i am very confused actually 😄

what a trailer

if there wouldnt be a N7 logo on the back

you wouldnt know this is mass effect...

[soft night]

[slim atlas]

not at all

i am also not sure about the helmet

[soft night]

also in-game engine

[slim atlas]

"ingame"

this doesnt look that good.

it could be a web 3 game lol

i hope they show alot more soon

[soft night]

the teased things was scrapped names for mass effect

[slim atlas]

am i fucking happy they didnt call it anything like that

THE EPSILON EFFECT

STAR CITADEL

THE OCULON

ah come on

[soft night]

the oculon was for citadel name

[slim atlas]

nono

it was the OPTIGON

[empty dune]

Yes i would have loved to play the Sci fi rpg masterpiece Biowar, made by Bioware

What the fuck are these names???

[empty dune]

What you think nebula isn't a great name??

Or Unearthed?

[empty dune]

What in the Cyber effect 2077???

I cant believe in saying this but, just let mass effect die, while it still has some dignity........

[regal pecan]

while it still has some dignity

[cursive crypt]

Wasn't Bioware owned by EA? What dignity.

[empty dune]

I mean, bioware was independent for most of mass effect 3 and entirely for mass effect 1+2

So the ea taint only extended to Andromeda

Which wasn't that bad, it was a fun game, just not a mass effect game

[cursive crypt]

EA swallowed them 2007. I don't know how much of influence they had, but it was before ME2 (2010).

[empty dune]

Oh really? Yeah my bad then

Before answering you I went and checked it out for example.

A person can't remember all that shit around.

[empty dune]

i took it the wrong way

[broken sigil]

with some distorted amusement park music in the background

[cursive crypt]

lol, what kind of amusement park is that? Abandoned for 50 years in the hills?

[broken sigil]

"coffee world" 😆
In some silent hill like village town lol

[cursive crypt]

I mean, I do appreciate the art, but it somewhat overshoot how an abandoned park would look like.

Anyway.

[broken sigil]

oh it's not abandoned, it apparently opens in 4 days 🫣

[cursive crypt]

For real? lool

[broken sigil]

yes 😆

it's so damn creepy lol

the level of discomfort I'm at playing this level is at a solid 7/10 lol

[cursive crypt]

This is even worse. Sounds like a lazy developer just put a wheel in the middle of nowhere and called it a day.

By developer I meant the in-game company building the park.

[broken sigil]

[brittle holly]

Oh shiet that’s a pitcher lol

[broken sigil]

I might upload some short clips to YT because screenshots don't give it justice how good the atmosphere is

by good I mean creepy lol

[regal pecan]

Judging by the story of Alan Wake 1, everything is incredibly metaphysical.

[brittle holly]

[brittle holly]

Oh it’s in AW2?

[broken sigil]

yeah

[broken sigil]

[brittle holly]

That’s nice

[broken sigil]

the whole game is absolutely amazing

this one is proper horror, first one wasn't that creepy at all (well nowhere near as this)

[brittle holly]

[broken sigil]

AW2 is pretty much a proper horror game, and a good one at that

Not really even jumpscares, gore or blood everywhere, none of that, just a really good constantly creepy atmosphere

ChatGPT is a poor example of “AI” capabilities

For coding support? Copilot, I hear

I haven’t paid for it yet, ask BM and the others that use it here, they seemed to love it

[fluid bloom]

cursor ide has nice integration out of box, not sure what language model it uses though

but it can create stuff like json decoders with Elm 🤔

and do stuff in editor

I can't use any AI tools because my customer forbids their use 😦

[median wraith]

damnm the vegetation

[cursive crypt]

copilot is so-so, unsure whether I want to continue my subscr.

[brittle holly]

Still a better example than that hallucinating, lobotomized, sorry excuse of what’s left of an LLM, I bet 😀

[cursive crypt]

Not to mention it does not work in VS for me.

[brittle holly]

I’m not sure what you’re arguing for here

Trying to tell me ChatGPT is good? Cause I use that daily out of lack of better choice

So I can tell you for sure it’s become garbage

[median wraith]

I think that could be just a per vertex weight stored in textures just as did on staticmeshes animated

nope aren't skeletal meshes what I mean

[brittle holly]

Wdym then?

Cause SKM has skin weight painting

[median wraith]

I have said it already Static Meshes with stored vertex weight textures

I made a whole stadium of 11k characters that way

Have to request my ex client better screenshots tbh lmao

[zinc matrix]

🤣

[cursive crypt]

Maybe they did static meshes with vertex weights and few points around which the mesh transforms?

