I didnt watch ep10 yet

[empty dune]

I stg

Kids these days

Smh

[timber viper]

I didnt even know about Evangelion until someone told me in this server last year

[fleet tangle]

Or was that the same episode?!

[timber viper]

Yuki found a new kitty

[fleet tangle]

It's very masterful.

[timber viper]

with that spoiled girl

on a cardbox

It was funny that grandma waited for kitty to grow like yuki lol

[fleet tangle]

Yeah! The reverse "cat finds human in a box" moment was very anime.

[fleet tangle]

Maybe they will!!

[timber viper]

lmao

true

[worldly sapphire]

were they alive or dead?

[empty dune]

*mumbles about how the young don't know culture and gundam and Evangelion and cowboy bebop and.... *

[fleet tangle]

Cowboy bebop was terrible. Fight me.

[timber viper]

I didnt watch cowboy bebop too

[fleet tangle]

You didn't miss much.

If I can binge-finish fate/zero I will finish mob psycho s3

but damn.. fate/zero is so boring

still trying to understand why its so popular in japan

[empty dune]

I never got the appeal of fate

[empty dune]

Ikr? My friend tried so hard to get me into it but it was just ???????

[timber viper]

I guess back at 2011 it was quite good

and since there are IRL Japan locations are drawn in the anime

but at 2023 its merely a decent anime

[empty dune]

Has anime quality gone up that much?

Oh what was that weird gundams powered by ||butts*x|| anime?

[timber viper]

More like doing something like fate/zero probably not a big deal anymore, at least you dont have to collab with 3 different insanely big anime studios

[empty dune]

I forgot the name, but it was really creepy

[timber viper]

I'm happy that I dont know what you're talking about 😄

[empty dune]

Good

Stay within the light of god

[timber viper]

each day I'm straying further away

[fleet tangle]

Mob psycho s2 and 3 just went downhill. S1 was great!

S3 was poop.

[empty dune]

Thats called joycon drift

[timber viper]

It seems like following the same pattern every season

"Mob is very wholesome and becomes god when you hurt him but he always forgives you"

[fleet tangle]

There's some fantastic donghua you should check out. Link Click is amazing.

[timber viper]

I'm not into donghua but your reference is strong enough to consider

[fervent wagon]

Is that overriding a native virtual cpp function?
How are bindings from cpp to c# made, in the cpp side?

[woven wing]

Good morning slackers!

[fleet tangle]

... Maybe.

The first season of the daily life of the immortal king is also pretty good.

Donghua go downhill so fast after the first season twice as bad as anime.

There was another Korean one...

That was good too

[proud jay]

soon we'll have to start an anime channel

[timber viper]

no

[fleet tangle]

The reason why Raeliana ended up at the Duke's Mansion

That was it.

[timber viper]

its Korean??

Its also a manhwa then?

[proud jay]

I have to scroll to much to skip this

[fleet tangle]

No idea tbh, eren.

Also lol. I failed to spell eren and my phone autocorrected it to weeb.

[timber viper]

lmao

[fleet tangle]

Korean anime is aeni apparently.

[timber viper]

turns out Raeliana was a webtoon

Koreans either do manhwa or webtoons

[fleet tangle]

Yeah.

Did you see raeliana?

[dusky kettle]

It's overriding the blueprint exposed event. So it'll be executed like C++ > C# > BP

The glue is made with reading from unreal reflection and translate that into c# code

[timber viper]

After mob s3, I will

[fleet tangle]

Link click is more worth it!!

[proud jay]

don't click on random links

[celest musk]

do it, dieter will pay

[slim atlas]

what quick to setup git solutions do you guys use?

i am looking for a platform where i can setup up space

and then with a tool

do version control on it

for unreal 🙂

[fluid bloom]

I use azure or whatever the MS git repo system is that doesn't have limits

for hosting that is

[slim atlas]

i dont want microsoft

[woven wing]

The best part about Unreal is not having to pay for heat in the winter

[fluid bloom]

well that's one less option

[woven wing]

Azure free tho

[slim atlas]

gitlab?

is a secure vault? so that only my teammembers can see right?

what client do i need for that?

can unreal connected to that directly?

its important that i am able to write revisions

i want to use tortuise

[woven wing]

I'm always afraid something is going to break using git in multiple places

[slim atlas]

laura is there a problem if team members use different git tools?

[woven wing]

Like UE has git, IDE has git, CLI, sourcetree

[slim atlas]

whats wrong with tortuise client

[woven wing]

And I can't help but swap around

[slim atlas]

kraken?

mhhh

i have experience with kraka tho

we will see

i take a nappy now

thanks

[woven wing]

It's more just me using different clients and afraid they'll somehow break something

Because the last commit was from my IDE, but this commit is from sourcetree, or something

That's a relief

[proud jay]

it would be sad if git was client dependent

we use like 5 different clients within our company

[timber viper]

hopefully none of them are github desktop

because that would be more sad

[woven wing]

Is that the one with "publish"

[timber viper]

When it comes to Git, I never know what I am doing

[timber viper]

Its like BG3, I hope to roll 20 to make my commits work

[woven wing]

I just pray I'm doing it right and once every few months I'll clone from my repo to see if it works

