it's so depressing

welp then

[errant raven]

Why tf not

[broken sigil]

I hope for either mind uploads, some new tech extending the lifespans or some extinction event ||one is not like the others lol||

[errant raven]

Sleep easy knowing that atleast 200 people are using that pillow

[empty dune]

same plan tbh

[broken sigil]

well in the last few years I spent more time talking to AI than to actual people so it doesn't sound all that bad 😂

[empty dune]

i hate the thought of never being forgotten or be able to forget. mind uploads would be the worst thing you could do to me. id rather fade

[broken sigil]

imagine mind uploads + body transfers, synthetic bodies
far science fiction but who knows lol

[errant raven]

I'd love that

Actually I'd hate that

[empty dune]

that would be pure hell, i dont think most people realise the burden of never being able to forget

[errant raven]

Why would we go to mars

Its unrealistic

[empty dune]

just play civ 6 like im doing rn

[errant raven]

Well I dont think rocket science involved terraforming planets

[empty dune]

terrible typer besties unite!

[broken sigil]

Me blacking out last year I imagine is what going bye bye feels like
I was kinda ok with it for some reason, scared the carp out of me but was kinda like "yep this is happening, I'm gonna black out, am I gonna get up again, who known but kinda ok with it"

So it kinda really messed me up mentally few days after having that experience

[empty dune]

getting there involves rocket science though

[errant raven]

We already got stuff on mars

Mars rover ring a bell

[empty dune]

i think blue, lamp and i am collectively having a stroke the way we are typing lmao

[unborn lotus]

elon is only wanting to sell you his cars

[errant raven]

His cars are shit

[broken sigil]

what they are good at is consistently being at the bottom of the realiability surveys

[unborn lotus]

[errant raven]

We just took a picture of a blackhole a year or so ago

[empty dune]

my pleasure, call me again if you need my services!

[errant raven]

Eco friendly cars but the factories that make them arent

And where do charging stations get the energy inside to charge the car?

[unborn lotus]

the solution has been there for ages, cycling/rail and building cities for people not cars

but guess what has the bigger profit margin, a cheapo bike or a luxury electric car

[errant raven]

You cant blame companies when you're sitting here using their products

[unborn lotus]

I'm not buying an electric car though. honestly thinking of an e-cargo bike

[errant raven]

So you lack accountability

[empty dune]

thats such an asinine take i dont even have the energy to explain how and why that is wrong

[errant raven]

Even your farts are apart of the problem

[errant raven]

Sure

This generation is nothing but highschool drop outs and simps

[proud jay]

I think we had established this already

[broken sigil]

Yeah
I do like EVs, not Teslas tho

Don't own one myself but if I was buying another car right now I would consider an EV

Not because they are "eco friendly" or whatever but because I actually like some

[errant raven]

Is that a new eletric car on the market

[unborn lotus]

someone might get that idea if one lives in a bubble

@rancid root can I see your art style please 👉👈

[rancid root]

What do you mean my art style? :P
A game has an art style. You can have a personal expertise, but in the end for different games you make differently styled assets.

[errant raven]

Eh well now I have to go relearn some things and find the proper question now

Art is mystifying to me now and not in the proper way it should be

[errant raven]

Ok ok what is your preference/go to/signature art style when doing personal or work related art? Is there a certain style you use more often that always finds it way into or influences your work. 😅

[rancid root]

Oof that is a tough question. Everyone has a flavour of working. For me it's a very engine technical approach with a lot of Substance Designer, making strong master materials and trying to let tech do a lot for me to make making VFX easier. I'd rather use tech tricks that hardcore manually create art.

[errant raven]

Maybe I should do the same

[rancid root]

I can't show exact processes due to NDA

[errant raven]

Math is easier to learn than training a skill

A skill with subcategories of other skills

[rancid root]

You could. There are lots of ways to make content for games. You need to figure out for yourself which methods you like doing

I am completely useless for handdrawn VFX styles or simulation work.

[errant raven]

I am completely useless at both art and making shaders

[fathom wadi]

I'm bad at art, but I don't make art. I make Blender make the art for me.

[regal pecan]

I'm sure there's a joke to be made about tools that make terrible art that looks good, but Blender is not that tool.

[fathom wadi]

https://marcrogerson.artstation.com/projects/AlaAVo I couldn't imagine making this shader in unreal but blender made it easy

[unborn lotus]

really wish blender would do more industry standard approaches in UI....it's so backwards sometimes for no reason

[fathom wadi]

Honestly never had a problem with it since 2.8.

