[sweet rose]

Hey guys

I drew a hand

Can you guys please tell me if it looks proportional, has good depth, etc.? rate /10 if possible 🙂

[unreal ether]

The arm hairs are amazingly realistic

Other than the end of the middle finger looking slightly crooked (which might just be my eyes :P)

It's amazing

[sweet rose]

Thank you, the ring finger is kept slightly below the middle finger in like a 3D sense

[unreal ether]

I get that, but the tip of the middle finger is curved in a way a finger can't curve imo

Like it doesn't bend at the joint, more of an extremely slight banana shape

The shading is impeccable

[sweet rose]

this part?

[broken sigil]

like 8, it's really good
Fingers look a tiny bit weird, only thing that sticks out to me

[unreal ether]

It's curved, and fingers don't do that, is what I mean

Other than that it's pretty flawless

[sweet rose]

Thanks guys, I'm submitting it for my college application tomorrow 🙂

[sweet rose]

I guess you're right

i am too scared to use the eraser now 🤣

it's physical

[unreal ether]

honestly, I probably wouldn't bother

to say you aren't even in college that is some immense skill

[sweet rose]

Thank you very much, I got rejected last time so I upped my game, do you mind looking at some of my digital paintings if I post them here?

[unreal ether]

sure thing, but i'm by no means an art expert :P

[sweet rose]

the digital painting is what they really focus on

still finishing up on this one

[unreal ether]

ngl that second one straight up looks like a toon shader render in unreal

[unreal ether]

pretty damn impressive

those are beautiful

[sweet rose]

Thanks brother, fingers crossed for tomorrow

[unreal ether]

wishing you all the best

i'd be genuinely shocked if you got rejected

[sweet rose]

Same, this time I put in a lot of effort

[celest musk]

how do they know that the participants didn't use AI? :>

[sweet rose]

i think they might risk disqualification so people probably wouldn't try that

[zinc matrix]

is Lost Planet a game with the same vein as Gears?

[tulip orbit]

😮 you have money?

[fleet tangle]

It's what happens when you do things because you're told to!

[cursive crypt]

Wait your card to expire.

[proud jay]

I think legally speaking if the reason they can't get your money is because of expired card, they can still chase you for the amount if they really want though

[cursive crypt]

[proven furnace]

Hii everyone,
Just wondering what is a software architect for game development called?

[cursive crypt]

The dude next to the coffee machine.

[ancient ingot]

lol

[cursive crypt]

The game industry barely starts to acquire some sw processes.
Sw architect does not exist there usually.

[proud jay]

not in specific title probably

software architect is also a vaguely defined position in general often

[fleet tangle]

Game designer?

[mossy nexus]

@worldly mesa The joys of "what's the best way to.." "No my way is best"

[worldly mesa]

lol, indeed 🙂

[proud jay]

game designer is like gameplay wise decisions, while a software architect would be making more technical desicions

technical director maybe?

[fleet tangle]

Maybe.

[proud jay]

I used to sell vacuums, but that really sucked

[ancient ingot]

🤣

[fleet tangle]

I had a similar experience with fan sales. They really blew.

[ancient ingot]

The issue of photo manipulation on social media has long been a concern for many, but with the technology now increasingly extending to videos, should authorities intervene?

😡

[proud jay]

step 1

don't use social media

done

[ancient ingot]

🤣

[unborn lotus]

but discord is social media

[fleet tangle]

Do you see a lot of ai generated videos on discord trying to push political or fake news agendas?

[cursive crypt]

Earth is flat, just look at Google Maps.

[fleet tangle]

They made it flat with ai.

[proud jay]

google airth

[ancient ingot]

since when was photoshop now a 7 day only trial, and £20 a month after that ? 😮

[fleet tangle]

It's been subscription based for many years.

[ancient ingot]

i know its sub based, but i never used to pay £20 a month

[carmine frigate]

I use krita

[fleet tangle]

Maybe not.

