lounge

[gusty star]

but are they undergoing living mummification lmao?

[deep copper]

oh yeah, monks that live with a dew of water or something

[celest musk]

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/japanese-monk-goes-nine-days-without-food-water-or-sleep

there we go 😄

[gusty star]

jeez

lol

[deep copper]

he looks huggable ngl

but tired

[zinc matrix]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_threes_(survival)

[celest musk]

The programme is considered the toughest part of a seven-year training that includes a total of 1,000 non-consecutive days walking around the mountain in a bid to achieve enlightenment.

yea the enlightenment probably was something like ffs, i should eat something

[zinc matrix]

hardcore skyrim player

[gusty star]

this is a pretty good rule but there are some exceptions

[deep copper]

was he paid to do this

[gusty star]

in -40 below celsius, frostbite can happen in less than 10 minutes for exposed skin (ie without winter gear like a warm jacket, gloves and an insulated hat)

[celest musk]

yea but survival is different

[gusty star]

true

[deep copper]

i mean, in a volcano you would last not even 3 seconds

[celest musk]

3 days without water sounds reasonable as you will be drained of energy and most likely wont be able to find some after that time

[gusty star]

hypothermia also will fk you mind and make you take off your clothes

even tho you're freezing to death ???

cuz you suddenly feel hot lol

[celest musk]

yea i kinda was in some similar situation

[deep copper]

might as well die hugging the snow

[celest musk]

at some point you dont notice the cold anymore

[deep copper]

that sounds so scary

[gusty star]

ye 😦

poor ben, glad ya survived

[celest musk]

idk if that was for the good 😄

[zinc matrix]

cold turkey is always a bad option

[deep copper]

it reminds me, there was some poisonous gas, which you smell at first, then if you stop feeling it, either the gas cleared or your nose went numb and you will now die soon

[gusty star]

dayumn eh

[zinc matrix]

helium

[gusty star]

carbon monoxide maybe? scratch that, it has subtle effects

[deep copper]

i wish i recalled what it was

[zinc matrix]

oh, right. i read about some russian(?) camping group. who all died in some storm or something. i forgot what it was called

[deep copper]

i feel glad atleast 🤗 , where were you though for that to happen?

[celest musk]

co2, too?

[gusty star]

ye I remember what you're talking about, I forget too tho

[zinc matrix]

but i really do not want to give this advice

i am enjoying grow home

everything there is a type of mushroom

[zinc matrix]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident this one ig

[deep copper]

good mushroom or no no mushroom?

[zinc matrix]

jumpy mushrooms

every flora you step in, makes you do a super jump

[deep copper]

i don't think so, but humans do get used to the smell soon

[gusty star]

right right, this one was quite the mystery for awhile

[zinc matrix]

actually is grow up

the second game

grow home is the first one

which i completed in 6 hours

[gusty star]

ye its called Olfactory adaptation, noseblindness, etc

[zinc matrix]

minus the steam achievement, which are non-sense killing time stuff

[gusty star]

or olfactory fatigue, probably more descriptive

[zinc matrix]

grow home was the first game i completed 100%

even gave a review

"AWESOME!"

super fair for a 5 hour long gameplay

i had to restart because at some point i grew a plant over the respawn point

and there is no way to trim it

[gusty star]

lol

[zinc matrix]

even on the second game this bug is present

[deep copper]

i think the gas gave olfactory paralysis, but results are too scary, anything i type, I can't look it up i guess 😦

[zinc matrix]

i restarted at 70 minutes of gameplay

now i am taking care a lot

[gusty star]

Idk if I had 100%'d too many games beyond beating the story, but I had 41 000 game score on my old xbox 360 account

[zinc matrix]

my xbox live account was like, 6% complete

i just bought games in guilty of pirating some in the past

took the dad card, explained the situation

and went nuts

[celest musk]

lol

[gusty star]

xbox 360 was lit

[zinc matrix]

he even blamed me

'why did you pirated stuff, i could buy to you'

he is the one who gave me Dungeon Siege

[celest musk]

as a dev, would you be pissed if a 13yo old pirates your game because he can't afford it?

[deep copper]

does having no games give me 100% completion

[zinc matrix]

i am developing a 100% freeware

but i would not mind

[gusty star]

maybe

I'd wanna know whos giving the kid the cracked version tho

[celest musk]

yea rather hope that they don't get malware with it, etc.

[gusty star]

cuz going after the end user makes no sense, if its the distributors making a profit/doing the actual crime (like potentially hacking me, or altering the software in violation of the EULA)

[zinc matrix]

nope, just the non-nerd certificate

[celest musk]

idk if there's much profit anymore

[zinc matrix]

and hugs access

[celest musk]

in times of torrent, etc.

