wonder if firefox will be the main browser soon as that 3.0 thing comes out
Manifest v3's the thing
I can never remember the name of it, cause I'm an old man.
I'm watching the Invincible right now and until ep4 you were seeming like a cool guy in the series
Manifest v3 can't do jackshit to my adblockers
its merely of choosing the guy who spy your house
Microsoft is American and makes it better than CCP
depends tbh ๐คฃ
It's a sarcasm btw
on the subject who I prefer to sent my data unwillingly I'm serious
but almost everything feels like better than CCP
even some specific.. presidents.. in the world
Many "privacy activists" have bias on that regards anyway
Uncle Sam is free to skin me deep, but CCP needs more than dozen layer of c||ondom||
It's the same old ending, time to go
So get out!
hey.. if you think you can change the subject with a cute animal when I ask a question...
you're right
so relatable omg
this is not fun at all 

i can steal from RigVM
I never used, just meme'd but I get why it sucks now
how
boilerpate stuff probably
cpp people do too
The value of one might change, you know.
Is that why Ghidra uses Java?
Ghidra
@past rover flax engine is also considering c++ as script
like you
though 3 min is quite achievement
Some "nativization" type stuff?
even godot takes 8 min
which c++ version
and how much iwyu
why not 20
use coroutines
be innovative
thats not possible
unless you have something better than 5990x thing
you need to visit us someday too - we are great at causing drama
that doesnt count
real chads modify the engine
2k views 
bots
from benui & nick darnell replies probably
there was also a reply and cool feedback from a riot games programmer too
why not?
there are always creative people
please stop considering javascript
It's gonna get complex with references to other classes, native and probably even worse other bp classes
Interpreting byte code would probably be easier as the graph is already evaluated/compiled for you, should logically make more sense than the raw graph
stop considering c#
Converting "node chains" to c++ is not the problem, resolving the references and replacing the existing BPs with generated code is.. but its still great as "C++ display" of blueprint graph
though good thing is engine already provides a working reference resolver
even exist in editor
part after "and" is difficult
What I'm saying is interpreting the bytecode should be cleaner to parse and generate C++ code based on it than having custom logic for different types of nodes
Lol
I could use dissambler to see human readable bytecode output
but its also troublesome
.uasset doesnt have bytecode in parsable format afaik
You can probably hack you way around it to get it
Wait, Eren-chan wants to implement a VM inside UE? ๐ค
Nativization
No, I'm trying to convert BP graphs to C++
Ah... why?
Mostly to learn and gain experience, but also hoping to get it working at least at "c++ preview plugin" level
pasta*
who tf would travel that far for a sandwhich?
not me
same thing as "use UE instead of writing game engine"
which makes sense.. but I liked that pasta a lot
It is hard to fight with programming curiosity
How do you make your Unreal game moddable for players? So they can make new maps, etc
Hire developers
@timber viper what about instead of converting everything to c++ what epic tried to do and what has way too many edge cases
Why not implement something like dummy nodes nativization start/end
And when packaging or whatever it converts that part of the bp into a c++ function for and replaces the logic in the bp with the c++ function ๐ค
UGS thing or custom level editor with some suffering
external references can not be nativized
and function graphs
you only get to nativize a few little things
Also physics rotation collisions, pretty plz
I thought of a "collapsed graph" that bakes everything into a file in a module - it was even going to had input/output params, similar to "Math Expression" node but I'm stuck at nativizing function graphs and things you call from outside of the class scope
link pls ๐
That's not what I mean, I mean implement "markers" that mark parts of the graph that should get nativized, so you could mark heavy parts of the logic, math, etc.. and only that part gets converted
FInstancedStruct
does anyone know if blueprints need a force update for the UE water system?
yeah but doesnt it evaluate to the same problem
