aaaaaaaaaaaaa

quasi mantle
#

I can't remember the full NL name

proud jay
#

Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie

#

united east indian company

timber viper
#

did you know there are bars named "turkish head" in northern europe just because of that crusade

proud jay
#

code name, yoinky sploinky stealing everything from easter countries

timber viper
#

you could trade a cut off head with a beer

#

some bars still exist in UK and NL

proud jay
#

that's expensive

#

I would expect at least 5 beers for a head

thin aspen
#

The west Dutch trade was far more detrimental, in my personal opinion

quasi mantle
timber viper
#

or at least for a while

thin aspen
#

There’s a samurai champloo episode about it

timber viper
thin aspen
#

I almost made an inappropriate joke

honest siren
#

very intellectual chat 🙂

timber viper
#

i use all my 3 brain cells

proud jay
#

WIC was shit compared to VOC

thin aspen
#

Woman infants and children?

proud jay
#

VOC was a world power

#

West indian company

thin aspen
#

Woah dieter that was kinda harsh

honest siren
quasi mantle
proud jay
#

you just hate the WIC cause they colonised murica

thin aspen
#

Uhh

#

Not exactly

timber viper
#

WIC colonised murica? Thonk

#

oh yeah they did

#

south part iirc

thin aspen
#

They definitely were involved in the people moving trade

proud jay
#

yeah but so was VOC lol

timber viper
#

i think Dutch was mostly active at pacific

proud jay
#

on a lot larger scale

timber viper
#

and lower parts of africa

quasi mantle
#

Northern america was more of British' job, isn't it?

thin aspen
#

I’m not a fan of either is basically what I’m getting at, if I had to pick a side or something

#

Innit*

timber viper
proud jay
#

new york used to be new amsterdam, doesn't sound very bri'ish to me

quasi mantle
proud jay
#

VOC was the biggest private company in the whole world at the time

#

one of the most valuable companies in the entire history of the world tbh

timber viper
#

funny thing is now you can get more influence over world by only selling phones

proud jay
#

apple was not around in the 16th and 17th century unfortunately

timber viper
#

East Dutch Company

thin aspen
#

You can get influence by selling dreams nowadays

proud jay
#

tim apple wasn't even born yet

#

how would it be possible 🤔

deep copper
proud jay
#

he's my son

deep copper
#

did you see him being born?

proud jay
#

yes

deep copper
#

ah understandable

honest siren
deep copper
#

so that's why you are special

thin aspen
#

Pictures or didn’t happen

proud jay

timber viper
#

oh wow just checked linkedin to see dieters surname and seems like rendering engineer at ea games accepted my connection request thingken

thin aspen
#

Dieter works at EA confirmed

proud jay
#

I actually do know a Dieter that works at EA

#

or used to at least, idk what he does now

honest siren
thin aspen
#

Yeah it’s you

proud jay
#

not me 😢

deep copper
#

dieter orangetree

#

or dieter applebranch

thin aspen
#

It’s probably his cousin or something

#

Dieter Sometimes spelled diede Pineapplegrove

proud jay
#

wait lol

#

I was wrong

#

his name is Diede, not Dieter

#

It's been a while since I've seen him lol

#

works at frostbite

thin aspen
#

He’s just trying to throw us off the scent

deep copper
#

so "die" is common

thin aspen
#

Well yeah everyone dies

timber viper
#

i both heard awesome and terrible things about frostbite

deep copper
#

it dies people?

timber viper
#

somehow only people previously worked at frostbite says terrible things

#

but people currently working at ea never say bad things

#

i wonder if they are a victim of mobbing 😄

thin aspen
#

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you

honest siren
timber viper
thin aspen
#

😢 engine

honest siren
#

frostbite

#

frostbite a game engine?

thin aspen
#

Works on my computer

celest musk
#

did anyone here use cryengine?