[zinc matrix]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/343710/Kholat/ there was also a game very loosely based on that incident. (it was too scary for me 🙂 )

[deep copper]

who made it and why

[celest musk]

back then when there was real piracy with self burned cd roms, there might have been some people who made profit

[zinc matrix]

i know that some indies games, really small and non-famous, gets pirated in less than a week sometimes

[celest musk]

but after all, i guess it's not too much either

[zinc matrix]

idk

[celest musk]

well, if the game is good you can pretty much expect it

[deep copper]

or just websites with enough ads perhaps a few bucks

[zinc matrix]

piracy is really widespread on developing countries

[gusty star]

securitys always been a problem tho

[zinc matrix]

i bought minecraft years later

never played

[celest musk]

there's no security

[zinc matrix]

just because i pirated at alpha / beta version

[celest musk]

you can either piss off your paying customers with DRM stuff, and delay the crack a while

[zinc matrix]

i do not even have the account i bought it

[celest musk]

or you can just accept the reality 😄

[deep copper]

i wonder what the families of the people think about this, maybe they are collecting funds for them with this or something

[zinc matrix]

do you think developers goes bankrupt because piracy?

never heard of a case

[gusty star]

can you pirate games that run on a SaaS model?

like WoW?

no right?

cuz that seems bullet proof right there

[celest musk]

many reasons to go bankrupt actually

[deep copper]

is that why people make mmos now

[zinc matrix]

nope

[gusty star]

I guess they could play on private/modded servers still perhaps

[zinc matrix]

i think piracy is a small problem on the video-game world, but maybe i can be wrong

[celest musk]

does it run in a browser?

[gusty star]

No, but what do you mean lol?

[deep copper]

with steam it probably got better

[celest musk]

i know for a fact that some games (which didn't had public server binaries) made their own

gta v for example

[deep copper]

i know a lot of people who started buying, they used to pirate before

[gusty star]

mmm true eh

[celest musk]

is that what you meant with SaaS?

[zinc matrix]

idk... but sincerely i do not care that some companies get their stuff pirated...

come on, Blizzard was accused of sexual abuse

a multi billion company

[gusty star]

sorta, more like if you could somehow have like server side authentication of the clients keys or something idk, something that might be present in these always-online games

[celest musk]

all of that gets hacked sooner or later

[zinc matrix]

i head Nintendo fired some workers because they speaked up how fucked they are regarding workloads etc.

let me find a link

[gusty star]

air gap the servers lmao

[zinc matrix]

really neat, not realted to piracy

[gusty star]

military grade security or bust

hello NATO? I need a copy of TEMPEST

[deep copper]

what about poor indie devs who live off of it ?

[celest musk]

the only thing that can give them a leap, is all that game streaming stuff

[zinc matrix]

https://www.1101.com/iwata/index.html an transcript of a conversation of someone who was famous

[celest musk]

where the whole binary runs on a server

but thats probably expensive to maintain, and hard to sell

[gusty star]

wait maybe you couldn't cuz they'd need to be connected to the internet >_<

[celest musk]

no?

[zinc matrix]

i still do not think piracy is a major problem?

people who pirate stuff usually would not but the game anyway

[celest musk]

the whole network checks get nuked with patches

[gusty star]

i meant in reference to this ben

[zinc matrix]

and there is people who pirate before buying

[deep copper]

that is true

[celest musk]

oh

[gusty star]

xD ye

but then I thought about what I said

the game streaming thing is a good angle tho, good point

it just needs to be s c a l a b l e

(if it isn't already)

[deep copper]

am i scalable enough for you?

[celest musk]

can you be scaled to 0?

[gusty star]

I am indivisible. For I am already 0!

[deep copper]

just where are you planning to fit me with that scale

[zinc matrix]

if au gets scaled to 0

they can put you at the same ballpark of them

if you are multiplying or dividing

just to warn

O>O

Ben super kind

next step would lure tank and laura

[deep copper]

but if i multiply with anything then, it becomes 0 too

[zinc matrix]

then Eren

[deep copper]

idk how division works with 0, funky stuff

i rhink it becomes infinite right

[zinc matrix]

just do everything on a calculator nowadays

[deep copper]

and cuddly

[zinc matrix]

i use to multiply 2x2 nowadays

super quick

[deep copper]

try it next time

[zinc matrix]

fast access too

[deep copper]

that's hard

[zinc matrix]

Win key and that pop out

[deep copper]

this is easier, try handshake on eren

they love it

[zinc matrix]

now look at Discord

[broken sigil]

tbf getting pissed of in a game is sometimes fun lol

[gusty star]

if the math is simple enough I just do it in my head but otherwise I whip out a calculator for anything beyond simple operations lol

[deep copper]

it depends on the effort to open the calculator+ type it out vs doing it then and there

[gusty star]

I suppose

[zinc matrix]

numbers are complicated enough to not be out of a calculator

[gusty star]

yeah but ya'll undervalue the sky-high limits of skill

[zinc matrix]

everything you math do nowadays, or should be at the calculator app or at the python interpreter of Blender as a code line

just warning

[gusty star]

did you know nasa had a mathematician check some of the math, by hand, on some of their early missions?

(katherine johnson iirc)

[deep copper]

nasa didn't wanted to float on those weird floats i guess

[broken sigil]

that's how I message with my irl friend
I reply when I wake up, she replies the next day and I take another full day to reply lol
So it takes about a full week for a full conversation lol

[gusty star]

ye, I mean even claude e shannons theory of communication includes a concept of noise (like signal to noise) in a transmission channel, ie an error rate

[broken sigil]

except this is on messenger 😅

[deep copper]

your convos with mj is quicker

[gusty star]

has anyone seen Halt and Catch Fire?

