instead of solving issues they just add mounts/vehicles to scoot past a design problem they created
Im honestly lost in Destiny 2 though, season 19 and Ive never played it before, the game comes across as severely broken for new players and paywalls everywhere
typical MMO things though, certain inactive areas are ghost towns and the story is all over the place because its trying to tell you the intro and the latest expansion stuff at the same time
the worst is this xmas theme town square, oh its terrible
Hi Northerners... It doesnt snow here for xmas, kthxbye, Southerners!
meant to be 40c average here next week lol
hawaii
we had a nice ice-fog around 3am
what, me lie?
are you an island boy?
no, I'm a landlubber
Tiver me shimbers
As much as people complain about AI, it does better art than some "artists" lol
what did you do to dave
Just in time π€
fallout?
Hey, I remember that one. Fun.
it was one of my favorite games on amiga^^ π
those where the times
when you died because the joystick didn't respond
because the microswitches where worn out...
sudden flashbacks
There were some issues with joysticks in general.
Holly... just understood my body does not like eggs and canola. Strong immune reaction.
Fallout 1?
Hi, I'm not so sure where to ask this, I can't seem to find the appropriate channel, so I'll ask here.
So, regarding project repositories, I'm currently using TortoiseSVN and at very rare occasions it just breaks and I need to download the whole project again.
So my question is... is there a way I can let the SVN know that I already have the project files downloaded? so that I don't download it again?
(I'm referring to the hidden .svn folder).
If you know the answer, please please @silk rain Tag me.
Aye. Thought I think I saw F2 screens, but didn't pay much attention. Their servers were congested.
I mean, Fallout 1 is kinda cool and unique. It is the most hard core. Later are kinda comical and with 3 and 4 the tone is different.
Yeah fallout 1 was pretty great. I think I abandoned many hours later because of deathclaws π
The atmosphere is kinda different. Is kinda Dark Souls, while later games are more comical and light.
thanks!
AI very advanced, but I have to carry 10 cards with me, this state is very tiring π’
I wish there was only one card and the AI ββknew which card I wanted to use
Nope id card, credit card etc
Beating it, might help, I see now.
Punch them.
What is this?
Need number and a PIN tho
waaaay back in the day I had the pleasure of visiting a computer lab. Had airlocks that blasted air on you to remove dirt and sticky floors to clean your shoes. all the computers were massive things will huge rolls of tape. of course all controlled with punch cards π
Searching for cards in a wallet is tiring
*Searching
Atompunk
Back in the days when most programmers were women, because men considered it to be a job for women. Then women started doing cool things with them... next thing you know. π€£
?
I think I will buy this π€
Cache locality.
Pressed the key takes out all the cards like in the picture.
Satan would like you to think so.
MS really does not want to stop bothering.
hehe
I prefer the name Lilly in this era.
windows updates are fricking terrible and borderline criminal imo lol
When I installed windows 11, game performances increased by 15-20 fps
Be EULA I think you are even obligated to update.
make sure you deactivate that you want to be a windows update uploader, it reactivates sometimes... and you then become part of a botnet
and tons of other shite
When I bought a new computer and got Windows 11 with it, I didn't think I was gonna like it.
But, it quickly won me over.
ever wanted skype? doesnt matter, here you go dear windows customer
Each other update, they show that power point presentation where they ask Do you want Win11?
No.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Do you really, really want to skip?
Yes.
Think again.
flips table
windows update example
10 was pretty stable for me... rarely any crashed, but 11... I haven't had a single crash yet.
And I'm the kinda person who runs a computer 24/7 and only does a reboot when there are updates.π
I just set mine to happen when I'm not around; stress free updating.
well i got an update like every other day and my cpu goes up to 30% just for the update, and it doesnt care if i work or do stuff lol
i bet half the updates are just windows 11 pre install downloads... again and again
I decided to participate in their Report usage program.
Each other day, if you leave your PC for few minutes it spikes to 100% while compressing & sending usage statistic.
Man...the new WIP channel kind of sucks ngl
They wiped all the previous messages and replaced it with the board where you cant even preview all the images in the post at a quick glance
#969360633386655744 would be better
The previous ones are archived, you can browse them.
@mild tartan the old messages should still be available in #work-in-progress
#1054845120236757103 that's in archive still exists, so older messages exist
β οΈ Compiling Shaders (290) ...
I just found that now. I had to scroll a bit to see it. I didnt even realize it was there
I like the new category, it's just images at a glance and much easier to view
oh hello affectionateUser#4018
they never remove any channel
yeah that's nothing but yet im still complaining
only add more
There's just too many channels in general
True, thumbnails kinda compress the info. Easier to preview, not much of details tho.
