oh you're a 2003 kid
I said roughly π
hes 2002
that's such a bizzare thought
20 yo
mine?
this lol
lol I don't want to reveal my birth year for some reason
so I won't π
2002 isnt it?
i mean, if you're 20, you're either 2003 or 2002
50 years late: it's weird seeing people dates started with 1 alive
or a time traveler
I just told you I don't want to reveal it π
we have 2 month left so the rate is 2/12
that ambiguity is enough
bro you revealed your age! what change revealing your birth year would make lol
ok but can't you just say "yo, it's a boy" and move on with your life
I see we have quite the comedians here
aint that what you do
"yo its a boy π₯³ "
ehhhhh
christmas didnt make sense for me either
me either
I think it's mostly muricans
and I live in fucking India, babies are born every microsecond
well it's just an excuse to get together
BABYLMG
evolving from religion
baby linus media group?
baby light machine gun
well yeah if you know that then gender party reveal is just the same thing
humans.
I don't actually know anyone that had a gender reveal party
wait, what? won't the docs tell you the gender of your baby when they're born?
hmm maybe thats true
sry mate but this is america
i also dont understand that part
you cant assign their gender
most people know it before lol
that baby can think for itself, thanks sweaty
gender reveal party is before birth
oh yeahhh that stuff is banned in India
we should start calling it sex reveal party
oh TIL
well maybe it's cause of the killing girls thing
that's exactly why
tell that to holy mary
shorten it to sex party
so have you guys considered not killing girls?
apparently not
that's kinda hard with holy mary being dead and all
just use speak with the dead amulet
anyone got music? youtube keep fucking recommend me the same stuff over and over
I haven't gotten that drop yet :/
wtt for speak with the dead amulet
I would drop my Spotify playlist but it'll reveal personal information so I won't
sweet dream on jazz gotta be the most awesome thing i have heard today
one day you'll slip up and we'll find out your birth year
come visit my grave to find the answer to the question that matters the most to you π
oh wait, I'll probably not have a grave
have some sleep token

depends on how religious the people who're alive by the time I flatline

I feel like Blue Man would like Sleep Token since he likes Falling In Reverse 
now that i heard you guys music i just realize i like music that have good
rhythm i dont really care about the lyric xd
I don't want a grave. I want a ship burial. I think they're neat.
what kind of mistakes are you talking about
burrying alive for example
why do you care anyway. You are dead already. Idk why do people care about anything after death
because it'd be cool
but how do you feel cool when you are dead
you can think about the coolness before you die
here's my playlist
yeah but i mean then 1s after you die anyway
I changed my profile and playlist names
fun fact: that's how we do it!
in India, I mean
I want to have the most psychologically scarring funeral ever
yessir I do π
it's quite common here too
India it's probably more common since there are so many people, not enough ground to bury them in
it is? wow
no, it's for religious reasons
I see
yes yes ik
you mean it's masked as religiour reason
what?
not sure, really
it just happens
even in Indian movies, they show a character getting lit on fire
that's how I know
what happened here?
an indian tried to scam you?
I got mentioned and then it's gone by the time I got to it
the one between europe and UK?
why would I care about that
you got proof?
Do you have any proof that you beat it before me?
Do you have proof that I don't have access? Checkmate.
Was this for the unreal game jam thingy people were talking about?
As if I'd divulge such critical information to a stranger!
Nice try ponkkis. But I had my tea, your tricks won't work on me.
Your game has my support 
and ony a little bit racist
silly red pandas
but Easy and Normal mode only unlock after you finished Hard
red panadas -> easy
pandas -> normal
bears -> hard
no i got one better
silly little red panadas -> easy
happy little red panadas -> normal
spicy red panadas -> hard
Playing Lies of P and now mad
If you're going to give an enemy a cool lightning sword that is on fire, he better drop it!
i didn't know they could stand like that
it's the perfect pose for huggin em
if I want dodge gimbal lock how I can change entry floats from Mouse X Y which I am setting to control rotation pitch and yaw?
Hm what do you mean?
This is ridiculous
Why are my posts on the Unreal Engine reddti page getting auto deleted ??
i think they have some rule that you require a certain amount of posts or karma to post on that sub
facing the same issue on many subreddits
pretty sure that's just blocked by automod
That's stupid
No wonder reddit died/is dying
Just saw Microsoft's ad for their version of chatgpt
On bing I think
"#Import Python"???
Hey hey, chill with the praises smh
lol
I mean you act like it was some power trip but it wasn't really like that
excep that now you're pretty much forced to use the shitty first party app
Reddit started replacing mod teams so everyone realised it was useless
It wasn't a bluff at all lol
They started doing it lol
A protest is useless when you a) announce the length of it, and b) the thing you're protesting has complete control of the app you're protesting on
I wonder why. Shocker
It was never going to work anyway lol
I mean not really
You're forgetting they have complete ownership and rights over the platform being used to protest
They can do whatever they want
A protest isn't going to work when they can, and started to shut it down
Who said it would take less than a month?
