Why are you guys spamming?
333
we got everything BUT 333
There you go
Oh boy, did he ever return afterwards?
manny is cheating
its a legit use of mannys subsystems
it works in dms now only
we are not spamming omg
Kinda is though.
ok
okay, so one gamble every 15 mins ?
lol
Not sure what/who gameidea is, thought it's a user, is it a bot? What's dms?
it's a command
!gameidea
gameidea was manny sending you a total rng idea for a game
Ahhh, okay
there were some questionable ideas too lol
I just git whooshed
we need Manny Journey
Why did roll exist in the first place btw?
for making game decisions etc ig
thats halfway to triple 6, from the DevilsD himself!
You all got your 111, 222, and 444.
Can't have your cake and eat it.
๐
and 123 x2 and 321
๐คฃ
Let 333 be a myth
why did you pick 333 anyway?
333 is the 15th wish from destiny 2 last wish raid ๐ฎ
Pretty sure not because I know you won't get it.
!coin
@ancient ingot, :coin: Heads
hey now
found a new one lol
dont tempt fate
Ow boy, now we play coins?
Zenno knew I'd demand a group hug after we get it
Sshhhh
ima go hide lol
coins are easier
it's a d2 if you look at it
wait is that why there's nothing under d4?!
Re-reading the part where DevilsD arrived, feels like seeing a bunch of kids got scolded by a teacher ๐คฃ
that is how it is
i was expecting a strike
because i have heard stories from #cpp that if you see them typing someone goes down!
but it's not their natural habitat, i wonder how they knew we were repeating a command, automod?
or did manny snitch(?)
eh maybe they just saw lounge lighting up on the side panel
that implies they check all channels when they light up
Lounge text keep getting lit probably, yeah
We are always watching...
You gambler lots better be careful, the devil(sd)'s have his eyes on you...
they might report this to devil(hd)
that's just creepy
In case you didn't do a typo, that's a very wooshed up joke.
I'll take a 1080.
i expected sd and hd to be common here xD
man if you ever went some period of your life where you didn't know you needed glasses
then i totally feel like you can experience life in HD (and suffer in SD xD)
i have had glasses since like forever but sometimes i feel like i have seen enough, let's leave it all!
real talk
I need them to drive (restriction on my license) but I usually dont wear them cuz I dont really read things at a distance haha
and contacts are the worst
i nap too much
i'd forget
that's kinda neat, so you are one of those that only take glasses when outside
but be careful as not using them can increase issues
ah really
What blasphemy talk is this? Leave all the megane behind?
i have heard they are annoying on the eyes
idk the idea of sticking a soft gel like lense on my eyeball has never been appealing
and they just feel weird
but ymmv
glasses are hype imo
I dunno if there's a hard jell version, but, well, yeah, if that's your thing I guess ๐ค
it makes sense design wise, why they are the way they are
i just never got used to them and haven't bothered to try again
What about a vr headset that can be used to adjust your eyesight using AR?
I wear daily contacts, they are super thin, you can't feel them at all, no cleaning or anything, just throw them away and get a new pair
I use Dailies Total 1 (90 pack)
I wish AR took off. Google glasses seemed cool but its like eh
I'll check them out for sure, thanks ๐
How often do you change it bm?
It's not the type that got rinsed in the solution every night?
like if you could use google glasses and google sketchup to visualize construction sites on-site, or like buildings/renos and shiet on an empty lot?
thatd be wild
thered be money in that for sure
I usually put them on only when I'm going out since my vision is not that bad, -0.75
I'd have to double check my prescrip but I think my eyes aren't that bad either tbh
like -1.25 maybe? sounds vaguely familiar memory wise lol
They are daily contacts, meant to be used for like 10-15 hours and you just throw them away at the end of the day
Ah, a workday's work then I guess.
wait how much do they cost if you just throw them lol
also, you don't have dry eyes issue with them?
Daily contacts are more expensive but worth, they are thinner (more comfy) and safer
you should, the slight strain without glasses stacks up, and your eye power increases quicker
Nope, these contacts stay wet the whole day pretty much, they are the best ones I tried
Looks pretty comedic imagining that, wear one for a few minutes, then throw it away like a boss before you switch to a new one in a cool pose.
