#

it's a kids show thing

#

ancient ingot
#

ill ask her tonight

pearl elk
#

just remember not to put the pet spider in with the pet rabbit

ancient ingot
#

lol but its ok to sleep with the cat right?

pearl elk
#

I dont think the cat is sleeping

ancient ingot
#

😂

proud jay
#

cat is always watching you

#

I give it 3 days before your daughter accidentally eats the spider

ancient ingot
#

how can you accidentally eat a fucking Tarantula? lol

proud jay
#

kids do strange things

#

some even stranger things

ancient ingot
#

i give it a week until it only has 6 legs

pearl elk
#

it accidently walked into the microwave

ancient ingot
#

they go pop in the microwave... jus saying....

proud jay
#

can the spider hold like 8 teacups at once at the tea party?

pearl elk
#

tasty wheat

ancient ingot
#

according to the news (so it must be true) Putin is going to nuke us

proud jay
#

gg

#

at least you had a spider before dying

ancient ingot
#

lol

#

i mean you help a friend in trouble and next thing you know its nulear winter 😦

pearl elk
#

oh no... shes going to call the spider Tom isnt she

ancient ingot
#

no way !

ancient ingot
#

so i just called islas mum and told her isla wants a Tarantula

#

the swear words were many

proud jay
#

are you still together?

#

if not, who cares

#

just keep it at your house

#

if you are

#

well time to let isla do the convincing

#

have you told her spiders are cute though

pearl elk
#

accidently let it escape from her bag into her mums house 😛

ancient ingot
ancient ingot
proud jay
#

see you could've just bought the spoder

#

you made the mistake of informing her

ancient ingot
#

😭

pearl elk
#

This is why you dont give your daughters internet access

ancient ingot
#

have you tried raising a 9 year old with no internet access lol

pearl elk
#

I raised myself at 9 with no internet access

#

to be fair I had so many books on my bed at night I actually cut off the circulation to my legs and couldnt walk the next day

ancient ingot
#

dam dude lol

pearl elk
#

those non-fiction books man, chunky

proud jay
ancient ingot
#

there are laws about keeping children in basements Dieter lol

proud jay
#

first you call your ex to tell you you're buying a spider

#

now calling the cops to tell them you're kidnapping your own daughter

#

at some point you're just your own problem

ancient ingot

fuck....

proud jay

I've got some British Gas people coming round to fit a smart meter today. But we never asked for it. So when they turn up I get to be all "no warrant, no entry" and see what happens

#

No Mons. Still rifling through the tutorials and trying to soak up as much as I can before I do anything.

pearl elk
#

Isnt this what your kids are for?

ancient ingot
#

40% for what?

pearl elk
#

us boomers use the chunky monkey engine

fathom wadi
#

Not even sure if it's worth doing much right now. Got another game idea but I need to use lyra for that. I like the way they set up this system for modularity tho. It's pretty cool.

cursive crypt
#

Huh, and how is the experience so far from uefn?

ancient ingot
unreal ether
fathom wadi
#

it's like using some gamemaker tool or whatever. When you know unreal its hard to find common things missing, but then it makes up for it with systems you can hook into each other to make new systems. Or write a custom verse one. It's not much different that using the Fortnite creative mode tho. It's just the same but in Unreal with the ability to make some custom assets.

pearl elk
#

I prefer smart meters to smart inches

fathom wadi
ancient ingot
#

the AI is fine the rest of it is a clusterfuck though

pearl elk
#

you mean you didnt name your AI Lyra?

unreal ether
#

LyrAI

fathom wadi
#

The more I think about the systems in Lyra the more I want to use it. But I also want to freeform my code like a lazy smelly bedroom coder.

cursive crypt
pearl elk
#

I think focusing on the code you need to make your game work is more important than having a pretty code structure

cursive crypt
#

That what UE been doing since the beginning I guess. Look at that mess.

