its my capture card, it only captures at 16:9. It'll do 4k but theres no way to output to 4k and crop it in software
Well, I am done with Manor Lords for the moment. 🙂
I think I've pushed the game to 'bug mode'. The city has over 50 families and I have 6 regiments. The number of soldiers in the regiment fluctuate randomly and fill up when I rally them (which is incorrect). An enemy wave spawned and the bandits are stuck with one leg on either side of the map's border. 🤣 They aren't moving either. The simulation is stressed at this moment. I'll wait for a patch before continuing.
All in all, it's a fun game and you've to be on your toes to keep the economy running. The need to min-max at the beginning of the game on default settings, is a bit annoying. It offers little flexibility. Other than that, the game runs and plays great.
been making my dungeon generator, its mostly in a plugin, tho it may not be set up 100% correctly as a plugin. But should I start the actual game in the same project? or create a new project? probably best to create a new project...?
Create a new project.
That way, if you wish to package the plugin and sell it later for $5,000, then it'd be easy to do so.
yeah, just if I update things while I have it in the game project, I'd have to manually update the generator code
Surely you can keep the generator project code seperate from the game project code in the same project
yeah the base map generator code and such is kept seperate in the plugin
or what you could do is what Epic does lately, put the generator game stuff into another plugin and have two
tbh you could make the game a plugin too 😹
There's this copy+paste revolutionary technique that you can use to create duplicates and separate the plugin, for later packaging. I hear it works great.
you can use git modules if you want a separate repo for the plugin in the subdir of the project but it can get abit tedious if you got alot of modules
if I copy/paste the plugin directory to the new project, and say I dont add c++ to the new project, would the plugin show up? or do I have to do a build plugin or special compile?
My brain is foggy right now, I could probably just start the project and find out
if its built for that engine version you wont need to recompile
having a lot of crashes with Industria
stop playing it while driving
you should play Supreme Commander instead 😛
will be honest with you, this game is SO AWESOME and was made technically just by 4 persons
that was the best,it was a lan party favourite
this is awesome man, baked light still makes things look way better than current gen lol
XDDD
Baked lighting gives you more control over the artistic look and atmosphere of the lights, no?
Precision, to be precise. 😛
well it gives more render distance quality that for sure
1/10 the cost of current light we got in realtime and still better quality
umm I dunno, I might argue RT lighting updates give artists more control because they dont have to wait for bakes to process
the issue with RT light rigth now last time I checked it
its the emissive light for example cannot be canceled from baked etc
or neither in lumen
you also have to understand lighting too, for example... Looking at you Helldivers 2... Dont give people flashlights in heavy fog at night time and expect them to be able to see anything
Labyrinthe is largely based around flashlights too but I can set the graphics so I dont even need to use the torches most of the time. Abit like in reality when not using a torch can be better because the light blinds you so you end up with darker backgrounds
I mean the best light is realtime if performance wasn't an issue
but it is what it its
Im convinced realistic lighting shouldnt be the aim because it often breaks gameplay
so for me its more about the lighting models themselves than whether its baked or realtime
dont even get me started on reflections 😛
You should play some alyx if you haven't, best baked lighting there is, and the editor baker is something else too
good part Source 2 have realtime path tracer preview to see the light areas
wish in UE we had the same because the baked light is total different
neither produces the same results and seems like GPU baker is kinda abandoned
Wasn't there something in the release notes this time, that they added a feature to let you view the lighting in the viewport in real-time?
thats cuz the path tracer is used for verifying the accuracy of the raytracing, they would need another one just to show the lightmass results
Ah, maybe I got that mixed up with HLODs in viewport.
???
guyss i wanna get this right, i can still USE rider EVEN AFTER MY SUBS EXPIRES??
probably no updates though
its ok i think rider is really stable now when i used their free trial
yeah but you might not get the updated plugins for newer engine versions possibly
You get a perpetual licence to use hte version you're currently on or somehting.
I do with resharper at least.
oh u mean like when unreal gets updated with new stuff, my rider probably wont read it? 😦
ohh hmmm i wanna check that out
and compare
Theres a plugin on the UE side for Rider too but you might not use it, it just feeds information back to Rider about how many Blueprints use a Class, things like that
ohh... i thought BP translate it to code on rider. that would be more sick 😄
but i think that's ok too
I dont have many worries now I use VS Code and AngelScript 😛
yeah Im just commenting how much easier my life is now I left Rider and VS Chonky Edition behind
but isnt VS code very laggy? LIke sometimes it didnt appear on unreal and when you wanna delete a script, the method is troublesome?
I just wouldnt use C++ 😹
So graphically Industry is 10 and the levels are really nice too
Didn't expect to be actually kinda Half Life 2 gameplay
Industria you mean
Seems there is a second game on the way
When I heard the name Industria, I thought it was a building game or sim.
Then I saw the pics on Google.
