ah, nice, guess making it job really changes it

[noble plaza]

2 minutes later a new account pops in and first message was "hey, {old user} here. Please answer question"

[timber viper]

so you saw vblanco's daily optimization tip messages, Allar's daily chats and other people actually talking about real development in lounge, and in this dark age you observe some minority dominates cpp and lounge with shitpost

must be tough to watch

[noble plaza]

I mean a 12 year old, either literally, or in terms of apparent mental age 🙂

[timber viper]

latest message a few months ago though

[deep copper]

idk allar but i think i know the other, i was there when lous was not a mod, and lady gilga something was still owl, ambershee was more common , ioflow was sending ba dm ts monkey gifs, and hevedy also showed up more with a different pic

[timber viper]

tim learned how gi works from xii engine

[deep copper]

oh yeah, exi was a mod back then too i think? idk

[noble plaza]

XII as in Final Fantasy? Or am I too young/dumm

[timber viper]

vblanco's lounge messages are full of very useful infos for any ue programmer, since he also sometimes talk about ps4 😂

literally xii engine

[timber viper]

hevedy asks some random question -> vblanco takes it very seriously and provide very detailed answer -> hevedy asks another unrelevant random question -> repeat

[deep copper]

Ah that blue pfp guy

[timber viper]

i needed to be there in 2018 to ask better questions

[noble plaza]

Wait was that the one with a very fucking naive feature comparison, and wild promises?

Meanwhile there was one or two sample projects that looked like cutting edge Xbox (OG) graphics

[deep copper]

i have to say hevedy 's english improved which surprised me

[timber viper]

this server improved my english too

at 2020 i was barely able to speak

lol

you're welcome

[noble plaza]

shut it u egg xoxo

[deep copper]

it averages it out i guess

[noble plaza]

Your English slowly becomes an amalgamation of random slang

[timber viper]

did your c++ become worse too?

[deep copper]

you gotta master it to insult others better

[timber viper]

and taking revenge from random people for that 🤣

[noble plaza]

Guys I think xii engine may have vanished

[timber viper]

its not

[cursive crypt]

#cpp gossips

[noble plaza]

My Googling skills are failing me then

[timber viper]

did u know we also do #lounge gossips in #cpp

[cursive crypt]

huh

[gusty star]

we could just pretend #cpp doesn't exist, like beilefeld (german city that germans satirically pretend doesn't exist)

[noble plaza]

Australia and Finland too, don't exist

[timber viper]

#cpp is lounge when mods are not observing

[noble plaza]

Maps are lies.

[timber viper]

its quantum

[cursive crypt]

mods were bribed

[noble plaza]

Out variables < multiple returns, downvote me if I'm rght

[gusty star]

are you telling me #cpp and #lounge are like an observed and unobserved cat, maybe ina box?

[timber viper]

there was a phase where all mods constnatly watching cpp and checking for offtopic

i wonder why and how it ended

[noble plaza]

#cpp and #blueprint are most of this server's activity at times

Fuck me, that's a lot of linker errors getting Dieter'd

[gusty star]

so I watched some of those Cherno c++ videos and learned how the compiler, linker and a c++ file is made lol. 10 out of 10^10 million XP gained

[cursive crypt]

I heard the mod alarm ringin

[cursive crypt]

Everyone knows it is the storks who bring them

[noble plaza]

Implying you ever stop learning new and quirky things about ++C

[timber viper]

[gusty star]

hmmmm

i'd probably learn more ngl

[cursive crypt]

is cherno for ue?

[gusty star]

eh its more general C++ but he is a game dev

[cursive crypt]

Random fact: c++20 concepts were defined in 98', took them 22 years to put them in the standard.

[gusty star]

but he works on some Need for Speed mobile game that he helped build the engine for lol?

[timber viper]

can you stop making me less happier with truths

[noble plaza]

The quality of the programming here

[cursive crypt]

Why? Language is hard. Makes you think before inventing your own.

