Interestingly, these quick camera movements started to annoy me lately.

FPS games kinda get too erratic, like you need to be on drugs to play them normally.

[broken sigil]

as someone who likes to play shooters competitively... I can't deny that 😆

[cursive crypt]

But it does not bug you so much then? Your years, I was fine too tho.

[broken sigil]

Not as much, I'm kinda used to it since it's usually mostly what I play
I have to bump up the fov to like 100-110, remove motion blur and I'm good

[cursive crypt]

Aa good tips, will try to keep them in mind.

[regal pecan]

Don't have to move the screen as much with a high FOV I suppose

[broken sigil]

Default 90 that most games use makes me motion sick
110 is a lot wider so you get a bit of a competitive advantage since you can see more and movements in general look a lot less erratic for the same reason

[regal pecan]

At some point in time there was a switch between horiz. FOV to vertical FOV (or the reverse) and it made FOV numbers higher.

[cursive crypt]

What ratio is your monitor, btw?

[broken sigil]

16:9

[cursive crypt]

Inches?

(wdf, we are still using inches for monitors?)

[broken sigil]

27

[regal pecan]

I was more surprised inches were used in Europe for monitors.

[cursive crypt]

Exactly, there are cm, but if you say it, nobody can imagine it.

[broken sigil]

and for wheel/tire sizes as wel 😆

[cursive crypt]

That too, yep.

I was wondering whether the area of the monitor had an effect on the sickness.

[broken sigil]

another game with a good soundtrack
https://youtu.be/IzTrJ3RxeNQ

[broken sigil]

I would imagine it would

not something I really tested tho

[cursive crypt]

I had, and still have, a 27". I still got unpleasant feeling.

With the 32" @ 120Hz it seems better, but then I play more modern games too.

[broken sigil]

oh with this music, this game is gonna be a mood and a half, I can already tell 😆

[cursive crypt]

gf likes thrillers and scary movies, we watch even Twin Peaks nowdays :/

I'm not showing that game to her, I will have to play it prolly.

[broken sigil]

get her to play Alan Wake 2, she will love it lol

[cursive crypt]

Nah, she can't play at all. I haven't seen so confused person. Even with simple cooking games it is hard.

The most hard game we tried together:

There are two buttons in it and moving.

And she was sweating, I feel uneasy to cause her play games.

[broken sigil]

When you mentioned that, refresh rate plays a massive role for me too, I used 127Hz before this monitor and that is about perfect, that 120 range, the jump between 60-120 is massive
Currently using 170Hz and while I can still clearly tell a difference between 120 and 170, the difference is a lot smaller

Another big thing is response time, especially grey to grey time, you can have 2 120hz monitors and the one with better GTG time is gonna look much crispier when moving the camera, less blurry

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, I think these have an effect. At least it seems reasonable to expect that.

[broken sigil]

yeah

[broken sigil]

😆

[cursive crypt]

Motion blur is making things worse. Why it exists even? 🤔

[broken sigil]

considering that... alan wake 2 is proper horror, just went through the first creepy section, probably not for her then lol

[cursive crypt]

⬆️

[broken sigil]

makes things a bit better at lower framerates, usually turn that straight off myself lol
Unless it's a game where they somehow managed to get it right and isn't noticeable

[broken sigil]

it's a bit scarier where you are playing it and you are "there" yourself, considering she struggles with controls that would be an experience and a half 😅

[cursive crypt]

That's why I said I will have to play it - instead of her, lol. She will be watching hidden behind a pillow or something.

[broken sigil]

hahaha

and how are you with horror? 😅

[cursive crypt]

I prefer to avoid 🫣

I don't think it is so unusual 🤔
Girls like scary movies, I prefer something more sweet, lol

[broken sigil]

lol

I love horror, I was waiting for a good horror game for ages

[cursive crypt]

That might do then, tho around Halloween, there were few released.

[broken sigil]

there is also apparently new silent hill coming out that looks great from the trailers at least

[cursive crypt]

I liked somewhat State of Decay 2. I reduced the zombies to the minimum tho.

[solemn shore]

I loved world war z like it had WALLS of zombies such fun much dakka

Plus characters like this

The game was what the movie should have been

[unborn lotus]

days gone?

[broken sigil]

Dark corridor, pathtraced global illumination... a flashlight
I can't get over how cool it looks to have global illumination in games now

[cursive crypt]

Her jacket also has builtin LEDs.

[broken sigil]

came straight from cyberpunk 😆

[cursive crypt]

Federal Bureau of Illumination.

[broken sigil]

I didn't even notice... look at that reflection in those tiles, I've spent so much time just looking at graphics in his game so far lol

[regal pecan]

If you shine the flashlight at something of a particular color, how much does it affect the rest of the scene?

[cursive crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/reflejo-espejo-ciencia-ondas-de-luz-reflection-gif-16537239

[broken sigil]

I just closed the game, will have to record/take screenshots tomorrow, but yeah it colors the stuff around it

[cursive crypt]

You can close quickly the game with just Alt+Tab if I understood correctly.

