I can't install software on the VDI lol

dusky bobcat
Yeah, you can't. Jetbrains said that in TOS? if it is a company, it is not allowed for the personal license.
I remember this! But they didn't say you can bring your own to the company?
It is kinda subtle.
Really? So I wonder why Dieter's company doesn't want that happen.

is there a way to install git and some gui client without admin rights?
chrome gull
why don't you have admin rights
college sucks and I have nothing to do
proud jay
is this a shared pc not aimed at development?
dusky bobcat
why don't you have admin rights
It is pretty common. Like the artists in my team don't have the admin rights.
proud jay
why does it not have git then lol
dusky bobcat
You still need to install git bash to use Git IIRC? You can't use Git without install anything.
deep glen
I cant blame IT crowds not installing Git XD
the amount of additional support you'd need to offer would be bonkers XD
proud jay
installing and support is different though
chrome gull
I'm questioning if it's worth it to dev here
in college
shitty specs and all that
it has an HDD π€’
and an RX 550
proud jay
depends what you're developing lol
dusky bobcat
I'm questioning if it's worth it to dev here
It depends what you are asked to do
proud jay
you don't need much pc to make a calculator app
chrome gull
yes, I know, but I have SSDs at home
chrome gull
It depends what you are asked to do
not asked to do anything, I'll work on my personal project
because nothing is going on here
honestly a waste of time and money
dusky bobcat
not asked to do anything, I'll work on my personal project
Can't you do it with your own PC?
chrome gull
Can't you do it with your own PC?
my PC is at my home
proud jay
honestly a waste of time and money
you are in class?
chrome gull
wake up at 6 30 am and come here to do absolutely nothing until 6 30 pm
chrome gull
you are in class?
I guess so? everyone's doing something
not study stuff
gaming and all
chrome gull
hell even I managed to finish a game
chrome gull
why are you there then
I ask myself that every day
proud jay
well it depends a lot on institution and curriculum
chrome gull
but like no teacher?
he's also doing his own work π
proud jay
he's also doing his own work π
is it mandatory to be there?
cause that seems like a waste of time
chrome gull
there's a 75% attendance rule (I'm at 60% already)
proud jay
I only went to school for actual lessons lol, why would you just sit there
chrome gull
other than that, nothing
proud jay
that's a strange rule
chrome gull
what am I doing with my life
proud jay
here you don't even have to go to most lessons if you don't want to
there's a few mandatory ones sometimes, like 3-4 depending on what you study, but other than that, just pass the exam
chrome gull
here you don't even have to go to most lessons if you don't want to
I technically don't even need to attend, it's not even like an actual college
chrome gull
i hate it here
proud jay
I technically don't even need to attend, it's not even like an actual college
so what is it then?
chrome gull
I'm in such a strange situation
chrome gull
my psychiatrist told me that I shouldn't isolate myself, so my parents' decided to put me in some random institute
I met the institute guy and told him what I did so far
and he gave me a shortcut
so here I am
proud jay
what
chrome gull
"socialising"
proud jay
so what were you doing with your life before this?
chrome gull
that's what I'm trying to do lmao, they already have EGL installed
I can download UE and games
proud jay
and if you wanna learn something why not go to actual college then
instead of whatever this is
chrome gull
so what were you doing with your life before this?
I was sick so I had to take a gap year
chrome gull
and if you wanna learn something why not go to actual college then
where do I go?
there's barely anything in the country
oh, and this institute is "Unreal Certified" BUT THEY DON'T EVEN TEACH UNREAL ENGINE
proud jay
in the last year we just had 2 courses, one was a group game and the other was like a thesis kinda thing, but more research, less paper, we fucked around doing random things so much. Good times
and our game wasn't even bad either
some investors even wanted us to continue it, but we were like fuck no lol
proud jay
there's barely anything in the country
you could move country I guess
chrome gull
you could move country I guess
I am poor
proud jay
I don't know Indian (I think) education very well
chrome gull
yeah dw I don't either π
it does?
damn
well I am working on a demo to pitch
AGAIN
if it goes well, bye bye useless college
I already got pretty far with my last attempt and this demo is already MUCH better
I'm weirdly confident
proud jay
college was nice, I think I'd be bored to death in university though
chrome gull
it is actual college but I won't get a degree anyway
chrome gull
I just explained lmao
proud jay
you don't learn anything, you're bore out of your mind and you don't get anything out of it
chrome gull
correct
proud jay
idk if the socialization you get weighs up to the cons lol
chrome gull
I do, I just chose to listen to my doc and parents
proud jay
but there's ways to socialize outside of this useless shit
chrome gull
if I stay idle and isolated for more time, my mental illness will become worse
I don't want to go back to the state I was in
proud jay
join some clubs or something?
find a hobby?
why is useless "college" the only option
dusky bobcat
Some moms do really want to control kids life even kids are adults.
chrome gull
Some moms do really want to control kids life even kids are adults.
I'm 20 ffs

