I don't even have a video for you @fleet tangle
the video itself is currently locked on one of the dev's drive for their handin
we had an artist that was really bad at commiting, so we made him just commit at the end of the day every day (not push), which meant the commits were not always meaninful, but at least we had some tracking
Submitting where and how?
I got to submit my work 3 weeks prior
and that was the framework with everything
submitting on blackboard, file upload
I'm sure I don't want to know what that is.
sitting in the same room does help with getting shit resolved
It's like an academic google drive with turnitin baked in
online platform for schools where you submit assignments I think?
maybe I'm wrong
I'm sure we'll be fine for the student showcase
so long as the devs kick into gear and get their heads straight with extensions to fix this mess
luckily you should not encounter this in an actual job
and if you do, you know to look for something else
and I'll have to explicitly port over their content
Oh no, you will. Luckily those people get fixed or fired, though.
permission to be scared shitless of that possibility, sir?
If you have to do anything to fix their poor efforts, you should (again) complain to the university and try to get their marks reduced.
Yeah I did
What's happening is my work is being marked independently
They have my framework and all the tooling intact
then the devs handed in their copy (the "content copy") 3 weeks later
So fuck the rest off and leave them to it.
so they were gonna mark the latter based on that
well the team's concerned and possibly mad at me becuase I've got to fix this for june 6th
so they get fair representation at the student showcase
I'd fucking take slate or a shotgun over this sometimes
Slate has its advantages - easy merging for one.
i love tools, tool making and tool design. I hate absolute neglect and misuse of tools for careless purposes
I made this cool texture set tool over the weekend for grouping textures by material property. Fun stuff.
(you'll be able to use it in 5.5)
noice!
It was actually very easy.
just to show you too, i'm the only one actually animating the mech
and i've made a custom skeletal system for it too (custom C# tooling)
it uses Unity's editor window stuff
but uses a blank animator and the anim system for stuff
Very cool!
it's so I can procedurally assemble mechs
and I found even more unique C# stuff to achieve it
including a way to return ref classes
Is that like sequencer, but for unity and written by you?
no it's the unity sequencer
Why are you in a team?
Why aren't you working by yourself, shining magnificently as a beacon for all the other lone geniuses out there?
my system just piggybacks off of it and is entirely runtime-only
i'm no genius at all
I just read. a lot.
if anything the Dark Lord of Slate over here is more qualified than I
Yes, I didn't say you were.
I asked why you aren't working alone for OTHER genuises to be inspired by. π
I'm not sure I follow
She's in university doing a group project. Little choice.
I've been at least making the most of what I've got
90s on my first three modules (2x tasks/handins per module)
Being solo leads to Palpatine. This is true glory.
Nicely done! What's the course you're taking?
I was told explicitly that the lowest I could get for team project practical is a 70 of 100 (already a first) and I should hit an 80 thereabouts
At least you get finger lightning.
A games programming one under the Open University standard
I want to get a high mark for my dissertation stuff becuase that's 40 credits and the rest are 20 each (4x 20 credit modules, 1x 40 credit)
but that means I'm going to be here a lot. frequently. and with much pain as I create a prototype proof of concept tool for unity and unreal
yeah thats why i have some freelance experience under my belt
and some open source projects
gotta make sure I have a small, but noticeable presence.
to finally have a decent walking anim is nice
the picture is not moving π
yeah i know lmao
how are we supposed to know it's decent
Theatre of the mind, Dieter.
comparatively I was just setting hard-scripted rotations for any change so this is going to be wild to see and (probably) hard to fix for side stepping mechs and stuff
hand-made rig?
it assembles itself when the script awakes, before play
part of a mech customization system
we must assume it's not good, until proven otherwise.
This is proper.
Hey! We endorse only Ax10 games here.
@deep copper are you a rigged game?
This is a phenomenon indeed. You pinged him?!
azreal the control rig might work
:question: are au the riggerd game or game for rigging?