I use gimp. Or paint.

[carmine frigate]

used gimp at first, but i like krita better

[fleet tangle]

I used to use paintshop pro pretty effectively until adobe bought our jasc and killed it.

[carmine frigate]

corel draw\

[ancient ingot]

hmm i never thought of krita, is it ok for simple people like me? 😄

[carmine frigate]

yea its great

can also install it on android pad

[ancient ingot]

oki will give it a go, i dont use photoshop style apps for much just changing a colour or better resizing etc

[fleet tangle]

I'd love something like photoshop or gimp that just wasn't as powerful. Something in between them and paint.

[unreal ether]

Photopea fills that gap for me

[fleet tangle]

Oh cool. I shall have a look, thanks!

Often times I have to do "programmer art" for greyboxing sort of stuff and it's nice to have it look at least a little nice.

[unreal ether]

Yeah. It's great for that. It's also not bad at vector stuff

It's basically browser based photoshop

[fleet tangle]

I do like 25x25 pixel icons in gimp with the 1 pixel brush usually. That's my level lol. Or gradient fills!

[unreal ether]

It's missing some stuff, but most of the stuff I care for is there

[fleet tangle]

Sometimes I want to use alpha channels.

[proud jay]

I use a very legal copy of PS 2018

[unreal ether]

Yeah you can do all that

[fleet tangle]

Nice.

I'd do it in paint, but it's like 1 level below what's needed.

[unreal ether]

Masking, filter libraries, vector graphics, it's not bad.

[fleet tangle]

Nice

Good file type support?

[unreal ether]

I had one of those but then it stopped working smh.

Although at some point I might have to bite the bullet and buy the creative cloud because I can't get used to not having illustrator

[unreal ether]

Yep

Hell if you have old PSD files, it will read them, and save as them

[fleet tangle]

Isn't there some other tool that's illustrator-like enough?

[unreal ether]

I've not found many. While photopea has some of it, it isn't all there sadly.

And many of the other alternatives I've found, just aren't as comfortable to use

[fleet tangle]

Fair dos.

[proud jay]

fair tres

[fleet tangle]

I guess that's something adobe has going for it. It's not only good, it's been the industry standard forever so anything else feels alien.

[unreal ether]

Yeah. They really do have an Autodesk-esque monopoly in that regard

[cursive crypt]

It is about money.

[sweet rose]

@unreal ether finished version, (I guess 😂 ) I can still update before the professors look at it

[fathom wadi]

yeah seen a few of those vids as I like a bit of drum n bass.

[ancient ingot]

ewww

Techno dude Techno

[fathom wadi]

nah techno is ok... but drum n bass is where it's at. This sounds like the vibration of inhaling glue. Drum n bass throws jazz into the mix and has some melody and not just a static beat with some random Roland 303 auto generated stuff over it.

best thing about music though it's the subjective nature of it. So enjoy what you love.

[carmine frigate]

where is Dieter?

used to go to a bunch of techno /bigroom/goa parties.. also had some friends that liked hardcore a lot so did some of that too

[ancient ingot]

Dieter is definitely on one of those bikes 🤣

[carmine frigate]

prolly a segway or some shit

[ancient ingot]

🤣

[fathom wadi]

speaking of segways... ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Comway Twitty.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2aeRg_yMSE

[carmine frigate]

wasnt a big fan of hardcore myself, but shockers and masters of hardcore parties were pretty fun

[fathom wadi]

I wouldn't think Bloober team need a template. Certainly not after seeing LoF 1 & 2.

the game style is very much like the scene a template does tho. Just walking around and not having much action. Mostly it's investigative walking sim based. Especially driven by tropes that the horror template stuff uses too because its so common. Especially the whole "Remember P.T.?" nostalgia hit.

yeah I was super impressed with what they did with LoF. I don't normally appreciate horror games because they are cheap with their jump scares and such. But it really had the right vibe psychologically.

