readyness to compromise
arrow was so badass
no it wasnt
lol, whoops. playing my time at sandrock, didnt notice the "Firework x10" on the description... need 10 for a mission... I now have 100
yeah, to my time at portia
68hrs into my current playthrough
I'm 68hrs deep into this depression of fixing another team's c++ code
you should take a break from that, and fix my code
i did a quick c++ tutorial
17 minutes
turned into 1 hour
😐
i hate Visual Studio still
why is intelli lense so stupid
just use notepad
nono i know about rider
its just that these tutorials all use vs
and it was already installed 😄
i would love to know rider
5 minutes of typing, 12 minutes of watching someone talk, and 43 minutes of getting things setup 
OH GOD YES
that was literally it
fucking VS integration plugin
and it still doesnt work properly
Mind explaining the server farm bit? I have incredibuild installed and im wondering if that's causing my 8 hour build times for a 5gb package
Nothing
Im trying to understand why it needs a server farm
ok thanks
Nope, VS installer told me to download it so I did
That's it
Okay got it
Man, i found this channel called jauwn and this guy covers terrible crypto games. Nearly 90% of the videos ive watched so far are about "games" that are just Lyra asset flips
No wonder normal gamers hate unreal so much
Lyra was a mistake
I don't think normal gamers play crypto games though
send link
Yeah, my logic was they probably associate unreal with bad games/crypto games at this point
👍
The marketplace depresses me
I only search the code plugins section but even that has somehow been infected with ai generated garbage
Im not skilled enough yet to do the things the plugins ive bought do, so i have to care lol
most plugins seem like they're just very easy to implement yourself though
even if you buy them to save you time, it might cost you more time in the long run
my company bought a rts bp package for prototyping
except of course, we just carried it on
and then decided to move it to c++
but the logic was just shit
so in the end I pretty much rewrote it entirely anyway
we are making an RTS too currently
and we also bought some packes
i told my boss to not buy the expensive ones first haha
Yeah, i dont buy most. Thing I have bought include:
HTN implementation for unreal
vector image generation in unreal
block out tools and various level design assistants
helper functions to make GAS liveable
Tokenization of ai resources for granular control over game difficulty
Im nowhere near skilled to implement those myself
Eyyy, you are no longer broke! 🥳
Also bought this a couple hours ago
source?
still broke
mhm
what does this have over just bp?
good point
Functionally? Nothing, there's nothing HTN can do that BT can't. However in my experience atleast, making the same behaviour in BT has been significantly more challenging than doing that same thing on HTN
seems like you're bad at bp
something cool in the marketplace on sale ?
just seems like a shame to spend 35 bucks on this
she liked bad guys, and I'm bad at everything so
how cool....
To you, you may have the knowledge to not need it. I do, while I'm still building up my skills
I think one of the big benefits was runtime graphs. I saw someone working on a game where you can visual script things to solve puzzles, and it uses that
You know, this is a dead horse by this point but I can't read. I just realised you were talking about the open logic editor, not the HTN plugin. I was wondering why you said 35$, HTN plugin costs about 300$ lol
This plugin allows me to give the players access to runtime graphs, so i can code some specific prewritten tasks and then allow them to mix and match those logic. So i could for example let them control how fast they want their door to spin in their starship. Think space engineers
Dammit cuppa
Hehe
Welp, now I look like an idiot who can't even use bp lol
RIP
In my defense dieter initially wrote bt instead of bp so i thought he was talking about behaviour trees
Is that in respect to my pre fuck up answer or post?
Yeah, i thought he was talking about behaviour trees
Oh? Which ones?