Oh, now I get @deep copper βs previous name

I like how coconut ends on um
yeah, it's +01 234 56 78 90
$60m/yr wouldnt even get you Dieter (in a just world)
he's just like me
knows he wont be able to find a partner
so better ai means better ai girlfriends
did you know deja is a she
is he already married to deja
no but i asked deja out once
what did she say
accepted
Deja's a she?
I thought it was a sentient cube. Those tend to be fairly genderless
she referred herself as she on her own
we saw it on the console
i didnt know either

why, you arent into cringefest?
That's taking place between September 30, and October 3rd 
:question: did quinn and deja had the party where you was just observer?
:8ball: As I see it, yes.
how explaining
it means your download failed
good catch
i'll give you once I arrive at belgium
I'll inform customs that they can take it from you
I can only give via hand
why do I get recruiter hitting me up for full stack role
lady I hate front end
and have never done it professionally
how tf would I want to be a senior full stack dev
and she says 3 days remote work, but forgets to mention that the 2 days in office are fixed
what bs is that lol
why marvel do this
great question
we just wanted cool superhero stuff π’
It ends in yum.
I don't like coconut
coconut is not even a nut
so you know they just named it nut cause of the white liquid inside
15 minute nap
I'm not built for that
dakum when hiring someone to control that stuff who dont know anything of marvel or dont want those who are marvel fans to act
You get used to it
Then youre not sleepy enough!
that's not how my body works
Thats how everybody works
Rest, even if not asleep, is still helpful.
naps always make me more tired than just staying awake π
Riot launches Faker themed "SIGNATURE Immortalized Legend Collection" for League of Legends, ~$450 USD skin bundle
I heard valorant comestics are expensive, but this is taking the cake
i am your game and your game only, you may mod me freely or rig me as you see fit
yes but it didn't work
maybe the threshold for sleepy is just different
there is a very big gap between tired, and tired enough to sleep for me
Sounds like Faker news.
I would have to know what was in it but that price I'd expect at least half of all their skins for every character. Since they gave away all the characters for free to certain platforms, I guess the money dried up so they are throwing a punt at some whales. It's of no harm to anyone tho. If you can't afford it, don't buy it and you can buy all individual skins easily enough on the cheap. If not earn them for free.
like I play perhaps 6 chars in that game. So I have tonnes of currency to get any character I want. Right now I'm just getting new chars but I can buy shitloads with just freeplay
is it just 1 skin?
says a bundle but lets go check
ok that's not what I expected.
sorry i only follow discord nitro scams
I think server mods apply this all day
i didnt know you could fake urls with markdown on discord
βοΈ so faker url
you can show any text as url
like a hyperlink
I see they have 3 bundles. Presumably to try catch each variant of supporter. But for that content ? I'd want way more
stay hydrated guys
They need to stop selling us skins and start letting us design them for cash. I'd pay $50 to get my skin in a game I loved.
minecraft does that for free
PoE lets you design items for like $1000 or something. I like that idea
They had regular skin contests in csgo, but they select the winners (that go into seasonal cases). If you are chosen you can safely retire and live rich
I like counter strike's way of doing it.
You can submit your skins to the workshop, and highly rated and loved ones have a chance to be ported to be native in game, and you get a split of all sales from them.
you are just making me thirsty at this point π
yeah that sounds good for the right percentage but then it's voted upon which means there are limited spots I guess. Something more obtainable to get in game would be better. Like in CS beta/1.0++ we had sprays that could literally be anything. I've seen some stuff man, and some things. So wild west is out, but moderated with image detection for text and/or offensive imagery isn't out of the realm of possibility
you were born thirsty, but not in the hydration kind of way
no
this sounds like usecase for nfts!
I saw one that was a series of them which stacked into a fake ladder. Caught a few people out π
I dont think it needs NFT but it could be done with or without it.
i hope it doesn't becomes a weird tax evasion or something with skins next
tbh, not like it matters to me, if everyone involved is happy
small man tax fraud means nothing tho. If the top 500 companies paid all their tax owed instead of loopholing it, you wouldn't even need to pay tax.
blame legistlation I guess
yeah the legitimacy of some loopholes takes any responsibility away from the accountants. But who lobbies the government for tax cuts for corporate interests?
blame corrupt politicians
if I had tax loopholes available to me I would use them as well
can't blame them
I use one myself. Capital Expenditure. I work from home so I get tax reduction on certain things like internet and part of my energy bill
any computer stuff is basically a tax write off too. Software. etc. It's not really a loophole per se.
i guess transparency is the issue, if we are all paying for something with unclear benefits, no one wants to do it
I don't buy my stuff via an account in a Panamanian bank or anything.
working want everything but can't afford to pay for it. middle class want everything but don't want to pay for it. rich people have everything and want to take more from the middle and working class. It's like the Class Sketch π https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOOKOl3rDWQ
A clear division between upper, middle and lower class
So star citizen hit 700$ million
π’
how do i make my own star citizen?
replace all assets slightly and done
when a daddy star citizen and a mommy star citizen love each other very much, they can make a new star citizen
Well technically you could with Unreal Engine. Start with the Simulation template so you have geo-cordinates in your project. Then start making spheres you can land on.
I suppose now, with PCG and PCG Biome, if you stacked enough assets you could make some pretty good planets. Or just have 5 assets and make Starfield.
Ohyeah procedural generation would be a big boon. It'd be a rogue-like. those guys love repeative stuff
the PCG stuff is super powerful but it's not some out of the box magic. You do need the assets to make it worthwhile. I've done a few things with minimal assets, using megascans for biomes etc, and holy moly does it need a beefy PC. I wouldn't work on a game with unless I was rocking 128gb of ram for sure.
I run 32gb right now, DDR5 so it's fast. I also have 3 swap file drives. I tried to make one biome cover a 2x2km area and just spawn some trees. It used all 32gb, 2 full swap files (my OS one didn't allow access apparently) and I was waiting anywhere between 15-30 minutes per edit. And I mean, per edit. Anything changed it was a full 75,000 tasks to run.

