[median wraith]

getting my hair long after cut it early this year

and my hair is curly so it creates the perfect mess

[broken sigil]

Blue Man has left the chat...

[median wraith]

that's true, my ex told me to never cut the beard

then I did cut my hair

[broken sigil]

[median wraith]

but the glasses are double edge sword

[zinc wagon]

that's why you're not 10000% more than your current level of attractiveness
||i suck at typing, ok? please leave me alone 😭||

[zinc wagon]

can i leave with you?

[median wraith]

yeah those remove the DOF

[zinc wagon]

[broken sigil]

beardless club is this way, enjoy

[median wraith]

and I wished to have all connected beard parts in one but never happened so (you have to play with the DLCs you have)

[zinc wagon]

no chocolate chips tho cause they dont look smooth enough

[zinc wagon]

at least you have some. while im here rocking that middle-schooler moustache 🥲

[broken sigil]

If you figure it out let me know lol

[zinc wagon]

i know 😭

[errant raven]

Theres a plan to growing beards?

[broken sigil]

oh, I've heard about that, some people have it
I think it's called being a "female", whatever that means

[zinc wagon]

it's more of an attempt than a plan

[errant raven]

I have an immaculate beard

[zinc wagon]

are we a "female" blue man?

😨

[errant raven]

Cant eat foods with sauces anymore, theres some tradeoffs there

[broken sigil]

can it be transmitted?

[zinc wagon]

true...but what about me 😨

[errant raven]

I can try that

[broken sigil]

[median wraith]

so how much it takes you guys to grow the hair ? say like 15cm ?

I'm in the feel like its taking now more than what used to be 10 years ago

[errant raven]

How long is a centimeter

What is a centimeter

[broken sigil]

I will rename myself to BFM

[narrow vortex]

1 cm

[broken sigil]

Baby Face Man

[zinc wagon]

phew

[median wraith]

say 6 inches

[errant raven]

I only know inches feet yard football field and whale

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/nmplol-emiru-cyr-banned-gif-26412698

[zinc wagon]

one centimetre is about a 10th of a 10cm burger

[median wraith]

let me put back the avatar, I don't like to watch myself here

[errant raven]

Well how big is 10 centimeters

[zinc wagon]

i just grow it until it becomes too annoying to care for ngl 😅

[median wraith]

10 is about 4 inches ?

[zinc wagon]

after that it's a buzz cut

[narrow vortex]

About 100 mm

[errant raven]

Oh so about my size, beard hair wise

[broken sigil]

if we are talking hair, probably like a little over a year

[median wraith]

once you reach the 30 y you will get free beard too coming from the ears and noise, is so cool

[zinc wagon]

about a 10th of of a one meter burger

[median wraith]

yeah taking about 1 year for me for it seems like

[broken sigil]

My tacticts is to not care until it gets annoying to look at myself with that hair 😆
That's when it's long enough lol

[median wraith]

I wish haha

[zinc wagon]

literely none of the elderlies i know have that. maybe im destined to have no beard 😢

[broken sigil]

thank you for fueling my existential crisis 😆

[median wraith]

well by beard there I mean random hairs coming from*

[zinc wagon]

you're literally in your early 20s what existence did you have to crisis about!

[timber viper]

I wish we could enable/disable beards based on choice

[errant raven]

It takes you a year to get a 6 inch beard?

[median wraith]

one day you look at the mirror and ask yourself "damm why I got there 2 hairs of 4cm coming from the ear"

[timber viper]

I hate shaving them off, takes a bit time and I only fight with endless loop

[median wraith]

Well, life is technically that

pay taxes and get paid in a endless loop

you take showers too in the loop

[timber viper]

taking shower feels refreshing

and psychologically relaxing

[zinc wagon]

for me it was when it took more then one round of shampoo to clean my hair lol

[median wraith]

warm or cold ?

