I'm a newbie, I barely do my 2nd map. First one, I spent like 70h, lol
It was a spaghetti, now, I'm doing what turned out to be known as a Main bus. Turns out many do the same.

Also, I take my time to add a lot of reports and logic circuits, kinda like it.

I'm also guilty of spending like an hour or two with the map generator. That perlin bugs me out too much.

[tulip orbit]

I've got.. 822hrs in. And yeah I always do a main bus, but never seem to space things out right. I rely on blueprints too much, which kinda defeats the point of the game... aaalways am too low on the circuits

[cursive crypt]

I barely learned about these BPs....

🙂

[tulip orbit]

I download the mini-factories from factorioprints, and then just plop them in, let the constructor bots build...

[regal pecan]

This video suffices as a paraphrase of the academic paper it's citing, but it's.... bland? Quantitative? "Building Better Crafting Systems" and "Crafting Is (Kinda) Pointless" are opinion pieces, but they offer constructive critique of where crafting systems go wrong or do well.

[cursive crypt]

I love watching graphs like these, my iron ore consumption at the gate of one smelting block.. Currently running at near 60% basically.

Why? I used only one, basically to timestamp my design for the smelting.

[tulip orbit]

Its a good overview of things to think about when designing your crafting system. I kinda knew most of the main points, but with simpler words

[cursive crypt]

I did once 👍 , this is my 2nd

[tulip orbit]

yeah, especially if you drop in one of the all in one factories that builds all your starting stuff. just feed it some ores and walk away

[cursive crypt]

Is fun to figure out stuff.

[tulip orbit]

I use the research and the circuit BPs, cause its balanced and fairly compact

[cursive crypt]

I don't like these. The few mods I put in where just one to combine all combinators and reporting utilities. Like that graph up, which I tuned up, in Lua (bleh).

[tulip orbit]

the bobsangels/etc mods are way too complicated for my simple brain

[cursive crypt]

What are these? 🤔 Kinda top community design?

[tulip orbit]

trying to figure it out just frustrated me 😦

[cursive crypt]

Would be interesting to compare. I usually do some computation and figured, say you need 1 coil per 6 red cards say.

[broken sigil]

Anyone used Glorious GMMK2 here?
Thinking about getting it 🤔

[tulip orbit]

wuzzat

[broken sigil]

a keyboard 😅

[cursive crypt]

oof

[tulip orbit]

nope

[cursive crypt]

How many of these are on the MP compared to MJs?

risky click

[tulip orbit]

hard to go back to building on your own

[cursive crypt]

You know, seen few community ones, all are so... organised. Mine are pretty nice, but kinda spontaneous, lol

Hey, I invented my own 3 belt splitter system for my train unloads.
I also don't get how so many ppl go without train buffer i.e. place to store and hold your dump while slowly sourced to the rest of the base.

[bright token]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agMwl5nLFPw

[cursive crypt]

I also use one way rails

Oops, I mean 2 ways

Doing some side tracks?

Huh... I never found use of the others, too much space and building. Maybe, if your mines are so far...

Oo... you are into some megabases, mine are pretty small I guess.

One main base, with 1 or more stops and usually one mine per resource.

Today I even figured out that locos should be next to each other. Much easier to extend the train.

lol, yeah, sounds grand

Love them.

They have even names.

lol, why so bad experience? But on other hand I never did more than 3-4 trains.

[broken sigil]

That's the anime one right?
I would say MJ with the new V4 is ahead of any other image gen AIs, but that's my opinion 😅

[cursive crypt]

I see, I guess, smaller is better then.

[regal pecan]

Pathfinding in trains sounds like an unnecessarily complicated way to avoid creating the assets for trainwrecks.

[cursive crypt]

They never ran over a bug so far :/

[regal pecan]

Is there a factorio mod for dumb trains with no pathfinding that wreck themselves at the least opportunity?

[cursive crypt]

Isn't that just a rail without signals?

I color my trains according to the resource they carry 💪

There

I dunno... Can't imagine the UI handling

The choice of 2d was great imo

Today, I saw someone shipping steam over distant bases. Was... interesting choice.

huh, really? Just computing now for 50 drills say...

That 150-180 steam per second.

Or one wagon per ~2 minutes

But then... efficiency modules 🤔

Well, math time 🙂

I used so far only Speed. Kinda don't get the use of the others.