[cursive crypt]

So

someone is selling the matrix demo on steam

for 20 euro

and is currently making big bank 😂

[queen isle]

[slim atlas]

and epic hasnt done anything yet

Matrix World

on steam

😂

the reviews are glorious

[queen isle]

[slim atlas]

lets see how this works out 😂

obviously the money is gone

and obviously epic cant do anything against this

steam can only remove it

but still 😂

oh great

[median wraith]

"big bank"

someone should go the youtubers channel and props for paying this

lmao

I don't think the people can use the Matrix name

so this one is easy to takedown

[pearl elk]

Call it Vector World

[median wraith]

I feel bad for the youtuber that paid for this

but tbh if you search UE5 Matrix will be the first thing that pop out to compare...

[pale scarab]

hi

is there like a place for unreal tips or strategy or something?

unity has them and sincei m using unreal, i hope there's one as well

[median wraith]

like what ?

[deep glen]

also pinned messages in each channel

[median wraith]

Seems like the same creator of Matrix have them all

[pale scarab]

like did you know stuff. Like in unity, there's a help/strats/tips for example. In unreal for example, have like "did you know if u just press B and left click, you create a branch node" type of thing

something make us go like "oh you can do that|?" tips like that. Like we can't google stuff like this because people like me dont know it existed ya know hahaha 😅

i wanna learn

[pearl elk]

Weird that it would even get onto the platform tho

[slim atlas]

this is exactly the reason why i think epic cant do anything

lets see if it is still up

[cursive crypt]

That was it. We were playing Don't Starve Together. The guy that suggested it and me and another friend. Me and the friend didn't like it. We ended up playing V Rising instead. Everybody loved it.

[errant raven]

I'm starting not to like solo dont starve

All the mods that expand the game and give you even more to do is broken

If I knew lua, I'd be able to fix them

Pretty much have permission to do so and upload to workshop for everyone else who still plays solo ds. But god damn, it's a pain.

[soft night]

there is game "dont scream"

[errant raven]

@broken sigil do you know any good youtube recommendations for learning lua.

Aside from websites like code academy, etc.

[broken sigil]

Nope, never really looked into LUA too much myself

[errant raven]

Is it even useful

This game is literally the only thing I know that uses lua

[broken sigil]

Only thing I would really consider lua for is as a scripting language for a game or something, modding support, etc...

[fleet tangle]

WoW uses lua

[errant raven]

Yeah laura is kinda useful

[river sable]

source 2 uses lua too if i recall correctly

[broken sigil]

Who is that

[errant raven]

Mods that add shit it foesnt specify in the mod notes shouldn't be allowed to be posted unless they state them

Went through hell to find the mod I installed that added bad odors/must when you pick up poop, rot, or monster meat and spawned gas bubbles around your character. And randomly spawned in must in any container

It was a mod that just added a new crafting recipe for snake oil. Atleast, thats all it said it did.

[cursive crypt]

Noticed some quirks with the camera and the ui/ux, but pretty solid so far.

Lua, where indexing starts from 1... Blasphemy.

Like the whole world agreed on one thing and you think it is better to change it.

In general, good programmers does not mean good language designers.

[warped pine]

Hey guys what does a Technical Artist do?

Wrong answers only.

[cursive crypt]

Mops the floor.

[timber viper]

World of warcraft mods

And roblox code

[timber viper]

Yes

Its syntax is questionable, but even with the fact its a dynamically typed lang, its the fastest scripting language ever and its the golden choice most of the times when you need a scripting language for your game

A lot of baked features allows extensibility of your native frameworks

[errant raven]

Are all script languages like python, and dont need to be compiled before running?

[timber viper]

Scripting language often refers to interpreted languages

So yeah most of them are expected to be like Python

[errant raven]

How does looking at mod scripts explain how the code works

[timber viper]

Same vibes as looking at ue source code to learn how it works

[errant raven]

That only works if you already know the language..?

Holy fuck my worlds temperature is 125°F

[broken sigil]

if you are coming from something like C++, C#, etc... you will generally have no problem understanding languages like python, lua and similar even at a first glance
At least that's been my experience

[timber viper]

If you have zero idea of lua read manual first

[errant raven]

This shit didnt come with a manual

[timber viper]

Its publicly available on lua Web site

[errant raven]

I can kinda read it

[timber viper]

https://www.lua.org/pil/1.html

[errant raven]

Most of it just looks like fuckin jibberish math symbol hieroglyphics

[timber viper]

Lua bad

disappears to not get cancelled

[broken sigil]

I especially love pointless keywords like then and end to solve a problem that wouldn't exist if it used braces like every sane language

    function fact (n)
      if n == 0 then
        return 1
      else
        return n * fact(n-1)
      end

[errant raven]

What the fuck

Wheres the :

Or the ;

[broken sigil]

You don't like having whitespace, tabs and new lines affect the execution of your program?
||/s||

[timber viper]

Pythonic languages are superior

[timber viper]

Its more readable and you know it

[broken sigil]

[timber viper]

Braces are overrated and ugly

Semicolon is extra effort

[broken sigil]

said no sane person ever

[timber viper]