[median wraith]

That sound like what Crytek used todo idk how they do now tbh

but yeah idk if they really used this here or they actually made a middle tech between both things

because the textures I did had the animation inside the texture baked + another texture to get the center of each bone vector for each vertex

isn't like you just move randomly the points, you can also bake the vertex animations directly in one texture

but then you need to have the transform of each vertex on the texture it takes waay more

what you mean by VAT ¿?

well if you have a VAT, you are animating a staticmesh

I wasn't using skeletons

since you have the bones on a texture you can represent it ?

but that's why I said maybe they made a different tech idk

[cursive crypt]

What are you even both trying to figure out 🤔

It is a cake mesh.

artists can write their own shader
oh no 😱

[median wraith]

whatever I just named a thing I used todo, here they list tech artists to make the changes

idk what they did, just giving away ideas of what I did

[soft night]

[soft night]

on blender videos there is even use of some muscles too

[cursive crypt]

They said "write code", not draw spaghetti around.

[median wraith]

whatever Laura I don't talk about what I don't know so

[cursive crypt]

[median wraith]

Someone have account on Mastodon ? idk how this thing works ?

If you enter in social then is a different account from gamedev ?

[median wraith]

well in this case is kinda strange

https://tenor.com/view/alex-casey-alan-wake-2-alan-wake-thinking-confront-gif-10459316016211186973

[median wraith]

feels like if Reddit had a different account for each sub forum

So whats the gamedev one ?

[soft night]

blah@laura the ultimate?

[cursive crypt]

No. You can have multiple personas there easily. They are available for each subreddit (sub forum).

Ah, wait, I thought you talk about how is in Reddit.

[median wraith]

No, comparing mastodon logic to reddit

What about bluesky is the same thing ?

[cursive crypt]

I think most of these are too small communities.

[unborn lotus]

What about threads?

[cursive crypt]

That name is taken, should be banned in EU

I read about some issues with the name recently.

[median wraith]

didn't like threads because the EULA

on the instagram side

people don't even reply histories on instagram, idk the purpose of the other thing

[cursive crypt]

Instagram around is just more fancy variant of OnlyF

[soft night]

meta and threads is just sidecart of instagram

[median wraith]

that makes sense now, thats why people don't follow me

[unborn lotus]

I only follow bicycle stuff on instagram and I still get the scantily clad ladies

[cursive crypt]

Because there are round shapes in the bicycle.

[brittle holly]

Gotta love machine learning

[median wraith]

I did follow bicycle accounts too also food

and you get those ladies too

[median wraith]

and if you don't look at them at some point it will flood your search with those until you click one at least

oh bluesky need invitation

[empty dune]

How much is that in dollars?

[brittle holly]

28.6k… still not too bad

Maybe let’s try Venezuelan currency

[empty dune]

That's still a chonker

[empty dune]

The Weimar republic is right there you know

[brittle holly]

500k bolivar is $0.14 USD

[lofty lark]

is this a currency thing

[empty dune]

Wdym

[brittle holly]

Outside of Europe, yes

[lofty lark]

that comma placement

[empty dune]

Yes

Its generally a numbers thing

[brittle holly]

In Europe it’s all backwards

[empty dune]

Not just for currency

[brittle holly]

Dots instead of commas and commas instead of dots

[lofty lark]

well generally numbers put the comma every 3, no?

xyz,abc

[empty dune]

Yeah that's everywhere else I think, not India

[lofty lark]

but thats x,yz,abc

[brittle holly]

Oh right

[empty dune]

I don't like it

[brittle holly]

Idk where you got that from

[empty dune]

I prefer the comma after 3 digits

I don't like the Indian format

[lofty lark]

but those are mexican pesos so why does india matter

[brittle holly]

Yeah your Google is weird

[lofty lark]

or is that like indian formatting thing you mean

[empty dune]

Ye

[lofty lark]

ah gotcha

[empty dune]

Its because 100k is actually an unit in itself, its called a lakh. So 100k = 1L

That's why there's that weird comma placement

Yeah

Which is.... Uh, 10 million?

I think 10 million yeah

Welp no more Coca Cola in my country for now, a few days ago there were a bunch of cases of acid burns, acid poisoning at cafes, people ending in hospitals, etc...

Turns out acid somehow made its way into coca cola drinks

[empty dune]

That was relatively recent though, a better example would be myriad which was something stupidly high like 10^7 or 8,something like that

[empty dune]

You're in turkey? I saw turkey banned nestle and coca cola

[broken sigil]

Croatia

[empty dune]

Ah okay

[brittle holly]

I mean it already contains acidic stuff that ruins your teeth, someone just prly sat on the knob that turns up the concentration 😀

[empty dune]

My teeth feel rubbery after I drink coca cola

Apparently their manufacturing equipment wasn't properly washed from the disinfection and cleaning stuff they use

lmao same, ive seen food processing centers and honestly its just........ew

[cursive crypt]

iir it was phosphoric acid which draws out the calcium from your bones.

