Everything in this channel is spam

[fathom wadi]

true

and true

Just like the saying goes. Facts dont care about feelings and Unity doesn't care about it's clients 😄

[white oxide]

they were pretty much "i woke up and decided attack because my unity game i spent 9 months on went poof"

[empty dune]

How dare you speak the truth like that????

[white oxide]

and they knew me from like a year ago in another server

[empty dune]

Cancelled on X

[white oxide]

couldnt rap their head around the fact people can re-marry after 4 years

[empty dune]

Why would they rap about divorce? 😔

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/tt-gif-22612306

[white oxide]

well my first wife died. then i remarried to a long time friend with her kid

[empty dune]

my comment was a pun but goddamn that is depressing

[white oxide]

and they called me a liar because my solo dev game took longer than projected to get to a playable state

when they were making a unity game with mismatched visuals (3 volunteer artists of radically different styles) and a title that said "a game by pablo sexobar"

[empty dune]

Your wife called you a liar what????

[white oxide]

the guy that got banned

[empty dune]

Who got banned

Im so confused

[white oxide]

the one sparta called mods for

[fathom wadi]

Pablo Sexobar? More like El Crappo 😄

[empty dune]

Ohhhh

[white oxide]

they were removed promptly

[fathom wadi]

I have so much respect for artists who can keep a consistent style. Everything I do looks completely different.

[empty dune]

Wait i thought Sparta called the mods as a joke

[white oxide]

NOPE

but their big beef was:
hawk has a wife? you lied about your wife dying!
where is the game mansley! you said game in 11 months from december 22...

[empty dune]

Oh

That's

Stupid

[fathom wadi]

why would anyone lie about their wife dying. I mean, there's no punchline

My ex-girlfriend died after she drove off a cliff. Or at least that's what I like to think.

[tulip orbit]

there was a punchline, its how she died. punched to death.

[empty dune]

I knew one guy who said his mom died when he was a kid, just to use it as comeback for your mom jokes. I was best friends with him for years, after 5 years i found out his mom was very much alive and still in the family

[white oxide]

actually her spine which suffered from scoliosis was damaged after an assault while she was out in town

[empty dune]

Some people are messed up

Oh god....

[white oxide]

yeah

and we had a 4 month old

[fathom wadi]

I met a girl some years back who went to live in Spain with her boyfriend and some drug dealers shot him in the face in front of her. She was a nervous wreck for years

[tulip orbit]

huh? no reactions in this chan?

[white oxide]

our kid is now a DARLING 5 year old, who loves her new mom (never knew her old mom), and is one of the sweetest kids ive ever known, and thats not the parent in me talking

[fathom wadi]

I once lied to a friend that I could tell the time by the position of the sun. I kept it up for 2 years before I admitted to him I had a watch in my pocket that lost it's straps and I would just sneak a look at it when he would ask 😄

[empty dune]

I mean that's just funny, what my friend did was psychopathic

[white oxide]

i was a little shit as a kid, and i know it, how i raised an angel- i have no clue

[fathom wadi]

Another guy I used to play counterstrike with said something racist once. So I told him I was Jamaican as I used to type patwa sometimes in games. Kept that up for about 18 months before we went to the lan event and he met me 😄

stopped him being racist tho so there is that

[empty dune]

I could never parent, never gonna even try. I know I'll be a terrible dad

[white oxide]

i never intended to be a dad

man i was 19...

[pearl elk]

neither did I but the kid just hopped in my van after I offered em ice cream

[fathom wadi]

Nobody really intends to be a dad I reckon. But the pull-out game is harder than it appears

[white oxide]

oh some do intend, but yeah a lot of times its a surprise

[fathom wadi]

I never wanted kids which is why I have 5 now and raise another 2 as my own.

When all is said and done there is nothing more to a successful life than raising kids. You could make all the money in the world but nothing brings the joy of looking into the soul you brought into the world. However most people cannot conceive of that notion until it happens, then you understand.

[white oxide]

agreed

and i have my parents old place (bought it, built dad a detached suite and he lives there) and my daughter just absolutely LOVES the amount of space

almost a mile of trails, 10 acres of woods, old growth oak trees which already have old anchor points for old treehouses

and 200+ acres of woods behind the house that wont ever sell

[fathom wadi]

My first child was denied me by the mother who was abusive to me so I left. She got her sister to tell me that the child wasn't mine and she had been seeing someone else. So I went for 8 years basically wondering and trying not to think about it. Then one day my ex came to my front door and said she wanted me to meet my daughter. So I agreed if we could have a DNA test. The day after I got the results saying she was mine I went to meet her. The DNA test was pointless as she looked like me. What is really mind blowing is that I had another daughter who looked almost exactly like her. I had photos of both of them at the same age and you can barely tell the difference. Life is strange.