[deep copper]

either way, i guess i will go sleep, if anyone wants to join me feel free

[gusty star]

(its kinda dramatized, but interesting in terms of subject matter)

its an AMC drama, about early computing

but ye named after the cpu instruction

if you have no intention of watching it, look up the synopsis or like google the name amc and highlights haha

[stiff crystal]

@broken sigil since you are here, can you fix #modular-gameplay-plugin's topic? the link is 404

right one is https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/game-features-and-modular-gameplay-in-unreal-engine/

oh wait.. we still have #server-feedback

I saw that #969360633386655744 nonsense and didn't really want to bother

oh.. the functional one got archived.. nevermind we only got the annoying one left

[gusty star]

in the same way that instructional/informatonal/educational and entertaining are at odds, its tough to write something about technical stuff (like sci fi famously suffers from over exposition when setting up the story) like programming, esp. in narrative form

[stiff crystal]

yeah it really has made me not give feedback so many times already

the old text channel was fine

that actually makes sense

but like, want to report broken sh*t still

[zinc matrix]

you guys should give feedback about that in #969360633386655744

[gusty star]

do you think its possible to make a game that teaches people the basics of ciphers or code breaking and have it still be fun?

[stiff crystal]

I don't want to be the one who wrote one of the 10 reports that is there

[gusty star]

maybe... like competitve wordle?

[stiff crystal]

pretty sure we have games like that Ted

[gusty star]

ye probably eh

[zinc matrix]

take a look at whileTrue_learn()

[gusty star]

I mean theres the board game mastermind, and you could abstract the ideas

[zinc matrix]

something like this

[gusty star]

mm yeah eh

Im familiar with that game

[zinc matrix]

actually the title is while True learn()

never played tho

[stiff crystal]

people play sims that simulate life

[zinc matrix]

but i am aware

[stiff crystal]

you'd be surprised how boring topics people like

[gusty star]

Papers, Please? comes to mind lmao

[zinc matrix]

boring?

it is an emotional rollercoaster

[gusty star]

ikr

but taken at face-value, its v boring.

[zinc matrix]

what do you mean?

[gusty star]

sort of looking at it without looking too deeply, an on the surface level look (how I meant it anyway)

[zinc matrix]

i think people are generally looking for gameplay mechanics all the time

this game made me cry like a baby

http://passage.toolness.org/

[gusty star]

ye, the so called "experience"

[zinc matrix]

but it took me out of blue

lasts 5 minutes

and it is responsible for games as being expressive art discourse

[gusty star]

One Hour, One Life is strangely poetic in how ephemeral it is.

[zinc matrix]

and it is basically about using the arrow keys to move and that is it

[gusty star]

OHOL btw is a multiplayer game where you play as people trying to survive thru history but you age and live a life in an hour.

[broken sigil]

fixed

[gusty star]

Its quite sad cuz the elders who survive and see things prosper are all teary-eyed leaving lol.

esp cuz the game doesn't let you host lobbies or anything, it just plops you in a server.

[zinc matrix]

like Journey

[gusty star]

I'm not familiar but I'm inclined to say yes

esp. if it comes to mind with mere description

[zinc matrix]

Journey just links you with a co-op player, out of the blue too

no name, no chat, whatever

username appears at the credits at the end

the game i linked is really close to yours OHOL

you start as a kid and then you age

and that is it

but no multiplayer

[gusty star]

I kinda like roguelites for all of this, they feel like a step-up in making game storytelling feel life-like (or atleast on par with movies)

ah okay

[zinc matrix]

there is people who consume Dwarf Fortress generated histories and they not even played the game once

idk, mixed feelings about that

[gusty star]

the problem tho with games like Dwarf Fortress is that theres so. much. info. and so little attention. plus the UI is shiet/inherently hard to design

and this is coming from like a decade long DF player lol

[zinc matrix]

never could get into it

[gusty star]

once you master the controls its gucci

[zinc matrix]

i was able to set a base and some farms

[gusty star]

like any game tho

its just harder to do so cuz there like 5000 hotkeys

[zinc matrix]

i hope they do fine with their steam version

[gusty star]

plus the goblins will raid you in year two without mercy

me too

[zinc matrix]

tho is violent, so mixed feelings again 😄

[gusty star]

tarn and his brother are pretty sweet tho, classic nerd dudes who are just super passionate about their game lol

[zinc matrix]

but yeah, the ascii version feels like coding in C

tarn has a talk on youtube

he close his eyes to talk

really sweet

[gusty star]

I watch them sometimes lol

[zinc matrix]

i loved them actually

[gusty star]

i feel that

did you see the more recent vid about the new sound track!!!!!!

