Does anyone know a good game UI/Designer?
software or person?
probably wrong channel to ask. but you know. maybe someone knows causaly
what kind of designer then?
game designer lol
right. i guess it is some hotshot ๐
of dark souls series + elden ring
yeah alright. did you play Elden ring?
Someone posted something from the Elden Lord above.
I did
I played right up to the last boss, got frustrated and haven't played since
I did the same with sekiro lol
where is this?
lol nice
maybe it's there as a backup ๐ฎ
havent tried it. to slow internet to download. but watched some gameplay. looks nice
Elden Ring is a game I think every gaming fan should play. Even if you don't like the style of game. It's got something about it when you first run through that brings back that childhood feeling of discovery in a game. Something missing in a lot of games now.
yeah. i rember exploring the world in wow first release. that was pretty amazing
It looks similar to DS games, really not a fan of these.
I haven't played it but it feels kinda nostalgic because most good old games from the PS2 era were like that
My theory
me neither but this is a refined version. a lot of the stuff that makes DS annoying is removed
Are you supposed to die at the first boss?
I dunno, I heard is hard. Embrace death and etc. Dark tones. Looks familiar to DS
yeah the first time you hit the first boss I'd say you should be dying.
its 100x easier than DS in most of the gameplay. Just some bosses require trial and error but even then they added these kind of "ghosts" that can help you
Btw. have you ever tried any good AR games for mobile?
you can over-build too. So some builds make bosses as trivial as trashloot
Seams like AR has potential. but i never seen any good game, aside from pockemo go that i havent even tried
isnt tiktok an ar?
tiktok is a stripclub filled with 15 year olds
Tiktok is something I refuse to make an account for and will never do
same. every tiktok video just annoys me
jupp.
its always "Im better than you and heres why"
old farts, so oldschool
hey myspace had it down bro
lol
- some annoying song lipsync stuff and senseless skits
myspace = genesis of social media
I like LinkedIn more than any other social media. There are some tools on there, but 95% of the stuff is legit interesting in some way
haha nice. that brings back memories in high fidelity!
Loch modan was my favorit place
i liked the Black Temple
hmm cant rememver any black temple. was it after the 60 lvl cap?
even though that was my favourite era of WoW, I cant bring myself to play the TBC classic. Seems pointless.
yeah it was the first expansion
aah okay. i had stopped playing by then
i played through vanilla to the end of wrath of the lich king before I got bored
yeah re-grinding things you grinded 20 years ago and complained about then seems wrong.
some of the grinds in the early days were boring anyway
I did enjoy the raiding though. Getting server firsts on Kael'Thas and Illidan was good times.
What was after motlen core? the second big dungeon?
it dropped som "dragonskin" stuff for my hunter but cant remeber the name
blackrock mountain right?
yeah. but the dungeon had a diffirent name
blackwing lair was the raid there but it had a few dungeons
still do
the HD remaster or what? i was thinking about trying it out
yeah
damn. maybe i should do that
I played original D2 LOD for about 2 years back in the day. Daily. 12-16 hours a day.
I like diablo 3. Its got some nice gameplay/loot. But it's nothing on Path of Exile
I played some POE. only enjoyed hardcore, untill i died for the 3rd time..
I played hardcore for the first 2 years of PoE. But when I died to a loading screen I stopped. Seemed pointless when bugs could kill you
but damn, D2 was a bliss. was so young that i coulnt even read english. but so many vivid memories still
yeah I play it every couple of years or so. I hammered it in the first 2 years. But now if I see a season mod that looks good I will play it for a few days. But it only takes a few days to get fully geared and be able to run lvl100+ greater rfits. Then I get bored.
I got super bored of Path of Exile this league. I made 50ex in a few days and fully geared, killed what I wanted and saw no reason to play on. Still have like 35ex in my stash thats going to get eaten by my billion standard tabs
I think POE was fun untill you explored most of the gameplay and found some OP builds. then i got bored
well there are always new builds to play. If you just stick to one build it can get a little tedious. But then now we have uber-uber bosses to kill, so there is always something to head towards. Most builds cant kill them. So you get to switch it up and try new things.
I've still not killed Maven in PoE yet. I absolutely hate the look of the fight and don't even want to spend the exalt to die 6 times trying it :/
another game that came to mind. Red Alert? remeber that?
of course
it was great playing with friends. Bit crappy solo tho ๐
Yeah LAN ftw
I played red alert once on PS1 with serial cables. That was kind of fun
I have a PS1 in the basement. but didnt know red aleart was available for that
yeah
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN2Cbf0TOVY was my favorit ps1 game
http://www.teamvvv.com/ presents some chat and random gameplay for Destruction Derby on the PS1, a classic for its time, still a great game today.