[noble plaza]

They were on... Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order somehow

[gusty star]

that sounds pretty awesome

listening to some tracks rn

[noble plaza]

Actually TY for the reminder, August is like 4 gigs here and I haven't booked them yet 😐

[gusty star]

haha you're welcome, hopefully the show is good!!!

[deep copper]

give them a hug after pointing each out, should calm them down!

[noble plaza]

M8 at this point I'm dying to hear a guitar that's not played by me! I've missed live music big time, slowly coming back

I'm hyped as fuck though, live music is awesome

[gusty star]

Agreed, live music is the best. I use to go to hardcore / punk / metal local shows as a teen. the bands sucked but it was usually fun any way.

[zinc matrix]

https://youtube.com/shorts/yIrwQSM3N1Q?feature=share

[noble plaza]

I went to a hardcore gig once and it was by far the worst one I've been into. Not because of the music, but because I was surrounded by girls about 4'10 with steel capped boots swinging blindly at the air... That was a terrifying experience hah

[zinc matrix]

Oh no

[noble plaza]

I just realised Nick Cherno is Australian 🧠

[zinc matrix]

Just realized?

[gusty star]

lmao ye, and hardcore "dancing".... ugh. mf'ers be shadowboxing

[zinc matrix]

Isn’t it obvious?

[noble plaza]

For people who watch his videos, and can recognise an Australian accent, yes I suppose it is

[zinc matrix]

If you are in the server there are a lot of clues there

[gusty star]

the drop bears are a dead give away eh?

[noble plaza]

It's weird because metal is all scary visually but the people are big softies. Then hardcore is harmless smol girls that transform into death traps haha

[zinc matrix]

For example a former manager from ea hq Australia was there

[noble plaza]

Again bro, I haven't watched his videos. Why would I join his server

[zinc matrix]

Oh

I just figured you watched his videos since they are on cpp

[noble plaza]

I can tell he's Australian from him speaking a single sentence though. He's got a slight twang that's either Melbourne or... not entirely 'straight'

Ah no, I have learned mostly from books TBH. They're good, easier to focus when it's not a smart device too

I thought Hungarian was to normalise the 1 bit uint 'bool'

stupid idea #9999999: emoji-based encryption

[deep copper]

well to be fair i have been fairly non sus to tank,
and i clearly told about my past,
meanwhile you didn't

[noble plaza]

Better: emoji instead of passwords. They're what, 8-10 bits of info each? Could do with like 4 maybe

[deep copper]

8 grapes

[noble plaza]

Michael Jackson is dead, sorry

[deep copper]

oof ! i lose yet again !!

[noble plaza]

Oh sorry, not safe for kids 💀

Vocaloids sounds like a slur lol

Like monogoloid or femoid

[gusty star]

yeh

its the -oid ending

imo

hmm do you think you could translate egyptian pictographs into emoji?

noice

[noble plaza]

Random fact, Gypsies were named as a vague slur version of Egyptian. Except they came from India 🤔

[gusty star]

put emoji on my epitaph

[deep copper]

𓂙

wait this is a real character

wow

[proud jay]

thats just a dude climbing a mountain

[noble plaza]

ASCII even has the Elvish alphabet(s) from LOTR lol

[deep copper]

aw that's adorable

[gusty star]

𓆏 <= is this one a frog?

[noble plaza]

Sorry, UTF?

[deep copper]

they probably saw it daily or had someone else read it or whatever peasants did before

but that's such a cute character

i can imagine them looking at it daily

[noble plaza]

Reading was exclusive to religious and rich people usually, a status symbol

[deep copper]

you can draw cute birds and frogs in your notebooks during classes

[noble plaza]

Not sure if Egypt was different, considering how graphic it was

Depends, is the chest bent at a 12 degree angle, or a 15? Important distinction

[deep copper]

"whatever it is, it's so awesome" throws up

the middle and last only has a tail distinction

imagine the one writing this, engraving or whatever, you need to be accurate enough to communicate which bird this is

[noble plaza]

Imagine having to differentiate between a red and a blue bird though

[deep copper]

if they have your screen, they would be able to tell easily

whatever burns the eye is the red

[noble plaza]

I actually figured out the colours get worse on battery, so I'm not having a meltdown over the colours anymore

With power it goes to 165Hz, overdrive, and nicer colours somehow

[deep copper]

? wdym

ah

no idea what that even is

[gusty star]

weird, apparerntly dyslexia doesn't affect pictogram reading, its entirely related to letterforms and shiet

[deep copper]

is that like, the sky shapes

[noble plaza]

What? How

[gusty star]

idk

the brain be wierd

[cursive crypt]

which font have these?