[errant raven]

Cold

[timber viper]

i like both

as long as its not excessive

after gym I want to take cold shower

other days usually warm

[broken sigil]

I'm 24
6 years to 30 and almost half way to 50

[timber viper]

judging by the photos in the website that I took the number, you look like you have a very healthy and happy life

sounds like opposite of using discord

your office is also cozy af

[errant raven]

Yeah just got some scented candles

Really makes the day in better

[timber viper]

i cant say i liked the introduction you wrote though, sounds too glibberish for anyone who are suffering from real psychological issues

We, as humans, have an incredible potential for growth, but we often find life difficult; we feel stuck, alone, and uncertain. I believe that when we work through the hard things, we can find healing. I strive to create counseling relationships based on safety, trust, and hope, where people are accepted and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways

[errant raven]

I just got into the drive to legally prescribe myself drugs

I was off the beans n lean when I wrote that

[timber viper]

[errant raven]

You think I give valid coping skills

[broken sigil]

who would have thought random comic generator can be fun lol

[errant raven]

I just tell them to put a hardhat on life's tough

[timber viper]

2 sessions each week? thats too frequent to face traumas everytime we talk

[errant raven]

Yeah but like 3.1k a week

12.4k a month

Before taxes

It's still more of an honest living than some game dev companies

[zinc wagon]

nothing can beat card against humanity lmao.
This is super nsfw btw!!

[errant raven]

[queen isle]

cards againist humanity unforatnetly has a small shelflife on humor. there only so far you can be edgey

[broken sigil]

Especially with something like CLion which is CMake oriented

Unity is what you use when your mum says we got UE at home

probably talking about this

[pearl elk]

Nope, not possible! I refuse to believe C++ programmers would name something this poorly 😛

I think combobulate is the perfect word instead of unity

jumbo build

Unity builds have also potentially dangerous effects on the semantics of programs.

well well

I honestly just use default build settings, I never mess with that stuff because it always breaks without fail

If there was one thing Id wish for its a custom compiler specifically for Unreal but aye... Epic cant even fix their launcher 😛

[thick oracle]

they will build their compiler using unreal engine

[pearl elk]

Isnt it already? since its wrapped through C#

I guess people of your level just compile C++ DLLs and pull them in directly

but for the rest of us we have to use the unreal build tools

which use C#

lay terms

I dont speak assembly

Yes custom compiler doesnt mean C++ at all

I didnt imply language

I actually dont care tbh

yeah and what I said its true in lay terms, you dont compile C++ without UBT, well most of us dont but you can use DLLs just like you would with anything else. So Unreal C++ would still allow DLLs just like any C++

so you wouldnt be forced to use Epics compiler variant if it were C++ you'd just use the regular one which is what ever you like

but yeah attack scemantics and not the point

if youre looking for logical fallacy

no I want Epic to write a compiler to replace the C++ compiler AND the build system so I dont have to use either

this has nothing to do with running on UE, I want it underneath

Its already terrible

things always get worse before they get better

[unreal ether]

After epics performance in reinventing STL, an epic c++ compiler makes me shudder. :P

[pearl elk]

yeah well, they reinvented most things already

why not go the whole way

I bet the technical debt of UBT is really paying off

I cant argue there but maybe its not really needed

or its so heavily needed that a compiler might be a better option

the trouble is that the build system and the compiler dont talk

they cant because they arnt made by the same people

[unreal ether]

I feel like a compiler doesn't really fix tech debt, it adds more.

It also doesn't solve the issue of build configurations

[thick oracle]

build system = something that calls the compiler

[pearl elk]

Im not conflating them

[thick oracle]

C++ compiler = something that translates C++ into machine code

[unreal ether]

I can't think of a single build system that also is a compiler. Cmake, makefiles, etc. all still just invoke a compiler when it's all said and done

That's not why they're shit though :P

God I hate cmake

[pearl elk]

solid point but we could use any build system if Epic had their own compiler right, we wouldnt be stuck with UHT and UBT

Id hate to be transpiling into 3 different languages, it'd get pretty confusing but aye maybe its easier for people who work at that level

[unreal ether]

Not necessarily. There's a lot of unreal specific stuff in ubt.