[proud jay]

nope

[proud jay]

this is why you need to use terminal

https://tenor.com/view/unlimited-power-star-wars-gif-10270127

[timber viper]

I'd need more than 3 brain cells for that

[proud jay]

it's not that hard though tbh

especially if you're working alone

you could just live with commit and push lol

oh and add of course before the commit

I use a combination of the terminal and vscode git integration

the vscode one is so much better than VS interface

especially for merging

and somehow also a lot faster

well I don't do much throught he UI

mainly adding or unstaging files

[timber viper]

How do you do this with commandline git:

I want to have individual descriptions in my files/changes, and then when the time comes I want to commit a single change with all files I wrote explanations for
Like if I changed FileA, and saved it to git somehow (not committed to local yet), then changed FileB and saved it too, but when I want to commit, that commit will contain both files but their change logs I wrote will also be combined to the commit message

[proud jay]

I'm not even sure I understand the question

isn't that just staging the files when you want and just commiting at once?

[timber viper]

you interpreted correctly

since I suck at Git I was not able to explain with terminology

[timber viper]

yes

but I wanted stack of stages

like stack per file

or stack per collection files

then all stacked stagings to commit

and their descriptions/titles are combined into that commit

[proud jay]

so just commiting and then squashing I guess

[timber viper]

Whats a "squash" is though

[proud jay]

it combines multiple commits into one

[fleet tangle]

Pumpkin?

[proud jay]

often used when merging a PR

to only have one PR commit

instead of polluting main with a lot of intermediate commits

[fleet tangle]

Lol

[proud jay]

why is there no pumpkin emoji

[fleet tangle]

Clearly people who make emojis are not fans of git.

[woven wing]

Someone needs to make gitmoji

[proud jay]

I only celebrate 9/11

sorry, I meant 11/9

yes

[woven wing]

I swear I can never find my repo on azure

I finally found it

If you're in the azure portal, devops organizations, and it should be in there

Or it will sign you out 9 times

Because that's what it was doing for me

[timber viper]

For some reason my coffee addiction triggered again

I cant prevent myself from refilling my cup each 2-3 hours

[broken sigil]

I used to drink coffee every day but never got addicted

I don't drink it at all anymore and it's not asking me either

[empty dune]

thats just September 11th for the rest of the normal world

[tulip orbit]

I used to drink lots of coffee. I still do, but I used to as well

[empty dune]

good news, you can now get caffeine from cup noodles

[clear dust]

I saw people posting intros saying they switched to Unreal because Unity did something. Does anyone feel like summing up what Unity might have done that was so bad?

[dusky kettle]

Introduced a fee for everyone installing your game

[celest musk]

people claim a lot of stuff, majority with serious projects and experience will stick with unity

[clear dust]

🤦‍♂️

[dusky kettle]

Many studios here in Stockholm will ditch Unity, including studios like Facepunch (makers of Rust) and a few more that I've seen.

for their next games

[empty dune]

probably only till the current dev cycle though

all depends on if they can actually properly detect unique installs like they claim

right now its "trust me bro"

[woven wing]

There's just too much unnecessary risk with Unity for absolutly no reason

[proud jay]

serious projects were already in unreal 👀

[celest musk]

i think you are always at risk of smth weird when depending on a 3rd party

[woven wing]

Reminds me of some interview with a developer on why he put his game on gamepass, if he wasn't going to make any money off sales. "Better to guarentee making 1 million than making 0-5million"

[clear dust]

Thanks. I don't wish anything bad on anyone, but I have been hoping my nephew would find a reason to switch from Unity to Unreal. It would be cool if we could work together on a project someday.

[woven wing]

He made a downhill bike game

[empty dune]

This is honestly the logic behind the epic exclusive deals imo

But most gamers are still "Epic exclusive bad epic made fortnite epic bad"

[proud jay]

there's some extra advantages to 6 month epic exclusive

I think it was like no royalties ever, even if your release on steam

[deep glen]

actually, many studios are jumping ship. Even some bigger AA/AAA titles, but they would never mention publicly. Additionally many schools/colleges etc that use unity will prolly also drop it.

[proud jay]

see larian was smart all along, they use their own engine

[woven wing]

Wuhunity for all of those eastern mobile games

[deep glen]

im wondering what the cities skylines 2 devs will do, as the game will be released quite soon

[empty dune]

wuhanity

[celest musk]

the thing is that some people say that the old TOS still apply for existing unity installations/subscriptions

[deep glen]

they actually removed that from their eula, even older ones.

[celest musk]

so i guess there might be some law suits because unity tries to change their own TOS in a sneaky way

[deep glen]

and wiped the repo with all the old eulas

[woven wing]

Everyone stealing ideas from WotC these days

[empty dune]

It's not so much a matter of risk but a matter of trust. I don't like it one bit though, unreal needed a competitor, not a unalive enthusiast

[celest musk]

which doesn't make it more legal 😄

but i guess, thats something to figure out for actual independent lawyers

and not Unity "trust me bro" Software Inc

[empty dune]

You're overdue

[timber viper]

so which title you're working on

[deep glen]

NDA

[timber viper]

looks like a nice game name

is it shooter

[deep glen]

would be funny to name a game "NDA"

[woven wing]

Non-Destructable Animals

[deep glen]

would you be braking NDA if you mentioned NDA

[woven wing]

Call it "I can't say because of NDA"

[empty dune]

you can tell us! (youll just have to fry our computers after that but its okay, who doesnt love the sweet release of death?)