[noble plaza]

No way can someone dyslexic tell apart fucking deer and deer but with one line different

But not EG B and D or whatever

[deep copper]

how is it for kanji and hanzi or whatever

[gusty star]

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0042698901003182

if im reading this right the two groups dont differ much in actual naming of pictograms

[deep copper]

🫂 🍇 🏩 💗

[gusty star]

tho there is differences in eye movements, but presumabley different brain networks are engaged for the two types of reading

[deep copper]

that's so weird

but cool they can read

meaning they can read braille and morse easily too?

[noble plaza]

That's a pretty tiny study TBF, but that's interesting. They're way slower, but the accuracy is similar. They also read them differently, somehow

[gusty star]

ye it warrants further study for sure

[noble plaza]

BTW it mentions The CJK alphabets are similar, ya weebs

American dyslexic children could easily learn to read English represented by Chinese characters
lol

[deep copper]

that would mean a completely different thing to ben

[gusty star]

lawl

[deep copper]

how did you read that so soon, is there a summary part i missed

[noble plaza]

TL:DR; pictographs (and CJK languages) are read more visually than the usual alphabets, which require more analytic reading

[noble plaza]

Because I know the parts that contain the juicy bits haha

First bit of intro to figure out if it's worth reading, conclusion to see if there's spicy takes, and discussion to see if/how they back it up

[deep copper]

i lost all motivation just looking at how long it is..

[noble plaza]

The method is for fucking nerds

[noble plaza]

90% of people won't read more than the intro and conclusion, unless searching for something very particular

[gusty star]

i usually jump around a scientific paper as i have questions, if that makes sense. don't let the design of the document bog you down. let curiosity guide you!

but the intro usually sums up the paper, at least

[noble plaza]

Reading scientific papers is its own skill, but gotta be honest I'm not used to the non-PDF ones. Some gen Z stuff here

[deep copper]

okay so basically some advanced skimming skills xD

[gusty star]

ye

[cursive crypt]

Don't think so. It is like how ppl see different animals in the shape of a cloud. Same here, ppl see mountains, houses, fire, etc - I see random lines.

[deep copper]

i actually read that if a document is properly written by someone with editorial skills they make it so that you read first sentence to figure out if you need to read the whole, or skip

read the whole para*

grape spirit

[noble plaza]

They were testing on crude pictographs, not these advanced, barely different ones

[gusty star]

I guess it could be. Depends how tight/economic/to the point you are as a writer. but I mean peoples understanding of concepts varies too

like we didn't all read the same textbook ya know?

[deep copper]

you should be slowly turning more wine-y

[noble plaza]

For all we know the various bird ones could be an indicator of various eras preferring different forms of the one character. IDK Egyptian history

[deep copper]

probably why they write the whole para, but if you are getting bored, skip it based on first lines
but yeah, not enough time to make it all that way so i guess first line and last line works as well

[gusty star]

it comes down to how the para is constructed too

topic sentence and a few supporting sentences, depending upon how they are constructed can sort of logically lead from one point to another (i mean this is usually how things are)

tho if you were writing in non-sequiters this wouldn't be the case

[noble plaza]

Yup usually paragraphs summarise themselves in the first line, and then drill down to more details/ additional points

So you can read first line, then move on repeatedly

[gusty star]

ye

its more art then science tho

[noble plaza]

The art of setting up Grammarly right and following its recommendations 🧠

[deep copper]

probably why I don't skip stuff,
but if i am reading for info, not art, i would skip

[gusty star]

tho some people are insane essay writers

george orwell, david foster wallace, etc etc

[noble plaza]

