I can't remember the full NL name
did you know there are bars named "turkish head" in northern europe just because of that crusade
code name, yoinky sploinky stealing everything from easter countries
The west Dutch trade was far more detrimental, in my personal opinion
I still having difficulties remembering that name lol
probably it was free beers forever
or at least for a while
There’s a samurai champloo episode about it
probably because of UK
I almost made an inappropriate joke
very intellectual chat 🙂
i use all my 3 brain cells
WIC was shit compared to VOC
Woman infants and children?
Woah dieter that was kinda harsh
i have 2
dwarf number
you just hate the WIC cause they colonised murica
They definitely were involved in the people moving trade
yeah but so was VOC lol
i think Dutch was mostly active at pacific
on a lot larger scale
and lower parts of africa
Northern america was more of British' job, isn't it?
I’m not a fan of either is basically what I’m getting at, if I had to pick a side or something
Innit*
also france
new york used to be new amsterdam, doesn't sound very bri'ish to me
which would lead to Canada
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
funny thing is now you can get more influence over world by only selling phones
apple?
apple was not around in the 16th and 17th century unfortunately
East Dutch Company
You can get influence by selling dreams nowadays
prove
how do you know?
he's my son
did you see him being born?
yes
ah understandable
Sorry, I misunderstood world at the time
so that's why you are special
Pictures or didn’t happen
my last name is appletree
Dieter appletree
And then it just got thanos snapped
Middle name: "Doens't fall far from the"
what is the fullform of VOC though
Early ancestor of John Appleseed
lies, it says Tack here
oh wow just checked linkedin to see dieters surname and seems like rendering engineer at ea games accepted my connection request 
Dieter works at EA confirmed
I actually do know a Dieter that works at EA
or used to at least, idk what he does now
you
Yeah it’s you
not me 😢
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
He’s just trying to throw us off the scent
so "die" is common
Well yeah everyone dies
i both heard awesome and terrible things about frostbite
it dies people?
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 😄
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you
I hear that they cant compile the engine

😢 engine
Works on my computer
did anyone here use cryengine?
yes me
i used only ten minutes
I’ve gone as far as looking at the docs
but but at the age of 12
i was around 15 too
well... are you 13 now?
12 years ago?! Oo
were you trying to mod crysis
didn't knew that it was public available back then
yesss
I downloaded it to make a game when it first went public
CryEngine looks good but doesn't seem to be as malleable as UE is
noted
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
you mean the scary name wasn't the reason?
cryengine had something like lumen before lumen ever existed
its graphic engineers must be really something
I would expect that from an engine with a focus on rendering high quality images
The meme would be the reason
no wonder it was too demanding
i think it didnt have reflection though
Can it run Crysis?
2007 hardware bowed down to it
assuming from lua and editor
cryengine 3 public version is just level editor
UE4 would've had SVOGI if Epic wasn't holding back and scrapped it in the last minute.
I think making UE4 public is also a last minute decision
it is what made unreal unreal though
BP was probably also last minute decision
it has grown tremendously since going "open source"
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
Wheres Laura
BP existed on their 2012 showcase video
so probably not super last minute
she died cause she went too long without a rose
then comments are sooo ancient
nooooooooo 😭
It would be much better for me if it was C# instead of bp. c++ and c# both
BP is nice, its just we need a new VM to run it
Ugh, C#
I guess visual programming is not for me
I need both
C++ -> Text based scripting -> visual scripting
c++ is nice, but if you need to be productive, c# is better
C# is just c++++
without templates
If only Lua syntaxing wasn't so punchable
its not also just bad
it also ruins workflow
C++ should be used more in the backend. I think C# is good for gameplay scripting
Muh Roblox
C# sucks lollipops
or gmod
ryobg disagrees with you all
Unpopular opinion: Gmod is just adult version of roblox
And by adult I mean adult by age number
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
roblox api is abomination though
People like pretending that’s probably as deep as we need to go
have you guys seen the walmart metaverse in roblox lol
someone offered me $1000 to make a game for him on roblox 😄
that shit is pathetically hilarious
Roblox devs are unhinged
how long until official Fortnite VR boys
In my day we had RuneScape and that’s all we needed
I mean, yeah, young children not having more capacity for critical thinking, but still unhinged
~TooSoon Days
RuneScape isn't that well known in Asia, though I remember playing quite a lot of bot matches in CS1.6
When I saw that Roblox house party where someone got shot to death and people were acting like this was a real occurrence I knew Roblox was something totally wild
All I know of CS is myg0t
member when runescape used to work in the browser
Rest in peace, VIP mode, we barely knew ya
I've seen the physical runescape servers!