I was definitely expecting some steampunk city builder
glfw
Use a lib for windows and I/O. Leave the in-depth stuff eventually for later.
so what youre telling me is all you had to do was replace g with r
no wonder people are being replaced with AI
mons is replaced with calamari
@broken sigil they tried way too hard to make it difficult to kill machines lol, these fricken deer are OP
dfuq is that language?
odin
For what purpose you are trying it? Isn't it better to research before that?
Super random question here but maybe you know something:
I have the feeling that suddenly a lot of people are playing Max Payne again. I also started playing it a couple of days ago (maybe because of me seeing it "everywhere", can't remember that this was the reason for me picking it up again though) and I now start seeing all kinds of content with it. Even Joe Wintergreen has changed his profile pic on X to himself as Max Payne^^
Does anyone know why so many are picking it up again?
Maybe your driver is not detected by the lib. Can't say w/o more info.
They are playing Fallout.
Doing it for the "lolz", certainly does not sound important.
I mean, a f odin... wtf is even that
cheezus chrys
There are new replacement each other month.
Why not Lua, Angelscript, Python, etc.
Let me tell ya, I see only game shit here
This is not a C alternative
This is more like Lua alternative, maybe.
AngelScript etc
That's why I put it in the screenshot
The only thing they can boast about is that tech and these companies.
Don't take me wrong, I don't say it is bad, I don't know the lang.
Being a C replacement/alternative is poo.
JOY OF PROGRAMMING - Software Engineering Simulator is an immersive 3D programming puzzle game about automating and controlling realistic machines, robots, drones and more using real Python code. Build actual coding skills while playing, solve exciting bite-sized programming challenges and progress to unlock new programming features and improved...
Price
$17.99
yea
oh, wait, it is Python
😄
When you buy it on itch you also get a drop of the full Odin source code and all source assets
That kinda cool, ngl
... okay, after the rant about C alternative/replacement, I think I see the goal is just about games.
Which aint bad
It will be a compromise at best.
I don't know someone being able to beat Lua in terms of performant script
On other hand, Lua is bleh, so a C contestant is welcome
not sure if its interpreter beats lua interpreter but
daScript is high-performance strong statically typed programming language designed to be data oriented in C++ environment.
they claim that their jit outperforms luajit
ah, there are interpreter benchmarks too
da is engine prefix i guess
forgot its name
Ah, I recall that one from some time ago. Still kicking I see. Interesting... ponkkis, port your template to that?
instant hot reload
... nice
On ultra hard it was super difficult, no clue how it's on lower options but holy crap it's extremely difficult on ultra hard
It does get easier with upgrades but then you get in a new area with new enemies 😆

Jarvis would still be rewriting it 100 years from now. 😅
Cant
Farm simulator 2024
Cant compete with that
My grandpa bought a ps4 just to play farm simulator 2018
That's teh thing about farm simulator. It grows on you.
We do have a farm
Each family member has like 10-15 acres they do shit with. Nothing to crazy
Man an actual farm is expensive as fuck
500k for some damn tractor tires
My uncle has a tiny tractor
With a little excavator bucket
Mostly use that to lay down fresh gravel on the roads
panicf
@timber viper I request one last extremely degen anime
Tf
What's that
I'm not weird
I'm just tired of friendship prevails all and other childish bullshit
🍣
Doesnt have to be dirty, just show blood and use profanity other than damn
Have you watched drifters?
i mean if you just want "good" anime with proper narrative or so and not something degen there are many
I'm not touching one piece or my hero academy
Wow
Frieren is best anime ever created
as in technicality
10/10, nothing more nothing less
then there is 86
it has two parts
saga tanya the evil
kaguya-sama
Date a live
i think its on fucking season 5, i dont get why its still on production
first season* of haruhi suzumiya
bunny girl senpai
Heavenly Delusion
thats all I got
dont come back for next two weeks
Shadows House + re:Zero too
do you know if the wallet in steam allows to cancel funds and retrive them?
Cause it has your name in it? 😛
No, you can only use it for next purchases, it stays in wallet
STEAM WALLET REFUNDS
You may request a refund for Steam Wallet funds within fourteen days of purchase if they were purchased on Steam and if you have not used any of those funds.
Oh mb I thought you’re talking about getting back funds that you initially refunded to wallet, for some reason
I'm going to create another steam account. I don't mind losing the two games that I bought. Two indie games with very low price.
my ban instincts kicked in when I saw the steam logo, got the steam gift scams flashbacks 😂
the ppl that I know from an old forum that closed are in steam but it seems that all of them access steam like once a year, once every two years. Or even have gone silent for years...
