imagine if I made an MLK movie and made the main actor asian cause I think asian representation is too low

unreal wing
#

nah, tht wldnt work, ppl take black representation srsly, much more than white or asian representation thats for sure

proud jay
#

I'm just saying, it's a bad argument

timber viper
#

its not about color its just not accurate

#

also netflix claims they're doing these things to "break the perception of beauty in people"

#

which indirectly means the black people they choose are in the cast because they are ugly

proud jay
#

lol

#

they should make a live action remake of the princess and the frog

#

loved that shit

unreal wing
#

meant to reply to dieters msg above tht one but both valid

lofty lark
# timber viper also netflix claims they're doing these things to "break the perception of beaut...

it's not even a case of fucking beauty vs ugly tho. It's a case of them stomping on another's culture or work to push their own goals. Like if they want to push a show with non-caucasion casts and/or have homosexuality in it, you don't need to use the name "The Witcher" to do that. It's lazy and disrespectful to the one who created the original stories. Just create your own show/story/ip/whatever instead of "overwriting" someone else's. Or if you want to do a movie based off a historical black figure, pick a historical black figure, don't turn a white figure black.

why are the physically abusive partners never played by women, I want my representation

timber viper

#

If you want to make a movie about cleopatra, make it about cleopatra. The problem isn't inherently the culture/ethnicity/race being chosen, it's the fact it's blatantly inaccurate and a misrepresentation of what they aim to represent.

lofty lark
proud jay

imo

unreal wing
fleet tangle
#

Or even if they accept it does exist, that guys should just "man up" and deal with it.

#

I know, right?

proud jay
#

when women are the abusers though it's more often emotional/mental abuse, which is a lot harder to prove, add on top of that that you "have to be strong" as a man and then you just have it that men are fucked

#

isn't the UK law written in such a way that a women cannot be a rapist

#

technically speaking of course

fleet tangle
#

That was changed.

proud jay
#

lucky

fleet tangle
#

It used to be penis in hole, now it's penis or object, I believe.

mossy nexus
#

not in. Touching

proud jay
#

but you can still rape someone by putting their thing in yours

#

not just forcing something in them

timber viper
#

in Turkey there is a law called "The statement of the women" or something like that, idk how to translate 1:1
but its basically (real world scenario, sadly) if a woman came to judge with a mark on her face and blames a random guy she met, he'll be 100% found guilty

fleet tangle
#

Yup

timber viper
#

if there are not enough evidence of something, whatever women says being accepted as evidence

fleet tangle
#

Reminds me of that court case some tiem ago, a couple of women basically raped a guy while he was asleep in a park. He got done for indescent exposure or something because the judge didn't believe he was asleep while they did their thing.

#

And he didn't try to get them done because they were his friends.

mossy nexus
proud jay
#

women are heavily advantaged in a bunch of court cases

#

e.g. when it comes to custody

#

plenty of people falsely locked up for things like r*pe too

timber viper

1 to 4 cups per day is recommended though

#

it helps to reduce fatigue

Assuming that was not decaf, you consumed more caffiene daily than I did monthly. Hell, probably even biannually

The brain is somehow half the storage of a black hole by mass? Sketchy.

empty dune
#

That part surprised me too

#

Didn't really understand the SDUC part either

#

But the rest of stuff was funny

regal pecan
#

However, we can beat black hole storage with micro-SDUC cards [...] 27x more than a black hole! But, in a far larger volume.

empty dune
#

Yeah, that didn't make sense

regal pecan
#

So, because we want the most entropy, and to get more entropy with a larger object, we're going to choose the smallest possible object available for the mass, because black holes are cool. Yes, great. Looks good. I'll buy his startup.

#

I love me some sticky rice

#

but my gf doesn't 😔

#

luckily I do the cooking most often so she just has to live with it

#

I hate it when I finally decide to purchase an e-book instead of 🏴‍☠️ it, and then it's a fucking adobe drm file

#

and then you have to go through 127 step process to get it on your ereader

#

fuck this drm

#

this is like actively encouraging people to not buy shit

#

which is not what I'm promoting cause I respect the server rules

#

luckily you can remove the drm

#

but still dumb af

#

I like paper books, but damn my e-reader is just so convenient

#

and doesn't take up as much space lol

#

we already have 3 bookcases full of the books that we already read lol

#

if I'm gonna get my books that are still at my parents that's another full-wall bookcase

#

I just don't have unlimited space

#

and I don't ever re-read them, so they just stand there

#

I'm considering just reading e-books, and the ones that I really really like maybe buy physical and put on a rack

