feels like what Epic does on the new cars game
have a huge delay between verifications in order to have full smooth move
the competitive mode was fun
Yeah, racing games are definitely very difficult
Rocket league is full server authority and 90% if the time it's close to perfect, handles collisions well
It's done by locally predicting yourself and simulated proxies around you from the last known input, this allows you to locally predict collisions before they happen
It's how usually networked physics are handled in general
actually talked about it recently here #lounge message
worth to mention runs on a deterministic physics engine that would run like ass for another game
Shipping new code without writing test
Epic ^
im having this issue on a 13900hx.
i have no idea how to identify which assets are causing it. anyone know a way?
is there a reason for games to rely on checkpoints rather than instant save at any time?
they are often easier to implement
Tell me more.
It looks pretty! 🙂
Also, good morning 🌞
@empty dune The Helldiver clones have begun.
Check out Knights Within. Splattercat's played it today.
HAIL TITUS!
Glory to the Ultramarines!
More Ultra.... MOAR MARINE!!!
✊
I wonder if the game will follow the usual 'brainwashed marine after inquisitorial interrogation' plot to explain what happened to him.
I hope they make it more intricate. Oh well. From the gameplay videos, the zerg rush of enemies is similar to the first one.
Those bug bodies are a lie.
No bug will survive in a gym long enough with all the bug sprays.
around 200ms left to go lol
don't know where I will pull 200ms out of but getting closer 
That ghost is the world record https://youtu.be/yL21sy-DFQY
you become more inhuman each day
Is this in a racing game?
yeah trackmania

By the way, Blue Man, have you played the latest F1 2023 on EA Play?
I tried it a bit. The driving experience is SO good. You can almost feel the speed and the wind in your face.
That was with a keyboard. I wonder how cool it'd be with a steering wheel setup.
been a while since I played an F1 game
The last one might have been in 2020 or something like that
actually liked those games
I played 2020, too, I think. But, it's come a LONG WAY since then.
I was amazed by how smooth the driving was. Everything just clicked.
I wanted to do a career mode run, but I don't know much about configuring the cars and stuff.
yeah I always liked the F1 games
I don’t think I’ve played one since the first one
I get bored having to do 50 or so laps each time
Yes; I think they reduced the max laps to 24 in F1 2023, for that very reason.
Imo they make enough money, they don’t need more from video games 😀
Fallout has been described as a spiritual successor to Wasteland, but how true is that? Just how similar are the two games? Let me do the dirty work and you can decide for yourself while we look at the evidence.