I also need to get some new frames, my current pair of Raybans are scratched up.
$100 a pack or something?
Around 70$ for a pack of 90 that lasts me 2 months
Thats actually pretty decent, a bit pricey for sure but I mean your eyes are important
No red eyes or anything with these
They have one of the highest oxygen rating thing and water contents
They are definitely on the pricey/premium side tho
Honestly tho some of the more premium frame makers are like 500$ a pair ๐ฌ
and idk, depending upon how long they last, that could be amortized only over a couple years.
but yeah Ill check them out.
I can always give them to my mum or something if they dont work out
or wait
f
prescriptions and all that/individual variability in eye deficits
Speaking of which I need to order a new pack, I'm running out ๐
xD
do it up!
How long do makimono sushi rolls last? like a day at most eh?
I accidentally ordered too much sushi and then failed at eating it so i've been slowly eating it but theres still so much xD
A tip, don't eat McDonald's right before bed, woke up with diarrhea lol
ah yeah fair lolol
worst
also im thinking the smoked salmon is probably aight for a little longer tho since its smoked.
I have no clue lol
That was the original point of smoking it.
I used to cook professionally, but I never did sushi or like seafood really
ahah yeah
i was sorta half thinkign aloud, half asking a question
I know how to make myself eggs and that's about it ๐
Noice
pasta is pretty easy ngl
and you can buy some nice white and red sauces for it (in a jar i mean)
tortellini if you want some extra filling
I would probably end up burning the house down if I tried anything more than eggs lol
haha so fair
I honestly used to eat peanut butter toast for every breakfast cuz i was/am lazy af
and toast is chefs kiss
tho I've worked at a restaraunt where the head chef employed had once trained under Gordon Ramsay
buuut as a caveat i sucked at that particular job at that place lol
Cooking be hard yo
I had the easiest job too xD the ramen station
well supposedly
the orders could be v complicated
just with the additionals
I love peanut butter
I also love butter (not peanut) and jelly
It's ๐
haha same!!!!
Depends on what's inside of it, if the usual fish, a day at most, 3 days if in the freezer probably, but why would you eat frozen sushi.
Isn't that like, putting things together like a burger then pour in the soup? ๐ค
that sounds really useful ๐ค most ones i heard of used drops to keep them wet
and your eye color changes with it lol
that sounds fairly reasonable
why don't you use glasses though?
That's the one I know
i guess frames also suffer from wear and tear, and if you scratched em then your lense is gone ouch,
Didn't know daily contact is a thing if bm didn't bring it up
and if the maker didn't make them right you also lost all money
yeah, technology!
Pretty sure they use non scratch lenses nowadays.
those are pretty useless , atleast in my experience
one of my lenses with tons of features still got heavily scratched when i fell on a rocky tile thing
I think glasses can still get uncomfortable too no matter how well made they are
i mean yeah it's not bullet proof but works for minor stuff i guess i dunno
Rocky tile as in you use it for climbing and it hits the rocks? I don't think it's meant to survive that ๐
no i went grocery shopping and fell xD , my glasses flew out of my head and hit the floor
the floor is practically a rock that's made flatter right?
why did you have glasses in your head
but yeah either way, disposable contacts could work for it
like, from it not inside xD
so you dont have a hatch ontop of your head that opens up to put stuff in
only doctors can safely open it
Ahh... could've just say concrete, I got the impression that you got it scratched during climbing, I mean iike, if it was just a scratch instead of broken when hitting a tough rock while climbing, then that non scratch is definitely worth it.
I used to get some prescription glasses at a price, though they feel fragile and broke often, after awhile I just went and get like $10 cheap plastic frame + non scratch sort of plastic glasses, got thrown and hit all over the place over time, but works better than the more expensive one for whatever reason.
that's neat, i have bifocal ones and nearly all places mess it up when making
This is one of those rare cases where sometime expensive investment just don't cut it, the cheap one much more rugged.
and it's practical , as powers can change
sadly i am stuck paying atleast $200-300 just to get mine right ๐ฆ
Isn't that the one used as reading glasses?