I have a couple of ps1's, 2 ps2s, 2 ps3s, 2 ps4s, one of each xbox upto series X. But no PS5 because fuiuuuuck
I know one of the coders from Destruction Derby. He actually used to help run Epic in the UK
thats cool! give him my regards for one of the best games!
his company does technical work on Sea of Thieves these days. like super in-depth QA stuff fixing bugs nobody knows are even there yet ๐
well, time for me to go get a pepsi and go back to being abused in league of legends until the UFC comes on ๐ have fun
GLHF, cya around
Destroyer derby
someone make me a game for free
ffs unreal and it's component location stuff... -.-
how are they not able to fix it ๐ญ
Inb4 unreal6 just has copilot to code the game for you
I turn 28 next month, I'm going to be so old ๐ญ
Almost half way to 60 ๐
4real tho
You're a very old grandpa yup, if counted as dog age though.
28, jeez UE users are ancient these days
Prople usually have brutal life crisis around 28-32
Happen to everyone I know, different in context everytime, yet always hits hard, not sure why.
so fair. I feel fine but I mean calm before the storm I suppose lolol
honestly tho I already kinda gave up on being an artist and switched to game dev
so maybe I've mitigated some of the damage
most of it was just formalities tho, like closing my old biz and opening a new one lol
I suggest create a backup of whatever you cherish in life and stock on it however much possible if you're entering that age, stock as much as possible on mental health support, whatever method you can.
I'll join you in the existential crisis in about 8 years then
But then again, there's always the crisis at age 42 anyway afterwards ๐ฅณ
Makes sense, I feel you.
I'll drink to that ๐บ
You still have your art portfolio around?
My artstation is in my discord profile, but otherwise its sort of changed a few times haha.
tho honestly most of that artstation stuff is from this year when I got a โญ new โญ screen tablet/basically a screen to draw directly on lol
rip to my 2012 wacom intuos medium (2012-2022)
Traditional art and caricature I see, good work.
ye ye
I did a bunch of political art in school
photoshopped putins face onto the mona lisa as a joke, etc etc
Cintiq? Or just a normal tablet like an ipad or something?
ye basically a cintiq. different brand tho. XP Pen or whatever.
I was set on a cintiq ngl
but XP Pen had some new model with extremely fine sensitivity, like insane Initial Activation Force, so there wasn't much difference tech wise.
tho XP Pen has some QC issues lol
Cintiqs last forever but you pay more upfront for sure
XP Pen, lemme check, that's the brand name? Or just the version?
brand name, the model i have is uh
one sec
XP-Pen Artist Pro 16 has a 15.4-inch, 1080P resolution and 99% Adobe RGB incredibly color-accurate fully laminated display which is perfect for you to do more sketching, digital painting and photo retouching. you can put precision performance at your fingers with our most advanced stylus which equipped with X3 smart chip.
artist pro 16
thats their marketing page for it but eh it has the specs too
fairly wide colour gamut too
What problem did you had with it?
I haven't had issues yet but i browse their subreddit and theres constantly people with issues with their tablets, mostly related to the USB connector cable and the screen
A japanese company owned by china it seems.
Passed that age already?
Good if you didn't went through messed up stuffs, welcome to the 10% club ๐ฅณ
I have no complaints with the product so far tho honestly, its exceeded my expectations haha
but I dont have confidence that itll last 5 or even 10 years
So, no health, family, money, jobs, housing, or mental problem or breakdown at all?
Zilch I assume?
tho consequently I can draw extremely fast, so I guess my struggle wasn't in vain
I think zennodez is asking if you had any problems at all in some specific areas, then he said he assumes that you experienced nothing bad (zilch = nothing)
oh so TED Draws isnt like TED Talks but where someone draws
Zilch isn't a common word I guess.
Nada
lmao nah ted is a construction from my first and last name
tho it is a missed opportunity xD
Its more a twitch thing, or it started as that
I just sort of became known on disc as TedDraws so i stuck with it
Nowt
Anybody else above 32 who's in the 10% and never went to any sort of life crisis around age 28-32 club?
Ive been in crisis since I was 28 does that count?
I'll answer you in 6 years but I can tell you right now that I will more than likely go through that crisis lol
I think Im on my 4th mid-life crisis
Starting a life crisis around 28? Mine started much earlier and hasn't ended yet!
