snow makes nice sounds
I was making the joke that school = labor
school isn't labor
its too easy
then they feed you nasty apples
shitty milk
and breadsticks
atleast they feed you something
That's the point of school
what's wrong with bread sticks?
they hurt your gums
You gotta have weak gums if bread hurts them
Gtg fellas, catch you later
Crunchy, hard bread 😅
That context is important Tank
You shoulda had that to begin with, had me
for a second
Thought we were going from bread to war
something something harden baguettes being used as bayonets something something
World cup = lame
ouch
their corruption is really showing this year
like damn.. i guess its over 50 mil... ontop of what he allready got
I like how qatar just lost their first match lol
like, they're only there because they host
they're shit at the actual sport
i thought they just bought a few teams
yup
supporters would get payed to go there if they said nice things about em on the internet 😛
yea.. what a joke
but I can't imagine anyone watching football sober
it's soccer
no it's not
because socks are prominent in the sport
yes a lot more prominent than feet touching balls
american football is just rugby stepped up a few notches
sure england was the first place a ball got kicked
ahh, yes, revolution in england
just starting a european-style football after-party
americans are just terrible at football
americans are just terrible at football
nah they aint that bad
look, we have our problems, but we also have nukes and a big military, got a problem with that?
yeah a little
Viva la revolucion
An excellent series from my childhood
Well preteen years
the next american civil war is gunna be crazy
it won't be very civil
It’s gonna be funny is what it’s gonna be
not sure if funny is the word I would use for any war
Despite what the media portrays Americans are largely nonviolent
native americans right? 🙂
People get angry here and go over the top but most people are truly of a mindset to just commit violence to get their way
the media often confuses us with armenians, doesn't it?
lol
They make it seem as if you just have to constantly fear for your life and safety if you leave the house
ive seen escape from LA.. its sorta like that right?
It’s more like lethal weapon
this wouldn't happen if we built walls around america 😮💨 /s
glad that belgium is on that list though
represent
Like I said people get angry and go over the top that doesn’t mean everyone is just crazy
I only know americans from lounge... they all seem pretty messed up 😄
I’ve seen more talking about shooting people than actual shooting. And I live in Detroit
@proud jay somehow belgium is closer to france than netherlands
must be mostly french speaking doin the shooting
Now break it down by city >.> I bet something about 10 cities are responsible for about 80% of those
yep, mostly democrat cities
That and there’s lots of politics involved
I'm 90% sure that like 90% of shootings in belgium are antwerp or brussels
Ollie north, is definitely responsible for a lot of the gun violence in America
I know belgium is south of here.. thats about it
proud to be drug import capital of the world 💪
its so divided in america
And too often statistics count suicides and self-defense cases as intentional homicides/murders.
import me
we are the producers
dream team
if you are different and say different you get very much attacks
Absolutely. It's their goal 🙃
You can’t really blame one side or the other, they’ve done a real good job at convincing people dems and repubs aren’t playing the same game
Correct
I know some1 from Denmark... bet none of you know a denmarkian
that's why I consider myself a moderate, an extremist by either side
yes Denmark is a country
I mean, biggest cities are democratic, and big cities always attract shit
it has verry little to make it stand out from other countries
and then they try to dictate terms to rural areas that are completely useless or detrimental
it has the little mermaid
thats disney
Denmarkinites
it has disneyland
I think they can make their own laws on their property though
they made some shady deal
they can also legally print disney dollars because of that
They got big money, they can do whatever they want honestly.

That’s what happens when your two sources of tax dollars are drugs and entertainment (Florida)
Aren't most big cities democratic anyways? Kinda biased
well yes, but that's not cherrypicking statistics in a way I feel suits my purposes
Regardless of any of that you can trace the issues in major cities down to a lot of things and most of them have nothing to do with political affiliation
money is usually the key thing in the equation
isn't pretty much every casino/playhall/etc. doing the same?
nope!
those are tokens, exchangable for money
technical difference
if chips were usable to purchase items, then it's currency
And the most important part of it, if you try to launder money you have a paper trail going back to you
Or someone you have contact with
how?
So my local weed dispensary started asking for tips during checkout. LOL it's just a store bro you didn't do anything! 🤣
It’s the equivalent to the grocery store asking you to donate to charities at the end of checkout so they can keep more of their profits because of tax write offs
Or even worse donating to charities they have a stake in
shouldn't you be the one who gets tips (pun intended) & papers
wait...
did they actually ask "how about tips?" then you might got them wrong 😄
It was on the hand held payment processor, 15%, 18% 20% TIP...... LOL WHAT?
the big question is if they're being paid the tipped employee minimum or not
very true
btw, if you consider how many guns the other countries have the us is pretty much the most peaceful
guns obv aren't good though, but it's kinda shameful to compare with other countries so they can feel proud of themselves
united states has 33 times more guns than canada
no but like
^this
?