And I can't see a way around uht for making reflection easy in a language that doesn't have reflection

[thick oracle]

???????

[pearl elk]

A compiler for a language that has reflection perhaps... I dunno, just a thought I had conflating around

Im certainly just going to work with what I got, I was just bucket listing cuz verse for FN is not my thing

[unreal ether]

I'm gonna give verse a solid shot. Even though FP terrifies me

[pearl elk]

Been using UE for over 20 years so I dont see it changing

[unreal ether]

UnrealSharp is my saviour

[pearl elk]

the more things seem to change the more they stay the same and in this economic climate Im sure Epic will become even more risk adverse

Im certainly not oblivious to how businesses work thats even before getting into the leet speak

What Im noticing is somewhat of a critical mass in terms of proficient programmers we can have in the world at any one time. You also need to factor in team dynamics and those on teams with companies which nurture the right kinds of attitudes

Its like that saying about 2 programmers taking twice as long to do the same job as 1

Was it Roblox I saw in the Alan Wake 2 credits because they use a specific flavour of LUA

But theres also Epic Publishing so its pretty interesting

[unreal ether]

UE only I believe

[pearl elk]

Nah Verse is open

[unreal ether]

Is it?

[pearl elk]

Epic will focus on UE but nothing to stop people implementing it elsewhere

bit difficult to be the language of the metaverse if youre only supported by one game/engine

with all the hype around AI though I wonder if kiddos will even want to become game devs especially since it pays so poorly

not that AI and gamedevc are mutually exclusive just that its a hot field

If you look at what Epic does they support other engines and businesses so I dont think they are for UE taking over everything. If they go by their own morals then walled gardens are a big no no

[errant raven]

Isnt metaverse being developed by the godot developers

[unreal ether]

There is no one metaverse

[pearl elk]

multimeta, its the new multimedia

as I understand the idea is to try to create a foundation that all of these things share similar to the web but for virtual worlds

I guess Tims had this thought for a long time since Unreal 1 used urls to go between places

Im just not seeing how Verse ties into that just yet or what sorts of new protocols might be needed. My concern is it still largely relies on existing DNS which are prone to take downs by malicious actors

bit hard to read the include if it gets taken offline

Im sure he has ideas, I followed his twitter for ages but I was pretty disappointed with how Verse is as atm. Its not made for us old timers though, its made for peole who will be around when its done

I asked the question to acouple of my friends at UnrealFest. What happerns after Fortnite? and the clever answer was, look at how Fortnite has adapted and changed to the market conditions, Epic has moved with agility for a largish company.

Pretty fair but at the same time I know fads fade

If they didnt we'd all be kicking back playing with our YoYos

KH2 > Most other games (imho)

[errant raven]

Ok we dont have to fight

Kh2 is kinda mid tho

Doesnt have Aqua in it

I hope they take their time with kh4 and do everything they want to add and do.

Remove the weird social media type stuff from kh3 tho. Dont bring that back

[deep glen]

I hope (but doubt) Disney will do a more hands-off approach next time. It ruined KH3.

[errant raven]

That's disney for you

Kh4 gonna have black sora and asian kai- wait shes already asian

[chrome gull]

Heyo, I've been struggling with this for an embarrassing amount of time. Can someone tell me which of these paths are correct? (Red or Yellow?)

I have bi-directional traffic so I am very confused on how this junction should be pathed.

no this is at the end of the map

the vehicles will disappear here

(notice the blocking volume?)

😭

[errant raven]

You cant just look at different roads in real life and what not?

[median wraith]

wtf is that crap junction, that cannot be real lol

[chrome gull]

I never saw that in real life

[regal pecan]

Hopefully you never will

[chrome gull]

I KNEW it wasn't real, it makes no sense

but it's what I have and I need to make use of it 😭

[regal pecan]

Is each pair of lanes going in one direction, or are they each a two-way street?