2, 2 sports cars and 2 4wd utes
noice
no ex-wives so maybe Im succeeding
alimony
ali a mony
al ma knee
ow my knee
all my money
thinking about getting old is very depressing ๐
its not that bad tbh
How old are you mons, 42?
calls on Ensure
almost 41
xD
and Im still finding bugs in game, alas one day all the bugs will be gone
and then I can rest
Oh boy, that's around the age of the next common crisis isn't it...
I wouldnt know, Ive been in crisis since 28, its just been one long never ending cycle
says someone who is having a crisis on every birthday
Yep, that counts you in the 90% club just like the rest of us.
I hope atleast by 60 I'll break a hip so I have something else to focus on
You're having a crisis already bm?
No alimony fee I guess.
tbh the younger b-days were harder, up till bout like 25, 30 was tricky but 40 was a breeze. I just packed up a 4wd and went out bush for awhile
I'm gonna be 23 soon
I joined this server when I was 16 ๐
Share mons?
Only if you feel like it.
I was in a Starcraft Map Making guild when i was kid ๐ฌ
so young ๐ฎ but atleast legal lol, I knew under 13s on the forums back in the day but people let it slide
I feel old ๐
I bet everyone older here than me wants to slap me with something when I say that lol
I bet you can still pull alnighters without a fuss
Oh that's my regular thing
Nah thats fair honestly, some people just have that old soul vibe
I gotta have my slippers on by 9pm
Oh shit what?? How old is Unreal Slackers??
I think slackers moved to discord in 2016 or 2015, not 100% sure, it was on slack before
I think this discord is like 7yrs
I remember because Epic was working on UT at the time
you might still be here when youre my age @broken sigil ๐
I do honestly feel like 20 years older in my mind, I feel like I think differently than most people my age
I 100% will if slackers will still be around ๐
yeah I think maturity is independent of age, tho they are often close together for most people
I was in my early 20s when I joined the UE community so its totally possible, bit sad to see people move on over the years though. Its like noooo but they were such a good programmer, level designer etc but thats the nature of the business
I also feel like I'm flying through some things faster than I should, I bought a brand new car when I was 19
Gonna be building a house in the next 2-3 years, feel like that's something that people do in their 30s and 40s
I'm speedrunning life ๐
Nah you're setting your self up for later success
infact I think its 20yrs of UE this Sep-Nov, never remember the exact date
Ah wait, older, not younger, my bad.
I have like 1 friend that bought a house because he started working as an electrician right out of high school
or two actually, the other ones a welder
What I mean is that I'm 22 but I feel like I'm 44 ๐
but point is, atleast anecdotally among my canadian friends, there are very few even owning property like our parents did en masse at like 20-30
werent you 25 
Yeah, wrong interpretation, my bad, not very focused at the moment ๐
And I can't imagine its any better for some of the newer gens. The housing market in Canada sux mega
so is 44 feeling like 66 or 88?
I'll let you know in 20 years ๐
I still feel 20s most of the time, cept for when the body reminds me
How old are you feeling mons?
Biological age aside.
I feel pretty spry most of the time, but I cannot drink alcohol like I used to be able to lol
I dunno shall we say 25
Nvm, you actually post what I was about to ask before I ask, weird.
always been a gamer interested in tech so I guess thats helped keep my outlook youthful
but then I have to admit I got an @hotmail lol
My early 20s dream is drinking a lot and eating tons of unhealthy food
if Turkish economy allows me to I'll do this next year
yeah RIP here in ontario
Yeah, I agree
I definitely plan on being around
Got one 2, forgot the pass though.
Man honestly hear me out
I don't drink, never got drunk in my life ๐
My goal for my 20s is to find a GF even tho that sounds like mission impossible at the moment lol
if you can manage it, try backpacking some of europe
Lemme guess, you're 26 eren?
I just become 21 officially today 
ewww girls have cooties
I had a chance to move to Europe but I decided to stay
Bday dude!
I could bring tons of kebabs
Oh Happy Birthday ๐ฅณ
doner kebabs?!?!!
thanks ๐ฅณ
lol wrong reply
best life lol
any
Oh lmao
wait did we miss Hevedys birthday
๐ฅณ ๐ฅณ ๐ฅณ ๐ฅณ ๐ฅณ
Happy Birthday ๐ฐ
I'll ban the person who posted the message that caused me to reply to the wrong message ๐
thanks ๐ ๐ฅณ
thats fair dude. I went backpacking in my early 20s and it was pure debauchery, can definitetly recommend. Tho I guess its different postpandemic :((((....
in my early 20s and it was pure debauchery
๐ ๐
I won't even delete it, I'll post it here to be archived for all eternity lol
nothing made BM angry, even trollish offtopic in #cpp
but one day he replied to wrong message
and this is how we met evil BM
xD
lol
oh no, Ive cursed another
and happy birthday !!!! woo woo!
