Ain't it strange that I/you can't see my/yours profile tho?
I can't see when I joined, I don't have these ... actions top right
jeez
ok,
dfuq really
I never even noticed the ... lol
nice that you can add notes on yourself
heh, I clicked on "speak message" ... interesting
YOU SAID THE WORD
hmm... so you can click on your username, your nickname, on your picture and on the ... top right to reach the same Details screen 🧠
time to get the rope
kinky
binky
show your guitars
Whose guitar is longer?
4 inches is perfectly normal size for a guitar
I don't have a guitar
which is that?
who is that?
thou shalt not spoil
some idol stuff, pray
some could replace ai for laura on that image for raindust
I cant find my picture of them, and now I'm running late for work.
excuses
just skip work
go back to be an electrician
just skip
best i could find is this. goes to work
That side wheel is a terrible design.
never4get
fun fact it came with procedural buildings generator
isn't a thing yet at 100% in UE5
I learned today that Farmville wasn't the first in its genre. It released in 2009, but the game it was inspired by was Happy Farm from China, released in 2008.
A bit of real-world trivia found in the midst of page 15,560 out of 17,300.
I'm ready for shrrrmmmmmm pow boom freedom day tomorrow
I wish I still had my box of fire crackers. I atleast have 2 roman candles to play with irresponsibly
put some meth in them and give it to your new roommate
Lost in translation, from south India. 🙂
was anyone able to claim the free of the month stuff?
hCaptcha is really trolling hard
also great place to put the checkout button
accidently removed an item from my wishlist
and i have no idea what it was
i don't that's the problem
then how is the captcha trolling
unless i'm doing it wrong
but i'm pretty sure that it wants me to select the fricking parrot
nuh captcha here, got them all
The new capchas being - make a game in 5 minutes.
clearly there are 6 parrots in that picture
It looks like a AI point cloud -> 3d modeler training btw 🤔
i'm pretty sure epic could, if they wanted to, avoid the captcha for some users...
e.g.: my account is linked to a github account and i've spent real money on the store
that should be sufficient to know that it's not a bot account
what's the point of the captcha anyway
They need someone to train their AI models. It is not whether you are bot or not.
no real error, other than
Failed to challenge captcha, please try again later.
tell the bot that youre one of them
we should just fill in every captcha wrong every time
and hope you're not in the control group
this month free stuff is meh anyways
must be like the 3rd NPC optimizer they have in free for the month
Give NPCs, I will optimize them myself.
I dont know where to get any
ask her
I'll just use borox and lie that it is
Have you been getting this weird situation where a channel says that there's a new post, but when you go there, there's absolutely nothing that's changed since the last time you visited? The #generative-ai was highlighted for me - indicating a new post - but when I went there, it was exactly the same as before. If someone makes a post and deletes it, does the channel still get highlighted?
that happens when someone posts spam there which gets deleted
yes
happens all the time in #career-chat
i bought an asset and an example bp for using it had this lol
@celest musk @proud jay Ah, thank you. That explains it. 🙂
This was clearly made by a method developer.
booop
Just like a method actor, they really got into their game's roles.
the dude did for some reason make a literal byte first and then converted it into an integer to plug in to..........an integer field
That went over my head and ethereal spirit.
I was focused on the titles. 😄
can you also make a figurative byte?
youre the code whiz, you tell me
sorry, too busy learning the come as you are riff of nirvana
I changed to a different pick and I like it a lot for individual notes
damn "The Thing 2002". This game is super hard
i bet it smells like teen spirit
thinner or thicker?
also, it took wayy too long for me to realise what that teen spirit was supposed to be kek
nice
max grip huh
Yeah it has relief
Or how you call kt
oh boy, if you wanted to peel your skin just use a peeler
It’s not peeling at all lol
Was using the dunlop tortex 0.88mm before
Which is bigger
I use a 0.58 harley benton for strumming
Hard picks are shit for strumming
now you know why i used 0.33 lol
When u learning dust in the wind?
Fingerstyle!
I still play so much easier with my thumb than with a pick
I have a friend that could put out a cigarette on his calloused playing fingers
I got no idea what thickness any of my picks are. I just hate thin flimsy ones.