pearl elk
#

Look at ID, they open sourced their engines for awhile there but they actually never reused them between games

fathom wadi
pearl elk
#

I have to disagree, Lyra is not clean and only adds needless complexity. Dont get me wrong, the new game features plugin etc are awesome but Lyra doesnt make a clear enough distinction between game code and framework, you cant just copy the framework without taking the entire game with it

#

Defeating the purpose of having the modularity to begin with

fathom wadi
#

I don't understand tho. When you make anything with it you are just adding a gameplay ability plugin to the framework without touching any of it. Except perhaps setting up a few data asset things

pearl elk
#

Thats what I find happens with most projects, is the game is too interconnected to pull it apart. This is fine and modularity usually comes from packages which connect with the game since the game and framework are so heavily tied together... eg Unreal, UT, Fortnite etc

zinc matrix
#

any good course in animation you recommend?

pearl elk
# fathom wadi I don't understand tho. When you make anything with it you are just adding a ga...

Your gameplay abilities wont work with my projects, thats kinda what Im saying. Theres no point spending extra time trying to write code which can be decoupled unless it benefits your project directly and thats why Lyra has some base code which cannot be removed because its core to that game versus a framework like GAS which you can decouple from UE entirely if you dont need to use it.

ancient ingot
#

I like Lyra, but as a complete dunce, its useless to me.

pearl elk
#

If the core of your game doesnt match the core of Lyras then youre just adding stuff to your project you dont need and even creating more work for yourself in having to try to decouple them

#

As an RTS project Im better off just rewriting the boilerplate as much as a pain in the arse that is. The real issue is that Epic hasnt automated the boilerplate enough, not that we needed to be spoon fed

ancient ingot
#

i like being spoonfed by a hot blonde ........

fathom wadi
#

not a slightly warm blonde?

ancient ingot
#

nope she has to be smokin hot 😉

pearl elk
#

Thats why modding is so attractive though, its easy just to just use whats already there and build it up. I dont blame you for checking out Fortnite, no need to write boilerplate at all

fathom wadi
#

only checking it out for the kids really. I think it's a good way to get them into Unreal as they know creative mode already. But I know they will want some custom things because thats the benefit. Like making a new niagara system that lets you poop. Funny things like that

zinc matrix
#

I am more into animation

#

I have to git gud in animation

ancient ingot
#

i cant animate a paper bag lol

zinc matrix
#

all it takes is to watch all the youtube tutorials that exist

#

and then also read all the amazon books

#

and make animations every day for months

ancient ingot
#

yeah that wont happen, im to busy working on everything else in my project

zinc matrix
#

damn

#

I think animation is one of those core skills...

#

unless you find a way to have cheats, like I saw some softwares that cheat it

pearl elk
#

I can animate a paper bag filled with poop thats on fire

zinc matrix
#

there is a software named iclone that somehow cheats

#

but I still want to git gud

#

to animate bags I think just do a simulation

ancient ingot
#

iClone is expensive

zinc matrix
#

yesterday I made this animation watching a youtube tutorial, but I will do it again. And then improve

ancient ingot
#

you are how old ?

zinc matrix
#

im 30

#

but I got into 3d quite recently

#

with the newer blender release I picked 3D again

#

previously I was thinking it was just boring and unintuitive

pearl elk
#

wow how old... just kidding

zinc matrix
#

Yes I am quite new to blender and 3D

#

some people started a decade ago

#

i made 3 2D games now I am on 3D

#

my choice is unreal engine

#

because why not

#

i could have picked unity because its also interesting but uneral engine ws somehow looking even better

pearl elk
#

Because Unreal Engine is the best engine fathomable

zinc matrix
#

in any case I got some troubles animating so now I am not learning unreal engin

#

Instead I learn animation

#

and then I approach unreal but I start with some courses I found online on materials

#

the material system is very cool and looks better than the one on blneder

#

and then maybe I take some courses on cpp one of those that make you develop an app

#

and then... who knows maybe I get into blueprints and cpp for unreal

cursive crypt
pearl elk
#

I dunno, Blender has some pretty good tools but its not really suited to real-time rendering right?