[carmine frigate]

I really liked F.E.A.R project origin, didnt really play the other fears

i played the fear after origin but stopped pretty fast 🙂

@median wraith happy Bday 🙂

[median wraith]

defuk

[median wraith]

Thank you man

[celest musk]

xD

[median wraith]

Happy bday to you too

[celest musk]

happy birthday i guess

[carmine frigate]

np man... i seen ur latest twitch stream, it was pretty good

[median wraith]

Mine ?

[carmine frigate]

yea

[median wraith]

In the last stream I was were on ghost of tabor and they wasn't named me

on epic channel

[carmine frigate]

yea

it was great

[median wraith]

how you know

[carmine frigate]

im a hevedy superfan 🙂

[median wraith]

I wish those streams were more technicals tbh

so people can learn

[median wraith]

welp that is awesome, ty man!

so hows everything doing here ?

[median wraith]

lol ty

[carmine frigate]

yea, i wanted to buy merch with ur face on it but couldnt find any

a hevedy coffee mug

[median wraith]

my face were in that game actually

someone placed a box of me there

[carmine frigate]

owww, screenshot

[celest musk]

sounds like something that owninator would do

backside of the skydome has your face

[median wraith]

idk if there is maybe some recorded video or so

[carmine frigate]

lol

mayB im his boss and he doesnt know

[median wraith]

That would surprise

👀

[carmine frigate]

im not

thats something a boss would say tho

[median wraith]

Like that TV show of the infiltrated boss

@fathom wadi hows everything evolving sir ?

[carmine frigate]

yea.. and the boss goes undercover as a crab with udders

[carmine frigate]

do i get a free key for ghost of tabor?

[fathom wadi]

really bad right now in all honesty. But as they say, when you hit rock bottom there is only one way left to go. Up.

[median wraith]

well they were my clients and isn't my game soo I don't think so ? 👀

[median wraith]

still no improvements from the last time ?

[carmine frigate]

yea, but i might be your boss... can you risk not giving a key? 🙂

a client means they bought from you?

[fathom wadi]

nope. In fact today it got a little worse. Not to mention I've ran out of money, the family is eating rations basically, etc, etc, etc. I'm just so fkin tired.

[median wraith]

no, that I worked for them

[median wraith]

sorry to hear that man

wish you get some help from the community or so

[fathom wadi]

its not the community's problem tho. It's mine. If I need help with unreal engine the community is here for me 😉

[carmine frigate]

ill send out positive vibes into the universe so it might get better

[fathom wadi]

ty

[median wraith]

But someone could provide you a job, idk at this point why that wasn't the case

[carmine frigate]

I might fire Hevedy cuz he didnt give me a key

[fathom wadi]

a nice sentiment but I earn my work. I don't expect charity work. I have to dig myself out of this situation. I'm not even in the right mental state to work properly. I can't seem to keep my attention on any one thing for very long. I'd not want to ruin my reputation over being in a bad mental health state.

[carmine frigate]

you seem like a perfect fit for owninator inc.

project lead material

fuc it, ur the CEO now

owninator ur fired.. Hevedy is project lead... Marc is CEO

good luck

[carmine frigate]

im going to mars

[unreal ether]

I sincerely hope things improve quickly for you. Wishing you and your family all the best :)

Mars seems awesome

I'm gonna live in my little rust hut and shake my fist at all the rovers playing on my lawn dust

[fathom wadi]

thank you

[carmine frigate]

ahh you can have my mars ticket... mars sucks ass why would any1 go there

there are no oceans... no lakes.. no forrests .. and the sky isnt even blue

[unreal ether]

Just make an ocean. Bring some ice cubes and a few bottles of water

Then find the duplication glitch. After all if we live in a simulation there's gotta be bugs :P

[carmine frigate]

no really... mars is absolute arse

like you open the door to walk outside... you fucking die

its literally that bad

[unreal ether]

Eh we will find a way to cope

[carmine frigate]

we could shoot Elon into the sun and make the earth a better place 🙂

If you did end up on mars you'd likely spend all your time inside a cramped space debugging robots.