I am denying the fact that the US is uncivilized
its shameful to even pull out that list all together
to insult 300m ppl
yea kinda just proves the point more thwan anything correlating amount of guns to homicides
which shows it is a problem
Finland has the highest per capita firearm ownership on the planet.
sorry for owning a gun at 17 when I don't even support civillian gun ownership
😴
did you not see the reply I quoted? Or will you keep bringing up the same thing
I promise you if the US wasn't on that list it would've never even been brought up
like lets be honest here
you're missing the point, it was brought up to sham the us
?
Laura be honest
would you have posted that picture if the United States wasn't on it
pointless insults dont bring change
i shouldn't have replied to you tbh, I replied to it bc the I saw the person said that all americans they've known are messed up in the head
ok
ever been wrong before?
@ionic flame refer to this everytime you send a message
it's just a rant
im not about to invade their country
you're the issue
you're gaslighting one thing I said that was obviously wrongf
cap
you had me blocked before this convo
for whatever reason
im gonna
go back to
Rider
IDE
I'll work on it
Leaving Unreal Slackers for like 2 months works for me 
The perfect soldier attitude?!
happy holidays my lovelies ❤️ 😘 💋
YEAH LEAVE YOU DAMN JERK
never too early to celebrate the holidays
for me its 420 every day
should explain more then some imho

I'm this close to pressing the magic button
Why this of course
aww that fills me with warm holiday cheer
the more productive button sequence we were looking for was win + X > let go > press U twice
I was about to make laws of thermodynamic joke, but remembered science is not everyone's cup of tea coffee
Coffee is real

Hopefully it never comes to that
Copy that, Bravo Six.
Gah, I'm sucked at US military jargon (or military jargons in general)
Clearly you have broken from reali-tea.
This exchange reminded me of an episode of true life from like 2009
Does anyone in here use C++ for their full time job? If so what do you do?
Physics stuff, gameplay bits here and there but mostly custom editor tools
I’m fairly new in the programming world and have been trying to figure out where to branch out to once I have a “more complete” understanding of C++. Languages, frameworks, etc.
I'm not doing full-time job but when I get hired by indies its usually for #multiplayer or #gameplay-ai -- from what I can see there are a lot of demands for #gameplay-ability-system too
Not me, I used C++ on the side for doing things with Unreal
Most automation jobs I need were mainly made with Python, just because no compile times like batch files
I mean, scripting video conversion with C++ and Imgui + SDL is kinda overkill
Thanks for the responses! I’ve been digging around trying to find all the info I can just to see what directions I can possibly go as a career change.
#career-chat then?
Otherwise, a good chair is a must to use in any full time jobs.
Didn’t see they had a channel for that. Figured I’d ask in lounge. I’ll go check it out.
Like chair made of swords?
embedded assembly is fun
not my kink, but I'm no shaming
(A chair of swords is) An actual reason to wear studded leather.
tfw the whole behaviour of an endpoint changes because someone used a Debug.Assert to check for something but that is not compiled in release
very sad
Stuff happens
I remember me and Luos said he wanted a graphic remake of secret of mana
Turns out that already happened
And IMO kinda meh one that is
Also Trials of Mana remake, made in UE4, but damn, the FOV was so narrow, and the VA direction for the English dub....
Yikes

I was playing the demo on PS4, and man, it was unpleasant.
Japanese VA is so much more bearable, but the narrow FOV makes me dizzy, it's like even lower than 60
At least the PC version seem to be moddable to increase the FOV to a more reasonable number
Curious, what are your thoughts on shenmue
more like shenwho amirite
I don't play Shenmue though, only heard in passing.
I think it’s worth checking out although it’s something you gotta play from the first one to know what’s going on
Has anyone played lagrange point on the famicom?
Not getting far, but the sound chip is one of a kind, literally
Only official use of the VRC7 SPU
Indeed, i always found it cool that they did that
At least homebrew composers gave it a new life
In all honesty I feel like that would be a game that could use a high fidelity remake
What would be nice is if the industry actually did high fidelity remakes (not reboots) and avoided infesting them with MTX or changing core things. Like when they said they were remaking FF7 I was excited. Then they changed the combat and it wasn't the same game anymore. Then they split it into 3 games so you can't even finish the game without waiting years for the development to catch up. May as well have made it a live service with "Pay per character".
Anyway..... games industry eh. pfft
I actually liked FF7R, fight me 
I have to say one remake to come out was most excellent which is Diablo 2 Resurrected. They absolutely nailed it because they never touched the underlying code. They simply created a new render pass for the graphics. However since they launched the Ladder Seasons, they have changed some things that made the game better
I would but you will have to wait and I only fight turn based. None of that pseudo timed crap :p
Screw that, I'll go with realtime combat all the way
I'm also looking forward to FF16 with fully realtime combat
If the FF7r game was a sequel I'd probably like it more. But for me if you destroy what made the gameplay fun then it's not the same game
Alright gramps, let's bring you to the bed to sleep
I might be 46 but that just means I'm more of a pro gamer than you and my word is sacred 😄
did you play Gotham Knights? They even managed to ruin button bashers with that game 😄
I love action realtime combat games, and also rhythm games. Even chess have some incentives for you to move forward quickly
dont get me wrong. I like the style, its just a specific case with FF7. I actually like the semi-realtime combat in FF15
Mack lol . He would crap on a dogcrap just to say how crap the dogcrap is :p

Arkham Knight combat is pretty complex eventually. Starts off simple but it does get complex as you need to learn the enemy types and organise your fights. Gotham Knights threw that out of the window and made it so you press one button for 90% of enemies, then hold that same button, or press two buttons to stop a tough guy blocking.