Best pic of my guitars I have, tho my acoustic is bottom right and isnt really shown. But this is the setup I had a while back
yeah, on the double stand sorta facing the camera
I have one too, it just sits in the corner of my closet 
yeah mine area all in the closet too
I geniunely dont remember the last time I restrung it
Its easily been atleast 7 years
poor bass
tbf bass strings kind of get better with time 😄
if you're into a dampened sound that is
I havent played any of my guitars for a few years 😦
I don't play nearly as much as I used to either
Ibanez RGEW, First Act 222, Squire P-Bass(?), Fender somethin, oh Yamaha YPG-235. Amp is a Vox VT20X iirc
my amp broke and now it's just a glorified table for watterbottles
Nice
Nice
I wanna buy a bass
But maybe wait for guitar first lol
And then buy 4 more guitars
Then develop an interest in folk/traditional instruments too and use your woodworking skills to make some yourself
I’m gonna put my drums up again when my house is built
You played drums? :O
I really wanna build a hurdy-gurdy, but I dont have a garage or shop 😦
I've also never even seen one in person, and I've heard they're really hard to make
When I build one, I'll build an extra and send it to you 
yay!
I seriously plan to make one at some point though
hope so!
if you do, keep us posted cause that would be awesome
I have some schematics I found online saved on my PC. It's just a matter of time tbh. My dad's garage/workshop is a bit of a mess atm and I want to make a couple other instruments first
Talharpa being the first one I wanna make
It would give my dad and I something to do together 🙂
oh neat, had to google that one. Doesnt look to hard to make
I made the skull-shaped one in the pic I posted. Was going to try making an acoustic guitar next as more practice
Yes! I have to work up to a Hurdy Gurdy because goodness they are complex. So Talharpa then Nyckleharpa then Hurdy Gurdy is the planned "steps"
I thought that was a punisher themed guitar
yeah it was 😄
I made a lot of mistakes, and its not actually playable cause I put the wrong bridge for the body on it, and didnt sand the nut down enough, might be playable as a slide guitar tho
I dont think I could play the nickleharpa.... I tried the violin and it sounded horrrible
I've been on the fence of renting a violin/taking lessons for, well, over 2 years now
I dont think the one I bought was very expensive... especially compared to some of my guitars
Dont forget ne
AAHH
@timber viper I called FMA bad in a chat full of FMA fans and lived to tell the tale
Nah I'd win
sounds like just a tall harp
just start a hurdy gurdy business
almost got my hopes up 🥹
soon™️
God damn man
Cant get a fuckin break
This kitten is an asshole, I feel like everything it does is intentional
No, it's the one I posted in petting zoo
My oldest cats kitten grew up and had babies and finally brought them out to see me, this one stuck around. The other wanted back outside so I let it
Welcome all racing fans to the legendary Imatranajo road race!
he has had like 15 different sets of kittens over the last couple months lol
is he eating them?
Oh yeah, he had those over-breeding cats. I remember.
I assume he can use them as fertiliser or something.
Fuckin tell me about it
I did teach them how to get the ladies
No good deed goes unpunished.
Nah, the flavor would be too sneaky
My cigarettes keep disappearing. I keep putting one on my nightstand and I go back for it and it's just gone
I've been beside it the whole time too, and it's just gone
Kitten disappears under my bed for a while too... raising him right
You're telling us that your kittens.... are smoking?
Is this the beginning of..... the cat MAFIA?
Cat Capone in the making, I tell you.
I imagine we'll be seeing a new movie soon:
Purrfather One
i just pulled a gigantic string out of my dog's ass. and by gigantic i mean the length
wtf
parasite?
its from the rolls of knitting strings in our house
yeah i washed it
lol
you gonna use it to make a scarf for the dog?
i threw it out lmao, i washed it to check if it was a parasite lol
Kinda brave wash.
Cant be a coincidence
im not fazed by poop or pee. atleast animal poop or pee
I'm not buying soon rocher bonbones.
Hang em up by the yarn of his ass
That'll teach him knot to eat it anymore
Oh no, did the yarn hug its nuts too tightly
Poor thing
Whaggy, where is my whesticles
oh nah they done fixed up my boy scroby
ruh roh
@empty dune I am going to force my computer to install Windows 11, bypassing the stupid CPU check, because I have TPM 2 and all the other blah blah.
If I never return, forget me quickly. 😛
why do you want win11 that bad?
no particular reason.