Which you can do on Earth, but with breaks and vacations.

[carmine frigate]

yea its way more easy to grow a forrest in the sahara

[regal pecan]

Why doesn't NASA sell spacesuits. They'd be a hit.

Would be rather lucrative for cosplayers too.

[fathom wadi]

dammit. Someone on youtube just said The Godfather pt 2 was one of the worst mafia movies ever, and I can't reply with a sweaty insult because I got a 24 hour comment ban for calling out a racist. I hate it when they happens ¬_¬

[broken sigil]

[fathom wadi]

I need an AI moderator to realise the context of my insults before they ban me and not them. :/

[proud jay]

people hate the godfather 3, but I think it was pretty nice

I don't remember part 2 all that much tbh

excepr ||rip Fredo||

[fathom wadi]

TG1&2 are considered the finest mafia movies of all time. Alongside Goodfellas, Casino, Donnie Brasco and so on.
I like the third godfather movie also. Coppola even improved the flow of the movie with the redux version.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5nslYPANQw what really irks me about being comment banned is a politician can use this kind of transphobic rhetoric whilst she gets paid to enact draconian law changes in regards to asylum seekers, and they don't de-platform her in any way. I can't believe she said this out loud.

but if I call her a name because I need catharsis for the anger she induced, I get punished.

[proud jay]

free speech I guess

the problem is dumbasses voting for them

[pearl elk]

elected officials have more protected speech under parliamentary privilege

[proud jay]

yeah it's like diplomats not being able to get speeding tickets because of protections lol

makes no sense

[fathom wadi]

we dont have free speech in the UK. We have limited speech. And transphobic comments can get you arrested.

[proud jay]

funny thing is in belgium people of parliament have extra speech protections, but they can also revoke it and punish you anyway

also I kinda hate the law that you can talk shit to anyone, except people that server the public like police officers

why can I not call them a shithead without being arrested

[fathom wadi]

with this situation not targeting a specific individual she won't even be wrapped on the knuckles by the law, but anyone else outside of the cabinet would get de-platformed instantly. Twitter would melt down on this person. But she's part of that exclusive club who are there to ignite tension on behalf of those who wish to force change and need a scapegoat.

wow Dieter, I'd be in jail for life. I can't stand silent to bigots, hypocrites and idiots.

I wonder if they got rid of those annoying lock in combos. I figured with the chrono stuff this is where they were going since theres alot of classic skins in 11

[fathom wadi]

why do they have "Likely mature" on the trailer? Either it is or isn't. Did they even watch it before rating it?
"Hey can you do the warning label on the trailer?"
"What game?"
"Mortal Kombat"
"Meh I cba. It's likely mature content".
"Perfect"

[pearl elk]

Its not been rated yet

You get a similar warning in the cinema for unrated movies

[cursive crypt]

Roll dice to see whether it is mature.

[pearl elk]

I can tell you now it wont be 17+ here, it'll be R18+

[fathom wadi]

even it's it's not been rated it's pretty obvious from the content it's not for kids. Unless poking eyes out, crushing a man's head and forcing another man's head to eviscerate their own body is considered child friendly now 😄

[pearl elk]

yeah but they cant put the official rating on it until its been rated so they put a guide instead

we dont recognize esrb ratings here at all

[fleet tangle]

They don't have a final cut submitted to the ratings board yet?

[fathom wadi]

I would have done, being Netherealm upon releasing it into the public domain. I know ratings don't mean anything in reality, but personally I do believe in advising parents about content and age gating it on media sites.

[pearl elk]

ratings arnt global

[fathom wadi]

I know. Neither is morality. But that makes variable standards right for the situation?

