I saw this before lol, I don't think she's gonna be entering many homes at all
saw pcmag post about this https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/netflix-windows-11-wont-support-offline-viewing
who cares
haven't had netflix since the first time they increased prices on me lol 🏴☠️
seems tehy keep on lowering quality of the service
We got rid of it for a while but now it’s $6 with ads so I got it to keep my wife entertained while I game/code
why are you paying to get ads though
streaming services seems have with ads then more price with no ads
Cause I don’t want to pay $25 or w/e it is without
Both Netflix and Prime are doing something like this now, ig all those cloud storage costs are more than they anticipated
pretty sure they're just greedy c*nts
For sure. But can you put a price on tranquility to work on your projects love?
I keep my wife busy with the disney+ I stole off my brother
and stuff on my home server
Well we used to have Netflix for free from her parents
But then they got tricked by their ISP into getting it as an add-on, which didn’t allow multi-user anymore
We could’ve told them that but they never asked
big sad
what's the point of having it through your ISP instead of just through netflix though
Yep. So now I’m paying…for ads
They bundle it with other streaming services so it’s cheaper
But ofc there’s the major catch
what ISP i use cant even get netflix only but as a bundle
Having worked for those cunts -as Ben would say it, I know they hide all the important details
here we have ISP that also offer netflix, but it's just the same price, the only difference is that you can use the same remote or something lol
telia play have it here in the digibox the mtv katsomo and netflix buttons so those are also a bundle too
Yeah. This ISP used to have a TV box, then a smaller box, now it’s just an app. And it’s been gradually getting shittier, good thing we don’t actually watch “cable” tv tho
the sport i see live is this one the parade https://www.instagram.com/p/C9AiYw5tkGU/?img_index=1
neo the telia used to had TV box now its play box as it first was just get bought some setup box then they own still branded as telia tv the look came to as hockey puck now it is just more square flat box as setup box as the brand for the isp offering changed from TV to Play
It would be really nice if you took some english lessons
It's the interneZ. He should just specialise in gestures.
What are the best psychology games?
getting a crazy girlfriend
oh no
Best in terms of sickness or in general?
idk really, thinking of In Sound Mind?
Never heard of that one till now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1119980/In_Sound_Mind/
As you awake in the corridors of an inexplicable building, you find the environment takes on a life of its own and leads you to discover a series of victims, all exposed to the same experimental chemical. In your search for answers, bizarre visions emerge and introduce a host of imposing horrors…and a cat named Tonia.From the creators of the cul...

But it looks like a Psy + Horror
In that sense, maybe uuh... that one with the teddy bears 🤔
which one?
heavy recommended
poppy playtime?
FNAF?
but those are horror, no psychology about games
not talking about psychological horror*
No horror? You know mind sickness is kinda horror on its own.
Darkest Dungeon? 🤔
This time, we sit down with our friend from Embody, Ira Bolden, the CMO and Colin Walder - our Engineering Director, Management and Audio, to discuss the audio experience of the Immerse Gamepack for Cyberpunk 2077.

someone should make lightest dungeon too
Seems like an interactive history, but noted, kinda could be it
Ah, I have one. I heard good stuff about it:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1092790/Inscryption/
Just found the link.
From the creator of Pony Island and The Hex comes the latest mind melting, self-destructing love letter to video games. Inscryption is an inky black card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie.

so this gamea I pointed out give at the end some psychology lesson or showcase different mental illness cases
you can learn from or so
There are others like Soma for example where everything is a lie so up to some extend is psychological game
It has 100k reviews with 96% 👍
yeah a friend told me about this one, but those aren't what I asked for I think
what remains of edith finch?
Actually "Valley" is up to an extend another physiological game
firewatch maybe?
yeah that one is kinda
and firewatch if I remember correctly too
Dear Esther?
didn't knew about those
Nobody knew.

