Elon Musk's neuralink is already achieving this to some degree

[fluid bloom]

is it though?

[oblique cloak]

with billions of dollars tho.

[timber viper]

Its not even close, and it require more gadgets compared to what a vaccine can

Remember how many experts criticised what Elon shown that day, its still primitive af

[broken sigil]

In a vaccine there isn't enough raw material to even form circuitry required to power itself, transmit or receive anything
It just doesn't work like that

[snow pawn]

It will be years to reverse engineer and map out brain neuron activity

[fluid bloom]

also this happens with normal flu and even being hung over

covid is just more severe

if you go running while hung over or drunk you're risking a myocarditis

same goes with flu

or any other infection

[timber viper]

vaccines are political in a sense and it would not be really possible to hide something from the authorities funding you.. like whole EU or USA government plus other investors

and ofc tons of other healthcare companies analyzing the vaccine you created etc

[broken sigil]

The secrets would spill out very quickly
Global governments were never that united and they sure won't be over a vaccine to keep a secret

[timber viper]

damn this convo made me remember how vaccine hurt my arm back then 😢

[snow pawn]

The top pharmacies have leverage over the FDA and have ties in the legal system. They conduct the process themselves.

[timber viper]

yeah but every country go through tons of process to buy vaccines, for example there was a vaccine didnt work at all and none of the EU brought it

cant remember its name, it was starting with A i guess

astrazenaca or something

[unborn lotus]

alongside the 15+ vaccine soldiers get. Damn @snow pawn, they really want to kill soldiers. are they also bottom feeders?

[broken sigil]

And here a vaccine that was known to cause blood cloth problems in some people was complete banned so I very much trust the system

[snow pawn]

Cannon fodder.

[unborn lotus]

in what war, on what frontline? 😂

[timber viper]

USA spends a lot money to train those soldiers

especially to high ranking ones, that doing missions globally

they cant be cannon fodder at all

[unborn lotus]

and they're protecting them with vaccinations to common diseases as well as covid

[oblique cloak]

is this a fact? I feel like 98% are still in the USA

[timber viper]

i know the ones in the Turkiye's NATO base vaccinated 😄

[snow pawn]

The military industry is quite a business, they make trillions on the back of the government.

[unborn lotus]

Same here, and we're neighbours with Ukraine 😅

[timber viper]

which country?

[unborn lotus]

Romania

[snow pawn]

[timber viper]

yeah, as you can see there are many dynamics in the world to make something possible

from industry complex to random civil activists

[snow pawn]

Don't pretend regular soldiers are getting the good end of it. It's an idealistic illusion.

[timber viper]

Unless you're after a very shady business I can pretty much confirm USA cares about even a simple soldier

if you cant make people trust army you can make people join your army

[regal pecan]

A. The vaccine turns you into a wireless device.
B. The vaccine kills you.
C. The vaccine turns your corpse into a wireless device, that we bury into the ground where wireless signals won't penetrate, because... uh... the squirrels?

[unborn lotus]

you gotta draft them unwillingly like Putin does 😅

[snow pawn]

The military is good, as you can be enrolled in free education and get paid to do it. Better then running in debt in college.

[unborn lotus]

I thought we would all be dead in 2 years...wait..date has passed already 😂

[regal pecan]

My favorite part is when you don't have to call it a draft because mandatory service means everyone is technically a reservist.

[timber viper]

being a wireless device could be fun

imagine opening your PC without touching power button

https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/

I bought this one... trying to learn more c++, instead of blueprints

Has anyone here followed this course ?

[oblique cloak]

TBH i could care less about c++ at this point. I nanited my level, used cine settings and max post processs. still got 240 fps so blueprint is stable for me.

[broken sigil]

Not familiar with that course but this is a great resource for learning C++ in general https://www.learncpp.com

[snow pawn]

Oh, I've known this source. I never made an entire c++ based project in UE, always been into blueprints for simplicity.

[oblique cloak]

holy, online college without a teacher lol

[snow pawn]

https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/API/

I have to get familiar with the API

[timber viper]

NO

[oblique cloak]

imagine someone created a site like that where professors get notification's when people ask questions, for a small fee

[timber viper]

#ue5-general message

read 4 links one by one

and then refund

gamedev.tv is so bad its a meme in #cpp channel

[snow pawn]

Damn, must have been on a massive discount.

[timber viper]

there is no discount, its fake

[oblique cloak]

I don't follow tutorials. I keep trying till it compiles.

i will sit here and watch a full movie trying 900+ things.

not even kidding lol

[timber viper]

i just ask laura, she knows everything anyway

[oblique cloak]

heh

I learned c++ thru blueprints, if anyone was wondering.

same code, written the same way in different forms.

[snow pawn]

I use https://beta.character.ai/, the programmer AI answers all your questions and even writes code for you if you explain what it needs to be doing.

[timber viper]

even that AI accepts Laura is a c++ god btw

[oblique cloak]

AWESOME. STOP THE BLOATWARE

like 10 pages lol

[snow pawn]

Awesome, but i'll stick to Brave browser

Nothing in the world is going to convince me to use edge.