[pearl elk]

age gates might lock legitimate people out of the content

depending on country

[mossy nexus]

mature-ish

[pearl elk]

They could technically put MK games on Steam through as E for everyone and it'd get past our censors lol

[fathom wadi]

yeah game rating systems are a joke everywhere. PEGI 3 for a full on casino simulator using football superstars to promote the gambling elements with FIFA games.

[soft night]

Steam have variable rating ways

steam have adult games and apps too

[pearl elk]

Im just glad that MK can actually get a rating here now

video would probs be geoblocked otherwise so phew

[fathom wadi]

yeah its a good fighting game. Not really too interested in the gore side myself, it adds nothing to gameplay for me. But the systems they use to make the actual game are really good.

[pearl elk]

I dont like the super combos you cant use breakers on, they are meant for balancing the game but they just make it too much canned animation

I prefer games like Killer Instinct where the combos require skill to keep them going

[soft night]

mons have you check your steam filters

[pearl elk]

I keep the AO filter on on purpose

[fathom wadi]

yeah KI is one of the best fighting systems

[pearl elk]

Im not a fan of big anime boobies

[fathom wadi]

I replicated the KI system in unreal a few years back when Paragon assets were released. It was super easy with conduits and state machines.

[pearl elk]

the combat in MK is pretty flowy they just need to add extra transitions and you could connect more moves

[fathom wadi]

yep it has a stiffness that can be detrimental to natural button bashing and reaction times. But I think it's part of it's charm in a way, like how Tekken does the same thing. Horses for courses though. I guess these systems need to cover a range of what people like and there is room for their system.

[pearl elk]

I just didnt like those mega easy combos which couldnt be broken

because you'd be flogging the AI and it would always pull em off since its an underdog sort of mechanism

the amount of times I had the AI down to 1 punch left and they would do one of those and win, feels too cheap especially against Kronika

which I dont think is meant to sound like a complete hippie pothead

Fatal Blows thats the one, Kronika is immune but can still do them against you... Id rather just play with em permanently off

[fathom wadi]

yeah totally agree. I hate overtly difficult AI in games.

[fleet tangle]

It should at least be an option.

What I don't like is cheat AI.

Where the only option to make it better is to make it cheat.

[fathom wadi]

I remember once playing SF2 turbo on the snes and trying to get all perfects to complete the game. I eventually did it after roughly 6 hours or so of grinding and only M.Bison gave me any solid fight because it flat out cheated. And when I finally did it all I got was a screenshot of all the characters with a giant M.Bison holding his hands over them all. 😄

but you can use the windows launcher and most games without DRM in wine

yea some have install scripts which manage dependencies on system libraries for you, heroic probably does that

another one would be lutris

but steam does a way better job on linux, which also handles all dependencies for you

so i only buy games there

thats the trade-off yeah. But over the years AMD has lagged behind naturally. So Nvidia made CUDA cores, AMD copy/pasted that. Nividia came up with frame generation/DLSS and AMD copied that, but it's always lagging behind. When the parity is level, the price difference will be more of a deciding factor than it is now. Which at this moment in GPU tech, is actually levelling out quite nice compered to the 4090 series. But that 4060ti releasing at $299 is another push towards Nvidia domination

[bleak remnant]

My graphics card barely even exists

like it has drivers and thats about it, and the drivers break because windows always override them

so I cannot even use AMD software

😂

RX 5500 for context, heavily shadowed by RX 5500XT

[regal pecan]

Nvidia's always been pushing gimmicks. Most have been tepid, but at least raytracing is doing well. Having 80% (sometimes over 90%) of the market also means they can push their weight around-they can simply make more GPUs than AMD and price accordingly if they're threatened.

[cursive crypt]

AMD always lacking behind Nvidia/Intel in terms of tech.
I'm thinking this is intentional actually, I mean they the same family anyway - there might be hidden agenda.

yeah it was the same with Ati. But back then the tech was more in parity. Since CUDA it's been a whole different ball game.

