gah single monitor life sucks
It does.
I had this flash 34" Samsung flat panel and it had to go and get faded pixels
Im hoping the ETA on my new monitor being in stock is correct, then I can be back to dual monitor life next week
Yeah it's a great game
Unlike chess
Chess.com is full of soy boy cuckold sore losers
Plays 20 inaccuracies, mistakes, blunders in a row, in a loss position, takes 3 minutes to make next turn, suddenly plays top move in a row until they somehow win
Seems legit
Sounds like skill issue tbh
meshes clipping, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Is that the roof top before the Oceanview? I saw some railing thats not lined up properly up there too
for the oceanview hotel, don't tell me, I'll figure it out π
The game is absolutely amazing
Get the shotgun π
yeah took me a bit of searching but it was super simple i slapped myself when i saw it
I missed a heap of the words of power I think, hope it doesnt hurt me too much
oof
you can get them
before you reach the point of no return
im missing 7 achievements
"XP earned" - the meta gaming
Next: levels and classes
This actually reminds me of the old Sierra games.
classes would be interesting tbh based on which type of gamer you are
I have 4 whole games with Epic achievements
I found it π
literally poking me in the face
that bad boy is severely hurting my inventory π
haha yeah
need to saw it off
getting the shining vibes here lol
You should be able to fit most of the other gadgets under the barrel.
How big are the torch batteries
Put them in the barrels. Shock rifle done.
or you could put the flares in there
oh this area is 100% setting me up for some boss fight
Is it a zombie game?
you have some zombie like enemies tho not really zombies
The best I can descibe AW2 is a psychological, survival horror thriller lol
oh screw you game....
Ah, I think that's more precise name for the genre. A device removal game.
I'm playing russian roulette whenever I alt tab
π
It looks like youβre in a love/hate relationship with it
Maybe use your phone for discord tho so you donβt have to tab out
I don't have any context but I assume you're playing a source game?
alan wake 2
Northlight Engine
ah lol nvm then
I love absolutely everything about it, except when it randomly crashes when I alt tab π
I didn't know what AW2 was referring to at first and when I googled, "advanced wars 2" came up lmao
Lol
I just assumed it was an emulation thing
I have to make sure enough time has passed since my last playthrough, cause Iβll pry start a new game
Gotta bring that marginal utility level back up π
I'll do another full playthrough once I finish alan wake
Cyberpunk is too good to play it just once
βͺ
this is what people mean by AI taking over our jobs. Now you can get ghosted by LLMs!
Lol
You don't need an LLM for that
Just send me a DM
listen i already got tricked by vazu once, not falling for this again
BM is lonely cuz Deja been ghostin π
just wait for the new supers
The margins grow bigger and bigger.
Shame the new 4080 super is still only 16gb
Knowing Nvidia its probably not even 16, more like 13gb π
I think it will be cool to have gpu lootboxes. Chance of RAM buff .01%, overclocked CPU 0.5%.
Can be less too.
reminds me of ragnarok online. people be spending billions of zeny for a 5% speed buff
Im waiting for my turn for the car distribution system
At these prices might as well get a quadro for the extra vram
If what Im hearing is true Im going to be upgrading to AM5 before I buy a new GPU
Is the benchmark the only thing I can run on an M3?
As far as Im aware the release candidates for the 8950 match M3 on single core and do better in multicore
Im actually quite surprised at everyone buying intel 14000s tbh, they go good in nitrogen but remind me of typical old Intel refreshes of the past
hey guys we printed a new number on the lid
Then the cat treats others like trash, maybe there is a relation
You still need more ?
How are we meant to run Hevedy Engine with only 16gb
Need atleast 32gb for the fully dynamic volumetric lighting and shadowing pipeline
I mean you need x100 4k textures on screen for 3gb right
you wouldnt store the textures uncompressed, would be DXT or something
could be worst I using the compresion +-
Well I have 12 and i cant even run two UE5's π
One 4k substance painter project + 3dsmax fills it
the hell
this is why you need an A6000
48gb of vrammy goodness
my marriage can only afford one
technically it's the "rtx 6000 ada" now, and it's costs even more than the a6000
ahh is that what theyre calling all those cards they can no longer sell in china
The A* pathfinding algorithm is fucking fun to play with
Made a little pacman-esque thing with pygame and gave the ghosts the A* algorithm. Doesnt matter if I make them slow or not the algorithm is too good
Arent the ghosts supposed to be faster than pacman tho

