köfte huh 😋

[broken sigil]

Lol and I'm gonna do that

[celest musk]

noooooooo

let them go with their beliefs

[deep copper]

do tell us if any of them reply

[celest musk]

we need competition or epic can do whatever they want

[warm bloom]

epic is way more friendly to developers than unity imo

[deep copper]

actually, i am worried about having those people in this server

[warm bloom]

they lowered the barrier of entry

with all their acquisitions

visual scripting

and then the licensing

[stiff crystal]

imagine having game engine that wasn't all bloated and actually let you iterate quickly

[celest musk]

it surprises me that you are worried...

[warm bloom]

they also give free assets

and I'll eat them up

[deep copper]

i am worried about not getting hugs from you tbh

[celest musk]

there's bunch of furry games made with unity

[stiff crystal]

free assets kinda f*ck up paid assets

[deep copper]

i heard you buy a lot of assets in unity

[celest musk]

so they are probably hugable

[stiff crystal]

they ruin their own market

[warm bloom]

no they don't

[stiff crystal]

yes they do

[warm bloom]

they do not

[celest musk]

honestly, most assets i use with UE are bought, too

the free stuff is rather nice as "filler"

but it doesn't make your game

[stiff crystal]

I stopped buying stuff from epic's marketplace since they just gave every paid asset I got for free

[deep copper]

physically maybe, but we are interacting on an ideological level here

[stiff crystal]

there's very little point in paying for these

[broken sigil]

Don't plan or arguing with them, just posted the link to point out they are wrong

[stiff crystal]

I'd hate to be on the publisher side on this ecosystem

[warm bloom]

You paying supports the creator of said asset so there is a point

[deep copper]

drops a bomb and leaves

[broken sigil]

The prime time for UE's MP was around 2017-2018, I kinda feel it's going downhill from there

[stiff crystal]

now that free assets exist.. people just push their own thing to the free thing and then drop the support

as there's no reason to keep on maintaining thing that nobody will buy anymore

it's just all bonkers

[marble sparrow]

how to be moderator for lounge ?

[warm bloom]

it was the equivalent for open source software in the beginning

[celest musk]

as publisher?

or as customer?

[broken sigil]

Seller mostly

[stiff crystal]

UE MP has always been a huge mess

took them like 6 years to even handle VAT properly

[celest musk]

yea a lot of the plugin devs got frustrated by API changes, etc. and i can relate to that...

[deep copper]

#announcements message

[celest musk]

since epic often does ZERO documentation

it's eat or die

[stiff crystal]

don't get me started on code plugins and their per seat deal

[warm bloom]

If people choose to release free assets of decent quality and it gets used over some paid asset that is not epic games fault also if epic games makes a asset free it's because they gave a chunk of change to the person who made it

[stiff crystal]

you may ask "what per seat deal"

and that tells you enough why it's all messed up

[warm bloom]

per seat deals are stupid

[stiff crystal]

I'm fine with that

[warm bloom]

avoid like plague

[stiff crystal]

but Epic fails to communicate this

it's mentioned on EULA, not on marketplace when you buy

[warm bloom]

consumers are the ones that are supposed to read those so lol

[marble sparrow]

lets be mods and activate affectionate users

[stiff crystal]

you also can't even buy extra seats with same account

[broken sigil]

that per seat thing is pretty bad

[stiff crystal]

it's horrible

but it's just incompetence in this case

[warm bloom]

unfortunately per seat is a pretty standard practice for a bunch of services

[stiff crystal]

horribly communicated and executed

[warm bloom]

it's always ass

[stiff crystal]

again.. per seat isn't the issue now

but people not knowing code plugins are marked as such

people don't read legal fine print

[warm bloom]

it's not that uncommon no matter where you go

you get enticed by bells and whistles that fall into a trap

like next.js vendor lock

[stiff crystal]

you buy per seat thing from Unity asset store and you'll definitely know it's per seat

it's clearly mentioned

and you can buy extra seat easily

like it should be

[quasi mantle]

Not to mention the marketplace has no way to facilitate volume licensing without going through Epic's Marketplace staff directly.

[stiff crystal]

[marble sparrow]

@timber viper 11 days for vinland saga

[cursive crypt]

Easier it gets to submit, worse the quality gets. It is inevitable. Somehow, the same thing is happening with the games in general. Everyone makes one nowadays.

[timber viper]

did you watch first season?

[warm bloom]

wait new Vinland

hype

[quasi mantle]

This is one of the reason why I'm distancing myself from plugins from the marketplace these days, and prefer open source ones or making one myself

Also it's still not clear about having Unreal Editor distributed as mod kit.