I'm sure Reddit wouldn't struggle that much. Target the biggest ones first and you've got most of it back up and running.
Of course it wouldn't, but the majority don't care. They just wanna scroll through their memes and don't give a single shit about protests
also, like 90% of users are on like 50 subs
all the others are dead af
I'm in a sub with 13k followers and it's already top 5%
Who cares if someone 10k member sub stays blacked out with no mod replacement
You target the largest subs and you've got the users back. The rest are just a rounding error
well those are affected the most though
ok but there's a lot more people scrolling through the big subs
so if the big ones are shut down, you lose more revenue
That's just how shutting things down works though? You're gonna target the most influential, and not really care much about the scattered remnants
a lot of the major subs have the same mods btw
I don't know how you gather they make the most money from people searching things in niche subs, versus millions of users now using the official app to browse memes
It does though. Replace a couple of power mods and you can get most of the largest subs back up and running
Reddit has a long history of power mods that are more Reddit aligned than user aligned
Which is kinda dumb but
That's what mods are for.
it was garbage, still is but worse
Absolute dumpster fire
It was already a burning garbage pile, and musk went and chucked a 100 gallon drum of lighter fluid on it
I'm curious how subreddit "owners" factor into this.
How do you mean?
It's definitely delusions
I did not
what do you mean your master lol
are you a slave?
oh I saw this lol
they were mad
maybe Mentor is a better word for that
weird
wtf
Hey, blood is nutritious.
remind me to never go to missouri
why wait, when you can move now
quickly pack your things and go
Human blood perhaps. Idk about you but black pudding is delicious
Drinking straight blood though is an oddity
I've heard it's difficult to digest when raw, but otherwise fairly benign
maybe he's a vampire
Only time I've heard of it, is various tribes drink cows blood for religious reasons
Oh I've also heard of crazy people claiming they're vampires
you know, classic american
how often does ass kicking happen in missouri
that's not very civil
Oh yeah I heard of those people
Missouri: the ass-kicking capital
What We Do In The Shadows
Nandor the Relentless
Baron's Night Out
We drank the blood of some people, but the people were on drugs, and now i'm a wizard!
America is certainly one of the places of all time
at least they successfully brainwashed their population into thinking it's the greatest place on earth
did you just assume my gender
Forgetting the Gals smh
Same
apart or a part
almost thought you wanted apartheid
no one is holding you back
hapiness just sells better
people want to escape from the sadness of their actual life
Wonder if it's still true that most players never reach the ending
I can believe they sell a lot worse, but it doesn't bother me much at all
I think so
You're in the wrong industry then :P
I know I don't complete a bunch of games
Ironic coming from you
that's why I prefer shorter games like 4 - 20 hours
No offense but everything you say seems of low intellect
I'm not gonna finish something that is 100 hours probably
No offense but here's something quite offensive
Intelligence persues you, but you're faster
was thinking the same thing lol
Love hiking on shirts
Saying no offense before being offensive is the equivalent of saying a threat followed by 'in minecraft'
Even if you said it i already stated I have no interest in women
are you ai generated andrew tate?
you do seem to sound like one of those pseudo intellectuals
No offense tho
I'd never be bald
We will never understand him. He escaped the matrix π
Red panda
Lounge revival care package is always welcome
How does it feel to have a red panda gif with no red in it?
but are those red pandas on the grindset
Draining..
Petition to ban this twat
Living people dont hate red pandas
it seems andrew tate reprofilated after being in jail https://tenor.com/view/bottom-g-andrew-tate-gif-7104151369790421621
That is far too many 't's in a word
I'd say it in german but I'd spend 15 minutes typing out the whole word
damn he could be a stripper, should watch out to not get human trafficked though
might want to learn to type a bit faster mate
Aw
Look at it trying to be all threatening and failing so hard
Uses the whole alphabet 7 times
It's ok you don't have to lie to yourself
flugzeug
the only german I know"is ich kann nicht deutsch sprechen" but I forgot what it means
Schmetterling
lol
that's really bad grammar though
Something about not being able to speak German maybe
I think it means "we need more red pandas"
Yes, my mistakes
Everything on earth has a form of communication
two
Wdym
they said incapable of speech
learn to read
not incapable of communication
was reading not covered in the alpha male course
You can't complain about the absence of speech in a text chat channel.
to what
Does it really matter
Being 1% of every race on earth isn't going to make your life easier/better
And nobody else cares about what you are, because somewhere on earth theres millions more that are the same as you
you should see a therapist my guy
Are you really living if you hate red pandas tho
don't live your life for others lol
they're overrated!