My thesis was 100% the hardest thing I have ever done

[gusty star]

theres many more ofc

[noble plaza]

For a whole week after I just felt braindead. Played Diablo 3 for a week straight haha

[deep copper]

i didn't know essay writers were famous

[gusty star]

I'd say its harder these days with the advent of digital to be a writer

cuz it kinda killed print media

book sales are still there ish

but less people read each year yada yada

[deep copper]

people listen to ebooks now

[gusty star]

it isn't the same tho honestly

[deep copper]

most probably not

[noble plaza]

I don't understand ebooks, what am I even meant to do that doesn't take much concentration

[deep copper]

you can't give time for appreciation

[noble plaza]

I'd rather read books and listen to music

[deep copper]

ebooks are kinda harder to digest ngl

stuff is not at a proper physical location

[gusty star]

its a rather small study but https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00038/full

Results showed that on most tests subjects performed identically whatever the reading medium. However, on measures related to chronology and temporality, those who had read in the print pocket book, performed better than those who had read on a Kindle. It is concluded that, basically comprehension was similar with both media, but, because kinesthetic feedback is less informative with a Kindle, readers were not as efficient to locate events in the space of the text and hence in the temporality of the story. We suggest that, to get a correct spatial representation of the text and consequently a coherent temporal organization of the story, readers would be reliant on the sensorimotor cues which are afforded by the manipulation of the book.

[fathom wadi]

I went to a bookstore once and said "Do you have any audiobooks with subtitles?"
The lady said "Sir, that's a book".

[noble plaza]

But I can actually concentrate on an ebook, unlike an audiobook

Ted on a paper binge, love to see it

[gusty star]

its maybe not a huge difference

[noble plaza]

"Is this where y'all print out podcasts?"

[gusty star]

i feel like the strength of e-books and digital media could lie in hyperlinking

like wikipedia right?

if wikipedia was on steroids, like had academics working on it

idk

its easier to see how things connect

[noble plaza]

I love my ebook reader TBH, couldn't live without it

The quick word definition is handy... Can't say I've ever used it haha

It's super nice for travel

[gusty star]

so fair, my mom whos big into reading as well also loves ebooks/kindle

just cuz of the portability/library in one device

I can understand the benefits of that for sure

[noble plaza]

• eco friendly, no dead books. Moving is much easier.

[gusty star]

yeah

[noble plaza]

Some of the quaint aspects get lost, like having a physical book to open up and sniff or whatever, but 🤷‍♂️

[gusty star]

lmao ye

thats literally what i was just thinking of

that new book smell doe

[deep copper]

i was right!!!! YAYY

[noble plaza]

My friend's dad worked at a printing press, he'd grab an unofficial print of a book sometimes. I remember one was kinda warm from the printing (or facility?) still lol

[gusty star]

I feel that

[deep copper]

this, i can search a lot of words, though, if it's easy to search you also remember it less

i recall searching for words when studying german in a physical dictionary, stuff stuck much easily and for longer

[noble plaza]

Oh and ebooks can gamify reading, encouraging you to do more of it by keeping reading stats

[gusty star]

hmm so there are tradeoffs i guess like anything

cuz i've used duolingo to learn german and its definitetly fun but I tend to forget things and need to refresh rather frequently

[noble plaza]

Mine links to my local library, I can 'borrow' the ebooks there. It's ridiculous conceptually, but whatever

[deep copper]

the "remember meaning" part is actually because of the effort you put for finding it and maintaining curiosity for longer etc

[gusty star]

interesting!!!!

[deep copper]

yeah, and next time you see it, your first thought would be "what does it mean, THINK or you will have to SEARCH AGAIN UGHHH" so you force yourself to recall

[gusty star]

so fair

I was on the old tree on duolingo for german

and had good progress

and they switched me to the new tree

😢

im so lost now

[deep copper]

i have never used doulingo but for studying jap words, i can easily look up meanings now and i noticed i subconsciously look up the meaning , close the dictionary thingy, and then reread the sentence and forget what i even looked up

[gusty star]

duolingo does help you learn the language tho

I use to speed run german practice rounds, and I swear my brain doesn't have to process as much of the sentence, word by word, as it had before

[deep copper]

as long as it works!