8 days until my gallipoli tour
i heard many Australians come to there and do some rituals, is that true Mons?
Yeah they do an Anzac day service there\
nice
sup
maybe I can meet some of them
probably one of the only services in the world where both sides attend
the capy revolution lasted 24 hours
And what's your gameplan here bm?
I don't drink, never got drunk in my life
first a few times is fun i guess
especially if you have friends (
)
At the moment sitting at home all day doesn't seem to be the gameplan lol
I could hit you with some stats on alcohol in Canada but ye I probably started drinking at 14 lol?
we will be here for the drunken BM reacts
Ah yes, the key part ๐
"wheeeere is that guy caused me to wrong replly!"
free ban ๐ฅณ
Could impress some with your mj skills ~
cat girls travel in packs
@pearl elk
Any life tips for those under 40 mons?
invest in tech stocks
"And generate more cat girls"
dont gamble on options tho xD
if Id bought Tesla stock when I was younger Id be made
Its hard to predict those years, tesla would've fallen if obama didn't add the money to bail elon out.
well the economy is kinda doing terrible, rn is the time to buy if you have $$$
I coulda invested in Google, Nvidia you name it ๐
AMD, NVIDIA, Epic (if their public, i forget), etc
Meta?
theres also investor simulators (the investopedia.com one is pretty solid)
Unity is a good one?
it is aimed to grow by 30% on the next 5 or 10 years
Id invest in stuff that 1) i understand the merits of their tech, competitive edge, etc 2) I use or would recommend their products
Despite how shady zucc is, I actually see Meta potentially going up in the VR business, despote how weak their product is at the moment, call it a hunch.
yeah thats fair
what is meta anyway
Its Facebooks new name xD
Meta is maybe the holding company then?
Similar to how alphabet rebranded and owns google and all that
Like for instance IKEA is literally a holding company and then the biz you know as IKEA for tax purposes lol
The first one with a lightweight portable vr headset without heavy bacpack or cables wins
ha
i wonder how they will code integration with cameras lurking around when you walk
nah Meta has its own products
I don't think consumer sentiment is that high on VR or on Metas Metaverse idea but idk the economy is shitty rn and people are very in the moment/this is based on anecdotes i've read in the past week or so
its more just like a parent company
new technology could come after some human research on the topic
I think there are some pretty good prototypes using dual band wifi to send the audio and video, main issue is input latency
if social media can lead depression and anxiety in a vast sample of its users
i wonder what metaverse will do
It's not high on the current product, stronger sentiments will probably depends on what hardware they can provide next year.
tho, i would live in a empty house with bare essentials and all the furniture is 3d
this is like some dystopian blade runner shit tho lol
From which company?
where we were 100 years ago?
1922? the roaring twenties xD
Valve and Meta ๐
4 years post WW1
any smartphone?
no
Gonna use these for my dating profile ๐
telegraph and maybe the rotary phone
so a VR decorated house may not be too far away?
maybe, I can't predict the future. but the rate of change in terms of technological development is increasing, it would seem.
second one reminds me abit of the Natural Born Killers poster
Haven't heard new ones from Valve, what're they up to this time for VR?
Thought they're focused on steam deck at the moment.
I said prototypes ๐
we are still beating ourselves with motion sickness on vr
It kinda does lol
should use deep fake to make a movie with all cat people you generated from MJ ๐
deep fakes are pretty wild
Forgot 100 years, the last 20 years was already a leap, the world have been on a fast track since 1960.
yeah sure, but idk how long we can sustain what we are now
shortage on gpu stuff hapenned
the planet still have idk how much kilos of minerals to explore
and we can barely logistic it
Oh boy, that's like some swole buff sonic or something ๐คฃ
ye, a system of infinite growth, atleast if its solely based on resource inputs, is going to have issues with a finite resource base lol, unless you can find ways to continously do more with less*
if the world lived like one, maybe 4 billion people would be too much
Lets say I have a collection (and a problem lol) ๐
Think with VR is the friction, technology is already getting very friction heavy, simple things that are meant to be made easier by technology add to peoples stress. Its a simple thing but putting the headset on, getting all calibrated etc, its not as easy as turning your ocular implants to VR mode ๐
maybe we can dived rich and poor in Earth vs. Mars
god I hope not
No idea, but billionaires pulling a john galt to mars isn't going to end well
2 calories
Oh lord lol
at least, if we populate mars in less than 100 years, i hope it gets registered as one of the most offensive humanity acts of the century
if we live to reflect on history
I love how Duke Nukem is just sitting in the middle of cat girls and creepy cat people
Hail to the King
show that even short periods in space reduce bone density and shiet, significantly. Gravity holds you together.