[proud jay]

there's not even a creepy guy in the mirror smh

[fathom wadi]

I did consider putting a model in there but I don't like anything except photorealistic stuff

and I didn't have anything to hand. I only spend a day or two tops on work right now so I didn't want to extend the process

[fathom wadi]

GIMP would bre great if it had a usable interface. I find it disgusts me tho

I don't understand that really. I mean, the right menubar can be a little cramped and stacked sometimes depending on the functionality selected, but everything else feels really good to me. Especially being able to search for the function you want rather than go surfing menus

for me, it beats the crap out of Maya and is more akin to 3dsmax with less clutter

[unborn lotus]

Yeah but no toolbox to drag n drop stuff, and each version seems to break custom stuff (like pie menus)

[fathom wadi]

the hotkeys overlap in a way where its not hard to remember them though. I guess each to their own though. I know people who think Maya is a good system and I think that's crazy

nothing is hidden with the search tool though. You just need to know the keyword of what you are looking for and it's immediate

Maya on the other hand has menus in sub-menus hidden by other sub-menus

[unborn lotus]

Marking menus are a pretty good system...it's the least bad part of maya 😅

[zinc wagon]

ig this depends on how frequently you use 3d modelling softwares. if you are an artist who spends their whole day modelling then you'd appreciate having everything accessible via hotkeys instead of buttons

[pearl elk]

fresh meat for the grinder

[zinc wagon]

fair point but im not sure if maya has the same level of keyboard shortcuts as blender but if it doesnt then it is a tradeoff between the two applications and it would make sense for blender to focus on making artist lifes easier with shortcuts

[unborn lotus]

It does, and everything is accessible in menus and marking menus and you can drag and drop operations to your toolbar

Not to mention more intuitive...because it sticks to industry standard stuff

[tranquil sonnet]

I just got this weird rambling incoherent email about some new "amazing UE5 UGC interactive content platform" called HolyMolly. Probably just someone inexperienced trying to dream big, which happens, but they keep abbreviating it in quite an unfortunate way. https://i.gyazo.com/8fcadfda05c3692300ceeec02d419b11.png

[fleet tangle]

Heh

That is definitely going to cause some memes or something.

[candid ore]

I have to stop trying to be funny right after I wake up in the morning. I think I just come off as either mean or stupid.

[unborn lotus]

I mean it's a menu. If it's so convoluted people don't know how to use them it's Blender's problem

[waxen mulch]

Can someone who's familiar with this stuff explain to me why people believe a portfolio is important when hiring someone for work in the programming field. It's so incredibly easy to fake, do people hiring just not know that? So what's the appeal exactly? Meetings and calls with questioning would surely be a much better method of probing someone's skill right? I'm truly curious from a business perspective why you're not even considered if you don't have a portfolio to present. I've wondered this for very long now.

[reef pond]

Does anyone know where i can find that silly video of that guy that coded physics for the event graph lines? I am having a really hard time finding it due it it being a very ambiguous google search.

[fathom wadi]

I'm the same. Mostly I get work through word of mouth so they just insta hire me. Plus I can always pull the "well the code is still under NDA so I cant put anything up" scam if I'm desperate :p

[broken sigil]

So far my experience has been "I randomly stumbled on the thing you made, I want to hire you " 😅

[fleet tangle]

Me too

I think I've done one public thing in like 5 years, though.

[fathom wadi]

Most of the jobs I've taken have had an hour or two talking to the bosses so they know I'm not spoofing my skills. But usually they don't really see anything I've done

well when I say scam, I just mean often code is still under NDA so I feel scammed I can't put it up on my portfolio. Even though I haven't updated my portfolio in like 4 years

yeah who has time for portfolios. Got real work to do 😄

https://marcrogerson.artstation.com/ this is the only portfolio I have now

[waxen mulch]

wow maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, these jobs requiring a portfolio is doing my head in. I'm willing to take calls and answer virtually any question immediately. Nope they want to see a portfolio... 🤦

[broken sigil]

All the stuff I've done since like 2018 has been under NDAs so the only thing I have to show are plugins from ages ago and my old personal project which is somehow enough lol

I am working on some stuff now in my free time that's gonna be public, to have something to show lol

[fleet tangle]

Link them to your github.