[white oxide]

i actually got the money to buy the place in a settlement. got assaulted by an amazon driver while at work, both amazon and my job settled pretty nicely so i made down payment on my house

dude was unhinged somehow, misheard "what pump, how much" as "suck my"

slapped me across the face hard enough to need 8 stitches

[fathom wadi]

in the UK when that happens you only get £20 off your next purchase over £500 and a free month's trial of Amazon Prime.

[white oxide]

lol

ouch

[fathom wadi]

We are not a litigious nation unfortunately. I could do with a nice settlement right about now

[white oxide]

i got free prime for 10 years, and 80,000 in "psychological" damage. and the gas station in effort to head off their own suit gave me a years pay bonus, and paid for my medical care 100%

they were going to simply pay nothing, but most of my family is engineers and lawyers

having 4 come to the table and ask what the settlement was...

[fathom wadi]

I saw a little girl get hit by a tram once, right outside a legal office. They came flying out like vultures hoping to score that case. It was cynical AF.

[white oxide]

tbh i can see why, at least should have just spammed cards not harrassed the person. give them a lawyer who is also a first hand witness

so i got like $120,000 in settlement, down paymented dads house for 60, used 40 to build him a 1 bed one bath deteched suite, and used the remaining 20 to spruce up the place, get a used car, and make sure i could make the first few payments (dad is who i pay my mortgage too)

[fathom wadi]

I have spent it on coke and whores but that's another story

[white oxide]

and i now have 10 acres of fields, woods, a 2,000 square foot house, and a kid who always has at least one family memeber to help out

[fathom wadi]

only joking. My entire goal in life right now is to buy a house. Going through eviction with 5 kids kind of sets your priorties straight

[white oxide]

dads retired and takes role of grandpa very seriously

Picture from my back porch

see that line of trees WAY in the back there?

thats the edge of our property

her and my dad go on tons of wild adventures, the property is littered with old tree forts and "bases" which are now my kid's

yeah my life has been wild and interesting

times i wish it was less so

Guys I got it, I know whats going on at Unity

John Riccitello still wants to sell people bullets, he figured this is the best way to get Unity devs to buy more 😛

[celest musk]

and he wants to destroy all other engines, by motivating unity devs to switch over to them

making exclusive deals with the devs which are good for the unity community

[pearl elk]

I heard that its all a conspiracy to get Apple to buy Unity

[soft night]

calamari heard to sell unreal stocks to buy unity stocks

[woven wing]

Q1 Q2 earnings for Unity is going to be crazy

Eventually it'll die as mobile devs switch

But until then

i started using unity again after these news

[pearl elk]

there was a news article where someone recommend unity stocks because unity is used for apple vision pro and meta quest xD

So just for future reference, I coined the term "unitard" and that's what they're called from now on.

There's already an inrush of them in other servers!

They are angry, they think they know their stuff and they are also entitled!

BEWARE OF THE WILD UNITARD.

[coral widget]

@zinc matrix no, only the bad ones are called unitards.

If you are kind hearted, helpful and overall a good person you won't be a unitard.

😄

But, we helped. we all happy.

@split ferryp ok this is the opposite (IMO)

I'll admit, that's my impression with Blender.

It's such a powerful tool now, but the community is toxic, they are entitled to their own ways... hard to explain.

@zinc matrix that's ok, you can ask all you want I doubt anybody is going to clash.

you've opened up a blueprint already? (created an empty actor perhaps?)

I just went almost apeshit on another user in another server that pretty much stated his idea was secret, I didn't need to know the details and that "if you don't know the answer don't reply" naturally I blew up, maybe 10% but I did. Specially because I've given them the answer and it was the right path, but they ignored it -- too focused on being bratty I guess lol

@zinc matrix so you have a get / set concept, as one does in OOP

the variables are laid out on the left panel, could be global or local

and when you drag and drop one variable it will ask you if you want to get or set

he was from unity.

I'm so neutral, I mean I joke a lot but we all chip in and help each other... I'd never say that to another person trying to help me, specially since I'm not paying them and even then it wouldn't give me the right lol

Also right clicking anywhere and typing things will generally give you a good result

However keep in mind, sometimes the result you're looking for is based on a specific class

so it won't show up on a global search like that.

it will if you search from within a "dropped pin" of a related node

Well I fear they'll come toward these servers and if the moderation isn't good enough it could harm the community "I guess"

ue is so relaxing actually, and not hard at all you'll see.

you need to "be at peace" with the tools you work with, feeling aggravated and attacked all the time isn't a great environment to be in.