Never played the game, but still.
I don't think VIP mode is even present in CS Source
no one is important
VIP mode was fun.
VUIP amirite
I managed to AWP a terrorists and all 4 VIPs at once, somehow, through a wall.
Damn that bullet penetration.
Roblox takes like 80% of the money toooo
and don't even offer shit like websockets or oauth2
terrible platform
Basic English. I wouldn't use the chat in here to learn proper grammar.
especially not the garbage Daekesh is typing /s
Runescape? Back in my day, we had MUDs.
pls nevr use ths
I just want to communicate
you need pigs to create muds
We didn’t even have dirt growing up
Is your name Komi?
Just cooled lava and water
like obsidian?
hasan abi?
Yeah basically
Wat? Do you know turkish
no
Abi?
it's a popular twitch streamer
Dieter is from Turkey after all
Oh okay
his name is Hasan Piker actually
Abi is turkish word
what does abi mean?
Hitohito Tadano is an ordinary boy who heads into his first day of high school with a clear plan: to avoid trouble and do his best to blend in with others. Unfortunately, he fails right away when he takes the seat beside the school's madonna—Shouko Komi. His peers now recognize him as someone to eliminate for a chance to sit next to the most bea...
I dont watch animes thank you
Your loss.
He just kthxbai’d you
Kthxbai?
oh wait i just got the joke 🤯
i have a hard time understanding english jokes
kthxbai
k thx bai
okay thanks bye
Sorry guys
It's the name of a show, "Komi can't communicate". It's on the link I posted.
Wowow 😅
you think I can read?
I presumed too much.
i haven't seen it either but the memes helped 💪
anyone watched chainsaw man?
yep
It is very good, Eren. Many feels.
I have it downloaded legally subscribed, but haven't watched yet
I'd say chainsaw is "interesting"
Just a guy with chainsaws for arms who kills demons for boobs.
and its well executed compared to many anime tbh
which makes sense
Erens already anime
And vagene?
Haven't yet, still in TODO
he collects boobs?
i dont like it when people confuse my name with AoT reference
She’s alive
Oh sorry bro
“Mom accused of cyber bullying own daughter”
no it wasnt about you - i just mean some people confuse me with Eren from AoT rather than thinking its my actual name
Maybe once I'm done setting up my new girl for development stuff I can watch anime in tranquility again
That is a news headline I’m looking at
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.
Not saying I disagree with his motivations. He is 16 afterall.
:thonking:
people are overhyped for makima
the sky still I think
i disagree
haven't been outside in a few hours
._.
i have news for you
sky became darker and white dots started to appear
one of them is too big
たたかい
Because the sky is down in Australia?
oh no, the end is near
duh, australia is on the bottom of the world
oh yes
have you ever seen a globe
Why do people in Australia walk upside down?
idk since earth is flat
Don't forget their ride wallabies.
oh boy gotta grind one last weapon in cod
And get dollarydoos
what's on top?
Does it smell like sweat in here or is it just me?
The earth
i can try
nope just you
I’m curious how unhinged you have to be to cyber bully your daughter and for what reason
I take a photo today and something caught my attention. What is this black thing? Cloud or Ufo?
to let them experience the world so they don't get enticed by weird things to kill demons, probably
a dirt on your lens
is sky always purple like this in zonguldak
That makes sense
It’s probably a dragon
A toughy.
weeb confirmed
I mean, not the first time people passing off optical defects as UFO
clearly ufo 🛸
in morning yes, I played a little with the colors
sky is always gray in here
I think the best one I've seen recently is Planetarian.