@empty dune we got female primearchs and Cholorks before gta 6
@summer cedar your bread is ready for pick up
This looks like my veggie cheese I just took out from the refrigerator.
Where lol
Why does this look like a slab of meteorite?
like in its normal state?
I forgot I had bread in there lol
it's been there for like almost 2 weeks I think
See? Pompeii bread
Kinda like this one, just got a bit of spores on top which I removed patiently.
Im really dissatisfied with my progress for the last couple weeks and the more i grow dissatisfied the slower my progress gets
Its like being perpetually exhausted and in a panic attack at the same time lol
i.e. you are burning out?
maybe
maybe just don't work on it for a few days
i have been missing ALL my deadlines and goals for the last few weeks
help other people with their projects for a bit, it might help give you ideas and motivation
at least you have something to talk to the therapist about now
hmm, i would like to but i dont think i can afford that
but you's not living of the game dev are you?
Right? Right?!
im burning savings man, i can take a chill pill but id like to also not empty the bank account by the time i push this game out the door lol
but if you take a day off and are more productive because of it, it's actually profit
ngl, I don't know the details, but sounds like good recipe for drowning.
in any other country, yeah, youre right
im however in an......unique situation
true
you're putting pressure on yourself
which makes it probably even more stressfull
and what do you do if the game is out
cause let's be honest, it might not make a living either
oh its not, i fully expect it to flop. what i do plan to do however is try and attract more funding than i have currently. I can only go so far based on concept and prototypes but a launched game makes my position so much stronger. Plus the savings im talking about? It was amassed in 2 years.
which is why i am confident i can just go back to boring jobs as a fallback if this fails
and try again in a few years if the worst happens
eh, who cares, orks are supposed to be funni green men go pew pew
who cares if they are mexican
strange question, do you work on your game in the weekends?
i work everyday, non stop. even during eating i am doing minor tasks
yeeeeah
Living, I did that 24/7. Biggest contributor to me being so fucked up
but yeah, maybe i should slow down a bit
Im not a streamoholic
since you don't have an actual job
I would say treat it as a job
you can work a bit longer since it's for yourself
but take some chill hours at night
and don't work in weekends
or at least not regularly
but that's just my opinion
Touching grass and getting a gf helps here, they distract.
Dont get a gf
get a boyfriends instead
Get a gf who touches grass
Get a grass which touches gf
Grass friend
Grass fed friend
grass are friends, not food
I wish I had 2 more stomachs so I could eat grass
Cows have 3
why are you trying to be a cow

@proud jay fun fact, indian gov has been trying to grow a domestic video game industry for a few years now. they provide a considerable amount of moolah but only if you have launched atleast 1 game and have atleast 75% of your staff be indian citizen
its a pretty good deal and ive been trying to hit their deadlines lol
1/1 > 75%
So, you are like 1 person, so this is 75%+
its called cash cow for a reason
I make heaps of cash off cows
but do they count guitars as people
what do they consider a game
cause you could release tic tac toe and it's a released game
my guitar was made in india, so im still safe
there are some restrictions, such as a revenue threshold, a minimum user count etc
so they're making the rich richer smh
they mainly are pivoted towards mobile gaming
the restrictions are not THAT high
Mobile gaming, my favorite
Moobile gaming 🤠
400 games and all of them are literally the same
Just make a fake gameplay video, vertical slice done
ah yes the day before strategy
funny thing, on one hand they were doing this game dev shit, on another a random minister went public and said they were looking to ban steam in india lol
it was pretty funny in hindsight but at that moment i was shit scared
its like they dont talk to each other or something
and then there was the livestream our prime minister did of him playing games from indian studios
@summer cedar did you see that? it was hilarious
Is that game banned in native america
thumbnail seems ai generated too 👍
@empty dune where ship?
some ui work, needed a break from too much thinking
is midjourney your resident artist
maybe you should play some guitar to relax 👀
nope, its
shader meth
ah, collab with Ambulance's new roommate
I remember ring selection
I had to fix that crap for shootas blood and teef
it was broken as shit that they took it from their previous game
lol
so yes, copious amounts of shader meth