[candid raven]

Unreal Engine has a perceived barrier to entry that is greater than it is in reality

this kinda helps as a filter with the people who join the community

[broken sigil]

[candid raven]

The main guy behind Godot was getting a ton of people whining at him that C# wasn't the main focus

[coral widget]

[candid raven]

Pretty silly tbh

[coral widget]

Hey it says "lounge" can't talk about ue at all?

[celest musk]

i'm afraid thats exactly those who come over now....

[coral widget]

🙂

@celest musk I've been saying this everywhere, people shrugged it off

the toxic ones are the unitards.

There's perfectly good people, I mean was, using Unity. Not everyone is crappy.

[broken sigil]

[coral widget]

I also wondered a few weeks ago when a lot of very young users popped up, where was this all coming from... and my guess is fortnite

what else could it be? some youtube video?

[empty dune]

no, youre a lamp

[zinc matrix]

is this a scam?

I’m interested in buying a few of your artworks for my exhibition, about 5-10 artworks. But I’m only interested in buying them as NFTs.
I’ll offer $2500 for each of these artworks I purchase from you as I’d love to purchase these artworks as digital artworks(NFTs).

2500$ for randomly generated images for free with SDXL sounds way too good to be true.

[coral widget]

It doesn't help when they post "I made starfield in 10 minutes using ue 5.3!"

🤡

[candid raven]

idk judging by what I heard, the unreal shovelware version of it is probably better than the actual game

[coral widget]

@zinc matrix so make sure they can't scam you first

then make it rain.

[celest musk]

of course it is

also its not your artwork

[coral widget]

oh snap.

I'm glad I didn't actually lose my best friend over this argument, because I almost went nuts over copyright + ai with him

This is such a can of worms.

[zinc matrix]

out of the blue someone in deviant art wants to buy my AI generated artwork offering over 1000$ ? wtf?

[regal pecan]

Pretend it's not a scam and set that as the value of your work. Confidence!

[broken sigil]

AI generated art is technically "your" work but at the moment not copyrightable
Nothing preventing you from selling it tho

[candid raven]

Here's what will probably happen

1. They think it's real art somehow (or they just don't care) and think they can scam you into basically making free NFTs for them to flog
2. There will be some problem where they need you to spend money on the gas minting the damn things - but don't worry they'll pay you after bro!

Alternatively they'll make you interact with some smart contract which basically acts as a honey trap that traps any funds you might send, or generates infinite approvals and drains your wallet

[coral widget]

nice.

[celest musk]

c.) they are super rich and just want to shove $25k up your butt for 10 AI generated images

[broken sigil]

which one

[regal pecan]

Chatrooms were never really a good format for more than one conversation at a time.

[coral widget]

beware of the toxic cloud

[broken sigil]

ohhh I thought someone was being a trouble

If anyone gets unruly, send them all the benefits of Godot development. 😄

[coral widget]

lawl

[broken sigil]

Could change relatively quickly as people are becoming more aware how these systems work and new laws will be made

[regal pecan]

Technically the copyright office only refused to register them. The copyright may still be enforceable. Registration is optional, for securing your rights.

[coral widget]

ok since we're talking legal... am I wrong to ask for the artist's full name to credit them? because I refuse to use nicknames, since they are not legally binding in any way? how can I attribute a nickname?

[zinc wagon]

yeah iirc there's a lawsuit that will decide who owns Ai art

[coral widget]

"attribute the author and reference their work" right, but I'm not writing down "Pink392Lover12" Give me your name .

[zinc wagon]

but for now they're pretty for public use

[broken sigil]

Also if you did enough changes to it, used it for kitbashing, etc...
That should be perfectly copyrightable

[broken sigil]

yeah, there has been some info that suggests that it might turn in favor of AI

but we'll see

[zinc wagon]

yep

[slim atlas]

Can i put a blueprint actor into a plugin in order to make it private? So when i use it in my projects, noone could open it and see its code?

[unreal ether]

I don't get this logic anyway

Why would other people see your project code

And if you're on about decompilation and extraction, the asset still gets packaged, people can rip it and unpak it

You're just adding an abstraction layer to protect against nothing

[queen isle]

my whole yt feed rite now is "unity sucks i'm leaving" vids

That Q&A thing. I joined late and didn't realize who I was asking questions to lol

"Who is Ari" I was thinking. So I looked him up

Oh lol

[pearl elk]

oh shi Cities: Skylines 2 😭

[regal pecan]

Probably big enough to have already negotiated a real license.

[pearl elk]

I feel like Unity saw what Wizards of the Coast tried and was like "hold my beer"

[regal pecan]

Hm. What about a 20c fee each time you install a mod?

[pearl elk]

how about 20c fee every time someone clicks a button

[regal pecan]

That's just a casino.

