In 2022, Unity had 7,703 employees.

#

Assuming no one died of simply being at unity, 4,603 remain.

empty dune
#

maybe the real layoffs were the calculations we couldnt do along the way

celest musk
#

+1 for the CEO which left

summer cedar
#

That wasn't a human being, so doesn't count.

empty dune
#

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??

summer cedar
#

Because fun is work.

#

But, if it helps, you CAN hire 1,800 people looking for work now. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

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?

no, that's from a german company

pretty much one of the first consumer grade shutter glasses

summer cedar
#

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

celest musk
#

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

summer cedar
#

Cool. Any headaches from prolonged use?

celest musk
#

yea, but also the games back then had bad graphics, idk how it would be nowadays

chrome gull
#

totally for game research purposes

empty dune
#

my point stands

chrome gull
#

not jobless

empty dune
#

my point can also sit if you like

chrome gull
#

pffft if you crack these lame ass jokes in your game, it's gonna tank so hard

summer cedar
celest musk
#

yea, that unreal game mod just reminded me of those things

summer cedar
#

If you can't successfully build a slightly bonkers Vault, then your research will have failed, @chrome gull . research goals

chrome gull
celest musk
#

so basically the z-depth in games was available since 3D games are a thing

celest musk
#

so doesn't surprise me that there are mods which make almost any game compatible

summer cedar
#

Or pretending to, at least, only to abandon it like any other game dev project.

Might as well be, without follow-up.

All the people doing it to improve their vision have gone blind and can no longer write articles.

celest musk
#

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)

I just installed Google Play Games for PC.

#

Time to see if Star Trek works.

empty dune
#

there's a new star trek game?

summer cedar
#

Old one. But it's mobile.

It was kinda ok-ok, but nice to play if you're bored.

#

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

summer cedar
#

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.

summer cedar
empty dune
#

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

broken sigil
celest musk
#

well, i'm not saying that it doesn't have any "effect"

empty dune
celest musk
#

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

empty dune
celest musk
#

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 ๐Ÿ˜„

#

as it felt subjective less straining

empty dune
#

man, why do we not get built in infrared vision?

#

it would be so cool

#

fucking bees get it ffs

celest musk
#

seeing your neighbor poop?

#

maybe we do have IR vision

#

but perceive it different ๐Ÿ˜„

empty dune
celest musk
#

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?

wasn't it mantis shrimp? ๐Ÿ˜„

and our food gets to see it

broken sigil
# empty dune why not humans?

You know what's even better? Humans are stuck with the old prehistoric type of eyes pain
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" ๐Ÿ˜†

celest musk

we have a blind spot?

i found it yesterday when i stumbled over my flower pot

#

Where the optic nerve connects to the retina is the blind spot.

broken sigil
#

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

empty dune
#

we dont get any cool hardwares except a brain that gives anxiety and depression

broken sigil
celest musk
#

i cant do it xD

broken sigil
celest musk
#

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?!

broken sigil
#

try this, look at the X with your right eyes and slowly move towards your screen until the dot disappears

#

might be easier

celest musk
#

yea i might have found it

broken sigil
celest musk
#

but that's more than 15deg i would say

#

more like 30

broken sigil
#

15 is average I believe, so somewhere around that

celest musk
#

or even more

broken sigil
#

mine is about exactly 15

celest musk
#

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

broken sigil
#

like mine is about here

celest musk
#

maybe my eyes are already so bad that my brain makes up all the shit

#

and i think it's fine ๐Ÿ˜„

broken sigil
#

for my left it's here

broken sigil
#

I remember finding it for the first time, it gave me a panic attack lol

celest musk
#

ik that feel, when stuff like this happens i go to bed and call it a day...

broken sigil
#

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

celest musk
#

nah, i guess migraine is better than AW2

broken sigil
#

everyone needs to play AW2 cry

celest musk

it's almost as dark as my future

it nails the gathering portion, it is like one of the highlights of the game

stuff like this ๐Ÿ˜„

iirc it uses all 16 other generators of the same mod to produce an insane amount of power

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.

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.

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

really gone down the deep end since GME

summer cedar

hehe.

proud jay
summer cedar
#

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.

proud jay
#

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)

summer cedar
#

In my three years of investing in standard equities, I've lost only 10% of my investment and gained roughly 50-70% or so.

proud jay
#

so you gained 40%?

summer cedar
#

And THAT 10% loss was entirely of my own making, with full knowledge that it was a gamble.

summer cedar
proud jay
#

that's a strange way to describe investing

#

I would only look at the full long term picture really

summer cedar
#

Long-term XIRR is 12.5% p.a.

soft night
#

some invest houses for long term investment too

summer cedar
#

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.

proud jay
#

what

proud jay
#

cause there's a verb missing there

cursive crypt
#

reliable source of information

bhahaha

soft night
#

dieter not just investment firms but some entrepeneurs invest to houses then rent them

summer cedar
#

No, not insider info. Just reliable information by analysts and people who can spot trends.

