#

But yeah, it could play video

chrome gull
#

I'm talking about the width

#

it's wide

#

mine was shaped like a finger

empty dune
#

Yeah that's cause 4:3 aspect ratio

chrome gull
#

that's not what I'm trying to say lol

empty dune
#

I watched so many movies on it lol, it actually had more memory than the phone i had at that time

#

I plan to repair it someday, i found out that somehow, don't ask how, there are still spare parts for this floating on ebay

proud jay
#

movies about mp3 players?

#

I must've missed those in the cinema

empty dune
proud jay
#

oh

#

I thought on as in on the subject

empty dune
#

No it was the device playing the movies

#

Yeah, last i checked atleast

empty dune
#

Which was a couple years ago

chrome gull
#

did it have subtitle support 😭

empty dune
#

Yeah

#

It did

#

Surprisingly

chrome gull
#

WHAT

#

TF

empty dune
#

It was really neat little thing

chrome gull
#

noice dude

empty dune
#

If i can somehow charge it, im pretty sure it'll still power up

chrome gull
#

you don't have its adaptor?

errant raven
#

What type of charger does it take

empty dune
#

This is like 1.5 decades old, im lucky i have it at all

empty dune
empty dune
#

Very wide

#

Looks like a micro usb stretched wide like 5 times

chrome gull
#

I mean the whole thing doesn't even look that wide

errant raven
#

Does it look like a anorexic hdmi port?

chrome gull
#

OH WAIT I HAD A TABLET WITH A SIMILAR PORT

empty dune
#

Yeah it does

empty dune
#

Heh, that looks like it

#

Probably

errant raven
#

Surprised it's not a usb type mini b port

empty dune
#

Yeah same

errant raven
#

It would've been a better design choice

proud jay
#

how do you prevent cables from bunching up in a back pack

errant raven
#

Rubber bands

proud jay
#

or am I the only one carrying around 8 different kinds of cable

empty dune
#

Probably some sony proprietory bullshit

empty dune
errant raven
errant raven
#

Rate this pic I photoshopped for this guy

#

with help from ai

empty dune
errant raven
#

But the background is kakashi using 1000 years of death on naruto

#

Which is 100% better

empty dune
#

Ive never watched naruto

errant raven
#

Ok wlel

#

Basically, thousand years of death is just ramming your finger up your opponent's asshole

#

Also referred to as secret finger jutsu

empty dune
#

I got threatened with something called chidori if i didn't agree to be this girl's hinata a couple days ago

errant raven
#

Either you shove your finger up their anus or you strike their tailbone really hard

empty dune
#

I decided it wasn't wise to find out what a chidori is the hard way

errant raven
#

In real life, it's just a taser

empty dune
#

Lol

errant raven
#

Chidori is just a RIP off of rasengan

#

Kakashi created chidori when attempting to learn rasengan, he couldnt do it because he didn't have wind chakra, so he used lightning

empty dune
#

Isn't Kakashi the kirby of naruto?

errant raven
#

Kinda

empty dune
#

Copy other people's powers?

errant raven
#

Theres a lot of people he cant actually copy

#

Because for some reason they stopped using hand signs

empty dune
#

Naruto is just wild

#

Tbf im not really an anime guy

errant raven
#

I like bleach more than naruto

empty dune
#

I think ive watched like 10, total, mostly as a kid

errant raven
#

Junpforce was an amazing game, but they could've done a better job with the story

empty dune
#

The one i remember the most is area 88 and zeta gundam

#

Oh and Cardcaptor sakura lmao

errant raven
#

I remember a lot of shows

#

I can remember things from 1-14 years ago but ask me what I did an hour ago and I wont know

empty dune
#

Im a mess at remembering things across the board

#

I struggle with names the most lmao

errant raven
#

Probably because what I did 1-14 years ago that I remember are more memorable and impactful than what i did an hour ago

empty dune
#

Not nicknames but actual names

errant raven
#

Names and faces are easy for me to remember

#

Remembering numbers and science stuff is harder and requires reading/watching it 3 times or more

empty dune
#

You remember misty's psyduck from pokémon indigo league? Doesn't remember anything until you hit it on the head a few times?

#

That's me

#

Im that psyduck

errant raven
#

I'd hate to be a psyduck

#

Especially Misty's psyduck

#

Bitch was abusive

empty dune
#

Lmao

#

I think i stopped watching the pokemon anime in gen 2

#

Cause the trio fully split up

errant raven
#

Look at this abuse

empty dune
#

Which was like, goddamn, 20 years ago

errant raven
#

Making him run while they ride on a jeep

#

I hate pokemon

empty dune
#

That psyduck was OP as hell though

#

If you hit it on the head enough times

empty dune
errant raven
#

I get depressed thinking about pokemon

empty dune
#

Why

errant raven
#

when scarlet and violet came out my friend let me borrow his switch because I'd sit at his house on it for 8 hours hatching eggs non stop for shinies

wooden wing
#

I'm curious regarding Multi-Process Cook in the new UE5.3: why is it needed to run in a separate process? Distributed was already a thing with swarm if I remember correctly, why not just multithreading? What's the added value of multi-process?