[zinc matrix]

i inspired my game model on them, freeware, hoping to maintain development through donations

[gusty star]

noice

[zinc matrix]

nah, it has been 3 years i do not follow any video-game news

violence is a killer to me

makes me feel like a piece of unusable poop

[gusty star]

Fair lol

Tarn also made Liberal Crime Squad in 2002 (which granted, it was 2002) xD

so idk if he holds the same positions on violence (he is american after all)

but ye

Its not a bad game, but its out there for sure

but its weird because the future he posited has in some ways come true.

(cuz its about an extreme right wing take over of the US)

[zinc matrix]

never heard about this one

[gusty star]

and you play as a grassroots liberal activist, intent on reversing policy thru any means necessary

[zinc matrix]

ah politics...

[gusty star]

im not surprised lol, this game isn't well known at all

[zinc matrix]

my parents were freaking some days ago because the Argentinian president was almost murdered

the guy tried to fire twice a gun, closer than 3 meters

[gusty star]

(atleast some of the stuff he posited about the supreme court getting stacked with hard line conservatives)

[zinc matrix]

both ammo failed

they were hard on conspiracy stuff

[gusty star]

ah yeah thats wild lol

[zinc matrix]

both are super nuts on fictional discussions

no health to play with them

[gusty star]

ic ic

[zinc matrix]

i try to be apolitical as most as possible

i hate having to vote blank

why they just do not let me stay in the house?

at least the place i vote is like, 5 minutes cycling from here

a line of at least 15-30 minutes, everytime

no matter how soon or later i reach the place

[zinc matrix]

at least from government stuff

here you can participate physically on forums and discussion important people are doing

certainly i would get banned

i hit pretty hard when i have too

[gusty star]

I try to stay informed due to the enormous weight that US policy outcomes have on Canada

but I also try not to bring it up as most people don't really find it interesting, or its divisive. You know. Sometimes its more harm then good really, even to bring it up.

here its somewhat adajcent as I'm really more interested in how it relates to Tarns gameography

[zinc matrix]

yeah, people over fight sometimes just because of right and left designations

even not discussing a relevant or realistic topic

lol

all i want is to live on some 300 habitant Italy island

at least nationality i got

time to make money with game dev

and unfortunately i can not go into Nepal mountain cave because of basic necessities

otherwise...

[worldly mesa]

I did not realize this until right now, but there is an official blender chat. https://blender.chat certificate just expired, but i am sure they will fix that promptly. It would be really great to get some people over there, as there only seem to be a handful at this point. Guess i was not the only one who had not heard of it! I am aware there is a blender discord, but despite attempts to look like it, it is not official.

[deep copper]

that website is way too sketchy

google cannot display info about it either, should not happen for something official

and registration information is hidden as well. I would expect it to be registered to the blender foundation if it's official https://www.whois.com/whois/blender.chat

but it is in https://www.blender.org/community/ so idk what's up

judge me tank ❤️

jk

[covert cradle]

morning

[bleak remnant]

"Certificate just expired"

[covert cradle]

just got my engine set up so i can run my games in vr

[bleak remnant]

Nice

[covert cradle]

🙂 but is new to development but yeah is a vr gamer so why not focus on vr

[deep copper]

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7489871

google's reasoning is they have prohibited google from reading website information

tbh, i think it might just be something blender started years ago with no aim to grow it, and then forgot it even exists

[tulip orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/banana-dance-happy-excited-gif-23985011

[deep copper]

how's your hand now?

[tulip orbit]

hand is fine. Finger is still healing

much better tho, mostly closed up. no flexing

[deep copper]

is it okay to touch now ?

[tulip orbit]

yeah can touch

[covert cradle]

man this is gona be a fun journey

[supple apex]

!8ball is developing games in unreal engine fun?

[turbid spindle]

@supple apex, :8ball: Signs point to yes.

[supple apex]

Huh 🤔

[covert cradle]

well maybe in 6 month i have a other opinion

[tulip orbit]

oops. I put food in the oven and forgot to set a timer

[turbid spindle]

@ionic flame, :8ball: As I see it, yes.

[supple apex]

!8ball are you on epic's payroll?

[turbid spindle]

@supple apex, :8ball: Outlook not so good.

[supple apex]

Good tank UltraJudgingTank 👍

[deep copper]

yes, good tank, good tank 🤝

[supple apex]

That doesn't rhyme as good as good guy ted 🤔

[deep copper]

good guy ted ?

[supple apex]

Good user AU

@ionic flame
You watch any isekai anime lately tank?
Any recommendation?

[deep copper]

Good dez zenno ?

[supple apex]

There's types of it? 🤔

[deep copper]

does "good" isekai count as a type

[supple apex]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Any interesting ones will do, can't really judge any before I see them.

[deep copper]

i mean, i can think of a few, transmigration, reincarnation, rebirth, or those go back in time ones idk

[supple apex]

So, any recommendation AU?

[deep copper]

then there's also secondary primary genre, like slow life or rpg or action or comedy or idk

[deep copper]

i haven't seen anything in years 😭

[supple apex]

For someone who haven't seen anything in years you sure are good at categorizing the genre 😅

[deep copper]

i am more used to reading mangas, they have slightly more options there

[supple apex]

I also read manga mostly, that's why I'm mot that familiar with the anime versions.

