[celest musk]

oh i might have mixed that up with something else

so it's 15 oled buttons

[trail wedge]

yep, they have bigger ones too

[celest musk]

well, i think that price is kinda reasonable then

those buttons are not really cheap

specially when they support RGB

are they OLED or LCD?

[trail wedge]

yeh I've wanted one since I saw the first prototypes of these types of display key keyboards back in the early 2000s (or whenever it was)

[trail wedge]

IPS LCD it looks like

that wasn't too important to me

[celest musk]

i think at one point there was a company which even offered a full size keyboard with oled buttons, but they somehow vanished

was probably way to expensive

[trail wedge]

yeh that's the one I was thinking of from back in the day it was mad expensive

like $1K or something when it came out if I remember right

[celest musk]

yea

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Maximus_keyboard

$1,600 apparently

[trail wedge]

damn I went high and was still at like half

but yeh that was it

[unborn lotus]

I wonder if you could bind stuff to sliders/knobs in UE...or even blender modeling

[trail wedge]

You should be able to. The stream deck I got lets you bind to any keys and I saw razor has one with knobs (also there are other brands like the one you posted)

This is the Razor one

I thought people liked these kind of 3D mice for modeling though

[celest musk]

you can for sure in UE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a30fWyLeP98

not sure about the loupedeck tho, couldn't find which protocol they use

but anything MIDI/DMX should work

ok, seems like the loupedeck also has midi support, so should work

and offers more inputs compared to the monogram stuff from the video

[unborn lotus]

alywas thought of those as gimmicks...like you have too much cash to spend and use one of those for 3d navigation...I get the many button appeal though

[trail wedge]

I think the people buying them don't care about the price or their work is buying them

[celest musk]

i think the space navigator really has its use

[trail wedge]

I know tons of architects/engineering drafters use them too

with CAD

[celest musk]

this thing has so many functions within that one knob

you can shift it, tilt it, rotate it and push it

[trail wedge]

it's got nothing on some of those MMO mice

[celest musk]

i bet there's not one MMO mouse with so many axis features

[trail wedge]

I mean you're right about the axis, I just mean total buttons

looks like most of them have 12 extras on top of the normal 3 base mouse buttons

[celest musk]

but i also wonder if it increases productivity, or if it's less stress for the hands

or more precise

[trail wedge]

I think it's about your wrists and being precise (quickly)

[celest musk]

there must be something with them, 3D Connexion and the spacenavigator/mouse exist for at least 15 years now 😄

oh, apparently they are part of logitech

[trail wedge]

yup

can't you tell from the design?

[celest musk]

no, i looked it up on wiki 😄

[regal pecan]

Probably good for 3d navigation. Otherwise half of the time spent in these programs is moving the view around.

[trail wedge]

good point

[regal pecan]

There's also quite a few tools with multiple-axis handles that it might be useful for, as opposed to hammering the shift/alt/control scheme.

[celest musk]

i have a spacenavigator laying around which i teared down for something else years ago.... maybe i should try to reassemble and give it a try 😄

[regal pecan]

If all else fails you can play Elite: Dangerous like a fancy pants.

(Disclaimer: I do not know if E:D supports 3d mice.)

[trail wedge]

you can see it though right? just pop a Logitech logo on there and it'd look right at home on the shelf next to their keyboards

[celest musk]

yea

[zinc matrix]

lol

is that a mouse?

[celest musk]

the product quality is also pretty flawless

[trail wedge]

maybe this is from 2011 saying you can play the Sims with it
https://www.cgw.com/Press-Center/News/2011/From-Microsoft-Outlook-to-The-Sims-3D-Mice-Can-N.aspx

[regal pecan]

It's really more of a joystick, isn't it? I'd like to imagine it's descended from the Microsoft Sidewinder.

[trail wedge]

a 3D mouse for modeling and CAD

[zinc matrix]

ah I see

[trail wedge]

they call them 3D mice, but yeh the tech is more of a joystick

[celest musk]

a joystick only has pitch/roll and if you are lucky yaw

[trail wedge]

maybe shitty ones... the Sidewinder had more than that

[celest musk]

the 3d space stuff has also the ability to move in all directions

you could push the whole stick forward?

not tilt!^

[trail wedge]

Joysticks got worse after the 2000s because there aren't games for them anymore so nobody was buying the nicer ones

[regal pecan]

Just cover your joystick in 8-way hat switches.

[trail wedge]

it had a throttle slider for that

[celest musk]

well, thats only 1 axis tho 😛

[trail wedge]

it had more sliders and you could twist the stick multiple ways

what an old chonker though looking back

[unborn lotus]

are there any flight games in VR where you actually grab a virtual joystick instead of pushing the controller joysticks? seems like a missed opportunity at first glance

[celest musk]

yea, brother of a friend had it to play flight simulators 😄

[trail wedge]

I still have 1, great for playing Decent Freespace

[celest musk]

first force feedback joystick back then

[regal pecan]

Back in the 90s they didn't think you'd be willing to screw directly into your desk for the sake of video games.