Yeah, that one, why go with the bifocal? You have both myopia?
Eh, wait, is that the term? Lemme recheck what's the term for the other one.
Myopia and hyperopia I guess.
I tried but I got a headache every time I tried using them and it distracts me when driving too
That's $10 frame only btw, I forgot how much for the lens, not more than $100, probably 50, buy it on a questionable place at a local mall.
these things, the marking in this one shows the different power lense
yeah idk what it's called but both of mine are bad xD
that's understandable i suppose, but if you have found contacts that don't feel terrible on the eye, sounds nice!
that makes sense, because for 10 i would assume it's some premade bulk produced lense which idk if that exists
xD
Yeah I basically can't feel them at all
It's like very soft, very thin watery slimy rubber
Well, lets just say that unlike my old prescription, this one's a really cheap chinese unbranded product, both lens and frame, definitely not priced in a sane way.
At least it works nicely even when treated roughly.
It's called silicone hydrogel if you wanna look it up
Different contact lenses use different types of silicone, this one seems to be the most comfortable for me
you feel nothing on blink either?
Nope
as long as you don't feel strained or get blurry image i suppose it's working wonders
the robustness is a bonus
that does sound soft tbh
I'm 1.75 and 1.5, forgot which one is left or right, but yeah, it works great so far.
My eye doctor I went to actually recommended me not to wear glasses or contacts if I don't need to, only when I need to
Because apparently it puts strain on the eye which gradually worsens the eyesight
Yeah they are very very soft
whatever looks sharpest, if it's not sharp then you put strain and it makes stuff worse,
Heard that as well before, I'm assuming you're below 1.00?
Yeah -0.75
here
Yeah my vision is sharp up to a few meters, that's why I don't need it around the house
During the hectic times I assume?
Easily missed a post, gotta skim since the chat move so fast ๐ค
Not to mention I'm on mobile while working, on sunday...

slackers

Is that toilet paper?
preparing for the apocalypse i think
Sigh...
What's a bonk paper?
Bank paper?๐ค
Doesn't really look like a check or a dollar bill.
@deep copper
Just a random weird question, are you pfist?
nope ! but i don't mind being one with him!
I see ๐ค
Well, here, have a hug.
why did you ask? i have a fairly white name, not even orange
Just curious, pretty sure you're exclusively a lounge dweller, which make it partucularly sus.
Not to mention you're very friendly to everyone without any incentive in sight, but hey, who knows, just making up a random topic ๐ค
I mean, a guy who dresses like a bat clearly has issues~
without incentive ๐
you do realise i really enjoy the hugs

No idea, was just quoting some playboy billionaire from gotham ๐

that reminds me of those headphone socket splitter things
Additional answer, used to be an admin at some online gamedev community back in the days, find it hard to interact normally with normal users due to the caretaker status, so I often used multiple accounts to just mingle around.
so you are pfist ? ๐ค
Hmm, now that you mention it, we might all be pfist ๐ค
or ESRB ........
cough ESRB cough
we are not R rated? ๐ฎ
did you ever got found out?
Nope

What is it with you americans and toilet paper ๐
Americans? TP and bread was the hottest commodity here for about 6 months haha

Correction, what is it with you toilet paper people and toilet papers ๐
Bold, I shorted Tesla before their earnings, which sucked, but spiked their stocks. Then within 2 weeks it dropped about 35% lol
The momentary spike triggered my stop losses though
sk0g != eagle. got it.
it's a rolled soft paper ofc people want more of it
Oh sk0g was in the sk0g today, finally get to say it
no, the emoji
Did a 7k hike accidentally after we got lost. Doggo was powering me up the hills. Sometimes having a sled doggo really helps
sk0g != emoji. got it.
what's a 7k hike
๐ฒ ๐ฒ ๐ฒ
when a hike increases by a lot
you start with just 1 hike, then eventually you get 7000 of them
hikes to the moon ๐๐๐
250,000 hikes to the moon
nearly there!
