can you imagine not even having 6 billion triangles on screen

[reef wigeon]

👋

[cursive crypt]

More is easy, can you imagine having only 1 triangle on the screen?

[reef wigeon]

Learning geomtry from screens

I only have 1 pentagon

[proud jay]

are you the president of the USA?

I’m not in a bullet proof car so no

[quasi mantle]

Make one yourself

[warm bloom]

yes I can

my screen is made of pixels not triangles

[unreal ether]

Make the car out of bullets so new bullets cancel out the old ones

I should be an engineer

[unreal ether]

Everything is triangles

[warm bloom]

[unreal ether]

You are triangles
I am triangles
Pixels are triangles

triangles are squares

[unreal ether]

Squares are two triangles

Everything is triangles

[warm bloom]

two triangles are made of half of one square

everything is triangles and circles

[unreal ether]

As an OSU player I can confirm

Apart from the fact that they're circles, because they're actually lots of triangles

[proud jay]

on the menu there's triangles

but other than that?

used to love osu

but I just don't feel it anymore

[thick oracle]

Those look like 2 triangles and a texture to me

See! There's a rational person here! A fellow triangle believer

[proud jay]

1 star is wild though, a 4 year old could do that lmao

did you like actually click?

[timber viper]

[proud jay]

cause that's just asking to fail

[timber viper]

i was 12 years old

[proud jay]

you can use Z & X keys on keyboard

they act as click

and using a tablet helps a lot

[proud jay]

or rebind

[proud jay]

damn I was 20, but now I feel old cause that felt like forever ago

[timber viper]

so you are 26 now

[proud jay]

I am

don't let Luos read this

i think he is controlling them, theyre driving me nuts !! itll be the sword soon i swear !

what if it's the other way around... maybe the chickens are in control of Luos

well, there's no expectations of them reaching their 40s

[timber viper]

why?

[quasi mantle]

On a more serious note, IMO not necessarily die by the age of 40, it's just that many aren't going to live like someone in their 40s before recent decades, with all the physical and mental cyberpunky augmentations they have now.

Not many science fiction works from the past ever speculated about it.

And no, I'm not talking about amputation prosthetics

That being said, it also slim down my chances of getting a girlfriend, but I'm not that concerned about it (anymore)

My ultimate goal would be to have my own game dev company and my own acoustic drum kit and home studio

[trail wedge]

sounds reasonable

[quasi mantle]

Also having my own home studio would mean allowing myself to learn other musical instruments like piano and guitar

I would primarily go with gamedev, but side hustle as musician would be a decent backup option

Also damn, test building for on-site game jam this week really putting my hardware to its pace

Though it's much less painful than with my old potato which cost me Epic MegaJam

https://tenor.com/view/nanotech-nanomachines-nanotechnology-nanites-ironman-gif-17230034

[quasi mantle]

30 minute build time, not bad

[tulip orbit]

mine compiled with only 2 errors, from yesterday 🙂 One was some odd copy/paste error off a wiki that copied an unknown character

the other was a simple fix

[quasi mantle]

Mine is just the vehicle template, just to gauge build time estimation for game jam this week

Though not cooking the contents might able to cut it down further

[tulip orbit]

mmm, game jam on toast...

[fleet tangle]

Mine's being a dick right now and building slowly. 😦

UE codebase just keeps growing.

[quasi mantle]

ASUS TUF A15 w/ RTX 3060, Ryzen 7 5800H, 16 GB RAM

Took around 2 hours to build UE5 source code in the M.2 SSD

Compared to the potato taking up 24 hours, it's much faster

[fleet tangle]

Laptop?

[quasi mantle]

Yes

[fleet tangle]

Cool cool. Nice upgrade!

[tulip orbit]

slight improvement

[fleet tangle]

Is that a 4090? 😂

[soft night]

that is potatoPC

[quasi mantle]

Well, huge IMO

With the new one I can test Lumen/Ray Tracing, Nanite, and also developing and testing my project at full 60 FPS (though I also test with 120 FPS and see which corners I can cut to get that)

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/rtx-4090-nvidia-6090-graphics-card-gif-26772756

[quasi mantle]

At least for my main game project, both Lumen and RT GI and reflection gives visual improvements on the environments

Though the cel shading broke with ray traced shadow, and my custom lens flare can't compile in SM6 with vague LLVM error

In turn I lose Nanite and VSM, but not a big deal since I can use traditional LOD, and the environment is going to have painting effect all over anyway

[soft night]

i made the huge query that break the limits

[quasi mantle]

With the old potato I can't test those features at all, and testing the game is 30 FPS at best

[soft night]

new beast machine can handle those features?

[proud jay]

just doing my duty

how is the new job?

speak fluent danish yet?

[deep glen]

haha, far from

mostly onboarding, going over all the documentation, writing documentation, gathering references.

[proud jay]

oof documentation

I remember onboarding, was like 3 weeks of trainings

painfully boring at times

[deep glen]

bwah its fine. but can tell ive been freelancing for about a decade and made my own hours.

so having to get used to a full 9-5

[proud jay]

sounds like I should go freelance 😄

[quasi mantle]

Also slow compile times basically means I had to try make C++ code working in first attempt, and make litt

[deep glen]

its fun, if you can find enough work to fill in the hours to get by

[trail wedge]

hey I have almost the same laptop as my travel computer

ASUS TUF Dash 15 Intel Core i7-11370H, RTX 3050Ti, 48GB RAM

[timber viper]

you're welcome

[zinc matrix]

yestrday i approached light in unreal engine

There are alot of settings in the lights

and also the volume for postprocess is insane

[tulip orbit]

Wish I could do that. I haate my current job and want to quit so badly., but dont have a new job and having trouble looking at new ones. Want a break for a week or two 😢

[proud jay]

and to pay rent 🙃

that would be my main worry lol

[zinc matrix]

Amazing, but I think I will need a separated effort to learn more about light

[deep glen]

thats what I meant with "to get by"

[proud jay]

I see

[zinc matrix]

I also got a separated course for materials that I will follow later on

I want to learn materials abit better, but not now since I prefer to prioritize cpp and blueprints

[timber viper]

Luos, ||mr. vfx lead|| why everyone using Fluid Ninja these days for FX even though its a BP sphagetti that melts my CPU?

[proud jay]

I wouldn't know how to find clients tbh

I think programmers would be more "full-stack" for freelancing

iunno. if the perf. budget allows for it, why not.

[zinc matrix]

I wonder how far you can go with blueprints alone

if I understand correctly c++ is more for when you get into AI topics

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/garfield-spaghetti-pasta-dinner-pasta-day-gif-16727473

[timber viper]

if I understand correctly c++ is more for when you get into AI topics anything that isnt scripting

[proud jay]

I think you understand wrong

[deep glen]

@proud jay @tulip orbit try this approach XD

[proud jay]

haha yeah I've heard of that

but I don't wanna find out what happens when you're exposed

[unborn lotus]

I have recurring nightmares where I return to the office, I start the day, sit down and it sucks 😅

[proud jay]

I could do 2 fulltimes at the same time tbh if I stopped slacking

[tulip orbit]

how do I get into that? I'm a tradesman, not much of a programmer/engineer

[fleet tangle]

Full time slack is the best.