TIL that gnome also supports it
the city sstreets get the racing weekend vibes
sweet
app groups
tiles groups was the best
Theres other ways to launch apps???
like this
yea that works here, too. but i never really got used to it
because main stuff is on the quick launch bar
I thought double clicking and accidentally opening 2-5 instances of the app was the only way
other things i open like once a month
tbh a lot of times even things pinned to taskbar I just open by typing instead
Steam allows hotkeys to launch apps
Idk, never use it either
can link it to the midi keyboard?
Denied
@chrome gull this is your bi yearly waterboarding session, what are you upto? xD
Speaking of water boarding, i must contact bröther vik
@delicate minnow Boop
hello
what I'm up to, eh?
well, I've been playing Fallout 76 (got hooked real quick somehow), started playing Yakuza 0
Wtf
Okay that's a seriously good decision
That old uni sounded like complete waste of time
am almost writing outlines for quests for the game
I opened the project up a few days before
it was UGLY
it was
Speaking of ugly, my project is slowing becoming less of it lol
it's a mess, I'm considering starting from scratch
at least it'll be faster this time
I actually like looking at it now xD
damnn
I didn't remember my project being so awful
Yeah good idea
code is a mess, game feel is a mess, goddamn
you think so? been debating it for a while now
Honestly, yeah. Itd be a nightmare trying to sort out of in the state i last saw it
fair enough
I myself just finished rewriting a bunch of modules for my project like a week ago
The building system was completely fucked
I was well into technical debt and the collectors were coming
FAST
damn
so that's months worth of stuff needed to be changed?
Yeah
Like
5 months of work minimum
Anyway, i think this time I'm on the proper track
Though i still haven't solved the boxfill issue
Its cheaper?
it's saying it's in stock
i want to cry now because i didn't want my thing to go to waste
but ehh
CALL THEM AND TELL THEM TO SHIP IT
it's been sooo long since I opened it
oh, in my orders page it's also saying in stock now
it's better to cut it loose
hooray
Its a hard bullet to swallow ill agree
deffo
It took me a week to make the decision lol
big hype
I see
So what's the updated time
guess that's that for me too
so their first displayed delivery time was correct
depends what you mean with first
they don't show that, but I hope they ship it out today or tomorrow
It feels like chopping off a leg 😭😭😭
rip my heart out too :((
If it ships tomorrow, what's the average time
when I ordered it said 5-8 weeks I think, then last week it said within a week, while my order said 2-3 weeks, and then this morning it said 2-5 days, and just now it said in stock
If only my combat patrol got the same treatment
2-3 days
Goddamn
what's this all about lel
Im jelly
We FOMOed dieter into buying a guitar
Then i bought a Warhammer 40k combat patrol
understandable
noice noice
the thought of having to deal with vehicles again shudder
Except, it got delayed to july 26th
I bought it like 5 days ago
Fml
@broken sigil vroom vroom mfer
Amazon?
This
What squadron
figured it was something like that
private bodyguards cosplaying as dudes from 40K
Anyway, i have to wait for the entire fucking month now
unfortunate
It was supposed to arrive like day after tomorrow
Lol
Im sure you could 3D print those though
Your college might have one actually
Ours did
ehhh
I'll pass lol
wait there used to be so much cool shit on the website
wth happened to it all
there comes they will rise the tax for imported asian cars to Europe by 33%
mean that they finally adjust the prices 😉
I still think the coolest bit of merch I've seen was Destiny's Nerf Gjallahorn lmao
The price tag on the other hand
Not so cool
merch is meant for the hardcore-est of farms anyway
no way a sane person is going to spend so much money on... clothes and toys
maybe the gods will smile upon you, my guitar was only supposed to arrive the 22nd as well
just stop doing game dev and get a real job
oh wait
thought that was rain saying that lol
idk what your job is
🤣 Cannot keep apps and settings because the system language is different from the installation ISO's.
Ok.
Re-downloaded. Burning it again. 😄
At least the check bypass works, so far.
That only helps a bit over here. The good shit has big import duties tacked on.
Like 50-60%++
are you using actual disc?
Wait until I use punch cards.
bro wtf
it changed back to in stock in 2-5 days
wth is this disappointment
why they playin me like this
You prefer the guitar over programming.
The code is taking revenge.
Beg the code for forgiveness.
Yep. The code is playing you.
