The milk tea that is the subject of this conversation is bubble tea.

lofty lark
#

Oh, well bubble tea =/= milk tea. Completely seperate things.

bronze axle
#

It's a drink from Taiwan. Much, much sweeter and more like a treat.

lofty lark
#

And whoever titled this is a fool then if they are talking about bubble tea, not milk tea.

Indian chai: This is a spiced milk tea that is very popular in India and other parts of South Asia. You will need black tea (such as Darjeeling or Assam), water, milk (preferably whole or 2%), sugar or honey, and spices (such as cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper). To make Indian chai, first crush the spices lightly with a mortar and pestle or a rolling pin. Then bring the water to a boil in a saucepan and add the tea and spices. Simmer for about 10 minutes, then add the milk and sugar and bring to a boil again. Strain the chai into cups and enjoy3
Taiwanese bubble tea: This is a popular iced milk tea drink that originated in Taiwan. You will need black tea (such as Assam or Ceylon), boiling water, tapioca pearls (also known as boba), sweetened condensed milk, and ice. To make Taiwanese bubble tea, first cook the tapioca pearls according to the package instructions. Then brew the tea in boiling water for about 5 minutes, and let it cool slightly. Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir well. Fill a glass with ice and pour the tea over it. Add the cooked tapioca pearls and enjoy with a wide straw2
British milk tea: This is the classic way of making tea with milk in the UK. You will need black tea (such as English breakfast or Earl Grey), boiling water, milk (preferably whole or 2%), and sugar or honey to taste. To make British milk tea, simply steep the tea in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you like it. Then add milk and sweetener to your liking. You can also use a teapot and a strainer for a more traditional experience1

A good chai latte is my favorite hot beverage for cold weather.

bubble tea looks really good but never tried it

bronze axle
#

I enjoy bubble tea, but it's not something to have often.

#

Think of it as a dessert.

#

Thai tea is amazing, too.

#

A few years ago I got some tea from Turkey, it had some weird chocolate flakes in it
It was quite good but when it hit me lol

I fell asleep on my pc ๐Ÿ˜…

lofty lark
#

I think we're on the same page now, I'm just saying they should have called it bubble tea if they are talking specifically about bubble tea ๐Ÿ˜›

bronze axle
fleet tangle
#

That's what titles are for. To grab attention.

lofty lark
#

I think you're onto something

fleet tangle
#

It's like that study they did that found any title that asks a possibility outrageous question, the answer is invariably no.

lofty lark
#

What would you consider the difference tho pfist? Or does milk tea in this context refer to the same milk tea in the article (bubble tea)?

bronze axle
#

Saying "bubble tea" wouldn't have grabbed any less attention. I think they can get away with the headline because most young people hear "milk tea" and think of bubble tea.

fleet tangle
#

Milk tea is surely tea made with milk and not water?

lofty lark
#

But afaik, it's just milk added to tea.

fleet tangle
#

Bubble tea has the bubble stuff I it. Whatever they are.

bronze axle
#

Nope. Milk tea is tea with milk added after the fact, although you certainly could make it with milk only.

fleet tangle
#

That's the one.

bronze axle
#

Surprisingly delicious tapioca pearls.

#

When made well.

#

I've had some bad bubble tea.

proud jay
#

I have never seen nor drank boba tea

#

on the topic of tea, just out of curiousity, does manny have the power to ping everyone?

lofty lark
bronze axle
#

I like red bean paste, but in bubble tea? Surely an acquired taste.

lofty lark
#

The texture was the most off putting.

#

Smooth liquid, smooth boba, then rough pasty bean ๐Ÿคข

bronze axle
#

Of course, it would still be oolong milk tea without the boba, if you ask me. So it is just a matter of context.

lofty lark
bronze axle
#

Well, good luck telling people it's incorrect.

#

Especially when every recipe says "oolong milk tea".

#

Oolong tastes so unique with milk. It is really something special if you're a tea lover like me.

lofty lark
bronze axle
#

Bubble tea happens to be very popular right now. I think that's what is responsible for the conflation.

bronze axle
lofty lark
#

Have you ever had matte tea? Pretty famous in Brazil.

bronze axle
#

I think I tried that famous brand once, Yerba Matte.

lofty lark
#

The canned stuff? I am not a fan of that at all lol

bronze axle
#

I don't remember what it was like.