[chrome gull]

each pair is going in one direction

the arrows you can see in the bottom are the directions for that lane

[regal pecan]

Then the red lines are most logical.

[chrome gull]

that's what I was leaning towards as well, I have a couple more of these so I'll see and experiment

[regal pecan]

Judging by the lane markings, you can only u-turn to the right.

[chrome gull]

it makes no sense to swap lanes randomly though, the vehicles will end up crashing into each other so bad

[chrome gull]

huh, that could be something, it's just so bizzare lol

where will the vehicles from the other lane go? backwards? 😭

currently my traffic signals don't work as well (bug I can't fix) so it's unmanageable

[regal pecan]

From the few videos on traffic management I've seen on youtube, a modern city planner would just slap a roundabout on it and call it done.

[median wraith]

make some tunnel or occluder thing to make the cars disapperar

don't make nightmares

or a roundabout

absorbed by the void

or a path merge but not them all at the time

https://www.granadahoy.com/2021/10/27/granada/Autovia-GR-43-formara-A-81-acabada_1623748037_146184701_1200x675.jpg

and repeat

in tree

[errant raven]

Because smart people design the roads and whoever designed that is not smart

[lime saffron]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeFFanFj/

[regal pecan]

On the contrary, it's because someone designed the roads this way once, and everyone else has since been taught to explicitly never do it that way again.

[errant raven]

Exactly

[proud jay]

Gg finished cyberpunk 2077

At least main story

I do wonder about other endings though

But not gonna waste 20 more hours figuring then out

I’ll google them

I hope spoilers work on mobile

||helped hanako arasaka take back the company, sabura arasaka took over the body of his son, I got johnny removed from my head in a space lab. Turns out I was still dying, they gave me the option to become a chip like johnny, but decided to just go back to earth and die||

Still have open panam quest though

I guess that’s just her ending though

I also have the rogue ending quest open

Wonder whether I should get phantom liberty

BM will say yes but he is a cp2077 shill

Probably paid for by arasaka

[mossy nexus]

Have they fixed the terrible long distance car LODs or the way traffic magically appears or disappears as the LODs change?

[proud jay]

haven't noticed that personally

playing on ps5

had a few bugs here and there though

and got stuck in a wall once

I ignored so much of the cyberware stuff though

I never changed my quickhacks lol

[mossy nexus]

Get a gun with a scope, look down a busy road. With everything set to Ultra the damn cars are just billboards. Bad ones at that 😄

[proud jay]

and only realized you could upgrade cyberware by the end

[errant raven]

Just about everything works on mobile, except some syntax highlighting in code blocks

[broken sigil]

play phantom liberty dlc, it's amazing
Almost like it more than the main game

[proud jay]

I knew you would say that

[broken sigil]

[proud jay]

is it 25 bucks good though

[broken sigil]

it's 60$ good even tho it costs like 30, it could have been a standalone game and I don't think people would have complained, it's that good

[proud jay]

how long is it?

[broken sigil]

20-24 ish hours

[proud jay]

wtf

[broken sigil]

tho I did do everything there is to do

[proud jay]

I just beat the whole game in < 19 hours

well, the story

I literally did 0 gigs lol

also no cyberpsychos

they just annoy me

[broken sigil]

oh you missed out a lot then, there are a ton of really good side mission
Even better in the DLC

If you play the dlc would high recommend playing the side mission in it

Raw main story of the dlc is like 10-12h would say

[proud jay]

is PL like completely separate from the main game?

I did some side missions though

[broken sigil]

it blends into the main game quite well

[proud jay]

mainly the panam stuff and the delamain crap

also the turtle dude

[broken sigil]

but the story is self contained

[proud jay]

but I should start a new save and then skip forward to PL?