[cursive crypt]

I'm curious how things will change since fabs start to move out of taiwan.

[fathom wadi]

dude that makes me feel so bad for you. I had a 970 and that barely did it's job once the 10 series card became a baseline

[cursive crypt]

There are more ppl with 3080ti than 960

[fathom wadi]

not quite. The embargo on details lifted today tho

the 16gb version isn't out until July tho

[carmine frigate]

staight up gaming card AMD is pretty much caught up... both on perf/price and perf/watt

but if you dev... like cuda and omniverse stuff u might need nvidia

[cursive crypt]

You can use other frameworks than cuda, but users prefer traditional.

this ad was brought to you by...

[cursive crypt]

Ads are like mosquitoes

[fathom wadi]

I pay for youtube premium so I don't get adverts. I have to say it was a solid purchase because we were using Spotify family account and the wife realised that there is barely anything on spotify you can't find on Youtube anyway, and you get the extra channels and so on. So its a win/win for us

[cursive crypt]

I prefer the recommendation of Spotify+ the hifi, but I can see your reasoning.

[fathom wadi]

I do miss the lists you could create with Spotify. It was smooth and they recommended based on your list. It's almost the same with youtube but they only recommend MGTOW/Anti-Feminism/BattleOfTheSexes videos anyway.

I'd like to know more about these 3d games with fixed top down cameras that ARE point and click

Is there a moba-style adventure game floating around?

[fathom wadi]

top down example project

[wintry skiff]

Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2 are at least partially 3D and I'm pretty sure using a not entirely fixed camera... I think it might push in and out at certain points.

I don't think the player has control over camera zoom (confirmation needed). It's decided by certain gameplay beats.

Do isometric games fall under the topdown umbrella?

Diablo 3 & 4 for sure then

I thought you were looking for strictly topdown 3D and I was really scratching my head. Hard to come up with examples of that.

[regal pecan]

Diablo is as point-and-click as it gets, I'd think.
Twin stick shooters used to be popular. They're sort of been revived as vampire survivors ripoffs.

[wintry skiff]

I would agree, until you plug in a controller 😛

Oh yeeah, in terms of twin stick shooters, Super Stardust HD comes to mind. Perfect example of a fixed camera, 3D topdown game.

[sweet rose]

how is it deceptive for anyone with a brain?

Udemy courses are good

depends on the instructor though

[unreal ether]

Many people don't know the sales are fake

Sales create FOMO
Faking sales is deceptive marketing. Also known as scamming

Like if you own a shop you can't just tell every nth customer there's a sale on [expensive item] so they buy it when there actually isn't a sale on

But udemy does

And it's scummy as hell

[sweet rose]

not sure if it's "many", haven't met such a person yet

[unreal ether]

Just look in this discord

Every single person I've dealt with asking if a udemy course is good, didn't know the sales were fake

[sweet rose]

I mean when my uncle introduced me to Udemy he specifically said "buy it when they have a sale, it's just marketing" lol

[unreal ether]

And there's a lot of those people

[sweet rose]

surprising

[unreal ether]

Plus just because people know doesn't make it less shitty.

Most people know about the Nigerian prince scam, doesn't mean the people running it aren't the scum of the earth

[sweet rose]

that is a scam

[unreal ether]

So is the udemy thing

[sweet rose]

Udemy has genuinely good courses

[unreal ether]

By definition it is genuinely a scam

Deceptive marketing is a scam

Sales with no sale basis that are different per customer per IP address are scams

It's generating FOMO so people buy the things they might not have otherwise

That is scamming

[sweet rose]

Then isn't it the same for every game with limited time Battle Pass items

how is that different

[unreal ether]

It isnt

You have described another shitty commonly used scam

[stray orbit]

Have you seen her latest Friday remix? 😅 It's such a good troll to her haters.