Because ethnicity is irrelevant?
But it is
because you seem to care so much out of what Lamp gets enjoyment and try to depress them instead
but consider: Red Velvet Raccoons
Saying one thing shows overwhelming care about someone's enjoyment of something?
the fact that you comment on it in a negative manner or even at all says enough
That was possibly the most epic high five I've seen
it was a high ten though
and get of that basement, go take a walk in the park
Turn off that Andrew Tate podcast
watch some bottom g instead
Hikes are great
There's some great spots here in the UK
Peak District is such a beautifully chill place to have a wander
I wish there was more hiking opportunity here
While this is an informal channel, such language is not allowed and can be regarded as offensive. Kindly delete and avoid using it in the future.
Thank you!
last hike I went to there was a thunderstorm on all sides and lightning..barely made it before the rain
We have caves galore. Mainly because the UK has been mined to death and back
We have had to move entire villages because of cave ins lmao
yeah but there was no cover, it was pretty scary
Look at the story of Arkwright if you're interested
That would be a hard no
There is still quite some nature!
π
I found quite some nature in Bulgaria when I was there
We have plenty of true nature in the UK. A lot of the UK has very strict preservation
And massive punishments for breaking it
and Romania. so wild it's full of bears
Now where I'm from in the Netherlands, every single cm2 is planned out xD
Tons and tons of forests, and the peak District is mostly untouched beauty
If there is a tree somewhere, it's because it's planned to be there
at least it's not underwater
If you're dutch I better delete that one video I posted a week or so ago π
π
Really beautiful landscapes and woodland to walk in
was it this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMWSxxUmuBo
a link to a youtube video
I have so much love for this one
did she just sing "you think I'm cum?"
Dumb
Most stuff that is developed there is as non invasive as possible. You've got reservoirs and farms and such but that's about it, apart from the odd village
Not even close
Leuk filmpje. Sub wanneer je leuk vond. Niet boos worden om de clip is NEP.
Okay I just took a week off and wtf happened to Unity man
The villages are legally mandated to be built in certain styles from Derbyshire Grit stone as well, to keep its historic aesthetic
Thank god I switched
Also
What the f is with YouTubers I mean I get it but now they're just milking it
π¬
This one is satire though
youtubers wanting to make money from their job? how dare they
Like some of them be pumping 10 videos an hour about it man
high population density in a lot of areas
A lot of it is just because a lot of Europe has laws that care about it's people
only western europe π
Still ya gotta love it
imagine corporations lobbying for shit they want and getting away with it perfectly fine
What part of capitalism do you not understand
I don't like how big trucks are becoming popular...those gigantic f150
Capitalism is still far better than communism
Europe is capitalist too but it also does a good job of not crippling everyone
they don't even fit in a lot of historic cities here haha
It's one or the other
I hate them. No one needs these things at all. They are incredibly dangerous.
yeah, totally useless, even for "carrying" stuff - same cargo bed
But that's an absolute!
This carries more then those shitty cargo beds
only two seats though
ok but how do you show the world that you have a small penis then though
Cargo beds are the biggest scam
Let me have less storage and it can all get wet
Win win
Fixed
true
- why do you want your family vehicle to also be your work vehicle
because I'm poor π¦
well tbh I don't have a work car
That's why you buy a trailer bed for the back of your truck
I thought we were all rich indie game devs here
I would one of those big vans to cram a lot of people into cause I want 3 kids, but company cares are never those cool vans
But the idea of that van is that the front is still LOW. Which makes it so much more safe
I hope not
hiipa alert
my own kids*
my dad had a whole american truck phase decades ago, got a chevrolet avalanche
he paid me to get a truck driving license (so a C license) so I could drive it too
I mean if you're offering it's rude to refuse
you need a C license for those f150 trucks?
Best family car is a ford Mondeo titanium X
Hes a good man, Chevy >> fords
Plenty of storage and 5 seats
don't put cars in cats
Cheap to insure
I just drive a station wagon, or a farmari as we say π
You're confused, that's an energy drink. Monsters are not trucks
It's missing railings on the top to tie down more stuff up above
Do monster energy advertise on monster trucks?
If they don't can someone put me in touch with the chief marketing officer? I have some money to make
Ironic since it's meant to give you wings
You'd think they have passenger jets where the fuselage looks like a red bull can
That is weird
I've never understood product placement in games
I'm pretty sure it is its own truck with the same name as monster energy
If not grave digger might, it does match its existing colour scheme
nobody cares about what the truck is, because somewhere on earth theres millions more that are the same as that truck
Ok..