Opportunity to learn
hah, I had that in september
Oh really? I actually searched for information on that, couldn't find any. Then a few days later I saw a new plugin on the marketplace that did what I wanted
Not my best day
Oooh, okay, i missed that when I was searching
starred
Anyway, i bought that token plugin like 5 months ago so what's done is done lol
Pretty sure eren has a post somewhere on how they did that Laura already linked it 🐌
Yeah somehow I didn't stumble across it during my search
Anyway, it was only like 15$, i got it during a sale lol
I did come across those two gdc talks though, that's what gave me the motivation to go find more information on this topic
I dont have a single AI in my games that is actually smart
they are working nicely yes
but they get stuck on their own feet all the time haha
AI is never smart
Put me in your game, ill fit right in
it's often just overpowered which some confuse with smart
like?
flying AI needs a voxel driven navmesh solution
that depends (it doesn't need that always)
and RTS systems need advanced table behavior trees
often you get away with a sphere trace in a random direction, depending on what the AI has to do (like birbs)
What's an advanced table behavior tree
I want drones that actually find their way to the player tho...
its a system with multiple behavior trees
that way you can easily integrate all kinds of variables
its nothing i ever want to touch
But RTS AI is just so incredibly detailed...
you can run behavior trees in behavior trees tho
you also never have to touch my mouse but still you asked if it's sticky
What kind of game are you making that needs, flying ai, rts ai, and the aforementioned multiple different types of ai (which i dont even know what they are)
Does licking count as touch?
a visual novel
Detroit Become Human
subtitle: Lawdy and the glue incident
That barely known series has eaten a huge part of my childhood
give it back blizzard
yea, overengineering is one hell of a drug
Detroit: Become Hitman
That's just normal Detroit
Detroit: Eat Glue
i just played an hour hitman, just to die and lose all mission progress 😦
that's not an option
at which price tho
that's like eating with a golden spoon
(still my mind tells me that it's steak on the dish)
that's not what i meant
doing the same in my KVM :p
on the other hand, now i would be afraid to change the setup to real hardware since there have been quite a few reports that it doesn't even activate anymore
I think you just gotta call MS
i've got a legit one with my last system... but still
i had a few times when XP was "new"
first of all they are transferable in germany (as ruled by law)
second, idk, i think that was a custom build and the xp license was bought separate, that thing is 10 years old now...)
but still, why would i do this to myself?
i would be lost like a child in the woods
yea but i'm stubborn and used to my tools on linux
does the license sticker tell if it's OEM or not? i'm curious now...
ok, not curious enough to get this kvm up now... (as it's been a few months and you know how things are when you don't use them for a few months...)
nvm
you don't because you reinstall windows once a year
You didn’t get a free upgrade to 11?
ok, kvm is disabled in bios, since i resetted it when my memory stick was faulty...
virtualization
bios defaults
idc anymore
see, i don't even use it really in KVM 😄
i only did once to test pciex passthrough
to see if i could test my game in KVM
note to self: remember to change power button behaviour to sleep instead of shut down
kid thought it would be hilarious to press it while I'm playing baldur's gate 3
this is why you spam quicksave every 4 seconds
If I have a old pc and upgrade each part over the years, is it the same pc or a new one?
yes
Yes what
are you trying to reinvent the ship of theseus?
Yes

well you do you
I finished the 2nd playthrough yesterday, by which point I’d ran out of things in my journal except tarot cards
Please...
destroyed 🙃
Blue is a god of destruction
So, no Horizon One Down?
damn it I just realized that - in my effort to avoid writing fetch quests and combat quests - all the quests I've been working on right now are detective-ish quests
find out where the missing child is, find out who is organizing the underground paintball tournament, find out who killed the mayor
find out who is writing the quests
;-;
sounds a lot more fun than fetch quests though 🙂
I can't figure out how to vary them
I don't want all of them falling into categories
well, not these categories

lol
just finished watching alan wake 2
loved it
||wake up and smell the ?damage?|| do I remember that correctly? that one made me giggle quite a bit
It was a miserable evening, spent 4 hours trying to reviving dead or stuck cars in the snow outside.
thats shitty
Sometimes when it rains, it pours. Or whatever was the saying.
Got myself and nice & expensive pan the other day, it turned out it still contains pfas chems. Freaking manufacturers.
It gonna be banned most likely in a year or two, but they still dump it on the market.
Miserable.

Oh hell nah
i like how desperate they are
poor assholes 
I mean they are renowned.