[oblique cloak]

Edge sucks. I'm just used to it.

kind of like iphone users.

[topaz depot]

edge is great imo

there isn't much difference between browsers

and it's fairly similar to chrome, both based on chromium

[oblique cloak]

i have had a lot of browser games freeze or load in slomo, a lot with edge.

[topaz depot]

who plays browser games haha

[broken sigil]

I just use Opera 🍿

[oblique cloak]

I mean i love some of the classics i play 😦

some of these point click mmorpgs are amazing

[snow pawn]

I have had problems with it crashing, Brave browser supports chrome plugins, blocks adds and tracking cookies out of the box. Fast and practical. Never going back.

[snow pawn]

Like Runescape ?

[topaz depot]

edge also supports chrome extensions and blocks tracking

[broken sigil]

I'm in shock no one had anything negative to say about opera

[topaz depot]

honestly? I just dislike the logo and stuff

of opera

[broken sigil]

Fair

[snow pawn]

Can't complain, the interface looked nice, after a once in a lifetime tryout session.

Opera looked fancy for it's time

[timber viper]

i was about to

but then I remembered I use it too

[broken sigil]

Lol

[snow pawn]

I read it's CPU hungry, how accurate is that ?

My Brave browser doesn't even make it in the top 10

[regal pecan]

It's now based on chromium, just like Edge. I can't even count the number of browsers that aren't based on chromium.

[snow pawn]

Brave likewise runs on the open-source Chromium Web core

[quasi mantle]

Nowadays I use Firefox and it's buttery smooth

It's like rejoicing old friend

Granted, I'm a heavy ad blocker

[regal pecan]

yay firefox
waiting for the other shoe to drop and learn they dine on puppies or something

can't have anything good this decade

[quasi mantle]

Chrome banned some adblocking addons, and dev mode installs kept nagging (it gets worse on Edge)

[regal pecan]

It's almost beautiful how Google dominated the browser ecosystem and then used it to assert control over how ads are displayed.

[primal summit]

I used to use opera, but their old mobile implementation made me switch

[snow pawn]

Try Brave browser, it comes native. I always had Firefox crashing at some point, Brave browser is butter smooth and never crashed.

You won't have to install all the memory eating plugins

Brave > Firefox

[quasi mantle]

I was a Brave user btw

[snow pawn]

I used Firefox for over at least 12 years

But Brave.... is way more stable and runs with less resources out of the box

[quasi mantle]

I found Firefox to be less resource intensive than Chromium and derivatives

[snow pawn]

Does Firefox not inject landpages ?

[quasi mantle]

Also no annoying Tip buttons all over

[snow pawn]

Same... I use Brave only for the performance... it has it's use case

Your advice is probably out of my league

Waterfox came 4 years before Brave

[snow pawn]

Not anymore

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-stick-hit-man-getting-gif-25806535

[fleet tangle]

I have a 2tb ssd. Never going back.

[broken sigil]

2tb sata ssd is about twice (around 240$ in total) as expensive as a 2tb HDD here which isn't bad at all

Elsewhere it's probably cheaper consider everything is overpriced here

That's pretty unproductive execution of code, cache hoarding or memory leaks.

I got an m.2 main and alt slot 500 gig for C and 4 tb for data, should be way cheaper now

I had a really good bot for World of warcraft, I wrote the navigation logic, somehow the longer it ran the more cache memory was used by navmeshing.

[craggy ruin]

Anyone here making a metroidvania?

[tulip orbit]

I tried once, gave up 🙂

[craggy ruin]

What was the reason?

[tulip orbit]

probably content ideas, level design, that sort of thing. my usual reasons for abandoning projects

[craggy ruin]

Are you a programmer or an artist?

[tulip orbit]

more a programmer than artist, but I'm not great at either 😄

just a solo hobbyist

[craggy ruin]

Oh alright

Do you know how to program a combat system?

[tulip orbit]

the absolute basics, but have never made anything fun

[craggy ruin]

Well I'm thinking of starting making a metroidvania and I have the main concept already

[tulip orbit]

I made a sword slash anim for my current project the other day, I can technically deal damage, but no enemies or anything yet

[craggy ruin]

I'm overwhelmed when I think about programming the combat system and the AI so I'm not sure if I can finish a playable demo

[tulip orbit]

Yeah theres a lot of variables that all have to come together 😦 Wish I could help, but all I can suggest is looking for a decent YT tutorial

[craggy ruin]

I found one by Ryan Laley but I think it's a bit too complex for a metroidvania

[tulip orbit]

could give pointers in the correct direction atleast

[craggy ruin]

Do you think enemies have to cancel their attack if they get hit?

[tulip orbit]

have to? no.. but interrupting enemy attacks is a good tactic a lot of games have. Maybe not with a quick attack, but a heavy attack

[craggy ruin]

Good idea

But cant the player just spam that attack?

