sad but true.. wait, no.. we're cool! I'm sure of it!
a simple electric motor diagram
mechanical-electrical energy transformation
what about for regular motor?
electrical-mechanical
thx so much!!!
- Explain how an electrical charge can make a personโs hair be attracted to a piece of clothing when the clothing is removed.
this is friction right?
static?
static electricity?
yes
ok
electric motors are honestly impressive
The charges in the hair and clothing become oppositely polarised, making them attract each other.
it's kinda similar to us โบ๏ธ
As opposed to a solar panel, or even an antenna
weird question: do any of you listen asmr? it reduce my want of smashing-the-pc each time my project crashed
i usually have 19 tabs of different ear licking asmr streams open while i work
so you like the sound of a snail moving on the microphone
maybe just get a pet snail instead
I have only bugs as pets.
They invite themselves.
Kinda wonder whether it will be used for consoles.
Oh no, its all over for UE5
Nah, UE has more bugs
Yeah, its pretty much that.. they do some fun stuff to make it learn better completions (you see it a lot in transformer architectures). To be honest, these LLM's are powerful because they have a long set of tokens when they're learning during distributed training (token is just an id value for a word or word fragment). You can test it by training your own model and using only say 6 tokens with the same architecture and see how much dumber it is ๐
There's open source LLM's now though at least. Weirdly Meta announced an open source model called LLama, but its only OS for research and non commercial, which is pointless. Bloom is proper open source if I recall.
who thought thats a good idea?
Oh no, I put my grandmother's secret cookie recipe in there ๐ฑ
shit so i shouldn't of given it my social security number?!
social security numbers aren't supposed to be a secret though
clearly you overestimate the US government security
yea it's sad that some places use the ID as a way to authorize stuff
thankfully in Finland I don't think that's the case anymore (or ever has been)
we use bank based authorization ๐
it just evolved into that over time
because banks are required to know their customers (by law) and it is in their own interest too
and then the bank auth systems evolved into auth services other services could use to verify if someone was whoever they're claiming to be
we can also use bank card most of the time
we also have a government app that you need to set up once with your phone number and either ID or bank card
and then you can use that app for official stuff
We use digital, advanced, online paperwork too, but you have to print them out and bring them by 11 AM
Discord is fine.
twitter have had issues today at least
Huh, Epic has pretty nice salaries apparently when even a technical writer can earn 180k on the high end https://www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/careers/jobs/4801862004?sessionInvalidated=true
can!
I sort of have 10 years of technical writing expertise, too bad it isn't remote lol
huh, they aren't hiring anyone for their Helsinki office?
Yeah, only office work, duh. What if you want to lie on the sofa at home?
who wants to be a technical writer though
Wouldn't you for 180k
lol
No idea how that payscale is calculated though, might be you need to be some kind of god to get the top end of the range
Isnt that interesting, my game dev streams on twitch got heaps more views than my gaming ones
and work in california
already bad enough
but also no I would not be miserable for 40 hours a week for 180k
Have you seen Epics documentation though ๐
writing can be fine
but doing it day in and out gets boring quick I think
especially cause you're just translating things someone else made to 5th grader level
Yeah you could have a real impact on productivity in that kind of role lol
I bet the reason the pay is so high is to try to appeal to people from the movie industry in Cali
Vengeance I am
Unfortunately you could end up in a situation when alot is on your shoulders too
That's part of any job though
True but this says you "own the animation documentation" which says to me if something goes south, youre the punching bag
Yeah which is again literally part of the job when you have any kind of responsibility
You won't get paid 180k if you have zero responsibility for stuff
idk why, but the yellow face part reminds me of gremlins..
True but the way its stated already piles on stress which isnt a good way to start to me but aye, thats why I wouldnt take 180k
Hard to say, a lot of positions talk about how you have ownership of something because it tells you you will have some say on that sorta stuff yourself instead of just having to do whatever
They want you to take ownership of your work which is fine but in my experience this is the type of language mangers use when they wanna punch down
Could just be a HR type post though using common language
do you have advice for a good course focused on unreal materials?
Tbh I don't really know how else would you phrase it lol
the golf course Ive found really helps if youre looking for inspiration for grass materials
then drive via hovergraft on golf course
thanks for advice รน
Well its pretty clear that for 180K Epic are buying your words, they own their documentation
So when things go well, they take credit, if things go bad then you own the documentation ๐
lol
I think you may be reading too much into the specific words in it
A lot of people who write these things are... not exactly great writers
lol
How much of a disaster could documentation be anyways
Im guessing it mostly comes down to deadlines not content
yeah
no one sane would just take the job based on what's in the post anyway, always want to make sure the working style etc. is good in the interview
Yeah Im totally not qualified for this job lol
I could do technical writing but not for animation
Wait a second, why do all Epics job listings send me to the same page?