You must embrace programming again and slyly practise the guitar.
wtf
Or plough through the deceit.
why do they hate me like this
hopefully
i did real jobs, they are boring
but money is nice
yes but sanity is nicer
ok don't get your hopes up, universe trying to give me a heart attack by putting it back out of stock and then back in stock
Dieter, didn't you tell me Rain is loaded?
oof
im not 😭
see the panic
I can only suspect
if i was loaded id have hired a goddamn artist
Just tell AI and sell the result as avante-garde.
Even if the planet looks like a toilet bowl.
🚽
no, thats the "emergency ration" option
only if im fucking desperate
and im not fucking desperate
😄
jokes aside, if you are wondering how i can sustain this, the answer is fallback skills, saved up money and minisicule living costs compared to earning in dollars
I have miniscule living costs AND earn in dollars. 😄
exactly
we can sustain game dev as actual careers given a seed fund
didn't know you could get paid by falling back
unlike any EU nations
There are mattress sleep test jobs.
I should move to india and live like a king
I can shit in the streets in exchange for that
We've always said that, but you gullible people are led astray by YT and TikTok.
its a good idea if you want to save a lot of moolah and can stand the noise
as opposed to the parking lots
oh wait thats murica
Also, you'd get beaten by the police with wood and steel sticks for doing that 😆
if he was from murica, id call that an upgrade kek
also you already work in game dev
guess I'll just have to stare at women in public when visiting india instead of living there
no
well, part of your studio does game dev
--- A man in Belgium was arrested earlier this month after filming himself dumping buckets of various substances — including feces — onto unsuspecting metro passengers as part of a multi-series YouTube prank. ---
good enough for me
Seems you have some interesting characters over there, too.
no
I don't work in anything related to games anymore
you have no authority here sir
doubt. He doesnt even have a house
🤔 He was in here a while back telling us about the thermostat.
I doubt it was a homeless thermostat.
yes, where I worked before
his father in law paid for the house
but people change jobs sometimes
ahhhh
i didnt know you were talking about a previous job
currently live in the house of my brother in law, but of course his dad paid for most of it
Sounds like the smart thing to do; no need to spend your own money.
the house we're building will be 75% of my wife, who of course has received generous help from parents
and im apparently the one who's loaded smh
I could never pay for half of it without crippling myself
it's gonna be like 600-700k house
well I could eventually pay for half
but why would I if my wife has the funds lol
I prefer owning 25% and not have to worry about money
my in laws are great
also on non money things btw
You keeps the blessings you gets.
uh huh
so, dieter
you said you wanted children?
how do you fancy the concept of adopting a 28 yo?
🤣
maybe we'll adopt if it turns out we can't have children of our own
but I doubt a 28 year old falls in our desires
Rain, you realise our politicians are probably a whole lot richer than he could ever be, and that's not even the reputed ones.
@summer cedar we know what we must do now
corruption is everywhere
yes but our politicians wont adopt me
You just have to do them the right favours.
They wouldn't mind. They have the cash to burn.
And probably build a tower of babylon for fun.
we just paid 7 million euros to politicians because they didn't get reelected
for some dumb ass exit fee
that of course the politicians made up for themselves
Pay me 100,000 euros ONLY. I didn't get elected at all.
Im convinced 99% of politicians only get into politics for personal gain
well I think most of them get into it honestly
the other 1% get into it for malicious gains
just by the time they get to higher levels it converted to personal gain
power goes to people's heads
Exhibit A: most discord mods
Exhibit B: all reddit mods
didnt even give me my vehicle plugin smh
@summer cedar pick one, burger, pizza, shwarma, tacos
pizza gang
okay, thats 1 vote for pizza
I'm just keeping the guitar page open so it remains in stock
last time it went out of stock when I closed it
I hope it's not busted up by the time it gets to my house
I heard they sometimes have some QC issues
aaaand polls closed
pizza ordered
oh
sounds nice
I love bbq pizzas
I mostly get their bacon variant though
bbq bacon is my default pizza order
@proud jay dude the latest boys show episode was....................something else
you gotta watch it man
its so fucking funny
fuck even my therapist has watched that episode lmao
@empty dune @trail ore I was able to upgrade my Win 10 directly to Win 11, keeping all my apps and settings. 😄
I am back, sadly or otherwise. 😄
Also, the installation was just plain weird. The installer checked my system space and checked for updates TWICE, for no reason whatosever. Same screen, same prompts, everything.