zinc matrix
#

I got into unreal because I realized that my animation will take 24 hours to render

#

now I am stuck on cycles (blender rendering) because I created all materials for cycles

#

but next time I can use unreal instead

zinc matrix
#

no jokes I enroll into univeristy more than 1 time

#

but no college, I am not american

pearl elk
#

college isnt that where you glue a heap of pictures over the top of each other

cursive crypt
#

I'm from planet Earth myself

zinc matrix
#

i dont have a college

#

if I go univerisity theres just a library and some lessons

#

no football camp, no party, no nothing, just lessons, you talk with teachers, thats about all

#

you can enroll, select option "do you work, Y-N" if you work they dont request you to follow lessons

#

so I can just go there give exam, disappear

zinc matrix
#

honestly there was never a point to follow lessons, but yes maybe one day you have nothing to do

#

its more to show your presence and get to know the teacher

#

but you can just ask some students and they tell you all you have to know about the teacher

ancient ingot
#

how long have you been doing 3D modeling ?

cursive crypt
#

Since 1D modelling

ancient ingot
#

😂

pearl elk
#

I used to have to model 0.5D uphill in both directions

ancient ingot
#

omgz

zinc matrix
#

I took a while to get into animation because first I had to follow courses on rigging (still I am not uber expert)

#

and also, if you notice, in 3D one issue leads to another one

#

so you may start with 1 idea, and it can be very vague because you are beginner, but then you realize "oh wait I also need this and that"

#

and the 2 other things you needed create other necessities

#

so for example theres my brother that keeps asking why I havent finished my game yet

#

I didnt even started

#

because there is animation to learn

#

and you dont learn animation in 1 day

proud jay
#

are you making an MMORPG though

zinc matrix
#

I can make a clone of super mario in 1 week and 1 day if its 2D

#

maybe I will do one just for training purpose

#

anyway, now I am all about animation improving

#

once you are decent into animation its all another learning curve and you should be OK

cursive crypt

# cursive crypt Unreal

im thinking of seeing behavoir tree editor folder later but before that im thinking maybe someone have thrown out everything related to ai and just the graph for it

#

its too big for me to figure out how everything connected together so thats why im thinking does anyone in the past have thought this and make it open source on github maybe

zinc matrix

maybe I open a patreon, I tell you how much i collected at the end

cursive crypt

/shrug I can't understand both of you

zinc matrix

my idea was this one: I create an animation. then I finish it. I tell you that I need a 4090 to make it better and higher resolution. If you want it then you help fund my 4090

should be a decent deal. I get to have a 4090

calibrating my monitor with just RGB sliders makes me sad

#

I wish hardware LUT was a thing in all monitors 😄

cursive crypt
#

Isn't what the color profiles are for?

#

They support even varying types of LUTs

zinc matrix
#

i leave it defalt

fluid bloom
#

@cursive crypt I think apps in exclusive full screen completely disregard OS level color calibration

cursive crypt
#

HmmmMMMMMMMmmmm...................

#

I certainly hope not.

#

In fact... I don't think so 🤔

#

Because, I have been watching tons of monitor calibrations when I buy my monitors.

#

And most reviewers run also games as part of the benchmarking.

#

That is, before and after calibration.

#

However, I can't be 100% sure. As usual with computers 🙂

cursive crypt
#

as I said, never can be sure. Maybe this changed, maybe they ran games on fake fullscreen, maybe they wrong ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

I'm kinda lazy to test this out.

#

For example, the AMD gpu app can tune up colors per game.

#

Oh... there is a driver update 🤞

fluid bloom
#

I suppose driver level stuff is the lowest possible software level before hardware calibration on monitor

cursive crypt
#

Aye, there is always another level of to intrude on.
You can put and color filter on your display 😛

#

I wonder when the monitors will have totally generic interface.