honest siren
timber viper
#

i used only ten minutes

thin aspen
#

I’ve gone as far as looking at the docs

honest siren
#

but but at the age of 12

timber viper
#

i was around 15 too

celest musk
#

well... are you 13 now?

honest siren
#

cryengine 3

celest musk
#

12 years ago?! Oo

timber viper
#

were you trying to mod crysis

celest musk
#

didn't knew that it was public available back then

honest siren
#

I downloaded it to make a game when it first went public

quasi mantle
#

CryEngine looks good but doesn't seem to be as malleable as UE is

deep copper
#

noted

proud jay
#

also, you need 7 high end pc's connected through the matrix to run CryEngine

#

that's mainly what held CryEngine back I think

#

performance just being absolute shit

deep copper
#

you mean the scary name wasn't the reason?

timber viper
#

cryengine had something like lumen before lumen ever existed

#

its graphic engineers must be really something

thin aspen
#

I would expect that from an engine with a focus on rendering high quality images

quasi mantle
deep copper
#

no wonder it was too demanding

timber viper
#

i think it didnt have reflection though

quasi mantle
#

Can it run Crysis?
2007 hardware bowed down to it

timber viper
#

assuming from lua and editor

honest siren
#

cryengine 3 public version is just level editor

quasi mantle
proud jay
#

it is what made unreal unreal though

timber viper
#

BP was probably also last minute decision

proud jay
#

it has grown tremendously since going "open source"

timber viper
#

there are hints in comments that kismet2 was actually a thing rather than BP and level-editor only graph instead of complete scripting language support

#

and tim said they were going to create a text based scripting language instead

ancient ingot
#

Wheres Laura

quasi mantle
proud jay
timber viper
#

then comments are sooo ancient

ancient ingot
#

nooooooooo 😭

honest siren
#

It would be much better for me if it was C# instead of bp. c++ and c# both

timber viper
#

BP is nice, its just we need a new VM to run it

quasi mantle
#

Ugh, C#

timber viper
#

its utterly slow

#

and for loops are impossible to nativize

honest siren
#

I guess visual programming is not for me

quasi mantle
#

Granted I come from C/C++

#

First touching it since 2009

timber viper
proud jay
#

I come from c++

#

c# is bae

timber viper
#

C++ -> Text based scripting -> visual scripting

proud jay
#

c++ is nice, but if you need to be productive, c# is better

thin aspen
#

C# is just c++++

timber viper
#

without templates

quasi mantle
proud jay
#

it has generics

#

it's something

timber viper
#

it also ruins workflow

honest siren
#

C++ should be used more in the backend. I think C# is good for gameplay scripting

thin aspen
#

Muh Roblox

ancient ingot
#

C# sucks lollipops

quasi mantle
timber viper
thin aspen
#

ryobg disagrees with you all

quasi mantle
#

Unpopular opinion: Gmod is just adult version of roblox

#

And by adult I mean adult by age number

proud jay
#

it still baffles me that roblox is a thing

#

it legit looks like ass

#

the quality is close to 0

#

but somehow having a baby audience + customization makes it boom

timber viper
#

roblox api is abomination though

thin aspen
#

People like pretending that’s probably as deep as we need to go

proud jay
#

have you guys seen the walmart metaverse in roblox lol

honest siren
#

someone offered me $1000 to make a game for him on roblox 😄

proud jay
#

that shit is pathetically hilarious

quasi mantle
#

Roblox devs are unhinged

proud jay
#

how long until official Fortnite VR boys

thin aspen
#

In my day we had RuneScape and that’s all we needed

quasi mantle
#

I mean, yeah, young children not having more capacity for critical thinking, but still unhinged

Rest in peace, VIP mode, we barely knew ya

fleet tangle
#

Never played the game, but still.

quasi mantle
#

I don't think VIP mode is even present in CS Source

proud jay

no one is important

fleet tangle
#

VIP mode was fun.

thin aspen

VUIP amirite

fleet tangle

I managed to AWP a terrorists and all 4 VIPs at once, somehow, through a wall.