[tulip orbit]

usually heavy attacks are slower right? harder to spam.. or have cooldowns? Also heavy attacks tend to leave the player vulnerable

[craggy ruin]

Yeah

I guess the AI also has to cancel the player's attack

[tulip orbit]

I dont play a lot of games with combat like this, but.. I think sometimes its not that the players attack gets cancelled, its just that you cant block, or even move, when doing a heavy attack

depending on the game

[craggy ruin]

Yeah I think it also matters what pacing I want the game to have

[tulip orbit]

neither way is wrong, just a design choice to be made

[craggy ruin]

True and I can always change it

I hope

[tulip orbit]

changeable yeah, just maybe more work later depending on how its setup

I think I was working on my inventory system, and possibly changing how the backend data is store. Changeable, but a lot of work 😐

I tried git/github but it flew over my head higher than the ISS

quick question, my game will have melee weapons(maybe ranged at some point), and then also axes for chopping trees, pickaxes for mining. Should I lump the axes/picks under "Weapons"? and also give them the ability to damage enemies?

[primal summit]

no, yes

[tulip orbit]

I ask cause the code backend/setup of them is functionally pretty much the same. just that the axe sends a BP interface message to damage tree

Hello

Hola

[slate drift]

Where's my froggy wizzy brother at

[celest musk]

question to the good english speakers... is there another term/grammar for "x has 10 following actors" vs. "x is following 10 actors"

i wonder because i'm about to name my function getFollowingActors() but i feel like that's not quite clear

[primal summit]

those are completely different statements

[celest musk]

indeed

one is active while the other is passive

[primal summit]

following would, to me imply those which are following it while followed would imply those it follows

[celest musk]

or would it be getFollowingActors() (passive) vs. getFollowActors() (active)

it's more about the function naming, without raising confusion

good point, i'll just explain it in the description, thanks

[tulip orbit]

name it DwayneJohnson()

for no reason in particular

DwayneJohnson(float Rock)

[carmine frigate]

GetAllActors() also gets em

but also not following actors

but you could also have an array that has all following actors and u can just use the array

[slate drift]

That includes Actresses?

[celest musk]

oh boy...

don't start this, or it will happen

since they removed master/slave and black/whitelist, this is the next big thing

but you can define following as: "immediately following in time or order" and pursuing as "going or proceeding or coming after in the same direction"

Brazil is on fire

One of the studios I've worked on before released a demo of their game, if anyone interested in horror games: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1987400/Death_Relives/

[tulip orbit]

so proud

[quasi mantle]

I started to like Source engine subtitles now, but I'm kinda surprised the lack of option for subtitling solution for Unreal besides the crappy built in ones 🤔

[proud jay]

ok but why is their demo 7.3GB

[timber viper]

no idea, probably texture size

[proud jay]

I can imagine the c if (bDemo) { return; }
statements in code

why does windows not let me put the day first in the calendar wtf

[inland oriole]

Because you need to change it somewhere else.

I had this issue like a few days ago as well xD

[proud jay]

where is it changed if not in date & time format

and why did they change it in the first place

[inland oriole]

I think it was based on the display language?

[proud jay]

that is like the dumbest thing ever

[inland oriole]

Lets display the time in microseconds as the actual number format.

Who needs brains when you have computers

[proud jay]

not even in control panel can I fix it

wtf Bill Gates

[inland oriole]

Time to fork Linux 😄

Ok, I'll be 500000 to late though.

[proud jay]

internet says the format is tied to region, which is already fucking dumb

but my region is on belgium

[primal summit]

4-5-2017 best

[proud jay]

and we literally only use one format everywhere

[proud jay]

the best thing is that they use an example where both the day and month number are < 12

[primal summit]

yep...

2-29-2021's a better example date

[inland oriole]

It's called dd/mm/yyyy ❤️

[primal summit]

because it didn't occur

mm-dd-yyyy

[proud jay]

ok so I changed the regional format to English(Belgium) and now it shows correctly

[primal summit]

/ is evil, - is better

[inland oriole]

You as CEO of Microsoft surely can invent a better system 😄

[proud jay]

wtf was it on before

"recommended"

[primal summit]

because you can embed - in filenames, not /

[inland oriole]

That was fast. Bonus points for you.

[proud jay]

I can live with year-month-day, but month-day-year is just going too far

[inland oriole]

What if I want my filenames to be named a time though? 🤔

[primal summit]

So Adam was Vin Diesel?

[zinc matrix]

apparently

[fleet tangle]

Also why is Adam shaved?

He'd have long hair and a beard.

[proud jay]

hair is a challenge in a historical context, no indicators of it, since it decays so fast

[fleet tangle]

So?

just give him dark hair and be done with it.

[proud jay]

also, it's a joke

[deep glen]

both are jokes XD

[proud jay]

they are

[deep glen]

(as in the tweet, no clue about the schools)

[proud jay]

but they didn't actually do any of these "reconstructions"

[carmine frigate]

the schools? 🙂

[fleet tangle]

Also we're talking about "Adam" so the whole idea of doing a reconstruction is pretty ridiculous anyway.