#

On user level

#

Like logging on your monitor and tuning up some settings. Bet many run Linux actually.

fluid bloom
#

okay at least nvidia control panel adjustments seem to work

#

in full screen games

zinc matrix
#

blender 3.5 has realtime compositor

#

do you think it looks like the unreal postprocess volume?

#

I think they kinda do the same thing, is it a fair comparison?

homeschooled our daughter for her GCSE years during COVID. So we only did english, math, some basic science and then let her choose what she wanted to learn. She picked photoshop and art. So she just won Student of the year at her college. And people say homeschooling is for slackers ¬_¬

zinc matrix
#

well done

#

I think homeschooling became interesting for many people

#

also there are lots of option for cheap private schools I saw some only 5000 a year

#

I think 5000 a year is affordable, may be another option

#

if you think about it thats the price of an entire course of university including books (if its public university in EU), could be a good option for many people

cursive crypt
#

GCSE ?

unborn lotus
#

my dad forced us to homeschool math and algebra even though we did it at normal school too...end result I dislike those now

unreal ether
#

You get em when you're 16

#

Typically move on to a levels til 18

zinc matrix
#

I was forced to learn the piano and do latin and greek, but end result is that I hate piano and I hate latin and greek

#

but it had more to do with the pressure I was receiving rather than homeschooling

#

lately I started to take lessons in music so I really have nothing against piano... just happened that people forced me to learn it

cursive crypt
#

Latest was Eigenvectors and values. Very interesting.

zinc matrix
#

it happens very often, people get forced to do something, they hate it... but Homeschooling with a combo of online learning makes lots of sense

unborn lotus
zinc matrix
#

and in any case with parenting you never get it right despite best intentions... I did it for a while and I ended up with mild success

#

but its all random, you can put all the best intentions and do really your best you will screw up anyway

unborn lotus
zinc matrix
#

I would not plan too much because you cannot predict future, we deal with humans and we also do errors. Thats about all

#

to be honest I dont hate latin, only greek... because latin was something I was very good at, but I never really placed the emphasis that was demanded to me, the education was quite strict and I never took it seriously

#

if you dont put the discipline somebody else will do it instead of you, so I am not against that discipline, simply that I am not the type that can be placed under it...

celest musk
#

i think home schooling can yield way better results than any public school if the parents aren't total morons (and if they can afford to spend the required time)

fathom wadi
#

yeah we likely wouldn't have done it if not for covid. Not to mention with their personal interests being in computers I had it covered. Even learned Blender to teach them how to use it. Still learning things to help them. Like UEFN currently. They all excel in the english, maths and sciences and that's all the grounding needed. The rest is just letting them flavour their own life with things they want to do.

are some schools starting or ending, or why ive seen these polls/questions multiple times on every server in past couple days?

unreal ether
#

Universities are coming to the end of the second semester so I imagine a lot of students putting a bit more time into devving

#

Alternatively it could be for an assignment due

zinc matrix
#

okay, it makes sense. they come in waves every time 🙂

#

everytime I want to play fortnite I get 15gb of updates

#

then I am pissed off, dont play it... I open it again after a month: another load of 15gb of contents

#

and again and agian

#

So I got to play it only 1 time.

#

literally only 1 time

#

you developers should really consider the idea of not forcing people to download 15gb of contents

#

I agree that any expansions should be optional D/Ls and am incorporating that concept in to my projects

great great

if its a bugfix it can maybe be a bunch of megabytes

zinc matrix
#

I would prefer to not have it thanks

mental pecan
zinc matrix
#

unfortunately not

#

because once you launch it it starts updating, at least in my case

mental pecan
#

it is, there is original fortnite game

zinc matrix
#

because I only have the epic game launcher

#

i had steam a while ago

#

I could also use ssteam I suppose they will have fortnite there

#

still ouch

mental pecan
#

well, i only pay 8$ for it

primal summit
#

$35

#

rural southwest in the mountains

mental pecan
#

mid europe

#

if i can say that

#

5mb actually good speed, i can download full ark overnight, if ill buy another big drive

primal summit
#

southwest US, your $ lead me to believe you were US, AU, or CA

mental pecan
#

well, if i would say my currency u would not understand as ez, so equivalent here

primal summit
#

mid europe, but not using the euro, so former warsaw pact country?

