hmm yes yes an empty landscape
best level ever
every zombie in the world reverts back into humans by the power of true love
it was tolerable until here
lmaoo
dw I get it
I watched a few indian movies
so I know
I need to see this
If you want a bad film watch Mother!
but that was just bad
or watch every other indian movie ever made
not even funny bad
Jennifer Lawrence acts like she can act in this hard hitting movie that goes no where because the slow burn turns to an icicle
if you've read the bible, you've basically seen the movie
you guys just read your religion's sacred books?
I have seen the convent
like a novel?
@sand oxide @proud jay for the literature connoisseurs in you, this movie was a book first. enjoy
I've read parts of it
you need to know something before you can critisize it
fair enough
can you tell me what "21:24" or "53:34" mean?
(im making the numbers up)
what do they refer to?
the new icon be looking like glados and that's uncomfortable for some reason 
thou shalt not make numbers up
Ive seen Alien Covenant, the flute scene is very religious
glad I'm not the only one that thinks it looks like portal

I think the new icon looks like a mouse
it reminds me of destiny 2 for some reason
It should be ai generated to be trendy
Really just feels like change for change's sake

The bottom left kinda looks like old logo

How does a question mark have more meaning than an exclamation mark
ur game <<<<<<< blender
A question mark implies absence, the lack of knowledge, an unwanted void that needs to be filled. An exclamation is the opposite of that, its presence is already known and clear, there is no ambiguity to it.
It is me, I am the AI
a question arises ever min while the anger?? uhm makes sense?
i miss dieter's funny jokes he used to make back in the days when no........
what
The new logo is eggscellent
Make us laugh funny man
more like lottery

idk, why would you date someone you hate
Keeps it fresh.
Meanwhile woman clicking ads to buy usless things she doesnt need
Oh ignore me Im just a stupid man
My package finally arrived after FedEx held it 9 minutes away for 24 hours ๐ฅณ
Looks vaguely Mortal Kombaty.
Liu Kangy
boy I hope it would when it's the statue from their kollector's edition 
he glows too
Last season there was a guy who reincarnated as vending machine.
This upcoming season it's "my life as a pig" or something.
Id be the vending machine character in MK
Nice. Liu Kang?
Or whatever his name is.
I swear I been cancelled
Aren't you Australian, Calamari? Surely you're more likely to be a giant spider than a man.
I thought you were gonna say more likely to be stupid
Talk about double standards
but that would probably be america
Its inherent bias in the education system
No I mean you'd be crucified if you said that about women
back in my day floats were things you used to float on water
We still use those in the troughs
I ain't ever had a float like that except for root beer float
Is that just fruity drink with a fruity ice cream?
We dont call em floats here.... theyre called spiders funnily enough
freaking love tea. ima try that one.
I used to make so many rootbeer floats
whats with the new server icon / name
Coke floats were the best.
Spiiiiders, theyre not floats ๐
Some spiders float!
sadly that's only limited to source 1. tim is convincing gabe as we speak to merge with source 2
Australians are the great truth tellers
The new Unreal logo will be gold as it merges with gold src
Everytime I see Source 2 I think it's 2010 again.
source 2 episode 1 when
Please add path tracing to all your games, kthx nvidya
play hl2 with vrmod
it kinda reminds me of gimp in a weird way for me
Blender game engine when?
Support stopped in 2019
rip to the most useless engine ever ๐๏ธ
unity aint dead yet 
I heard a rumor there were going to add something that wasn't timeline linked.
Hero Engine still going strong
Like support for Virtual Production
Oh? Do tell.
I prefer real production
were not slacking anymore?!
Simulated virtual production
Ooph, I'll ask my friend who's a Blender evangelist. We were messing around with manipulating Blender objects with an Arduino with UDP packets and I was lamenting on how I had to press play to make it listen
technically we never were. We were discording but it didn't have the same ring
Discordians
blender already has virtual production stuff but it's not great. You tend to go to external plugins for tracking
Pay-per-compile. Thank me later.
Hire me to get me to stop lol
Unreal Engine compiles so slow that wont cost me much
Ads in the compiler output, you can thank me later MS
Google is sitting there like, you guys put apps in your ads
Amazon just announced that if you have Amazon Prime, they are going to put ads in unless you pay more. It's going to get the point you are going to have paid ads that you pay to get rid of next.
Yeah I saw that, dunno if thats different to the current ads or more ady ads. Atm its just promos for other prime shows you can skip
Googles been super aggressive with YT premium ads, pain in the butts
I'm waiting for a "free" service that uses your computer for distributed computing. I mean I know they exist already but more big business and less of the snidey not telling you kind.
Basement servers are back baby
I got an .exe I can send you forthat
Time to find me some aliens
Your minions know you by no other title
Minibuuus
I shall use my trade federation ships to become controller of the spice
Now tell me what I want what I really really want...
Where would the source be without zig-a-ziggas
Slack as much as you like.
That's up to you.
Mmm free goo
you're acting like you weren't a slacker 
Impastas everywhere
I have, and I decided against doing so unless I can provide something new to the community. There are already many repositories of tutorials, blogs, etc. out there. I will be elevating projects, tips, and resources from the community on the website and via the newsletter for now.