Ethnicity == sponsored trucks
Doest that mean that Apache attack helicopter is a actually sexuality now?
I am
It's not really a choice
Isnt a problem
Not really
Before or after he died
Yeah you can
Pre written letters/recorded videos
Pfft someones never seen a ghost movie
I don't think you're gonna get out of therapy if you're pre recorded
Goosebumps was never my cup of tea. Read some of the books when I was super super young but other than that I lost interest
My nostalgia fuel of choice is the original tomb raider games
I like some good old disturbing horror like hereditary or midsommar
Which made me super hyped for the remaster
damn, you must be rich if your family is Nintendo
didn't know Japan was in missouri though
how do you feel about the state pretty much being called misery
20s adulthood is pretty rough, 30s is where it's at
It doesn't take that long to build a house, trust me, I've seen Minecraft
I don't think dieter is in much danger of that personally
getting a permit takes longer than building in minecraft
yeah I don't have a uterus
so that would be hard
why just your dad
both can use protection
blame both your parents!
well if they planned on having 7 that's fine
if not, they are indeed a bit stupid
You're gonna be so grounded
Laura is older than 27 lol
way older
Ouch you just went nuclear
@sand oxide Damnnnn you're a i7 7200u?
not if they wanna port it from unity
well Laura is never gonna die either so we're good
dragonHell's blessing will protect us all
they have the dad jokes ready
is that family of Alexander Graham Bell?
he made the first telephone
or at least the first to patent it
why you stop typing @trail ore
throw it out there
man, it's still so awkward that my home office is right at the side of the road, so I see the post man putting things in my mailbox
They arent very smart I'll tell ya hwat
at least you have something in common
Red pandas are better when they're red
Asian raccoons
You might love Disney's movie about the red panda
It was something
Wasnt something I wanted
Toy story 5 is more like it
Nah
Need more kingdom hearts lore
Bring on the sequels
@rancid root On a old topic, since you're Dutch. How much German/Frisian/Flemish can you understand before it sounds like gibberish?
Flemish and dutch are 95% the same except for pronunciation
I'd ask about the whole Germanic language family tree but those 3 are long enough and you're taught U.K english in school
when speaking "normally" they can understand eachother perfectly well
from my experience at least
of course if you throw in dialect it can get fucked up
but that's with any language
they sound very differen though
but use mostly the same words
Dutch will sound a lot harsher than flemish
I'm not dutch
I am flemish
the people or the food?
Why remember the people who invented stepping on a lego
Laura you arent making it any better
Just to export the existing lego mold by 500% and call it duplo
Which is worse to step on
I guess stipping on multiple is actually better though
you know, like a bed of nails
one nail bad, whole bed good
It depends on how many
More force is being put onto your feet when standing compared to laying on your back against a bed of nails
4?
4 4 studs or 4 8 studs
This answer is the equivalent of 42
If you know what I mean
Depressed robotic professor snape
Laura you're old, you should know the reference for the number 42
Tf
you should know what sarcasm is
only a true intellectual would understand
I understand more things than a callous Flemish nerd
@proud jay ily i'm sorry
Flemish is really understandable. Epecially since I'm from the south of the Netherlands you know maybe a few more dialect terms, unless they are heavy dialects. Those just get completely messed up. Some terms throw you off in how dissimilar they are. (Afrikaans also has words that we recognize, but can't really place in terms of meaning)
German to me sounds half understandable. You can get a good idea of what they're saying.
Frysia we kinda just want to dig a trench around and shove back into the sea. Completely not understandable gibberish.
What about old english
When it made a bit more sense than what it is now
Anglish/anglo-Saxon
maybe BM can cram a wherefore loop in the programming language he's making
XKCD comic intensifies
Yeah frisian was one language I watched a few linguistic videos on by this guy who studies it and has native speakers of sister languages try to see if they can understand it
They struggled a bit with that one
Frisian/old english
Can German speakers understand Old English? Here comes another language challenge dedicated to Germanic languages comparison. Big thanks to @simonroper9218 for coming back to the channel and sharing his Old English expertise with us all. This time we decided to focus on understanding the spoken language. The participants need to guess words desc...
Damm Laura is getting closer in the image, almost don't recognize she 
Did you find out what a technical artist actually is yet
?
Umbrella term for a looot of roles
I asked what it was and you said you wasnt exactly sure yourself π¦
Jack of all trades master of none?
I did reply different things sir
I only remembered the easier one to remember
Yes, is always master of something
Ehh, some roles are jack of all trades some are master.
Is a Rigger a tech artist? Rigger is a very specific mastery.
A pipeline development role could be a jack of all trades role between programming and art.
technical artist is something between artist and developer
like an artist with more than 4 braincells
You're often just doing tasks that fall between art and programming
wtf
You understand the wishes of programmers and artists and are able to create suitable solutions that satisfy both.