[median wraith]

"man i sure love peasant tears"

[merry vector]

That was gold

[empty dune]

oh also, incase you didnt know, there's was a game that made you pay money for bullets

world of tanks

you had to pay a dollar for EACH round

for the peasants, there was garbage free ammo

you can still buy rounds for dollars but now you can also use peasant money to buy the premium rounds

[empty dune]

a tank could carry maybe 30 rounds a match. so thats 30 dollars every game you play. it was whale paradise

[median wraith]

that's the first time I see this kind of sub channel

Got a new thing to sit at my desk alongside ue4 manny 😄

true, i could make a version with manny acting as atlas carrying the coffin

i made the meme a few years back after unity changed their stuff back in 2020 and kind of forgot about it until this week lol

i couldn't find the original font unfortunately

i could

[broken sigil]

Horizon forbidden west apparently coming to PC

[versed crown]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9scVNFiaWU

this is the original

still have the project somewhere lol

i found my max files for the coffin but i didn't want to go the effort of cutting the letters out

¯_(ツ)_/¯

but yeah, someone posted a coffin dance anim on reddit long time ago and i added the coffin after unity did their thing in 2020

I'm hoping unity does a U-turn on this latest stuff as unreal kind of needs the competition and we're not going to see that from Crytek

yeah, the trust is broken thoroughly and completely

[vital steeple]

And if my iq is below 17?

[versed crown]

can't really threaten an industries livelihood in such a manner and then say oops as though nothing happened

Godot seems like a good alternative but like blender it has a long way to go before really filling the shoes of the establishment

[fervent wagon]

I like that Flax is getting an influx of new people as well. That engine is my 2nd choice after Unreal.

[versed crown]

I did look into flax a few years back, looked like an unusual mix between unity and unreal

was kind of interesting to see

that's very curious then

yeah

chicken and egg situation, big publishers wont touch it until enough smaller devs do it

and smaller devs wont touch it until someone big does

It's kind of amazing that Unity didn't see what happened with cryengine/crytek and not learn some important lessons from it

Crytek were ahead of the curve in a number of ways early on, especially with the CryCinema side of things

or what ever it was called

[slim atlas]

Hey guys 🙂 new question

is a transform more efficient file size wise then a vector 3 and a rotator?

does unreal do any sort of compressing for transform variables?

Wow

this changed dramaticly affected my file size!

its 40% smaller

[bronze axle]

Oh wow, did you create the original video?

[versed crown]

yeah

someone uploaded a coffin dance anim to reddit, was going to use it as a placeholder for a project i was on to encourage an animator to replace it with a final anim as he hated dance animations

unity came out with some nonsense so i made a quick coffin model and slapped it together for a quick thing to show some friends

I've published the updated model with the embedded logo to thingiverse if people want to print their own

unfortunately the gdrive link in the reddit post where i got the animation from is defunct these days

[stiff crystal]

I'm surprised Unity and Unreal haven't sued Flax for ripping off their code.. I know Unity contacted them and they had to remove TAA and moblur they ripped from Unity, but apparently Unreal hasn't sent C&D despite Flax blatantly copy/pasted bunch of UE code to it

they even ripped Unreals EULA and just swapped name

[versed crown]

ouch

[stiff crystal]

they've been so lazy that it's frankly quite amazing

[versed crown]

i guess it depends where the "creators" are based, there are some places where those kinds of takedowns don't get as much traction, or atleast that's what i'm told by the marketplace team when i report my assets being shared on certain sites

[stiff crystal]

they didn't even care to write this link to EULA again

that should tell something already

[versed crown]

minimum viable product

or in this case, effort

[stiff crystal]

but go look at the rendering code and compare to unreal's, you'll see that they didn't even care to change the comments

[versed crown]

that's embarrassing on epics part that they haven't done anything about it

[stiff crystal]

well... taking into account that Flax core was mostly made by one person, in relatively short amount of time...

it just doesn't happen without some creative "borrowing"

[versed crown]

sounds like another engine i know of....

[stiff crystal]

I wouldn't really care for what Flax is doing that much but they actually charge 4% royalty after first 25k....

[versed crown]

I know of someone who was "developing" their own engine whilst working at crytek but that's a whole other story entirely

[stiff crystal]

and they did slap their own copyrights over others copyrighted code, lol

[versed crown]

not shutting it down on the spot is kind of like a silent endorsement

especially if it begins to gain traction

[stiff crystal]

or they just don't take it seriously, like.. think anyone would use that

but I dunno, maybe right persons weren't made aware of these things

[versed crown]

thing is with that is both the person putting that out and any potential devs would be on the hook if epic did take notice

i doubt anyone wants to end up like silicon knights

[stiff crystal]

well

if you use that engine, you'll risk yourself later down the road to legal actions

[versed crown]

that's what i mean

[stiff crystal]

ya

[versed crown]

oh, just remembered what it was i did that video in response to, remember the drama about unity vs improbable over the networking stuff?

with unity essentially pulling their licence to use the engine because they wanted to do their own networking solution and didn't want competition iirc

yeah godot seems to be the 1# choice for ex unity devs

true but more people are flocking to godot then unreal. mainly because large/famous unity devs said they are moving to godot

cant blame them tho, godot is a more simpler engine which is why most people stuck with unity in the first place

well as a ex unity person my biggest issue was the lack/quality of tools

unity

oh my bad 😅 yeah my main issue was unreal hardware requirements

All other stuff after 2018 has been under NDAs and hopefully will finally see the light of day soon lol

[zinc wagon]

@broken sigil found your first message here!