I don't deny the slacking I have done every time I sat in lounge.
They do not. Moderating the Discord server remains a volunteer position.
admin admits to slacking GG
There are people with jobs that slack here all day at their DAY job
don't call me out like that
There are vampires with jobs that slack here all night on their night job
I slack off on here a lot, but half the time I'm learning stuff to help with my job.
I do actually do work as well though ๐
for me it varies
if I can't focus, I just get on here and it gets worse
yes, I do hate myself sometimes
I slack when I have to do very boring tasks...it's either that or a quick nap
Threadripper, go!
cause like when I'm working in c++ it takes like 2 or 3 minutes to compile some small changes depending on what I'm doing
I can't just sit there staring at the screen
we actually use distributed compilation with like almost 200 cores
we just have a very shitty custom build system for some reason
even if you don't make any changes it takes like 40 sec lol
Management thought it'd be cool.
I won't lie, sometimes I put on a VR headset and pretend I'm testing something while I'm actually closing my eyes for a couple of minutes
they're working on using CMake though
Sometimes the UHT takes that long for me tbh. Just occasionally.
but idk if that's gonna be better
well we do a lot of generating as well, but only if things change
why the 40 sec time waste that does nothing
don't even dare mention someone having to trigger a full rebuild for everyone for some reason
then you lose like 90-110 min
now imagine that x200 engineers
we do have a shitty system with caching though
but for full build it's shit
some people also have a nightly local build enabled, but that just fucks with your git 80% of the time
so there might be hope yet
It's a slippery slope though, some days it's 10 minutes other it's two hours https://tenor.com/view/bear-waking-up-from-hibernation-gif-8805057892010018928
probably easier to make animation of juggling than learn how to juggle
practice makes perfect
resident evil 4 on iphone will cost $60, and it has IAP on top of it.
yea but than u wont learn how to juggle
I'm considering getting a cheap electric guitar that I could play unamplified while waiting for something but I don't think my colleagues will appreciate it
we need to think of a good compile hobby for laura
Rubiks cube
how about tapdance?
honestly it was 60$ for copy you can user on iphone, ipad and macOs I wouldn't scuff at price. But thats not reality, I do wonder how much it'll sell
this is why mobile gaming will never be good
Ohwait turns it out is on iphone, ipad and macOs if you purchase once. fair price then
long time ago I had a few language courses on mp3, improved my german, french and even learned a lil russian during my trips to work
totally impressed my friends when we went on vacation
Isn't the iPhone version a PC version as they say?
COD used to release on steam for Mac
Speed cubing is where the fun begins
Fair. Fingers gotta go brrr
My fastest solve was 16 seconds and that was during english class 
ok, get a pet with great dexterity and teach it tricks
Did you ever play around with non-3x3 'rubiks cubes'?
pyraminx's, 4x4's, etc.
I'm certan you'd be able ot solve the pyraminx too
It's a pretty intuitive one, especially since you already have experience with 3x3
they my babies
I still haven't gotten around to restickering my megaminx tho ๐
Can I send you a few to solve for me lol
Xtreme Skewb I think is what that one's called?
Fun fact, in fresh prince of bel air, will go into college by solving a rubiks cube!
I was thinking that was on Scooby's collar for a moment.
what kind of games re you doing?
thanks for pointing that out. Those are work devices ๐
I got it as a gift from someone i think? I then used it as a gag in school/college when people would ask about wanting to try solving one of my cubes. Then I'd hand them the 1x1 
Not smooth at all tho and too easy to pop
Scrambled xtreme skewb
Oh I'm missing a cube!
Somebody needs to sneak in at night and repaint all the faces.

Please not my Gan! It was a limited edition!
I was missing two cubes. Found another 3x3 in my spare room
Mirror cube
It's a shapeshifter. Which means the scrambled shape is a different shape than the solved state.
cube
the xtreme skewb is a "simple" one to solve. It's like a 2x2 in the sense that turns divide the shape in perfect halves. 3x3 your turns divide the shape into 1/3 and 2/3 parts. 4x4 your turns divide the shape into 1/4 and 3/4, or halves (2/4 and 2/4). I hope that explains it in a sensible manner ๐
hello my fellow ue sourcers
I'm done geeking out over my cube collection, y'all can have lounge back 
I just saw that and yes 
give me all the cubes
my collection shall grow 
what kind of games are u making?
My personal project started off as me wanting to remake the old flash game Amorphous, but 3D and multiplayer. So that.
I wanted to remake the old flash game of trying to get actionscript 1.0 to work and be useful. It was pointless though.
That's Dieter type stuff. Minus the theme. Or not. Idk Dieter like that.
Did they change the name? It looks different.
I am around to answer any questions you may have.
I don't know if I can handle this much change in my life.
Unreal source. That's just weird.
Anyway, Just came to complain that I have to download another version of unreal. On rural internet.
oh i have one! why "unreal source"?
Oh my...
I like weasels. We could call it Unreal Weasels.
lol
Damm thats really cool
I have a keyboard/trackball that looks like an xbox controller. It was badly made so it doesn't work well but I always thought it deserved another chance.
