You will do what in Blender? Hmap creation and texturing?
celest musk
updating your readme twice a day with the current time doesn't count

everyone knows lazy programmer is better programmer
idk what the hell you guys are pushing to gh all day

So what you prefer to live at a big city or a small city?
median wraith
fun fact here the big cities are less expensive than north small ones
proud jay
how
proud jay
just saying, this was delicous
unreal ether
Homemade bread is always good
median wraith
damm, that's way less than here that's about 200k and is small
and is hard to meet people from the sector or even programmers, idk there
or todo any activities really
cursive crypt
And what is everyone else doin' then?
proud jay
I mean I do have a car
so I could go to the bigger city if I wanted to
I just don't want to
200k people would already be the 4th largest city in belgium
the one I live in is the 33rd biggest
median wraith
And what is everyone else doin' then?
say half of the people is over 55 here
The people here usually goes to parties and concerts and that's all
Closer city have events that's for sure
median wraith
200k people would already be the 4th largest city in belgium
here big cities are 500k and up
this is one of the smaller
median wraith
And what is everyone else doin' then?
let's say this is too old school
cursive crypt
Do you want to move?
proud jay
here big cities are 500k and up
second biggest city is just over 500k here
biggest (being brussels) is like 1.2M
I hate brussels

matching this /data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%208/Female/Genesis8Female.dsf#Genesis8Female

that seems quite regular to me
median wraith
what kind of database requests?
The requests commands you do to the tools in the databases in order to request data, they have their own languages
cursive crypt
This must be a f LLM-I-know-it-all
celest musk
because i'm looking for a question mark later
fluid bloom
named capture groups make regex soooo much better
celest musk
this is just because DAZ has some kind of URL's in their file format
fluid bloom
at least then you can get an idea of wtf is going on there 😄
celest musk
which can be all kind of stupid shit
proud jay
but if you can read it you lose the essence of the regex
median wraith
damm
celest musk
and they don't have consistence
median wraith
I do remember to get the games license

old meme
celest musk

`Shin:/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%208/Female/Genesis8Female.dsf#lShin?rotation/x`

cursive crypt
idk why googlemaps time to time have errors in matrix
They probably compiled the Matrix City with UE3.
timber viper
it took me a while to understand why did you ping to me this lol
proud jay
can't even look up the meme since the guy got banned
celest musk
i thought the guy was stating that DAZ is required
celest musk
why would you make games without DAZ?
yea, you could maybe do 3D if you try hard enough, but there's no point
i picked daz because i suck at modelling and metahuman wasn't around back then
and DAZ kind of has affordable interactive licenses
or rather they had...
until they decided to pull off the indie license thing and charge big bucks
maybe unity will acquire them one day
cursive crypt
Didn't they get still few types of licenses tho? Or was it only commercial vs not?
celest musk
now you have to pay the actual item + some interactive license for each item
which is usually around $35-50
cursive crypt
Ah, yes the 3d license.
cursive crypt
3d printing? No, I think I talk about the Interactive license you mentioned.
celest musk
soon they charge per view, probably around $0,20 /s
proud jay
I had never even heard of Daz before that guy
cursive crypt
The ability to use their models into interactive apps.
celest musk
ah yea, that's the one for around 35-50 per item
yea they made their product pretty unattractive for indies
and now with metahuman, there isn't even a good reason to use DAZ, specially if epic stocks up on clothes
cursive crypt
Hide it.
cursive crypt

at least you didn't shoot them
slim atlas
its been 11 days
proud jay
is that the reason i didnt hear back?!!?
no, that would be your personality probably
timber viper
if they ask why you didnt read the bottom scold them back before they do so they wont have time to think you didnt read the page
timber viper
i wont scold them
bonus points if you can though

slim atlas
i am at the very bottom again

its not even a week lol
proud jay
started at the bottom now we're back
timber viper
did you expect to release a game in a week or something
celest musk
i am at the very bottom again
just stay there and get comfy
proud jay
you can do that too with 4 hour sessions of deep focus
slim atlas
Imagine someone gives you a large amount of money and you are not able to make a game with it.
Thats basicly me
brittle holly

timber viper
wtf
celest musk
didn't you make a game before, what's stopping you from finishing your game?
ran out of cash?
timber viper

slim atlas
ran out of cash, not realy but something happened
proud jay
you could stretch 100k quite far even in germany