[proud jay]

I'm on here hours a day and I'm still more productive than most lol

[fleet tangle]

And by that I mean slack.com, obviously :cough:

[proud jay]

how if I order something of amazon it is in my house the next day. But now I ordered something from a company using dpd and They've had it for 5 days now, and it still has to go from them to their own depot

pls

[zinc matrix]

I should stop doing assumptions

Most of my assumptions are wrong

[proud jay]

idk what kind of vehicle they're using but transporting from one depot to another for 5 days is wild

[deep glen]

at least this assumption is correct :p

[quasi mantle]

CPU dominant?

[proud jay]

how did you do freelancing Luos? just get contacted by people or like you go looking for some freelance jobs online or like you know people?

[trail wedge]

it's just what was a reasonable price at the time (and I like Asus as a brand generally)

Why is the file type for that animated image a jpeg?

[trail wedge]

worked off it for a month at my friend's house with KB, Mouse and 2 monitors hooked up (thunderbot to HTMI for the 2nd).... no complaints at all

[trail wedge]

I could run Rider, UE Editor, and Overwatch 2 (if I decided to take a break mid work) at the same time with no issue

...and a million Chrome tabs lol

the only annoying thing is ensuring you're using the real GPU and not the integrated one

it uses integrated for thunderbolt so don't play games on that monitor

[soft night]

when you have internal and discrete that is the issue for sure

[trail wedge]

the actual HDMI port can use either

(same with the integrated screen)

[quasi mantle]

Also yeah I'm going to bring her for the game jam

[proud jay]

does she have a name

[quasi mantle]

Haven't thought one just yet

[trail wedge]

oh you all are the kind of people that name stuff like cars, boats, computers?, etc??

weird

[quasi mantle]

I mean, that's my way of cherishing my tools

[trail wedge]

I have way too many that wouldn't be practical

[fleet tangle]

My way of cherishing my tools is trying not to spill pepsi on them.

[proud jay]

not me, but he called his pc she

[zinc matrix]

i call mine "Charlene"

[trail wedge]

that's like giving Pokemon nicknames... weird

[trail wedge]

yeh that's a different weird thing... not just a name, but a gender too

[quasi mantle]

See also: sailors referring warships as female

[trail wedge]

I drink Coke so I don't have to worry about any disgusting Pepsi near my stuff lol

[fleet tangle]

Lots of things that are genderless have traditional genders. Boats are female etc.

[trail wedge]

Tradition doesn't stop something from being weird imo (actually it might increase the odds)

[fleet tangle]

Following traditions without thinking about them is the weird part for me.

[quasi mantle]

Also anime have tendency to name characters based on warships (and in extent making up whole characters based on warships - see Kantai Collection)

[fleet tangle]

"Why are you doing that?" "It's traditional" "So?" "Erm... culture?" "Sod off"

[trail wedge]

Tradition is literally the worst reason to do something.... if you have some other reason in addition to tradition it's fine

That girl-as-a-warship anime was awful. 😦

[quasi mantle]

Well, I'm kinda doing it out of habit

[proud jay]

why does she look like she's ready to take a dump

[tulip orbit]

she needs a chair

or possibly a toilet

[quasi mantle]

Kinda, because I'm not coming up with it on my own

[trail wedge]

chairs/stools/taller tables are expensive

[tulip orbit]

I bet the producer is sitting on a nice chair

[quasi mantle]

Also news anchor stools aren't comfortable anyway

[trail wedge]

they actually have one for each limb aside from the main one

[trail wedge]

that's not a requirement... they could change that

[quasi mantle]

Also news anchors do sit on nicer couches when they have the chance to arrange talk show like setup

At least in my local news broadcasts, morning news programs do have talk show like setup with nice couches and all

[tulip orbit]

but behind the desk they should atleast have a stool

[trail wedge]

wait people watch TV still?

I thought TV was just a fancy screensaver for stores selling TVs and bars

[zinc matrix]

I was into fusion 360, I showd some models exported with it to supposed experts and they told me they arent good

BUt I looked at them, for me its OK

[quasi mantle]

In my country, yes, but even then it's minuscule compared to people tuning in to YouTube and stuff (myself included)

[zinc matrix]

Why isnt OK to use fusion 360 models? they are just abit strange due to the triangles

[tulip orbit]

ooh, I just realized about the gif. frontend/backend. Its pointing out that her backend is rock hard steel from sitting like that for hours

[zinc matrix]

But the shading is OK

[trail wedge]

same here sadly but are they actually people if they watch TV?

[zinc matrix]

I mean, fusion360 is light years ahead for making what 3D people call "hard surface"

In 10 minutes of fusion 360 I can do what in blenedr I would need 1 week to do, spending time to merge vertices and correcting the errors of the booleans

Fusion also UV unwraps the models automatically, and so why shouldnt I use it?

[zinc matrix]

is this backend developer?

[quasi mantle]

Considering mobile data plans are getting cheaper, $6/mo can get you around 2 GB / day, which is enough to watch YT at 360p with a phone all day

[zinc matrix]

I tried to learn about some backend topics, just because I was into web technology, after a while the only way forward for me to keep learning was to approach backend

In any case its a natural step up

[trail wedge]

I only use YT for music on my phone... why watch such a tiny screen (especially if you're not on the go)

[zinc matrix]

or else you will stagnate and be dragged by the many trends there are in the web development

[unborn lotus]

tons of artists use fusion, but you might need to some cleanup after

[zinc matrix]

there are lots of trends, and things change, but the changes are often superficiala

[quasi mantle]

Ah yes, 9 fingers

[proud jay]

maybe the models themselves were just shit

[zinc matrix]

Its like you have to be plugged all the time to the internet to learn the changes, and I was feeling like my skills were stagnating

[trail wedge]

sounds more like a pro MMO player

[zinc matrix]

[quasi mantle]

I do watch YT in my phone when I'm lazy or just lying on the bed lol

[zinc matrix]

could be, I made simple triangles with some fillets, and on a flat surface you were seeing lots of triangles

[trail wedge]

but I know you own nearly the same laptop as me.... that's what I use in bed

[quasi mantle]

Also playing Gran Turismo 2 in my phone with Duckstation

[trail wedge]

the speakers being on the bottom of that laptop does suck though

[quasi mantle]

I seldom bring my laptop on the bed

[trail wedge]

that's where mine sits when I'm not traveling

[proud jay]

who uses speakers anyway

headphone gang

[zinc matrix]

here example. Fusion 360 creates an insane amount of triangles ordered in a weird way

[quasi mantle]

Most of the time it's on my desk where I also have my HDD hooked via USB 3

[zinc matrix]

but the models are automatically unwrapped

[proud jay]

well unless working with nanite, that is a really bad model indeed

[trail wedge]

I have headphones on all day... the earbuds are ok laying down but the coconut style I use aren't

[proud jay]

coconut style?