Oh? Did they break something there too lol
Looks like it to me, unless my cookies are borked
new calamari cookiies needed?
Wouldn't be first time they had cookie issues on their site
Wait, Contracts Administrator worked
Used to get infinite loops with their login screen sometimes
if I find a good material course for unreal I tell you
How far one can go with unrealism in unreal?
I saw very good anime things in unreal
The Unrealism is unfathomable!
A guy uses SSS fresnel for more unrealism, I saw him on level80
some say #materials is good resource to have
Hey I downloaded a resource available for unreal 4 and copy and paasted inside of a folder for an unreal 5 project, the material contained secret nodes that are not recognized
I suppose that the secret nodes were "material functions"
right?
theres no secrets
the nodes were supposed to be containing various inputs and outputs but unreal 5 showed none of them and gave error
so I suppose that they were custom made functions from unreal 4
is it true?
then how can I replicate them if they are not even visible?
Open them in UE4
Nah its paid DLC
You also need the gold logo bling chain to get it to work in multiscreen mode
I made this thing, need to make the orbit splines. Thats our inner solar system next to Trappist-1
You come across a website with a strange name, "This Person Does Not Exist." Your curiosity gets the best of you, and you click on the link. As the page loads, you see a single image on the screen. It's a photo of you, but it's distorted and twisted in an unnatural way.
You try to click away, but the website won't let you. You feel a chill run down your spine as you realize that the website has somehow captured your image and is using it for something sinister.
As you stare at the distorted image of yourself, you begin to feel as if something is watching you. The longer you look, the more you feel like you're being drawn into the photo. The image seems to be alive, pulsing and writhing in front of you.
does this sound interesting?
for what
The moobs have my interest
what u mean with for what? how does that matter
It sounds too old-school I mean all websites and apps have my pictures
It makes sense in the 00s
What if... the website was clicking on you ๐ฎ
What is this amazing moving image technology you have invented
You have to add some AI, faceapp, conspiracy thing for todays times
What if you are the AI but dont know it ๐ฎ
๐คฏ๐คฏ๐คฏ
Its amazing reading about this astronomy stuff, Id not really kept up with it but these guys just keep on grinding. The star Betelgeuse ejected a huge dust wave large enough we saw the dimming from here in Oct of 2019
This star would be the size of our sun to the asteroid belt
You just kinda get this model of a solar system from ours stuck in your head bit like the basic atomic model, its not really something that crosses your mind that there are solar systems small enough that many could fit inside a single giant star
pff. the stars in the sky are just pinholes in the terrarium the aliens keep us in
I can think of worse prisons

oh my god
they finally capped insulin prices
to $35 atleast one brand lol not sure the rest but gonna definitely be huge pressure
my profits!@
You pay for insulin?
for a month
so you don't get any more insulin once you reached the $35 ๐
that smiley at the end was a indicator for sarcasm
if the content already didn't make it clear enough...
but what if you were using sarcasm sarcastically
but honestly, there's still a small chance that it could be true
you're bad at sarcasm
and honestly american medical would probably do like buy a hamburger get a free insulin
lol
rationing insulin for the eugenics project?
he's just salty because he didn't get it
Why not buy insulin to get a free hamburger
why not insulin burgers?
hamburgers are probably subsidised under US healthcare tbh
just under pork ribs and corn syrup
the actual raw ingredients might actually be subsidised by taxes
mountain dew is now sold with insilin shots?
I don't eat hamburgers after they started putting pill pockets in them
I don't want crayons

can i hide this thing somehow?
But look how NEW and shiny it is!
Also mine doesnโt so that so maybe visit that section once and it might disappear?
i tried to mark all as read, and muted all channels but its still there ๐ญ
weird, if i uncheck introductions channel it goes away, even though i dont have any unreads there
so, that was it. thanks ๐
Yeah, and it has so many problems some people are already like, "Well, 4.1 will fix these problems." ๐คฃ Just like 3.1 was supposed to fix 3.0. And 3.3 fix 3.2. And 4.0 fix 3.x. It's the perpetual boasting, and then can kicking without results that irritates me with that engine.
Even some of the Godot developers told me, "Don't touch Godot for at least 2-3 years" ๐
It took me 6 years to learn it was a complete farce in 3D, and I'm ashamed it took me that long.
Still OK for 2D, but even then I don't think I'd touch 4.0.
I think if I cared about open source, MIT 3D engine... I'd embrace Wicked Engine. The guy actually knows what he's doing, it seems.
And Wicked Engine is being used as the basis for other engines; and it doesn't have all the PBR problems Godot does.