[fathom wadi]

if you are going to do real studio work they will want it because they need to filter people out but I work freelance and basically they don't care as long as I can do what they need

I did some open source stuff on github some years back but I don't pimp it out anymore

[fleet tangle]

I got my job becuase they found my github 😛

[fathom wadi]

I got my job because they found my onlyfans

😄

[fathom wadi]

joking. I haven't taken any work in almost a year. This housing situation has stymied me completely

[broken sigil]

lol

[fleet tangle]

Lol

I really want to see an onlyfans now that just has pictures of deskfans.

[fathom wadi]

It's my "plugin" work they were interrested in. /gyrates

[fleet tangle]

I'd pay for that.

[woven wing]

Link them to someone else's github

Meanwhile... South park's Sorry episode continues

This is a true story. I once got into an IRC fight with someone over a counterstrike match. What I didn't expect was he turned up to a LAN event I went to, with a huge group of his gypsy mates. Needless to say, I shat myself

[fleet tangle]

Was his name fritzl?

[fathom wadi]

yeah 6 bros against a hoard of gypsies though is nothing. They are mental and can stab you then disappear

[fleet tangle]

You're lucky it's only food he gives you.

I'm sure there's an American equivalent? Politicians?

[fathom wadi]

yeah and Irish Gypsy types are the most insane people you will ever meet. Nice as pie until you piss one off. Then you pissed all of them off.

[fleet tangle]

Not sure I can go into that on this server!

Let's just say that mr fritzl had children with his own children that he locked in his basement for decades.

[fathom wadi]

I knew an Irish Gypsy who was an amazing guy. He used to build temporary houses down the back alleys. When people tried to move him he would bring a dozen guys down. So people left him alone.

He wasn't technically homeless. He just moved him home to wherever he wanted to be at the time 😄

[fleet tangle]

Gypsies are like locusts. They move in packs, destroy the local environment and then fuck off somewhere else.

[fathom wadi]

He would do odd jobs until he saved up £1500 then buy a round the world ticket and visit places.

[fleet tangle]

I guess it's easy to save when you steal everything.

[fathom wadi]

Some are for sure. But a lot of the time they only do stuff like that when they are harassed. If they move into a place and are left alone, they leave everyone else alone

We have packs of them in our town all the time. I'd say about 20% of the time there is trouble.

[fleet tangle]

I'm sure, individually, they are lovely people. Most people are nice if you're nice to them.

[fathom wadi]

yeah most of them are family types just getting on with it. But some of them are gangsters

[fleet tangle]

But it's the trash, vandalism and crime they bring with them that's the issue.

[unborn lotus]

I think it's refusing to integrate, and ones that integrate are outcast from their society. At least here anyway

[fleet tangle]

That probably doesn't help.

[fathom wadi]

lol the Unity admins don't like my comment about their comment.

[fleet tangle]

To pay taxes and be a benefit to the communit they live in?

It's not like they live in the middle of the forest and not bother people like some sort of 'merican prepper.

[fathom wadi]

I'm leaving that group. Can't take criticism on their own shitty policies means I'll get banned when I call them out again

[unborn lotus]

Cause you can't live in tents near the city, without IDs or jobs or anything

[fathom wadi]

then what about your fucking meme engine then you hypocrites 😄

[fleet tangle]

Europe doesn't really have that, Lamp. We don't have the room.

They could get jobs, pay taxes, be productive members of society?

[fathom wadi]

meh all that is over-rated anyway

[unborn lotus]

And if they don't do those they still need money, and then it comes to stealing, lacking education, poverty, etc

[fleet tangle]

It's all well and good if you don't want to integrate. Go live in a forest, doesn't really matter. But when you don't want to integrate and you live next to other people, it causes friction.

It's not their freedom to do that, though.

They literally squat on land.

The government?

If you don't like it, find a place with no government.

Or overthrow the government.

[fathom wadi]

We should have designated Traveller areas. Like Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, etc.

[fleet tangle]

I'm not saying if you don't like it, get out, I'm saying that if you don't like it, you at least have to live by the rules until you can get them changed.

[lofty lark]

squatters are scum

[fleet tangle]

Gypsies aren't really a race. It's a community.

A culture.

[unborn lotus]

They are sort of, because they don't marry outside and haven't for hundreds of years

[lofty lark]

I thought gypsies was like, just a term. Like hippy tbh.

[fleet tangle]

It is. It's a derogatory one these days. Travellers is the pc term?