[empty dune]

i just dont think about it too much

[lofty lark]

"We passed inspection/audit, so its fine.'
"How...? Bribery?"

yep, bribery

atleast here

i dont look too closely at even restaurants

ive been in restaurant kitchens and even the higher tier ones have some shady shit going on

[lofty lark]

"My kitchen at home is more sanitary than this place"

[empty dune]

more like the front door

[broken sigil]

Yeah, welp at least coca cola tried to disinfect their stuff... Except they disinfected more than their equipment lol

[empty dune]

oh speaking of disinfection

apparently this happened

[celest musk]

reminds me of the shrimp salad i had which tasted like chlorine....

ofc our shrimp pools are clean...

[empty dune]

"of course a shrimp fried this rice"

"What do you mean shrimp in the fried rice? You monster!"

[broken sigil]

At least they disinfect their stuff... Except they disinfected more than just their equipment in this case lol

Gonna be a while for me to trust them again, even tho I barely ever drink coca cola, I prefer Cockta much more, plus has 0 caffeine

[lofty lark]

A step above the factory I worked at...

[celest musk]

i love how you guys discusse this while i had pizza with a coke

[broken sigil]

Oh yeah saw that too lol
I don't know how anyone though blasting unprotected UV light was a good idea

[empty dune]

just dont think about it too much. and dont grind your teeth

[empty dune]

i wonder how they got their hands on medical grade UV lights to begin with

[lofty lark]

"Shouldn't we like, sanitize this shit every shutdown?"
"Nah, we only have to do that every other. Just wipe it down with a rag."
And we scored the highest on our audits out of all other sibling factories 🙂

[broken sigil]

Just ignore the feeling of your throat and stomach being burnt by acid

[celest musk]

even my pizza had fungi on it 😦 🙂

[empty dune]

sounds about right lmao

[timber viper]

I dont drink coke because it tastes disgusting

[celest musk]

it goes well with fast food tho

[timber viper]

but it doesnt burn my throat if I drink 3 cups in a row

[celest musk]

the acid dissolves the food xD

[lofty lark]

soda makes my tummy very upset

[timber viper]

ice tea or sprite is my preference but if coke is only option I can live with it

[broken sigil]

I love Cockta, tho I don't drink it often either

[lofty lark]

tea all the way

[empty dune]

"Dont we have to rinse the rag each wipe?"

"Nah, audit states every second wipe, its fine"

[empty dune]

i like sprite as well

[broken sigil]

Is cockta even a thing outside EU?

Legit not sure

[timber viper]

never heard of it

meanwhile topic is coke.. anyone knows what is the thing they put on top of the coke here?
https://vxtwitter.com/STEMbySum/status/1722063594227937749?s=20

[empty dune]

well, that coke definitely took care of that problem

[broken sigil]

It's ingredients also at least sound much better than other drinks.... Except the sugar

But no caffeine is a big plus alone for me

[timber viper]

wth is a dog rose hip

I aint drink dogs!!

[empty dune]

why are you guys drinking dogs??

[timber viper]

damn, it doesnt exist in Turkey

[broken sigil]

I know it by an entirely different name that I don't know how to translate to English lol

[empty dune]

neither does coca cola and nestle anymore

apparently it got banned in turkey

[timber viper]

lies

i just saw them on market

pringles is not selling at turkey anymore though

since no one can afford it

[broken sigil]

@timber viper

[empty dune]

pringles is stupidly expensive for no good reason

[brittle holly]

So basically Turkey is getting a healthy diet

[timber viper]

idk about other countries, but in Turkey its the best you can eat

its so fucking tasty

[empty dune]

and it only ever sells in airports where you have no other option

[timber viper]

lets see which one is better

i will bug them with bp2cpp

[broken sigil]

Gonna compare it with Riders ai when I get home

[empty dune]

i mean the ban happened today but yeah maybe the article i read was wrong

[lofty lark]

"Hey we need you to clean this machine."
"I'm not qualified. The head of sanitation told you this the last 3 times you tried to have me clean it."
"Yeah but she's not here today so you're fine."
"I'm not qualified. I can't clean it."
"Do it."
"Okay but I ain't gonna sign off on it being clean because I'm not qualified." (broke college kid can't afford losing a day of pay)
...couple hours later after I "cleaned" it...
"Hey need you to sign off that this is clean."
"Can't, not qualified."