Nah, can't stand beacons. I have an aesthetic reasons.

Yeah, I get that part of the optimisations.

[fathom wadi]

I love spoilers. Saves me loads of time on average knowing what I don't want to know before I knew I didn't care enough to know it anyway 😄

the only time I cared about spoilers was watching Mr.Robot. But luckily not enough people were watching it until the 3rd or 4th season for it to be widespread

Even my wife knew that when they released a new season, she wouldn't see me until it was seen.

that show haunts me. There is a song by M83 that Epic used on the Paragon trailer, called Intro/Outro. I had this feeling that it would turn up at some point in the show and it appeared at the perfect time. One of the very limited times I cried at a tv show. It was a perfect cinematic experience

[broken sigil]

Welp.. I ordered it 😅

[cursive crypt]

but I like how white looks

[cursive crypt]

True, is nice.

[foggy path]

What happened to the keyboard that was supposed to have like full UE powered visuals

Ah right that one was from Finalmouse, doesn't seem they've announced anything about it yet I guess

[ionic basin]

where is everyone?

nobody's online haha

[lofty lark]

in my apartment

Everyone is here. Including dragonHell

[ionic basin]

Like in the voice channels 😛

[timber viper]

i wonder what people even talk in voice channels 😄

[cursive crypt]

Usually exclusive groups i.e. ppl in one don't go in the other.

[lofty lark]

In case you are tired of having a nice peaceful day I suppose.

[timber viper]

so turns out webm videos are able to glitch discord chat

[broken sigil]

thanks, I hate it lol

[timber viper]

i'm addicted

[lofty lark]

This one might be a bit inappropriate so I can remove if necessary but I thought it was cool

[timber viper]

LMAO

[lofty lark]

That one is the only other one I got though :<

They spaz out in the windows 10 "Movies & TV" player too, not just discord.

[unreal cedar]

I guess webm allows resolution changes during the video?

that's the only thing I can think of that'd cause this

[broken sigil]

yeah^

[broken sigil]

lol post this again and then play them both at the same time

[broken sigil]

oh no discord is not having a fun time LOL

anyone know the solution?

[foggy path]

Depends on which program that is :P

I'm guessing it's git, just try again until it works, or use it from command line where you should get a more useful error

[primal summit]

I have one player that handles it and that's what it does, two others vomit errors

What's wrong with GHD? I know Laura doesn't like it because it invents some new terms and everyone she's ever used it with has been retarded.

[quasi mantle]

I'm going with more objective mind, and used it for 2 years.

GitHub Desktop is decent for hand holding someone through Git, but it hides many things away that makes it difficult to troubleshoot for problems, and at the cost of n00b friendly it doesn't give as much option as other Git GUI like Sourcetree.

[fleet tangle]

I have to admit, I haven't used Sourcetree, but I found 99% of the stuff I needed in GHD. I opened the console for git commands maybe 3 times in 6 months.

[quasi mantle]

To be fair, it does what it needs to do and what you expect from doing essential git stuff.

[fleet tangle]

Yeah! I must try Sourcetree some day. Sadly we're not using git any more.

My project lead uses tortoise git. I worry about him sometimes.

[quasi mantle]

Because it's slower than rabbit git?

two drums and a cymbal falling off a cliff

[fleet tangle]

That's what I don't like about it, tbh.

The explorer integration hurts my eyes.

[broken sigil]

I actually like GHD
I usually use git commands for creating repositories, branches, etc... And GHD for commits, pushing, pulling, etc...

[fleet tangle]

I just use GHD for that too.

[timber viper]

mangaka retired

[lofty lark]

Ain't that the truth ;-; I'm way behind... And I thought graduating college woulda meant I'd spend more time binging lol

[lofty lark]

No shame

[timber viper]

i mean, one of them is kaguya-sama.. other one is aku no hana

[lofty lark]

@timber viper

[timber viper]

but i binged vinland saga in two days

barely paid attention

actually you started tokyo ghoul before I finish aku no hana 😅

probably because it was going to take forever

i'm surprised you choosen to watch it while there are many other exist though

[lofty lark]

Did you originally think Kaguya-sama was super boring or something

[timber viper]

respect

[lofty lark]

Good good.