[deep copper]

anime versions are mostly bad

there too few that are done better than mangas

[supple apex]

Hmm 🤔
Lemme think, don't really have that much focused preference actually, I mostly watch or read anything, and drop them later once I deem them not suitable for the current moment, but I might revisit them anyway later when the mood is there.

Last one I watch was saga of tanya the evil, 4 or 5 of the first episodes I think, because youtube recommend it.

Kinda different from the manga that one.

[dull bluff]

game dev is hard af

[supple apex]

There's a film?
Didn't know that, is it out?

[deep copper]

i think it is

i haven't seen it either though

[supple apex]

I'll add that to the list.
Didn't know it was that famous to have its own movie, theatre release?

[supple apex]

Rocket science, without the rocket nor the salary.

[deep copper]

it's a continuation of the anime s1 probably

[supple apex]

Konosuba is in the big 2? 😐

[deep copper]

overlord too ?

seriously?

ngl i liked it , i read the novel to know story later, and... yeah it's not up there for me anymore 😅

[supple apex]

Goblin slayer isn't in the isekai category I assume?

[deep copper]

ah well, that makes sense then

[supple apex]

I read several early something chapters of iverlord, I think I stop during the fight against one of the female vampire comrade or something? Kinda forgot, is there an event like that?

[covert cradle]

just curius if i make a fb page for my vr fun can fb store files or do i need a external site

[supple apex]

Better store it somewhere else, google drive if you want it free for example.

[covert cradle]

cool thanks

[supple apex]

Guess I read pretty far then, half the current season 🤔

[deep copper]

you stopped way early, but good decision imo

[supple apex]

I end up reading the other skeleton isekais instead afterwards, the one who have a pet named ponta, the executed lich king, and that rentt adventurer guy who turned into a lich/vampire.

Pretty early then, is the season after that good?

Which one got the anime? Overlord?

[deep copper]

it's good enough for a long while ||but becomes kinda irritating when they start killing people for no reason later||

[supple apex]

The ponta one have an anime?
Lemme search later.

[supple apex]

Not at the level of 'killing' as in akame ga kill and its characters I assume?

[deep copper]

i don't think i have seen that

[deep copper]

ponta anime is rather decent with the pacing, after watching tons of bad manga to anime, that is definitely one of the decent ones

[supple apex]

Not really fond of it tbh, nobody have plot armor at all, but I hear it have a pretty sizeable fanbase.

[supple apex]

I'll keep that in mind 👍

Good tank tank! 👍
I'll keep the list in mind, thank you.

[deep copper]

that is definitely the best of the lot

[supple apex]

86 kinda death toll?
Reasonable and with a purpose?

[deep copper]

there's no purpose later on

||yeah, and for the only sake of show off, it keeps repeating the same pattern, torture people for the greatness of the skeleton who doesn't even know why they are killing anyone||

but it gets repeating only very later on, so you are good for a long time

||i am not sure i am talking about armies 😅 did you see the part where people raid his place? that was really when it starts getting unnecessary for me||

||and when they start setting up people for the war||

yes

i am talking volume 7 or 9 in the novel

idk where that is in the season

[supple apex]

Should be judgeful 😅
I think that just means you're knowledgeable enough to be asked for a review 👍

[deep copper]

that's not that ahead i think

cool, long way to go then i hope

[pure summit]

https://tenor.com/view/work-working-gif-21852463

it is called overdose gring

[deep copper]

then it should be ahead enough, did i read more further than i think ?

[supple apex]

You've read pretty far it seems AU.

[deep copper]

if only i kept track of stuff i read ... 😔

||ah, so they scratched that out in anime?||

[pure summit]

am i banned ? 🤔

[deep copper]

that's nice!

then the anime version might be better, if they remove unnecessary parts

[supple apex]

Maybe the anime portray the event in a different focus/presentation from the manga that AU read?

[deep copper]

it seems tank has read it, so they know

[supple apex]

Anime often change the presentation anyway, just like that slime tamer yuuji who can do hellfire of demise, the manga definitely didn't look like the anime in progression.

[supple apex]

I can call the mods if you want the hammer 👍

[deep copper]

||it gets repeatative for me, the only depth characters have is flatter their place, and that was completely avoidable, but that's the point, he is overlord, he does whatever that pleases bim, except it's done by his minions who think that pleases him||

to each their own 😄

[pure summit]

i want the hugs

[supple apex]

I like the manga, haven't watch the anime that much to be able to give a review yet.

[timber viper]

mushoku tensei: jobless reincarnation
no game no life
Demon School Iruma Kun
re:zero
devil is a part-timer (technically an isekai)
angel beats
best ones tbh

[supple apex]

@deep copper is your user, have fun 😁

[deep copper]

oh yeah, that was fine, because there was a reason. it wasn't avoidable at times

[timber viper]

Btw to check if what is the last season of Kaguya I typed "kaguya season 4" to google and one of the mfer website gave spoilers with headline

Now I know what happens at end of s3

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[supple apex]

Good guy eren, thanks! 👍

[deep copper]

this is why you just watch till you can't find anything

well it's comedy right? spoiler shouldn't matter

[timber viper]

yeah they build the storytelling properly

[deep copper]

rip 😔

[timber viper]

anyway its still damn fun

i still have 12 eps that I dont know about

11*

how much Hayasaka has s3?

much or none?

nice

[supple apex]

I'm the type who get more curious when there's a spoiler, makes me wonder whether the actual implementation gonna be as good as what I can imagine or not.
Even if it ends up not as good, I usually still appreciate it anyway.