Ocular implants for VR? That ain't easy to remove, imagine somebody hacking what you see in AR and showing you horror stuffs randomly without prompts.
sure
we jsut built a giant telescope to see if there is something meaningful 9000000 light years from here
we can barely go to the moon without risking stuff
I dunno, maybe a socket upgrade so you can just pop em in and out
sure some discoveries about physics may be important
Pop the eye out?๐
but there is so much to be done on the poor side of society that i question myself of science topics today
yeah why not, needed a fresh set anyways
you know how much the glasses industry is worth?
and we still suffer to identify glass on lab
hehe
Hit me with stats, how much?
enough that you can undercut the market by like 90* percent and still go gangbusters
see zenni lol
not an actual figure*
just an estimation. Tho Raybans are literally 10x what a pair of Zenni frames are
you pay for the brand these days
I know quite a few people who will never be able to use VR, its abit sad but they cant even play 3d games so
why my age has correlation with?
i bet i know more than you
Why? Motion sickness?
kkekee sry for the poke
severe motion sickness yeah
My buddies dad gets motion sickness just from seeing games like Mirrors Edge
too much motion throws him off or something idk
Meta buy a pharmacy company and start distributing nasal medicine to VR meta users
yeah its more common than you'd think
interesting
yeah, motionsickess on VR hits more than 30% of its users
Jeez
some people have eye dominance issues which cause the stereoscopy not to work correct
weird
i was watching a talk about accessibility and they mentioned the state of tech to reduce that, and it is really at the bottom
so the only solution is to pop peoples eyes out with spoons and start over ๐
tho on the other hand, my ADHD brother who can play VR, fkn loves it
0.2 seconds of difference between what you see and your movement is enough to cause it
and the brain is the most powerful hardware of all time
it even builds computers!
yeah I know people who can spend hours in there, me I always get this odd sensation when I come out even after a short period
I've never actually tried VR yet lol
my brother keeps trying to sell me on it
but I literally just built a PC last year
so eh
I'm in no rush to move on tbh
you should give his rig a shot
its definitely immersive but sometimes being able to just switch over to discord and whatnot on a second monitor is handy ๐
Ye I'm old school honestly
i care enough? i am just chatting
I used to play dwarf fortress, or have on and off since like 2013 xD
revolution through discord
second screen became pretty important with the smart phone, lots of people sit on their phone while watching TV etc
I haven't tried vive nor oculus, would try them out if they're wireless.
Same, really want to try it tho
there are VR arcades around, probably the best way to give it a go tbh since they invest alot on their rigs
ppl get together in parties and use the phone in front of each other
i remember learning in my early 20s that mentioning or chatting about age is boring
you watch everyone will jump into VR chat to ignore each other while chatting on their virtual phones ๐
did poked a bit on the internet, since it still appears from time to time
but mostly pointless
maybe a pg-13
Sounds correct ๐
woah
hahahaha
VR chat is the game which you play with GTA 3 characters and Anime characters at the same time, no?
certainly it would have a disconnection between users...
now Im hunting to see which of you has a mobile icon next to their name ๐
Oh noes
Is the wireless tech we have right now really still not enough to handle VR input latency?๐ค
thats why they have backpacks to reduce the latency
thing is its not just normal kb/m type of controls its alot of degrees of freedom
difficult to predict, compress, etc
It's not just about data speed?๐ค
speed isnt the same as latency unfortunately
accuracy of the packets is important for audio, video and inputs
Prety sure the marketplace staffs often hassle seller with details to fix or add.
hmm those textures look horrible to me
oh is that a gap in the mesh on the wall
yes
I thought that was normal map
no, they don't align when snapped on the grid
neither do they have sockets to snap to
maybe, modular parts means that's partly modular ๐
whoa theres a lounge
The MP strikes me as full with mostly bad stuff. The rest is not applicable and some small %, interesting. It would be great if ppl had the ability to have a personal "exclusion" list of sellers.
ruh roh scooby
I wouldnt worry too much, I think I read Diablo 3 did more than that on its first day ๐
thats actually quite relieving lol
100m aint no small sum still but it would have cost them alot to make the game and even more to maintain the live service elements
blizzards probably still sitting pretty
tho WoW is down off some highs
When Legion released in i think... 2017? they had almost 50 million monthly users
Shadowlands has player counts closer to 5 mil
they need to get rid of Bobby Kotick or its going to end up as a mobile company ๐
it's surprising how many people exist
ye
Investors thinking about that mobile gaming money
its surprising how many I wish didnt exist ๐
and not all of the worlds population is even on the internet or has a PC
I think mobile is rapidly expanding due to the lower cost of entry for gamers and the ubiquity of phones
it's very convenient,
Ye
Is it a surprise by this point? On 1st sight everyone complains about lootboxes, gachas etc, but truth is - it is profitable.