Just not in a good way
I prefer the ponki version

Its cuter
its not
Here we go again
hi
hi
ffs I just have to pick something up at HR
but they're busy in their office all fucking day
I just want my fucking thing pls
2 sec
Enter there and yell at them insults. You will get their attention.'
and a nice letter saying I'm fired probably
That's the time you bring a box of chocolates and few flowers. They will be on their knees - guaranteed.
I'm not gonna sit in the car for an hour and a half to bring some cholcolates and flowers though
You need a strategy to get them.
finally they stopped talking
I had to submit a bug report
"controller still vibrates when using mouse and keyboard"
video demonstration
Stick it on your shoulders. Free massage.
ooh, good idea
Is that from a game or UE?
while (true);
planetrary
bethesda fallout bleh
Eeh, I dunno too, but I will check it out for sure. I kinda liked F4 ( heavily modded ofc).
you can tell which one the 4 looks better ?
Tbh I don't think anyone can tell the difference between the top and left bottom samplings in game
isn't there a command to flush the texturepool ?

what do you wear at an interview for a job about making video games?
Some people wear toe shoes. #career-chat message
Pretty sure I just wore jeans and t-shirt for my last interview
Eww lol
Worried about their foot health lol, yeah that’s def a good “reason” to make for having weird tastes in shoes
I'd feel so unprotected with shoes like that
I don't need to stub my toes while wearing shoes
Hehe
Something nerdy.
i wonder if there is ANY proof that those are "healthier" than normal shoes
I can see an argument for it. They allow your foot, especially toes I guess, to keep a more natural shape.
Regular shoes don't really allow for your toes to function independently of each other
They become like one structure
yeah just hope you don’t drop anything on it
I don't imagine they'd protect you any differently than say normal running shoes
Who needs good body posture anyways when you can have style?
exactly
the odyssey to create a cubemap for UE lol
somehow nvidia blocked their tool and need to rejoin dev program
Bred
Looks good!
I wanna see what the inside looks like too c'mon
@timber viper Found some wallpapers for you on the wallpaper engine 
I can hear this picture 💀
Canal treatment is worse than death
Still trying to recover
I wish I knew having a broken teeth could cause this earlier
No wonder why people were dying from teeth diseases at medieval lol
In Scotland it was traditional to remove all your teeth as an adult and get wooden dentures.
Always wanted splinters in my mouth, cavities are over rated
this is how it look
Why epicgames are so fucking stupid and the support also so damned stupid., i need since 3 months help with account recovery, i send ALL i have, all bills connected accounts and they always reject my support request and request some more documents i already send, this company called epic games are hugh bullshit
i hope some employe reads this and get pained in the ass
They won’t, but you should read the #rules
i should just die not more
Bit drastic
fact
This server is not owned and operated by Epic just fyi
It’s the “unofficial” community discord
obviously my account taken over because of databreach by some other company they not protected accounts, some logged into my mail and changed passwords... epic games know this all and does nothing
a fucking trash company i call them
fucking russian hackers
I suppose it is very frustrating, but there is nobody around to help as I see it.
See how dumb epic games is
all the emails all proofs andthey requested again and again and again
i contact now an lawyer and hopefulley they change it ... bullshit company
@fleet tangle did you watch anohana?
Maybe? I'd have to check.
The flower we saw that day?
It's on my list to watch I think.
hm
i was going to ask if I should watch violet or anohana first
i guess I'll go with violet then
Oh, no, I just wasn't logged in to mal.
I gave it an 8/10.
Violet?
Oh. I'm remembering it now. It's really good.
(anohana)
prepare to feel XD
heh yeaaa
RIGHT IN THE FEELS.
Now this one is definitely on my list to watch. Haven't seen it yet.
the thing with that anime is
just 5 eps before the final
i got spoiled by some idiot randomly
The big emotional damage is from fruits basket tbh.
yet it still broke me
Aww. 😦
Yeah...
If you don't want your heart removed and crushed under the weight of the sun, I highly recommend asobi asobase. Funny as fuck.
During recess, Olivia, a foreign transfer student who doesn't know English, plays a game of "look-the-other-way" with Hanako Honda, a loud-mouthed airhead. Their rowdy behavior spurs the ire of Kasumi Nomura, a deadpan loner constantly teased by her older sister for her tendency to lose games. Not willing to compete, Kasumi declines Olivia's off...