I like Mack's reviews but sometimes he's just a drama llama to accentuate his image for laughs and clicks. But one thing you can always rely on is he will crap on a crap game when other reviewers will take the sponsorship money and ignore the bad sides.
I get most of my reviews from Mack, LegacyKillaHD and SkillUp. Seems to cover a nice spread of opinions
I can see that 😛 But I wonder why
Dont you already know Epic has a great community team
what is ue
baby don't hurt me
Damn it.
@quasi mantle you plan on playing Callisto protocol
If it's not getting banned on the rest of the far east that is.
So far only Japan's CERO that has been reported to ban it due to high amount of gore, don't know about other regions that follow suit
But then again, CERO's bias in games is funny to begin with

I’m not really hip on the bias, enlighten me
I wanna play callisto
but it's probably gonna be too expensive
fuck the 70-80 dollar game price meta
I already rarely bought games at 60 bucks
As do I, I’m sure the price will go down before it’s a year old
In other news, Anohana had some stupid plot holes.
You can basically have ecchi/partial nudity content (e.g. girls with bikinis sometimes making weird moans and touchy interactions) allowed with little to no censorship, but bloody violence is a no go. Not even Japanese made horror titles like Resident Evil went away scot free.
The exact reverse would be the case in the west. You can have blood and gore all you want, but give some ecchi content and you'll get protested by some people.
Wait, we're talking anohana in 2022? 
if a game is £70 and it's feature complete I have no issue with that. If it's £70 and you have to pay for a battle pass, expansions, mtx, etc. Then screw that company
It’s the edo period at work so I’m not surprised
Honestly I lean on the former 
My project would have some ecchi content thrown in for fan service, but there will be some blood and careful shots of dismemberments.
did you see the new dismemberment plugin doing the rounds?
Now that I think about it, I wonder what's the CERO rating would be for FF16, considering YoshiP stepped up the violence surpassing FF Type-0
Eren mentioned it to me lol
My “baby” is Islam based so I figure that should be interesting
I think after a year I finally have a direction
left?
Edutainment?
I was considering making a dismemberment system with Niagara but work got in the way. I'm not entirely sold on these bone detatchment systems when you can sample the mesh, create a particle that can do more modifications, then hide the section, cap it if necessary and you're good to go
Maybe subliminally, but not overtly. ARPG just using Islamic roots rather than Nordic or Shinto. Muslim characters and the lot.
that's very unfortunate 😦
Also a nice gameplay feature for the Middle East that reminds you that it’s time to pray
I see 
In my case, I'm far looser than that lol, world building wise, only real life religion and mythology references would be handful of summon and item names, everything else is pretty much copying from Final Fantasy
I'm considering it a science fantasy world, so mix of both high fantasy and sci-fi
heh that reminds me when I thought it would be a great idea to sell digital watches that have a call to prayer function with a pointer on where to face Mecca. Figured it's a billion sales easy. Never did it though.
I wanted to do that or something like it, but I’m not really good at fantasy, so I’m taking the “what would happen if…” route
Muslim road warriors would definitely cling to those, if they found no nearby mosque in sight
kind of an out of date sale these days with phones tho. I mean I had this idea back in the 90's
You’d be surprised what people buy. Phones die y’know.
true
I thought if it's too close to real life elements, I could get some significant backlash with discrepancies. Hence I settled with more fictionalized world building, with few local real life politics and some mental problems thrown in
After all, I don't think many contemporary isekai stories went into the character's mental well being
The only one I can think of is .hack//sign
I’m still pretty interested to play your game it sounds like fun
On another note, I did copy Final Fantasy's pixel sprite style for my menu elements 
It's not recoloring though, I did draw the hairs and the outfit from scratch, but I did make the base body template based on FF sprites
That’s pretty cool, I’m going for something more hi-fi but maybe closer to the new FF’s but not necessarily like current gen
Not going to show my original characters yet - they weren't set on stone yet (still need to do some changes), but I do some fanart with idolmaster character (Makoto Kikuchi, of course) as a "testing ground" for the workflow on Libresprite
Yeah, especially on equipment shop menu, characters that are compatible with selected equipment would do the victory pose
I'm thinking of doing it in loading screens as well, but I haven't figure out how to get it to work reliably on MoviePlayer's Slate widget.
That’s what I was expecting. As far as the movie player widget 🫠🫠🫠 you could probably figure something out or maybe do something in editor
I mean, if all else fails, I can just ditch that layout and went with more generic throbber lol
Indeed, you definitely gotta keep me posted on the game
LinkedIn? 🤢🤮
So... turkeys genocide this Thursday, colleagues moved around some meetings.