[broken sigil]

[zinc wagon]

fixed it found the un-edited version

[lofty lark]

They don't even have the correct part blue smh

Maybe it's my monitor's but Discord light mode is just blinding

I use a lot of other programs in light mode

but discord is just extreme

Discord and Rider are the only two things I really use dark mode

[zinc wagon]

?

[celest musk]

another good reason to set discord to dark mode

[celest musk]

so you spent less time chatting and are more productive

[prisma tapir]

Hmm do we not have a jam channel for the new jam that started?

[celest musk]

#food is for jam

[prisma tapir]

man that is really hidden lol

thank you :)

[prisma tapir]

[lofty lark]

I can't really handle anything darker than discord dark mode tho. I can't do black backgrounds. Maybe it's a contrast thing for my eyes

[errant raven]

Because of booty

Lady dominatrix > iron maidens

I take that back, iron maidens sexier

[merry vector]

How do you put a masterpiece of a game on a phone. Disgusting. It's like eating gordon ramsay's food on the sidewalk

[regal pecan]

Gordon Ramsey makes burgers.

[merry vector]

Not on the fkin sidewalk though

[regal pecan]

Are we talking about eating while sitting on the sidewalk, or actually eating it off of the sidewalk.

...Some smartass gourmet chef is going to serve a meal on a piece of sidewalk some day, if they haven't already.

[errant raven]

Ypu forget about ASUS phones meant for gaming lol

[proud jay]

oh they definitely have

see r/wewantplates for examples of this

[scenic gazelle]

I didn't know there is lounge channel

I'm a bit disappointed that FMOD plugins for UE are separate for Linux and Windows, any workaround?

[quaint knoll]

Any way to get assistance for unity transition users

[proud jay]

you wanna do bp or c++?

either way this might be a good read to start https://landelare.github.io/2022/07/16/unity-starter-pack.html

[quaint knoll]

what the difference?

I only had 1 to 2 class related to unreal in the past unfortunately where I studied is pretty much unity heavy

[proud jay]

it's covered in the blog as well 😄

c++ is code,

bp is visual scripting

so in Unity terms, c++ would be like c# and blueprint would be the graph thing

[quaint knoll]

I graudated to a now useless degree that teaches heavily on unity

[proud jay]

forgot the official name

like node based programming

[proud jay]

lots of skills are transferable though

it's just done a bit differently

[quaint knoll]

I see

what is the best way to start

[proud jay]

well this maybe https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/learn

but also read that blog post for sure

and just start playing around with one of the starter projects maybe

or you mean between c++ and bp?

bp is probably easier

c++ is more versatile and powerful

but you can make a game fully in bp if you really wanted

[quaint knoll]

I See

[proud jay]

bp stands for Blueprint btw

idk if that was clear 😆

[slim atlas]

you will pay for that

[merry vector]

Also us beginners in the first month of learning cpp:

[proud jay]

with what?

it's fact

[rare sparrow]

I just want to say that I find it surprising that MotorStorm has only been brought up once in this server, so I'm here to bring it up again. Gotta pump up those numbers for such an amazing series of games

[proud jay]

never heard of it

I fucking hate TSR/TAA

top down starter project has really, really ugly trails from shadows

like, 100x worse than what I'm used to

horribad

I'm afraid that ship has sailed with so so many graphical features relying on some sort of temporal accumulation

[cyan fractal]

General trend in realtime graphics has seemed to be to sacrifice temporal stability for visual fidelity

[pearl elk]

Lets all make our own engines, that'll show em

[pearl elk]

I wrote my engine using filament and three.js

platform agnostic ftw 😛

[proud jay]

also performance agnostice

[still geyser]

You know what's messed up. Charging developers for a user action like installing.

[celest musk]

their stock reached a new low record for the past 5 days, apparently they had to close their offices because of a death thread

[proud jay]

lol

[proud jay]

also apparently a few developers quitting over this

don't know exact numbers

[celest musk]

i wonder why they have almost 8k employes after all!?

[proud jay]

they already fired a bunch a few months ago

[proud jay]

it's to count those installs

that is a lot actually lol

I don't think epic has that many

[celest musk]

epic has apparently 10k, and they cover waaaaaaaaaaay more stuff than unity does?!