[timber viper]

ffs fine

i'll continue ep8 now

[lofty lark]

Bruh that's a long time >.>

like a long long time

[timber viper]

its actually ||7 months||

i gotta binge it real quick to finish to make tank happy

[lofty lark]

you gotta watch it to make @timber viper happy

[timber viper]

its not a type of anime intended to make someone happy though 😂

[lofty lark]

I haven't watched it so I've no idea what it's about >.>

[timber viper]

whole storyline is based on thriller and phsycological assault towards audience

[lofty lark]

oh

Oh I already added it to my watch list :p

[timber viper]

first few eps are "oh, cool, definitely an extraordinary and interesting anime"
then its "wtf"..and its up to your mood that will determine what kind of "wtf" its going to be

[lofty lark]

Might take me a while to get to it, Kaguya S3 was at the top and I finished rewatching S2 like 2-3 months ago 😅

[timber viper]

yeah i dont dislike it either

[lofty lark]

Is it only 12 episodes..?

[timber viper]

biggest wtf is in ||where they first meet alone in the library|| - dont open vagu

[lofty lark]

If it's like, <24 I could binge it tomorrow

[timber viper]

you cant anyway

[lofty lark]

I appreciate that edit and I binge literally everything I watch >.>

[timber viper]

1/2 of experience would be wasted

tl;dr there are some unpleasant things happening, in an interesting way.. and you gotta give yourself completely to feel the atmosphere

it has a very unique taste as an anime

and the reason I'm avoiding is because of it, I usually watch animes to relax 😂

[lofty lark]

Errr, I try to watch as much as I can in one sitting without like, losing focus I guess might be a better way of putting it? I don't like watching if I think I'm going to have interruptions/loss of focus.

I don't think I've really watched a thriller/psychological anime before though? Idk if stuff like Elfen Lied, Happy Sugar Life, and Brynhildr in the Darkness would fall into that realm?

[timber viper]

tbh just opened where i left last time and I instantly started to feel disturbed

[lofty lark]

And it's not out of "oh i don't want to watch that stuff" it's just a simple matter of "i just happened to not watch anything like that"

I'll give it a go.

But on a lighter note, S3 was dope. || I was so worried it was going to hand on another romantic cliff hanger. I was NOT expecting them to kiss at the end at all. ||

|| oh and the rap episode was awesome. Especially the outro. ||

Is it not marked spoiler or something..?

[timber viper]

what the heck is that car that it lasts 780km with one tank?

at 7.3l/100km

[proud jay]

just a car?

ah no, the 7.3 is the consumption of the current trip

[celest musk]

110l 60l tank? 😄

[proud jay]

I just started driving

average is like 5.9l/100 I thin k

[celest musk]

so it's usually below 5l/100km? Oo

ok, that sounds reasonable

[quasi mantle]

At this point people shouldn't buy the game for review bombing. I'm sure those guys are tone deaf af, and only speak money.

Just my hunch, but scummy people like those won't care about bad press, any publicity is good publicity. They would only give up if they're bleeding money

[celest musk]

well, superman is probably IP??

[quasi mantle]

Superman is public domain 😏

[quasi mantle]

The owner sure charged a lot for that.

[celest musk]

Superman would enter the public domain on Jan. 1, 2034.

[quasi mantle]

Honestly this scares me a bit, the prospect of someone with more money power can stole freeware games and/or maybe taking over your copyright name on Steam

[quasi mantle]

He would need to send out his personal information to make a counter claim, which I'm very certain they'll gonna dox the crap out of him once they reject the counter claim.

Also I don't know if Steam themselves removed the itch.io link or the scammer omitting it, but I'm legit at loss of word.

This one looks fire

It is but I was referring to the pfp

That serious look 🔥

Hot reload is underrated

[slate drift]

[proud jay]

[thin aspen]

The real question here is how did they even get access to the uproject and such. That would be my number one concern. They have an itch.io so this should be a pretty straight forward process then

[slim atlas]

IF YOU THINK YOU OWN IT

yee

look here

scammer

show the unreal engine project

show it

open it

proof it

[proud jay]

I mean the itch.io doesn't prove anything by itself

if you would work at a company, steal the code and upload it before the company releases it, that doesn't prove it's yours

not saying this is the case here at all

just saying that it's not proof

[slim atlas]

yee

they have to show the source code.

but they cant

[quasi mantle]

If they going to try hard, they could reverse the game files and rebuild into a UE project
But I know it's much harder to do than with a Unity project

[slim atlas]

it is

and they dont have the encryption key

[quasi mantle]

They can still try if they're dedicated to see the man "dead"

[slim atlas]

it wouldnt explain how he got the files then

if both parties suddenly have the files...