Everyone ALWAYS needs more money.
They pretend they don't.
More..... MORE.... MOAARRRRRR!!!!
Conservatives are freaking out over the revelation that the FBI was authorized to use deadly force when they raided Mar-a-Lago looking for classified documents, President Biden's campaign is hiring a meme page manager to help him reach young people, and a new documentary about queer behavior in the animal world is stoking controversy.
#Colbert ...
I sure hope no one walks up to my terrace
Why does one of the packages have Ayurveda written on it?
Idk I didn’t make them
soldering iron + kit, ethernet cabel + rj45 heads, arduino kit, and then one package that I think is from my wife
oh and some mechanical pencils too
What are you going to make with them?
well for one ethernet cables
with the soldering stuff, gonna start with the included kits which is just some LED stuff, after that idk
with the arduino things not 100% sure yet, gonna try some extra home automation and crap
auto bread makers
giant robot, voiced with chatgpt, controlled by discord
the holy bread can be automated no further without losing it's divine powers
gonna have scarlet johansson read #lounge to me
Im not even sure what voice they are talking about thats meant to sound like hers
Sky
Cloud
I don't think it's available to the public yet though
and they removed that voice awaiting the lawsuit
Ive not heard a single voice in all the YT OpenAI clips I watched which sounds remotely like Scar Jo
unless having a US accent and being friendly is all it takes
It wouldn't matter either way. Turns out OpenAI has a signed contract with whichever actress voiced Sky.
It was all hot air and cold fish.
🐟
Scar Jo just looking for that pay day
gonna have to go back to strange indie movies now her Disney days are over
I think she has enough money to live lavishly for the rest of her life tbh
also she's hot
so easy life
maybe her lawyers not been paid in awhile
they won pretty big against Disney, can never have enough money
she already played ai gf in the movie Her though
yeah which means she has the rights to every AI gf in existence 😮
she comin for your girls lads
Id laugh so hard if Disney hires the Sky voice actress to do Black Widow in animated films
When you ask her the question, "Is it sunny outside?" does she reply, "Check it out yourself!"?
no
Maybe she is AI then. 🤔
If only someone here said they sounded nothing alike from the start 
That doesn't matter though. I personally still think they sound similar, minus Scarlett's susurration. What does matter is the contract.
I wish OpenAI didn't take Sky down though.
They should have kept it/her online and punched back hard.
Tbf openai instantly released a report of how they made the voices and yet people again went full conspiracy theory mode 😅
Yes, but coming from OpenAI, it'd be suspect. What they should've done is immediately talk about the contract they had with the other voice actor.
That was all that really mattered for the lawyers.
sigh kid student time.
I knew the report was true from the beginning because all of what they said could have been easily disproven if it wasn't the case
And if they lied they would have been in neck deep trouble, openais legal department ain't that stupid 
You are a teacher/professor ?
Feel like you mentioned it before but can't remember
Pretend English teacher
Oh nice
I shiver every time there's a kid.
Those can be horrible.
But, since the service raised its prices, I have been getting nicer kids lately.
Some are still a pain though; kids standard mk 1.
grubs
Kid disconnected. Please stay offline 🙏
Welp I'm off to bed
YOU!
Is ue5 set to crash on a timer or something? I swear, I'm doing the most mundane tasks and the thing decides to nope out on me.
Good thing I'm a superstitious saver.
could it be you're running out of memory?
my friend tom has a mini PC that kept crashing a lot until we found out he just had so much going on with the graphics that the APU was noping out
Would it just eat up 32gb just like that?
Well, to be fair. I'm hovering at 62%. You might be onto something.
I'll keep an eye on it. For funsies.
You can also check the Windows Event Viewer.
See why the unreal file crashed. There'll be a log.
eventvwr wasn't helpful. Nothing that seems relevant in any case. Unreal itself reported an AccessViolation. Originating from the sequencer, which I haven't used in a month. But I guess that could be consistent with out of memory.
I doubt it's my gpu memory. lol
When you say mundane tasks, what were you doing? Growing weed with niagara, or blowing up nukes with cool shaders?
lol
I hit compile on my (already successfully compiled) player character blueprint.
Just a habitual thing.
🤔 That shouldn't stress it out.
Maybe it was Mission Impossible's attempt to keep you from creating Pumpkin AI to take over the world.
Shhhh! Don't tell them!
🕵️
Maybe I fired too many bullets.
I'll speculate that perhaps the audio had something to do with it.
That last bit of audio is something I also hear at times when the audio driver screws up.
I know that's not the case in the video, but I wonder 🤔
In this particular case. For this particular weapon. There's only 4 audio components playing. I just adjust pitch. It's not 1 sound per bullet. But that would have been a candidate. 😛
In all honesty though. ue5(5.1) has been fairly stable for me. I can live with the occasional crash.
Get revenge. Make a game that crashes every five minutes.
Call it 'Tales of Crashalot!'
I like big crashes and I cannot lie
I enjoy gifs. But I also feel like an insufferable child whenever I post them. Such is the duality of man I guess.
What's wrong with all of you?
Only one gender choice?
Everyone knows there are 4,562 genders.
DIVERSIFY!!!!!
If nothing else, it makes the world more interesting. ^^
Indeed! More options in the Settings menu.
rip the Doge dog died
that's not real is it
I think there would be a lot more pieces flying if it were real. Looks like a racing game of some sort. I just searched for big crash in the discord gifs.
i see i see, it's getting so hard to tell reality apart from fake games
Only gonna get worse! 😃
Or better. Depending on your outlook.
😭
killing enemies in games will eventually start looking so real, serial killers will vanish from real world and switch to that
you say that like it's a bad thing
Remember when they used to put women on graphic card packages? The days
we will become used to watching cars crash in games and eventually stop panicking when we see it in reality
it doesn't sound bad
real women or realistic women?
All kinds, even dragon women
My main worry in the near future is AI scams. Fake images. Fake voices. Fake video. And you can't tell it's not real. 2-factor authentication will be the only way to verify.
hmmm nice
it will be kinda like magic spells, you can fake reality too well
Rip Doge
OMG that's so adorable
it kinfa looks like a panda

i think i had that demo disk, but my pc wouldnt run it
yup:P
Same though. 😛
things would also be harder to install or figure out why it didnt work
Whatever do you mean? Looks at gta on 20'ish floppy disks
often had to cancel windows boot and run drivers by hand