[zinc matrix]

can you tell me why? is the resolution too high?

[trail wedge]

if I wanna put my ear against the pillow

[zinc matrix]

I mean, in fusion you can change the resolution

[proud jay]

oh, you laying down

I see what you mean

yaeh

[quasi mantle]

My potato died shortly after, so I decided to salvage the HDD

[proud jay]

that's annoying with headphones

[zinc matrix]

I just selected maximum resolution

[proud jay]

that's a lot of unnecessary triangles

[zinc matrix]

I got a pair of anker

anker is a brand of batteries

i got their headphones, I can say they are OK

[trail wedge]

so that's really the only time I want the speakers, but they're on the bottom so if I sit the laptop on the bed it gets muffled

0th world problems

[timber viper]

you should see COBOL developer

[zinc matrix]

Previously I was using the beyerdynamics, but I treat headphones so poorly that I feel bad trashing 400 euros headphones like I do

[proud jay]

yeah my laptop speakers are absolute garbage

but I never use them

[timber viper]

MJ prompts a 90yo lady in front of the 50s computers

[zinc matrix]

I cannot afford to break a pair after another so lightly

[quasi mantle]

I have 2 set of headphones earbuds, one for the laptop, one for my phone

Used to have full size headphones but no earbuds, I can't sleep with it on

[trail wedge]

the speakers in my old chromebook were amazing for some reason

they were made by Skullcandy which was weird since they weren't headphones

[proud jay]

you sleep with earbuds?

[zinc matrix]

so I prefer headphones in the range of 50-80 euros, that usually offer decent quality, and I dont have anything to complain about

[proud jay]

that can't be healthy

[trail wedge]

it would bother me too much to do that

[quasi mantle]

Not really, I took them off once I got really sleepy

[zinc matrix]

Frankly I never understood the fanatics that complain about minor details... headphones in the range of 50 euros tend to be good, very very good

[proud jay]

I have the surface headphones 2 right now, they're pretty nice, except that the band on the top has some parts coming out sometime but you can like push them back

[quasi mantle]

But for lying on the bed, earbuds.

[proud jay]

other than that I love them

multi point bluetooth

[zinc matrix]

I got these ankers, surely the bass is not as strong and plentiful as the beyerdynamics, but everything else is fine

[proud jay]

the wheels for volume and ANC

[trail wedge]

ahh yeh in that case I do the same thing if I remember to charge them; it's literally the only time I sometimes use my Pixel buds

[proud jay]

only time I use earbuds is for running/gym

[zinc matrix]

usually cheap headphones pump the bass, so since I am a guy into bass heavy music I am fine with it

[proud jay]

and I can say that hasn't happend a lot lately 🙃

[trail wedge]

I don't really exercise often, especially if it's cold

[quasi mantle]

Also I had pain with it when I still got it on while I fell asleep.

Not anymore lmao

[trail wedge]

sometimes when I run one of my buds likes to fall out which makes me not wanna use them for that

doesn't matter what size insert I use

[proud jay]

depends what type they are I guess

I have like the airpod type buds, but like cheap 20 buck ones

[trail wedge]

my ears just don't like in ear stuff

[proud jay]

they stay in pretty nice

[quasi mantle]

I never got them fall off either even when headbanging, and it's wired

Improvement over headphones

[zinc matrix]

headphones improved a lot

years ago bluetooth ones were lasting 4 hours on a single battery charge

nowadays they are all 1-2 weeks

[proud jay]

my headphones do not last 2 weeks lol

[zinc matrix]

bluetooth headphones were such a cynical scam, I remember the beats audio brand, such a cynical fraud

[quasi mantle]

You buy new ones every 2 weeks?

[proud jay]

I mean the battery lmao

[zinc matrix]

beats were sold as a massive fraud, all people bought them, the bluetooth required external batteries and were ugly asf

[trail wedge]

I used to use these kind of headphones back in the day for exercise

[zinc matrix]

nowadays that issue is solved, most of the cheap headphones have 1-2 weeks long battery

[quasi mantle]

Oh, okay lol
Mine are all wired

[proud jay]

I mean if I use mine for 2 minutes a day they can last really long

but normal use I get maybe 3, max 4 days

[quasi mantle]

Wired headphones/earbuds are great most of the time, it's has near zero latency

[trail wedge]

I just don't like being tethered

[quasi mantle]

Most of the time, because the worst is when you forgot to take them off of your ears but you stand up anyway

I had snapped few back then from that

[zinc matrix]

I am a headphones breaker

I destroy them all, thats why I am biased in favor of the 50-80 euros range

[trail wedge]

I just don't break stuff

[zinc matrix]

if you buy cheap, you can afford to destroy all the headphones, last pair I ruined was a sony one for 30 euros

[trail wedge]

and get nice things that last a long time

[zinc matrix]

nothing lasts for long if you use it

[trail wedge]

BS

[zinc matrix]

the beyerdynamic I got previusly were all repairable

[broken sigil]

I've had the same earbuds for 5 years and 3-4 years the current headphones

[trail wedge]

I repair my own stuff if it's not being done for free by the manufacturer due to warranty

[zinc matrix]

if you use it it breaks, I can demonstrate if you want

[broken sigil]

I mean I use my stuff every day and it lasts me a long long time

[trail wedge]

but mostly I just don't break it to begin with

[quasi mantle]

Also one downside with wired earbuds is when one side become deaf/can't output anything

[trail wedge]

yeh the wire is always what breaks in my wired headphones eventually

[broken sigil]

I mainly use them when I'm on my phone, only headphones on the pc

[trail wedge]

I don't use wired headphones really anymore

that was last decade and earlier

[timber viper]

which headphone

[broken sigil]

Logitech G something, sec

G432 pretty sure

[trail wedge]

I miss old Logitech but I still have a mouse and KB from them

[broken sigil]

I would say this headset is pretty damn good

[trail wedge]

oh not talking trash about their headsets

[broken sigil]

Nah just saying

[trail wedge]

but Logitech used to be an even better brand

in general

[broken sigil]

Yeah, their stuff usually is well built

[proud jay]

wired headphones have slightly better quality and better latency

but tbh just walking around with headphones on is so nice

[cursive crypt]

Their G (gaming) brand is kinda sus to me - in general, as well, since I have their G mouse.

[proud jay]

going to the toilet or kitchen while just keeping them on listening to t hings

the good life

[broken sigil]

Will probably end up getting new ones soon, like the fake leather part around the ears is starting to peal off

This is what usually happens with headset for me, that part gets destroyed before the actual headset dies

[proud jay]

not having to change wires between my pc and work laptopt is also a nice benefit

[quasi mantle]

Speaking of Logitech

I'm also thinking of grabbing a Logitech G29

I can't drive a car, so I figured having a steering wheel control with pedals would be a good idea to get the grip at home before going into driving school proper

[cursive crypt]

Play Need For Speed.