Imagine working with a nested template types and a pointer hell

Having indent based syntax helps a lot

You just lose the ability of having local scopes but thats also overrated

[broken sigil]

I think you might change your opinion if you try using a language where indentations matter, it's insufferable when trying to do any actual work with it

[timber viper]

I tried to run Python two days ago

It didnt run

Because parser doesnt like my indent

Even though I just pressed tab key

It says its ambigous

local size1 = item1.components.stackable.stacksize
local size2 = item1.components.stackable.stacksize
local max_size = item1.components.stackable.maxsize
local combined_size = size1+size2

then return end

I do not like the syntax

Looking at mods scripts for the game

Most of it is just importing. Zip files of other things with 2 or 3 functions in the modmain.lua file

I think its importing zip files. Has addresses in " ".

Barely understand it

Tf is a .tex file

Where would you store these ass files?

which game?

[errant raven]

Dont starve

My glommer bugged out and dissapeared (its flower was still red which means hes still "alive" and wont respawn on next full moon) no way to fix it. So I deleted it's old statue with console, burned flower, used console to delete any instance of a living glommer. Spawned in new glommer statue, saved game, exited, and game crashes.

Not even the worst part, when I restarted the game my fucking world disappears from the load screen. But its file still exists in steam directory which means it didn't actually disappear (only pops itself if you die, which I didnt die)

Maybe I can edit the save file and get it back

Nvm it's a long ass string of letters and numbers

[cursive crypt]

Does survival means the usual crafting in that genre?

[broken sigil]

No crafting so far, but you have to pick up bullets, meds, etc...

[cursive crypt]

Ok, what game is a horror, but not survival? 🤔

[errant raven]

Original resident evil 4 was the same way

I mean you could kinda craft

[regal pecan]

Survival implies you have to fight a declining progress bar.

[errant raven]

Not really

[broken sigil]

https://youtu.be/VyxMZ2vS3dI

[errant raven]

The cow knows where it is because it knows where it isnt

[regal pecan]

If you had a game of any other genre and you added a declining resource mechanic to it, would you expect it to be never/rarely/sometimes/mostly/always perceived as a survival mechanic?

[errant raven]

A survival mechanic yes

[regal pecan]

Though 4X games have a lot of declining resources and they aren't considered survival in any sense. I suppose it's outweighed by how many other resources are always going up.

[errant raven]

Does that make fall guys a survival game?

Or fortnite

Mario has declining lives before you have to start over, does that make it a survival platformer?

[regal pecan]

Mario has scary levels and survival mechanics, that makes it a survival horror game.

[errant raven]

It's a platformer

[pale scarab]

a scary platformer 😨

[past violet]

Bethesda publishes a lot of games, but that's separate from Bethesda Game Studios. Doom/Doom Eternal were developed by Id Software.

[pale scarab]

is this because of starfield? he didnt expected it to have that negative feedback 😦

its just has too many dialog

[errant raven]

The fact he'd rather "insult" people instead of admitting starfield was poorly optimized

[past violet]

that's very true

[errant raven]

"Fuck you spend more money to have a better playing experience "

[pale scarab]

no amount of optimization can help starfield. its a very boring game

[regal pecan]

That's a standard middle management tactic at this point.

[pale scarab]

alot of people agree

starfield is just sooo boring

[errant raven]

Its space skyrim

[past violet]

he's like "um you're gonna need a pretty good pc to run this next gen game 🤓☝️" and then the game looks like something that should have released in 2014

[pale scarab]

if no mans sky can redeem themselves, its not too late for starfield!!!

[errant raven]

And the fact we get more skyrim rereleases than cod games and they dont patch any bugs in the new releases

"New releases"

Bastard adds survival mode and calls it anniversary edition with a new quest with 3 options

[past violet]

I'm speculating here but I think creation engine is a patchwork nightmare, but the execs at bethesda are under the impression that fixing it would be a waste of time and money because they can just keep pumping out mid-tier games that sell moderately well

[errant raven]

They pump out skyrim

[past violet]

Otherwise why do they keep using it? It's clear to every artist and programmer that plays Starfield that the engine is super outdated and needs a major rework

[errant raven]

Fall out 76 was very bad

Bethesda needs to be like valve

Valve never made a bad game

Nah valve isnt Activision

They're not releasing 5 different games with the same title

||Mw2||

I feel like most game dev companies forgot their core values and freedom of creativity

Modern games feel null

[cursive crypt]

There were good games iirc, Alan Wake 2, Baldured Gate, Diablo 4, Zelda whatever

[broken sigil]

Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty was amazing

as well

[cursive crypt]

Just what I heard ppl were praising, haven't played any of these.

[cursive crypt]

It is a DLC to old game /kek - that's why I didn't mentioned it.

