no arabic 😢
Yeah 😦 We translated most popular 12 languages on Steam
zinc wagon
oh really? i thought arabic would be at least in the top 10 lol
cunning geode
Arabic also requires some special UI fixes to support right-to-left writing.
zinc wagon
well still 12 languages i cant imagine that being super fun to deal with 😅
zinc wagon
literally no steam user speaks arabic lmao, fair enough
cunning geode
I also thought Arabic would be more popular. Probably many arabic Steam users speak english
Or maybe it's just a bug 😄
zinc wagon
or french but tbh ik that most arabic users prefer using english/french not just because of the language but the UX too
like moving things from left to right gotta be the worst thing ever
cunning geode
like moving things from left to right gotta be the worst thing ever
Yeah, it requires extra effort to support it

yep and it doesnt even look good
so i understand when some app doesnt include it

but yeah my kid kinda is hard on tech, worse than i was and i was lucky to have a laptop last 3 years
@errant raven while yeah i have that high autism IQ my kid isnt really displaying it as much as i was

white oxide
shes not like violent with the stuff
errant raven
Or he
white oxide
she just doesnt care for it really
errant raven
I'm smart but I have very poor memory for the most part
white oxide
most of the time its simply the fact that she spilled cereal all over it
white oxide
weve tried "waterproof" versions and they still broke, so we went with cheap and mass replaceable
errant raven
Man I love cheap tablets
white oxide
i mean her mom makes so much disposable income
errant raven
They're so thick and durable for being cheap
white oxide
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B59LC3LC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_24?smid=AVVCG1VML6PA2&th=1 got her like 20 of these

Yes those are what I imagined
Little square bricks of entertainment
Perfect for youtube in 720p
errant raven
Netflix and hulu
proud jay
you could also play with your kids or something idk
errant raven
Cancel the netflix
white oxide
oh we do
errant raven
Netflix is like a refrigerator, full of shit but nothing you want
white oxide
but moms a lawyer, and i spend most of my day doing HVAC
and my dad is in his 60's and not really cut for being more than a babysitter
errant raven
Netflix recently has been weird
proud jay
haven't had netflix in over a year
white oxide
so she has a tablet, they do stuff outside (when its not 110 F out) and he feeds her
proud jay
I steal my brother's disney+ and have my own server
errant raven
I live in U.S but I mostly get german/swedish/dutch/Belgian/danish shows now
white oxide
then her mom comes and picks her up later at night
proud jay
it was good for a while
but then they raise prices and there's just nothing new
that's decent at least
errant raven
Half is LGBTQ/black history documentaries and ww2 stuff. The type of stuff you watch on youtube while you go to sleep.
The rest is just bits and pieces of animes that ended years ago that netflix never bothers to update
proud jay
there was this one really interesting docu on netflix about japanese warlords
errant raven
Except for that one french documentary on emperor penguins
proud jay
other than that meh
proud jay
I think it was Age of Samurai: Battle for Japan
errant raven
Was it the war against china or Mongolia
errant raven
Oh the civil war
proud jay
daimyos fighting eachother
errant raven
Like the civil war that ended the age of the samurai
When Japan bought guns and cannons from other empires
errant raven
What's uhu mean
proud jay
it's like yes
errant raven
Ah
The one thing I hate about japan is that the government is allowing the death of real katana making to die out
Beautiful weapons
white oxide
but yeah i know most people see "tablet distractions" as bad parenting but she DOES NOT GET ALONG with other kids her age
proud jay
it's ok if within limit imo
white oxide
got kicked out of 3 daycares for biting people who werent nice to her
proud jay
some people put their kid in front of tablets for like 5 hours a day though
errant raven
but yeah i know most people see "tablet distractions" as bad parenting but she *...
It's not bad parenting, parenting is subjective
Would explain why this generation is a bit soft and bitchy
white oxide
yeah she spent the most time on it this summer, but then its also been over 100f for like 90 out of the last 100 days
proud jay
boomer moment
white oxide
im 24 and i agree

