A substring generator would be great!

[thin aspen]

Probably one of my favorite South Park episodes

[bleak remnant]

Lol

The way unreal does sprite sheets is great

Pretty much where it ends though imo

[fleet tangle]

In what respect? How does godot do it 2d stuff differently?

Also I keep writing dogot...

[bleak remnant]

Lmao

[thin aspen]

I dogot a couple dollars for a pop or something later

[bleak remnant]

Godot has 2d components and 3d components essentially (unlike unity and unreal, Godot is real 2d)

[fleet tangle]

"real" 2d?

[bleak remnant]

Yeah

[fleet tangle]

You mean there's no 3rd axis?

[bleak remnant]

It's not rendered in 3d space

So it gets like 10x the frames (probably not that much but)

[thin aspen]

[harsh ember]

Genshit Impact

[bleak remnant]

Also this was probably my fault tbh but I was having collision issues for my gravity heart in unity and unreal

It could like clip to the wall

So I had to do some hacky stuff

Oh yeah also kind of a given but the workflow is way faster

That's obviously not saying much though because it's doesn't have to compile for 5 years

[fleet tangle]

I mean, it just looks like UE but with an orthographic camera and 2d sprites.

[bleak remnant]

I think it has more to do with the fact that you don't have to modify 2 files for a class maybe

And also compile times

Also since it's essentially python you can do some REALLY hacky stuff

Not even in a bad way

I can have a multiple type dictionary

[fleet tangle]

Python 😦

You can do that with unreal

Though you'd have to implement the typehash for TVariant (maybe it already exists?)

[bleak remnant]

I should look into that then, never heard of it

I can also have multi type arrays too

[fleet tangle]

Meaning?

[bleak remnant]

You don't have to static type things in GDScript

[fleet tangle]

Static types are great.

[bleak remnant]

So I could do something like

var foo = ["hi", 0, 2, RandReference]

This is obviously more useful for something like a dictionary though

[fleet tangle]

So ad hoc structs

[thin aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/cowboy-bebop-see-you-space-cowboy-gif-11423875

[bleak remnant]

Ad hoc?

[fleet tangle]

"created or done for a particular purpose as necessary."

[bleak remnant]

Oh

Yeah essentially

[fleet tangle]

Basically the compiler (or interpreter) just creates them as needed without you having to do anything.

But like, that's the benefits of a scripting language over a compiled one. If you like scripting languages, cool!

[bleak remnant]

Definitely makes the "swapping code" infinitely easier

Idk about downsides other than maybe performance? Harder time debugging?

[fleet tangle]

Lack of type safety and debugging, I suppose?

[bleak remnant]

You can still static type

Infact I only do that in GDScript

You get a performance boost in godot 4 from it

var foo : int = 32

[fleet tangle]

As long as it's not like php and just basically stores all its variadic types as strings.

Shudder

[bleak remnant]

That sounds horrifying

Yeah now that I think about it for debugging in godot there's like breakpoints and that's basically it

You can use print statements if you want haha

[fleet tangle]

Sounds great 👍

[thin aspen]

Here’s my 2 cents

https://tenor.com/view/doug-maclean-nhl-hockey-two-cents-just-my-two-cents-gif-26827690

Oh yeah I’ve been meaning to ask, how much is a pence?

Oh it’s just a penny

[fleet tangle]

It's a penny, yeah.

[celest musk]

Type declarations can be added to function arguments, return values, and, as of PHP 7.4.0, class properties.

[fleet tangle]

I did say variadic types

$blah = 5; => "5" or whatever

[celest musk]

ok, sorry

[fleet tangle]

That's probably far from accurate, but yeh.

[celest musk]

i wasn't aware of what variadic stands for 😄

thought it was a typo 😄

[fleet tangle]

Untyped, I guess.

[celest musk]

well, apparently you can do this:

function sum(int ...$nums): int
{
    return array_sum($nums);
}

but never came across this, so might be one of the later additions

[lyric pulsar]

why dont paleontologists just use locomotion ML/AI for video games like ubisoft does to find out what spino is? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR3WrzEwd2s

[pearl elk]

My biggest issue with writing design driven UIs in Unreal Engine is static types

great for memory, really poor for dynamic management

[fleet tangle]

In what way?

[pearl elk]

sometimes you just wanna smash a piece of data through the widget

writing specialised conditions for each type is epic mega cringe

[fleet tangle]

Abstraction! 😄

Subsystems!

[cursive crypt]

void*

[fleet tangle]

void*!

[pearl elk]

you cant abstract static types, look at every major subsystem in UE, they all have their own recreation of the static types

[fleet tangle]

Hey. At least I gave three answers!

Their own recreation of static types?

[pearl elk]

yeah BP, Niagara, they all replicate the APIs static types to support them directly

Void aint a wildcard, its not supported by the front end

[fleet tangle]

Replicate the APIs static types to support them directly?!

[pearl elk]

YES

that is what I said

There is no generic data type

[fleet tangle]

That's supported by the Editor?

[pearl elk]

If I want a Widget that does something with data, I have to support each static type specifically

[fleet tangle]

In the Editor?

In UMG?

[pearl elk]

Yes thats what I said, I said UIs

I contexted the entire conversation

[fleet tangle]

Well if you want to hamstring yourself to UMG, sure.

[pearl elk]

It doesnt matter which UI I use, to support the base API I have to use its static types

[fleet tangle]

And you want to use a typeless system? Like php?

[pearl elk]

Yeah more like WebDev style UIs

[fleet tangle]

I mean, you could just do everything with strings.