[unborn lotus]

We have hipsters though

[fleet tangle]

When the culture is "we're here, we don't care about anyone else, we will use, destroy and take whatever we like" it creates friction, you know?

[lofty lark]

Aye, I say do what you want as long as you aint having a negative impact on others for the most part.

[fleet tangle]

Because you guys literally have the space so that if people don't want to integrate, they can build their own commune in the woods.

[lofty lark]

as long as they have a right to be there, and own whatever they are using and destroying, I don't think I could care. If they don't have a right to be there, or don't own what they are using/destroying, or taking from others, they can fuck off

[fleet tangle]

I'm sure there's still some compouds in the woods where hte righteous gather with an arsenal and brewery 😛

[lofty lark]

ofc there are. thats the dream.

[lofty lark]

live off the grid, no dependence on a city government, and a right to do whatever you want on your own land

[fleet tangle]

Aren't reservations explicitly unnatural?

Like the native American ones aren't natural at all.

Pretty sure they were. Reservations were set up to let the native Americans live with their own laws or something?

It's a bit like national parks. They didn't occur naturally, somebody said, "this is a park now."

[fathom wadi]

reservations were literally setup to keep the native americans away from the resources. That's why the battle of Little Big Horn happened.

[fleet tangle]

Indeed.

Lying to yourself often sounds better.

AITA?

Depends on the context.

Just because you're a ruthless killer, doesn't mean you commit evil acts. And just because you murdered someone's parents doesn't mean you didn't save them from a worse fate.

I will admit, the chances of you not being the arsehole is very slim.

I don't think the revamped terms will be enough to bring that many developers back to Unity.

Trust was violated in a major way.

[regal pecan]

It'll be enough to attract new developers who are making the choice for the first time.

As long as Unity holds it together that long.

[bronze axle]

That's an open question.

They aren't even profitable.

They're in a rough spot as a company.

[broken sigil]

I wouldn't be comfortable with making a project in an engine whose developer tried to scam me already

[bronze axle]

There are many who share your perspective.

[regal pecan]

There's a certain bias towards that perspective in an server.

[bronze axle]

I should clarify: there are many Unity developers who share his perspective.

For many, this latest move was the last straw, not the first sign of a serious problem.

It has been an ongoing issue.

[outer sierra]

Tim Sweeney was suspiciously quiet about Unity catastrophe..

[regal pecan]

Pretty difficult to improve on the job Unity was doing... ||at making Unreal look good||.

[outer sierra]

Just one repost regarding it

[broken sigil]

Unity basically did a large marketing campaign for other engines lol

[outer sierra]

He could've make this fire a hell fire by adding oil to it

I think he is cooking something

With it's current change with pricing Unity will go to even deeper loss for another 5 years.

[woven wing]

At least if they stayed cource, they would have made money for a bit. Now it feels like they'll make no money, ruined trust, and horrific press

[regal pecan]

Their only real concession is the 2.5% revenue cap. The extra limitations on "initial engagements" (heh) were probably going to be spelled out anyway... and they still have to write it into an EULA anyway.

[rare mauve]

getting old is a hell of a drug... our parents called us tonight, all stressed out. said they just almost did something serious.

• they clicked on a popup on their laptop that said their IP had been hacked.
• they called the phone number that came up.
• they (we think) granted them remote access to their pc (i'm still not sure if they granted remote, or if the website just did some BS to look like it was scanning their PC as they clicked through it, scammers said they needed to scan their PC, who knows).
• they allowed themselves to become convinced that they needed to store money somewhere safe, just in case the hackers already had their bank info and were about to steal everything
• they visited two banks, all while on the phone with these people, withdrawing $4000 at each bank
• they then received an account number to deposit to, and followed instructions to drive to a shady convenience store 20 minutes away from home, where they discovered a bitcoin ATM
• it was then, then, then that they said "bitcoin? we don't like bitcoin" and decided something seemed fishy and hung up and went home

take your vitamins kids

[regal pecan]

Make sure they're equally skeptical about gift cards and mortgage-backed securities.

[rare mauve]

And revenue share projects

[tulip orbit]

damn factorio. which bottleneck to work on first? siiiigh

[lofty lark]

I was waiting for the "then they decided to give me, their very computer experienced son, a call to help them."

But it wasn't in your story. Glad they realized it was fishy at some point tho.