[quasi mantle]

The scammer would likely win by money power

[slim atlas]

its hidden in the exe tho...

they dont have it raw

[thin aspen]

Yeah, I was working under the assumption that hero games stole the project. So if they did then that would be how they had access to the source to even build and ship it.

[quasi mantle]

One can have no encryption and still have the game running anyway

[slim atlas]

they stole the itchio demo

and just removed the readme

thats all.

and steam wont take action

cause no crime was commited.

[proud jay]

well it was

just not proven

innocent until proven otherwise

[slim atlas]

and how do you proove it?

with timestamps?

XD

how

[quasi mantle]

And considering they went great length attacking the creator, them reversing the game files into something resembling Unreal project and using it as "prove" is not out of the possibility

[proud jay]

show progress

source code

[unreal ether]

Ask them nicely to tell the truth?

[proud jay]

assets

vcs history

[slim atlas]

i tell you how did it

[proud jay]

but you would need to go to court

[slim atlas]

i left my name in the GAME

[proud jay]

which costs money

[thin aspen]

Exactly

Which neither party has.

[quasi mantle]

To a scammer? If you have CHARISMA 100 then yeah

I guess for now is to let journos picking the story up

https://insider-gaming.com/scammers-steal-superman-demo/

Mick Gordon already have high charisma, not to mention he was passionate when carrying Doom 2016 music on public appearances

[thin aspen]

The reality of the situation is, if you told these same people the ocean has fish in it and the sun rises in the east they still wouldn't listen. So it's a losing battle.

[proud jay]

can they even release the ue5 city in a game?

is there a license for that

[quasi mantle]

It's under Epic Content license, so as long as it's in UE5, it's gucci

[thin aspen]

I thought it would fall under the use of UE assets thing.

[quasi mantle]

I mean, people repurposed Paragon assets prior to someone fully remake the real thing (and got Epic's blessings)

What's not allowed is stealing the city buildings and put it into Unity

(and then claim "this is the best Unity have to offer" satisfying Unity fanboys in the process)

Well, same goes with other engine/renderers

[slim atlas]

i reported the game too now

[quasi mantle]

Good call
I'm just going to watch things unfold

I'm rooting for Tyson, but I already assume the scammer is quite a force to reckon with.

Ironically game journos picking up the story is one hope this moves forward

[quasi mantle]

Just don't buy the game if possible.

Speak with the money

[thin aspen]

@thin cape password security at this point is a joke

[proud jay]

what is jfc

[thin cape]

I like how mullvad handles accounts, you have a number, no password no accounts

[thin aspen]

If you have $25 you can crack virtually anything on AWS in less than a day

[thin aspen]

A number?

[thin aspen]

Just fried chicken

[thin cape]

yea, your mullvad account is a random number

it's a long number for sure

but it's better than this password fiasco

biometrics are joke too

[proud jay]

I knew he did something to that chicken he was holding before

[thin cape]

I personally have a raspeberry pi running arch(I had to say it, it's the law) which runs a password manager server

iptables all the way, no penetrating that bad boy

and then I have the client compiled for windows, android and a python script for linux(these are a pain to compile anything for)

[proud jay]

rip if the pi dies and you lose all passwords

[thin cape]

nope

[thin aspen]

There’s only one real way to make sure you don’t get pwned

[thin cape]

the arch is on an external hdd

[thin aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/memes-cat-connection-interrupted-walking-system-bug-gif-15812830

[thin cape]

and I backup each 3-4 days

I know the drill on managing servers and data backup

[proud jay]

I don't back up my server

I like to live dangerously

I should though

[thin aspen]

That guy sysadmins

[proud jay]

so can I steal your backup and have all your passwords

[thin aspen]

I remember going for the OSCP, fun times those were

[thin cape]

only if you have the master password

but if you manage to steal the backup, then it's a little bit worrying since you managed to get into my home

[proud jay]

sorry not sorry

He could use the tried and true method of just asking nicely with the promise of large sums of money

It reminds me of that time I slipped on a bottle in a small mosh pit and broke my nose on someone's arm. He looked terrified that I was about to pummel him, but I thanked him, set it correctly this time to stop the whistle after I'd badly set it after I'd last broke it, and dove back in.