#

Damn that bullet penetration.

warm bloom

Roblox takes like 80% of the money toooo

#

and don't even offer shit like websockets or oauth2

terrible platform

Sorry guys

fleet tangle

It's the name of a show, "Komi can't communicate". It's on the link I posted.

honest siren
fleet tangle
#

I presumed too much.

deep copper
#

i haven't seen it either but the memes helped 💪

timber viper
#

i'm on ep4

#

pretty cool anime

proud jay
#

anyone watched chainsaw man?

timber viper
#

yep

fleet tangle
#

It is very good, Eren. Many feels.

proud jay
#

I have it downloaded legally subscribed, but haven't watched yet

fleet tangle
#

Chainsaw man is okay.

#

I don't get the omgwtf hype, though.

timber viper
#

I'd say chainsaw is "interesting"

fleet tangle
#

Just a guy with chainsaws for arms who kills demons for boobs.

timber viper
#

and its well executed compared to many anime tbh

timber viper
honest siren
#

Erens already anime

quasi mantle
proud jay
#

he collects boobs?

timber viper
thin aspen
#

She’s alive

thin aspen
#

“Mom accused of cyber bullying own daughter”

timber viper
# honest siren Oh sorry bro

no it wasnt about you - i just mean some people confuse me with Eren from AoT rather than thinking its my actual name

quasi mantle
#

Maybe once I'm done setting up my new girl for development stuff I can watch anime in tranquility again

thin aspen
#

That is a news headline I’m looking at

fleet tangle
# proud jay he collects boobs?

He's a sheltered 16 year old kid who gets enticed to do things on the promise of boobs. That's basically the premise of the first half of season 1.

proud jay
#

I mean

#

don't we all like boobs though

fleet tangle
#

Not saying I disagree with his motivations. He is 16 afterall.

thin aspen

oh no, the end is near

proud jay

thin aspen

Why do people in Australia walk upside down?

timber viper

@fleet tangle what is your fav anime

#

honest siren
#

I take a photo today and something caught my attention. What is this black thing? Cloud or Ufo?

deep copper

timber viper

let me ask differently

Favourite character? Jashin-chan!

honest siren

Also I should replay Cities Skylines

fleet tangle
timber viper
#

isnt jashi just a character that doesnt speak much and just likes to torture a snake from hell

fleet tangle
#

No.

chrome gull
timber viper
#

just watched 2 eps of it last week

fleet tangle
#

Jashin-chan is the snake woman (lamia?) from hell.

#

She's an incredible troll.

timber viper
#

ah, jashin is the snake itself

quasi mantle
timber viper
#

lol yeah she was damn funny

timber viper

her voice actor also has a pretty cool voice

chrome gull

no wonder it's highly regarded

timber viper

fleet tangle
quasi mantle
fleet tangle
chrome gull
#

the secret ending is amazing, you'll need to uninstall the game for it though

#

but it's worth it

timber viper

my favorite from your list is Code Geass

fleet tangle

quasi mantle
timber viper
chrome gull

I have a huge backlog

timber viper

the tv series with also update for cyberpunk 2077 game

cursive crypt

When the dlc?

celest musk
#

probably sometime next year

cursive crypt
#

From tomorrow onward you say?

woeful rune
celest musk
#

but well, you know CDPR, wouldn't trust any estimations 😄

woeful rune
#

i played it at launch and holy christ was it a disaster

celest musk
woeful rune
#

ok ok

soft night
unborn lotus
celest musk
#

also might want to look into modding, since there are quite a few neat mods

#

specially ingame navigation, since the map navigation sucks

#

so you get markings on the roads

cursive crypt
woeful rune
#

the launch experience was just pure awful. rushed intro with that weird montage bit, gameplay was choppy, ai didn't work, kept crashing. the cinemetics were nice tho.