for example when you call BP_Weapon's function from a nativized code block inside of BP_Character
BP_Weapon's functions are not nativized
so overhead remains
you only optimize current function calls inside of the start/end scope
haskell?
cobol?
fortran 1970?
That's the point, you mark something like a heavy loop to be nativized and return to the bp land after the loop
Ah, I see - actually I just need to write a K2Node for that currently, my current code supports nativizing rest of the stuff
Are there any Unreal Engine games I can make maps for? Want to practice mapping without having to make a whole game first, kind of like the quake mapping community, but getting reps on UE instead
I kinda wish epic implemented this nativization of specific regions of the graph
Instead of what they tried to do
I'd recommend using engine instead and reading about LD theory
I'm not sure since nativization was removed but from what I can see the generated code wasnt actually broken in nativization
it was how data was passed to generated file
which was similar to hot reload
breaking references etc
and custom reflected types like collision enums etc required custom support
so its completely about Epic didnt want to fix nativization if I'm right
I couldnt bear reading nativization code from github repo thats why I cant be sure
The problem was also often that it was missing includes or modules and it would fail to even compile
Kinda what I'm suggesting ๐
disappears to write a K2Node and node-to-file syncing stuff
Nativizations is like the ultimate straw for drowning people
Like if you have a part of the logic that you know it's slow you could mark it for nativization to only convert that part
because if i would want to use C++ i wouldnt touch BPs at the first place
Sorry I'm just too amazing, I can't help it
can confirm
you imagine me
See^
they half-ass many things
Ask them why component transform update performance is still as* ๐ฅฒ
i already integrated squirellnoise
he didnt answer when i did
btw Sony has a slide from 2006 explains why Epic's current algorithms suck at 2023
The technology is simply just not there yet, by 2043 we might be able to do it ||/s||
Btw @timber viper where are you placing the generated files
do any better than being mocked since 2006? because thats also quite achievement ๐
currently just printing - my plan is to generate a custom module (if its not already existing) and place to there
link pls
The whole current component system should go in a dumpster if they plan on improving it
This chat becomes even more radical than before
lol
K
this doesnt help with marketing of xii
do better
one step more nonsense and you'll say Blueprints VM is fast
why you delete stuff
slow down your GC time
its a common thing on every other engine
except UE
why its secret
It didnt hurt UE
see Lumen
I only install once
So I just care about after the installation
there are.. background noises btw
can confirm
except some rare cases
One of the last things I heard was someone picking up their rabbit from the ground caused it to break its spine.
My rabbit was vicious
Had to wear welding gloves to pick the bugger up
Actual hell spawn
did it taste good?
Lol
The other day a chef told me how to differentiate a rabbit's meat from cat's one.
One had flat ribs. Forgot who tho, I think it was the rabbit.
They both have curved ribs. ๐คท
I think they mean like the bone itself is round/flat
Yeah, the bone profile.
I'm like 99% sure cats have round ribs
It's rabbits.
Ive never eaten cat ribs
Pro tip: Remove the ribs before serving cat.
when you guys eat the corpse of your enemy do you take the bones out? I think they're a pretty nice crunch when you're in the mood
obviously after you got the blood out for a smoothie
I have to get my head around replication for inventories
Replicate changes and in case of a desync refresh the whole shebang.
Yeah I thought I could have the inventory on the player controller, then use the server to talk to it
It's pretty much the last thing to replicate
I'd think the player controller would recommend actions for the inventory to take but otherwise be separate (a la controllers and pawns)
Yeah I'm thinking because it's the controller it should have a BPC
I thought I could get away with structs
Not surprising considering 3D CG in anime often take a backseat, and done in half-assed way.
Stuff like those are what makes 3D CG left sour taste on weebs.

