zinc matrix
lofty lark

I feel cool in my dying breaths

chrome gull
proud jay
#

cremation is not that wild

chrome gull
proud jay
#

I see

chrome gull
proud jay
#

I'm not where you are

chrome gull

proud jay
chrome gull
lofty lark
#

#

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.

austere stirrup
#

This is ridiculous

#

Why are my posts on the Unreal Engine reddti page getting auto deleted ??

celest musk
#

i think they have some rule that you require a certain amount of posts or karma to post on that sub

sweet rose
broken sigil
#

pretty sure that's just blocked by automod

errant raven
#

No wonder reddit died/is dying

errant raven
#

Just saw Microsoft's ad for their version of chatgpt

#

On bing I think

#

"#Import Python"???

#

Hey hey, chill with the praises smh

fluid bloom
unreal ether
#

I mean you act like it was some power trip but it wasn't really like that

proud jay
#

excep that now you're pretty much forced to use the shitty first party app

unreal ether
#

Reddit started replacing mod teams so everyone realised it was useless

proud jay
#

yeah

#

they forcibly just changed mods

unreal ether
#

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

proud jay
#

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%

unreal ether
#

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

proud jay
#

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

unreal ether
#

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

proud jay
#

a lot of the major subs have the same mods btw

unreal ether
#

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

regal pecan
#

That's what mods are for.

proud jay
#

it was garbage, still is but worse

unreal ether
#

Absolute dumpster fire

#

It was already a burning garbage pile, and musk went and chucked a 100 gallon drum of lighter fluid on it

regal pecan
#

I'm curious how subreddit "owners" factor into this.

unreal ether
#

It's definitely delusions

proud jay
#

Elon is definitely braindead

#

he's an autistic 4 year old with billions of dollars

regal pecan
#

I did not

proud jay
#

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

regal pecan
#

Hey, blood is nutritious.

proud jay
#

remind me to never go to missouri

#

why wait, when you can move now

#

quickly pack your things and go

unreal ether
#

Human blood perhaps. Idk about you but black pudding is delicious

proud jay
#

gross

#

I don't like the taste

unreal ether
#

Drinking straight blood though is an oddity

regal pecan
#

I've heard it's difficult to digest when raw, but otherwise fairly benign

proud jay
#

maybe he's a vampire

unreal ether
#

Only time I've heard of it, is various tribes drink cows blood for religious reasons

proud jay
#

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

unreal ether
#

Missouri: the ass-kicking capital

proud jay
unreal ether
#

America is certainly one of the places of all time

proud jay
#

at least they successfully brainwashed their population into thinking it's the greatest place on earth

#

did you just assume my gender

unreal ether
#

Forgetting the Gals smh

proud jay
#

probably yes

#

not for me though

#

but in general, I can believe it

unreal ether
#

Same

proud jay
#

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

regal pecan
#

Wonder if it's still true that most players never reach the ending

unreal ether
#

I can believe they sell a lot worse, but it doesn't bother me much at all

proud jay
#

I think so

unreal ether
#

You're in the wrong industry then :P

proud jay
#

I know I don't complete a bunch of games

errant raven
#

Ironic coming from you

proud jay
#

that's why I prefer shorter games like 4 - 20 hours

errant raven
#

No offense but everything you say seems of low intellect

proud jay
#

I'm not gonna finish something that is 100 hours probably

unreal ether
#

No offense but here's something quite offensive

errant raven
#

Intelligence persues you, but you're faster

proud jay
unreal ether
#

Love hiking on shirts

errant raven
#

Even if you said it i already stated I have no interest in women

you do seem to sound like one of those pseudo intellectuals

How does it feel to have a red panda gif with no red in it?

proud jay
#

but are those red pandas on the grindset

Living people dont hate red pandas

#

That is far too many 't's in a word

errant raven
#

I'd say it in german but I'd spend 15 minutes typing out the whole word

proud jay
proud jay
unreal ether
#

Aw

errant raven
#

Its not speed that matters

#

It's the sheer length of the word

unreal ether
#

Look at it trying to be all threatening and failing so hard

errant raven
#

Uses the whole alphabet 7 times

proud jay
#

I don't think you know german at all

#

gans geil

It's ok you don't have to lie to yourself

the only german I know"is ich kann nicht deutsch sprechen" but I forgot what it means

proud jay
#

Schmetterling

proud jay
#

that's really bad grammar though

errant raven
unreal ether
#

I think it means "we need more red pandas"

errant raven
#

Everything on earth has a form of communication

proud jay
#

two

errant raven
#

Wdym

proud jay
#

they said incapable of speech

#

learn to read

#

not incapable of communication

#

was reading not covered in the alpha male course

errant raven
#

Speech is just sounds

#

Cats use sounds to communicate

#

Dogs too

#

Birds

regal pecan
#

You can't complain about the absence of speech in a text chat channel.

proud jay
#

to what

errant raven
#

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

proud jay
#

you don't understand

#

you're wasting grind time

proud jay
unreal ether
#

Are you really living if you hate red pandas tho

proud jay
#

don't live your life for others lol

unborn lotus
errant raven
#

But it is

proud jay
#

because you seem to care so much out of what Lamp gets enjoyment and try to depress them instead

regal pecan
errant raven
#

Saying one thing shows overwhelming care about someone's enjoyment of something?

proud jay
#

the fact that you comment on it in a negative manner or even at all says enough

unreal ether
#

That was possibly the most epic high five I've seen

proud jay
unreal ether
#

Damnit

#

And red pandas

unborn lotus
#

and get of that basement, go take a walk in the park

unreal ether
#

Turn off that Andrew Tate podcast

Look at some red pandas

Youre absolutely right

Hikes are great

There's some great spots here in the UK

Peak District is such a beautifully chill place to have a wander

Thank you!

