proud jay
#

errant raven
#

My mom came over

#

She took all my catfish bait 😄

zinc matrix
#

damn windows store. Gears 4 opens and closes itself right away

proud jay
#

you bait catfish on tinder?

river sable
#

I was gonna make that joke

#

luckily you made it first

errant raven
#

The coalition destroyed the gears ip

#

Gears 5 was the worst thing I ever played

#

Didnt even bother with 4

proud jay
#

you have definitely put your penis in a catfish haven't you

vernal jay
#

Are we doing fish now?

river sable
proud jay
#

don't judge yourself too hard

errant raven
#

Does a fat chick wearing a very tight corset count as a catfish?

proud jay
#

I don't think so

river sable
#

monkaHmm alright fellas I'm out enjoy your day

errant raven
#

Cant say I have then

river sable
#

in the spirit of laura, a lounge cleanser

celest musk
#

btw those are the sprouts

#

one plant didn't survive and there are some, too

errant raven
#

Those are tomatoes alright

celest musk
#

the other is pretty close tho

#

yea

median wraith
#

is there a way to import models from Unity into UE without mess the LODs ?

errant raven
#

Wait for them to get 3 sets of true leaves and move them somewhere else

#

If you move them now the shock will kill them

celest musk
#

so they aren't connected to the root system of the other plant?

errant raven
#

Negative

celest musk
#

i wasn't sure if this is from some other seeds or from the actual plant

errant raven
#

They just have one long main root digging down

#

When they get their first true leaves the main root will branch off a bit

celest musk
#

alr, thx

#

i wonder if they will even survive in the big pot

#

usually i thought you grow them in smol ones until they are full of roots

errant raven
#

They will, they do great in pots

#

It's much safer to up pot as they get bigger

proud jay
errant raven
#

Water sitting in dirt too long causes mold, and if roots sit in water constantly they rot and kill the plant

celest musk
#

yea i'm still learning

#

killed a few other plants already 😦

#

but somehow one palm survives here, even when i don't water it for weeks

#

idk how it manages that 😄

#

i should get more of those

errant raven
#

They store water in their trunks dont they

#

Palm trees?

celest musk
#

yea

proud jay
#

water is stored in the balls

celest musk
#

possible, their trunk is pretty thick

Ewww belgian beer has micro plastics in it

proud jay
#

median wraith
#

micro ?

carmine frigate
#

how about plastic bags?

median wraith
#

there is a beer that come with 2 giant balls inside the can

#

guinness

errant raven
#

Guiness taste like ass

proud jay
#

more like sewage water tbh

celest musk
#

how do you know how ass tastes?

lofty lark
#

Is there a name for this effect? Making things disappear/transparent when they would be blocking something (such as the character), such as the walls and ceiling of this barn?

errant raven
lofty lark
proud jay
celest musk
#

but it's the most common used technique for it

#

since it's kinda cheap as you can do it with a masked material

proud jay
#

idk if it's that cheap

#

cause then all your materials would need to be transparent supporting right?

celest musk
#

cheaper than translucent for sure

proud jay
#

sure

celest musk
#

masked != translucent

#

and yes, whatever you want to dither needs be masked

unborn lotus
proud jay
#

cause then this can't be true

errant raven
#

Hes never drunk a beer

unborn lotus
errant raven
#

Just carbonated water with a little bit if bad hops/barley in it

#

Was the other two beers Heineken and Bud Light by chance?

unborn lotus
#

But also alcohol free beer is great, you can really taste the barley or whatever it is they do it with

proud jay
#

I don't like it

#

I don't like normal pils beer either though really

#

I prefer strong beers

errant raven
#

Pale ales is where it's at

proud jay
#

there are some good IPA's

celest musk
#

alc free wheat beer is neat tho

proud jay
#

but don't drink them regularely

unborn lotus
#

Strong beers taste too much of alcohol

proud jay
#

I feel like you only drink shit beer

#

can't really say I've ever had a beer that I felt tasted like alcohol all that much

#

what kind of beer do they have in romania

errant raven
#

Googles new ai overview literally just web scrapes an article and changes a word or two

proud jay
#

did they make that the default

#

rip environment

errant raven
#

Yes. And I have no idea how to turn the ai thing off

celest musk
proud jay
#

you can search "web"