Kind of. I'm starting my own company, or trying to, and I'm working on a quick run out game to start for the revision. Nothing more than another 3 months. Then onto the main point of the business and prying for some licensing deals on the cheap

ah, nice
Can you have royalty based license for your unreal engine plugin?
Say I want to make a plugin and release it on Github, But users are required to pay for example 1% if used commercially, Same as unreal engines 5% royalty
If you do the distribution yourself. On the MP - no.
You might have a harder time gaining users though. Not even larger devs tend to opt for that model
It's not often people want to sacrifice essentially equity for a minimal subset of the game.
Subscription/flat fee tend to be the most popular ones for plugins
An entry bar, say $100k is better tho. No 1% for each miserable 100$ of some indie game.
Perpetual + paid upgrades is the best imo.
I was thinking more like unreal engines 5%, or perhaps the exact same, after 1m or something
SStill gonna be a tough sell. 5% for the entire engine will be a lot more forgiving than 5% for a small plugin.
Well, if you target these numbers, I expect to be one badass plugin i.e. you should have a big staff behind to advise you on that matter.
After 1m you've basically guaranteed you won't have any income unless you're well established
Agree, Its just a thought
You're certainly allowed to, there's just a reason why most don't :P
Don't fall into the trap like Logic Driver did though, where you release for free on the MP, and then state "If you earn over X, you must buy a license"
Because you don't have to
Not to mention the overhead of enforcing a royalty-based agreement.
Seems like an awful lot of admin work for a small business.
Also that
There's also the fact that most could get away with no payment.
If some larger studio refuses to pay you, do you really have the means to enforce payment?
pfist pfist pfist
Indeed. I suspect most small businesses simply don't have the resources for such things.
pfist hi
Hello.
how are you
A bit overworked.
i am au
do you remember me
we used to greet each other here an year back
i see, an overworked pfist, that's not very good
I'll be alright. It's just a stressful week. It will pass.
I've been staying on top of my workouts this week, so that helps a lot.
i suppose time will heal yes
Been playing some games to relax, too.
that's nice, what you been playing pfist
Wuthering Waves, a new open-world RPG that released last week and is made with Unreal.
lol, bro was bragging about the new gacha
Like wuthering heights then?
I never read it, actually.
It's a good game so far. Very fun combat.
If you like high-speed action with dodge, parry, counter attacks, etc.
that sounds cool!
Yea, he praised the combat. On other hand he is hard core Genshin-er.
Who?
I was still talking about my bro.
Ah. I didn't realize you literally meant your brother.
I am used to people these days saying "Bro said x" as a generic way to refer to someone.
I play Genshin, too, but casually.
I see, lol. It is how we refer to each other since... a decade or two.
Looks this new one will challenge it?
I think so, especially for people like me who prefer deeper combat.
But I think Genshin will be fine.
Looks a bit erratic to me, as say in typical button mashing way.
You cannot get away with button mashing in Wuthering Waves. It requires more skill than other similar games.
I guess, I will get my head stuffed with more info when I see my bro these days.
It is always nice to have some competition. Didn't knew you are into these anime mmos, lol.
btw, congrats on the 9 years server
It's not an MMO. Neither is Genshin. They're single-player games with optional, light co-op modes.
Thank you! Hard to believe this community has existed for so long.
Beards get more white and whiter.