Because my vision is for the website to be a source of news, insight, and inspiration, and for the Discord server to be a source of joy, encouragement, and camaraderie.
What was your inspiration behind the new logo?
The portal turrets, or glados
I thought it was a thermometer.
Downloading source code. Drilling down to reach the source/core of something. Things like that.
to non-graphic-designer-me, that seems like a tough concept/idea to convey through an icon
I'm more worried about the fact you have a skull as avatar sir
Do not be afraid.
Skeletons can be friendly.
i think it might be best to make this idea more clear ๐
cause right now it sounds like a place only for unreal's source code. slackers had a clear meaning, a place to hang around and waste spend time with other unreal devs. source...well either it's about unreal engine source code or it's about unreal and source engine ๐
I'll take that into consideration.
It's always a challenge naming and branding something. No matter how much research and design you do, you won't know how people interpret it until you actually ship it.
Yeah, when I have to dive into the source, I'm not having a good day.
Did you play around with making the center 'cutout' wider, so that the walls of the U are thinner? It feels like a box with a thermometer looking object in it. Regardless, big thanks to you for having established this community and big respect for taking all the feedback with the rebranding in stride ๐ (meant to reply to pfist, not myself. oops)
But Skeletor isn't a skeleton, right ? Isn't that like a mask ?
it's his missing face not a mask
I always appreciate feedback, both positive and negative. I would rather people be honest with me than pat me on the back and say "Great job, man!" when they are secretly cringing inside.
Skeletor has a beefy body and a skeleton head... For reasons.
tell me about it! people thought an old draft of my game's lego looked like a ๐ ฟ๏ธ ๐ต. it was meant to be a line with the "tip" being the destination lol (it's a parkour game)
Hah, I can believe it! You never know what people will see in a logo.
On the bright side, some of you have already created some amusing memes of the new logo.
iirc, zomg was the first one to post a meme of it
I will probably iterate on it in the future, but for now I will leave it so I can focus on content.
That is my understanding, too. Never forget.
I made the lisp games logo. I was proud of that one.
I mean the logo is cool, seems like what you said, a core and there comes the beam off, but I had a bad time searching the server the last day once you changed it ๐
i didnt dislike it. it was just a bit unclear for the meaning behind it
now it makes sense
and i dont mind it much
Have you considered an animation with the logo? Showing that center section "cutting away" or something to help convey the idea of Drilling down to reach the source/core of something.?
Apologies for any lack of clarity in the messaging so far. I am sure I could have done better. There were a lot of moving parts to launch this thing, so I will be improving things as time goes on.
I just realized I have Cyberpunk2077 bonus content 
It's a bunch of music tracks, wallpapers, "sourcebook", etc...
reminded me of that time cs 1.6 posted an "updated" with nothing changed and people were furious saying the game is worst now
Does that include the DLC ?
it seems like it come pre-bundled with all games in egs from what i've seen
I have indeed thought of that. Almost exactly like you described! I didn't want an animation to hold back the launch, but I have plans to do this.
It's just a bunch of music tracks and stuff, not including any dlcs
You might be right yeah
Just noticed it
I should clarify: a lot of people are saying they like "Slackers" because it describes the purpose, i.e. slacking off. I have never liked that association, which is part of the motivation behind changing the name.
Welp, maybe they sell a more complete version on EGS since their cost is less ? I don't think so but
You could install unreal for that much space. Or make your own game.
I like slacking off here in the fun channels, but I don't want that to be the primary call to action for the community. I hope that makes sense.
When I'm not working I'm slacking. That's the only purpose of this discord. Unless I want to ask questions but this is not the best place for that.
I understand, and there are others like you, but most people come here to ask questions and connect with other developers.
Although I did get some help yesterday making a C++ DataAsset.
But what are we, the community? Who are we? Why are we still here? Just to suffer?
@lofty larkYes. And to create capital for the ruling class.
What do you think this is? NOT a captialist dystopia?
unrelated but mgs5's best game ever. other games are not even close
I still have not played 5. I loved 1 and 2, though.
never owned a ps3 ๐ .
: O
My partner and I are big fans of Kojima's work.
i might emulate it tho it looks really fun
and you only played 1 and 2??? : O
I'll just restart Vampire: Bloodlines. You know, the REAL best game ever made.
oh if you are a gameplay kinda guy then prepare to spend hours on extrating things with ballons. (stealth is too cool ig)
I've looked into it recently and the story mode for MGS4 still isn't stable on emulators ๐
but honestly the game is super fun
Just the icon is a little poopy!
I will never forgive you.
Oh, Daekesh, did you see I got you a small gift?
That's why I figured something like Unreal Hub might be good.
Currently the only way I can get Google to index the website or discord, which I am very interested in, is by searching for unreal slackers.
@fleet tangle I know it's not exactly what you wanted, but...
Fixing this might help the SEO too
Are you referring to Metal Gear Solid and Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, or Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge 2: Solid Snake?
@trail oreThis works. For reals.
MGS 1 and 2. I've never played MG 1 or 2.
Haha. The feedback renames are super great ๐
How about VtM:B?
Loving the new feedback channel renames
Because I'm still obsessed.
Tbh, pfist, despite how much we all may gripe about icons and channel names, you and the mods do a fantastic job here. So thank you.