[trail wedge]

or at least 1st big one

[celest musk]

now he is pilot and flies passenger planes 😄

so stepped up the game a bit

[trail wedge]

well they don't let me dogfight in space so I gotta wait I guess

[celest musk]

soon™️

[trail wedge]

it's ok Volition isn't gonna make any new Decent FreeSpace games either

they just do Saints Row now

[zinc matrix]

I love how long it takes for procedural textures to bake in blender
really gets me into unreal quick

[cursive crypt]

Gotta love how 71% RNG means 3 times in a row a miss. Don't do that in your games.

[cursive crypt]

Was Oblivion the one where even if you hit, there was a % to actually hit?

Nah, these are turn based, not the same. I mean, not only you have to physically connect, but also roll.

Or maybe it was Morrowind, now thinking more of it 🤔

I haven't played Oblivion actually.

[unborn lotus]

for sure it was morrowind

oblivion was a lot better, shooting arrows actually hit and were stuck in targets

[timber viper]

Oblivion didnt have it

[cursive crypt]

[deep copper]

just ask questions in the respective channel and someone might answer, this helps you because a single mentor can be away at times, and this would also teach you how to frame better questions, however you can also give #volunteer-projects a shot by following #instructions

where the units move in a blockchain

and you can only have NFT heros

[fleet tangle]

I mean, technically aren't most mmo characters non-fungible?

[celest musk]

no idea, never played such games

[carmine frigate]

i dont even know what fungible means ... i dont know fancy words

[trail wedge]

fungible basically means replaceable (exactly)

like all electrons are fungible because they are all identical

same thing with a dollar

[carmine frigate]

dollar has a number

[trail wedge]

an MMO character is non-fungible like Daekesh said because it is unique

[trail wedge]

we're talking about value wise in this case

the number on the dollar is for tracking and doesn't affect it's value

just like the address of an NFT has nothing to do with whatever it's valued

simply adding an ID number doesn't make something non-fungible it has to also be unique in some meaningful way value wise

[carmine frigate]

im not sure if electrons are identical 😛

[trail wedge]

well take physics until you are sure

it's kinda a fundamental thing

[carmine frigate]

are they all the same age?

[trail wedge]

all energy in the universe is the same age so it depends on what exactly you mean with that question

there's even been a theory (not currently supported) that they aren't identical but are in fact all the exact same electron moving forwards and backwards through time

[celest musk]

are they really all equal?

or is just everything considered a electron if it does the job of what's defined as electron

[carmine frigate]

thats a cool theory

[trail wedge]

yes that's the foundation of the standard model... all fundamental particles are identical and have intrinsic properties of mass/inertia, spin/chirality, and charge which are always the same for that particle

[celest musk]

to the current standards of what can be observed

[trail wedge]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe

[celest musk]

that would mean that the whole timeline is that

like everything, even what i type right now

[carmine frigate]

respect to that single electron than... its keeping everything together

[trail wedge]

In the standard model all those properties on the left of the box are always the same for each type of particle

[carmine frigate]

better not take a day off

[celest musk]

even what AU types 😄

[trail wedge]

bad electron

[celest musk]

you wouldn't notice anyways?

it would just stop time?

[trail wedge]

what would "a day" even mean here

particles moving at light speed don't experience time

[mossy nexus]

If you were moving at the speed of light, you'd experience time. It's just different at those speeds.

[fleet tangle]

Higgs Boson really pretty massive.

[trail wedge]

no you wouldn't.... not AT the speed of light

[celest musk]

not what physics defined as time

but there's still some kind of time happening

[trail wedge]

close to the speed of light you would experience time slowly (compared to an outside observer)

but not at the speed of light

[fleet tangle]

At the speed of light you'd... just stop?

[celest musk]

so what if you are traveling at speed of light, and something is orbiting you?

[trail wedge]

no... photons do not experience time

[celest musk]

wouldn't you be able to have some perception of the time they need for the orbiting?

[fleet tangle]

Just become tachyons and leave c in the dust.

[trail wedge]

no time just wouldn't pass... FOR YOU

[celest musk]

from outside maybe

[trail wedge]

the rest of the universe would see you moving fast

[celest musk]

but from your scope you should still be able to have time perception

[trail wedge]

no

[celest musk]

thats nonsense

[trail wedge]

it's not gonna be true the more you guys say it

[celest musk]

if something orbits me, while we both travel at speed of light

why wouldn't i be able to tell its moving around me?

