I still got a perpetual license for some old version of painter and designer before they got acquired by AdOBe

The question is if that license still works tho

I started with 3ds Max and Maya, long before 3ds Max was purchased by Autodesk.
I am learning the modelling tools in Blender, now.

[celest musk]

mine, too. (for wasting time with 3DS Max and Maya)

[unborn lotus]

Just maya though

3dsmax is still the greatest there ever was

Maya actively tries to sabotage your work and make your life a living hell

[cursive crypt]

Bryce or die

[trim solstice]

Shadows are too ostracized

[celest musk]

wasn't there also a rhino 3d thing?

[trim solstice]

But cool

[unborn lotus]

Rhino is still used for cad and product design

[celest musk]

oh rhino still exists

[trim solstice]

What's rhino

[celest musk]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinoceros_3D

[unborn lotus]

Softimage xsi died

[tulip orbit]

lulz, I started with rhino3d in high school and that was a looong time ago

[median wraith]

damm that thing

Still remember it

[celest musk]

i pirated that as a kid iirc

opened it, was lost like a man in space and got rid of it again 😄

[median wraith]

This to me after know Blender, looked like a joke

The only thing I see they added some sketchup alike thing, that could be awesome in blender but hey

[celest musk]

chances are it exists already as plugin

[median wraith]

na, there are but no one with decent workflow

[celest musk]

if sketchup wouldn't export a total mess one could do it there 😄

but whenever i got a sketchup model and tried to convert it to FBX it went nuts

[median wraith]

they fucked sketchup once was purchased by externals

[celest musk]

wasn't that owned by google at some point?

[median wraith]

Was owned by Google and then sold

[celest musk]

sketchup was kinda like valve hammer 😄

the feel of it, imho

[median wraith]

a missed oportunity to keep it and add ads of 25mins as they do in Youtube

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/414845068453609483/1216062435245686894/image.png?ex=65ff0565&is=65ec9065&hm=3f545ef9b7c5b807228124a7a0aadc690610cdd0a184c4c0a08e54e3ee9e7bae&

or 50mins as a friend show me

[woven wing]

I fell asleep at my pc once

[river sable]

just imagine obediently sitting through ads

[woven wing]

Woke up like 3 hours into an Indian guy reading some religious book

There was like 5 hours to go

It was the strangest ad I've ever seen

[river sable]

you singlehandedly saved the world economy by watching that ad

[neat sluice]

Youtube has been real aggressive with ads lately

I always get 2 back to back ads on every video

[pearl elk]

even ads have ads these days

[summer cedar]

They are countering all the ad blockers by forcing more ads.

It's fun.

Also, a great way to make you sign up for premium.

I HAVE premium, but I purposely stay signed out and avoid their ads, just to be a PITA.

[neat sluice]

On top of that they're mostly unskippable, atleast before they used to be skippable

[summer cedar]

Also because I am lazy, but let's ignore that part.

[neat sluice]

That would just drive more people to get ad blockers

[summer cedar]

Yes; there's also the forced throttling that they tried a few weeks ago, which messed with some graphics cards.

They stopped it before a lawsuit was filed.

[pearl elk]

I miss web 1.0

[neat sluice]

What's the actual use of YT Premium other than removing ads anyway?
it just seems like a waste of money

[summer cedar]

You get access to all of Google's services using that premium membership, like Amazon Prime gives you access to movies, music, etc. etc.

Uh, do you want me to be UN-lazy and get that info?

😛

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6308116?hl=en

You get everything mentioned there.

What I like the most is the ability to turn off my phone's display and still listen to music on YT.

[neat sluice]

I see, i thought it was applicable only for watching Youtube

[summer cedar]

It's not GREAT benefits per say, but several tiny ones accumulating into a weak justification for spending money.

Keep the money circulating, benefit the economy, hopefully get a neuralink chip before the planet explodes.

[neat sluice]

Then you can stream ads directly into your brain 🥳

https://images.app.goo.gl/8w3uwbXGcNAgr4sh6

[summer cedar]

That takes effort.

Lazy + money = membership

[river sable]

use brave browser on mobile!

[summer cedar]

While that'd be great, I assume Elon will use our brains as extra processing nodes to design and build his Mars colony.

[river sable]

it does that for free (and also blocks ads at the same time)

hmm

yes?

[summer cedar]

I prefer the BROWSER OF VALOUR!

It chants the Knight's Code of Avalon every time you open it.