There's a lot of things that can be merged
too many to mute
Only mute, not hide
you can hide now i think
Where is that option
and muting is also easier than before iirc
Also that top thing... that was posted recently.
Right click on the server icon in the sidebar
< has to see all channels regardless :'(
I guess you learn something new every day lmao
you probably also have more channels than us as a mod
Yeah a lot of these options aren't exactly obvious
Admit you just wanted to blind everyone else.
I'm a rebel
"You can hide muted channels"
Immediately mutes #generative-ai
yeah instead of blacklisting, this whitelists a few channels i think
give that a shot
you will probably have the issue of being umable to hide voice chats in most cases btw
i see dieter complain about it daily here
You can hide them, but Discord helpfully says HEY THERES PEOPLE IN VOICE CHAT when they are active.
True.
Yeah like #virtual-production , which is such a niche channel that Im surprised it exists
You'd think they'd get direct support from Epic on that
That can cover everything from twitch streams to the Superbowl.
lolno
Would prefer #tacos
it's probably seperate after they realised those people didn't have anywhere to ask and cluttered other channels while just getting ignored in the end. so they gave them a special place to get ignored in
I like that people seem to be still working on the html5 port but yeah it seems pretty dead and not sure how well that even works
For the people who want to flex their 3500 macbook pro
either way, it can never be removed, or merged, it will only get archived and replaced with a new channel at most
giving me ideas... punny ones
chatGPT

!gameidea

It's a / now. Not !

The channel list definitely needs work. We have a lot of channels, some have overlap, and the categories are overloaded.
i think there's still a lot of room till you hit the discord limit though
It aint small topic on itself, can't compress so much.
I'm not worried about hitting a max channels limit.
My concern is user experience for both members and moderators. Even with the new channel directory, simply continuing to add channels to our long list isn't sustainable.
another server then?

Why worry? Users report what they want.
the topic is huge, each category is like a server of its own tbh
phist is here what
Users don't always know what they actually want.
just like ue, too many stuff to explore
You need to learn how to look past the request to figure out what they're actually asking for, i.e. what is the problem they're having?
:question: does users know what they want?
:8ball: Without a doubt.
tar -zf /usr/bin/tar.gz /usr/bin/tar
Yeah, kind of what I meant. I mean, is there a point to worry now? Too many channels? Guys start to learn about how to hide the unused ones, the recent post in #announcements too... Effects take time.
bz2
well you know how to hide annnoyed ones
Well like I said, people being able to customize their channel list now only helps a little. It doesn't mean we can create endless amounts of channels without worry.
i wonder if a channel is like adding a tech debt
discord is slowly reaching feature parity with a technology from the 80s
Definitely. I just think it is fine as it is now.
me after update for that specific category
We were considering turning support channels into forum channels, which would allow us to combine some in a logical way and use tags for subtopics, but there's been quite a heated discussion about that.
I just muted everything except social. Worked for me. π
same, only lounge
You don't have to mute/collapse anymore. You can truly customize the channel list now.
when used thing came to newed mute
That would be hard decision, lol. There are too much pros and cons. On other hand, why not introduce both? Experiment, hehe.
If there's a sensible way to do it, we'll consider it. Otherwise "why not" is not a reason to do something, imo.
I don't like change, it makes my nosehair twitch.
i mute the forum channels now
Well, you take a high traffic channel, make a duplicate in forum mode.
Personally, I just hate the way Discord does its forums-- it's not coherent to my autistic brain, and makes it unreadable in a way.
Like, they picked the worst possible format and implemented it in the worst possible way.
Now members who go there for help have to choose: do I ask in chat or in the forum? And we'll end up with a fragmented conversation.
How so? Can you explain why it is the worst possible implementation?
i think most limitations are from discord, with more freedom, this place could've been greater
do a/b testing: close this server, invite everyone to two servers, one forum and one traditional, see which is most popular!
Doubt. Some may go ask around, but they will quickly diverge to one or another. In a way, we are just speculating here. Until a forum mode is not tried, nobody can tell its effect really. That is, if there is an will for it.
I don't think I could articulate it any way except saying: it feels like Geocities 1990s, just in text form.
it's much nicer on mobile than pc
Poll is also an option. Which reminds me there are not much of polls on this server π€
Oops, I meant that reply to pfist, lol.
I just did a survey on forum channels in October.
So, no forums?
We got 245 responses.
ah, lol
when you dont have smartphone so its pain to see it or use
Yeah, I don't use a phone for Discord at all. PC all the way.
Pretty good data to work with, but I've been having discussions here to compliment the data. I don't believe in going by survey or analytics data alone. There's more to the story.