[warm bloom]

unfortunately I don't know many companies that keep high standards on that type of stuff it tends to get outsourced and go downhill

[marble sparrow]

yes when it is released 3 years ago

it was great

[warm bloom]

the only plugin from the marketplace I'm using is ultra dynamic sky

💅🔨

[timber viper]

ending disappointed me a lot

[warm bloom]

I didn't really get disappointed at all

I've just been waiting for the new season

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/luke-skywalker-milk-the-last-jedi-gif-10799091

[timber viper]

i felt like nothing for a sec

after the ending

all 22 ep

[marble sparrow]

the beginning disappointed me ||the way his father died||

[broken sigil]

Stranger Things is still the best show
If you disagree you are wrong 😅

[cursive crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/marc-wübbenhorst-wuebbenhorst-water-drinking20liter-twenty-diabetes-marc-wübbenhorst-wuebbenhorst-water-gif-14764442

[timber viper]

thats the also same reason why ending was disappointing

[warm bloom]

I enjoy the beginning tbh I enjoyed the whole show it was paced decently

[cursive crypt]

I don't. It is good.

[warm bloom]

and I like the plot development it's not super generic like lots of stuff

[marble sparrow]

why?

[timber viper]

||he failed to kill that guy||

[broken sigil]

I want season 5 so bad 🥲

[timber viper]

ST is not good as mr robot s4 ep 7

[broken sigil]

I will erase you from my imagination

[warm bloom]

you are too used to the Isekai power scaling 🤔

[timber viper]

then how will you cope from bad MJ outputs?

I watched only up to the 2nd 🤔
Heard some controversial things at some point.

[timber viper]

||he was a prick||

||he also admitted everything lol||

[broken sigil]

oh you are missing out, Season 4 is incredibly good

3 is very good too

[warm bloom]

you know what show needs another season arakawa under the bridge I'll never forget that anime it's gold

😭

[cursive crypt]

||Spoilers are kinda annoying||

[broken sigil]

||I have to agree with that||

||But I kinda like making you click||

[cursive crypt]

Oh? Nice. Queueing it after we binge the current show.

[cursive crypt]

||Keyboard guys will disagree||

[marble sparrow]

||that guy had a nightmare life, so it is expected to be asshole. thorifin was dumb he wanted to kill him as a warriors, but he should did it when he had the chance when he was sleeping ||

[broken sigil]

S4 will inflict some emotional damage, you have been warned 😅

[warm bloom]

chainsaw man has honestly been fairly disappointing to me not sure if others share the same sentiment

[timber viper]

||it was nice he let thorifin kill him at the first place but thorifin didnt||

realism

[cursive crypt]

huh... I was kinda prepared when that sheriff dude... you know.

[marble sparrow]

i mean thorofin's father

[warm bloom]

you know what show was better and the author of chainsaw man took inspiration from dorahedoro

[cursive crypt]

What is with that ugly manga btw?

Seems popular

[warm bloom]

it's really entertaining

[marble sparrow]

yeah i expected more

[warm bloom]

it was in the talks for 3 years just to be like a mid anime

[broken sigil]

oh that's nothing, wait till you see S4 E4/E9

[marble sparrow]

[warm bloom]

lots of spoilers

[cursive crypt]

cringe and unsolicited hugs.

[warm bloom]

like in dragonballz I never saw the dragons balls

[cursive crypt]

There might be none.

[quasi mantle]

Nah, I have dedicated server where I can safely geek out about anime stuff

kthxbye

[cursive crypt]

Send invites to some guys from here 😏

[warm bloom]

yeah the only trust worthy person is Manny

Quinn is questionable

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/liara-liara-t-soni-asari-tsoni-mass-effect-gif-20114014

he is a person

[turbid spindle]

:8ball: My sources say no.

:question: Manny, are you worried about us, loungers?
:8ball: Concentrate and ask again.

:question: can you trust someone named luara?
:8ball: Very doubtful.

:question: Manny, are you worried about us, loungers?

all you do is have to change his class name to humanoid

[cursive crypt]

Eeh, it is all fine.

I don't know I think you are obligated to listen to him @broken sigil

[turbid spindle]

:question: you like blue manny name?
:8ball: Most likely.

[deep copper]

i guess we can say "manny woke up and chose violence"

[turbid spindle]

:question: can you trust laura?
:8ball: As I see it, yes.

:question: do you have a 9th answer in your ball you're hiding from us
:8ball: Signs point to yes.

[warm bloom]

god damnit

[cursive crypt]

So, luara - no, Laura - ye.

[turbid spindle]

:question: is Bill Nye the science guy?
:8ball: Better not tell you now.

[broken sigil]

Don't know why but that reminded me of this song lolhttps://youtu.be/DAIxrSvq6bo

[cursive crypt]

Oh, there is even a song.

[trail wedge]

Lua Ra sounds like an Egyptian god on vacation in Hawaii

[cursive crypt]

Didn't knew Laura is a man.

[broken sigil]

have 0 clue what the lyrics mean tho 😅

[deep copper]

its convincing you to listen to manny

[broken sigil]

lol

Wait, where did my imagination go, noticed Eren is not here

[deep copper]

ping him, eren listens to pings

[warm bloom]

you've been spouting nonsense about this Eren person for hours can you take your meds please it's for your own good I promise it's safe

[turbid spindle]

[broken sigil]

this is unironically a good song

[warm bloom]

do you guys think it would be a good idea to go into the court of law and dictate all your answers by using a magic 8 ball

[trail wedge]

ask the 8 ball

[cursive crypt]

Let us know how it turned out.

[turbid spindle]

:question: should ai replaced by hugs?
:8ball: Outlook good.