I think the non adjustability of the monitor would drive me crazy
adjustable ultrawide screen to non adjusttable for curve or flat that was bizarre option
You know, this is probably a very practical way to live for most neets in the future. 😄
Mobile mummy's basement.
windus you know more way to go on flying shuttle
Honestly, living on a flying shuttle is probably a better way to avoid taxes and pesky police.
Especially where RV/trailer laws are not clearly defined/are ambiguous.
At least in the air, the police would have to put some effort to question you and will mostly pass on it.
This reminds me of the Space Truckers movie on Netflix.
It was quite cool actually.
This is the beginning of Cyberpunk, no?
woa that's such a cool world
but so many pop references in it
it's okay, we will go there together
i will have the perfect immunity to pop references with you
buzz
why is his neck glowing was he slashed or is this some censoring
are you making fizzbuzz
do someone knows a images to pdf converter that isn't online
?
that looks ancient
... ms word maybe. though idk how to set that up for it
On any browser you use you can open an image then go to print inside print you can save any image as a pdf.
You can do this all without internet even locally
Just open the image in browser
Some next gen motherboards and cpu's leaked, apparently it's all about being "AI enAblEd" nowadays
guess hardware has peaked
Im more worried about this though https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/20/microplastics-human-testicles-study-sperm-counts
Because plastics in everything
Oh…goodie
I believe 80% is from car tires...and it got everywhere, in groundwater or air and we have breathed it for years
Another problem electric cars wont fix
Tires are rubber, not same as plastic
photoshop
yeah but wanted it with a batch of files
mayB u can do it in unreal? 🙂
These numbers are meaningless lol
numbers allways are until they aint
Did you get that from a fortune cookie? 😀
lead makes u crazy, thats a fact
Pretty sure its not 100% rubber
nah, i should write those tho, im hella smart
Sure, but that graph has all sorts of flaws and it doesn’t prove anything
We also had 3 billion people in 1960, now 8 billion
Hopefully you can do that math since you’re smart
Lead us rejoice!
its per 1000, but its tested in multiple countries and not all areas increased in population
Not saying lead isn’t bad for you, but those stats seem thrown together haphazardly
nah it isnt
Lead us to believe it
that graph might, but the research is valid
Its called the "Lead–crime hypothesis"
Emphasis on hypothesis eh?
Its not just some graph
yea, cant prove 100% for sure..
Lead it be known
but really you cant ever prove this for sure... but the data says odds are high it was related
Lets put lead back in gas and see
“The two main synthetic rubber polymers used in tire manufacturing are butadiene rubber and styrene butadiene rubber. These rubber polymers are used in combination with natural rubber”
Yes, there are some petroleum derivatives in them but not plastic.
graph went down when lead was removed from fuel but population still went up
so that stat doesnt matter
The plastic in our bodies is probably from all the regular plastic bags and containers we throw in a landfill and they end up getting mixed in the ground water
Fair enough. I still think your graph is flawed
Looks like you got “owninated”
so gimma another reason the graph is faulty?
Hmm I guess you should email the people that made that study and tell them they're wrong then?
it barely resembles the shape tbh
Did the study say it came from tires?
it's like constellations looking like a scorpion or weighing machine
well i can get behind that
Yes, tire abrasion from tires "The particles generated, known as Tire and Road Wear Particles (TRWP), are a mixture of tire tread fragments and road surface elements. These particles are commonly considered microplastics because of their size and composition"
Interesting. I guess they call anything that contains petroleum derivatives microplastics now
Regardless, a study is meaningless unless peer-reviewed. And media loves to say “studies say” every time someone puts a theory in writing. It makes it sound more official
there is a delay, you need to be exposed to lead for some time for it to have effect, also other sources of lead contaminations got removed... NeoEx did mention population... but its more population density that also matters
drug use and stuff like that