So a peace keeper
yeah in some companies used to be only rigger tools developer back in the days, now can be anything, from tools improve, performance improve or shaders creator, and now shaders creator and speedup tools creator are a thing
A bridge
The idea is that programmers and artists speak different languages and you can be the peace bringer yeah :P
but yeah usually the bridge as Robbie says between two worlds, usually tech artists are more in the programmer side than the artistic one
Take this for example :P
They can also be more on the art side of the spectrum. It's a very fluid role :P
hard to see since programming is the common usually
but can id myself as in the more artistic side, but just because I like the art the most
How would you go about making art for an attack
Hevedy does your artistic side speak English?
No one of my sides speak english
How do you mean art? What sort of art style do you have? What sort of attack are you making? Do you have reference of what you're trying to achieve?
But all of your sides have Birthdays π
What I mean is, since I'm not very good at art. I buy or use free asset packs. Some have assets with VFX effects drawn with the attacks or explosions and others have a separate folder for their VFX
When do I draw vfx stuff on the sprite itself/on a standalone png file
However you want to make textures :P
I mostly use Substance Designer. Some people use Photoshop. You can use paint.net, Gimp, etc etc
Or render it out in fluid simulation software like embergen, Houdini etc.
Then you do material and Niagara magic
I use aseprite :p paid program for something I'm not even good at (yet)
Paid or free the version isnt any different
don't use pixel art to apply to big companies btw
What's wrong with pixel art
Everything is pixel art if you zoom in enough
is this #generative-ai
Someone good at non pixel art can probably adapt easier to pixel art as opposed to the inverse I imagine
Plus pixel art is a very specific niche
more pixels = more money
Plus for water do I animate the ripples within the Sprite itself or use a shader for that?
likely shader
The magic 8 ball of programming
Do shaders give more freedom with what can be done for water effects without giving up much performance loss
i returned
and i have weird question
what if normal c++ code is better than blueprints in UE? is it?
What does that even mean
What's normal c++ code
What are you using it to do
Define better
like what if normal c++ code is better than bp in UE duh
ok that was stupid question
wtf, discord nitro is 10 bucks a month
i mean that
who tf would pay for that
I don't know how you've managed to make this less clear
no, thats "normal code"
ok but what does this have to do with unreal
and i wonder what if that is better than BP if u know c++ basics
you can use c++ in unreal
which is in general more powerful and versatile, if that's your question
but you need both
well, need is a lot, ideally though
You'll also be using unreal's API, not entirely std::
Which is why "normal c++" is such an odd part of the question..
What's abnormal c++.
Do you hope to only use the standard library for ue logic?
let me explain my worries
i learnt c++ (coded supermario clone in 2 weeks)
and gonna re-learn about c++ logic again
but im still rookie
rn i want to go into gamedev, but i dont want to go that way like: "make own UE shooter game tutorial"
because i want to make "not-memory-heavy" not bugged game, not some dumpster
Knowing vanilla c++ doesn't make you good at ue. You still have to know the engine and blueprints.
You can also make a non memory heavy, not bugged game in bp
C++ knowledge helps a ton, and you get to play with the fun stuff
i mean, apex legends on PS5 is much heavier than witcher3
what's your point
Apex Legends is somehow made in Source engine btw
I didn't know that until recently
No way.... really?!
Like the source engine.
Not some custom engine that they confusingly named?
How tf did they pull that off in that fossil
can you really publish something on steam with BP only? Like there are some parts that seem incredibly complicated - cloud saves, updates, loading screens, etc without which your game looks like a hack
they ported cs:go to source 2
You can. In some cases you might need a couple of plugins to help you out. But you can totally publish some smaller scale stuff without BP.
Though I would still use the .1% cpp to avoid BP struct issues
But you can work with them
was their best chance, since the ratchet & clank one funny enought were outdated
It's just like how you can punch a wasps nest and maybe not get stung.
But you should still probably not do that :P
the new ratchet & clank looks lit though
this was from the 3
yeah
or am I missing something
and source from valve
well, at 2019 apex was 20gb, now its 56gb
witcher 3 is 32gb
Again what's your point
I still don't see your point related to using c++ or something though
BP doesn't magically add 34GB
they already customized the fuck out of it for titanfall 2
that im searching for tutorial to learn UE5 from scratch, not by "today i show you how to make shooter"
are you sure though
ah I see how this relates to comparing game install sizes now
You won't find one. Large scope for a tutorial.