Also, someone I know, also another long time Godot user... recently, sent me two screenshots; one from one of their scenes in Godot 4.0 and one from a renderer they built in a few weeks following tutorials; their slapped together renderer made Godot's look bad. And I don't mean just a little bad, I mean real bad. Like, "I wouldn't touch this without a hazmat suit" level of bad. So, I'm glad other people are finally starting to see the light and open their eyes. ๐
tbh the learning curve is extremely steep for lots of people not everyone is looking for the best renderer or the best this or that simply having gdscript less moving parts less options is useful for someone getting started
similar to like luau or python
I am always talking about Godot in the context of a semi-capable 3D engine; for people who want to build more than low spec games.
I have always said if 2D is your thang, Godot is prob your thang. If low spec is your thing, it's 3D will work for you... in a small game.
yeah I think that's what they're trying to target tbf
Nah, I've been on the inside of Godot long enough to know better... and Juan regularly boasts its 3D in comparison to UE5. At once point, he even tried to compare SDFGI to Lumen.
And SDFGI is half fo Godot's rendering problems... it causes really bad shadow/light artifacts when you enable it-- amplifying the problems Godot's renderer already has. And, it performs terribly. A whole game using Lumen ran better on my old PC than a single roomed game using SDFGI in Godot. ๐
of course they're gonna try to chase after those kinds of features in a more simplistic way i believe they're even receiving a megagrant
There's many horror stories I could tell you about the internal dev of Godot, but alas... it's a long and sordid story. ๐
tbf it just sounds like the developer is a heretic
clearly he has never read the dragonHell scripture
agreed
Pretty much; he's immune to good ideas... and criticism. It is an uphill battle for any fo the core developers to actually improve/fix the engine.
Juan, essentially, told Victor Blanco he didn't know what he was doing when Victor offered performance fixes for the engine (boosts of between 30-50% btw)
from all I've read in this chat about the dude it really is a pain to develop on godot
what is the license like
could some dude just fork and make it a billion times better
Victor did it for "proof of concept" on improving Godot. Got chased out of the community, more or less by Juan.
He's not the only one either; it's happened to many other devs who had solid ideas for makign Godot a better engine.
The "Legend of Vblanco"-- which is the most public one: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/23998
Oh is this the one where he's adamant that using some sort of "stable" and "good" structure is better than the perfectly fine fast one?
That's his excuse... but, personally, I believe it's more: If it didn't come from Juan's head, he's not interested. And that's the feel I've gotten from my friends who worked on Godot as core devs too. I could be wrong, but all the years I been there with the lack of real improvement; I wouldn't bet on it. ๐
Rimworld dev was also driven away, and his concerns disregarded by Juan... but that one isn't public.
But ye... took me 6 years to realize how bad things actually were, but alas... I finally made it to Unreal. ๐
I wonder what a modern engine would look like nowadays tbh
UE?
who thinks linked list is a good structure though
the use cases for it are quite limited
It's good for what it's good for.
but how do you get to it being your goto
If a new engine were to be built? Maybe something like Wicked? I haven't used it extensively... but it's one of the newest boys on the block.
Very capable from what I'm told.
there was that one interesting engine
that got removed due to copyright
cause it was too similar to a version they sold to some other company
Bevy is also a new engine, haven't used it in any capacity though
I've seen that
I'm kind of interested in what Eric Lengyel's C4 engine will bring to the table when its released at GDC.
Parts of it was licensed by idTech, so there's some chops in there that at least some of C4 is gonna be good.
It'll explode onto the scene.
No doubt Eric Lengyel is a highly competent engineer... though, I always worry about engineers when it comes into designing UI and tools-- they are usually not the best people for the job, lol.
I'm not discrediting ue just curious what something from scratch disregarding all the bloat and old codebase would look like
According to Eric, C4 compiled in 35 seconds on an i7 machine.
The whole engine, its toolset, etc.
Ye, that's why I'm on the "wait and see" bus for C4.
I mean, I'm okay with an archaic UI. ๐
As long as it works decently well.
I care about usability more than how it looks.
But sometimes, when it comes to engineers... they design tools that do the job, but if you do the wrong thing with them.. it'll break everything. And I hope C4 doesn't fall into that trap.
It would be really nice to have a smaller engine though, kinda like a sidepiece to UE, you know. ๐
nothing's gonna replace ue anytime soon with that
wallet
Godot was my "indie engine", but I kept feeling like I needed to throw up in my mouth every time I saw it render something. ๐คฃ
"Why is this shadow 2m away from my object? Why does box my have huge horns? Why does crossing shadows give you the same results as Ghostbusters crossing streams?"
"Why is there a huge staircase on my shadow? Why did you use this ridiculous dithering to hide the problem instead of fix it?"
