In 2022, Unity had 7,703 employees.
Assuming no one died of simply being at unity, 4,603 remain.
maybe the real layoffs were the calculations we couldnt do along the way
+1 for the CEO which left
That wasn't a human being, so doesn't count.
man why does making a game take so long? why cant i just tell someone else to do the boring bits so i can do the fun stuff??
Because fun is work.
But, if it helps, you CAN hire 1,800 people looking for work now. ๐
In other news, FLAT2VR has been released for PC.
So many Unreal games can be played in VR now.
Should I link the article? or would that be spam?
@chrome gull oi, youre jobless, do my game dialogue ๐
(this is a joke)
Are you sure it's a joke? ๐
That's what chatgpt is for, right?
no, that's from a german company
no, its for sending me down code rabbit holes that doesnt exist
pretty much one of the first consumer grade shutter glasses
Tell you what, they look more comfortable than a VR headset.
Is it true VR?
pretends he knows what the hell he's talking about
what it did was render frames for the left/right eye one after another and shut off one eye in the same moment
so it created the illusion of 3D
Cool. Any headaches from prolonged use?
yea, but also the games back then had bad graphics, idk how it would be nowadays
i am playing Fallout 4 ๐ก
totally for game research purposes
my point stands
not jobless
my point can also sit if you like
pffft if you crack these lame ass jokes in your game, it's gonna tank so hard
That's why I am holding back from buying a headset. With my GTX 970M, I'd have to turn down shadows and AA and I am not sure my head would be comfy with lower quality graphic settings.
yea, that unreal game mod just reminded me of those things
atleast it wouldnt heavy
If you can't successfully build a slightly bonkers Vault, then your research will have failed, @chrome gull . research goals
๐
so basically the z-depth in games was available since 3D games are a thing
so doesn't surprise me that there are mods which make almost any game compatible
oh yes yes I am building a very evil vault
Or pretending to, at least, only to abandon it like any other game dev project.
๐
There was something I read about VR a while ago, which said that sustained use of VR improves the user's vision (if you have powered spectacles) because of zero focal length or something. I guess that never panned out, because there were no other articles thereafter on the subject.
sounds suspiciously close to propaganda
Might as well be, without follow-up.
i would rather expect the opposite xD
All the people doing it to improve their vision have gone blind and can no longer write articles.
if you use it long term it will probably mess with your perception
If only the world were in 3d, man.
since everything can be sharp, which it wont be in reality (like with 0 brain/etc effort)
there's a new star trek game?
whats it called? dont say timelines
I can maybe pull a tiny sliver of truth from that statement, only way I can see it beneficial in any way is that if you have adjusted it to your eyes correctly you won't be putting strain on your eyes.... but that doesn't account for the damage done by being blasted by blue light which is known to cause eye damage
I won't then.
i think sleep might be better for the eyes ๐
......it is timelines isnt it
You told me not to say it. ๐
also isn't the whole blue light thing kinda wonky theory
i was an early backer of that goddamned project. it had so much potential
instead it turned into the final boss of gacha gaming
I am really hoping those nanite-eyedrops pan out.
They're supposed to correct and improve your vision by 200%.
Of course, that might be fake too.
Most of them do, but that's kind of okay on mobile gaming, I think.
For serious gaming, I'd always use DA PEE SEE!!!!
im so goddamned bitter about timelines. the devs straight up lied to the backers for years
i dont even know if the same devs still work on it
i think that studio closed
It's known that it affects your sleep pattern
Eyes let more blue light through than any other frequency/color of light so that extra light has potential to damage the eyes over long periods
Bug how much does this actually damage the eyes no clue 
its known that blue light harms the retina. its the how much part that is still wonky
also i didn't do any real research
i think one issue with Bluelight might be that it goes in the UV spectrum, and therefor natural safety measurements start to fail
its definitely not "youll go blind in 5 years" like the lens companies say but its not "i dont need to worry about this" either
as light which you can't "see" doesn't immediatly feel threatning
while you would close your eyes eventually if it was on another spectrum
and i actually noticed a significant difference between my old CCFL LCD and the new LED one
and i wish the CCFL one didn't break ๐
as it felt subjective less straining
man, why do we not get built in infrared vision?
it would be so cool
fucking bees get it ffs
seeing your neighbor poop?
maybe we do have IR vision
but perceive it different ๐
.....no i meant like those military thermal vision goggles
as visual perception doesn't have any natural benefits anymore
im still salty octopus eyes are considered the best eyes in evolutionary history
why not humans?
octopus?
wasn't it mantis shrimp? ๐

i do not like this
and our food gets to see it
You know what's even better? Humans are stuck with the old prehistoric type of eyes 
That's why we have a blind spot, it's where the optic nerve leaves the eye
Birds and I believe reptiles have a "newer generation" ๐
yeah i know
i hate it
we have a blind spot?