With the brain chip, you don't have to worry about your URLs being hijacked.
Lord Elon will tell you which website to visit.

And... you... WILL... do... it.

[river sable]

praised be elmo

wasn't aware brave was so terrible in that regard tbh

😄 right

I only use it for watching youtube tbf

netscape mobile for everything else

[summer cedar]

Someone should design the Yellow Browser to compete with Brave.

Seems correct.

Screw privacy! We should all come out of the closet and tell everyone what p0rn we are watching.

Also, share your credit card numbers and bank accounts.

I finished four mayo sandwiches.

Then two supplement gummies.

Now, I ponder the benefits of a chewing gum, peppermint.

[empty dune]

i was watching this video about 5.4 auto retargetting and this guy just drops so much shade on uefn XD

basically he said uefn needs to be simple and ue5 is getting the benefits of that slowly XD

[brittle holly]

Does he work for Epic?

[oblique cloak]

holy... this is game changing

might switch to 5.4 right now 😮

[empty dune]

wait for it to release first lol

[oblique cloak]

naw it dont matter if you build from source. You can always switch engine versions.

or you can just create the anims in 5.4

[empty dune]

no i meant more stability wise

id rather wait for their fixes before jumping in

i waited 4 months for them to fix up 5.3 before i upgraded my project

[oblique cloak]

i did this with 4.7 from 4.6 and it was fine xD

[empty dune]

which was surprisingly a pleasant experience, nothing broke. compare that to 5.1 to 5.2 which was a disaster

5.2 was a disaster by itself anyway

recently had to work on it again because of an old project and the stupid thing crashed more than me playing forza horizon with a buggy joystick

[oblique cloak]

oh i remember you now, you just have raindust at the beginning of your name lol

you had a white icon

from this discord years ago

[empty dune]

wdym ._.

ohhhh

okay

[oblique cloak]

yeah im going to build from source when i go to bed tonight just to create the anims and such and stick with 5.3

thats the only thing that you can go forwards and backwards with versions

[tulip orbit]

epic released vid about 5.4? Or some random dude

[oblique cloak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eed8rKcA44Q

[empty dune]

nah, random dude

[tulip orbit]

bah

[empty dune]

its not really a tutorial, he was just trying it out and recording himself while doing it. the dude gets frustrated on camera several times lol

[oblique cloak]

We are like 6 years away from ue 6 o.O

yeah but no bullshit, and it just does it now that is insane to me

[empty dune]

yeah, i was surprised how close it got

not like i can do a better job but ive seen others

[oblique cloak]

xD

holy so all the daz stuff i bought 3 years ago can finally come to the ue skel.

im actually excited.

yeah but its trash

[tulip orbit]

I just need someone to make a properly rig a FPS arm skeleton.

[empty dune]

5.4 can do it with a couple clicks

[oblique cloak]

always broke spine 4,5 i think it was and cause the fingers to curl like salad fingers.

[oblique cloak]

just cut off the body with the meta human.

thats what i did or hide by bone

and do the owner no see

[tulip orbit]

I tried a few things like that, but never got an acceptable result

[empty dune]

can you downgrade a metahuman's assets? like, id like metahumans but i dont really need photo realism

[oblique cloak]

its been a year since i did that but i had perfect results. I just opened the meta human in blender and erased up to the shoulders and removed the head. Came out perfect. then i used the same anims for fp and tp

and for better viewing i did the legs with hide bone and had the fp view with legs so when you look down you have legs....

i cant stand when studios release games like that lol

[empty dune]

cant wait for ue10 with the "make game" button

[oblique cloak]

you will be 6 feet under by then xD

[empty dune]

or toasty. radioactive toasty XD

[oblique cloak]

your talking 50 years lol

[empty dune]

bold of you to assume we are making that far XD

[oblique cloak]

It already is fortnite engine with the name removed

i seen this in ue5 release

[empty dune]

its the year 2077, cdpr is making the next cyberpunk in fortnite engine. children cry in the streets. star citizen is slated for another alpha test very soon

[oblique cloak]

just hire the guy from fluid flux and oceanoligy.

perfect water system.

thats the thing i dont understand right there, why does epic not recruit from the most sold on the store? So many bright minds.

[empty dune]

Too busy with layoffs probably

Oceanology had some shady marketing though, that's the only thing i dont like about that team

You need to 5 star rate their plugin on the marketplace just to access source code

Or documentation

Why would you gate documentation behind a 5 star review tf

[oblique cloak]

Yeah ^ i hate that practice right there..