there were alot of steamers who spent alot and then just quit the game so I would expect to see that revenue drop off inline with the drop off on streaming
its just on abit of a delay
good point
honestly its a fk ton of work
but i feel like the big brain is this:
singleplayer campaign with in-game progression
multiplayer with cosmetics and microtranscations
doubt, they got money already
Most profits in games are realised in span of years, not only at the beginning
how much you think it cost Blizzard to have NetEase make the game and service it
You think they failed?
50m?
That clear, but revenue will continue.
oh it will, but I doubt it'll continue at the same rate but it entirely depends on how many whales they hooked
It is clear that we are speculating about the future here, but I see it average business. It will thrive well, more lootboxes, skins, nfts, whatever the customers will make buy. And they are not stupid, they know.
true, if the business model didnt work they wouldnt be doing it
but it is very AAA publisher to latch onto something already proven by people willing to take risk
I think that sort of risk adverse attitude is why they will never blow up and "go viral" like they want to
atleast it's not a loss
Diablo Immortal did just come out in China
I wonder tho if they had to censor the game at all in the chinese version
the film industry usually has to, if they wanna sell their movies there
doesnt the game have a necromancer class, I thought skeletons were a no no in China
or is it just no blood, skeletons are fine
I honestly have no idea
didn't china add restrictions to hours spent playing and money spent etc
or was that someone else
ye I think they did, for youth anyway
so old people have no restrictions hmm
meaning most people that made that rule are unaffected ๐ค
as it should be, the end game of life sucks
Ive said it before all these early unlocks are good and all but we need some once we get to 30-60 too
early unlocks?
yeah driving, drinking alcohol etc
I feel like there should be a 40yr old man unlock which grants me access to the underground cinema or something
R18+ then its all over ๐ฆ
now that would reduce the suicide rates atleast
more to gain by leveling this profile up that way
reminds me, wasn't there a saying you become a wizard at a certain age
i think that was a 30+ unlock
but you needed to be virgin or something
xD
looks like I failed that one
yeah cant say I'm upset I screwed up that achievement
another weird wizard fact: the KKK uses "Grand Wizard" as part of its rank naming convention lmao
is he a 'uge virgin? who knowssssss
probably tho
but yeah some later in life unlocks would be sweet
It seems like its mainly in terms of owning things/property
at least under a capitalist system or w/e
it's like a free roaming mode after all early unlocks
now it's upto you to unlock stuff on your own somehow
ahh yeah like a boat or a fancy sports car
and your parents are like 1 hour 1 life chosen at random for you
roll the world spawn lottery dice
too many cosmetics
exploration is limited to one planet
pay to play 0/10
I suppose there is a pensioners card, not sure if thats every country but here at 60 you get a special card which gives you discounts at alot of places
this huge item should be kept changing with the times,
a boat or a sports car etc might become irrelevant after 40 years ๐
i was promised fully automated luxury gay space communism, devs pls fix
elon is trying to unlock the next
youve finally worked out what the Discovery part of Star Trek Discovery means
im dyin lmao xD
imagine a pop up appears "hidden special achievement unlocked" or something for that
lmao
trying to take a pic with your phone but it disappers too fast
have ya'll seen The Orville? I'm not the biggest Seth McFarlane fan, i more admire his work ethic if that makes sense cuz hes a hustler but I feel like that show is a pretty solid tribute/has some interesting characters and stories. Interesting to see him try to make a greater break from animation, cuz his initial efforts in live action film aren't that great lol
Ive been meaning to watch it, its on my list
this is the first time i heard of it
Its like a Star Trek clone but its really funny ngl
guess it's something to watch out for then
Still has a underlying moral vibe to it, but I haven't watched much og star trek so i can't compare it much. Tho apparently thats what Star Trek was really known for in a sense, pushing those sort of boundaries in a positive way.