[rare mauve]

they said they spent over 2 hours talking on the phone, driving around, and shit. it's incredibly baffling

[unborn lotus]

I wonder what scams we will fall for at that age 😅

[timber viper]

@lofty lark why Mia cant aim

though she's such a nice OC

[upper oracle]

How do you guys get feedback for your in progress games?

I can't ask my usual friends and family as they will be play testers so I don't want them to see spoilers/know too much of the mechanics before going in.

But I don't feel comfortable sharing my GDD on any public forum in case someone steals it/the ideas.

[timber viper]

also do you have any idea where to go after dried-up trenches? i beat the boss but cant find a way to go

[pearl elk]

Now all Unity need to do is start a game store with an even worse launcher

[proud jay]

what is up with these role icons on mods lol

ugly design

[unborn lotus]

no one will ever steal an idea because it's completely worthless. even if someone thinks it might have potential, if you "steal" it you gotta then invest years to bring it to fruition...who would ever do that

but anyway @upper oracle send it to this guy https://www.youtube.com/@perfecthumaninterface for a commentary playthrough, it's really useful

[pearl elk]

Yeah the way to do it is to get someone to make said idea then steal the product, saves you having to make it 😛

Just sign this please, its just a standard NDA no need to read it 😉

[zinc matrix]

i always share full of my idea, even the detail of implemetation around
it's 2023, we have internet, no one give a fuck about stealing ideas anymore
people are too lazy to actually do anything about it

only you the creator of that idea is less lazy

i mean stealing only work with stuff that is easy and fast to do, like stealing a joke for example
video game ideas? who tf would sit down and code for like 2 years just to implement someone else's idea
or pay shit load of money to do it

[pearl elk]

If you put your idea out there it just gives you an incentive to get it done before the person who is trying to steal it 😛

[zinc matrix]

no

well i have a realistic idea that can actually work too

[unborn lotus]

If it's something really fresh you still have to make prototypes and playtest and get feedback, because it might not turn out as one imagines... so a really good idea is even worse 😅

[zinc matrix]

some of you just go and copy exactly VR Chat and put into unreal engine
surely that's an obvious idea but seem like everyone too lazy to do

[pearl elk]

lol

lets ask about unity

[bronze axle]

Weird. I tested it on light and dark before exporting from Figma.

I suspect Discord shenanigans.

I think I like the solid version, too.

The outline version was a request from two of my mods. They thought the solid version was a little too bold.

So I wanted to try it.

[broken sigil]

oh wow Bing/windows copilot doesn't hold back lol

[bronze axle]

It’s not the final icon anyways. I want to come up with something a little, more unique, that is related to Unreal, or at least something that Unreal devs would recognize.

I gave admins the Unreal dragon. Always got a kick out of that icon.

[broken sigil]

this is kinda cool

it's limited to Edge but still

had a pdf open

[zinc wagon]

it's so cool right! it's been a god-sent for my uni's endless pdf pages lol

[broken sigil]

apparently the full release should be even more capable

[zinc wagon]

tbh i never really used it apart from letting it summarize a pdf or something 😅

[broken sigil]

this is still a preview

[broken sigil]

This is the windows copilot thing

[zinc wagon]

more capable? it already can read pages, pdfs, and images. what more would i ask for lmao

maybe videos ig

[broken sigil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rEZGSFgZVY

[zinc wagon]

OH yeah this one! im excited for it honestly. also mspaint now has layers wth?

are they actually finally gonna make it useable!?

[broken sigil]

you have to sell your soul to microsoft

...nvm we already did that

[zinc wagon]

well we did keep some fragments.

my google sheets and docs for example

ig they want that now

[pearl elk]

He let her, did he have her chained up or something?

[zinc wagon]

he can work on gaining one 🥳

[pearl elk]

We should let him have a redeeming quality

Sounds like he'd lose Unreal to Unity

[terse wasp]

It's not a scam. But it does have a pretty big problem with messaging. IE - overpromise, under-deliver. And it gets a lot of leeway because it is MIT.

[broken sigil]

interesting

[pearl elk]

Can it fix Epic Games Launcher for you

[broken sigil]

it's kinda cool

lol

[terse wasp]

• Mobile/web support is shoddy from what I've seen (not experienced though!)

• Console support is pretty much entirely on you. The engine is in C++, of course it can be put on consoles. So to me, this is a non-factor

• Node/Scene system is very flexible. Honestly still my favorite approach to building a game

• Every engine worth mentioning has an editor - big whoop (unless you care about Linux I guess)

• This isn't a strength imo. Multiple languages for gameplay can cause a bigger headache than it is worth. GDScript is a fun little language though.