Are you even more broken now?
evangelion isnt depressive, just too psychological
i hate that I understand shinji too much
I haven't seen it in so long.
Adobe choked on that meat.
And you didn't tell me
Smh
Or did you not finish it in that binge
Ah understandable then.
its also getting better
Yes
but I am getting bored of the loop
This is the correct choice.
Idk their English names but "apostle"s I guess?
every plot happens through a apostle incident
I'm not judging yet, waiting for story to reach the part where they get meaningful
Which episode did Rei plot start?
but from my current perspective it looks like they are used as a tool to develop plots randomly
rei dies? 
I'm on ep11
ep10 was rei existential crisis
Oh you're still early
"who am I, who is Rei, who is ikari-san" 
Not even halfway smh
the episode where electrics was cut off
was very cool
the illuminati apostle
and the hacker apostle
science fiction went a bit too far
holy creatures hacking military bases
The English version called them "Angels" iirc
and a random blonde chick outsmarts it with bare hands on a dumb laptop
You calling Ritsuko dumb?
her laptop
is dumb
compared to the "evolutionary unbeatable scary af angel"
I enjoyed the ep but it was funny thinking about it later on
I never thought of it that way lol
Maybe if shinji just got in the robot, he wouldn't be getting bullied
shinji does a better job than asuka so far
||asuka meanwhile, keep yelling at people and simping misato-san's ex||
||i have a conspiracy theory that Rei is not a real human||
||shinji's father did something awful there||
||maybe created her with science or something||
||that amount of existential crisis is unexplainable otherwise||
||unless some ikari related childhood trauma is involved, but, fbi open the door then
||
Careful how much you say without spoilers while explaining your reasoning >.>
Watching the chat turn into a classified fbi doc in real time 
I need to rewatch because I'm not even sure what this is referring to xD nvm it came back
especially when ||there is a snitch is around||
||she cant figure who she is||
||and often mentions shinji's father||
||and a new plot revealed shinji's father is obsessed with her||
knowing how much he worships science
I even forgot who that was lol
Ahh
if I had to guess its ||misato's ex||
I'm thinking the name Togusa
and ||he ran off with a jet when angels attacked navy||
But that's the ghost in the shell dude
|| smh stealing Laura's pay ||
lol
I am excited to hear more as you continue the show 
Did someone say ghost in the shell?

You all eat glue
true
oh no, who told you
Not just any glue, SUPER Glue
I'm social manager already ?
That's a lot of Instagram and youtube videos
Doing numbers, got like 10 likes in total
lol
too sad, because some years ago you could even post a tree in UE and get easy 100 likes
in some months UE4 and me do 10 years of relationship ❤️
Why do that when you can post a tree in unity 4 and get 100 dislikes?
Making UI is hard
Why is making UI so hard?
making UI isn't hard, making the UI correctly it is
I mean yeah that's what I mean, making good UI
you better don't see what we had todo with flash
Ofcourse i can slap together a ps1 era UI in 10 minutes
(that's an exaggeration)
I'm trying to make something that can handle a lot of sliders and buttons (its for the advanced control over my ship's thrusters) but everything looks overwhelming
Like if I was playing that and I saw that screen, id refund the game
"... just bought a $17 million fruit orchard in Florida in an attempt to own more land than Bill Gates"
... is one of those selling their body on internet
they will overtake Tim lands too
its awesome when you open youtube in the morning with 10 videos from yesterday and them all play the same 2 ads for almost 1min
I just pay for youtube premium. I gave up trying to fight them a long time ago
15€ per month to remove ads really ?
Oh it costs that much in eu? I just pay 30$/year
wtf
So pretty good deal for me
does this include the music one ?
that's something at least
They also started a game section for youtube premium. You get to play shitty mobile games!
Its really mostly for getting rid of the ads imo
really?
never seen that
I know netflix did something like that
why not just YTM if you already have it though
or are you on like a family plan
or you just like giving out money?