the whole COVID shenanigan and my sickness fucked everything up
proud jay
play football? ultimate frisbee? join a board game club? lan parties? game jams? golf? Biking with people?
idk
seems strange to force yourself in this dumb shit
fleet tangle
Board games are great!
dusky bobcat
Try some martial arts and it will calm you down
chrome gull
play football? ultimate frisbee? join a board game club? lan parties? game jams?...
the concept of clubs are almost non-existent here
I tried to find them
chrome gull
at least I have holidays starting from tomorrow till Saturday
so that's some time saved
proud jay
bruh
chrome gull
all it did was be an obstacle

are you sure you didn't go to hell instead of college?
chrome gull
i just might be in hell
proud jay
taken a wrong turn?
chrome gull
yes
fleet tangle
I've only been here for a month
"here"?
proud jay

proud jay
I was like is that an indian version of C lol
chrome gull
I'm a terrible programmer but I still can finish them before time
proud jay
they're teaching C#
at least one positive
chrome gull
I was like is that an indian version of C lol
knew this would happen
that's why the edit was done ASAP
chrome gull
at least one positive
I only have 2 classes, Character Modelling and Gameplay Programming
I don't care about either
but ig telling people that ik how to use Maya will be cool
proud jay
the real magic happens outside of the classroom
(if you enjoy it)
take what you learned and do something fun with it
chrome gull
I pack up and go home immediately after it's done

we just learned to draw some sprites and move them. I went home and made flappy bird and like 10 other shitty game knock offs

I go home and work on my demo lol

do you have a plan for if your demo fails though
cause let's be honest, chances of succeeding are slim
chrome gull
but ig I can do that here too now, at least until I hit the hardware limit here
proud jay
and this was just a few lessons in!
chrome gull
do you have a plan for if your demo fails though
I'll be stuck here in this hellhole, I'll attempt to move somewhere else, idk

I'm not sure what to do tho, no one will give me a job without paper and I won't get a paper unless I spend a couple more years
proud jay
well paper will be very useful if you ever do want to move
chrome gull
yeah, it would be
that'd be a decision for future me tho
present me is stuck in a ridiculous situation
proud jay
well what you're doing now is useless though
least you could do is go to an actual college where you could get a degree
instead of whatever the fuck this is

the zombie dude finds a girl while trying to eat a bunch of survivors (the girl is a survivor) and falls in love with her instantly. So he kills her boyfriend, steals his brain and keeps it in his pocket. Then he abducts her, woos her by playing frank sinatra, and slowly gaslights her into loving him. also he finds out stuff about her by eating her bf's brain, which gives the bf's memories to him. then the couple runs from other zombies, has a literal romeo and juliet scene, and tries to convince the dad of the girl, who is the leader of the survivor camp into letting them marry. then zombies attack the camp, the two kiss and every zombie in the world reverts back into humans by the power of true love. i didnt bother spoilering this because no human should have to endure watching this