• MIT - obviously a win

• It's always in development and testing feels like it doesn't happen. Reduz, in the past, has pushed back on having tests for the engine. And it was like 4-5 years of working on the VK renderer, it should be considered stable by now - at least in my opinion. But it's not.

• It definitely doesn't have a steep learning curve. One of the smallest actually.

• Docs are actually decent enough. Better than Unity/UE imo. Don't care about tutorials - most of those suck anyway.

• Yeah - definitely less 3rd party stuff.

[carmine frigate]

Wait, that edge bing thing can do all this? What happened to cortana lol

[broken sigil]

It's windows copilot in windows 11 which is basically embedded Bing

If you are on the insider builds pretty sure

But anyone should be able to sign up for those pretty easily

[empty dune]

So they killed off cortana. F

[broken sigil]

I think

[empty dune]

I liked cortana, now im sadge

[broken sigil]

Never used it

It's been super stable, had no issues with it and I've been on preview/beta builds since I moved to win11

[empty dune]

I have fond memories of cortana. The best one is probably my drunk friend yelling at it to go fuck itself because it couldn't recognize what she was saying lmao

[broken sigil]

Lmao

[empty dune]

She just screamed "Hey cortana, bitch, go fuck yourself" and like three different computers picked it up lmao

You know what i really want epic to do? Make it possible to access ue editor from the phone

Like it would work the same way as steam link

So basically a glorified remote desktop app designed specifically for unreal

Then i can code spaghetti while trying to fall asleep

[zinc wagon]

i think there's some 3th party apps that do that already

[empty dune]

Yeah but those don't work well with lots of small buttons

Ue has lots of small buttons

And drag never quite works well in remote desktop apps, ue (atleast bp) requires a lot of dragging

[zinc wagon]

you can increase the dpi

[stiff crystal]

I don't think they are using nanite with this new codemasters WRC game

it's using unreal but probably ue4

[zinc wagon]

you could use a bluetooth mouse with your phone

[empty dune]

Which app? I know of no remote desktop app that allows me to use that

[empty dune]

Huh, i primarily use bt mice, don't know why i never thought of that

[zinc wagon]

natively in unreal 😄

somewhere in editor settings

or no in that little widget debugger

[empty dune]

Now i gotta try this

(if you couldn't already tell, im a lazy little shit)

I hate falling asleep on my desk even more though

I've been playing around with it some after seeing how well it works

[broken sigil]

Nvidia even has a repo that has it integrated with UE 5.2.1, and it works with Lumen

[broken sigil]

it's so good now

[woven wing]

[broken sigil]

their caustics branch looks interesting

wanna play around with that

This is so damn cool looking lol

[woven wing]

Excuse me wtf

[timber viper]

finally they fixed denoiser

[broken sigil]

it's not using one at all now, it's basically using AI to kinda "reconstruct" the pathtraced image

Also this is the coolest 5 star event in any game I have played
https://youtu.be/kltMCHIgweQ

[timber viper]

whats the difference with denoiser?

[timber viper]

they one shot you lol

[bronze axle]

Oh no. I see what Laura is talking about now. On the light theme, the icons look like they have a faint gray border around them.

[timber viper]

light theme issue

not our problem 😎

[bronze axle]

lol

I wonder if Figma did something to it on export.

[broken sigil]

Denoiser is trying to fill in the missing information between samples, with ray reconstruction the final image is basically "hallucinated" by AI
The major difference being that AI can do smarter choices when reconstructing the image/filling in the details, it can "hallucinate" detail, it's trained to do that basically

And you end up with a better image possibly even than native

[woven wing]

Oh god, I just tried light theme. What horror

[timber viper]

[broken sigil]

yeah but the whole sequence before it is pretty epic when you are playing it
They end up basically hacking your car and it shuts down somewhere where they can land

[sweet rose]

same thing

[fleet tangle]

Idk. Seemed like you were just driving around with a warning flashing.

AAA+ gameplay.