[deep glen]

princeton/hardvard

i did a system where a face did random blinks...

but i didnt see the blinks... so i thought mayB it blinks when i blink

ship it

[left granite]

or maybe it was blinking faster than the speed of light ?

[proud jay]

the first of the special ones

[timber viper]

I hope you liked it

[proud jay]

eh

it was ok

not really my type of game either though

[timber viper]

I didn't work much on it but I still made important things for them

[proud jay]

some strange things in the game

and couldn't even turn off vsync or change resolution 😭

also strange that the investigate body is an objective, but nothing happens with it, would make more sense to not force the player to look at it then but make it more natural, now felt forced with no reason

and then when you hide in that room, the hiding animation is moving at like 200km/h

fastest hider in the west

the adrenaline mechanic is also kinda strange

how do you force your heartrate

and the text was not very clear to me

and when you pick up a note all sounds stops, very immersion breaking

and then you open a note with e, but have to press escape to close it, strange choices

[timber viper]

yeah there are many things like that, hoping they will fix it.. since it's babysteps of the Turkish game industry I expect some quirks like that 😄

pretty cool feedbacks btw, I'll note those

[proud jay]

also there is this red dot that was randomly on the screen, only later realized that it is pointing to the objective

but I was facing completely the other side so very confusing

the fixing gears with a hammer was pretty funny though

and then at a certain point, you pick up the seed

and the main character is like "quickly hide" and hides automatically

but nothing happens

I guess they blocked the big guy for the demo, but that was very strange

also you pick up a sacrificial cloak, but idk what it is supposed to do at all, guess it's not used in the demo, but why is it there then

also small artistic note, you can hide behind these strange curtains in that dining hall

but the texture is just cut in two, and it has like floating pieces of curtain because of that bad cut

last remark, I have a feeling they're trying to overuse quick time event stuff, for things that don't make sense for it at all

[timber viper]

what do you think about lighting?

[proud jay]

ok one more, holding e to save is kinda weird, make it a one press thing

the atmosphere was pretty good I think

quite dark though

I turned it up to max brightness lol

[timber viper]

did any lightshafts or fog etc. look weird?

[proud jay]

not really

only that curtain was weird

and also, some random cables coming out of the ceiling, they seem intentional, but I've never seen that irl and don't see why anyone would install something like that

[timber viper]

i guess main problem is inconsistency between character's motivation and world events etc

[proud jay]

atmosphere was good, design could use some work

yeah, but idk any of that, nothing's explained in the demo

[timber viper]

like you do something, but it all happens suddenly and without any solid backstory

[proud jay]

but I assume in final game that would make more sense

or is this like the legit start of the final game

cause then it is indeed very strange

[timber viper]

it's where game going to begin on the final version too 😄

[proud jay]

hmm

[timber viper]

unless they did radical changes after I left

[proud jay]

that's quite wild

[timber viper]

but yeah I agree there is no plot about wtf is going on and you just roam around doing quests

[proud jay]

also because the objective mentions something like, escape from tiped xecac or whatever

[thin aspen]

I know who to come to when i need constructive feedback

[proud jay]

and I have no clue who that is at that point

[timber viper]

really tbh, i bet Dieter's feedback is* going to be best among all for them 😄

[timber viper]

Xipe totec, that creature with 200km/h speed 😄

[proud jay]

I guess they wanna go for the idea that you wake up in some basement and have to escape

but the character itself is really not reflecting that at this point

[thin aspen]

Most of the people I know would be like "oh wow much gud vary game keep going" And that's not what I'm looking for 🤣

[proud jay]

small thing that doesn't "add" anything, but would be fun in the game just for immersion is allowing interaction with things that don't do anything

like there was a lever on the wall, would be nice if you could pull it, even if it does nothign

[timber viper]

hmm. totally

[proud jay]

but yeah, biggest missing thing would be lore stuff

but if it's something to be discovered throughout the game, make it so the main character makes it clear that he also has no idea what is happening

because now I feel like this dude is just casually strolling through all of this, kinda knows what he is doing, but I don't have a clue myself

ok that's all I have to say I think

[timber viper]

appreciated

now I know who to give free demo key when I release my game 😂

[thin aspen]

Kept you waiting huh

[proud jay]

why are you on special thanks part btw

and not like programming or something?

just because you only worked on it for a short while?

[timber viper]

Do you remember someone told about 2 Turkish seniors on #cpp

like how they were bad etc

[proud jay]

uhu

the ones that didn't want to use a new engine version

[timber viper]

I was in a same situation with different people, also wasnt happy with the pay, but then they got fired and I stayed for one more month, created some nice things and most importantly helped them to hire "actual" seniors

without me they would continue with same archetype of "seniors" + that 2 months of AI work I did for them

[thin aspen]

Helping people hire seniors and you not being a senior is crazy

[timber viper]

I'm not a senior dev yet

[proud jay]

still weird to not be put under programmers then though if you did programming on it

special thanks is like for people who helped inpire or motivate you or things like that

but whatever

not that you probably care that much about it :p

[timber viper]

yeah, doesnt matter at all 😄

[thin aspen]

I know, but still, that you know what makes a better senior than someone who is being paid to find those people is absolutely insane.