with due respect pls keep it secret
the deadline cause many regret
they didn't give us enough budget
obviously
On that note, I don't know if MadHouse still use Unreal for the backgrounds 
More like #graphics ('the npr questions! the npr questions!')
Most contemporary anime these days don't give NPR shaders to the environment
Which is what I'm doing (with adaptive painterly effect)
Their first mistake was hiring a slacker
they could've named it "the epic password reset" like that "the great depression" thing
context?
context?
i think the great depression was something like a recession
i am not too sure
normally when people refer to a historical event they don't put "thing" after
ah i am just referring to the name
I thinkk "Epic Games Account" is good enough for puns.
not the event
I thought it was just my life?
wow so funny and based!
it was everyone's life back then ๐
you were alive when it happened?
nope, that's what i heard people say
i don't even live where it happened, i think it was some European stuff
Western world stuff
literal worldwide thing
but ok
pretty much only place that wasn't effected was the Soviet Union
maybe it's because you don't really suffer from not trading if there's no trading to begin with y'know
now it's starting to sound like you lived there when it happened ๐

I think we should have a cutoff age for voting...somewhere like 50
Over 50 ๐
Nope and I am glad I wasn't
i would vote for u ๐ฆ
and yours is the only vote which matters , since you are my whole world! ๐ฆ
unless you vote against hugs
Find a room you two, spare the rest of the world.
we r not ||gays ||sir
This wouldn't stop you.
a roo from u might stop it ๐ฆ
I don't shit roos ๐ค
I swear theyre both AU
Same aura
wondered the same
hey we are following the rules now, we no longer hug
can you swim or drive or something
nah, i can code
guess we aren't all that different xD
but well you can code so there's one point
tbh the mods did do good as people would complain it looks like an ai, but they could've handled it way better
it does have a "photobash" feel
they figured out that we are one person. should we use one account ? ๐ฆ
but we can't roo publicly then
Might not have happened if the mod was AI ๐

I don't mind it, I always enjoy passing knowledge on

Name ya files correctly, don't make an MMO for your first game and don't work from external USBs
That's just moderator moment.
Reddit has similar incidents on other subreddits
i get the first 2, what's that on the end though, how do you work from USBs? like store everything there? wouldn't the transfer rate be super trash?
Little to do with AI art, more to do with rash decision making
Which is common among community moderators
People work from external drives if they're on laptops with a 250gb HDD for unreal
it was just years of madness against bad mods exploding on this i guess
ah, what do you do instead then
If anything Unreal Slackers is one of few exception of good moderation for Discord server
Work from your main drive or upgrade the SSD
r/Minecraft has similar incident
one of the reasons i never post anything on reddit, commenting is cool though
Someone make a memorabilia of his deceased girlfriend in r/Minecraft, posting some follow up, mods step in and called him "milking karma from his dead girlfriend"
Smaller subreddits are much more civil though
ah yeah, reddit has the whole issue with karmas too
there's too many repeat posts with bots as well
e.g. subreddit with lesser known franchises
Those are pretty civil, and I regularly post my machinima creations there
i guess there would be less offenders in smaller communities
Also on that note, I feel like machinima creations aren't well suited in here, hence I rarely post them here
in the bigger ones, mods probably went insane after all that moderation
i have heard the term but can't pin point it what was it
Basically using game engine to make cinematics. It's kinda different than virtual production where machinimas often use models from games (which I did, hence I rarely post them here - you can check out my pixiv though, I post still renders there)
ah i see ๐ค , i will take a look if i ever run into this field
You may have seen SFM (Source Filmmaker) stuff, those are machinima
(not to be confused with Machinima the former MCN)
I admit, me doing those idolmaster machinimas are mainly my excuse to learn and test animation and material stuff
But yeah, the machinima project using models from existing game is what makes me refrained from posting it here, even if I make the materials, Control Rig, some of the VFX, and the results are good. It's even part of my R&D process where I learned rigging and animating process.
in the same interview the showrunner says they didn't want it to be your regular zombie show
...which makes them remove the spores ๐ค
that just doesn't make sense to me ๐
they said there wont be much gore or violence overall, that they can do better than the games
well that's expected imo because a tv show doesn't require a gameplay loop (which is violence and gore essentially in the game)
in a way but the world of Last of Us is pretty violent on its own, not sure what it'll be without that. Probably a talkfest monologue city like TWD
who knows, maybe they'll take advantage of the lighter sequences in the games, the zoo escape or the museum but without the darkness not sure how much impact those would have
I know what it'll be, its a show about an old guy hoisting a young girl up into places to drop down ladders ๐
need a faster disk drive ๐
it can do 6 Gbps writes