its 1 factor that greatly multiplies the rest
but its the graph goin down with the lead fuel use that is verry telling, cuz all other factors remained increased
what will happen if it gets proved that lead = crime
will someone pay
or will this be used as a secret weapon
rubbers are polymers though, same as plastics
You missed a few posts since 😀
whats new
@empty dune
the fuck is this
That is completely unrelated to the rubber convo
Gwinny’s crazier sister had to “contribute”
yesss
i thought that's what the convo was though lmao
No, two different strands
also i don't have anything to do with gwinny
I’m still 60% sure you’re her alter id
let that sink in
what's even the similarity
we both can't follow convos?
Similar psychopathy
i am not a weirdo
who's missty
let's go back to petrol and violence
no idea
They live in #cpp
i think we are already there
its a graph 🙂
Forgot the “bad” 😀
do they also hug
No, I think that id is more the “crazy scientist/programmer” version
fun fact, the guy that invented leaded fuel also invented freon and nearly removed our planets entire onzonelayer:)
fun guy
Good thing he’s dead 💀
yea fuck him
leaded fuel doesnt melt steel beams
if i could program i definitely wouldn't waste away talking like a psycho
not saying i talk like a psycho tho
If you took the time to learn, you prly wouldn’t have time to waste on the psycho part
@empty dune guess what I get to do because I'm a complete dumbass with the attention span of a rock
i dont want to melt steel beams...
visit the did not pay tax jail?
then what about that mist
Noooo, I may be a dumbass but even I'm smart enough to not mess with the irs
sounds sus, call the TSA
been huffing lead paint? 🙂
I unintentionally threw some diseased pitting mix that killed 1 of my plants back into my big potting mix container
i wonder who get's insulted here by the assumptions that one person may be also another
bye bye
how are you today
So now I get to bake all of it in the oven to sterilize it for the next 2 hours
bye
😭 answer the question as well
Her id only exists to “program”
you passed your ping quota one ping ago
that was 2 pings
ah
no answer then
I am here to conspire againts all of you by myself
im the 1 man conspiritor
Pingable
then .. how are we even remotely alike
oh
oh no
Yeah
you gave all your plants plague?
Split personalities can be quite opposite to each other. You are all figments of the same fragmented mind
At first I thought it was blight and got really scared, calm and level headed now.
can't i be you then
Who knew you wasnt supposed to let the top dirt layer be wet
I’m afraid this id is taken. Not much glory here anyway
i am you
you just don't remember
how else do you water the plant without getting the dirt wet
Bottom watering
maybe water the leaves
and
pretend it's working
If you water it normally you're supposed to do it in the morning/midday so the top part can dry off
I didn't know the top was supposed to be dry so when I botton watered i let the top get wet as well
Yeah rain is a big part in it too
no i dont
i put a lil pot with beer in my garden to all the snails get drunk and drown in it
pro tip right there
With my watering and it raining every day for the past 2 weeks for 30 minutes up to 3-6 hours, it wasn't doing very good
i was just about to say something blockable
You bottom water your outside plants?
I'm just happy it my fault 🥹
go ahead, not like anything will change
They're in pots
also i put some red fake apples from christmas in my strawberries so the birds come peck it and dont come back when my berries are red
that makes me sad
It's too damn hot outside for me but they're peppers, they love that shit. What they dont love is my brother having the AC set to 50f
also i spray garlic water over my plants so i dont get micro critters in there... and vampires dont touch em
that pumpkin had a family
that hand looks terrifying
Big son of a bitch he is, starting to vine off, throwing out some flowers here and there. Plucked those off, want em to get bigger and establish more leaves first
you crushed his dreams
I got some cherry maters growing, should be ripe in a week
Idontevenliketomatoesunlessitspizza/pastasauce
To be even more honest, I dont eat 3/4ths the fuckin shit I'm growing
fried tomatos
Those are good
that leaf is huge yeah, I don't think i can eat that either
Once the weather got really warm these fuckers have been growing non stop really fast
What are the stats on those gloves?
i want a personal veggie garden someday
Lady bugs?
Spiky boy!
soup is good too