[deep copper]

my sister reads stories from the end chapter to see if it's worth the time

[timber viper]

Hayasaka exists
but whole damn show is about a boring girl trying to beat her own pride

yes I did

[deep copper]

what thing 😳

[supple apex]

I actually do that as well 😅
The end result doesn't always matter to me, I like seeing what happened during the journey to the conclusion.

[timber viper]

gotta watch ep2 s3

[deep copper]

i mean yeah, if conclusions mattered people would just be reading summaries

[timber viper]

[deep copper]

i like knowing one type of spoiler, whether char dies at end or not

but occasionally it becomes useless whether they do or not lol

[timber viper]

It'd be funny if one of the chars die in kaguya tbh 😄

tmw side chick is better than main one

[deep copper]

he also liked puck more in rezero

[timber viper]

true

also Rem over Emilia

but cute

cant help loving it

[supple apex]

Eren like the underdog candidates it seems.

[timber viper]

https://tenor.com/view/subaru-subaru-natsuki-subaru-and-cat-subaru-cat-subaru-and-puck-gif-22911439

[deep copper]

they have a cat for a reason, take the hint, anything is fine for them if it's cute

yeah

[timber viper]

like any cat

[deep copper]

||also an irritating gatekeeper of info||

[timber viper]

@deep copper dont give spoilers without || pls

last time I managed to escape with minimal damage

[deep copper]

yes yes, i care about your well-being

[timber viper]

does that mean..

[supple apex]

Which spoiler did AU add without censor?

[timber viper]

nice

[deep copper]

i always censor, it's eren that reads it lol because curiosity, so it's as good as not there

||besides you can't tell what's in it without clicking to know if you shouldn't have||

[timber viper]

btw

has Emilia ever died in re:zero?

[supple apex]

Did*?

[deep copper]

eren, i will ping you every 48 hr so you remember me well enough

[deep copper]

||first part yeah||

did you forget ?

[timber viper]

yes

this is a fact

tank didnt say to irritiate me

I rewatch everything each year

because I literally forget

[deep copper]

tank is aware of your issues and takes care of you like the universal mother they are 🥲

[timber viper]

that's for Laura not me

[deep copper]

you aren't too far off,

they like panda you like cat, same thing nearly

[timber viper]

I usually get blamed because of being rabbit brain

especially when I irritiate tank enough

[supple apex]

The good side, that way you can enjoy the excitement as a first experience every time 👍

[timber viper]

yes, its a blessing

i watch to forget 😄

[deep copper]

remember, you kept pinging tank when talking to me before ? goes to show how close you both are

[supple apex]

Buddy buddies

[timber viper]

i dont remember when did I ping tank when talking to u

I remember pinging him once with "can u do your thing"

which means tank was going to blast u

[deep copper]

you have done it atleast thrice

which is why tank finally got fed up

me being unblocked is a result of that

[timber viper]

looks like your boss is looking for a VCS admin

[pure summit]

dancho do u know about the sea ?

[timber viper]

nani

[deep copper]

no wonder tank knew your experience year count here eren

[supple apex]

Offline work?
Wonder how bad this "broke everything" is 😅

[timber viper]

actually he was forgot to enable something in code and game didnt start then I ended up being blamed for hot reloading

[deep copper]

yeah they live far off

[timber viper]

but my UE really got broke because of an external app that I couldnt figure out why and I couldnt help much in the end

[deep copper]

there there 🤝

[timber viper]

I remember we wasted 3hr on something about github but dont remember what was the issue

i remember you were checking other branches etc

[pure summit]

guys i need a city map

[supple apex]

Sound buddy buddies alright, consider that a praise 👍

[deep copper]

you should take less stress maybe, it really effects memories

[pure summit]

like the city sample but smaller in size

[supple apex]

Play gta or google anya.

[deep copper]

does google map not work ?

[timber viper]

Did this happen after I went to holiday or before? 🤔

[pure summit]

i did sister

[pure summit]

guys a map in unreal a level like city sample but free

[deep copper]

hmmm, #ue5-general ?

[timber viper]

I wonder how did I manage to cause that

[supple apex]

You mean a whole full level?
For free? 😐

[deep copper]

they are having bromance here, and I don't use ue, your best bet is #ue5-general

[supple apex]

🤔

[pure summit]

just with building and streets to test something with it

[deep copper]

there are plugins that bring models of a location to project

[timber viper]

people at #mass just draw traffic simulation to empty maps

why u need a city

[deep copper]

i recall blender had something open map something

and twinmotion already does it

[pure summit]

to test how many npc my game can handle like in GTA

[deep copper]

which is nearly by epic

[timber viper]

you dont need a map though

[timber viper]

you wont be able to reach GTA's level with mass on PS4

[pure summit]

good idea but not fun 😂

[timber viper]

Mass is not optimized enough

also you just need to profile CPU time

under mass category

you can do it in masssample too

[pure summit]

not the same size of GTA map but i meant open world

[deep copper]

isn't there some L city example in ue

[supple apex]

The closest I can think of is some guy in the blender community making something like that from a city map they got from the net or something.
I wouldn't rely on free though, you should check the marketplace I think.