That was god damn beautiful.
oh awesome
Favourite character? Jashin-chan!
but you have 700 meters of sea
uh.. the drop kick one?
i think this is true
🥹
i guess so
Also I should replay Cities Skylines
Yes. Jashin-chan is the best character. The show isn't the best show. It's very good, though.
isnt jashi just a character that doesnt speak much and just likes to torture a snake from hell
No.
Cities Skylines has an endgame?
just watched 2 eps of it last week
ah, jashin is the snake itself
No, but I stopped playing long ago, when I stopped my PS+
lol yeah she was damn funny
ah okay
her voice actor also has a pretty cool voice
no wonder it's highly regarded
i guess same as future diary's yandere?
do you have other games in your backlog?
ME3's ending was critically acclaimed, wdym?
Coffee Talk, planning to speedrun it
thoughts of noragami? if you would rate from 0 to 10?
cities skyline only traffic management game
surprisingly i remember that
then that first lol
i must be annoyed you a lot then
Also FF15, I didn't get to play the DLCs
She's a fantastic singer, too. She does the song at the end of s2.
ig play the games that are finishable first
The song is literally 10 minutes of the 20m ending episode.
did you get the secret ending?
ah, so she kills the other girl by singing something
cant find another explanation xD - to the length of the song
i wonder how old i'll be in 2077
I rated it a 9.
Though I'm more looking forward to play the games in my Steam wishlist...
weeb
I don't rate anything a 10 unless there's some heavily emotional connection.
the secret ending is amazing, you'll need to uninstall the game for it though
but it's worth it
i rated 6.5 - didnt finish aragoto yet though
my favorite from your list is Code Geass
Haven't started that yet.
whats your rate on code geass?
At least I got some Asia exclusive games 😛
let me guess they have bad controllers?
I would choose to play the ones you own first lol
I have a huge backlog
wow daekesh your list doesnt seem to end
I haven't seen it in so l ong I've forgotten absolutely everything about it.
i gotta watch a lot of things from it

I gave up and started playing CoD and Battlefield exclusively
i guess i watched code geass around 10 times
My backlog isn't much, mainly just want to put the RTX 3060 to the test myself after potato-ing for so long
That sounds like a lot of hours watching.
Oh right, AC Unity
no no once you uninstall EA and Bioware will take control of your device and force you to watch 30-min long ending thrice before you acknowledge it
watched at my 15 first
I got it for free like when Notre Dame was being restored
Fantastic game
same lol
Parents be proud.
couldn't finish it, MULTIPLE times, because of shitty cloud sync issues
you should've, it's Bioware's magnum opus
Company of Heroes 2, maybe.
in the leagues of Anthem
is it beatable?
Played the 1st one long ago, never played COH2
That's some dedication!
ahh okay
Also Elden Ring, still yet bought it
Dark Souls fan?
I'm interested to it, still haven't played much in person but seem to be my jam
*interested in it
Then you might like it, yeah, open world DS basically. Same vibes.
Isn't elden ring very very hard?
Kinda DS?
Why are roguelite fps games not preferred?
I'm not sure, maybe procgen levels and persistent state
I want to play a mix of dead cells and doom
Is this roguelike? Or roguelite
Graphics like minecraft
I'll have a look after dinner, thank you
Wait, ULTRAKILL is roguelike?
Yeah, mainly made in places they don't speak English.... loads of rouge games out there
What? What does it have to do with English?
i'll finally be able to try out cyperpunk properly when this hits
been waiting a looooong time
Don't be too disappointed.
Nah, nothing to do with blade runner, even the name is different.
Vertexrunners
Partially.