[timber viper]

It's a small studio with small budget, they didnt have HR or something. creative director wasnt a programmer too so he was relying on people's advices

[proud jay]

I know the feeling

at my last job the CEO did the hiring

he did it alone for a while, but some fucking garbage ass people came from that

at some point we just said, dude, let us do the hiring instead

[timber viper]

lol i remember that unity lead you mentioned

[proud jay]

he still works there 🙃 or well in a "sister" studio, since the one I worked for is bankrupt

[timber viper]

how is that CEO still able to lead companies...

[thin aspen]

Reminder that a major automobile maker has their internal financial programs written in VB

Thus it doesn't surprise me to hear all of this

[proud jay]

well originally he founded a studio, together with investors, then after a few years, he made his own without them, to not have to pay them. But still billed the other studio for "consulting". Then his own studio went bankrupt.

[thin aspen]

Sounds extremely USAian

[proud jay]

now he is somehow still in lead of the one with the investors, but they told him he can't make any decisions without them anymore

only do the day to day stuff

not USA at all

idk what USA working is like

[thin aspen]

Guess we're rubbing off on you guys

[proud jay]

yes, the USA is the origin of the world

nothing ever originates anywhere else

[thin aspen]

I was talking about the getting investors, using their money, then starting another company that company A will hire as a consultor only to turn around and lose

plays national anthem

[proud jay]

it's just being a scumbag ¯_(ツ)_/¯

that guy was just a bad person in general though

[thin aspen]

That's the american way.

[proud jay]

he also just had a kid because his gf wanted one to get her to stop asking for it lol

he never wanted kids

[timber viper]

[proud jay]

he also tried to scam the government for some subsidies during covid times

at that point I quit

[timber viper]

lmao

[thin aspen]

Oh yeah, that's peak USAian

[timber viper]

this is hilarious

[proud jay]

I swear he was driving me insane

[thin aspen]

I aspire to be different, but we'll see.

[proud jay]

when working from home I legit had to take "breathing meditation" breaks after anything he said in our discord

and he was so incompetent at anything he did as well

I even had to write mails for him to reply to publishers and things cause he couldn't even write proper emails

I wholeheartedly believe that if he didn't found his own company he would never have found a job

[thin aspen]

I'm not being facetious here, it sounds like he was just in the wrong country trying to do business. I know entirely too many people like that who thrive here.

This is my experience with almost every white collar job I've had ever. Blue collar as well but I expect these types of things from the restaurant industry or warehouses.

[timber viper]

is it true most publishers act so charm but become wild on the long run

when you contact them

[proud jay]

the ones we were in contact with were pretty chill tbh

[thin aspen]

Sounds like he is a fan of rich dad poor dad.

[proud jay]

but we never signed with one on the project I worked on

the "sister" studio is working with warhammer40k though, and they were pretty nice during the time I worked there

they definitely all want to take all your money though

but that's just business

like we've had some insane proposals

where the publisher would get like 80% of revenue without doing very much at all

[thin aspen]

I haven't really heard any publisher horror stories, no wait that's a lie I heard about one on youtube via a reddit post, but still I wonder what it's like.

[thin aspen]

We call those crackhead games where I'm from.

[timber viper]

yeah thats why I asked, I heard some publishers try to charm you on your first week and then go wild and... quite "manipulative" when they offer services

[proud jay]

some definitely try to push the game in their direction though

[timber viper]

I'd be quite scared of them if I'd make a business tbh.. unless you have some solid people around you they are like lions and you are prey

[thin aspen]

I wonder if it just boils down to entertainment industry bs where people are taking advantage of people who generally don't know any better or don't have resources.

[proud jay]

but not always for the worst

like paradox interactive said they didn't want to publish the game in the current state, but if we added features x,y and z to be more in line with their game portfolio they would be interested

[thin aspen]

So basically you have to vet them the same way you'd vet a potential employer/employee

[proud jay]

but like not in a mean way or anything

[thin aspen]

And don't go to activision or EA if you're trying to make a jrpg. Got it.

Roger, saw the feedback, to learn everything the wrong way wouldn't be my cup of tea.

[fleet tangle]

Isn't it illegal to advertise something for sale at a low price if it's never actually at the full price?

[regal pecan]

they can just rotate the sales so 10% of the courses are at full price at any one time

[snow pawn]

It's normally at full price, but they run allot of specials per week and then email/notify you on wish-listed content

[fleet tangle]

Even the US has some laws!

Well, it was at full price last week

[fleet tangle]

True enough!

I found one that's full price! Go me!

(It was in Health & Fitness/Breathing Techniques, but I think that still counts since nearly all of the other courses in the same category were discounted.)

When I worked at Amazon we used to make some software slow on purpose.

Then when a problem caused real slowness, we’d remove the fake delays and things would feel normal.