[deep copper]

what was it called

[pure summit]

90 giga to download the whole sample

[timber viper]

maybe megafunk has something on MassSample repo

[deep copper]

this is what i meant basically,try this , it adds dummy cubes for free atleast

[pure summit]

i did i found nothing sadly only the paragon maps which is very small

np guys thanks anyway

i thought i might missed free on in the market place so u could tell me its name if someone used it

[deep copper]

ah, you are searching for some free mp city content

[supple apex]

OpenStreetMap?
At least that's what I get from google.

[supple apex]

Epic's city sample too heavy for the project you're aiming?

[deep copper]

something like that i think

it adds roads rivers and building stuff as dummies

if you just need something for dummy scale , it's perfect

but obviously, only has data of the places you think it would have data of

it doesn't has stuff on a lot of boring places

which you would often actually need it for tbh

[supple apex]

You do 3d modelling AU?

[deep copper]

nope, i hug 🤗 🫂

[supple apex]

You hug 3d models, I see 🤔
Quite the hobby.

[deep copper]

will you be my good 3d model ?

[pure summit]

yep + too big to download and to render its shaders

[deep copper]

they always go big

[supple apex]

There was a free marketplace content containing city blocks several months ago I think.
Might wanna check your library, maybe you download those before.

[pure summit]

i watched the first episde only

worth it ?

[timber viper]

it just says anime truck

[pure summit]

laura watchs anime !!!

you had to watch better ones

[pure summit]

I'm shocked man give me hug

[timber viper]

@deep copper

[timber viper]

watch Aku no Hana next

I just recommended it

[pure summit]

Laura:

[deep copper]

exactly 😭 poor dude

laura is way more tolerant lol

your tastes are unique, tank 😄

does that mean if i were an anime you would watch me ? 😮

you are a pro weeb 🤔

contrary to what your pfp gives off

do you have figurines and pillows ? that should help define if you are a high level low rank weeb or high level high rank weeb

also, isn't it time for you to sleep ?

go sleep

mama tank needs sleep

so maybe a lower mid rank high level weeb

hmmm, and you also don't seem to have self esteem issues so let's make you a lower rank high level weeb

[timber viper]

weebs are suppose to have self esteem issues? 🤔

people have nice taste

though I disagree

and Hayasaka?

so Japanese people like traditional and authoritative woman

Emilia is cute but not that cute

[deep copper]

generally speaking, yes, and easier to hug

[deep copper]

Emilia is oddly distant tbh

[timber viper]

bruh she is just a child

true

[pure summit]

Anya-san is number #1

https://tenor.com/view/spy-x-family-anya-sparkling-eyes-anime-gif-25175073

give me the list i want to check it

[timber viper]

Looking at to (a similar) list; Japanese people are really into dominant woman

either Fujiwara-type of childish ones or dominant ones

lmao what the hell Beatrice is doing in that list

its not even cute

[short grove]

funny, so apparently the windows security team did an oopsie, again, and pushed an update (specifically security intelligence version 1.373.1508.0) and that gives false positives for electron and chromium based apps

[timber viper]

why Marin Kitagawa is not on the list

internet looks confused

weird characters are all over the place

[short grove]

yes i prefer a forced update in the middle of my work 😢

[foggy path]

is this some kind of BDSM hentai^

[fleet tangle]

Well, she is kept in a box.

[deep copper]

and one dude ties others with threads

there's also a weird exhibitionist with a mask

[deep copper]

and her mouth is kept sealed

okay this keeps getting way worse the more i think 😨

[zinc matrix]

you know whats also getting worse? yt shorts... you were right about it. now my feed is filled with joe rogan and ben shapiro clips. i have no idea why.

[deep copper]

i went through that phase, the next would be "what is a woman" phase

by some welsh mattress (?)

idk he has a big boxy beard

[zinc matrix]

you can disable those?

[deep copper]

those channels basically go and ask funky looking people "what is a women" and they all say "idk because i am not one" and none of them actually ever try asking a women idk why

[timber viper]

my feed is full of family guy shorts

[deep copper]

there's also that, yeah

[timber viper]

which is awesome tbh 😄

most of them are funny

[zinc matrix]

lol

[deep copper]

tbf i was enjoying those too, then it stopped showing those randomly

[zinc matrix]

i always ask to remove shorts when they appear at my feed

[timber viper]

since family guy became popular in 2010s, show is full of sarcasm

cancel culture wasnt a thing back then 🥲

[deep copper]

they do make real aggresive jokes

[timber viper]

and mostly fair

[deep copper]

which is why it's fun to watch

[timber viper]

I watched 6 eps today after seeing from shorts

[deep copper]

i thought i would watch it as well since it looks episodic , but i procrastinated

[timber viper]

I love how Meg somehow get roasted everytime

[deep copper]

then lost interest

[zinc matrix]

oh god, i think i started shifting to that phase earlier...