Was /s
the tv series with also update for cyberpunk 2077 game
When the dlc?
probably sometime next year
From tomorrow onward you say?
it's dissapointing even with the updates and the expansion? damn it
but well, you know CDPR, wouldn't trust any estimations 😄
i played it at launch and holy christ was it a disaster
it's fricking awesome even without the expansion
ok ok
Introducing Idris Elba as Solomon Reed, an FIA Agent for the New United States of America. Team up and take on an impossible mission of espionage & survival.
Get ready for Phantom Liberty – a spy-thriller expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 set in an all new district of Night City. Coming 2023 to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
I really liked it, before the biggest updates. and it was one of the only games where I re-loaded to see all the endings
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
Glad they were not so far apart.
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
my only regret is I played as female V and all my romance options failed, got friendzoned by everybody 😅
Also, it has very annoying invisible walls. My roof jumps were ruined by this game.
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)
I haven't played it with the updates. I tried to a month or so ago, I couldn't be bothered to get past the tutorial mission.
ahhhh that'll do it
Yeah, I have no idea what woman would like from these guys. So I kicked them out too.
it have got better well its CD project red way perhaps
cyberpunk without updates probably amounts to an early access game the developers have no intention of finishing
Have the updates made the game fun ?
Or have they just fixed bugs I never cared about in the first place ?
i heard the updates fixed most glitches, rebalanced the game and the ai aren't braindead
Afaik, there were a lot of updates needed 🙂
So they haven't made it that different then.
so I guess it depends on how much your enjoyment was impacted by those things
I never really encountered any game breaking glitches. I just got bored of it.
yeah for me the braindead ai and the constant crashing was what KILLED my enjoyment
i thought the base game itself was fun enough
Didn't crash once!
I read one big problem is that one QA studio lied about the number of employees to squeeze more cash out of them..and failed to provide good QA
I played the base game for maybe 20 hours or so.
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
I finished the game in 25 hours 😅
another problem was they brought on new developers to deal with code they didn't write when the experienced devs left
I tend to spend a lot of time on side quests.
uh, wow
I dried out everything from the map, ~80h
It was fun enough, just not long term fun. And not fun enough to make me want to play it again, apparently.
ngl, being a hacker was kinda OP. I felt like a god. In matter of a second or two, you drop 10 guys around.
The biggest issue I had with it was I felt the movement was bad.
Sadly those days are over for me 😅
It felt janky as fuck.
Kids?
There were some issues, but I don't remember what exactly.
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
lol, cinematic gaming (we actually didn't spend much time optimising, so it is 24fps)
*when i say cinematic gaming * i just mean playing for something other that mechanical depth or strategy etc
23 fps then
listen
i've played OG demon souls on the ps3
the sub 20 fps doesn't make it any more cinematic
Dump the game so that you can bring it to emulator
Pretty sure RPCS3 can handle Demon's Souls, doesn't seem to be as advanced technical wise as likes of MGS4
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
wth with the msvc/r# explanations
Just being as upfront and honest as possible
I didn't greped for that comment, but it would be one really weird comment from MS. I want my money back o/
In a product about few buildings...
So... what do we do to stop the birds flying backwards.. certainly don't need ducks flying past going "kcauq kcauq"
We could rename the ducks, crows and call it a feature

He's been struggling to do that lately
He's been bringing it up to spec with the rest of 2022.
He did but the decision he's been making lately is question at best
That was a joke about 2022 being a generally embarrassing year.
Ah 🕊️
you know what was really weird about the supermarket shopping experience in the united states
only the front wheels on american shopping carts turn! the back wheels don't
????
Strictly?
I found the opposite annoying when I went to austria
being fought at by the wife
how is it annoying when it makes everything easy lol
I hope it ends well.
I can't just let the cart go without it spinning
🤔
Seems like the wheels were set up poorly, it works just fine here
you can just let it roll, even jump on it and it'll glide you along with it lol
she's on about day 3 of taking a break from both smoking and drinking, her worst day, it should be ok
Wow, look at that knowledge graph.