And my most recent favorite two... Juan telling me that mix lighting modes are bad for engines (essentially, it should either be all baked lighting or all dynamic lights). Which is what he told a friend of mine too, that baked lighting is less efficient than dynamic shadow maps for performance.
And here I am like, "No wonder Godot 3D performs like a tired donkey."
Anyway /endrant, lol
why is no one taking over lol
Not to his official source, though
Yeah, there are forks of Godot that try to improve it and backstream the changes-- but it's still an uphill battle for those people doing it.
And those engines, despite improvements, can't fix the problems fast enough than new ones get piled on as the engine grows.
It's kind of a monumental task... much easier said than actually done.
Oh, actually, the Rimworld thing has some public discourse: https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/8mhzfo/comment/dzosa6s/ here's a post from Rimworld dev on his takes after evaluating Godot. And his conclusions back then, are the same as mine now-- Godot doesn't do the fundamentals well. He said it was close, but it's not there... and sadly, five years later, it's still not.
nice, my summer holiday begins on 20th of may or so and lasts until august
Wtf is wrong with people lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOuW_RGp0to
so just got done watching gamefromscratch's Godot 4 video, and a few comments are already getting spicy! "Unreal is huge, slow and bloated....that's why I've been waiting for Godot and eager to leave the shithell that is Unity/Unreal =D"
It'll be a good read tonight when I get home. ๐
The long process of waiting for Godot is... over! The open source Godot game engine just released Godot 4! In this video we look at the key new features including SDFGI and Voxel Global Illumination, the new Vulkan Render, the new 2D Tilemap editor, Occlusion culling and much more!
The graphics used in this video are part of the current Synty...
Unreal is huge, sometimes slow and surely bloated though 
is bloated or loaded with features ๐ค
Both
potato ... tomato
Unreal is suffering from some tolerable tech debt
pineapple grenade
lol I skipped through a godot 4 video real quick, and new features are occlusion culling and LODs
what is this 2004?
Its the day godot was started being developed afaik
runs fairly well/ good on my pc. ryzen 5500 ...2060 nvidia
truth is, when engines ship with huge amounts of tech, you don't expect bloat?
Sometimes single design choice ends up making every other future implementation cursed too
For example afaik widget tick is defined in generated code
Just why 
shadows look pretty good
nice!!
damn Roblox got better lighting
All they had to do was hiring Laura with megagrants
I think Luara would have been better to work on roblox though
can I copy your homework? sure but change it a little
Itโs the same thing just one side is black
Hold up is there a trick here? Or was that the only difference
One of the greatest games. And I don't like Star Wars.
Juan wouldn't be able to work with Laura, he hates being told the truth about his code.
Yeah, in 3.x, LODs have to be manually scripted. They have a setting, it just doesn't work.
๐ง
The defense was always that it is easy enough to script for, so it wasn't a priority.
did it start as 2d engine or why those features so late?
ive never used it
but chat today has made me curious
Started as a 3D engine.
Open sourced as a 2D/3D engine
Came late because at the beginning most people were asking for 2D features. And 4 is mostly focused on 3D.
Why they didn't add it in 3.x - I don't know.
They've been working on 4 for 5 years. Once they started pushing bugs and issues to be addressed in 4.0, that's when I start the clock.
For awhile, they didn't want to do much of anything to the renderer because they were rewriting it for 4.0 and they saw it as wasted effort.
They say don't prematurely optimise your game, but how can I playtest in 4 fps
people who say those things write books and dont do things
they're still deving valorant 2
valorant is not a fps. you cant change my mind on this.
its a lot of shit happening all at once for no apparent reason.
valorant is barely a game
tbh when your playing it, it does not feel like a shooter.
even tho you have guns, the abilities ruin the gunplay.
client prediction is off, the hitboxes make no sense.
so, cs + ow ๐
ADS has a delay with hip and ADS like they never normalized the camera to the gun
_<
i can go on for days.
lol
yea, but they also have ults?
yupp
not one click kill everyone but still
each player has a ult in valorant.
reyna has double tap with instant healing
Some how the character screams when using an ult too where the whole map can hear it
hes got a megaphone
im pretty sure theres nothing much to add for shooter games other than survival mechanism. dayz kinda did it without ults. so there is still a chance for innovation.
there is a lot of things you can add. thats just there style they wanted to create
way more innovative ideas out there
oh yea, skins..
and thats all they care about
selling more skins and releasing new characters.
smh.
I think you found the point that it's no longer premature. What that statement always means to me is "don't get bogged down in how to do something well or you'll never do it. Implement SOMETHING so you have a framework to look at and adjust in several steps, with good use of profiling."