1/3 Apple has rejected our Epic Games Store notarization submission twice now, claiming the design and position of Epic’s “Install” button is too similar to Apple's "Get" button and that our "In-app purchases" label is too similar to the App Store's "In-App Purchases" label.
we cant have buttons looking the same now can we, that would go against the dark patterns we have people trained on
xD
somehow it's good, while at the same time it's not, but without being in the uncanny valley

I has a question... So I'm making a kindof dungeon crawler, procedurally generated maps, random loot drops with rarity and possibly modifiers. sorta thinking about it having some rogue-like aspects to it... But I'm having trouble deciding on the control/UI system. Currently, you have a primary weapon you equip in the equipment/character screen, and then a hotbar of 4 slots that you would equip abilities or consumables, that you select first then right mouse button to use. Left mouse uses the primary weapon. But it doesnt feel right when I play it, right now I've only got a gun as a weapon but want to add melee (have a hard time making the anims for that)
Wondering if I should switch to having all weapons/abilities etc on the hotbar, so you can switch during play, and then left mouse does primary attack, and having a secondary attack or a block with the right mouse (on applicable items)
or something else?
with a gun, and I run out of ammo I'd have to go into inventory screen and swap weapons there. Tho if I go melee, there'd be no ammo so I wouldnt have to worry about running out, and then the hotbar could be just an activation thing hitting the number keys
Most games seems to have melee on keyboard.
I mean, action + gun games.
Check how they are done?
e.g. Mass Defect.
what about a primary / secondary weapon slot (ranged / melee) and a hotkey to swap between them (if your melee isn't just a shove / hit with gun)
Hmm thats a good idea. Then its still kindof a "loadout" that you sortof have to plan ahead with
yyep
and then I'll make the hotbar activation based instead of select then use
I'd look to dota for some inspiration there, they have a ton of different options for activating items
as in: pressing 1,2,3,4 activates a selection mode (meaning preview AoE, vector targeting, etc) left click triggers the ability / item / consumable
or 1,2,3,4 quick cast on key down: activate ability when key is down without having to left click
or quick cast on key up: enter selection mode, activate ability when key is released
personally I really like quick cast on key up, feels like it's best of both worlds: you get to correct your aim a bit but it feels faster than having to left click to confirm
dota, lol, diablo, lots of examples of that. Path of exile too. And diablo and path of exile both support controllers.
But these have no shooting mechanic so much?
sure they do. Demon Hunter in diablo, Ranger in poe
I mean, guns. 🔫
is hard for me to pull from those games cause I dont actually play them
this is why gaming is a vital part of game dev. Thats my excuse if anyone asks why im playing Path of Exile anyway 😄
but activate on key up could be good, if I can think of attacks that might require course correction
Since you has question, I tries suggestions.
- Assuming you have four skills to choose from, assign them to Q, E, Z, and C, the four keys diagonally situated from W, S, A, and D.
- As you require, you can choose the skill and unleash it with the right-mouse button.
It might feel more natural this way.
Allow the player to remap keys, of course.
thats one of the issues I'm having atm, I dont actually have any skills yet... I always suck at thinking them up and designing stuff like that
rule 1 of any control system IN MY OPINION ONLY TM, everything should be rebindable.
Keep in mind that gamers use mice with many teeth... er, buttons these days.
Gamers with BIGGGG egos use mice with extra teeth, er.... even more buttons.
So, remap is a good thing.
go download dota, demo the heroes and get some inspiration 😄
being able rebind your keys should just be a default for 90% of games
diablo 4 is free on game pass isnt it?
Sorry, I thought you were asking us about the keybinds. Do you want ideas for skills?
HAI! 👍
I mean if it's about the special abilities shooting mechanics aren't really necessary
I'm not 100% sure guns will stay in my game, it was just an easy thing to test for damaging things
also dota is GOAT (plus it's free)
If you consider it better than D2...
4 no. 3 was close
It's free whether you like D2 or not on Game Pass.
not right now, I need to switch the other things first, it'll take me a while to do
If you are allowing skill priming, then having guns is a VERY good idea.
Consider Ice Bullet, with a chance to freeze your enemy.
skill priming?
you can always watch gameplay videos to get an idea
oh
Prime the skill - press skill key - then unleash - right mouse.
Whatever the case, an example should be chosen from games which most closely resemble the style.
Generation of dungeons, guns and abilities.
Consider Stun Bullet - from King's Avatar.
Slow Bullet, so many different possible bullets.
Dance of Bullets - Spray 'n Pray.
PoE has a good range of control types for different skills. There are straight up shooting with aim assist, a direct aim, channelling abilities, turret/totem abilities, template abilities. And they all have a mobile control system adapted so it's transferrable to controller really easily.
Ok thanks guys, I've got enough to develop some foreward momentum again 🙂
And is free.
indeed
No ShitPass.
No, you only believe you do.
You are a dev; prone to laziness.
and distractions!
I had a ui crisis pretty recently too lol
Redesigned the entire input system
Hence the shader meth
I have a great dig involving psychology right here, but I will refrain from using it. 😄
Can't; it's about something we were discussing last night.
Remember? 😛
It'd be at your expense.