#

like you can do images

celest musk
#

at this point we don't even know

proud jay
#

don't ask me why the first article when googling test is about covid19

celest musk
#

guess it depends on your search term

proud jay
#

I took the pic to show that you can select "Web"

errant raven
#

I found it

unborn lotus
proud jay
#

have you had Triple Lefort

errant raven
#

Try craft beers

proud jay
#

or Westmalle Triple

#

or Duvel is a more common good one

#

Grimbergen is pretty good too

#

Tripel Karmeliet is dope too

unborn lotus
proud jay
#

Omer is good if you like more fruite stuff

unborn lotus
#

I did try some craft beers but some are too intense

errant raven
#

Sierra nevada pale ale, finest pale ale the u.s has to offer

#

Try that

#

Actually tastes like beer for once

proud jay
#

Gulden Draak is also goated

unborn lotus
#

Duvel yes I can buy that

#

But I usually have a headache after drinking 🥹

proud jay
#

just drink one

errant raven
#

Drink more

proud jay
#

and drink some water after

errant raven
#

Cant feel the headache if youre piss drunk slumped

unborn lotus
#

So even a bigger headache

errant raven
#

Just drink another when you wake up

unborn lotus
#

Im gonna try some of those beers and go back to guiness 😁

#

Czechs must have amazing beer if 90% of their population are alcoholics

proud jay
#

no, their alcohol is just really cheap

#

I got a shot that's like 60% alcohol or some shit and it cost me 80 cents

errant raven
#

Ah that makes sense. I forgot things could be affordable

proud jay
#

your IPA is only 5,6% alcohol

#

no wonder you need to keep drinking it

#

most beers I named are 8% or higher

errant raven
#

It's a pale ale not a ipa

neat sluice
#

Just found out Unreal has Real time compositing
I've been playing with the engine for almost 3 years now and I don't think I know even half of all the features 😅

it's not a book is it

broken sigil
#

it's a game lol

river sable
#

^^

#

you can read words in the game though

#

and records are being kept in it

#

so kind of like a book in a way

i had an award in quake live that 0.000001% of the played had or something

have to shave off 400ms and I have a world record on the track

celest musk
carmine frigate
#

10 kills in 3 sec or something

celest musk
#

getting 10 times killed in 3secs?

carmine frigate
#

nah thats impossible

deep copper
celest musk
#

not for 0.0000001%

carmine frigate

respawn takes like 5 sec 😛

broken sigil

oh I'm ahead of the croatian pro tracmania player berk

river sable
broken sigil
#

looked at the leaderboards lol

carmine frigate
#

had some crazy records in tribes ascend aswell

deep copper
#

hmmm

#

that does mean 400ms is a lot

#

but wasn't human reaction time like 200ms

#

also why isn't anyone training ai to drive track mania

celest musk
#

it's not about reaction to make those records

deep copper
#

i bet it would be faster

celest musk
#

its about prediction at some point

river sable
#

there are TAS runs for trackmania

deep copper
broken sigil
celest musk
#

that's why the tracks are kinda short (at least they used to be in canyon, haven't played tm2020 much)

deep copper
#

that sounds like so much effort

#

oh cool

#

so it isn't like nfs where you get 10 laps

river sable
#

TM is about getting in the zone and playing the track 500 times

carmine frigate
#

trackmania was never my game, i sorta liked the dirt tracks but those were not popular

celest musk
#

i'm close to 2s

deep copper
#

i am close

celest musk
#

so a bit faster than Interitus

Tho this is on old trackmania from 2008
And his newest model is pretty much unbeatable

I trained an AI that plays Trackmania with reinforcement learning. It's getting good enough to challenge Official World Records. This is the story of how my AI reached such an incredible level.

oh the reaction

because it's the fibonacci sequence

hmmm

i forgot the sequence...

carmine frigate

i think it has to do more with smoothing out input than reaction tho

river sable

exactly

carmine frigate

u notice it a lot less on 144, but getting 300 fps on a 60hz monitor vs 150 on a 60hz monitor is like night and day

have you guys ever snapped of a blade of a snap off cutter?