I liked this video. Good naration. You could almost pretend it was god Morgan Freeman.
half of our eyesight problems are because we just have a shi**y old version of eyes ๐
yes, I was terrified when I found it by accident 12 ish years ago lmao
i found it yesterday when i stumbled over my flower pot
i wanna punch whoever made us.
They spent all the character trait points on Brain power and dumped everything else
Where the optic nerve connects to the retina is the blind spot.
you can find it easily, close your left eye, put your finger in front of your right eye (about 15-20 cm in front), look behind the finger and slowly move your finger to the right until (don't follow the finger) your finger disappears
Should be somewhere at around 15 degrees
we dont get any cool hardwares except a brain that gives anxiety and depression
some people didn't even get the brain points ๐
does this work reliable for you?
i cant do it xD
yes ๐
does a significant portion of the finger disappear?
like is it cut at some point?
i look straight at the screen and focus on a word, so that should keep my focus away from the finger?!
like the top is gone and you will see something weird where your brain tries to fill in what should be there
try this, look at the X with your right eyes and slowly move towards your screen until the dot disappears
might be easier
yea i might have found it
you need to be right in front of the X with your eye, like lined up
15 is average I believe, so somewhere around that
or even more
mine is about exactly 15
like i'm already 20-30cm left of my head until that starts
doing it with the left eye
almost out of peripheral vision field
like mine is about here
maybe my eyes are already so bad that my brain makes up all the shit
and i think it's fine ๐
for my left it's here
๐
I remember finding it for the first time, it gave me a panic attack lol
ik that feel, when stuff like this happens i go to bed and call it a day...
Or my first migraine was terrifying
Suddenly got a whole bunch of these weird symbol looking things in my vision, weird sparks, tunnel vision, could barely see anything and on top of that looks like I was looking through broken glass
But blacking out still beats it on the list of most terrifying experiences
Sitting with waterfall/static noise sound in my ears and close to 0 vision and a pulse I couldn't feel for about 2 minutes before finally waking up on the floor
that wasn't fun
in fact it sucks, wouldn't recommend, rather play alan wake 2 or something
nah, i guess migraine is better than AW2
everyone needs to play AW2 
How can you say no to this 
there are some better ones I can't post because... spoilers
it's almost as dark as my future
lol
so the whole game is a spoiler
like this
I have something for that, sec
I now need a universe in which Sam Lake and Hideo Kojima make slilent hill together

@empty dune
wtf
i first thought he was lifting that thing with the force
but the more i look at that image the more questions i have
that fricking video reminds me of hardcore minecraft packs -_-
Sometimes they die funny due to collision
lol
good video though
1/3rd of it is just narrating patreon lol
same, it made me realise the avatar game simultaneously has a very good and a very bad crafting system
it nails the gathering portion, it is like one of the highlights of the game
stuff like this ๐
but absolutely screws everything up in the synthesis part
like the synthesis is just a bunch of meaningless numbers
but the gathering is so......involved. its sooo good
it's so dark I will trip and fall...NOT convinced on this game
the hell does that even make? a fission reactor??
a rainbow generator
iirc it uses all 16 other generators of the same mod to produce an insane amount of power
The Rainbow Generator! is a tile entity added by Extra Utilities 2. It produces 25 million Redstone Flux per tick (RF/t) while all other 16 generators from Extra Utilities 2 are active.
riddle me this batman, if nuclear reactors are water cooled then why do they explode? ๐ง
@sand oxide oh god, fluffy paradise is such a cutesplosion!
it's because creepers blow up stuff

O please! If you have no idea how to get your code to work, then you're most certainly not a worshipper of the Omnissiah. The FIRST thing a true devotee of the Adeptible Mechanicable learns is in the first line of chapter ONE - ALL CODE IS A FUNCTION OF COPIOUS OIL AND PROPERLY CHANTED PRAYERS.

