Last i read about it, EGL was supposed to make a loss till 2026,at which point they projected they'd break even

[timber viper]

still waiting for them to hire a junior to fix it

[celest musk]

so they planned a rewrite for 2025 from the start?

[timber viper]

you dont need an evangelist

just literally find someone

doesnt matter

[empty dune]

Same, this is why I'm concerned

[timber viper]

you're asking too much

steam is arguably reliable and quite predictable

no one else is

[celest musk]

that's the problem with getting up a competitor

steam is as software almost perfect

[timber viper]

did they though?

ah sorry

[celest musk]

well, i mean all the infrastructure behind it, too

how they roll out patches, how they roll out precompiled shaders, modding support, platform support

the launcher is still margins better than EGS

[empty dune]

The biggest complaint about the launcher that's holding it back from my perspective is its terrible performance. Steam feels snappy, EGL makes me dread Thursdays because I'd have to switch to store mode to claim the free games

I've seen it not register purchases for upto 15 min in the past

The library showed it as purchased

[slim atlas]

laura!

[empty dune]

But the store told me i didn't own it

Almost made me buy twice. It would have failed anyway but this amount of unreliability from an online store is concerning

[slim atlas]

If i have a ref to an array item, and i change that array a few times, is the ref still valid? Or do i need to find the item anew?

[celest musk]

i think that's their stupid awful api between launcher and epic backends (and eventually how they sync their servers)

[fleet tangle]

No.

Your best bet is to store a ref to the array object and an index.

Or to the object holding the array and an index.

[slim atlas]

but indices change when you remove items

that means an item falls

[queen isle]

watching UE fest, they are adding disabling nodes!

stealing from unity i see

[slim atlas]

So i want to make weapon durability, in an inventory that stores ALL items. Its a massive array

[celest musk]

disabling nodes was a feature since 4.27?!

[empty dune]

Windows store is somehow even worse though

[slim atlas]

everytime you hit with the sword

i want that sword item to loose durability

[queen isle]

ohmybad

[slim atlas]

i need to set array element for that.

[empty dune]

I haven't seen anything fast about it tbh, but ill take your word for it

[celest musk]

i'm not 100% sure, maybe i'm confusing it with debug nodes

There is an option in 4.12 under the Experimental section in Editor Preferences that allows you to disable nodes.
it's still experimental btw.... xD

[slim atlas]

I wish we had Laura at home 😦

that would be so useful

[celest musk]

i'm glad we don't have the "Laura at home" variant here

[slim atlas]

i dont want to use the channels anymore

my questions have become so complicated that i mostly get help here now...

[celest musk]

laura at home would tell you to hot reload

[slim atlas]

or in programmer

[queen isle]

just ask manny bot for unreal help

[slim atlas]

sigh

[empty dune]

For the small fee of an F22, you could hire Laura!

[slim atlas]

sadly they do

[empty dune]

I didn't say lawdy would contact you through discord

Oh

[slim atlas]

noone said anything about paying.

[empty dune]

Is it an F35?

[slim atlas]

i just dont get how else you would do this

you have to search the entire array for this item

and then set array element

[rapid fox]

No one can hire Laura. She just is.

[slim atlas]

what question

oh

bp

yes

lol

[timber viper]

4x of would solve this problem i suppose

[slim atlas]

blue

its a struct

my inventory system uses nested struct tables

[rapid fox]

Omg she has an hourly rate emoji. That's hilarious.

[slim atlas]

square pins are ref

i know

they i can edit on demand

but with a get i could convert to a ref

via find

however thats to simple

my nodes are much more detailed then that

ok

so refs are just matches then

i thought that there might be a hidden key system behind the array

that gives every entry a seperate name

its sad

that means i my method is already fully perfect

its sad.