The general opinion was, "Forums are cool, but this is a Discord srever, we like chat." vs "OMG FORUMS AWESOME WAA WAAAAH" (to paraphrase)
my only phone is basic phone
There is certain intertia when coming to traditional chat based app like Discord.
the forum channels are like zoomed in
out?
Yeah it's pretty polarizing. Not a lot of people who chime in are neutral. It's either "Forums are a godsend, please use them everywhere" or "If you do I'll stop helping people or leave".
See the #1054845218723209226 for example. It is easy to preview, just by a picture.
like you have one chat with one liner and it use 2 chatters space
Middleground, hoooooooo!
Use them some places. π
Odd dates = chat, Even dates = forum. Bring on the Chaos!
I just wish Discord had made threads easier to navigate in a subpanel or something; it woulda been better than the whole forum idea. But it is Discord.
@cursive crypt i better not look so i dont need painkillers what dont work for me when i get migraines
a lounge forum would be weird
I would never. lol
Threads worked better, because at least it was coherent with the chat first concept.
all forum channels i mute forever
Hello guys
Is anyone here good in UX/UI
what would analytical measurement mean in term of user engagement on a mobile app?
π
I don't really like Discord threads. They work in some cases, but in most I think you're better off with a forum channel if you need threads.
well i dont use slack anymore so
I just wish I could customize the order/layout of the channels on the sidebar instead of only hiding/showing specific channels.
We love using threads on my other server, because we have like threads for turns on async games. Works fantastic. But it's not good when you want new people to discover them at a later date.
discord thread works fine
Threads are poop for something like this server.
Sure, I keep seeing this argument, but in reality forum channels are not quite like a traditional forum.
The most obnoxious thing about discord and forums is that... it's scroll bars are so goddamn tiny and forum things are so goddamn huge. π
Like I said, it's like trying to navigate a Geocities site.
time for pfist to make a new chat application
I get it, though. On the surface, to people who prefer chat, forum channels just look like another forum.
Yes. The only answer is to burn it all down and start from scratch. lmao
take the ease of use of discord and the features of irc and irc clients
You can safely ignore Lilly. She is just salty.
You don't get to say what Lilly is π
threads work when you lets say post link of something and it add thread for it
low traffic playground
Hypothetically hardware could benefit from being a forum. Would be pretty cool to have a "share your battlestations" post, for example. However, it seems to work fine as a text channel.
:question: would you generate thread on discord if you want?
:8ball: Without a doubt.
A hardware sharing forum would be great. But it would still benefit from casual chat.
The thing about forums is, it's not casual.
Share you battlestations, share your new benchmarks, etc - great for forums.
I mean, that's basically what discord forums are.
hardware being in social is odd
lol @sand oxide
There's no upvoting or algorithmic ranking.
I dunno why Discord gotta be more than what Discord is. π€·ββοΈ
not sure where else it'd go
It's not all of reddit, fine π
Forum channels are functionally just subchannels. They look kind of like a forum, but that's only to enable focused discussions around the same topic without overlapping each other.
So, threads? π
in important
No. The thread browser is inferior, imo.
they snubbed microsoft, but it made them realize teams is coming for them, built into windows...
more like bloated threads the forum channels as what comes to pc
you can make a channel you can't post in but can make threads in...
That's fine. It's highly subjective, and I know some of you feel quite strongly against it.
i am happy as long as lounge is safe πΉ
Sort & View β View As List
imagine if hugs were in all forum posts
Most of the channels in Community Creations default to grid view because they're visual-oriented topics.
You can change it back to list view if you prefer.
Imagine if switch statements didn't exist.
the nit would be if
Layra shorted list
Imagine a language with no autocomplete... and everything had to fit within 64KB.
This has been rectified: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#pep-634-structural-pattern-matching
it really does sound like a python rival
python's default "ide" that comes when you install it, only has text highlight sort of,
which is also bugged
Hey, at least you can use Visual Studio Code with Python.
true
To be fair - like....most everything used in higher level production stuff has coroutines. C++ is just ass
~VSCode~
Even GDScript has coroutines.
Imagine Lua, lol
What kind of high is that? Illegally high?
I stick to Blueprints.
A man of culture.
Sweet.
When Verse comes 'round in 2025...whew, we'll be blazing with coroutines in UE
Is good, still things to wrap up.
i would be on andromeda galaxy by then
I think they will leave by that time Andromeda.
I'm still looking for a reason to move beyond C++ of the 90s
That's not her coding style
I dunno, why do I put up with you in my old age? π
Lambdas confuse the hell out of me ngl
Just read and understand Lilly++ and you'll see.
I've watched and discussed programming for many years with her. Just trust me, that stuff ain't her coding style π
Now that is a great idea. Didn't even know you could overload '()'
there is lilypads
Knuth
some coding styles are just unique than others
See, Duro, my code is soooo well structured, I can replace entire sections of code with single word macros.