it isnt directly related, i just want to make a game fully conscious about what im making, without spagetthi code and adding useless libraries that only takes memory
You learn by ue5 by using it lots. Part of that stage probably encompasses "here make shooter" or other project
you can make garbage in both bp and c++ though
nah tutorials taught me tick is bad. i use a timer set to .016s instead. now i always get 60fps
C++ knowledge also doesn't stop you from adding useless libraries
yeah, and im searching for second one, i want theory
In fact it makes it easier
yes what do you want me to do
true but knowing theory of c++ and good habits prevents from making mistakes
yeah i know, but still, its better to understand what im coding
and i know that yt tutorials will not teach me it
They will. If you absorb the concepts behind it rather than blindly copy pastinf
idk if theres good course focusing on theory, and things like classes/objects/structs etc
You won't find a "gain complete veterancy in ue5" tutorial
it would be really nice if #cpp had a bunch of pins on learnint unreal though
shame though that that's not the case
never lucky
@proud jay Titanfall -10
you can actually make some sick stuff in roblox
Call of Duty Roblox is real and I am simply blown away. Seriously? Take a look at what happened. This is Frontlines and it has some classic COD vibes. Leave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching.
there used to be more images from Luma Engine but
Pfft gotta parallel for and destroy all actors each tick
it would be a great engine for luara
i wonder how many money u can get from robux as roblox gamedev
It'll be like mobile games, depends if you go viral.
Sequel is called The Murking of Titanfall 2 cuz EA killed it with that release date
less than 50% after taxes
I mean, kinda like on steam so
Why Laura grapes have hair?
Iceland's currency is weak??
How does Lesotho and eswatini have a stronger currency than iceland??
And russia
Iceland pays with Chromas, preferred in green
yeah
150 Kroma about == 1β¬
steam taking 30%, 34% corporate tax and then personal tax if you pay yourself
kinda reminds me of the money spain used to have, had the same value +-
yeah corporate taxes here are less, that's super hight, jesus
and still high
hm? 
turns out a Turkish peso is $0.0245 more expensive than robux
who would guess
Plastic money is stronger than paper π
What does it matter what the currency is worth, though? Surely even if your currency was worth a millionth of a Robuck, it's about how much you get paid in that currency and the cost of living, etc.
you're missing one thing
or buying a lot internationally
But why are Roblux worth anything?
cause you can buy them
Then you just convert that currency into something else. Doesn't change anything.
Stop buying fake currencies yo
who generated you? 
well it does, cause if your currency is shit compared to USD and you travel to USA, if you convert your month salary it might be enough to buy one meal
Might as well buy Mickey Mouse Disney bucks
cause COL is different
The varying worth of your currency changes things, but not the value at any one specific time or the proportional worth.
you cant even buy a flight ticket to USA with your 3 months of salary lol
I was transpiled from the void
but void alone without ptr doesnt represent anything
and its recommended to use uint8* instead these days
Which I included in my original statement. π
I am nothing, yet I am
You know what bugs me more than conversion rates... the conversion charges
Its actually impossible to predict the charges without knowing what the rate will be in advance. If I had that info I would be gaming the market. Whole thing is a big soggy carp
I managed to exchange pounds to euros and get less than 1.x conversion rate.
How silly that is π¦
I use google finance in my sheet to pull in market rate but paypal, steam etc always have their own rate. Then my bank taxes me on that
Probably.
Im thankful Epic has AUD, USD transactions getting hit hard here even through Paypal
Aussie banks yo, theyre making record profits. Need a merchant account or maybe US companies should get better banks lol
Greenback more like tax
Epic need to get Artstation on that shot already
GST og 10% on US imported software even if its cloud based... work that one out
Nah I'll get taxed on my money on the way out still. I could exachange my money manually to USD get a better rate but GST is charged at the register...whether the company pays taxes here or not
Just keep your money offshore!
10% on AUD aint so bad, its when its 10% on USD
Surely 10% is 10%?
Yanks just forcing me to buy elsewhere
Nah cuz USD is stronger currency
10% is charge pre conversion
But it's still 10%. Plus then a percentage to convert. Even if it was post conversion x * y *z = x * z * y
Then conversion rate is crap and foreign currency fee from the bank.
Unless there's a flat fee.
you can get pretty good exchange rate by using something like Revolut though
AUD rates tend to be cheaper because greenback is hyper inflated
People buy USD just to hold, no one does that with AUD, its not a world currency
So 10% is on an inflated price, if I did conversions on EGS prices for eg AUD would be slightly less even if GST included
In a perfect world you'd get the right rate and 10% would be 10%
I mean the problem isn't the 10%, it's just the conversion charge.
Multiple conversion charges and Im not convinced they pay tax in our country if its foreign currency
So it shouldnt be 10%
We should go back to trading with goats and camels. Praise be to him.