Tho the new LOTR is starting up in Sept too
Netflix kinda seems like a sinking ship
Canada doesn't have HBOmax but theres some HBO shows on Crave
I think Orville is on Amazon Prime aye
ayyyyyy
Netflix needs to do more with the properties its got, I think focusing on just streaming shows is hurting them abit
They kill too many of their good shows after too few seasons
they need some 5-6 season mid ranges i think
well reason for that is most shows suck by the 3rd season, the writers have a a good idea for 1-2 but they get to 3 and its mostly filler
Yeah
Not everyone is Vince Gilligan haha
Or even... idk
I was thinking that maybe shows are shorter then they were on tv but i don't know if thats even true
even big shows like GoT and Stranger Things have their moments where youre sitting there like wtf has this got to do with anything
ye
subplots that need to be cut
Its hard to keep something that tight tho
Writing a screenplay is honestly hard af
yeah thats one thing Disney sucks at, cutting subplots
ye
half a Star Wars movie is just subplot pffft lol
yeah its definitely clever, can tell its written by a fan of Star Wars
good to know
I was never really big on Star Wars either ngl
Its a cool enough idea idk
Jon Favreau deserves it, he was pretty instrumental in Marvels success too
yeah I feel that
they have some cool guest directors which makes it interesting, not just on Mando but Boba Fett too
budget is abit lower on Boba Fett and Obiwan than Mando, I think they were looking to cut costs
I feel that word, ah yeah
Making film aint cheap, thats for sure
esp. digital vfx
and sfx in general
tho some people are literal wizards lol
they use alot of fake backdrops, I dont think the camera matching to the environments is that good
I think they might need to hire one tbh lol
xD
some of vfx, in a general sense, is having weird niche knowledge about how to fake things so they look more real, often using cheap materials
a really good example of this in play is The Dallas Buyers Club. I think their budget was $100 $250 dollars for makeup or some shit and they won an oscar for it lol
and all that is contigent on one make up artists trickery
Its a pretty good argument for really sussing out talent/skillsets, even scouting it, and building human capital as well as financial capital (in any endeavour).
it can be good to be working on something lesser known as people dont try to gouge you too
Yeah for sure
I imagine as soon as someone walks in and says Im from Disney the price goes up 200%
lmao yeah eh
all they hear is cash register sounds
In a lot of ways you have nothing to lose without a reputation to uphold
thats why it can be handy for big studios to have little names at their disposal bit like I think its Universal and Blumhouse
ye eh
tho you can become a big name in your own right, industrial light and magic for instance
I guess it depends how you play your hand, how the economy is, luck, etc
they dont always work on huge movies either, sometimes they work on lesser known stuff
totally
some of that stuff is def hidden gem or cult classic worthy
cuz not every movie killed it at the box office thats well regarded today
true, I mean Blade Runner tanked at the box office but both those movies are pretty solid
for sure
Ridley Scott is a boss. Hes got old man energy these days but whatever hes lived thru some shit so
Cinema is for pop corn movies, the arty stuff only does well at festivals
he needs to stop with the android fetish lol
xD
shame Raised by Wolves got canned but I dont think it was actually going anywhere, it was meant to be a philosophical mess
yeah eh
my mum was telling me about it
I wanted to watch it but F
probably still will
haha so fair
hmm
i've seen some bizarre shit ngl
jacobs ladder
thirst
oldboy
etc etc
ah okay
hmm
Ill probably still watch it
I love Ridley Scott so
Eyes Wide Shut is pretty weird but most of Kubricks stuff is sorta... an experience lol
but maybe he was just old and senile at that point idk
mf'er died right after finishing it
he was meant to work on the AI movie
I think it would have been darker less of a family friendly thing
always freaked me out the whole ice caps melting thing
ye
its already pretty adult in some ways but I agree
but there is a skill in making something low rated but still disturbing, thats what I love Arachnophobia, thats some high art stuff
Poltergeist doesnt have a particularly high rating either, thats probably my favourite
word dude
the og nightmare on elm street is still pretty insane
and the og the thing
that scene with the dogs in the kennel F
hit it with the flamethrower for sure
Yeah they dont really do suspense like they used to, its to do with the new age camera work I think, more quick cuts less lingering views
they wernt afraid to let the camera move slowly for 10 seconds if it got the point across
yeah
tarkovsky is really good too
but thats really slow lol
like Stalker and uh
wtf is his other stuff
Solaris
they are really different from the books tho, but the solaris book is something of its own ngl. didn't really like the stalker book ngl (roadside picnic). tho the solaris book made me feel some type of way idk it was incredible
but yeah honestly action films ironically became sort of lamer than their blockbuster heydays. i swear this quick action sequence shit proliferated to everything.
but maybe its also social media, and just the various ways people consume media
these ultra fast paced, short tidbits
yeah Solaris is very slow but thats how it goes, Space Odyssey would be crap if it were all fast paced
yeah true
those sort of movies in space kinda need that suspense too, I liked The Martian but I think Moon is a better film
Moon is the one about the tritium miner right?