I don't like youtube music, ive been using Spotify for longer lol
No reason other than that
Yeah, i got an email about it and saw it on my dashboard a couple days ago
I do listen to music on YouTube, but that's mostly game osts i cant find on Spotify
I'm actually on a student plan lmao. My university gave me a perpetually valid student email 😂
Best thing I got out of that place tbh
This is for Spotify
it's incredible how the epic marketplace got flooded with AI generated game icons -_-
it almost feels like there's one "real" asset for every page which is filled with AI icons
so 0
why does this preview remind me of the first Doom game...?
no
your game can be 95% blueprints 🙂
c++ will just give you new options and make some things faster and easier
but thats really up to you
i like that word. easier 😄 okok i think i will try learn C++ haha
ty!
good choice
the only really non optional part would be declaring structs, as the bp ones are broken.
The upside of this is that it's easy and requires little to no cpp knowledge, and many of our bp regulars have managed to do it :D
how are bp structs broken
they can randomly forget data entries, crashes when changing the structure as well as invalidating every single reference to them when done so
they are just fundamentally flawed ticking time bombs
"they can randomly forget data entries"
do you have proof for that?
i never experienced this
I'd struggle to find the message as it was quite a while ago, but I helped someone with the same issue in #blueprint
bp structs are well known evil
not to me no
😐
i build my entire inventory systems out of structs
i have structs inside structs
and arrays of that
no issue
Its true that you have to be careful with structs
its strange that these people have these issues haha
you can fully ignore any cpp by the way XD
these people have c++
because they're fundamentally broken
but why are my systems working so well then
because it's luck of the draw. Even one of our most die hard bp struct believers ran into a bp struct bug eventually, after a while of "everything is fine"
#cpp message
then i must be SUPER lucky
yep
but gain there is 0 reasont to just not do it.
you need the build tools for packaging anyway, and with plugins that do most of the boilerplate for you, it's mostly looking up what the data types are
eh i've also had issues with them in packaged
ok but i dont
i am actually quite happy how they evolved
no idea what data these people are handling
but if you play it careful
you can avoide alot of these struggles
and if you work clean
has happened to me
oh my god, vik has converted??
holy shit
brb im gonna go check my pet pig and my personal hell
the first gif didnt have the full quote
I see
btw, i have had this tab open on my browser for like 3 months now since you told me to look into it. im terrible at task management lmao
my very first project had a struct break. vik has published an entire game without touching cpp structs. so answer is i have no clue
when was that
what year
last year, december
i feel like im being interrogated....
i had a struct, it had about 5-6 variables. It was used across the project. I then decided to rewrite the struct and change one variable type to another. instant project break on compile. never managed to save that project, source control saved me
I've also lost projects through many engine versions because of this
just never opens, because of infinite null references trying to process
it was 11 months ago ffs how am i supposed to remember the exact error message
i posted about it in #ue5-general , youre welcome to go hunt for it
then dont? its as simple as that
you probably worked unclean
sure, multiple people have the exact same issue, that is fixed magically with C++ structs have got to all be lying :P
that's not how that works
i dont doubt that serialized c++ structs are supifasdl#övjmnfdoibjsrrior
you know it, boss
I do
There's no saving some 😔
back then in 2016 or 2017 i was hunting after a struct corruption issue like this
i even had an example demo
epic fixed that bug
it also entailed changing a variable in a struct to something else while used in a loop
I was the one who killed that bug
If you are telling me its back, then i need proof.
so we can fix it
reproduce your issue in an clean enviroment
and send it to epic.
this is serious business.
you are telling me
the one who brought it up
right now, i truly understand dieter
try to find a partner
if you clicked on any of the links cuppa posted, youd see a screenshot with an error message related to structs
that is multiply
no

or actually dont
i like my sanity
i just came here what topic
lol
interesting thing to say ms. pot
Oh this reminds me, was definitive painter ever free? I don't remember buying it lol
what pot
the pot that calls the kettle black
Nope iirc 🤔 Author disappeared for some time, but is back again.
what??
Yeah, i know that plugin had no activity for a long time. I don't even remember buying it though, I bought Iliad but that one is pretty inactive now too
translation: No U
Not unusual, big bang, then evaporate. You are left with self maintenance.