[broken sigil]

True 😅
Tho a 23 something hour dlc with its own story pretty much, legit could have been its own standalone game tbf

[errant raven]

God of war and ragnarok were good, the newish fnaf game, elden ring were good too

Scarlet and violet was mid

[errant raven]

soulsborne dlcs ☕

[unborn lotus]

Alyx is hl3

[errant raven]

No it isnt

Doesnt have a 3 in the title

Gears of war judgment would've been gears of war 4 by that logic but

[past violet]

there's a new fnaf game?

re4 remake was also really good

[errant raven]

Containment breach

I call it new because I just heard about it a few weeks ago

Security breach*

The DLC for it is relatively new

Ah

I watched a playthrough of it but it looked pretty mid

It’s made for small kids tho

[errant raven]

I play it for the lore, the lore is fucked up and dark. The way I like it

Is there a screenshot mode that I’m missing somewhere

I feel like this game of all games should have one

[errant raven]

What ever happened to prntscrn being a screenshot button

[broken sigil]

I'm just using the Nvidia's overlay, I'm not 100% sure if it has photo mode

woo, that was a nice nap. Now maybe I can focus on my game, make some progress 🙂

had made a fresh pot of coffee, and halfway thru first cup I was passing out 😦

I was playing a game for 6-8hrs already, I'd like to get something done on my project

[unborn lotus]

I decided my project will use hand painted unlit art

Should be a breeze to complete

[tulip orbit]

it'll make it go faster for sure. I've spent tons of time trying to figure out how to light my maps in my procedural dungeons, and still havent really figured it out

[tulip orbit]

mine is already gone too

[unborn lotus]

Only snowed above 1800m here

[carmine frigate]

if u can rotate segments only 90 you ciould make 4 light bakes for all items and segments

[tulip orbit]

if I bake the lighting before the map gen, every tile is going to be lit the same...

[carmine frigate]

you can generate custom lightmaps

[tulip orbit]

I dont know how to do that... I'm leaning towards using lumen tho, envisioning some levels that will be partially open, and dynamic lighting. Might have a light on the player (flashlight or torch or something)

[median wraith]

the what

[tulip orbit]

but I'm quite a ways away from getting to that point right now, I'm just working on getting a more flexible generation system going

[carmine frigate]

pre baked light for multiple settings

[tulip orbit]

just learned how to create a new object in c++ and got it to compile 😄

[median wraith]

you mean todo that on blender or where ?

[carmine frigate]

yea

[median wraith]

also what you mean by the 90º ?

so you bake those into a texture and then use it on the AO or whatever right ?

not sure what else you mean to have 4 bakes per actor ?

[tulip orbit]

rotate on 90: the same straight wall piece used to face different directions, instead of making a mesh in each position, a whole room might be the same mesh, but rotated at 90' intervals

[median wraith]

oh okay

if you are using modular parts note not gonna work well on baked light

aside from that, what you wanted from realtime illumination ?

you need moving sun or so ?

[tulip orbit]

I didnt think baked lighting would work, I mean, it probably would if I didnt mind perfectly static lighting...

no moving sun in my worlds, but I'd like things to be fairly atmospheric and realistic lighting

previously, I've just spawned ceiling lights in each room, and randomly placed wall lights around. but with semi-realistic settings the maps have ended up pretty dark. I think I just need to tweak the light settings, and the post process settings

[hollow dawn]

do yu think that the epic launcher will finish downloading and installing and then displaying he "im done" message before the next UE update arrives?

[carmine frigate]

ok, so what if you spawn a BP... lets say the floor as root and spawn the walls objects and the light in

[tulip orbit]

my thought right now is that the lighting stuff will be in a sublevel, so that the main map gen can load in whatever lighting setup is appropriate for that map. So I can make some levels dark and moody, others foggy, other bright and clear... whatever

[cursive crypt]

There was a Lighting Scenarios feature in UE

[hollow dawn]

so you dont wanna use dynamic lights or wut?

[tulip orbit]

yeah was going to use dynamic, and lumen

[hollow dawn]

cause you could make a BP that spawns them after doing your level gen

[tulip orbit]

the issue I mentioned was how to spawn them in appropriate spots to effectively light the map

[queen isle]

You can set up your map with lights, record locations/settings and spawn them in blueprints
I'm not sure but I would assume you would be able to disable them in blueprints too.

[hollow dawn]

you could spawn placeholder actors in your walls and floors BP, which you find to place the lights from the chosen light BP

that way your light locations can be managed in the room generator where you can find good spots depending on your wall placement

so you make a foggy, sunny, bla light BP, that does a get actor of class location for the actors your Room gen spawned, to then spawn actor of class light sunny/foggy whatever

[tulip orbit]

how do I decide where a good position is?

[celest musk]

https://tenor.com/view/you-got-to-ask-them-kamala-harris-smoke-make-a-question-interrogate-them-gif-19507893

[tulip orbit]

if I just randBool it, one room might have a light every 3 feet, and the next room could be completely dark

I've still got a fair bit to go on the actual map generation side, so at some point I might learn an algo to help me figure out even spacing

[celest musk]

the algo is %

the procedural generator in UE has a lot of stuff

that should help you

@broken sigil after the game crashed it wont make new worlds 💀💀 "ran out of memory error" only 60% ram used

Also all the worlds that dissapeared, their files recreate themselves when the game launches and closes.