Or drug addicts with no desire of higher education. Just complaining that the government fucked them over by charging them with a crime they wilfully committed

when its cooler out she has 10 acres to wander around and explore and my dad while unable to get down and arounf for things like toy playing, is fully capable of walking all around the property and follwing her
and atm more than strong enough to pick her up out of anything she might get stuck in
but its fcking texas and saturday was 110F in the shade
can you blame us for saying "indoors and play"
white oxide
and while dads house is perfect for clumsy kids (cause every single surface you can get hurt on has been smoothed down while i was a kid) it lacks a lot of her toys
and she DEF has the autistic "toy of the moment"
errant raven
My child also terrorizes animals by scream "ahhhhh" and sometimes "awww"
white oxide
oh yeah she torments my cat a lot, luckily the dude is the most chill cat ever
errant raven
I got her a pet dib and rightfully named it "ahhhhh". Cus that's what she said when she first saw it
And she kissed its head
white oxide
really as long as you dont physically HURT him he just accepts whatever you do to him
hold him like a baby "alright, my this is my life now im a baby"
errant raven
I wish I had your cat
Mine is a whore
I appreciate all the kittens she births
But getting pregnant a month after your last litter matures is unacceptable
white oxide
mine would be too but we snipped them off
errant raven
Only one looks like her
The rest look nothing like any of the neighbours cats around here
white oxide
errant raven
Also, I do not know hoe she got inside our house. But she did, and gave birth behind the couch.
white oxide
now she's yours
proud jay
and while dads house is perfect for clumsy kids (cause every single surface you ...
why not bring the toys with you?
errant raven
Shes been mine, she just prefers being outdoors
white oxide
have you seen how many toys kids need these days?
errant raven
A child with adhd is rough
proud jay
wdym need lol
white oxide
the problem is she has all of mine, her mothers, and new ones
proud jay
my brother just has a box of toys they travel with to family
so the kids have their home toys, and their travel toys
white oxide
oh a kid with mid functioning austim and ADHD really wants/needs tons of stimulus to keep her from shutting down. luckily momma makes insanity level money and has like zero expenses
and i can make her anything she wants with my own hands
errant raven
Would it be wrong for me to influence my kids to try to go into a science field
proud jay
as long as you don't force them to do things they don't like
errant raven
When they start doing school I'm gonna be rough on them, but not too rough. Education is insanely important and I refuse to let them make my mistakes
errant raven
as long as you don't force them to do things they don't like
Never forced, just lightly influenced
proud jay
that's fine
white oxide
i do all sorts of wacky science with my kid
proud jay
they follow your example most of the time
soft night
errant raven
Wouldnt even mind them being a geologist, the lowest of science fields
white oxide
at least when that are younger
proud jay
if parents are really into STEM, there's a high chance the child will be too
I will probably cry though if my child decides to become an artist
an not crying of hapiness
white oxide
i turned out very different from my dad
errant raven
But bob Ross type, no
white oxide
tbh i wouldnt mind if she did art,
errant raven
Depending on the type of art right
white oxide
nope
proud jay
only furry hentai
white oxide
they make so much money
errant raven
If they can get sales
proud jay
but they also draw furry hentai
white oxide
one of my friends from my graduating class makes furry porn and is dragging in like $2300 a month on patreon
errant raven
Tf
proud jay
is he into it too though
white oxide
plus comissions
errant raven
Maybe I chose the wrong profession
white oxide
tbh idk, but their webcomic is REALLY WELL THOUGHT OUT
very "came for the porn stayed for the story" stuff
errant raven
I'll just cancel my online engineering/math/science/history/geography courses and draw porn
white oxide
tbh... if i didnt have a young kid, id probably be doing it too. good adult stories sell like crazy
looks at the tons of renpy shit that floods everything yet has no value story wise
errant raven
It pays well
Bit it's so degrading man
I dont see how men or women do it
Other than the ones who do it because they actually enjoy it and not for the money
Idk what's more degrading, paying 1.3k for a tier 1 yugioh deck and learning it, just to get fucked by a single card and lose. Or work in the porn industry
white oxide
i mean if i did it, id do it because the money and pride that i can probably write a vastly better story that sells well
errant raven
Being a writer is also hard
white oxide
problem is theres a bit of overlap from those that do it because they cant not do it, and those with no taste
and they pump out crap that really has no life then 2d art version of some pornhub original
errant raven
Your book may be published but itll most likely never be purchased unless middle school teachers find it a "work of mastering the literature arts"