Get on my level.
π
Truly a master of your craft
LilyPad - and more...
So what's the benefit of that over function pointers?
It is purple.
Forgive my ignorance
Purple best colour 10/10
Ohhhhh. That makes a lot more sense, thanks
Why evolve when you are where you are happiest? π
So what's the benefit of that over function pointers?
For us smol π§ people - one less function to declare in the .h π
the say words again, yep yep
According to Duro, I invented color.
i see words, me smort
Lilly was there for the first showing of The Wizard of Oz
I dunno if encouraging Duro is a good thing, or Laura for that matter.
Sounds like Duro to me.
He's always getting me into trouble.
I am most certainly not
The way you said that, gives away.
I mean, it's Duro's fault I'm here.
And Duro's fault I picked up UE. π
Sorry to be a good influence?
Other might not be inclined to agree. π€£
she watched too much lana
I briefly considered Unity. But, I probably would have went to that other engine. π
Cuz... you know how I feel about that other C language.
It takes years for one to purify itself from drugs.
The only good C is the one with #
Why are we friends again? π
Oh yeah, we both got duped by Godot. π
I don't like C of the sharp for the same reason I don't like modern C++... too verbose in the syntax.
You might like C then, very simple.
Also, my number keys don't generally work, which is why I can't type out C sharp. π
Is simple tho.
C#
no
Nah - not haskell. Pascal is her β€οΈ
She's mostly still salty that Microsoft bought the designer for Pascal and he went and made C#
π
@stray orbit checkmate
How dare thee.
π
That said, I hate Embercardero and what they've done to my beloved.

Never C of the sharp.
MS Java addiction is kinda strong here.
c# = ms java
maven
Suuuuuure
if you want less typing use python, you don't even have to type {} for making any sort of block. and you seem to be experienced in a similar language already
I know a guy who spent years building a game in java.... a game that he could have built in weeks using any game engine. My black heart almost had pity.
Lol
Sometimes the sweat is the joy
Java, of all things.
you can just import some library to do it for you πͺ #stayPythonic
I think everyone in his life must try to build an engine at least once. Realise what it does means.
I built a 2D game engine in the 90s and early 2000s and I refuse to go back.
Mini sounds cute.
Engine is easy, it is its code that is hard.
I wrote graphics, audio, physics, and a file manager in C/Assembly. I WILL NOT GO BACK TO THOSE DAYS
Lol
PTSD since then I see
I mean I could port my java A* demo app to C# simply by renaming few keywords back in university
π
Lillybyte, also known as Tim Sweeney.
I wasn't that advanced, lol.
But... if I had made a three D engine, at least I woulda put Y up.
As a toddler prolly.
Programmed his first physcis engine before he was 3.
Everything else woulda been terrible though.
Because me and math are not the best of friends.
why not go back to the glory days of raw power?
She said she built it. She didn't say it was good.
Rendering in ascii is where it's at. Who needs textures and pixels?!
there is good historical reason for the precident...
but I'd swap Z for D
Did this too, as a kid. One of my first big self-made games was inspired by Anacreon. π
The whole point is to make it based on ascii characters!
Also built a ASCII renderer for a BBS system.
With your memory - I call shenanigans
Yes yes. You two share this functionality
Or lack thereof
Some people just didn't get the RAM upgrade they were supposed too
Did you ever see the terminal that had the entire star wars movie in ascii?
I did not.
There's still some pretty neat ASCII things out there. Saw this three D ASCII render someone was workingon awhile ago.
Telnet, another old love. π
\o/ discovered how to make tilable pattern woho, internet only offered the kinda dummy mirror method, but now i know and feel smart ha
Why is MS Win so lamely made. The Weather start up box shows temperatures in F, but when opened in C.
Because murika
lamely? lamelike? lameso? 3 united kingdoms
lamerer, lamest
reminds me of the famous song "i wanna be canadian"
"but not a cod fishermaaan"
CoD?
cuddles of death?
Ha Found it! F/C are saved per location and for some reason it defaults to F.
do you have an F drive thou?
i had apps looking for an H drive... but thee was none... A drive was common too, and funny without floppy drives
never did an app look for the B drive thou... mmmh... think about it...
Meh, it does not work. Nor Reset, nor Uninstall. Time to drop another MS app. Can't believe these guys can't do correctly even such app.
windows paint?

O.o you meean... a literal window in your rooom?
i rather watch those brazillian weather shows
wind 3.11 might be limited, but it keeps life simple
Aah, yes
I need to ungroup my taskbar icons, how?
yes, but where is that setting?
what's the license key for?
ahh
for $5 if it works, it's great
I'd have rolled back from 11 if I could
I updated, then my AIO failed, then I was overseas for a month
couldn't roll back post-repair
Group origami, maybe.