ALS was the most complicated locomotion for no reason. I finally understand why lyra is now.

[fleet tangle]

Maybe they do? And maybe the best selling assets on teh store aren't actually that well made. They just work.

[open fog]

what mean

[tulip orbit]

I've been seeing that a lot lately too

UE call home!

[brittle dove]

Has anyone showed them how to use autoscaling groups yet?

[brittle holly]

He was just butt hurt because he made his dumb game exclusive for Timbo at launch, and then the customers he pissed off review bombed the previous iterations of Borderlands on Steam, because they had no other outlet.

What’s more likely to happen is for EGS to go away

Or both get replaced by something better, that’s usually how these things go

[celest musk]

steam wont go away that easy

people have games in that eco system which they can't get out of there

[zinc matrix]

And to think, that for this to become true, all is needed, is a proper fucking store.

[broken sigil]

@brittle holly I'm yet to find a single Olympium fragment in the deep zone

Also I'm 34 runs in with 0 deaths lol

[brittle holly]

I did find a few on my way to the Well, by that time I was getting tired of looting lol

[brittle holly]

Nice, I only died once cause I got stuck on an incline and didn’t realize I was out of fuel

Let me tell you

When the red comes in

It ain’t pretty

[broken sigil]

😆

I had a few close calls but always managed to wiggle my way to the extraction point lol

[brittle holly]

Yeah, even yellow is harsh

Are you gonna end now that you have full upgrades ?

Tbh I would’ve liked to listen to the rest of the radio tapes but I was kinda itching to drive off

[broken sigil]

I'm still trying to find olympium fragments to get all the upgrades I can, that last mission has been just sitting there for days now
I've been looking for the fragments for at least 8 hours in total

[brittle holly]

lol

Resource scanner

[broken sigil]

found whole lot of nothing lol
One big 0 lol

[brittle holly]

They’re prly just in the very last few locations

I thought it was the ending when I got them

But there was one more

So I had like 3 olympium doors lol

[broken sigil]

Figured out how to make the magnets by pure accident lol
But still absolutely 0 fragments, I went through almost all junctions in the deep zone except where the well is, it's probably gonna be random chance at this point, they are apparently very rare

And I need like 15-20 to get all the upgrades I can

[brittle holly]

Ah ya same

Well I mean

Go to the well location then 😀

[broken sigil]

do I have the option to extract there so I don't have to start the final mission?

[brittle holly]

Depends, I can’t rmbr the exact description of the mission, but the one I thought was the ending was not quite yet

I had to charge some stuff

And that’s where I found the fragments iirc

[broken sigil]

ohh, I'm at the End of the road mission or something like that

[brittle holly]

Did you charge some more gates ?

[broken sigil]

hmm let me remember lol

[brittle holly]

Cause there was one prior with charging gates

But similar with this one

Well it’s pretty straightforward

If you thought all hell was breaking loose but you went back to garage, that’s the one before last

[broken sigil]

looked at the videos I recorded
I did 1 more after the initial crossing into the deep zone, it was to charge the thing

and now I have the well mission

[brittle holly]

You might be at the end then, I can’t rmbr. I went back to playing Snowrunner right after, cause the new game from the IP is apparently 3 steps backwards lol

[broken sigil]

lol

welp, time to somehow find the fragments, I really want the most powerful engine before I finish it lol

Do I have enough repair kits lmao

and the soundtrack has been living rent free in my head for days lol
https://youtu.be/H9U5v4Y8fYI

[brittle holly]

Yeah some of those songs are ear worms

[brave dome]

Has gearbox even made anything in the past 5 years since borderlands 3? (semi /s)

[pearl elk]

Tiny Tina Wonderlands

[brave dome]

Yeah that and the tales from the borderlands were the semi /s

I'm not sure if either hit projections

And now they are working on indie game expansions... wat

That is craazy

[pearl elk]

Average AAA game is taking longer to make across the board to about 5 years

[brave dome]

I remember playing OG borderlands while ROR 1 was being worked on and I followed the devlepment on indieDB lol

[pearl elk]

Only reason you see games like CoD all the time is because they have 3 or more teams all working on em cycling through

[brave dome]

When was the last time you saw a major studio switch to working on a seperate indie IP that their internal publishing branch presumably has rights to

thats craazy

Good for hoopoo

[pearl elk]

Embracer is looking to sell Gearbox so who knows whats going on

[brave dome]