I'm putting the finishing touches on our new sharing channels. Writing post guidelines and such.
This is an excellent way to describe it
Sharing as in what? 🤔
Self promotion. Are you unaware of this category?
Oh I thought it was being expanded with maybe tutorials or something
It is being expanded. 🙂
Oh nice, it's my favorite section because I get to check out so many projects and streams. Glad it's getting more love
someone pinged?
@soft night you asked and we delivered.
i had 2 pings again for lounge as i just woke up
I dunno, maybe you can see the future?
someone was pinged on ai-gen-art but that one was deleted by mods
so i guess some spamming something
Haven't seen anything extraordinary though.
It is X oclock and all is dandy and fine.
You can go back to sleep. Lounge will keep you safe.
Why am i only seeing girls in my dreams every day for a week?
well i have seen bats and hedgehogs on on estream
one stream i was controlling telepathy zombies
I was camping with 3 beautiful girls🙄
only 3? thems rookie numbers
Yeah only 3
Well it's your subconscious soo 🤷♂️😅
i think i need a vacation😅
People usually have dreams about something they miss, want, it's bothering them or are scared of
Isn't your young heart in a need 😏
When I was in college, I had 3 girlfriends that I loved very much. They are in distant cities now. did i miss them
Do they?
No, ı dont know
if there's women in my dreams, there's usually more than I know what to do with
great dreams usually tho 😄
Still trying to figure out what that "girlfriend" thing is that everyone seems to be talking about, must be a car or something
I was trying to make a joke but apparently I'm not too good at those 😅
sorry bro, i'm new to english and i can't understand jokes😅
All good 
Talking in foreign language about unknown topic.
My cactus is getting better 😊
is that a white dacia duster?
Is that dirt on the window?
Yeah
yes, dust. there is a very active highway ahead
Even if I clean it, it the same in 2 days😕
add a second glass that protects the first glass
that way, you won't have to clean the first glass
as frequently
but then you have to clean the second glass
I know the feeling
I live on a busy intersection atm
window is dirty af
but if I clean it, it's just shit after a few days again
not worth it
replace the second glass
no cleaning!
replace the window with a wall
mount a camera outside
stream it to a TV decorated like a window
oh my, that's genius
it even kills off those pesky plants you have to take care of
you get max privacy and even some security
cause they don't get any natural light
plants can generate their thing even in normal bulb lights i heard
has to be a specific kind of bulb
though it may not be enough for super hungry plants idk
indoor house plants work with any light i think
let me double check first
well
before someone else does
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.
also you need certain light spectrums I believe
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
that's amazing
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
and also get skin cancer so yeah
I think its worth the risk since vitamin D is essential for strong bones
i guess we are meant to be basement dwellers with occasional light
nah
i am a basement dweller
just take supplements
we should honestly turn off the sun
its overrated
then we will have to hug for warmth
on second thought the sun can stay
i wonder if we humans can stick together like single cells formed multicell organisms to form some multimulticell organism that would be really huge
lay off the jazz tobacco @deep copper
it means we join to become modern dinosaurs
I don't see how that could mean that
what else do you think it means?
it's okay, we just need to make it a reality so some scientist can explain it better
I think you want humans to fuse together?
sort of ! just stick together
not really fuse
like, kept together vs welded together
lego vs jenga
Like a human centipede?
okay that was horrific, plan cancelled
wow you knew that reference
ofc! it was in the memes
and really scary so i remember it
i haven't seen it though...
but knowing is all that matters
I've seen it
it's a bad movie
there's literally nothing more to it than eating shit straight from the source
yes
glad I didn't see it
samsung xD
No, real game developers work, they don't hang out in discord
no game developers on this game development discord server for sure
definitely not blockchain developers
send help heat
I m not a game developer. I just do hypercasual
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.
don't tell me you make mobile 🤢 games 🤮
Eww
there is no other job where i can make good income😕
Sending. But the travel will take a bit of time. Few months.
I can be a cashier but then I have to work with a monthly salary of 250 euros.