Oh no

Especialy me

It was okay.

damn.... after a heavy rain, 12 hours without internet. With games being bought in digital copies and saves stored in the cloud, impossible to play...
I got Doom on dvd...but it's just a cd key inside
So, like a 4kb text file?
No like a flyer with the key on it lol
hi
I was immediately thinking of the game as well lol
how shit is your internet that it goes out by heavy rainfall though
My ISP is so shit, that it goes out for minutes and sometimes half an hour at a stretch for no reason whatsoever.
I've lost a bit of money because of that, too.
maybe a tree broke the cables somewhere
They simply say, "Not our problem." Welcome to India. ๐
Actually, the company in question was almost liquidated because of their crappy services previously.
this is why you put cables under the ground
change isp?
None available.
The others are mobile ISPs and they aren't good for the work I do.
They are fine otherwise.
Nay, say I! This place is heaven sans reliable internet.
and what is so hellish about it? also what is so bullish about it?
is this guy living in the stock market?
hi
There is a famous temple town. There're people from all over the world here. Everyone speaks English with varying degrees of fluency - which is awesome in a country with 33+ distinct languages. It's clean, well-planned, not polluted except by dust, and there's lots of space of walk around too.
More importantly, people are just nice. ๐
I am a bullish market investor. ๐ The current Indian sensex is a great for investing.
Also, fie on you for being moonish. You MUST be sunnish.
โ
what is the termp for when stock go down fast
opposite of moonish for example
skyrocketing for official investment advice right
I have a friend that still believes in it, and he also has BBBY stock (which is now bankrupt) and he really thinks it's a government cover up and that he's gonna get millions back for it
he's not really my friend anymore
really gone down the deep end since GME
hehe.
well it was funny, not really anymore though
IMO, most of the losses that people report online and in newspapers from investing in the stock market, comes from investing in options and derivatives without understanding how either work.
I find it a bit sad to see
but nothing I can do about it
that's why I just do ETFs
peace of mind
and mostly goes up
(the normal ones)
In my three years of investing in standard equities, I've lost only 10% of my investment and gained roughly 50-70% or so.
so you gained 40%?
And THAT 10% loss was entirely of my own making, with full knowledge that it was a gamble.
No, I gained 70%. The 10% loss was on a smaller amount in the very beginning.
that's a strange way to describe investing
I would only look at the full long term picture really
Long-term XIRR is 12.5% p.a.
some invest houses for long term investment too
Perhaps. I consider speculation to be basically gambling, investing without knowledge.
My 'speculations' are all based on very reliable sources of information, hence my 50-70% returns.
BUT, to be very fair, it depends on which market (country) you are in too.
what
you mean investment firms buy houses?
cause there's a verb missing there
reliable source of information
bhahaha
dieter not just investment firms but some entrepeneurs invest to houses then rent them
No, not insider info. Just reliable information by analysts and people who can spot trends.
@summer cedar what you know of staking?
killing vampires?
๐คท thanks.
I met the unlucky fate of one whose investment was all reinforced from many professionals and good news from the company itself. They lost like 90% of their multi-year investment because company suddenly failed.
getting the stake what then grows perhaps
for example?
Dang. Was it a lot of $$$?
yes, your sentence was just not clear to me cause it was missing a verb
Yep, near $100k - it was devastating. My point is, if it was easy, everyone would have done it. Even seasoned traders burn daily.
you assume a lot dieter
what did I assume?
I really don't have the time to look at all company numbers and predictions for every little stock
ETF is da way
Sorry to hear that.
the crypto seems adding proof of stake lately or web3 in general
I only buy individual stock in companies that I believe in personally
and not that big amounts tbh
didn't eth2.0 already do PoS?
Yeah, I learned quickly to stay away from funds and such.
It's always better to thump $$$ in the equity directly.
dieter lots of things adding the staking now what is there sure
by fund you mean from an investment firm or bank or also ETFs?
cause a lot of ETF have minimal costs
and even more beneficial to me if they are accumulating instead of turning out dividend, since capital gains are not taxed here, but dividends are
it's not capital gains until you cash out, hence no tax
In my country, I avoid everything except equities. It's more profitable that way.