my code doesnt work and I really dont understand why
its probably something stupid that I'm missing, but its literally blocking me from doing anything else
Your code is broken thats why it doesnt work
welcome to the world of software development
Blocking problems are the worst tbh
no u
its just supposed to randomly pick tiles till it finds one that is a floor, and then set that location in a variable. But for some reason its rejecting actual floors and putting it somewhere it shouldnt
maybe if you try to code the opposite you'll end up with a working solution?!
occasionally it puts it on a floor, but usually not. it makes NO sense why it aint working
oh it does... trust me
Next its gonna work and you're still not gonna know why
you just don't understand it now
time to spend some time on debug tools instead of the algo
My shitty pacman clone is coming together
I have it showing me in engine which tiles its checking, and I see that it tests valid floor positions, and then moves on
I really really really should've made pacman a class, I am suffering now from not doing so
wwait a min.... I have it draw a debug cone on the tiles it checks.... and its not showing up on the tile its deciding is the starting position... wtf
Ifixit
That was the guy who ranted recently about how much PC HW vendors gouge the prices.
ryobg on oktober videos he build the skunkworks pc build
lol
he went from amd those ryzen x3d gpu to intel 14th gen on the latest build
the ifixt channel is latest video what saw is about apple m3
Frankly, I don't watch his stuff, just the feed recommended the one about the industry.
I have this spline based mesh that apparently doesn't have a bottom
any ideas on how to deal with it?
No bottom? Sexy.
;-;
Try search about that on internet. Might be your mat is one sided, mesh inverted, etc.
the mesh only has one side
And in general #graphics #ue5-general if you want to rise your chances.
sadly
Ah, it seems touching raw opengl has brought some fruits.
what you all do today ?
Learning C++.
This makes me think of candies.
I figured out how to bring 3d models into ipad procreate and am texturing on the couch
you got 3d models on your ipad to procreate? dirty, but niice
Yes, gonna sell their offspring and be rich
the most relaxing way, hacked the matrix
wait, didn't you know already ?
I know few things, but the beauty of it is that you can always learn more about it.