Conversation between me and one of my managers at the factory 🙂 And when I went to his superior and told her what was going on she just

[empty dune]

and then they fired you

right?

thats how it usually ends

[timber viper]

I know why you read that wrong article

[empty dune]

why

[broken sigil]

I knew it was coming as soon as they added that introduction tab the other day

Feel like they were experimenting how to do custom windows and tabs lol

[lofty lark]

I was too valuable to be fired Only part timer to be trained in more than one department - I was trained in 3, and one of which I was the only part-timer in the plant trained to do it :p

They didn't stop trying to get people to do shit they weren't qualified for tho

[timber viper]

there is a common misunderstanding in Turkey around people who vote for Erdogan. Back at 2005-2010 days there was an ongoing misinformation campaign that some weird cult were trying to convince people Coca Cola and Nestle products are made of rat bloods, they are funding Israel to kill people at Gaza etc. and this did hurt both companies significantly. Later on they came back 10x powerful with an insane marketing campaign that they integrated everything into Turkish culture

but the first misinformation campaign was so effective that still millions of dumb people still believe the fact rat blood is used and Israel is single handedly being funded by Coca Cola so everywhere is full of fake news like "turkey banned coca cola to help Palestine" etc

[timber viper]

forgot to tag

[brittle holly]

Ah, your very own reverse Kool-Aid cult

[empty dune]

lmao what in the real world fan fiction

[timber viper]

we have a city mayor

made a deal with coca cola

around 2.5 millions of USD

[empty dune]

dayum

thats good

[timber viper]

this happened last year, now after current Israel and Palestine situation dude decided to burn all the cokes

believes this will hurt Israel

he also encourages people to buy Coca Cola and burn it too, somehow this will end up affecting Israel too

[brittle holly]

Prly has a stake in Coke

[timber viper]

coca cola has one of the most valueable shares today xD

[brittle holly]

Buy it all and burn it, and then buy some more! 🤑

i have a zealot and veteran at level 30

working on ogryn and psyker

[lofty lark]

Did you play before the class overhaul?

Leveling characters was atrocious

[empty dune]

i did not

i was waiting for the class overhaul

[lofty lark]

Class overhaul is sooooooooooooo good

Did oyu know

[empty dune]

ikr

whats your main

[lofty lark]

resources were NOT shared between characters before the overhaul

Psyker

Been playing alotta zealot tho

[fleet tangle]

But why would you play that trash game?

[lofty lark]

bc I can solo dhosts on damnation 😛

[empty dune]

its good now!

[lofty lark]

Why would you open your mouth

[empty dune]

they fixed most of the garbage about that game

last month

the crafting is still eh

[fleet tangle]

Because my opinion must be heard. By all.

[empty dune]

but the rest are good

[lofty lark]

im sorry daekesh that felt like it came out much more rude than bantery

[empty dune]

why would you fight daemonhosts to begin with though

[lofty lark]

Tis the truth of the one who bears the blue robes and wizard hat

[fleet tangle]

If it takes a yaer for the game to be fixed and not trash, I'm not sure why you'd play it for that first year.

Or was it 2 years?

[empty dune]

yeah i know, this new system is so much better

[lofty lark]

Why would I let a spawn of chaos, a deamon, a plague, corrupt this land?

[brittle holly]

I mean not that I really enjoyed No Man Sky even after but some people said it was worth it

[lofty lark]

I fight for the Imperium god dammit.

No foul creature is spared from my Holy Judgement

[empty dune]

it took them 1 year to fix the game but now its genuinely fun

[fleet tangle]

There are many warhammer games!

[brittle holly]

Like total war 😀

[empty dune]

and this one is hands down the best right now

[fleet tangle]

Still not buying it. The pre-release demo thing made me think the company has no idea what they're doing.

[empty dune]

i mean its on game pass

[lofty lark]

And again, I can solo it on damnation consistently 😛 the only way I don't is if mutie or trapper or hound shows up and none of my 3 team mates can hit the broadside of a barn

[empty dune]

so you dont even have to buy it to play lol

[fleet tangle]

"Hi, we're releasing this demo of our amazing fps game... but hold up, we don't have some key fps game features like the ability to rebind keys and our ui is total ass"

[empty dune]

thats sadly most AAA games right now, it is what it is

you just wait for them to fix the game after launch

[fleet tangle]

Nope. Talos Principle 2 released and I could rebind my keys and had a thoroughly fantastic experience beginning to end. Not a single bug.

[empty dune]

talos principle 2 is not AAA

[fleet tangle]

So is!

[empty dune]

the first was an indie

second is at best AA

[fleet tangle]

This isn't the first.

Maybe not AAA. But definitely top tier.

[brittle holly]

KSP 1 made by one guy, KSP2 AA I think

[lofty lark]

Idk what it was like on release, I just saw it was on gamepass a couple months ago. Was in a good state by then. A downgrade from VT2 tho in quite a few areas sadly. But the actually moment to moment gameplay felt great - everything else was just meh

[fleet tangle]

KSP2 full of bugs.

Go figure.