I feel like I always lose them before I have to replace it lol

also rip cable managment behind those small monitors

proud jay
#

how much adhd do you have that you constantly need movies playing

#

having a dedicated monitor for walkthroughs and cheats is wild though

white oxide
#

its a battery equipped tv

#

its always plugged in in the event we lose power due to storms or overheat we can still get news

#

also i have severe ADHD, autism, and schizo

celest musk
#

Thor telling a psychologist that he makes the world a better place by investing his money in a ferret rescue center is my highlight of the week....

proud jay
#

why do you so desperately need the news though

celest musk
#

the talk was kinda interesting

#

but at this point i had enough

white oxide
#

mainly because storms here regularly develop into tornados half of the year and its good to know if we have to shelter in place

#

if we lose power its usually reaching those conditions

proud jay
white oxide
#

it was $120

celest musk
#

yea

white oxide
#

battery lasts like 8 hour too

proud jay
#

I like dr k

#

but I only watch if the guest is someone I already like

#

I loved when he talked with Reckful

#

unfortunately Reckful has taken his own life since then

white oxide
#

but yeah most of the time the tiny display just has nothing on it or my song selections for the big 42 inch TV

proud jay
#

music is sound though right

#

why does sound need a 42 inch tv 🤔

white oxide
#

it also plays whatever show im re-binging so i can listen and glance while developing

proud jay
#

yeah I never got people that did that

#

it's already hard to focus if I have music with lyrics playing for me

white oxide
#

yeah well im loving 4 monitors

summer cedar

I like listening to background music too, while I do other things.

Or listening to the news while playing games. 🙂

#

and yes thats a hot pad on the desk

#

for my noodles

carmine frigate
#

my cat enters other ppls houses and steals food from their kitchens

#

i dont know how to stop it

white oxide
#

feed them more?

#

i also cut the lids off soda cans and re-use them for cups

carmine frigate
#

nah it gets plenty of food here

#

last week it came back to my house with a chicken drumstick

#

he stole it somewhere

#

its a huge cat btw

white oxide
#

i have 2 cats

#

Mongo the russian blue-ragdoll mix, and Starr, my wifes trash gremlin

#

she found him while we were engaged and he looks like a kitten next to mongo

unreal ether
carmine frigate
#

dinno what kind my cat is, got it when my old neighbor passed away

white oxide
#

actually its not bad if you use a can opener

#

the lip is intact

carmine frigate
#

sounds too sharp for me

#

i have too many glasses anyways... i used to use mustard pots tho

#

they were great for it

white oxide
carmine frigate
#

ahh doesnt look too bad

white oxide
#

the only cut part would only touch your lip if you try and get cut

#

but yeah Mongo had to be taugh he isnt a kitten anymore, he cant just sleep on my desk (for now)

proud jay
#

what's wrong with just using a glass though?

white oxide
#

i have to clean the glass

#

this i can throw away in the recycle bin when im done

proud jay
#

so you do this when first drinking the can?

#

or you reuse it?

#

cleaning a glass is not that much effort though

#

seems like it would be less effort than cutting the top of a can

#

idk though

white oxide
#

i drink the can, cut the lid, refil it with whatever else i drink (pitcher at the desk) then when pitcher is done i throw the can away

#

that way i only have to clean pitcher

proud jay
#

but cutting the lid must take at least 10 seconds right

#

you could clean a glass in that time

#

I mean if you like drinking out of a can you do you

#

but having to not clean a glass is a strange reason for it imo

white oxide
#

less to clean and im already going to chuck the can, might as well re-use

#

takes like 4 to cut

Except for the system update.

#

That happens once every couple of months.

summer cedar
hollow dawn
#

gonna keep an eye out for those

summer cedar
#

Don't buy the latest; they are usually expensive.
The slightly older models are way cheaper and the dual-SIM is actually dual-functional-SIM, unlike other cheap phones that give you one-active-one-dormant dual-SIMs.

hollow dawn
#

oh

#

i thought its those old people or nerd phones... those look sleek actually

summer cedar

Yep. Use gsmarena.com to compare models, so you can buy one with all the features you want.

I bought the Nord CE 3 5G myself. It was affordable and functions like a god.

i use samsung so its industry standard... dont wanna make apps that only work on some hipster phone 😛

Since when is an exinos chipset industry standard what

I thought majority market was qualcom

hollow dawn
#

honestly no idea what chip is in mine out of my head XD

summer cedar
#

There's both now.