:question: is it a good idea to use you to answer everything

[warm bloom]

I need a second opinion

[deep copper]

yes,

ask ChatGPT

[warm bloom]

oh mighty number 4 do you give me permission

luck is on their side

[soft night]

so roll of d6 is cool

[deep copper]

you gotta give all your money again

like i said, you can always give me instead of money

[trail wedge]

I have a feeling selling you would cost me money

so no

[deep copper]

you can just keep me

[warm bloom]

I thought nation wide was on their side

god why doesn't anyone tell you this stuff

[trail wedge]

where? chained to the bottom of the ocean?

[deep copper]

if you are the ocean, yes !

[deep copper]

what stuff?

[warm bloom]

I don't know

just the stuff y'know

[deep copper]

be the change you want to see !
spread the info you want to spread!

[thin aspen]

Laura? More like law-ra amirite

Because she makes the rules

[timber viper]

this must be incorrect

i'm only excluded from laurArmy because she doesnt make the rules

good old days

[thin aspen]

I guess iamrawng

[honest siren]

good morning folks

[zinc wagon]

Good afternoon Hasan!

[honest siren]

I have a question

Does peoples here earn their income using unreal engine?

[zinc wagon]

Someday maybe

Hopefully

[honest siren]

I am bored using unity

pay cut?

[zinc wagon]

Pay decrease

[warm bloom]

it's really easy to make money using unreal

[timber viper]

[warm bloom]

find a free bank asset rob it

[broken sigil]

yes

[warm bloom]

that's cause software development is inhumane

[zinc wagon]

Yeah? What's the secret?

[honest siren]

I think it's a little different here TR

[timber viper]

i think UE is more complex overall

[warm bloom]

I agree overall

the complexity is higher

but it's a lot more variety

software development tends be extremely tedious

[timber viper]

whats avg senior hourly rate for non game dev c++?

remote.png

[warm bloom]

probably around $200k a year for c++

lol

[honest siren]

really? 200k

[zinc wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-goodness-why-didnt-i-think-of-that-facepalm-the-simpsons-gif-16763233

[honest siren]

where?

[broken sigil]

could be anywhere between 40-100$
depends

[honest siren]

seriusly?

[timber viper]

gamedev avg is 50$

from what I can see

[warm bloom]

it really depends heavily on what kind of work you're doing with c++

tbh

[broken sigil]

and for who you are working

[timber viper]

i dont even know why would anyone do c++ for non game dev these days other than maintaining old stuff or embed dev

[warm bloom]

the average for c++ seems to be around $140k

in a senior position

[honest siren]

I probably cant work for the USA from the country I'm in, maybe EU

[timber viper]

verilog go brr

c++ overkill

bye

[honest siren]

hm ok by

[warm bloom]

you could get a job at Google working on google chrome

or like adobe

[timber viper]

google hires game dev people well

[warm bloom]

Rust is becoming increasingly popular though

[zinc wagon]

For software engineers it doesn't matter if you have a game dev past from what I hear

[broken sigil]

Regular software dev = easy money
Gamedev = actually fun (depending on who you work for)

[warm bloom]

it's taking market share from lots of things

[honest siren]

there is a friend of mine, unreal engine gameplay developer. Said he was making $500 a month

[warm bloom]

that's so bad

[zinc wagon]

Damn, i can make more money begging on the streets

[broken sigil]

Generally if you have a game dev programming experience you will be fine going into regular software dev
While software dev exp isn't valued much when going into game dev

[warm bloom]

I've made more money doing a 30 minute interview

[honest siren]

where r u from

[warm bloom]

America

[celest musk]

even embedded stuff is pretty powerful these days

[timber viper]

$500 is not a salary lol

[warm bloom]

I'm over exaggerating though

[celest musk]

considering how cheap arm cortex, etc. are

[warm bloom]

it was a $150 for 30 minutes lol

[honest siren]

yes, but companies working with unreal in turkey are like this, I think

[celest musk]

even your "smart" plug/bulb might have > 2x200MHz cpu

if it's ESP based

which is hell a lot for something like that...

[timber viper]

there is a reason I'm avoiding Turkiye

and no one knows me around

[honest siren]

I know a little

[warm bloom]

Software development you can always find a job full stack always finding a job its just not fun

you burn out a lot

and it's very repetitive

and unenjoyable

[zinc wagon]

That's what I've heard from a YouTube video which admittedly isn't a great source lol

[timber viper]

UE -> template stuff should be rough at beginning i guess

[honest siren]

template stuff?