Anyways, all the best with the upcoming journey <3
oh no... steam autumn sale has begun xD
too late, already wasted money on black friday game sales
my wallet felt this one... 70% is 70% :p
what did you buy
oreo cake it was for me
wdym
I bought that expensive movement component, curiousity got the best of me, and way too many stylized assets, and the mech stuff because someday you know everyone wants to build a mech game 🙂
wdym by unravel - already have it
unravel two is a game
but I already own it
but it's on deep sale
so steam
I thought you mean multiplayer lol
with mp
damn abbrev.
this is why you shouldnt have like 6+ projects in progress parallell so you're tempted to buy anything that fits their themes 😛
hoarding assets is blessed
yeah, real fun when something is updated and you spend half an hour figuring out what
there are some good sales, but the assets i really want are only 20% off 😭
considering that i'll never finish my project...
I have seen 15%... at that point I felt insulted and considered to not buy it
I just like buying assets for a false sense of progress in my own projects
that's sadly the other truth
I love refactoring market assets tho, its like zen gardening 👌🏻
"The Graph Gardener" was not a box office hit
yea, sometimes it's nice, sometimes it's a pita
My face most of the time, looking at the insides of mp stuff -> 😬
which is why i'm hesitated to buy stuff with logic in it
it baffles me these peoples aversion to any function, not to mention function libraries
lately i bought some mesh's which had just one face missing and stuff like that 😭
i wonder how stuff like this slips through the hands of the author
just wait until stable diffusion jumps to meshes
stable what?
ai art generation tool
But there are some already? Or you talk about 3d? Heard about one recently.
Depends on the mesh... plants e.g. have ages old research
yeah, I can imagine those lending themselves to be more procedural
also if you combine stable diffusion with a architecture 3d rule engine you could easily generate stuff
Crazy we have this technology now
It will get better, still a lot of fuzzy stuff going on.
I needed to get some ideas for scifi shopping mall, 30 seconds later
That might be nice, but if you reroll you will get most likely the same style again.
A major issue with the current ai art gen I know.
you can turn lots of knobs, change percentages, algorithms, delete parts of the image, boost certain keywords
or add a seed image
That sounds nice, but throws me back a years ago when deep learning/etc were just starting.
yea, a lot of quirks
well, its "early" but thats the scary thing, what happens when it isnt
Scary? 🤔
when studious have trained their owned models to generate exactly the kind of concept art they want
or magazine to generate cover models
book cover artists and shutter stock must be fucked. I mean they still have some business but now anyone can generate decent enough stockphotos for their article/blog
"first they came for the book cover designers..."
There is a definitely a danger for some and they should adapt I guess.
yeah, not much to do. Change is inevitable
that's what they all say
Imagine when we get stable diffusion for music, "8bit, jrpg, melancholy, Chris Huelsbeck"
Its like ... perfect amount of challenging, you get into a flow state and where there was chaos there its order. Its perfect 🙂
Meanwhile my apartment looks like two hobos had a knife fight here
tbf I mostly integrate stuff into my own libraries and throw away the rest
but refactoring a good way to understand something first
its like that game Hardspace, but for blueprints
But to extend the hardspace analogy, you'd be throwing those blueprints into the furnace where they belong.
hehe, true
I dunno, big part of writing code is knowing the problem space, definitions, potential models etc. So even really bad bps can be very helpful
big part is to fix your tools
its not over yet
YouTube title stereotype #whatever 
Cool, now make a UE scene out of it
yes
I'm not gonna ask for details. Not sure I want to know.
This is a plugin I'm working on btw
Well, there is a Discord rich presence plugin for VS
hm
For ages I was being driven into madness thinking that roguelite and roguelike were two bad pronunciations of the same genre.
Today I just found out, that no, they're just two different genres 🤦♂️
Is there a workaround for the bug on the Unreal Engine forums whereby when you want to post a thread, it tells you to use specific tags but they're not actually available for selection?
Works neither in Edge nor Firefox.
Apparently other people have had the problem too but I haven't found a solution.
how could they both be bad pronunciations? Was there a third, correct pronunciation?
No I meant one was bad pronunciation of the other, but I wasn't sure which was right.
Missed opportunity for a rouge-leaf game.
Today i learned. Madden uses unreal engine 4
The EA made one?
Yeah lol
My nephew was playing with PC gamepass, and a UE4 crash error came up
Madden NFL (known as John Madden Football until 1993) is an American football video game series developed by EA Tiburon for EA Sports. It is named after Pro Football Hall of Fame coach and commentator John Madden and sold more than 130 million copies by 2018. It is also the only officially licensed National Football League (NFL) video game serie...