Good enough to stop the spikes on the pumpkin vines from poking me
Thorny bastards
That's gotta be at least 2 armor.
The downside is it's harder to pick smaller weeds
+2 Armor
+1 Toughness
-1 Dexterity
They are also good enough to withstand a bite from a gardener snake if I see one and decide to pick it up for a pet
Cutest lil snakes
Are you that guy who yoinks snakes and gators in the everglades?
No

I'm not dumb enough to go into the Everglades and get eaten up by mosquitoes
I didn't think anyone were. But here we are.
I dont want Ebola ecoli and malaria at the same time
Ecobolamalaria.
And its Florida, theres no telling who they've bitten
Could get aids from a mosquito because of that fact
Great, HIV mosquitos...
Cant wait to get done sterilizing this dirt, start more habaneros and go to bed
You sterilize dirt? I just realize I know nothing about growing anything...
I feel dumb.
you probably are
Thanks. 😄
I unintentionally threw in potting mix that was harboring a bad microb because I was also dumb when watering
don't you need to heat it up like a lot to sterilize it?
So yeah, if I didnt sterilize it and continued to use that everything I tties ti grow with that would die
Aww, just needs some hugs.....from the rounds of an explosive heavy bolter
140F for 30 minutes
But I'm doing 450f for 45 minutes
it's also done on some soil which gets sold to kill eggs of bugs and other pests
In the mean time I got to make my seed starting mix
That premix I bought was terrible
space marine 2 hype!

They haven't announced a release date yet, have they?
Just sometime this year?

It was a gift from my sister 4 years ago. She broke off one of the, leaves?, of her aloe vera and put it in a pot and gave it to me. And voila, it's still alive.
I wish I could have an outside garden tho :<
It's easy
Just dig in ground about 2 shovels heads worth and fill it with compost/perlite/bone meal/blood meal/bat guano/peat moss, grow stuff, plant rye grass 2 weeks before winter comes. When spring rolls around flatten the rye grass and kill it before it seeds, let it dry out and become a mulch. Start seeds indoors this time, and plant them in ground once they're 6-8 inches tall and are hardened off
And dont think the worst has happened and freak out when a plant or two dies
somehow this sounded more like the lack of garden area outside 😄
Theres always space outside
yea, one of my tomatos died, but theres 4 sprouts which i didn't count for...
so it's a win of 3 for now (if they all make it)
Buy grow bags, plant things in grow bags, take plants in grow bags outside for sun for 6-8 hours then bring back inside
I only have a single tomato plant
It has 4 tomatoes on it growing
I don't have the land. I live in an apartment :<
it's 3 different ones, so i hope i can figure which one i like most this year
and maybe get better next year
Then this @lofty lark
1 gallon or 3 gallon grow bags are good enough
but i'm also doing this on balcony because i don't have a garden
and just to see what works and what not
they probably wont get much fruits
4 cubic feet of potting mix can fill 6 3 gallon grow bags
dig to australia you find mons calamari on it natural habitat
You can make your own potting mix by mixing compost, peat moss/coconoir, and perlite
Word of advice, wear two pairs of oven mitts when taking hot dirt out of the oven
It really burns if you only use one pair
I"m running gears 4. Is not a bad game. IT's just the writing that is terrible
the art itself and animations remain high quality
it looks like a starfish
No that's just an alien shaped like one
yess
a lot of thick spikey things attached at a center
that's my definition of starfish shape
like a ⭐
what if it points down
look like jani's gif
it can be bendy
stars twinkle remember
awww
that's such a cute emote
send it big
i want the bigger one
i can barely see this react
by big i mean when you send it without text and it's just giant