#

Yeah. That is the extent of my exposure to matte.

lofty lark
#

It tastes so different from regular matte imo

#

If you like that roasted/toasty flavor, I highly recommend trying actual matte

#

^That's the brand I get. Recommended to me by a friend in Brazil.

bronze axle
#

Thanks for the recommendation. I will be sure to try it someday.

#

I drink a lot of tea.

i jave a proper japanese tea kettle set and have used it a few times, mostly because its perfectly made for use on a wood stove

bronze axle
#

Very nice.

#

I don't have a nice kettle, but I have a matcha set โ€” a chasen (whisk), chashaku (scoop), and chawan (ceramic bowl).

I use an electric kettle for my tea water.

I'd love to get one of those heavy iron kettles.

For a game with dozens of hours of story, probably bad lol

im still looking for something to murder hobo in with minimal story

#

i enjoy GTAV, but it does get a little boring after 870 hours especially when online is so grindy and hides the good cars and guns

unreal ether
#

gtav got boring after 20 hours ๐Ÿ‘€

fleet tangle
#

We do love a bit of automated murder.

#

A 4core 2ghz cpu isn't meh 2019 tech. That's meh 2010 tech.

white oxide
#

not really into the production line games, i like holding a gun and going on rampage to kill people in a game as a safe anger outlet

#

its a laptop ryzen 2500U

fleet tangle
#

Release in 2017!

#

4Ghz/4 core was good back then, I guess.

white oxide
#

it is a laptop and wasnt built with gaming in mind, it was built to be a good solid white collar job laptop

fleet tangle
#

If you like auto-attackers, God of Weapons is pretty fun. Or Soulstone Survivors.

#

Backpack Hero is a weird game, but enjoyable.

white oxide
#

fan of GTAV and fallout 4

#

i enjoy fallout 4 but the company required monitoring programs (long story dont ask) make the key inputs "sticky" so i run off buildings and cant react as fast

#

no, my company has federal contracts and because of the nature of them were required to have watchdog programs on even our personal stuff

when you do stuff that relates to national security you have only 2 real options, keep the job and do it their way, or leave the job and get branded as unwilling to follow security requirements and never get another secure job like it again

i was on disability, ands still am on it, (work from home) but finally got a job that works with it

lost the monthly cash, kept the medical benefits

I put my portfolio once before, like maybe a bit more than a year ago. I must have forgotten to remove it, and now I can't seem to find my year old message on the board to do so

proud jay

you can do ctrl f and search from:@Liam Viladiu Leech

idk if removing it will help though

yeah, cause it looks like you can't have your portfolio on there twice

At this point I just go through life believing everything wants my money and/or information so it doesn't surprise me. wat

unreal ether
#

I didn't know this was news. I thought everyone was aware, given the whole "use a VPN or block trackers and you get different results"

regal pecan
#

this isn't tailoring results to fit a searcher's history, this is tailoring results to advertised products without specifying that they're "sponsored", to either the searcher or the advertiser

unreal ether
#

Oh so this is companies paying money to shadow advertise? Yeah that's a bit naughty

regal pecan
#

Bigger, smarter advertisers may be exploiting it (they may have even asked for it), but small businesses wouldn't know, and it would end with them paying more to google.

graceful sequoia
timber viper
#

i wonder how much sleep debt i had

timber viper
#

whether psychological or body function

broken sigil
#

I've always had super vivid dreams even when I don't sleep enough
And now when I got a watch that tracks all of that I see that my REM stage is quite a bit longer than what is average for people

graceful sequoia
#

eventually ill die

graceful sequoia
#

(per cycle)

graceful sequoia
#

whats the 1hr 23m indicating

broken sigil
#

REM duration, total

graceful sequoia
#

oh total

#

that would typically be less than one average REM period though

dusky bobcat
#

Is REM mostly the dreaming time?

broken sigil
graceful sequoia
#

erm

#

ill include this first sentence because i think this is "dreams" but i love calling it hallucinations:

The absence of visual and auditory stimulation (sensory deprivation) during REM sleep can cause hallucinations.[4][failed verification] REM and non-REM sleep alternate within one sleep cycle, which lasts about 90 minutes in adult humans.

broken sigil
graceful sequoia
#

oh the whole cycle is 90m

#

ahhh

#

As sleep cycles continue, they shift towards a higher proportion of REM sleep. The transition to REM sleep brings marked physical changes, beginning with electrical bursts called "ponto-geniculo-occipital waves" (PGO waves) originating in the brain stem. REM sleep occurs 4 times in a 7 hour sleep.

broken sigil
#

it's quite interesting to see that data of your sleep displayed

#

it feels pretty accurate, if I wake up during the night it captures that perfectly as well

graceful sequoia
broken sigil
#

yeah

graceful sequoia
#

so maybe it takes awhile before a rem cycle is long enough for me to make memories for it

dusky bobcat
#

Does more REM time mean you were likely getting tired?

graceful sequoia
#

as only in long sleep do I notice dreaming at all

dusky bobcat
#

I just know more deep sleep time means better.

dusky bobcat
graceful sequoia
#

yeah sure maybe

#

but a lot of people do a normal 7-8 hours and perceive dreaming

#

I dont

timber viper
#

waking up during REM is unhealthy

#

you also will feel unrested

#

even if you sleep 15 hours

dusky bobcat
timber viper
#

your body should adapt

#

if you keep sleeping at same hour

#

it will even start waking you up casually without clock

dusky bobcat
#

That's true. Unless I was extrememly tired or sick

# timber viper Literally nothing

There are big enemies, there are big mechs, the mechs need two pilots and the better the pilots are in butt ||sex||, the better the mech fights

timber viper
#

So its not a plot about mc and Franxx love each other?

empty dune
#

The robots are called darlings iirc, there is a male "main" pilot and a female secondary pilot. The anime is about the mc(main pilot) and his secondary pilot

how is it leaking?

they just release some gameplay

zinc matrix

yeah same thing the point is they only did a video

with some fresh graphics...you don't have to do anything for it to go viral

zinc matrix

i mean it is about the quality of the product, but if you are solo dev who make both the product and know the market well, you can tweak your product so that it would appear very good on a a trailer

The whole replika saga is a masterclass on how to be a shit bag corporation

Its like a step by step manual

zinc matrix

zinc matrix

why you sound so personal

proud jay

I have never heard of replika

empty dune

I don't have to suffer first hand to have empathy for others who were in the end manipulated to finance a corporation. I know it's an alien concept for those with elongated muskrat syndrome, maybe you can understand it when you reach mars

I wish there were some good star trek games to play. Resurgence was good but it wasn't really the kind of game id play

proud jay

just play even online

proud jay

but all their ideas were really shit tbh

they wanted some shitty mobile game

Man there was this shitty star trek mobile game that was being hyped up a lot, about 7-8 years ago. I downloaded it but everything written in that game was complete gibberish

empty dune

But yeah eve online is very boring to actually play. Its fun to read about but miserable to actually play

proud jay
proud jay
#

just knew a professor of economics that used it for economic simulations

empty dune

Oh yeah our undergrad econ professor used it as a case study too

#

It was fun

queen isle
#

are mmorpgs economies the best usage for econimcs degree?

empty dune
#

Eve online is completely player driven

#

So it is infact one of the best and most comprehensive datasets of an emerging economy that we have

unreal ether
#

Eve online is completely awful

empty dune
#

There have been actual peer reviewed papers published that used data sets from eve online

And the fact that there's 25+ years of consistent data is just icing on the cake

fluid bloom

I wonder if that works ๐Ÿ˜„

timber viper
#

nice

#

this was something i was wanting to achieve

#

though I wonder if it cause a load of all materials

#

would be better to selectively compile before map loading

#

or able to unload if its unused

#

otherwise would break your game

#

DF would mock you for using 64gb ram on loading screen

queen isle
#

I thought the reason for shader shutter is because you'd have to wait like 20 minutes to play game the first time you boot it

unreal ether
#

I hate the whole shader compilation thing. I bought call of duty cold war and couldnt play it for like 45 minutes while they compiled

#

Then it hung and I had to restart ๐Ÿ˜ญ

fluid bloom
#

iirc battlefield 2 also precompiled shaders and it took a long while

pearl elk
#

Older CoDs like Infinite Warfare dont even use all core to compile shaders

#

That must be the legacy

timber viper
#

is it?