Every public company in the games sector blows, change my mind

[pearl elk]

Plenty of private companies which blow too

[brave dome]

100%

I was just about to say

They blow so hard they are ruining the private and angel investor sector too lol

[pearl elk]

EGS is a good deal for publishers though, unfortunately they seem to be dipping into the developer end rather than the money funnelling back into development as was the intention

I see price matching between Steam and EGS so the publisher gets more on EGS especially for an UE game

[brave dome]

you mean the publicly traded company that is legally obliged to prioritize shareholder profit did their job... wat

[pearl elk]

better than a platform holder taxing you

but worse than self publishing 😛

[brave dome]

Valve and Epic only publish their own things, basically every other producer is owned by tencent or embracer

GoG ftw

[pearl elk]

Epic are part owned by Tencent and Disney

[brave dome]

The producer investment is way bigger

mobile gaming and then NFTs basically killed the idea of a principled angel investor

in games anyway, way too many suckers to milk

[unreal ether]

Tim still holds majority share though I believe

[brave dome]

Yeah but is it not possible to dilute the shares and have a hostile takeover?

[unreal ether]

It's amazing actually how little Disney own of Epic

[brave dome]

I haven't taken a look at their class A or B structuring, just curious

[unreal ether]

I don't believe so.

Don't quote me on it tho

[pearl elk]

Yeah Im pretty sure Epic are majority stakeholders but Disney now has a seat at the table

[brave dome]

Yeah I wouldn't think Tim would even risk that

I'd imagine he wasn't even happy about having to go public

[pearl elk]

Judging by Fortnite you'd think Disney owns more 😛

[brave dome]

Yeah, so he's got a lock on the A's

[pearl elk]

Disney could also sell their part to Kim Jung Un if Tim doesnt obey 😛

[brave dome]

Yeah just don't go for any trips in the eastern hemisphere after questioning your CCP board member plant, you might end up Jack Ma'd

Funnily enough, the whole Tiktok ordeal might drastically change the laws around all of this

[pearl elk]

Remember when Valve released the killer app for the Index and then the Index became synonymous with gaming on Steam?

Oh boy the year of VR really did end up being only a year 😛

[brave dome]

Lol, Gabe still thinks about it before every dota 2 match

Thank God he lost all that weight or we'd be in a real pickle right now

I know you're all a bunch of Tim lovers here, but Valve kept it private the whole way and really could've charged a lot more than 30% for a long time

[pearl elk]

if it were just 30% but its not, its all those nickles and dimes on the community MP

[brave dome]

Wat

[pearl elk]

but aye, Tim is worth more than Gabe cuz Valves had some pretty large scale screw ups like Steam Machines

[brave dome]

I've never seen any nickles or dimes on my steam dev backend

though it's been many many moons since a payout lol

[pearl elk]

maybe you should be paying instead of gamers

$100 was always a bad joke

You can use Epics backend for free without even using anything else of Epics

[brave dome]

All great risks, the only thing Valve has really derped on, is while slowing down their internal development, they did no community hand off like they use to, and the CS2 feature set is really dope, but hammer is barely integrated for the old features still

Oh the steam fee

I forgot that was a thing, that was not back in the day

Post greenlight

Definitely a better solution

Tim would love to have that issue to solve

Maybe he would with some real good UE5 documentation 😛 hey @sand oxide 😉 haha

[pearl elk]

Ive never played Counterstrike much tbh, maybe back when it was in beta. Imagine if Valve actually made a new IP instead of taking them from the mod community 😛 that said, pretty much what UEFN is doing atm too

[brave dome]

yeah, like I said, the public sector has totally ruined the requirement for innovation

set a really solid floor with psychological abuse that mainly targets pre-adults

[pearl elk]

ahahaha, thats sarcasm right?

[brave dome]

and bam, no competition necessary

[pearl elk]

The Day Before?

[zinc matrix]

You obviously know it's not.

[brave dome]

Do either of you even remember greenlight?

Or let's go back to the gatekeeper days

[pearl elk]

$100 isnt even a day on minimum wage

[brave dome]

Let me know when you'

[pearl elk]

Id rather be able to find good games on the store rather than having a wishlist of 200 odd games

[brave dome]

You guys are not remembering greenlight

So so so much worse

I mean, they have totally redone the storefront since then

a wishlist/greenlight system to skip the payment would actually make sense

[pearl elk]

lol it doesnt matter, discoverability is still useless, curators have done virtually nothing

[brave dome]

Steam isn't your publisher

[pearl elk]

then why 30%

[brave dome]

You can do your own client distribution and drm if you think you can do it for less than that

[pearl elk]

Didnt you just say you liked GoG?