[proud jay]

ah

[celest musk]

like they do fortnite, and have an actual game engine 😄

[proud jay]

where did you get this number

[celest musk]

google

[proud jay]

I think you were looking at epic systems

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1234218/epic-games-employees/

so basically half of what unity has

and they have the better engine

and actual games

[celest musk]

wow

[proud jay]

of course not as much ads

[celest musk]

its at $35.71 now?!

https://www.google.com/finance/quote/U:NYSE?sca_esv=565014946&output=search&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiksY-91KeBAxU-1gIHHdGJARYQ0pQJegQIDRAB&window=5D

[still geyser]

I feel like this must have gone down as the CEO talking with engineers about needing to make x more profits and some how that led to an engineering jokingly stating "well you could charge them for the runtime lol" and CEO going "Tell me more of this... runtime you speak of" and the engineer's face going from laughing to oh f... what have I done.

[celest musk]

it's a tragicomedy

it sucks for anyone involved, but from the outside it looks kinda funny

[fluid bloom]

their whole helsinki office is dedicated for ads for example

as a reference for their scale that

[celest musk]

i said past 5 days

yea, in that case there have been lower points in time indeed

[still geyser]

Aren't those lower points drama related as well?

[proud jay]

I've seen more people joining and asking about unity today actually

I'm a graph man

give it to unity

[celest musk]

wasnt aware that nintendo used unity for stuff

thought they had their own inhouse stuff

[woven wing]

Is the Unreal Engine team pretty small?

[zinc wagon]

i think their engine only works for switch devices

[zinc wagon]

if you consider more than 3000 people small then ig yeah

[worldly sapphire]

Compared to ~8000 for Unity

Wait, now it's ~7999

[zinc wagon]

wait 8000!? wth why?

[worldly sapphire]

I for real don't know

Especially since I assume Epic's number also includes the dev team for Fortnite

[woven wing]

When Epic says "Mieszko is the one who does all of the Mass and AI stuff" do they mean like just him, or the teams he leads

[zinc wagon]

and metahuman too i think

[zinc wagon]

he leads the team yeah

[worldly sapphire]

Those extra 5000 people probably write the documentation

[zinc wagon]

ah that explains it. unity's docs are pretty solid

[woven wing]

Ahh, cause I got the impression like they were talking about just one guy does it

[zinc wagon]

it can be possible but that usually means the developer made the proof of concept

it got accepted and then a whole team is working on it to expand/maintain it

[proud jay]

Tim wrote the original engine pretty much by himself though

[proud jay]

this is what happened with nanite for example

one dude researched it

and then he got a team to implement it

[fleet tangle]

Nobody else actually writes UE. It's all Tim. He just uses a lot of pseudonyms.

[worldly sapphire]

Might hsve been this interview

https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/classic-tools-retrospective-tim-sweeney-on-the-first-version-of-the-unreal-editor

[stiff crystal]

talking of this...

https://www.pocketgamer.biz/news/82426/developers-issue-collective-ultimatum-to-unity-[…]nsource-or-unity-ads-until-runtime-conditions-are-reviewed/

also, while the Helsinki office is mostly ads, they have other staff there too, at least used to have

but main focus is on ads

[tulip orbit]

I like that humble bundle now has two book bundles for unreal and godot development 🙂

the Unreal one has a lot of plain c++ books

Has anyone bought those packt books? Are they even worth it?

[worldly sapphire]

I still want the dinosaur sprites back

When did that get replaced

[tulip orbit]

they evolved

or got hit with a meteor

[eternal light]

is there a modern live action movie/tv show where they have old rust bucket spaceships..l think like cowboybebop, where stuff is rusty, and forever being repaired?

[stiff crystal]

not modern but there is Firefly

[eternal light]

yeah i didn't watch firefly, was gonna say, but i am not familiar with it at all

[stiff crystal]

it's literally all things you wrote

oh you meant cowboy bebob

mb

but firefly is space western 😄

[eternal light]

lol that reminds me of the video clip of

• woman says, why can't i have a man like this [picture]
• guy says "hi"
• she says "not you"
• guy says "i'm literally the guy in the picture"

no i meant rust bucket spaceships... so that it's in the future so far away that there's already junk yards of spaceships and "poor" people in space, or vagabonds, or bandits, that trade parts on the black market

that's firefly moreso?

[celest musk]

welcome puberty

[stiff crystal]

firefly is the name of the rustbucket they fly in that

[eternal light]

oh really?

mindblown dot gif

[stiff crystal]

also there's obviously the most famous rustbucket that has name of millennium falcon

[eternal light]

never knew that

oh yeah

but the falcon wasn't rusty, but I guess they didn't want that brown aesthetic

[stiff crystal]

there is also a movie about events after firefly series, serenity (2005) but that movie is more of fan service

you don't get anything out of that movie alone

[eternal light]

dumb question, I can paint a sketchfab spaceship as rusty with a material? or is that super advanced for someone like me?

[eternal light]

never heard of this, now i gotta go watch it

i thought unreal handles those internally

[broken sigil]

If you are working with rotators you are gonna get a gimbal lock even if it's later converted to quats

You need to do your math/logic with quats

hmmm everything is so clean though, sure they talk about repairs, but it's super clean, not even cluttered
it's a fantastic movie though
movies aren't made like this anymore, actual stories, logical plots.

[proud jay]

how dare they give a free course

[woven wing]

I've never written C++ code that's supposed to do a lot before

I really hope this works

I've never written code that I can't like immediately test

The whole thing is just an optimization so that I might be able to add 10k+ herdable sheep

[celest musk]

wait, you are the guy with sheep classes?