wanted to go for a walk, but seems like streets are took by people and police
there is everywhere on the news so
nothing fresh
breaking news deerfest its on
deerfest π π¦ π»
The Finnish lighting company Airam and Remedy Entertainment have worked together to create a unique Oh Deer Diner thermos bottle. This collaboration combines Finnish design, storytelling, and everyday quality. The Oh Deer Diner thermos, as part of the launch of Alan Wake 2, is the first time Airamβs classic thermos collaborates with another bran...
Deer Diner is a location from the game?
damm, that's a deerp interview
oh deer
This reminds me of Matt Damon for some reason.
Didnt realize how relatively cheap GPUs are in 2023
But honestly CPU is way more important should upgrade that first
I used to have a GTX 1050TI which was good for the time but the CPU made the games unplayable. Like I would get 150FPS and then suddenly get frame drops to 10FPS
^
is it just me or super emojis are not limited now?
they aren't 
opened IDE, stared for 2 hours at it, wrote 2 full lines
can relate, though I had a kind soul steer me in the right direction so I actually made some progress with this damned niagara fluid today
really? mine's asking me to sign up for a 2 week trial
huh weird, yeah I got a notification that I got unlimited super reactions
tho you need any nitro sub
oh, well isn't that paid?
yeah, I got the basic one, like 2$ or something
Previously even with nitro you would get like 2 super reacts a week
makes sense, I don't have one, so I was just getting those 5/month, Discord be pushing the free sample like a drug dealer
yeah
I still don't get why super reacts are a thing and why they are a paid lol
like in the last 3 months or so I was getting 5 free super reactions per month
a nitro sub
true
yeah well maybe they read my messages and realized I'm poor π
speaking of hooked, I'm about to pull the trigger on PL, tho I wonder if there'll be a black friday sale on it
yea wait
Nein erm no, I meant Cp2077
you might get both for the price of the standalone game or smth
I have the standalone
i would still wait
that's gonna take a while
but the game with dlc is worth the $60
it's not Activision or Ubisoft but still, they know what they have
if we take something like cinema movies as reference
I would expect either black friday or some Christmas deals
they already sold 3 million (probably way more by now) copies for $30...
hilarious that I always forget my bday coincides with black friday here π
haha
i think they can "afford" a discount on black friday
tbh, I only played Witcher 3, tried it twice, could not finish it either time
tbf 30$ for PL is very reasonable, it could literally be a standalone game how good it is, plus PL alone is about 23 hours long (including all side content)
and I've played all the Skyrim side quests, so π€·
that's why it got so fricking cold recently....
Ik, that's the thing too. I don't have much $ now and I usually wait for a sale, but this is the first "game" in like 2 years that I've considered worth its price
and also kinda bored of replaying previous games
Christmas and the rest is close and I would expect some sales, so might be worth it to wait
black friday is around the corner?!
you can still pay the full price if there's no discount π
yeah, 12 days π
I'm not helping am I π
been fighting that millennial instant gratification impulse for about a week now tbh π
@restive granite you going to Japan?
Yes sir, checking in soon
No, im broke
Just gonna stay around tokyo
And possibly visit cat caffe
But last time the cat caffe was crowded as hell
because: cats
crowded by cats?
The cats cute as f tho. Just wish they didnt give me cold shoulder
so no buying out Nintendo while you're there?
Nah, i think i only have enough for food and train tickets
I mean if I were a cat and had that many strangers trying to pet me every day, I'd prly be giving you the cold shoulder too π
Japans electronic place is overrated
would love to visit Japan one day π₯²
oh no i meant purchasing the company :P
give us what we really want once you get it, Mario Maker 3 :P
me too honestly. I've always been fascinated by their traditional architecture.
Structures of that size with just pure joinery is some feat
Last time i went was almost a decade ago , so not sure what to expect
Laura and Vazu were giving Japan travel advice not too long ago
I wanna visit their traditional stuff, the temples
yeah that's my main want as well
hey fellas does anyone have experience with making 6DOF controls for boomers?
on a dual stick gamepad
if I ever get myself to go to Japan π₯²
heh sorry degrees of freedom in that case
ez
i'm in the unfortunate position where mostly boomers will be playing this
just playtested with my mom, she did not handle things well π
I can pay for the trip, my issue is my debilitating anxiety 
cosplay? π
are you making games for the next generation of care home inhabitants? π
π
essentially, yeah. it's for an art show
so you know, affluent 50+ year olds mostly
Psychology is such a fucking scam
inb4 that's gen x
I have to write a critique essay for an English course and we had to pick a source article
All the articles were shit so I picked something that was loosely related to psychology, some pop science BBC crap
and also because I like-d psychology
As part of the assignment, I have read multiple research papers and studies from start to finish and I can confidently say that the majority of this practice is an absolute scam
It doesn't help anybody in any way
wait ponkkis is that actually you in the pfp
Oh
I thought you were a teenager
do you take steroids?
for calling you yoked? i'm confused
he's taking the piss π
i know lol
need to be real ears π
don't
Wdym?
@regal pecan if you really try to explain "don't" then i can't help you
either you trivialize it or you train players to enjoy it
pick your poison
I could use some nice postfix awaits now
@sand oxide btw I fixed the long build times in the dumbest way
Turns out
I had full rebuild on for some reason
Remember when I was contemplating getting a new pc because of the long build times
is it from g.skill?
Fair
i watch N7day panel with the cast
laura there is your favorite shepard
Join your favorite crew of aliens and misfits once more! Make sure to grab a print from their shops before it's too late!
its live
Why is it live... and it's not the 7th?
got cast good time for weekend
font 
so if i want my npcs to walk their last 2 meters on a spline to face their target instead of rotating in place when they arrived
is there any premade solution for this?
I swear if I see one more "female only" apartment listing today I'm going to make it a mission to nuke all females
that's it
you gals are done
It's the female only toilets that got me.
I'm all for all female gyms
π€£
just identify as girl and call it a day
I requested a male only section, they never got back to me :(
I tried that too, then they asked what country I was from
Call them out for gender discrimination.
I mean, assuming they have a female-only section.
i wonder if it smells there like when you enter a douglas store
or maybe... i keep the other joke for me π
tf is a douglas store
a perfumery brand which has a bunch of stores here in europe
they do, I don't even understand how it happened
how do you make a female only section, but not a male only section. That's straight up gemder discrimination lol π΅βπ«
I mean women like having a safe space where people don't leer at them and try to chat them up.
I guess no guys have really ever asked for one?
Except for you.
I've actually looked into that, and apparently people do actually want male only sections. Usually, it's not for reasons of feeling unsafe, but rather discouraged. For me specifically, It's harder to focus on the gains (which is a really bad reason) π
Then all you can do is ask again.
If they don't reply, go and talk to the manager in person.
If they flatly refuse, report them to the government/newspaper for gender discrimination.
I'd be really shocked if it got taken seriously, I don't think these kind of concerns are handled fairly when the roles are reversed. Maybe you know what I mean maybe not.
Of course.
The same thing happens in domestic violence and coercive control cases.
Police laugh at men, help lines say they can't offer help, there are no "men's shelters"
We're just living life on hard mode π . It is what it is sadly. I actually argued about the no men's shelters thing in a classroom setting once, it didn't go well
I wouldn't say hard mode, but there are definitely difficulties that get overlooked.
maybe one of these day's we'll actually push for better circumstances/treatment for men
Everyone should have a right to be taken seriously π
really interesting topic
Anyone who argues against that is basically a sexist.
What did they say, out of interest?
it is hard mode bro
Why does Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde's AI seem overly complicated but simple at the same time
@broken sigil π
Wall of text incoming
Somehow we got on the topic about women rights when I raised my hand to say it felt like women had more rights then men. It's got the classroom kind of rowled up. The teacher (female) asked me for an example and I brought up women only shelters. I used the movie "Pursuit of happiness" starring will smith to show the example of when he had to find another place to sleep when he waited in line just like everyone else but wasn't allowed in just because he was an adult male. It got shut down pretty quick by some of the loud females in my classroom.
They didn't really give any counter arguments though. They said things like "Men should just go make their own shelters", and "Just go to the other available shelters". Among other nonsense attacks targeted at me. Some guys did stick up for my concerns though so it was pretty cool. But eventually the teacher tried to give a more detailed reason for women only shelters which was. "some women were abused, traumatized, and other things caused by men. So this is the only place they can go to be safe and not have to see another man at all as the existence of a man is a trigger for them".
When I tried to point out that none of this explained why their aren't any men shelters she just decided to move on from the conversation and continued with the lesson. In the end I learned that speaking out on it was a great way to get abused verbally lol. But it's fine, we we're all adolescents, I'm sure they didn't mean the things that they said
xD
Pretty sure that applies to Varun, but do you mean Moxie and I?
woman shelters should be somewhat a temporary solution if it's really for something like victims of abuse or whatever
otherwise it just fulfills their world view, which might be shifted due to their bad experience
Probably, I've only ever been met with insults when discussing this topic with someone who disagreed lol
it would end up in a toxic self feeding loop crowding them together with other victims
I thought that was teh point of them?
Couldn't resist π
Hehe
To be clear though I never argued women shouldn't have access to these things, I only questioned why men didn't. I was never given an actual reason that made sense, to this day.
you wont regret it either ways if you enjoyed the main game
wish that was the speed I could download at lol
for real, Neo needs to break us off a piece of that bandwidth
that's faster than most peoples local ethernet π
In the end I learned that speaking out on it was a great way to get abused verbally lol.
Wait you proved my point lol
ISP sent me a letter about a speed upgrade, implied that I didn't have a docsis 3.0 modem (I do) and a month after their estimated rollout, my speeds are lower than ever.
On the previous topic... I'll drop this video here, I won't comment, I won't say my opinion, will just drop this video here because it's interesting

