#

800km for alavara (name of the pasta)

#

there is also an animecon there this year

#

so its going to be a double adventure

#

travelling is not a big deal

pearl elk
#

Final Fantasy but with pasta

timber viper
#

i would travel 800km for very few things

#

people I love, pasta and maybe for business

pearl elk
#

I would travel 800km but I dont think Id travel 800 more

timber viper
#

its technically 1600

#

i also travel back

median wraith
timber viper
#

i'd do anything for people i love

#

except giving up on anime which they're stubbornly trying to

median wraith
#

if that's the case then yeah

timber viper
#

would you

#

travel 800km for adopting a red panda

pearl elk
#

Everyone on their way to Lauras right now

median wraith
#

@sand oxide for what would you travel 800km tell us

timber viper
#

your red panda love is not sincere

median wraith
#

damm

pearl elk
#

I can offer a red kangaroo

median wraith
#

so are you actually me from the future ?

proud jay
median wraith
#

hahaa

timber viper
#

thats what matters for me

#

but objectively, half of the people believe its a regular pasta

proud jay
#

how can it be so good that you go 800km for it though

timber viper
proud jay
#

holy shit

#

I'd travel 800km in the other direction

timber viper
#

lmfao

you could die there

#

I would probably die by eating this too tbh

i want one now

#

asshless stop talking about my pasta

pearl elk
timber viper
#

I would pay you jets if you could cook them for me

proud jay
#

it can't be that hard

pearl elk
#

Is that canned corn?

timber viper
#

but I met with expert cooks, they cant get the exact taste

median wraith
proud jay
#

pasta sauce cheese and corn

#

idk why you would ever put corn in there

timber viper
#

he couldnt get it right

#

and no he doesnt suck he's really a good cook

proud jay
#

maybe you just like gross shit

median wraith
#

I have to improve my cooking skills

#

distance between two of my fav cities that i regularly travel between XD

proud jay
#

why

median wraith
proud jay
#

only reason I would travel that far is for a holiday of at least a week

#

and then preferrably by plane

#

not like hev by car to then get dumped

median wraith
#

I had a work mate that traveled to Disney Paris with the ex, spend all the holidays accumulated over a year and the money just to she leave 2 weeks later

proud jay
#

is this tradition amongst you and your friends?

empty dune
median wraith
proud jay
#

why would anyone willingly travel 1800km in a car

pearl elk
#

Why would you go to Disneyland with your ex

median wraith

how is sitting in a car for like 20 hours fun @empty dune

empty dune
#

you dont do it alone obviously

proud jay
#

I think you and I have different definitions of fun

median wraith
#

this person I told you from the last week, did almost 800km in row in a single day, about 12h of travel

#

damm nightmare

#

when I did the 1000km was split in 2 days

pearl elk
#

I could cut the trip to 10hrs by sitting on 250kmph 😂

median wraith
#

with 20 hours of travel without stop bet at some point an imaginary friend spawns in the near seat

pearl elk
#

Could get a robot with chatgpt brain to talk to while you drive

empty dune
# proud jay I think you and I have different definitions of fun

not really, its mostly a cultural thing. indians by nature of our city layouts are acclimated to hours and hours of travel just to get to a boring normal place like a restaurant. for example, a 3 hour travel in a car would take you to 3 different countries in europe but for us it would a trip to the city outskirts. note im not specifically talking about distance, im talking more about the time taken to get from A to B

median wraith
pearl elk

Probably better convo than a human who would snore half the way

yay, f windows, I attached my monitor and it moved my taskbar from left to right on my main monitor. Just to f with me.

#

for fuck's sake

#

all I did was update my drivers

#

and it wrecked my PC

#

kudos to system restore

#

😭

#

wtf man

#

and people say AMD was the one with driver issues

#

???

#

the only issue I had was when everyone in Cyberpunk 2077 turned black

#

and that was worked around by rolling back drivers

#

and CDPR released a fix soon

#

this is the third time I am trying to update Nvidia drivers and the third time I ran into problems

#

so I shouldn't update my drivers?

#

I used a system restore

#

so I'm back to where I was

#

did you ever use driver booster?