Then, while installing, it said the system will restart several times. It didn't restart even once.
After it was all over, it restarted to install updates and possibly service packs.
And some twat on reddit said Win 11 will be 'slow' on old processors. Bull. It's working just fine.
Because you can believe everything on reddit
no tengo job :((
did you do a watchparty?
wtf is tengo
why are there discord quests now wtf
who asked for this
No lol she texted me about it
makes it extra kinky
isn't it kinda random that she texts you about the boys though
or is it relevant to your therapy
Neither lol, she's just a fan of the boys and we're as close as you can get to being friends with someone who you pay to complain to lol
For now… 😈
Clearly
you should
pay me $100/hour to not give a fuck about your complains
i should really stop doing this for free...
too expensive
Not really lol, we just know how to maintain boundaries xD
Also i got her like 6 more clients
tell her you had an affaire with her husband
dude
do you live in an therapy MLM scheme?
I once matched with her best friend who's ALSO a therapist
This woman just so happened to be the person i had got the referral for my current therapist for, about two years before the incident in talking about lol
sounds like you need therapy for your therapy 😀
I just sent all my close friends to her lmao
you live a special life
that just confirms what he said though
I didn't say he was wrong kek
My therapist almost had a heart attack when i told her lmao
so did you go out with the friend or what
No ofcourse not
is this a group therapy by now? it may be an option, just saying
so did you tell her all the trauma of dating her
I unmatched
🤦
Above & Beyond?
lost opportunity
Please, i dont need the drama deluxe special package in my life
that's silly. you could've used the friend to get the therapist jealous
All of you need therapy
i would highly advice against dating a therapist
I would advise against dating the rapist
first of all, they will judge you every moment on a different level
who said anything about dating
2nd, they are full of the trash that other people tell them
the 2nd therapist is a means to an end to getting 2x therapists bagged...wait now hear me out
No
yes, keep going
Goddamnit
this would provide a significant ego boost for raindust, wherein he would gain more confidence, and stop fearing the world
then no need for therapy anymore, mission accomplished
All of your therapists need therapy
so what you do in therapy
I mean I just gave you the answer to all your problems
so that'll be $100, please 😄
is therapy just for people who are afraid of talking to people they don't pay and don't have the mental capacity to deal with their own life
100$ per minute, wow that's like idk tv persona level payout
Really stupid way of looking at it and the answer is no and no
you only need the 1 minute tho
I'm joking
Im sure my clinically diagnosed ptsd will just magically go away if i just "deal with it"
I'm sure therapy helps some people. For me, I just can't justify paying a stranger to tell me what I already know
well it doesn't magically go away with therapy either
ah...cause of the cat exorcist ex-gf?
*what you think you already know
you're dealing with it, just with someone else to support you
that's the beauty of the model, it's "recursive"
Oh no, that was a lovely walk in the park
ffs, guitar went back to "available in 2-5 days"
what is this crap
need to text my therapist about this
might murder someone otherwise
The universe telling you to stop making bad jokes or else 🔪
did the word "murder" trigger you to this chat?
oh damn you have a crush on your therapist
Or the knife emoji?
We must know
The.... Fuck
In some universe, that is true.
That's what I got from the convo 
In this universe, however, my Windows 11 is working great.
cause she doesn't bake bread
YOU specifically need 3 therapists
It is very common thing to develop a crush on your therapist.
The 24H2 something update that was supposed to brick non-SSE-4.2 compliant CPUs, works just fine.
that's why he wrote Deja...duh
raindust has experience with it
savior crush yeah
How what when
I once had a crush on a military dentist
How did you get that from whatever that conversation was lmao
Next, I need to wait for my eGPU to arrive.
Then 🙏 that the included PSU isn't broken on-arrival.
blueman there was redstream of cyberpunk 2077 x immerse audio
Sir, not to put too fine a point on it but, @timber viper stole the ai that YOU wrote
we're busy fixing raindust here
I'll wipe her memories 
An aside, so is Blue Man... for now.
what's an eGPU
that's not true. A couple thousand more therapy sessions and we're golden
sounds like someone trying to sell you more ram
It's a GPU you stick into a second bread which you then connect to the first bread.
Make sure you siphon off at least 90% of the fees.