[cursive crypt]

I kinda still don't understand what is the problem 🤔 Maybe an example would be good.

[pearl elk]

example floats can be represented in heaps of different ways but I have to do alot of type conversions to make it happen to actually feed the value back into a strict type

[fleet tangle]

Well, there's FString and float.

I suppose you could upload a video of interpretive dance and try to access that.

[pearl elk]

Dynamic UIs are a pain in the butt, say youre generating one from a table you can make the widgets but you have to design around the type system. Rather than oh I want a slider for this float, this int, these bools. Slider supports float so there are a zillion conversions.

String wouldnt solve since youre still type converting, infact it would just slow everything down

I mean Epic could make UMG less prone to type failures but its a huge pain in the butt because of static types

[fleet tangle]

Sliders could be expanded to more types, that's for sure.

[pearl elk]

Converting the odd bool or int to a float isnt an issue but if you scale that to a full RPG UI it could end up very slow

I find myself doing things like making health a float instead of an int just to save converting it on the UI end lol

[fleet tangle]

If converting from a bool to a float and back again (even a thousand times) is slowing down your ui, I think you've done something wrong.

[cursive crypt]

Hmm... can't say I have touched dynamic generation of UIs out of some text. I used so far only prebuild blueprints.

[pearl elk]

we are talking about alot more values though, thousands. Its not the UI its the back end that gets slowed down by the front end conversion

Its shifting memory around, not the ideal scenario when strict types "are better for memory management*

[fleet tangle]

I don't see it. I can't believe a single ui is displaying thousands of values. Or that converting them will impact performance whatsoever. Unless converting between types being slow is an intrinsic problem of the BP VM

[pearl elk]

I cant even write the UI which scales that large which is the first issue

but the data fragmentation will slow things down on fetch, got nothing to do with the speed of the operation on the CPU

[fleet tangle]

I mean, why would you write a ui that bloated?

[pearl elk]

game modifications in game

perhaps most variables are editable at runtime...

[fleet tangle]

categorisation!

You don't ever want to display that many options to the user at once.

That's insane.

[pearl elk]

its not about editing all the values at the same time, its about data fragmentation by that many edits over time

lots of needless conversions pushing data around needlessly

its just not worthwhile, which is why I dont have a formal example 🙂

[fleet tangle]

I think you're just making things up, personally.

[pearl elk]

Who knows maybe this is the type of problem Verse was made to fix

[fleet tangle]

Doubt it

[pearl elk]

You see it as a problem with the UI but its really to do with the explicit nature of static types

It creates more work in having to define those explicit conversions

Generic payload for UIs would be wicked

[cursive crypt]

Needs std::any

[pearl elk]

Then I could bind using generic payloads instead of explicit types

[fleet tangle]

If you wanted a slider, you could just write a payload type that takes any possible conversion to/from any type of number and the type the slider accepts.

You could even just make it a template and have it do it implicitly

[pearl elk]

Yeah I could do that but then Id have to do it with every basic widget if I want similar functionality

[fleet tangle]

Yes, it is extra work, but you do it once.

[pearl elk]

as I said, its more about the work static types create to the point its not cost effective to even start

[fleet tangle]

Cost effective because time is money, friend?

[pearl elk]

Well Im one guy and I have games to make, if I had an army of code monkeys I would have definitely started

[fleet tangle]

Even if you had to create 100 sliders to support 100 different types, you'd only need to do it once. Take you a few hours max. And you have nowhere near 100 types you would represent with sliders.

[pearl elk]

Im amazed at your ability to write slate

[fleet tangle]

I mean, I was imagining UMG there. It would take distinctly less time in Slate because of implicit conversions and templates.

[pearl elk]

UMG is slow AF

For those about to Slate we salute you~!

[fleet tangle]

When you say slider, do you mean one you can control? Or just a progress-bar type representation?

[celest musk]

how do you slide a bool tho?

[fleet tangle]

0 and 1

2 values

[celest musk]

usually you use another switch/toggle widget for that, or a checkbox

[fleet tangle]

An int slider with 2 values.

[celest musk]

and for slider, you have float, which you can truncate to int

[fleet tangle]

Sure, using a slider for it would be stupid.

[celest musk]

and set the step size to 1

idk what kind of stuff you do, but i didn't run in the problem, with a lot of user inputs...

[pearl elk]

How much are you per hour?

I find anything is possible until I flash the cash 😛

[celest musk]

it is, the question is if you got the cash for it 😄

[fleet tangle]

SSlider is a pretty easy class to use

[pearl elk]

exactly, if its going to cost that much then my point stands

[fleet tangle]

        , _MouseUsesStep(false)
        , _RequiresControllerLock(true)
        , _Locked(false)
        , _Orientation(EOrientation::Orient_Horizontal)
        , _SliderBarColor(FLinearColor::White)
        , _SliderHandleColor(FLinearColor::White)
        , _Style(&FCoreStyle::Get().GetWidgetStyle<FSliderStyle>("Slider"))
        , _StepSize(0.01f)
        , _Value(1.f)
        , _MinValue(0.0f)
        , _MaxValue(1.0f)
        , _IsFocusable(true)
        , _OnMouseCaptureBegin()
        , _OnMouseCaptureEnd()
        , _OnValueChanged()
        {
        }``` has these options

[celest musk]

idk anything about slate tho

i only use UMG for UI

but my guess is that what can be done in UMG has to be able to be done in Slate, too

[fleet tangle]

Yes.

UMG is a slate wrapper. UMG adds nothing except being exposed.