@summer cedar what you know of staking?

Yep, near $100k - it was devastating. My point is, if it was easy, everyone would have done it. Even seasoned traders burn daily.

soft night
#

you assume a lot dieter

proud jay
#

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

soft night
#

the crypto seems adding proof of stake lately or web3 in general

proud jay
#

I only buy individual stock in companies that I believe in personally

#

and not that big amounts tbh

proud jay
soft night
summer cedar
soft night
#

dieter lots of things adding the staking now what is there sure

proud jay
#

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

fluid bloom
#

it's not capital gains until you cash out, hence no tax

summer cedar
# proud jay by fund you mean from an investment firm or bank or also ETFs?

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.

proud jay
fluid bloom
#

yea but that's the thing with accumulating funds and such

proud jay
#

but like I said, (for now) there is no capital gain tax in belgium

fluid bloom
#

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

BEL20 made a loss last year lol

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.

summer cedar

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.

the catch is you can only buy stocks

no funds or etfs or anything fancy

you can't just lose stocks like that

except if they are bankrupt

oh

summer cedar
#

--- 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. --

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

summer cedar
proud jay
#

I would only ever do this if I was financially struggling in retirement

but I plan to not do that

summer cedar

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.

unborn lotus
#

We still have public pensions. Apparently better then ETFs in the long term

proud jay
#

how is it better?

unborn lotus
#

Because you contribute for 25 years

#

Then get that amount back or more

proud jay
#

we have public pension, but I don't count on it being there when I retire lol

unborn lotus
#

As long as you live

proud jay
#

cause our retirement works on the money of the next generation, not the money you make yourself

unborn lotus
summer cedar
#

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.

proud jay
#

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

#

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

fluid bloom
proud jay
#

but only up to 960 euros per year

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.

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

summer cedar
#

umm... wasn't the magical rising powder supposed to be 'yeast'?

proud jay
#

yes

#

but the mixture with the salt ruins it

#

don't ask me the details man

#

I just speak from experience

summer cedar
#

Try desert salt instead. You can ruin it with LESS.

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

summer cedar

Use a dip of any kind. It should ameliorate the saltiness a tad.

#

what do you put bread in

unreal ether
#

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

proud jay
#

that's a whole lot of effort for something I don't even want

mossy nexus
#

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 ๐Ÿ™‚

proud jay

wtf kind of gourmet shit do you guys think I make

mossy nexus

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..

unreal ether
#

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

summer cedar
#

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

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.

you mean the heavy flamer. Vulkan lives

I found the flamer underwhelming in Inquisitor Martyr.

#

But, that was because I was already spoiled by the Heavy Bolter.

empty dune
#

flamers are underwhelming in pretty much every wh40k game except for chaosgate daemonhunters

summer cedar
#

I wonder why, though. ๐Ÿค” With a range upgrade, they ought to be just as good as heavy bolters and sadistically melt every enemy away.

empty dune

idk, flamers just suck in most 40k games

#

only one that was satisfying was the one i mentioned

empty dune

also the best flamethrower ive ever seen in a video game was from aliens dark descent

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.

empty dune

it was great to learn level design

chrome gull
unborn lotus
#

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

summer cedar

Of course, I then found out that the game basically crashes if a single run goes too long. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

My game has started stuttering now. ๐Ÿ˜„ I am sure it'll crash soon.

summer cedar
#

Yeah.

#

People didn't find out until recently, because they were transitioning from NG to NG.

chrome gull
#

uh oh, I am running a Fallout 4 playthrough rn that will take a long time to finish

unreal ether
#

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

summer cedar

Now, they are complaining. ๐Ÿ˜„

Yes, ammo scarcity should be accompanied by viable alternatives of gameplay.

thats 1000

3,600 thousand?

k is 1000

so anythingk= anything *1000

summer cedar
#

This is correct, but looking at the screenshot, I think the dev is just bad at numbering stuff.

errant raven
#

Yes

empty dune

#

The usage of M there is what throws a spanner in the cogs.

#

No, I am referring to the 2.832M there.

errant raven
#

European way is making shit overcomplicated just to call Americans stupid for doing the exact same thing but simpler

#

Everything makes sense now

summer cedar
#

Given that, the usage of k in the other places would be wrong.

empty dune
#

yes, thats 2832 million. that is 2832*1 million

its a stupid way of writing

i agree

but its not incorrect

but pretty much the same

errant raven
#

Its always belarussians who say it in media/games that I've seen

summer cedar
#

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.

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.