Genuinely one of the best managed communities I'm in
The thing is: there are a lot of other factors for SEO that are much more important for ranking than site name. Site age, content, canonical URLs, page speed, etc.
@fleet tangle @unreal ether Thank you so much, guys. Warms my heart.
honestly i would've never got where i am rn without this group! great community here and with them i would've been still stuck in unity ๐
I'm shocked at how fast channels become Nazi cesspools if given the chance.
I put a lot of work into making this place better than the average Discord, and my moderators do a tremendous job of helping me keep it that way. Couldn't do it without them.

That makes sense. At the very least it would be worth looking into the issue I posted in the image, just for disconnecting from the whole "slacker" thing
I sneezed so hard I hurt my back. OMG, I'm old.
Which search engine is that?
OK, thanks.
No problem :)
It's probably an indexing issue, and also may be proving my point.
Loving the new website btw too
I suspect what's happening is Google's crawler is reading the site content and misattributing it to the old name.
Oh, thank you! What do you like about it?
That does sound very feasible
Oh.. 20% of my unreal download is complete. Only 4 more hours to go.
It feels a lot nicer to use, and I'm liking the use of it as more than a landing page for the discord
Not bad considering how large 5.3 is.
Awesome. I like my websites clean, readable, and fast. No junk.
That's another reason I like the community contribution model. I would hate for it to need to be spammed with banner ads just to break even in costs
Obviously I will be focused primarily on writing about Unreal and highlighting the amazing stuff this community does, but I have plans beyond that for the site.
I would hate that, too. That is precisely why I elected to offer paid membership, despite the inevitable fear and skepticism I knew it would invite.
Is it to sell the conversation data to an AI company to create an Unreal AI that can answer all our questions and rule the earth?
I am an AI skeptic.
considering the amount of stupid answers we get here it might be best for this to not exist at all ๐
in what way? the "AI will take over" or "AI will help us"?
In fact, you just reminded me to do something.
To be fair, I get tired of newbies asking questions that take 5 seconds of googling.
Little things slip through the cracks when you launch a project.
That means there is an AI Iskander. Why else would the discussion of AI remind pfist of something with the new launch. ๐ต๏ธ
oh you're ALL doomed if there's an AI of me
you'll be drowned in shitposts and gen-Z humour
Alexander never asked the weasels permission to conquer the Earth.
well can i?
You can have Europe. Again. And parts of Africa and Asia.
oooh can i have madagascar?
No! That's where the Jewish Space Laser is hidden!
but i wanted to play with those! ๐ญ
Ugandan space laser is best
also the funny little penguins are there
Well we would be looking in Uganda for that so it's easier to find.
you should hide stuff in micronesia... that place is allready hard to find
People don't think to look in Madagascar because lemurs are not jewish.
hell ppl dont even believe micronesia exists
It's so small though. It's in the name, micro. It's like 1 million times smaller than a normal *nesia.
also they have micron farms there
If we manufactured microchips in micronesia, could they make picochips?
every time i want to go out for micronesian food i cant find the place
they are like a super secret country
It's because they are tiny.
I am conservative in regards to the current wave of AI technology. I understand why people are excited about it, but I see a lot of downsides and potentially very bad outcomes, so I am taking and wait-and-see approach.
It is very volatile right now.
I am interested to see what happens in regard to copyright and regulation.
I want an AI Butler.
Actually I just want a butler.
Mine quit. I called it The Butlerian Jihad.
it should be obvious that AI is going to sue us
For being human, I assume.
no for using their work
for voting rights
Silicon is too dark to get full rights in america.
that's super fair. though as of right now im having a great time using AI not as a source of information and knowledge but as a way to do boring tasks for me. for example the other day i told it to write a very common struct type and it did it in seconds instead of me taking like dozen seconds to write myself. also it's pretty useful for naming variables and commenting my code tho i still do re-read and correct it if needed
You jest, but I am reminded of a very frustrating incident that happened some time ago. There was an artist who was streaming on Twitch as they drew fan art of a Genshin Impact character. Someone who was watching the stream then took a screenshot of their half-finished work, prompted an LLM to finish it, posted it as their own before the stream was over, and then made a big stink about how the streamer was stealing their work.
tl;dr i think the best use case for AI is if it's treated as a tool to help with a task, not to do the task for you
I think Russia is using AI to plan their Ukranian offensive.
It's the only answer that makes sense.
lol cant really do that as he was streaming live
I think that is a reasonable use case. In my experimentation so far with ChatGPT, I have found that it is very good at being a creative brainstorming assistant. Something to bounce ideas off of when factual information doesn't matter.
WarGPT is a terrifying concept
Think about attaching shock collars to an AI.
yep. AI is cool but for it "to take over humans" is just BS imo and will never be a thing. and as far as i know AGI is just a researchers pipe dream
and fanart is allready sorta stealing ๐
you play the hype more than the art
There are people who overreact, I agree, but I would never write off that possibility as impossible BS.
Even if the thief doesn't get away with it, it wastes a lot of people's time and causes undue stress for the artist who has their reputation called into question, even if only for a moment.
The fact that someone had the audacity to do that and then ask for credit is absurd, of course.
