Despite what the media portrays Americans are largely nonviolent

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?

@proud jay somehow belgium is closer to france than netherlands

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

how?

steel summit
#

So my local weed dispensary started asking for tips during checkout. LOL it's just a store bro you didn't do anything! 🤣

thin aspen
#

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

celest musk
#

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?

celest musk
#

holy...

#

20% ??? 😄

primal summit

the big question is if they're being paid the tipped employee minimum or not

rugged jetty

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

#

I am denying the fact that the US is uncivilized

#

its shameful to even pull out that list all together

to insult 300m ppl

rugged jetty

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.

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

I remember me and Luos said he wanted a graphic remake of secret of mana

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

They did a seiken densetsu 3 remake?

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

fathom wadi
#

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

quasi mantle
fathom wadi
#

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

fathom wadi

#

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

Mack lol . He would crap on a dogcrap just to say how crap the dogcrap is :p

rancid sun
fathom wadi
#

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.

@quasi mantle you plan on playing Callisto protocol

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

I wanna play callisto

but it's probably gonna be too expensive

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.

quasi mantle
# thin aspen I’m not really hip on the bias, enlighten me

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.

thin aspen

Is this what just happened?

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

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.

there are some good sales, but the assets i really want are only 20% off 😭

considering that i'll never finish my project...

ohhh, 20% is the cruelest

15% is like "fuck off!"" 30% - "Well, I neeeeed it"

cursive crypt

I have seen 15%... at that point I felt insulted and considered to not buy it

i wonder how stuff like this slips through the hands of the author

robust shale

just wait until stable diffusion jumps to meshes

cursive crypt

stable what?

robust shale
#

ai art generation tool

cursive crypt

But there are some already? Or you talk about 3d? Heard about one recently.

robust shale

there's no super easy way to generate meshes yet afaik, but its coming

#

(afaik)Ö

cursive crypt
#

Depends on the mesh... plants e.g. have ages old research

robust shale
#

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

cursive crypt
#

It will get better, still a lot of fuzzy stuff going on.

robust shale
#

I needed to get some ideas for scifi shopping mall, 30 seconds later

cursive crypt
#

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.

robust shale
#

you can turn lots of knobs, change percentages, algorithms, delete parts of the image, boost certain keywords

#

or add a seed image

cursive crypt
#

That sounds nice, but throws me back a years ago when deep learning/etc were just starting.

#

yea, a lot of quirks

robust shale
#

well, its "early" but thats the scary thing, what happens when it isnt

cursive crypt
#

Scary? 🤔

robust shale
#

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

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

celest musk
#

informations

#

like who is speaking

quasi mantle
#

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.

celest musk
#

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...

quasi mantle
celest musk
#

also... taking 50GB of memory for the FBX import

#

what the fu** is wrong with this thing -.-

quasi mantle
#

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.

celest musk
#

and saucesub doesn't provide a way to hook meaningful into the existing system?

quasi mantle
celest musk
#

i mean, that SauceSub would pickup the engines subtitle data

quasi mantle
#

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.

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

If I had to approach it, I'd probably stay with simpler points rippling.

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

quasi mantle

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

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

2,2 huh, that sounds like an occasion to group hug

quasi mantle
# deep copper man, that's kinda terrifying

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.