[carmine frigate]

i dont know enough too agree or disagree 🙂

[trail wedge]

ok first off you're proposing an impossible situation... something can't orbit something that's moving at the speed of light because that orbiting object would have to move faster than the speed of light to make an orbit

[fleet tangle]

Unless they were both orbiting a single point and their rotational velocity was c

[trail wedge]

and also you're asking a dumb version of the train question that Einstein used to think up GR

[trail wedge]

no

that won't work

[celest musk]

asking dumb questions is what brought us here

[mossy nexus]

Things cheat though, galactic bodies are moving [relative to us] faster than C because spacetiime is stretching the area they inhabit. So if you live on one of those worlds, relatively speaking you're moving that fast 🙂

[trail wedge]

you'd be moving c + something to orbit something moving at c when you're in the part of the orbit that has any alignment with the direction of travel (of the orbited point)

[carmine frigate]

NFTs 🙂

best use case so far

start a conversation about electrons

[fleet tangle]

Unless the point isn't moving

[trail wedge]

it was my fault for assuming you guys knew all electrons are the same

[mossy nexus]

lets not even think about the amount of shenanigans thats goes on with quantum tunneling

[celest musk]

i wont see it

that's all

but that doesn't have to be the only way of observing things

[carmine frigate]

well not many things are exactly the same

[celest musk]

that's just using some limited sense to manifest a theory

[trail wedge]

that's not the question being asked.... you can keep changing stuff all you guys want...
You can't move faster than c and time stops for you if you ever reach it (you can't it takes infinite energy if you have mass)

[celest musk]

but neither proofs me wrong?

[fleet tangle]

I didn't ask that question, though. I'm simply proposing an alternative where 2 things could orbit a central point, both moving a c.

[trail wedge]

yes it does we just don't have time to teach you GR, SR and QM

[carmine frigate]

like i know atoms arnt exactly the same

well i think so 😛

[celest musk]

alright then...

[trail wedge]

no Ben asked a question and you modified it

[fleet tangle]

It's a shame there's no stable light orbit at the EH of a black hole, or that would definitely be an example

[fleet tangle]

I believe that's what "proposing an alternative" meant in this situation.

[trail wedge]

people don't understand math is just a descriptor.... if it doesn't match reality the formula is wrong

[trail wedge]

I think what you did was ask an entirely unrelated question that just seems related

[mossy nexus]

I was here, it was. @sand oxide

[celest musk]

honestly that discussion can just be stopped

[trail wedge]

nah I'd have probably dipped out

[celest musk]

if you cant even see how daekesh tried to make my example more valid for you

to even consider thinking about it

[trail wedge]

I do see how... but it also transformed it to another unrelated question

[fleet tangle]

I mean, he's not wrong. The universe does abide by laws/maths, but not necessarily the math we propose.

We are absolutely wrong, I'm sure, about most of it.

[carmine frigate]

im goin to grab that 1 electron and hold on to it while it travles and teleports trough time

[celest musk]

both could spiral each other at the speed of light

[mossy nexus]

In an imaginary universe where there are only 2 'things' each thing is traveling at 99.9 c. each thing is moving in opposite directions. From each 'things' point of view it itself is not moving. how fast does the other thing appear to move?

[fleet tangle]

That's what I said!

[trail wedge]

OK let's make this clear... you have an orbit on a 2D plane... your velocity has an X and Y component..... so the magnitude of your velocity can't exceed c
also moving through space that fast cause gravitational waves that stretch and compress space, modifying the speed of travel of the other thing that's orbiting
2 things cannot orbit each other at c

[fleet tangle]

Does it just move at c but with compressed wavelengths?

Shrug

[trail wedge]

now we have to ask if we're talking about light or a particle.... and then you said it's moving at c so how is that possible if it has mass etc

that's why I say the question is dumb... you aren't dumb for asking it but

it's poorly formed

OK I have a Tau.... what now

[carmine frigate]

grab em when they make a turn... thats more easy i think

[fleet tangle]

[fleet tangle]

I used to have rhubarb.

And gooseberries.

[trail wedge]

in the US we them Kiwis (just so people know what you mean)

[fleet tangle]

You mean the kiwi fruit?

[trail wedge]

unless you mean a different gooseberry than chinese gooseberry

[fleet tangle]

Yeah, I do.

[trail wedge]

yep

[fleet tangle]

They're basically green raspberries.

[trail wedge]

Kiwi fruit was originally called Chinese gooseberry

ahhh ok you're talking about a different plant entirely

[fleet tangle]

They look different to how I remember them.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[broken sigil]

[carmine frigate]

i know those

[trail wedge]

yeh there are also mini Kiwis that look like that called "Hardy Kiwi"

[fleet tangle]

More like "hardly kiwis" ! 😄

[trail wedge]

yeh but you don't need to skin them

[fleet tangle]

I do love kiwis.

You don't need to skin regular kiwis either.

[trail wedge]

maybe if you like eating fuzz you don't

[fleet tangle]

You are not truly a kiwi appreciator unless you've eaten the hairy testicle version.

[trail wedge]

you just skin them... and they're the "normal" type of kiwi here

[fleet tangle]

That's some pretty short hair.

[carmine frigate]

i eat those with a spoon 🙂

[trail wedge]

we have Kiwis, golden Kiwi and hardy Kiwi here

[fleet tangle]

The ones I ate the other week had much longer hair. At least a few mm!

[trail wedge]

me too super easy

[carmine frigate]

yea and not messy

[fleet tangle]

I bet you spit out watermelon seeds too.