[pearl elk]

thats just Apple 😛

I love how much people have overestimated Unreal Engines prevalence though. Sure its used alot but third party engines will always catch more eyes than proprietary for obvious reasons. People are like Im going with Godot because Unreal will become a monopoly but I dont think theres any chance of that happening even if all Unity devs moved to Unreal tomorrow

Proprietary tech is still here to stay, Microsoft have so many inhouse game engines now its not funny and thats just one of the big ones

[regal pecan]

Lot of companies went with their own engines, maybe inspired by Battlefield 3's success. UE4 has its titles, but it doesn't feel as prevalent as UE3 was.

[pearl elk]

I think it might be to do with how many of those UE3 games were mainstream hits at the time

[regal pecan]

Imagining Godot challenging Unreal (or anything) for a monopoly position, that is funny.

[pearl elk]

Well there are plenty of lesser known technologies, even easier to use tech that Unity devs tend to ignore because Unity was on trend and hip with the indies

Could probably make Hollow Knight in Construct 3 in a few hours lol

[white oxide]

if im a fan of GTA, would i likely enjoy farcry

@hollow crescent it's ageneric dvr, get a mouse and hook a monitor to the vga / hdmi, however if they used a password you won't be able to do much unless your user has access to the recordings, worst case scenario just take the 4 screws from the cover and remove the harddrive, you'll be able to recover the files this way.

i really wanna make a nightingale horror game
but i dont wanna taint the entire franchise by making that official game #1
imagine an old phsych horror film mixed with Aliens 2
your responding to a remote trading outpost's distress call on the eve of the Komari invasion and your the first alliance military units to actually encounter them
most wars in my universe occur with clearly setup and easy to follow rules, the Komari dont have any form of the Geneva Convention. using artificial biomechanoids on civilian populations isnt a bad thing from their view

how many monitors do u guys use?

well I got one 1080p monitor but I will definitely get a second.

inconvenient to work with one sometimes

[outer sierra]

I have 2. Best to look and copy code snippets or BP nodes)

[fleet tangle]

3 x 24"

[outer sierra]

I read on internet that 2 monitors increase productivity by 25% and 3 monitors by 35.5%

I don't know about 3 monitors but 2 monitors indeed increase productivity a lot.

[unborn lotus]

What about six monitors?

[soft night]

[fleet tangle]

Of my 3 monitors, 1 is dedicated to WhatsApp and another to discord. I drag stuff on top of them, but still. Draw your own conclusions about productivity. 😂

[soft night]

then other monitors to other dedication?

this build got interesting monitor setup https://youtu.be/0LcFmLWsmgw?si=fdONTqoH5YFJ77SX

Found out why I prefer working in a team. Got the project and main gameplay set up, but now just got lost with making the level and the assets

[coral widget]

@ornate hawk Try to lay things out on paper first, a basic idea of your level -- figure out what's required in terms of assets, I assume in your game design doc you already defined which assets are required for the core aspects

If you need creative inspiration maybe go out for a walk, stare at the ants (?)

[proud jay]

don't let the ants crawl in your eyes

[ornate hawk]

Oeh latest source from git?

Yep, going to draw out the map tomorrow. Probably going to look through all assets I own as well to see what I can work with, which helps but also gives so many options haha

[empty dune]

hey @woven wing , come here i need to test something

[white oxide]

[pale scarab]

I used to like Stellaris, but it suffers from being what it is: a Paradox game.

Those who know what that means will agree, but to the uninitiated, it goes like this: Paradox releases a barebones, but fun, skeleton of a game that lets you paint the map via conquest. Over time they add DLCs to this already full price game, some are merely cosmetic, like the new species and ship types, and these are fine. Nothing you couldn't get with mods, but interesting. Sometimes you'll get new origins. Again, nothing you couldn't get with mods.

However... Over time, Paradox begins messing with the core components of the game. They release updates to accomadate new features, like federations. You, as the player, will be able to access a little bit of this feature, but you can't meaningfully use it without the DLC. This is the case for 'free' updates that are released with corresponding DLC. With these updates, the AI can and does utilize all the features of the DLC, and the DLC, by virtue of existing, alters how the AI plays the game, regardless of if you have it or not. So Espionage, you can barely use without buying nemesis, but the AI can use it fully and will destabalize you with no means for you to prevent it effectively. You can't improve your spies, or do the same operations.

Some DLCs, like megacorp, are stand-alone, and you are, mercifully, not forced to buy them to compete with the AI. If you don't buy megacorp, you aren't going to be fighting Megacorps.