[timber viper]

from reflection to templated codebases

[timber viper]

its a c++ only feature afaik - best you can imagine is c#'s generics

compiler-time stuff

lets you generate code

[warm bloom]

Completely understandable there's lots of stuff that's specific to game development or engine specific

[honest siren]

oh yes you call generics to templates

[warm bloom]

and even if you're just a developer for a game company

[timber viper]

who does that

[zinc wagon]

What about the other way around? What did software companies say about your game dev experience (if you mentioned it at all)

[warm bloom]

you need to atleast understand the rest of the chain of stuff imo

like basics on animations

rigging

modelling

yeah they don't care they rather hear you say you're taking 6 Adderalls a day and pumping out 14 WordPress sites a hour

it pays well though

[timber viper]

isnt web just defining attributes in a data asset

but its just xml or html

[warm bloom]

just like IT pays well for the boring ass mundane jobs managing a database and knowing bash scripting and SQL

[celest musk]

honestly game dev feels like one of the most challenging dev works imho

tight resource budget, avoid game exploits at all costs, etc..

ok, science might go way beyond that

[warm bloom]

I actually respect chemists the most out of any line of work

[celest musk]

but i worked in webdev before, which was way more forgiving

[warm bloom]

chemistry is

magic

no those are all made up

[celest musk]

in quantum you can do what you want, because it's the truth in some state 😛

[warm bloom]

it's to keep the super iq schizophrenic occupied

so they don't destroy the world

[tulip orbit]

yeah, levers are craaazy

...thats chemistry right?

inserts p**nis joke at Crayons expense

[warm bloom]

oh my god

[tulip orbit]

😄

[warm bloom]

I was just about to say that makes me insecure

🥹

you know what's so terrible about software development

and just the ecosystem surrounding web development too

more boilerplate than lines of code

it's so gross

I appreciate svelte

I can't stand memory management

[tulip orbit]

thats why I never put comments in my code, keeps things clean

[warm bloom]

i recall writing bindings for node

and I just switched it over to rust

[timber viper]

0.0002ms faster

[tulip orbit]

I do!

[warm bloom]

yeah just use brainfuck instead

[tulip orbit]

black background ftw

no whitespace

[zinc wagon]

writing straight binary actually saves 100% of the compile time

@timber viper i am done, we should ban laura

[timber viper]

no can do

[celest musk]

finally... my morph transfer stuff works 🥳

[marble sparrow]

she called u a weeb

[timber viper]

true? 😄

[marble sparrow]

she insulted our anya

[celest musk]

no, this is hours, as i have tons of body morphs and tons of clothes, that would have been manual labor for days (including the waiting time of unreal's fbx importer)

[warm bloom]

@marble sparrow can you atleast change your pfp to like this version of anya

[primal summit]

you know, on my server, I have a policy: if someone says some punishment should be applied to someone else, I apply it to them instead.

[timber viper]

still cant ban her

[marble sparrow]

give me a colored version

[timber viper]

i should be punished by laura will never put question mark to my messages again

[warm bloom]

anya dead

[primal summit]

Nice try! You're not on my server yet!

[timber viper]

rest in peace

poor girl

[celest musk]

but what i need now is some smoothing on the morph data, since it's obviously not perfect doing stupid vertex mapping

but at least i understand how unreal handles the data internally, which is...

[marble sparrow]

but u can not daaah

[celest musk]

https://tenor.com/view/linus-torvalds-fuck-you-the-middle-finger-middle-finger-linux-gif-13642702

@ the person who wrote that code at epic 😛

[warm bloom]

let's just write our own engine

[zinc wagon]

i've wrote a grass renderer once so we got that

[warm bloom]

stop putting raisins on my message

[celest musk]

i'm not gonna give linus the d

[zinc wagon]

now we only need the other 900000~ features

[celest musk]

i have an lua => opengl wrapper

[warm bloom]

no we simply just copy nanite and lumen

and have none of that other stuff

it's all just extra anyway

[zinc wagon]

i like behaviour tree can we copy that as well?

and who'll handle legal stuff

[warm bloom]

no we will just use chatgpt to dictate what the ai does

behavior tree is too bloated anyway

we will just use the same library from scratch

for our blueprint system

that's basically like 30 minutes of work

and some duct tape

[marble sparrow]

is Iskander = alexander ?

[zinc wagon]

idk that's just my name lol

[warm bloom]

anderson

isk anderson

[zinc wagon]

isk-anderson the great the 3rd the jr

[marble sparrow]

i asked because my name (yahia) is john in english

[zinc wagon]

is that he english version? didnt know that existed

[marble sparrow]

not funny, u r losing ur shine since u insulted our beloved anya,

[zinc wagon]

i guess Alexander == (english) iskander

[zinc wagon]

who's anya?

why so pressed about a cat?

[marble sparrow]

yeah like zack and zakria

[celest musk]

that was quick..

[zinc wagon]

yeah but didnt know yahya specifically had an english version

[marble sparrow]

did not u take history omg

[zinc wagon]

plus i dont see how yahya can be changed to john

[bronze axle]

Less cryptocurrency, more cryptozoology.

[marble sparrow]

yes yahya = yohana = john

[zinc wagon]

i skipped the weeb class sorry

[marble sparrow]

because of languages

baby steps of my "Blueprint C++ Viewer" - what do you guys think? it displays the c++ version of the BP nodes

[marble sparrow]

hi son

[timber viper]

its not to compile directly

my goal is to create cpp equivalent of header display

thanks

[zinc wagon]

took me a second to understand what it does lol but that's REALLY COOL!

[marble sparrow]

r u russian ?

[bronze axle]

Anya is a pretty adorable kid. Just saying.