I thought there was a better way...

what can c++ do

that bp cant

in this context.

deliver deez nuts

thanks for your help

i thought about buying green rank!

not sure what the advantage is

[proud jay]

you get to spend money

[lofty lark]

won't it ruin your flower things

you won't be symmetrical-ish anymore

[slim atlas]

yee but pfist is a cool guy

knew him for 7 years by now

and 50 euro for 12 month... is dirt cheap

[empty dune]

Im thinking of waiting until the first of pfist's contents drop. But im excited

[lofty lark]

I think I'm missing a reference here >.>

[timber viper]

not just helping

helping more

[slim atlas]

in times like these, where I am the one needing the money...

why dont i get paid for support

i am laura verified

[proud jay]

I need money at all times

not just in times like these

[empty dune]

Is it reliable though?

[timber viper]

no

[empty dune]

The source?

[slim atlas]

what

[timber viper]

that source claims I am not a part of LaurArmy

which is a lie

[slim atlas]

🔪

[proud jay]

fake source

much like the source about firing the entire grant team

[empty dune]

Exactly, i dont trust this source either

[lofty lark]

That is ringing a bell but there is no one home 🐠
I shall blame that on the full cup of tea.

[rapid fox]

I cant even tell what that icon is.

[proud jay]

she made very detailed questions with code and errors and what she already tried, all in a very polite way

[empty dune]

It looks like the genshin impact gacha token

[proud jay]

[rapid fox]

Looks like a sad face

[lofty lark]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[proud jay]

flext

weird flext buttock

sorry about that

just eat beans, the GAS will come by itself

that will be 250 dollars please

[empty dune]

0.25 of M2 Abrams?

[slim atlas]

I wouldnt even touch GAS if you offered me a million euro

GAS is an abomination!

[empty dune]

Dollar IS a currency though

[timber viper]

i like this abomination

[rapid fox]

Gas is an abomination until its understood. (I also don't know it I just make bps for my abilities instead)

[empty dune]

Ive never eaten a bagel in my life

[empty dune]

Getting there

[broken sigil]

I saw it on another server and laughed way too much at it 😂

[slim atlas]

would be cool if you could rent people on this server

for support

[celest musk]

you can rent me for emotional support

[slim atlas]

that wont help with code problems.

[empty dune]

Im available for hire if you need moron support

[proud jay]

agmoncaek is eternal truth

[broken sigil]

[empty dune]

This is what happens when you play too much scorch

[lofty lark]

I find it interesting that it got jumbled in the same exact way for all of you

[worldly sapphire]

I think it's actually an ordered list

[lofty lark]

But they are all wrong.

[celest musk]

what was it supposed to spell?

[lofty lark]

They all would have the wrong ordered list

[empty dune]

Wtf

[lofty lark]

yeee

[empty dune]

Never in my life I would have figured that out

[lofty lark]

That's why I said im surprised it got jumbled the same exact way for all of you

[empty dune]

This is now part of source lore

The great AGMNOCAEK anomaly

[lofty lark]

maybe i went too fast

I'm halfway through my tea, which means I can spell almost correctly.

See? I just spelled the word almost correctly.

Twice even!

[proud jay]

Considering they popped in all at once I'm assuming they added them, then connected to internet and all sent out at the same time but not in order

I might be very wrong tho lol

[empty dune]

You started like 15 min ago wtf

[lofty lark]

You caught onto my joke fast

[fleet tangle]

Standard tcp/udp transactions?

[empty dune]

you usually are very wrong, yes

(that was a joke)

[lofty lark]

I can't tell if this is a "you drink fast wtf" or a "you drink slow wtf"

[empty dune]

You drink slow wtf

[broken sigil]

I will send windows defender after you

[lofty lark]

the best offender is a defender or something like that

[fleet tangle]

90% of the time when I make tea, I haven't even taken the teabag out before the hour mark and I end up having to microwave it before adding the milk.

I just forget I'm making it.

[lofty lark]

Your tea must be strong af

[empty dune]

Also, im now wondering if that 15 min is the half life for you drinking tea

[fleet tangle]

After a while, it doens't really get much stronger.

[lofty lark]

I'm not gonna chug my hot tea you monster

I do not posses the power to handle great heat like Lord Scorch.

[empty dune]

I thought you liked scorch

Dammit, too slow

[broken sigil]

Tea is meant to be sipped

[fleet tangle]

Scorch is only good for applying debuffs.