[quasi mantle]

Also making life easier

[pearl elk]

I suppose I could look at just editing those classes directly since Im using AngelScript with a custom engine build anyway

I just hate maintaining branches, costs lots of time especially for such a meh feature

Ideally Id love to edit Epics metadata so I could do something like the editor does and just put in a tag to expose it as editable in game mod UI

then the UI could just use that to generate into a template

[fleet tangle]

You mean like the property editor module?

(that creates the details panel)

[pearl elk]

yeah exactly like the details panel but not the details panel because we're not allowed to use editor code in games

[fleet tangle]

That module is massively overcomplicated.

It's not hard to recreate it.

If you want it simplified.

[pearl elk]

yeah it would need to be simplified

[fleet tangle]

The issue would be the meta data which isn't available at runtime. You'd have to add your own system for that.

Like each class having its own static list of properties that are editable or some such.

[pearl elk]

Epic added DataStores back recently though right

[fleet tangle]

(+plus options)

Shrug

Basically you need like 10 widgets. One for each basic data type. One for arrays. One for structs. One for assets. And for the struct and array one you just nest things.

[pearl elk]

sounds like a pain in the butt, you know what I think would be easier... letting modders use Unreal Editor to modify the game 😛

[celest musk]

who said that you can't ship editor code?

[fleet tangle]

The hardest part about this is making it not look shit.

Epic did.

[celest musk]

you aren't allowed to ship an editor

where?

[fleet tangle]

Nothing in an editor module can be packaged and distributed.

[fleet tangle]

Source: I've done it. And it looked shit.

[pearl elk]

Aint that the truth, it has to be accessible too if its ingame because of all the idiots lol

[celest musk]

i haven't found a source for that statement

[fleet tangle]

Even if you can't, you can't physically packaged something in shipping if it's in an editor module.

The packager/compiler won't let you.

[celest musk]

well you can copy over methods in your own module?!

[fleet tangle]

https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/how-can-i-include-editor-code-during-packaging-project/370605/3

[celest musk]

or change the build rules for their module

[fleet tangle]

Staff reply saying it's not allowed.

[pearl elk]

Its the license, pretty sure

[fleet tangle]

Yeah. The EULA.

[pearl elk]

I wouldnt want UE taken away from me for a breach, Im sure Epic would if they thought they needed to

[celest musk]

they didn't say that it's against the EULA tho

[pearl elk]

Sometimes staff avoid legal stuff if they arnt qualified to talk on it

Can get Epic into trouble, the whole *Im not a lawyer defense

[fleet tangle]

From the EULA:

“Engine Tools” means the (i) editors and other tools included in the Engine Code; (ii) any code and modules in either the Developer or Editor folders, including in object code format, whether statically or dynamically linked; and (iii) other software that may be used to develop standalone products based on the Licensed Technology.```
```C. To other third parties who are separately licensed by us to use the Engine Code, through either the Unreal Engine Marketplace or through a fork of Epic’s GitHub UnrealEngine Network.```

[celest musk]

well, that's not perfectly clear

[fleet tangle]

It says you need to have a separate licence to distribute anything in the Editor or Developer folders.

That's pretty clear.

[celest musk]

if "standalone products" includes games made with UE

well, there might be stuff in there which is licensed to Epic for editor use (3rd party libs)

which you obviously can't ship without license

but there's even stuff on the marketplace (which is meant for runtime usage) which uses editor code

[fleet tangle]

They do say you can share it via the marketplace if you have a licence to do so.

[celest musk]

yea, rather mess with removing reviews than reviewing the content they publish...

[pearl elk]

I think Standalone Products dont use the UE source directly but still interoperate with it in some manner

[quasi mantle]

Remember when Unreal as a library/DLL announced a while ago? It was one of those things that sounded good on paper, until you realize it's using editor code

[fleet tangle]

Yup.

So you can't really do it and distribute it.

[quasi mantle]

The potential for Unreal as a library would be to make custom game editors without getting bound to the editor license, but disappointment never disappoints

[pearl elk]

I could make a UAsset viewer for example, that could be standalone if I dont use any of Epics code

[fleet tangle]

I mean, isn't a game a sort of very complicated asset viewer?

[celest musk]

well here i'm not sure about it....

[fleet tangle]

That'd be perfectly fine, as long as it had no editor code.

And it wouldn't need any.

[pearl elk]

Make a UAsset viewer in Unity... profit

[celest musk]

see, just never finish your game like me

then you don't have to care about half of the eula 😄

[pearl elk]

I never started my game, see thats forward thinking 😉

What is Stadia?

[inland oriole]

Can I consume it?

That's the most important question of them all!

[proud jay]

nah

always first "But can I f*ck it?"

[inland oriole]

no

😅

[gloomy inlet]

stadia is like

let's say uhm

[quasi mantle]

Apparently in parallel universe Stadia is a cloud gaming service that still exist despite being lowest rank

[gloomy inlet]

it's like a fast food chain

started making shoes

but failed

yeah that's stadia

[inland oriole]

But what if those shoes were meant to be able to better walk towards towards the fast food chain..

👀

[gloomy inlet]

tha'ts the idea

but when u wear them they tear off

and ur foot get damaged

[inland oriole]

🥲

[pearl elk]

Imagine renting a pair of shoes

[gloomy inlet]

yeah

just steal them

[gloomy inlet]

why do companies say too much

[fleet tangle]

That's cruel, liking the post saying they're never coming back.

[gloomy inlet]

that could be shortened to:

Hello
game ded

[inland oriole]

That's not really the way to bring that as a company though lol.

[gloomy inlet]

wait till i become a big company

2 word announcements

[inland oriole]

Maybe this is the reason why you aren't 😛

[gloomy inlet]

short & precise

no it's because i didn't start

[inland oriole]

Short & precise is still something different than just saying "thx for everything, game ded. Bye"

😆

[gloomy inlet]

idk i don't like pr talk

or anything similar

[pearl elk]

https://www.splashdamage.com/games/outcasters/

[gloomy inlet]

i love how

when you click play now

you get denied

[pearl elk]

Twitter is more important than their official site obviously

[gloomy inlet]

i mean sucks to have a game canceled cuz of a platform but

[proud jay]

I think they just don't give a shit

[gloomy inlet]

imagine trusting google

[proud jay]

no way splash damage could not make it work on other platforms

[gloomy inlet]

?? 😃

[pearl elk]

Theyre just like "do you know how much the contractor for modifying our website costs versus the community twit"

[gloomy inlet]

last time i checked ue is multiplatform

[quasi mantle]

You could decide that your game is Stadia exclusive though

[gloomy inlet]

why force L on yourself

[quasi mantle]

At least Gylt isn't lost in Stadia

[pearl elk]

No one at the company knows how to build the packaged game though 😛

[gloomy inlet]

not paid enough

[pearl elk]

the one person that did is on holiday 🤣

[gloomy inlet]

to check some boxes

[quasi mantle]

Many individuals saw it coming considering Google dumbed down effort on the marketing

[gloomy inlet]

google outside of search is loads of crap

they should stick to that

nice, 2 L companies trying to make an L game playable in ~~browser ~~chrome

[proud jay]

what have you made?

[gloomy inlet]

well i know my limits

[pearl elk]

tbh I think Google Search is abit of a let down sometimes too

Don't fret

Pay-to-win downloads for your malware

[gloomy inlet]

[proud jay]

yes, we should use Bing instead

mfs gonna be saying DuckDuckGo now, but tbh DDG results are trash compared to Google in my experience

just ignore the ad spots

[gloomy inlet]

ddgo poop

[pearl elk]

My favourite of Googles services is definitely Maps and then Finance

[quasi mantle]

DDG is reskinned Bing lol

The amount of hypocrisy on "privacy activists" are increasing

Funny how I used to buy into that kind of s||hit|| not long ago

[proud jay]

what kind of shit

[quasi mantle]

You know, those kind of "privacy activism" choice software, like Brave, DDG

[pearl elk]

This is why I dont use the internet... oh wait

[proud jay]

Brave isn't any better lol

they just serve ads that benefit them the most

[pearl elk]

Why not use Ecosia, plant some tree's while surfing the interweebs

[quasi mantle]

I mean, activists are none the wiser, hypocrites all the same

[pearl elk]

but MS values your privacy yo

just like Apple

hmm, only heard of ghostrunner from slipgate

no wonder I couldn't guess it

[pearl elk]

Ahh Slipgate, shoulda guessed

[deep glen]

slipped your mind? :p

[pearl elk]

I slipped right into that one

[proud jay]

not even flexing in discord bio

[fleet tangle]

Mark Zuckerberg?

[pearl elk]