I'm assuming it still thinks the worlds exist, but also thinks I died and wants to delete them hence why they dont show in game but do show in the files. And creating a new world over it causes it to crash

So how do I delete files that behave the way a virus would, that isnt a virus?

[broken sigil]

[errant raven]

Tell me how 😭

They. Refuse. To. Be. Deleted.

How tf

[fleet tangle]

Soft ram. Google it!

Also just because you have free ram doesn't mean the engine the game is running on is willing to/able to request more of it.

[errant raven]

I'm not even sure it actually running out of ram

Its taking way too long to make a world that it just stops and throws up any error it can

The files

World files that get created. And the name of the file is the index

Same with the cave systems and alt world when using a item in game, itll have the same saveslot#

All comes back when manually deleting

[celest musk]

just accept them, don't be so picky

[errant raven]

They crash the game, it is unacceptable

[celest musk]

doubt that they are the reason for crashs

[errant raven]

It def is

Wasnt doing this before until this happened

Chill I'm only using like 20 mods

And most are just quality of life, world gen manipulating and single function mods that just disable or slightly tweak stuff

[cursive crypt]

They added these collections thingies. For example, 700+ mods, work out of the box.

[thick oracle]

there's a good-ish chance that it will run better than the base game

[thick oracle]

how does something like that even happen

[regal pecan]

with LODs that shouldn't even cause issues

[celest musk]

i don't understand it xD

do they use something like a spline to render the cable?

[fluid bloom]

https://blog.paavo.me/cities-skylines-2-performance/cs2_parkingbooth_mesh1.png

https://blog.paavo.me/cities-skylines-2-performance/cs2_parkingbooth_mesh3.png

keep in mind that the game is a city builder

[celest musk]

yes

but what's up with the coords coded? that sounds like spline rendering

however that mesh looks static

[regal pecan]

Easier to normal map a keyboard. Still, can you even go inside the parking booth?

[fluid bloom]

it's a city builder

[celest musk]

yes but that shouldn't be an issue with LOD handling

[regal pecan]

Doesn't stop you from having a photo mode.

[fluid bloom]

that particular building will probaly occupy 16 pixels on your screen on average

lot of the models are missing lower LOD models

[celest musk]

which is why you would render an imposter most of the time/low poly LOD

[fluid bloom]

everything casts shadows

[regal pecan]

Should have used nanite

[fluid bloom]

there's a pile of logs that is like... over 100k verts https://blog.paavo.me/cities-skylines-2-performance/cs2_logs_mesh.png

[celest musk]

even nanite has imposter handling afaik!?

[celest musk]

now that looks more like an issue than the 4 cables

if there's really no lower LOD available

[fluid bloom]

All I had to do was turn off steam cloud, uninstall, and reinstall. Beautiful

[regal pecan]

Colossal Order has also told us that that they are using a middleware called Didimo Popul8 to generate the character models.
Didimo: Shhh!

Despite the low quality, (cascaded shadow mapping) is by far the slowest rendering pass, taking about 40 milliseconds or almost half of total frametime.

[queen isle]

it's the slowest?

[regal pecan]

Half the total frametime, so yes.

[errant raven]

Bloody hell it's still crashing

[regal pecan]

Of course the teeth cast shadows.

[celest musk]

don't forget the logs

100k vertices without lower LOD is really...

no idea why the game runs badly, stick with us while we get this figured out 🥺

they did say it wasn't ready or something like that but come on...

I just get hangovers so easily these days it's not worth it. Still drink very occasionally

[errant raven]

I've never gotten hungover

there's often some element of genetics with hangover severity

it's bad, you're irritable, tired but you can't sleep because adrenaline is pumping. Headaches, nausea

it has gotten much worse as I've gotten older

[errant raven]

I feel like that all the time

Only sleep 2-4 hours a night

[timber viper]

Some genes are OP though, I remember there is a small amount of people in the world that dont require sleep much and can survive just like others

[errant raven]

High pitched after pop I guess

[timber viper]

Then there is also a cursed gene, that you're sleepy as others but can not sleep

[broken sigil]

It's quite common with generalized anxiety disorder, every single thing you never thought would give you anxiety and almost a panic attack does
From something as simple as going out, driving, anticipation of something, etc... Talking from experience 😅

Anxiety can also evolve into severe OCD... which I again have experience with lmao

[errant raven]

My brothers dog makes unnecessary, sudden loud barks that put me on edge

[timber viper]

Severe OCD is death

I'd rather die

[errant raven]

So I light off fire crackers to do the same back to him

Fair is fair

[brittle holly]

Yeah, it’s funny how we all have sensitivity “stats” that influence how we are affected by things

[broken sigil]

Oh speaking of which... depending on my mood literally selecting graphics settings in a game can be a pain
Even if you know 100% you've done something, you have to check it again lol

[errant raven]

"Shit I didnt die properly, I'll have to restart the process now and get it right"

[timber viper]

I met seriously sick people who are suffering from OCD, those are the "actual severe" ones. They cant accept anything as it is, everything has to be perfect for them, and if it isnt, they cant continue functioning as a normal human being and they alwas reject help from a professional