[stray orbit]

Highly recommend. You will not forget it, for a variety of reasons.

You should be.

It's the one by Rebecca Black herself... featuring Dorian Electra.

Pretty sure she did it, entirely, as a troll to her haters-- because if you look at her other music, it's so good. She's becoming quite the icon in the indie music sphere.

[fathom wadi]

you know what the biggest troll was... the fact she made millions from it and yet talented people are broke. /hides in shame

[stray orbit]

She was/is very talented... just that original Friday song did her no justice-- but, hard to blame the then teenaged and industry inexperienced Rebecca for what her producer did.

Kind of impressive that she was able to rise from those ashes like a phoenix.

[fathom wadi]

someone been playing with the channel icons 😄

Not sure I actually like it on the voice chat channels however as it clashes with the user list in voice chat.

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/yourewelcome-gif-9094924

[fleet tangle]

What

Channels have icons now?!

And why is the blueprint icon a notepad when you don't really do any actual text-based coding?!

[lofty lark]

That was not in the slightest what I expected.

[stone saddle]

discord forced it, it's apparently rolling this out, and we do not have the ability to change the icons currently, they are automatically determined based on the channel name. Also the new mobile UI is... interesting

might be better might be worse, will see how people feel in a couple of days once they adjust, it's a big change

the icons though, at least on desktop, not liking their implementation tbh

I'm sure they'll give us the ability to change them here in the near future, would be weird if they didn't

[stone saddle]

yea, makes it harder to tell if people are there or not, they blend in too much

[broken sigil]

with some adjustments I think it might actually look decent

steam update?

[unreal ether]

yeah those icons are awful. i hope they add a profile setting to disable them completely

[cursive crypt]

Before ppl just used some unicode icons, was good enough

[unreal ether]

To say they disallow and discourage use of 3rd party discord clients like betterdiscord, they're really seem to be trying to push people that way lol

[bronze axle]

I still cannot see them.

It seems ridiculous to me that the server owner cannot see such a significant UI change in their own server.

[unreal ether]

Only got them on pc for me.
Not on mobile

[bronze axle]

I see them on mobile because I have the new layout beta enabled.

[unreal ether]

Especially such a large partnered server

[bronze axle]

The desktop icons just started showing up randomly since yesterday.

[unreal ether]

You'd think the first call would be "let the owner see and customise it"

[bronze axle]

They are algorithmically generated. The app tries to guess a good icon based on the channel name.

[unreal ether]

Yeah it doesn't do a great job either.

Like ue5 general's icon is 🆕
#ue4-general is 🎮

It just looks so cluttered and even more confusing now

[bronze axle]

Yeah. It is good at figuring out more typical channel names, but not really specific ones.

[unreal ether]

And adds absolutely nothing since people have been able to add emojis to channel names for ages anyway.

[bronze axle]

If this were a feature that let us add emojis to channel names, it would be different.

But for them to be automatically-generated and have no setting to control them is just silly.

[unreal ether]

Yeah

For example

Another server I am in

Emojis in channel names, has been like this for years, clean, no weird coloured circle

New update makes this even worse with the auto generated crap

Not even a profile toggle to stop seeing it

[bronze axle]

To be fair, those emojis are sort of a hack using the OS native emoji picker, and they look different for each OS.

[unreal ether]

It seems odd that they'd make a really good update to avoid clutter, and then do a complete 180 with the current implementation

[unreal ether]

True, it would be nice to just have support for embedded emojis in channel names, rather than the current system

More customisable, hell you could even allow nitro emojis as a booster perk.

[bronze axle]

Indeed. But this automated version is not good, for a number of reasons.

Yeah totally.

My main issues with this feature are:

• It's automatically-generated and can't be turned off
• I'm the server owner and still can't see them
• They look better on the experimental mobile layout

In the new mobile layout, the icons make a lot more sense. On desktop, they are on the wrong side of the channel type icon and just add visual clutter.