Write a book with a STEM topic and itll be picked up by every middle school or high school
white oxide
but then im going into my series with the design of films and shows built around it as well as games
errant raven
Why write a book with the intention of it being film material
white oxide
book, game, tv show, and movie
errant raven
When most if not all book based films get butchered
white oxide
because im also writing the script for it
and games, and tv show
i already have 2 of the 5 seasons scetched out for the show and have most of the 26 episodes for each of the first 2 seasons

Clerks, clerks 2, jay and silent bob, dogma
Meet the Spartans, farch of the penguins, more early 2000s spoof movies
Also playing banjo kazooie and golden eye 007 with uncle, cousins and brother
I feel so old

Theres one movie that got me into game development
Grandmas boy
The end plot of the movie is a game that was in production irl but got canceled so they used it as a story plot in the movie
Demonic
white oxide
or that movie "the war with grandpa" that used medieval engineers (by creators of space engineers) and by the time the movie finally got released the game featured in it had been dead for like 3 years
errant raven
Grandmas boy is game tester stoner guy who works for a game dev company
Who makes his own game, while the antagonist steals it from him and tries to pass it off as his own to impress their boss
white oxide
soooo the original tron plot
errant raven
The game he made being demonik, the irl game that got discontinued
What no, they dont go into the game
Frozen was released in 2013 btw
Feel old now
white oxide
the entire reason that the MC went into the tron world was because he was looking for some code that would identify the 2 most popular games in the world as his creations that were stolen
and the master control computer deemed him a threat
errant raven
So free guy would be a ripoff of original trons plot
They literally go into the game in free guy to find stolen code to prove it's their game
That stolen code being true AI that can learn and become self aware
white oxide
YEP
though the only difference sound that they went into the game willingly, flint was originally just writing malware to find it, when the evil master Ai program digitized him to try and keep him from poking around and being a general threat

Or the frickin linking blocks in math class
Or counting bears
The lil green yellow purple orange blue red bears

jesus.... now I know how the life of translators and cc typers is... The video may have 1 hour and you may take 2 hours to translate it. But add many many days to sync everything and follow the standards. character per line, per second, formatting. Have to deal with camera cuts, pauses to breath, etc. You can't just stack text in the same way as an essay.

well, shoot. i had hoped you were going to use the Cute Animals name instead. you may want to check the Urban Dictionary for petting zoo to make sure you want to keep that name, but they probably have a twisted definition for the word 'hello' so i guess not too much weight behind it

is that ai generated?

not sure tbh. I just saw the image and thought I'd make it in blender

I didn't make all of them. I used Blenderkit for the bed to save an hour, the picture on the wall and the lamp on the wall is too. But I made the rest

me too. Hoping I survive it tbh. I'm absolutely fucking depressed beyond words.
at least you can make cool blender scenes
fathom wadi
yeah I turn to blender as a distraction. I'd do more Unreal work but that makes me a bit more focused on my issues because I can breeze the work without thinking most of the time. Blender I have to learn everything I do
fathom wadi
unless you're being unreasonable
well not unreasonable. I accept it's his house to sell. But I have a wife and 5 kids and nowhere to go. I tried to rent but I get refused on the credit check. Being freelance self-employed means meeting the requirements is more difficult.

if you want a solid addon for scene content, the sketchfab blender plugin is pretty good. You can search in editor, which isn't great, but you can search on the website, copy the link and paste it into the blender plugin and it imports it with a correct setup. Saves a bunch of time
yeah sktechfab is great for that and they have a decent photogrammetry section from museums you can use for free.

slim atlas
Yo friends 😛
Do you guys know what the situation on modsupport is for unreal engine 5?
regal pecan
I don't. When's the last time Epic has ever said anything about mod support?
slim atlas
so hear me out
i made a game framework
so all the tools with default settings
highly expandeable
could i theoreticly stick ALL that framework into a plugin?
celest musk
yesnt
slim atlas
and then one would add this plugin to an empty 5.2 project
celest musk
but you wouldn't put that in a game feature (usually)
rather in a normal plugin/module
but what would be the purpose of that?
slim atlas
i dont want to share my source code with people
and modding seems to be super duper hard
i cannot find any ressources on how to make a custom editor either
celest musk
yeah sorry, i have no idea whats the best approach for 3rd party modding, my guess is that you hand them a project which pretty much contains the inheritable classes/interfaces without actual logic
then they could build a gamefeature plugin based on that from what i know
slim atlas
really hard
celest musk
but its also awkward at the same time, since idk how they would playtest it, other than packing each time and testing with the standalone game
celest musk
i would check out how existing unreal games do that, e.g. ark
slim atlas
did that
celest musk
which afaik has a modding editor, i wonder how they implemented that
slim atlas
cant find anything really
i know from a couple sources who say:
they had a custom source build of unreal
and epic needs to allow it
you cannot just build it yourself
epic has to say yes to it
celest musk
yea i think thats always the case if you want to redistribute an editor
slim atlas
Couldnt one technicly
release the game
and the project files
and then people use the project files with the full editor
to make new paks for the game?
celest musk
yes