#

the reader I got is pretty nice

#

and the "default" book seller on it is drm free

#

so that's nice

#

and they have this nice cloud feature where you can continue reading on your pc or phone, which is nice if you have to kill some time somewhere and don't have it with you

#

the amazon e-book system is shit though

#

it's like kindle only, very locked down

#

I'd never buy a kindle, just because of that

#

again, you can still remove the drm, but such a hassle

#

I prefer just getting the e-pub, dragging it into that cloud thing and then I just open my e-reader and it's there waiting for me

#

but if that kindle thing was your first experience, I get that you're not very hyped for it

#

I have the Vivlio Touch Lux 5

#

which is just a rebrand of the PocketBook Touch Lux 5

soft night
#

dieter you have eink tablet to reed those ebooks?

proud jay

I guess you could call it that

I got one for my gf's birthday too

don't tell her though

it's tomorrow

worldly sapphire
#

Hmm I hadn't heard that brand before

proud jay
#

it's what standaard boekhandel sells 😄

worldly sapphire
#

Oh haha

proud jay
#

it's a french brand that wants to be a competitor to kindle and kobo

pearl elk
#

I dont like the way kindles smell, I love the smell of a new book

proud jay
#

by just rebranding other e-readers

worldly sapphire
#

I do like the physical buttons

proud jay
#

yeah

worldly sapphire
#

I got a Kobo Clara and it's great, but being e-ink it's not as responsive as normal touch screen

proud jay
#

sometimes the touch screen just don't wanna work with me

#

especially when trying it with my left hand

#

cause that hand is retarded

#

I try to go to the next page but it registers it as wanting to go to the menu

#

I know it's probably my fault since I never have it with my right hand

#

but still

#

nice to have the buttons that always work

worldly sapphire
#

Sometimes I like to highlight text to note but arghh

proud jay
#

I never do that

#

too clunky

worldly sapphire
#

Or try to go to the next page but I don't know if it's slow or I did it wrong

proud jay
#

the kobo clara does seem slow though

#

my colleague has one

worldly sapphire
#

Oh Discworld books are the worst with all of its footnotes lol

proud jay
#

would not buy one myself

worldly sapphire
#

Trying to press that tiny little asterisk to get to the footnote at the back

proud jay
#

he was the one that convinced me to get an e-reader though

#

but then I got mine and we were trying some stuff, and his was just so slow

worldly sapphire
#

Hmmm

proud jay
#

I guess it's fine for reading, but still frustrating

worldly sapphire
#

Yeah

#

I still love it though, it's nice and light

proud jay
#

yeah it's slightly smaller I think

#

but mine literally fits into my pocket

#

so it's fine

worldly sapphire
#

I buy print occasionally but sometimes it's nice to be like "Hm, I want to read that book. I'll just buy it and immediately start reading"

proud jay
#

the print I just find annoying to hold while reading now

#

also I read a lot in the evening

#

and then you have to be in just the right position to get some light on the page

proud jay
#

holding Shogun while reading was pain

#

it's 1000+ pages

worldly sapphire
#

D:

proud jay
#

I wanna read the next book of the asian saga somewhere in the near future

#

won't do that on physical lol

#

but instantly having the book is nice yeah

#

like I just read Daughter of the Moon Godess and finished it

#

and I was like, I kinda wanna read the sequel

#

and I just downloaded and continued reading

#

no waiting on slow boy bpost

#

or having to go to the store

#

and most books on display in the store really seem garbage, so don't have to go there for that either

#

like 800 different popular romance drivel books on display

and that crapshow colleen hoover

about to move though and possibly get gigabit for $50/month

I get 100 mbps (unlimited), cable TV, subscriptions to 16 OTTs for $8 a month

#

yeah, eight

unreal ether

😭

chrome gull

that's like 10 times cheaper wtf

unreal ether
#

Dare I ask what your upload is

chrome gull

100

unreal ether
chrome gull

upload and download speeds are usually the same

unreal ether

Not round here lol

really? damn

unreal ether
#

80down, 20 up

chrome gull
#

WHAT

#

no way

#

are all ISPs in the UK similar?

unreal ether
#

A lot are somewhat similar, virgin is the best price. You can get. 512mbps + TV for like 120/month, but they don't have any fibreoptic in my area so I'm stuck with caveman internet

#

The downside with virgin is shit customer service too

chrome gull
#

bruh you don't even have fiber optic after you pay 80 pounds a month?