errant raven
#

So when scarlet and violet released I grinded 70 hours on scarlet for living dex, 10 hours on violet for the exclusives

empty dune
errant raven
#

Got shiny charm, grinded out salty herbs and shiny hunted for 500 hours total

#

I was 70% done with a living shiny dex

empty dune
#

Scarlet and violet was gen 9,right?

errant raven
#

Yes

empty dune
#

What's a living shiny dex

empty dune
#

I know what a shiny dex is

errant raven
#

Where you have every pokemon in the game in numerical pokedex order

#

All my competitive pokemon were shiny

#

And fully trained

#

I caught extra shinies to give away to people

empty dune
#

So why the hate

#

Sounds about right

errant raven
#

My friend got shot and had to move, took his switch with him. So I sold all my shinies for $8

empty dune
#

He got what

errant raven
#

Shot

empty dune
#

Jesus

#

Is he okay??

errant raven
#

Yes

empty dune
#

Fucking hell

#

Wasnt expecting that

errant raven
#

I gave him my shiny mew two I caught in sword and shield as a get well present

#

He wanted my shiny event entei and suicune too

#

He does have them, they're on my pokemon home. Which is still on his switch

empty dune
#

Is this murica? I can't imagine any other place where people randomly get shot

#

Well, except for the various other countries that are famous for having people randomly get shot

errant raven
#

Yeah merica

#

The guys who did it were from Charlotte

#

Lots of shootings happen there. They were MS-13 members

#

Could see the tattoos in their mug shots

empty dune
#

Im assuming that's a gang

errant raven
#

Mexican gang

#

Very brutal

#

State is infested with bloods crips gangster disciples and MS-13

#

Wilmington beach is practically crip beach

empty dune
#

i have no idea what a crip is and i think id like to keep it that way

chrome gull
#

lmao

errant raven
#

I still have pics of my shiny babies

#

Wurm and Krab were my favorites. They're solid blue shinies, very pretty

#

Also got #1 targeted shiny in the game

empty dune
#

man i dont have the patience to shiny hunt

#

i just take what i get like the pleb i am

errant raven
#

Shiny hunting in scarlet and violet is a joke

errant raven
#

Nice terrain

chrome gull
#

you didn't read the headline, did you?

errant raven
#

Starfield is just a skyrim update in disguise

#

Yeah fuck labradors

chrome gull
#

what

#

what'd they do to you

errant raven
#

Bethesda has spoken

chrome gull
#

😭???

regal pecan
#

Dogmeat does not approve.

chrome gull
#

indeed

errant raven
#

I dont think labradors are found in that kind of climate

#

Naturally, in the wild

chrome gull
#

the game has like a 1000 planets lol

#

earth included

errant raven
#

But earth is the only confirmed place where labradors are found

#

Unrealistic to find a labrador on titan or other rocky celestial bodies

#

Props to bethesda for being realistic in games for once

#

I'll miss noclipping via sprinting into a surface with a wooden plate in my face

chrome gull
#

it's also unrealistic to FTL between multiple planets but here we are 😭

errant raven
#

It's not unrealistic for that

#

We just dont have the technology to do so yet

empty dune
regal pecan
#

Dog in a spacesuit <-- Must have features of 2023

chrome gull
errant raven
#

Isnt the game set in the future

#

When we do have that technology

empty dune
#

yes, so is it really that big of a stretch that one of the favourite pets of humans in general would also have spread to other planets along with us?

chrome gull
#

if we invent FTL then surely we can preserve fucking Labradors

empty dune
#

there was no reason to make doggos extinct

errant raven
#

Lack of food too supply the dogs

regal pecan
#

Admittedly cats are more convenient for spaceships but that won't stop anyone when there's a dozen planets you can breathe on.

errant raven
#

Its added unnecessary weight

#

That can be better used for food for humans and other human necessities

regal pecan
#

The adoring fan is unnecessary weight.

chrome gull
#

doesn't mean you just wipe an entire species that is beloved to humans

errant raven
#

Bethesda will add dogs in eventually

empty dune
#

my starter ship can hold 400 kg of cargo and shuttle it across the galaxy effortlessly in starfield. i think it can carry a 15 kg doggo

chrome gull
#

modders will

errant raven
#

Obviously

#

Most of skyrims content that kept it alive is mods

#

Same with fallout 4

errant raven
#

Yes

empty dune
errant raven
#

I will admit I did duplicate giants toes and daedra hearts to an extent just like that

#

Also iron ore

empty dune
#

did you also teleport bread for three days straight?