Btw sk0g, you're the one mentioning netzdg yesterday?
sk0g said nothing. speak to his laywers
I have no idea what that is sorry, unless it's something to do with XII engine
"I have a right to remain silent"
The Network Enforcement Act (Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz, NetzDG; German: Gesetz zur Verbesserung der Rechtsdurchsetzung in sozialen Netzwerken), also known colloquially as the Facebook Act (Facebook-Gesetz), is a German law that was passed in the Bundestag that officially aims to combating fake news, hate speech and misinformation online.The Ac...
Oh maybe indirectly yeah, I was talking about the Indonesian one that was propped up yesterday
Yeah, that one, you're right, they're implementing it at the moment, it's bad.
Assuming you're German, I'm sad the German football team will no longer be called "Die Mannsschaft"
Cracker of a name
I have a dislike of the Indonesian government after I had to comply with their insane PII processing laws, then one employee personally leaked/sold the data set and it was used willy nilly by some of our competitors, at a previous job.
Took me awhile to realize it's r-rated ๐
Ah, that sounds bad, my condolences.
They're literally blocking everything now, and stupidly (incompetently) even their government site as well.
Authoritarianism is just so in-vogue right now, love to see it
Oh man I have some horror stories about dealing with Chinese companies for sure lol
In a gist, they don't follow their own rule?
The law works differently (weirdly) in some parts of the world...
The funniest was when some supplier wasn't allowed to serve us from a domain, as we weren't registered in-country. So we accepted some weird "encryption" to make dealing with a raw HTTP IP safe.
The traffic got routed to either HK or Taiwan anyway, so all that was for absolutely nothing.
The encryption also was SHA-1 with a weird rotation,
The law usually works better when you used the $ symbol though, weird.
China's a bit of an exception, if you go for a local arm, it has to basically be majority owned by the government approved local business partner
Piss the party off, and good bye Chinese operations
Sounds correct ๐
Honestly though, doing business with different cultures is interesting and fun. There's so many unexpected differences and wacky hoops to go through
I was purely on the technical side though, just there to make sure people weren't asking for crazy things we couldn't deliver.
I'm not sure I would call that fun, but I guess you might be the adventurous type. ๐ค
they can do 7k hike so obv
Japanese peeps were the best though, it was so intensely bureaucratic but also super polite
I was very confused why an hour later they were still greeting each other with "hi" at first though
you need to weebify yourself
Teach us senpai
if that hi is ha-i as in ใฏใ then it probably meant "yes" or something
Haha yeah, from what I gathered it was a polite/formal "yup"
idk ask laura for details
they can understand jap better from what i know
no idea about their background, i just know they are laura
That's like at least a Level 3 weeb
I've misplaced the weeb level definitions, helpfully posted here. Did involve body pillows or shrines at the upper tiers though
How did you write that kana so fast? Not in mobile I assume?
"greater weeb level 3" etc
mobile, qwerty to jap google keyboard
Aa, so desu ka...
Oh no what have I started
you can start much more ๐ค
Wonder if anybody actually read my handle in a weebish way
i actually did read your pic that way, not your name
i then thought "they don't seem weeby enough, probably just some stylised logo"
It's definitely just a stylized logo, really, 100%, definitely, yup
~~ is the biggest giveaway someone's a weeb I swear
now that you mentioned it
And French (or Belgian/Canadian) is when they put a space between end of sentence and the question mark
it did feel slightly off but i thought they saw it on chats and are mimicking it
goes to show you only believe what you are biased towards ๐ค
why ?
Just a tiny syntactical difference most French speakers don't notice or correct ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Didn't know that's a giveaway, usually use it the same way like jk is used, but in a subtler way, like you're not joking, but not serious either
I love that (French-French) do the base 20 counting, didn't realise other did that wacky thing too, other than my birth country
But then Belgian and Canadian French, IIRC, don't. Or the other way round.