BUT, several people do invest in other instruments because they don't have the time for analysis, research, etc. Their returns are proportionately small, unless they wait for the long-term, in which case XIRR is 12.5% so far.
well money that you never use is not very useful though
yea but that's the thing with accumulating funds and such
but like I said, (for now) there is no capital gain tax in belgium
it goes straight back in tax free
there is some staking in investment what grow over the years what some investment on nordnet say its one of the miracles
any other kind of tax then?
S&P is like 7% annual taking inflation into account
like, when you cash out
Yep. I normally sell at 30% profit as a principle.
It saves me from looking at my phone EVERYDAY.
historically speaking, recently even more
we have 0.35% tax on broke when you buy or sell, and 30% tax on dividends
My bank offers 5-6%...all I need now is like 400k euros in the bank ๐ฅน
but that is before inflation
there was in finland one who elisa bought the phone operators stocks go out what need to be transformed by certain date
but surely if you sell your securities then you pay some tax?
most banks are like 1%
Which country is this?
except for the 0.35%
WE ARE THE EU
Romania. But inflation is like 10% ๐
come fight me @ brussels
time to nuke brussels
Everything wrong with EU is Brussels fault
there's plenty of places with no capital gains tax tbh
we have to pay immediately when we sell something
Nice. We have 2.5-4% in India. The savings interest varies according to the account holder's age and other applicable schemes.
Euro deposits are like 1.25%
But, fixed deposits give you 7.25% for now.
30% tax on capital gains over here
I imagine that'll reduce a lot as the Indian economy grows.
the belgian stock market is dog shit though
idk why people would ever invest to it
BEL20 made a loss last year lol
as in it lost value
a year ago or so we got the option of getting a "Equity savings account". Inside that all trades and whatever are completely tax free until you move money out of the account.
If you can invest in India, try to get infrastructure stocks, especially power and railways. The CAPEX investment by the government is through the roof and will be so for the next decade or so.
I think foreign investment is allowed in the form of MFs or so.
here in finland the Telekarelia and Kymen Puhelin stocks owners might loose they shares on 12/4/2024 if not move those shares to Elisa
Why might they lose their shares? Some merger or dissolution underway?
this is like the american 401k I guess?
elisa bough those companies
no idea what yanks have
where I think you can buy stock directly with gross pay in there
and only taxed on gains on exit
there's another catch, you can only deposit 50k euros on it
Don't you get shares in the parent company in the case of a merger, as a shareholder in the subsidiary?
or did they just raise it to 100k? ๐ค
windus seems they have being able to keep the shares on company not the parent company yet
if there's a merger either you are paid out the price of the shares at purchase price or you should get stock equivalent in parent
you can't just lose stocks like that
except if they are bankrupt
If they lose their shares, I'd be totally like, "WTF?!!!!!"
The subsidiary's shareholders ought to get shares in the holding company in some proportion.
My retirement plan is basically reverse mortgage. Hope they implement it here in 20 years
what's that
I knew what that was a while ago. I forgot. ๐
there is offer for parent company shares
They pay you money monthly then when you die they take your house
oh
--- A reverse mortgage is a home loan that you do not have to pay back for as long as you live in your home. It can be paid to you in one lump sum, as a regular monthly income, or at the times and in the amounts you want. The loan and interest are repaid only when you sell your home, permanently move away, or die. --
I don't want the bank to take my house lol
I'd rather leave it to my children though
You can leave your second house to them
they'll never be able to get a house of their own if it continues like this
how many houses do you think I have
(the answer is 0 at the moment)
Shh. Say 10.
I would only ever do this if I was financially struggling in retirement
but I plan to not do that
That method was actually meant for financially struggling people, actually.
You wanted some kind of regular income and that was the 'best' way to get it, in their situation.
We still have public pensions. Apparently better then ETFs in the long term
how is it better?
we have public pension, but I don't count on it being there when I retire lol
As long as you live
cause our retirement works on the money of the next generation, not the money you make yourself
Same here...it might just dissappear
Here, the public pension is called NPS - National Pension System. You can configure your contribution's alllocation among Equity, Corporate Deposits, Government Deposits, and recently, Real Estate.
I'm planning with that in mind that I will never see proper pension from gvt
I have private pension savings, pension savings through employer and of course just regular investment
Of course, I'd be one of the first people to be paid from this pension system. ๐ค
Thankfully, my XIRR in stocks is a bit higher than that of my NPS stock investment. ๐
Same, but what you contribute now you get paid then
Congrats. I am sitting on one or two 380%.
here pension investment mostly underperforms market
cause they have very strict rules
but you also get some tax benefits
all the money you put in you get 30% back as tax deductible
in absolute terms it's only few hundred euros ๐
roughly $10,000 here.