errant raven
#

To transmute and level up some magic skills

#

I miss skyrim

#

I miss my 12k base damage wooden toy sword with 8000 shock damage and 8000 burn damage

errant raven
empty dune
#

you monster

errant raven
#

How does that make me a monster

errant raven
#

Forget starfield, why is there no open world star trek game

#

That's a mmo

#

I mean in terms like no mans sky

regal pecan
#

Ambitious and would compete with ST:O

errant raven
#

Itd be fun

#

A open-galaxy survival-isk star trek game

fleet tangle
#

Trek Star with counsellor Pak Choi.

pearl elk
#

sounds like another romance simulator

errant raven
#

One of these arent like the others

brittle holly
unborn lotus
#

Starfield definitely is a bethesda game, a little overwhelming and a little boring so far

dusky bobcat
#

I got a hard crash while creating my avatar😅

#

No idea it is OOM or not enough vram.

empty dune
#

Im still standing, YEAH YEAH YEAH

empty dune
# unborn lotus

a glorious start to your career of intergalactic warcrimes!

errant raven
#

Actually, pluto is cold shit

#

Yes, dw. Itll be fine

proud jay
errant raven
#

I'm glad pluto is a dwarf planet

proud jay
#

why

median wraith
#

Yes it will run at least one single shader compiler

worldly sapphire
#

Dear Epic, I am very sorry for all of the crash reports I am submitting this morning

proud jay
#

I forgive you

median wraith
#

I love the comments of Epic

#

" // tuned for Athena_Terrain. Much higher than this and you can get above the storm clouds
DroneMaxAltitude = 50000.f;"

#

That's a fortnite reference ?

worldly sapphire
#

Hah I guess

#

I wonder how much of Fortnite trickled down to Unreal Engine and vice versa

median wraith
#

so far I didn't had any crash

#

but issues with houdini and such

#

I got more issues with the launcher freezes tbh

unreal ether
proud jay
#

no

#

do it yourself

#

preferrably in Verse

unreal ether
#

:(

median wraith
#

man all the channels looks super low res on 5

#

1440p base color looks like 720p or less

proud jay
#

ever wanted to see a guy singing stairway to heaven in reverse, in reverse?

#

but he sung it in reverse

#

and then reversed it

#

so it should be the "original"

unreal ether
#

I'm still not sure where I stand on people that can speak in reverse.

Are they robots, aliens, demons, or mythical creatures

Brotherhood of steel logo, how nice

white oxide
proud jay
#

I think it's just a hand

unborn lotus
white oxide
#

i thought it was the bethesda logo

white oxide
#

"i wont fight you"

#

tbh that was an outstandingly good episode about communication

white oxide
#

"were so fcking dead"

errant raven
#

Yes

pearl elk
#

best cutscene ever, I just threw a grenade and then the bad guy was gonna monologue and boom hahaha

#

more games need the option for violence when someone is excessively monologuing

white oxide
#

yeah i like that in fallout 4 just move away and shoot

pearl elk
#

That did get me in trouble in Fallout 3, I accidently punched the sheriff

white oxide
#

thats what quicksaves are for

pearl elk
#

I just rolled with it, ending up stripping most of the world of ammo by dealing with the consequences lol

white oxide
#

HAHA

#

when the BOS commander in 4 went on a speal about how synths arent human (knowing dance) i straight up shot him with of all things, kelloggs pistol

#

if only there were irony bonuses in fallout 4, killing synths with kelloggs pistol might be one

pearl elk
#

ahh this explains why Starfield runs pretty good on my rig, its using all 16 cores

worldly sapphire
#

It uses all cores?

#

Next you'll be telling me that physics are no longer linked to FPS

pearl elk
#

I have no idea if they use substepping or not

#

I just saw alot of CPU benchmarks but the focus was on frequency not core counts

worldly sapphire
#

Is there still any jankiness left

#

That was half the charm in Bethesda games

pearl elk
#

bit hard to remove the jankies when your whole engine is jank lol

worldly sapphire
pearl elk
#

rebuilt it on the jankiest of foundations 😛

worldly sapphire
#

Callback to the tram hat

#

(though I do personally think it's an absolutely genius solution)

median wraith
#

Meanwhile this is an awesome scene and art, this isn't spanish by any mean, but since the person that made the original art speak spanish welp

#

I didn't had any crash so far tbh

#

Wait, why do you use different systems ?

median wraith
#

does Vulkan works fine now ?

dim ruin
#

Mortal Combat 1 presales starting at $139.99. Thats crazy

#

Warner Bros really squeezing that cloth dry

median wraith
#

says 70€ in steam

#

and premium 95€

dim ruin
#

I think they're doing the star wars naming thing. full disclosure I don't know the story with this MC. I'm more of a Tekken guy

median wraith
#

damm

#

My biggest fault back in the days were to edit the engine on each update and lost the content between updates aside from spend a lot of time on it

#

almost about 10 years ago the engine went release, damm I had 20 like not that much time ago kappa