[gusty star]

its closer to my o.g. lang where you just glance at it and process lol

[deep copper]

true, rapid fire timer rounds really help

[gusty star]

but its really the tricky german sentence rules that trip me up (conjugation, among other things and subordinating conjunctions!!!!)

ie grammar i guess

[deep copper]

i kinda had to brute force myself to recalling some stuff under 10 seconds or i fail, and have to redo it later after a few cards. and i failed a lot but it kinda worked?

[gusty star]

yeah eh

[deep copper]

grammer is truly the enemy everywhere, mostly

especially European languages with complex , word transformationss

[gusty star]

i think even when you fail, you're learning ya know? its still beneficial in a sense

[deep copper]

you practically do it untill you succeed, so

do it for few hours and you definitely succeed!!

albeit, with very low morale by the end 😅

[gusty star]

haha so fair

[deep copper]

but next days, you recall it quick so your motivation is back

but again, the best thing i found was just doing what you wanted, you want to read ? just jump to reading books etc with translation tools, you can learn stuff much easier with proper input, but again, negligible morale at start

[gusty star]

makes sense

[deep copper]

though i say that i stopped learning german years ago and forgot everything now 😶

where are you at with it?

[gusty star]

maybe B1, probably more like A2

[deep copper]

no idea what the means but it seems high enough!

[gusty star]

I'm halfway thru Unit 3 of 6 for duolingo

[gusty star]

its the CEFR framework (european measurement of language profienceny)

[deep copper]

they have that ?!

cool

[gusty star]

goes from A1 to C2, two grades per proficiency level, three levels total.

[noble plaza]

Oh yeah, immigration into certain countries is contingent on getting to, EG, B1 at the native language

[gusty star]

ye

[deep copper]

that sounds good

[gusty star]

C2 is like philosopher level use of language tho xD

So for most purposes B1 is fine, and they have fairly clear guidelines on what you should be able to communicate about in regard to each grade

but yeah IDK it was for fun

[deep copper]

fun matters much more!
unless your plan was immigration

[gusty star]

and I also thought I had german heritage (there was a "missing link" in my family, so to speak lol) but I took a 23andMe test and I'm actually a quarter norwegian looool, with a wee bit of french/german

[noble plaza]

veldig bra 👌

Norway is sick, would recommend

I want to move there, but I know I'd get depressed and never make friends or something

[gusty star]

I feel that lol, the nordic countries are weirdly asocial

like people aren't anti-social

but they don't wanna talk in public

xD

esp given that they are rather egalitarian

[noble plaza]

Swedes and Danes at least can pretend 😄

[gusty star]

tru loooool

I'm pretty happy with Canada, for the most part.

tho I don't think owning property is a reality -_-

unless I make a game and go gangbusters lol

[noble plaza]

TBH I was a tourist and was probably treated better off for it, but I struck up a few conversations randomly. Had some random dude try to convince me to come smoke with him too, in Norway

[gusty star]

oh hype thats super chill

I def wanna visit the nordic countries but i've hung around their subreddits to get a feel for the vibe/culture

[noble plaza]

I h8 Australia big time, it's just not my cup of tea I guess

Hot, humid, and only getting worse. Politics is its whole thing, people are just accepting whatever creepy authoritarian shit the government does, then protest US issues loudly.

[gusty star]

Thats super fair.

Ye. Coal loving PM lol.

[noble plaza]

But I finished high school and uni here, and it was super hectic on me due to personal circumstances, so it's kinda ruined it for me as well, I guess

[gusty star]

And I heard the internet infrastructure is terrible in some places in Aus

[noble plaza]

100/40 is the best I can get, pay AU$100/m for it. It's OK, but I live 1 km from the 3rd biggest city...