yay pizza distractions!
toppings?
double pepperoni!
plenty of glue in the cheese I hope?
I hope too
looks more like soup hell ngl
yeah it looks like soup than pizzas
liquid pizza maybe?
Can I select the pepperoni with the Q key and shoot it with the right-mouse button?
no

i have some NSFW meme which your therapist might like raindust

Since it involves therapy, it might be SFW.

Absolutely way too late after seeing it 😅
There is not a cm of my skin that isn't fried and now I have a headache and feel sick
Yay
you probably should have atleast worn some pants
ye ye, try to hide it
So hows doing the travel to Italy?
don't stay at the sun much time at the first man
Sun screen exists
that don't save you from the headache from excess
Still stops you from getting cooked by UVs
Headaches are so much better to deal with than huge chunks of sun burn

Was a long drive there and back
Yep, realized that way too late lol
I decided to put it on when it was already way too late

A traditional thermos flask has been a staple in Finnish households since 1934. The promise of keeping the hot hot and the cold cold still holds true to this day. The look of the thermos has remained virtually unchanced for decades. The shell of the red thermos is made of metal and plastic and the interior bottle is made of glass.
Unchanced
@trail ore what the dog doin
Fr tho these mobile game ads are unhinged as hell
Rain dust will be making these types of games soon
wtf. On my main hud widget, its saying on my player character variable the hotbar only has 4 slots. On my player character, I have 5
and its not triggering the breakpoint

I'm trying to find a cool way to generate a vec and just use a single random
tried to catch the winner of the race in pic but the timing wasnt right thanks to cam on phone
Just Affinity Photo.
how you like it?
VRand uses x3 rand calls
rand is probably lighter weight than any alternative youre thinking of tbh 😛
oh wait
yeah youre calling it 3 times too 😛
you need to cache output of pure function after evaluation
yeah fixed
youre still only random in a limited number of dimensions since it'll sort of fix your quadrants based on the number generated
technically the only limitation is those cannot be negative
and the first one min 0.1
actually can be negative
is there a reason you didnt just use vrand?
there is a switch on the procedural gen using a stream, once switch uses a single stream random call float, means that the whole generation result is different as get x2 calls less each gen
I was forcing to call another 2 random numbers but, trying to see if can do it other way
you got enough type conversion and operators here it might just be faster esp since vrand is pure and this is BP

There's no default control rig for the first person arms, found one to buy but.. meeehhh... And animating the 3rd person rig, then transferring to first person never looks right
atleast, I've had no luck
just make a rig. it's like lego simple dude

is task manager right to indicate that a game is 32bits?
if it's 32 bit yeah
any game made for DX12
it's possible
most games made for PS4 and Windows Vista onwards do not support 32bits and less than 4GB of RAM. Yet task manager says it's 32bits. Is this right?
@trail ore you are doing boxes, whats the best way to get the size of a box in given direction or between two vector points ? 
depends what the points are...
I know the box extend and origin or in its alt the min and max.
Aside from the box info got two points in space to check the actual intersected distance I need or a normal dir to know just the size closer to an axis x/y/z
What I actually need is to get thr bounding box size at given direction
need to calculate the space in between models using their bounding box size in the given direction I need it
actually no, the idea is to get the size of a single bounding box in some given direction from center
tomorrow can give an example
maybe the best idea is just transform the bounding box from local to the space I need
thing is how you transform the direction you will check the size and the direction in the bounding