[broken sigil]

That's after the car has already been hacked
You have a percentage going of the breach that's in progress before that

I started the video after it's been "hacked" already so it was basically waiting for me to get in the open to be able to spawn that ship in
So if you hide in tunnels they can't really get to you

You have to deal with standard police then

[timber viper]

yeah improvements on AI catched my interest too

I'll be studying it in depth next week

though rt looks so good you made me wanna buy a rtx 4090

[broken sigil]

yeah it's hard to explain but when you are playing it feels quite "epic" lol

[broken sigil]

It is easily one of the best looking games ever

with everything cranked to max

[timber viper]

also it works unlike lumen

[chrome gull]

I think I have a strike too, I just got it out of the blue, still not sure why

[timber viper]

and yeah both from devilsd

[broken sigil]

Salaries here obsoletely suck, if I wasn't working remotely and actually worked some job here I don't know how it would even be possible to even pay for the costs of living
Average salary here is 900$

[timber viper]

you might be slightly decayed from topic at cpp

[timber viper]

900 is awesome

[chrome gull]

I don't even go on cpp, I don't understand the language they're talking in

[timber viper]

average salary here is 220

[chrome gull]

salary here is wild

[broken sigil]

oh lord... how does one survive with that

[chrome gull]

ranges from literally $5 to $10000

or more/less

[timber viper]

i just read a news about one family started to live on a building construction site because rent was too much

[chrome gull]

insane stuff

[timber viper]

even less

[timber viper]

which country?

languages like f# or languages like chinese

you know 5-6 languages?

[chrome gull]

India

[timber viper]

thats cool tbh

[broken sigil]

@sand oxide to add to your message that went poof 😅

All my childhood we were pretty broke, like not broke broke but enough that you can't save up for absolutely anything
We only really started living normally like 5-6 years ago when I started working remotely (I'm giving a bit to my parents every month as well)

[stiff crystal]

Finnish is easy

[chrome gull]

happens, I tried learning Russian and German but failed to do it

I can speak 4-5 languages

[timber viper]

i dont think anything else would motivate me either

except i passively learn japanese with animes

with a little push from duolingo

[chrome gull]

I want to leave this country so bad

but apparently I just cannot

[timber viper]

Japanese is almost 1:1 compatible with how Turkish is spoken

[chrome gull]

I need to start learning a language that isn't local and uses a non-latin script

[timber viper]

2nd easiest language to learn for Turkish speakers

first one is Korean

[chrome gull]

yeah I'm just waiting for the next chance to open up

siiigh

[timber viper]

easiest one is getting hired i guess

[chrome gull]

I want to start my own business but looks like I need to do that first, yeah

[broken sigil]

[timber viper]

since erdogan won again NA and EU countries auto reject your visa request from Turkey

for me it'll be 2x challenge

but honestly I'm determined to leave the country next year

[chrome gull]

bruhhh 😭

[chrome gull]

I'm assuming erdogan is your country's prime minister? and other countries don't like him?

checks out

[timber viper]

Erdogan let 10+ million immigrants get in to Turkey and gave them citizenship so they voted him

now they're armed and dangerous

and wanting to move to EU

[chrome gull]

damnnn

[chrome gull]

ohhh that is not very damnnn

[stiff crystal]

we don't even have that many people in my country 😶

[chrome gull]

Turkey is in the EU, right? it isn't?

[timber viper]

no

and never will be

[chrome gull]

ahhh okay

[timber viper]

imagine giving 10 million random people escaped from Taliban or from Taliban giving EU access

[chrome gull]

my country has more people can all of your countries' people combined

[stiff crystal]

Turkey wants to be in EU it's never getting voted in

[timber viper]

how populated streets are?

[chrome gull]

depends but most are usually empty

depends street-wise ofc

but if they're full, they're full and it's a nightmare to deal with them

[timber viper]

I was staying on Turkey because I was hesitant to leave my family behind but turns out they prefer "send money back home" method instead

[chrome gull]

did he not know? was he paid?

[timber viper]

seriously talking about these topics are dangerous for me

you can get jailed for anything

[broken sigil]

Sounds like another country I won't name

[chrome gull]

my parents want me to stay because they think I might get sick again but I'm leaving the moment I can

[chrome gull]

oh damn alright

no worries

[timber viper]

yesterday one of the persons I know got arrested for mentioning immigrant issue lol

its getting scarier each day xD

[chrome gull]

shit man, good luck with that

I don't talk politics because I don't understand politics

that's why I'm safe 😎

[timber viper]

they better wait until I release bp2cpp if they will arrest me

[chrome gull]

I'm so unaware about the political status here

[broken sigil]

ask if you can have a laptop in jail

[timber viper]

I have almost zero interest towards politics

i hate it

but I am exposed to it

[chrome gull]

you are working on a BP to cpp converter??