[fading goblet]

ok i kinda finished proof-of-concept

but i must learn somethings before making proper version of my game

[slate drift]

@sand oxide But why?

[fading goblet]

what

[thin aspen]

Btw did you know you’re African royalty and are owed money and I can get it for you

[fading goblet]

for what

[slate drift]

To make you approve my BP-only MMO game?

[fading goblet]

what

[slate drift]

Oh btw, you missed something highly important today: #multiplayer message @sand oxide

That guy obviously needed your advice

[fading goblet]

are we making metaverse?

[slate drift]

We already passed that level, we are making wizaura-verse now

[thin aspen]

“I hope you get a nice answer” the only right response

[fading goblet]

can i join?

[slate drift]

Applications open next year

[fading goblet]

i must join then

what do u think bout zuck's meta btw

[slate drift]

That sucks. Tho I thought you crunched for Microsoft. I'm confusion now

[fading goblet]

so u are not gamedev?

🤨

[slate drift]

Yeah that's why she isn't a regular in #cpp

Hmmm, you made me think now. I like it

I rarely think, neither read

I'm used to watch gamedev.tv tuts

I'm dead

[fading goblet]

is it bad that i use only spaghetti instead of code?

[topaz depot]

[fading goblet]

i know

but still

im asking bout habit

[slate drift]

I knew it, I effing knew it. Thanks for the info!

[topaz depot]

no problem! 😃

more optimized

why would you loop for 1k times

it's not a crash, it's a feature which tells you not to do it!

no one do it tho

that's bad, go do something productive

i wanna make game

[topaz depot]

yes! anytime

[fading goblet]

but i must do presentation for tomorrow

😦

[topaz depot]

you can't even play 1D chess who are you kiddimg

[fading goblet]

impossible

my topic is humanoid robots

[thin aspen]

You could make a game, or, and just hear me out, you could not make a game and say you did.

[fading goblet]

topic of my presentation isnt realted to gamedev

[thin aspen]

You could use gundam wing references and metal gear references and then it would be game adjacent.

metahumans

[fading goblet]

eh

topic is humanoid robot (assistants)

[thin aspen]

Detroit Become Human

[thin aspen]

someone didn't follow directions

[fading goblet]

i wanna learn metahumans so badly tho

im closing my project, tommorow metahumans time

[thin aspen]

[fading goblet]

what

i thought they re

wait so

what should i do to get access to it

do they give access for anyone?

and

do they have that addon with capturing animations?

[thin aspen]

quick question: How do I UE Dev?

[primal summit]

||*||

[slate drift]

quick answer:

The answer was too quick for you to see it

[thin aspen]

takes notes

No wonder

[cobalt oracle]

When you have to decide if you make a component or just keep extending your class... Which one do you skew towards?
I am a class based person, but I am trying to learn my server at around components...

[zinc wagon]

i feel like if you can reuse the functionality in other actors then it should wrapped in a component. plus components help things be more tidier

[carmine frigate]

i often put chicken and ansjovis in my salad 🙂

i thought u were supposed to release the small fish you catch... i have no idea how its viable too can 10 of those tiny things

that stuff is super expensive for how much fish you get

also i could prolly put just salt on my salad instead cuz it tastes allmost liek pure salt

mayB ansjovis is a scam

is it btw? i dont cook my salad i just put it in there

so far i havent died from raw ansjovis so its prolly good?

[dim ruin]

trying to get all my loot

nice deals

[carmine frigate]

last anno i played was pretty old

[dim ruin]

1800 is I think maybe about 2 yrs

[fading goblet]

why i prefer to do games instead of playing em

[dim ruin]

lol

[carmine frigate]

i mostly like coop and MP

has to be really compelling story wise for me to play it

[dim ruin]

same. my taste in games has become extremely specific. Thank god better sandbox survivals have been coming out the past few years (like I actually have time to play)

[carmine frigate]

mostly i dont get past the epic free games these days...

like i play some of those .. not much else

[foggy path]

speaking of which, I can't redeem the ones they have available atm

:P

[carmine frigate]

ow.. i had problems with 1 aswell i think

but it didnt look like something i would ever play anyways

[foggy path]

lol yeah

[dim ruin]

I fall for a good humble bundle every damn time

got Rust and Valheim sitting on deck waiting for me lol

[carmine frigate]

6 million ppl tried to claim it... no1 bother to report it wasnt possible

[dim ruin]

Conan, ugh I don't even know how many I've got that I haven't touched yet but been dying to

[carmine frigate]

sandbox is too time consuming for me 😛

a friend gifted me ark at one point... after me begging him to too give it too me

we played it for like 45 min

[dim ruin]

Yeah I dig the pain of the grind. Video game version of a sadist lol

[carmine frigate]

Im more of a brutal hardcore restart player myself... savegames and checkpoints are for noobs

they dont make those anymore tho

[dim ruin]

like permadeath games?