Blue man is yet to grow anything that resembles a beard π
well you could make image of you with bluebeard then
I played genshin for the first couple years but then it got way too "weeb" if that makes any sense. Kinda turned me off
Any Finnish people here know the Finnish term for somebody who likes to stir the shit? π
Somebody who "deliberately causes trouble" by saying certain things, etc.
my finnish goes as far as perkele, hyva perse, pussi
I have no idea why I need this. My friend is asking.
What was the turning point? It has always been an anime-style game.
I didn't start playing Genshin until version 2.6, so I missed the early days.
we need @fluid bloom to hablo ingles
see told you janisku was crazy
Janisku is actually the bear.
You remember the chasm expansion? Remember how that's when the game dropped all semblance of nuance in character design and just started selling big boob anime girls? Iirc that's when they added the swim suit functionality as well. That was just too much for me
cause playing with one hand was too difficult?
Like sure, genshin had weird lore from the beginning (like ganyu having such thick thighs she choked a monster to death) but i could still ignore it
But that chasm update was just too weird for my tastes
well i have seen people playing games like elden rign with dance mat
Dance Dance Ringolution!
I started right when The Chasm released. I can't say I agree about character design, though. I am not aware of any swim suit functionality, either.
Did they remove that? Lmao, that would be funny
They added this beach event and the prizes was two swim suits for i think barbara and jean
Barbara did get a very modest swimsuit outfit, yes.
Jean's summer outfit is not a swimsuit, though.
Heh, wouldn't be surprised if they changed it, i stopped playing when the update was announced so i didn't actually play the update
Im pretty sure there was a huge controversy though and i do remember feeling very weird about it
I recommend checking the game out again if you enjoyed it. Version 4.x has been the best so far, in my opinion. Great characters, story, music, and environments in Fontaine.
But that was 2 years ago, could be bad memory
Hmm, i might, i do miss monstadt
That was my favorite region
Monstadt is great.
There's this one spot on overlooking a cliff and when you go there some really serene music plays
I used to just park my character there and listen to the music, that's all
Genshin music is top notch
If you are a fan of art deco, baroque, and Victorian fashion, you will like a lot of the designs in Fontaine.
Could not agree more. Regardless of the rest of the game, the music is just incredible.
I have a playlist on Spotify of all my favorite relaxing/chill music from every region.
I still need to add Fontaine.
Do i have to unlock the other regions or can i beeline it?
I think i unlocked inazuma, monstadt and liyue
If I remember correctly, they added a special waypoint for people who want to start Fontaine right away.
A lot has changed. You will get a bunch of intertwined fates when you log in. They now give one out for completing each archon quest act, and it's retroactive.
Intertwined??
Damn
That's insane
Intertwined bikinis
Okay screw it im gonna download it
Shush
This character has been my favorite from Fontaine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1EEvbQXe6Y
Although the Spina di Rosula operates efficiently, the results achieved are often proportional to the ruckus caused.
Occasionally, when the scene gets out of control, a Melusine officer would hurriedly step in to intervene by stating "Now, now, everyone, please, don't panic. They're just filming the latest crime movie!"

You're not helping
Gorgeous design and a ton of fun to play. She has a gun in her umbrella. It's hilarious, and satisfying.
She has an endearing story, too.
Is xiao still op af? Playing him was absolutely hilarious
Just jumping up and down and everything dies, including him
Yeah he's still considered strong, and has synergy with some newer characters.
Nice
I never did get the appeal for these games but then again Iβm not a huge anime fan either
I never recruited Xiao myself.
I like anime and JRPGs, so that's where my interest comes from.
Neither am i, i just like the exploration part of genshin. Surprisingly, even though it's a mobile Gacha game, the exploration is amazing
Closest i can compare it to would actually be horizon zero dawn
Like each new area felt different, and you actually felt rewarded for exploring
I mean Iβve played other gachas with good exploration but still a gacha so I get bored when it becomes a chore
Indeed. The exploration is great. Itβs fun to discover hidden caves, puzzles, and even optional quest chains with surprisingly good writing.
Yeah, it has a surprising quality bar that it aims for
The sacred sakura ritual in Inazuma comes to mind.
That really threw me for a loop when I first started playing. I was not interested at all until a friend of mine who knew how much I loved exploration, puzzles, and music, recommended that I try it.
I had no prior experience with free to play a Gacha games, so I didnβt know what to expect.
It still feels weird to me that I can play such a high-quality game for free.
Alas, I am an old-school gamer.
The whales pave the way for us
I mean you did sacrifice your personal data so not entirely free
But I did hear Chinaβs banning gachas so that should be interesting
That's like half their economy thoughπ
Exactly
We can then proceed to collect billions of tears
I actually spent money on genshin
Nothing big, just the 30 day premium currency bundle
Looks like theyβ¦gacha π
Thats why you have no longer fun. Spend more. π€
I think i bought it a few times to try and get a character i wanted
What could go wrong
The anti cheat only exists in pc lol
The mobile version doesn't have it
Fair enough, go get your mobile bikinis then
Well, they donβt have my real email address.
I donβt play on mobile either.
Nice. Thanks!
well, you either play on mobile and get data harvested or you play on pc and get that delicious kernel level anti cheat
youre fucked either way though
a G5 airplane
25 gb for a mobile game..........
You talking about cod mobile
genshin impact
Oh
Last time it was 15.49GBs or around that
Dont they render the entire world map even the parts you cant see?
i doubt thats true, that map is gigantic
and its only gotten bigger
i dont think phones can handle all that being rendered at all times
It feels like it alot of times on ps4
It's a gacha game, if pokemon did it with scarlet and violet, I wouldn't put it past genshin
i dont think its feasible for them to that. scarlet and violet map was small and they knew their target hardware perfectly
this game has to run on cheap phones powered by spit and prayers
thats............irrelevant to what im saying
its like comparing apples and oranges
Apples and oranges have similarities
They both come from a tree
i think thats included in the fruit part
Strawberries come from little plants that love to clone themselves
sounds a bit bananas to me
is there a released game that using world partition?
they say the engine was made for fortnight
Any other games? Maybe arena breakout?
im wondering if there is a company outside of "epic" using that feature with no issues
Sort of. Apple is technically a "false fruit" because it comes from a different part of the plant.
A very technical difference, though.
? so what fruit should i be
okay, if this is said to be popular
i wasn't sure which A to be so i became all
Good choice!
thx