I'll be happy if I can get the whole lot to a $100k.
its me ur brother
I've been losing on gains cause I have to save to buy a stupid house
yea I don't even dream of numbers like that
(it's not actually stupid though)
Don't consider what you are saving for a particular purpose to be a loss.
It's another investment set aside for a reason.
You invest with other spare cash.
I found a nice house for 150k, right at the edge of the forest...just needs another 50k in fixing up
I already have a fairly rich brother.
Don't need you. Shoo! ๐
But I have great game ideas
you think I have spare cash after downpayment?
I'll accept even a spare $.
too bad they're all euros
cents are cents
๐คฃ
problem is I don't have a view on the full price atm, just estimations
since we're building it
so costs could be higher than estimated
I'd advise looking at investing in developing countries - if that's allowed by your country's laws - actually.
so nothing is "spare cash" untill the house is finished
There're are lucrative opportunities, if it's allowed.
And converting your spare euro into that country's currency gets you a decent investment over there.
afaik I can invest in any country I want
the only geo limitation I have is that my company does not allow me to work remotely from china, cuba or syria
but that's not related to investing
through foreign funds (MF) or directly in foreign equities?
both
Cool!
๐คฃ
I wish I would, they get paid shit tons and don't even have to show up ๐
That's why they became politicians. They're the really smart ones.
Work, shmurk, pffft!
pretty sure the chances to be a politician increase exponentially with every family member you have that is already in politics
Yep. Oldest marriage advice: Marry up!
Yes and no. Mostly no.
Gone are the days of saying, "Marry them OR ELSE..." though.
sad news for incels
Are castes still a thing?
where?
The few palaces that remained since 1947 were converted to tourism attractions and five-star hotels.
lol
I read some emigrants changed their name to avoid a caste, but I just dont get how or why it works lol
Or it matters
Castes are a political instrument for a powerless party to rake up stupid conflicts.
Otherwise, the only time it comes up is when a poor guy is being abused by a richer guy.
Caste is defined by how much money you have, today.
Yeah. India just gave it proper labels. ๐คฃ
hi
This is in some of the undeveloped border areas, where superstitions still apply because the local council wishes to hold sway over everyone else. Also, if you have the 'right' name, you can benefit from 'caste-specific-welfare' schemes instituted by stupid local governments in that area.
Usually, that stuff is put down by the central government pretty quickly, when it appears in the public eye.
I accidentally put 4 times to much salt in my last bread
I thought what is the worst thing that could happen
spoiler, it ruins the entire bread
not only does it taste salty af, but is also didn't rise for shit
umm... wasn't the magical rising powder supposed to be 'yeast'?
yes
but the mixture with the salt ruins it
don't ask me the details man
I just speak from experience
Try desert salt instead. You can ruin it with LESS.
Its pita bread now
no
I'm just gonna eat the few slices now to not starve, but will bake a new one later today
and throw this into the trash where it belongs
Use a dip of any kind. It should ameliorate the saltiness a tad.
Use the bread as a base for something else, let the something else balance out the salt.
what do you put bread in
I know lots of Mediterranean dishes use cubed bread as a topping for things, so it soaks up all the sauce, but also bakes on top
Could also make croutons with them
Cube then and bake them on low until they've dried out a lot
that's a whole lot of effort for something I don't even want
Not necessarily in but under, a stew or casserole or whatever on top of a slice or two. Don't add salt to the stew etc, potatoes love salt so much they can suck of some [ ideal if you make something like a soup too salty] just think outside the box ๐
wtf kind of gourmet shit do you guys think I make
do I look like I have 2 hours every day to cook
Slow cookers etc can do all that cooking while you sleep, work, or play lol
Stick unused stuff in the fridge. Food for tomorrow.
I mean.. you baked bread..
I also sometimes (when I have the freezer space) like to make a big pot of some tasty, slightly more involved dish, portion it out and freeze it
Way less effort than bread :P
If I fancy something like chicken paprikash, there will always be portions to freeze
Spend the effort once, and then my next time's having it can just go in the microwave with virtually no quality loss
I use diced bread while cooking black rice, in my digital pressure cooker.