does someone by chance have this installed?
I think I had that one or another from that creator once, why?
i want the original map file to make some before screenshots xD
spent 2 days to make a fricking "outside"
as the original was a mess
no luck then, well you can make another project
i don't have it in the vault 😦
it's not super important either
it's a kinda nice pack, but so many flaws and the missing outside....
sounds like it
but tbh getting the closer x/y/z size that's closer to given vector can work
guess it's good now
wish i had some before screenshots
with the exposed concrete "garage", etc. xD
Am doing a dum optimization and gotta move everything from one class to another and I'm annoyed
Copy Pasting everything and then fixing all references 
Shouldn’t there be a driveway in front of that garage ?
Air car, probably. Doesn't need a driveway.
I bet the wall inside that garage is a broken mess, what with the car crashing into it on landing.
Did some zombie crawled out of that window toward the garage door?
ngl, that house needs a soap
I think it needs a foundation before the soap 😛
I like the rustic door tho.
I did nothing for the last two days except play wasteland 3 lol
Break's over, time to work
@chrome gull play wasteland series games, they were what inspired the fallout series
@summer cedar what you playing now
This was my character background lmao
Elden Ring, Robin Hood: Sherwood Builders, and Cosmoteer.
I am also helping Cosmic Strike: The Last Sub-Sector's dev quality test his game.
Hogwarts is on sale but recent reviews say last update made it unplayable
I have Hogwarts. I liked it, but I haven't played much past the beginning.
SO MANY things to do. 😄
In your game?
no, wasteland 3
i took a couple days break
I took the day off from work today so I put in a lot of hours into my game but now I need a break
Breaks are important. Rest well. 🙂
and I'm hitting the hard limits of Manor Lords' early access
I mean a game to play
still important to take breaks
I wonder if @empty dune will release his ship game before @timber viper releases bp2Cpp 😛
I am watching Galactic Civilizations IV on Pravus's channel.
Or before @broken sigil releases his vehicle plugin kek
idk, every thing I'm looking at on Steam looks either too boring or not worth the price, even with sale on
can't even bring myself to get one of the featured demos, it's all meh 🥲
I will win the race by simply streaming this week 😛
we all carry our burdens lmao
I have less hate viewers than the acolyte so I consider that winning 😅
I approve this message, I'd gift you a sub but I'm not in that streaming scene
i havent even watched mandalorian season 3 lol, forget acolyte
i used to hope that they'd make a revan series
now, disney better not touch revan 🔪
Im looking forward to the gender swapped Robin Hood or King Arthur
Id love to see Maid Marian as a bloke in drag, that could be alot of fun
itd be funny if they gender swapped revan even though the game allowed it. cause of the massive lore changes him just being female would bring lol (cant have kids with bastilla can you now)
its a 20+ year old game, just play it ffs
KOTOR, Mass effect and Dragon age was so good even their creators suck compared to them lol
I found the first one boring, loved the first trilogy for the 2nd one, Andromeda was meh, Dragon Age was also good for a while
@brittle holly Did you play Warcana?
no, I can't really digest those graphics anymore except for a few rare exceptions
for the first, did you get to the Plot Twist (TM)?
I don't think so, but I honestly can't rmbr
cause i saw that coming but goddamn it was still epic
yeah, it gets better all the way until the end of the 3rd
It cant be as bad as the Halo twist 😛
oh this was a good twist
did they have to come up with alternate endings for Halo ?
like one of the most legendary twists in gaming history lol
lmg, you're a Sith
youre revan
Master Sith
your dad is Darth... oh wait that's done
k TF2 downloaded in 5 mins so here goes nothing
and they told you that you were revan right at the start of the game. but i can guarantee you heard all those dialogues and still missed the connection until the second half of the game lol
So basically the Sixth Sense
whats sixth sense
A movie
its like the 5th element