#

or greece

#

no need to answer, just a guess

celest musk
#

for Ark you download most stuff because other players can bring it to every map, also the server can have rules to spawn things from other DLCs

#

so you actually NEED them to play without issues

#

and yea, the actual DLC is probably just the map

mental pecan
#

so yea, dlc is basically just and only maps

#

exept phoenix mb

celest musk
#

but can you unlock the stuff on the new map?

mental pecan
#

yes ofc

celest musk
#

ah okay, on other maps it was limited to the DLC Map iirc

mental pecan
#

CI or Valg contanins all engrams from all previous maps, and fjordur contains all engrams, if im not mistaken tekgrams u can learn there aswell

#

so no scourch needed to learn whip or flamethrower

celest musk
#

the worst map ever 😄

mental pecan
#

hahaha, i once spend quite some time to tame phoenix

celest musk
#

yea same

#

on the edge of the map

mental pecan
#

he was same color as with one in main dlc page

celest musk
#

where those worms spawn

#

also i quite remember that as torture

mental pecan
#

💀

celest musk
#

probably the worst tame ever

#

for a pretty useless birb

mental pecan
#

i spend week of not playing game or doing something useful, was just sitting looking at jebroa and watching youtube on phone

celest musk
#

i hope so much that they don't f*** up ark2...

mental pecan
#

not literal week

#

it will be different game for sure

celest musk
#

you think it won't have that open world survival stuff and only story?

mental pecan
#

i dont see sense in ark2 be same as ark1, caz ark1 is buggy, but beloved

celest musk
#

ark2 will be so buggy for sure

mental pecan
#

hahaha, for sure

celest musk
#

that's quite to be expected if they stay with unreal and keep their attitude 😄

mental pecan
#

atleast their game is funny and cool

#

i can respect that

#

unlike some companies

celest musk
#

but even with all the bugs, ark is probably one of the games i spent most time with

#

and for what it is, i don't know a game which does it better

mental pecan
#

i like how different game can be played, just remove ability to fly like you usially can

#

aberration my fav map, even tho i crash on it so hard and in so many bad situations that it will be enough to write full book about it

celest musk
#

crash? like game crash?

mental pecan
celest musk
#

you don't play on linux, do you?

mental pecan
#

no

celest musk
#

ok, because that map is completely bugged there and crashs the game

mental pecan
#

it crashes game anyway🥲

celest musk
#

which really pissed me off, since wildcard promotes linux support, and is aware of that bug for years

#

might be some material/shader which under some circumstances gets used

mental pecan
#

dk, never used linux, cant say

#

but other maps dont break so often

celest musk
#

ended up playing the windows version then -.-

mental pecan
#

windows cool

celest musk
#

don't stop there if you delete things 😄

tulip orbit
#

wtf. from a Name/Integer map, I get keys array, do a for loop of the keys and do a find, and it doesnt find the key

#

Why do bugs always gotta show up just before I have to leave for work?

pearl elk
#

huh, your code is faulty

#

why are you finding from the array youre looping through, did you want a get value?

tulip orbit
#

Apparently. It seems like all the data isnt being passed from the main widget to sub widgets for some reason

#

tried inspecting values on the arrays, and info is missing

#

but now I have to goto work 😠

pearl elk
#

you definitely want a getter not find because youre going through the map multiple times

#

find will always be true, it wouldnt iterate over the key otherwise

tulip orbit
#

find is returning false tho

#

from the keys array.

pearl elk
#

you dont need it

#

get the value from the index

tulip orbit
#

something like this?

pearl elk
#

you shouldnt have to loop over values because youre looping over keys

#

that could work but I dunno whats up with that array conversion

tulip orbit
#

only way in BP to get the value is by using find, atleast in BP

#

but I really do have to goto work now 😦

pearl elk
#

Yeah this seems like an odd way to go about it, if it were a multimap it would make sense but this is a tmap