[zinc wagon]

no? where did i give that impression lol

[timber viper]

it does not *demotivate me, i already wrote a recursive pin evaluator

[marble sparrow]

The 9K720 Iskander is a mobile short-range ballistic missile system produced and deployed by the Russian military. 😂

[foggy path]

it's also a type of kebab

lol

[zinc wagon]

iskander? what?

[zinc wagon]

i was obviously named after a russian missile system

[foggy path]

although I think it's usually spelled iskEnder, I've seen it spelled both ways

[marble sparrow]

as i told u, iskander is alexander arabic version

[timber viper]

Iskender is a type of doner

with yoghurt

[celest musk]

i want one

NOW

[timber viper]

Iskander is a missile

[foggy path]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/İskender_kebap

[marble sparrow]

lol

[timber viper]

nice, keep making Ben hungry

[foggy path]

That pictured one not even the type of kebab you get here if you order an iskender lol

[zinc wagon]

that doesnt look appetizing at all

[foggy path]

You get one with yoghurt and bread cubes

[timber viper]

its a bad picture

[foggy path]

Yeah really bad lol

[marble sparrow]

@timber viper i can give you my wallrun implementation back in the day where i believed functions were bad for performance

[timber viper]

i believed functions were bad for performance
Blueprint VM

[zinc wagon]

so all the logic is wrapped in one big 🍝

[timber viper]

Let me ping you for it when I have more solid codebase instead

[zinc wagon]

i'll be waiting 👍

[primal summit]

functions bad, use gotos

much less stack overhead

[timber viper]

fun fact, functions are gotos

[foggy path]

What is with this friend request spam

[timber viper]

in vm

[zinc wagon]

gotos bad. rewrite the logic again

[foggy path]

I can't even @ this user here and yet discord claims it's a mutual server?

[timber viper]

i got that request too

one week ago iirc

[foggy path]

Yeah I got one a week or so ago and now again

[thin aspen]

Welcome to the crew

[celest musk]

same

[thin aspen]

The trick is to not answer the request then they can’t do it again

[foggy path]

oh hey now I can at @tawdry wadi the friend request spambot

didn't work when I tried literally a minute ago

:P

[marble sparrow]

a college once wrote the whole code assignment in one line, our professor told him "do u think this improves performance ?" 😂

[timber viper]

why are you spamming our friend requests

[foggy path]

Yeah I do wonder. What possible benefit is there in doing that

[thin aspen]

“I wrote this one-liner” == “I use arch btw”

[zinc wagon]

inlines are a thing

[thin aspen]

Also I use arch btw and not gentoo

[marble sparrow]

but our professor want readable code lol

[tawdry wadi]

I'm sorry if I was wrong

[thin aspen]

Lol

[marble sparrow]

lol

[thin aspen]

That’s funny

[primal summit]

they must have a different name here

[zinc wagon]

oh he's real! lmao

[timber viper]

"angery emoji" part was more of a sarcasm rather than serious - though i wonder whats the intention 😄

[foggy path]

Wait what

[thin aspen]

Something tells me Tricia Williams wouldn’t type like that

[foggy path]

It's a real user who has never spoken here and just sends random friend reqs?

I find that hard to believe lol

[tawdry wadi]

Lol 🤣 why do you think so

[thin aspen]

Oh no particular reason

[tawdry wadi]

Hmm ok then

[zinc wagon]

why did you send a friend request to all of us?

[foggy path]

So what's the scam? Are you gonna ask me to buy your crypto if I accept your friend request?

lol

[thin aspen]

Romance scam probably

Gotta cast a wide net and such

[foggy path]

Maybe should have a pfp without a dude in it if it's a romance scam

[quasi mantle]

I mean, adding people for no reason is sus

[thin aspen]

that is unacceptable

[zinc wagon]

"merge" why is that a thing? i thought reroute node did that already

[quasi mantle]

No. If she's non-single but still desperate, she'd do the same to me. Promiscuous girls rarely change.

[warm bloom]

I swear that's comic sans

atleast you're doing a meta meme

[quasi mantle]

You just can't grasp the black magic

admit it

[marble sparrow]

we still did not know why he sent friend request for all of us, was it bot ?

[zinc wagon]

i read your blog just missed that chapter ig. but it does not return a bool?

[warm bloom]

@tawdry wadi are you a bot?

[quasi mantle]

Also not to stereotype, but there's not many people uses their full name as username on Discord

[zinc wagon]

oof i missed the joke so bad here...

[warm bloom]

yeah it would be weird I was out here as "Pink Flamingo Crayon"

[marble sparrow]

naah because u r insulted anya and called us weebs, we do not forgive u

[foggy path]

You're just saying that to cover your tracks

Now that we caught you

[quasi mantle]

Though I admit, Ichinose is picked from my real last name

[tawdry wadi]

No I'm not a bot okay

[foggy path]

@tawdry wadi So why are you sending friend requests to random users on a server you've never posted on?

This should be good

[zinc wagon]

im not sure who's we here sinse eren and makoto are kinda not with you on this

[zinc wagon]

why so many friend requests?

[timber viper]

@tawdry wadi how many fingers am I holding up

You can thank Nintendo for that one. Pioneered such thing in 1980s, become industry standard.

[marble sparrow]

@tawdry wadi would you choose unlimited bacon, but no games. or games, unlimited games, but no games?