#

Qualcom is still the majority.

#

Exinos has a decent grasp, too. It's primarily used in the mega-cheap phones.

empty dune
#

Yeah but it's not industry standard

summer cedar
#

There are exceptions. Some good phones use it, too.

#

Exynos has 9% market share in India, on 19th Jan, 2024.

#

That's not insignificant.

empty dune
#

Never said it was

summer cedar
#

Interestingly, Unisoc is getting up there, too.

hollow dawn
#

ye, its like having 90% market share in europe lol, india is a huge market

empty dune
#

Ah you're right, in Europe it is the majority

hollow dawn
#

nah i mean in relation, if you got 9% in india, of 1.2billion customers... its like having all of europes people buy your phone

But, Vande Bharat is something I'd like to try.

Polishing turd isn't gonna fix the fact that our railway is severely underfunded for a country of our size lol

#

Oh also, in HOI4, holy fuck the ship designs are so detailed its like im playing world of warships

summer cedar

That's why you buy railway stocks and enjoy the profits of a system being slowly fixed.

#

But, I was only referring to enjoying a Vande Bharat ride.

#

My personal pleasure trumps everything else.

No.

i mean trains here usually dont kill you, but duhh, 1,5h trip usually takes 4h+ due to underfunding and mismanagement aswell

summer cedar
#

If you want a real train sob-story, check Zimbabwe's trains.

#

They were also built by the British around the same time they did India, I think. It's completely broken down now.

from what i read germany even lost ww2 in large parts cus the train system was utterly mismanaged and corrupt and nothing got delivered anywhere

summer cedar

Those guys didn't even care to maintain it.

but zimbabwe is like that in general since independance

So.... they signed a deal with China to renovate the entire railways.

The previous deals haven't gone down too well for them, but meh....

A favorite thing to say for my friends in both UK and Germany is: the other side should have bombed each other better

do you guys mow your lawn at regular intervals or just when you think it looks too long

summer cedar
#

If I had a lawn, I'd mow it at regular intervals, but spaced far apart that I can be just lazy in-between.

#

Alternatively, buy a sheep, goat, or cow and let them do the work.

#

OR even more alter-alternatively, tell the local shepherd to graze on your lawn.

proud jay
#

I usually wait till it looks long

#

but then it's more effort cause the lawn mower fills up quicker

#

so maybe I should just do it sooner

summer cedar
#

Speaking of, Japan has a rent-a-goat business for mowing your lawn.

proud jay
#

do they ship to belgium

#

my wife is allergic to pretty much all animals though

summer cedar

Probably easier to contract Belgian goats, to be honest. The Japanese leaser'll probably outsource it.

how expensive is it

Rupees 1,262,562 for the basic luxury package.

#

15,166.92 United States Dollars

proud jay
#

why would you do that loll

summer cedar
#

It's a luxury experience.

#

Like a cruise.

#

Takes about 4-6 days or so. They take care of everything. You pay and enjoy! 😄

proud jay
#

where does it go

#

that's like 2k per day though lol

#

expensive trip

summer cedar
#

They've got four odd routes in North India.

#

This price includes small tours off the train, too.

proud jay
#

that really doesn't add up to 2k value though

summer cedar
#

Depends. It's quite popular. I think the whole train service is 5-star rated. The restaurant certainly is.

#

People have money and they want to travel in style. 😄

proud jay
#

I'm not saying it's a bad trip

#

just that it is insanely expensive for what it is

summer cedar
#

Yeah, I feel you. But, it's the way of the world.

#

There're a few other trains like this one, too.

#

Some cheaper.

#

This is The Deccan Odyssey.

proud jay

even if I was a billionaire I wouldn't do it lol

Popular with the tourists, as you can see. 🙂

Btw, the restaurant timings aren't set.

well 15k usd is less to an american than to average indian I would guess

sadly i have to present it as well. I'd rather not take shortcuts and miss out on something vital.

Hey, when I play the lvl in unreal engine I cant see the entire screen, the bottom right hud is outside the screen, how do I run the game fullscreen or show the entire viewport?