In addition to invasive DLC-paired updates that affect your experience whether you own them or not (to your detriment if you dont, remember), Paradox routinely makes large 'updates' to core gameplay systems, which you have to grin and bear if you want to use the DLC you already own. They went from a tile system for planetary construction to a purely numbers based one, added luxury goods and alloys as new resources, rebalanced weapons and ship types, and so on. These wouldn't be so much of a problem

Duluth is kinda like that. The house I've been watching closest is 1888 build

its probably a lot smaller in person too

I learned that this is not UE so no nanite/lumen?
Just Amazing

[delicate minnow]

I mean its just.. standard? :D Thats how games look nowadays. Raytracing and literally everything being wet is doing the heavy lifting here

[plain glacier]

in VR?
No way 😄

[delicate minnow]

meshes are mostly simple and cubic with detailed textures

[delicate minnow]

yeah but.. RTX4090

95% of people will not be able to run it on these settings

most people will play it without ray tracing probably lol

[plain glacier]

sure, but, fast forward a couple of years... where this is going!

[woven wing]

4090 + DLSS + Framegen

i am for one very excited

I don't believe that's real vr though

Unless it comes directly from a CD PROJECKT RED source, I'd be sceptical

I'm not entirely sure if the Red Engine even supports VR

[woven wing]

Duluth is cheap

[proud jay]

I wouldn't know

what are current interest rates in USA?

[empty dune]

50 burgers per 100$

[woven wing]

7-8% with a 790 credit score

[proud jay]

damn that's quite high

I think here atm it's like 3.5 ish

[woven wing]

Yeah, it's rough

[proud jay]

pandemic was time to buy though

rates were at less than 1%

[empty dune]

wait, credit score affects interest rates???? here it just gives you a smaller offer

[woven wing]

Like a 400/mo difference

[proud jay]

we don't do credit scores here

[woven wing]

Affects interest rates, amount of loan you can qualify for, ect

[proud jay]

there's "qualifications" that can give you different rates

but nothing set in stone

and not as variable as with credit score

it's just like, oh we see you have 200k in the bank with us, sure you can get a loan

other than that mainly depends on your income

like last time we went to get some information, my gf has a very good "profile" with the bank, so our rate was like 0.6% cheaper

which can add up on a lot of money over 25 years

[woven wing]

Yeah, just going from 7.6 to 7% knocks off like 10% of the total loan payment

[empty dune]

youre optimistic

[proud jay]

what do you mean?

[empty dune]

bold of you to assume any of us will make it to 2048

[proud jay]

well I'm not saying that

just that if I get a homeloan, the payment period would be 25 years

if I'm dead, that's better, don't need to pay anymore then

I don't think UE is less intuitive

it's just different

if you would go from unreal to unity you'd probably have the same

and go back after a week cause yuo realize unity is garbage

[empty dune]

Anyone who uses blender (so the entirety of game dev community) should never complain about bad UX imo. You've literally hit rock bottom, be glad with the improvements you get

[proud jay]

I think the only thing that makes unreal "harder" than unity is the c++ vs c#

but you can do bp if you want

I still haven't beat it >.> I think my friend and I get fairly far in our "DnD" run before we stopped playing bc scheduling

I've been wanting to start a solo playthrough but I haven't decided what anime character I want to recreate :P. And I'm still playing through MGSV and Starfield atm...

[timber viper]

I'll do hayasaka or rem xD

[lofty lark]

I'll have to see if I have a picture of my Tohru somewhere

[fleet tangle]

That's the maid from kaguya, right?

[timber viper]

yep

[fleet tangle]

Heh.

[deep glen]

Quinn did

[timber viper]

@lofty lark holy fking shit

I cant start playing

it will take 6 hours to create a character

i dont want hayasaka anymore

[lofty lark]

😂

[lofty lark]

Who is that?

Or is this not based off an anime character

I'm a fan regardless

[delicate minnow]

what are the odds that these two posts are under each other on my reddit feed lmao

[timber viper]

something I did randomly

[lofty lark]

The character creation is great isn't it

[timber viper]

this vs previous

or this

[lofty lark]

I'm between this one and the previous

[lofty lark]

Secretary by day.
Monster killer by night.

[woven wing]

Can people stop releasing good games for a while

I got stuff to do

[arctic grail]

I got a question. Is there any documentation or discussion surrounding the typography of Unreal? I've been trying to figure out what the main two fonts (besides the title font) are in the game + manual but I haven't been able to match anything. And I'm fairly certain it is not some variant of Arial or Impact by this point.

[woven wing]

Excited to play it!

I wonder what the over/under is for 'cowboys in space'

At least 40%

[lofty lark]

@timber viper Here's my Tohru and apparently a Rimuru.

[woven wing]

What is this?

[lofty lark]

My PS4 took ages to load that game ;-;

Code Vein @woven wing

[white oxide]

is it possible to have the game send a deleted save to the players recycle bin instead of 100% erasure? in case they accidentally erase the wrong one?