[brave dome]

Even then, the time cost cant be calculated with market windows

I love me some GoG

[pearl elk]

then why DRM?

I mean if you want you game to run choppy for no reason, go for it

[brave dome]

I love GoG as a consumer, coincidentally that I do DRM less versions is separate

if Epic Games for example even just had client versioning control, a control imbalance I completely disagree with Valve on

I'd switch over in a heartbeat

like client as in, me the client end user gets to control what game version I'm using

[pearl elk]

I dont use either so I dont have a monkey in this race

all I know is as a consumer Steam has been hurting my experience more lately

[brave dome]

I mean I'm pretty impartial from the developer side, I don't think anyone is getting ripped off with any of the platforms

[pearl elk]

EGS is garbage but atleast its mostly not visible garbage when the games up

Steam is visible garbage with overlay garbage and trade garbage

[brave dome]

I don't understand why apps like steam and discord, designed as gaming companions

are increasingly bloated to hell and back and neither have a lite mode, and valve removed the ability to use their with console when they switched to all chromium nonsense

I don't like any of it but GoG as a user haha

[pearl elk]

screenshot functionality of steam is good, but I think its because its the only thing they didnt screw up with a 2.0 update 😛

[brave dome]

I still plan on DDOS'ing the hell out of everyone involved with warcraft 3 reforged, on my death bed, in game, of coarse

the executive decision makers** in game, of coarse lol

[brave dome]

I don't even know if I have anything of steam enabled as over the years it caused an issue in one game or another lol

[pearl elk]

Valve really killed alot of the social aspects with all the private stuff

They shoulda done per game private rather than whole profile

but too late now

[brave dome]

I think everything wrong with Steam can be summed up with my point earlier, the consumer does not have any control, it is SAS fundamentally and always was, Gabe promising some backup repo in the case of Valve failing doesn't even make sense

[pearl elk]

Gabes gonna die before me so we'll see what happens then

public companies do have their pitfalls but relying on a single leader is not one of them

[brave dome]

lol, I was pretty damn certain of that too, he really lost a LOT of weight a while ago though

I don't think it's public companies, I don't want people to think that I think the public investment sector is a bad thing

but it almost always is when you are dealing with cosmetic industries

industries of art

[pearl elk]

look at Apple for example, Steve Jobs managed to make a comeback because the whole thing wasnt just him

[brave dome]

Way to bastardize everything about the medium before you start by totally blow your priorities

[pearl elk]

not that Im an Apple fan but its a pretty good redemption arc

[brave dome]

Apple is not a cosmetics company lol

The world would stop running to a degree where a lot of people would die if all iphones stopped working tomorrow

That does not mean that a profit incentive is always the best, but at least it keeps incentives away from catastrophic failure

[pearl elk]

oh forsure but there are different company structures, like OpenAI is a capped for profit

[brave dome]

The games industry on the other hand....

[pearl elk]

then you can tie yourself to a not for profit too, in game dev world it would be a not for profit game publisher... in what universe does that exist 😛

[brave dome]

It's like watching the yellow brick road to idiocracy paved

principled investment and mission statements

"some fates are worse than death"

[pearl elk]

people just dont care for cultural significance which is why most of our art is temporary

[brave dome]

it doesn't mean you are trying to tank the company or that you don't care about the budget or bleeding red

but it means, there are some fates worse than death

[pearl elk]

might as well be grafitting on the wall of the interweebs

someone will come wash it off very shortly

[brave dome]

I don't even remember what it looks like

[pearl elk]

It used to actually be okay, now its just junk

[brave dome]

Yeah, I know client version control is a pipedream lmao

[pearl elk]

well Epic are running into their own discoverability issues too

[brave dome]

Again, Tim would LOVE to gate fee if he had the line

[pearl elk]

but Im not convinced anyone cares cuz they want the netflix model where they just push whatevers hot... who cares what you actually want to play

[brave dome]

cough documentation cough

[pearl elk]

they discovered how to make a trello

[brave dome]

This is why I love GoG

[pearl elk]

apparently we are getting a new download manager woohoo

you can reorder downloads, high tech stuff

[brave dome]

haha I know, but at least it could help get the line building and some incentive pressure

#1 issue listed by every dev I know for a decade plus

it adds up

when your killer apps are all self published...

why would I care about getting the publishing bonus from an engine I'm not even sure is worth using?