#

put it down and never went back lol

unborn lotus
cursive crypt
#

Also, it has very annoying invisible walls. My roof jumps were ruined by this game.

celest musk
#

i had one crash on the whole playthrough (and had to restart the game if i played for more than 3 hours, since something probably leaked a bit of memory and performance went down after that time)

fleet tangle
woeful rune
#

ahhhh that'll do it

cursive crypt
soft night
#

it have got better well its CD project red way perhaps

woeful rune
#

cyberpunk without updates probably amounts to an early access game the developers have no intention of finishing

fleet tangle
#

Have the updates made the game fun ?

#

Or have they just fixed bugs I never cared about in the first place ?

woeful rune
#

i heard the updates fixed most glitches, rebalanced the game and the ai aren't braindead

cursive crypt
#

Afaik, there were a lot of updates needed 🙂

fleet tangle
#

So they haven't made it that different then.

woeful rune
#

so I guess it depends on how much your enjoyment was impacted by those things

fleet tangle
#

I never really encountered any game breaking glitches. I just got bored of it.

woeful rune
#

yeah for me the braindead ai and the constant crashing was what KILLED my enjoyment

#

i thought the base game itself was fun enough

fleet tangle
#

Didn't crash once!

unborn lotus
fleet tangle
#

I played the base game for maybe 20 hours or so.

celest musk
#

play a bit more then? or maybe it's just not your kind of game

#

ok, then you might have got the basics of it

unborn lotus
#

I finished the game in 25 hours 😅

woeful rune
fleet tangle
#

I tend to spend a lot of time on side quests.

cursive crypt
fleet tangle
#

It was fun enough, just not long term fun. And not fun enough to make me want to play it again, apparently.

cursive crypt
#

ngl, being a hacker was kinda OP. I felt like a god. In matter of a second or two, you drop 10 guys around.

fleet tangle
#

The biggest issue I had with it was I felt the movement was bad.

unborn lotus
fleet tangle
#

It felt janky as fuck.

cursive crypt
cursive crypt
woeful rune
#

I'm not obsessed with cinematic games but there are some games where i just wanna sit back and enjoy the sights, cyberpunk is def that game

#

in that context gameplay isn't much of an issue

cursive crypt
#

lol, cinematic gaming (we actually didn't spend much time optimising, so it is 24fps)

woeful rune
#

*when i say cinematic gaming * i just mean playing for something other that mechanical depth or strategy etc

cursive crypt
#

23 fps then

woeful rune
#

listen

#

i've played OG demon souls on the ps3

#

the sub 20 fps doesn't make it any more cinematic

quasi mantle
#

Pretty sure RPCS3 can handle Demon's Souls, doesn't seem to be as advanced technical wise as likes of MGS4

woeful rune
#

i would but I already played Demon Souls remake on the PS5

#

there's a 60fps (or is in 120? I forgot now) mode on it

oh my, that's genius

it even kills off those pesky plants you have to take care of

deep copper
#

you get max privacy and even some security

warm bloom
#

cause they don't get any natural light

deep copper
#

plants can generate their thing even in normal bulb lights i heard

warm bloom
#

has to be a specific kind of bulb

deep copper
#

though it may not be enough for super hungry plants idk

deep copper
#

let me double check first

warm bloom
#

well

deep copper
#

before someone else does

warm bloom
#

its

#

really having to do with the amount of light

#

it needssss the power

deep copper
#

A process where green plants convert light energy into chemical energy. CO2 & water are converted into glucose and oxygen. It can occur in artificial light, provided the plant receives the correct wavelength of the light spectrum.

warm bloom
#

also you need certain light spectrums I believe

deep copper
#

Can plants prepare food with Tubelight? Yes, plants can use artificial source of light for performing photosynthesis, however, the rate of photosynthesis is very low in such case

#

they will starve slowly to death

warm bloom
#

that's amazing

deep copper
#

why can't we photosynthesis, just drink water and lie around in sun

#

no more working for food

#

you can also make food while you play rgb game, and also release oxygen or whatever