[empty dune]

Tell that to the Americans

[lofty lark]

🙇 who are you, who is so wise in the ways of sciencesourcerery

[empty dune]

Why would i put unity in my tea? I dont want to pay 20 cents per sip

[broken sigil]

[empty dune]

Not monster energy drink? That you can realistically confuse with the video game "Gods and Monsters"? I have been lied to🥹

Oh I absolutely hate energy drinks lol

It has plenty of other bad shit, I will agree.

[zinc wagon]

We're too sleepy to lift our hands

[unborn lotus]

Liver failure gang

[zinc wagon]

Huh how does that work!?

[timber viper]

acid?

[fleet tangle]

Liver failure?

[unborn lotus]

I think it was the tons of sweeteners in pepsi max

Aspartame and the like

[zinc wagon]

I think they meant kidney

[fleet tangle]

And the acids.

[unborn lotus]

Like industrial quantities over 10 years

[unborn lotus]

No it's also liver failure

Have to rewatch the vid lol

[slim atlas]

Elephants have a special noise they make when bees are around. Humans dont have that... Elephants are more advanced then we are socially.

[lofty lark]

what

did you forget we have this thing

[zinc wagon]

I wouldn't imagine the lover being affected at all by anything in pepsi...like there's no real thing to filter but idk

[lofty lark]

Our noise is "hey there's bees here"

I once spent 3k INR on coca cola during a 7 day trip with frens. To put it into perspective, a litre of coca cola costs 60 INR (or atleast did back then)

[timber viper]

I scream and yell instead, and if bee is close enough I throw objects around

sometimes objects hit people

and hurt them too

[lofty lark]

Bees are friendly

[slim atlas]

anything that isn't a bumblebee can get fucked

[timber viper]

i didnt evne aware of its existence

[lofty lark]

bumblebees are friendly

[timber viper]

nah bees are great for nature and I enjoy eating honey

but its better if they are far away from me

[lofty lark]

Inktober is a thing we're you create a piece of art for each day of October. Usually a specific theme for each day

[timber viper]

sometimes you can only love things when they are away from u

like verse and haskell

[empty dune]

Here's your daily reminder that bumblebees in most regions of the world are an invasive species and cause the death of lots of other native bee species each year

[lofty lark]

invasive species can get fucked too

even when it's a bumblebee

[empty dune]

We have come full circle then

Consensus reached, bees can get fucked

[lofty lark]

nononono

invasive species can

no specie is exempt

[empty dune]

Lol

[unborn lotus]

But in pen. There's also blocktober for level design

Ok ok I'll leave

i knew i was right to worry

Apparently this fee will only happen for outsiders and not games

questionable

[regal pecan]

Let me guess, situations where you utilize, but do not distribute, the "software".

At least your old UE licenses will still be free and it won't be switched on you retroactively.

[light valve]

wat

[outer hawk]

you better make videogame with passion, feeling stuff yourself thinking its dope and great to play instead of polling people to please an audience

if your game is just great, people may even discover new tastes

its not about following what works, but building something that feels fresh

[fleet tangle]

Unless you're EA.

Also the inventory management minigame is the best minigame.

[outer hawk]

Yeah, seriously, It would be awesome to play a game where you actually see your character open his backpack and then you need to puzzle ur items in

[lofty lark]

Tetris inventory best inventory

[outer hawk]

yeah titanfall 2, I somehow never played it before and it's pretty much an arena like shooter I was looking for

Wish Epic would make another UT

[ornate lion]

yup yup, umm so where do i ask to have people test?

[broken sigil]

I've bean meaning to but I keep forgetting 😅
Are those fancy caustics in that branch as well?

if you know

[broken sigil]

you can post on the job boards #instructions if you are looking for testers or if you have a WIP build or released project post here #1054845120236757103 #1054845218723209226

I'm totally working by playing New World

See, look, they don't shadow their foliage

[broken sigil]

hmm not horribly expensive considering it's Razer

A friend years ago somehow hooked up a regular controller to a phone with some weird dongle, might need to ask him how he did that lol

But in some spots, with dense foliage, it's definitely darker. What's the trick I'm missing here

could be screen space shadows or SSAO?