[quasi mantle]

NFS is too arcadey

[cursive crypt]

You don't drop under 100 km/h in real life too

[trail wedge]

those parts pop off and are cheap to replace on my Arctis 7s
https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-cushion-SteelSeries-Headband-Headphone/dp/B07537RVWL

[quasi mantle]

Something like Gran Turismo would be more fitting for driving sim

[broken sigil]

Hmm I wonder if there are replacements for mine

[quasi mantle]

And G29 is the one that works with PlayStation

[trail wedge]

maybe... I just noticed there are 3rd party ones for mine with cooling gel and other stuff

[zinc matrix]

ive had 3 of those. on each one of them the cord broke after couple months. old mx series were good.

Haha. wee.. my inventory code from yesterday is wierd. I pick up 3 stacks of 500, max stack size of 999. First I get a stack of 500, then a stack of 500 and -1, then on 3rd pickup I get a stack of 999 and -601

[quasi mantle]

Haven't tried that one, though seem to be accurate enough

[proud jay]

haven't used one of those since I can drive a car so don't know how realistic they are, forgot the original experience 😄

[broken sigil]

Would say probably the most realistic vehicle sim including the damage model

[trail wedge]

Burnout?

[zinc matrix]

live for speed?

[cursive crypt]

But can cops gun you down?

[tulip orbit]

if you get a wheel with the full 720 spin, its fairly realistic. I did euro truck sim with the wheel/clutch/shifter,, and the VR headset, and I got a lot better at backing trailers IRL

[slim atlas]

I EAT GLUE

[tulip orbit]

but most of driving IRL is learning rules of road, anticipating the jerks next to you doing something stupid

[fleet tangle]

Must be why you're such a stickler.

[broken sigil]

😐

[slim atlas]

yummy glue

[broken sigil]

Played that like 15 years ago 😅

[zinc matrix]

that doesnt look glue..

[quasi mantle]

Burnout cars are too fragile me thinks

[slim atlas]

ITS GLUE

[foggy path]

euro truck sim 2 on wheel+vr is amazing

[trail wedge]

nah real cars are even more fragile

[foggy path]

I have a DD wheel so it can do like... 2000 degrees rotation for it lol

[trail wedge]

they're all made of aluminum foil

[slim atlas]

i need to get going... nice to talk to you.

[trail wedge]

and plastic

[foggy path]

Technically it can do as much rotation as you want but the driver seems to cap it at around 2000-something for ETS at least lol

[quasi mantle]

Gah, I still can't stand VR

[tulip orbit]

some days I wish I could setup my driving sim again, but I tore down the pedal stand I built, and dont have the space for it all now anyway

[broken sigil]

Like backing up into you while you are standing still on gas pump in a car you bought a month ago

Somehow it did 0 damage to my car, not even a scratch... Lucky for him 😅

[quasi mantle]

Also doubt consoles ever going to support chained monitor setup

[foggy path]

I'd suggest checking out Wheel Stand Pro if you're space-constrained... it folds up into fairly small space and is fast to set up

[tulip orbit]

got no monies for that sorta thing 😦

[foggy path]

It's probably one of the cheapest options on the market :D

[tulip orbit]

0 monies

[foggy path]

haha

[tulip orbit]

plus I enjoyed building my own stand. was a fun little challenge

[quasi mantle]

Not super space constrained but definitely not enough for full blown sim rig

[proud jay]

like JoJo?

[tulip orbit]

jojo?

[broken sigil]

Money isn't a problem if you don't have any 🧠

[proud jay]

JoJo's bizarre adventure

[quasi mantle]

Though I'd setup a shorter desk to put on the shifter

[tulip orbit]

ah, never seen

[quasi mantle]

Also putting the shifter to my left side

[foggy path]

https://tenor.com/Sx22.gif

[cursive crypt]

Mooooons, give some here ^

[proud jay]

how much racing games do you guys play lol

[quasi mantle]

Mainly GT games lol

[foggy path]

Not enough to justify cost of my current setup lol

[broken sigil]

These days barely any except if you count rocket league lol

[trail wedge]

I haven't really played any since the 90s and early 00s

[tulip orbit]

I played lots of euro truck sim, back in the day, but never enjoyed racing sims

[proud jay]

you play that with a wheel setup?

[broken sigil]

No 😂

[foggy path]

I played iRacing for a while which is great but I get too serious about it and spend too much time not doing anything else

[trail wedge]

He uses a dance pad

[foggy path]

Dirt Rally 2 is more casual fun that I can just play without wasting so much time lol

[tulip orbit]

that'd be fun... rocket league, but first person in the car, VR, realistic driving sim with pedals, etc

[foggy path]

But at least thanks to iRacing I can say I've raced against a real-life GT3 driver lol

and was only about a second per lap slower than he was

:P

[quasi mantle]

IMO Gran Turismo is one racing games that don't have too much additional stuff going on in your face

Though not helping that I grew up playing with PlayStation and have no experience with Xbox.

[foggy path]

Last GT I played was GT2 which definitely was great back then

[broken sigil]

I have a problem with it that their vehicle sim doesn't really feel that good

[quasi mantle]

Also Gran Turismo games have the best music

[foggy path]

Carmageddon 1 had a soundtrack by Fear Factory tho

[unborn lotus]

I think you mean nfs underground

[foggy path]

...and also let's not forget about Daytona USA and Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune

[unborn lotus]

Get low

[foggy path]

Daytooooonaaaaaa

lol

[quasi mantle]

I'm more interested in jazz fusion more than grunge

Grunge/hip-hop is okay but my taste leans more on the jazz fusion side

[zinc matrix]

Ok I found my old beyerdynamic pair. As you can see, despite it was expensive and supposed "high quality" it endd up devastated

[foggy path]

There's a limit to how much these plastic bits take I guess

I had two pairs of Sennheiser HD-555's which snapped from a very similar spot, but easily fixed with some ducttape :P

[zinc matrix]

thats why I prefer headphones in the range of 50 euros

so I can break them without crying

[foggy path]

Too bad they sound like ass in comparison lol

[zinc matrix]

no

because beyerdynamic also required me to use a sound card isolated

its not that you can plug it into a smartphone and thats about all

the cheaper headphones are all in 1 solution

[trail wedge]

I've never heard of beyerdynamic before, but I'd make them send you a new part

personally I have a 3D printer

[zinc matrix]

me too

[trail wedge]

then make a new part yourself lol

[foggy path]

Beyerdynamic makes studio headphones and stuff, their higher end stuff is highly recommended from what I hear

[oblique cloak]

Best headphones i ever had was Sennheiser's.

[foggy path]

I use Sennheiser HD-650's currently which are fantastic, and Sennheisers have always been the most comfortable for me to wear

[oblique cloak]

yupp best in the business lol

[trail wedge]

Sennheiser is a real brand... they've been a name forever

[proud jay]

sennheiser is nice

but often expensive

[foggy path]

I tried the HD-800's once which are around 1 000 usd

[oblique cloak]

the old beats where good like the 2015 version, now they are trash.

[foggy path]

...they were actually not very comfortable

[zinc matrix]

I love beyerdynamic because they have boooosted bass without sacrificing quality

[foggy path]

mostly because instead of using the soft velour padding they used some harder material

[proud jay]

my headphones are 219 and already found it to be a lot

[cursive crypt]

hd700, but the plushies are well worn out after few years of use. Too expensive to replace.