Well its better than mine

@marble sparrow do you python ?
Au as in mr Mons ?
Affectionateuser
nope i am avoiding it, i know c++,c#,JS,Java,Dart
Did you say because mons live in australia lol
yes lol
Why did you learn dart
@marble sparrow it may well be done in something other than python yet so ๐
Mods appearing in lounge because of a ping at 3am
i was confused about what to work, i learnt dart for flutter (mobile dev.)
beside game dev. because game dev. is not worthy here
Probably same confusion made you learn js too because otherwise why would anyone embrace that suffering 
:question: does pinging do good for you?
:8ball: Very doubtful.
manny knows
i am not good at it so you don't need me, you are probably better off asking eren tbh ๐
hahaha
Me and my 3 brain cells only understand C-like languages
i will learn nodejs so i needed JS
maybe i can do this in node i am not sure yet
just believe in yourself
What are you trying to do
both
Why people need node or react instead of raw js?
grab data from Bungies API, sort it, and display it on the front end
send node ๐
๐
what's bungies
Is there any specific point you are stuck at?
bungie, as in, makers of halo and destiny
what does the API even give you so far?
i can write a connector to open a session with the api, but after that, its all new
:question: is eren pushing too hard?
:8ball: Signs point to yes.
eugh a hell of a lot of data most of it i dont need, i need to examine the list of endpoints properly tomorrow to see how much sorting will be needed
:question: is NigeyS pushing too hard?
:8ball: My reply is no.
I'm not familiar with working with external APIs too, I'm too fixed on gamedev/UE
No idea why bungie provides an api for Python instead of js or other relevant things though
sounds like you aren't stuck more like, tired to work on it
horses love js
its not specifically for python, i just used python to write the connector
ah, so now you will pass it off to something you are familiar with?
yes
eren and all his braincells :
even au is pushing too hard
if you mean pushing it away, yes
๐

I don't come here often but when I do I usually see everyone talking about Eren ๐ค
Our wife
๐ฅณ


Its a rare occurance
see eren on gif
Visitting lounge is a fast way to grow your block list
Can confirm.
block eren ๐คท
so many commands, these look like some forum commands ๐ค
Makes sense tbh
the forum commands i dont need
I've seen those creeps of yours, saying that they are going to Turkey and want to visit you and all
eren is very famous and interactable
yes very
probably the least blocked person on the server that is active
I can be interactable too ๐ฅบ
๐
just do not hug him, it is sexual assult for him
rookie mistake
you dont reply to au like that
rip
i have never seen you in my entire life xD
im mostly active on #cpp
no wonder you love eren too
it's all coming together โ๏ธ
I... do?
Matchmaking is the devil
well apparently
I guess all the attention given to me in whole year fit into 5 minutes today and i have no idea why its happening
Maybe because your nickname is purple
nitro huh ๐
Bringing friends (and others) upon you
everytime you come here, you notice only eren.. you finally got the courage to talk about it. you have been hanging out in cpp where eren mostly is... i mean, it all adds up
he literally came for the first time
rich ppl are famous (eren paid 0.1 dollar for nitro)
1.23*
said* something for the first time, he might have been coming here often
don't say it out loud! ๐ ๐
time to escape other lounge for me 
I'm starting to have some concerns.
I wished happy christmas a while ago on lounge, its not my first time
i guess we should get back to NigeyS' issue, what do you need help with exactly?
i really don't remember seeing a duck, did you look like something else before?
let me get back to you in a bit, i have to play minecraft with my daughter until 3pm
so cute
yeah, I changed it like a month ago, I had a hand profile pic before
rip, hard at work .. just be mindful of your back i suppose!
the torture
no wonder i don't recall you
eren likes handshakes
it makes more sense
the duck though, does eren like ducks?

Steam Duck
cats like ducks and eren like cats, i think it is valid
ah, so ducks for cat
hmm, so eren will catch the duck for cat, it changes to a hand and eren will handshake
i will go pray back in 10
sounds like a good trap
goodluck (?)
it's fun to watch 60fps gifs

The striker latch for my wifeโs car came off today, that was a pretty interesting fix
My biggest question was how they got it on to begin with
was it a weird and uncomfortable fix
Extremely weird and uncomfortable
There wasnโt any missing washers so I canโt seem to figure out how they got it on when they built it to begin with let alone stay in place
Striker latch?
The part that the door latches onto when you close it
And this is metal to plastic so itโs not like they could have welded it, it doesnโt look like there was any glue there either
There might be a screw the other side.
But the solution was to get a nut and screw the bolt into the nut and just hammer it into the hole that was there
Screw/bolt
+1
The screws were outward facing, the only thing I could think of is maybe like a flange, but the flange wouldnโt have been able to fall through to the inside of the body
in which case, car companies literally said "screw it"
And even if they did fall through I would have seen them sitting in my driveway
Either way though itโs fixed and I can now go play video games, and more importantly the car can be driven without having to hold the door when you make turns
You'd be better off tying it up...
Then Iโd have to drill a hole in the car because if I tie it through the holes there the car door wonโt close all the way
Tie something on the inside of the door to the seat next to it.
Oh we already did that before with my uncles car, didnโt end well
He no longer has that van
Didn't do it very well then!
Oh we're getting geeky this Sunday morning! I just installed my first Vim plugins, and am very excited about fzf and ripgrep together for fuzzy searching within files; going to use in conjunction with a Dropbox folder of markdown files for my own searchable notes as I embark on learning Unreal Engine.
Vim advertisement?
I'm fine with that.
yey
also fuck iptables ๐ก