[gusty star]

yeah so fair

idk where my one friend lives

but his internet goes down when it storms

for like a week at a time

lmao

[noble plaza]

Oh that kinda happens here too. Not for too long, but eh

The ping picks up when it rains as well, and sometimes packet loss

[gusty star]

Canada has pretty good internet infastructure but most of the populace lives 200 km from the US border lol

and we also get gouged by the telecoms

theres 3 big telecom companies nationally

and two of them are trying to merge this year 🙃

[noble plaza]

Hey I remembered the guy who got me into Linux/programming when I was smol, he was Canadian and worked for Bell I think

[gusty star]

noice

[noble plaza]

I was meaning to find him on LinkedIn, be like hey thanks for pro career tips

[gusty star]

Bell is somewhat less shady then Rogers and Telus but ye

[noble plaza]

He did recommend PHP though SMH

[gusty star]

lmao

my province is the only province that has a goverment run telecom company tho

[noble plaza]

The hard thing about dodginess is, it's usually for an unfair advantage, which doesn't get punished proportionally. If you don't respond in kind you start getting left behind 😐

[gusty star]

ye str8 up

[deep copper]

i wonder what level i am at with English,

[noble plaza]

If you could understand that paper excerpt, C1/+. Are you a native English speaker?

i bet you tho the books i wanna read in german are as hard as some books are in english, even for native speakers

like A Clockwork Orange? not ez at all

and I wanna read like Kafka in german

[fleet tangle]

As a native English speaker, I scored 100%, despite them having some dodgy accents.

[proud jay]

we had to take language certification before being allowed to go on internships/study abroad

got a C1 easy 😎

C2 level is kinda wild sometimes though

that's like academic shit

[noble plaza]

I believe in you! I read the Harry Potter series over 3 languages lol, the Russian was slightly confusing because the H-letters were swapped out so I kept thinking new people were introduced along the way 😐

[deep copper]

not native xD but I could understand so cool!

[noble plaza]

G isn't the only one they swap to either, sometimes it's x.
I was fluent-ish in the language yet didn't know they didn't have the h sound 😅

Average Unity project code quality

[gusty star]

oh, oh god

[noble plaza]

The new CoD has a samoyed 'skin' for the operator, WTF

why can people play as a furry version of my dog 😦

[deep copper]

this needed a signup after the test to see results but it's okay, i got 98% !

`Your result indicates that your level of English is somewhere between C1 Advanced and C2 Proficient according to the Common European Framework of Reference, also known as the CEFR.

Your command of English allows you to read both factual and literary texts, sometimes recognizing differences in style and tone. You can understand some complex technical writing on unfamiliar subjects.`

[noble plaza]

Nice! I think you can London quite well now 💪

[deep copper]

apparently my listening was 96% but written reading was 100%

[cursive crypt]

#lounge message

[noble plaza]

Discord practice 😄

[deep copper]

you won't?

actually, does your dog react to samoyeds on your screen?

[noble plaza]

I'd like to pretend I didn't see it, but I have a message like 4 after haha

I only saw the thumbnail and didn't realise it's a fucking samoyed skin. This is so creepy, WTH.

[deep copper]

oh, so that's why they pronounce it with kh or xh or gh sounds

[noble plaza]

Dogs not so much, cats a lot

My GF is playing Witcher 3 and when you kill the wolves they make a squealing sound, pup got very worried about it the first few times and was walking around the house trying to source it 😐

[deep copper]

atleast you will know that if you can read it you have reached some level of mastery

[deep copper]

you have cats as well?

[noble plaza]

Nah, only the doggo, but someone's cat dropped into our front yard and Maple was chasing her around the yard in hunting mode. Not sure if she'd catch one though, hope not

She did catch a few possums, was flinging one by the tail. And lots of lizards

I'm just imagining how cursed doggo photogrammetry would be

[deep copper]

it's practically its hunting ground 🤔

give it a hug

[noble plaza]

She gets all the love don't worry! Her highest spec'd skill is attention whoring haha

We're more so worried about her making a habit of grabbing every moving thing, and one day running into a snake I guess

[deep copper]

better than drop bears!