You know you made me realize for the first time
lol
darling the franxx
I watched first episode of Frieren
Must be second season or something cus I am lost already
Fryhen
less degen stuff: https://www.universetoday.com/163927/everything-in-the-universe-fits-in-this-one-graph-even-the-impossible-stuff/
The Universe has physical constants, such as the force of gravity that define everything. If these constants were any different, our Universe would look quite different. When you consider the types of objects that exist in our Universe – from quarks and bacteria to fleas and superclusters — different forces dominate their existence. A fascinatin...
appearently we were inside of a black hole
so we'll radiate into nothingness at some point
Dammit Nancy
black hole DLC
you need the upgrade first, then you can get that DLC
damn, which stats do I need to grind?
strength, did you mistakenly put it all in charisma?
I think I put some in the "miscellaneous"
Wanted to see what it does, turns out it's RNG and can downgrade you with anxiety and similar issues
There should be a DLC that fixes this, right?
as it seems pretty unbalanced
It is a sandbox game, you put points on skills which you chose to train.
Gfs are locked behind "social skills".
ah f*, I got no points there
Didn't think it was important, the description said "enables talking to people", didn't sound too important
thats one of my favourite parts of Void Bastards is the random negative conditions
Ye, devs documentation error, actually gfs are subset of people
damn inheritance
should have went for composition
talking to people is the easy part, them actually understanding anything you say is the tricky one
I feel like I should wear one of those tags but instead of "Hi my name is ___" it should be "Hi, Im a Game Dev!"
lol thats definitely me when everyone comes out of the talks at UnrealFest
just this rumble of voices, everyone doing their social circling and sales pitches
In my early 20s I was kinda like that too, took some intentional effort to practice. Turns out it is really like a muscle, more you flex it properly, better it gets.
So many more options in your 20s, highly recommend doing it now and not be single in your 40s
married, previously married, 60yr old cougars and the occasional young lady who likes older men... Not much in between and most have kids
kids arnt too much of an issue, its the goobers everywhere 😹
gg Google
your fault for checking anything other than the search results tab
that one got it correct XD
for once, Google is terribad these days
I did an image search for something the other day, I got a heap of wrong hits all news article images and only about 2 pages worth. I remember when Google would return basically every image on the internet in image search
kids are a deal breaker for me kek, i know id be a terrible parent
it tries to promote stuff, sanitise your results and somehow augment it with ai, leading to barely any useful results
bit different if its your own, its not the kids thats the deal breaker usually... its the other parent hanging around their ex all the time
it's pinterest results now, and you can't even search by xxl or custom image sizes...i have to use bing for that
crazy how bing had the last laugh
pinterest is pretty good but theres alot of images which are just thumbnails since the source iis gone
atleast I can see how poorly Google stocks are doing on Google 😛
i once had this 30 yo with a 5 yo kid want to get into a committed relationship after like literally knowing each other for 2 weeks
how desperate are you smh
well if its just making things official thats not so bad but if its like keeping a toothbrush there, thats abit much
everyone's either VERY desperate or not interested at all, these days.
The camps are polarising.
speaking of camps, i found a great way to kill bandit camps. Just use stand your ground as your army stance, wait for their effectiveness to drop, switch to push forward, kill a couple of their guys, go back to stand your ground and rinse repeat
Stand your Ground is the best stance for spears.
I have seven regiments now, but the game is bugged. So, I'll wait for a patch.
The enemies that spawned in my game are stuck on the border. 😄
Lack of democracy detected
Well, I AM playing the Edge map. 🙂
i had to uninstall hd2 to compile 5.4 source 😔
F
want to borrow some space?
I do have a usb3.2 nvme drive too but its not plugged in atm
A lot of segregation for Games*
GamesFast
GamesSmall
GamesSlow
where's Gamestop?
GamesJust
Next year: GamesFastFast
thats when I go to PCIE5 nvmes
i like how you allocated 1.5 TB just for ue5
50:50 Games:UE
as it should be
do you like my A drive?
blashpemy
you dont have the space to buy MP content
the one time i wait for a sale and its not there, most of the months they have like 5 sales
spend it on a new drive 😛
does it smell like democracy?
no, it smells like molten metal at this point
which i guess is the smell of democracy
so yes it does
do you have any nvme slots available?
highly recommend usb-c nvme enclosure, cables alittle chonky but speeds are very fast
i have one of those
but dont really need it you know
i hardly play most of the games installed in the system anyway
I like that Steam works pretty well with libraries on removal drives
I dont even use egs to uninstall those games, I tend to just go in a hit delete lol
kek
you know, i really dont understand, why a 25% launch discount for literally the most wishlisted game on steam?
its gonna sell, everyone knows that. the discount just hurts the revenue at that point probably
the EGS updates cant come soon enough tbh, its been horrible for too long
well the price is matched on EGS and Steam for Manor Lords, it should technically be cheaper on Epic
damn publishers soaking up the benefits
well some games Ive noticed I got an extra 10% for having it wishlisted or something, theres typically a grey percentage next to the green one
yeah like this one, Im assuming thats a bonus somehow
this one was a little disappointing tbh
Frostpunk 2 is where it'll be at tbh
New Cycle is alright but its such a clone its not funny
I have a mate who has sold a new UE games on Steam, he vowed never to do a day 1 sale ever
Raindust, do you have around 10-15k rupees to spare?
depends on what you want me to spare it for lol
Go to Amazon and look up Silicon Power. They sell very cheap, NAND SSDs and Nvmes.