[zinc matrix]

I made this pen some years ago with the printer: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3812007

now I am doing a 3D printed wristwatch

[foggy path]

Yeah looks like the more official looking bits are around 50 eur which is a fair bit of money for a bunch of padding lol

[zinc matrix]

50 euros headphones are amazng

[proud jay]

I used to think that

[foggy path]

If you like boosted bass 50 eur is probably good

[proud jay]

until I got my current ones

[zinc matrix]

I got a pair of anker, and the battery is rated for 40 hours, but they last 2 weeks on a single charge for my usecase

[proud jay]

well if you use them less than 3 hours a day that makes sense

[trail wedge]

I like Anker all the stuff I've gotten from them is nice

[cursive crypt]

Their cord failed spectacularly after 2 years. It started to disintegrate, but instead of shoving 100$ for new one, I bought a cheap 20$ sturdy replacement.

[zinc matrix]

if you disable noise cancellation (useless, because the anker I got suppress lots of noise by default) battery is rated for 60 hours

they are not telling lies, the battery truly lasts so long

[proud jay]

noise cancelling is a must

live next to busy street atm

and we have a lack of meeting rooms in the office

[zinc matrix]

one thing I noticed is that on bluetooth they have half the power, if you plug them with the jack you hear much better

[foggy path]

Yeah I got a new cord for the 650s as well (from Thomann) which was fairly reasonably priced

Not sure what makes the padding so highly valued lol

[trail wedge]

I like the noise cancelling in my Pixel buds... first headphones where I feel it's actually done something

[cursive crypt]

Must add that what I ordered was just a 20-30 cm shorter than what I needed. So I had to extend locally 🤦‍♂️

[foggy path]

:D

[cursive crypt]

Open headphones are dope tho, not bassy but give a very "realistic" sound.

[proud jay]

never tried them

[foggy path]

Yeah I don't really like the closed ones so much, it often feels like the sound has this weird pressure on my ears on those

but if you are in a noisy environment then those are definitely better

[cursive crypt]

Few times I stood to look outside the window thinking there is an ambulance or car passing for example.

[zinc matrix]

people told me its not possible to make a 3D printed wristwatch, but after almost 1 year of research I am confident there is a way. this is my first prototype.

[foggy path]

I don't really know why it wouldn't be possible to do that

[zinc matrix]

How am I going to replace the barrel and the crown mechanism ? no idea. But for now we can do most of the parts printed, since SLA is a thing

SLA allows you a level of precision that was previously impossible, hence why I think that I can do a 3D printed watch, I put 1 year of research on this project

[foggy path]

Some type of quartz mechanism would probably be sort of doable, but an automatic seems like it might require too much precision 🤔

[zinc matrix]

if it was quartz I could have just slapped a movement in it, where is the difficulty?

[proud jay]

I wanna 3d print a chessboard

but my plastic colors are a bit wonky for that tbh

about to have a yellow and purple chessboard

[zinc matrix]

try to make an anime themed chessboard

[proud jay]

uh no thank you

[zinc matrix]

spongebob is the queen

[proud jay]

bro

stop doing acid

[oblique cloak]

I have a question. If Unreal Tournament is not open to the public and in a private repo.Why do things like this exist then? https://github.com/JimmieKJ/unrealTournament/
https://github.com/OpenTournament/OpenTournament/

[zinc matrix]

I had a separated project for unreal tournament 5 but it was a secret

I was still drawing concepts

I am ashamed by the shit that it was unreal tournament 4, but I suppose that its normal, epic games also did unreal championship that was a shameful failure

[oblique cloak]

I finally got the boost from edges in my project properly with out its code, but i was just wondering how in a legal aspect how they can just put those repos out there.

[foggy path]

Can't say about the first one but opentournament seems to only have source for the project and not for the engine so I don't see an issue in emulating what UT does

[oblique cloak]

ahhh

[zinc matrix]

doesnt matter, if epic games doesnt want to do unreal tournament anymore, they have to let others to do that

the unreal tournament is too important to simply let it in the hands of corporate raiders

[foggy path]

They don't have to let anyone do anything with IP they own :P such is the situation with IP laws

[zinc matrix]

I dont care. Unreal tournament is super important

They have a moral obligation to make it available for anybody

[foggy path]

Well you can take a risk and break laws but whether that's a good idea or not you have to gauge for yourself lol

[zinc matrix]

its the cultural pilar of boomer shooting

[proud jay]

sure bud

but really though

stop with the drugs

[zinc matrix]

when you create such a great game you dont own it anymore, its like with books

I own the divine comedy and I own shakespeare. Its my property

[foggy path]

They should make an NFT of it to determine true ownership

[oblique cloak]

talk to dr disrespect then

lol

[proud jay]

why are you here if just for trolling @zinc matrix

[zinc matrix]

unreal tournament has the same significance of the divine comedy

[zinc matrix]

i originally came here to retrieve the account of affectionate user, I succeeded but affectionate user was not interested in having to do anything with me, he told me he was not developing anything

so what should I do?

the guy wasnt interested, and told me he is not doing anything at all

Sad, I needed his talent

without the talent of affectionate user it will be much harder to go on, I will just credit him at the very end

[proud jay]

you really are a strange person

[zinc matrix]

I was here previously with another name, I shitposted few things and suddenly, like a flash, I was banned.

[proud jay]

seems like it was deserved

[zinc matrix]

Somebody called the mod, and I was laughing and thinking "the mods will ban the other user instead, once they will see for what reason they have been called"

Instead I was banned, such a shock

[oblique cloak]

admins can check a log and see how many accounts you have you know. so if the ban was justifiable, i dont know what they would do.

[zinc matrix]

other than that, I made very tiny improvements in unreal engine, and I felt the need to talk about it

[proud jay]

also isn't avoiding bans against the rules

[zinc matrix]

beacuse I learn it during the weekends

[zinc matrix]

no, I was messaged by an automatic bot that told me I can just explain myself

[foggy path]

There's no way to tell if a user on discord has multiple accounts

[proud jay]

by that they don't mean making a new account

[zinc matrix]

Unfortunately it was not possible to argue with a bot

[quasi mantle]

Good thing I pressed the magical block button

[deep glen]

no need. banned.

[fleet tangle]

Did I miss some drama?

[foggy path]

https://tenor.com/view/hahahaha-laughing-emoji-gif-25077176

[foggy path]

Not really, the guy was just being weird lol

[quasi mantle]

No, just an annoying prick

[proud jay]

I might or might not have reported them for avoiding ban

[oblique cloak]

strange feller.

[deep glen]

I was just reading a bit in lounge when I saw the report.

[foggy path]

Didn't there use to be a thing if you right click a message that you can report it from there?