Languages are hard
in jap there's that big thick round fullstop ใ
I sometimes subconsciously say "three twenty and 12" for 72 for example, and get a massive WTF reaction haha
Oh and Indians sometimes swap commas for a full stop, and a full stop for two full stops. Most Indian languages punctuate with, essentially, on or two pipes
is that helpful when dealing with currency or something atleast
Lol nopee
pipes?
You can see it here I guess
that's like | or symbol
Oh that too, their unit-words go 1,000, 100,000, 10,000,000
or whatever it is in bitwise
Like a true millenial I just type or, even in C++ ๐ง
And then there's whatever the fuck Roman numerals were even trying
Or is it pronounced eXi, the helpful GAS dude

Lounge alternates between cpp and here after all. Unfortunately AU is on a self-imposed ban from #cpp
cpp is a scary world
it is, have you ever seen it?
there's a huge influx of random people there
and you aren't allowed to go off topic
i don't even cpp, or ue for that matter, the only reason to go there would be getting striked for me !
It is off-topic 50% of the time, but the only OT allowed is programming languages
Boy does everyone in software love to debate programming languages
that's such a gloomy sounding chat !
_as if lounge is any different _
the only times i looked there was when there were random people asking random cpp questions, that's all i could see

infinate loop iv made
ohh
forgot to hook up increment on a while loop XD hit play
Looks like a cat-like entity rotating in 4d.
loops without increment should be called deja vu loop
indeed. and when dejected should play initial d
Excremental loop kinda sounds more fitting.
What would you call:
{i=i-2;

yeah like that! i goes the other way

After months of thinking, not thinking and modeling, my Spacemouse kit is finished.
The mouse is actually glued to the lower plate. Thus if i lift the mouse up, the mouse wont lift and i can comfortable to any movements i want with my spacemouse. the armrest looks too high, but its not. its perfect. keyboard also has perfect transforms, rotation, location, angle etc. all perfect.
He looks like he's half E.T.
i dont want to put keyboard into a water full with fishes u who wanna eat all the stuff inside
or just buy a new one
feed the old keyboard to yourself so it doesn't gets wasted

okay i stop here, before devilhd shows up
so Rider is the go-to IDE but visual studios debugger is better. Am I getting that right?
that's the meme
reality is the debugger is the same now from what I can tell; it's down to preference and if you go VS you still need to add R# or VAX
So its still better to for Rider than
I use Rider
since its a complete solution, 1 price tag
vs buying rider and buying VAX or whatever
if you buy dotUltimate you get Rider and R# and some other stuff for ~$10 a year more vs just Rider (prices go up soon though)
also Rider is in an EAP so it's free for 30 days from each EAP release (no license needed)
and we're on EAP 11 so the streak has been up for a while
EAP == Early Access Program
Hmmm noice
I'll give it a shot then before I buy it I suppose
I like IntelliJ
way fkn more than Eclipse
even maven repos were an nightmare in eclipse (for java lol)
I love Rider, but I'm really loving WebStorm (for doing nodeJS stuff)
oooo
JB makes good stuff
anyway every JB product has a 30 day trial (even when there's no EAP going on)
word
Ill download it closer to sept as I'm not developing until then
summer break and all that
but Im getting the SSDs and all that already
just a heads up all JB products are going up in price in Oct I think
they made an announcement
thanks tho dude
are they keeping the cheaper, year to year pricing structure (like you get a deal for extending your 1 year license into year 2 and 3)?