My fave is when she starts crying because the guy is depressing her with reality
brittle holly
Well she had an older show with diff char
celest musk
what was the other?
okay maybe it was more, lupin was pretty good and rick and morty in it's own way
proud jay
she's also in After Life with Ricky Gervais

proud jay
we had 0.11% interest rates here until recently
unborn lotus
we had 0.11% interest rates here until recently
Yeah but whats your inflation? Ours was almost 10% lol
One year deposit - 6% interest
celest musk
some meds and food are at least 50% more expensive than before
even local stuff like tomatos...
proud jay
Yeah but whats your inflation? Ours was almost 10% lol
like 12% last year
unborn lotus
And milk
brittle holly
yeah cunk on earth is the one I know of
There’s 2 other Cunks and she also played in Death to 2020, maybe the sequel too
proud jay
for the last year
proud jay
One year deposit - 6% interest
highest we have here is like 3.5% for 3 year deposit
unborn lotus
Idk if the real estate market will collapse or not, they keep saying it will but never does
unborn lotus
highest we have here is like 3.5% for 3 year deposit
2.5% with euros, 6% for local, one year
I guess etf's are a lot more
But why invest when you can burn the monies doing indie dev!
proud jay
Idk if the real estate market will collapse or not, they keep saying it will but...
they do be saying that
depends a bit on the market
but my etfs have been kind to me

you could have unemployment or state pension to live off
if society does not collapse by then of course
unborn lotus
So youre saying spend money now
proud jay
no
you can spend what you want
but the longer something is invested the more benificial
see: compounding interest
there's one simple trick to get easy money
wait for your parents to die
(may vary depending on who your parents are)
celest musk
that one sucks tho
unborn lotus
Ok but if you have siblings
celest musk
might aswell rob a bank
unborn lotus
You gotta share it with them
proud jay
You gotta share it with them
what if they suspiciously would die as well 🤔
just get richer parents lol
unborn lotus
My mom is/was a teacher earning under 1000E 😅
proud jay
it's just a fact that the best way to become rich is to be born rich
unborn lotus
Maybe the easiest, but the best is a solo game project!
proud jay
the richest woman on earth literally just inherited everything

solo dev kind of sucks
I had 6 free months to work on one and it was the best time

fun fact, top 5 richest women in the world got their money from inheritance or marriage

I like this too, too bad i made most of my purchases for games on epic well before this came around lol
Now, if they offered it for the unreal marketplace 😳

I do think with some improvements the epic store could be really good
I can't say I prefer steam that much more

That launcher just needs to be better and the way the games are categorised needs to be better
That's all they need
That launcher is cursed
Tbf steam was like that for quite a while too
Also the full game download for 1 mb patch needs to be fixed

I mean I have it, but I bought like 2 or 3 games on it and that’s because back then they were doing that exclusivity thing and I didn’t have a choice. But I hated them for it ngl
empty dune
I didn't mind the exclusive thing tbh, epic usually had much better deals than steam during that time
brittle holly
The other thing is, if you’ve built up a steam library, and you’re going through it to find stuff to play again when there’s nothing good coming out, it’s annoying to have to go through 2 launchers, one of each (cough Epic) takes for effing ever to load, might I add

I wasn’t directly affected but they f-ed over a lot of people when they started making devs pull games that had pre-orders against them

That's a significant amount at a large scale

It was insane how cheap things were on epic
But, then you'd have to deal with the launcher

I wasn’t directly affected but they f-ed over a lot of people when they started ...
what happened?
brittle holly
what happened?
Iirc Metro:Exodus was in pre-order stage and lots had forked over the money
And then Epic made them sign an exclusive for 1 year deal so they pulled it off Steam shortly before it launched
Sure, they got their money back but people were effing livid
clear dust
oof
brittle holly
And they did that with several games
Eventually the exclusivity deals dropped to 6 months and then they stopped doing it because it prly cost them too much for likely not enough results
But it definitely hurt their reputation. There’s being “disruptive” and then there’s hurting your potential customer base
clear dust
Thanks for the 411

I had it since it came out on PC, and I just replayed it recently, but still waiting for the Forbidden West and GoW:Ragnarok to come out on PC, I really hope they don’t chicken out of porting those for whatever corporate reason

According to a report by Kotaku, a deal with the Singaporean government is helping to keep Ubisoft's ambitious pirate game, Skull & Bones, afloat. The game was initially planned as an expansion to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, back in 2013, but since then has been in design hell due to "a classic case of mismanagement for eight years,” according to one former developer.
It was meant to be a quick and easy expansion, but “Nobody knew what the fuck they were doing,” said an ex-developer.