So can we confirm Slipgate using Unreal Engine 😮

[cursive crypt]

Slacking since ...

[foggy path]

Didn't ROTT 2013 run on some variation of unreal

so Slipgate Ironworks has a pretty long unreal history really

[pearl elk]

True true, I even own and played that game 🙂

[foggy path]

Luos can hook me up with a cool publishing deal once my FPS project is done then because we're such good acquintances here

[proud jay]

so is pc saved completely @deep glen

[deep glen]

should be fine, yea

[proud jay]

nice

is the house fixed though

[deep glen]

not yet

[proud jay]

sad

why am I getting random friend request from someone who posted one message on this server in #linux lol

looks like onlyfans promotion bot based on pfp

[pearl elk]

Hows an Interplay publishing deal sound? 😛

[deep glen]

@proud jay does the name start with an A?

[proud jay]

yes

[deep glen]

yea, gotten the same. though quinn doesnt wanna ban

[foggy path]

Are they even around at this point lol

[proud jay]

bad quinn 😔

[foggy path]

Neat, getting random friend requests again... really wonder what's the deal with those

[proud jay]

she's in on it

[pearl elk]

Kingpin: Reloaded is being published by them apparently lol

[foggy path]

Oh yeah looks like a totally legit user

[pearl elk]

Yeah thats Alicia from Interplay

https://tenor.com/view/hysterical-laughter-laughing-gif-25735842

yea, quinn didnt want to ban for some reason, so dm-ed pfist

anyways, need to scoot. im onboarding.

glhf?

[pearl elk]

Its a new 3d model format

[pearl elk]

Ghostrunner is UE4 too, forgot about that

[foggy path]

Oh yeah might be, I played it but forgot what it was

I'm bored lol

[cursive crypt]

So, a scamGPT?

[proud jay]

good luck have fun

[proud jay]

keep me posted

[cursive crypt]

aah, I was thinking half life - good luck have a life or something

[foggy path]

"She" went quiet. I do wonder if the friend number is some kind of legitimacy indicator to discord's antispam algorithm

So if you got friends, it treats you less likely to be a spammer

[pearl elk]

gamelife half fun

Im not a spammer because I have hundreds of spammer friends

[quasi mantle]

Gordon doesn't need to hear all of this, he's a trained professional

[cursive crypt]

Heard the argument that scammers intentionally run stupid hooks, because if you fall for them, bigger the chance to rob you. The anti-scammers are pretty few anyway so they don't wanna loose time.

[foggy path]

yeah

[pearl elk]

I usually just tell them Im poor and they lose interest

[foggy path]

gotta be 13 or something to fall for it I think

kids are usually who I hear falling for these the most :P

[cursive crypt]

Aww... Poor Mons. Imagine the image you get if even a scammer sends you a little donation.

[slim atlas]

congratz @deep glen

[gloomy inlet]

i have

important news

[slim atlas]

but be careful.

[slim atlas]

they have a very tight grip

so stay safe

[deep glen]

never experienced that myself when I worked with them. but thanks for the warning.

[slim atlas]

make sure to squeeze ALOT money out of them :3

you deserve alot money!

[foggy path]

What is this based on? 🤔

I've never heard anything like this about the working conditions there, and Fred seems to genuinely love the brand and games in general

[slim atlas]

THEN SUE ME

[foggy path]

I was just curious what your claims were based on :p

[slim atlas]

i didnt claim anything.

[foggy path]

You literally made the claim that 3D Realms is known to be slave labourers?

[slim atlas]

i am sitting here eating strawberry

i never said that

[unborn lotus]

but it's not funny

[slim atlas]

i would never say that.

[unborn lotus]

try again but make it funny

[foggy path]

Yeah you're basically just badmouthing people for shits and giggles now

[slim atlas]

i am not

i wished luos good luck

[tulip orbit]

has 3d realms made anything since duke3d?

[foggy path]

Yeah do you want to get the mods involved for this blatant gaslighting

[slim atlas]

luos was here!!!

[foggy path]

They will be able to see that you deleted those messages

[slim atlas]

how many more mods do you need!!!

[foggy path]

guess it's another one for The List™️ ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slim atlas]

mh.

where laura

[quasi mantle]

Wasn't 3D Realms after DNF under different leadership?

[foggy path]

Yeah I don't know how much of the original group is left

It's kind of a different company I think, Apogee sounds a little bit salty about it

since Apogee was part of the brand and current day Apogee is the original Apogee folks, but 3D Realms is a different company entirely and unrelated to the original other than in name

[tulip orbit]

i'd imagine that most of the team left game development after DNF. atleast, i'd hope

[slim atlas]

they are a publisher these days

they buy in indie game licenses

[quasi mantle]

Had a hunch Glin refers to George Broussard era 3DR, which I don't think is still ongoing after DNF

[slim atlas]

and then push the games

they actually contacted me too once

[foggy path]

Fred Schreiber who is the CEO at 3DR now (iirc) said something about how he grew up with 3DR games and in that way it's kinda like a dream job for him now

[foggy path]

I think she's just being an idiot

[quasi mantle]

Kinda weird because after DNF there's no notable drama going on in 3DR (if any)

[slim atlas]

thats rude!

[foggy path]

Yeah the brand was in limbo after that

Not sure how it ended up being where it is today

But they're doing a bunch of good stuff in general, like Realms Deep

I'm really curious what's gonna happen with Duke Nukem in general though

[slim atlas]

youre rude!

[unborn lotus]

it's too offensive for these days 😅

[foggy path]

because Gearbox owns the Duke brand... and Gearbox and 3D Realms are both part of Embracer Group

So 3D Realms technically now has access to the Duke Nukem IP again

[slim atlas]

tell him he is rude!

[foggy path]

And honestly I don't think Duke would be too offensive lol

The original Duke 3D is not really that "un-PC" or however you would want to phrase it... the strippers are basically the "worst" part lol

[warm bloom]

😮

😲

[foggy path]

They did a pretty fun comic book called Duke Nukem: Glorious Bastard, this came as part of the DNF marketing push I believe

I think if they have the correct amount of self awareness with it it'd be fine even if he was like a goofy macho doofus

Duke Nukem canonically hates nazis, racists, homophobes, etc., so to be honest it'd fit right in if it was done in the right way