[woven wing]

Girl, but yeah

@celest musk #cpp message
https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/12/2/285

Here you go

Only slightly inspired by this paper

[celest musk]

you could probably integrate the dynamics in niagara

[woven wing]

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT

[celest musk]

using forces to attract/deflect sheeps

[woven wing]

But people were like "Nooo, don't drive your gameplay with Niagra"

[celest musk]

you might run into unexpected behavior if there's some engine stuff which scales the simulation to the hardware

so i guess, you have to figure it out. i wouldn't say don't do it, but be aware that there might be pitfalls

[woven wing]

Yep, that's exactly what people said

I am going to use a flow field as well and have sheep sample from it to kind of 'prefer' going to the objective

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDQw21ntR64

I was originally going to model sheep like a fluid

[celest musk]

xD

[zinc matrix]

hi

[celest musk]

they kinda are

[woven wing]

1:19!

[zinc matrix]

ima cry about kids wanting to raid my server because i’ve banned them guys💔

[celest musk]

their movement totally looks like a niagara sim from above 😄

[woven wing]

They even obey Bernoulli's principle!

They go faster in the narrow bit and kinda slow down in an open field

[celest musk]

at 42 seconds, the first sheep looks like it's lagging

[woven wing]

I haven't gotten to the part where sheep try and slow down yet

Or given them a speed limit

And I think they still float

[carmine frigate]

i beat that game like the pro gamer i am

[woven wing]

I'm sorry you downloaded it xD

[carmine frigate]

i would have had a world record, but there was no scoreboard yet

In the end I'm basically making a half-baked version

If I make the dog a robot, and the sheep electric sheep, I could -maybe- consider entering the Jam xD

But there's no way I'd actually get anything resembling a game within a week from now

i'm hoping i can get like 1/3rd of my idea together in the jam

Many of the disasters lately when it comes to artistic projects, namely movies, games, etc, are share holders driven.

[final anchor]

Unity died

[white oxide]

unity committed seppuku

[final anchor]

Does thay mean more unreal studios?

[fathom wadi]

the worst thing is, unity games also died.

[final anchor]

half of the game industry died

[unreal ether]

Not quite

[zinc wagon]

a huge chunk of mobile games definitely got affected

oooh that means less shitty games maybe 👀

[fathom wadi]

no we still have Triple A studios putting out pure shit too

[zinc wagon]

probably 😅

[regal pecan]

Fewer free to play games based on Unity.

More free to play games not based on Unity?
More premium games (e.g. $0.50) with freemium-like monetization models?

[regal pecan]

Stuff so bad you won't want to install it twice 😄

[white oxide]

godot based mobile games getting spammed

[regal pecan]

Single use keys, per-device purchases

[coral widget]

Didn't Unity CEO sell his shares before Unity announced this EULA change?

Isn't that considered insider trading?

[coral widget]

Godot will get a boost, absolutely. I'm afraid of what may come toward the land of the unreal though

[north cliff]

Unity killed obama bossfight

[white oxide]

tbh whatever happens someone will pick up the fall of unity

[coral widget]

Punity.

[white oxide]

maybe

[coral widget]

So yeah, this is the CEO that wanted, while in EA, to charge everyone $1 per gun reload.

After getting pretty much kicked out, he lands on his feet, repeats. Nobody seems to care, everyone is getting a cut?

[white oxide]

wait really? they wanted you to pay for each reload

[coral widget]

Worryingly an employee from Unity made a bomb threat toward .... his employer, lol.

[white oxide]

cheat engine makes millions

[coral widget]

This guy could pretty much wake up tomorrow and think "Ok we are going to retroactively make every player pay for every bullet fired"

He's basically Jerry from Rick&Morty, but with better job-luck.

[white oxide]

jerry isnt that heartless

beth, beth would

jerry isnt evil, just a moron

[regal pecan]

Executives regularly sell small portions of their stock for the sake of cash flow. They'll almost always have sold stock before something happens, because they're effectively always selling stock. The CEO's withdrawal of stock was unexceptional from this perspective; he sold a penny like he usually does, but he's still in for a pound.

[final anchor]

Bruh unity really dead

Even employees leaving

Every minute that passes a unity dev switches engine

Lots of studios posted stiff about switching too

[empty dune]

Morning, slackers

How goes the slacking

[regal pecan]

Feeling very slack

[empty dune]

Good, good, all according to plan

[white oxide]

unreal is winning

tbh will be interesting to see what all comes out over the next few months

[coral widget]

Not sure this is a good thing if it brings in "unwanted visitors", several unofficial servers have been let's say less than ideal lately

But maybe I'm just visiting the wrong servers

You reckon most of the traffic comes from kids watching "I made x game in 5 minutes" videos on YouTube?

[broken sigil]

we've had a large influx of new users and so far it seems ok

[coral widget]

Could also be Fortnite related

To some extent?

[broken sigil]

[white oxide]

idk tbh. only good thing to come is we get more talent to make assets

there are aslo a lot of cool assets for unity that arent on unreal

[coral widget]

You just wait a few more days lol

[white oxide]

ideas to help make new games

people to hire

[coral widget]

Anyone knows if instanced skeletal meshes are planned in upcoming versions?