AWW
It plays the same super react animation every time 
how many super reacts do you have as a nitro
this grows real big for me
infinite
Wtf
Removing all those tho so I don't get strike'd for emoji spam 
that was a LOT
How you do it so fast
his name isn't the only thing monster like i guess, he is agile like one too
you better stay awake
I am
tho, "died while burning dirt" leaves room for interpretations
Im trying to figure out why miracle grow decided to lace their bag of perlite product with their plant food
And why does it have propagation instructions on the back of the perlite bag
This company is damn confusing man istg
todays project:
Yeah you should fix that shit
hehe
i grabed my best pipe brackets
plastic is nice but nothing beets galvanized steel for strength
Wait, do you too just put your printer on the floor under your desk?
what if you kick it
Yall keep your printer after the ink it comes with runs out?
nah we get a new printer each time
That's what I do
he looks like cotton candy
When are they gonna make printers that are really efficient tho
yeah it weighs 40 pounds
my desk would break
i heard they make printer cheap and the ink costly for normal humans, but for companies they make the printer costly and ink cheaper
also burn out the raise/lower motor
Dirts done, steaming hard
This is for science, to see how smoke rising from dirt from intense heat behaves so I can make killer smoke effects later on in life
My tongue
Taste the acid. Taste the neutral
Tbh I dont use ph sensors/testers
I'm just raw dogging this shit
Why
Shopping for what
Cus I am a piss poor example of how to garden
Sensors need to be calibrated strips dont
But you use more strips to make sure the first strip was accurate
My brother uses strips, these hotsauce makers I watch use nice little ph sensor probes
I'd trust the hotsauce guys and get a decent sensor
Blame Tiktok for making homesteading mainstream
homesteading?
The art of being self sufficient
tbh that's kinda attractive considering the prices
Raising your own aninals to eat, growing your own food for them and you
Collecting and filtering your own water
Solar panels arent there yet for them to fully take over and power your house are they?
i like the idea of going back to caveman days tbh so this is kinda better, atleast you get to keep internet
and the cost is probably super high to install them
might as well get a bunch of hamsters in a wheel
You can get a grant from the government that will pay for your own greenhouse too
You just need the space to put it
You left out all the optimizing needed to make it usable
That's 95% of a voxel engine
What happened to that quick sand hell clone project you was doing
maybe the investers ran out of funds
make a game where the mouse is a mouse
Like a lil bowling game, use the acceleration of the mouse and the mass of the bowling ball to get its speed and force
Like the Wii did when you swing the remote
Pressing space at the right time twice is boring
Frame latency tho, isnt 16ms a little high
100 million is little more than way too many
maybe he is simulating nanite
Crank it up to 1 billion for the fucks of if
confirmed, this printer retails for 3300usd. ink retails for $30 and lasts for 20,000 prints
yay 🥳
be careful though, if you don't print often, those ink freeze
i know
i got the printer free too a company i was working for changed over to a whole suit of borther printers so they can remote connect to each location, so they were gonna throw this one out
aww
poor printer
ponki works only when motivated
imagine all the sand getting in
yikes

I'm at the top of the dam in Gears 4. Who had this stupid idea of going to the elevator twice? Two missions just to get a joke "it's still not working, we have more work to do"
it seems that they cut down on costs and reused environments by having to traverse the same environment twice
nest with nothing on it (aside from a mount and power strip)

AW2 casually taking more awards lol
What are you thoughts on it?
Is that the one that needed a NASA supercomputer to run
I was vaguely interested until I saw the leaked requirements
I absolutely loved it, it is one of my favorite games ever (finished it twice)
And It legit might be one of the best horror games
I played on a 4090 with everything cranked up so probably not the best person to talk about performance 😅
But my dad is playing on the 2nd PC with a 6900xt, i9 9900k, 1440p, everything maxed out except pathtracing and it's running just fine as well (like 80-110 fps)
When it initially release it was expensive to run but they did a bunch of optimization updates and improved it a lot
These are the new specs
Yeah probs gonna struggle to run it on my RX 580 😆
Which is sad, but oh well
hm yeah 580 might be tough 😅
I meeean I have been looking for an excuse to build a new rig 🤣
tho you might actually be able to play it decently on low
And low in alan wake 2 looks way way better than you would expect, what PS5 is running is pretty much the low preset on PC
Yeah I've noticed graphics have gotten good to the point where low is still pretty damn good 😆
Might have to give it a shot. Worst case I refund
That’s basically work right now. They get the system to a semi-decent state and then they live patch it with “upgrades” so everything breaks and we waste countless labour hours