[marble sparrow]

unclickable

[quasi mantle]

Still though, randomly adding people without any prior context is straight up suspicious

[marble sparrow]

ik, but who has not friends, does not know how to gain friends

[quasi mantle]

It's fine if there's a prior context, like "hey, turns out you have same interest as I do!"

[marble sparrow]

early on facebook ppl were sending friend request to anyone to share interest with ppl

[marble sparrow]

yeah i know

[marble sparrow]

"hey, turns out you have same interest as I do!"

still creepy

[tawdry wadi]

I see I'm not needed here well it's fine

[quasi mantle]

What year was that lol
I don't recall that happen even in 2012

[zinc wagon]

i remember back in the facebook days where i was accepting all the invitations i get on it because it made me look "popular"

[quasi mantle]

Well, we just want explanation behind adding people without context, that's all

[marble sparrow]

just answer the simple question, ur act was weird

[quasi mantle]

Don't misconstrue as us being unwelcoming, but it is still suspicious.

[warm bloom]

no Tricia we are just poking fun cause it is a peculiar situation if you're actually real it's okay

you have 5 fish

Just Cause 2 did not aged that well

[marble sparrow]

drown in water and fishes can not drown in water lol

[zinc wagon]

fish can drown btw. if there's not enough oxygen in the water

[warm bloom]

you don't even get a drum Mr itchy nose

don't mention that game

why can't I

is there a just cause?

[quasi mantle]

If you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand

[warm bloom]

can y'all not ping me

I was dreaming about Laura not existing

it was pleasant

now I'm back to reality

[quasi mantle]

Well, at least Trials of Mana's stock FOV is offensively narrow to me.

[warm bloom]

where everything I do is under constant judgement by her emojis

and it's scary

[marble sparrow]

literally we don't know who r u

[thin aspen]

If it were any wider you’d realize how small the maps are

[quasi mantle]

I'd rather take that.

[zinc wagon]

the investors and shareholders dont

[thin aspen]

I haven’t figured out if they use level streaming or not, but in reality I think it’s an LOD issue as to why the FOV is narrow

[marble sparrow]

who r u ?

[thin aspen]

You can see what I’m talking about at certain parts

[marble sparrow]

we call it scammer

[thin aspen]

Laura doesn’t do anything we’ve been over this in #cpp already

Actually what Laura does depends on how spicy you want to get because she learncpp’d you

[warm bloom]

I don't know still doesn't ring the same bell as "Tricia"

[zinc wagon]

wish someone told me tick, cast and function are not bad as i thought early on 😢

[stiff crystal]

for real tho

[zinc wagon]

i still unintentionally avoid casts. even in cpp

[stiff crystal]

it's kinda amazing that even UE5 doesn't have equivalent of some kind of prefab that doesn't corrupt itself if you change your game code

[zinc wagon]

like i know the performance impact is negligible but still

[warm bloom]

is casting bad?

I mean

[zinc wagon]

nope

[warm bloom]

obviously

you never really need to do it

[marble sparrow]

nope but utubers said yes and all followed them lol (me included)

[zinc wagon]

on that's actually good to know! what's the difference between it and cast<T>() tho?

[stiff crystal]

you mean they are not on sale now?

[zinc wagon]

ah ok thanks

[stiff crystal]

right

[marble sparrow]

i did later

[warm bloom]

well coming from typecasting in typescript there's barely any times where you shouldn't simply do a sanity check or like 80% of the time it's already inferred properly

hmm

[stiff crystal]

which is why you burn auto with flames

[warm bloom]

you could yeah if you are a monster

[zinc wagon]

for me auto == lambda

that's why i only use it for that

[stiff crystal]

you can burn lambda too

[zinc wagon]

i dont even know what type a lambda is lol

[warm bloom]

I think I have one project where I had to cast because I broke the typescript compiler

with some fancy bidirectional inference

it's the ugliest code I've ever written

[zinc wagon]

might as well use javascript at this point

they burned everything for you

[stiff crystal]

yes, as much as I love blender

[warm bloom]

this is the unspeakable code

the nasty ass code

that works

it's screenshot from mobile

that's all you get

[stiff crystal]

godot is great

after few decades of using open source tooling I'm actually assuming that gizmo works as intended

I've tried to use blender since early 2000's

[warm bloom]

you know we got all the new fancy ui of ue5 and the blueprints still look so ass

they are so inconsistent in sizing to

it bothers me so much

[zinc wagon]

I actually hate bforartists UI with a passion.

[stiff crystal]

but there's paid plugin that make the blueprints look like Unity's node graphs

tbh

I'd want UE's material graph work like Unity's Shader Graph

[warm bloom]

unity shader graph is honestly so sexy

[stiff crystal]

SG has a ton of convenience things that UE materials lack

like actually having constant slots by default on each input pin

[quasi mantle]

Unity's shader programming is only few good thing Unity still has these days

[zinc wagon]

I prefer blenders' UI more lol. Tbf that was the only 3D tool i ever used so I'm a bit baised

[quasi mantle]

Imagine having to go through all the hoops just to make a compute shader

[stiff crystal]

only people who love blenders UI are people who don't know about other tools

like, imagine you never used better image editor than MS paint

[zinc wagon]

Along side C# support. God I miss you my beloved

[stiff crystal]

ok, it would still suck

but.. like Gimp

you wouldn't be annoyed by the backwards designed UX that much if you didn't know it could work nicer

[quasi mantle]

I like post 2.8 Blender UI more

2.79 and prior were atrocious

[stiff crystal]

also pre 2.5

[quasi mantle]

End of discussion.