I remember reading about that.
i never lie
Computer security is awful.
It is 89 GB on PC.
The largest game I ever played was Forza Horizon 5, which clocks in at ~135 GB.
Rookie numbers, wait for the new wave of AAA nanite games.
Is it out for PC?
Ah, yes. Instant whishlist.
lol, similar games: Starfield
Cheapest skin on the store costs 500 IGC. You can only buy IGC in batches of 450. Player First indeed.
Multiverses monetization
Things like this are what give all in-game purchases a bad reputation.
dc have some multiverse game

Here is a lovely example of why I am really enjoying Wuthering Waves' combat thus far. You can't have this kind of fun in Genshin Impact.
Crownless is the perfect boss to learn how to dodge and parry IMO.
Support build Sanhua because why not.
#wutheringwaves #wuwa #sanhua #bossfight #solo #nodamage
I love a good dodge and parry system.
They add a whole new layer of strategy and skill, especially in boss fights.
How is the game? What did you like about it?
The combat is what shines brighter than everything else.
I am pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of the game, but the combat is by far the best feature.
Cool. Is it basically single-player and a long grind?
It is singleplayer, yes. There is optional co-op, though, so you can play with your friends.
I think co-op is only for exploration and farming, not story.
Not sure. I just play alone.
I really enjoy the kind of combat systems you find in Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Black Desert Online, etc.
High risk, high reward. Feverish pace. Flexible combos. Dodging and parrying.
I was attracted by the combat in the videos.
I was wondering if it was a grind though. I think I am past my prime for too much grind.
It is as fun as it looks.
Every RPG will have grinding. The game has only been out for a week, so it is difficult to say, but so far the grind is manageable.
I have just been doing quests and exploring the world. I have not really dabbled in the end-game yet.
It is structured very, very similarly to games like Genshin Impact.
Sure. I wil try to post some videos once I get better at dodging and parrying.
It looks pretty good, too. The game is made with a modified version of Unreal Engine 4.26.
The developers stuck with 4.26 for stability and maturity, then backported some features from 5.x as needed.
All in game purchases bad and exploitative
ππ
0:26 gives me big "I am the storm that is approaching vibes" 
That combat looks really fun
it's also changing colors WOAOA
this is amazing
what's with that ball tho, is it to increase the spread of light
this is so quick at response, it lights up nearly instantly under shade
the power of a phototransistor
how much battery does this consume
how the fuck should I know
is it battery
what's it running on
is it directly plugged
it uses a single cr2032 battery
hmmm
but how much of it it uses idk
since it also has a transition from different colors, maybe slowing it down could give you a evening to midnight different color light
hmmm
even a week would be high tbh
i guess it's doing more than a clock??
but less than a phone
so probably lasts between 1 day to 1 year
idk
you can also use it like a dynamite or flashbang, throw it in a dark room and close the door
it's not that bright
it's cute tho
it's also in a ball
wait if you
put it in your mouth, it would glow
correct
you can also make godly handshakes
if you strap it to your palm
on handshake, it will glow
@empty dune Bhut jolokia, hot banana, cayenne, and yellow habaneros π
$16 bucks for all that from nursery to replace the ones I had who died from damp off disease
I'm playing wandering waves the combat is really flashy
I like that I can skip cutscenes
Genshin is incredible....sliw....dialog.
I quit in the first two hours
Oh wow
Don't know why people love games who think the player is an idiot lol
I hate games where they think you're a fuckin idiot
"Maybe you should hit that glowing thing"
"That thing is glowing, maybe I can hit it"
Obviously mr developer, it's been like that since games were being made. Maybe I wanna go get the chests your level designer put over in the fucking corner??
I love having no power at home during finals week
@broken sigil Did you read about Lavender AI and Daddy?
What is this RPG dance and why is it on my algorithm?
Which RPG dance are you referring to?
These worms also want to join the diplomatic discussion.
Idk, some weird k-pop trend I guess
Do you mean Wuthering Waves?
I haven't 
Idk what that is
Google it. It's a very interesting read.
Those two are military AIs. F@#$!ed up military AIs.
It's the new game that's similar to Genshin Impact. pfist was talking about it earlier.