[timber viper]

yes

[chrome gull]

damnn

[timber viper]

i did

[chrome gull]

that's insane

[timber viper]

answer is no

[chrome gull]

I'm not loll

I don't even have a voter ID

[timber viper]

you need one?

[chrome gull]

there's no point because I don't want to vote anyway

[timber viper]

citizenship card is enough here to vote

[broken sigil]

[chrome gull]

I know nothing about it

[broken sigil]

^ me with politics

[chrome gull]

me too

[timber viper]

deciding your ruler is a good thing though

that amount of awarness is not bad

[chrome gull]

that's cool

[timber viper]

laura just left like this a while ago

when politics on topic

[chrome gull]

how do I know who's the better one? I don't know who they are, what do they do, what do they want to do? all that stuff

[timber viper]

dumbfuckistan go brrr

[chrome gull]

fuck it's 4 20 AM right now

[timber viper]

[chrome gull]

they should learn C++

[chrome gull]

if I ever become prime minister, the first thing I'd do is ban raisins

they're disgusting

[timber viper]

US politics are more entertaining

its like a child play compared to what world is suffering

[chrome gull]

you... like raisins?

dude I just want to ban raisins, I'll do good for the country, I promise!

[tulip orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/cool-lol-lmao-funny-emotion-gif-7650283

[timber viper]

ban persimmon and I'll vote

[chrome gull]

idk what that is

ohhh

[timber viper]

its not a fruit

its something awful

back at the day when I was child my family sent me to mosque to discover wtf a religion is and one old man forced me to eat it

[chrome gull]

I hate raisins, 100%

[timber viper]

it was one of the traumatic experiences I had

because it tasted terrible

[tulip orbit]

how can you dislike celery? its just water and tooth floss! Also a great delivery system for peanut butter and raisins

[chrome gull]

most fruit are... not good, I only like mangoes, obviously, apples, muskmelon, prolly something else too

[timber viper]

ugh celery

[chrome gull]

how common is celery out there? never encountered it I think

[timber viper]

its not a part of Turkish food culture ig

unless you want it you dont find it

[chrome gull]

not a part of India's either then

[tulip orbit]

celery > broccoli

[timber viper]

both can go to hell

[chrome gull]

you should get one in your mouth if you ever get hands on an Indian sweet

you'll see what I mean

they're awesome but if you get a raisin, your stomach will kill itself

[timber viper]

there is a Turkish dessert called kemalpasha

its amazing

and now I want it because of you

[chrome gull]

I only know baklava lmao, they're very, very expensive tho

lmao

[timber viper]

depends on flavor its expensive here too

[chrome gull]

what? im talking about raisins

[timber viper]

but normal ones are cheap enough to eat for a regular

[chrome gull]

what'd you think

[chrome gull]

ahhh

to feel gay?

or something I'm failing to understand?

lmaoooo very well then 😭

[broken sigil]

@timber viperI can't tell if this is Turkey (when those earthquakes hit) in some of those clips in the video (not all, a bunch of stuff is mixed together)
https://youtu.be/a0X8gKAxL9k?t=90

also a pretty good song on the topic of politics tbh

[timber viper]

hard to tell

[tulip orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/big-neck-dancing-turkey-turkey-run-running-turkey-funny-gif-12916919

[timber viper]

but doesnt look like it

the word gay actually had a meaning?

cp77 download is finished

time to commit crimes against NC citizens

still wondering though

if they already fixed issues

why migrating to UE at all

redengine looks solid

their tools > any UE tool

their RT > lumen

their crowd is equal to mass i guess

[broken sigil]

@sand oxide
Oh yeah while you are here, been meaning to ask you for a while

Which variable declaration/definition syntax would you prefer out of these
(const on the left, mutable on the right)
1️⃣ var int : MyInt; -> var mut int : MyInt;
2️⃣ var MyInt : int; -> var mut MyInt : int;
3️⃣ var int : MyInt; -> mut int : MyInt;
4️⃣ var MyInt : int; -> mut MyInt : int;
5️⃣ var int MyInt; -> mut int MyInt;
6️⃣ var MyInt int; -> mut MyInt int;
7️⃣ int: MyInt; -> mut int: MyInt;

[timber viper]

with 2.0 it really looks solid though

[broken sigil]

port CP2077 to UE

[timber viper]

ok cp77 ai is not advanced

they put perception to head on mechas

not to turrets

doom eternal was nailed it