[stiff crystal]

they keep saying these things on every second major release

I keep giving blender new chance after they redo their UI

and I keep pulling my hair off every time

[quasi mantle]

If you thought Blender 2.79 and prior UI is good, you should seek mental asylum

No joke

[stiff crystal]

at least they took away that lasso selection from hierarchy list

imagine someone actually thinking that was a good idea

[quasi mantle]

You're a f||uck||ing psychopath if you say pre-2.8 UI is good

[stiff crystal]

or I dunno if it still works.. but at least they now support more industry standard selection

[quasi mantle]

Box selection now just dragging on the viewport
Though I don't use Maya controls

[stiff crystal]

industry standard layout is kinda cruel joke on blender

they've set easy rebinding for common actions only if you use stock blender layout

if you swap it, you have to rebind spacebar on like few dozen places

[quasi mantle]

I never used Maya to great extent, but being used with Blender for years (I don't want to pirate Maya, thank you) I felt the "Industry Standard" controls are cumbersome.

Let me use the software the way others using it.

[warm bloom]

when I was first learning blender it was the og ui

and I was hype like oh cool new ui

but honestly I think og ui was easier to use

blenders ui in general feels like they took inspiration from photoshop

but it's 3d modelling software

[zinc matrix]

imagine using ui in blender. thats crazy.

[zinc wagon]

I model using python

And I use tkinter for my 2d sketchs

[quasi mantle]

Berating others for liking something is the real culture

[bleak remnant]

You guys use blender?

[zinc wagon]

i personally write each vertex information by hand

[celest musk]

vertexes are for wimps

[broken sigil]

I first write it on paper then I write it again in notepad, it helps me plan out the mesh

[zinc wagon]

i also do my weight painting manually, it's great especially with high density meshes

[celest musk]

you don't need to paint weights if you make your game in a space setting 🧠

[zinc matrix]

i actually do that, and every time someone mentions nanite and skeletal meshes...

@storm sphinx Explain how to setup the Gameplay Ability System for UE5 in the format of a Metal Gear Solid codec conversation

[storm sphinx]

"Snake, we need to set up the Gameplay Ability System for our UE5 project. Do you know how to do that?"

"Affirmative, Otacon. It's actually a relatively straightforward process.

First, you'll need to install the Gameplay Ability System plugin in your UE5 project. To do this, go to the Plugins menu in the Editor, and select the Gameplay Ability System plugin from the list. Click the Install button to install it.

Next, you'll need to create a new Ability System component. To do this, go to the Components menu in the Editor, and select the Ability System component from the list. Drag and drop it onto your player character or NPC.

Once you have the Ability System component in your project, you'll need to set up your abilities. To do this, go to the Content Browser, and create a new Ability Blueprint. In the Blueprint editor, you can define the properties and functionality of your ability.

Finally, you'll need to bind your abilities to input events. To do this, go to the Input settings in the Editor, and create a new Action Mapping for your ability. Then, assign the input event (such as a button press) to the ability.

And that's it! Your Gameplay Ability System is now set up and ready to use in your UE5 project.

Any questions, Snake?"

And then a Visual Studio vs Rider debate but as if it was a lawyer tv series argument in court

snoopdog explaining why hotreload is bad

[storm sphinx]

Judge: "We are here today to determine which is the superior integrated development environment: Visual Studio or Rider.

Lawyer for Visual Studio: "Your honor, Visual Studio has been the industry standard for decades. It's trusted by millions of developers worldwide and has a vast array of features and tools that make it the ultimate tool for software development.

Lawyer for Rider: "Your honor, while Visual Studio may have a long history, Rider is the newcomer on the block that is quickly gaining traction among developers. It has a sleek and intuitive interface, and its cross-platform capabilities make it the ideal choice for developers working on multiple projects across different operating systems.

Judge: "Thank you both for your arguments. It's clear that both Visual Studio and Rider have their own strengths and appeal to different developers. Ultimately, the choice of which one to use will depend on the specific needs and preferences of the individual developer. The court hereby declares this case closed."

Yo, what's good? It's your boy Snoop Dogg comin' at ya with a message about hot reloading.

Now, I ain't hatin' on hot reloading or nothin', but there are definitely some drawbacks to using it.

First off, hot reloading can be unreliable at times. It can cause weird bugs and glitches that can be a pain in the ass to track down and fix.

Additionally, hot reloading can be slow, especially if you have a lot of assets or code that need to be reloaded every time you make a change. This can really slow down your workflow and make it tough to get things done efficiently.

Finally, hot reloading can be a security risk. If you're working on sensitive code or data, hot reloading can potentially expose that information to others if you're not careful.