LIke in the case where you are actually engine shopping

Ok yeah, that is fair actually, I see what you're saying

sand foundations and all

bceause elsewise I'd just use Unreal and publish on steam...

which is looking most likely atm?

Hey, the steam documentation is actually par and even really good in some cases

[pearl elk]

Is it bad that EA and Ubisoft have better launchers than Epic 😛

[brave dome]

1st party tutorial w/ a fully documented API, it saves a lot of time

[pearl elk]

It helps when you got heaps of gambling sites who documented your API 😛

[brave dome]

lol yes, but I don't think that's relevant haha, they've already got their market locked

Epic needs every bit of trickle they can get

You mean the Fortnight launcher 😛 ?

I'm not evne spell correcting that lol

[pearl elk]

I thought Fortnite was the launcher to the metaverse

that old EGS launcher thing will be deprecated ASAP

just need to get em all in UEFN and fab

[brave dome]

typing on far left monitor while reading on far right, derps certain

Also

Probably not anymore, but you used to be able to always negotiate with steam

I'm not a huge fan of the standardized rates

I don't think an indie with a 50mb game should be paying 30%, nor a title that would sell just as well in steams absense

or close to anyway, like warframe, poe, etc

[pearl elk]

Why would anyone want EA games 😛

[brave dome]

For the same reason 90% of this industry is funded from mobile games, those shitty match threes as Laura puts it 😛

[pearl elk]

Google Play is better than Steam, fite me 😸

[brave dome]

Ahh yes, like when rockstar adds layered DRM into all their modern titles years after release, so insane

A painful truth

Like shit, it even hurts a bit looking at Palworlds margins

talk about a starving market, jeeezuz

[pearl elk]

I noticed a few more "pokemons but with X's" popping up

[brave dome]

100%, great dev philosophy

The japanese are just built diff

[pearl elk]

the trick is to use something weebish in your marketing material

why you think Battle Royale took off 😛

[brave dome]

Because people didn't realize they were itching hard after the Hunger Games

lol

[pearl elk]

Im gonna make Final Fantasy but with Pasta

[brave dome]

lol, I don't even know what that could mean

[pearl elk]

its a soulslike extraction shooter

[brave dome]

oh ok lol I see now

I dig I dig

You're going to need some survival elements to keep it fresh though

like a hunger, thirst, and dissentary meter

ofc backrooms, can't forget that

[pearl elk]

you can get trench foot in our game, end up as an amputee

because we are inclusive

[brave dome]

I've already got the VHS post processing ready from messing around last week lol

[pearl elk]

last 80s post processing effect I used took more ms to render than the rest of the game

[brave dome]

..

its like all free

minus the noise sampling

lol

[pearl elk]

cant we just go back to CRTs so I dont have to fake the fuzz 😛

[brave dome]

or part of the default post processing stack

oh lol, yeah that might do it, did you radially sample the render?

but actually, a small amount of floor DOF blur would probably do it and part of the default post processing stack

Some per pixel radial blur would actually be the icing haha

Then just stick it on mobile for free with ads every five minutes, battabing, battaboom

[brave dome]

I still remember emulating ps2 for the first time on my PC monitor and being confused AF why it looked so bad lol

[pearl elk]

PS2 always looked bad thats why

[brave dome]

brooo

SOTC was the most realistic looking game for its time by miles

even if the gamecube was objectively a beast

[pearl elk]

I played Pong on one of those TVs which were a piece of furniture

[brave dome]

even if it did drop to 12 fps 😛

[brave dome]

loool

[pearl elk]

but I hated every moment of it because Id already played SF2 on SNES

[brave dome]

Sorryw hen you say the TV was a piece of furnature, haha

you're talking about old wooden boxed with an antennah and optical input? haha

[pearl elk]

well its true, those big ass TVs with the woodgrain and they had their own solid legs

[brave dome]

Haha I recall, I grew up with one

[pearl elk]

these days you can barely see the TV with the thin as bezels and wall mounts

[brave dome]

Man did the resident evil and silent hill look amazing on that thing

😛

and ff7

god dam

[pearl elk]

its like bro bezels used to be 1.5" 🤣

[brave dome]

beautiful

[pearl elk]

needs more pasta

[brave dome]

LOL, curved monitor? Yeah we had those when I was a kid... oh you mean concave?!