my ISP deserves a place in the book next to all crypto scammers
and all other scum on earth
not only have they the balls to charge for 3x the bandwidth of which i get, they also had the balls to suggest me an "upgrade" for the same price but with 24 months of runtime, so that i wont be able to cancel after a month like i can
Yeah my fibre box is like a few feet away
I think the only reason they are offering this speed increase for free is because google is offering service in my area now
My internet sucked, I bought a new router, was great for a bit, then the last few days ago it started sucking again π
otherwise they wouldn't do anything
Wow I can relate to that
I think a problem is that people conflate having rights with those rights being taken into account.
People have the right not to be discriminated against, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
And this is why men get a raw deal when campaigning for rights - attitudes like that this denigrate women.
*denigrate
@sweet rose Lets not do that...
Lol was the character creation always thisβ¦ detailed? π
Indeed!
taking rights from others because you don't have them is kinda... childish. instead you should maybe consider fighting for the rights
I was joking
Yeah.
I know, but still
Joking in a serious conversation about rights? Good job.
conversation*
Damn my typing today.
good job
here I go, see you on the other side π
your player hates fire apparently
(burning hate I guess but I felt like being snarky)
now I will happily take my right to play this game... adios
It's a pretty serious, but interesting conversation for sure. In the end, maybe one day I'll get a men's only gym where I can look around freely with the bros without appearing as a stitch on someone's tiktok π. For now I'll continue looking in the total opposite direction. Time to pump πͺπββοΈ
"few days" π
exits stage left
discarded cyberpunk for AW2 π
You want a men's only gym? Go to Dubai

Misworded, men's only section but same thing I guess.
fair enough, that one is done and dusted
You solution to a men's only gym is to go to a country where women probably arne't even allowed in a gym, so they are all men-only default?
Oh I'm doing another full run once I finish alan wake 2
Cyberpunk deserves multiple playthroughs π
Dubai has separate gyms for men and women
and i thought i wasted a lot of time on this....
*Your solution
I love women ofc, but I'd just like to work out in a judge free environment with no cameras π. Even though I'm absolutely shredded lol
let me tell you something that may blow your mind
gyms aren't the only place where you can work out
I mean, there are clubs you can go to to 'look around freely with the bros'. Seems like you're whining about a made up issue that you've seen on social media. Go to the gym, do your workout. It's not a social club and don't stare at people.
That was partially a joke my programmer bros, I am freaking jacked though π
no one cares
me irl^
I'm "shredded" too
||/s||
Ah, well good for them, I guess.
Very true. I've experimented with all sorts of things. At home workouts, calisthenics at the local parks, etc. I love meeting meeting new people I can hang and challenge myself with personally. That experience I only get at the gym
I love that episode lmfao
My closest friends, I met at the gym.
Tye frustration is understandable, that's why I dont go to gyms. I can literally use rocks in my backyard to work out, I just gotta go outside.
Uh HELLO
blue man got a stroke
Um...
South park creators cant draw yoga balls very well it seems
please no
I'll pretend I didn't see those
Bro you're absolutely ripped π
I was laughing so hard at that episode