[carmine frigate]

unlike some fruits

[trail wedge]

I hate watermelon...(also cucumbers and they're related plants)

[fleet tangle]

I fucking love watermelons. Just any type of melon, really.

[carmine frigate]

i like melon... but they can get kinda messy... and too big to cut in half and eat with a spoon 🙂

[fleet tangle]

I mean, you just cut it up. Doesn't take long!

[trail wedge]

other melons are not related to them watermelon are sweet cucumbers

[deep copper]

i hate anything with a seed

[fleet tangle]

Cucumbers are fantastic too.

Celery is the devil, but cucumber is great.

[trail wedge]

I like cantaloupe, honey dew and other actual melons

[fleet tangle]

"Actual" pfft!

[trail wedge]

yeh I don't like celery either

[carmine frigate]

damn i eat all of that stuff

[trail wedge]

that's the definition of fruit you know

[fleet tangle]

Fun fact about celery. It takes more calories to break down celery than you get from actually eating it.

[deep copper]

i was thinking of lemons when reading melon all this time and was so confused

[trail wedge]

it's good in soup once it cooks down though... I do hate it in all other forms

[trail wedge]

yep

it's also a pretty good water source

[carmine frigate]

i have some other fun facts about celery.. but cant name those 😛

[deep copper]

like inedible seed

[carmine frigate]

celery with cheese sauce is great 🙂

[trail wedge]

why ruin the cheese

[fleet tangle]

You're wrong about physics and you're wrong about celery.

[trail wedge]

or... I'm just right... in general

[fleet tangle]

Nope!

raw herring is great

aww sry

[fleet tangle]

What's great? That cat gif.

Also that's one fucking tubby tabby.

[carmine frigate]

well look what they feed it

dont even make it walk too its bowl

[trail wedge]

so I'm just gonna say it... I don't like fish generally speaking

shellfish are great (crabs, shrimp, etc)
bivalves are great (oysters, clams, etc)

and some fish like Swordfish is good, or it can be prepped in way I'll like it like some sushi is

but generally speaking I hate fish

[fleet tangle]

I've never actually had bivalves.

[trail wedge]

not even like fired clams or something?

[fleet tangle]

Nope.

[carmine frigate]

we have mossels here

[fleet tangle]

I want to try spiny lobster, though. It was in an anime recently and apparently it's the shit.

[carmine frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/moules-frites-mussels-gif-12205469

[trail wedge]

Mussels, and we have them too they're good

[celest musk]

those are gooseberry?

[fleet tangle]

Yes.

I imagine that's where "chinese gooseberries" get their name from - because they look like big gooseberries.

Regular gooseberries are like the size of raspberries.

[carmine frigate]

cant eat mussels if the water is polluted tho... they are like small water filters

[celest musk]

oh nvm, i only saw that you talked about kiwis

so i got confused

[fleet tangle]

🙂

[trail wedge]

Lobster is overrated... I'm from Maryland we steam crabs

[fleet tangle]

Lobster is overrated.

[trail wedge]

yeh I didn't think they meant actual gooseberries at first

[fleet tangle]

It's just fancy crab.

[trail wedge]

with no Old Bay and you boiled it like a monster

[fleet tangle]

Eh?

Softshell crab is delicious, I must say.

[trail wedge]

it's seasoning for steamed crabs

[fleet tangle]

What I meant is, lobster is rarer and pricier than crab in general and not all that different.

[trail wedge]

I mean usually we use a mix of Old Bay and other similar MD based seasonings

[fleet tangle]

Depending on region, of course.

[trail wedge]

I'm saying steamed crabs are a different dish entirely from boiled crabs

they taste different

[fleet tangle]

I wouldn't even know the difference.

I mean, with the taste. Obviously I know the difference between boiling and steaming.

[trail wedge]

yeh cause the entire world boils them except 1 state in the US lol

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/crab-zoom-seafood-oldbay-gif-22416517

[fleet tangle]

Where do you even begin with that crab? Is it still in its shell?

[carmine frigate]

im not a crab

[trail wedge]

open it?

[fleet tangle]

How does one open a crab?

[carmine frigate]

dont eat me

[fleet tangle]

How does one open a human?

[trail wedge]

I'll look up directions for you I learned as a toddler

[fleet tangle]

Lol

[fleet tangle]

That'd be handy actually, if I ever eat crab.

[trail wedge]

you pop the top shell off from the bottom

don't eat the lungs btw... they contain toxins (softshell crabs are ok)

usually with softshell crabs they just fry the whole crab (shell and all)

[fleet tangle]

Yeah. I get softshell from my local chinese place.

[celest musk]

what the... crab?

[fleet tangle]

Or Japanese place. I forget which one it is.

[trail wedge]

crabs molt... so when they get a new shell before it hardens you harvest them as softshells

[fleet tangle]

I'm not sure I'd have it in a burger, though.

I thought they were just a special type of crab with shit shells.

Did not know they molted!

[trail wedge]

that pic was a bit weird... softshell crab sandwiches usually just have lettuce, tomato, and mayo/tarter sauce

[trail wedge]

nah they molt on a moon based cycle

[fleet tangle]

Cool.