I like trains, but will wait for a bigger discount for that one.
They're shit for anything needing lots of writing, but for games, they're great.
PNY were pretty cheap too
ah, then its a no. i usually work on the same drives that host games
You should always have separate drives for games, separate for UE, and separate for Windows.
i know, im just too lazy for that lol
$35 isnt a bad price, our $ is in the crapper thats why some games are alittle over priced atm
ewww light theme
I don't want to play these months, so I'm into r/patientgamers
Oh yeah, that reminds me.
My Wallet is moving towards FIVE... FIVE WHOLE dollars, now.
Use Draculan accent
yeah its more expensive for you guys, full price is $5 more
@fleet tangle Turns out the whole dollar and fifty cents purchaser wasn't a typo. 😄 Steam credit my wallet yesterday.
It ain't much of a diff, trains are cool 
I would pay to unsubscribe from this newsletter ✅
Ok. Send $3,000 please.
3 peanuts, take it or leave it
3 peanuts + $3,000. Non-negotiable.
I also love how money solves everything in Manor Lord. 😄
I could probably buy 2 or 3 games off my wishlist if I sold all my cards
Indeed, gaming does pay.
open it and watch its value go down to 3 cents kek
Yeah, sometimes I think I should play CS 2, Fortnite, and whatever all the jobless people are paying, just to get the valuable loot to sell on marketplaces.
Then again, I could just play for an MMO guild in a sweatshop and make money, too.
Choices, choices. 🤔
Yes, the perks of being wealthy.
you missed the potion crafting buzz in the OG WoW
I remember. But, in those days, I couldn't play WoW in India.
The net connection sucked.
So, I played Ragnarok instead.
But, I was super young and didn't know the true, wily ways of the world.
Otherwise, I'd have been ub3r rich by now.
WoW streamers still making bank
Yeah, and the same people will complain about low-quality graphics in other games.
🤣
Time to watch ep.3 of The New Gate.
oh boy, if I sold my TF2 stash Id be loaded
then do it? these things depreciate over time
I wonder if its worth more with less mileage 😹
probably is
I read these and I wonder, maybe they let to AI to generate these descriptions these days.
pretty sure thats a mod that shows those details
Devs suck out of their fingers something to feel new or get some interest.
yeah this Backburner isnt exactly that great, its just got a lick of paint and the killstreak counter
same gun in vintage skin is $0.14
unless youre a collector, youre better off selling these
they have sentimental value tbh
ah
but it woulda been nicer if I coulda been using this strange gun from earlier on in my TF2 career 😛
Backburner reminds me of that time on the last stage of Dust Bowl where I took out the entire enemy team, its before they got rid of the health buff on the weapon.
came up the back stairs and just blitz everyone, ran back down and even got a few more for a second time
star citizen marketplace
lol
I did always enjoy the crit mechanic, thats why I never went pro cuz they turn it off in pro play
some minicrits stay but thats it
There's a guy who told me he simply puts high prices on all his stuff, on Steam.
A sucker's born every minute, is his philosophy.
Even if you sell one, you still end up getting a ton of money. 😄
I thought about doing it, but my pristine, divine nature precluded such actions.
Im sensing a severe lack of capitalism
We can consult Martin Shkreli in that case.
Did you read about the mega bundle's price?
It was well into the tens of thousands of dollars, US.
thats after they raised the most amount of money thats ever been spent on a games development too
ye, i know scam citizen's legacy quite intimately
i even have a scam citizen account
theyve been moving towards that for the last decade
It seems they're almost there, now. Internet says so.
the scams wont end at 1.0
We can trust it. 😛
Did you guys read about the relocation-layoff scheme they just executed?
They told the staff that they are relocating offices and if you can't move to that office, in another country, resign.
they executed how many interns?
Cant be as bad as Tesla just revoking peoples security
🤷 Not sure about the numbers.
ah yes, resign. cause firing would result in severance pay
Yep.
what a bunch of asshats
as if they cant afford to pay people properly
I think they're firing people because the 1.0 content is basically done.
AI probably wrote the relocation letter
They just want to milk the cash cows, without feeding the milkers.
They'll hire new staff for 1.1, at low rates.
can you imagine one guy sitting ontop of a whale telling all the towns folk theres not enough meat for everyone
star citizen is a 5 product package. even if the online star citizen is moving to 1.0, thats just 1/5 delivered
the scam will go on
Yeah, there's always 1.1
1.2
1.1.2
1.0.1.2
And all the other number combinations they can go through, courtesy Math.