There's no "er" and "th" in Japanese, so this happens. I actually know a lot of games/animes where voice actors pronounce it this way.
oh well (And by the way auditions are never like this from my experience)

I am at lesson 5 and I watched a movie on charlie chaplin
its really good
So, if I created a ChatGPT version of myself.... fed it some of my chat history... I wonder if people would even realize if I'm no longer human? Then what if I trained Tortoise TTS on my voice, linked it into a server and gave it the ability to voice chat. ๐คฃ I think I could replace myself, somewhat, convincingly.
Then, what if I tied it into a soft phone... and had it answer and make calls on my behalf.
I could create a persona of myself, that I could guide... without actually directly interacting with anyone. ๐
there was some smartphone company actually making a system where you could have an AI automatically answer calls in your voice
I forgot which one though
I think the downfall could be if it accepts contracts from a scammer, lolol.
Is "sorry, it wasn't me" an acceptable excuse to get out of a contract?

but I just use the same screen for my own pc
#badass
but also, do they expect me to get 2 desks lol
I think it's just for insurance purposes that they put that there
thinking about changing it up though
now I have a 43" big boi
but they also offer 34" widescreen
maybe that's more manageable for at home
could put a second monitor on top if I wanted
idk it's just a bit big innit
why the fuck people from this server keep sending me random friend requests
not even a bot this time
actual chat history
that and "hey, i remember you helped me few months ago with my problem. anyways, i have another question.." happens often in general channel
ig its a life time support agreement when you help someone once
yes those are the rules here sorry
Diablo has amazing cinematics
i saw the diablo youtube videos and its all peak graphics
they have a movie inside of the game
What a masterpiece of graphics, only issue is that the story itself is mega boring
Np
Let him drive, he's too cute to cause an accident
I don't think that's how that works
we can sway the police by kitten's cuteness
i believe it would be effective as "jk" defense
worth a try
updated our caching so that instead of having like 9 methods per type everything is generic
I am listening to lecture 7 on the studio era
I think that the ideas I got from mute movies are very useful
just accidentally delivered checkmate lol
Itโs so rainy outside rn
Super useful photo there
Its raining so heavily its 0 visibility
how much
you need to go on reddit
reddit is good for publicity
I posted a gif on reddt and around 3000 people liked it in 1 day, I suppose I will have to follow it more, in the hierarchy of social media reddit comes first for when you do marketing
Twitch is kinda horrible for promotion tbh lol
Probably better off with shorts on TikTok n stuff
Twitch is kinda horrible
for promotiontbh lol
Fixed it for ya!
Thanks Kor for the Subscription MAAAAATE HYPE
I asked chat gpt "ispire me for an inovative and fun game i could code an publish", pretty cool result:
Alright, let's think even more outside the box. How about a game called "Teleport Quest"?
In this game, players would take on the role of time-traveling adventurers who must use their teleportation powers to navigate through different time periods and dimensions to complete various quests and missions.
The game could be set up as a hybrid of an action-adventure game and a puzzle game. Players would have to use their wits and strategic thinking to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies while exploring different locations in different eras and parallel universes.
To add an innovative twist, the game could use real-world locations and events as the basis for the game's quests and missions. For example, players could be tasked with preventing the assassination of a historical figure or stopping a catastrophic event from occurring in a parallel universe.
The game could also have a social element, allowing players to team up with other players from around the world to complete missions together and share in the adventure.
Overall, Teleport Quest could be an innovative and exciting game that combines elements of time travel, action, puzzle-solving, and social gameplay. It could offer endless possibilities for exploration and adventure, making it a game that players would want to keep coming back to again and again.
Hmm, Day of the Tentacle comes to mind
I have chatgpt treating me as if I'm Loki
I see, looks fun๐
Yeah its interesting, there are alot of time based puzzles
Not enough point and click adventures nowadays
I'm waiting till it gets revived as a new indie trend๐คฃ
I still play em from time to time
do you know daedalic?
they made and published really cool ones
but mostly in the german area i think
Yeah Ive played acouple, State of Mind was really good
Sounds like a PR, little sense, ton of sugar.
yeah.. but i think it could give you a pretty detailed concept if you kept asking the right questions..
if its good is the other question im just enthusiastic๐
my game idea is based on sumerian mythology and I use my grandma as an AI
because why not
idea: sumatra vs sumeria
someone has already done grandma ai.. theres a whole series called granny ๐
ig its horror game. but its pretty funny
anyone have experience with eos vs playfab vs gamelift or any other alternatives
maybe just go with playfab so everything is in one place
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
actually on a flip note maybe I'll just write it all myself and throw it on a ec2 cluster
thanks i will check

Itโs a very high quality photo
So high quality that it is a screenshot of a loading image
That type of quality 
Neat. UE5 crashed and reset my glass material, modified starter content
You didnt want that glass material anyway
Computer froze for 5 minutes while installing Edge. I don't use Edge. (โฏยฐโกยฐ)โฏ๏ธต โปโโป
I keep getting Edge ads, I swear MS will never learn
If you open Chrome website on Edge its all like... are you sure, cmon man nudge nudge
Then you open Edge website on Chrome and its just AHAHAHAHA, still chromium bro
MS keep pestering us, its enough we use win10
Yeah I had a full install screen after an update recently just to stop and try to sell me Edge and Office 365
Google might be greedy as too but they dont do that with Android updates
This happens regularly on my end. It actually wants to install win11 and meanwhile, maybe you want 365?!