[broken sigil]

you could do that, I played it from my end game save

[proud jay]

ah so that's possible and not completely imbalanced then

maybe I'll do that

I'm spending so much on games in the last 2 days 😔

[broken sigil]

You should play AW2 as well if you are into horror

[proud jay]

the biggest question of cp2077 in all to me is ||why does the circumsized penis have flopping physics in character creation and the uncircumsized one does not|| 🤔

[proud jay]

yeah bought it yesterday

together with GoW Ragnarok and Jedi survivor or whatever it's called

well now you have a fun fact for your christmas parties

[brittle holly]

I ran it through again, it was worth it

[proud jay]

well, but I literally just finished it in like 3 days, it's still quite fresh in my memory

[brittle holly]

Ah

Maybe not then

[broken sigil]

I bought Jedi survivor the other day
Gonna play it after I finish AW2 NG+

[brittle holly]

I had finished main a year or 2 ago

[proud jay]

yeah I started CP on release, actually what triggered me to get my ps5 (among others)

[brittle holly]

It keeps going on sale but down to the same price, not worth it for me just yet to deal with the perf problems

[broken sigil]

I really liked the old one so hoping this will be similar

[proud jay]

but then I quit cause the mission where ||Panam wants to take revenge on the Raffen Shiv or whatever their name is and tries to murder their whole base|| and the gameplay was just so shit on controller

[proud jay]

me too, it was not amazing, but it was pretty good, worth playing

[brittle holly]

So did I but the reviews on this say they still haven’t bothered optimizing it for pc months after its release

[proud jay]

now I did a minimal combat playthrough, mostly stealth and hacking

the bossfights were still ass though

like the ||Oda|| fight was not hard, just annoying

[proud jay]

good thing I got it on ps5 then

[brittle holly]

Yeah no issues on that end

But I don’t do consoles so… 😅

[broken sigil]

apparently it did get a little better but yeah

[proud jay]

wait I just remember, ||I saved that one guy leader from the gang with the robot that we had to steal in the start|| but I never saw him again 🤔

Brick was his name

I feel like I missed something

[brittle holly]

I did

||If you do a side mission with the reporter/rocker chick lady, it’ll come in handy ||

[proud jay]

never even noticed that mission?

I feel like I missed a lot

but it all feels more meaningless now that I finished lol

[brittle holly]

It’s the lady you can’t call until you find out she’s someone else

Just a side mission tho so 🤷‍♂️

[errant raven]

Coffee based energy drinks are gross

[brittle holly]

||I hadn’t realized Grimes was Lizzy Wizzy until this playthrough|| lol

[proud jay]

where do you even encounter her?

even after googling I have no idea lol

[errant raven]

Some answers can only be found in youtube comment sections

[brittle holly]

Did you do the Samurai concert?

[broken sigil]

Same lol

[proud jay]

you can do a concert as V?

[brittle holly]

You mean you didn’t go for the one last hurrah?

[brittle holly]

Technically as Johnny

[broken sigil]

Only when I heard ||Delicate Weapon|| was when I realized lol

[brittle holly]

We’re taking about reporter/band chick tho not Grimes now lol

[proud jay]

oh

I looked it up

I haven't done that

cause it's a follow up to the rogue quest line that I have active lol

I'm on Chippin' In on her line

[broken sigil]

I replied to the wrong message because someone sent a message at the same time as I was hitting reply

[brittle holly]

Thought you might have

[broken sigil]

was replying to this 😆

[proud jay]

so yeah I still could do some Rogue and Panam questline

[brittle holly]

I mean doing the concert was nice

[brittle holly]

You didn’t do the Panam side quest at all?

[proud jay]

up to a certain point

[brittle holly]

As long as you did the tank mission 😅

[proud jay]

||I saved Saul from a base and then there was a sandstorm and she kissed me, I think that was the last I did?||

[broken sigil]

imo the Panam one is the most "positive" ending

[proud jay]

I'm not 100% sure though

[brittle holly]

That’s a mistake lol

[proud jay]

why

wait

don't tell me if it's spoilers

[brittle holly]

Not gonna spoil that one, but def don’t want to miss that

[broken sigil]

ohhhh the taaaannnk mission... I remember that one... for no reason at alll

[proud jay]

well she did call me in distress about saul

but idk what's up

was gonna do it

but then the hanako mission triggered and I just went for it

guess I'll have to play some more

well that about fills up my 2024 gaming schedule then

see you next december for more updates

[broken sigil]