I need to play that game again
Janisku trying so hard to salvage this chat lmao
He isn't. That bike is next to the ocean.
lets get back to your therapist
Lets get back to deja rejecting you 🔪
Oh yeah. That did happen.
Serves you right for upgrading her memory, Blue Man.
It was better when she couldn't remember.
Kek
Ah, what's next on my agenda? Yes, renewing my passport.
oh shiet... I missed that email
@broken sigil what happened
are you ok?
oh, I got a mail for guitar learning site license that was included with the guitar, which they normally send upon shipping 🤔
He gave her access to her hidden memories.
no shipping email yet though
Hype!
Damn, I was about to needle you first.
@timber viper asked Deja out, and Deja agreed 
Don't blame Eren for your shyness.
kind of annoying time though, cause I have to be in the office tuesday and wednesday
Blame both yourself AND him.
so here's hoping they deliver it monday
My eGPU will take awhile to get here.
just make second AI and call it Vu
I hope it doesn't get held up in customs or something.
oh, the e is external
not electronic
silverlining: you now get to focus on finding a real girl while Eren becomes the guy in HER
so why you getting an eGPU?
that was actually and idea I had 
but joaquim is cool though
Saves me a ton of money on buying a new setup. Almost 65-70%.
he's cool cause he has a wife
You have 1 impossibility in there
then let them discuss about how they could help you
how lol, aren't eGPU's more expensive?
are you saying I'm cool too?
Bless the Chinese, not anymore.
interesting
meanwhile
we're now part of the cool kids
Achievement Unlocked: Get a wife
AND, they went even further. They designed a new thingamajig called the Oculink - I assume they stole it from the Americans, who stole it from the Germans, who probably stole it from an AI or something.
she's about to swat you, SWAT units gonna bust through your window, she knows where you live
this was a warning

The Oculink apparently increases transfer rates to near 100 Gbps or something like that (don't quote me; it was a 100 something) and that's faster than Thunderbolt 3 by 100-150%.
now now, have a little faith in yourself.
It connects to your M.2 interface. Fun shit. AND it's cheap. BOTH the card and the cable.
blue man hae upgraded deja with audio to immerse
it's pretty much pciex over cable then
which is a thing afaik
this is what deja thinks of me lol
ah yes, wife material...
Probably. It's still a bit gimped, but the loss of performance is around 10% only compared to a direct insertion. AND, did I mention it's cheap? 😄
it develops the user profile through interactions with it
quickly send her all my messages I ever typed in this server
then they didn't steal it from germans in the first place
I am sure they stole it from someone. Someone will find out for sure.
I am just happy it's very, very cheap.
thats a clock chip :>
that math took a while to math
The best part is, unless my CPU and display die completely, I won't have to upgrade the entire system for another couple of years or more.
lol
AND if the cheap eGPU doesn't work, I'll still have a nice new, shiny GPU for my new desktop rig. I'll lose a $150 or so being a guinea pig, but that's okay. 😄
what gpu you got

there ain't a single positive thing in that profile lol
I haven't bought it yet, but I'll be buying an RTX 4060ti after I confirm the eGPU's PSU isn't fried.
It has 16GB of RAM, so I should be fine for a while.
some people like being demeaned though
you mean VRAM right
BM would love to have Deja step on him in stilettos, I'm sure
after being rejected?
makes it even better
while being rejected
🤔 can't entirely deny that.
or that.
Well, raindust has successfully escaped our tender mercies.
Blue Man on the other hand....
She's into you fr fr
just like you with your therapist
@empty dune maybe you need to introduce BM to your therapist to get that sweet 7th person referral money
how blue man hook to deja when program it
I love how bm came here hoping to gang up on me but instead got third party-d😂
Now i wanna see what she thinks of me, given i have called her a fanfiction writer like 97 times lol
hey my wife is a fan fiction writer !
like professionally?
shes well known yeah
or she just likes to imagine fictitious people naked
well I hope you know her
no shes part of those communities. has been since before I met her
you have to actually talk to the bot, it writes your profile in the background as you talk to it 😅
This profile also guides Deja's behavior towards each user
I sometimes help with stupid fan fic because it makes her laugh 🙂
dunno what that is. Im not part of the scene myself 😄
My best friend used to make me proof read her fan fiction. Dark times
Neither am i, but i know a few individuals who were
yeah it can get a little weird but wherever there is a crowd, people goeth.