[timber viper]

there are cheap ones like this

but expect a bit latency

[broken sigil]

yeah

if I would get one would probably look for something more "premium"

like that razer thing

[timber viper]

i'll go with cheap ones first

if I have money I'll get deck directly

since I skipped two offers to work on bp2cpp I'm going bankrupt

[woven wing]

I think you might be right. Does look like SSAO

[broken sigil]

Razer makes some really nice controllers, I used to use a 50$ one and it felt great but the sticks would get destroyed after like a month
Then paid like 120$ for Razer wolverine V2 I believe and that thing is so nice, all buttons are mechanical (clicky, like mechanical keyoboards) and sticks are still perfect months after I got it

[timber viper]

Nothing beats dualshock

[broken sigil]

this honestly feels better than dualshock ps4/5 controllers

sec

https://www.razer.com/eu-en/console-controllers/razer-wolverine-v2

it's xbox layout but the controller is amazing

There are even some fancier controller which don't use potentiometers for sticks but some magnetic system which apparently is supposed to last forever
Potentiometers are what breaks down first on a controllers or develops drift after a while but so far I'm perfectly happy with the one I got

[woven wing]

Taken at the top edge of the screen, that's ssao?

[broken sigil]

yeah it looks like SSAO to me

[regal pecan]

I haven't opened UE in a while, but that shouldn't be SSAO and if it SSAO then someone's done something horribly wrong.

[woven wing]

Taken from New World

[regal pecan]

I'm looking at the stretching at the edge of the screen as the camera moves up.
The shadows that get lighter towards the edge is definitely an SSAO sign.

[ornate lion]

so just a simple in and out, i still got to wait for a tester?

i got generated steam key if anyone willing to accept my plea haha

[regal pecan]

I've always wondered why no one's ever drawn the screen with a ~20px buffer so screenspace effects have no edge-of-screen artifacts.

[dusky bobcat]

For game dev, it doesn't make a lot of difference. For some virtual production projects, you probably need DLSS though.

[ornate lion]

steam key going out soon

[pale scarab]

Oh does unreal need that?

[dusky bobcat]

It just can boost the performance because VP is mostly running on editor mode not packaging

[wide glacier]

I posted my first ever job board post, ngl it's a bit nerve racking looking for help

[unborn lotus]

It's easier if you bring some 💰💰💰

[wide glacier]

No doubt

[ornate lion]

[proud jay]

how does one become double bright

[wide glacier]

Eating a lightbulb? idk

[proud jay]

is that why you are called da glass man?

[wide glacier]

Yes lol

[proud jay]

it's only a bit shit

some parts are good, some parts less so

[unreal ether]

Blame hungry birds

[proud jay]

no

do I look like the kind of person that has that

[unreal ether]

I mean it's just a bucket on wheels

[proud jay]

I barely have a bucket

I'm 26 guys, not a middle aged man that has paid of his house and now spends all his money on power tools he never uses

you think I'm a home owner?

atm all I own is building plans for a house

and when it's built I will still have to pay the bank for 25 years

maybe then I can install french cleats

hit me up when I'm 52

damn, that's depressing

[unreal ether]

As a 20 year old who owns several power tools I never use, I feel attacked 🥲

Maybe the house is being intricately carved into the one brick

[proud jay]

nah, now we put up a poster and the neighbours can complain for a month, then it gets reapproved with these potential comments and then we can start

[unreal ether]

[unreal ether]

Ah good old Bureaucracy™️

[proud jay]

I do own 2 drills kinda

so powertool gang

[proud jay]

it is what it is

but then I can start paying 🥲

my FIL bought me a drill to hang up a painting he gave us lol

[slim atlas]

Hey

Unreal Engine 19.99 per seat per month

[proud jay]

and the one is a very small one, more like electric screwdriver with 6Nm torque only, but great for assembling furniture

[unreal ether]

A decent drill was the first on my hitlist. I've owned it for years

[slim atlas]