By the way, how much did you pay Roberts?
looks like Tarkov devs were taking notes
Oh yes. I was surprised by the Tarkov thing.
he scammed 45 dollaridoos out of me
Not that I've played it, but I did spot that news yesterday.
I paid $30 at the very beginning.
yeah, when there was still hope
Well, I did get some fun out of the game.
The FPS part of it.
I remember that the shoot-people-in-space was kind of fun, just outside the station.
its fun thats undeniable. but the progress is so glacial and the fund raising so atrocious
The progress is glacial BECAUSE there's fund raising.
here's a jpeg, buy it for 4000 dollars
Oh look, my mouse broke. Pay me $500 to improve.
I think crowdsourcing picked up a LOT after Star Citizen's success.
People want hope and they're willing to throw cash at it.
gotta help all these struggling indies with their kickstarters
after all they have these small budgets of $676 million
speaking of smol budgets of a few million dollars, @chrome gull oi havent seen you in a while xD
i think his college ate him
RIP
no I'm right here
I ate a college once... do not recommend
all the creativity in me is dead
all of it
I wrote 1 and a half story in the last 3 months
Come back after 10 years. Be rich dev.
okay fair enough
I had all of these separate ideas but I'm ending up merging some of them which is working out decently for me
Be like pro devs.
but that also means I need more new ideas for quests
AI sucks balls for creative stuff
But it can fill the non-creative stuff.
tell the AI to write your story more concise then you can add more
which AI should I use? Bard was amazing but then it became Gemini and also shit
oi windus, bonkers here believes you cant find fellow game devs in india. prove him wrong
I never said that
He isn't wrong, though.
dammit
everywhere I go I find UE devs from India
WHAT
We are pretend devs.
its almost like theres a billion odd people there
I dont have a budget, does that mean Im a bigger dev because mines infinite 😮
but yeah it's almost impossible to find decent devs that aren't making asset flips and/or shit mobile games
Sorry, we claim to have made the zero. So, your budget is still zero.
or even straight up scams lmao
creative liberties with interpretations
fine, granted
None of that matters. What matters is your bank account.
no such thing as zero just a small number approaching infinity 😛
When it is full, you can worry about morals and ethics, and decency.
hate that you're right but...
I want to make nice products even though it takes time
it was out a few days ago and I don't know what it's about
Whatever it is in your head, that's enough.
Manor Lords isnt a clone?
Make some clones and sell them.
join me and we'll make some
It is, but we are trying to make slightlybonkers rich.
History can wait.
Manor Lords mobile clone
what is it a clone of tf
Settlers?
A clone in the sense that is a city building game and has many features of other city building games.
right
It's not a perfect copy, of course.
...so, a genre?
Actually, what's unique about the game is the plot system.
with mechanics from said genre?
Other than that, it's fairly generic, but well done.
burger plots
Words don't matter.
Money first.
ahhhh
Vocabulary last.
fiiine 🙄
I know over 9000 words
Call your game Bonkers Ville and sell it for $5 on Steam.
i can help
The goal will be to build exactly two houses.
please do
sounds like The Sims clone
Then use one house to smash the other.
you'll need to grind for materials and wade through paperwork
No, no.
100 hour behemoth
You can tell your slav... NPCs to grind for you.
And game speed can increase to x200.
Caution: Might fry CPU, no insurance included.
you need to recommend the game to all your friends to recieve extra wood
why are the npcs slavic
tradition.
why not people of color
slavs are cool
racist!
what
You cannot exit the game before 2 hours are finished.
Feature.
Because they lived in the houses.
slavery is bad yo
Flattery will get you nowhere.
the second house gets smashed because of this
Something about weight, physics, and the bathroom sink being thrown at it, yes.
Now, make Bonkers Ville and don't come back until you earn $1,000.
Yes, but to jail.
prison?
So, also nowhere.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
no kickstarter in india
Pyramid builder game
only indiegogo
Call it Pyramid Scheme
Why wouldn't Kickstarter work in India?
which is lame
You have a Paypal account to receive the money.
idk lmao they're stupid
…it’s a scheme that’s vaguely shaped like a pyramid.
Traveling right now so ya’ll are getting throwbacks
I've actually done some research on it and you can hire people to work as a proxy
Ok fine, Patreon it.
they need wise or prime or something which exists in India though
beg
The point is, get money like Christ Roberts from unsuspecting nice people.
i helped someone set up a wise a few months ago
Yes, but beg properly.
I see, I see
I swear money will solve all of my problems
The lounge has been turned into Shark Tank temporarily.
We apologise for the capitalism.
Not really. It WILL give you the ability to point at other people and laugh, especially your enemies.
And if the enemies object, you can hire people to..... censored.
Makes you feel great.
And THAT inspires creativity.
@median fog impart thy wise knowledge on this idiot
But, that's okay. 😄
oh where you suddenly have friends
who? what knowledge?