[tulip orbit]

if thats the case, the us republican party would never let it get made again

I guess. but maybe it's just me but it feels too outdated

[foggy path]

This is from a 90s Duke Nukem themed internet guide book

And yeah it's hard to say whether it'd have that mass appeal

but given all the retro shooty games it'd at least fit right in there with those

I'm just a fan of dumb action heroes so I'd like to see another game made in that series lol

[unborn lotus]

I have Graven on my wishlists, should fill some 90s nostalgia once it's out of early access

[cursive crypt]

Reminds me of the Tombstone/c4 engine

well you're just being a dipshit tbh

spreading rumours and then deleting messages if people ask on what this is based

I knew you were a weird one, but this is a new low

[cursive crypt]

Banana bad

[slim atlas]

i am not weird.

and where is laura

The only nice person here

[turbid spindle]

:question: you take banana?
:8ball: You may rely on it.

[ancient ingot]

@deep glen 🫂 ya back !

hands Manny a banana

not that I'm aware of

only give bananas to neighbours

[zinc matrix]

There should be a lotr game

First person

Like Skyrim but based on lord of the rings

[proud jay]

make one

[deep glen]

seems so!

[pearl elk]

she gawn

Got sick of all you infidels using inferior threading processes

[slim atlas]

that is very sad

but people are rude to me too...

[zinc matrix]

I mainly came here to find a guy named "affectionateuser"

[pearl elk]

I know such a guy

[zinc matrix]

is he here or not

[pearl elk]

Does he owe you money?

[zinc matrix]

tell him that I looked for him, thanks

[pearl elk]

Im not rude to you 😦

[zinc matrix]

I entered a discord called "solodev" and it seems I am the only one doing it

[slim atlas]

yes youre nice

[ancient ingot]

@deep glen everything good now mr ?

[zinc matrix]

Basically I am the only solodevver in a discord named "solo development"

[deep glen]

room still needs to be fixed, but pc is up and running.

[slim atlas]

Man luos!

you should fix the roof first

:/

how does water even get in the house

[ancient ingot]

ouch, at least you are back on the PC though, i hope your landlord gets the bill for the damage dude

[slim atlas]

through all the insulation

thats sick

[proud jay]

he left the server

are you AU in disguise?

[pearl elk]

I would be covering my PC with a tarp for awhile just because Im paranoid

[slim atlas]

i would straight up move

the house is flawed

[zinc matrix]

damn so I need to find him elsewhere

[ancient ingot]

i would be taking mine to bed

[slim atlas]

yes people here are rude to each other so they leave

[pearl elk]

I can pass on your profile when he's on

[zinc matrix]

there was one that called moderators on me all the time, for some unknown reasons

[deep glen]

tell that to my landlord.

[deep glen]

he will

[slim atlas]

give me his number

[quasi mantle]

Considering the real username is in camelCase

[slim atlas]

i call that f

[proud jay]

weren't you planning on moving soon?

[deep glen]

yuz, whenever im afk I put a big plastic tarp over it.

[zinc matrix]

I think people are envious of me because I do solodevving, but its just a theory, maybe your theory is right and they are just rude

[deep glen]

in about a year from now.

[slim atlas]

i call him

i make him suffer first

[proud jay]

I see

[slim atlas]

and then he pays

[pearl elk]

Im not envious of your profile name

[proud jay]

finally sent the letter today letting my landlord know I'm leaving

[slim atlas]

i make him pay you forward a new home

[zinc matrix]

my theory is that people are envious of me because I dont have to work for a corporation and I am a hobbyist

its just a theory

[unborn lotus]

but aren't you poor this way?

[zinc matrix]

I dont know, I dont spend much time to think about it, but i noticed some hostility, but I am 100% sure it will not be an issue

[proud jay]

my theory is no one cares and you think you're more important than you are

[quasi mantle]

Also how does that even a reason for envy?

[pearl elk]

I like Big Corpos and they cannot lie

[proud jay]

but that's just a theory

a game #lounge theory

[slim atlas]

i need to leave this chat for now, too many chats going on

please dont sue me.

[zinc matrix]

it can be

[quasi mantle]

I will

I have power of pro bono lawyer god and anime on my side

[zinc matrix]

Maybe people are envious because I am megalomaniac, and they see how big is my ego, could be another explanation

[unborn lotus]

are you sure it's envy?

[pearl elk]

def Laura

[proud jay]

I don't think that counts as envy

[quasi mantle]

cringe flex but okay

[zinc matrix]

people see me adn they hate me beause I improve too fast

[proud jay]

you saying that is a classic sign of being a dumbass

[zinc matrix]

I think there are people online that want you to fail

they want you to be mediocre, but I dont listen to them.

instead I always help anybody giving all I have got, I dont fear any sort of competition.

[zinc matrix]

Yes I think I am some sort of arrogant guy, but luckily I an back it up

you think you can

I'm not sure why folks think that there's no problem if you're arrogant as long as you can back it up 🤔

[zinc matrix]

I was learning music theory today

[rancid root]

:)

[zinc matrix]

online people told me that I dont need it, clearly they want me to fail

[slow gyro]

The new mods are still nice to you, Dieter

I can get you a paddlin

[cursive crypt]

Dieter is our mascot

[quasi mantle]

Also being a jokester doesn't necessarily mean being a jerk

[zinc matrix]

Online people told me "bro you just need production skills, learn production", but I am stubborn, I want to learn the basics of music theory

its an example of how malicious envious people may want to undermine you

[foggy path]

There's always advice available but you need to be careful to whose advice you listen to

[cursive crypt]

I offer paid advices with no responsibility.

[quasi mantle]

No money back guarantee?

[zinc matrix]

I know there are shortcuts, but what bad can it do if I learn also the basics? clearly some people want to see me failing, that isnt happening so they are envious andbitter

[cursive crypt]

No. It is more healthy.

[pearl elk]

Advice comes AS IS with no warranty, use at your own risk*

[quasi mantle]

I'd say you're encountering the rare breed

[proud jay]

are you ever going to type a message without saying people want you to fail

[slow gyro]

I might want them to fail