[celest musk]

do they leave their old shell when they start to generate a new one?

or how does that work

or does it pop off?

[trail wedge]

yep

lobsters too

actually anything that grows bigger and has an exoskeleton

[fleet tangle]

Spiders molt too, don't they?

[celest musk]

well, they both can get very old from what i know

[trail wedge]

so lots of insects and arthropods (crabs and spiders)

[celest musk]

some crabs up to 30years, and some lobsters up to 50 years apparently

[trail wedge]

I always loved the quest in vanilla WoW that has you kill giant spiders to make "Crab" cakes

[fleet tangle]

There must be a lot of random athropod shells around.

[trail wedge]

yeh they become chalk eventually (same thing bivalve shells)

[fleet tangle]

I think spider is definitely on the list of things I won't eat.

[carmine frigate]

how about snails?

[fleet tangle]

Them either.

Maybe.

[celest musk]

snails aren't worth trying in my experience

they are just hard to chew and taste like a hand full of garden dirt

[fleet tangle]

Snails have no taste from what I understand? They just taste like what they're cooked in.

I think scorpions, crickets nad stuff are probalby off the table too.

[carmine frigate]

i would eat a big spider

[celest musk]

the ones i ate tasted really like dirt, not awful, but neither a taste you would crave for 😄

[fleet tangle]

If the spider were 2m long and you could make spider steaks, sure, why not.

Nothing that looks like a spider.

[trail wedge]

big spider == crab
big scorpion == lobster

[fleet tangle]

Clearly you have not seen big spiders 😄

[trail wedge]

i'm talking based on evolution

[carmine frigate]

ever since i watched jurrasic park and they said some dinosaurs are like cows i want too eat some 🙂

[celest musk]

is crab "meat" kind of like shrimp?

never had crab

but i imagine it like shrimp somehow

[fleet tangle]

It's like lobster.

[trail wedge]

shrimp are also shellfish... they taste similar to crabs

[celest musk]

neither had lobster 😄

[fleet tangle]

If you've ever had "crabsticks" (or "seafood sticks" as they call them now) they taste mostly like crab.

[celest musk]

ok, so "solid" white meat

nothing jelly

[fleet tangle]

They're called seafood sticks because they aren't actually made of crab.

[carmine frigate]

caviar is kinda nice... its super salty

not really worth the price if u ask me tho

[trail wedge]

eww crabstick tastes super fake

[fleet tangle]

Never said it was good crab D:

(and it's because it is fake)

[carmine frigate]

like if you put a lot of salt on a tomato it comes pretty close to caviar

[fleet tangle]

I'm not really up for eating fish eggs, tbh.

I'd rather eat the fish.

[trail wedge]

that's what crab meat looks like

[fleet tangle]

Looks like chicken.

[carmine frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-yoda-gif-19101147

[trail wedge]

kinda if you mean cooked chicken

[celest musk]

yea looks like a mix of shrimp and chicken 😄

so if i put both in a blender... maybe?

[fleet tangle]

Kinda like uncooked chicken, too.

Well, half and half.

[trail wedge]

weird what are those 3 things they say Old Bay is for seasoning

[celest musk]

maybe thats the secret recipe of the crabsticks you talked about

[fleet tangle]

What does old bay taste of?

[trail wedge]

paprika and stuff

[celest musk]

we don't talk about that here^

[fleet tangle]

Seafood sticks are made of ground up fish waste, basically.

[carmine frigate]

i got some of that coffee that got pooped out by a monkey... like a package with "clean" beans and a turd with the beans sticking out....

i never got the courage to try it

[fleet tangle]

Isn't it pooped out by cats?

[carmine frigate]

monkey i think... i got it as a present

[celest musk]

you have weird friends

[fleet tangle]

It has celery in it. It needs to die.

[celest musk]

if they kinda gift you poop

[carmine frigate]

i got it from my sister

[fleet tangle]

Kopi luwak is a coffee that consists of partially digested coffee cherries, which have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). It is also called civet coffee.

Civet = cat

[carmine frigate]

ahh i think its that1

i could check... i still have it.

[celest musk]

yea but they kind of have some monkey likeness

[trail wedge]

That seasoning is perfection I won't have you say otherwise

[fleet tangle]

CELERY!

[carmine frigate]

next time she is here i might make her a cup.... jokes on her

[trail wedge]

I hate celery, but that seasoning rocks (also celery seed isn't the same thing lol)

[fleet tangle]

😛

Celery is celery. BURN IT.

Burn it, perhaps, in a pot with some crabs.

[trail wedge]

no you steam it... on crabs

[fleet tangle]

😄

[trail wedge]

the bottom part of the steamer has water, vinegar, and beer in it

the seasoning goes on top of the crabs and it get on your hands when you eat them to cover the meat as you pick it

[fleet tangle]

My brother used to use beer in cooking. Pretty sure he did it to look cool and it's always made me think it's for muppets.