Yes. But, you have to learn important skills then.
Like Friend Exploit level 1.
Blackmailer level 1.
I don't mind, I'm rich, I'll spend more money
how to give yourself a 56 billion dollar bonus?
you said you need to set up wise, i have delivered
I don't
With shell companies to avoid taxes.
I don't plan to start a Kickstarter
Actually, the stock markets in India are absolutely awesome for the near future.
booooooooooo
So, it's a good time to improve your wealth by 40% in the short-term.
Back to the gags.
Didn't he die?
irrelevant detail
Oh wait, he didn't.
I'm gonna be 25 in half a year 
I don't like it, where is the "go back" button
But yes, irrelevant.
It's called reincarnation.
good thing I'm wasting my 20s 
Been there, done that, got the soggy tshirt to prove it
Heck, once medical tech is integrated with AI and the brain chip, we'll probably have even more TIMELY and better care.
me too 🥲👍
Lifespans will go up by another twenty years, easy.
I hope that happens after I die
trouble is alot of new medical stuff will require stem cells so unless it was harvested at birth youre outta luck
I'm already purposeless in my life
They'll make artificial / donor cells, I am sure.
Gen Alpha gonna get all the hype
These problems are solvable with more money.
why is it so hard to get money
OR, you can just splice that alien bacteria they found on the ISS.
Specific to us, we have to blame our parents a bit.
They should've invested.
But, they lived in an atmosphere of fear and security-risks.
SO, here we are.
yeah but what could've they done?
we'll need to trace this back to several generations but then what's the point
Let's start and walk forward together, in to a bright stock market future, making money one bit at a time for our next robotic generation.
well I heard Jensen Huang talking about how he used to clean toilets
No. No need for several. Just our parents.
The ones who invested are quite rich.
me and my cyborg kids with my AI GF /s
guys lets make a bumble account for BM for the next game jam
I wouldnt be surprised if they do make cyborg women who can be incubators
I looked into it recently, apparently there is huge amounts of money being poured into research about extending human lifespans
Pretty sure Sam or OpenAI has their hands money in it too
Was rereading a recent research about this too, apparently by 2070 Earth is gonna be massively underpopulated at this rate, more people are dying than the number of babies being born and apparently it's getting worse, less and less people are having kids
and then I'll suffer from an inferiority complex because all of my family except me are exceptional at doing things
I'll still continue to be a useless fuck
This is not necessarily a bad thing, though.
Besides, you can count on us Indians to keep populating the Earth. Don't worry.
I plan to be transferred into a sleeve
that's a problem for 70 or so year old me
if I'm alive by then
You'll be hooked up to lots of chips and juiced up, too. Don't worry.
Apparently China is already feeling the consequences of this (this is what I read at least), apparently there is less and less young people that can work, most of the population are elderly
we don't have a one child policy lol
It's not that their young people can't work. They don't WANT to. Their 995 system basically blew up in their faces.
Besides, what do you expect from a country that shoots it's own economy in the foot with idiotic policies?
Every company that was supposed to provide jobs to their graduates, left.
ehhh the population is supposed to drop real hard soon IIRC
It won't here. Be sure of it.
we have 20, are you doing your part?
I am 20
why am i on shit posting mode lmao
tf am I gonna do?
Just have 20 kids.
Make them work in an MMO grinding factory.
You'll be rich by the time they are 10 each.
yes me and my 20 cyborg offsprings will work on games
20 little bots
huh? something something about replacement rate?
Right. But, for India, it won't be problem for another 50 years or so.
oh so I'll still be working alone, great
Our population is going to keep soaring until 2 billion or something.
not what I read but seems to be talking about the same thing (what I read was a study paper or whatever)
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-03-10/global-population-collapse-isn-t-sci-fi-anymore-niall-ferguson
ahhh
Yes, but they don't really figure the third-world into it, because that's not their focus.
Only the important countries figure into such studies.
so "soon" is not soon after all
And that's true for those countries.
But, third world and second-world countries will be soaring.
grind them stats
We'll colonise and enslav.... er, befriend other countries and make more babies.
India is quite important, no?
who let windus play age of empires in real life?
Not yet to those.... people.
Becoming rich = playing Age of Empires in real life. 😄
I mean, half of the world's largest companies employ half of the country's population
¯_(ツ)_/¯
That is correct. But, we are not important as a power, yet.
It's 'soft power'.
And so ignored for the most part.
Age of Umpires, sports management mixed with medieval combat
the whole superpower shit
maybe we'll bring fallout to life, that'll show them 😡
Yes. Pretty much. There're political and military variables that justify such thinking, so I can't fault the big wigs for discounting India so far.
But, that's okay.