I swear to god
Yeah, I thought it was a Frostbite engine game, just like other first party EA games
Steamdb files also has no sign of UE game files
Wait there must be a log on the PC
Also it might be Epic Launcher crashing, as it is a UE4 app
for the crash
hmmm
ill take a screenshot of the log tomrrow
hes sleeping right now
Either it's Epic Launcher crashing, or he's playing a bootlegged NFL game.
i dont know, he came to my door and asked me what a UE4 crash submit was, and Madden 22 was frozen
probably.
i have no idea
it was just weird
it does say Frostbite 3 tho
I was just talking about stuffing lol
we got a whole bag right here.. I want to make it so badly
lol.
Hi! I’m looking to have a future in game development. Will using Unreal provide me with the tools needed for that?
I'd say so
Ok, thank you.
Depends™️
You can pretty much do the same with Unity (which depending on where you live have more job openings right now compared to Unreal), or went with more niche engine like Godot or O3DE and score your own sales
why does cryengine not even get a dishonorable mention?
Have the last episode of ST S4 tomorrow to watch, I'm gonna be bored as hell with no Stranger Things to watch 🥲
CryEngine already cried too much

they're actual dogshit
never have I receive a package on time from them
Physical copy of R&C?
meanwhile the dutch postal service always delives to me on time or even the day before, while I'm not even in the netherlands
yeah, the new one
I also have the old one though
"old" as ps4 remaster
I also have R&C 2 for PS2 though
played the shit out of that when I was young
no 😭
just the federal one

Pretty neat thing I saw in my email
There is a MP asset which does some cool things for stealth, but unfortunately it doesn't work with lumen. Le sigh.

bruh
So the native subtitle manager didn't even expose list of active subtitle struct.
I'd love to have feature to intercept native subtitles, but this becomes impossible to do, as the delegate only gives texts.

The only next best thing is just to disable it outright
Duration, priority, to name the more common one
Engine/SubtitleManager.h had couple of structs on it
In SauceSubs case, I have speaker name, speaker color, the line, text color, duration, start delay, priority. It handles those things in its own subsystem, and the Source engine subtitles is parallel/stackable.
then why do you use the engine subtitle stuff at all?
i love how we have all that fancy nanite/lumen stuff now, but it still takes me half an hour to reimport my SKM from FBX...
like seriously epic...
I was intending to have the feature to intercept native subtitle system, so that devs having existing sound waves setup for it don't have to recreate the whole thing
also... taking 50GB of memory for the FBX import
what the fu** is wrong with this thing -.-
I mean, it doesn't carry much data that can use SauceSubs to full extent, but I was expecting at least the duration to be exposed, but nope.
and saucesub doesn't provide a way to hook meaningful into the existing system?
The native system does have exposed delegate, but it only carry FText reference. Reading it as is would be against the point of parallel subtitles the plugin have to offer, and the native system only keep the other information to itself.
i mean, that SauceSub would pickup the engines subtitle data
Yeah, no, I'm going to shelve it for a while, and just prevent native system to print something in the meantime
Maybe once I get around tracing the way it creates subtitles and hope for an exposed delegate or something
For now, you gotta do the way SauceSubs expects, using its own struct.
@gloomy pulsar A bit random - but are there any plans for HLL to have PC/Console crossplay or do ya'll plan on just keeping it console crossplay only?
Console only yeah
Darn. I understand though.
guys can i ask an out of lounge question? 😄 about coding
I am thinking about coding a single Character class in my game that can be a player and an NPC at the same time
basicly i want to reuse the same code
is that even a smart idea?
Or should i split player and npcs?
i could use components to unhook ai stuff
Japan doing some heroes
when unpossesed i want them top be ai
like
shoot each other
shoot the player
i already made a test project
and it seems to work fine
its nothing i have ever done before
scary
AIC?
controller ai
i see!!!!!!
thanks i will wtch some tutorials
posessed actors, terrifying
pro-tip: You dont need to learn behaviour trees if your game doesnt have any enemies 😉
or npcs. or life.
but what if I want my AIs to shamble around and interact with the environment in unscripted ways?
spike the punch at your next work party
oh man, that'll be hard...
they don't serve punch, just beer, whine, and mixed drinks
anyone good with blender? How do i make these lines smoother, more rounded
This is sorta kinda some of the reason behind having the Pawn/Controller split. So you're on the right track 😅
🙂
i need to figure out nav proxies now
so that my ai can jump UP
currently it only goes down
Fairly straight forward honestly.