#

Well, will keep it as it comes for now

#

Didn't even used UE5 at all, and basically I feel like a 90 years old person trying game engines for first time with all this new things

white oxide
#

though using a crappy old engine saved them a crap ton of money

#

and it did give us a level of expectation for their games

#

instead of "is the new setup gonna be shit and the engine broken"

the engine is already broken always was
how they used the breaks to advantage is what sells it
and how this game with the same engine differs from the previous game

errant raven
#

It's nice having sr 71 and bowling for soup

sweet rose
#

Is there a 5.4 on the roadmap?

errant raven
#

Look at the roadmap

#

Ue5 has a roadmap?

sweet rose
#

Yes

#

I forgot the link

errant raven
#

All I see is 5.3 and down to ue4

sweet rose
#

Yeah

#

Imagine if they announce 5.4

timber viper
#

@fleet tangle

I liked it.
its a bit too wholesome

#

everything went too perfectly

fleet tangle
#

Lol

timber viper
#

especially at the ending

fleet tangle
#

I don't even remember how it ended.

timber viper
#

||she danced on the scene with cosplay and convinced obsessed yandere fangirl to attend to the concert||

fleet tangle
#

But, man, the brows on her.

timber viper
#

#

her dreams about wedding ||both of them|| was also.. uh..

#

fleet tangle
#

Hehe

#

It's fine. They get one eyebrow each.

timber viper
#

lmaoo

#

stop

fleet tangle
#

Did you watch that one I mentioned btw?

#

Oshi no Ko

timber viper
#

not yet

#

i know its a very good one though

fleet tangle
#

The movie intro thing is excellent. The series is a solid 8.

timber viper
#

its from creator of kaguya sama so I expect nothing less 😄

#

right now I'm watching "Monster" and Fate/Zero

#

I'm at the middle of the both

fleet tangle
#

I can't get on with Fate/Zero.

#

I watched one series and hten, apparently, I had to watch another series which is the asme thing, but slightly different and I just cba.

timber viper
#

I only watch it to fuel my shounen desire

fleet tangle
#

So now I've just consigned it all to the "cba" bin.

#

What's Monster?

timber viper
#

its a classic

#

a dark anime

#

with 77 eps

fleet tangle
#

Ah.

#

It's on my plan to watch!

timber viper
#

i enjoy it alot, but prepare for very slow pacing

#

even the most exciting moments are very slow 😅

#

but its still great

fleet tangle
#

Dr. Kenzou Tenma, an elite neurosurgeon recently engaged to his hospital director's daughter, is well on his way to ascending the hospital hierarchy. That is until one night, a seemingly small event changes Dr. Tenma's life forever. While preparing to perform surgery on someone, he gets a call from the hospital director telling him to switch patients and instead perform life-saving brain surgery on a famous performer. His fellow doctors, fiancée, and the hospital director applaud his accomplishment; but because of the switch, a poor immigrant worker is dead, causing Dr. Tenma to have a crisis of conscience.

#

This?

timber viper
#

yep

#

its too realistically executed for an anime

#

even noses are appearent

#

no moe stuff sad

proud jay
#

man, warranty is the best thing ever

#

already replaced my headset of 1.5 years for free

#

now my ereader had a tiny piece of the touch screen not reacting

#

got a whole new one for free

fleet tangle
timber viper
#

its not!! xD

fleet tangle
#

Damn, it's not on CR or HD.

timber viper
#

i watch anime to escape reality

timber viper
#

only netflix afaik

fleet tangle
#

Oh.

#

Did you watch any of those gambling suspense anime?

timber viper
#

like red-dressing school uniforms and black haired girl?

fleet tangle
#

Er no

timber viper
#

kakegurui

fleet tangle
#

Akagi or erm

#

The other one made by the same people

timber viper
#

First time hearing, so probably didnt watch

fleet tangle
#

It's very good

#

Kaiji Ultimate Survivor

#

The second season of that is pretty bad, but the first is great.

timber viper
#

this didn't interest me much

#

what did you like about it?

fleet tangle
#

Just the whole suspense factor.

timber viper
#

oh i see

fleet tangle
#

The narrator works overtime too lol

timber viper
#

yeah its worth it then

#

added to my list

fleet tangle
#

Also

#

If you ever wanted to know how to play Mahjong, Akagi is the best tutorial.

aww man, what'd I miss?

You should add Undead Murder Farce as well. It' s really good. Definitely wait for the season to be over first, though. Fuckers do major cliffhangers every episode!

I need a show to fill the void that RIck and Morty leaves between seasons

i was considering putting some plugin on MP for free

#

and then epic asked for all that tax stuff in the sign up -_-

#

can't they just postpone that poop until i ask for money? 😄

broken sigil
#

well in my case it's an 80$ plugin from like 2017, so I'm gonna make this a free update to that plugin

#

So whoever is using it is gonna get a huge upgrade

celest musk
#

you got one sell? 😄

broken sigil
# celest musk you got one sell? 😄

I'm in contact with a few devs and projects that are using it, but not clue how many are using it in total
It did have quite a lot of sales when I released it 😅

#

So the goal of this update to it is to kinda "revive" it rather than make money from it

#

Want to get it up to my current "standards"

#

because it's basically left at what it was at in 2017

celest musk
#

yea probably a pita if you want to keep it updated with engine updates and have to deal with your code which might have been not the best back then

now, can it read your mind, or not?

