oh these are classic movie titles. From the 90's and previous
The target demographic is the 30-40+ gamers. Modern movie licenses aren't in my realm financially as they tend to go full bore tech and higher budget
proud jay
so what kind of movies?
I guess you would get very little support from the studios in that case, just get the license and they take like 20% royalty without anything else

things like Death Wish, Dirty Harry, etc. Games with fairly basic gameplay, heavy on narrative and character development.

The "big" scandal that shook Japan!
A middle school principal in Takasago, Japan, was caught buying $1.25 coffee from a coffee vending machine during lunch, paying for a $0.75 cup.
Although the school principal repeatedly apologized to the students and their families, he was dismissed.
WHAT THE FUCK AHIFBSDHFSDGSD
people launder billions of dollars in other countries
proud jay
yeah I've seen this
timber viper
reading this just after a stolen tax money in my country hit me hard
proud jay
but I think there was more to it and they were just looking for a reason to get rid of him maybe
summer cedar
would he apologize over and over then though
It's Japanese conditioning. They apologise even if they haven't done anything wrong, repeatedly, in order to save the reputation of the 'whole' - as in the company, their group of friends, etc.
proud jay
I saw an ad for gamersupps today and clicked it, they made me think of you Eren

It also means that with said apology, most of the time there's little to no legal action.

Hmm, who would've ever guessed that you need open the hood before trying to replace the round air filter?!
Rocket science this is!

This is that! ^
Indeed and I tried removing that round air filter on top with the hood closed.
Very smart I am.
proud jay
but how else do you survive being a sleep deprived full time working person though
don't say sleep
summer cedar
As long as your car's hood is made out of terminator mercury alloy, we ought to be able to pull the air filter out right through it.
This is legit science. 😎
proud jay
that looks surprisingly a lot like a vacuum filter, the top part at least

You might be right. It's labelled as Round Air Filter in-game.

I accidentally ripped the car's hood off.
I should change my vocation and become a mechanic.

can I just say that this BlueLink app for my car is shit for charging, you can set a destination and send it to the car but on that screen it does not show charging stations, you can find charges in the area on another screen, but you can't enter an address there so you either look around where you are currently or have to scroll the map manually to where you wanna go
why is there no option to go to a destination and then find a charge or at least find a charger around an address
stupid app developers
I don't
I use it to find charging stations
tall ledge
I'm probably gonna stick with internal combustion until they ban it tbh. The infrastructure is still pretty shit for it, but at least new builds in the UK have to have car chargers fitted as standard
proud jay
infrastructure is pretty decent here already
normally I can get a charging station at home paid for by my job
but I'm building a house
so I told them to hold off till we move there
median wraith
@proud jay the fuel sure is rising today
tall ledge
At least electricity generation is relatively clean in the UK, when I lived in Alberta it was all oil and gas anyway
median wraith
if you need a charger here is paid by the community
proud jay
well I don't plan on using public ones much when I get one at home either anymore
but we're not there yet
atm mostly charging at the office
summer cedar
Dieter, hook a bicycle to your car with the appropriate electric cables and be a hamster to charge it.
Environmentally friendly AND good for your cardio.
proud jay
I think I'll be biking for a long time before driving anywhere then
might as well plug my car into the normal wall socket then
rip
proud jay
idk man
I just think every country wants to push something that they would be first in
like belgium wants to invest in hydrogen cars
but at the same time require all new company cars to be electric starting this year
all I can say is, the government is incompetent af and doesn't do anything useful unless it helps them gain popularity
talking mainly about the federal one
to specify between our 6 governments
I'm really enjoying driving electric so far though
but at the same time I raised quite a bit in car "category", so hard to compare apples to apples
but it's much more easy going and comfortable to drive imo
celest musk
we didn't go from nuclear to coal
proud jay
and if you have charger at home and work, it's easy life
proud jay
at least my car puts it in park automatically and turns on the hand brake when stopping the engine
so I just do that when I arrive at my destination
whether I press the gear button or stop button 🤷
biggest complaint I have about the ioniq is that it does not have a rear window does not have a wiper for some reason
but that is specific to this car
other than that it's baller
it's strange to have a car where the air conditioning is louder than the engine
proud jay
we still buy nuclear energy
belgium was pushing to shut down all nuclear for years now for renewable, then their great plan was to use coal energy again
but now they're turning around and going back to nuclear
but now of course we have to buy more of it cause they shut it down over the years
government so smart 🧠