I'll take 10% of that goat, thank you very much.
and some mint sauce
GST is meant to be for services provided within this country so MS serving me Outlook from the US wouldnt really be covered
Theyd probably have local servers but there are instances where they arnt
Like Midjourney
But pretty sure theres no 10% on that but others do charge it
I just like it when I can go yup Google thats $2.49/m when its all USD theres absolutely no way to predict fees month to month
rip, there goes a month's wage
Conan would make a great CEO for Unity
I contacted you by dm but I can't without being your discord friend. Can you accept my request? I'd love to propose something to you π
that's why asking other people you trust for a second opinion can help a lot cause it forces you to reconsider the situation
unless it's effecting you mentally in which case i found dealing with that first before tackling the issue was best
Nvidia is slowly getting crazier with things
1440p internal -> 4k DLSS quality -> 1440p DLDSR
Just to use ray reconstruction at 1440p 'native'
Throw in a little framegen as well, and at this point the whole thing is basically neural-rendered
How long until everything gets collapsed into a 'neural-rendering' quality setting like post-processing is these days
tbf what they did with ray reconstruction is really smart
Yeah, looking at some of the 2077 benchmarks and quality comparisons now and it's kinda crazy
Looks better, and is a small perf bump too
Yeah, it's pretty crazy
They even have some research papers (not sure if they have a real demo) of using neural "cache" for global illumination
We present a real-time neural radiance caching method for path-traced global illumination. Our system is designed to handle fully dynamic scenes, and makes no assumptions about the lighting, geometry, and materials. The data-driven nature of our approach sidesteps many difficulties of caching algorithms, such as locating, interpolating, and upda...
Actually not sure if Cyberpunk pathtracing might be using this, no clue
It's using RTXDI, so I imagine
all of this based on the neural radiance fields which are pretty insane
Basically AI hallucinating an image/3d representation
#nerf #neuralrendering #deeplearning
View Synthesis is a tricky problem, especially when only given a sparse set of images as an input. NeRF embeds an entire scene into the weights of a feedforward neural network, trained by backpropagation through a differential volume rendering procedure, and achieves state-of-the-art view synthesis. It inclu...
Nvidia developers frighten me
Nice yeah wasn't sure if it was actually being used
It's a cool piece of tech
why tho
they call them line traces
or traces. or raycasts

lmao
hey guys
what do you think is keeping cyberpunk now from looking perfectly photoreal?
Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.0 is now available to everyone and brings with it NVIDIA's DLSS 3.5 technology which offers a visual and performance boost with the new Ray Reconstruction feature.
00:00 - DLSS 3.5 Gameplay & Performance (RR+PT+FG DLSS Quality)
07:05 - DLSS 3.5 & Path Tracing Without Ray Reconstruction
09:15 - DLSS 3.5 & Path Tracing W...
This is now full path traced at an astounding quality
but it somehow does not look photoreal to me
Is it a materials/geometry thing?
it's still not 100% pathtraced, it's a combination of standard rasterization + path tracing for lighting and reflections
what part is not path traced?
From what I have seen it is being touted as 100% path traced
lighting, reflections, AO, shadows, GI
I am refering to Overdrive mode with the new dlss 3.5 ray reconstrution magic
yeah i think its the geo
and materials
the paper on the ground for example
its funny how they have the most advanced real time rendering features but such flat props
Yep same
Geometry is rasterized, lighting is basically composited on top like in normal rendering
So lighting is path traced (inlcuding reflections)
So it's not really true 100% path traced image like an offline renderer
In fact you can easily prove this by finding any translucent surface, it looks drastically worse then all other solid objects
So the key difference here is that it is not a real fully path traced image, but rather 100% pathtraced lighting
I am confused what you mean
nvm
Sometimes I hate Linux.
for specificly translucen materials
Mostly when copy/pasting text in the terminal.
I am trying to copy text from one file to another in the terminal. It is surprisingly difficult. lol
No, in real full pathracing the pixels you see are the result of a simulated ray of light bouncing around, the final image is the result of those traces and nothing else, this is what offline renderes do
What cyberpunk does is standard rasterized geometry with path traced lighting, lighting being a separate pass on top
It is using so few samples per pixel that if this was full pathracing the edges of the models would be blurry mushy mess
hmm interesting
so what is the difference in visual quality?
How would that screenshot look better with 100% path tracing?
The difference is that the final output of a full pathtracer is the result of a "physical" simulation of each "ray of light" so for example depth of field and bokeh effects are a side effect of it
As well as light caustics (which you won't find in Cyberpunk for example)
Would this make cyberpunk look 100% realistic I'm not sure, but it would be more realistic for sure
Here is a good video going in details of implementing a pathtracer/ray tracer (similar idea) for example, it explains a lot of this stuff very well https://youtu.be/Qz0KTGYJtUk
I tried creating a custom ray/path tracing renderer. Featuring: maths, shaders, and cats!