Find something noxious so that your cat learns not to eat strange plants.

its a cat and he is orange

he is lucky to have 5 total braincells

this cat also hates math flashcards

#

but like a VERY SPECIFIC one

#

specifically 8x4

empty dune
#

What's a math flashcard

white oxide
#

not 4x8 just 8x4

white oxide
empty dune
#

I shee

#

Never saw this before

white oxide
#

its a good training tool and we use them on me and our kid (me back in school)

#

and this cat EVERY SINGLE TIME we use them whenever the 8x4 card leaves our hand she goes insane and chomps it

#

but ONLY that card

#

none of the other cards

#

it has DOZENS of holes in it from her teeth

empty dune
#

Lol

#

That's funny

#

My doggos like wired earphones

#

And by like, i mean like to chew

#

But only a specific brand

#

Took me a while to figure it out but once i bought another brand, they stopped chewing it up

#

Haven't chewed any earphones in over a year now

proud jay
#

maybe that brand makes their wires out of dogfood

pearl elk

Apparently Dieter owes Galbank money so I have to go find him and make him pay up

I am very confused

empty dune
proud jay

#

@proud jay bg3 suddenly started to feel boring

#

i gave a 3 days break and now i cant enjoy it sad

proud jay
#

oof

#

I have that sometimes

#

but then sometimes there's mood again

#

sometimes it comes if you play for like an hour

#

did you finish it yet?

#

you were in act 3 already right?

timber viper
#

I'm still at the beginning of act3, but like every other act at the beginning enemies are too OP

proud jay
#

I'm still at last light inn lol

#

haven't played much

timber viper
proud jay
#

no

timber viper
#

ooh you're missing tons of fun 😄

proud jay
#

that one chick that worships her though

timber viper
#

shadowheart?

#

she worships shar, not her

proud jay
#

no no

#

the chick with white hair

#

that is then abducted

timber viper
#

ahh right

proud jay
#

she was hot

empty dune
timber viper
#

did you let her abducted lol

proud jay
#

I hope she's not dead

timber viper
proud jay
timber viper
#

nooo what have yo udone lmao

proud jay
#

idk how the fuck I was supposed to save her lol

timber viper
#

you went with worst route burn

timber viper
#

crushes the other dude

#

and demons were easy

proud jay
#

she was dead before it was her turn lmao

#

well "dead"

#

guess I got unlucky

timber viper
empty dune
#

i still havent found ciri lol

timber viper
#

27hrs is too early to find ciri

proud jay
timber viper
#

finding yennefer > finding ciri

empty dune
timber viper
empty dune
#

my friends found ciri by like 15 hours

#

huh

proud jay
#

idk if it is 27 hours

empty dune
#

okay then

proud jay
#

but it does take a while

timber viper
#

well dont go yolo on main campaign

proud jay
#

depends on what you do ti guess

timber viper
#

do side quests

#

or you'll regret it 😄

proud jay
#

well I regret the selune chick dying

#

but I legit couldn't do anything about it

empty dune
#

i think last i played, i finished that griffin fight with ciri

proud jay
#

and then everyone turned evil

#

and the guy that is supposed to help karlach died lol

#

so now she's fucked too

timber viper
#

bruh

#

i'd rollback to a save

proud jay
#

nah

timber viper
#

you literally went with worst route ever

proud jay
#

I live with consequences

timber viper
#

i went with best ending for act2 (by luck)

proud jay
#

and would probably endin same shit lol

timber viper
#

nope

proud jay
#

like I said, I legit had no option

#

she was insta dead

#

should've just given her up and become evil 😔

#

I mean, the guy had wings

#

I could've had wings

empty dune
#

man, the one thing i absolutely hate about bg3 is how they made minthara so unrewarding

proud jay
#

I killed her

empty dune
#

she's supposed to be the reward for an evil playthrough but you literally lose 4 companions by trying to get her

proud jay
#

only room for 1 drow in my camp

empty dune
#

so its a net loss of 3 storylines

empty dune
proud jay
#

means she's weak

#

deserves to die

empty dune
#

also dont like that fact that every class doesnt have a companion

#

i mean you can get hirelings

#

but not the same

proud jay
#

you can respec them though

empty dune
#

yeah but that breaks their stories

proud jay
#

yea

#

but there's a lot of classes

empty dune
#

15 classes, iirc

#

bg3 has 9 companions

#

10 if you count the cut companion

#

could have just added 5 more

proud jay
#

I think you underestimate the effort of adding them

empty dune
#

i mean didnt have to be at launch, id be fine with a dlc

#

but they dont have plans as of now

#

no concrete plans anyway

proud jay
#

you can make a mod if you want it that bad

empty dune
#

i would if i was skilled enough lol

proud jay
#

also, swen already said he didn't like that they worked on the same game for 6 years