Finally abnounced

[timber viper]

wasnt this initial plan

with ue4

[proud jay]

it's a corded drill though

kinda want a battery powered one, stronger than my small one

but don't really have a need for it lol 🤷

cordless ones are often more weak though, and this was for drilling through giant wall

also it was a gift

❌ 👁️ 🎁 🐴 👉 👄

uh oh, they just launched our new project at a customer

now we'll have like responsability and shit

that sounds like the start of being homeless

[river sable]

a wonderful day to all of you, sourcerers

X, formally known as Twitter
I wonder how long this is gonna last

[unreal ether]

Probably until the platform dies. I mean every link I click of it, it redirects to twitter.com lmao

[proud jay]

yeah, that does remain very funny

man can't even do proper renaming

[unreal ether]

I don't think anyone's gonna call it X on principle. It's a very dumb name

Clearly the person we should all aspire to be

[proud jay]

it's already wild to me that some companies actually replaced the twitter logo on their website with the dumb x

🫠 pls

only one way to find out

I don't think I know enough COBOL for this joke

[river sable]

don't forget the tacky marble background lmao

the app logo has a background yeah

sec

I'm a masochist what can I say

good point

[dusky bobcat]

I'm fortunate not using twitter means don't need to suffer 𝕏😎

[proud jay]

even the "CEO" of twitter doesn't have it

[river sable]

don't embark on the super villain arc laura

[proud jay]

she definitely doesn't have any power

just there for PR

[river sable]

lAURA

I don't have a caps lock key 😔

cause I never use it

I can put one on it if I want

I could even add a key to caps lock until I press space

[river sable]

wait you guys don't always have capslock on and press shift for lowercase?

[proud jay]

no, I type with voice dictation

and just shout for caps

[pearl elk]

Theres a game under there somewhere

[dusky bobcat]

Code Vein?

[timber viper]

Yes

[proud jay]

on your phone?

playing that kind of game on a phone seems like a nightmare

smol screen

[timber viper]

Yes iphone 11

[proud jay]

sorry, only the new iphone 15™️ is the best for streaming games

[timber viper]

why would I own a broken device

[proud jay]

to be cool

good point

[timber viper]

i just wanted to see how iphone experience is

[proud jay]

thoughts?

[slim atlas]

the new iphone 15 bends

is water tight

[timber viper]

not for a new iphone

[slim atlas]

and charges in the microwave

[timber viper]

good

[pearl elk]

phew someone scared me, said UE is gonna cost money next year

[proud jay]

if by bending you mean breaking

[slim atlas]

thats mindbending

[proud jay]

it already costs 5% of your revenue, luckily you don't make any money though

[timber viper]

my previous phone was huawei p10 lite and i used it 5 years

[slim atlas]

only for non game related projects

[pearl elk]

its gonna be pay per seat for industries other than game dev apparently

[slim atlas]

seat based

[timber viper]

i dont bother with updating to recent one

as long as it works

[pearl elk]

I was like phew, least Im making games

[slim atlas]

your experiences are not real.

[proud jay]

it's fine if you just use it as is, but I hate that you can't customize anything at all. Can't even put the icons where you want on your homescreen

[slim atlas]

start over again

[proud jay]

also, I really miss the android chat bubbles for messenger

[timber viper]

my phone usage is about messaging, answering calls and reading manga lol

[timber viper]

i dont need another existential crisis

I am aware i am in a simulation

no need to remind me

[slim atlas]

no i meant your work experience

all the skills

if you dont switch to ue5

[timber viper]

[slim atlas]

yes

[timber viper]

[timber viper]

2019 was when I graduated from high school

[pearl elk]

[slim atlas]

2019 was when i got a new pc

[timber viper]

i dont the iphone hate, it just works for me

its not like I am using it much

[proud jay]

you guys don't use linux phones?

well yes

[slim atlas]

android is not linux

[timber viper]

ios is also linux

[slim atlas]

android is google

[proud jay]

that's unix

[slim atlas]

google os

[proud jay]

not linux

[timber viper]

ah yes it was unix

with no JIT

[slim atlas]

LGBTUNIX

[timber viper]

yet it runs genshin impact

[slim atlas]

[proud jay]

I don't hate it, I just prefer android, and the pricing is just insane

[slim atlas]