#

last hike I went to there was a thunderstorm on all sides and lightning..barely made it before the rain

unreal ether
#

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

unborn lotus
#

yeah but there was no cover, it was pretty scary

Look at the story of Arkwright if you're interested

There is still quite some nature!

rancid root

I found quite some nature in Bulgaria when I was there

unreal ether
#

We have plenty of true nature in the UK. A lot of the UK has very strict preservation

#

And massive punishments for breaking it

unborn lotus

#

Now where I'm from in the Netherlands, every single cm2 is planned out xD

unreal ether
#

Tons and tons of forests, and the peak District is mostly untouched beauty

rancid root
#

If there is a tree somewhere, it's because it's planned to be there

proud jay

We planned for that

Really beautiful landscapes and woodland to walk in

rancid root
#

Dumb

unreal ether

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

errant raven

Okay I just took a week off and wtf happened to Unity man

unreal ether
#

The villages are legally mandated to be built in certain styles from Derbyshire Grit stone as well, to keep its historic aesthetic

What the f is with YouTubers I mean I get it but now they're just milking it

youtubers wanting to make money from their job? how dare they

#

Like some of them be pumping 10 videos an hour about it man

proud jay
#

high population density in a lot of areas

unreal ether
#

A lot of it is just because a lot of Europe has laws that care about it's people

only western europe πŸ˜…

imagine corporations lobbying for shit they want and getting away with it perfectly fine

america really seems money obsessed

it's spreading here too though

What part of capitalism do you not understand

unborn lotus
errant raven
#

Capitalism is still far better than communism

unreal ether
#

Europe is capitalist too but it also does a good job of not crippling everyone

proud jay
proud jay

also no one said they'd prefer communism

I thought we were all rich indie game devs here

proud jay
#

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

rancid root
#

But the idea of that van is that the front is still LOW. Which makes it so much more safe

I hope not

my dad had a whole american truck phase decades ago, got a chevrolet avalanche

#

You're confused, that's an energy drink. Monsters are not trucks

errant raven
proud jay
#

why would they make more than 6

#

even 1 was a mistake

unreal ether
#

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

proud jay
#

redbull has those cars

#

with a can on it

#

yes

unreal ether
#

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

errant raven
#

If not grave digger might, it does match its existing colour scheme

proud jay
#

nobody cares about what the truck is, because somewhere on earth theres millions more that are the same as that truck

errant raven
#

Ok..

#

Ethnicity == sponsored trucks

#

Doest that mean that Apache attack helicopter is a actually sexuality now?

It's not really a choice

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

unborn lotus
#

I like some good old disturbing horror like hereditary or midsommar

unreal ether
#

Which made me super hyped for the remaster

proud jay
#

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

unreal ether
#

Seems accurate given the description

#

Is the state flag just a "☹️"

errant raven
#

That's why they're minorities

#

Not alot of them

proud jay
#

well you can only fuck adult stuff

#

otherwise it's illegal

unborn lotus
#

20s adulthood is pretty rough, 30s is where it's at

proud jay
#

I'm looking forward to my 30s

my house will finally be built

#

30s life sounds good

unreal ether
proud jay
#

not that I'm not enjoying my 20s

#

I think I'll stop at 3

unreal ether
#

I don't think dieter is in much danger of that personally

proud jay
#

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

unreal ether

You're gonna be so grounded

Oh stahppp you're not that old

#

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

errant raven
#

They arent very smart I'll tell ya hwat

proud jay
#

at least you have something in common

But if I get disrespectful I "care too much and need therapy"

Right..

errant raven
#

Red pandas are better when they're red

errant raven

You might love Disney's movie about the red panda

It was something

Wasnt something I wanted

Toy story 5 is more like it

stop the sequels

errant raven

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?

proud jay
#

Flemish and dutch are 95% the same except for pronunciation

errant raven
#

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

proud jay
#

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

errant raven
#

They're still hardcore

#

Tulip farmers

#

And cyclist

#

Windmill engineers

proud jay
#

the people or the food?

errant raven
#

Why remember the people who invented stepping on a lego

proud jay
#

well also google maps

#

and the little mermaid

errant raven
#

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

proud jay
#

I guess stipping on multiple is actually better though

#

you know, like a bed of nails

#

one nail bad, whole bed good

errant raven
#

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

#

proud jay
#

you should know what sarcasm is

errant raven

Sarcasm, over text

#

How absurd

proud jay

# errant raven <@480984235256315904> On a old topic, since you're Dutch. How much German/Frisia...

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.