Like lets say we're watching a movie and said persons favorite character did something not sensible

this is an apocalypse for them

they'd stop watching and dive into depression

[brittle holly]

Same, but depends on the FPS and performance 🙃

[errant raven]

I like numbers that are divisible by 8

My favorite number is 552

Welp... it was almost as severe as that before for me
When I bought my car, like I would go over a pothole and I would spend 20 minutes looking at the bumper if I somehow scratched it even tho I 100% know it's impossible

These days the worst it gets to is me quadruple checking if I closed all the car windows 😆
And I have to do some things a specific number of times, that's a common one lol

OCD doesn't bother me much really, it's the anxiety part that's debilitating

[timber viper]

I guess its my fate that I have people around me who is suffering from OCD 😹
like.. half of my (ex-)coworkers, majority of my relatives, more than half of my close friends.. WHY ALL OF YOU HAVE OCD

[errant raven]

I'm stuck with a comorbid schizotypal personality disorder/ major depressive disorder/ ADHD 😅

Use to take meds for the depression but it worked a tiny bit

[cursive crypt]

It is noticeable the rising trend of psy disorders in paste few decades.

[timber viper]

Knowing from those who are suffering from OCD if meds doesnt work you should stop immediately (by telling your doctor first) otherwise you end up being a brainless person who lost his personality

[broken sigil]

Yeah, I've always had social anxiety when I was younger
Later that evolved into generalized anxiety, I was missing out of school because I would get really sick whenever I had school, as soon as I stayed home everything went away
I didn't really know that's anxiety

Then I used to have a group of friends when I was like 18 and everything kinda mostly went away... as I stopped going out with them it came back gradually, ended up getting gastroscopy because of constant acid thing and constantly feeling sick, they found nothing except like irritated surface from the acid

Then I blacked out almost 2 years ago and everything came back again about 50x more severe
So yeah I don't really know what feeling 100% "normal" even feels like 😆

[errant raven]

Telling my doctor requires getting out the house and making it off the porch

It's been two years

[broken sigil]

hahah 🤣

[timber viper]

meds dont solve the former one anyway

it'd only help on adhd and depression

[brittle holly]

Sounds like you need a group of friends again 🙂

I’m not one to talk tho I have maybe 1 or 2 if that 😅

[broken sigil]

or a psychiatrist which I have been delaying for the last 10+ years 😆

[timber viper]

if you had IRL friends they could bully you into that

[errant raven]

The psych ward I went to last time, had a lot of schizos and other patients with mostly mood disorders

Fit in well

There was one woman who literally couldn't sleep and all the sleep meds they tried for her couldn't put her to sleep. She was so scared of sleeping it kept her awake

[timber viper]

makes sense, those two are the category who cant stabilize theirselves without medical help

[errant raven]

Scary shit

[timber viper]

She was so scared of sleeping it kept her awake
lol I just watched a video about it yesterday

a guy in the same position

doesnt sleep for one week, believes he'll die if he sleep

then his family drugs him to sleep

dude dies

It was awful

[brittle holly]

Well without sleep you can die within about a week anyway so.,. damned if he did/didn’t

I have 2-3 friends which have been asking me out for about 2 years now
A friend of mine, she had a birthday almost a year and a half ago, I bought her a birthday present then and it's still sitting on my desk waiting for the better days lol
My anxiety is preventing me from going out with her, similar story with the other 2 friends, one of them literally lives 5 minutes from me

Not to even mention trying to find a girlfriend or anything else like that, that's pretty much mission impossible in the current situation

[brittle holly]

What about them coming to you first ?

[timber viper]

Ideally they should bully you

obviously being polite doesnt work

[regal pecan]

Dating, Saw style

[errant raven]

All the people who bullied me in school smoke meth and go in and out of prison now

[timber viper]

Earlier this year I turned off my phone and didnt answer any calls, didnt go outside either. After two weeks my friends raided my house and bullied me into social life again

[broken sigil]

It would maybe be easier but still my nerves would eat me alive, for me even just a thought that some event is happening or there is something I need to do gives me massive anxiety

[brittle holly]

Just pretend you have the mod 🔨 IRL 🙂

[broken sigil]

😆

[timber viper]

lmk if you arrive to Antalya, I'll make sure you beat this

[errant raven]

Relatable

What about food or drinks

[timber viper]

this is how BM convinced his family to not go to holiday at antalya

[broken sigil]

😆
That's actually still on the table for next year, we'll see
Maybe my nerves get by then lol

[errant raven]

I only eat packaged food, I freak out and set a timer for 30 minutes everytime I eat food that's not packaged

911 on speed dial

[brittle holly]

You know, you could package it yourself

[unborn lotus]

But packaged food has preservatives and stuff?