I cant believe Senua is so detailed they had to add some peach fuzz
Just finished Gears of War 4 and the rolling credits include so many artists with chinese names. I'm just curious. Is it common for many many great games to have chinese artists? In the social media and some networks I commonly access there seems to be so many high quality art comming from chinese artists.
its a relatively common outsourcing place
especially for art
those arrows, it's as if the last button was made to be smashed
why did you change your name?
it's confusing because half people here call me au
also that's my nick, not my name
that was what you are
gold abuser
i think you want to trick people again
dont knock a good thing
and, I'd rather not be associated with gwinny or mist
that wasn't because of the name
if my actual name is shorter, people will type what's shorter
you make up excuses
use the modern word, capitalist
? if you allow me to dm i will change it back
😭
told you, dont knock a good thing
I should make my name longer
i will just call you moly poly
how about void* UUnrealSlacker::Freshly_Generated_Calamari()
Or you could call me... monopoly 😮
woaa
oh btw, ive been meaning to ask. when visiting the epic dev forums, i see someone called Ben UI referred a lot. Is that you by any chance?
that's good
didn't you ask me this the other day in #umg ?
no?
there's so many bens here he couldn't even get a username called Ben
Ben -noUI
nope
maybe it was _raindust UI in umg
now i am
yeah, i see a lot of solutions for my problems being solved by posts mentioning his work
btw au, you pinged me twice today
how are you
...
3
no more responses now
Ben 3
it's okay
neither tomorrow
we are getting there
i am sure you will go offline and never show up for a few days anyway
UnrealFest hype
yea likely
the best way is to overload you with pings enough for 2 days
that way, I won't be wasting any
see, we gonna change the rules now
what's that? new festival?
every ping over threshhold = 1 day block
not new, youre new 😛
so this message wouldn't count as ping
thats day 1, bye
how long has this been happening for?!?
I dunno, years... but now it happens all over the world
what do they do in it even
have you been there?
it's a secret meeting for hugs and getting in touch
1 day block? Does discord even have that feature? Don’t tell me you’re taking the time to unblock
oh no dont tell em that
the threshold was 0
there's no way that's true, if it is true, that means none of the people here would go
oof
wow thats the same threshold I have for hugs
Who wants to get hugged by complete strangers ? 😀
depressed people
(im one)
hugs always come with strings
Ok but you rly want to get hugged by randos?
and ropes
for au they come with ropes
i said complete strangers, not needy creeps
well, maybe not
i see why people make alts
You’re an alt
no, i am au now
Go away Misty’s alt
just au
plot twist: it's tim
Not enough mentions of the ‘verse
hugiverse
that's basically vr chat in a nutshell
bold of you to block tim. 10% royalties just for you and the threshold is lowered to 1000$
still $0 for them
and he is probably fixing and rewriting half the engine
especially if i keep searching 2h for the one checkbox which "breaks" everything under some circumstances
so i doubt tim can do much
“You’ll never catch me making $1M!” (Ben, 2024)
suffering from not success
Samesies
success within suffering
@unreal ether general manager, i have not done shit for two days except play battlefleet gothic 2. pushback the deadline pls 🤣
you will be fired, rain
Tf is bf gothic?
penalty
i feel like my productivity went down by the factor of 7 or smth
what i get done in a week feels like a day of work
ah so that's why i got blocked
i bet it's mostly because of compile times or something tho
i can't imagine how devs work after your flow breaks that many times
Kinda like how you keep pinging Ben everyday
@brittle holly just for context, each of those ships you see in that gif is over 10 km long
In lore I imagine
if you take a "break" before checking the result, it would give you more incentive to not fix anything, but just do some changes then take a break
i wouldn't have to ping him if i could dm 💢

What actually helped me overcome the breaks in continuity a little was actually using Trello
Not an ad
Just better than notepad lists
okay average alan wake 2 fan
what's trello
can you make it in your game?
checklist?
kanban board
how?
it's just for keeping track
Free Jira basically
how does it prevent breaking continuity
if you take 10 billion years, im sure. each cube can be scaled up on any axes by upto 4 and the grid size changed to 64 m
ah so it's like rain's manager, except you are your own manager
hey, tit for tat
Because I would come back to the project the next day or days later and feeling like idk what to start fixing or what to continue working on, it would take me time to figure out where I’d left off especially if more than one day passed, and that was demoralizing in itself
I use mental maps
And by mental maps I mean that I keep everything in my head as the name suggests