Humans produce vitamin D from sunlight

deep copper

and also get skin cancer so yeah

warm bloom

nah

i am a basement dweller

just take supplements

we should honestly turn off the sun

I wonder if you could use nuclear waste for heating.
Well, of course you could.
Is there any way that a sane person would approve it?
And by "waste" I mean spent nuclear fuel rods, not slightly irradiated utensils.

hypercasual in Turkey is awesome

#

i got a job offer once and they literally told me "we dont care how you write code, only work as many hours required to finish the code you need to write and get money"

#

tl;dr you earn more than a typical senior UE gameplay programmer by writing terrible unity code for 10 hours a month

proud jay
#

that seems like it would backfire pretty quickly tbh

timber viper
#

they just need to hit n amount of ad clicks

#

game itself just needs to look good enough to download in store

proud jay
#

this is why I hate mobile games

timber viper
#

they spend $1mil on ads

#

and earn $3mil back

proud jay
#

mobile gaming space actively promotes creating garbage

timber viper
#

hypercasual studios comes with a game idea that will guarantee n number of clicks, if publisher gets convinced they give $1mil

thick oracle
#

Yes

thick oracle
#

Mobile games are just garbage, mostly

timber viper
#

so you just need to think about how to deceive people into downloading the game and clicking any ad at least just once

regal pecan

Now I'm wondering if you could make a single level for a game and release it as playable app, guaranteeing that players move from app to app to continue their progress...

you don't get paid per download

I don't know

if they would click an add to open the app

To some extent, spamming the store with apps helps with discovery. One game would get lost in the mist. Then again, so might several dozen with the same name and a "(Part 3 of 20)" append.

In this 2019 GDC talk, game developers Alex Schwartz and Ziba Scott explain how they set out to determine the lowest bar for success on App Stores. Take a fantastic tour of the weird, dark underbelly of the mobile app market, and learn what the pair discovered when they flooded the market with over 1,500 auto-generated slot machine games.

I stopped working as a gamedev and just generate AI pictures now.

Can you generate AI photos of my wedding for free

timber viper
#

can you generate AI for me

cursive crypt
#

I can for money. Free is too cheap.

stray orbit
#

How dare you.....

#

In my early video studio days, I filmed weddings... I HAVE FLASH BACKS

#

PTSD

#

I also did some photography for it on the side, but only in rare cases.

#

I kind of wish I had AI tools back then to post process the photos.

#

Would have been a super help.

#

I think the weirdest thing I ever filmed was a funeral.

#

And it was only weird because the family told me, "If anyone mourning is in your way, push them out of the way to get the shots you need."

#

And I was like.... 👀

#

So yep, I filmed a corpse... and then a burial, in -35 C weather.

I filmed everything from school spirit videos to porn (not related, thankfully) and everything in between.

I got into video randomly when someone came into my photo studio and said, "I don't need pictures, but I need someone to film something" and I was like, "Well, I don't normally film things... but I got two handy cams that I use to film photo shoots"..... and that's how it started.

#

After that, my name got around for video... so I had to buy two new video cameras, lol.

elfin glacier
#

if you want

stray orbit
#

Then I got the camera crane, etc.

deep copper
stray orbit
#

NEXT THING YOU KNOW... my business burns down.🤷‍♀️

deep copper
#

burns down?

#

litral or

stray orbit
#

Yup.

deep copper
#

metaphor

#

like up in flames

#

or no longer needed

stray orbit
#

After I started my video business... I closed my photo studio because video was way more profitable, and since I was out filming... nobody was int he studio anyway. So, I moved into a gallery and shared office space there.

#

And then one night... someone tried to break into the gallery, and it had a wooden back door... and they tried to drill through it. But, instead, started a fire from the sparks and bruned the whole place down.

deep copper
#

wth

stray orbit
#

Police said they thought they may have been after my video gear.

deep copper
#

a robbery x fire

#

did you have insurance?

#

so everything went away? crane and all 😭

stray orbit
#

Yea, the fire didn't get my film equipment because it was protected in a brick room with a steel door... but fucked all my computer gear with smoke. So, kinda put me out of business...