Yeah I noticed recently Edge somehow snuck in as my default PDF viewer and if I open a link from Outlook it wont use my default browser it defaults to Edge
its so sly
Ha! It did that recently too. It was Chrome, then suddenly - Edge. Had to reassign.
Thing is MS is fighting the wrong fight, no one cares what browser you use when theyre all running the same thing underneath
Even Opera is chromium now
Frankly, I don't care as long I have everything well integrated. Bookmarks, clouds etc. And I use G stuff. Therefore, nothing else.
Pain in the butts, I wish Facebook app would use the default browser on Android instead of having its own browser. They really dont want you to leave
Thats the thing I find with tech in general these days, its full of what I call friction multipliers. Its designed in a way that certain things have extra friction to keep you locked into their service rather than supporting seamless transition
Oh youre leaving Steam, Epic, Youtube etc, are you sure you wanna go to the link you clicked? They'll tell you its to protect you but it breaks fundamental functionality in terms of the internet. To think they rekon there will be a seamless metaverse... Ok Boomer lol
Sorry I need to check with Cloudflare to see if I can use that word ๐
Dystopia
But aye MS, Google etc are too busy trying to sell you shit to fix the fundamental problems with the internet
Companies with the largest tech resources on the planet actually doing something useful, muahaha good joke
Back in my day lad we hit the stop button so a page wouldnt try to load all the images because it was too slow hahaha
Yeah, I remember that. The froze mid showing.
Remember when everyone hated popups, them were the days
They still hated tho? I hope.
I see em everywhere though, now theyre just floating in the window instead of a separate window
thats not a popup
thats a modal
all the same shit just teasing lol
atleast it doesnt open a new tab though
glad chrome blocks those
yeah but have you ever opened a browser with 100 tabs and tried working out where the audio is coming from?
probably some IGN video autoplaying
mute tabs
mute the entire browser more like lol
but then you download like 40 YT videos without realising in the background
Sorry, which tab, these are windows ๐
based
Thats not even all of em, see the scroll at the bottom?
is that opera
tbf you could make an extension so quickly to mute all tabs
for loop the tabs and mute them
on another note do you know tabs can be closed?
yeah but like I said it doesnt stop em downloading does it
and I do close em, this is after heavy research so they bloated back out
If I bookmark em its outta sight, outta mind
tbh I could use an AI assistant to help
instead MS adds ChatGPT to Bing...
give me Clippy damnnit, I need his help obviously
There is actually a good feature in Opera for organising tabs but again, dont use it because it hides them all out of sight. I prefer to have them there as a reminder
I know ppl who have files on their desktop.
whats the best browser?
I use a generic browser, firefox
use tab groups
i think its working fine
subjective who cares
chrome could be considered the best because it has the most users
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
so I can just a random browser
I do that occasionally if its just memes I wanna quickly share etc
I have firefox because I like the logo
I listened to online courses for frontend
thats how I got an introduction to the concept of "coding"
Into javascript
but now I am more focused on cpp
oh no, stick to javascript lol
AHAHA
CPP is a boomer language ๐
surprisingly there are lots of online courses that teach such topics I myself enrolled into many of them
theres courses for everything tbh
I am not an expert I just use whatever leads me to do what I want
i was working on an rpc library
but then i realized why make an rpc library
i can learn how to write my own database
ye you can learn
and make sdks that are based on codegen
coding can be learned online no problems
I learnt to code from these ancient tomes found in the depths of the dungeons, we had to fight bosses called librarians to take them back to our houses
Such are the ways of love.