imagine you put your hand in the fur and it keeps going in
it's probably one of those, that have paper thin body and just hair for volume
Why are hairless cats not more popular?
look scary and skinny bro
i mean, if it's skin you want, get a human xD fur is probably what people want in animals
so that it's a warm walking carpet
i would get u ๐ฆ
you already got me ๐ฆ
slackers: here they go again ๐ข
ah don't worry, they can just block and hide us !
i do not like block ๐ฅน
that cats face looks like a butt
it's cute bro
That cat is cute. I just wouldn't want to pet it. Most hairless cats look much worse.
this is a kitten so it is cute, when it get bigger it looks bad
it looks like someone prepared it for a meal
slander
yeah 80% of his body is merely fur
its essentially so skinny
i love my cat
because it isn't even soft
cats with short hair feel softer than those
Idk this one was most of the time softer than short haired ones
well, she looks like a in between both worlds
fur looks still pretty dense
the long haired ones usually haven't as dense fur, as the long hair insulates them well enough
A cat with no shame

busy with me?
actually making progress on my game for first time in a while
goodluck!
Thanks ๐
once you ship it to the stores, i will never ask you to touch me again

get to work !
stop distracting me then!
@deep copper we won, they love ~~hugging ~~rooing now

Cool I won the fornite. Guess those quake skills paid off ๐
Or it was all 10 year old newbs
That's what I wanted to test out, the new Lumen stuff. Looks great! Even with the stylized art which makes the game look cheap/plasticy overall (to my eyes)

Kind of correct
Nope
god
was at a pet store im into birds yes
THEY WANTED $1100 a piece for pineapple green cheek conures with very normal coats
i asked cause i was curious seeing them there after like a year
AND THEY ARE CHARGING SO MUCH
I HATE IT
come to my hardware store, we got lots of bird flying around inside, catch one and its yours ๐
nah i got my pet pigeon
She looks a lot like Stephen Fry right there.
hey there guys, so im kinda stuck with writing a description about my project. It's a virtual museum and i want a short and professional description but somehow i cant come up with anything. Would appreciate a bit of help!
Wow thanks thats a start!!! I really appreciate it!
Maybe I can feed it evidence
keep up the good work!
good to know i was wrong in this case haha ๐
hey all. i still get messages about my job i posted time ago and would like to mark the job as sorted to stop that. does anyone know how to do this?
thank you
When I type /remove job to Manny nothing happens.. Sorry I'm being clueless ha

like yeah composition over inheritance sounds great, but then C# doesn't have a nice way to share implementations across interfaces. default interfaces require casting everywhere, and generic interface extension methods only get you so far
so, here we are again
thoughts?
perhaps you need benchmark that first to make it happen
unity is getting some new stuff
engine development drama become boring for me after 5.0
only a few engines seems to be able to get things right
have you followed DX12 development?
Hey everyone, we recently updated our d3dx12.h file! Previously, users were required to head to DirectX-Headers repo to grab the nice d3dx12.h helper files. The recent Agility SDK 1.608.2 release bundles this repo with the Nuget packages! There are no differences between the two packages.
What is it about High on Life that looks offensively like old Unreal 4 games? Heavy AO?
it's the lack of GI, it's all uniform lighting in areas that are not directly lit