proud jay
my car doesn't allow me to go in Drive or Reverse if my seat belt is not on
which makes sense though
proud jay
why are you taking off your seatbelt to park?
I assume you park after finishing a drive?
so why would you first take off the seatbelt and then park?
shy veldt
so why would you first take off the seatbelt and then park?
You try reversing into a spot without a backup cam and your seat belt on. At 3 mph backing into a space, pretty safe to take it off so it is safer for you to back in as you can then turn more while backing up to see blinds.
That is if you have like one of the cars with a locking seat belt,
proud jay
idk, I didn't have a backup camera on last car and never needed to take off the seat belt
it's not like it's locking me to the chair
and there's mirrors
idk what kind of thing would be in your blind spot when trying to park that's relevant
empty dune

except if you're trying to park between a group of toddlers or something
celest musk

shy veldt
Tight spaces and double wheel wells, tis a nightmare
And double wheel wells are not visible in mirrors often
proud jay
why are you reversing onto double wheel wells
are those the things they use in garages on pits?
shy veldt
why are you reversing onto double wheel wells
Because giant f350s park next to the handicap parking spots abd there are nit many of them 💀🙃
shy veldt
Oh like giant trucks with extended axels past their cars width to have an extra wheel on their drive axels
shy veldt
On sec
Basically trucks with wheel wells like that, they usually also are always over the line
proud jay
just drive forward in the parking if it's parking spots, easy
I was always really shit at parking in reverse, until I moved to a house where I pretty much have to if I don't want to risk my life every time I leave the driveway
now that I've recently changed car I also have to readjust
I'm not used to the wide boy yet
and turning radius is different
soft night
shy veldt
just drive forward in the parking if it's parking spots, easy
Makes sense. I reverse since it's just easier for me to get in/out of the car and less likely for someone to park too close to my driver side door since a lot of handicap spots only have extra space to the passenger side.
proud jay
see, this is where the cool feature of my new car comes into play, if someone is blocking my door, I can let my car drive out of the spot by itself 🧠
shy veldt
When I was younger, I had backed over many curbs lol

I don't know why people reverse park to begin with.
Just park your car forwards and then turn it around with your bare hands and leave forwards.
That's what's called exercise and you have a legitimate reason to do it then.
The simple things that people just don't think of, bewilders the mind. 🤯

whoever said they lost their saves for Pacific Drive: Additionally, we’ve added a save backup feature, to obviate unpredictable issues like anti-virus software and crashes occurring during saving, resulting in losing all progress in that save slot. If your save becomes corrupted for some reason, it will display a ⚠️ symbol next to your save in the menu, and the game will load from a backup save associated with the same save game slot. So your overall progress will be maintained, albeit with a small setback. If you’ve been affected by an issue of this nature where you’ve lost all your progress, please reach out to us via the in-game Bug Reporter and we will try to get you back on the road in as equitable a shape as possible to the progress you lost.