If I recall correctly, there is a bidirectional option in the nav link
more subdivisions, bevels, zoom out really far
yes but the AI doesnt jump
Also, definitely check out #gameplay-ai. Epic AI devs are actually active there.
i need to get it to jump
ill try bervals, ill google it thanks
right click - shade smooth
oh yeah, then go into ..uh.. one of the settings somewhere and look for Auto Smooth, turn on
I forget where it is
Auto Smooth can be finicky
I aaalways turn it on
nav link proxies are something I never worked with before but I keep seeing people complaining about it doesnt work at #gameplay-ai
Shade smooth as MOA said. Pointless to do that with geometry
i wonder if that's a bug or everyone is too low level to figure it out
🙂
UX issue
Oob, nice! Pics?
it's water ripple so i guess we will need a gif or video
unless it also means something else in the engine
that's ripple yes !
windows->power->off
ctrl-a, delete, ctrl-s, alt-f4, y, enter, enter
great for essays and reports
not sure which is useful and which is bad
type something in your favorite word processor and try it
ideally save the document first
good point...
ctrl-a, ctrl-x, space, ctrl-a, ctrl-c, ctrl-s, alt-f4, y, enter, enter
Smhh
What's the y enter enter for? The quit dialog?
can't believe you wrote something to even get rid of clipboard lol
and open something else to confuse matters
i am guessing alt f4 switches ?
ahk script it on a timer
or turns off
instructions unclear.. i just hot reloaded
alt-f4 is close
the window or windows ?
the program
Good for you
I have to make them without using mesh distance field, because it is banned from working on Intel GPUs 
You mean the mesh DF thing?
why care about intel gpus at 2022 
distance fields for meshes yes
because intel was working on it yeah? it was about to be out
maybe by next year
Yeah, it's a problem for me, as I cater for lowspec hardware, and I want visual consistency even in lowspec. And it's banned on engine code, not RHI specific
if i use DF will any of my users ever have problems?
intel gonna distribute new gpu?
ah, so we are talking about different gpu
nope
i think so, let me double check
Catering for low spec hardware, and who knows if Intel dedicated GPU got affected as well
I don't think the whole game works on lowspec anyway
*Nintendo Switch
uh.. i regret to believe switch is a real platform
yee i am making a game for 2025
its basically a mobile phone
rtx 2070 as base gpu ref
I have an ibm ps/2 in storage
I believe Switch and Xbox Series S is a real platform
#justiceforlowspec
i see something called intel arc and iris or something, idk it says those are dedicated gpu
switch is literally a phone mobile though
you would.... sacrifice a lot to run UE on its CPU
It's stronger than mobile phones at the same price points
And I do determined to get it running on the Switch.
I researched PS4's cpu architecture a lot and its alone giving me nightmares (no joke), i cant imagine switch
they say if you aim for the stars you will atleast hug the clouds, so go for it! i guess, but if it's too much, maybe drop it
i actually know the guy who ported Witcher 3 to switch
I wanna ask him about his experiences one day
Eren having all the connections in the world 👀
Thankfully my project is made with lowspec optimizations in mind 
While also trying to get good 3D visuals
and still not connecting to me 😔
@inland oriole oh hi btw
can I DM you about something?
Yeah sure 🙂
my code broke
😦
my water broke too
tbh i prefer it being fast and cool when playing anything even if it looks trash, if you can make it look good enough, all great !
omg my baby is coming
i'd like to keep my sanity
i am gonna be a mum of a wonderful foodbaby
My volumetric cloud material took less than 2ms to render on low spec Intel HD (and I have around 33 ms frame budget to go for Intel HD potatoes)
If lowest denominator can get good result, higher denominators can benefit from it.
Eren is writing an entire essay, I'm scared xD
yes!
it's okay, hug him to scare him off
no more gif i guess 😔
it works btw
if you scare me enough I can block you
I have yet to finish my low level compute shader fluid sim 
it keeps flickering
it is said people fear the unknown, we just need to know each other better ✨
are you on intel graphics by any chance
or whatever it was banned on
Actually funny story, I tested UIWS in Intel HD, it flickers lol
well you made a glichy water shader, sounds like a win
Though UIWS doesn't use lower level .usf files
uiws ..?
marketplace plugin i guess
Universal Interactive Water System (I think)
It's an expensive water plugin that went free for the month long ago
Shaders are weird honestly, they are all extremely specific in general and complicated lol.
If I had to approach it, I'd probably stay with simpler points rippling.
Might not be accurate, but at least not requiring mesh DF
the best approach tobh
would be to decipher epics water
they have a ripple component.
You know what would have been even better... Epic not tying their water system with landscapes
this tbh
It might be great for large scale water bodies, but doesn't scale well to smaller size, like puddles or in bathtubs
I mean, you gotta give some technical excuse to justify a bathtub pondering scene
voxel water for voxelotls?
To be fair Fortnite doesn't have small scale puddles or waters contained in props
you can disable "affects landscape" in water bodies?!
Sometimes feature implementation in UE is determined by how Fortnite's going to make use of it.
But it requires landscape/landmass to work at all
ok, wasn't aware of that
so, if you request puddle for fortnight, it will come to ue as well ?!
Probably, but I'm a casual Fortnite player
Besides, once I renew my subscription, I'd play FF14 more over Fortnite
wait what subscription
FF14
ff14 is a subscription based game?
Also Fortnite in Asia/Oceania server is less chaotic than NA/EU servers
just like twitter ?
Yeah, it's a subscription based critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV that's resuming sales which latest expansion has just been dubbed the most successful Final Fantasy game in the last two decades with a free trial all the way til' award-winning expansion Heavensward and level 60 with no restrictions on playtime
i didn't know games were also subscription based, that's kinda nice way to milk long term players and reduce costs for new ones i guess
it would also make you want to play more since the subscription could end or something
Also FF14 is free from shitty mobile monetization schemes, as subscribers already making up the profit.