[unborn lotus]

Isn't it easier to do incremental saves?

[white oxide]

No, im talking how in a lot of games when you hit "delete save" its gone period

Like if you do it by accident on controller or erased the wrong one its note destroyed just sent to recycle bin

[coral widget]

bro wants an operative system for his save games 🙂

fair enough, it's up to the developers to implement this and of course it's possible, why not?

at least today it is, way back in the day you had serious constraints specially in consoles.

[zinc wagon]

Well you need to actually delete it. You can do a check on game init if the save is older that lets say a week and if so delete it. Otherwise keep it in the "bin"

[white oxide]

More that ive had games where i accidentally erased the wrong file because i thought it was a variant peasant ticks me off so i quick save to murder them then load back

[errant raven]

Supernatural is honestly a weird fucking show

Why do they find heaven so hard to be real in the early seasons even tho they meet/kill/exorcise demons from christianity and go to hell

One cant exist without the other

[zinc wagon]

I can relate and I'd honestly appreciate to have a bin for saves in a game 😄

Instead of restarting the game but I accidentally deleted the save I did before genociding people in what supposed to be a pacifist run lol (looking at you dishonored)

[broken violet]

Anyone know what channel I could go about asking for input and feedback on a project I'm working on?

I got some stuff and I sort of just want to know the general consensus for gameplay direction

[unborn lotus]

#design-chat 😢

[broken violet]

Hmm alright, thanks

[worldly sapphire]

My editor bugged out a bit and apparently I'm a sphere trigger

[unreal ether]

some music behind the scenes

[pearl magnet]

@zinc wagon my laptop

only somewhat thin one I could find with a dedicated gpu

[zinc wagon]

ooh i like the laptop stand! and considering how most of my pc components are like from 2016 i'd say this is more powerful then what i have 😅

[pearl magnet]

it's mostly on par with my desktop I think

my desktop has an rtx 2070 and a 3600X (6cores)

the laptop has an rtx 3060 and an i7-11800h (8cores)

for 1100€ I think it is decent, bought it last month

might upgrade the ram in the future, but for now the 16gb is enough

[zinc wagon]

for me i have:
i3 8100 cpu
gtx 1060 with 3gb of VRam
and 8 gb of ram
and no ssd :)

[pearl magnet]

no ssd sounds awful

especially with how cheap ssds are nowadays

[zinc wagon]

but honestly it kept up well for me. as long as i can use unreal and passing the 50fps mark im happy

[zinc wagon]

oh they're overpriced to hell where i live 🫠

[pearl magnet]

I have 1.5 tb in my laptop
initially had 500gb but I upgraded it with another 1tb ssd <50€

[zinc wagon]

especially cause the demand for high end component are really low here it's hard to get a reasonable priced components here

[pearl magnet]

and 1tb for <50€ can't be complained about

[zinc wagon]

i found an 250 ssd for like $120 when i was considering to upgrade few months back

[pearl magnet]

what

😭

[zinc wagon]

decided it was best to just not after that lol

[pearl magnet]

jesus christ

[zinc wagon]

it is what it is tho

now im just doing my best to move out

hopefully to a country with cheap ssd prices 😄

[pearl magnet]

where are you from

[proud jay]

I think his mother's uterus

[zinc wagon]

ok grandpa

but yeah im from algeria

[proud jay]

aren't things already kinda cheap there

[zinc wagon]

unless i go the black market

[proud jay]

you mean the african american market right

[zinc wagon]

but i'd need to be affiliated with a gang to actually buy stuff from there

[proud jay]

do they call it african african in nigeria 🤔

[zinc wagon]

no the algeria black market

[proud jay]

it was a joke

[zinc wagon]

probably just african lol

[proud jay]

of people saying you should say african american instead of black

when refering to people

[zinc wagon]

wait really?

[lofty lark]

🇺🇸

[zinc wagon]

that doesnt make sense lmao

[lofty lark]

yeah a lot of that type of stuff dont lol

[zinc wagon]

cause like i could move to america and i could technically be african american but im not black

[lofty lark]

or you could be from jamaica. black but not african, nor american, nor both.

[proud jay]

the sjw would say you're racist if you called yourself african american

I didn't say it made sense

[zinc wagon]

oh how dare me

[proud jay]

americans are wild

[zinc wagon]

true dat

[proud jay]

in a way we're all african

like a long time ago

[lofty lark]

culture appropriation much smh

[zinc wagon]

but they do make twitter a much more enjoyable platform to browse lol

[proud jay]

do they?

are you on a different twitter?