[proud jay]

they have nice cameras though

[pearl elk]

Citrix ftw

[slim atlas]

i am translinux

[timber viper]

it was very cheap compared to its android alternatives when I got it

[slim atlas]

half windows actually

since birth

[timber viper]

there was a samsung 50usd cheaper but I was sick of samsung

[proud jay]

[proud jay]

[timber viper]

working at google must be nice

you dont have to put much effort

you know its going to get cancelled

[proud jay]

still ongoing, still slow though https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/01/big-layoffs-at-googles-fuchsia-os-call-the-projects-future-into-question/

but you have to know at least 400 leetcode questions by heart to get hired though

[timber viper]

The OS isn't a small project, though—it's not even based on Linux, opting instead to use a custom, in-house kernel, so Google really is building an entire OS from scratch. Google actually ships the OS today to consumers in its Nest smart displays, where it replaced the older Cast OS.
eh

why

[proud jay]

control and money I guess

[timber viper]

if this supports gaming out of the box I'll give it a chance

returning back to dumbfuckistan? wow

cant run cyberpunk 2077 natively on android

[proud jay]

they want fuchsia to run on all devices though

also pc's

and tv and nest and phone

[timber viper]

one of the developers of chromeos made me best game AI ever existed

dude's IQ is beyond 5 digits

if its shitty probably reason is google

nier automata had fishing gameplay and I couldnt succeed ever

[proud jay]

make mobile games with lots of micro transactions

[slim atlas]

i feel this so bad

[pearl elk]

They made this one just for Laura

[timber viper]

it wasnt even educative

it was a filler talk

[pearl elk]

lol its like those events where they get you in to brainwash you

[river sable]

it was pretty great for people just starting out

[pearl elk]

its all hip mojo speak

wololo

[timber viper]

nothing new or cant be found on web though

they had a better 2019 talk for the same topic

[river sable]

always good to have up to date condensed information on this stuff

but yeah it didn't go in depth at all, was hoping for a bit more too

[timber viper]

no but they confirmed verse hot reload is incoming

implicitly*

[pearl elk]

ewww

that sounds so wrong, I hot reload in private

never in public 😛

[timber viper]

device & new vm combo might prevent that

though I am sure epic will do its best

Tim sweeney's talk about layoffs actually explain why engine is so terrible

[pearl elk]

why do I always miss these things

[timber viper]

UE on its own merely provides 0.04% of income to Epic

[proud jay]

he did a talk about layoffs?

[timber viper]

yes

[proud jay]

well fortnite is just making bank though

[timber viper]

fortnite is on decline

[proud jay]

that's courageous

[timber viper]

thats why they are pushing uefn

and uefn gets real care unlike ue

[proud jay]

yeah fortnite is dying, and the thing that drives it is user content of which they want to share revenue with creator

[timber viper]

his metaverse idea is providing a platform to allow people develop games and sell on uefn instead of steam from what I could understand from that talk

[pearl elk]

metaverse is the new monorail

[timber viper]

because of this they are really doing their best on anything related with verse and uefn

meanwhile UE will starve to death on the long run

0.04% is literally nothing lol

even less than what they pay to uefn creators since march

[pearl elk]

Its okay, other companies will make great games with UE5 like CDProjekt 😛

[river sable]

put some tape on that part of the screen

[proud jay]

oh idk

I don't get those that much

[timber viper]

hm, those things dont appear for me

[proud jay]

sorry

[timber viper]

it just appeared at first, then never

[pearl elk]

I only blame myself, I didnt succeed hard enough to help Epic succeed

[timber viper]

its not your fault AActor exists since 2004

with the same code overall

[queen isle]

dont lose hope, your next game could make morbillion

anyone here good at Regex?

[proud jay]

can someone be good at it?

https://regex101.com/ is my regex copilot

[dense storm]

or at least understand the weird language

[proud jay]

what do you need to know?

[dense storm]

yeah its not working for me

[zinc matrix]

where can i make mind map like this
but with more freedom and complex structure, like those thing polices do when the tracking criminal activities

[dense storm]

im failing haha

[unborn lotus]

miro?