Of course artists are always welcomed!

And maybe some other talent as well... I see so many generic chatgpt ideas going around it's not even funny anymore 🙂

[final anchor]

What will be the impact in the game industry due to unitys decline? There are a massive ton of people using unity

[coral widget]

I wonder what Nintendo is going to do next.

They're the super-litigious bunch, so we'll see. Are we going to witness a series of lawsuits, possibly televised?

[pearl elk]

Im glad all my Unity peeps never convinced me to make the move

[fervent wagon]

I doubt big companies like Nintendo agree to the same terms we mortals do. They probably write their terms until both parties agree.

[broken sigil]

Damn their live version might be even better

Theyre not funny, this is dad joke level

He got most of them completely blacked out

[broken sigil]

it looks extremely painful 😂

to get that done

[errant raven]

I still have my board from when I skated

Blasting sum 41

[lofty lark]

My first thought with blackout tattoos is the time spent, not the pain lol

To completely cover that much surface area with an even layer of ink has gotta take a while

[white oxide]

Oh how i envy only having that as the problem

[errant raven]

What does envy mean

[white oxide]

I wish schizo was my only problem

[errant raven]

Pain? What pain

[white oxide]

Im schizo, bipolar, autistic, adhd, and depressive

[errant raven]

The only painful part of tattoos is getting white or yellow ink

[lofty lark]

imagine the healing process too. it's so much

Healing process sucks yeah

Too much sunlight, over moisturizing it, not moisturizing it enough

[broken sigil]

So those unfamiliar with him
He basically went to jail in like 2010, done some questionable stuff, paid for that, did his time
Came out a much better person, built a career and people still actively try to ruin him and cancel him and yet he is constantly getting more and more popular lol

[white oxide]

I got the soup of mental health to go with an above average intelligence. But with handicaps that make it hard to do really anything

[errant raven]

Not schizophrenia itself

Which is nice

I got debilitating heart anxiety ever since I blacked out like almost 2 years ago

[errant raven]

Heart anxiety

Enlighten me

[pearl elk]

Good thing Unity doesnt make hearts

[errant raven]

Anxious about your heart and stuff like that

Maam this is a unreal server

Stop being a fucking heretic

[white oxide]

I black out regularly. Just loose a full ass day or week and have no clue

[errant raven]

Same

It feels like 8 hours has passed but in reality it's a day to several days

[pearl elk]

I wish I could black out every election week

[white oxide]

Like strait up snap in while im driving like "where the fuck am i going"

[errant raven]

Randomly feeling like a conversation happened because you know you was talking but cant remember what it was but you clearly had a conversation

[broken sigil]

falls under health anxiety, constant feeling that something isn't ok with the heart
Increased HR or stronger heart beats give you anxiety, you avoid certain situations and activities because of it
Which in turn causes actual abnormalities like PVCs which in turn fuel the anxiety even more

I'm much better now (A LOT better) but last year I felt like I was about to die any time I would get up, do anything, even take a shower
Even tho I did every possible heart exam that you can imagine to confirm that everything is actually fine, it is

[white oxide]

Or that shit shows up from Amazon, you have no clue where the money for it came from or why you bought it... but you did sort of need it

[errant raven]

I dont like my heart either pal, not because of that but other reasons

Get squeamish whenever I see any kind of heart

I dont like the way they move

I basically stood up quickly after laying for hours, my blood pressure dropped, for about 2 minutes I couldn't hear or see anything, couldn't feel my pulse either until I eventually blacked out and woke up on the floor
So that right there messed me up pretty good mentally

After every possible heart exam and whatever else they told me it's vasovagal syncope and pretty much harmless but the damage is kinda already done psychically since it didn't feel that harmless at that moment lol

So... I killed the chat lmao

I think that was the point of the movie, but I'm not sure.

Think this will ever be usable again?

[errant raven]

No

[lofty lark]

Yeah that speaker port looks fine

Mic too

[pearl elk]

bin it

[white oxide]

Meant the ethernet port

Actually this was intentional

[errant raven]

What ethernet port

[white oxide]

[errant raven]

That port got the riley Reid treatment

[lofty lark]

https://tenor.com/view/kid-look-stare-awkward-guilty-gif-5289290

[white oxide]

For reasons that shall not be spoken the computer pictured needed zero internet access

[errant raven]

Goofy saying do a barrel roll from kh3 popped in my head when I watched that

[white oxide]

Might be a smart idea to rip up the lower pcie thing

[errant raven]

Why

[lofty lark]

Well you managed to prevent any a wired network connection. Wireless via USB dongle is still an option lol

[white oxide]

Needs to be physically impossible to connect without other hardware

[errant raven]

Why

[lofty lark]

Than you might as well take out the onboard NIC.