[zinc wagon]

idk what do you see on twitter?

i mostly get like memes and some dumb american politics

[proud jay]

well I mostly don't go on twitter

but all the crazy extremists are on there

conspiracy theorists and the likes

[zinc wagon]

yep! their interactions are so funny for me

[lofty lark]

This discussion makes america seem like a zoo exhibit from y'alls perspective lol.

[proud jay]

they are

at this point I just assume an american is crazy and probably braindead until the opposite is proven

[zinc wagon]

i mean maybe im biased but it feels like it is 😅

[lofty lark]

ᵃⁿᵈ ⁱᵐ ⁱⁿ ᵗʰᵉ ᵉˣʰⁱᵇⁱᵗ

[proud jay]

sorry for your loss

[zinc wagon]

guilty until proven innocent lol

[lofty lark]

There be non crazy and non braindead people here

They know to avoid social media

[fleet tangle]

The tourists don't count.

[lofty lark]

I'm not crazy, so we got a sample of 1

[zinc wagon]

and first gen immigrants

[proud jay]

unfortunately the normal ones are overshadowed by the vocal minority

as on twitter, like 90% of tweets comes from 5% of users

to give one example

also "normal" doesn't reach international "news"

but still american culture is strange to me

[zinc wagon]

yeah but i think the people should take a stance to stop those extreme news from defining them

[proud jay]

my in-laws went there recently, they did not like the people

they experienced most of them to be rude and driven by only money

[lofty lark]

it is whack. I think Hugh Laurie said this actually but "america is too big to know itself."

Which, to me, seems about right

[lofty lark]

yeah that sounds about right too. Especially when you are in the city

[zinc wagon]

you got the american media to thank for that. it's filled with movies preaching about the "american man" and how america is just the best with no exceptions

[lofty lark]

ya gotta visit the small towns in the south. People be nice down there. Maybe a lil too nice, I didn't even get carded when buying alcohol down there lol

or maybe they are calling me old by not doing that

[fleet tangle]

Taking a stance is an extreme action.

[lofty lark]

We are the best 🇺🇸™

[zinc wagon]

if it realized it's weakness i think people would be more humble

[fleet tangle]

America is the best at thinking it's the best, while actually being very middling.

[lofty lark]

I don't hate america fwiw. I just think the country has devolved far from what it use to represent, which was complete and utter freedom. Do (mostly) what you want, believe in what you want, and say whatever you want.

[proud jay]

america seems to want to live in constant fear and making everything political

[zinc wagon]

well taking an extreme stance is the extreme action. im not saying those new shouldnt be broadcast but news should choose the wording carefully to actually cover the truth instead of generlizing like "the people think that..., the left, the right...ect"

[proud jay]

and stretch capittalism to the extremes

[lofty lark]

but instead its a country completely run by corporate entities and corrupt politicians 🙃

[zinc wagon]

yep! america as a concept is great imo but i really hate what it is right now

[zinc wagon]

well americans dont it's the higher ups who want to intimidate the average person into doing stuff that benifits the rich

[fleet tangle]

Truth doesn't make money. End of story.

[proud jay]

unfortunately this also spreads to other countries

[fleet tangle]

Except it's not.

[lofty lark]

Just like america intended We da best™

[zinc wagon]

yeah cause they look at america and they see a rich and powerful country and they aspire to be the same without realizing the dirty work it did to rich that level

or they dont care and want the money and power

[proud jay]

maybe america would still be a normal country if ww2 never happened

I blame hitler

[fleet tangle]

America has hard-line stances in drugs, sex, alcohol, intolerance of religion, etc. Just about the only thing that's relatively free are guns.

[proud jay]

getting thrown out of the hospital cause you can't pay the bill is also free though

[fleet tangle]

Not as extreme in some areas as the middle east, for instance, but it's hardly "free". It's conservative Christian bullshit all over.

[proud jay]

it's free as long as you agree with the government

[lofty lark]

It's the only thing left 🥲

[fleet tangle]

"separation of church and state" is also a ridiculous claim.

[mossy nexus]

American tourist over in the UK was pleading with people not to call an ambulance after he crashed his car. He couldn't wrap his head around the idea he wasn't going to be charged. [small note - you can actually be charged for hospital stuff but it's very situational]

[zinc wagon]

unpopular opinion but i think US is far past the point to ban guns outright and it should instead develop ways to protect the people from gun users. not giving guns to crazy people is a great start

putting cops near schools and public areas is a good next step too

[mossy nexus]

Just let them have muskets

[lofty lark]

sry mate but the media and politicians can use these tragedies to push their agenda on disarming the us citizens. govt can't pass that up 🥲

[zinc wagon]

honestly not a bad idea

[mossy nexus]

Have metal detectors, security gates, armed guards in schools. yeah sounds like a free society 😄

[lofty lark]

not giving guns to crazy people is a great start
Majority of them aren't obtained legally anyways. There is a massive amount of illegal gun trade in the US. Just like drugs.