[carmine frigate]

you can make pancakes with beer if you dont have milk

[trail wedge]

the beer is essential... you can taste it when you eat them at a restaurant and they steam with plain water

[carmine frigate]

i eat celery raw.. nothing on there no problem

[trail wedge]

ewww celery tea

[fleet tangle]

Does it taste like beer? Because I don't like beer.

[trail wedge]

nope

and I'm also not big on beer/alcohol

[fleet tangle]

I had barley tea recently. It wasn't bad.

[carmine frigate]

well its not like i think its geat.. its sorta nice to chew on nice structure

[fleet tangle]

The chewing is the worst part.

It's all stringy and horrible.

How does one chew a type of water

?

[carmine frigate]

freeze it

[trail wedge]

you mean it has an overpowering "green" flavor and has horrible strands.... right?

[fleet tangle]

It's basically made of fibrous plant strings and it's bad.

[trail wedge]

you celery peeps... just go eat grass

[carmine frigate]

its more an im bored at the table and put this in my mouth

[fleet tangle]

Lol.

[carmine frigate]

😛

[fleet tangle]

I was going to go the other way.

[trail wedge]

he or she would work

[fleet tangle]

Much like ownintator would have done in my comment.

[trail wedge]

same joke

[trail wedge]

that's what he/she/they said....

there now you're all unhappy

[carmine frigate]

my sex robot not included?

[trail wedge]

that would be rude... nobody is asking to be called "it"

[fleet tangle]

You obviously haven't met the right woman.

[trail wedge]

I spend all my time on the internet... the neutral option is "them" not "it" lol

[fleet tangle]

"It" is definitely not the neutral option. It's the dehumanising option.

[carmine frigate]

aint we all it?

[trail wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-frog-panic-frantic-yay-gif-16814992

we're all unhappy now

[fleet tangle]

I was unhappy to start with, so doesn't matter here! 😂

[deep copper]

i got happy instead

[mossy nexus]

What did the other 6 dwarfs have to say about that?

[deep copper]

omg i got that reference!!!!

[steel summit]

Anyone else notice the rise of cat avatars on this discord server and a drop in anime ones or is that just me?

[trail wedge]

just you I think

[fleet tangle]

I don't really even look at avatars much. Except for @mossy nexus - the face looks really horrible when it's small.

[mossy nexus]

Looks really horrible live sized too 😄

[foggy path]

why would anyone even use the UI mode in discord that shows people's profile pictures?

compact mode is much better

[regal pecan]

It helps the anime images scroll off the page faster.

[foggy path]

I wonder how quickly would discord start throttling me if I made a script that switched my profile picture after every message

lol

[trail wedge]

I started out thinking that but I changed my mind

[foggy path]

if anything I'd like for it to be more compact

lol

I'm used to irssi

[fleet tangle]

I like the pretty pictures? 😦

I also like that it doesn't repeat names if we type multiple lines.

On compact mode it does.

[foggy path]

it was a sort of rhetoric joke question tbh

:D

[fleet tangle]

I know, but still.

[cursive crypt]

Choomz, is the new CP2077 anime nice to watch?

[deep glen]

saw first two episodes, i'll prolly finish it

[fleet tangle]

It's on Netflix isn't it?

Doesn't work on my damn phone.

[timber viper]

Its really cool

I'm about to finish

last 2 eps

[cursive crypt]

huh, so the whole season is out?

[timber viper]

yep

10 eps

just finished actually

was a pretty good watch

[fleet tangle]

Better or worse than Arcane? (the LoL thing)

[timber viper]

hmm

I guess Arcane was a little bit better but not a fair comparision

I didnt finish Arcane but it's story development and character progression was way more rich

[fleet tangle]

Why isn't it fair?

[timber viper]

I think they focus on different things, CP tried to showcase a cyberpunk 2077 which enforces some limitations on how story develops

Meanwhile Arcane has more richness in the background of LoL universe

[fleet tangle]

They could have some up with stuff like that for cp2077.

[timber viper]

Yeah, sadly they quite failed to make factions and Night City more interesting imo

[fleet tangle]

It's like saying, "The mmo I just released doesn't have all the features it should because we're new... but still play us instead of wow and ff."

[carmine frigate]

i couldnt figure out who was mid and who was jungle... also they didnt wish cancer on eachother... it was all verry far away from the game

So what do we think of the GTA 6 gameplay leaks?

1h long leak 😄

Yea, they are all over youtube

Looks to be Vice City again

[cursive crypt]

Gotta try one day this game 🤔

[dusky kettle]

GTA?

[cursive crypt]

y

[dusky kettle]

Nowadays I prefer RDR2 just because it's much better gunplay 😄

I hope they bring that to GTA 6. People bleed out etc

[cursive crypt]

When they will release it? Might wait.

[dusky kettle]

No clue. It was just a leak today 😄

[cursive crypt]

Ok, hope I will still have a PC 'till then.

I mean, it was not sold for retirement.

[cursive crypt]

Interesting, reached end game and I have to choose: alliance with A, alliance with B or kill both.
I suddenly lost interest to see any of these ends.