[proud jay]

he was a strange one anyway tbh

still is

[foggy path]

Not for me 🤔

[quasi mantle]

Also admins can't see IP addresses of their members, the only way to tell is their recurring behavior

[proud jay]

quinn shadowbanned you

[foggy path]

Uh oh

[foggy path]

I keep thinking about implementing a bot for this to verify users before they are let into a server

Eg. force the user to click a link to accept rules, the link does a fingerprint

:P

But I suspect that might technically be in violation of GDPR unless the user gives consent up front

[quasi mantle]

Then you would also need to have privacy policy for your server

[deep glen]

discord admins can see if people log into different accounts, prolly why they made logging in with multiple ones easier.
We cant see that though.

[foggy path]

Exactly

[quasi mantle]

Snooping for unsuspected people can led into serious (legal) issues

[foggy path]

I guess if it generated a hash of the user fingerprint and that was the only thing stored that might allow you to get away without having one

because at that point you're just storing a hash which can't be associated with anyone so it's not personal information

[quasi mantle]

It'd be only justified if you snoop on scammers to give them taste of their own medicine

Also I don't think affectionateUser got banned, he left voluntarily

Gotta reach out to him about it

[proud jay]

yes

don't think this was AU

maybe one of his weird friends

[oblique cloak]

weird but nice guy. sad he left tbh

is laura ever coming back?

[unreal ether]

Aw I missed a ban :(

[proud jay]

maybe fluffybunnies was laura

[unreal ether]

I'm gonna guess it was the udk preacher tho

[quasi mantle]

At worst he do occassional hug RP, which is kinda weird, but not the worst offense.

Though Laura did seem to take it too seriously

[unreal ether]

I'm guessing she just got tired of it

I mean it was near constant

[quasi mantle]

Probably, he (probably) got banned for the excessive spamming and misleading others

[unreal ether]

It's gotta be seriously annoying after a while especially when you already said no

[quasi mantle]

The UDK preacher did invade #animation and give misleading answers until I step in

[unreal ether]

How wonderful

[proud jay]

it can be kinda creepy if you keep doing it, especially as a woman I guess

that in combination with hehe keeping referring to women as female men 🤦‍♂️

[foggy path]

yeeeeeah...

lol

even I found the hugging awkward and I was just following from the sidlines

:P

[unreal ether]

I never saw it as anything other than light-hearted fun, but I would probably be quite pissed off I politely declined but still kept getting dragged back in

Awkward? Sure, harmful? No, annoying, especially after expressing disinterest? Definitely

If I was to armchair psychologist, I would say it was probably a straw that broke the camels back thing

[foggy path]

Behavior which makes other people uncomfortable is probably not the best

That kind of behavior should be opt-in, not opt-out

[unreal ether]

I'm sorry what o_O

[quasi mantle]

At least his invasion didn't cause too much misleading

I get that it can be frustrating when Epic stopped supporting UDK and the whole Unreal Tournament franchise, but invading the server is just irrational

[proud jay]

just ctrl f for it in lounge

[quasi mantle]

We ain't do shit to Unreal Tournament

[unreal ether]

I mean I did

I'm secretly tim sweeney.

The truth is we were in fact stalking them to steal only their stuff, and made ue4 to expressly piss them off

[quasi mantle]

Epic is the one pulling the plug on UT, partly due to Fortnite making more money than Unreal Tournament wished it could, and arena shooter in general is losing its relevancy

[slow gyro]

Tim, we told you you can't evade your ban. Now we have to ban this account too.

[unreal ether]

Noooooo

Gosh dangit

That's it tesselation stays gone

[oblique cloak]

not this again.

its not tesselation Thursday yet

[quasi mantle]

BRING BACK THE OLD AND ARCHAIC TESSELLATION!

It is unjust! We misuse it for creating major displacement, goddamnit!

[unreal ether]

It is Tesselation mourning Monday though

[slow gyro]

The original ban was for causing F to be the struct prefix.

[quasi mantle]

It is Tessellation Tears Tuesday (almost)

[proud jay]

but Float everything makes sense

[foggy path]

what do you mean you don't spell fstruct with an f

[slow gyro]

That's what a banned person would say

[tulip orbit]

phstruct

[trail wedge]

I blame FVector

[slow gyro]

phteven, is it you!

[foggy path]

that's where php's name comes from

[unreal ether]

The f stands for flawless

[unreal ether]

So not Fried Eggs?

[quasi mantle]

Though I should rename it to Hana Engine

[oblique cloak]

where my haters at?

[quasi mantle]

It's Flat Earth

Because flat earthers are living in simulation made by game developers

[proud jay]

wtf is that theme

[tulip orbit]

right here! 👋

[oblique cloak]

xD

[unreal ether]

Vsc 🤮🤮🤮

Is that better?

[oblique cloak]

no.

i just use it to edit code. feels smoother to edit imo and compile in vs. i am backwards.

[slow gyro]

Everyone has their fav IDE. As long as we can all hate on standard VS I'm happy

[quasi mantle]

Also got some clarification from AU

It's a different person, and indeed ban evading.

Now rest easy loungians.

[slow gyro]

Ah this is lounge? I thought I'm in #cpp

👋

[oblique cloak]

lol

[proud jay]

I use VSCode for all my development at work

also not unreal though

[cursive crypt]

Regular mistake

[quasi mantle]

Pfft

gnu nano

[slow gyro]

I use VSCode for everything not UE tbh

[proud jay]

it's pretty nice

[slow gyro]

May it be web dev or some arduino coding

[unreal ether]

VSCode looks amazing for webdev

[proud jay]

It's also just nicer for any newer languages

like Go or Rust

VS is way behind

[unreal ether]

I saw someone doing some webdev and all the shortcuts was amazing

[trail wedge]

Rider/WebStorm/Arduino have me covered... I almost never open VS currently

[proud jay]

power of extensions also

[unreal ether]

Automatically creating div's and stuff

Very nice

[slow gyro]

Arduino's standard IDE is lacking hard though

You can do everything and more in VSCode

[unreal ether]

Yet to install it because I'm a gremlin that likes vanilla vs

[trail wedge]

I don't really like it I just use it for flashing

[proud jay]

never done arduino

[slow gyro]

Fair

[proud jay]

I have a arduino nano though

idk if you can do anything with it standalone though lol

I got it for free

[trail wedge]

I use it for ESP32 stuff

[slow gyro]

It's a fun hobby, but I always reach the limit when I want to finally make something that is not using a breadboard and 50 wires

Cause I don't know how to do boards etc.

I wanted to make a small water sensor that notifies my phone so I know when the pets have no water (for funs, the bowl is almost always full anyway)

But for that i need some custom board >.>

[quasi mantle]

I use VSCode to write my GitHub Pages site

I swear I WILL publish it, I just don't know when mkay

[slow gyro]

I just don't know when
When it's done.

[unreal ether]

Guys I'm gonna make my first mmorpg from scratch solo. Releasing this year.

Should I host the servers on pi clusters and refuse to purchase business broadband

[proud jay]

I have a colleague who did this, but for his rain water reservoir

[unreal ether]

I swear there's a service that lets you upload circuit diagrams and they do the PCB design and printing for you

[slow gyro]

I ultimately fell back to setting up Home Assistant and will probably just buy sensors for whatever I need instead of making those myself.