You can almost taste the vertex color interpolation

its so good

but actually though, fitting all the prerendered backgrounds and the work on those

that was the real deal

For all we know each bone bound vert group was it's own draw call

wait, was the ps1 actually a software render?

oh right, thats why the ps1 has its awesomely unique shimmer 😛

the OG wind waker screenshot still get me

[brave dome]

its actually kind of crazy how nintendo went from having the absolute chad console 1st and 2nd gen and then just called it quits after that lol

They must have been a little upset that everyone was talking about how good them directX box graphics were

[slim atlas]

Hi

[empty dune]

mech where

helldivers 2 gave me mech

you did not

😠

[slim atlas]

Good things cook longer

[empty dune]

quora was a mistake

[proud jay]

so what they're saying is star wars is the ripoff

cause dune was first

[empty dune]

its from quora, im surprised the user managed to know what a keyboard is to type that nonsense to begin with

[slim atlas]

they are only a year apart

what they mean

is the book series

and the first movie

which heavily implies that star wars stole ideas from the book...

but i feel like this in stark comparison with reality

[proud jay]

once more you are lying

they are more than a year apart

Dune was published in 1965

star wars script writing only started in 1973

[empty dune]

i think she was talking about the dune movie with patrick stewart

[proud jay]

well then that's even more stupid

[empty dune]

1984

[proud jay]

and also wrong again indeed

[empty dune]

the dune movie with patrick stewart was released in 1984

[lucid sand]

you guys have time to argue 🥺 ?

[proud jay]

and star wars in 1977

7 years is more than 1

ergo: glenniver is a liar

[empty dune]

oh i wasnt defending lawdy lol

i just thought she was talking about the movie and not the book

[slim atlas]

No

My info was wrong then

[proud jay]

as always

[slim atlas]

I love you dieter

[empty dune]

marry him

[lucid sand]

[slim atlas]

I am married

[lucid sand]

marry him again

[proud jay]

fuck off

[slim atlas]

Anytime

[empty dune]

tbh almost every late 1900s sci fi was in some way or another rip offs of each other. they all borrowed ideas but at the end delivered something new as well

thats what matters

[slim atlas]

I dont care either

Düne and Star wars are both fantastic

[proud jay]

it's Dune

[slim atlas]

If it's fantastic then I won't mind

[empty dune]

i never said otherwise lol

[slim atlas]

Düne

[proud jay]

no

[slim atlas]

You

[proud jay]

Die

[lucid sand]

so please I

lawdy, please him

[proud jay]

you might want to retake those german lessons

[empty dune]

no im good

[slim atlas]

I please him if he asks for it

[empty dune]

SPICE

[proud jay]

can you please me by leaving the server permanently?

[slim atlas]

No

[proud jay]

so once again, you're a liar

[slim atlas]

Who would take care of you

[empty dune]

if this was a game relation meter, dieter would underflow his hate meter and swing back to loving lawdy at this point

lol good luck

The Emperor shall fall.

If you mean the emptiness because of a potentially short draw distance, it isn't. That's just the empty horizon as it should be. It's a very desert planet.

Looks better at night.

Okay, but that's not as important as the fact that the Emperor's base will explode soon.

Right after I send my assassins to insta-kill his guards.

For Shai-Halud! ✊

When you have two missile batteries installed at the periphery of the enemy's main base, it makes hit-and-run(s) that much easier.

Who knows, he's probably just an angry person. many are. That's what it seems like from this one quote. I've never heard of the guy. But I know that when he wins a big award he choses to finds a way to shit on another field while he's winning the award. So we know right off the top he's a jackass who is probably not worth listening to.

composer for oppenheimer i.e. film music, so it's extra ironic

[glossy geyser]

Hi, I need some advices about my career, I got two offers one is using unreal to develop a front-end for business use, another is using OpenGL/Vulkan to develop graphic api for an OS calls harmony, which one is more helpful if I want to go after a career in game industry? Thanks

[cursive crypt]

#career-chat

[celest musk]

you'll probably learn more in the job which is making the graphics API, but that job will also be more demanding

and it can be a dead horse job (but so can the other)

[glossy geyser]

It's like using ue to make a interactive 3d map, they call it front-end in the interview🙃

[glossy geyser]

What do you mean by dead horse job? Does that mean it's hard to find another job with the graphics API experience?