#

so idk how far they wanna keep dragging it out

median wraith
empty dune
#

like i said, didnt have to be at launch, just a "hint hint nudge nudge maybe moar companions in the future uwu" would have been enough for me

proud jay
#

that is still continuing development though

#

just post launch

empty dune
median wraith
#

oh lord

empty dune
median wraith
#

I just see this on a trailer, damm, that's bigger than the house

empty dune
#

and the hirelings do come with some pregenerated stories so not that bad

proud jay
#

they will probably do a lot of fixes, and then some improvements

#

just like they did with DOS2

#

to make the "divine" edition

#

or however they called it

#

I wouldn't expact any major dlc to drop on it

empty dune
#

im pretty sure theyll add the 10th cut companion

#

but yeah more than that, i dont expect more

#

which is why im a bit disappointed

proud jay
#

I mean

#

you're already getting quite a lot for your money

empty dune
#

oh no doubt about that

pearl elk
median wraith
proud jay
#

like renting

#

but worse

empty dune
#

oi, i played kotor 1 okay, im not THAT young

proud jay
#

kotor, the city in montenegro?

pearl elk
#

Who needs completed games when most players wont finish them anyway 😛

empty dune
#

knights of the old republic you heathen

proud jay
#

mate

#

that's 2003

empty dune
#

no, because kotor 2 and swtor was a thing XD

pearl elk
proud jay
#

not that long ago either

#

why were you not gaming in the womb

#

what's your excuse

median wraith
#

idk but I don't like super long games, after 10h of linear history is enough for me, for many reasons, a different thing is if you can replay the game and have no brainer gamemodes

proud jay
#

but some gems are nice enough to play longer

pearl elk
empty dune
#

i mean techincally the jedi knight storyline in swtor is kotor 3, the devs confirmed it a long time ago

proud jay
#

ghost of tsushima for example was good enough to play to completion, but not to play ng+ immediately after

#

elden ring was pretty good too

#

although I quit at the last boss lol

#

even botw was really good but still I stopped playing at some point and only finished 3 years later lol

median wraith
#

idk at some point I feel like... okay when this history that's starting to repeat itself will finish ? I have to do something else with my life already

empty dune
#

ive finished a grand total of 3 games in my gaming journey. They were Mass effect 1, 2 and 3

median wraith
#

yeah I were more interested on the graphics of that game maybe

#

In Sound Mind were the last interesting history I played

pearl elk
proud jay
#

yup

#

they dilute content to make it longer

empty dune
pearl elk
#

Let me teach you how to play survival template for the 98732423th time... Let me show you how to grind from a Kei car to a super car for the 4835934857938579384th time

median wraith
#

I played like 60h Dying Light I think, but for example that game have secondary histories and you can play with friends etc, idk its diverse in that way

#

if were about the main history I cannot

#

feel like a job at some point you have to complete

pearl elk
#

my favourite is the "let player pick up useless junk to make it seem like we are an indepth game"

proud jay
#

is that you assassin's creed?

pearl elk
#

I much prefer systems which actually have some gameplay to em, not just picking up and dropping items cuz woooo physics in 2023

empty dune
#

this is the game i played the most. i still havent completed the last two acts 😂

median wraith
#

usually this days the progression kills the game, and like on Dying Light for example at some point you have a rope so you can grab the walls like spiderman and makes 0 sense for the game context so it converts itself into Saint Row

proud jay
#

speaking of, spider man miles morales was great

median wraith
#

remaster or morales, whats better ?

proud jay
#

idk, haven't played any other spider man games

pearl elk
median wraith
median wraith
#

is the soft version of Just Cause

proud jay
#

I just bought it cause there were not many ps5 games on launch lol

#

but turns out it was really great

#

also just bought bloodborne cause it was a 2+1 action

#

turned out to be one of my favorites

timber viper
#

I'm hyped for this

#

might ditch steam deck and get lenovo

empty dune
#

steam deck isnt even officially available here

timber viper
#

its sold out here

pearl elk
empty dune
#

so i have to choose between asus and lenovo

#

anyone else hyped for that ubisoft star wars game?

median wraith
#

there is a new game ?

empty dune
#

man now that EA doesnt have sole hold on the Star wars video gaming sector anymore, cant wait for all the cool shit the other studios come up with

empty dune
median wraith
#

Ubisoft ask you 4 times in row to allow access on Windows each new update since 1 year is super cool

empty dune
#

there's also the new quantic dream star wars game

#

havent heard from it in a while though

pearl elk
#

Starwars Creed: Tatooine

empty dune
#

N

proud jay
#

what is this, a movie?