https://github.com/cronofear-dev/utasks
It's a terminal-based task composer with predefined tasks for Unreal Related stuff. It's similar to Unreal Binary Builder in a way. It just have the issue that the released .exe is getting flagged by antivirus (I think it's because i'm packaging a .NET project into a single .exe)... But you can check the code and build it yourself if you want.
fervent wagon
It's windows defender the one causing the false positive.
At least on my end, when i download the release exe from github.
But VirusTotal also flags it like with 10 AV
Yeah I personally would choose not to use any AV at all if possible
I don't remember the last time my AV actually helped
which AV do you use?
slim atlas
hi
fervent wagon
But after some testing the culprit is dotnet /p:PublishSingleFile=true. Virus total doesn't get crazy when i remove that.
Have you tried distributing to the internets?
I don't have issue when i build it myself too.
It's only when downloading.
I see... I'm going to try and find what could be the problem if it's not that then.
Oddly enough now it's only getting flagged 2 times.
And my AV is letting me download the release from github without an issue... I didn't add any exclusion to it or anything.
It only shows one in the list.
It was getting like 10 detections a week or so ago.
I didn't send the file for analysis to MS, so my guess is that I was using a library that was causing the issue or something. Weird...
Well hopefully if it continues like this in a week I'll remove the warning. I'm going to try downloading the release files in other computers.

Is it possible to make a sphere, without triangles, where all surfaces have the same shape and size?
forget it
it was a stupid idea
i just had this stupid question in my head
about a chunk system for planets
it would be round
and all the chunks would need to be exact size
so you only load the chunks near you
but i guess the complex solution with voxels is the best solution

Apparently my low resting heart rate isn't the only "athletic" thing about it... My heart rate recovery rate is also quick, normal being from 18-25 ish and 30+ athlete level 1 min recovery rate, mine is around 37... Somehow while the most athletic thing I'm doing is getting out of bed lol

apparently for the first 20 hours of the game, there's none of that victorian asthetic the trailers showed. it apparently just a worse clone of ark or rust. only redeeming part is the base building which is excellent. other than that, the combat is basic, the crafting is tedious and the mission designs are basic fetch quests or basic puzzles
only after 20 hours the game gives you the victorian asthetic and then it transforms into a worse version of destiny 2
its worse apparently, the reviewer i saw mentioned sons of the forest as better specifically in terms of resource gathering and crafting

laid down for an hour, couldnt really sleep. Feel a little better but still unmotivated
fathom wadi
Never rely on motivation for anything. Motivation comes and goes. Perseverance is the key to success.
tulip orbit
I seem to be low on that too
fathom wadi
Then nobody can help you. Discipline and perseverance are only available from your user interface side. It's a physical act so you can over-ride the mental demotivation part. Just perform the actions. Keep performing them. Eventually you will see results that bring back motivation. But if you do nothing then you stagnate and it gets harder and harder to get back to doing anything. If you don't want to burn out because you are not motivated then set yourself tasks for the next day. Then make sure you finish those tasks, or at least put what time you have into trying to complete them. You are only beating yourself by not doing anything at all. Nobody will do it for you.
I believe in you. You have been around for a long time in this community. We all have ups and downs, but you can beat it because you want it.
tulip orbit
hey I did laundry and finally washed my coffee machine
fathom wadi
that helps too. Anything that moves a process forward, even if its not the task at hand, is beneficial to your mental state.
Like Jordan Peterson states.... the act of making your bed in the morning can be the most important task of the day because it trains your brain to start a process.

Learn as you go. You can't learn it all beforehand. Learning const and static takes like 10-20 mins tho. You can learn everything from statics by making a blueprint function library and understand you can use the statics anywhere then. consts are obvious tho. constant vars. They don't change once set.