Me and Hanako apparently share the birth year, 1999 lol
She is supposed to be 78 or something like that

[proud jay]

well it is cyberpunk 2077

kinda funny that Johhny ||died|| in 2023 though

very immersive

well guess I'll buy phantom liberty then

and do the panam questline tomorrow or something

but then I have to go to the sea for a few days, so no gaemes 😔

not having to work is nice though

[broken sigil]

Kerry Eurodyne is apperently supposed to be like 80 or something
Hopefully by then we get that life extending tech 😅

[broken sigil]

you could finish the dlc and do the panam ending after

[proud jay]

maybe

[broken sigil]

well depends™️

on what you do

[proud jay]

but you say it's not really related

hmm

[broken sigil]

it depends™️

[proud jay]

cause now I'm already invested in panam

[broken sigil]

the story is self contained but can potentially affect the base game

[proud jay]

hmm

so I guess I should do panam first and then dlc?

to not fuck the base game?

[errant raven]

You're self contained

[proud jay]

I mean Saburo was like 150 years old

||and yet still lives on in his son||

[broken sigil]

you can do the dlc first, the potential side effects of the dlc are optional

[proud jay]

why is it not letting me buy the dlc in browser lol

gonna have to boot up the ps5 again now

[errant raven]

My cousin asked me what the game (kh3) I was playing was about. What do I say

Theres no easy answer

[proud jay]

How is it a 36gb download lol

[errant raven]

Better question is why

[brittle holly]

Trust me they put so much work into it, it’s got 6x more content than the latest shitty COD asset flip

[errant raven]

Why does chatgpt have a fuckin posh accent

THE BADDIES

[brittle holly]

It’s almost a whole game on its own, with multiple game modes

[errant raven]

Is he calling them inexplicably sexy or evil

[proud jay]

does the order matter at all though?

except for the possible consequences

[errant raven]

"And a bit of confusion"

Just a bit? dont wanna say alot, or a copious amount?

[broken sigil]

nope, you can play the dlc whenever

[proud jay]

ok I think I'll do panam line first then

[broken sigil]

you get a random call after like 50% of the game, when you accept the call the dlc starts

[proud jay]

cause I don't like to be running a lot of story lines at once

[brittle holly]

50% of main story more like

[broken sigil]

yeah^

[proud jay]

I have 54% completion according to my playstation

[brittle holly]

DLC triggers after Voodoo Boys

[proud jay]

of the whole game

seems like a lot of stuff triggers after the voodoo boys

[broken sigil]

my current "schedule" is AW2 NG+, Star Wars and then a rerun of cyberpunk

[proud jay]

||I never got to see Evelyn again after saving her from that BD thing though||, did I miss that too?

I'm gonna try to finish cp first, then AW, and then either GoW or jedi but I'll see that then

[brittle holly]

I missed the cyberware pickup in the DLC and I didn’t want to mod the game just to get it

[proud jay]

I pretty much ignored most cyberware lol

[errant raven]

The main villain is this one guy who is also like, this other guy, who died and became 2 more guys who traveled in time to get himself 3 more times, while also taking the hero guy and making him evil, while the good guy version is still kicking, good main guy dies and splits off into like 3 people, turns out he has a fake heart, plus his friends heart who hes been looking for the entire span of 6 games. Basically someone is usually someone else who is a counterpart of someone else as something else

[proud jay]

shit's expenside though

especially after I paid back Vik out of the goodness of my heart

[brittle holly]

I missed her the second time but I think cause that’s related to Jesus guy which I skipped because first time I went a bit too far, waiting for the game to stop me lol

[proud jay]

Jesus guy as in the guy spamming my phone?

or someone else?