Back in the day the best tutorials were text documents you'd find in the Quake mods directory on FTPs
You might get lucky and find a few on demo discs, which were these strange circular objects which came with these smaller tomes known as magazines
you've truly peaked when documentation starts to look legible
if coding wasnt this easy I would have never started
I do find fascinating the esoteric aspects of coding, but its really not for me, if I dont get easy access to knowledge I just giveup
Whats the hardest thing you've done so far
the hardest thing is to learn math
true
coding itself is not what bothers me since its not about all there is to it
Hardest thing about coding in UE is remembering not to hit the build button in the build menu instead of right clicking on the project and hitting build
Its only an hour wasted per miss click ๐
hardest thing in ue is trying to move things to a different folder
I dont move things inside of unreal, I just break everything and move manually in windows ๐
I didnt do much UE learning lately
least if its broken you remember to fix your redirectors
I was more learning animation and so on
Its good that I did animation learning because I got to improve my 3D models, I want to follow a course on materials in UE
you will learn what you must lean
Hardest thing is when you get to the point where the learning materials are either too easy or too difficult
sometimes you need to do and learn by doing
and show other people what you do
AoT started off pretty damn well.
that shows sus
Well thats not a circle
you're right
Phew, thought I might need to get my eyes checked
you you you don't don't don't get to decide what is a circle circle circle and and what is is not a circle
nice. they finally implemented search in vsc?
is this sarcasm?
no
Was in uni doing some directx stuff. Fat fingered rebuild instead of build. Had to rebuild the entire DX toolkit. On a network drive. Took like 30 minutes.
nice good learning
tfw when fat fingered PC reset
I cringe at how unsafe that is
there was/is that tiktok thing where ppl run the road as close in front of a truck as possible
yea bunch of ppl died
frankly, axeman is safer than laserdude
Agree with that. Knew a guy who knew how to handle sharp tools. During a winter camp he pulled the axe out of the stump and it kinda jumped a bit and landed across his ankle. You know those pictures you see and they say, don't worry it looks worse than it is, well this wasn't. It was much worse.
Lasers by comparison, proper eye protection will be fine in most use cases.
I'm guessing that, it would ironically only burn off the layer of oil on top of your skin. Wouldn't even notice until you did 2 or 3 passes.
given the shaking of the camera and the elapsed time, that laser is likely uninterlocked and unguarded
the eyes are the part at risk
Can't see if the user has eye protection.
if seen a ski too the tigh
small cut, but could have killed if ppl didnt act fast
he was drunk and wanted to walk it off ๐
Stabby stabby goes the ski.
yea those things are damn sharp
A colleague of mine a few years ago severed 2 of the 3 arteries in the lower leg with his chainsaw. He was working out on the hill, dealt with it. Shoved his fingers in grabbed the arteries and squished them with his cutting gloves.
Needless to say that saved his life, while the rest of of the team took care of getting medical help of course ๐
To be allowed back onto commission land he had to retake his certificate, and wear only class 2 type c trousers. ]
ppl can survive some extreme shit... but also die from small stuff
Extreme? That's a peripheral injury.
Which if you know know means all round the leg padding, really thick heavy padding that loves sucking in all the sweat, all the rain..
the unreal engine docs dark theme mode doesn't work for me pain peko
had a show on tv here about some of those extreme cases... I remember when a doctor said: getting crushed between 2 killer whales is about as bad as trauma gets...
Any worse and it's just "cause of death".
guy in a show was riding a killer whale and the other jumped on him
so yea... Im prolly never gunna experience that
I wonder how many first draft death certificates had the cause of death as "Really? I can't even..."
natural causes
How did it even fit? And why did it cure so fast? I'll just put "heart attack" and move on...
Like doctors, death certificates are illegible.
only the embarassing ones
You can keep those abrupt.
Cause of death: "asphyxiation by artificial bolus"
...a bolus is in the bloodstream isn't it. I tried.
like "Asphixiation due to inadequate supply of spray paint, switched to huffing aerosolized cyanoacrylate. "
cause of death: he died
Maybe there's a requirement to rule out certain things for insurance, like self harm.
Is there insurance for killer whale collisions?
yea costs 2$ extra per year... im just taking the risk
Chainsaw gloves only protect one hand!?
Yeah, that's a ripoff, mine was a one-time fee of $200.
damn thats pretty cheap
It was bicycle insurance.
A one-time fee sounds more like extended warranty coverage.
also i got the zombie deluxe package... if i turn zombie they will put me in a nice room and feed me lifestock
damn i think i should actually sell zombie insurance... i bet i would make bank
But think of the liabilities for zombie housing.
The escape rate over time is close to 100%
i bet real estate becomes real cheap in case of zombie outbreak
think of the zombie clause in T&Cs in AWS or something else they provide
real thing btw - google can tell you more ๐ ๐
yea i know... thats why i know i can sell it a lot if it gets any traction
in case of zombie outbreak, surround your house with treadmills
Shelter on top of a merry-go-round
make em dance to pop music
Massive timber cutting sawblades on a long pole, lay it down over a pit and as they try to go over the blades, the blades will start spinning making them fall into the pit where they'd get sliced n diced as their kin kept climbing and falling and spinnin.. Zombie death pit of dooooom
Have it drain downhill. Zombies that survive get to climb back up and do it all over again.