Just so they can keep talking about it

[quasi mantle]

Either rare breed, or just bluffing

[zinc matrix]

I only encourage people around me.

[pearl elk]

If they fail then its easier for me to rise to the top

[slow gyro]

I feel encouraged to fail!

[zinc matrix]

I want to see more boomer shooters, so whoever asks about it, I will try to help as much as possible

[proud jay]

fail fast fail often

boomer shooters as in you shoot at boomers?

[zinc matrix]

I think there is a planetary alignment

I have to get abit conspiratorial now

[unborn lotus]

that's what I've been doing for years hoozah

[zinc matrix]

Basically there are some "signs" and I concluded that there will be a giant change in the gaming world

[pearl elk]

laxatives might help with that

[zinc matrix]

I dont know if you are aware that Halo caused a paradigm change in gaming.

[proud jay]

https://tenor.com/view/mega-brain-big-brain-math-pineapple-gif-gif-25841999

FluffyBunnies seeing games industry ^

[unborn lotus]

this is a stretch, but is the Earth round?

[zinc matrix]

Now we are approximating a new paradigm change

[proud jay]

yeah we're all making P2E NFT Games

with some nice machine learning

[zinc matrix]

I think what we have to do is to take the model of the boomer shooters, and evolve it, in a way that leads us towards meaningful progress

[quasi mantle]

IMHO music theory can help make your musical craft better

It's like mage knowing the right spells, versus mage who mumbles random words and cast something when he's lucky

[slow gyro]

I'm just building the metaverse over here

[zinc matrix]

what is NFT?

[quasi mantle]

Non Functional Token

[zinc matrix]

i tried to google about it but I found only info pertaining to images sold online

I never understood how I can make millions with it

[proud jay]

make monkey

sell monkey

make money

[quasi mantle]

Make pyramid of monkeys

[slow gyro]

The same way any other scam makes money

[quasi mantle]

It's a ponzi scheme

[zinc matrix]

I made 2 NFTs but I found no way to sell them, is there a market or something

[proud jay]

promise the monkey is going to the moon 🧑‍🚀

[zinc matrix]

i just wanted to try it

[quasi mantle]

Hone your multi level marketing skills and annoy more sane people, you'll get there

[zinc matrix]

I am always late when there is something like that, NFT, what is it? I barely understand the concept

[proud jay]

I'm not convinced this new guy is not just chatGPT talking to us

[cursive crypt]

They just talk a lot, that enough.

[slow gyro]

1. Promise cool NFT driven game.
2. Spent a few weeks on a Prototype that doesn't involve any NFT stuff.
3. Pre-sell a lot of NFTs for Ingame Items once the game is done.
4. After all the cash came in, run

[proud jay]

first get a rug, then pull it

[zinc matrix]

I think when you want to make "le quick bucks" you have to study what the big sellers in the market are doing.

[quasi mantle]

What if the rug fly by itself?

a whole new wooooorld

*of homelessness

[zinc matrix]

But I decided to keep in mind that I am not a corporation, I will not do what they do. If something works for them, doesnt means it has to work for me

[quasi mantle]

As much as I like Final Fantasy, I still call Square Enix decision to simp on NFT an idiotic decision

[zinc matrix]

like for example I know that corporations use tools such as character creator. Why should I do that? I know it works well for them, but I am not a corporation.

[fleet tangle]

You don't even need to run. Just create teh most basic game, discord the game, and give people nft avatars.

Worked for that Ape thing.

[foggy path]

the guy who writes how to market a game has been suggesting some methods for analyzing the market for how you can benefit from it... eg. when vampire survivors became popular, many devs were able to quickly release games in that niche and make a fair bit of money (and not just shovelware mind you, good games)

[zinc matrix]

I think a corporation will have needs to have standards and maybe they will want to have predictability, this is all something that I can imagine, but I dont care anyway, since I am not a corporation

[quasi mantle]

*yet

[zinc matrix]

the reality is taht we have more chances of bringing change than a corporation

they observe us, if anyone of us has a tiny amount of success, tehy will replicate it better

they simply look at what we do and consider it an experiment, then they will take it to the next step

if one of us implements a concept, that for a corporation is considered "risky", but the concept is good, they will take it and improve on it

[quasi mantle]

||they only care about return profit the most||

[foggy path]

Having worked for corporations I can tell you majority of them are not that smart about anything they do lol

Or methodical either

The bigger the company is the slower and less flexible it's to adapting to anything

[zinc matrix]

I dont know I was just talking about my planetary alignment theory

[foggy path]

lol okay

[zinc matrix]

basicaly according to me, there are some "signs"

[quasi mantle]

Go home, you're drunk

[zinc matrix]

I was saying that we had the dark ages of gaming durin ghte 2000s, all due to halo the paradigm shift

but now thre are some signs

[foggy path]

"dark ages of gaming" ? lol

[zinc matrix]

I think fortnite brought new light to this world

[quasi mantle]

What kind of GPT model is this anyway lmao

[foggy path]

fortnite = healing crystals

[zinc matrix]

if I interpreted theh signs correctly, there will be a paradigm shift

fortnite was simply the beginning

[proud jay]

this hits home 😢

[zinc matrix]

I mean, I know myself that fortnite is not the paradigm shift that I was lookin for, but it is the game that preceeds

[unborn lotus]

the whacked in the head model

[zinc matrix]

I am abit conspiratorial, I will just stay vague

[foggy path]

ShrekGPT

[zinc matrix]

I think there are chances to do boomer shooters, I feel its time. I played fortnite and it was the best game made during the last 20 years

fortnite was so good that I realized that there is something going on, why such a good game is popular?

[foggy path]

You really don't need to be a genius to see that you can do boomer shooters right now

[quasi mantle]

inb4 we got a literature called "Fortnite and the Paradigm Shift of Human Civilization"

New York Times Best Seller

[zinc matrix]

Usually good games are unpopular, instead fortnite was amazingly popular, it surpasses even the atrociously horrid games ilke minecraft