#

that's how I've been getting almost all driver updates

#

since the last decade

#

lmaooo no it's an actual software

#

shit name, ik, but it's good

#

fair enough lol

#

if it didn't create a restore point before the update I would've been fucked

#

welp then guess I'm stuck with my current drivers

#

I just wanted to bring my PC up to date after a few months but apparently that's not a good idea

I love how the Blender splash screen says - Starting Game - when I open it, because it's installed via Steam. 😄

#

Always confuses me for one second. 😄

fathom wadi
#

I installed Blender once from Steam, then realised its a really bad idea to have it update there. Most blender people I know have several installs because add-ons can break between versions.

fathom wadi
#

totally depends what I'm doing at the time. Common ones I use are Blenderkit, the Sketchfab plugin. Those give me assets to work with in scenes. Auto-rig pro is decent but I dont mind rigging manually most of the time. I have a EasyBake, FlipFluids, Blender Hair Tool, RopeTools and UV Packmaster.

Luckily, we have genetic editing and cloning tech for the hamsters.

#

Let's begin the Hamster Power Ltd. farm.

#

I'd say we can begin with 10,000?

celest musk
#

i guess ethanol is more efficient

#

and doesn't poop

summer cedar
#

What if the hamsters run on ethanol?

#

Would they run faster?

celest musk
#

not at all

summer cedar
#

Are you sure?

#

We should cook and package; just to be sure.

proud jay

depending on the amount, the hamster might be dead

oh, US sending 300 million dollars worth of weapons to ukraine

summer cedar
#

The show must go on.

#

They are getting the funds from refunds to the Pentagon, according to the internet.

summer cedar
# proud jay refunds of what

Apparently, the Pentagon had been allocated some funds to spend on crayons, cotton buds, toenail clippers, and other sophisticated 6G technology.

#

The stationary shop deals that fell through leave some of that money unutilised, so it's refunded to the Pentagon.

#

The Purple House wants to use that refund money to send Ukraine butterscotch cakes.

#

This is fine.

I am SO HAPPY I didn't splurge on Diablo 4.

#

It's coming to Game Pass. 😄

I should probably use my gamepass. It's just been sitting there

summer cedar
#

They released Control: Ultimate Edition today.

unreal ether
#

I'm just excited to try things I wouldn't normally buy, like starfield, doom, and wolfenstein

summer cedar
#

Wolfenstein is pretty good. 🙂 But, it's a stealthier game than Doom, I daresay.

#

Now, all I need Microsoft to do is to hoodwink Sony into releasing their games on Game Pass too. 😄

tulip orbit

I should get the gamepass, like cuppatea said, try games I wouldnt normally pay for

I recall rage quitting hzd, the PC control was out of my capabilities.

summer cedar
#

I enjoyed HZD. But, I think long-playthrough games are beyond me now. I feel the urge to work, which is blasphemy and not good for finishing long games.

cursive crypt
#

It was not long playthrough, just few wasted hours.

#

At least, I don't regret trying it out.

summer cedar
#

Oh yeah. It was fun. I loved fighting those sabertooth robots.

cursive crypt
#

It kinda reminded me too much of AssCreed, and I hate its locomotion.

#

They have good videos on the tech tho.

summer cedar
#

When it was first ported to Steam, it stuttered very badly.
Idiots online told me it was my card being too old to play it.
I was like, "Yeah, no. Shit optimisation." Couple of days later, they optimised it.

Played like butter thereafter. 😄

#

You'll love hzd2.5:fw37ght even more.

Found the Vim user.
What does that one do? Toggle the header?

proud jay
#

same

#

it looked nice and had some cool mechanics

#

but it evolved to being the same thing over and over quite quickly

empty dune
#

I got bored of hzd cause i had maxed out every upgrade and hadn't even explored 25% of the map

#

The progression in that game needs some serious rework

#

Yeah, i get what you're saying

#

I think i reached the sand city before my motivation ran out

#

There are many cities in the hzd map

#

One of them is in a desert

#

I forgot the name

#

Oh wow that's like the first 5 hours of the game

unreal ether
#

I like those, but I will admit they can get boring pretty quick. Just doing things for the sake of doing things

empty dune
#

I put in around 30 hours iirc

#

Or was it 25

#

That's the starting town

#

Lol

#

What in your opinion is the best way to arrange a narrative heavy game that also has a very repetitive mechanical loop? (im taking notes)

summer cedar
#

29.4 hours here.

#

I think I got to the swamp and stuff, but I don't remember now.
There was a MASSIVE tower that I spent 30 minutes trying to climb for fun.