not sure its got Sam Rockwell in it
its fairly old now so Id say you would have
I just dont wanna reveal too much of the plot to potential readers who may not've seen that masterful movie haha
its very inline with Solaris in terms of theme
also JoJo Rabbit, fk i love taika waititi. bit of a different vibe but man. sam rockwell kills it there too
and yeah you're so right
I've also been meaning to watch that tv adaptation of What We Do in the Shadows
heard nothing but good things
Alien is pretty solid in terms of how to do a sci-fi
and the script is really tight
I watched a cool one recently it was similar called Archive
Taika did one with Sam Neil I liked, was pretty funny with the kid
noice
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
its abit cheesy but its one of those feel good have a laugh movies
could i potentially share concept art in the works-in-progress channel (for an UE game in active dev)? feedback is ideal in this case
itd be sfw ofc and obeying all other content rules. i just need to prototype the visual look of the game and characters, weapons, etc
and ya'lls feedback is useful
hi lost im ted
y
u no y
Tho some UE stuff should be apparent, not sure mods are fine with just generic art - can be for whatever. When in doubt, ask them. #969360633386655744
You can always post the full art somewhere else and share it in as a harmless off topic comment in lounge
Pretty sure it would be shrugged off as a one time thing.
#lounge aint a feedback channel
except for pizza
if not with anchovy
Not trying to use it as a feedback channel, "off topic harmless comment"
eh I'll post a topic anyway
Personally, I dont care, but exception for one is for many.
we'll roll the what-do-the-mods-think dice
!flip
Roll the dice
cuz it makes sense to have it in works-in-progress, if at all, but i understand the mods concerns if they dont want people given a reason to spam the channel or whatever it may be
!coin
@deep copper, :coin: Tails
There's better sites to put your concept art though, why here? Especially if it's not ue related.
Reddit for example
No pineapple
i wish i visited the other channels sometimes so i knew what's the norm in those
Artstation or deviantart then?
Artstation is decent, I suppose. More immediate feedback from other game designers, even if their amateurs, is useful imo
and you can't always get that from artstation
i've made art in every art medium except for perfomance @_@
Tigsource/forums?
They still exist right?
Epic will buy the Orbital Market website
with source code
that way they can shut it down so more users use the epic launcher
xD
Feedback aint easy to get to begin with.
!coin head!
@supple apex, :coin: Heads
tho if you count GTA 5 Roleplay as perfomance art, then i have done perfomance art xD
!8ball is today the day where i harvest human organs?
@slim atlas, :8ball: It is certain.
manny has spoken!
!8ball will you help me harvest organs? ๐ช
@slim atlas, :8ball: Outlook not so good.
jezus.
first time i even heard of performance art xD
#artschoolproblems
Manny is a chef
but you said it's for UE so ... why not?
yeah thats sorta what I was thinking. doesn't seem to be directly against the rules, as long as its sfw.
i will steal your ideas
share them on twitter
make millions
i will send 20 indie studios your idea too
40
good artists borrow, great artists steal - lady glinnevier
100
and related to the server , because this assumes it's not related to ue? i guess once you relate it more to ue then?
Post your idea public, i dare you
my artstation is in my discord profile hehe
but its all stuff from earlier this year.. month long painting bender
your ideas are way to valuable to be shared public ted.
keep them for yourself
develop in the shadows
like bane!?!?
"great artists steal from 1000 sources" etc
its also a picasso quote hehe
Probably if it's something like an artistic rendition of manny with jojo hairstyle, the mods will be okay
!8ball are you into jojo?
@deep copper, :8ball: Cannot predict now.
its wasn't a no!
!8ball are you jojo
@deep copper, :8ball: Better not tell you now.
!8ball are you jojo
@supple apex, :8ball: Concentrate and ask again.
xD
it's trying to hide something here
ya, right?! cheeky bot
Definitely hiding something, yup.
!8ball are you hiding something
@deep copper, :8ball: My sources say no.
that's what someone who is hiding something would say
tsk tsk
Show me what's inside your hand_l manny!
!8ball show me what's inside you
@deep copper, :8ball: Signs point to yes.
oh my

in my writing groups discord one of the mods coded an RPG powered by word count haha, that you play thru a discord bot
its wild
@deep copper, :game_die: 3, 4, 3
basically you use wordcount to do stuff, and its supposed to keep you motivated to write. it does work by the honour system tho lol
but idk a few people use it so
is it like those leaderboard bots
like actions cost wordcount
sorta ish? theres also a leaderboard bot for wordcount specifically cuz theres writing teams but
ya
Yeah I really hate that
What a spammy way to type
yeah
I can be sloppy with my spelling and grammar but I try to write well if I can
and use full sentences or w/e