[brittle holly]

The convict guy

[broken sigil]

there is a really good one if you do the || || ending
And another in the || 👽 || part

[errant raven]

Guy with key beats older guy with bigger key

[proud jay]

you really are trying to make me see I missed like 70% of the game

[brittle holly]

Well I would’ve gotten it but I missed the loot and then it’s closed off

[errant raven]

and also a item that had no name or image and a value of 1 eddie

thanks CDPR

[broken sigil]

[brittle holly]

Let’s just say I felt really guilty the first playthrough because I didn’t expect the game to just let you do that kind of stuff 😅

[broken sigil]

I saw that perk, but didn't get it cause I never melee

[broken sigil]

I'm doing it wrong

[proud jay]

youtube added a new feature that if in the video they say press the like button, it actually highlights the like button

it's wild

same with "please subscribe" and the sub button

[broken sigil]

it's a top of the line one, and it recharges with each kill

[proud jay]

overall, I have to say I enjoyed CP2077 a lot more now that 2 years ago

idk if it's because of the game or because of me though

Then how will I learn?

[light cedar]

Hm

So maybe it will send only mistakes that you must fix yourself

[errant raven]

My mistake is literally just a slight math error

And pieces cant capture each other

[light cedar]

Oh

Gain some real experience

[glacial owl]

Stop listening to pleb music then

[errant raven]

Die artze, montreal and ITCHY is not pleb music

I read only pleb

[glacial owl]

You are striving for quick satisfaction

[errant raven]

I'm striving for a working shitty chess game

[light cedar]

Its hard not to do it nowadays

[glacial owl]

Thats why you are bad at chess too. Learn to hold your breath over the horizon

[glacial owl]

“Hard” when this animal is not even hunting his own food

[light cedar]

Its hard to avoid it so

I mean every app tries to hold my attention in it

Btw, Good night

How come humans are still the apex predator (?

[errant raven]

Only on land, are we the apex predator

We dont have shit on sharks

[regal pecan]

Fishing boats are the apex predator of the sea

Slaughterhouses the apex predator of land

But at least we have no claim on aerial predation.

[brittle holly]

Right, take a pissed off whale or a great white shark against a fishing boat, should be entertaining

[errant raven]

Aeroplanes.

Birds go in engine. Feathers come out

I don't think that counts. It's also not common enough.

Peak air superiority

My chess ai cheats and plays some moves for me

That's what it feels like, holy fuck it is so slow

And the ai is dumb. It only has a depth of 2. And even that is taking so long

Could be worth ignoring moves with lower values and only look at moves with the higher values since lower values wont get used anyways

Like I learned in Sebastian lagues recent chess video with one of the engine applicants

WOO I LEARNT

Yeah python

Wait it isnt my search method that's slow, it's the chess modules .push method 🗿

Console gets sent the print call of the best move the alphabeta pruning function finds then that gets fed to the .push() method. Which is where it starts slowing down, window stops responding

It now has a depth of 100 million

It now has a fatal crash error

Yes

Takes in board, loops through each possible position, each time it takes away from the set depth limit until it reaches 0

Then takes best move and passes it to be played

Ok it is my code that makes it slow

Turns out that plane I complained about being too loud was because it was crashing.. rip

[pearl elk]

And you didnt call the ambulance

https://tenor.com/view/disappointment-gif-21343121

[errant raven]

Changed depth to 10 and it's been 6+ minutes. Still hasn't made its move yet.

It turned my king side knight into a black knight to attack my rook..

[pearl elk]

rookie mistake

[errant raven]

The smartest chess engine that's ever lived

Oh so it convert my knight but if I take it it says no you cant do that it's illegal and closes

Double standards

[pearl elk]

This is why I play SupCom 😛

[errant raven]

It was going so slow because of me being dumb and asking it to find the max and min value at the same time

Still gotta implement other stuff to make it smarter

[empty dune]

should have played the bulgarian somersault

I wonder why rewards in game are different to store or flybuys type reward point systems

[cyan fractal]

children don't tend to have frequent flyer cards

[pearl elk]

they dont tend to have credit cards either

Im just thinking if I was a parent paying for all that in game currency some cheap wine as a reward would be good to drown my sorrows 😛