[brittle holly]

It’s not even an alpha at this stage

[empty dune]

oh yeah im not talking about quality, just the budget

[brittle holly]

How do you go back on what you’ve achieved so far

[fleet tangle]

It's called a "cash grab"

Unfinished game -> popular IP -> lololololol early access $$$$$$$

[brittle holly]

https://tenor.com/view/do-you-guys-not-have-a-phone-blizzard-diablo-gif-5097388828827651695

[lofty lark]

dumbass consumers are the reason this works year after year ;-;

[brittle holly]

Early Access = crowdfund our development

[empty dune]

ksp2 is so bad its not even funny

[brittle holly]

And then they ask almost full price for it 😂

[empty dune]

it promised so much

didnt deliver even 10%

[empty dune]

yeah its outrageous

[brittle holly]

I like how the reviews are just give it 2-3 years before you buy

[empty dune]

and that was 2 years ago

when did it release? 2022 beginning i think

[lofty lark]

speaking of cash grab, have yall seen Ark: Surival Ascended?

[empty dune]

oh yes

[lofty lark]

It's Ark but UE5

So it's got lumen

$50 plz

[brittle holly]

Feb 2023 so almost a year now

[empty dune]

ah right

[empty dune]

its got some nice QoL

but thats not worth 50$

[lofty lark]

It seems like such a weird move tho with Ark 2 coming out next year...

[empty dune]

and the fact they shutdown ark survival evolved

is just a really really shitty move

[lofty lark]

I did not know this

wtf

Like, just official servers right?

[fleet tangle]

Nope. And never will. Ark 1 was fucking terrible lol.

[empty dune]

ark 2 is apparently very different from ark 1. thats why

[empty dune]

yeah but even that is a lot

[lofty lark]

Don't worry. It's literally Ark 1 but UE5.

It's not a new game. Just a visual overhaul and some QoL changes

[empty dune]

yeah

its just better graphics

and no progress/purchase carryover

[lofty lark]

But why invest the time and resources in making your old game pretty within a year of releasing your new one?

[empty dune]

because ark 2 is very different and they expect itll be a totally different crowd that will play it

thats what they said idk

[lofty lark]

They are self publishing if I'm not mistaken

[empty dune]

yeah

[lofty lark]

So I don't imagine they have a ton of resources to throw around...

[empty dune]

they have tencent, no?

pretty sure they had a deal

[brittle holly]

I saw that piratesoftware guy on YouTube talking about DawnGate

[empty dune]

ark makes stupid amounts of money though

[brittle holly]

Apparently a MOBA that tied player behaviour to the grind ratio so everyone was nice and not toxic, but then EA killed it ofc^

[broken sigil]

😂

[lofty lark]

And they got Vin Diesel in Ark 2 so it's gonna make even more

They got a celebrity

every exec knows adding a random celeb brings in more money

[brittle holly]

So does ScamCitizen

[empty dune]

im a scamcitizen!

[brittle holly]

I feel bad for you

[empty dune]

i bought a starter pack earlier this year lmao

[brittle holly]

I was going to buy it a few years back and then I read how they’re charging people 30k for a jpeg of a ship that may or may not ever make it to production

[empty dune]

it did make it into production, but after like a few years lmao

it was insane

i mainly bought it for the lol factor

[brittle holly]

Some never did I think

You bought the 30k jpeg ?😱

[empty dune]

i had some extra cash, didnt want to burn it as it was summer

[empty dune]

no jesus christ no

[brittle holly]

Lol

Hahaha

[empty dune]

i bought a tiny 40$ pack

[brittle holly]

“Had some extra cash I didn’t wanna burn so I bought a $30,000 jpeg”

[broken sigil]

Don't they have some ships going for like 100k lmao

[empty dune]

thats an nft bro, im not an nft bro

[brittle holly]

Idk I stopped tracking its progress shortly after I started

[lofty lark]

yeah, rain wouldn't be able to read our chats if they were an nft bro

[empty dune]

it came with a nice little ship. even has its own bed and kitchen!

[brittle holly]

Oh, nice

That’s better than Starfield ig

[empty dune]

the kitchen actually works

there's no point to it

because the starvation and thirst debuffs are tiny

[brittle holly]

Now you know why it took them over a decade to get this far

[empty dune]

but yeah atleast it works

[empty dune]

yep, i know lol. ive been following scam citizen since the moment they started

[brittle holly]

We don’t have a working game but we have a working kitchen! 😁

[empty dune]

[cold agate]

what is the quickest way to crash ue5

asking for a friend

[brittle holly]

Alt+F4

[cold agate]

I said crash

[brittle holly]

Technically a crash

Achieves the same result

You go back to desktop

Congratulations

Ugh fine , if we’re being pedantic 🙃

[empty dune]

crash is a fatal error, alt f4 is a clean shutdown

not the same

[fleet tangle]

It seems you attract the pedants.