Of course it depends on the zombies.
Undead zombies might just turn into a giant corpse blob of terror.
Problem: Corpse disposal during plague.
Solution: Hire a necromancer to make the corpses dig their own graves.
New problem: Zombie apocalypse during a plague.
Solution: Invent plague based social media to distract zombies.
so bored im making a random freaking map... lmfao
so sick of working with c++ ๐ฆ
10/10 would crash jet into regional atc tower
lmfao no idea what this is. just bored.
same
might as well watch tv and so something random i guess
noot going to lie tho.
Vigilante content looks great for free low poly models
anyone going to GDC?
hi
anime of the year go to cyberpunk edgerunners
yes

Windows drives me crazy. Why the hell do I need to tweak damn security settings for running my own game in my own machine ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
windows has an issue of the updater in my laptop
I was never able to solve it
I even asked their support and these people told me to repeat processes I already did dozens of times
this stupid windows is constantly downloading an update for the security intelligence software and it never installs, this machine is broken beause of that
makes me enraged, bill gates owes me money
he owes me and I am going to pretend it
i stopped using ms support after i read this.
they just post link that comes first in google search ๐
yes
in my case they got me to install a software for repairing windows
I bought it (28 euros)
and it fixed nothing
instead the youtube jeet told me much more info (but still never fixed the issue)
appeal of 3D is the unrealism, hence why unreal engine is called "unreal" because it surely mimicks realism but its mostly a marketing plot to expand unreal engine into architecture visualization and other lucrative fields... A good game with appealing visuals is medievil from ps1, the success is mostly caused by the color choices that we dont know for sure if were accidental of work of art, but in any case it did work... so I think you could start by thinking of a color scheme, or an atmosphere. As for models, low or high, I would go high poly due to my own preference, but I have seen some people being able to bring variety in the boring and totally uninspired field of low poly modeling, so it really boils down to how you do it rather than a general rule. I think with some creativity even lower poly models would bring a good result for a game
I think the best idea is to get a good art director or lead artist and guide everything so it's consistent and visually appealing no matter the art style
I like high poly visuals even if the textures are shit tbh
and I was thinking wtf was wrong with my includes 
And itโs Reddit ๐
exactly!
Try #include "Chaos/AANN.h"
1 - They fit with the theme and keep a consistent style. Its the reason even bare bones pixel art 3d, or PSX style games can look appealing, while photorealism can. Consistency is needed.
2 - High poly visuals aren't really used that much in games. but if you're talking low poly, as in the sort of blocky stylized look, then certainly that, over realism.
3 - Responsiveness. Animations must feel responsive. Slow robotic movements for a human character doesn't really work well. It needs to feel natural
4 - Contrast. Sci fi always has heavy contrast against somewhat unseen geometric shapes. Think tunnels that are trapezoidal. Abnormally crisp, clean glossy white walls, with very angular neon inlighting.
5- For SciFi? Alien Isloation for sure. It really nailed that one. Seconded by Subnautica. Just in General? Games like The Last of Us 2, and Dying Light 2 really do well at making vibrant environments
Alyx is hl3
I got an even better idea, lets fire the art directors and I do it myself because I am better
my advice is to acquire 2 important skills: dunning kruger and schizophrenia
when you have a mix of dunning kruger and skizophrenia you will be unstoppable
bye
which art director fired you?
nobody
I just dont like people that touch my stuff
I mean, I dont learn to create assets so that a pretentious guy comes and uses them while I dont get to have an opinion, no way. I will learn unreal and do it myself
these "art directors" are really pretentious if you ask me. To them I tell "do your own stuff and stop robbing", I will not be your slave and I am more creative than you are
I had an art director that had a theater set dressing background...we didn't get along very well
my great aunt does alot of theatre stuff, she manages the productions
SO sick of this. we need a select-all button.
700 meshes and some of them i dont want i dont want to do this all manually ๐ฆ ( yes i can just delete them and select all textures and meshes. but that crashes.)

Does anyone have a ChatGPT Plus account? If so, can you please ask it what version of Blender it is familiar with? Regular free ChatGPT stops at 2.93.5 which has too many things that do not match 3.3.1
Hmm.. how do i find some dudes to carry each other through this "unreal learning curve"?
Just browsing 1000 comments on Introductions?
It's all the same model, just that ChatGPT Plus is faster to respond.
Ok. thanks
If you could ask it what version it supports, i would appreciate it
The model was only trained up until like 2021
I understand the Public model is 2021, but it keeps hinting the the Plus model probably has newer information. Hoping to see which Blender version it reports, as that is a super quick way to tell, and pertinent to me