Yeah lol, i thought the prefabricator plugin was also abandoned, turned out the author had just given up on publishing on the marketplace and was using github
That one is free though iirc
You mean the kettle of color
Yeah, it jumped 5.2
5.2 had a strange bug where plugins would refuse to download
5.2 was a pretty shitty experience in general tbh
Constant crashes
tbh, I somewhat jumped over 5.2 too. I was busy with other stuff and by the time I thought to update, 5.3 came out so I waited a bit more for the patch version.
african american kettle
You didn't miss out on much, unless you like stress
i made something really overcomplicated 😂 i made a main menu, used that as 3D widget and then reused that as pause menu...
Its really efficient but complicated
Helped someone with some implementation today.
Usees bp struct
and suprise2 broken again
Luckly can be fixed by renaming
the good old unknown structure error. 5.3 btw
Already closed it and renamed the cursed struct. Got nothing to proof to BP struct denier, it's their lost the deeper they dig the hole.
there is a youtube video on how to reproduce the error. Ue5
i dont believe you (jk)
@lofty lark the new darktide event is boring 😦
Is this the usual pace of fatshark? Cause I'm pretty sure paint dries faster than this
most helpful comment? that you need actual sugar to caramelize stuff? ...my hopes for humanity are fading...
but but....its a Kosher Hottie 😦
they must know what they are talking about, right?
thats a trap question to identify atheists for the purge... i wont fall for it!
but did i show you yet what i found at the convenience store the other day? amongst the usual assorted kids candy crap
this is someone's side quest

I'm trying to generate an image similar to this but the shitty AI doesn't do it
cant wait for the day chatGPT gets decent at answering UE questions
maybe next version
LOL they are being resold on ebay 
what in tarnation is that
they just make a magazine with ai art?
Mj has monthly magazines to show off the best creations each month
But for some reason people are reselling them for insane amounts
it is a bit of a weird concept
It’s up for sale but definitely NOT being sold lol ain’t nobody buying that
making magazine of things their users made, that actually an ai made that might be potentially doing copyright infringement
is it at leas free for subscribers?
Welp this one has been disputed in court quite recently
It’s an actual magazine? https://mag.midjourney.com/
Yeah
bro what is this shit site, it complains I'm blocking ads, I turn off adblocker, and it still complains
Why would anyone buy the overpriced copy on eBay?
friggin reuters
I think it's because you can't get older copies, only for the current month so people are trying to resell the previous ones for way too much
Oh that’s funny
this was the nicest one so far
so what did the judge decide? since I can't read their shit site
firefox, rightclick, inspect, delete div tag of the adblock blocker blocker
thats a pretty cat
You have an affinity towards the unabomber as an animal human hybrid? @sweet rose
but scroll is still disabled and I'm too lazy to find
Yes
it was having problems covering the cat's head with the hoodie
delete more div tags \o/
yeah cat ears are known to pose a problem for hats, thats why they have fur
literally 1 second, no ai needed, just a gif search
Dismissed like 90% of their claims against Mj and other image gen companies
Orrick agreed with all three companies that the images the systems actually created likely did not infringe the artists' copyrights. He allowed the claims to be amended but said he was "not convinced" that allegations based on the systems' output could survive without showing that the images were substantially similar to the artists' work.
Kind of ironic that you’re using advanced AI technology to generate images resembling a terrorist who hated technology.
lol
I know 😂
if the ai would actually draw shit by knowing what the shit is it draws, ok, id get that judgement, but its basicially just a good collage system with post process stuff
and for that collage it uses other peoples stuff
now, is a Basquiat a copyright infringement of a new york times article thou?
That's not how diffusion works, it's not collage, it actually learns the "essence" of the images trained on
It learns features of images, at no point it directly copies parts
the diff is basquiat made one image, an original, that reflects something else than the article, which does not make the work of the article void, the ai does not, it replaces the work of the artist with a copy of it
it just learns what something looks like, and then smashes some pixels together until it looks like what you want
it's not like copy pasting anything
but the problem is more in how it is trained to recognize things, and when emulating specific artists
but it follows the pixle arragement of another image which is kinda copying
it does not
It's literally starting from noise and trying to diffuse them into what it "thinks" the prompt should look like
At no point is it copying anything
Or collaging
mmh
so it just learned how a head looks by looking at heads and puts pixels where it think they are placed on average by other people...