[fleet tangle]

It's just a help server.

[empty dune]

"Stop the reactor"

reactor blows up

"Done sir"

[brittle holly]

Damn you! 😀

[cold agate]

TECHNICALLY it's been stopped

I wonder how barebones 4.1 was

Like the very first ue4 version

[fleet tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/theyre-exactly-the-same-neil-degrasse-tyson-startalk-they-are-very-similar-they-are-alike-gif-21987439

[fleet tangle]

That would be 4.0

If you don't count the rocket beta.

[empty dune]

whats the rocket beta

[brittle holly]

So like EA’s 2 weeks before launch betas

[empty dune]

so like, the beta exploded its reactor instead of shutting it down?

[fleet tangle]

It's the beta... of UE4...

Well the last stage of said beta. maybe there was a beta before that. Probably an alpha.

Apparently Tim started writing UE4 before UE3 was even released. Shrug

[brittle holly]

He’s currently writing UE6

[empty dune]

im curious, how much of ue still has code written personally by tim?

[cold agate]

What was different

[fleet tangle]

UE5? Probably none.

[brittle holly]

At that level you become a businessman, no time to code

[empty dune]

what about ue4

ah okay

interesting

[fleet tangle]

I wonder how much of the code base is even still the same.

[fleet tangle]

The version number? A lot of things. Check the last 10 years of patch notes.

[cold agate]

The only difference is that it has bread physics

[cold agate]

Sure once my 715 packages are done

[brittle holly]

[errant raven]

My brother is stuck in a delusion that assassins creed Valhalla is a good game

What do i do

[timber viper]

its not bad

it was nice during pandemic days

[cursive crypt]

It is awful for some reason.

I don't know why, but I really dislike the AssCreed locomotion system.

Anyway, bro is playing all them AC games. He said Valhalla is the worst.

[timber viper]

I dislike anything after black flag, but somehow valhalla found its way to convince me to play like 6-7 hours

[errant raven]

I played odyssey

It was a fucking joke

[timber viper]

i gave up on that after the level gap between me and next quest is huge and there are no side quests to level up further

[errant raven]

Have level 5 gear at the beginning of the game, everyone else has higher rated gear and takes too long to kill

[timber viper]

game didnt want me to play

[errant raven]

My brother is really high level in odyssey, samebwith gear and everything

Still takes him 5 minutes to kill basic enemies

Kinda feels like ubisoft wanted some darksouls essence in their games

Albeit implemented very poorly

[timber viper]

i think idea was having witcher

[brittle holly]

Valhalla is still prly better than whatever this mirage thing is

But it was way too drawn out

[errant raven]

I was playing on hardest difficulty, only died about 12 times in my 20 hour fiasco. 8 of which was during the first war thing between Athens and Spartans before you get the MCs father's helmet

My brothers reasoning for buying Valhalla this time was actually a pretty good reason tho

"Because it was on sale for 5 dollars"

[brittle holly]

“It has Vikings”

[errant raven]

A 200 hour game with more game after 200 hours for 5 dollars isnt bad

Not sure if it was actually 5 bucks

[brittle holly]

I didn’t mind it that much but I had to put it down and come back to it later to finish it and the ending was very anticlimactic, should’ve ended like a whole region prior

[errant raven]

He bought our sisters Nintendo switch just to sell it a few days later of never playing it

Pissed her off

The Egyptian one wasnt bad, it actually had a good story for the origins of the creed. If I remember correctly

You only meet like one assassin in odyssey, I think??

[errant raven]

I only play indie games now

[cursive crypt]

How you can be butthurt over that - I dunno. Once upon time it was much more frequent to see such stuff. And it worked. Made by small teams.

[brittle holly]

That game is yet another example of progressing backwards from the previous iteration

[errant raven]

Disney movies use game engines to render their movies dont they

Same with other animated films

[fleet tangle]

They probably have their own internal engines.

Some things are done in game engines, though.

Lots of stuff uses UE.

We need banjo kazooie HD remake

[brittle holly]

Is this a Good game to Good game with “that kind of graphics” 🙃 vs Shit game to Shit game kind of modding?

[errant raven]

Cs2 isnt that bad

[brittle holly]

I mean it’s not a 2.0 iteration, it’s a smoke particle reskin

[errant raven]

Didnt the weapon sounds change

Again

I still miss the older sounds

The lighting is different too

[brittle holly]

Idk, I played it for like 30mins until I realized it’s just as toxic as ever, uninstalled

[errant raven]

Just get good and shit on them

It's the skilless silvers that are toxic

And novas

Low level faceit too

Sad thing is, you cant play in casual when you get to double ak+ ranks. Otherwise youd just shit on everyone and get mass reported. Unless you play casual with a bunch of friends

ahhh 20 years of uisng the web, and we're still using that joke

[errant raven]

Ubisoft has a literal "make game" button. It's just ctrl+c and ctrl+v

[zinc matrix]

Anyone know a really, really good solo dev game, but have like 100-200k revenue

[queen isle]

If i were to make a mmo. I'd copy Tarkov's mechanics.
Open world PVP. All raids/dugeons can be invaded by antoher team/guild

[errant raven]

Five nights at freddys

Undertale

[zinc matrix]

You rather make Rust.