[median wraith]

There are rewards that force you to login in row each day forcing the person to be playing

paid store elements are when you want

There are F2P games that even give you better rewards the more days in row you login

is gambling in other level

[pearl elk]

Yeah I get those are very annoying and dont really do a whole lot but I just wasnt sure how the rewards for ingame purchases are any different to what Steam and EGS are doing currently

Steam gives you credits based on spend and EGS gives you "cash" back

[median wraith]

well those crddits goes nowhere on steam

[pearl elk]

under these Chinese regulation both of these platforms might be in trouble

[median wraith]

on epic is to get people to the store, same way of the free games

[pearl elk]

but then we got similar rewards in retail shopping here so I dont think its fair to regulate digital any differently

Im definitely okay with getting rid of all this grindy pay to play crap

but loyalty points are generally a good thing for consumers since you get atleast alittle something back

[median wraith]

i get candy when i purchase hardware in here

that's like the steam thing, go nowhere is a funny thing

Epic is more like the refer systems on banls etc that pay you

[pearl elk]

We get lollypops when we do an order of meat

at Drakes you get Hotwheels cars

kids are always into those things, maybe it does feed a certain addictive type of personality. Collecting things seems so important when youre young, then you get old and realise theres no digital pyramid to bury all your stuff in

I think Im just gonna give my Steam away to someone, I dont want it to be a tomb

ban me for what? Im dead

dig me up and take me to court

Gabe wont out live me anyways so we'll see how those TOS goes 😛

Cant believe people are being let go from companies so close to the holiday break

I find it difficult to get in the holiday spirit when every game is snowing

is there not a single southern hemisphere game 😦

It snowing right now...first snowy christmas in years 😅

[pearl elk]

I cant believe we are so lucky yet we still feel the need to squeeze the joy out of everything

Do you really though? I like to think there is an acceptable amount of middle ground where everyone can still get what they need

I definitely appreciate hard decisions have to be made but with all the money we spend on HR (or whatever the hip term is this week) you would think we could create better work culture

Thats why we made BCIs so we can regulate employee moods

Who needs a personality when it hurts productivity

Next year we can save even more money by printing "Youre Fired!" in the Christmas cards

I dunno if sending a PDF uses more or less energy tbh

I guess we might save 1 tree

Actually while we are at it we should remove all the toilet paper to save trees

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/wetin-gif-19023458

[pearl elk]

People waste too much time in the toilet anyway, so its better if they dont use them while working

The toilet space can be used to make relaxation hubs

[cursive crypt]

Sand is a good option.

Bury your stuff.

[pearl elk]

incase people feel stressed, but its frowned upon to use them

[celest musk]

imagine you raise your kid just to realize one day that it spent it's skills to hack ubisoft...

also what's meant by "administration realized something was off"?

did the hacker fix bugs?

i would rather watch my little pony (again) than wasting time on ubisoft

[cursive crypt]

I dunno what is to steal. Code is the same, assets are near the same. Ubis games are all the same.

[timber viper]

engines are pretty good

snowdrop > ue

[cursive crypt]

SDL > UE

[celest musk]

yea, but is it worth it? you can't really make a game with them

[timber viper]

you can sell it on black market

for a very high price

[celest musk]

but who would wanna buy it other than other companies?

[timber viper]

indeed, SDL? @cursive crypt

[timber viper]

well it didnt take long for someone to buy red engine source code 😄

[celest musk]

how much did they pay for it?

red engine is what witcher and cyberpunk was made with, right?

[timber viper]

ye

they use bison for witcherscript

[celest musk]

alright, those might be interesting for the modding community...

do ubisoft games get modded at all?

[timber viper]

its my 3rd time seeing it on a game engine

[timber viper]

real thing there is

tech theft

[cursive crypt]

Its my bazillion time seeing it used.

[celest musk]

yea that's the only motivation i could see behind this

and modding eventually