It's pretty funny

8 speeds up quite a bit after disc 1
you shouldnt miss other 4
yes
i tried mortal shell. i got lost in first 10 minutes. and since theres no map. well thats it for me
I realized any engine I can access going through a cursed development process instead of actually satisfying the people using it and somehow this seems to be becoming something people get used to very easily - which I am not able to
UE suffering from tech debt and fortnite oriented development has some serious disadvantages
Unity is already losing its userbase since two years
Godot also has its own problems, duroxx listed them well a while ago
Others are not even significant enough to mention
So either be indie or big budget company there isnt an engine you'll pickup and use without getting used to tech debt and bugs
So tldr following engine development diaries bore me because of that
Especially after lumen and nanite shipped to 5.0 as production ready but with tons of bugs
tech debt is complicated thing
from one side: you see crappy code and stuff not working all the time
from the other: you have tens of tools to do hundreds of things inside the engine
Yeah, always a dilemma
But my specific annoyance with UE is radical steps only taken if Fortnite needs it, meanwhile many core legacy stuff still exists in the engine and causing everyone to waste time during development
well changes in UE are either for Fortnite or for "Big AAA Studio" client
Pretty sure many AAA Studio complained about hot reload and legacy transform update logic since years but hot reload only replaced after 7 years and transform system yet to be... Kept in a "soon" status
some of us have seen real coding horror and these little engine squabbles are just funny to us
we're not "used to it", we just learned to accept reality
I care about shipping a game not want to accept it as it is
Or whatever it is, say used to it or accepting
All I know is when you want to fix things you are able to, many examples exist
many core legacy stuff still exists in the engine and causing everyone to waste time during development
this is one way to look at it....
the other is to look at all the time you saved by not making the rest of the engine from scratch
simply shipping a game is trivial in any engine tbh
Anyway off to bed, wasnt expecting an actual convo from my reply
it's about picking the engine that best fits the specific type of game you want to make
like anything it's about gathering requirements first
that's because they don't think like an engineer lol
most of the people I see talking about the engine war are "ideas" type
It may be overlooked as a way to get rich quick exactly, and the people pursuing that don't know how to think like an engineer and gather their requirements
instead they let emotions guide their decisions
I dont want to rely on Epic to fix lumen, statetree and some control rig stuff but I'm also not rich enough to hire an army of engineers to maintain stuff on my own
Im not talking about gameplay framework stuff here
well does your game actually need any of that
I want engines to be reliable with updates
I haven't seen a game that needs Lumen for anything (it's a nice to have)
Yes, except lumen. But they said its battle tested and production ready, so...
make your own State Tree if you have an issue with Epic's... it's a super basic concept
is fornite the only game that shipped with lumen? I would imagine other devs would try to get on that hype train
Its not just a for loop, its about data binding system and memory management
yeh but nothing in your game's actual design is forcing you to use those systems
those were choices you made
I dont care, I just want things to be maintained so I wont care about wasting months to rewrite things if they are promised to be production ready
For the love of God how do I turn off cloud synching on cyberpunk?
"Your game may or may not become available to actually play in a completely unspecified amount of time"
I dont care, I just want things to be maintained so I wont care about wasting months to rewrite things if they are promised to be production ready
This is the wrong attitude to have imo
You aren't a AAA studio so you aren't Epic's main customer; they don't care what you think and they aren't beholden to give you anything.
You should use systems that are already ready instead of trying to use cutting edge stuff hoping it will be ready in the future when they expected.
people who wrote their game in C++ were more often respected than those in Blueprints
this will always be true any time there's a script made for less experienced users and a compiled language for more experienced users
AAA studios dont get their demands easily either, most of the stuff still revolves around fortnite. I mostly complain about features to promised to added almost always released broken or buggy these days and marketed as production ready. And if I can manage to reach to some income Epic also will earn money from my project too so I dont get the ignoring everyone else but important clients and fortnite only care thing
Right because licensing the engine is a side business... the only customer they care about is Epic (and it should be this way anyways)
Any money they get from licensing your games will be unperceivably small compared to making a new skin for Fortnite
this is what I mean by accepting reality
well then why get so worked up over it if you know how thing are and that they won't/shouldn't/can't change really
FWIW AAA devs either replacing parts of the engine with other libraries, or made their own implementation
yeh and that's why I'm saying instead of being upset about how much you need to replace.... be happy about how much you didn't need to replace
Even though I accept it, I dont like it
Convo started as why I got bored of engine development drama
yeh I know... I'm just saying the drama was stupid to start with
getting bored is one thing.... you should just not care at all
use the right tool for your project
Epic is going the way of Unity. All praise RPG Maker!
Niagara Fluid performance was kinda shit, and I want to go through length of implementing my own fluid sim in lower level fashion. Though it's currently in my lower prioritiy
How you looked at fluid ninja?
how much does the fluid sim matter to actual gameplay? or is this just for nice looking fluids?
Mainly cosmetic, as there will be magic effects and monsters.
Sure, there is FluidNinja LIVE, but I found the performance to be a little too heavy on lower end hardware, considering how it was higher level
Even then I'm not necessarily looking for super accurate fluid simulation, just something good enough for wind / weather system
One from God of War came into mind (though it's not exactly fluid sim and just rippling motion)
Yeah, I'm exploring lower level RDG implementation and do some compute shader. Tbh it's figuring out things as I go along.
Congrats
Thanks