Sounds interesting lol
after some casual chat with ChatGPT....
Next talk about using baby wipes to wash a car
And sand instead of a car shampoo

manipulating AI is the real fun, and what keeps me engaged in talking to them xD
it's llama3 8B
Gonna be trying 70B probably tomorrow, didn't have the patience to wait for it to donwload lol
that llama-3 sounds really exciting
sometimes it's kinda easy and sometimes it's really hard
so far llama3 has been extremely impressive
I compared it to llama2, llama2 feels dumb as a rock compared to 3
are you writing agents for it?
I'm looking into using it for synthetic dataset generation
meanwhile messing with it lol
I was there to watch it 
I witnessed it
speaking of Deja...
I'm gonna try to integrate it with Deja
Deja is on the openAI api, but I can make it real unhindged with local models
I'm wondering .... what kind of size on disk are we talking for a setup for 8b?
it's 4GB
god thats light
yeah
it's running Q4
(int4 quantization)
can run on a potato
using like 7-8GB of VRAM for large contexts
and it's super fast
hmm that could be a drag but I guess thats for large. I need to look into it more
I'm gonna try an unquintized fp16 version since I have the vram for it, should be using around 16-20GB depending on the context size
curious if there will be any noticeable difference in quality
it's pretty impressive an 8B model is this close to massive 175+B models
Hey yall want to ask have yall work with perforce before? Im thinking of setting it up with a server?, thinking of using digital ocean..
I want to ask? Is there any server host thats price better or work well with perforce?
From my research, azure one looks second best to digital ocean but saw some forum posts that lots of people have trouble setting up perforce with digital ocean and getting P4V server address working to their server
Any advice?
If this not an appropriate channel, let me know π
there's #source-control
I hosted it on digitalocean and if I could set it up anyone can
Hows the morning going people ?
forward
question: what game come to your mind about exploration only? No history or crafting or anything really but explore the world
only exploring idk
no man's sky?
but that does have crafting I think
and a semblance of a story
best exploratoin game is zelda botw, but also has some story
Feather is one, there was other I don't remember in First Person view well acclaimed game from 10 years ago with music around
What remains of edith finch or Dear esther
yes but both have a history there, if you put those then you need to add Journey
Maybe Grow Up/Home and Flower
I will do a list, have to find that music one
...when its a holiday, that of zombie jesus, and instead of sleeping aaaaas long as you like, you are woken up by some fanatics in robes, talking about flat earth and fairies and how nice it is god created israel and how peaceful life there is, with a megaphone and hundreds of dipshit followers, right in front of Your door... it might be that you get slightly irritated and dont like those people...

and yes, Kenshi is rpgy, but its also one of the most sandboxy, unguided worlds ive seen, theres nothing to hold your hand, you just are in the world, sometimes you find a piece of paper telling some background why things are how they are but doesnt matter, you just lost a leg and need to survive the cannibals that are eating it atm and put you in this tiny cage.
i might suggest monkey island for its simply enjoyable world to explore, but you might have to combine a rubberchicken with a cannonball so you can use it to flatten the schnitzel that lets you win the schnitzelcontest so you get a map for treasure which is really just a hint to find Elaine
and you know big whoop is a fart compared to holding elaine in yar whimsicle but piratey arms
That's interesting didn't knew
noted
Ty!
Do tou remember that other first person colorful game from 2010? about listening and exploring?
i didnt play these two btw, dunno how good they are, but i kept em in wishlist for the style and idea, thought its a bit unique and might be cool
the blind person sim? was there one? there prolly was
no, is like a super well claimed indie walking simulator
in 3d FP view with animal that play sounds
rather music
ohh... sounds like it prolly great 4am afterparty chilloutlounge stuff
Will search for it
woha... since they changed airport flight lanes those shitty boeings fly straight over my place.... i dont wanna go donny darko plis... damn....