This project was written in C# and HLSL, and uses the Unity game engine.

The fact that we even have real time pathtraced lighting in games is pretty insane
Tho I really think they should marketed it as pathraced lighting rather than claiming it's full pathtracing
Because those 2 things are very different
Wow. lol
Thanks. Might need that, although I prefer to use nano. Vim is bizarre to me.
very interseting I did not realize this
I wonder how much different it would look
idk they're pretty amazing i think
Don't get me wrong, what they managed to do in cp2077 with pathtracing is extremely impressive to have it running in realtime π
is the 2.0 update with RR out?
I have to try it myself
k
Yeah the current reflections with pathracing are smudgy, low sample count per pixel plus denoisers
Apparently CP2077 is running a few denoisers
the RR demos do look really good
/screen
oh wait it's out?
2.0 update was out on 21st
ohh
tbh
I somehow didn't realize
it's not all great

NVIDIA's Ray Reconstruction technology, which debuted alongside DLSS 3.5, is now a graphics option in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0. This launches just ahead of the Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty DLC/Expansion and technically can work on all RTX video cards. Ray reconstruction specifical...
this explains the effects and where it works and where it doesn't
it's super glitchy still
UE 5.2 DLSS plugin apparently has RR integration already, but no dll
and the code itself needs UE 5.3
but it's trivial port
Yeah watched it earlier today, thought they got it early
It has some noticeable flaws but curious to see where this tech will go
it's promissing
the main issue I see is that the image with path tracing and RR just looks like watching Mpeg 1 compressed video
and of course on my 20 series GPU, it wasn't really meant to run this mode at all, so had to use DLSS on perf mode which made it look like it had less pixels than DVD movies
with MPEG 1 compression artifacts
and cinematic 24fps
The dlc looks really damn good from the stuff that's been showed
Got some pretty high ratings, like 9/10, 10/10
but yeah, it really isn't meant for that system π
yeah performance mode really does degrade image quality a lot
I don't really plan on using this mode on this gpu at all, but wanted to see the effect of RR
I also already rolled back to ancient nvidia drivers which don't support RR
because.. new drivers are still horribly slow with SDXL on 8GB VRAM GPU
Anyone else excited about the Star Ocean 2 remake coming in November?
when I went back to 531.79 drivers, I got 10 second faster gen per image
never heard of Star Ocean 1
or 2
this is a game, right?
Yeah. It's a great JRPG that was on PlayStation in 1999.
that's quite a lot, how did they manage to ruin it that much with drivers π
there's some memory related issues on newer drivers
ah
actually ComfyUI is still decent speed on newest drivers, but Auto1111 and SD.Next arent
so they probably handle the memory differently here
on ancient drivers from this summer though, they all perform somewhat the same
my last Radeon was from ATI days
I've had issues with both, surprisingly haven't had any on the 4090
But when I was using a 2080S one of the driver updates caused in editor menus to flicker
While on an AMD GPU I had random black screens and BSODs when alt tabbing, equally beyond annoying lol
and their drivers did suck back then π
I did watch some review of some recent AMD GPU and they still complained it wasn't stable
but could have been bad gpu
I've never had GPU die on me
I do wonder how common that is
because I've heard it happen to many
on my previous GPU, the 6900xt it was a pretty smooth experience
Had basically no issues, except that one driver that caused random black screens but was fixed relatively quickly
my old 670 is still in working condition
I don't even want to think how old it is
hmmm
I had that 670 on early ue4 days
so probably decade old now
I think I had a single GPU that died, and that was ages ago, my dad bought it at the time
Think it was GeForce 9800 GTX+, died as I was installing UE4 lol
If it didn't I don't think I would even be able to use UE with it lol
What do I have to do to enable streaming in vc?
oh, well i've definitely been here more than 7 days
Soo. who here has played Dead Matter?
I saw BigFry try to play it, that was enough
@broken sigil would you use this pillow
nope lol
are you always this confrontational or is this just the charm of knowing you?
Trust me I have more important issues to deal with than girlfriends
I don't need another person to give me more problems than the problems I can already barely deal with
my mental image of your irl age wildly swings between 16 and 66
I'm debating between 20 and 90
wanna place bets?
55
hmm, 43
that's old as hell, basically 1 leg in the grave already
||cries in soon to be 24||
buff babyβ¨
its funny that you served in the military and now you take care of US vietnam vets
idk why but i find it hilarious
trust me, I fully understand the feeling of hating even the thought of even 30s
I live with constant existential crisis, anyone I talk to I think about how much time they have left, it really isn't fun
just make some tree noises if they get uppity
ok that was mean
what i said that is
oof