Mortal Online, stuff like that

[carmine frigate]

8bit nes games and stuff

[dim ruin]

ah

golden stuff

[primal summit]

nintendo hard

[carmine frigate]

I still miss Super Black Bass

all these great fishing sim games nowadays still can't hold a flame to Super Black Bass

its the gameplay, they just don't get the formula

[carmine frigate]

lol friend of mine got NES mini and we played that game.. i still had 90% of incoming bullets memmorized

[dim ruin]

thats not Contra is it?

very contra-esque

[thin aspen]

Quality game

[carmine frigate]

yea.. europe veersion was called probotector... everything was robots but still 100% the same i think

probotector II

[thin aspen]

That is indeed contra

For the Super Nintendo

[carmine frigate]

8bit nintendo

[dim ruin]

that was the very first cheat code I ever memorized as a kid. Still remember it more than 30 years later 😂

[carmine frigate]

no checkpoints..,. no safegames... its just damn brutal if you fail

[thin aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/beaman-man-gif-20909944

[carmine frigate]

like 8bit super mario bros... you play lvl 1-1 soo many times its memmorized to the max i guess this is how speedrunning started

allways did lvl1 w/o stops or brakes

[thin aspen]

Or woman

[dim ruin]

I had the original Mario Bros for Atari 2600. They weren't even "Super" Mario Bros yet. Fuck I wish I still had that

and it was basically Donkey Kong really gameplay-wise

[thin aspen]

It is donkey Kong if I remember correctly

[dim ruin]

pretty much. Donkey Kong was in it

[carmine frigate]

that was when u exit left screen u got right side?

[dim ruin]

yeah lol

[carmine frigate]

it had coop right?

[thin aspen]

Although I prefer rares version for the Super Nintendo

[dim ruin]

I think it was 2-player, but don't quote me

[carmine frigate]

i played that a whole lot of coop on 8 bit

[dim ruin]

I had Donkey Kong too. I don't remember if it was identical to Mario Bros or not

[zinc wagon]

i remember the coop pc games where you had to use one keyboard with your friend

[carmine frigate]

ice climber... aslo super brutal.. never finished it

[thin aspen]

Lol I was just looking at that

[quasi mantle]

Btw what AI did you use for your pfp? That one has lot more common of Final Fantasy style

[carmine frigate]

yea had a few games... also 1 person mouse and 1 person keyboard.. cuz the game was super hard to play with 1 person

[dim ruin]

one of my favs in that era was River Raid

was pretty cool for its time

[thin aspen]

typorch

[carmine frigate]

facebook metaverse 😛

[dim ruin]

and I probably spent a stupid amount of time playing Q-Bert for some unknown reason

[zinc wagon]

mind sharing some code 👀

[quasi mantle]

Oh damn, I thought one of the publicly available ones

[carmine frigate]

i played i bunch of games.. and i only remember what me and my friends called it... cuz we didnt real english

[quasi mantle]

I've been looking for reference of FF-esque faces to make MetaHuman rendition of my anime waifus

[dim ruin]

This was qbert if you remember this one lol

[carmine frigate]

who whould have guessed? 😄

[quasi mantle]

You gotta find an excuse to test new tools
¯_(ツ)_/¯

[carmine frigate]

nah you use new tools as an excuse to make waifus 😄

[quasi mantle]

Fair enough I guess

https://tenor.com/view/laugh-anime-chuckle-gif-10903422

[carmine frigate]

MS paint got an update... time too make some waifus 😛

[quasi mantle]

How many hours would that took?