unreal ether
#

Nope

chrome gull
#

yikes, didn't think infrastructure here would be better than the UK

#

that too for much cheaper

#

but tbh Jio undercut every other ISP with stupid low prices forcing everyone else to cut down theirs too

I was paying US$40/month for 10mbps upload 1.5mbps upload - only when it wasn't raining though (rural NZ) - now I'm on StarLink - 250mbps down 30 up

worldly mesa
#

just for the database. they just upped my speeds. was $75 for 250 down, 15 up. now i have 600 down and 57 up for the same price

#

but there is also this wonderful stipulation. "everyday, between midnight and 6am we will be working to improve your service. during this time, your internet may be out."

im really happy lol

mental veldt
#

nice!

delicate minnow
#

i released it last october

#

and it plays completely differently, its barely even in the same genre

#

but whats the most important for me is that people who play it seem to like it quite a lot, so im happy c:

unreal ether
#

a small userbase of happy users will alwayus mean more to me than a large user base of souless players :P

#

Idk about anyone else but i want to make games for people to enjoy, not just to pass the time.

delicate minnow
#

no one says that is amazing, its just a dumb feature that makes a certain percentage of player smile

#

i guess they just like the overall chill vibe, and that its easy to grasp and understand, and that it has a cute simplistic art style

#

and also the psychology of numbers - you wanna get nice big satisfying numbers in your score

#

no one says everyone has to like it - thats completely fine c: Im happy that most of the player base for this genre seem to like it

#

no one is stopping you c:

#

although I have a reference to that game in my game too, theres even a secret achievement for that

#

c;

#

anyway, you can never make a product for everyone. The key is to find your audience and focus on that. So I did that and it seemed to work. Pays for the groceries, and maybe a bit more too now with this video released, which im super stoked about

#

best thing is that it gives me more opportunity and motivation now to do even better with my new project

#

steady improvement hopefully!

unreal ether
#

The point is not going first person in general. I don't know how many of this genre you play but the ability to go first person to see what you've made is a rarity. I don't know a single town builder that does it actually.

Kind of like how a filter system is a simple thing missing from a lot of games with crafting systems, but is a very nice touch when it's added. Doesn't mean the bar is low for that game or audience. Just means that it did something good :P

Kinda off-topic but my uni is going to teach C#. I've dealt with it multiple years ago (and subsequently forgot everything about it) and I have decided that 1) I hate it and 2) that's not my area of expertise.

Since then, I've seem to have gotten a decent understanding of Blueprints in Unreal Engine. I'd ideally prefer to skip C# lessons completely but I wonder if there's a way I can transfer my BP knowledge to C#?

#

TL;DR: I hate programming, my uni will be teaching me C#, I kinda understand BPs so I wonder if I can use that knowledge to manage those classes for the next 60 days

#

okay it's not a TL;DR welp

chrome gull
#

the absolute basics of programming like variables and functions will carry over, but not much more
ack, that's a bummer

also a random unsolicited life story: I got taught C# in a course , as a result I hated it for years, and it was only once I used it for myself I realized that it's actually great and the teachers were idiots
when I first started out with game dev, I've dipped into everything - turns out that no one can do everything and I'll need to specialize - I've thought really hard about it and found out design is what I enjoy the most and programming is what I enjoy the least

#

but apparently I just can't ditch programming

#

yeah, checks out, I signed up there to learn design but my curriculum so far is everything but that

#

idk if I'm in a position to give advice but I'd say take some time and figure out what you're good at and what you like doing

#

nah, never looked into game makers but I can deal with BPs because it's a sweet spot for me

#

I can visualize things so that's a plus

I don't know what "MOC style organizing for linking?" means 😅 I guess my approach isn't much more than what you could do with something like word or google docs tbh. I don't do anything real fancy or complex with my notes

chrome gull

use pen and paper lol

#

I feel like I have more control that way

#

I mean initially

#

not always

lofty lark
#

I don't want writing notes to be a chore or time consuming, so I keep it simple.

chrome gull

I see, imo whiteboards are massive - I just take a A4 or something smaller than that and work on them

I'll then order the papers

and start transferring to docs or something

the only thing I really used whiteboards for is working through stuff, not for notes.

Discord tries to do something about it

Whereas roblox didnt even try to, since one of the devs were targeting minors for a while, got caught and still didnt do anything. They banned him for 12 hours or so, then unbanned him and continued paying him

You can also make decent things on steam workshop for csgo that could potentially be added into the actual game. And get paid for life.