Then you also have those that even when presented with the truth, refuse to believe it
Indeed.
its just a troll move
It is more difficult than ever to discern the truth online, and many uses of AI are making it worse.
i do agree that a sensationalized title gets a lot of hits and ppl dont really care for the conclusion... that that has nothing to do with AI
Here's the story I mentioned, just for reference.
https://kotaku.com/genshin-impact-fanart-ai-generated-stolen-twitch-1849655704
I was shocked that many people have no concept of actual truth. It's just anything they can get you to believe.
hell they will most often just read the title and draw conclusions from that
I suggested many uses of AI are making that problem worse, not that AI caused it.
It's been around far longer than any of these LLMs have.
I am just rooting for the people who want to fix the problem instead of embracing it as the only way to live.
there is no fix ๐
Yes there is. Similar to washing our hands. We know about germs so we fight them. We now know about memes and need to learn to fight them.
There is no closing Pandora's Box, but we can still fight what was released. Living with it does not have to mean embracing it.
this is search algos click generating
Also, if you are concerned about amoral, profit driven super-intelligences taking over the world, it already happened. They are called corporations.
ppl love to hate so drama gets to the top... a scammer exposed is not going to the top as much
so you get to see the accusation... but not the conclusion
"super-intelligences" is giving them too much credit, but otherwise, sure, why not
fair enough
@regal pecanThey are smarter than an individual.
the guy that made the accusation prolly had no reputation from himself ... nothing to destroy... that should tell you enough
People love junk food, too. Should you encourage them to eat as much they want, or teach them the value of moderation?
just a 3day old account to troll ppl
So some reputation based economy? Like in Eclispse Phase?
Naturally that depends on the individual, and how the intelligence is manifested. Usually a corporation outsmarts individuals through sheer quantity of resources.
@regal pecanAll true. But they exist because individuals are limited. So I'm not concerned about people using AI. I'm concerned about Corps using AI.
imo the solution here is not to fight it nor embrace it but to live with it. get educated and learn how to find the trues and lies. hopefully with AI advancement, AI detectors would be more accurate and reliable (hell, maybe OpenAI would do a photoshop and release a tool to detect chatgpt text lol)
addictions and habits cannot be kicked... just replaced... thats my theory
I doubt you'll get anywhere with AI detectors, unless you reverse the principle and use it as a whitelist for legitimate art.
What you are describing, to me, falls under "fighting it". As I said, living with it does not have to be embracing it. It can defending yourself and others from being manipulated.
Education goes a long way.
no? addiction can be fought if the person is resilient enough and the example is the many people who fought their alcoholism, drug abuse...ect
We will need to teach people new techniques for discerning and discovering the truth, which, frankly, is not unprecedented. Our understanding of the truth has always been evolving.
๐
to me fighting would be to completely disarm AI and prevent people from using it.
and they all replaced their habits and addiction with something new ๐
knew a guy that went from heroin too extreme sports
Understood. To me, defense โ or any form of resistance, really โ is fighting against something.
Some people have a void they need to fill. I don't because I have a bong.
It's good to talk over the nuance, though. I encourage more nuanced discussion, especially around these topics.
Miscommunication is the root of many, if not all, conflicts.
personally if i stop smoking i start to drink more, if i stop drinking i eat more ๐
I think it's tedious in an unstructured discussion. We require legal or philosophical structures to make it worth it. Otherwise I may as well be waiting for Unreal to download.
I could prolly dtop smoking by goin to the gym or some shit
Some will resist AI completely, while others will simply learn to work within the system. Either approach can be seen as virtuous, depending on your values.
get that running dopamine
Are we going to have to deal with 70's amish, 80's amish, 90's amish, etc?
not necessarily. addiction by definition is the body relying heavily on something. heroin would provide the body with extreme external amounts of dopamine that the body pretty expects it. extreme sport on the other hand give you internal dopamine which the body actually producing it which stops the body from relying on anything external plus it's easier to stop extreme sport if needed.
Where they say "80's tech an no more!"
There is already a new generation of Luddites blossoming.
and at that point it would be called discipline more than addiction
Luddites on facebook don't count.
Not to mention the equivocation: When two parties argue because they fundamentally agree on concepts, but disagree on terminology.
I am not sure what you mean. I was referring to groups of teenagers ditching their smartphones for old flip phones, even forming clubs and interest groups around it.
fingernail severed?
Yes, completely removed.
and a small fracture too
Once was because I reached into the trunk of a car as someone was closing it.
I got it crushed by a falling slab lol
I did that with my Chevette. I bent the Chevette.
Ugh. Probably felt just as bad.
That impact.
It was really weird having a scab instead of a nail for like a week.
could get a carpenters thumb
I don't know any carpenters.
I happen to have a child here. We can test.
I may be misremembering. I was quite young.
it took me a week too and i was 18 when it happened
its when u hit ur thumb with a hammer a few times
it was pulled out at the root kinda
remove the nail RE style
How can you remove a nail with regular expressions? s/nail//gi?