Uninstalled. There we go with 20h+ investment.

[dusky kettle]

Which game?

[unborn lotus]

what game was that?

[cursive crypt]

Expeditions: Viking

[unborn lotus]

shoulda just played pathfinder kingmaker 😆

[cursive crypt]

Hmm... yeah, I remember reaching to somewhere. Then holidays and I was... you know, you are so far and there are so many things going on you kinda reluctant to start over.

[broken sigil]

So just finished frozen wilds DLC for HZD, it might be one of the rare DLCs that's as good as the base game

[cursive crypt]

Wasn't Western World or something the new thing over there?

Ah, no Forbidden West, lol - I'm now watching Western World (a tv show)

[unborn lotus]

WestWorld? 😆

[cursive crypt]

I duno, something west something. A regex

wtf, you were right

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475784/

I saw there was a a movie from 70s, looks they based these series on it.

End of 1st season, someone told me 2nd season is so-so and 3rd is meh

[unborn lotus]

that doesn't look like anything to me

😆

yeah, could not watch 2nd season

but you know what is not bad at all? rings of power

[cursive crypt]

I intent to, due to the few "UPs" maybe glance over the downs.

Why all late seasons are so screwed.

Is like a law in such shows.

[broken sigil]

Day 20 of hoping for a PC release soonish 🤞 🥲

[cursive crypt]

uuuh, are you talking about HZD?

It is Forbidden West.

Forbidden for PC users.

[tulip orbit]

not for PC users, its forbidden

[foggy path]

Reason number 1068 why I don't trust Unreal's undo

UMG editor did something stupid, press undo... get corrupted garbage. Thanks UE

[cursive crypt]

Nice

[foggy path]

Sometimes you can revert by not saving and just reloading the asset

But half of the time the behavior of "does this cause corruption" seems to vary based on whether you did save it before or not...

aaa

:D

[broken sigil]

Or to 50% to make it more interesting

I don't want my ensures to fire reliably, I like some random chances

[deep copper]

undo-s are hard to do i guess, i ran into a few more tools that had bugs on undo

[nova swallow]

I'm looking around for UI inspiration, you guys got any recommendations on games with great UI? Frostpunk is the only game I can think of at a the of my head but I don't play a huge variety of games either

[unborn lotus]

I really liked the deadspace UI

[nova swallow]

I'll check it out, I just wanna "study" similarities and figure out what makes them good. I think Frostpunks UI is so minimalistic while still feeling very alive with all their subtle animations

[foggy path]

Hard to say, if it's well architected it shouldn't be, because you should be treating each action as a discrete command of sorts which can be applied or reverted

At work we have a real lazy undo system... it just diffs what the data structure looked like and saves the diffs so they can be applied or removed :P Does the job

[ivory lodge]

Who wants to talk shit while I manually copy FBXs from one project to another.

?

[turbid spindle]

@sand oxide, :8ball: Signs point to yes.

[ivory lodge]

@sand oxideThere are many. I'm using the Character Interaction system and I'm importing all my Close Combat Animations to use on an ALS skeleton. Migrating is much slower and I still haven't figured out how to use the new retargeting stuff.

So FBXes it is....

I really wish they left the old style of retargeting so I could use both.

[ivory lodge]

I'm already migrated. And it took me a while.

I've done so much work and I still don't have a game. I have a wonderful system based on GAS, ALS4 and BallisticFX using CI assets. But no game yet. I wish I had experienced people who could help me plan it out. But that would require a team and I don't have money.

For instance, I want my character to plan tactically and drink the enemy's blood in a seemless way. Not just stand there and get shot.

Anyway... animations retargeted. Hooking up my melee stuff to them.

[fleet tangle]

You can always ask on this server.

There's no rule that you can't ask game design questions.

But just don't make them too involved, nobody is gonna help that much for free.

But there will definitely people who offer tidbits of advice and suggestions.

Yeh dummy just concentrate

[soft night]

!8ball does phoneboots belong to matrix?

[turbid spindle]

@soft night, :8ball: As I see it, yes.

[trail wedge]

phoneboot

[real flint]

Give it back

[real flint]

I need to ask you something important

[trail wedge]

MJ is on it

[real flint]

Have you gotten your hands on the ue Complete Animals Pack?

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/the-matrix-carrie-anne-moss-trinity-telephone-stop-gif-4173001

[trail wedge]

was it a free pack?

[real flint]

Sure why not

[trail wedge]

well if it was ever free, maybe... if not no

[real flint]

Everything is free somewhere

[trail wedge]

I mean on the launcher

fellow kaizoku

[real flint]

Just thought you might have had a way to get the anims to work with the blooprints.
Actually have the meshes work together etc.
Might just be overlooking something but its thrown me into a spot of project decay.

[trail wedge]

Nah I'm a c++ programmer mostly and I don't do much editor stuff

also I never buy anything

[cursive crypt]

amen

[real flint]

Try before you buy

[trail wedge]

or pirate anything software-wise since I was like 10

[cursive crypt]

Are you eleven?