median wraith
empty dune
pearl elk
#

must admit playing Starfield is alot like Fallout with the retro futurism, it makes floppy disk noises, old modem noises and all that sort of shit. Feels like I went back to when Star Trek was on TV before the movies

proud jay
#

it does fit perfectly on my screen

#

but I know I'm the exception

pearl elk
proud jay
empty dune
proud jay
#

I don't own any stars

empty dune
#

STAR WARS

pearl elk
#

I havent been able to take a cinematic trailer seriously after this 😛

proud jay
pearl elk
#

thats the joke though right

proud jay
#

I need to buy it now

#

not really though

empty dune
#

dammit there's not enough R emojis to spell order 66

proud jay
#

I hate these kinds of games

#

well hate is a strong word

#

this trailer is also a joke

#

literally this time though

pearl elk
#

I didnt think it was that bad, I get bored of open world games no matter who makes em tbh

median wraith
pearl elk
#

Star Citizen aint a game its a full time job 😛

empty dune
median wraith
#

Titanfall 2 is really good

#

And the history etc

#

problem is the servers are dead here at least

pearl elk
#

Without Titanfall then Respawns Jedi wouldnt have wall running 😛

median wraith
#

Apex legends came with all those techs after all

median wraith
proud jay
#

by history, do you mean story?

pearl elk
proud jay
#

the Jedi falle order was pretty nice

median wraith
#

Titanfall and Apex are Source engine

proud jay
#

not best game ever

#

but decent enough to play

median wraith
proud jay
#

I actually finished that one

pearl elk
#

imagine if different engines did use completely different types of math, that would be hilarious

empty dune
#

fallen order was pretty damn good

proud jay
#

might buy the sequel if it's in deep sale

empty dune
#

sequel is better from what i heard

pearl elk
#

Ubisoft were gonna make a space pirate monkey game once upon a time

median wraith
empty dune
#

i didnt even see that lol

pearl elk
proud jay
#

that's just the investor company description of press kit though

#

strange to put it in youtube description for sure

empty dune
#

some intern didnt intern properly

#

is this what they mean when they say unreal engine is in a class of its own?

pearl elk
#

What if I told you the vectors names are only there for our benefit 😛

pearl elk
#

Lets not forget UE doesnt even get its own conventions right, thats why Manne is still rotated 90 degrees wrong 😹

median wraith
#

And remember the forward vector is different between the character animator and the blueprints

#

also between the front viewport and forward

pearl elk
#

front is only forward if youre facing the same direction 😛

empty dune
#

switch to naval direction conventions

pearl elk
#

I cant work out which way is north in any engine

empty dune
#

this joke flew over my head

median wraith
#

oh yeah at the first when started using this noticed all this inconsistent things and after much conversation I give up

#

Fun fact is

#

they moved the characters to false forward

#

because no one of the forward cameras in the editor are forward but sideview

pearl elk
#

As a 3dsmax user I blame Maya 😛

median wraith
#

imagine the character editor open with the camera rotated by default

#

that could be the easy way around in the life, but you don't want that

pearl elk
median wraith
#

they do already

#

I mean Epic in the docs tells you todo it

pearl elk
#

Do you do everything Epic tells you to do?

empty dune
#

....youre not supposed to do the first part?

pearl elk
#

Thats cuz you used UCLASS in a USTRUCT

empty dune
#

i am serious

#

wtf

pearl elk
#

Even though Epic still has them in the source

empty dune
#

i stg

pearl elk
#

Lol they want you to think Lyra wasnt written in the dark ages

median wraith
pearl elk
#

shove some game feature plugin in there, ship it

median wraith
#

Lyra is good example, could be interesting also to have minimal game example too

#

feels like there are a lot of sub projects in the same thing

empty dune
#

please write a cpp best practices blog for us plebs cause this folklore method of piecing together ue5 knowledge from a hundred different sources is driving me insane 😭

#

i should have read that instead of closing it

#

i actually had it open in my browser for like 3 months

#

but never got around to reading it as i have a problem with concentration when it comes to reading large chunks of texts

pearl elk
#

my eyes they burn.... whats with the light theme

proud jay
empty dune
proud jay
#

even my blog is in light theme

median wraith
#

about the Timelines I'm still making a system to face-in-out the camera in C++, really cool nightmare

pearl elk
#

I have hue sync so all my lights turn to sun beams, I get literal radiation burn from white backgrounds 😛

median wraith
#

nice post

#

yep

pearl elk
#

is UE5.3 more or less buggy than 5.2 though?

proud jay
#

more or less

pearl elk
#

To be fair I use Substrate and other experimentals

median wraith
#

I do remember todo Async task for the music tool/game I did in order to load all the big data, but here I'm trying to acummulate it on the tick of the actor and store, you have examples of that on C++ 20 ?