bit like The Batman supposedly being the best film of 2022, feel like we're giving out participation awards ๐
Was it any good tho?
It was better than Wonder Woman 1984
Frankly, Marvel's/dc/whatever are like turkish soap opera to me - no lifetime will be enough to understand them.
Does this take long even on a high end PC?
They should do a spoof, it can be called Bruce Wayans\
Chuck plz
that sounds like some bulgarian tv viewer complaint ๐

How did EA fail so bad it corrupted 60% of peoples Madden 23 saves
๐
EA = Early Access or Earn & Acquire?
someone meant to take a selfie but hit the release update button instead
back in my day Battlefield had destructible environments
but all that waste contributed to global warming and here we are
EA on the corner of the traino begging for change to pay their server fees
Not their fan, but they in the biz since decades, they will survive
Epic gotta shut down UT master server cuz its too expensive, not enough from Fortnite to cover it
The whos basement its in died so its no longer rent controlled
UT... nostalgia noises
I get it though, games get old and dont need to be supported forever but who builds in the reliance on the internet
Having a personal server should be fine enough tho, I mean not relying only on company's ones
They dont want to fix it though, they want you to be scared your favourite game could get shut down at every moment... so you better buy those skins now while you can
arnt they all "company servers" these days
Frankly, I don't know. Very rarely I play multiplayer and if I do it is one-time thing.
Anyway, what caused that rant?
Not really a rant, just general games industry stuff
not much out of the usual tbh
Most of the SP games I play have some level of connectivity too
I think where there is a rise in popularity, there is inevitable lowering of average quality.
games, assets, whatever, music even
Everyone told me in the start when I was sceptical of Steam, they told me good guy Valve would release the code make it possible to play the games without servers... These days Im less and less inclined to believe it.
I get it, companies need to make money but is patching out online components so a game is still playable that difficult?
Oh ofcoarse it is, if it were easy we wouldnt have all these lovely full price remasters allowing you to pay for the game again and again
cod?
Last of Us has been made 3 times... how bout just a third game chaps
It was different part of the story?
I'm hungry
Games were already doing the super hero thing in the 80s so I guess they just remake any old thing
Im just from a different era, you wouldnt know what new game was waiting for you in the arcade
sometimes you'd see them take the old machines so you knew something was coming, you hadnt seen any gameplay or nothing
It was abit like Blockbuster, you'd bump into your friends and it was a proper social experience not your friends spamming you to get credits or gear
eeh, the amount of coins sunk... I remember
maybe even more than Ive paid on MTX but I regret none of it... silly cosmetics on the other hand, theres some buyers remorse there
Its because you were paying for an experience, it wasnt material
Quick hurry up and play some more MK3, the machine is going to be leaving in 10:00... make that 9:59
Mortal Kombat Season 10324
Liu Kang still hasnt changed his jocks
In the last MK tv show I saw for few minutes, they had women fighting in a muddy bath.
MK Legacy?
I have no idea. Was the most cliche think I saw
Fighting game stories always are though arnt they
The old Jackie Chan were top notch compared to that.
Actually I shouldnt separate them from fighting movies like that tbh
and I do mean fighting movies where all the people from all walks are suddenly thrown into a death match
it could be a prison... it usually is but sometimes its the hunters who hunt people for sport
all I know is the prize is always huge and theres a bad 80s soundtrack
(you said that in announcer voice didnt you)
martial arts show?
I like how only chuck norris' moobs are work safe
Discord mods are Chuckie fans, confirmed
Lee vs Van Damme vs Norris who wins