#

I limped along after that.... but, it wasn't the same.

deep copper
#

this is super sad, but hey those business are probably in decline now so

stray orbit
#

I wasn't even allowed to take my cameras for awhile because of the fire investigation.

deep copper
#

doesn't that make the damage worse

stray orbit
#

Insurance never did pay to replace anything; they dicked everyone over for a year, and it took lawsuits to get them to budge.

deep copper
#

did they do anything at all?

stray orbit
#

Eventually, they paid out a SMALL % of what was lost.

deep copper
#

aw 😦

stray orbit
#

After that, I never had anything to do with insurance again.

#

Just a scam.

#

Might as well keep my money.

deep copper
#

yeah i guess

#

that's such a betrayal

#

did they ever catch who did it

#

probably someone who knew there was equipment

stray orbit
#

I closed my video business just before COVID started though; so lucky timing.

deep copper
#

that's quite recent

stray orbit
#

Oh, no doubt. Because I was always there overnight.... the ONE night I wasn't there, someone tried to break in. So, they were watching.

#

And they knew what was there.

deep copper
#

but they didn't get caught even now?

#

were there no security cams etc?

stray orbit
#

Nope, the police said they knew who did it, but they had no physical evidence to prove it, so nothing.

deep copper
#

they did not take anything in the end i suppose

#

why didn't they tell who did it to you then

#

you can atleast avoid them later

stray orbit
#

They won't name anyone like that unless they can actually pin it.

deep copper
#

oof

stray orbit
#

They weren't suspects, no actual evidence.

deep copper
#

moral of the story: never share office space? never buy good equipment? never take insurance? never leave your office?

stray orbit
#

Never take insurance and never leave your office. 😄

#

I mean, I moved into newer, better, bigger office space when the gallery moved.

#

They gave me free office space.

#

So, that was a good deal.

regal pecan
#

Insurance is a business whom you pay for the privilege of having them owe you money when you need money the most.

stray orbit
#

In return, I was the "in house" graphic artist/restoration artist.... but, I kept all the profits from that work. 😄

#

They just liked being able to offer that on the spot.

#

And since had a big space then... not only did I do video work... I started a photo and sublimation printing business.🤣

#

I was very much the "risk roll" kind of person and just jump into new realms of media without thinking twice.

#

I opened a photo studio on a whim, without having ever held a camera.

#

I was like, "I'm an artist, I know framing and composition, how hard can photography be?" 😄

#

So opened a studio and learned REAL quick.

deep copper
stray orbit
#

Put all the film boys out of business, and stole some of the biggest local contracts available.

#

I wish I had half the energy as past Lillani.

#

"I got an idea, I'm gonna start a whole new business venture based on it!"

#

"I'll take the job and learn as I do it!"

#

Now I'm like.... fuuuuuuuck, can I get out of bed today?

deep copper
#

though you could've ended up doing something weird and unprofitable

stray orbit
#

When I do... I just do... I overthink nothing. Consequences mean nothing.

#

I'd rather fail 100 times than not try at least once.

you really used artists ability anywhere lol

#

and they say artists can't make money, i guess it's hard but yeah

stray orbit
#

Yup... I even made a living in Second Life for about a decade, lol.

deep copper
#

you mean that thing meta copied ?

stray orbit
#

Yeah. 😄

#

Artists can make money if they're willing to be adaptable.

deep copper
#

how do you make money there?

stray orbit
#

I used to make and sell adult content in Second Life. Adult furniture, toys, animations, etc.

deep copper
#

ah, so a mod like stuff?

stray orbit
#

I created one of the top 10 BDSM businesses in Second Life... but I sold it in 2014 to one of my friends when I got bored of it. 😄

It's netting something like 100 K / year for its owner... so pretty good.

I still do some casual work for them once in awhile.

Artist side of it.

You just gotta be willing to find your niche-- or more than one.