Oh god that's glorious lol
me too! dont worry it will grow up, just make sure there's no dirt or anything in your fingertip when it's growing back cause it a legit pain to get out later
yeah i had antiobiotics regular cleaning antiseptics wound dressing and stuff
and pray you dont end up like ponkkis
nooooo, please i apologize to you and your lost fingernail ๐ญ
Not the fingernail. It abandoned them. It's the real villian here.
I'm trying to make a digital joke here but it's not working.
My computer is running slow.
might need more exercise
like american fast food chicken tier list?
I dont usually eat fried chicken, but something like this is mine
that's exactly what a generic lamp would say
I don't agree with this, but this is a better source for all the available options
thanks, I can't unsee it now
burgerking is F- tier tbh
for chicken
I haven't heard of Bojangles, or bonchon or foku
I haven't had Jollibee's chicken but I've heard of it
i only recognise mc and kfc
I'm learning about farmer ants.
Zaxbys is better than chicfilet anyway
What ever happened to Sim Ant?
what is this? I created a paypal acc and was configuring two factor auth in it. For some reason there was a device called "kiev" in there. Kiev is the name of the main city in Ukraine.
It's a very nice city. Everybody wants it.
best to ignore it and not change your passwords
I thought the city was called Kyiv
I told ChatGPT to speed up the internet. So you should all be noticing that soon.
nice, my internet is getting slow
I'm convinced T2 was just a list of visual effects they wanted to make and so they wrote a movie around them.
Yes. Like the matrix. I'm so glad they never made a sequel.
Although I feel stupid for not noticing the trans allegory.
Also i think people miss the idea of StarWars. It's subtle, but it's in the name. It's a delivery vehicle for WW2 stories. The Falcon? A Catalena Flying Boat. Han is an expat. Literally, he could walk in from the 70's. Once people started caring about cannon and fake history, the power was gone.
Example: Remake Midway shot for shot, but using starwars footage.
I didn't care for any of the disney movies execpt parts of the second felt right. Again, I think they mistook certain themes as starwars but forgot the actual root. Maybe if they wanted to look at the cyclic nature of war that would work, but outside of that.
96% installed... That should be close enough to start it up.
The likelyhood of me using any of the new unreal features is very slim.
I didn't come over here on the Unity Raft, but still...
There was a youtube video: "Unity: Good enough for bad games."
I chose unreal because I hate C# and Java.
@trail oreI should absolutely do that! I'll make "Floppy Bird" and "MimeCraft"!
Floppy Fishโข (probably exists already)
Hello fellow Unreal Sourcers
It's definitely up to the developer, not the engine, to make a bad or good game.
I think people should make games they think are fun/want to make.
@upper oracleYup. That's what I want.
I think people should make games I want them to make
but if they don't that's fine.
I have five games I want to make. My dream game was too big of an idea for a solo dev so I slowly lowered my scope four times until I got to where I am now.
But all five are from my favorite genres, taking what I loved from other games in that genre, leaving out what I don't like, and adding my own spin on them.
That way, when I inevitably get a max of 10 copies sold at least I'll have fun doing it.
Hey yo my fellow, good morning you all
I wish you all a good day and get a lot of stuff done
i would get the snowball looking one
im pretty sure its cheap and sounds decent
i got the hyperx quadcast s which it sounds good just kinda pricy
yeah
i mean i would obvsiouly look into it more
just thought of it cause my friend has one and sounds clear when he talks
the issue is I dont like putting on headphone when im speaking
so idk if the speakers would cause an echo?
you could try speakers
yeah probably
there is a good bit of background noise in his
@austere stirrup look at the Rode VideoMicro
idk if its any good i just was looking around and thought it would be a good one
but do you need headphones?
because I have desktop speakers and when people speak it might echo back
ya maybe but I heard a few people complain about the quality of my mic lol maybe I should ask them if its the echo
There's pretty good noise cancelling these days and parabolic mics will probably not pick up your speakers.
It means it only picks up sound from one direction.
Ducks
If I had a duck, I'd name him Bill.
yeah i overthink that stuff and i just go for a shure
shure is safe choice but expensive
I had a blue yeti. It wasn't that great.
I had one like 15 years ago.
Maybe they got better!
Bring back Unreal Slackers
lol
There is some pure gold on their twitter https://twitter.com/operagxofficial
So I'm taking this game dev course
Was all fine and dandy
Then we got new administration
And they're SO OUT OF TOUCH
We used unreal engine the whole time so far, and we were gonna learn a bit of VR this semester
Administration changed the plans, and now we'd learn VRML and Java 3D instead, for VR development
VRML is older than out teacher
Is Starfield good yet?
I haven't played it yet. If it captures the freedom and sandbox nature of Skyrim and Fallout I'd probably like it, but if it holds your hand too much and doesn't let you just wander and find stuff then I probably wouldn't
I like to play Skyrim with the dragonborn stuff modded out, does it shove the ChOsEn OnE thing down your throat or can you make your own way?
wanna play tf2?
gotta release that stress when I woke up to verse news lol
hm hm hm considering I only played it for 8 hours today and it's 4:30am
Sure
lol
ah alright then
i'll proceed to watch degenerate anime 
you need to be registered to Epic's EULA thingy first to access UE source code
its nothing news if you are not a programmer
I said I will play 
just some updates on its internals related to my stuff
ah, you were ambigious lol
hold on booting the game then
did I find your bug 
๐
also had this nice play earlier

sec, adjusting the resolution, it always messes it up when I start it for whatever reason
oh yeah we are in #lounge lol
starfield sucks. it's a huge timesink, and I'm not in highschool anymore. where am I gonna get the time for it ๐
our avatar looked like half a laboratory flask heated in the bottom
then being pushed into a square piece of styrofoam
no way that is an U
I'm confused (and also don't read updates) is this place also for Source engine now?