But then you miss out on all the potential friends who mightve pushed you to do just one more lift
Bluey do you know any pathfinding algorithms aside from the A* algorithm paint tools use for the fill tool
I just did a quick vacuum in my apartment, thats enough of a workout for me for the month π
they may just spread the fill
that's usually flood fill I would imagine
Rather miss that then wind up on some onlyfans girls instagram/Tiktok account in a negative way
whatever adjacent cell fulfills the rule will be filled and do the same to it's adjacent cells?!
this 100
hopefully I can play AW for an hour without any more yoga balls here π
we will give you one hour
If a girl filmed me in her gym tiktok and accused me of some bs I would smash her phone on the ground and go back to my workout
I still haven't seen the latest few seasons of sp. Since covid, basically.
Youre the mod #lounge needed
We respect you π
some of the best episodes were post covid bro
i think i haven't watched it for 3 years or smth
comedy central stopped streaming it in my country π¦
I honestly thought for sure some mod was gonna come and remove the entire topic just because it was volatile. Thanks for letting us speak honestly.
Happens a lot in other discords.
as long as it's not crossing any lines, which I think it has been fine so far
I'm using A*pathfinding algorithm with a admissable heuristic function for the ghost ai in my pacman clone. Works pretty solid but doesnt give the same feeling as the ghosts in the real version
Tempted to try toying with their individual target nodes to move towards, but cant get it to work properly yet
they might just traverse their path and randomly pick a side path?
oh yeah original ghosts do a lot more that just go to your position
Some actually target ahead of you, some circle you or go longer way intentionally, etc...
i doubt that it had any excellent path finding solution
Also, my ghosts can turn around 180 degrees, whereas the ghost in the actual version cant
oh well
Inkys target node is codependent on pacman position and blinkys positions
I know how their ai works, watched a video on it earlier. Just cant find a way to implement it without starting from the ground up
there was a video I watched about how the original game did it but I can't remember the name of the video
you know they have their own website, right?
Pinky is off set by 4 nodes in front of pacman, except when he is facing up where it would be offset by 4 nodes to the left and 4 up
yeah I think I saw the same one, it was interesting
yeah
Blue Man best mod
Retro arcade game nerd or something like that
can't even access it with the 24h pass thing
i guess it's because of the age verification laws here which are kinda strict
Ever wondered how exactly each ghost follows Pac-Man around? It's all explained right here.

that's weird
It might be that one
don't get me started with that law... and who fulfills it, and who doesn't, and how those who don't get media coverage because they don't etc... π
Do I do my own version of their scatter behavior or skip it entirely
after all the law was a great way to advertise all the stuff that they wanted kids not to see π
Decisions decisionz
It's all written in python, could easily convert it all into GDScript and load up godot
I would probably try to do my own version 
That's gonna have to be after I get their main behavior working right-ish
What a good idea
Machine learning ghosts
Never will they get stuck in a loop when pacman hides in the bottom right T shape wall
Yeah that idea didnt work
They're the same
That's definitely safe.
you got 15 minutes left btw

If they have navi to the movie 70% of it will just be her saying that shit
idris elba is the main name guy from CP2077:phantom liberty
I dunno could be fun
ok fine, but I cant think of a good funny female comedian that could make the role hilarious
I'm going back to trying to write an implementation of a dijskstra map
That's a pathfinding algorithm innit
can be used as one yes.
I'm going to use it as a way of a)making sure the start point isnt put in a tiny little room that cant reach the rest of the map, b) put the exit on the far side of the map, c)hopefully also mark rooms/areas as critical path/ non crit