[trail wedge]

37

[real flint]

Heh

[cursive crypt]

Still a kid

[trail wedge]

yep

[cursive crypt]

Nice.

[real flint]

Child actor components

[trail wedge]

well if you plan on living forever 37 is pretty young

[cursive crypt]

How you intend to loop life?

[trail wedge]

eww loops

no

[cursive crypt]

goto?

[real flint]

20andback

[trail wedge]

just the normal way.... ride the wave of medical advances I think we've reached critical mass on that front

[cursive crypt]

I hope Earth players invested in that Research tree enough.

[trail wedge]

you just need to ensure you and the people you care about have the resources to afford it currently imo

AI-generated drugs are gonna speed this up so much

[cursive crypt]

Is that like ai-art?

[trail wedge]

here's your phoneboot

[real flint]

Gorgeous

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/bill-and-ted-dude-party-on-be-excellent-movies-gif-16100137

[trail wedge]

it's a real thing... we can now test things without actually making them in a lot of cases

[trail wedge]

yeh but you wrote phoneboot

all sorts of treatments we never would have thought of will be possible soon

also 3dprinted organs made from stem cells are currently possible

[cursive crypt]

These tests would require quite complex simulator working mostly on wishful thinking.
Bu as long it is 5 years practical I guess is fine 🤑

[deep copper]

sorry i don't really like pizza ^^;

[soft night]

the manny was thinking it as phonebooth

[real flint]

Thats some kimd of tardis. Not a phoneboot

[trail wedge]

I'm saying aging will be solved before I need to worry about it and if you're younger than me you'll get that too.... you just need to work on getting money imo

[cursive crypt]

I'm older, but this matters not. I'm fine with the idea of having this in your life, crossing fingers.

[real flint]

Youre playing cyberpunk 2077

[cursive crypt]

Got some balancing and gameplay issues. Story & world are good tho.

[soft night]

[trail wedge]

I mean it's better than not being motivated about living imo

some people want to die everyday

[real flint]

Just because of other people

[cursive crypt]

Will is important.

[real flint]

I love Will

[trail wedge]

they'll be reversing age past ~40 in 10 years I think

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, has some nice ideas for game design.

[deep copper]

i can assist and make it slightly painless!

Dont do they need to fix the cancer bug 1st tho? Is part of the aging.

[trail wedge]

that's next patch

[deep copper]

pfist*?

[trail wedge]

seriously though cancer will be first

[cursive crypt]

Immortal cancers.

[real flint]

Crimes Of The Future eh

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/doctorwho-tardis-reigndeer-christmas-snow-gif-7343002

[trail wedge]

curing cancers will be the pilot programs for these new AI generated treatments imo

[real flint]

Cancer is.... Openware

[trail wedge]

cancer is a category

[deep copper]

Cancer is crab 🦀

[cursive crypt]

GPUs will save the world

[stiff crystal]

awww missed the bunnies

[trail wedge]

In Maryland we put crabs in a pot and steam 'em 😛

[stiff crystal]

would have had bunch of AI generated ones

[deep copper]

it's okay, you can always be the bunny here

[cursive crypt]

Are you vegan?

[thorny dock]

I use all the cuda cores of my rtx2080ti to help purify the toxins of my blood, it's a great way to get into deep learning

[stiff crystal]

no

[deep copper]

that's kinda hot

[cursive crypt]

Do not the bunnies

[trail wedge]

The crabs prolly think so...

[stiff crystal]

I had so many bunnies as a kid

they are kinda dummies tbh

but they are adorable

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/group-of-reindeer-viralhog-snow-reindeers-gif-19585968

[real flint]

Kinda dogs are that

[stiff crystal]

me and my sis actually saved on that was being fed for that purpose 👀

[trail wedge]

reindeer?

[deep copper]

i saw a yt short of a giant reindeer, it had a different name

it was bigger than a car

[trail wedge]

a moose or an elk?

[deep copper]

wait both sound familiar...

[deep copper]

probably one of those

[trail wedge]

a caribou?

[stiff crystal]

should prob put this in ai spam channel tho

[deep copper]

nope, doesn't sound familiar

[stiff crystal]

don't ask what the extra tail is

[real flint]

Its science

[trail wedge]

I thought it was a fuzzy wing

[fleet tangle]

Fluffy wings.

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/snacking-viralhog-eating-hungry-mule-deer-gif-16115375

[fleet tangle]

Also, where are its arms?

[stiff crystal]

without knowing any better, you must be right

[deep copper]

arm, leg, leg, tail

[real flint]

Why is it INSIDE

[trail wedge]

talk to the snakes about that

[stiff crystal]

pet probably

[deep copper]

how does it even walk in tree areas with those horns

[stiff crystal]

don't you have reindeers as pets there?

[real flint]

No, no we do not

[trail wedge]

that just looks like a regular deer to me

[deep copper]

yeah it's kinda small

[trail wedge]

like a Whitetail Deer

[real flint]

Some. Stag