[timber viper]

I think I have a very small social anxiety too, but its mostly when I am around strangers. After a few minutes of chit cat it goes away

[errant raven]

Preservities are okay

[broken sigil]

Surprisingly don't have issues with it
I only avoid eating before bed because that increases my heart rate and gives me anxiety... again

I think we are starting to see a pattern here 😆

[brittle holly]

I think that’s fairly common with people that are not extroverted

[errant raven]

It's just salt's that give longevity to the foods lifespan

[timber viper]

I'm definitely an introvert but not socially shy or asocial

[errant raven]

I'm scared of being drugged by people who might hate me

[brittle holly]

Preservatives are not necessarily salts but I don’t want to give you another phobia so… happy thoughts

[errant raven]

Phobias dont just develop like a virus

[brittle holly]

I’m only antisocial until I get to know the people

[broken sigil]

The best way I can describe is like having 1 side of your mind thinking rationally, having things it really wants to do and another side that does everything to stop your from doing it

[errant raven]

It took 2 years of isolation in my bedroom to develop the fear of going outside

[versed vector]

it's hard on the stomach to eat before you lay down too

[broken sigil]

yeah

[brittle holly]

Maybe, but I don’t want to f with people’s brains either 😅

[timber viper]

Welcome to ACT

[errant raven]

My brain fucks with itself anyways

Might as well do it too

[broken sigil]

Is that something else I need to add to my list of diagnoses? 😅

[brittle holly]

Yeah my significant other has such similar issues in that regard

[broken sigil]

it sucks

[errant raven]

Why are mental illnesses getting more common

[timber viper]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_mode_network

TL;DR the brain wants to not do what you want to do is default mode network

the brain wants to do what you want (your free will) is the administrator mode network

[brittle holly]

There are prly many factors, one being that these things just went undiagnosed in the past and people didn’t talk about mental health as it was taboo

[timber viper]

your default mode network is going brr when you're anxious

[errant raven]

My state has a pretty large psych ward from back in those days

Up to 1000+ patients

Still used today but most of it was converted into a museum

[broken sigil]

Oh god it's like I'm reading about myself lol
I'm thinking more about what I'm gonna do when I'm 80 and how nice it was when I was 8 than I'm thinking about the present moment

[brittle holly]

Yeah, who’d have thought that electroshocks and lobotomies don’t actually heal people 😀

[errant raven]

Well, every state has a few, one just happens to be really really really close by

[timber viper]

Default Mode network is also core part of the learning

like how you remember which function to call when designing a system etc

you dont put an effort to do that

it happens automatically

[brittle holly]

So what you’re saying is BM’s brain has an RPC issue 😀

[timber viper]

its not server authoritative

[broken sigil]

😆

[timber viper]

client is abusing server functions in BM's brain

[errant raven]

Gender dysmorphia is also a mental illness, it got added to the dsm

Its apparently more rare than Schizophrenia

[broken sigil]

I've always had a weird ability to predict and guess romantic relationships of other people 😆
In school a friend of mine liked some girl and I pretty much instantly knew, somehow can pick up on it easily

More recently my other friend, she just started a relationship with someone, she asked me what I thought about him (I didn't know him personally), she showed me some of his instagram photos and I told her it won't last long, he is too full of himself and won't last more than 2 months

2 months later she told me exactly that has happened
Except that ability doesn't work at all when it comes to myself lol

I'm blind as a bat when it comes to my own relationships lol

[errant raven]

Tell me if my crush wants me

Cus I want her, I just dont wanna leave house

My predicament is iffy

[broken sigil]

I might have a completely useless ability to recognize relationship stuff for other people but I'm still not a magician or a psychic 😆

[errant raven]

It's ok I know she wants me

Who doesnt like this magnificent beast

[timber viper]

thats the spirit

now go outside

[errant raven]

Too dark

[timber viper]

better

if no one can see you its nothing to worry about

[errant raven]

But stars and the moon

I'll be encapsulated by their beauty and freeze to death in the cold winter night

[broken sigil]

Here is a good cyberpunk song instead

I'd post cannibal corpse but man, their song titles would make twitter rage

https://youtu.be/hJ1fgWl_HLc?si=DG3vJNmrsJB3Hct5

Great song, but artist turned out to be a shit person.

Pretty sure all the videos are demonetized so it's ok to listen to, doesnt support him at all

[broken sigil]

I generally listen to anything that sounds good to me, be it rock, metal, pop, whatever
Quite literally lol

had this on repeat for the last few days now https://youtu.be/I00GkC8feDU

[errant raven]

We both confuse the fuck out of spotify

[broken sigil]

lol

[errant raven]

I even have christian songs (sentimental value) in my playlist of deathcore, punk, rock and metal

And country songs

And the song they played at my grandpas funeral

[broken sigil]

lol

[errant raven]

The looks on peoples faces when random shit like that came on after a song about ariving blood never gets old

In the end is emo athem

[broken sigil]

I'll need you to edit that last part lol 😅

[errant raven]

Better

[broken sigil]

[errant raven]

I have an artificial bipolar disorder when spotify is open and playing

[broken sigil]

also really like this song, it's not anything like what I usually listen to but this one somehow got stuck in my ear lol
https://youtu.be/AreV6l8e83g

[errant raven]

Rappp

The one thing I refuse to listen to

https://youtu.be/mvJjmWTg7Qo?si=X_ahGNTNJgWI66aS

[broken sigil]