[deep copper]

ABORT ABORT

[zinc matrix]

so basically you can see my future. whats next?

[timber viper]

WW3

[deep copper]

that's the worst part of yt shorts, stop it !

[zinc matrix]

BUT I NEED TO KNOW!!

[deep copper]

you will see ben reacting to cringe tiktoks

and then you will see others reacting to those

and then you will end up directly seeing those

[mossy nexus]

pro tip : Have multiple youtube accounts. that way your normal one doesn't get filled with crap, just because you once let your cursor hover over a yt short about monkeys wears sunglasses or whatever.

[timber viper]

YT algo is definitely cursed and broken

[deep copper]

i have multiple accounts, all went down different routes, and i didn't like any

[timber viper]

I think I saw a high level implementation of YT recommendation algorithm, it was very primitive and basic

there isnt even a cool and difficult to understand math involved

[deep copper]

if (seen weird video) {
show more weird video()
}

[timber viper]

it works on top of a table

that collects tags etc

and those tags probably collected without any useful data

[deep copper]

ah

so if you see a different video with different tags, they get higher weightage ?

because , natural flow of table

or something

[timber viper]

yes but how tags are related to each other has no rich relationship between other

[deep copper]

that's so sad

well they did say the relation was based on people watching the tags

not tags themselves

[timber viper]

At least from my experience it's not able to recommend something similar

it keeps circling on same things

[deep copper]

if you search, definitely

i never find useful stuff in search,

but after a few months, randomly a really cool video on that would pop up

[zinc matrix]

nope?

[timber viper]

Stupidity of YT algos make me question if google actually made a sentient AI 😄

[zinc matrix]

i remember being asked if i wanted to see new stuff rather than circular recommends at some point on my Youtube usage

since then, my videos are always new stuff

[deep copper]

so your answer got taken into account for its algo ?

i never got asked anything like that

[zinc matrix]

it was a warning. something like, 'do you want to see only new content?"

[timber viper]

It asked me if I want something "unrelated" to my current ones

I pressed yes

saw unrelated things for once

[deep copper]

hmmm

[timber viper]

then same things appeared again when I reopened the tab

[deep copper]

i recall it was showing me same things when i had turned off my watch history on one account

[timber viper]

couldnt they just show 20% unrelated and 50% similar

and 30% for the current loop

it'd even better if we would be able to set those percentages

hire me google

[deep copper]

youtube is kinda not that innovative 😛 , maybe to maintain ease with their userbase

i think the easiest way to make them do something would be make a competetor do that

they copied shorts easily when ticktock came

[zinc matrix]

maybe it works for me because i consume mostly music

or game dev. tutorials

[deep copper]

perhaps

Closest thing to them where I am would be if someone painted some swans or something.

there was a great lake

there are many kinds of apples, since they were gonna do 2 they should have made 1 red or golden

anyone that has studied cinema knows it

[zinc matrix]

i mean, is not a famous multi million production, is where when cinema was defining itself and pearls like that emerged

yeh but in the general public? I've heard people actually talk about Metropolis and Dr. Caligari

[zinc matrix]

general public think hollywood stuff is classic

i mean, sure they have they importance

it has less than 50 years of age

classic is stuff that resist through time

[trail wedge]

96 was when I learned Java

[gusty star]

[zinc matrix]

hehe

[gusty star]

I probably didn't have a computer (even in the household) till 2004 ish

[zinc matrix]

i tried to learn java when i was around 6-8 years old

stopped at the second or third exercise

[gusty star]

my dad had a ps1 tho, and then my brother and I got a ps2 for christmas a year or two after release

[zinc matrix]

i was trying to find the solution throwing the error of the course at google

😄

it was a custom compiler

[trail wedge]

I got my first computer that was mine (not the household's) in 97

[gusty star]

dayumn!

[trail wedge]

bought it from my friend's dad who worked for JHU APL

[timber viper]

My household got a computer around 97s too

before I was born 🥲

[trail wedge]

The first computer in my house was when I was really young

[gusty star]

my parents didn't have much money when we were younger but that was sort of different even by the time I was in highschool so eh I survived I guess lol.

[trail wedge]

[gusty star]

tho I had access to computers at school and all that

[zinc matrix]

no NumPad?

how could you Blender on it?

[gusty star]

I think my first computer (the family one) was a HP Pavilion (?) media center model lol. It was grey and had a bunch of old IO on the front lmao.

[trail wedge]

after that one we had a IBM PC Jr, and then an IBM PS/2 and like a million random 286/386/486s I was refurbishing for school (they were a donation)... then I got my own PC way later

[gusty star]

tho I bought a laptop when I was 18, an ASUS book that was decent at the time (a few years ago when intel was still aight)

[trail wedge]

no Hard Drive

[zinc matrix]