thats how I've been doing it, but its resulted in some messy code. I know the definitions of const/static, but dont fully understand exactly where I should and shouldnt be using it. My mapgen has a Seed, which seems to me a prime candidate for a const, but it gets set either by directly in the BP details, or if I call for a random seed, or if set by an eventual data table
fathom wadi
hmm i wouldn't have thought it needs to be const at all. Unless you only have one seed forever
tulip orbit
One seed to rule them all, once its set, it shouldnt be changed, and gets used by multiple generators and the RNG gen
fathom wadi
Lets say I was using AWS as my servers. I would likely set my key/secret as const values because I wouldn't want them to ever change. But if I was using multiple accounts I wouldn't. With an RNG seed I would likely only have it const if I wanted deterministic results.
5 months out.... i wouldn't risk it
tulip orbit
I'm switching over to the SquirrelNoise RNG, which is a noise based rng, so that if I use a seed on a map, it displays the same way each time, for every player. but so long as I dont make a call to change the seed, it should be fine non const
fathom wadi
Last time I did RNG I implemented a mersenne twist. It was pretty interesting but a noise based RNG would be interesting too. I wanted to do more things like that
tulip orbit
one of my layout generators is a cellular automata, and even with the same seed I was getting different maps each time, I switched it to the squirrelnoise, and now I get the same map each time 😄

idk if there's anything on eu level, but we have low emission zones in big cities that you can only enter with certain types of cars
based on euro norms
and older ones don't qualify cause of emission

theyre going to restrict the repair of older cars, its what they call a residual vehicle but it has no consideration for the emissions of creating new vehicles

I think thats just a misinterpretation

theres also a heavy focus on tail pipe emissions but people have found here that rubber emissions especially from heavier vehicles can be just as bad as microplastics
I think the EU is just pumping up their manufacturing
you should see the warning labels on car part coatings, its nasty stuff, it makes you wonder where all the waste chemicals go since the emissions are shown as less for newer cars

I haven't heard of such things

its called the European Commission right? its on the floor but its not passed ratification

Basically if a car needs more repairs than its market value it could be immediately scrapped. It'll make it more difficult for classic car repairers to operate

we knew it was fake from the get go
river sable
right, didn't know it was confirmed to be 100% fake right away
pearl elk
but Im happy that hacker mobs got scammed by other criminals
its still not confirmed 100%
unless your reliable source is con artists

what's your source on this?
pearl elk
what's your source on this?
its on the floor at the EU commission, I figured EU folks would know how to look that up better than some back water Aussie
pearl elk
my source was a motor enthusiast channel called Fullboost
proud jay
it seems like just a proposal
so means nothing atm
and likely never will
there's many proposals that never see the light of day

that sounds reliable! 😄

and this would definitely not be aimed at classic oldtimers

it is satire but they take the piss out of actual news
pearl elk
dont you have a company car?
proud jay
I do
pearl elk
infact isnt your country the one with all the company cars
pearl elk
nah they wouldnt be because youre not paying for them
the poor people youre talking about in the EU are
proud jay
not everyone has a company car
pearl elk
🤷♂️

e.g. my gf
or literally my whole family except for me
still, none of them drive a 15 year old car
proud jay
well no
cause I don't pay for mine
and a car is not the only thing of monetary value in the world

proud jay
don't expose me like that
median wraith
that's why have a company car, todo "jobs"
proud jay
approx 14% of working belgians have a company car afaik
pearl elk

I know this but you seem to think everyone spends all their money on a car less than 15yrs old. Here isn Aus they are all imports and most are very expensive
proud jay
I think only people driving 15 year old cars here are the very young or the poor
median wraith
here is some people that rather buy a low cost car with a print all around of some trademark
proud jay
you don't have to spend tons of money
pearl elk
Local manufacturing stopped but plenty of people drive local cars because we dont have to import parts from Germany at great expense
median wraith
15 years old cars here used to be the common
note that's a car from 2010 at this point
pearl elk
very young people here drive their parents extra cars, we have like 5 for 2 people
pearl elk
thats just cars not motorized bikes
median wraith
I saved over the years to get the car, but tbh isn't a good deal or the prices are related with what you get
proud jay
the real question is why have cars that you don't need
pearl elk
even though the classic holden probably worth more than your new company car 😅
Toranas sell for more than Lamborghinis
proud jay
to reiterate, this is not about oldtimers or "classics"
it's about day to day normal use cars