i cannot find any ressources on how to make a custom editor either
the database where i store everything got changed and never bothered to fix it tho
so i dont think you can still open user generated levels
carmine frigate
🧠
its all storing locations and colors and stuff like that on a database by JSON
the level editor worked pretty good, just didnt have many object
you can import gltf at runtime too i think... im sure you can export i did that once
dunno about shader compilation

How are 6,6% of children in flanders growing up in a family where no one is employed, I already thought this was quite sad
but then in wallonia, it's friggin 16%
and in brussels it's almost 20%
how is that possible
this is all one and the same country
of course
too good
but still, it's the same social security for all three regions
I can see a higher number for brussels cause it has lots of immigrants who might have a harder time
but still damn
and wallonia is just lazy
this is what you get when there's barely any difference between being unemployed and doing a low-level job
I think it's just a really sad situation

just look up how much daycare costs for 5 days a week
well that could explain one parent not working
not both
and it's actually not that expensive here due to subsidies
carmine frigate
its cheaper to not work to not pay for daycare
proud jay
again, that argument makes sense for one parent not working
but these numbers are families where neither parent is employed
that is just setting the kid up for failure as well

Another good episode of masterful cat.
I'm on ep7
I relate a lot with main character
except I dont have a black cat to clean my mess before me
timber viper
I'm annoyed by the fact among all the animes I watch, this girl is the one that most similar to me 
proud jay
why are anime titles always a whole paragraph long
timber viper
because they're actually mangas
timber viper
it gives more context to help people consider reading the first chapter
so it's easier to hook people to your average manga that following trends in the industry
currently there is an ongoing "isekai" trend, where a average loser MC gets reincarnated in another world and become the strongest, a one-word title wouldnt help you consider reading that
proud jay
well I don't think I would consider reading that with a longer title either 😄
proud jay
the more mainstream animes have normal title length though
proud jay
the hamburger meat I bought expired on the 10th of August
have you considered not eating it anymore
warm bloom
I threw it away
worldly sapphire
What the hell
warm bloom
but I bought it only a few days ago
shit was like a week expired by the time I bought it
worldly sapphire
10th of september is still far a way as well
warm bloom
💀
worldly sapphire
so it can't be a mislabel either
timber viper
the more mainstream animes have normal title length though
because they have quality
they lead the trend
instead of following
proud jay
so you're saying these long title animes are garbage?
proud jay
for a weeb to call something mid, they must be trash to a normal person lol
timber viper
yeah
warm bloom
nah
you ever heard of
Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen
that's a good anime
good manga too
proud jay
at least that has a title and a subtitle
timber viper
for a weeb to call something mid, they must be trash to a normal person lol
mid ones often follow the tropes and do nothing unique
its just theme and characters different from others
or just still unique but poorly implemented
proud jay
because they are too long probably
warm bloom
I'd agree most of the long name ones are mid
not like I regret watching
but just like to fill time
waste my time away
proud jay
but there's youtube for that

only manga I read was jojo part6
timber viper
yeah I see that a lot
warm bloom
if you ever get to the point where you watch too much
proud jay
I read them a lot as a kid
warm bloom
and then get tired of waiting
you can go read everything
and then you don't really go watch anything anymore
cause you already know it
maybe one piece when they get the squares dude to draw squares
proud jay
yeah I had that with JoJo, I was hyped after watching part 5, then I read part 6
but then when it released as anime I didn't really care anymore
proud jay
maybe one piece when they get the squares dude to draw squares
who has time to get into 1000 episodes though

I binge watched it in less because it was only to like 600 at the time