Nope, still UE focused, everything is the exact same just different name (and new website)
Fancy.
pfist explained it better than I probably would so I'll just link his comments

This discord should be a source of joy
You gotta leave Lamp
lamp reminds us to stay within the light of god. she's invaluable
People who use Kanban:
When do you clear the "done" tasks? If they get to be too long, are they archived or deleted? Do you make Kanban for just sections of a project or for the entire project from documentation/ideas all the way to release?
hey lamp, ill pay you two chicken nuggies if you can make iskander's day bad ๐
It's a stark reminder for young folks to stay in school
more biscuits, yes yes
goddamnit my phone is malfunctioning again
looks like i gotta buy a new one sigh
Please bring back old logo new one feels pain to watch
i need to pet this cat now

i just want to play pokemon go for an hour instead of working on my game, is that too much to ask????? did my phone had to croak JUST now???????
pet the car
I NEED TO PET THAT CAT
PET THE CAR
CAT
CAR
funny thing is im so used to people jokingly calling cats "car", i joined a new discord server a while ago and they had a channel called car and i legit thought it was for cat pics
i was disappointed to find it was actually just a channel to show off normal cars
RAM of DaftPunk is still such a good album
I frequently listen to Da Funk since 1997. That bass line shows the elemental power of the Roland TB-303. Respect for that. In this video you can hear d16 Phoscyon VSTi, Voxengo Boogex and GlaceVerb. (All trademarks are property of their respective owners.)
yes
Epic can't give bp2cpp a grant because that would mean acknowledging that they screwed up nativisation and it is very possible to do properly :P
In all seriousness though, good luck with it
Definitely deserves one
Does anyone want to acknowledge BP?
Certainly more than they wish to acknowledge c++ :P
They're aware first attempt was a bad idea
and they like my method
I've shown them
I use Rider more than I use discord in daily basis though
I thought of that too this year
what's the plot?
and which manga tropes you're planning to add?
not sure how would you execute that but sounds like a good experiment
so basically this but in manga form?

ok, but you should make it a furry manga
you'll make bank
those people have too much money it seems
wtf is wrong with u
it is financial good advise
BP2FurryManga
if you do this for marketing its important to get attraction at first panel
it should be your most curiosity awakening, most shinign panel
I'd say that's important anyway. Hate having to read pages of anything just to have my attention grabbed
mangas are different, audience is a bit into honey traps
fairs. not really big on the manga scene
does this look like an owl with a beak to you, or like a surprised mouth
it looks like a surprised owl
dammit
i dont believe without previous promotion & marketing effort a manga will be effective either
but can be a significant boost if auidence is interested i guess
owl
i need to make it look like not a surprised mouth ๐
So your Manga is called Lamp?
Manga takes effort but nowhere difficult as a game project
You put 1000x more art effort into a scene
also how about this then: https://twitter.com/SushiBenVR
a manga game lol
i cant draw a proper 3d cube
i'll learn next year
i dont pursue any commercial benefit from learning to draw manga either too though
programmer art go brr
that's because they're different
3d as in single vanishing point or multiple?
I can draw ok things, as long as it's straight lines
the moment I need organic shapes, I'm fucked
still would be a programmer art
well, I'm not an artist
so I'm fine with not drawing
I don't enjoy it either
stay off the shrooms
programmer art vs artist code ๐ค
tri base or quad?
still called a pyramid ๐
no I'm good
I have other things to do
that's like 7 times the usual game dev salary
luckily I'm not a game dev though
what about a... Metabiaugmented hexagonal prism
should I order a 2TB samsung 990pro?
do what you want
pfft you are no fun ๐
that's poor people speak /s
You should install only CoD MW3 on there
samsung SSD are chronically problematic
get kingston or WD - but also ask someone who knows better
but totally NOT samsung
my samsung 980 pro has worked fine, it's just getting too small space wise
I made sure to put a different brand in each of my NVME slots, this way if a particular brand sucks Im atleast 2/3s safe
I got a 4TB PNY one for cheap as chips
for now ๐
hmm you're right, maybe I should quaddruple my C: drive
pretty much what I did lol
someone who doesnt clean their desk
Then why do I feel unclean looking at this
hmm the 4 TB SSDs cost over twice the amount 2 TB ones cost ๐ค
Timers should really be allowed to have payloads tbh, its not 2007 anymore Epic
its where you pay loads of money to do something
just use c++ lol
Mixing types of calls to the same objects always bothers me
I have realtime emissions
Unfortunately I chose GAS
so now I have to work out how to do it in defaults ๐
ur angelscript has no coroutines
as mentioned, pain causing volume says hi

UT3 legacy
But it does because I use Laurahub
using the scuffed legacy damage system
anything exposed to BP works in Angelscripts ๐ฎ
can it run crysis ๐ฎ
yeah well lets not talk about C++ and interfaces ๐
character controller is code
though you can constrain movement in the cmc
It definitely does but its a pain in the ass, I dunno why anyone would bother
like BP Structs
You should work for Nvidya
I need more than three brain cells for that
Thats okay just use AI to generate the rest
yes
this is what I'll tell in interview, thanks
coroutines ๐
its not like I'll lie
not the implementation from scratch, that's technical artist job but yeah its called cel shade
shader to make resolution 240p
there is also free marketplace plugin for cel shade
Eren you are worse than Putin
how dare you
Putin makes the best cel shaders
and no not anyone can make cel shade especially since UE doesnt provide the "correct" way of doing it
you create low level implemnetations to achieve what borderline is doing
Borderlines 3 is my fav
set material to unlit, apply blur to ensure that theres no texture detail and add fresnel for edge highlights?!