#

maybe a library function is in order, or I could just mixin the tmap 😛

tulip orbit
#

keys->find is how I always iterate through my maps

#

and it still seems that information is missing in the struct I'm pulling from, atleast once the widget is opened

pearl elk
#

Maybe Im just stuck in python land atm where iterating through key/value pairs is breezy

tulip orbit
#

I will have to look into this more tomorrow 😦

#

my lunch for work is ready, now I have to leave for reals soon 😦

celest musk
#

find should be fast enough in most use cases

#

sure you can cache the key and value array and then iterate over that, but my guess is that it won't make much of a performance difference

pearl elk
#

You shouldnt have to, cant you iterate over keys directly and just get a reference to the values

#

no need to cache anything, its just a waste of memory

#

rest of the junk is just cuz someone was too lazy to update the for node properly

cursive crypt
#

Use FindFast

tulip orbit
#

Performance isnt an issue, or memory, cause its tiny and this is an editor utility widget, so in editor.

#

In BPs, the only way i know of to iterate, or get values from a Map, is the way i showed in the pic

#

When i get home, ill put on some breakpoints, and see whats going on. The map in question is in a subwidget, and when i was inspecting it, data was missing. Even tho i was still getting a key array of everything that should be there

cursive crypt
#

You can always put a Breakpoint too

pearl elk
#

Yeah its super odd because you should be getting values, being an int value its auto-initialised. I think writing a small library function to run through it in C++ might be the go because I dont entirely trust hacky BP solutions by Epic 😛

#

I might recommend just recreating the nodes again, I have had issues where a node becomes bugged for whatever reason

cursive crypt
#

the answer is always hash table

Add some chairs too and you get a nice place.

proud jay

this isn't Unity

zinc matrix

yes I get some docs from 4.2 but I suppose not a big issue, I was talking about the video contents that introduce people... all stuff that is mega ultra clear

are you doing bp, cpp, or maybe just uefn?

what dieter got dietered? 😛

#

just think though rather than AI just being a layer if they were an actual actor in the world helping you like a friend would

#

far better in terms of service, its not just a robot, it would have animation and eye contact, all the things which help with interaction

soft night
#

have you watch omniverse ace?

pearl elk
#

Monsiverse you mean 😛

#

But yeah that sort of thing just without humans on the end driving it, it can be completely AI driven to give the impression youre talking to a person. It'll be sooo good, dont like your AI friend, delete them and start again 😂

wow animation is more difficult than I thought, I am going back to the bouncing ball because I need to revisit some concepts I gave for granted

ancient ingot

I made only 2 bouncing balls exercizes and I said "ok done, next step"

ancient ingot

I was just there thinking "ok I done this hekkin bouncing ball, next step"

no one likes animation

zinc matrix
#

not so quick... I got it wrong, I need to come back and do more bouncing balls

proud jay
#

animators are just in denial

zinc matrix
#

I dont like it either, I just feel like this is the final boss

#

took me a while to get into it because I didnt have anything to animate other than a bouncing ball but I did finish courses and I animated a scene... I suppose its just mega easy if you just have to animate a gun

#

or a sene

just steal things from mixamo and don't look back 😎

zinc matrix

I can animate a scene no issues, but obvsly theres more

#

I did a test with cascadeur

and it worked

#

maybe I can show you.... I created a rig, with an intermediate layer that is an exact clone of the caascadeur rig, and then retargeting with rokoko addon is a matter of just selecting bones that gets retargeted like nothing... since the rig is a clone

#

I dont have any one of the issues that youtubers have, literally zero of them, because I have this layer that is a clone, so it works flawlessly

Aye, as with gachas, they rely on whales i.e. ppl with money who are ready to pay. Either as investment or ego boost.

#

Also, I call that just a regular "purchase"

#

I mean, what is before purchase? Nothing.

Italy has become the first Western country to block advanced chatbot ChatGPT.