[white oxide]

Recipient has certain restrictions on internet access... and dont wanna get in trouble for "aiding" the manner given too them is physically unable to connect unless they use a dongle

[errant raven]

Does NIC mean nicotine

[white oxide]

Hawk knows coders with questionable pasts

[pearl elk]

I know coders with questionable futures

[errant raven]

Why not lock network connections in settings with a password

Instead of mutilating a engineers love child

[white oxide]

Because the us corrections department are idiots

[errant raven]

True

[lofty lark]

Destroying a motherboard is a pretty wild choice of barrier when it can be circumvented by a $10 part on Amazon lol

[errant raven]

Bro chill

It's the government they're doing this for

[white oxide]

Well as long as I am not the one giving them the part

[pearl elk]

wtb mobo with no ports

[white oxide]

See if they get the part, then they get in trouble

[lofty lark]

wtt mobo with no parts for mouse with wheel

[errant raven]

That's an old ass motherboard which means it probably houses a old celeron or xeon cpu

Wouldnt wanna browse the web on one of those anyways

[white oxide]

But i wont because i disabled all existing connection options so im not helping them violate conditions

[errant raven]

I'm pretty sure you can also disable it in the mobo bios

[white oxide]

Which they could enable

[errant raven]

Most people dont even know what a pc bios is

Or how to get into it

[lofty lark]

Just take out the on-board nic and voila.

Unless they know how to solder and purchase a new one without internet access, your golden

[errant raven]

Take out the cpu socket too

Wouldnt want something with a capable brain in a government building, thatd be terrible

[white oxide]

No way you convince a us corrections officer that software keeps a blackhat out of the internet.

[errant raven]

Why dont they want it internet capable anyways

[white oxide]

Oh its not for gov its for a victim of the corrections department

[lofty lark]

Take out the nic and there's no software to deal with because you ya know, removed the network interface chip/card, the piece of hardware required to interface with networks

[white oxide]

Yeah. And you really think someone who became a probation/parole officer is going to understand or believe that over beating the shit out of it?

Stupid people require stupid solutions

"Remove this part" works for us. Not for an officer who doesn't even know what the Americans with Disabilities Act is

Seeing the thing bashed is easier to expl

[lofty lark]

"Ya see officer, I know how to fight. I downloaded fighting movies and put them on my neuralink. So you know I got it in me. I decided to use my expertise ya know, and target the weak spot. See ain't no reason to go batting away at the whole thing. Wasteful. When you rough up a criminal you ain't hitting em in the shin or the elbow the right pinky toe. You go for the weak spots. That's what I did to this here mobo. The lil chip dohickey, gone. Internet access, gone. You swing for liver, i swung for the nic"

[white oxide]

Yeah... but again it requires them to actually look up something and understand it

[lofty lark]

They ain't gotta understand shit

They ain't gotta look anything up

You just told them how you handled. "Aye look, that there where I'm pointing? You see it's empty? Yeah yeah because I took the nic"

"Don't believe me? Fine plug it in. See if it works, and when it don't, you owe me a lunch."

[white oxide]

This is a probation officer who tried to get them on a drug charge on a ceran wrapped head of broccoli

[lofty lark]

My sleep meds are kicking in because I can hardly read these messages even my own

[white oxide]

Then gave them a lecture on "fooling an officer"

Again "its smashed" is far easier to understand than "the bit that makes network go beep is gone"

"Your removed it you can replace it" never ascribe intelligence to a PO

[lofty lark]

"Mf all this shits replaceable. He could jjst swap it out for a new mobo"

[errant raven]

Just give them a macbook

[pearl elk]

Shaqbook

anyone played Immortals of Aveum?

[soft night]

SharpBook

[pearl elk]

I must admit, its good to be an Unreal developer

which water plugin?

[fleet tangle]

All of them.

[pearl elk]

Okay, done!

[pearl elk]

All good, you could say Im the one keeping things a float here 😛

[woven wing]

All of those companies being like "We're switching off Unity!" This sounds pretty good for business for people who know Unreal

[fleet tangle]

Oh bouy.

[pearl elk]

I just remember all those snarky comments because Im an Unreal Engine dev and Im biting my tongue big time

[woven wing]

"Unreal Engine is only useful for big AAA companies and they all look exactly the same and Unreal can only do photorealistic!"

[pearl elk]

I usually get "Epic is run by the CCP" or "big corpos are the devil, Unity is indie lyfe"

[scenic gazelle]

I think it was a big mistake to start using C++ for MegaJam

[woven wing]

"Epic is ran by the CCP! I'm going to go play Genshin and LoL instead"

I think I might take a little break from UE for today

Compiles, but crashes on startup because of Mass funny business

Looking at my code is currently "Ahh yes, there are indeed some letters on this screen right now"

[unreal ether]

I don't get why people get their code crashing so often... just

if(GonnaCrash()) 
{
     Dont();
}

Hi Twitter... have a video update for once, after all my talk about tech, optimisations, bugs, etc.

Perfectly seamless portals with accurate physics, rendering and collision.

Long objects half sticking through double sided multi-entry portals... who needs that? Me, apparently!

<@&213101288538374145> please calm him down

cheers

[unreal ether]

That's just a dog with a donut

Looks calm to me

[white oxide]

Heh

[marsh flume]

Bro forgot the no dogs with donuts rule

[fathom wadi]

fancy tagging a moderator for that. 😄

[rancid root]

Yeah please don't unnecessarily tag moderators 👍

[fathom wadi]

they are new here so I think they might have thought it was spam

[unreal ether]

Is the negativity of the ping offset by the cute dog at least