material graph is compiled into hlsl
i compile my shaders in notepad
wait i thought you were a dx11 fangirl
someone I know is back porting task graphs to UE4 lol
but is dx11 > dx12?
hey tell them that, they were complaining that Unreal uses doubles
I think it was only the later few versions with task graph though right like 4.26+
all good things come to an end
like my coffee 
Does Adobe even need Unity now?
I haven't a clue
I thought mobile app stores required 64bit binaries now
ponkkis did you get your cyberpunk 2 drops?
Digital Arts and Entertainment deliver some good graduates, it's rather a pity most of them immediately leave the Belgium to work in AAA studios
Yeah I only dabble, never launched on Play or Apple
this is interesting
I liked hearing ID are still working away on their tech, number 7 on the way with a new Doom apparently
just need gog account
fuck this game
i cant finish the phantom liberty quest line because my character is stuck in crouch position
yeah f that game... oh
it was pretty bug free till this point
games are always more fun before they fix the bugs ๐
aren't we a community full of beta testers? ๐
I managed to get hit with a bug in 2.0 thats been there since release
the Johnny glitch shader gets stuck on the screen on one of the missions if you skip dialog
but you install this mod which removes the shader, then remove the mod and boom fixed
Yeah I had some good ones like that in Mass Effect Andromeda, my character was layered in blood and goo for most of the cutscenes
it's all beta testers all the way down
Just wait till GTA6 is released, plenty of bugs for all
last 2 secs are too funny
dude losing himself

it was cat
it's pretty much the same, just with grumpy cat
unfortunately that cat has passed away
Cyberchonk
y'all I need some real advice.. I'm a solo dev and I feel like I can't ever finish my project, I keep getting distracted by side quests (figuratively speaking) and the challenge seems insurmountable especially as I don't have any artistic skills to really bring my vision to life
I'm in the same boat, so hopefully you get some good advice I can also read and probably ignore ๐
when I eventually wake up. cause, sleep is needed
haha hope so ๐
If one of your skills is lacking, you gotta outsource it by pumping money into it. So marry rich or try to get an inheritance?
Then you gotta play the long game, finish school, get in a good career and advance until 10 years later you'll have the time and money for it ๐ฅฒ
man, I have so much self control
my gf told me she ordered something for my birthday, of course I am the only person working from home
so I had to receive the package
looked the post man straight in the eye, took the package, turning my head away, slammed the door closed and put it against the wall
took a blanket and threw it over te package
and then put it in the laundry room so I don't have to see it lol
idk
I just know the size of the box
I have a suspicion based on strange questions she asked me recently
"Would you like an oak coffin? Or just something more modest"
a do-it-yourself coffin could fit in the box probably
Corpse not included
what a scam!
Did they say if the report button is coming back?
who
Mods
it's still there though?
Oh, maybe not on mobile
Blank on iOS
RIP dreams
all my friends think I'm crazy for trying to develop a game while I'm doing a PhD
lol, they gonna sell RE4 on iphone for 60 dollars
Idk if thatโs a joke lol
lol does it actually show up for you on iOS? Maybe the mods stripped me of my rights ๐ข
no I quickly edited in photoshop
I really do care a lot about bamboozling you
Hahaha
Oh ok
I am missing the latest iOS fix so maybe thatโll cure it
I just want to get @sand oxide banned so we can all go back to the Dark Ages of Unreal. Jk
what have you done
Nooo
plot twist, the present IS the box. dieter is a cat
Hey, I clearly said JK
I have already proven jk defense does not work
Wtf lol
This is entrapment
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
I am hereby obliged to block you
I'm gonna have to work overtime on posting red pandas because of you!
im gonna have to work overtime making mass effect jokes
neo, you ruined us all
Well, my comment was obviously meant to be a compliment to Laura and the treasure trove of knowledge she is, so if this is my reward, ๐คทโโ๏ธ
phew
people are gonna start using timers set to .016s so they can maintain 60fps now 
oh god, you have thrust us into the dark ages
(all of my messages were jokes btw, in case it wasnt obvious)
Burn those cpp books
dont worry, we have recovered from the dark ages
time to see green leaf laura for a while again ๐
But it's still so quiet! 
neo had the last laugh lmao