Common misconception is that it pulls parts of images from a large database, that's not the case
This page blocks adblacker
i cant see the article
it makes pixels, then changes a bit, checks whether it look more like a head then before or not, and just keeps adjusting like that
cause it can't count
Basically, it learns paterns that it associates with words
a hand with 6 fingers still looks like a hand
even cats can count to five
but the ai doesn't count at all
At inference it starts from noise and in steps denoising it and pushing it closer and closer to what it thinks the image should look like
Diffusion models are denoisers
Now you're just hurting their feelings.
Yeah but didnt it turn thousands of images into noise first
He is giving the other 10% a chance to provide more proof afaik
Nope, noise is random
This random noise is also how you can get different images for the same prompt
The best way how I can describe is if you ever laid in bed with your eyes closed and in the dark with your eyes closed you start to make out patterns and images
Somewhat what diffusion models are doing, from the random noise they try to make out features and patterns
A lot of my art ends up looking like random noise, so maybe me and AI aren't so different after all
You'll only make out/see patterns if you dont have enough sensory stimulation 🙂
Damn then Im going to visit a museum tommorrow
I usually see them right before I fall asleep, usually how I know I'm about to fall asleep
There's a new event?
the part 2 of the whatever event that launched earlier this month
oooooo
Fun fact is you import an asset from 5.3 to 4.27 and you package the project it will claim that the 5.3 is too old


why is unreal so full of gotcha moments
because they're so fun
https://www.vg247.com/diablo-4-100-usd-dlc-survey-report
"The survey has multiple questions about different potential price points for the DLC, and what each price would include to justify it. $50, $70, $80, $100 are the four different price tiers listed, with each offering more and more incentives. All four get you access to the expansion, but it's the the other bonuses that are worth getting into."
who knew you could just ask players if they want to pay more
Trouble sleeping? Run into a wall until it knocks you out
there's too many lyra doubters. How do we make people see the light?
What's lumen
Not another document to read
It is scary
Wht if I lose my place and have to restart
I thought using your finger to read was a braille thing
But I'm not a child, this technique is forbidden
If it doesnt have a ranking system then there's no point in improving
I still remember my elementary school teacher scolded me for still using my finger
I am still using my finger 
he wanted me to be scientist, because my grades were stellar
then I met with computers
I wish he would scold me more to not use computers
so I didnt have to learn programming
ikr
I hate taboos
dont use finger reee
What's wrong with using fingers 😆

Tf is moyai
I know
But isnt it spelled moai
The easter island statues
In 2010, moai was included as a "moyai" emoji (🗿) in Unicode version 6.0 under the code point U+1F5FF as "Japanese stone statue like Moai on Easter Island". The official Unicode name for the emoji is spelt "moyai" as the emoji actually depicts the Moyai Statue near Shibuya Station in Tokyo.
Wth is a blind person supposed to do if they lose their spot while reading braille
The same thing a seeing person does? Read back along until they find it?
You mean feel back
Well no, it's still called reading
Feeling = reading.
Nah that's listening
But what if you're following along with the audio book
Or reading out loud as a group in school
When does listening become reading
Most tourists wanna see cherry blossoms blossoming
Or get trapped in those "ninja" dojos that blatantly lie about debunked ninja stuff
That is a pet peeve of mine.
"I read 3 books this week!" No, you listened to 3 audiobooks.
How do you even read 3 books like that and actually absorb the story
Unless its skinny books
Unless they're very long books, it's very doable.
Some people read faster than others.
And I mean genuinely read, not just speeding through to show off.
That's understandable, the showing off part is what I mean
Yeah, I have met people like that.
Especially on social media.
There are services that summarize books, too.
Rick Riordan books are great to read
Roald Dahl too
Wind in the willow is all time favorite book 🗿
Youd think they use easter island statues instead
Yeah but youd think that's what theyd use
Its probably the only country aside from cyprus to be the most recognizable country via land boarders
Where the fuck is easter island
"Shit you didn't know about biology "
My kind of website
November was a really quiet month for Unreal.