The fake delays made users happier, even though they all wanted faster software.

Makes you think.

10 points if anyone knows the person from the gif

[quasi mantle]

Speaking of FF16

1. The story and world building looks so cool, I mean, it's apparent YoshiP had huge influence from Ivalice universe

2. Did they use FXAA for the game? I noticed a lot of shimmering and jagged edges, which won't be present in TAA. Considering it uses buffed FF14 engine

3. The character rendering in Ambition trailer is a HUGE step up

FXAA is less smoother than TAA, but it's much less prone to smudging and ghosting (and I think it's faster)

[thin aspen]

quickly looks up was AA means to seem like I'm in the know

Well if I were a guessing man I'd say they're using some (if not all) of the things they wrote for ff7R

I'd even venture to say ff7R was the throwaway to try out new techniques for everything from rendering down to UI

That is to say, whatever we saw from ff7R is probably what they're using now

Until they get whatever the name of their in-house engine is together

[quasi mantle]

Well, FF16 isn't an Unreal Engine game, the post process effects in particular doesn't look like something UE would do.

Though to be fair jagged edges kinda lost in 4K anyway

[foggy path]

was trying to create a ribbon type particle in godot, thinking it must be a matter of just configuring the particle correctly

[thin aspen]

Really I thought they were using UE for ff16

[foggy path]

but haha nah of course it isn't

because unlike UE it isn't full of actually useful features

:P

[quasi mantle]

If FF16 is a UE game, Epic would clamour over it in blogs and stuff

[thin aspen]

well I guess they did pre-production in it. oops

[quasi mantle]

According to some Japanese sources (that I didn't bookmark), they did pre-prod in UE4 before buffing up their tried and true FF14 engine.

[thin aspen]

Luminous right?

[quasi mantle]

Well, it's basically fork of early Luminous engine.

And then they built things on top of it as FF14 grow.

[thin aspen]

Well in that case, you have some very valid questions then. I don't have a good enough eye to be able to tell the difference, even if i did I'd have to try to find some more gameplay footage to really have an idea of what they did.

[quasi mantle]

Thankfully the cinematics in the trailers are all in-engine, so it can be spotted

[mossy nexus]

Do I feel bad? No. No I don't... 😄 😄

[thin aspen]

When you say that it brings to mind the big difference in quality between what I'm assuming was pre-prod to the most recent stuff.

I guess they did put a lot of work into luminous.

[quasi mantle]

Don't feel bad.

[quasi mantle]

The "main fork" of Luminous would be the one used in Forspoken, while the "FF14 fork" would be the one in FF16

I guess similar instance would be like GoldSrc/Source started off as fork of id Tech 2

Though I don't know how people can just make engine spinoffs out of id Tech, I guess back then id Software's licensing waived licensees to modify their engines and claim it to be their own if the modification is distinct enough

[thin aspen]

or maybe it was like the UE3 thing where unless someone is complaining about something no one knows.

[quasi mantle]

Haha, rest in pepperoni Silicon Knights

Even then people could find out by file structure of the game

[soft night]

it need to use irc version what support json

[quasi mantle]

Interestingly people still don't know what UE version the 2011 version of Duke Nukem Forever is using

The file structure doesn't match typical UE3 games

[thin aspen]

Asking if running a webserver on-premise makes it less vulnerable < anything else

[thin aspen]

Duke Nukem Forever used UE?

TIL

[quasi mantle]

Yeah, early on supposed to use id Tech 2, then Unreal Engine 1 blow up, DNF shifted to UE1 (and that's what the 2001 leak used). Then George Broussard got distracted with tech advancement 3D Realms turned their UE code base into frankenstein until eventual release on 2011 when Call of Duty, Halo, and Battlefield reign supreme.

[thin aspen]

That's interesting. I wasn't aware

[quasi mantle]

DNF is probably the most anticlimactic development hell ever, it's so infamous

[thorny dock]

lol apples to trucks comparison there, godot is a FOSS framework to build upon, it's more intended to be easily extendable so can create your own niagara system, then suited to be something you pickup and develop anything with. unreal is not FOSS

[fleet tangle]

I made the best wow boss kill video with the duke nukem trilogy trailer soundtrack.

I redid all the effects in the video and matched them up to events on the boss. It was fantasic.

[thin aspen]

not gonna lie I stopped playing games for a long time through no fault of my own so I missed out on a lotta stuff between (04-now) - ~3 years

[foggy path]

No idea, I don't really care whether it's FOSS or not, I'm more interested in whether or not I have to jump through a hundred hoops to achieve something as opposed to just pressing a button lol

I wouldn't say Godot is bad or anything, it's just not as convenient as UE in terms of what it gives you out of the box

What's On Steam (@WhatsOnSteam)

Heroes City Superman Edition - new on Steam: https://t.co/rYVKIvr9QI ($34.99)

[thin aspen]

is that what I think it is?

[deep glen]

matrix city + superman model

[zinc matrix]

does that thing even start with 8gb of ram?