The Italian data-protection authority said there were privacy concerns relating to the model, which was created by US start-up OpenAI and is backed by Microsoft.

also where is Dieter, i need coffee!

cursive crypt

Is about kids running wild

ancient ingot
#

crazy eh

#

The world has gone mad, im off to the moon to live

cursive crypt
#

Nah, no coffee there for you

ancient ingot
#

omg good point, what will i do? i gave up smoking, i'm not giving up my coffee !!!

cursive crypt
#

Become alcoholic?

ancient ingot
#

i dont drink

#

like.. ever

I wonder when Moon will get populated.

ancient ingot
#

tbh i dont think it ever will, we had our chance in 69 to get some shit done up there, and they stopped going

cursive crypt
#

A bit dangerous too, so many craters.

ancient ingot
#

ye people need to stop and ask themselves why the far side of the moon is so full of craters, the moon is our little brother, in the way that jupiter is our big brother, they stop us getting hit by shit! lol

Nasa will use Starship as the new moon lander

energy equivalent to 6,000,000 megatons of TNT (600 times the world's nuclear arsenal).

yup

The average size of the asteroids that hit the Moon varies widely. Most of the asteroids that impact the Moon are small, typically less than a meter in size. However, larger asteroids can cause significant damage. For example, in 2013, a 20-meter-wide asteroid struck the Moon, producing the brightest lunar impact ever recorded.

A human moon base would be vulnerable to the impacts of asteroids, especially larger ones. Even small asteroids could potentially cause significant damage to infrastructure, such as solar panels or living quarters. NASA and other space agencies have plans in place to mitigate the risk of asteroid impacts on the Moon, such as mapping the lunar surface to identify potential impact sites and developing technologies to deflect incoming asteroids.```

With gf we are binging some pop science series, so I'm up to a speed here.

ancient ingot
#

i had to do a bit of this as part of my physical sciences degree 😡

#

yeah, its surprising, BUT, it wont get hit by massive tens of KM size ones, jupiter sucks those up, it gets hit by the ones that pass jupiter

This reminded me of one crazy game, Advent Rising. The antagonists there were misjudged as "just throwing rocks", turns out, they threw really big rocks and obliterated the whole planet.

#

this is interesting....

#

Energy (kilotons) = (0.5 x Mass of Asteroid x Velocity^2) / 4.184 x 10^12

In this equation, the mass of the asteroid is measured in kilograms, and the velocity is measured in meters per second. The result will be in kilotons, which is a unit of energy equivalent to the explosive force of 1,000 tons of TNT. It's worth noting that this equation provides an estimate of the energy released by the impact, and there may be additional factors that could affect the total impact energy, such as the angle of impact and the composition of the asteroid.```
#

10^12 ffs ... thats nuts !

cursive crypt
#

It is the famous Newton, F = ma but with some conversion to TNT

ancient ingot
#

yeps

cursive crypt
#

Frankly, I have no idea what is a kiloton TNT

#

Kinda stupid measure

#

Who throws TNT around on regular basis? Few ppl.

#

On other hand, everyone eats food. Measure in kcal or J.

#

So this should be equivalent of 1000 tons of bananas or something

ancient ingot
#

lol its meant to be a recogniseable unit of measurement but during the time the first nuclear bombs were being developed.

lol, fokin Microsoft
Their weather app started to show the prognose like it is yesterday i.e. the actual one is a day ahead.

#

Not to mention it took them months to fix it showing always Fahrenheit despite all the system and app settings.

Need an advice,
What do you politely say to someone who pirated an old version of your product and then complain that it doesn't work like the latest version shown?
I'm kinda speechless here.

ancient ingot
#

Tell them to politely go fuck themselves 🙂

cursive crypt
#

Well, they do not want to support you, so why should you?

#

Sometimes tho, pirating is an advertisement tactic too. Looking at Adobe/Autodesk here.

cursive crypt
#

They don't chase small fishes. They benefit of their products being used as much as possible anyway.

Quick! Go subscribe to Maya, haha