Ah, good enough for manual "sculpting" reference

[zinc wagon]

interesting... never gotten in AI generated art, is automatic1111 fork a good place to start?

how does it work, just give it some prompts, right?

well i guess i will found out

[quasi mantle]

I can't recall which one but one of the image-to-image SD fork struggles a lot with anime picture sources I throw at it

[zinc wagon]

i think it handles 3d models better

i've seen some guy on youtube who used a basic 3d model to generate some stylized anime art and it looked great. i'll link the video if you want

[quasi mantle]

Ironically I used game screenshots with it

it wasn't even heavily stylized like arcsys games

[zinc wagon]

i think the background of the screenshots threw the AI off

[carmine frigate]

ahh that might be something

[quasi mantle]

I guess it needs to be close up? But IMO their hairs are one of the more defining traits, so I had some expectation of it getting preserved to some capacity

[carmine frigate]

AI is a bit iffy with stuff we can see in an instant somethimes

human mind is super trained on a few things ... and faces is one of em

[zinc wagon]

yeah it's a bit hard to explain to mechanics how (we feel) simple things work

[quasi mantle]

To be fair, the screenshot I used was trimmed bust up, not just the faces

[zinc wagon]

@quasi mantle i got the video! can i dm it to you?

[quasi mantle]

Sure

[fading goblet]

i wanna play new GoW

so badly

but firstly game + of prev part

[foggy path]

Anyone happen to have any idea what these small holes are in boot soles 🤔

I've noticed that quite a few of them have a sole in this specific style, with those kinds of specific holes

[zinc wagon]

i guess it just looks like a smiley face

[foggy path]

I don't think the holes contribute to the smiley face lol

I meant those really small ones, not the three big ones which are pretty obviously for grip

[zinc wagon]

oh

i guess it's for the machinery to hold on to the thing

[foggy path]

Actually I think they might be so you could add studs

[zinc wagon]

google didnt help much (which a first lol)

[foggy path]

Yeah, I was struggling to find an answer on google as well, just find pictures of people's feet with weird diseases on them lol

Here's another boot which has what look like small metal studs in the holes

[zinc wagon]

that cant be comfy to wear

especially after a while

[foggy path]

No idea, but seems would be very useful for winter here

I was walking outside the other night and it was so freaking icy I had to walk on the grass lol

It's usually not that bad but it was just the right combination of no snow yet and a bit of a drizzle which was immediately freezing

[quasi mantle]

Do you guys prefer GitHub Pages or Medium?
I'm thinking about documenting my foundings in a blog everyone can access, just don't know what other devs prefer when it comes to it.

[foggy path]

stay away from medium

they'll slap random paywalls on your readers without asking and all kinds of annoying shit

maybe consider dev.to, that platform seems to be growing a lot and seems to get a bunch of praise as well

[zinc wagon]

i would go with github. people can fork your code to make improvement/changes which is always a plus

why not both tho?

[quasi mantle]

Well, it's going to be just my personal blog and my findings, I mean why would one forking the site itself

[foggy path]

honestly if you wanna start writing, start with the platform that's easiest to use for you

you don't want to add obstacles in your way when you're starting out... and if you decide you like it, you can always move to a different platform later if you feel like it

I had a blog on Blogger/blogspot way back when and wrote pretty random garbage... had another on MyOpera (Opera browser's community site) after it, and then moved to my own domain

[quasi mantle]

Ultimately I want the blog to be free as a "screw you" to some anime style creators paywalling knowledge (it's fine to charge for your service though)

[zinc wagon]

lol that could be useful

[quasi mantle]

Guess I gotta give GH Pages and Jekyll a try then

[foggy path]

I hope it doesn't do 1000 unordered rpc calls

[quasi mantle]

I had ranted to Iskander about those stupid paywalls, figured it's time for me to make a move

[soft night]

not like elon will fire you

[foggy path]

I used to write fairly regularly

but stopped sometime 5 years or so ago

been feeling like writing some random unreal or gamedev stuff lately but haven't gotten around to it

[zinc wagon]

say whatever you want about elon, he did make twitter interesting again

[foggy path]

I'm using the fact that I focused mostly on web dev and JS related stuff as an excuse to not do it lol

[quasi mantle]

Huh, Ruby install...
dev.to it is then for now, maybe I'll migrate to my own GH pages down the line
Just not having more space to store stuff

[zinc wagon]

ew ruby 🤮

[quasi mantle]

And Jekyll was built with Ruby
Yeah, not worth the hassle for now

[foggy path]

you should be using Hakyll anyway

ok maybe not

[zinc wagon]

@foggy path i gotta say, for the longest time i thought your pfp was a roblox character

[foggy path]

:D

I'll have to keep that in mind because it would be a fun troll

[quasi mantle]

Roblox was made by id Software in 1992 after all

[zinc wagon]

just realized it's a Frankenstein enemy? or doom? im not that old

[quasi mantle]

Then the Roblox company was spun off out of id because the latter focused on mature titles

[quasi mantle]

Close enough

[foggy path]

It's from Wolfenstein 3D

[zinc wagon]

yep close enough

[quasi mantle]

It's Hans Grosse, right? The one touting double gatling gun mech?