No 'Nouncement November
I'm finishing up the latest edition of our newsletter and realizing not much happened.
Pretty much.
pretty interesting video https://youtu.be/OFS90-FX6pg
This video explores the journey of language models, from their modest beginnings through the development of OpenAI's GPT models & hints at Q*. Our journey takes us through the key moments in neural network research involved in next word prediction. We delve into the early experiments with tiny language models in the 1980s, highlighting significa...
Netflix did it again
I listened to 1 audio book in 3 weeks! Does that make it better?
It was a Warhammer 40k book 😂
coulda just said no
But this is more fun
YOU SHOULD
Ultimate epic battle sim needs to add the c.o.gs and locust horde so I can make them fight space marines and death korps of krieg

Already left Japan 😔
I only see hachiko statue
What is even that plain face statue 🤣
There's always a chance, imma go every year. Japan is great for shopping. Goods r 25% cheaper than where I am then followed by 10% tax free
Im learning Japanese atm. The goal is to apply for intern in a year
Bought this for 140 aud. My sister bought the same one for 260 in Australia
Ik but there's no game industry in Aus
Prob won't even get accepted 🙄 but gotta try
I shouldn't have dropped out from school
But I will die happy 🤗
One thing I regret in japan
I found out they have otter caffe in harajuku
But it was night and they closed 😭
We know that Vessel of Hatred will introduce NPC companions - which Blizzard says will offer convenient features like accessing your stash on the go
So that's why they've had you loading the inventory and entire stash of every player in your zone since launch! 😂
They took their "reason" for limiting player stashes and actually spun it around to be a feature
Guysss
Good meme and all but I didn't know petabyte exist!!

no fair, you skipped a bunch in between
Wdym? They just want subscribers 💰
i wouldnt mind watching microsoft implode tbh
Ah, might be. Haven't followed on them past 20+ years.
Would Nintendo fans really buy an MS product though
They can play all the fifas
nintendo fans will buy anything. Proof? Switch is the best selling console
Switch is made by Nintendo tho
isnt that why people buy it, I mean its not like it has great specs
im pretty sure the potatoes i cooked for lunch today have more processing power than a switch
I just thought it was like Pokemon, gotta collect all the Nintendo widgets
then you ask an Apple fan what a Switch is and they go... Apple dont make those
Subs only. That model is going to be the norm.
Im gonna be a dom in a world of subs
Real alpha gamer.
gah still 6 whole days till my monitor is in stock, then I gotta wait for delivery
overnight parts from Japan aint what they used to be
I don't think it's widely known, and still closed alpha
but it's from a studio formed by former devs of starcraft and warcraft 3
coincidentally IGN just uploaded a vid on it 18 hours ago lol
Stormgate is a very StarCraft-y RTS made by a number of ex-StarCraft developers. We went hands-on with the Zerg-like Infernal Host faction in our exclusive new preview, written by Leana Hafer.
it really is just starcraft lol
guys what's your opinion on the shitty AI pics that flooded the marketplace?
the authors even tag the products as "No AI" making it a nightmare to browse thru assets
why Epic is allowing all of this spam to take place 
could you do it in Slate though

really fun video
I spent the past 6 years creating a game engine, and I've been shocked at the things that can make or break performance.
I put together 3 simple optimisations that you can use to make your game run up to 10 times quicker.

will it be there after the nukes?
you'll get spam emails pretending to be free radiation clean up
exclusives generate more buzz though
hey, if scam citizen can sell ideas, why cant epic? 😂
true, i bought many egl games during the 10$ coupon era but now i hate playing them because of the launcher
Yeah the only reason I buy on EGS is the exclusives
Infact Epic have created more work even with the free games because now I have to cross check everything so I dont end up with a tonne of dupes
i just stopped collecting lol
it runs like shit
why is your shit running?
it somehow runs worse than egl
Yeah I boot it up occasionally, mostly used GoG Galaxy for checking think Playnite didnt have my PSN
oh
but GoG Galaxy is annoying having to reconnect it etc
