Is it too sassy if I change my unreal engine icon to mickey mouse?
I had a dream that happened
epic did this whole announcement about "our new icon look" and it was just mickey
It was a big deal at the time in my head.
one time I had a fever dream where I was a submarine that needed to ascend and I couldn't figure out how to do it because I've never been a submarine before.
frustrating
summer cedar
I think Epic only requires that you have that Unreal disclaimer or copyright info, or whatever in one of the game's screens. That's about it. You can do whatever to the icons.

brittle dove
Yep, and "live service" means "this game doesn't have much that speaks for itself"
that too. The example I use is Microsoft Flight Simulator, which streams HD scenery from the cloud as the preferred option. Probably the single most "live service" game there is, But of course they never once described it as a "live service" even though it of course, is. Because the graphics were able to plainly speak for themselves.
I also like how Xbox has moved steadily away from the "xbox live" branding. I think it's because they wanted to avoid the bad look of needing to pay for "xbox live" only to end up in shitty live services games they want you to pay even more.
They wanted to dodge the: "Live all the way down" type jokes.

Portugal was the European country with the highest divorce rate in 2020, counting almost 92 divorces per 100 marriages. However, in 2022, the divorce-marriage ratio decreased to 50 percent. In 2020, the ratio peaked because of the drop in marriages during the coronavirus (COVID-19) related lockdown

--- This scheme is what is known as an additive color scheme because when you add lights together you are only adding the spectrum of light that can reflect back or go straight into the eye. So in conclusion we can state that light is projected in RBG but RYB is used when we want to manipulate what lights go to our eyes. ---

where did you get this from?
celest musk
it's cyan, magenta, yellow
they can mix black from that, but good printers usually have separate black

where did you get this from?
Not so much that the printers use RGB, but that you don't have to submit the damn things in CMYK these days. The printer takes care of that on their end (the professionals, not the machines). Previously, we had to submit the final files in CMYK.

This is a half scale RCS prototype Boeing made in 1962
The last one is a modern unmanned vehicle from present day using many design considerations, especially the tail / empennage from the old one (called Quiet Bird) This is a tiny little glimpse of what it looks like to be 50+ years ahead of publicly known technology. The original images from 1962 were ultra classified at the time. If only we knew what they have right now that is 50+ years ahead of anything the public knows about

a little upset there's not a REAL art channel, where you can share any of your art as long as it's not AI. AI "artists" are like microwave "chefs"

Isn't self promoting, like posting links to social media in hopes of gaining followers and traction?
cursive crypt
Links to your social media, showing off your work, etc are all self promotions.
left lava
If that's the case then everyone in this server self promotes their unreal creations
cursive crypt
And thats fine, because there is #1054845218723209226 and #1054845120236757103 and is UE server.
left lava
As far as I see it showing off anything without asking for support or gain is relatively harmless. Many servers on discord have dedicated sections for posting artwork it's for fun and feedback, and it isn't really different compared to what this server does now.
Just because it's an unreal server doesn't mean anything if it really mattered then #food #petting-zoo should be deleted because the content posted in there aren't from unreal engine.

They are massive models
20$ is nowhere near enough to pay for compute if you use more than like an hour in total each month
They must use time slicing or something similar to serve multiple users on the same gpu(s, yes multiple per model) so you share a gpu with other users but it's still nowhere near enough to cover the cost
The irony is that open source models are now achieving gpt4 level results at 30% of the gpt4 model size and a fraction of the cost

Over in another Unreal discord server, one of the admins rolled their own chatgpt instance and trained it on Unreal. It's good at answering basic questions, and can output small code samples, but I don't use it and can't say how well written it's code is. Probably not very given the track record of these AI systems
In any event, if a question is simple enough for an AI bot to answer then I probably don't need an AI bot in the first place.