#

yeah but I mean, for a basic lerp and state, you don't need the coroutine maybe, but the coroutine could be more clear

pearl elk
#

reverse tick is where its at

median wraith
#
            
AsyncTask( ENamedThreads::AnyThread, [&, _OnLoadComplete, _AutoPlay, playlistIndex, trackIndex]() {
AsyncTask( ENamedThreads::GameThread, [&, _OnLoadComplete, _AutoPlay, playlistIndex, trackIndex]() {
}
if ( _OnLoadComplete.IsBound() ) {_OnLoadComplete.Execute();
}
} );
} );
#

used to have this

#

GT-GT ?

#

I think because there was 2 logics on each bracket

#

so technically this does the same function of the AsyncTask but isn't as heavy right ?

#

on Coro you don't need to pass the DECLARE_DYNAMIC_DELEGATE ?

#

In my case I had, because otherwaise is lost of don't have access to

#

No, I mean the _OnLoadComplete

#

is a DECLARE_DYNAMIC_DELEGATE

#

on AsyncTask you have to pass it as data

#

well, that's interesting

pearl elk
#

What if Outer Worlds 2 uses coroutines 😹

median wraith
#

aside from AI or big entities loads or managers usually I don't use those tbh

#

are a nice resource for them

#

do the AsyncLoadObject even works ?

#

Like, I do remember for graphics those never worked on Quest etc

#

load it, once is done, put on the scene and everything explodes

#

but seems like textures and such contents aren't loaded until go to scene

#

damm I wish there was something todo it or some day I find the way

#

because Epic made a loader but is for generic assets you usually load

#

maybe you can load async a material ?

#

the assets manager is something I will revisit in the future

fervent wagon
#

Is ue5coro platform agnostic? (will it work on consoles/mobile)?

median wraith
#

should do as AsyncTask does

#

oh the plugin

fervent wagon
#

Thanks! I think I will start using it for scripting game logic in c++.

median wraith
#

meanwhile me using lerps...

#
    if (bOnCameraTransitionIn) {
        bOnCameraTransitionIn = !UCMainBlueprintFL::FLerpManaged(_Delta, CameraTransitionTimeIn, CameraTransitionTimeInCount, 1.0f);
        if (!bOnCameraTransitionIn) { // Called once
            bOnCameraTransitionIn = false;
            bOnCameraTransition = true;
        }
    }
#

yeah calling on tick all the time and acumulating, before I knew about this

pearl elk
#

the lerp sounds like the nerdiest dance move

median wraith
#

and isn't as bad as could has been before

empty dune
empty dune
median wraith
#

clearly way better tbh

empty dune
#

Lol

median wraith
#

wait, the time it takes the wait, is inside the LerpTheCamera() ?

pearl elk
empty dune
#

Ah okay (no idea who that is)

worldly sapphire
#

I got it but I have to admit that was a very niche joke

#

But a good one

pearl elk
#

sad times when famous lawmen are niche

#

I never stole a horse from anyone I didnt like

median wraith
#

@sand oxide sooo, now UE comes with C++20 as default, but the coroutines can be used directly ? Or need something like your plugin for implementation ?

#

makes sense, ty!

pearl elk
#

Your plugin works with BP and GAS doesnt it?

#

so what good is C++ coroutines then 😛

median wraith
#

GAS is something my brain cannot assimilate

pearl elk
#

I await my multithreaded masters

proud jay
median wraith
#

GAS name itself is kinda confusing I have to say, technically the login inside like the the state machine

#

shouldn't be named Gameplay State Machine ?

median wraith
#

nice tweet

#

wat

#

rather gameplay itself, right ?

#

No, I'm talking about the GAS concept itself

#

Ability can be confusing, also the fact the typical examples using GAS are games with spells don't help to it

#

so, some people end thinking that's some gameplay specific tool for RPG games

one to watch anime, one to read mangas and other to procrastinate instead of working

median wraith
#

this is new

#

all this years playing sniper games now pay off

pearl elk
#

You know what I find disturbing about these sorts of games, its this close up of the person talking to you. Does anyone really ever lean in close to service staff till they fill almost your entire field of view?

worldly sapphire
#

yes

pearl elk
#

Games definitely not made by socially anxious people

worldly sapphire
#

oh no, they are. It's just their fantasy

#

To not feel anxious when calling for a waiter

pearl elk
#

Its definitely not my fantasy to be stared at and gotten this close to

#

I mean theres talking to a waiter then theres him being so close his beard flakes are getting in my brie

pearl elk
#

pretty accurate

median wraith
#

can someone explain me

#

Why Epic does a duplication of VaultCache

tulip orbit
median wraith
#

one at ProgramData and aother at ProgramFiles x86

#

and copy the exact same files

#

so you download a project of 100GB

#

is taking 200GB of disk

median wraith
pearl elk
#

Why is the launcher in ProgramFiles x86 anyways

median wraith
#

idk tell me why

as long as it can survive without watter for maybe a day or 6 it will thrive

my desk is 6.5x2 ft and has a secondary element thats 3.3 x 2 foot

low light is also a requirement