Uhh… why is it still searching for data centers
cheese?
Christ I had to add an environment variable to fix this data center search issue, never done that before for a game to work lol. Not sure how online connections are related to the cpu but sure
youve proved youre human now
or has he?
hey there vsauce michael here
say potator
Potator
Today we are gonna find out about the turing test!
Which one
Vivisection
Took too long find a game so I uninstalled 😬
wow youre impatient lol
perks of having fast internet i guess
I mean I can times that by each match I would play in my head
Was gonna try Apex but recent reviews indicate EA pretty much abandoned it so it’s unplayable now
for me installing and uninstalling is a full commitment
EA abandoning a game... never
guess which game they didnt abandon
A few weeks ago I redownloaded a game I used to love. Spent a few mins, and noped out, uninstalled. Next day I was like, maybe I was too trigger-happy. Tried again, after 5 mins I was like nope I can’t do this lol
Def losing patience with age
yeah thats right, this thing is on pc now lol
that's why I play like 1 game per year...they have to be really good or I just can't do it
no game this year yet
thats the card game isnt it?
no, thats different
I thought you got cards then played them in some jrpg thing
this one is the uh, how do you describe it
I played abit of it on my phone until I hit the paywall
you get characters and you can put them in teams and fight in turn based combat
so like 2 min into the game
these are games I used to play hours and hours
same with Warframe, couldn't do it again man
they do it in NFS on mobile too, each card is built using shards
trying Ghost Recon Breakpoint again, see if I can handle the multiplayer
I didn't much like the campaign
Wildlands was much better imo
despite the Punisher being in the former
yeah i tried nfs on mobile, quickly noped out
this game has admittedly gotten much more friendly over the years, i had quit for almost 4 years but recently came back
like a couple months ago
any game which requires you to login on specific days to get those rewards can go straight in the trash
nfs unbound was fun but they were like these folk that come in here and say "I'll just add multiplayer after"
and some really atrocious graphical bugs tied to DX12 made it unplayable after one patch I think
unbound just needed to have that art style consistently applied to the whole game
yeah, i cant be fucked logging in every day. though there was a time i used to do that, religiously
well NFS mobile has like say, turbo parts can only be collected on a tuesday
what kinda crap is that
the shop is only open on Tuesdays obviously
If theyre gonna give me a job atleast pay me award rates 😛
lol this game has that too, though they circumvented the frustration by adding fuckloads of those gear into the game store (free2play stores)
oh you wanna know something hilarious?
this game, for a while (back in the dark dark ages) had specific gear that you could only obtain by logging in at a certain time of the day
and that time was not disclosed early
you logged in and prayed lol
and that too not everyday lmao
school/college kids with no money and lots of free time lol
older folks would just be like "this isnt worth my time OR money"
maybe more people need to learn the old adage time is money
I heard someone say something I took to heart about valuing the players time if they are willing to give it to your game
I watched a video about this just yesterday
it's not about us
it's about the 2% of players that are very easily manipulated and get quickly addicted (aka whales)
that's why they don't even bother hiding the scumminess
cause they know those 2% will fall for it and pay for all of us
why not just price the plankton out of the game from the get go
if Star Citizen can have a 25k version I can get away with a 5k one 😛
these f-ers have all kinds of tactics for pathologizing the game in the way that is most efficient to extract that whale blood
anyways, Breakpoint is ready to play
whale fat you mean
Amrita juice
I like Galactic Civilizations IV. It reminds me of Endless Space.
The customisation options are awesome, as usual for the series.
Whose juice are you sucking?
I'll ask why based on the answer.