[proud jay]

I really wanna setup home assistant

but don't have any smart devices atm :p

[quasi mantle]

Also I'm going to relocate my portfolio to there considering I've taken them down due to NDA with my previous job (the client didn't agree with me publishing it)

[slow gyro]

We have a small tablet with a 3D printed case in the kitchen on the wall

[proud jay]

all on the same page?

cause you can only have one github page I thought?

[slow gyro]

Mostly using it for lights

Also fun to see what you can read out of a dyson fan

[proud jay]

oh nice you have a VS Code server setup too

[slow gyro]

Oh, Filter Life 9%

xD

[quasi mantle]

Same site but different section

[slow gyro]

Yeah it accesses the file system of the server

[quasi mantle]

No, you can have multiple pages as much as you want on one GH Pages repo

[slow gyro]

So I can code without needing anything but the web instance

[oblique cloak]

that is pretty cool stuff you have there

[slow gyro]

Rarely used though (VS Code Server)

[proud jay]

yeah yeah I meant one repo

[slow gyro]

The Server itself is a Pi 4 somewhere in a closet

[quasi mantle]

Tbh I still don't get the appeal behind dyson fan

[oblique cloak]

You created that? or was this a fork?

[proud jay]

It's for when you want to tell your son to die, but not make it awkward

[proud jay]

It's just home assistant afaik

[slow gyro]

So, for one it's really good in terms of actually creating air flow.
And I mainly bought it cause I wanted to fight my cat allergy without getting rid of the cats.
Cause it filters quite a lot of stuff. It's in the bed room and it does improve the air a lot for me.

[quasi mantle]

Can you make funny voices with dyson fan? If no, then it's inferior

[unreal ether]

I've been wanting to set up my own little server for a while now ngl. I'm constantly forgetting to take things with me from my home system

[oblique cloak]

https://demo.home-assistant.io/#/lovelace/0

that is cool stuff tho.

[fleet tangle]

Is the Dyson fan silent? (Other than the air flowing noise)

[slow gyro]

Home Assistant is right on the line of "easy" and "absurdly hard to get into"

[slow gyro]

Yes

[fleet tangle]

Neat.

[slow gyro]

I mean, not on full power

Nothing is silent when it fully blasts

[fleet tangle]

What does it sound like?

[unreal ether]

Ig no blades also means you aren't gonna scalp yourself if you're careless

[slow gyro]

Normal fan noises tbh

Probably less loud than your GPU :D

[fleet tangle]

A motor going brrrrrr

[quasi mantle]

IMO home assistant system is only good when you (as the user) have full control of it

[slow gyro]

Yeah

[unreal ether]

I think if I get some wood or a 3d printer I'm gonna make my own "bladeless" fan powered by a noctua

[slow gyro]

It takes a bit to get how this all works ,but i basically creates an "entity" of everything you connect. Even your phones. And an entity can then be used for a lot of things.
You can use it to pull data out of it for an overview

Or you can check where it is to create automation

e.g. I have my wife's and my phone in it. HA has a Phone App, so I can see on the map where we are

I use that to make sure she got save to places when she drives

[fleet tangle]

I'm super disappointed that it doesn't use fancy technology to push the air, it's just hiding the blades inside.

[slow gyro]

Can also use that for children for example

[unreal ether]

Yeah it's really misleading lol

[slow gyro]

Yeah the fan is in the base :D

[fleet tangle]

I always thought it was basically magnets or something.

(not really magnets, but you get hte idea)

[quasi mantle]

It would be cool to have On Air signs in the house turn on automatically the moment you start OBS (or start streaming/recording)

[fleet tangle]

But I suppose it is actually magnets, because that's how electric motors work.

[unreal ether]

Although I guess "Normal fan that blows the air a funky way" doesn't have the same marketing zing

[quasi mantle]

Also repurposing laptop webcams as security cameras

[slow gyro]

Yeah you can do lots of stuff

I have an automation for the Dyson

If one of the values is higher than x for like 5 minutes, it tells my phone

[fleet tangle]

According to Dyson, the newest iterations can project more than 77 gallons of air per second for cooling airflow.
That's a shit load of air.

[slow gyro]

Cause usually that means a cat shat somewhere ;_;

I also have a media folder mounted for the videos our inhouse cameras record. Cause I'm not using some chinese server cloud shit for that ...

So I can watch them everywhere I have access to the system. And check if our dog ate the cat food again

[fleet tangle]

Just because you don't want to doesn't mean they aren't storing it.

👀

[quasi mantle]

Anyway, it's midnight, gotta do some relaxing 2 lap in Rome Circuit in GT2 and then sleep

Oyasumi, good night

[slow gyro]

We are actively blocking them from reaching the outside

They are trapped in our LAN

[fleet tangle]

You can intercept lan traffic even without a physical connection!

If you're the CIA or whatever and care about that shit

[slow gyro]

You can do a lot of things :D

I honestly want to get proper cameras that are not from some shitty china company with some shitty app

Thye don't even allow using the rotation controls outside their app

[foggy path]

This always seemed kinda interesting for home automation stuff and other things like that https://mycroft.ai/

Privacy focused AI voice assist thingy

[proud jay]

I don't get voice assistants tbh

it's still so much easier to me to just do it on my phone

than talk to a dumb ai

[foggy path]

it depends

it's much easier for me to set timers by asking Siri than having to do it myself

just say set timer for 8 minutes or whatever, doing it myself I need to get the app open, navigate to the timers tab, scroll the number to the right one/type the number in...

:P

[proud jay]

I don't set timers that often to want to setup an ai assistant

[slow gyro]

Our Alexa is also only a voiced timer by now

Rest of her features are really uninteresting

Will probably trash her soon so Amazon doesn't suggest me things I discussed with my wife...

[foggy path]

I use it when cooking or such pretty often because otherwise I forget to check

The other feature I use is "What song is this"

Sometimes it would be handy if it could easily take notes and save it but I've not found an easy way to do it except via a custom shortcut which I then promptly forgot lol

[proud jay]

I just use timer on my watch

[foggy path]

That seems like it's even more annoying to set up when the screen/buttons are even smaller than on a phone?

lol

[proud jay]

I don't want all mah data going to the cloud

[foggy path]

My watch just displays time and day of month, it doesn't even use electricity. No risk of cloud there lol

[proud jay]

I have the timer on shortcut, so then just scroll select minutes like on iphone and then that's it

[foggy path]

Right

[proud jay]

man smart watch wake up feature is the best though

that shit just starts vibrating

so much nicer than an alarm screaming in your ears

also doesn't wake up person next to you

[foggy path]

when do you charge it if you can't even take it off at night lol

[proud jay]

I charge while I shower

It is technically waterproof, but not gonna use it in there anyway lol

[foggy path]

Last time I had a waterproof device which I decided to test in the shower turned out it wasn't as waterproof as advertised

Thankfully it resumed operations as normal after it dried :P

[proud jay]

rip

[proud jay]

was this per chance Luos' pc?