[noble plaza]

Too inner city to worry about drop bears

[deep copper]

then, give me a hug

[noble plaza]

You'll get one for when you get to C2, rules are the rules sorz

[deep copper]

wha -

[proud jay]

why is the category on twitch named like this

[deep copper]

time to retake

[proud jay]

games are not software boys

[deep copper]

well they aren't hardwares so

[supple apex]

Bloatware?

[noble plaza]

I think it isn't the same phrase, is the distinction. People say "software dev" or "game dev", not "game software dev"

[supple apex]

Pretty sure video game's a software, why wouldn't it be?

[cursive crypt]

Is there something interesting in it?

[proud jay]

idk was just watching a clip

[deep copper]

i guess too many people went for gaming section for game dev

[cursive crypt]

I have some doubts dinosaur experts are using twitch 🤔

But.. who knows /shrug

[gusty star]

there is literally 1 dude I can think of who 1) streams on twitch 2) is a legit game dev

Adam C Younis. I found him looking for pixel art tutorials lol

[noble plaza]

There's a few dudes in this Discord that stream their dev sessions too 🙂

I'd imagine people here trend towards newbies, so maybe not "legit game dev" depending on how you define that

[gusty star]

So fair

I mean this Adam dude does use Unity so xD

but idk he seems to know what hes doing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkkuRP4kajs

[proud jay]

rip I only got 96% 😭

am stupid

[noble plaza]

How is everyone I run into Australian SMH

[gusty star]

xD

[noble plaza]

Terminally bro, sorry

[cursive crypt]

Most video/stream (tutz) target basic level

[proud jay]

probably happens a lot when walking around in Australia

[noble plaza]

That's a good one TBF

I grant you claiming rights for an extra percent. Still behind AU though, so maybe he can impart his wisdom 🧠

[proud jay]

teach me senpai @deep copper

[supple apex]

Is australia still under prison style strict lockdown?

I assume not

[proud jay]

Is australia still prison for UK criminals?

[noble plaza]

Haven't been for 6-12 months, we kinda gave up on containing it TBH

[supple apex]

Isn't that like, renaissance times or something

[proud jay]

good times

[noble plaza]

Seems like just after, the practice started mid 18th century

[deep copper]

@noble plaza @noble plaza

[noble plaza]

not u TY

[proud jay]

cheater, only first try counts

you are no longer senpai

respect lost

[noble plaza]

I'm recording this interaction in my harassment log 📓

[cursive crypt]

I know only UE being worthy, have any recommends to check out for uuh not so basic level?

[noble plaza]

Same for IQ tests and all, which makes the "IQ training" websites funny lol

[deep copper]

so i am still between c1 adv and c2 even at 100%, i gotta take the 50 min long test for that i guess

[noble plaza]

I keep getting junk mail about IQ tests and how I can improve at them

[cursive crypt]

ue/c++ I dunno, not c#

[proud jay]

internet knows you dumb

[noble plaza]

I shall cherish this gift, and use it when least expected

[deep copper]

which is too long, i am sure i can get sk0g hug easily without that

[noble plaza]

nah mail, actual dead trees died forthis shit

You're prolific enough to be like 50% of #cpp at times, don't blame them TBH

[deep copper]

i lost the senpai status even before i realised i had it 😭
either way yeah the questions stay the same

i even memorised the answers now, only 3 tries

[inland oriole]

Laura, please fix my complicated networked vehicle project with player build helicopters, trains, ships etc. All has to be physics based and feeling smooth 👀

[noble plaza]

Oh and the code is confidential, so you have to work off my descriptions

[inland oriole]

Yes.

[deep copper]

how is the work environment? are there hugs?

[noble plaza]

Laura pls fix, or I will file a report in the server feedback about people not helping.

[inland oriole]

I can offer one entire apple that can be send through mail.

[noble plaza]

#server-feedback does sound like a duel arena

[deep copper]

i wonder what happened to that one guy in #969360633386655744 time to check xD

[inland oriole]

I can’t guarantee there’s not been taken a bite out of it though.

Why is the feedback channel locked?