The reason i learned unreal engine is to be able to make more different games.
time to move out of shithole?
Yeah
I have 5 days to do a task. I work hard and do that job in 2 days, i learn UE and eng in the remaining 3 day
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
that seems like it would backfire pretty quickly tbh
Isnt all Unity code terrible?
doesnt really matter
they just need to hit n amount of ad clicks
game itself just needs to look good enough to download in store
this is why I hate mobile games
mobile gaming space actively promotes creating garbage
hypercasual studios comes with a game idea that will guarantee n number of clicks, if publisher gets convinced they give $1mil
Yes
then they share the revenue
Mobile games are just garbage, mostly
so you just need to think about how to deceive people into downloading the game and clicking any ad at least just once
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...
cant decide which one is worse
what's the point though
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.
Call of Looty 22
Good mid-level hypercasual developer with 3-4 years of experience in turkey earns 900-1200 dollars per montj
hypercasual dev, til
This is a sufficient wage to live in Turkey
Are you bros with Eren-chan?
Still my favorite GDC talk, still relevant to mobile gaming
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8Lhqri8tZk
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.
Regis...
The part at the end where they have to answer questions from serious slot machine devs is so... I wish I knew the word for it.
Eren abi?

Eren i think found you on linkedin
Hyperslacker
I only check there annually
doom play!
I stopped working as a gamedev and just generate AI pictures now.
Buy my book for..... J/K. 😄
Can you generate AI photos of my wedding for free
can you generate AI for me
I can for money. Free is too cheap.
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.
oookay
Not everyone processes it the same way.
I may be overtired. 😉
Good idea, time for a nap for me.
anyone wanna come test my client build?
... why would anyone look at pics of a dead person while they are dead ..
should've taken more pics when they lived
is that a milk shake
Not until I have virtual machine sandbox working
virtual machine sandbox?
Not pictures. VIDEO.
were you filming for a mad scientist?
Sometimes, I think so.
Listen, I filmed some crazy things in my early days, a'right.
maybe they paid you well to keep you quiet
I filmed everything from school spirit videos to porn (not related, thankfully) and everything in between.
even porn?
Money is money.
you were a generalist back then as well i suppose
Pretty much.
Yes
Who knows if there are malware
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.
i dont do that stuff, i can send you a video preview of the previous version
if you want
Then I got the camera crane, etc.
demand creates profession i suppose
NEXT THING YOU KNOW... my business burns down.🤷♀️
Yup.
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.
wth
Police said they thought they may have been after my video gear.
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.
this is super sad, but hey those business are probably in decline now so
I wasn't even allowed to take my cameras for awhile because of the fire investigation.
doesn't that make the damage worse
Insurance never did pay to replace anything; they dicked everyone over for a year, and it took lawsuits to get them to budge.
did they do anything at all?
Eventually, they paid out a SMALL % of what was lost.
aw 😦
After that, I never had anything to do with insurance again.
Just a scam.
Might as well keep my money.
yeah i guess
that's such a betrayal
did they ever catch who did it
probably someone who knew there was equipment
I closed my video business just before COVID started though; so lucky timing.
that's quite recent
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.
Nope, the police said they knew who did it, but they had no physical evidence to prove it, so nothing.
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
They won't name anyone like that unless they can actually pin it.
oof
They weren't suspects, no actual evidence.
moral of the story: never share office space? never buy good equipment? never take insurance? never leave your office?
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.
Insurance is a business whom you pay for the privilege of having them owe you money when you need money the most.
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.
atleast something
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?
that sounds good
tbh this is a good quality at times, instead of overthinking
though you could've ended up doing something weird and unprofitable
When I do... I just do... I overthink nothing. Consequences mean nothing.
I'd rather fail 100 times than not try at least once.
that explains early energy quite well, you feel like you can do anything,
then health kicks in
Yup.
sounds good, though there's some money involved xD
and time maybe!
but less regrets
Now, I'm on disability, but also work for Duro as an artist cuz disability alone doesn't pay the bills. 😅
duro?