π
my aching brain organs
I actually like windows 11
especially with the newer update
with task manager and file explorer
my only peeve is the context menu still making me go through and extra click
Yeah that's annoying.
I've been generally enjoying Windows 11 other than stuff like that.
I don't even use the start menu, so I don't mind as much.
I only open it to type the name of an app I want to open.
Win key + type name + enter, basically.
for some reason i cant update my win to 22h2 π’
Hi. Does anyone know when fsr 2 will come to ue5.1?
i feel like i will never finish this game. the progress been really slow and things are getting too complicated to update one thing (especially the AI). have you guys been in a situation like this before?
if so how do you deal with this?
Convince myself that the idea was bad anyway and then restart for the 300th time
I think it's a very good question though lol
lol that was my strategy until i convinced my self that was a bad idea too
so i've decided to commit to this project no matter what
no matter how cool this cool online mmo rpg game idea is
did i mention this idea is cool?
MMO rpg? Yikes
do you have a game design and a plan?
yeah but i guess the plan part was bad
Mang.
Its been ages since I've touched on design documents.
well you can't plan everything up front but as long as you have a plan it's at least something that should give you some kind of path forward
Mostly because the stuff I've been doing lately are just isolated mechanics.
yeah but currently i've hit a hard roadblock
more like a slimy roadblack
FTimerManager is goat
when is timathan going to integrate coroutines into ue5
Knowing what I know about what Laura has had to do to get quality π΅ ... I'm glad it's not me doing it π
no need to when he got the glorious FTimerManager
Well - use C++20 and boom. You can use UE5coro
corout~1.exe
it could be a timer
which uses FTimerManager...
Playing a montage is another one. The node that has all those extra execution pins that is. And has the π
In the context menu I see actions like resolve soft reference, Equal Soft Reference, Is Valid, etc.
Coroutines don't sound so much like a singular function or category of functions but more like a fundamental concept.
Which I may or may not have been using without realizing it.
Best explanation of coroutines: #cpp message
She's learning though!
She's got spunk
oh co-routines! i get it now!
O
My latest endeavor has been getting accidentally reinventing the wheel of Advanced Locomotion System (ALS.)
Didn't even know it existed until like, a couple days after getting a wrap up done on my stuff lol. Someone pointed out the similarities.
yeah it's kinda hard not inventing the wheel when you didnt know it exists. i've grown the habit of googling the thing i need and if it already implemented in unreal
Ultimately I decided to stick with what I made, if I had started out knowing of ALS it would've been a different discussion.
But I made a thing, it works exactly like I want it to, and I made a point to have it be tightly organized so it's easy to work with and expand on.
is the remastered trilogy of gears of war better than the original?
yo
thoughts on a starbase concept?
how are you providing gravity?
implicitly, a rotationally symmetric object would spin, with docking on the ends of the axis, but the geometry and assymetry makes that unfeasable
gravity plating or generator makes sense, but at that point why the not-quite-symmetry?
the decks are aligned for gravity plating
it really fails the pretty test though
not only in works of fiction...
Copy only unnecessary array data from the structure to build the morph target (this will save a lot of memory)
UE comments at it's best π
long or short explination?
actually i have a whole multi paragraph explanation of how gravity works on stations
how?
the asymetry looks chaotic and random with random jags and filled in open circles
it may fit the story, but pretty it ain't
either, dm's fine too
its a concept
not the final rendition
NM slowly deteriorates in normal space and the more charge you give it the faster it decays. Corrupted Null-Matter (CNM) is very dangerous, and has to be handled carefully because its naturally radioactive, It has been used for some time as a form of RTG (radio thermal-electric generator) its been noted that the fact that CNM doesn't react well with organic tissue (even more hazardous than simple radioactive waste) the stuff has to be disposed of properly, current generation disposal methods include dropping it into a strong gravity well in an uninhabited star-system
CNM has been used in weapons systems but its unpredictability due to its other dimensional properties make it very hazardous to store long term.