[thin aspen]

It's exactly what i thought it was and to top it all off they want 35 dollars for it

[topaz depot]

don't forget the flying asset!

[thin aspen]

Somebody has to put a stop to this

[timber viper]

$35? nani

[thin aspen]

I can only imagine what those credits at the end look like

[deep glen]

superman: henry blobville

[quasi mantle]

And to think I'm planning to put $35 price tag on my action RPG project that I'm making deep lore, world building, and custom characters on...

[deep glen]

makr it 120

[quasi mantle]

not to mention self made plugins and animation systems...

I don't know, thinking that City Sample asset flip charging for the same price unscathed caused me huge heartburn, when I put my love towards anime, RPGs, and tech art fascination into my project

[thin aspen]

I'm tryna told yall, someone gotta stop this person.

They're lex luthor posing as clark kent

[quasi mantle]

I mean, yeah, I admit, my project is basically action Final Fantasy clone with some Idolmaster writing and elaborate satire on isekai genre

Me seeing luos' post

[quasi mantle]

Also I remember how this was hyped out of proportion by journo channels

[thin aspen]

my disdain for game dev journalist has levelled up

[quasi mantle]

*game journalist

I didn't see dev journo sites like 80lv hyped it up

[thin aspen]

You're right i probably put game dev out of habit

game journalism == GC

[deep glen]

ikr

[thin aspen]

let me get back to work

before i do that, the real question is, if anyone puts that in their portfolio will they get hired

[deep glen]

psst. november marketplace free stuff got dropped

[thin aspen]

anything worthwhile?

[cursive crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/sebastian-adamczyk-pge-skra-bełchatów-gif-24576131

[foggy path]

hype for more stuff I'll never use!

[deep glen]

<_< when you already own the three most expensive ones

[foggy path]

I think EasyMultiSave is still the only one which has been very useful out of all the free junk lol

[thorny dock]

not only is that asset flip painful but that guy has that superman tutorial on youtube, well at least someone does, it looks exactly the same lol

also how can you put a game up with superman and get approved and not sued?

[thin aspen]

I just don't think DC got wind of it yet

[foggy path]

reporting copyright infringement is stupid on most platforms

like.. you can't even report obvious ones like that unless you are the copyright owner

[carmine frigate]

really not worth the effort too put a lawyer on it

its not like the creator has money

[foggy path]

you have to

[thin aspen]

If it's the same hero games studio I saw they got enough money to pay employees

[foggy path]

if you don't defend your IP, it's assumed you don't care and then anyone can do whatever with it

that is literally how it works in the US at least

[cursive crypt]

You can report, but will they listen?

[carmine frigate]

nah thats not true

[fleet tangle]

They do. I've heard tales of people getting their accounts suspended because people fake copyright claim.

[foggy path]

Got this captcha trying to claim the free for the month assets

Are they using AI to generate captcha images now?

[cursive crypt]

Sounds like a fairy tale for late evening around the fire.

[thin aspen]

Granted though I will agree, that you can get away with copyright infringement so long as you aren't making any money, once you actually start gaining enough revenue the ban hammer comes down.

[deep glen]

to improve AI shit, yea @foggy path

[fleet tangle]

Obviously doesn't happen on all platforms. 😛

[cursive crypt]

Why you have captchas? First time I ever hear of someone being asked.

[deep glen]

i'd refuse to click on any of em, i dont see a bat

[foggy path]

lolwut, I didn't fill in the captcha at all because I was messing with the screenshot... then the page just went back to the checkout... I clicked purchase again, and this time I didn't get a captcha?

nice security epic

lol

[cursive crypt]

Let me guess, food recipes? omg, someone stole my pumpkin & leek soup recipe

[thin aspen]

jokes on you, bots can't screenshot

[foggy path]

well I mean if you can just redo the purchase and it won't give you another captcha...

really good setup lol

[carmine frigate]

really u dont have to scrounge the internet for ppl that use ur IP

[primal summit]

a halloween thing?

[thin aspen]

lol, i'm just being a donkey. But the implication that there's any real security on anything is a real pipe dream.

[foggy path]

well there is

[thin aspen]

In my experience no one cares until it costs them money, and even then they still don't care.

[carmine frigate]

a nobody project like this u can let go and u wont lose superman

[foggy path]

most places that give you a captcha or other security check will force you to do it even if you attempt to back out of it

I've never actually seen a system where you can bypass the captcha by just reloading lol

[thin aspen]

Captcha is usually to stop bots not really as a means of security. DDOS and all that fun stuff.

[carmine frigate]

name 1 big IP that got lost cuz it wasnt defended

[foggy path]

afaik you have to take "sufficient measures" whatever that means

[thin aspen]

It means nothing.