Duroxxigar, he's here and there about.
ah, i had a feeling it is him
cool cool
you really used artists ability anywhere lol
and they say artists can't make money, i guess it's hard but yeah
Yup... I even made a living in Second Life for about a decade, lol.
you mean that thing meta copied ?
how do you make money there?
I used to make and sell adult content in Second Life. Adult furniture, toys, animations, etc.
ah, so a mod like stuff?
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. 😄
i wonder how it's going now
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.
quite nsfw topic there peeps
Ah, it's not about the business itself though... just the business aspect.
Artist side of it.
But yeah, as I said, there's money in art, everywhere.
You just gotta be willing to find your niche-- or more than one.
that's some cool advice tbh, i will keep it in mind 😄
Try as many art fields as you can.
Never be afraid to try something new.
Always embrace new technology.
that's true, you were quite fast at it
Hi
I never did the same thing for more than a few years... before finding a new interest and passion. 😄
It's given a wealth of skills though.
now you can combine them, so good
İ would to be here
i believe that helped, as tech changed, and you can keep a fresh learner perspective
Graphic arts, design, writing, painting, photography, video production, audio production, programming, 3D modeling, UV mapping, textures.... I'm not SUPER expert at anything, but I'm decent in everything.
jack of all trades!
Jane of All Trades, Mistress of None.
What's the full saying again? "Jack of all trades, master of none, but still better than a master of one."
Being ok at a lot of things is equally impressive as being good at one thing
Master of puppets
yes!
you can probably make full indie games then,
I've build game prototypes that people wanted to buy, at least, lol. But I refused to sell cuz... silly prototypes. 😅
just sell though, if you don't wanna make them full
maybe they would also make 100k/year
take a %tage
I'm not as money driven as one would think.
yes, you are an artist
Generally, I hate money... and only wanna make as much as I need.
who see that gru from the wallpaper?
but more money = more gear to experiment with?
I chase passions; not dollars. 😄
Right now though, I don't know what my passions are-- I don't think I have any.
I thought 3D printing was gonna be it, so I bought two 3D printers.
But nope
They're sitting unused.
oof xD
Then maybe piano... but nope. I bought a piano, learned some basic songs, now it's sitting there unused.
print a piano
hmmm, actually printing a piano might be interesting? it needs to work
😄
Woooooooot woooooot
I'll find a new niche again, eventually... but old age is catching up with me, sadly. So, I don't have the spring I used to.
So, I'll be happy enough to work for Duro and help him build his games. 😄
sounds good i suppose!
I told Duro I'm ride or die... so, I'm stuck either way. I made a promise. 🤣
@pearl elk go check out "tale of us - tomorrow land 2022 we3" check the track at 49mins
well it will be fine, since you can work on pretty much anything in the project
Nah, I exclusively do 3D model stuff.
:question: is violin bettter then piano?
:8ball: Outlook not so good.
why buy 2 at once lol
i see 🤔 premium 3d, can even print
Well, I got the large format one for doing big things... but I also got the delta for doing quick things. 😄
I hated having the big printer tied up for small things.
probably thought it will be the new hobby but it didn't turn into one
"I want to print this small thing, but the big printer is doing its 13 hour thing." 😄
Well, I did print some things that were very popular in a local circle... but I can't discuss that cuz content warning. 🤣

But nah, I'm not going to pursue 3D printing as a business venture.
what you gonna sell
Nuthin', they been collecting dust since May.
there's a lot of flexibility in it as a manufacturing thing, maybe something else will click with it
oh I missed the "not" in that sentence
Nope!
that's gonna need energy
Crystal Method was pretty good, nice small older crowd
is this your drunk uncle in his backyard?
I just wish I COULD find something I have some real get-up-and-go spirit for. 😭
If real football was like this, it might be interesting. But real football is more like watching paint dry. Just with more balls.
AMC is gonna pack out Fat Controller, 500 people in a dungeon lol