AG fields as weapons have been and are always going to be a weapon used in war however the scope and power of a field is limited by the amount of NM available and how much power can be charged into it.```
recgargable artificial gravity plating, which posits it's own issues
yeah
theres a LOT more lore than my games suggest atm
there are also no "good for everything" super materials in my universe theres some cost for everything be it danger, rarity, or more
This explains a lot.
the issues it posits are physics-related: one can assume the attraction is omnidirectional
yeah were soft sf but not like trek "reverse the polarity" soft
well actually like most things with a field that field can be shaped, especially when you have materials that dont naturally exist in our universe

Mythical beasts
i have... nodes in my lungs
cost all my savings for the damned scan
but i have my lung capacity cut in half and they might be cancerous
blueprint nodes?
so more along the lines of blender geometry nodes
Must be USA if so expensive.
how did you realize? any symptoms?
chest pain for 6 months
USA but also disabled because of a slew of mental health problems that start with autism and end with schizo
having asthma symptoms now but never having them when i was a kid
diminished sustained breathing and problems getting enough air while doing physical activities
well I hope it's curable
i have no clue
i paid for the scan, now have to wait a while to fund getting it tested for cancer
im pretty low on the income spectrum
medical tourism?
have you considered selling on the UE marketplace then? a couple of good art packs (not even code) and you can make that just as passive income
sadly my skills are not in the code/art zones
im GREAT at creating detailed plausible lore
stuff that to anyone with at least a highschool chem/physics/biology degree would 100% understand and believe in
like high end soft sci-fi/fantasy
i do have music i own
dunno how to upload it as a track pack
its great orchestral stuff
it may be worth investigating
i have like 60 of them, all 40 piece orchestra, and i own 100% rights to them
with holiday and patriotic albums
i mean i do have an active development project with a single good dev so theres money potential
How do you guys typically structure your projects as in the folders specifically
like where do you put your gamemodes and character controllers
nah we cancelled the next year, we're skipping to 2024
2023 didn't test well on the beta
no 2023 is still next, we're just gonna skip it
you still owe taxes and shit for 2023
yeh but this time we're taxing 2023 on 2022's income
it's almost like this situation is being engineered to be bad
just give me three fiddy and we don't talk about it
damn loch ness monster trying to get my tree fiddy
thats how i wake up every morning...
thats actually how it works lol >.< or at least they pretend it works...
what
not here\
an estimate maybe
but still in the end of the year they fix it up and you get back or pay extra, but you are taxed on earnings of thatt year
they only used last year's taxes to estimate what you'll owe so that they can take it out of your paychecks
you don't need to do any of that
(talking about US)
nah, the year after next year is when you gonna pay for next years profitzz
its actually a thing in germany -.-
you calculate your income last year, and pay for the next based on that, and so on
it's a thing in the US but it's only 1 of many valid ways to pay your taxes
kinda depends on your business model here, as architect its like that
you even up/get a refund at the end of the year
here, you just pay less the year after... pity if you go broke till then -.-
I'm talking about personal income tax, not anything about businesses (we do those quarterly here)
ahso
ya, personal tax is like, you tell em what you made, you pay for that, you get stuff back if you had deductable expenses
imo thou, the math how they calculate how much we pay is a secondary matter, rather how they friggin spend it -.-
Hello.
- We are a medium-sized studio of about 300 developers
nani
since when 300 is not big sized
it's tiny compared to AAA
so I guess context matters
merging breaking change 5 hours before going on holidays π
they wanted me to make sure 2 features were done before the end of year, not my problem if it goes wrong
Hi
oh no, you lost your leaf
Yeah, i m a pro slacker now
here, have your walking cane then
congrats on finishing the MSQ
maybe its an O like in Only
Thank you
ah, must be
mental status questionnaire?
mono sodium qlutamat?
meaty sausage quest?
guessing acronyms, a jolly pasttime of the common human
Main Story Quest... go play FFXIV
is it international banana day or why is everyone posting banana gifs?
or well, the last few gifs ive seen at least
i had this thought, and it opened many questions...
are blondes just sunbleached gingers?
can you breed gingers by denying blondes sunshine?
do blonde basement developers turn into gingers?
:( i had hoped to solve another human mystery... pity... next thought then
but the gene is recessive, which is why it doesn't occur much
cause you need to get it from both your parents before you become ginger
not that your parents need to be ginger
arent mommy genes super strong?
but they need the gene
no
there's no difference
one could argue the male genes have more say
i only trust you on this because you know your analytics
cause only through male genes can the gender be decided
if theoretically you would make a baby with 2 mothers, it could never be a boy
female sharks dont even need males for fertilization if they live near nuclear test sites
some species can change gender
like the clownfish
a male can become a female
technically in finding nemo, evolutionary speaking, the dad should've become a female
leme just say this... snails...
they are freaky, not just because they are slimy turds
Is this what would happen if I tried to use rider?
I'm gonna break the rules
and not prefix or suffix things with BP_ or whatever their acronym is
π
if only they allowed spaces in naming stuff
or periods
so its like
name.bp
or like ffa.gm
that would look so much better visually which definitely matters lol
All my folders are NewFolder, NewFolder2... etc. all assets are named Asset1,Asset2...
hmm not necessarily maybe with the way unreal handles files
unreal still stores files on disk
except if they would replace the dot with something else before storing
but that's just dumb
true
Use emojis in the filenames. Do it.
good idea
tbh you could probably just organize everything super straightforward and it would make sense
I'm gonna use K&R indenting
especially when you aren't working with a game that has multiple game modes and tons of levels
how could you
honestly I didn't get into much related to unreal like I knew my way around but I deep dived into a bunch of core things and it was honestly far easier than I had expected
everything is pretty straightforward and most of the complicated things seem to have solutions or things in place to simplify them lol
Who hurt you to use Rider?