#

Then, I got distracted by other stuff and never went back. 😄

empty dune
#

I see. Im gonna pick your brain here, how would you adapt this "look here, shiny, look there, forward" approach to say a space game? Show the points of interest on a map? That doesn't sound very exciting

#

Hmm, i haven't played much of ff except for 7, ill have to revisit that

#

Right

#

That's true, mass effect ties in the outside world very tightly to the people in your ship

#

Basically the Andromeda dlc that got canned lol

#

I think what you're saying is, the time spent in the game must be somehow reflected in the narrative/over world. Did i get that right?

#

I shee

summer cedar
empty dune
#

Wait, so would you say having a tutorial teach you all the mechanics in the game right at the start is a bad idea? Cause that's what ubisoft games regularly do.

#

Okay i think im beginning to understand

pearl elk
#

Here's how you play FPS games, we know you've been playing them for the past 30 odd years but you're forced to do our basic training over and over and over and over

empty dune
#

So i think what im gonna do is, have my narrative slowly take the player from the "center" of the star system to the outer reaches. Not only does it make a gameplay progression sense (a trip to the outer solar system requires much more prep and facilities than a trip to say earth-moon) and it would make a narrative sense as well, since logically the longer it takes to get somewhere, the less effective the law will be and thus the more opportunities for conflict

summer cedar
#

Basically, why would you step out into a desert in your undies with no purpose whatsoever?

#

You'd only do it with some intention or purpose.

#

Leaving a gamer with no idea whatosever as to why he is where he is, is dumb.

empty dune
#

I was initially planning on doing just this, here's the map, go have fun

summer cedar
#

Open world doesn't mean directionless and brainless.

empty dune
#

But im beginning to realise that's a bad idea

summer cedar
#

SO, give your gamer the freedom, but also point them in directions where they CAN go.

#

They don't HAVE to, but it'd be great once they get over their drug problem and want something to do.

#

Also, don't forget to leave mushrooms lying around.

#

That helps.

pearl elk
#

I just want to cultivate the desert in my undies

empty dune
#

That is true

summer cedar
#

Correct, but since you probably won't design a good game off the bat, go for 2 hooks.

#

50% better than 100%.

#

Or just one hook really.

empty dune
#

If only i could afford half an f 35 lol

summer cedar
#

Ok... half a hook.

empty dune
#

I could learn so much

summer cedar
#

Fine... 1/4th of a hook.

empty dune

Im actually not sure of who im targeting to be very frank. Like, age, gender, etc. I know what genre and sub genre i was targeting but that was it. I had figured i didn't need more than that for a debut title that probably nobody would hear about anyway

pearl elk
#

Oh well I have news for you, my main target is PvE cuz I want to lean into some city building since I enjoy those too

I should probably just do some recording but Im not very organised, I tend to be all over the place most of the time

#

Cant say, never had it 😮

empty dune
#

i had it 9 times so far

#

stop stealing my luck

pearl elk
#

Im just a germophobe, you know that guy in American Pie who has to go home to use the toilet... thats me 😛

#

I only just found out that it has combat

#

Coming from a UT modding background though Im definitely in tune with being able to tweak the gamerules fairly easily so Im making sure to code similar hooks in. Ive got this idea where you could play more of tower defense against the local creatures, if you just wanna build you can still have environmental hazards or just turn those off and have player versus an AI faction enemy or any combo

#

Jeez thats a wall of text 😛

#

Ive got to do some of this for the onboarding in the campaign anyway to teach people all the bits of the game rather than throwing it all at em at once

pearl elk
#

You gotta be ready to listen I reckon too, if people try your game and theres a general consensus best not to ignore because you know better than those lowly gamers

#

QA couldnt possibly know better than us highly trained programmers right 😉

#

Oh that fun physics bug, yeah I fixed that. Now the movement feels stiff just like the suits from marketing, perfect!

empty dune
#

that makes sense

#

i also have a bit of a leg up given the genre and type of game im making has been tried before, many times in fact. and they have all mostly proven to be successful

#

its not saturated or anything but its not a hyperfocused niche either

In other news, apparently, some kind of life form (probably bacterial) was found on Mars a couple of years ago and NASA accidentally killed it. Good to know, humans keeping in character.

shy veldt
summer cedar
#

From the article -- NASA may have unknowingly found and killed alien life on Mars 50 years ago, scientist claims. One researcher hypothesizes that experiments carried out by NASA's Viking landers in 1976 could have inadvertently killed microbes living in Martian rocks. Other experts are skeptical. --

#

And was probably more recent, too.
Genocide in 1976 makes more sense.

And the Viking experiment that may potentially have found life has been known about since the day that test was performed in 1976

Oh lord, I'm positive if aliens are visiting us; they are here taking wood and other things that sparsely grow/are available on most planets like fauna.