#

I dont want it in full screen, I want it to shrink into the window thats allready there, I had it like that before.
Oh, maybe its anchored wrong or something, ill check

#

Can I anchor multiple things in one viewport tho? couse I put the whole HUD on one

#

nvm, i figured out the last one, i just missunderstood how it worked

I even got a well-made pop-up on my screen, telling me that Win 10 support will end next year.
Of course, I totally ignored it since I was reading my PDF and never received a notification about it.

MS was nice enough to tell me that my CPU wasn't compatible and that I should click KNOW MORE to fix the problem.

When I did, I got a nice paragraph about buying a new PC.

You're both wrong.

Fifa was released first in 2000 B.C.

But, Microsoft erased all the DOS versions until 1 A.D.

All we have now are the Fifa games blessed by Christ.

Of course, after 2020, they were blessed by God Todd.

that reminds me, apparently BC is out dated now, we are supposed to use BCE (before common event) 😂

B.C. and A.D. for me.

Unless someone is paying me to use C.E.

Then of course. 😄

which begs the question, what is that common event? 😂

summer cedar
#

when some dude decided to make a calendar.

#

He just also happened to cure tons of people and then get crucified.

#

But, we'll gloss over that.

#

He made a calendar when he was born, magically.

#

Uh... no, commonly.

#

Yeah, that's right. So C.E.

dim crypt
#

isn't it common era

summer cedar

correct.

#

So when wasn't it a common era, would be the question.

#

The answer - before that dude made a calendar.

i prefer BBY

Before Battle of Yavin

summer cedar

Heresy.

#

B.A. is correct.

#

Before Ascension of our Emperor of Man.

a modern version would be cool

#

I'd point you to Harvest Moon, if you like a more anime style of farming.

Rune Factory series, if you like anime style farming AND dungeon exploration, AND in-game socialising.

fleet tangle
#

"anime style of farming"?

summer cedar
#

Yes.

fleet tangle
#

Grow vegetables using magic powers and gain a harem?

summer cedar
#

More like magic farming tools, but yes.

#

You CAN get a harem, but it's better to get a permanent wife and then have a son/daughter.

#

When you die, they become the new player.

celest musk
#

wait which game now?

summer cedar
#

That system was implemented in the later instalments of the series.

summer cedar
#

Rune Factory is my favourite.

#

But, some people like Harvest Moon better.

#

HM is the original. RF: HM was the RPG spin-off of it.

#

The latest HMs are 3D.

#

But, their immediate prequels are beautiful 2D games.

#

You can check the images on google, separate for HM and RF:HM and pick the game you want to play. The order is not important. The stories are all standalone.

celest musk
#

that looks like farming in minecraft

summer cedar
#

There are PC ports on Steam, btw, if you don't want to use an emulator.

#

From the NDS version.

fleet tangle
#

I can't get behind a game like this.

summer cedar
#

this is probably 2 or 3 of the RF series.

#

Ah, that's the 3D one.

#

I personally skip the 3D ones.

celest musk
#

yea i want big ass land plots

summer cedar
#

I like the 2D style much better, although that's also 3D.

celest musk
#

and machinery

#

otherwise minecraft would cut it

summer cedar
#

You don't get machinery, but your tools cover a much larger area with upgrades.

celest musk
#

i can have a harem of villagers there, too

#

they aren't cute tho

summer cedar
#

There're some magic tools that substitute for sprinklers.

#

The entire field is pretty big, but yes, you plant each seed in a 1x1 square.

#

You also have field plots in the dungeons, and in other parts of the world map.

#

Ultimately, it becomes a stamina/energy management game. 😄 You can use magic stuff to automate things later.

#

This one is from Rune Factory 3.

#

2 and 3 are arguably the cutest and nicest to play, in terms of art and gameplay.

#

After that, they began experimenting more and more with 3D.

#

Oh, if you want a really good 3D-style donghua farming game, try Immortal Life on Steam.

#

The early parts of the game are more tutorial-ish, but the emphasis shifts more and more to farming after you get through the early-game.

#

It's like Harvest Moon, BUT the 3D graphics are much better. It's a Chinese game, with good English translations.

#

Here's a screenie. This one is basically wuxia/xanxia.

#

You use LOTS of magic and evolve (yourself) using it. For example, once you plant seeds and have the appropriate skills, you can use a scroll and your magic powers to instantly ripen an entire plot full of vegetables.