Has anyone played Infection Free Zone post-release?
might have praised very loud metal music after some weirdos in robes started talking bout fairies and the holy land in front of my place, together with their 100+ followers and police, and with megaphones...
i always told my neighbours that we need a trench...
and ramparts
Yes, for when the zombies come.
wow
You also need an ample supply of assault rifles.

arca69 is best gun
Yes, Ben has finally succumbed to the pressures of sandwiches and adopted that au thing.
No, any gun augmented with AI Arcas is best.

It's because of my divinity.

The snakes probably eat them often.

Ohh, yeah i still play now and then, but mostly bored of it. Need more kegs but need mats... and id rather work on my game...
What game are you making?
Are you using your super-secret, procedural generator?
I dunno for sure. Probably just a dungeon crawler. Struggling to learn GAS right now
Back to work tho π¦
It's your fault, clearly.
Did you make yourself known in thespian ways?
Did you wax eloquent with all the details that were required for your question most curious?

I was on a discord that got nuked because the owner wanted to scrape all the stuff and make a bot or something. Mods deleted everything and the users left a wasteland
Hope it wasn't a useful discord server.

omg yes π©·

Yea, f U Micro$oft! My joy was temporary, finding an way to kick off that Edge shit.
https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/microsoft-edge-protocol-competition.html
.. i am glad to be on a phone i guess?
This is a thing?
I never had an issue with it not using my browser