No lol, thankfully once I start going I can go on for several hours
AU doesn’t even know what compiling means I think
Just a word they’ve seen thrown around here
I can go brr as long as I'm making or fixing shit, but then when it gets to the final stages and I have to wait for the big boi compiles I lose all focus
same
en then compile 47 times to fix every error
Yeah, I don’t do enough cpp to have to compile for that long
@timber viper this you?
it really is a blessing when I can get back to c#
it just works
dammit
i was gonna give you a silver
But like what’s the hype
i keep the goal in mind
what hype
and when i hit play in PIE i see what's missing to reach the goal
The C# one
its a special type of jello
I just like being productive intead of the language and system fighting me
and then i just start with something, because everything it's a god damn mess
i know about it 💢
it's when your code is being processed or your materials and getting converted to assembly or whatever that is easy to run
okay maybe not the best explanation
Yeah I used to do that. But honestly actually having Features to Add, Work in Progress and even Fixed lists helped my morale
hmmm
believable
Like I keep fixing shit back to back and it feels great to see that list grow
i should try that
And if I break something by accident I can track it down in the comments for stuff I fixed
most of the days i keep working on the problem from yesterday
then i solve some small problems which come along during working
and then either start something bigger, or get involved into smth bigger for the next days 😄
I have a hard time staying on the same problem ad nauseam, so it helps to have a dev tracker
here, anyone use nuclino? its like indie jira
i rarely take breaks from problems unless they occupy me for a few days
i love it, been using it for a year
then it's good to get a clear head
Ive handed all my project management over to AI now
i should handle my DMs with AU over to AI
he would be busy and probably more happy, too 😄
but would the AI give out hugs under false pretenses
the way au speaks, my mental image of his age swings wildly between 13 to 300
depends i guess
Yeah I have a more ltd attention span as I grow older, so I can do hours on the same thing but days back to back gets demoralizing unless I jump to a different problem in the interim. Thing is tho, sometimes addressing other concerns or learning to implement new features tends to help me figure out solutions for the other problems
I still think it’s Missty’s alt
i don't think so
And also Gwinny’s
that's more possible, but also questionable
I haven’t seen Split but I heard it’s good
And it’s basically them
Completely diff personalities trapped in one body and one discord server
no
i can perform better than an ai
roll a d20
au how do you feel about Germany?
lets see your performance check
it's big for Europe
Good save
10
hmm, doesnt sound like gwinny
dc was 11....
because i am not related to gwinny in any form
:game_die: 5
oof
finished reworking my Nest™️
Exactly what someone trying to cover up being Gwinny would do
super cool
au has non broken english
So? Split personalities can have entirely diff accents
here, roll a d20

I’m telling you, it’s Missty/Gwinny
hm?
gwinny was a game dev right? if i was gwinny I'd know about game dev more
Ban one, so we can see if they all go away
I have a nice image for you
maybe you are both of them xD
and you are trying to distract
I’m not mental enough
we are doing performance checks, dnd style. roll a d20 XD
that's what a 3 times split person would say
You make a valid point
Then again I’ve gone hell diving and came back
thank you so very much
Is that Chris Roberts testing out his scam? 😀
i'm not a big fan of carpet
came with the house im in now
i have the same problem
the one im building will have tile
That’s a lot of stuff you can afford on a disability check ngl
dads footing the bill for the house on his property
Ah
mutualfundsaresubjecttomarketrisks.exe
but its my design, and my layout
I believe you
did you get it checked once over by an architect?
this version no, its currently at the group building the housing tile set
Lol poor Kaos dealing with Missty
they are reworking it
get it checked once, safety standards and what not
yeah
then they will build it in panels in the workshop then ship the whole thing to us.
the design is that aside from the foundation, and plumbing/electrical/HVAC will be able to be prebuilt so 2 people and a nail gun can assemble the entire house
that is impressive
Our Prefab Home Kits are not just pre-cut lumber. We have been working with Owner/Builders as a “One Stop Shopping” outlet for blueprints, construction materials, information, and financial direction to build their own home.
if possible i would swap cellar and bathroom
probably easier with the water pipes then
cellar is technically pantry
technical is the heating/dryer and small tankless water heater
final design moves the kitchen door over into the dining room area
ok, so that room has water which you can bring to the bathroom
and kitchen
"cellar" also has attic access via reinforced shelves and a square in the ceiling
so you are going to climb up the shelves to get there?
yeah, my disability is sustained effort, not direct effort (also mental)
the shelves will be the ladder
the only reason to go up is to work on the inside HVAC unit
going to be ultra long term non climate controlled storage
i would at least recommend to plan in a ladder for later
def, if its needed
you aren't going to be <30 your whole life
lol
90% of the storage is going to be the single large walk in closet
the 7'4 in the office is based on the width of my desk
i am in this picture and i dont like it
oh you cleaned up
not sponsored by duro
is it me or is it weird th have a bathroom open up into the living room
also, is there a wall between living room and dining or is that just open?
also, where is the door to your office, or how do you get to it? seems like also no walls?
I have a hard time imagining how I would live in this layout 🤔
but it's not my house
like plaster?