#

pretty sure anytime I spawn a particle it compiles shaders first

#

and not upfront

#

its not

#

it was a related thing

#

but based on ur info it should have been resolved

#

i didnt use any major engine versions after early 5.1 since I was on bp2cpp lol

#

they dont know

proud jay
#

they don't ship

I'm tired

how to wake up

I see Laura typing...

you can try

timber viper

not tempted to

fluid bloom

you can pet them, once usually

i want to pet forever

the similar quality is that it's rough

I almost got mauled by a mother bear

she didn't ask for my consent

My colleague: Oh, I couldn't find them so I just added the Third Person starter content to the project and used those assets

Arghhhh

why did I just agree to a job interview screening on my birthday lol

she asked me like what drove me to this application

but she sent it to me lol

and now I'm stuck here

worldly sapphire
#

goddamn recruiters

proud jay
#

this is all @timber viper 's fault

timber viper
#

what did I do now?

worldly sapphire
#

Did they sign you up to a recruiter's website?

proud jay
worldly sapphire
#

Like the very benign version of signing someone's e-mail up to questionaable sites

proud jay
#

hmm true

proud jay
#

me and my homies hate recruiters

worldly sapphire
#

Do you they really call you?

#

I get the occasional mail for jobs that I'm totally not qualified for

#

But calls?

proud jay
#

oh yea

#

clearly you're not a programmer

#

if no recruiter has tried to call me in 3 weeks, something fishy is going on

#

now I'm gonna have to update my stupid cv as well

#

I don't have one ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

why the hell they want me to fill out a whole ass google doc about motivation and that shit

#

already in a mood to tell them to fuck off

#

why do they call me, and then I have to "defend" myself

timber viper
#

i dont get whats happening

#

tl;dr they are unamused by you and they're trying to make you speak about it?

proud jay
#

no

#

they contact me to ask if I'm interested

#

and now they want me to fill out a doc about why I think I fit the job and all that crap

timber viper
#

lol

worldly sapphire
#

I'm guessing recruiters are desperate to hit some kind of metric

rapid fox
#

@sand oxide virustotal only finds w32.aidetectmalware . False positive? ๐Ÿ‘€

timber viper
#

which brand

worldly sapphire
#

Man, I haven't seen this much talk about viruses since March 2020

rapid fox
#

Bkav

rapid fox
timber viper
#

if there isnt any FUD cryptor involved it looks like false positive but I dont know, dont trust me

#

but its your own exe

#

so why would it be involved

rapid fox
#

Both exe. Plus another unreal dev ran his through it and found the same file.

timber viper
#

Did you run any other AVs?

#

full scan

rapid fox
#

Yea web root. Full scan. 15 hours on both PCs. Found nothing. I ended up not having the mhyprot2 from Genshin alsom

timber viper
#

removing it wouldnt save you anyway after this point

#

if it was the source

#

you already gave access to hacker

#

local privelege escelation means you're doomed until its completely gone somehow

#

and it spreads like cancer

#

good thing an AV could report this to you even if it wouldnt detect it as virus

#

turns out there are also military-grade rootkits that only some specific brands or even specialized companies companies can remove but why would you be a target for this unless you're working for NSA or something

something even a weeb wouldnt post

Oh. I think I saw that. 1 moment, let me refresh.

fleet tangle

I gave it an 8/10

unborn lotus
fleet tangle
#

So above average!

timber viper
#

so it does get better after ep3...