India should be the Switzerland of the world.
one of the funner CoDs if I say so
campaign wise, I mean
tho there is a high chance we will wipe ourselves out by the time Earth has the problem of underpopulation lol
IW's campaign is my favorite out of all the ones I've played
Depend on Elon Musk. God Musk will nuke Mars to terraform it.
but isn't Switzerland the Switzerland of the world?
I wonder if he'll ever great clearance to do so.
They are too small to be so.
We are big enough to be a REAL Switzerland.
Occupy The Internet
Somehow the story of Horizon Zero Dawn is almost playing out irl 
welp boston dynamics just need to make a dinosaur
I've heard so much praise about this game but I've played it for 4 hours and it was boring as fuck
Well, it IS a massive world RPG. Those tend to be a bit grindy.
not Fallout
tbf 4 hours isnt even end of tutorial for that game
or Cyberpunk 2077
what if an RPG didnt have grind 😮
or The Outer Worlds
I absolutely loved it, have like 120 hours in it
It has a slow start, but once it starts going the story is amazing
I'm now playing the new one and I'm liking it even more
77 hours in at 47% of the game done 😆
im not joking
there's nothing in the game that justifies such a long tutorial lol
there is
gotcha, maybe I'll give it another try soon
You know you coulda watched Fallout series 7 times in that same amount of time 😛
I need to watch it, I've been hearing good stuff about it
Show's great.
you should drop everything and do it now
Fallout 5 will be better.
tho I have star wars to play after horizon so might take a while to get to watching it lol
wait, which Star Wars?
and by the time I get to Helldivers the servers will be dead so I'll play alone at that point 😅
please tell me not Outlaws
nah, we are still going
I doubt that. Even Darktide has players playing now.
I see you don't have proper game management
you could play acouple of rounds of Helldivers 2 between Horizon tbh
HD 2 will have randos until it shuts down.
Besides, you just end up killing all of them.
So, how does it matter?
I have a strange suspicion Helldivers 2 will get a new faction, theres just so much room on the strategy map
whatever is the new one, I bought it 5 months ago but still didn't get around playing it, played cyberpunk, alan wake 2 twice, pacific drive and now horizon
I am considering uninstalling Battlefield 2042 and Halo Infinite, they were so much fun and have so much more potential but DICE and 343 just stopped trying
make that two factions and youll be 66% correct
343 is straight up spewing garbage out
there's gonna be 5 factions eventually
@broken sigil On a serious note, with reference to these 'studies' that are being done now, there's a serious contention that the sample sizes are much too small to be anywhere near accurate. A scientist had opined in an article that it's difficult to reproduce over 60% of the results stated in these studies, now.
WE NEED WEAPONS 343 NOT A 10000 MORE MAPS
So theres plenty of life left in the game. Heaps of planets to visit
I think they need to revise statistics and study budgets to cover a larger sample size, both in terms of manpower and methodology.
do any of you play Fallout 76?
True tho the fact that population in many countries is going down isn't news
Same thing is happening where I live
where do you live
AI Land
well not population but less people are being born than they used to which logically will lead to decrese in population
Blue Man clearly lives in Blue Man Island with the Blue Man Group
Croatia
Bi in Korean means 'No'. Basically, the women of S.K. decided they'd have no babies with men, no sex with men, no boyfriends, and no marriage.
thats what i said
And from that year onwards, their birth rate crashed.
everyone is Blue Men thats why cant find a GF 😛
It didn't dip, but bloody CRASHED.
ahhh okay
sooo they'll have babies with women?
Blue Man needs to go to Pink Lady Island
how does that work
I think they prefer adoption instead.
Or just no relationship at all.
you need babies to be born for that though
there's a korean gender war going on right now. its absolutely ridiculous, read about it
and that'll require procreation with men
oh wow alright
Well, the government is trying to pay recluses to go and mingle in society.
That didn't work.
we need more babies, how else will we have a class of servants to tend to our every need when we are elderly
what?? 😭
Basically, the women don't want to be anywhere near men, because the men there are apparently creepos.
japan tried that as well, they failed
Yes. In Japan, the problem is pessimism.
The current generation apparently sees nothing nice in their future.
cant blame them
The monetary welfare systems are GREAT, actually.
If it was in India, we'd all have 100 kids just to take advantage of that.
But, yeah, they think life sucks.
thats why we dont
they are not wrong
They are wrong. Life's great. You just have to give yourself time to grow into it.
We are all growing up differently now, much slower than before. We live longer, we grow up slower.
People need to be gentle with themselves more.
yes, ill just grow into life right next to the 10 mushroom clouds growing into the stratosphere
There aren't any, though. Mushroom clouds I mean.
will be
Actually, I read that article about Chernobyl the other day.
Turns out the worms there are radiation immune now.
Same for the flowers and plants, too, but the scientists didn't cover that in detail.
So, you just might grow into life right next to 1,000 mushroom clouds. 😄
I meant more that the guy buying it made a typo. 🙂
Doesn't matter. I have FIVE... FIVE WHOLE DOLLARS! 😄
goddamnit the newsletter is back
I told you to pay $3,000 and 3 peanuts.