yeh everything is just going up x%
they probably said how much
but I just paid before they said that so I wasn't paying too much attention
Its honestly still decent. I come from the artworld and fuck do they gouge you on art software
ZBrush, Adobe, Autodesk
yeh I understand
mf'ers
I also have paid for Adobe CS
I stopped using it when they went to CC
I use Affinity Designer and Photo now (both one time payment - but you have to pay for their next major version release, support provided until then)
Yeh I've used CC for a bit, but there's not much to stop me from falling back to my old CS copies
yeah thats super fair
Hell my old copy of Photoshop 6.0 (not CS6) does almost everything modern Photoshop does
Yeh I mainly deal with raster, so I don't really use Illustrator much
fair
you can do raster and vector in affinity designer thru their "Personas" feature
basically it allows you to switch up the UI from raster to vector mode and vice versa
gives you slightly different tools to use as well
but I feel you lol
I like this free PS-like for Windows
https://photodemon.org/
noice
not bad
I'm pretty sold on affinity designer tho ngl
For instance, I used it to make Rimworld modding art
and a tricky part of that art is to use outlines
Oh I'm not trying to say you should replace anything
same thing with layer styles in PS though
yeah fair haha
I think it's mostly about finding a UX you like and where there are good plugins/brushes/etc if you need them
some people like GIMP for example.... they need help, but I guess they're entitled to that opinion
haha so fair
ye eh
I also use Clip Studio Paint for digital painting cuz the brush simulation/modelling engine is insane
yeah makes sense
CSP is more manga software tbh
but its a full suite of v shiny toys
the cool thing about art is that sometimes it's about using the wrong tools too
yeah true haha
I just haven't found anything like CSPs brush simulation.
Adobe Fresco is similar but eh
I really hate adobe lol
yeh it's been love/hate for like 20 some years now for me
looks like Namek
alas the tree trunks are aglow
Love it!
ye honestly games that had limited colours made use of blues, greens, purples, etc (cool colours mostly) to convey that sense of night and what have you
and limiting your palette and still producing something clean is seen as pretty skillful in art so ๐คท
probably has a use for some dreamland/pshyc episode kinda thing in the game. did u pack it properly after? hows that look?

So did we decide whats the best RTS of all time yet?
Army Men RTS by 3D0 and 2K
Starcraft thooooooo
yeah warcraft 3 was lit, played a fair share of it too
Battle for Middle Earth 2 was pretty noice too
ye hands down
back when they had the battlechest
its impossible to find, my buddy was telling me about it ;/
oh yeah custom maps were where it was at
werewolf? line tower TD? etc etc
wtf its 20 percent off too!
its atleast $100 CAD for an external optical drive (usb)
even battle.net had some lit custom maps
Bomber Command was insanely fun
there was also a map that was Dota-style but it was naval warfare instead of hero based. tho there were different ship classes and weapons you could get
so lit
aight yeah my votes also on Warcraft 3 lol
I liked the campaign, sucked at melee tho
but the community was probably a bigger part of my exp. than anything
yeah eh
Dota was really bad for str8 up booting you if you didn't have the map to begin with haha
thats the annoying thing with Starcraft is you get matched with crazy good players in Korea
I used to just play custom maps in starcraft too ngl
the map editor was pretty legit, tho much simpler
still a WYSIWYG editor tho
had a light scripting language for doing stuff in game
based around triggers and conditions
I really liked Dark Reign but its abit dated by more modern RTS standards
ah yeah fair
looks pretty hype
dungeon keeper was fun too, tho its more a management sim
Definitely another vote for AoM here, albeit never played the others much/at all
Where's Total Annihilation on that list?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/298030/Total_Annihilation/
What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machines escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds. The Core and the Arm have all but exhausted the resources of a galaxy in their struggle for domination. Both sides now crippled beyond repair, the remnants of their armies continue to battle on ravaged pla...

no CnC love either hehe
it was years ahead in '97
Never really liked CnC
it had some funny cutscenes tho
and good music
I liked what it added to the genre
there are some games which didnt add a whole lot, they are great RTS but were kinda just more of the same
they came out at nearly the same time
TA has way more stuff in it tho
and it's super moddable
TA also had things like shift queue before SC
I love the queue stuff in SupCom, thats why I still play it ๐
that and the zoom no minimap
Cave Dog also made TA: Kingdoms after TA, but I didn't think it was as good
it was performance which was an issue mostly for Kingdoms I think, needed a pretty high end system compared to previous titles
lots of RTS at the time were still heavy 2D
I had a high end system at the time, I just didn't like the gameplay
they tended to do it alot, with Rise of Nations they had Rise of Legends which was a sort of fantasy take on it, had some interesting ideas but overall it didnt work so well
TA was way better in every metric: more units, more resources, more teams allowed, bigger maps available, air/land/sea/underwater vs infantry/cavalry/mage, etc
Stronghold was pretty fun too ngl but it was a bit later to the party
seems like fantasy is the more popular theme, I want to do a scifi RTS so I was curious about why these games at the top of the list are more popular
Played a lot of Warcraft, starcraft and c&c back in the day, tried the c&c remaster but couldnt get into it
damn that was the best
yeh, personally I always like the sci-fi more but in this case it was a clear winner anyway
Homeworld 3 is being worked on
I mostly played WC 1-3, SC 1&2, and TA (also RTS adjacent games like CIV and Rome: Total War among all the other genres)
as far as RTS stuff goes
CnC never really pulled me in even when they had Tim Curry going to space
Company of Heroes is way later but F if that games isn't some insane RTS combat.