Yes, is always master of something

rancid root
#

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.

proud jay
#

technical artist is something between artist and developer

#

like an artist with more than 4 braincells

rancid root

You're often just doing tasks that fall between art and programming

You understand the wishes of programmers and artists and are able to create suitable solutions that satisfy both.

So a peace keeper

median wraith

A bridge

#

The idea is that programmers and artists speak different languages and you can be the peace bringer yeah :P

median wraith

but yeah usually the bridge as Robbie says between two worlds, usually tech artists are more in the programmer side than the artistic one

rancid root
#

They can also be more on the art side of the spectrum. It's a very fluid role :P

median wraith

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

and i have weird question

what if normal c++ code is better than blueprints in UE? is it?

unreal ether
#

What does that even mean

#

What's normal c++ code

#

What are you using it to do

#

Define better

proud jay
#

like what if normal c++ code is better than bp in UE duh

fading goblet

well I don't understand the question

#

wtf, discord nitro is 10 bucks a month

#

i mean that

who tf would pay for that

unreal ether
#

I don't know how you've managed to make this less clear

fading goblet
#

no, thats "normal code"

proud jay
fading goblet
#

and i wonder what if that is better than BP if u know c++ basics

proud jay
#

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

unreal ether
#

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?

fading goblet
#

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

unreal ether
#

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

fading goblet
#

i mean, apex legends on PS5 is much heavier than witcher3

proud jay
#

what's your point

#

Apex Legends is somehow made in Source engine btw

#

I didn't know that until recently

unreal ether
#

Like the source engine.
Not some custom engine that they confusingly named?

proud jay
#

the one and only

#

it was customized though

#

but still source

unreal ether
#

How tf did they pull that off in that fossil

unborn lotus
proud jay

they ported cs:go to source 2

unreal ether

But you can work with them

unreal ether
#

In fact it makes it easier

unborn lotus
fading goblet
unreal ether
#

Not true at all

#

You will make mistakes

Especially since you're new

fading goblet
#

and i know that yt tutorials will not teach me it

unreal ether
#

They will. If you absorb the concepts behind it rather than blindly copy pastinf

fading goblet
#

idk if theres good course focusing on theory, and things like classes/objects/structs etc

unreal ether

You won't find a "gain complete veterancy in ue5" tutorial

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 😦

pearl elk

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

fleet tangle

Probably.

pearl elk

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

fleet tangle
#

That's how I get paid.

#

Is good πŸ‘

pearl elk
#

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

fleet tangle
#

Just keep your money offshore!

pearl elk
#

10% on AUD aint so bad, its when its 10% on USD

fleet tangle
#

Surely 10% is 10%?

pearl elk
#

Yanks just forcing me to buy elsewhere

#

Nah cuz USD is stronger currency

#

10% is charge pre conversion

fleet tangle
#

But it's still 10%. Plus then a percentage to convert. Even if it was post conversion x * y *z = x * z * y

pearl elk
#

Then conversion rate is crap and foreign currency fee from the bank.

fleet tangle
#

Unless there's a flat fee.

proud jay
#

you can get pretty good exchange rate by using something like Revolut though

pearl elk
#

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%

fleet tangle
#

I mean the problem isn't the 10%, it's just the conversion charge.

pearl elk
#

Multiple conversion charges and Im not convinced they pay tax in our country if its foreign currency

#

So it shouldnt be 10%

fathom wadi
#

We should go back to trading with goats and camels. Praise be to him.

fleet tangle

I'll take 10% of that goat, thank you very much.

fathom wadi

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

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

broken sigil

tbf what they did with ray reconstruction is really smart

woven wing

Yeah, looking at some of the 2077 benchmarks and quality comparisons now and it's kinda crazy

They even have some research papers (not sure if they have a real demo) of using neural "cache" for global illumination

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)

09:15 - DLSS 3.5 & Path Tracing W...

β–Ά Play video
#

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?

broken sigil
gentle sage
#

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

broken sigil
#

So the key difference here is that it is not a real fully path traced image, but rather 100% pathtraced lighting

gentle sage
#

I am confused what you mean

broken sigil
#

nvm

gentle sage
#

how can geometry be ray traced

#

do you mean translucency ray tracing

bronze axle
#

Sometimes I hate Linux.

gentle sage
#

for specificly translucen materials

bronze axle
#

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

broken sigil
# gentle sage do you mean translucency ray tracing

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

gentle sage
#

hmm interesting

#

so what is the difference in visual quality?

#

How would that screenshot look better with 100% path tracing?

broken sigil
# gentle sage 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.

but it's trivial port

broken sigil

it's promissing

stiff crystal
#

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

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

broken sigil

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 πŸ˜„

I did watch some review of some recent AMD GPU and they still complained it wasn't stable

I've never had GPU die on me

I do wonder how common that is

because I've heard it happen to many