#

because it was a bit boring so far

broken sigil
fleet tangle
#

It's been a while since I watched it.

broken sigil
#

It's not that unusual for AVs to complain about nothing

timber viper
#

it was on spring simulcast

broken sigil
proud jay
timber viper
#

freshly written malwares always get recognized as false positives

#

if there is a strong evidence and not just paranioa william* should continue researching

broken sigil
#

I had my own program flagged as a virus multiple times (probably because it was messing with registries)

If literally nothing else detects it, it's safe to say it's a false positive

timber viper
#

depends if its safe or not

fleet tangle
timber viper
#

you cant know

#

but yeah odds are against the idea being a malware

rapid fox
#

Yea I'm having the cyber firm try to find a random unreal game on itch to scan and see if they find the same file.

timber viper
#

but I would never take the responsibility of saying its safe

rapid fox
#

But it's mostly unity

proud jay
#

unity is malware indeed

rapid fox
#

Well I mean now yea. Lol

timber viper
#

lol an UE project has access to whole filesystem

#

and majority of OS utils

#

it doesnt need to be a malware

#

run as administrator and it can do anything

#

if its written inside of a UObject

#

even a plugin you downloaded if you didnt read its source code and act as a malware if you run it on editor

#

if someone wrote a fresh new malware it needs to be collected by AV first

#

it wont mark it as a virus first

#

if it matches some pattern or whatever its running it will complain

#

but it doesnt have to

#

depends on the malware

#

some malwares arent even malwares

proud jay
#

What does this mean

timber viper
#

instructions to execute, then they become viruses in your OS

#

once you execute

broken sigil
fleet tangle
#

Now this is an egg.

timber viper
#

wtf is this

broken sigil
#

Remember seeing something about that recently

timber viper
#

is this what they call "grinding"

fleet tangle
broken sigil

It looks sharp but apparently isn't

if you break a manual to the point that it stopped moving and the gear is still in then either the motor stopped or you need a new clutch xD

the new changes are worrying...

why is this all so vague

what does this mean

really? didnt know this

RIP open source bp2cpp then

what is this source?

some newsletter

its not my source

If only the EGS wasn't shit

i came here to share this

i hope you can tell me its all lies

but it seems like this is business insider info

timber viper

Epic 5.0 implies UEFN

#

and Verse of course

fleet tangle
#

They didn't remove the entire grants team.

timber viper
#

They removed the evangelists though

#

half of them

#

even from NA team

fleet tangle

So half of them are still there.

timber viper
#

i dont get why

slim atlas

wadstein was one of them

they are saying that they do it for stability

i understand it

proud jay

we should be outraged and burn epic hq

but still

That's sucky for Mat.

timber viper

they had only single man doing evangelism stuff on middle east and Turkey

slim atlas

i fear that epic is next for the rugpull

now we have no one to talk with xD

that's nothing compared to mobile

unborn lotus

Yes but most are just low effort

proud jay

mobile or desktop?

i bet 20 of the 40 games are visual novels made with renpy

idk where they get the info though

probably by asking around

i heard of alot of people on linkedin

i didnt even get an answer to my last grant application

Don't generate money directly.

Yeah, im concerned they might scale back or even stop the mega grants projects

fleet tangle

That would suck.

rapid fox
empty dune
#

That's not a good thing

fleet tangle
#

I'm sure they will scale it back.

slim atlas
celest musk
#

i think they had a lot of fat years with fortnite and now try to cut down to the necessary

worldly sapphire
#

That's a fair assessment to be honest

fleet tangle
#

They overhired during FN boom and now they're paying the price. Well, 830 people are. And it sucks, but I'd rather they don't go bankrupt.

celest musk
#

epic tried a lot of things, to get up in a 2nd market next to fortnite, idk how much the engine makes them compared to fortnite

#

FAB is probably another approach to get a 2nd stable income

fleet tangle
#

Fn was $6bn

#

Dunno about the engine.

slim atlas
#

i dont mind epic trying things

#

as long as they keep the engine

#

i want to make games

#

i have nothing else

#

maybe my book

timber viper

If I dont get answer in 90 days I would just ditch it

The engine is probably gonna be fine, but the scope of updates might be cut back

Idk, we'll have to see

timber viper
empty dune

timber viper

Force them to listen your demo

well the rate of updates has to decrease at some point, they pushed features like crazy in the past 2 years

this chat isnt about me.

timber viper

Or spam someone from linkedin

slim atlas

i will move on with my life now

I have a feeling verse and uefn is gonna be a major part of epic going forward, unreal might take a backstep

#

But this is just speculation