probably because you are blue like edge
I think this is in Win 11?
In Win 10, I haven't had any problems opening links with Chrome either.
They are forcing the microsoft-edge:// protocol for some stuff. Say the News and Interests on your taskbar.
Apparently there was an app which fixed that and it grabbed the attention of firefox & chrome.
But the latter caused Microsoft to make a patch to kick out that app and force it even harder.
tbh if i was ms i would do the same, not like they have a choice
Ah. The widgets, yes.
the people might be unsatisfied but most won't switch
I'm on win11
the reward to loss ratio looks favorable
What kind of bullshit you are talking about? They were sued few times because they were forcing their browser upon everyone. This is anti-competetive practice.
Oh yeah the weather app opens up in edge and copilot (and maybe Windows store which I don't use)
But that's pretty much it, everything else uses the browser I've set
f Edge, I kinda hate how it launches few processes without closing them after exit too.
hmmm, i mean yeah, for browser on browser competition it seems bad, but if someone was using your OS it feels natural to try to redirect them to your products. even if ms is stopped now, they won't stop. probably to try and make their "ai tools" in browser work more or something
Basically as far as I know, the news and weather widgets, as well as copilot ARE edge embedded into windows
"natural" is to want to hit someone who is stupid, does not mean you should do it.
Can't say about these, I'm not using them. The Weather widget was nice, until it started to pop advertisements.
yeah, if there are no consequences, you'd be more likely infact. exactly what starts happening with monopoly
i am sure they'd try to find loopholes in laws next
You're correct.
The widget container connects to Edge, which in turn gets a lot of stuff from msn.com.
In my case as long as the only thing it's forcing edge for are its own things and not general random stuff, then I don't care about it that much
I would have a problem with it if it tried to force edge for anything trying to open a browser
Awww, joy restored!
https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect/releases
Lol
f u Edge
It's not for lack of trying on their part.
I've had a few notifications that pop up, asking me to switch to Edge 'because it's better and safer'.
It was slightly delayed by the time it took him to post complaints here. π
Yeah I think've seen that too lol
But, the best notification was this gigantic, brochure-style pop-up that appeared without even informing me with a gentle system sound.
I was busy reading page 10,000 something of the book and totally ignored it.
When I eventually saw it, it was a pop-up telling me that Win 10 support will end in 2025. Click more to know to upgrade to Win 11.
So, I did, because why not? The answer: Buy a new PC.
π€£
That thing can even redirect Bing & MSN
Wut dis? π€
Ah, what distro?
I haven't had any problems with Edge, but I've used Chrome for so long that I didn't see why I should use it instead. BUT, I have read almost 11,000 pages in Edge now. π
a sense of accomplishment.
pretty sure you can just set the preferred browser and you're done
probably.
not for the widgets. they are hooked to edge.
people use Windows widgets?
AI uses widgets?
Now, yes.
Although pop-up might be the better term for it? Or side-window?
It's still a widget though, I am pretty sure.
Still is, but you have to be vigilant and prevent Bing/Co-Pilot from changing the town/address to some other place, because the device's GPS reading is wonky to it.
What distro anyway, Debian?
We are mostly Debian/Ubuntu at work. At home - Mint.
Pretty okay, I mean, it could have been Mint say, for that XP experience.
just because you asked.
+Gnome, its okay.
I would say Ubuntu/Mint are the most sane ones π€
Or you start to get too much into IT mode.
I think I have Rabbit installed on a pen drive, just to have a GUI if my Win installation gets borked.
Good choice. Steam?
Nice.
Not suprised here too, lol.
Now, if you tell me that you UE dev under Linux...
As long as they were part of the package management is pretty easy.
Tho many projects are flexible enough to make local installs.
But yeah, posix is pretty cool for development.
i bet this doesn't exist: someone using Bing on Chrome on a Linux
no
pretty much everything using chromium these days...
Chivalry 2's free on EGS.
did you sign in with the widget?
I suppose it matters for what you are using it π€·ββοΈ
There's a sign-in button/link above the dialogue box.
Once you sign-in, you can use it for more than 5 questions.
That's weird. Maybe because you're not on Win.
Once I sign-in, I can use it for more than 5 in the widget, outside of Edge.
It's the taskbar widget.
Like Blue Man said (before), it's probably linking to Edge indirectly.
Join us. Join the Edge.
J O I N U SSSSSSS
π
I've used it for so many things now.
Even with Unreal, it's nice. But, I have to be very specific with my prompts. Even then, it does get things wrong or simply repeats stuff, if the question is too complicated for it.
But, basic UE shit, no problems.
Of course, I always put it on the 'More Precise' setting before I ask UE questions.
I suppose it can be used to give some hints, but I still expect it to spill out factual bullshit.
Especially with how it needs to be kept up to date with the UE messy code.
I think it basically taps into the UE documentation most of the time for its answers.
I have seen other tutorial and website sources being used, but most of the time it's UE docs.
I did give me some nice tutorials for making menus and UI.
But, I think I'll always go by the rule of thumb: Double-check everything.
After Lavender and Daddy, that applies double now.
what
what?
TAHW?
Lords of the Fallen and Humanity released on Game Pass.
Ah, cool. Humanity is basically like Lemmings, but in 3D.
Do not be afraid.
Speak. SPEAK!!!!!
I think whether you are a human-murder person is more important in this case.
what.. were you talking about there
?
Two military AIs that ended up killing several innocent people, because they were wrongly listed as suspected targets by said AIs.
In the interest of being completely fair, the humans in-charge of vetting their output simply rubber stamped their decisions.
ahuh
i understand this
but what does this mean π
It means your doppleganger said the AIs ouput was perfectly fine.
It means it was all your fault.
ah so the people in charge said it's okay
without reading it.
Just like you, actually, now that I think about it.
so i will get punished?!
Yes.
i do read, but not always understand
you know, ben unblocked me ^β’^
I am considering referring Ben for counselling.
no i will take extra care this time
i can do this if i try, i was good in lounge this entire week or two
Raindust and I will consider this gravely and make a decision.
...he will be fine dw
i just don't have to say what i want
it will be easy
he will be fine, believe in him
why don't you trust me π
This isn't about you.
It's about saving Ben.
@trail ore How do we uninstall Ben and reinstall him in a sandbox?
Ben is fine π’
he knows what he is getting into
That''d probably require many municipal permissions.
I've tried deleting the recycle bin to no avail π’
does anyone know any other fun servers
fun is a lie.
any other server with lots of old dudes
probably them geriatric ones.
can you... please use simpler words with me
π΅βπ«
negative.
affirmative.
ah, so people in hospitals
? i don't think they have discord servers there
being in health related servers for old people kinda seems depressing...
Even centennarians probably utilise discord, for some objective, I am sure.
i think they are more likely to use fb and irc or something
if we look at this server, they were forcefully shifted by pfist here from slack
There apparently are centenarians on discord, if google is to be believed.
so i guess there's either
1# plenty on slack
2# they joined slack because of ue
if it is 2# then other hobbies on discord could gather them as well
what is that even!? xD
google is the number 1 liar
but also the best for verification of lies
no, ben unblocked me.
but i do need more servers, i got muted in another a while back
After Ben's fall, probably.
ah, fallout server!
no it would only have children...