I don't
Cant ue be cross compiled?
I see. Why Linux tho?
It is nice to hear it gets traction, but it is still pretty low userbase.
can't you clang that shit on windows too?
gcc should be fine too
Does UE use gcc in any platform builds? 
just wanna throw this in here but can we all agree that this is still one of the best AC games?
just though i should let everyone know
and if you missed out on this gem it's never too late
Nope, valhalla is the best ac game i've ever played
or revolitons
What is that?
I thought Fortnite was the best game in every category?
are those like small apple pies?
stop swearing so much
you could call me a pretty heavy modder because yknow sniffs in a cool way i modded minecraft
those are noodles, they're called ravioli over here
i had to think of them when reading revolitons
multiple people are typing
it lost in mmo category to some blueprint project made by highschool students
π€£
wait really? π
yeaaaaaaaaaaah
Totally.
i mean... I don't blame them
why was fortnite in mmo category to begin with?
I heard you can just download Unreal and most of the MMO is already there.
i do hate that the game is locked in 60fps though, damn console peasants
because its the best game in every category?
okay wow
AC ... you played one Ubi game, you played them all.
I don't anyone who is not kind of "meh" for Valhalla.
Ive been doing cpp for ages and I never received a random drop
Have you listened to your parents during the year Dave? Will you make Santa happy?
Dieter and AU in one picture.
They stopped doing those after a while. I heard blueprints are the new way to get them.
gotta grind for components to build objects from blueprints
hi :D I'm new here, so I thought I'd pop in and say hey^^
Someone should make a meme out of this, random Unreal components only unlock after you get a drop (which of course is also random based on time).
welcome!
how is everyone doing :)
any particular reason you joined? or here to learn more about ue? π
They sensed us talking about blueprint MMORPGs and instantly joined π
I'm currently working on a demo for a game in ue and a little stuck on some stuff, so hoping to maybe find some (already posted) ressources on it or maybe ask in a bit^^
am still fairly new to unreal tbh
:)
nice, same here! people are a great help here. if you click on @proud jay 's head you will also find a ton of information.
oooh nice! :D
or well in his bio i guess π
lmao, newcomers unite and attack them lazy bastards.
newbies just here for the new season content
Unreal Slackers Royale. Now available on all platforms.
tbf i have always wanted to learn ue since ue4 like 4-5 years ago but i just never had the knowledge of coding to do so. And having pretty bad ADD didn't help me either. lost some years at school because of it until i finally got on meds for it. Right now i have way more motivation and i am not that scared to bother people with questions about it like i did back then.
for some reason i always though it would be annoying for someone to keep asking questions.
Feel free to bother them. In the other channels tho.
yeah believe me i am. π got to meet some good people in CPP gang.
They are all good ppl, happy to help. Even for the most stupid questions.
And then there's me who still doesn't understand the answer after 3 times! π€£
cries
Lumens for humans
tbf not gonna lie but i'm really curious what a big step vr games can make now with the use of nanite
But then again, most people probably don't care about VR lol.
well i mean.. yeah.. but like when it works on 5.1 laura
dammit
π
in what way?
is there a video I can watch of this huge step in VR games?
I tried Nanite and Lumen, it crashed 20 times before I got it to work once. With everything sampled down too. Definitely not production ready whatsoever for VR.
ahh that sucks, but it's a step in a very good direction though
Also to be honest, the most popular VR headset right now by a large amount is a standalone headset with a mobile chip. Very few developers are going to bother with making PC only games.
i was watching that unreal sensei video when he used and didn't use billboards with his trees. and when he enabled nanite for foliage he gained a additional 5fps unlike with billboards. thought that was pretty amazing
yeah that's true as well.
I have an oculus quest 2, 97% of my time on it is beatsaber
don't even bother making any VR game at all
VR is in a bit of an awkward spot honestly. It's not big enough where pretty much any big studios develop games for it but it's not small enough to straight up die. So you get small teams or even solo developers that make games for it with the occasional exception of bigger titles when a company tries to push their headset / platform lol.
and companies with money for decent VR make it PSVR exclusive π
looking at you horizon VR game
Like I said. The occasional exception of companies pushing their own platform π
Yeah, f it is so apparent
Laura betraying VS? Who is this and what did you do to Laura?
Linux + VS + Microsoft = Rider?