So, while hot reloading can be a convenient tool, it's important to weigh the pros and cons before relying on it too heavily. Just something to think about, ya dig?

Multiplayer prediction as if it was s David Lynch movie

[zinc wagon]

a father in his death bed explaining to his children why you should use both c++ and blueprint

[storm sphinx]

The air was thick with the hum of electricity as I stepped into the multiplayer lobby. The flickering fluorescent lights seemed to dance in time with the pulsating music, a strange and eerie melody that seemed to come from another realm entirely.

I scanned the room, taking in the strange, surreal sights before me. Players of all shapes and sizes were scattered about, their eyes fixed on their screens as they prepared for battle.

Suddenly, a voice boomed through the speakers, a deep, guttural voice that seemed to reverberate through my very being. "Players, take your positions," it commanded.

As I stepped up to my station, I could feel the tension in the air. The other players seemed to shimmer and shift before my eyes, their faces contorting into grotesque, otherworldly visages.

I closed my eyes, focusing on my breathing as I tried to steady my nerves. When I opened them again, the room was filled with a dense fog, the other players nothing more than shadowy figures moving through the mist.

And then, the game began.

As we fought, the world around us seemed to twist and warp, reality itself becoming fluid and unreliable. I could feel the weight of the multiplayer prediction bearing down on me, the fates of countless players hanging in the balance.

And yet, somehow, through the chaos and confusion, I emerged victorious. As the fog lifted and the music came to a crescendo, I knew that I had reached the pinnacle of multiplayer greatness.

But as I basked in the glow of my victory, I couldn't shake the feeling that this was all just a strange, surreal dream. A dream that was somehow, inexplicably, tied to the mystical power of multiplayer prediction

[storm sphinx]

My dear children, as I lay here on my deathbed, I want to impart upon you some wisdom that I have learned throughout my years as a developer.

You see, in the world of game development, there are two main languages that are used: C++ and Blueprint. Now, some people might argue that one is better than the other, but I believe that the real key to success is to use both to their full potential.

C++ is a powerful language that is used to create the core functionality of a game. It's fast, efficient, and gives you a lot of control over how your game works.

On the other hand, Blueprint is a visual scripting language that allows you to create gameplay elements and logic without having to write any code. It's much easier to use and can be a great tool for prototyping and quickly iterating on ideas.

So, my dear children, I implore you to embrace both C++ and Blueprint in your own game development journey. They each have their own strengths and can complement each other beautifully if used together. Don't be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you.

And with that, I bid you farewell. May you go on to create great things and make me proud.

omg this is som much fun!

shame i cant use it

[storm sphinx]

Alright the last one was very funny

I need to go to sleep friends

Xd

[zinc wagon]

have a good night sleep my friend 👋

[tulip orbit]

quick! drink this coffee!

[zinc wagon]

too late

he passed out

[tulip orbit]

aw 😦

[zinc wagon]

he will be missed 🪦

[tulip orbit]

will he?

badge lost

[timber viper]

just wrote a few hundreds of lines to take the laura's challenge to nativize a cursed BP to C++

and it compiled.. lets see how it will convert

it crashed

[deep copper]

atleast you tried ! 😢

[deep copper]

so adorable

[timber viper]

i think i broke the recursion

[deep copper]

broke out of it right?

right??

[timber viper]

nope

broke my recursive function to evalute node pins

[deep copper]

😭

is this the price you have to pay for this challenge?

[timber viper]

tbh somehow this is the most fun programming i made

and i have no idea what i am doing

[deep copper]

so this is what playing in programming looks like

what do you get when you win ?

[timber viper]

nothing

just fun

and a working BP to C++ display plugin

void TESTACTOR::ReceiveBeginPlay()
    {
        ACharacter* Character = Cast<Character>(DefaultSceneRoot);
        if (Character) // cast to object succeeds
        {
        }
        else // if cast fails
        {
            // this is the function calls nativization code
            UCppGeneratorEditorSubsystem::TestGenerate(this);
        }
    }

for some reason it skips print string

but at least cast works now

[deep copper]

so it works ?

[deep copper]

o

[timber viper]

gotta nativize this

i think it'll be finished during evening

[deep copper]

what is it supposed to do ? it waits based on character speed ?

[timber viper]

its just to troll me

since its difficult to nativize to c++

[deep copper]

xD

that's quite a logically confusing challenge

[timber viper]

because of how Tick uses an output pin from beginplay's cast node and sequence + delay exists

the thing is, every output param is secretly a class member in BP - so I already resolve that issue 😄

[deep copper]

so it's the combination of those which is just hard huh

[timber viper]

As Character pin is promoted to a class member after execution

sequence node just ignored, looping its "then" pins and pasting result directly

and delay is just a timer with a lambda

[marble sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/cats-gif-18522847

i am dizzy now

[deep copper]

i... i cannot understand anymore ..

[timber viper]

class py_class:
  character AsCharacter

when you compile BP, cast node's "As Character" output pin becomes this behind the scenes

but in the graph it looks like an output pin

but actually its a class member

[deep copper]

ah

[timber viper]

when you access it, you access the class member

[deep copper]

so it outputs a class member

[timber viper]

it "sets" a class member inside of the node and outputs it