[foggy path]

Usually good games are unpopular
???? lol

[quasi mantle]

Don't tell him about Elden Ring

[zinc matrix]

good games like fortnite usually are unpopular, this is a novelty

[foggy path]

So are you saying that the games that are popular are usually bad games?

[zinc matrix]

if people play fortnite, it must means that there is a planetary alignment that favors me

[unborn lotus]

this is just flamebait now

[foggy path]

Flamebait? This is some real galactic brain stuff

lol

[pearl elk]

I was there, it was rough

[zinc matrix]

i saw a website that was listing popular games, and fortnite came first, doubling the amount of users of an horrid game like minecraft

[proud jay]

you need to lay off the mushrooms my man

[pearl elk]

You either played Ultima Online or nothing

[foggy path]

Ultima Online hell yeah

I enjoyed sitting in my house macro'ing tables to level up carpentry

[zinc matrix]

I am so excited, first because I finally feel that I am "on the right side of history", an amazing feeling, my favorite game is first in the list

now I know how it feels to be on the winning side, I know I am the right side of history, thanks to fortnite

[proud jay]

ok now I'm like 99,4% convinced this is a troll

[foggy path]

It feels like it's another user with yet another account lol

[zinc matrix]

bro, people told me for years that I was a "nostalgic boomer", fortnite gave me that power

[unborn lotus]

I played Arx Fatalis at the time, I heard there's a similar setting

[quasi mantle]

The novelty has worn out tbh

[zinc matrix]

I now see youtubers saying "muh I am too old I dont like fortnite", amazing, they are suffering same fate I got years ago. Fortnite is bringing me to the top

[cursive crypt]

Hey Arx was cool, the little time I had with it. Mouse drawing skills!

[thin aspen]

european confirmed

[zinc matrix]

they were saying that I m just nostalgic, and I dont like console games because of nostalgia, but my personality is all oriented towards progress... now they are on the receiving end of this attack

[proud jay]

let's collectively agree to ignore fluffybunnies

🤝

[unborn lotus]

hell yes! It was great. I almost finished it too but I loved the world setting and tiny lore stuff they did

[thin aspen]

fluffy bunnies is just AU

[foggy path]

I played a bit of Anarchy Online after Ultima Online

[zinc matrix]

collectively you can do what you want, but fortnite is still winning, people will not change this fact

[thin aspen]

There's no way you can convince me that they just randomly know of AU

[foggy path]

it was kinda fun with its scifi setting which is rare on these MMO things

unfortunately then WoW happened and Anarchy Online died lol

[cursive crypt]

I havent heard anyone replicating their spell casting system in later game?

[quasi mantle]

If it's AU spying: Laura did celebrate your leaving

[zinc matrix]

I mean, you can go online, complain about it, I know how it will turn out since I suffered this fate. let me help you: people will call you "outdated boomer and nostalgic", it happened to me before, will happen to you if you are against fortnite

this is the power I got when I became "part of history"

[pearl elk]

But why did Laura leave

[zinc matrix]

I am on the right side, bro, it feels amazing, my side is winning, fortnite is at the top

[quasi mantle]

the rest of backtalking about AU is pretty tame

[thin aspen]

dieter was cyberbulling her

[unborn lotus]

not sure...might just be too complex nowadays

[proud jay]

slander

[zinc matrix]

its like in the meme "first time?"

[thin aspen]

but "her" is also dieter's alt accounts for his nft scam

[pearl elk]

Thats not nice

[quasi mantle]

Coroutine Slander

[cursive crypt]

nah, if anything - much easier. Hell, there was even a plug or two on the MP which had symbol recognition handling.

[proud jay]

we will never know

[pearl elk]

because its original name was Fartnite named for the old farts

[unborn lotus]

Deirdre is bullying everyone away

[thin aspen]

dieter is just the belgian version of the name deandre

or something like that

[quasi mantle]

I see you're undusting that Beach Boys record of yours.

[pearl elk]

so Fornite allows you to suck the souls of the young to reclaim your own youth?

I know what's going on here but if i post the meme I'll get in trouble

[pearl elk]

Boomer is a type of zombie

wait, what meme

[proud jay]

I don't know judge mathis

[thin aspen]

You should be able to find it if you google like judge mathis meme or something

It's the one with him holding the gavel

[proud jay]

https://youtu.be/4L0tHAShL7g

[cursive crypt]

hm.. what happened? Silence?

[proud jay]

aha I see

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/professor-proton-big-bang-theory-sheldon-internet-boomer-gif-17321391

[unborn lotus]

drama quota reached

[thin aspen]

the chat bot overloaded

or refer to judge mathis meme

[cursive crypt]

Discord daily message limit reached.

[proud jay]

I might or might not have reported them for trolling too

maybe timed out

[pearl elk]

I think they are a frequent ban evader

[foggy path]

I wonder if any Discord bots have a user fingerprinting function

[thin aspen]

idk though, this whole name dropping AU was weird.

Because who does that?

[foggy path]

That would help mods deal with people creating new accounts :P

[proud jay]

that was the first red flag

[broken sigil]

Still praying for the day Discord gets HW bans

[cursive crypt]

Hardware accelerated bans?

[broken sigil]

Would stop at least a good portion of the trolls

[foggy path]

You could do at least basic fingerprinting by having users click a link before allowing them on the server proper 🤔

[pearl elk]

They were asking to get caught

[quasi mantle]

Also FWIW AU seem to left voluntarily (after I persuade him to do so)

[thin aspen]

idk

You just can't convince me that someone would come to lounge looking for AU, by name. It just doesn't add up.

[unborn lotus]

what is really going on here

[slim atlas]

whats going on

[thin aspen]

AU gave hugs and i doubt the hug giving was that wide spread.

"Ay fam, i know this guy on unreal slackers who gives hugs when you need one" - A conversation that never happened

[slim atlas]

do you really think you can get away with dragging AUs name into the dirt.

[unborn lotus]

conveniently appeared just as troll left...I see now

[cursive crypt]

It is like cheap tv soap opera - there must be a drama surrounding people.