The first ep's boss

[foggy path]

Death Knight

[quasi mantle]

Spear of Destiny?

[foggy path]

Oh, maybe it was

[quasi mantle]

Yeah, you're right, it was Death Knight from SoD
tbh I haven't go through the SoD campaign lol

[foggy path]

Don't think I did either :D

[regal pecan]

Did the wolf engine games have any particularly memorable levels?

[quasi mantle]

Likely not, considering 90deg wall angle limitations

Wolf3D's labyrinthine level design didn't elp much either.

[quasi mantle]

That being said, IMO E1M1 and E1M9 were more notable just because Doom 2 remade them both as secret levels.

[fleet tangle]

e1m1 is so memorable because of the music!

[quasi mantle]

Damnit, I'm now humming it

[fleet tangle]

So many metal covers.

finally

[regal pecan]

Blake Stone changed it up with fences/glass and more than one wall texture per level (I think?) but it was still tremendously boring level design.
Corridor 7 did better, but releasing it after Doom was... dooming.

[deep copper]

hello! how's it going?!

[quasi mantle]

hello from the other side

[deep copper]

mako! how's it going with your projects?

[quasi mantle]

Well, so so.

Also about the illicit steam listing, Hero Game Studios (the thief) pulled the plug, apparently out of fear, since journos has since picked this up.
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/11/steam-scammers-allegedly-steal-and-sell-indie-devs-free-unreal-superman-demo/

The Steam listing for Heroes City Superman Edition was taken down shortly after this piece went live. [...]

Valve still has yet to respond to Ars' request for comment.

WE GOT THE GOOD ENDING FELLAS

[primal summit]

it's not the good ending until a judge grants him 3x their profits in punitive damages

[regal pecan]

They likely have no (or close to nil) profits. Game didn't have measurable sales players.

[primal summit]

even 1000 sales at $35 is a decent chunk, plus attorneys' fees

[quasi mantle]

They sold it for $10 a piece before pulling the plug out of fear

[primal summit]

triple that and it's a good years' work for having someone steal your game

[quasi mantle]

Considering that they were outright hostile to Tyson (the one who made the game)

[primal summit]

article said up to $35

[quasi mantle]

Last night (in Far East time zones) I saw it for around $10

https://web.archive.org/web/20221114152735/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2181490/Heroes_City_Superman_Edition/

[regal pecan]

Probably closer to 10. If it's more on the scale of 100, at least the attorneys get paid.

[primal summit]

not even 500 buys...

Looking into the data from SteamDB, it's pretty clear that who runs Hero Game Studios isn't going to actually profit from this if any kind of charges are pressed. Highest concurrent player count was 6 players back at launch, and the average player count per 24hrs is about 2. At most, this "studio" made about $150 given the price changes, and I'm willing to bet that most of those sales were either acquaintances or some YouTube/Twitch streamers looking for obscure Steam stuff.

I don't tend to root for the IP holders, but I hope DC/WB smacks them down.

On similar scammer note, Steam apparently also have scam curator issues
If you trick them into sending vertical slice demo keys for them to resell, they'll get angry and review bombing your game

In order to separate the few legit ones to the fake ones, I started sending them free Prologue keys instead of full versions 😛

[primal summit]

and you're all familiar with the steam moderator scam

Where someone gets set as moderator on a game forum, they get the moderator tag.
Then another account messages you about accidentally reporting you for stealing some item they bought on the marketplace, so you need to message modguy who's some official steam support guy now to avoid getting banned, modguy gets your login and password out of you to check things and resolve the matter, changes the password, and sells the account on the black market

[cursive crypt]

As usual, never share your password.

the NSA say you should all stop using C++ btw

[fleet tangle]

It's more efficient to use ++C

[celest musk]

they want you to use C=C+1

[proud jay]

🦀

[celest musk]

but c++ makes you happy when something works and you can close your IDE