Orange juice straight from the orange
Nice. Fresh and honest.
Of course, depends on where the orange came from.
Tree or lab?
thats a common name in india and i know like 15 people with that name kek
Its from avatar 2 guys, cmon 😅
I liked the environment in the Avatar game.
I watched it on TheRadBrad's channel. The flying was pretty great.
haven't played for a while
I know that lol
I'll play them
at some point
I wanna get RE4R but 1. I'm poor as fuck lately and 2. it's just a measly 20% off
nothing else interests me
I could’ve sworn I saw Death Stranding on sale for $5 yesterday but it was showing 50% instead today
Already have it tho
I look in the deep discount section and lo and behold, I already own whatever catches my eye there
damn, that's weird
I've been trying to figure life and shit out
been a while since I opened UE for my game's purpose
Ah yeah? How is reading the source code for that?
The comments are quite entertaining
shit commenting, 0 documentation
whoever wrote it sucks ass
finishing up the last quest's story and then I'll start from scratch again
with my game, that is
Why from scratch
I opened the existing one a while ago and it's more ass than I remember it to be
plus I forgot everything that I did there lol
Refactoring is better than starting over
Basically I've chained dependancies together and now if I try to remove or change something, the whole thing is wrecked
Heh, I sometimes go check my old project for something and I’m like “I did this back then? It’s pretty good”
figured I'll just start over
exactly, I didn't think I was capable of this
but now I'm not 😭
You are, just takes a minute to remember
I was preparing to organize and comment out everything but then I dropped it because life happened
I guess
@brittle holly I remember watching Death Stranding on YT and enjoying it, but it seemed to be one of those games that's great to see rather than play.
No, it’s really great to play
The whole walking simulator thing is exaggerated
You have vehicles
It was on Game Pass for a bit, but left pretty quickly. I guess not many players played it there.
But, you get them mid-game, no?
Or it was touch of a loss for them
Kinda? You get a bike relatively early iirc
I think you get the two-wheeler early on.
yeah.
I enjoyed watching one of the slime bosses being machine gunned to death. 😄
At that point, I was like, "Where was this machine gun this entire playthrough?"
The graphics were absolutely amazing for the time, though. I LOVED how cinematic everything felt.
I finally updated my bio; should've done it days ago.
They still hold up really well
10k seems like a good way of outsourcing
View from the bathroom.
Many game devs have passed away designing this dragon lair.
Moral of the story: Avoid the monsters you create.
my mom needs to learn that lesson and stop calling me 🙂
Unless you breath dragon fire or launch ice lightning, she probably won't.
my gas is pretty bad?
spent a few hours trying to make a control rig for the FP arms, baked the rifle idle anim to control rig, this is the result.
Looks good. Are you going for 'cool' or 'realistic'?
at this point, "decent"
no, no its not.
then make it better.
stop being lazy and threatning your mum. 😛
naps are nice
I agree
time for some post nap guitar
imagine if Spain had a commission for each nap
damm we could be first world power
yay its going up to 29C today, 34 later in the week. it forecasted 36c for later, yesterday
7/10 cause of the blending
should use the megascans trees :p
but the megascan tree looks better, so there's that
what kind of game dev are you? You cant release a game that doesnt require the absolute maximum hardware available and wont run at 60fps unless you're running triple 4090s
stop making games for poor people (including the middle class)
games should be taxed high, change my mind
does australia have a video game tax?
like for energy drinks, cigarettes, etc?
Min Reqs: Ram: 2tb, drive space: 40tb, cpu: not yet developed, video card: not yet developed, 1tb vram
anywhoo, I should build on the momentum with my game, but I'm going for a nap instead 🙂
oO
i don't think that there's much margin for LODs on cubes
you can do merge faces with similar textures
i think minecraft does smth similar
nap faiL! 😦