Yeah, I'd rather sub to FF14 than gambling on Genshin Impact
so, you don't know WoW, EVE, and basically 90% of the most popular MMOs?
For around $15 a month you get contents you know you will get, not spending hundreds of dollars gambling on uncertain items.
Sane product vs "let me rob ya"
Even the only gacha game I play (because it's cosmetic only so F2P is not too bad) had the 10 pull gacha the same price as current gen AAA game, and you may not getting the costume for that week.
I haven't done the math, but I'm sure Genshin's gacha is far more brutal considering it actually affect gameplay.
so it has no forced pay2win schemes huh? cool cool
i.. I don't play anything
gambling addiction is so bad in the east
"You want Keqing in your party lineup? You want to buff your existing characters? Pay hundreds of dollars and you may not getting them anytime soon."
and if you don't have the chars you would straight up lose
It's just so bullshit that I quit playing a month after its initial run
know != play
I don't play WoW or really any MMO, although I played eve for years
then.. i actually don't know the fullforms of what you mentioned so 😅
Unless you excessively grind for it
Even local gamedevs were passionately talking about gacha, and I'm like "not this crap again" 
I played WoW for years. Was good times. Quit when it stopped being good times just over 10 years ago!
No wonder some local SP games felt meh
it's easy for devs, and players love it, no one seems to be loosing
can't be helped
Most likely
Genshin Impact early on was barren empty, aside from the hometown Monstadt or something, then visiting neigboring chinatown Liyue was empty, aside from peds doing their own thing
And the time I played it until I quit not long after, it was boring, with shoddy Indonesian translations (as a native I felt irked by this), bland story, and characters that felt like cardboard cutouts.
... i haven't played it either xD but i see !
i thought genshin was more about the action
Except the players lose. They are unlikely to consider a $1 cost as significant, nor keep track of the 100 they've purchased today alone. They, having not yet gotten the tantalizing prize after spending so much, keep chasing the sunk cost.
No, the action was just sugar coating at best
but once they get it they feel happy and special because many others don't have it, they feel like they won 😭 poor fellows
"I won, but at what cost?"
or they're somewhat satisfied because now they can possibly get competitive
oh yeah ..
Even cosmetic only can get competitive - case in point, screenshots.
have you played gacha game before, kor?
and if they don't have the player skill to, they have to chase the next shiny, it can't possibly be that they just need to get good, look at all the shiny loot
I'm not kidding when I say you can get a full price AAA release for current-gen with the same amount you'd spend on gacha items (and not even guaranteed to win one from that spending).
eh, kinda? world of warships and world of tanks do loot crate stuff, as does diablo immortal
How brutal do western gacha fares from those games?
for the top players i have heard it's all about who spends more, in those
man, that's kinda terrifying
those sound like they would be more fair in terms of gacha compared to genshin stuff
:game_die: 2, 2
2,2 huh, that sounds like an occasion to group hug
Using the game I played as an example, assuming one aims for SSR grade cards as it gives costumes:
- 1 pull costs 250, but you're more likely getting R grade cards which doesn't worth much practically
- 10 pull costs around 2500 in game jewels, increasing permutation for SSR grade cards
- You may whale for $70 for around 2500 in game jewels
- You may get the SSR grade cards from that pull, but it can be duplicate of what you already have
- There is a pity system which allows you to choose whatever SSR cards available, and practically cost 75000 jewels, as it takes 300 pull tokens
- If you whale all the way and not getting what you want, the pity system practically costs around... get this... ||$2100||
This isn't worst example per se, as what it gives are cosmetics only and may spice up your screenshots, but I'd imagine more brutal gachas can costs lot more to get intended items
Let that sink in. Good night.
that's harsh
night night

@cursive crypt

tfw you hack something quick and haunts you years later
Works as intended, very greatful 🙂
I could not figure a way to get fbx/obj to heightmap

Maybe this is useful to someone out there https://www.humblebundle.com/software/unreal-engine-ultimate-game-dev-assets-software
i want a discount
also i want a crabgirl with udders
otherwize no sale
That sounds udderly clawful.
yea its udder crap
but im just not into the whole catgirl thing
it has to be crab with udders
girl is just optional
i like cars.. it could be an udder crab car
but it has to go sideways more like a crab than a car
crabs walk sideways, its really cool!
which is neat, so you can walk with your crab girlfriend and always keep eye contact
somehow wholesome
this didn't work the other day
wonder why it does now oO
i thought the server might have disabled gifs with some keywords
it's just discord being discord
Makoto Ichinose was about to say something about my discount untill i started talking about udder crab girls 🙂
he got inspired now
MJ's interpretation of crabgirls lol
udder 😛
A distinct lack of udders.
too zoomed in
I had to google what it means and I think I'm not gonna be including it in the prompt 😆
i wish you hadn't and prompted it and then realized it
oh lmao
I never even realized it, it always looked like just a crab to me
i made it myself... no AI or anything
that's dedication
ye... its not like a real artist is gunna make something like it..