Blinky = Ghost(9, 8, RED, 1.25, player_x, player_y)
Pinky = Ghost(8, 9, PINK, 1.75, player_x + 150, player_y + 90)
Inky = Ghost(9,9, CYAN, 1, Blinky.x - player_x + 60, Blinky.y + player_y - 150)
Clyde = Ghost(10, 9, ORANGE, 1.50, player_x - 180, player_y + 180)
It's the last two arguments in each ghost instance that are the focus point. The pathfinding algorithms target node position. Still needs to be tweaked, but I'm finally on the "right" track
Step1: Stare at code for hours and get nowhere
Step2: Not being productive so start playing a game
Step3: Start getting code ideas
Step4: Go back to code
Step5: mind go blank
that just makes the loop of unproductivity go much faster
I might skip to the last step, which is going to bed
goto is illegal, sorry
Eyy! Dieterβs back
Alright letβs not get ahead of ourselves π
goddamn, they must have had a 99% chance to stay within the initial planned budget
das the joke!
oh funny thing, even a 100% in the old xcom (not enemy unknown) had a very small chance to miss. it wasnt actually 100%, but very close to it
the HUD just displayed it as 100%
iirc they had a 6 month delay, according to the reviewer. From 24 to 30 months.
They also said, the producer/publisher came at some point and said "Nah, I don't like it. Screw that project."
lol, good thing they didnt screw the project, or this masterpiece genre might have never existed.
or maybe they did screw it, thats why we have that abomination that is the hit chance formula
which one is this? i cant think of an xcom game (old or new) where you start with 8 soldiers. its usually 4, 6, 10 or 12
wait, submarine, so probably terror from the deep. havent played that one
The man behind the game, was working in Ubisoft and left to make Snapshot Games (the Chaos Reborn and Phoenix Point games).
it makes slightly more sense when you consider that the entire enemy+ friendly turns happen within 6 seconds in canon
so a 6 turn mission (which is very long in enemy unknown) is basically 36 seconds
i can forgive a random rookie missing a giant ET while only having 6 seconds to react
phoenix point was just bad though
terrible balance
yeah, i lost my first mewtwo because of that lol
pokemon yellow i think
Haven't played both of them.
Back to xcom, the remakes are quite streamlined compared to the originals. Especially 2 - Terror from the Deep. That Steam comment brings my memories back.
It was the first game I saw my bro acquiring hacking skills and editing in the savegame the soldier paramaters. They were in byte range, so once I tried to go above and rolled over. However, the bar showing the skill was not rolling over and was going on the next row. Or something along the lines, it was bizzare.
there's actually an xcom like out there thats really cool
its called othercide
has some really interesting ideas
i didnt like chimera squad
that one felt weird
this just felt like XCOM- MCU edition
I always wanted more focus on the soldiers, but not in that way.
Oh, wow. Next is, I haven't finished that game actually.
Gosh, 7 years ago.
Nope.
that totally changed the game
How it was?
you should try
very good
it adds some really cool features
plus a very high threat to the turtle play styles
Noted.
Noice
you can block tags on steam that you don't want to see
The pr0n can be turned off
oh boy a game where you can simulate being an organism. Surely that's what that was.
you save the image and put spoiler in the name
don't forget to block the anime tag
praise the omnissiah
awwww now you'll never know what it's like to be an organism
ill live
i keep clicking :(
same
curiosity gets the best of both troth of us
goddamnit, now this is blocked
Briefly, I read that as a number in euro.
spensive game
What is that currency sign btw?
indian rupees?
βΉ
that's where I found my gf too
yes
Peak dadbod
I always considered dadbodies having a bit more muscle tho. And kinda less volume there.
actually yes
you'd have more upper body muscles from carrying a 3-20 kg weight around for n years
i think that was just about you /jk
||i give up||
Don't bother, I hear mostly bland things about Starfield.
i didnt like it from the videos i watched
it's painfully boring
wouldnt mind owning it for 10$ though, 5 years from now
what currency is that
indian rupees
ah oki, i was like 5000$ for STarfield! wowza
82 rs = 1 dollar, more or less
Aha I see
Yeah today you never know, i sometimes see STeam Packages for like a franchise or something going over 500$
or a Space ship in that other STar game for around 450$
For these money you can buy good amount of starship 3d models on the market.
you think thats bad? this used to be 100k inr
for all the dlcs
π haha holy moly
When is this game gonna disappear finally...
i found this out when i thought of buying some of the dlcs for my ex's birthday
But yeah Sims has like a DLC for everything; Left Sock DLC, Right Sock DLC π
for that id need to love myself, so no
Heh, so fast, isnt Alan Wake 2 jsut out for like 2 months
bg3 supremacy
BMW π€
brb buying some sims 4 dlcs
yeah here STar Citizen, issa crazy!
oh oh oh im a scam citizen too!
π oh lawd havva mercy
i didnt buy that pack lol, just the 45$ starter pack
im waiting till it get's released so my grandkids can gift it on my 97th b-day
by the way didnt Bald ur Gate win a ton of trophies, i saw photos but didnt read anything last week
Can you can fly that?
Need Fuel DLC
Or are you just funding their next wall painting?
There's plenty of ships in the game that can't be flown.
Never met a person who played that.
im not buying any of that lmao, that would be almost 2x month rent π
that one can be piloted but yes, i know of others that are just art
i have about 5 or so hours clocked in star citizen. would have played more but the game servers crashed for a whole month
i gotta say though, they did a great job of making the flight mechanics enjoyable
This is one of my irrational fears; Musical Adaptations of Games, first in broadway, then translated to Netflix and stuff
I guess the joke is that there are a shit ton of worlds in starfield.
about a 1000 iirc
isnt it 'infinite" bc of the procedural thingy
ooh
no thats no man's sky
starfield has 1000 or so planets
hmm
so technically you could 100% the game?
yeah, some people already have
i thought everyone was so hyped because it was all procedural and no repetition on any machine
those poor souls
well unless they are paid to do it i dont think you have much time for a job π
how much hours is that holy
who knows, probably in the 1000s
Wait, so they have like 1000 custom planets?
custom is taking it too far imo
its more like 100 and the rest are remixes of those
Are they big?
Count of NPCs?
You can put them in separate category for which I may hear the number too.
yeah not much
not many species, feels like 2016 no man's sky but slightly better
Haven't played that too.
All I see is the NRF
So the wandering characters in the cities you cannot talk to don't count as npcs?
oh no its got amnesia
If itβs a character class and itβs not playable by the player then technically, itβs an NPC π
Ok I wanna try this now π