I heavily dislike rap usually

oh wait I have 1 good one

[errant raven]

Everyone ik irl that listen to rap have fell into crime

[broken sigil]

Listen to this, my favorite part is at 1:39 but whole thing is pretty good
https://youtu.be/qMXESlny4-I

[errant raven]

It says falling in reverse

I cant help but click on it

[broken sigil]

I would recommend listening to the whole thing but if you wanna skip the rap go to 1:39

this guy is insanely talented

[errant raven]

https://youtu.be/JvJQm7f2Bs4?si=NAxZUlkXk6FHBwa_

I liked him better when he was younger

[broken sigil]

live is even better, they do alternative versions
https://youtu.be/g10qKRsi28U?t=249

[errant raven]

Let me rephrase that, I liked him better when he was in escape the fate

[broken sigil]

yeah I like some of his older stuff but I do prefer his current tracks

[errant raven]

His last resort cover, phenomenal

[broken sigil]

to be able to pull off so many different styles and do them flawlessly is insane

I like this one too
https://youtu.be/ESOjt2_yJrU

[errant raven]

I seen a guy on youtube shorts that makes rap and nothing to do with the genres greenday or blink 182 fall in but makes his titles "reposting until greenday and blink 182 fans see this"

[broken sigil]

lol

[errant raven]

Obviously no one likes it, never has any likes on it. Should do better with his advertising

Insulting two of the greatest bands isnt the way

[broken sigil]

people on twitter still try to cancel him constantly for his mistakes 10-15 years ago, been to prison, did his time, came out a better person, built a career and people still can't accept it lol

[errant raven]

I still dont even know what he did

I dont care for artists like that

They make music for us to listen to, not for us to know them and everything they do irl

Stalkish/creepy asf for people to do

[broken sigil]

he was there when a certain thing happened (can't really talk about it here) and got sentenced for being there at the wrong time basically

[errant raven]

I only know what front porch step did because some lady dm'd and told me they liked my picture but hated the song that was playing due to what he did that she told me about soon after

[broken sigil]

yeah exactly, I only know about it because I've seen the drama whenever FIR goes viral

[errant raven]

No ones trying to cancel what's his face for the satanic themed tour

[broken sigil]

Love this one too
https://youtu.be/B2cbhYihBWY

[errant raven]

Why are people starting to mosh at rap concerts now tho

And I thought that was blood on the dance floors unforgiven video, because of the girl in the dark, with snow around

https://youtu.be/wPJ_AnmB9Yg?si=BJU0OmSWc4-Zr_BC

[broken sigil]

😆

[errant raven]

Nah drug in me original is superior

It being slowed down like that does not fit, in my opinion he has smoked crack for that

[broken sigil]

I actually really like it, it's an interesting take on the original 😅

[errant raven]

I'm just too used to og version

https://youtu.be/8NnQs3EtoqU?si=o4YdRsbQYoAqq3v2

That's an amazing song too

That album is a music kit in counter strike too

[broken sigil]

Have you heard of Ghost?
Actually like some of their stuff too

[errant raven]

Ghost, from mw2

[broken sigil]

One of blinks best under rated songs

[pale scarab]

How can u guys tell which GPU compatible with a motherboard? This is so complicated for me 😭

Like 4060, which motherboard is suited for it?

[errant raven]

Anything modern

It's really the cpu and ram that has to be compatible

The only thing gpu needs to be compatible with is technically the case you put it in. Size matters

[pale scarab]

So like pcie 5? Because sometimes people said it will bottleneck so I needed to be sure hahah

CPU and ram?

So like ryzen 5 and Kingston?

[unborn lotus]

have you used pcpartpicker? it's pretty easy since it does all compatibility for you

[errant raven]

I'm pretty sure 4060 doesnt have pcie5 anyways...

And ryzen 5 doesnt mean anything, it's that and the numbers that come after it

But since you have the 4060, I'll assume it's either the 5600 or 5800x3d,

[broken sigil]

4000 cards are pci 4

[errant raven]

It's only storage with pcie 5, and it's not even worth it for those

[pale scarab]

Oh hahaha thanks guys. Okok so PCI 4 and go with 5000 plus for my GPU. Thanks alot u guys I will keep that in mind

[pale scarab]

O wait I never heard of that. Ok will check that out. Ty

[errant raven]

If you didnt already buy the 4060, and are just building a gaming rig, the rx 6750 xt would be a better choice

4060 was underwhelming

Just doesnt have tensor cores and all the fancy dedicated cores nvidia cards have

[pale scarab]

I regretfully bought it already 😔.

[errant raven]

Its ok, itll be better for your unreal needs anyways

[pale scarab]

Yay! Finally some pros hahaha. All I heard was cons on this 4060ti 😭

[errant raven]

It's mostly gamer reviews, no one ever considers the productivity side they're "meant" for

[errant raven]

All nvidia gpus are productivity cards marketed as gaming gpus ☕

[tulip orbit]

saw some northern lights outside. That must be why code isnt working, the cosmic radiation is interfering

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, heard they were visible from from far south too.