Like ACuppa said, it's awesome to soak up water.
For tastier options, tofu and cottage cheese cubes do better.
Don't really eat rice outside of white rice, but when I do, some chickpeas or toasted vermicelli are very good in rice

Right. Souvenirs from Jersey beach they are; not skulls at all, at all.
There was a creator/employee of Games Workshop or someone like that, who made a post about how Warhammer 40k actually dealt with religion and peoples' blind belief in dogma and a god figure, and how Games Workshop had buried that entire aspect over time.
I was like, "NO! We love Warhammer 40k b'cuz HEAVY BOLTER!!!!"
they were not wrong, wh40k was and still is satire
True. But we worship the heavy bolter.
Facts matter. ๐
I love the actor's rendition of the Emperor's voice.
you mean the heavy flamer. Vulkan lives
Stomp stomp
I found the flamer underwhelming in Inquisitor Martyr.
But, that was because I was already spoiled by the Heavy Bolter.
flamers are underwhelming in pretty much every wh40k game except for chaosgate daemonhunters
I wonder why, though. ๐ค With a range upgrade, they ought to be just as good as heavy bolters and sadistically melt every enemy away.
idk, flamers just suck in most 40k games
only one that was satisfying was the one i mentioned
God bless Lego.
also the best flamethrower ive ever seen in a video game was from aliens dark descent
that game is seriously innovative
there's no cone bullshit, you literally get to paint out an area and then the flame comes out
hi
Heyyo I loved the game
Did it make its own genre or we had it before
Squad extraction strategy
im pretty sure its like its own genre at this point
i love the stealth system. theoretically you can clear out the entire map but ammo and morale says Bonjour
it makes you feel capable but threatened at the same time
I hate it when a game makes you run out of ammo constantly
I guess if it's a survival thing, I understand
stealth was too stressful ๐ I had some intense moments with it though
but so many games do that little ammo BS
I do want to replay on hard
you dont run out, your soldiers will panic long before that. and these soldiers are BRAVE
||and then there's Fallout 4, I found 1324 rounds on a single enemy||
I think the latest patch can skip you the prologue as well as fixed some bugs that didn't allow you to rest...it was extra hard
ah no no I'm talking in general
ikr? its a really damn good game
You know, almost everyone I chatted with on Discord complained about the lack of ammo in Starfield. On my very first run, I put just ONE skill point in scavenging (ammo find bonus) and I NEVER ran out of ammo. At level 48, I have almost 6,000 rounds in multiple guns.
To be fair, I never completed a single quest/story mission. ๐
yeah, I did something similar in FO4 too, they just shower you with ammo
All I ever did was explore. Even now.
Ammo scarcity done right is immersive
Ammo scarcity done wrong is just annoying
like 1000s of rounds
best of 2023
I don't want them ;-;
what are you exploring for this long lol
real underrated gem
Planet after planet, actually. I know many of the PoI(s) are duplicates, but it never threw me off.
i took notes the entire time i played it
I always like resident evil 7 for that one. Ammo was always scarce enough that I was actively trying to conserve it, but not too scarce to the point I never used my weapons.
it was great to learn level design
Same with Metro (especially Exodus)
they also added new game+ with your marines starting at the previous levels. I think I made it with some to 7-8 but they lost some hands and legs lol
Of course, I then found out that the game basically crashes if a single run goes too long. ๐
My game has started stuttering now. ๐ I am sure it'll crash soon.
damn, it threw me off so hard
lol
huh? really?
Yeah.
People didn't find out until recently, because they were transitioning from NG to NG.
uh oh, I am running a Fallout 4 playthrough rn that will take a long time to finish
Say with the hand cannon in resident evil 7.
There were only like 14 rounds for it in the whole game, or something else stupidly low, but reserving them felt awesome, and it was terrifying if you'd wasted them and needed them later.
One of those guns where I always made sure to place my shot really really well
Now, they are complaining. ๐
Yeah metro is amazing at it.
I also liked their dynamic of "Sure, you can use some more powerful ammo, but that's also what you use to trade ๐คท"
horizon zero dawn also does that, i like it
Yes, ammo scarcity should be accompanied by viable alternatives of gameplay.