[deep copper]

that increases the value depending on whose bite 👀

[noble plaza]

Server is perfect, pack it up

Nah it's a forum thingy, not a normal channel

[inland oriole]

Ohhh

[noble plaza]

I feel old referring to the older feedback channel

Almost one year, can't believe I haven't released a AAA game yet

[deep copper]

okay exi closed that guy off by saying it's a place for feedback not rant, if you wanna pay for help use the job channels etc

i can't find the other thread tho

[proud jay]

I don't even work on games anymore lol

why am I here

[inland oriole]

Whaaat.

"you are my money <3"

they had no choice, he is holding the chicken hostage

[inland oriole]

Always blame Luos.

Don't ask me why though.

[noble plaza]

Luos dropped a random PNG in the root of my game SMH

[deep copper]

Luos didn't hug me today SMH

[inland oriole]

Why can Luos do that is the better question.

[deep copper]

well mod powers dub

duh*

[proud jay]

he's also pretty good at holding chickens

[noble plaza]

IDK, I ask myself that sometimes

[deep copper]

i am equal to a grape you want to squash with 🫂 ?

jk jk

yes , edit ik

[inland oriole]

No such thing as editing.

Alsoletsremovespacesandtherestofcommonlogicinmessagessoeverythingbecomesapaintoread

[deep copper]

did you buy his vfx pack?

[noble plaza]

Yeah thought might as well, looked goods

[deep copper]

ButWeGotCamelCase

[inland oriole]

VFX is difficult 😔

[proud jay]

🐫 💼

[deep copper]

everything is 😔

[proud jay]

that's PascalCase though

[proud jay]

hugs aren't

[deep copper]

then, PascalCase*

[inland oriole]

I tried doing VFX for a bit, but it's so difficult lol. Although I don't really have too much of an art background too.

[deep copper]

then do it

ohh you did it

[deep copper]

did you have fun?

[inland oriole]

This is probably the best art related thing I’ve made xD

[deep copper]

also , luos had speedcreate vids of those

he used mesh particle systems way more than i thought people did

[inland oriole]

Unsure, I just couldn't get into it whatsoever. Had no idea what to do and how to start with anything honestly.

I could get some particles to fly around and that was it lol.

[deep copper]

same

they are really complicated the more you get into it

then there's optimizing it for 100x of it on screen and making the timing and other interactions work

tbh , it's like a completely new thing

[inland oriole]

I didn't really even care about optimising it yet at that point, I just couldn't get past the point of the very very basics. Had such a hard time to get a grip on anything.

[deep copper]

i will never forget whatever you say !

well, try to* never forget..

[deep copper]

so what do you do now?

for vfx

skip it?
modify the sample content?
buy?

[inland oriole]

Nothing really. Stuck with just messing around with programming.

[proud jay]

kinda sick though

[deep copper]

yeah the concept is also pretty interesting

[proud jay]

I'm kinda bad at VFX myself

https://youtu.be/RxP158GLqGc

ok-ish at best

[deep copper]

ah i see, well as long as you are ready to tackle it again !

[deep copper]

hidden thumbnail so idk what to expect

such trickery !

[inland oriole]

Just click the link, it's a YT video 😛

[deep copper]

alright, we haven't known each other for long but, i will trust you, thom!

[inland oriole]

😄

This is like how far I got with VFX: https://youtu.be/ISLsNR1io9s

Everything after was a downwards spiral into madness x)

[proud jay]

https://tenor.com/view/wiz-colleenfa-colleen-sponge-bob-plankton-steamy-gif-15075095

[deep copper]

those are some really sweet particles !! and the colors really sell it imo

[deep copper]

that's pretty good! it's a leaky pipe smoke!!

[proud jay]

sponsored by me

buy my merch

my merch is air without container, 150 euro per piece

send money first

[deep copper]

it needs enough clickbait, for all i know it has no thumbnail ...
add your surprised face, that particle with unrelated other images, a text like "this purple thing surprised even dragonHell" etc

and lastly, hug me for goodluck

[proud jay]

it has a thumbnail though

https://youtu.be/RxP158GLqGc

see

[deep copper]

that's actually pretty cool

[untold obsidian]

heeeey guys

[deep copper]

it's an emoji!!