Oh no
I'm disappointed that #2's necktie ribbon isn't a crab.
learn something new every day 😄
lol
you not native english?
Nope
Did you learn English from the animals?
udders are not a bad word.. you can touch em if you like 😄
Oh, that's what you meant.
wtf @ #4
1st grid?
2nd.
1 and 3 are awwsome
cyberpunk rabbit crab girl.
its like a crab umbrella
Nice... now I have a whole bunch of crabgirls on my profile lol
its gunna be the next thing
It might 🙈
Oh I like these
Gonna post the whole collection later in #generative-ai
Ai made this?
This technology is really advancing at this point
It's been months
yeah, Midjourney
Crazy
I joined this server in may and I was like "yeah I guess an ai could've made this sure", but now this is just crazy at this point
it doesnt mess up on the eyes as much anymore
that looks like pivot painter stuff it totally cant do 😛
looks like im not in the midjourney discord anymore
😂
1st two actually look like they could pass off an an au
4th one looks like a VR chat skin, then the 3rd one is casually just god of war sans final boss
some could say good as world cup is going so ' Players wearing ⚽ as helmets what have face^
Ouch, Midjourney makes Discord lags like a snail
yes, but whre is my discount? .. and my uddercrab girl?
How much discount do you want? We'll work out the sale scumming price just for you.
does anyone else here sneak in unreal dev while at work?
Used to do that with a webdev intern gig, immediately regretted it because HTML5 export was so unreliable
It's a good thing Epic got rid of it completely, the whole thing was a mess
If only people know how trainwreck it was before whining about it being removed for good (in favor of Pixel Streaming) on social media
bp nativize wasnt terrible.. just unpredictable
it worked fine for heavy math BPs
You mean a Tesla?
thats not a car.. thats a doggycoin advertizement
j/k.. i like elec car... i like rockets.. not a big fan of elon tho
How dare you speaking bad about the finest engineering pioneered by our visionary and genius lord and savior Elon Reeves Musk 😤
Personally I would pick one of those 4 door Nissan EVs (need some space to carry computers and packed drum kits) and maybe itasha the crap out of it 
actually have a friend that went deep into the elon cult shit when tesla said it bought cars for btc... he is down a shit ton now
hw was all like i got money u can program... build me a thing that buys crypto when elon tweets...
How about the electron rocket?
i told him i can do that but in the end you have crypto and no money and thats a bad idea
I keep reminding myself Elon getting into anime stuff is disingenuous
crypto suicide is gunna be in the dictionary 2023
shit gunna tank hard once theter tanks... and it will
like im subtle about it... i dont know the future... but ppl say they believe in the tech ... but they dont own any google
and google actually has tech
ppl said... its getting more expensice too mine so it will be worth more.... dollar inflation and crypto no inflation so worth more
war un ukraine... super more expensive too mine.... inflation super high.... crypto tanks hard 😄
elon buys dodge with anom account... buys dodge with public account and says its to help poor ppl while he dumps with his anom accout 😄
ppl believe that shit
he said he buys dodge to help poor ppl! 😄
its more of the same
I do and im fine 🙂
got my bucket of silver and some other things going for me :)\
i expect the value of my house goin 50% next year tho... but it been goin up like crazy for years now
i could rent it out for 2 years and have initial payed for atm
bubbles everywhere
but seriously i think the odds of tether goin down next year are verry high and it will take every coin with it
true.. it wil be worse B4 it gets better
im not against defi but as it is its just pyramid ponzy shit
if crypto dies tomorrow a bunch of ppl wil jump from a building .... if google burns their assets tomorrow... the world wil burn
and they were valued the same no too long ago
and still close
its the same
ppl work for it
crypto has debt
and the debt has to get paid soon
it was not meant to be like this but it became like this anyways
plz read any public traded mining farm financial statement and see what their assets are
i did and sorta made bank
its all loans backed by btc
Just venting. All i know is my cervical spine damage is so awful today 😦 I wish My c3, c4 disc in my spine never Herniated.. I am in such god awful pain today and ppain killers are doing nothing.
can you tell if it's healing?
Nope i went to physical theorpy today, the guy pushed on my muscle on my spine and my whole arm is completely numb and in pain because of it.
is that from hard labour or sitting?
I just hope i make it thru this with out surgery.
Hard Labor i worked at fed ex in the warehouse lifting boxes all night long
it really sucks.
i never endured such pain.
never thought one could actually be in this much pain lol
Only EVs I currently like are porsche taycan and this one
know a girl that had a bad back and had to lie flat for 6 month when she was 16
the double S thing or something
i dont recall
Yeah, I'm grabbing what's available in my country already (and left lane / right side driver ones)
From my searching it's either the tiny Wuling ones or the Nissan ones
I wish i could even do this tbh
i cant sit, i cant lay
i have an E bike... its great!