The future is now - or so it seems. @perrikaryal is a gamer, Twitch streamer, psychology graduate and a genius with the ability to control games...with her mind! She has mastered the art of doing this with games like Elden Ring, Halo and TrackMania all without using a controller. To do this she uses an EEG (electroencephalogram) that picks up he...
The makeup style?
π
I think most ppl are so distracted it will be hard to keep on micromanaging all them game actions.
apparently it took her months just to train to focus on certain patterns to trigger actions
It is interesting where this can lead. A bit of brain control is useful for many ppl.
Mostly to control the strong emotions.
Iβve seen a clip of that before
I wonder what the ping is with that thing
I now wanna get that thing to experiment with lol
Once you do, connect it to Deja so you can have a RL Transcendence
π
A decade or two ago, I was with some friends playing some kind of quest video game using a similar controller.
Not exactly a 3d brain scan, but it was following on some biometric data like pulse, trembling and I dunno what else.
I don't recall well what was the hardware tho, something on the head and something on the arm π€
I can bet this is using ML/AI to interpret the signals from the brain
Would explain the calibration process at the start
... Depending on your state you were able to solve some puzzles.
that's a pretty neat idea
What I'm saying is, you don't need much ML to do something similar. 15 ago most ppl barely have heard about it.
true tho to interpret brain signals ML would easily be the simplest solution
shiet... I think my pen of 10 years is finally getting empty.
rip pen
I know 2 people who own it, I bought it for $3.99
UniPin πͺ¦
The 0.1 variant.
Have you saw that phoneless thingie? AI pin iirc.
OpenAI apparently were able to secure some money to make it.
Must have been from all these lazy devs subbing to it π€
Ah... it is $700 + 24$/month
/kek
I called it LOL
AI telling you which employee to fire? π
You called what? π€
that it was using ML/AI
now lets see how many kidneys this headset costs
That clip you posted? Not surprised at all, lol. It was to be expected.
makes sense because ML is literally the simplest solution to processes brain signals (because the signal is noisy) and convert them into some output, as unintuitive as that may sound