[celest musk]

no, the graphics api experience is probably pretty valuable

but that project sounds like it might go nowhere 🤷

idk how big the harmony os ecosystem is tho, seems to be only relevant on the asian market for smart tv and phones?

[glossy geyser]

Oh, harmony OS is a company called Huawei's product, because the company||(or I should say China's technology development, but I don't want to be political) ||is sanctioned by US, it has limitation on android's api, so they decide to make everything on their own.

[proud jay]

they sued mr beast's feastables over that name

cause he had a flavour called Deez Nutz

and not he had to change it

well it was for the joke obviously

just hazel nut flavour or something

[pearl elk]

Your nuts are named hazel

Why dont people say cashew nut

[median wraith]

the what

here we call that "cashew" as is

[pearl elk]

Yeah same, but why peanut, hazelnut but no cashewnut

[median wraith]

the same way you don't say almondnut

because the cashew and the almond aren't inside the same way

no nuts there

well, old films were more interesting to me than most of the modern ones, the dialogue and actions feel different

i starded my day watching crew-7 splashdown

[median wraith]

but for sure there isn't any other film with that plot this days

[proud jay]

old movies are nice

they take the time to set stuff up

[median wraith]

The Jackal is way better for example, the plot isn't the super best but the music and all make it feel unique

[proud jay]

now it's action cuts every 20 seconds and telling a whole history in 4 secondds

[median wraith]

yep

and VFX that takes 1 year and 500 people to make for half of the film

isn't like you will use those for anything lol

[pearl elk]

You mean you have morals, how dare you sir

[median wraith]

bet the morals at this point are about the same everywere commonly

[proud jay]

I think there's immoral people anywhere tbh

I'm not familiar enough with south european culture to know if it is more prevalent there

[median wraith]

neither me with the north one

people here uses to claim the people in the north is more "boring" "cold"

tbh, usually I work with people from north and external cultures, never felt like that

[pearl elk]

Hevedy, a man of culture... knows his nuts 😹

[unborn lotus]

Yes

[median wraith]

the nuts again no please xd

[pearl elk]

I will only give vegemite sandwiches

[median wraith]

maybe at firsts some people is more reserved, but on the common day after you know someone? I don't think there will be much difference ?

[proud jay]

it depends for what lol

that is a strange "question"

guest for what

like are you coming over for an evening

[median wraith]

I guest for what

[proud jay]

just passing by

[unborn lotus]

Why else would you even bother to come? 😅

[proud jay]

idk

but if you're coming over to someone for an evening, you just discuss beforehand if you eat together or not?

[median wraith]

Maybe is just the people thinks we are sandwiches here

they are that open

[unborn lotus]

No you gotta have something ready and offer it

[proud jay]

do you think I just have 5 cooked meals ready to go at any point if no one told me they wanted food?

[median wraith]

Usually the people that have the less are the biggest givers

[pearl elk]

You dont get food unless you bring wine

[median wraith]

that's in between families here

I want to do a cycling holiday in Girona, heard it's amazing

[median wraith]

The travel from Santander to UK in boat is about 800€ man

the most absurd price you can tell

[proud jay]

[median wraith]

at least you travel with the car

[proud jay]

why would you go to the UK?

[median wraith]

Girona it is

fun fact, the person that used me recently lives there

[proud jay]

[median wraith]

[proud jay]

I don't think he's real

sorry to disappoint

[median wraith]

[pearl elk]

Do they use you to pick their oranges?

[median wraith]

UK have nice natural places to visit if you ask me

the roads look interesting

[proud jay]

the north is cool I guess

[empty dune]

Used you? For what

[median wraith]

used me physically and morally for a complete lie after all

[proud jay]

again?

or was this the chick living 1000km away

[median wraith]

But this was 1km from home

[pearl elk]

I wish someone would use me physically

[median wraith]

no, this was a date, no a relationship

[proud jay]

I'm starting to think you like being used

[median wraith]

but a person that claim that wanted a relationship

[empty dune]

I need to test car safety standards, interested?

[median wraith]

yeah, it's my passion

[pearl elk]

Cant be any worse than my ex 😅

[median wraith]

@proud jay you pointed it, those places aren't the best to meet people

[empty dune]

Did i ever tell you the story of Darth Cat Dissolver The Insane?

[proud jay]

[unborn lotus]

Just put game dev on tinder, they will know you're rich

[proud jay]

cause you won't have any dates

[pearl elk]

Game devs gamified Tinder so you cant win 😅