[unreal ether]

Yeah. I have no doubts it will all be fixed at some point. But the fact they thought releasing it as it is was even an option is mind boggling.

It's so blatantly half finished

[broken sigil]

It's part of their "throw AI at everything plan" (most likely used AI to semantically select the emojis)... Which I don't know how I feel about it

[bronze axle]

Oh, I am also really annoyed that they just haphazardly deploy features like this to random servers, for random users, without a word.

[bronze axle]

I know how I feel about it. lol

I think it is a bad plan that will backfire.

[broken sigil]

Yep 😅

I mean I love AI stuff... But companies are starting to throw AI at literally everything

Even creating problems where there shouldn't be any just to slap AI on it

[unreal ether]

I can't wait for part 3 where Clyde renames all channels to what it thinks is better and it's non negotiable

[broken sigil]

[unreal ether]

It's really annoying. Who knew we would have another web3 before web3 has even blown over

Not only do we now have the joys of NFTs for your favourite triple a game, you bet they're gonna fit some zany ai magic into it too!

Despite the entire customer base screaming not to

[broken sigil]

Yeah I mean unlike web3 there are legitimate uses for AI, but it's not a solution to every single problem in existence

[unreal ether]

Yeah

Those AI voice models are scary good at the moment

[broken sigil]

Yeah

[unreal ether]

I see lots of lawsuits in the future of those.

[cursive crypt]

Ikea has a discord? Lmao

[broken sigil]

Scary thing is you can run voice synthesis models on potato hardware

Relatively potato

[unreal ether]

"Big tech company sued because they fired their voice actors but used some recording of them to carry on their work" sort of deal

[unreal ether]

Nah just some random server a friend bugged me into joining years ago lmao

That's what half of my servers are. Abandoned

[bronze axle]

They look so much worse on desktop.

[unreal ether]

The new mobile layout also kind of looks funky, like it seems more annoying to switch channels now. Or is that just for the server home page

[bronze axle]

I like the new mobile layout so far.

The server menu is nice.

Feels more at home on a mobile device.

[unreal ether]

Can't seem to enable the beta

[bronze axle]

✨

Tap and hold that emoji on your phone. When you see the pop up explaining the emoji, tap & hold it in that pop up.

[unreal ether]

Doesn't do anything for me 😅

[bronze axle]

Oh, bummer. Maybe it's iOS only? I thought it was on Android, too.

It is a very experimental feature, hence why it was so well hidden.

[unreal ether]

Ah ha, an update fixed it

[bronze axle]

Ah.

[unreal ether]

It seems auto update failed me

[broken sigil]

Works on Android for me

[unreal ether]

Oooh no not liking it

[broken sigil]

Press and hold this

[unreal ether]

It's instantly screwed up all muscle memory

[broken sigil]

Yep lol

[unreal ether]

Yeah I got it now, my discord hadn't auto updated

[broken sigil]

But I do kinda like the new mobile ui

[unreal ether]

I keep trying to reply to myself when I see who's online 😭

[broken sigil]

Will take some getting used to

[unreal ether]

Not being able to see the channel and messages at the same time and scroll is pretty bad for me

Hope they add toggle

[bronze axle]

What do you mean?

[unreal ether]

It's kind of hard to explain. The old version, for me at least just feels a lot more fluid for switching channels and servers

Everything is one swipe away

Rather than swipe, tap, scroll, tap

I hope the toggle stays when it comes out if beta

But who knows

[bronze axle]

Hm.

For me, switching channels in server is the same with the new layout. Swipe right, scroll through the channel list, tap new channel.

[unreal ether]

It's something I'll get used to.

Just for me, wholly one of those that if it isn't broken, why fix it.

[unreal ether]

It just feels clunkier, especially with the new server browser

[bronze axle]

I understand.

It does feel unnecessary.

But that is probably because we are missing context.

I get the feeling lately that Discord is working toward a major redesign.