CoH3 tho... looking a bit sus ๐ still pre-ordered it tho cuz im a simp
I liked Sudden Strike more than CoH myself, I just preferred the slower more strategic approach
I feel that
Its hard to find a game that can do both, the sort of fast-paced real time fighting, as well as grand strategy elements
I played alot of Dawn of War with the half sized mod cuz it gave more units and room to move
Dawn of War was awesome
I'm really enjoying these co-op multiplayer games on steam recently tho, like Valheim and Phasmophobia
also Smithworks is a fun free-to-play co-op multiplayer game that is a bit like Overcooked but its first person and you're a blacksmith lmao
idk I don't think theres necessarily a bias against sci-fi tho, as long as the product is compelling or interesting
haha like what?
I think Red Alert 3 is clear winner for me
AoS is both pushing the limits and has a weird design
Its from 2008
probably forgotten
Grey Goo? ๐
compared to 2008 it had crysis level of graphics though
Recently I'm decayed towards Wargame Red Dragon
most difficult and realistic RTS I've ever played
Its unfortunate no one mentioned it, RA3 was pretty much very popular at that decade
C&C 3 and red alert 3 probably
c&c wrath of kane
only non RA C&C series I love is first Generals game
I'll never forgive EA for cancelling the new Generals 
EA screws everything up
Wargame red dragon is some real shit
C&C was hard
damn wargame even aware some tanks can not penetrate other
I deploy T72 as a simple man and when other guy deploys more modern tanks I lose instantly
breh ikr that game was wild af
managing your deck is harder than playing it ๐
real talk
tho the newer titles from the wargame dev are apparently bad. v long steam reviews outlining why it doesn't measure up to the previous series titles
I heard Steel Division 2 was good
What are the newer titles?
if we're talking deck games I've made some MtG Commander decks with enough tokens it might as well be an RTS
WARNO is the newer title i was thinking of
just saw it - So this is basically wargame v2? 
why this guy is angry in vc !
people use vc?
something like it
ping moderators if you think someone is breaking the server rules
everyone can be angry though ๐
Visual C
no no they are talking
of course
RUSE was dope but the military license expired and its off steam
ofc bro scroll down in channel
Each morning we should pray
don't you know discord voice chat is written in C++
...no I mean nobody uses VC compared to the text channels... it was sarcasm
who doesnt get angry when doing C++
for what !
So you get blessed with harmless compilation
ohh i seee !
more like C++ uses me
webscale
ohhh u getting used i see !
using Mons = ....
u have gun Asset ?
i just place bags of snacks next to my PC so the compiler behaves
Pretty normal across companies.
coming right up
can i see your gun asset ๐
yeah I hate these clauses
nsfw
what contract !
bruh thats str8 up insanity
We have a show in Turkey that called "who wants to be a millioniare" -- probably its originally an American show -- but the problem is when you win, you dont be a millionarie because government takes some of the money as tax and you earn something like 780k or something
ohh i see
usually they have a spot for you to list existing IP which isnt included or to add clauses such as game dev if its not linked to your job
Not sure how enforceable it is, but I wouldn't want to work on a company that even TRIES to pull that kind of ownership stunt
duh who would live or open a business in 40% tax lol
anyone has studio of dev working on a game can i join ! i am broke i need food and water !