(ahem)
How many mansions are you gonna buy?!
Five. Clearly.
because it does
but it doesn't.
rich people opinions dont count
One might argue it's the only ones that count.
and the country will destroy itself
even more people and even less money for the government
People have been saying India will destroy itself for ages, for some reason or the other.
Seems to be okay so far.
truly wonderful
anyway, enough shit posting for me lol
because there's no incentive for us to have kids rn lmao
dont let windus burn down lounge

listen to this. feel wistful. now go make a bumble account
@broken sigil idk why but this time around I kinda feel bad shooting all the poor little animals that managed to survive Zero Dawn
Like that fox is cute why do I need to turn it into a pouch upgrade 🥲
Because it is just and right.
Honour the food pyramid.
Honour the apex predator.
It’s not about food
It’s about pouches
Yes, and you need the pouches for?
To hold more shit
Yes. The pouches hold herbs and potions and whatnot.
and arrows, too. Yes, you need those arrows to kill other stuff.
It's all fine.
🔥
I’ve played RDR2 and hunted everything and also Zero Dawn, but in Forbidden West I’m questioning it
For one, cause she “got into some trouble and lost all of her gear”, like you know, all the pouch upgrades
Seems wasteful
World gets a second chance and we’re hunting them poor critters for… pouches
Actually, WE get a second chance.
The bunnies were fine.
Sometimes, I get why HADES did what it did
Who needs arrows when you can have a boomerang
and tripwires.
snares are illegal yo 😛
electrically charged tripwires that shock robot animals are not, apparently.
Hmm Epic Launcher still says Unreal Slackers with the old logo on the News tab
@broken sigil https://www.greaterkashmir.com/front-page-2/day-3-land-sinking-continues-in-parnote/ We won't have to worry about population, if this continues.
There won't be any land for them to live on! 😄
This land subsidence thing is going to be a serious pain.
@fleet tangle I finished 2,799 pages of The King's Avatar and it is amazing how much of the story was left out of the show.
There're so many good scenes and even the characters' attitudes are slightly different from the show.
@broken sigil have you seen these videos of the photorealistic cp2077 mod ?
unrecord?
Wut?
The name of the mod. Is it Unrecord?
Showcasing the all new ultra photorealistic "Unrecord" mod for Cyberpunk 2077 New Update 2.12. Inspired heavily by the upcoming Unreal Engine 5 games: Unrecord and BODYCAM. 8K 60fps Ultra Graphics made possible with DLSS 3.5, ReShade and Face Tracking features / AITrack. Game is running on RTX 4090
This showcase focuses on Cyberpunk Photorealis...
Idk, the ones I was watching were from nextgen dreams and digital dreams

Yeah the only animals I have killed have been by accident lol
For upgrades I ended up buying animal stuff I need from traders 😅

Watched a video of it yesterday
Apparently it's a reshade, LUT
But it looks super nice
Goes to show the versatility of (transformer) language models
They used an LLM custom trained on their database
wheres the one that can write assembly from english 😛
There was also the AI that made the Covid vaccine 75% stronger and more resilient.
AI could replace research by brute force
in the bad side can take more time than humans at some tasks but at some point will do I bet

@empty dune Interesting read. Some companies' names and some money math to learn about.
Fallout racer.
Ah didn’t realize I had that option, good to know
I wonder if I should post all the screenshots of wild life that I killed in Medieval Dynasty.
I did spam those in another server in all their gore.

omgg guys
this is on a rider i just installed! im beginning to like rider even more ❤️
im so happy hahaha beceause i suck at coding
kinda weird they have to assume im using unreal engine though.. like... duh? im using unreal...
WTF 😭
there's another cheaper IDE for unreal
idk if i should refund rider now
You can use free code generators outside these IDEs
Also their company loves to split their products. Rider is for UE, CLions is for C/C++ and then there are a dozen more products for each other lang.
oh so Clions isnt specifically use for unreal? oh in that case i guess im sticking to rider then hahaha
ty for saying this btw
They also have a plugin for Visual Studio. A bit cheaper, a bit more compromise.
Hey, I know that one... lol
feels().good().man().praise().the().rustafarian().gods()
Ryobg, what's the advantage of switching to an IDE like Rider? Does that help someone who is new to programming, or does it just improve the workflow speed of someone who's experienced?
It's not that bad cmon now
You will be accepted in the Rider's Church and chant together with the others how good it is.
...
It benefits might be for these who code a lot. But let me tell ya, if you code a lot, you have no time to think about how good is your code.
The current equal solutions for an IDEs are Visual Studio and Rider & Co.
Visual Code is half IDE. You can compare it with tools in other categories.
I'm a coding n00b, but what the F@#! is that?
why you keep this then on the game