Basically, give me viable kung fu.
play it too long and you'll have lots of everything
Never got far in exodus though ๐ฅฒ
Bought it on xbox when it came out, switched to pc, rebought it there, but heard it ran horrendously even on an RTX 2070, so I didn't bother wasting the disk space on installing it
Dang, I used viable twice. Bad language skillz. ๐
Manufacturing your ammo on-the-fly is nice, so long as ingredients aren't scarce and badly distributed.
I played it for 5 hours and I was already reaching a point where running out of arrows was just a long button press away
it runs amazingly, what are you talking about?
They must have fixed it up since. This was like a month or so after release
it ran at 1080p60 @ High on an RX 580
Sort of forgot it existed when the hype died down
ohhhh
fair enough
it's a really good game
weirdly has a special place in
uhh
basically I am fond of it
I got to the ||deserty bit not long after you get the train, then quit||
that's halfway through
Exodus as in Metro: Exodus or Exodus: Become the Traveller?
The ||spider section in the beginning was absolutely horrific||
Metro
Metro: Exodus
Oh yeah, it ran fine for me too.
I had to tell my arachnophobia to stfu
Oh was it?
I never spoiled that game for myself given I inteded to finish it, because I love metro
Yeah, I liked it. I didn't finish it though, since there were SO MANY other games to play.
starts Gothic music
A M E N
yep
you should at some point imo
you were there
I did that at the beginning of the first DLC of that game :))
hey windus, you can help me. bonkers here thinks nobody does pc game dev in india except for like 5 people. help him see the light. set him free
not literally 5 people bruh
๐คฃ
why is there a Hell button?
Have you played 1971: Indian Naval Front?
Hey I think this game has micro transactions
If so, how is it?
It's a game mode that spawns infinite amounts of enemies and your goal is to kill as many as you can before your tower is destroyed
My BP is 74 million
I think.
It said 74,000,000k+
Idk what the extra numbers after 74 was but it calls everything k
Must be a weird currency format from another country
74 billion. not million
k is 1000, its an american word
Billion has 9 zeros
Even 1 has a k
i give up
3,600 thousand?
I know
so anythingk= anything *1000
This is correct, but looking at the screenshot, I think the dev is just bad at numbering stuff.
Yes
nah, if youre talking about the decimal, its the EU way
The usage of M there is what throws a spanner in the cogs.
No, I am referring to the 2.832M there.
European way is making shit overcomplicated just to call Americans stupid for doing the exact same thing but simpler
Everything makes sense now
Given that, the usage of k in the other places would be wrong.
yes, thats 2832 million. that is 2832*1 million
its a stupid way of writing
i agree
but its not incorrect
It's a stupid wanna be gotcha game
Half the game mechanics are locked behind a paywall
Some are things you can do with an auto clicker
So 161,850K is 161,850 X 1000 and 2,832M is 2,832 x 1,000,000?
That's so braindead
Well, this is one screwed up dev.
Or someone who likes numbers way damn too much.
Almost near fetish-levels.
you can tell its about right by looking at the dollar prices
We must purge this dev and this game.
In that order.
Brothers, bring forth the bolters!
@errant raven And what do you use all this inflation-ridden gold for?
Very expensive upgrades
I looked at the dev teams website. It literally looks like it's being held together by pure html
And theres a button that doesnt work
Heresy!
Doesnt say anything about the team, or much of anything. Just images of the 4 games they made and links off to google play for you to install
i never asked, which chapter/legion?
I am a supported of Titus in Space Marines.
So, Ultramarines I guess.
eyyy
Reason: Very ultra. Very marine.
Ultramarine bros
Boo
my pfp is Guilliman lmao
I wish YouTube would fix their fucking mobile app
why?
I think that's your phone's problem
No. It only happens on youtube
works for me
fun fact, ultramarines are out of lore named after the color of their armor, ultramarine blue and in canon after the 500 worlds of Ultramar
Might be conflicting android version
I'm on iOS
it has nothing to do with being ultra lol
No, I said that's why I liked them.
It works on my Android thingy too.
I replied to a commenter on my channel.
I personally think warhammer is stupid
Instead of trying to purge entire planets with beefy foot soldiers, why not build a death star or something
Blackstone fortress: bonjour
it doesnt event have to be an ordo malleus ship. any imperial navy ship can perform exterminatus, which is destroying an entire planet
True, but reasons.
dude, they literally use them all the time
dasvidaniya?
Isn't Das Vidanya originally Russian?