I also love how the UE source-code reuses class and struct names.
sharepoint is such fucking garbage
Don't worry, we've still got unicode to use.
every time I open a word document in the browser, al fucking title numbering disappears
who makes this shit
When we run out of regular names.
and how does this pass QA
Is there a variable named Dave yet?
Probably using Firefox.
I do afterwards, but if someone links it in a mail I have to go to the browser version to openit in word
it's edge
lots of UX frustrations today
good thing it's my last working day of the year
are you finishing my work next week? π₯²
Not available for hire via Discord.
spent all my jets on helping santa
@sand oxide πΉ
BattleToad probably
it might be caused by a plugin tho. I've disabled some 2 days ago and i think i didn't had a crash since then
you wish^
it has like 20-30 plugins enabled by default
The single best feature of Rider is the uninstaller π
π
and then you are still left with a few GB of indexing data in your home directory^
If only you guys put as much effort into your cpp as you do complaining about Rider π
haha yeah Laura ! π
Im looking at all of you... even you Nigey
i dont do cpp only c++
ue5coro isn't real

I am disappointed in the lack of capitals for UE
I thought it was unreal
I see someone gets defensive when its their arse on the line
Easier to bitch about other peoples projects
I should start answering questions via youtube videos, explaining how to do something in UE5, wonder if I could content farm this.
haha
they wouldn't ask for help if they would watch YT videos in the first place
lol omg whats going on in here today π
I love watching YT videos of someone waving the cursor around while they talk to pad it out for more ads
"XXX THIS IS HOW YOU DO THIS IN 1 QUICK CRAZY ANSWER"
dont have to tell me laura, im normally the one that gets banned !
so how do i do the XXX?
that's someone's name
actually, there's at least one legit video like this
pov you renamed something 
What is GA?
Has a developer ever casually mentioned something that made you realize you could've cut months off your last project? You could be that developer! Join Unreal Engine Evangelist Chris Murphy as he runs through some of the lesser-known Unreal Engine 5 features that could turn weeks into days.
Weβre excited to bring you sessions from Unreal Fest ...
highly recommended
only if R# didnt add it when i rename
Grand Appricot
chris murphy btw
Why not name it GA_C_IceBlast_Hard
Yeah but that atleast assumes you know something with the word probably
C for child
both legends π
There were few interesting things, but not much.
_Crap
you can learn all the UE5 you want, unless you actually release games with it... are you even using it?
The only right answer, and you are all wrong cause i'm ignorant
Why using UE when can just hang around, slacking?
maybe you are a tool||s|| programmer?
You can make linear games π
Yeah I did alot of that, its my excuse for never releasing a game... I honestly dont think its a good excuse
is it an excuse at all
i'm a tool
We know.
because it's fun to create?
cant wait to pay all my 95545677567 Turkish pesos ($0.37) to support coroutines
hey.. wait a minute 
and it's hell of a fun to debug Index out of Bounds, nullptr access etc.
patreon doesnt accept fighter jets?
do you have an agreement with lockheed martin or something
naw
only god can create
are you dragonHell?
and how much fun you had when you are creating me?
idk it exist and you worship etc
@timber viper a lot, after all you have penis food
that... was a mistake
no, that was the cherry on the top
i used using god = dragonHell while writing that to prevent ambiguity on compiler
you even made some people eat it
must've been funny to watch
we need that feature irl
idk, i'm a degenerate but i'm not that low life to enjoy people doing stupid things
New Copilot update!:
When you write dumb code, copilot removes the uninstaller to prevent small disasters in your company!
tbh maybe it just tastes good π
who knows
i guess it does
its just shape - not the.. p itself
otherwise they wouldn't eat it
yea... it's the "shape"
or whoever made the recipe had that kind of humor, and people adapted to it
I havent been out of the home for 2 weeks I think Im getting depressed π¦
go for a walk?!
Turns out it was sheep
a specific part of it
and its essentially called "ΕΔ±rden" - then it became "ΕΔ±rdan"
so the shape is because how dragonHell shaped sheep's "ΕΔ±rden"s
ΕΔ±rden is the name of the stomach?
have you considered leaving your home
and ΕΔ±rdan the name of the meal?
kind of - a part close to its stomach
penis is close to stomach
There is no place to go
hey mind if I ask a general question abt the server? :)
that's what she said
don't you have a front door?
I will look into local traveling tours
ask away
you don't have to travel to leave the house lol
you can just walk 2 streets further
maybe
2 weeks? amateur
I've done the block tour hundreds of times, but it's nice to just get outside sometimes
alright, so what do I need to do to get the role to be able to stream?^^
you need to be in the server for a week
I guess it'll be like this, Id better walk randomly
and then type /stream in any chat