[mossy nexus]

or let them have guns, but zero ammo

[zinc wagon]

completely free society is a not a good idea imo. there's need to be some sort of restriction to protect the people from themselves

[zinc wagon]

or just air soft guns

[mossy nexus]

of course, a totally free society would mean anarchy

[zinc wagon]

like "it's your freedom until it crosses mine" type of deal

[lofty lark]

Imo it's not a gun control issue, it's a culture/societal issue. More gun control isn't going to shut down illegal gun trade, it'll only exacerbate the issue.

[mossy nexus]

Total law and total anarchy are both absolutes, society cannot survive either

[zinc wagon]

yep. a nice middle ground solution is almost always the best

[zinc wagon]

but changing the culture of the people is not easy and can be a time consuming task. but from my warped lens that i see the US in i have the impression that when the Millennials take control from gen-x the issue would hopefully be fixed

i using "fixed" loosely here but yeah

[mossy nexus]

There is too much money in making devices that can kill. Most of the GOP are neck deep in companies that make such things.

[lofty lark]

I just wanna live peacefully in the mountains with no one around. Is that too much to ask

[mossy nexus]

Apparently, yup. 😄

[zinc wagon]

oof yeah good point

[zinc wagon]

the plan at this point seems to just survive and collect as much money as possible then move to japan 😛

[lofty lark]

LMAO

I was literally just typing about how I'd like to get a country side house in japan

omg

your timing is impecable.

[proud jay]

people have weird obsessions with japan

not that I've ever been there

but it also has a lot of issues

like aging population and work culture

[lofty lark]

The nature side of Japan seems so enticing to me

[mossy nexus]

What I find really weird is that there seems to be a certain type of person that proclaims they don't want or like any of this lefty socialist crap. However, we all live in a society and wanting the best, safest place for ourselves in that society. Damn straight I'm a socialist, I like the idea of society doing well. 😄

[zinc wagon]

yeah but it is a killer place to retire in

and the people there from what i see are very welcoming

[proud jay]

don't kill people pls

I wish japan wasn't that far

would love to visit

but I'm already broke by the time I get there

[lofty lark]

I've had an interest in Japan since I was a kid. I wanted to make games for a living. Japan was like, the place for game development. So 7/8 year old me was all like, "I wanna go to japan"

And I love east-asian cuisine. Be it chinese, japanese, korean.

But Tokyo scares me 😅 I am not a fan of big cities

[proud jay]

same

maybe I should go there on honeymoon

[lofty lark]

I would if I was you

I want to visit next year but traveling to a foreign country for the first time alone when I dont speak the language of that country is quite intimidating tbh

[zinc wagon]

tbf i think capitalism is a good system expect for few stuff that needs to be polished out. if you have some free time i recommend looking up the islamic financial system. imo it the most fair system there is

but im muslim so maybe im biased 😅 but trust me i tried to look at it in an unbiased lens and i think it's really fair

[proud jay]

what does it do different

(please don't kill me in your holy war)

[zinc wagon]

holy wars are forbidden in islam so you're safe 🙃

[zinc wagon]

interest for example is completely eliminated. people need to give i think was 5%~ish of the money they kept for over year to charities

[proud jay]

why do you ever lend money then

just out of the goodness of your heart?

[zinc wagon]

i think just implementing these two changes would change the quality of life of most capitalist countries

[proud jay]

what is the second change?

[zinc wagon]

investment for instance. but to just lend money with an interest is a policy that will only benifit the lender

[zinc wagon]

people need to give i think was 5%~ish of the money they kept for over year to charities

[delicate minnow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWMLVZF3pGc

this is actually amazing lol

[lofty lark]

aint gonna work in large scale america. you gotta become the stairs i step on to ascend sry mate

[proud jay]

this just encourages spending all your money though

[zinc wagon]

but that would be stupid tho. you will need save up money either way

plus 5% wont make a drastic change in your livelihood

of course there are exceptions

[proud jay]

well it means you'd need to save more over the years to reach your goals

like saving for a house will take longer if you need to give away 5% every year

[zinc wagon]

but you'll only do that once a year

[proud jay]

I don't save enough in one year to buy a house

[proud jay]

but like a personal loan has no benefit to the person lending the money

like why would a bank give me money to buy a house if they don't get anything from it

[zinc wagon]

but you'll need to just work for less than a month to get that 5% back so im not seeing the issue here?

[zinc wagon]

in my country they would have some policies that kinda "hooks" you into paying to other services. for example they'll lend you money but require you to use this company for electricity

also you could take/give investment money

[fleet tangle]

So you'll bank with them and they get your other business. Admittedly, it's usually the other way around...