Tho I expected it to be way more
Why unintuitive? Tunneling chaos into a categories is what ML/NN were designed for.
Well this is quite literally a textbook example of a perfect use case for ML
By unintuitive I meant that is sounds like a complex solution for this problem while in reality it's the easiest and probably the best one
Guys, never watch the βDear Zacharyβ documentary
I cried like 4 times
So friggin sad
from what the people said Baldur should win
Very beautiful
Probably
lmao their software costs more than their hardware if you want more than what's included in the free license
Yes that
Why no thumbnail, wtf
Knew a guy who was in neurobiology and was making a game that could be played via brain waves. It was an incredibably cool project
He wanted disabled people to have fun
This really got my attention now π
That emotiv one is apparently the best one for brain-computer interfaces
Haven't had the chance to chat to him again for a couple of years, he was super excited about it but tl;dr it's insanely difficult to get anything working with reliability
In this whole thingie, I believe the hardware is the most critical thing.
Getting a convenient, fast & reliable brainscan? Hard.
ok so to actually use the output for your own thing you don't need their super expensive professional software, this thing can communicate with your external app
https://www.emotiv.com/emotiv-bci/osc/
https://www.emotiv.com/emotiv-bci/
Tho they do have proper API as well giving you complete access to all the data streams from it, but it's a custom license
Which is what I dislike and probably gonna wait before something more open comes out if I decide to mess with it
If I pay 1k for hardware I wanna do whatever I want with that hardware
I was honestly expecting to be like 5-6k
yeah I'm gonna remove that π
I was barely able to start reading T.T
In other news, I had to shit on Copilot publicly so for someone to reply to my bug report from 3 weeks ago.
I don't think you will miss much if you wait for an year or so.
It is a boosted auto completer, but you still need to know what you want to do and read what it did.
So, it ain't so useful imo.
You can use the generic chat stuff for more complex stuff.
oh nvm
Seems like they have open API with full access to all the data streams from the headset
It's only their software that's super expensive
https://emotiv.gitbook.io/cortex-api/
https://www.emotiv.com/get-started/
ok I'm quite interested now lol
I'm finding something else to dive into and end up not having enough free time to actually mess with it π
is this happening because I'm getting old
yes
especially after my 20 this started to happen a lot
at my 15 life was more slow motion
make it not
or how memory works rather than time?
sounds like either life is not exciting as ever or just brain acts weird over the time
at 20 your life is moving 33% faster than it was at 15 yo, relatively speaking π
You will be busy fixing your health and family prolly.
40 is where the brain is at peak performance. From 50-60 it starts to slow down.
Brain health numero uno.
40 is where the brain is at peak performance
interesting
i would expect 20-25 are the peak
that's physical
since after 25 you cant learn languages easily
Nope, until 25-30 it stills develop. Especially the emotional part, the frontal cortex continues.
Sec...
As the most complex organ in your body, your brain changes radically throughout your life. Starting from before birth and continuing even after you've died. This is what happens to your brain as you age.
00:00 - What happens to your brain when you age?
00:32 - In the womb
01:03 - Childhood
03:19 - Teenage years
04:48 - Early adulthood
05:27 - M...

30 year is full development
40 year is top gray matter.
Reflexes peak at age 24-25 and decline from there
So.... that means I have just 1 or 2 years left and then I'm gonna be overtaken by the new generation of kids in FPS shooters

now I wonder if we can steal other people's gray matter to be more intelligent πΉ
Is that a naturally occurring decline or a life-style related decline tho? because a lot of older people have declining brain health because they don't exercise/use their brain anywhere near as much as they did before
i was thinking this a lot these days

like how old people who excersize daily are healthy af
I suppose it is a mixed study. Nothing can beat health.
Nothing can beat time too.
Everything peak at 25 and then decline
#Fixed

Significantly decayed brain health is my biggest fear when it comes to getting old. I can deal with my body decaying but my mind is a different story 

watch a lot of anime
40 is good time. Except being top smart, you should be also in general wealthy and more or less healthy.
people says 30 to 40 are the top time as you know what you want, how to dress and have money etc
are you trying to get me to decay my brain faster?
but yeah it goes extended over the time
I'm also terrified of losing my hearing. I already got bad hearing ;-;
but idk I started the 30 as started the 20, just with all the DLCs about experiences and knowledge @cursive crypt

Enjoy the ride.
I just wish it goes better
make video games β
whatever is comfy β
have job β
I am now 30 to 40
After 40, say 50 onward, they say ppl start to work better, or more in sync all across the brain (say left vs right). In a way, this has brings more calm view of life. Not for all, but for the most say. You know, grandpas/grandmas are usually chill somewhat.
ofc, they don't have the body energy too and that helps.
Can tell I worry less about general things than when was 20, just for my sanity
seems a common across us all
"Starfield was NOT nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards." Arr sevenfield
I finally figured out why my AI was failing

How do you get the video sharing role
that is right
learn C# its better
Great so Iβm at maximum
@broken sigil welp just ordered myself a few displates π
was gonna wait but saw that 36% off was going in 11 hours
definitely going to have to use alternate hanging methods though. far too humid over here for a little wall sticker :P
how you learn things or 2 there is dotnetconf this week
I checked them out before, they don't have these "fake" sales
haha welcome to the club π
mine shipped this morning, hopefully won't take a month to arrive lol
Whatβs a displate?
it's like metal plates with pretty pictures π
Like generic stock images? π
Ah basically art
they usually have licensed artwork from popular games, shows, etc... Cyberpunk for example have their own official account there
Iβll bet π
hm, their terms don't mention the discounts affecting commision
displate seems to present it as if it's flat rate
that's one of the ones i ordered :P
gives me major black flag vibes so had to get it
naughty naughty
yeah same π
It looks pretty
I'll probably order some cyberpunk ones once this one arrives
got myself an AC one and a perk-a-cola one
definitely going to have to nail them, or screw them in
or use command strips
So basically posters 2.0 π
try the sticker, it might work, looks pretty sturdy
it's basically a sticker and a magnet
not sure, the damage that would be caused by failing command strips would be quite great
these are pretty lightweight
yeah it's the sticker thats the issue, i have seen many an account of them falling