We're more likely to trade pearls and food with them than bullets if dialog started.

Trade? Yes, we will have trade.
We will TAKE. They will GIVE.

And all that will happen without us intending it.... probably.

So, umm... I have imprisoned a one-year-old boy after a siege.
And he's a gambler.

My lone dynast queen finished the rebellion and invasion wars against her realm.
The family is safe.
The traitors have been flogged, blackmailed, and banished from the realm.
They shall be waylaid on their way out of the kingdom.
The babies have been betrothed to hopefully same-age-range grooms.
They shall secure territorial claims for the next generation.

I read about this stuff in an Ars Technica article just a few minutes ago. While Epic certainly hasn't done much to make a decent competitor to Steam, I do kind of agree that a 30% cut is too much for Steam to take.

brittle holly
#

Well he spent all his cash on buying exclusivity rights

Epic wants to make this all about them and their competition with Steam, and Apple, and Google and... something about it seems suspicious.

I just need a fake grass carpet, and some patio lights

I could make a fake one

then your house/apartment has an extra room

this is how I live in a 12 bedroom house

it's just one big room with 11 sheds, one inside the other

Not enough room in my apartment... but a fake shed against the wall would work

its really happening

it's for the better of humanity

they don't want to ban it btw, just move it into american hands

which is the same as banning effectively though, cause the chinese are never gonna sell the technology lol

maybe the brand name, but then whatever muricans come up with will be more shit probably

When I was homeless I didn't have anything to do but play Hearthstone and scroll TikTok. I can honestly say it's not a loss to have it banned. It will save millions of thumbs from RSI due to scrolling past every video after 0.01 second because its full of absolutely dogshit boring content.

I did find a couple of funny comedy tiktokers but you could watch them on youtube shorts or in compilation videos

They seriously can't be using the security issue because it's a Chinese parent company as the main issue however, considering the security of their own homegrown software is often a worse threat. The reds under the bed idea is right. It's a corporate takeover by any other name

TF2 is one of the best single player games you will ever play imo

brittle holly
#

It had a decent campaign but a tad short

summer cedar
#

Titanfall 2 is available via EA Play basic.

#

Which you also get if you have Game Pass, I think.

narrow patrol
#

I think it's short if you expected Halo, or thought you were paying $60 for a single-player game, but in the context that the first Titanfall didn't even have a single-player campaign and the second was still predominantly a multiplayer thing, I thought it was just right.

summer cedar
#

Yes, TF2 is a masterpiece.

#

The PvP community was still active when I played it a short while ago. Fantastic game.

narrow patrol
#

Also some of the best level design I've ever seen. The way the levels loop around on themselves to create these vertical routes is nuts. By like the third level they're building a prefab house around you while you try to fight off waves of enemies, then you climb up a sideways town into a death arena, and that isn't even the level everyone talks about.

summer cedar
#

I loved the time shifts, though.

#

Everything simply plays seamlessly. You never feel any hiccups.

#

Running into a room full of soldiers, phase shifting to the other side, and finally reappearing to kill all of them was absolutely amazing.

narrow patrol
#

I've never seen someone else bring it up, but isn't it weird that Titanfall 2 and Dishonored 2 both had a level where your normal set of abilities is replaced with a device that lets you hop between past and present with the push of a button, and those games came out within 2 weeks of each other?

#

To this day I wonder if it was just an odd coincidence, or if there was some common seed that inspired the same idea in both.

summer cedar
#

Perhaps some devs on either team phase-shifted into the other's labs and stole the secrets.

narrow patrol

Two of my favorite games of all time, too.

Buying coffee stocks is a good idea, given how expensive good coffee is becoming over here and how much everyone's consuming it.

Depends on the coffee company. Do your own research. Disclaimer.

Was rehab tough?

So, I worked and afforded it all myself lol it absolutely was a nightmare starting out my game dev career professionally during this time but I survived lol

Rehab now actually sucks worse because focusing on like hip muscles

#

And that shi hurts

#

Rehab before was always lighter since usually post op

summer cedar
#

Those insurance riders are the reason I didn't bother buying health insurance. In India, at least for now, most of the medical procedures are affordable and there are free hospitals available. As long as you don't have any 'rare' stuff, you're good to pay the bills 100%. The insurance policies have way too many riders for my comfort.

shy veldt
summer cedar
#

As is my mum, sadly.

#

The insurance authority announced they're working on a no-rider plan, which should be released in one or two years. I'll probably opt into that.