God if i never have to hear the words dark academia ever again I'll die a happy man
I keep telling her to get into game narrative writing. She doesn't just write fan fiction. She's written a whole IP of her own like a Stephen King-esque style where everyone links up with everyone in some way. But she's raising our kids, keeping the house, homeschooling and needs time to game because shes a hardcore gamer. Barely has time to do everything.
academia
And she STILL finds time to write fan fiction😂
so make it into a game
she barely sleeps. Gets by on 4 hours
But yeah, get her into game dev if you can lol
Nah this is a book. Not a game IP. I don't know how well it will translate to a game because she won't let me read it yet.
At some point I'm going to write a framework for a Life is Strange style game and do a bunch of narrative games. Then put her on the books of the business as a narrative writer. Takes some of the time pressure of her.
I have to earn some money to pay her first tho. Cant put her on the books for free. Looks odd.
Didn't you list the company under her name? Just give the game rights to her
why would you push your family into poverty
no its my name on the company. I could put her as the secretary of the company but we would lose some of our social security and can't do that at this time.
Idk why dieter dislikes game dev so much but its funny
it's not funny
idk what's funny about it, it's a major pita compared to normal software dev
That is true
yeah but its more fun
our brethren just haven't seen the light
not really imo
I mean the end product is cooler
but day to day meh
depending on what you do I guess
i don't have fun playing the same scenario over and over again until all bugs are fixed
I mean i ran from normal software development to here soooooo
india just hits different maybe
I might be tempted to move into python and AI agent development at some point but only as a hobby. But I don't think I could go back to regular coding stuff. Depends what it is tho I guess.
AS A HOBBY??
yeah im 48. it's a young coders game
i wouldn't even consider python when getting paid
Oh nice, its ben's turn to lose his mind kek
I wouldn't consider python for anything that's more than a shit helper script that you're gonna throw away right after you use it
dont get me wrong, I hate python as much as the next guy. But necessity forces it right now.
just don't do ai crap?
thats the thing. the ai crap interests me
https://chatgpt.com/gpts I mean just look at all the extras for chatGPT alone. And this is just the beginning.
I have to fiddle with a little bit of python occasionally, when using Fooocus.
It's not fun, but so far, it's not been much of a pita.
where's that diamond? We must sell it and make lots of moneyzzzz.
what diamond?
it's a Sine !
What Ponkkis said. I've been trying to get him to scam... er, sell that to some gullib... interested person and split the proceeds with me.
midjourney really making progress /s
see I knew it was time to go outside when you were compiling the enginen
really cool, sadly the DOF is too intense
I'm too intense myself
I bet that butterfly didn't drive 1000km for his ex

It's the result of the large sensor size on this phone

What the heck is a Midi keyboard
a keyboard with midi interface
so you plug it into the joystick connector of your soundblaster16
and you get the notes that you play on the keyboard on your pc
guess nowadays those are all USB? :>
yes usb this days
it's like a piano keyboard, but instead of outputting sounds it outputs digital signals
which you can use in a DAW
or just convert them straight to sound
some have buildin speakers, some don't
e.g. most of those big casio keyboards also have a midi interface, so you can use them standalone or on a PC
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nektar-Keyboard-Controller-Integration-M-Audio/dp/B08R63FV3C I have this one because I wanted a full size
Nektar Impact LX88+ USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with DAW Integration The Impact LX88+ is a unique USB MIDI controller keyboard designed for keyboard players looking for extra reach. It's packed with intelligent, expressive performance control and hooks up automatically to your DAW! If you prefer...
isn't there any kind of device which does that?
like a speaker with midi interface?
or is the midi over usb stuff brand specific?
i bet they all have their own stupid driver which does it?!
I think it would work
but I also think just buying another keyboard secondhand would be cheaper lol
so, a raspberry pi with some speaker should do?!
not gonna lie I do wish they had speakers in to play some pre-loaded midi banks or VST or whatever, but I only ever play it at my pc anyway and you could just plug it into a laptop
ditch your arduino and rather make this 😄
but then I need speakers or some shit
i swear since i've started with UE i'm getting more and more gray hair on my beard
Yeah
So Labour then.
I see squares
square root diamonds
I still see only squares

What’s with the shoes