Is mostly if you use company facilities deving side gigs.
ohh i seee low poly psitol !
nsfw man
eww, find a room you two
is this the beauty of capitalism, like if you are successful you earn more and if you are not you end up being broke or does it just make no sense at all?
Clarify it then.
๐ฅด
hmm sk0g you're in australia eh?
๐ค
Australia is the best... totally not biased
can i see your marketplace vault !
But as most said, likely not a problem, but who knows...
๐
waoh psiytl !
United Soviet of America 
I have no market place vault, I generated those for you with Midjourney just now
check out #generative-ai
can i see them i like to see others marketplace vault ๐
I think this gun has an eye
very heavy english
Must be true
our asset
I think they mean your marketplace store
show a photo of your marketplace vault what kind of asset u have
u understood ?
ohh i seee
I'll have to link my OF if you wanna see my assets ๐
you want an extra large pizza with pineapple correct?
and anchovy (eww)
gross but it's your pizza
yea !!!!
with that cute cat pp it doesnt look so threatening tbh
^ has cat pp
I'm not throwing orders to people though ๐
I see, they ctrl C ctrl V some contract, scare the crows.
anyone wanna see me speedrun a game !
๐
speedrun a code i mean not a game
in ue4
BP
!
Definitely, maybe they don't have enuf resources (money) for that.
Is it big company?
sed
I see. Talks about a bit of neglection for a big company tho, not that it matters - considering prolly most companies hate that part.
yum
since we're stating the obvious
I just hate everything equally ๐
Thats good to know you have something in writing clarifying the issue, good good dude ๐
Hey... I was never in secret affair with ++C++
As you should. No company will ever care about you no matter what they say.
maybe print out a copy of the email in context, dates, to/from, etc to keep with a copy of your contract
keep a paper trail
Okay, go do that AAA pacman you dreamed about
ah fair
Canada is weird
cuz the CRA makes you keep tax records for 7 years
so i print out a fair few important docus
show me ya sexiest code peeps
most countries do
the US makes you keep tax records too
makes sense
proud of this tbh
but fk java is verbose and that file is a beast
999 lines for a mod loader lol
wym, how I use whitespace and where i put the { and }?
i wish Epic was liking commenting their code as you
inline { is normal to me... getting used to UE's style took time
I like big headers and I cannot lie
Bring these flames! New lines wars!
Java and JS
ah okay that makes sense
it's just style, it's not like these are those horrible whitespace scoped langauages
"why don't you like Python?" they ask me... like I have time for that list
[] <- list
plus Zucc likes python.... cursed
ah okay i got it wrong then
lmao was it really
lawl
... calling me old I see
I use PHP to parse my C++ ๐ฎ
I did some PHP in college for web programming xD
php was awesome but insecure as hell, and we only wish our UE docs were 10% as good as the php docs
even node is better at this point, but if you must use php look at phalcon
https://phalcon.io/en-us
it's php for c
why should i learn node if i know php?
js is super easy
if only lol. I usually write the code first, but leave an empty comment above the code so i can go back after and explain how it works lol, or what i was thinking etc etc
json is super useful even outside the js env
yes
i don't hate on node.js, php just does the job for me
php was mostly insecure because their DB access was, let's call it "not the best"
I dunno I just learn new stuff all the time (not that node or php are new)
idk that statistic, but php was also more used back then?
well, at least their DB access makes SQL Injection quite impossible now
quite^^
you can still put user variables in your sql query
or you can use the parameter parser, up to the user dev ๐
Do you all do software dev for employment?
yes
i made more money with php than with anything after that period of time ๐
i do like java to some extend
most of my programming career was Java
how did c++ get the boost (no pun intended) in 2010?
Depends if we're talking about the caffeinated style or not
That's fair, but you're negotiating offers rn atleast!!!
hmm, thought that was more of a python hype
DevOps if that counts ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Skills wise I'm more Ops than Dev, have never been a Dev
Interesting that Java held on for longer world-wide than it did in Oz
that's not misleading
people search C++ more cuz they have more problems ๐