[proud jay]

draw.io?

you could also do this in OneNote if you really wanted

[timber viper]

even in iphone notes

[pearl elk]

Obsidian has this plugin which shows document tags in a mind map like structure which is cool

[dense storm]

i want a regex that matches #mantis mantisid and one for #platforms ps4 ps5 xboxone xsx so when the commit comment has #"platforms and ps4 i can detect that as ps4

[zinc matrix]

oh that one does worked for me, thanks

[timber viper]

since no one answered, i'll take the bullet and paste GPT screenshot

[pearl elk]

awww poor depressed GPT

[timber viper]

dont pity it

it has to endure maximum bullshit and stupidity when no one answers my bp2cpp questions

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/depressed-no-one-listens-pessimistic-pessimist-marvin-the-paranoid-android-gif-11204001

[proud jay]

that would only match one platorm though no?

not if you listed multiple after one another

[dense storm]

yeah it will be a list of platforms

but i only want to match one

[proud jay]

the real question is why use regex for this

[timber viper]

this syntax kills me

I'd rather writing a parser via python

[dense storm]

because thats how teamcity does commit message checking

[proud jay]

so you just want to check if ps4 is in there

or you wanna get a group for every platform?

[dense storm]

i just want to see if ps4 is anywhere after #375021928752087041

on the same line

[timber viper]

or #platforms.*\bps4\b

gpt output

[proud jay]

dis is da way

\b checks word boundaries

but it has no effect here

[dense storm]

would that match #375021928752087041 ps5 ps4 xboxone ?

[proud jay]

the .* matches any character

so as long as it's somewhere in the line it's fine

[dense storm]

thanks :p

was it yesterday? i missed it

[river sable]

third talk on stream 1 iirc

[proud jay]

I miss unreal fest europe

I've only been once, but it was very nice

[river sable]

I'd love to go

not getting on a plane though

[timber viper]

wtf is this talk

when flowgraph exist

why would anyone use instanced uobjects

lmao this is that open source graph thigny on github

with slight modifications

other than flowgraph there is no that is more abstract

this: https://github.com/jinyuliao/GenericGraph

[rancid root]

Sorry is not really enough, as per the very simple rule 1 of the server: Be excellent to each other. I've given a strike to enforce this.

[timber viper]

so why was it?

unrealfest isnt really interesting this year so far

I'm expecting more from this:

Automated Dialogue Workflows at Embark Studios

At livestream 3

today

and this:

Adding Verse to Your Creative Toolbelt

wait.. Creative stands for UEFN right?

i thought it was implying something about UE

half of the talks are about UEFN

gotta earn those s

this is awful

maybe you should release an UEFN game xD

[proud jay]

long 10 min

why mods calling me out like that

normally they just silent strike

[pearl elk]

Are there normally multiple fests per year?

cuz I swear I went to one on the Gold Coast 😛

[proud jay]

an quinn already told me I was silenced

robbie just bullying me

[timber viper]

[timber viper]

unrealfests happen per year afaik

[pearl elk]

well Gold Coast was this year, unless its financial years

[timber viper]

i want to be at GDC but san francisco a bit scare me

it costs around 5k usd

including hotel and plane ticket

[pearl elk]

I was gonna rent a cardboard box for a week for $100k

Its quality cardboard, 3 ply

[proud jay]

unrealfest europe was really cheap when I went

it was like 350 euros, including hotel and parties and food

just had to add plane tickets

[pearl elk]

I swear the food and drinks I got were more than the ticket price and thats not including all the talks

[rancid root]

Hey, I did not do it to come across as a bully, just wanted to provide context.

[unborn lotus]

I went to a conference here where there was one UE evangelist, it was great, made a ton of connections

[timber viper]

same happened to me last month*

[proud jay]

the opening talk when I went was 4 evangelists

they were hilarious

and useful

[timber viper]

but I got to see how terrible the state of the industry in my country

like, majority of the people worship and beg for connections to people with average #cpp regular experience as if they're John Carmacks

70% of them are using unity

90% of the Unreal users believe interfaces make code faster so we shouldnt use casts