[foggy path]

lol

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

they later released a statement that it infact was not as waterproof as advertised, I guess I wasn't the only one who had found out lol

[proud jay]

Bet his gf just took the computer into the shower and was too ashamed to admit so she said the roof leaked instead

[proud jay]

lol, but did you get a refund or something?

[foggy path]

Nah I mean it didn't break or anything, and it's not like I needed the waterproofness of it for something

[proud jay]

why are you taking a phone in the shower though

[fleet tangle]

Duct tape.

[foggy path]

I literally just wanted to see how well it would work in the shower because it was advertised as waterproof lol

[fleet tangle]

Does not want to see that video

[foggy path]

I have a beautiful shower singing voice I'll have you know

[proud jay]

gonna test if my toaster is waterproof brb

[fleet tangle]

It's not the audio I'm concerned about.

[foggy path]

I have the body of a male model

The cops will never find it

[oblique cloak]

No matter how water proof phones will get. I will always act like they are not.

[foggy path]

It's not a very useful feature beyond not breaking if you somehow drop it into water I guess

[proud jay]

indeed

[foggy path]

because the touch screen will spaz out regardless if there's moisture on it

[proud jay]

I'll trust it more for biking through the rain or something I guess

but it's not a selling feature to me

[unborn lotus]

Accidentally going into the sea with it in your back pocket

[foggy path]

None of the swimwear I ever wore had pockets anyway

[proud jay]

waterproof does not necessarily imply salt proof

[foggy path]

Need to go for a dive to test whether my watch truly is waterproof up to 200 meters as they claim

[unborn lotus]

Mankinis usually don't 🥁

hello nerds

[zinc matrix]

i see you're a man of culture as well..

[oblique cloak]

i dont know why i like it better, lol i just do. everyone loves there IDE's. Few errors trying to understand the compiling, i gave up on that and just edit here, hit save then compile in vs.

[zinc matrix]

i dont use it as my daily editor, but is fun sometimes. i use batch files to compile usually.

[proud jay]

what is happening to me, I'm up to 8 now

[cursive crypt]

What is Source movement? Quake? Iirc it was much more dynamic.

[oblique cloak]

its a mixture of all of them.

im working on my own custom feeling

[cursive crypt]

I see. A camel, but nothing like it.

[oblique cloak]

The idea, and then my idea. idk 😦 always wanted to do this back when i was a kid. cs 1.6 servers, cod servers, halflife all these jump and surf maps with dedicated servers. Garrys mod life was good im just trying to recreate.

[cursive crypt]

uh, ookay...

8 chess losses in a row

[cursive crypt]

Aaah... okay, so, you are a looser.

[proud jay]

loser*

[steel summit]

I've got similar movement with my game. Are you using the CMC from Project Borealis?

[oblique cloak]

nope. this is all mine. the code they use is not replicated correctly.

i fought with him about this for days on end.

[cursive crypt]

Ok, loser

[steel summit]

I made some changes and got it to work but its not the same as their movement

[oblique cloak]

so many errors in that code its unbelievable.

i took the code from here to create my bhop system

http://adrianb.io/2015/02/14/bunnyhop.html

i still have a long way to go. my falling physics are not correct. landing spots are still showing up invalid

[steel summit]

I made mine just hold space bar lol and there's little to none for air accel, its all about energy preservation and dashing to increase speed or to bhop backwards which results in hilarious ludicrous speeds.

[oblique cloak]

converting valves code is very tedious...

[proud jay]

ok up to 9 losses

what is this

[primal summit]

skillz

[pearl elk]

Stop using a losing strategy

[steel summit]

However I made it work, if they are bhoping backwards and going super duper fast its not that effective because the levels are designed in such a way that you need lots of room to build up speep

But the obstacles make it very difficult to do

[oblique cloak]

i mean you can just create you multiplier in the pbmovement MOVE

[primal summit]

try my preferred opening

[oblique cloak]

for backwards movement and velocity

[cursive crypt]

Last few months I was doing too a lot of dumb mistakes. Frequently, the same ones. I explain it with getting old.

[oblique cloak]

but that code is just bad. idk.

[proud jay]

which one

[pearl elk]

Getting old sounds like a losing strategy

[cursive crypt]

Definitely. No cheat codes too.

[pearl elk]

Stay young forever and win life

[steel summit]

im not much of a c++'er. I can tinker and adjust and break things but work mostly with blueprints

[oblique cloak]

take a look at some of these githubs i linked with the video

lots of cool things 😄

[primal summit]

G3 ... BH3 ... NF3 ... O-O

[steel summit]

yea I saw that site

[primal summit]

can't find it as a named book opening

[cursive crypt]

Can you ask chatgpt to play chess instead of you?

[steel summit]

Now I'm adding some physical animations aka hit reactions and its so funny to see the character bhop while half ragdolled

arms just flopping around

[pearl elk]

He's probably playing against ChatGPT lol

[proud jay]

that is such a random opening

[cursive crypt]

Imagine loosing against non-chess AI

rand()

[pearl elk]

Non-chess AI trained on all the chess books in history lol

[oblique cloak]

i want to add to my game.. remember back in the day on miniclip.com there was a game where you flung a human and tried to make him go as far as possible and break his bones?

lol

[cursive crypt]

It will probably just complain it does not know how to play.

[pearl elk]

Legit strat, draw them in with false hope then crush them

[steel summit]

I followed this one as a starting point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46NfgXlnCzM

[oblique cloak]

skipped ahead in the video, im going to need this in the near future! thank you

[primal summit]

it makes a pretty defensive structure, hard to attack while leaving most of the board free for attacking

[primal summit]

I have a later version of it, what's it called...

[oblique cloak]

i cant even remember the name but it was a great game. i always wanted to get the high score, never got it tho lol

[steel summit]

end result is around 46:24

other stuff at the end is the beginning of another system

[primal summit]

erm, sorry, not BH3, BG2

[oblique cloak]

its bothering me now... i cant remember lol

https://web.archive.org/web/20080516001450/http://www.miniclip.com/games/en/

was like 2007 - 2012

i think

In other news. The rising of the shield hero is a great anime 😄

[timber viper]

ehm..

except season 2

[oblique cloak]

yeah season 2 right now.. kinda sucks 😦 on episode 3

[fleet tangle]

RotSH s2 was shit.

First half anyway. Gets better later on.

Once the turtle bullshit is out of the way.

In fact, you can probably just skip the first 6 episodes and lose nothing.

[primal summit]

RotSH=Reign of the Shit Heads?

I seriously have no idea

Except the plot is even slower.

Rambunctiousness of the Salacious Herbivores.

[primal summit]

In MY version, they march to Mordor in full platemail with swords, stopping for 11 meals a day and plenty of naps, fight their way to Sauron's throne room without losses, and tell Sauron, "What the hell dude? Seriously uncool!", then march back home.

[fleet tangle]

Ironically, it's them that had to keep an eye on him.

look how clean it is

beautiful sequenced code.

and the lower bracket

the blue ref line goes through the function node

ok its only 99% clean.

happy?