[foggy path]

I guess it more or less boils down to "if you know about someone infringing you must take action"

either by giving them an exemption or by telling them to stop

[thin aspen]

C&D

[foggy path]

this is one of the reasons why some fan game projects and such have had problems with IP that is sort of forgotten but they still got a C&D for it

[carmine frigate]

superman is not forgotten 😛

[foggy path]

Yeah so you can assume if they get wind of that game it'll be gone lol

[carmine frigate]

and they wont lose it when a bunch of superman games pop on steam.... they get em removed cuz they dont want to get assosiateed with total garbage

[thin aspen]

SOMEONE PLEASE CALL 911

[carmine frigate]

im not in US

[short grove]

911 works in other countries too

*some

[unborn lotus]

112 gang

[carmine frigate]

yup... anyways i would need more info too call

[thorny dock]

"Imagine a game where you can select your hero-.." Names game Superman Edition, releases each hero in it's own standalone paid game

[thin aspen]

it was a wyclef jean reference

But it was also appropriate given the situation

[carmine frigate]

well, glad ur not havin a seizure or some shit

[thin aspen]

Last time that happened I was by myself at a laundromat

good times

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/pennywise-it-laundry-day-gif-14999034

was it like that?

[primal summit]

not really, that's like shouting "FIRE" in a crowded theater or pulling a fire alarm in a skyscraper...

[thin aspen]

I wish

[celest musk]

didn't they add anything to permanently free this month?

oh, they added something which was free for a month before

[crisp rose]

i think new stuff gets added next tuesday, not sure tho

[foggy path]

A classic from Epic free on GOG atm :) https://www.gog.com/en/game/jazz_jackrabbit_2_collection

Mildly confusing that it lists the trademark for unreal 4 in the copyright notice for that though lol

[thorny dock]

thats awesome would have missed that cheers, also thats strange I wonder if there was a trailer for the collection years later they used ue4 for or something lol

[soft night]

also when I got discord nitro last month I magically got 1 month pc gamepass and 2 months ultimate in my gift inventory, can redeem the code on your own account lol

i just cant tell whats going on with twitch anymore, so many different currencies and things

[zinc matrix]

i had prime game account, its was free for one week. i got fallout 76 and fallout nw for no cost 🙂

i feel little dirty, but..

[carmine frigate]

fallout 76 i heared good things about that game

or just things

[zinc matrix]

ive heard it is decent now. launch didnt go that well though

[carmine frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout76-fallout-game-spinning-rolling-gif-16810758

[scarlet bay]

Anyone have any recommendations on a laptop? I was thinking about purchasing this one

[celest musk]

3080TI comes with 16GB in laptops? Oo

[thorny dock]

ive heard fallout 76 to this day still contains hacked items with impossible stats that still haven't been fully tracked down and removed, so while it's in a decent state now its economy is forever ruined, and you will forever have hacked stats and gear players

ive wanted to try it

[craggy ruin]

Hey guys, so I'm currently working on a metroidvania and I can't decide the theme of the game. So far I have 3 themes to choose from:

1. A fantasy world filled with medieval knights. There would be different zones, each with its own enemy type such as fire, poison, ice, etc. You play as a knight that must save the world from the corruption (inspired by Hollow Knight)
2. A setting inspired by the 9 circles of hell where the game takes place in a hell fashion world. There would be different realms to go to. The main character's goal is to find his loved one and rescue her from this demonic world
3. A plague-like world where everyone got infected with the plague. The main character is a plague doctor whose goal is to rescue everyone from the infection.

[celest musk]

the reviews aren't good either for the MP, seems to be pay2win or grind

[zinc matrix]

well, if it sucks.. atleast i got nv and also fo3 from egs 🙂

only if i had time to play them..

[celest musk]

i got FO4 2 weeks ago and sadly played it before EGS gave FO3 out ;/

2nd time this happens to me 😄

putting my hopes in ark2

[zinc matrix]

fo4 was great, no matter what people on internet says about it

[celest musk]

yea, i had fun, can't complain for $10 with all the DLCs 😄

it felt a bit wonky and out of date at first, but you get used to it

[zinc matrix]

story on 3 was maybe better, but it has some nostalgia points for me

i mean 4 had better graphics etc

you dont need to play 3 before 4

[celest musk]

they are different stories? anyways, i shouldn't play too much after all 😄

[zinc matrix]

there are some references in between, but nothing that would ruin it

couple same character

[unreal ether]

yeah its nothing like new vegas, that has a lot of references to fallout 1 and 2.
also really enjoyed fallout 4. although for me every playthrough needs scrap everything and no settlement cap installed.

[unreal ether]

can confirm. avid fo76 player.
economy is ruined, dupers mean you can buy every single ammo type from other players for 1 cap each. cheaters mean fake legacies get handed out and basically no weapon is rare anymore. legacies mean high levels often ruin events and steal all the loot which are the only reason to play the damn game now

the story is alright now, and the gameplay is still fun. just with it being an mmo, and all the multiplayer content being altered beyond repair, leaves a sour taste in my mouth

[celest musk]

yea, i should have played FO4 earlier with mods

i thought it might ruin the vanilla experience, but the opposite is the case

[unreal ether]

the mods save that game for me

personally i only really get lore friendly mods

[celest musk]

having a nude piper around all the time is just something thats missing in the base game 😄