Or Albion Online.

[zinc matrix]

Nah that't 50 millions dollar kind of game already

[queen isle]

I've been told multiple times by pvp mmo players that pve players would love a pvp game if it was made good!

[errant raven]

You didn't specify

@sand oxide what does "Fatal error in GC: VirtualAlloc remapping failed" mean?

[unreal ether]

ah yes, those pvp players, experts on knowing what people in the opposite of their preferred genre like

i don't care how well the pvp is made, i ain't touching it, especially if it's tarkov mechanics :P

[errant raven]

Tarkov is garbage

I dont see how people actually like playing the game

[brittle holly]

They like the “realism” apparently

[errant raven]

The argument for "realistic" falls short of realism

[unreal ether]

in this hypothetical mmo i just want to enjoy my raids and shit, not get dunked on by a cheater and lose all my progress

[zinc matrix]

Why did you said that to me? I mean none of that stuff?

[queen isle]

Sorry I'm just doing a bit. I don't like tarkov either

[unreal ether]

phew

[zinc matrix]

I am a PvE enjoyer, sometimes PvE just too easy for me so i normally play PvP

[unreal ether]

the ease is why i like pve tbh

[errant raven]

You know what had fun pvp

[unreal ether]

the downside is repetitveness

[errant raven]

Gears of war 2

[unreal ether]

can't say as i played the pvp in that

[errant raven]

Amazing multiplayer experiences

[zinc matrix]

Yeah that's what i mean, easy and repetitive

If only we have really good AIs in the future..

[queen isle]

how can a game be fair if you (as a experienced player) are allowed to bring in better weapons than newbies?
Sounds like a snowball effect

[zinc matrix]

Fighting deep-learning Malenia!

[zinc matrix]

Rust does reset the server every single week, so that solve your problem

Very fair game!

[unreal ether]

pvp is one of those where it's just an all around feel bad experience. I don't want my game to feel like a chore of skill improvement, because there will always be someone better than me/cheating.
especially in games like tarkov or rust, where such a thing results in huge losses and time setbacks.

[zinc matrix]

Rust suck.

But the idea of that game is really, really good.

[fleet tangle]

I can't imagine gears of war being fun in any way, shape or form.

[unreal ether]

i used to really enjoy a rust pve server, they had custom events and landmarks n stuff and it was pretty fun

[fleet tangle]

Rust was all about the pvp!

[unreal ether]

it was nice to work together with randoms to tackle something like the cargo ship while being severely underequipped

and other fun stuff like minicopter racing

[brittle holly]

Is it even legal for them to have that name, given the absurdities the programming language people have been claiming?

[broken sigil]

I loved Rust PVP, I was quite good at it but playing solo survival was pain
So the last time I played, I did pvp arenas

[unreal ether]

again the only issue was, because it only had the forced wipe, that it got very very repetitive

[fleet tangle]

Wasn't Rust-the-game out before Rust-the-language?

[zinc matrix]

The biggest problem with Rust is the huge learning curve of aiming. Not like everyone can train and aim like a Valorant pro player. But the gameplay is forcing you to do that, and that is the only way to beat other players and have fun, it's just a horrible design to a MMO

[brittle holly]

Maybe, but I wouldn’t put it past them

[unreal ether]

the first time i played rust pvp was with a friend, and we had 2 days at the start of the wipe and we had a nice little stone base, some researched items, and a couple of guns, and then we woke up and had been slaughtered by a large clan who had already gotten rockets and shit.

[fleet tangle]

What have they been claiming?

[brittle holly]

You can’t use the word rust and shit

[fleet tangle]

Well that's retarded.

[errant raven]

And that means

[fleet tangle]

They aren't misaligned, luckily.

They're just badly laid out.

It's like looking at a spreadsheet.

[brittle holly]

Ah I c it now it’s like 1-3 numbers per cell

[broken sigil]

Those stats trigger me on a spiritual level 😆

the UI

Tiny text, misaligned numbers, numbers everywhere, random colors

Every other number is different size

[versed vector]

yeah that is pretty damned messy

[lofty lark]

You can thank the modder that added it

[celest musk]

are those all player nicks?