Yes shut up you make me look bad
yes
pretends to know shit
Yeah they speak russian
well belarussian
Yeah, purging planets with exterminatus is every inquisitor's favourite pass time.
but pretty much the same
Its always belarussians who say it in media/games that I've seen
Along comes an iconoclastic space marine who bargains with the inquisitor and goes on a death quest to save the planet from said exterminatus.
Of course, in the event said space marine succeeds, the inquisitor can always come back later on to exterminatus the planet for ANOTHER sin.
Watched a lot of old movies since the Ukraine invasion 3 years ago, and suddenly they all have Ukrainian actors in them
and gets exterminatused along with everyone else
or that
I don't think they change the actors on old movies
I know
so not that sudden
Actually, if Inquisitor Martyr becomes canon, the inquisition actually wipes out the memories of 'errant' space marines and inquisitors on a fairly regular basis; they probably do it for EVERY marine and inquisitor that goes on a certain number of major missions, I think.
cognitive bias, Dieter.. duh ๐ ๐
It's one of those things you notice more often once you see it once
Recycling marines - sustainable goals. ๐
It's like geting a new car and now all you see is cars of the same make and model
it is canon, and they infact do wipe memories. Just not with the big chapters/legions. They tried that once with the space wolves
didnt end well
for the inquisition
Hehe. I can imagine how well it'd go down with the Blood Ravens.
What about the being able to see others thoughts and memories via cannibalism
My favorite trait
I think that's more a function granted by various implants / cogitators.
and/or both.
Whatever it is, I want it
Mayhap specifically involving the assimilation and analysis of stem cells or something.
I was already obsessing over the ioniq 5 for over a month
but only this week saw a lot of them in the streets
I will hazard to say and dare to hazard indeed, that such technology might actually be viable in our reality.
I'm just thinking bias + january deliveries lol
you forgot to turn off your thesaurus
There was that thing about some Chinese tech being able to read dreams or something.
The single article on it was never followed up on.
hoW darE j00!?
You are not wrong about cars. This time of year all the new '24 plates will be getting issued so I'd expect to see a few more around ๐
Ofc its Chinese
Assuming we store our p0rn memories in some stem cell in our body, we ought to be able to extract said stem cell and retrieve the memories therein, in the near future.
ive wasted enough time here lol, time to go work on my game lol
Another way to stalk every day things of their citizens
We believe you.
Totally.
No wonder u.s doesnt want them to have 4090s
should have left that one in your head
I don't think you store anything in stem cells?
it's all just brain activity and neural pathways
You store stems inside cells. Obviously.
Stem cells dont have cell walls
Darwin has spoken.
Did you know that
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math cells
cells with student loans
You jest, sirrah, but just you wait until some intrepid researcher discovers the almighty stem cell with grandma's butterscotch recipe in it.
too american for me
lad round here had the nickname "one cell"
One cell, i dont know why it doesnt even matter how hard I try, keep that in mind i designed this rhyme to explain in due time all i know
Time to eat quinoa and 'mutter paneer' and THEN resume filling my game's database.
prokaryotic or eukaryotic though?
it was a bad joke
which one?
I dont have enough cells to understand
LinkedIn Park
synaptic ๐
well you're american, we don't expect you to know anything
All I know is music
other than his guns?
we like to have some fun here
Idk where or when juggling will be useful but atleast I know it
How do I do taxes tho
they made you juggle is pee? Eeewww
Please tell me, I've been an adult for a while and still never filed my 401k and stuff
Am I supposed to, they didnt send IRS to my house yet
I dont know they didn't teach this stuff but if you have some tennis balls I could juggle for you
as long as there is no pee involved
you can juggle the 3 life sentences youll get for not paying taxes
Jokes on you I got a job that does the taxes stuff for me
I just never get my tax returns
Huge loss for me but fuck it
Wait a minute.. no wonder they didnt teach it. They sont want us filling our W2s and 401ks so they keep our overpaid tax dollars to keep bullying the rest of the world with their military
When I was self employed, I made more money paid way less in taxes then when employed. Taxes are great things lol
I think there was an onlyfans girl who got arrested for not doing their taxes for the money they made on the site
I recall seeing a video titles something like that on youtube
Don't be silly! That's the prison system that funds that ๐
sad but true
but very ironic
have you payed taxes?
401k is optional afaik
Before yes
not that I'm american
you presume they are actually an adult!
I dont have to file anything unless I paid over 12k