[slim atlas]

What am I gonna do with my life

[celest musk]

3 seem like NPC names and then there's BlubberbooHairCare

[broken sigil]

panic and sleep, works every time, 9/10 doctors recommend

[slim atlas]

Sigh

[celest musk]

you have a life?

happy you then

[broken sigil]

😆

[fleet tangle]

The colours aren't random. The orange ones are the ones where he was best.

But, yeah, this is more like Eve Online stock market than a fucking fps game.

[broken sigil]

Ok you got a point... the UI still sucks tho 😛

[lofty lark]

yes

[brittle holly]

Vazu did you make that game? before we continue to thrash on it 😄

[lofty lark]

Pfft I wish I could make a game like Darktide myself

And I didn't make the mod that adds the scoreboard either :p

so thrash it to your hearts content

ngl @broken sigil Idris kinda sounds like Donald Trump in that Choke Hold song "they don't, they don't wanna see me at night" 😄

[broken sigil]

🤣

[brittle holly]

I can only picture the hand movements

[cold agate]

Wrong chat mb

[cursive crypt]

We are not wrong here.

Most of it is on the parents. I think there is also a social pressure too.

At some point kiddo gonna play with that phone in a secret.

Illegal phone dealers roaming after the dark near school 🤔

Mostly parenting tho. Been years since I first heard of that.

Ex was kindergarten teacher. Most easy way to get the toddler out of their back was to shove a phone in its face.

Last part was wrt to the parents btw, not the teachers, lol.

f, I just read that if you eat a 5 days old meal like fried rice or pasta, you may die.

a 20-year-old student in Belgium who died suddenly in 2008 after eating leftover spaghetti with tomato sauce, which he had cooked five days prior and left on the kitchen counter at room temperature instead of storing it in the refrigerator.

[fleet tangle]

Oh dear.

I think that pretty much goes for any food...

[versed vector]

yeah stuff will start to rot at 5 days

prob. not a good idea to eat it

[cursive crypt]

Well, I suppose it was not looking green and hairy.

[fleet tangle]

Says you.

This is obviously a guy who has no idea about real life or was literally too poor to eat a meal which wasn't 5 days old.

[cursive crypt]

I hope ppl can recognize mold when they see it.

[versed vector]

the invisible bacteria can be even more dangerous

they'd be cooking up a storm in that pasta sauce at 5 days, it can't have tasted normal

[cursive crypt]

You add ketchup to anything and it tastes the same.

[fleet tangle]

Not everyone, apparently.

[versed vector]

that's probably what happened

[fleet tangle]

Some people are so protected by their parents or just oblivious that they don't know about mold.

[cursive crypt]

It is regular here, if you see, say, a jam with mold on it, you just scoop it out and eat the rest.
I think what you see actually is just the tip of the iceberg. Fungus are much further down the jar.

[unborn lotus]

Like tomato sauce, mold appearing is normal 😆

[versed vector]

probably yeah, though I'd guess in the case of jam most of the stuff below is protected form air exposure

[fleet tangle]

Mold doesn't actually grow in jam. It grows in the contaminants. So you are pretty safe scooping out the mold and eating the rest.

[versed vector]

also, people's ability to handle some mildly toxic mold and bacteria varies widely

[fleet tangle]

Especially if their parents have been keeping them in a clean environment.

[cursive crypt]

I kinda doubt that, tho in practice I haven't heard for this causing an issue.

[fleet tangle]

Experts on the show explained that jams can go mouldy very easily because many of the options on supermarket shelves today have reduced sugar content. But they add that scooping off any mould and consuming what's underneath is completely safe to do, so long as any mouldy parts are completely gone.

So reduced sugar jam is great!

I'd still only eat it if it was only a bit of mold.

If it's significant, it's in the bin.

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, if there is still some water or so inside or the fungus release their byproducts it might be still bad.

[versed vector]

if you die from it then just don't do it again

[fleet tangle]

What are the headings of columns 2 and 3?

[cursive crypt]

Food | Handling | Reason

I think these are just generic, better-be-safe-than-sorry guidelines in general.

[fleet tangle]

Yeah.

Honestly I always have another jar of jam I haven't opened because I don't have it very often.

So I generally don't risk it.

[cursive crypt]

Me too, lol. They sometimes stay for months in the refrigerator.

[fleet tangle]

I don't even keep them in the fridge.

[cursive crypt]

iirc, if there is over 70% sugar in it, it is basically conserved (assumed it was sterilized before).
Edit: 60% -> 70%

Aah, the great turkey extinction is around the corner it seems. 🐦

[fleet tangle]

Poor Eren. We'll miss him.

[cursive crypt]

He now lives in turkiye iirc

[regal pecan]

Thanks to the name change, no one will be accidentally eating Turkiye.

Cause that was utter garbage

[fleet tangle]

Beta.

[empty dune]

Patch 13 is such a massive boost in almost every way