Hey I'm finally getting these animations working! tests ....ah.
your guys' UE5 projects look great!
I'm getting a new worklaptop this wednesday and it had win11 😔
the devHome setup the helped coding much
problem is
idk if a upgrade (from 12gb) to 16gb would last long enough to be worth it
when i run the editor on an almost empty map it already uses 4GB
i feel like either vram memory management on vulkan is horrible or it is what it is...
so my viable upgrade paths are 4060TI or 4090 😄
or eventually a 3090, which is economically a bad decision because of the energy consumption
ofc not the house
an basic test level with a floor
yea
and recently also switched to lumen
also haven't found a really good way to debug video memory usage
lumen is pretty vram hungry
wth
how can this be 36GB?
like, there's already 900MB allocated for render targets, on that test map
i would love to know WHY
are those the framebuffers?
my biggest concern is that this is not an issue with unreal/etc but my setup
but reading further, most of the render target budget seem to be framebuffers
well, got at least to a point where i can hit play without crash xD
empty startup level reduced 700MB of overhead which seemed to stay in memory
i wonder if switching everything to virtual textures would do good
i hoped that i could avoid it, because it seems like a shitton of work (with uncertain outcome)
nah, already did that
i had 8k normal / ao maps tho 😄
i think they've been 80MB each 😄
there's rarely an asset pack which is really optimized in that regard
they also love textures with repeating patterns which could be smth like 128x128 at worst, and make it a 4k with 32 rows/cols
often i spent more time fixing shit than it would take to make it from scratch
i bought some in humble packs... -_-
and some from someone who barely asks for money, and it was actually pretty good for the price
i don't see the price but it was <$10
it looks awful on the screenshots tho (creator probably has a shit pc, which is good so they are forced to optimize :D)
Testing Deja self moderation 
It's pretty interesting
I have some other uses for function calling (just finished building a framework for it to allow the model to call functions) but moderation is a fun one to test the system with
it doesn't take a any actions with it, just getting it to reliably call the functions
probably gonna have a hall of shame channel or something to display the Deja reports lol
xD
having the model be able to call functions opens up a lot of possibilities
i got to imagine how you look into that channel for the first time after a month awaiting a good time, and then it's all messages of you because Deja knows you best and already hates you 😄
lol
ponkkis, this is a texture i've changed earlier today
the evil thing isn't the repeating only
it's also 1800x1350px
so it can't even use mips
just, pure evil
yes
actually two to get the offset
but thats it
Not using C# for this?
all C++
no
I need to focus for more than 5s and get something done on my game
pfft, lost cause
here is another use case
math
well that's the benefit of function calling
It can leave the task it sucks at to the program to calculate the results for it
these are the requests on the left the model made and results on the right from my functions
C# is the best though
what timestamps? 😆
it was like 1-2 seconds
probably sent at like 1:01:58 or something
until it starts to hallicunate and spits out made up stuff
I hate C# with passion 😆
That's the thing, it can't (unless it ofc refuses to call functions and does it itself)
But so far it always calls them, tends to call them for anything remotely complex that has a chance of failing, for something like 5 + 10 it does it itself, it's pretty interesting to watch it decide between doing it itself or calling the functions
And the function calls lead to this
how does it decide tho?
the models spits out a function call when the model decides it needs it
like is there some way to tell you the "weight" of the path it has taken?
to consider it an valid response
does the model know about the functions through it's context?
or is that a layer on top of the LLM? like ChatGPT does afaik?!
not really
you triggered BM
see
even i don't fully agree on that 😄
now i wonder, do they roll a dice for the start of their response tho?
like does it use a random seed to start each response?
Bruh :'( I thought we was like 🤞 but now we like ✌️
It's a layer around the LLM
With some macro magic I have my LLM functions auto register with rest of my systems that dumps them into the LLM context, together with the calling conventions and at generation time the communication with the LLM is ran in a feedback loop until the LLMs stop chaining the function calls to get the answer it needs
then comes actual response generation
LLMs are by design perfectly deterministic (if you use the temperature of 0 or equivalent for top_k, but the actual model inference is deterministic)
ChatGPT and other consumer LLMs use semi random sampling, which means the output logits (the actual raw values from the model) are divided by the temperature, so lower temperature bumps the already most probable tokens which spikes their probability and lowers everything else when passed through softmax
Higher values than 1 flatten out the probability distribution so lower probability tokens have a higher chance of being picked, this is used to make conversations more diverse
In the final stage the token is then selected with a weighted random, so if you use temperature (or top_k) it is random between the most probable tokens
If you instead use 0 as the temperature this will switch to greedy sampling which just takes the most probable token and this is 100% deterministic
There are also sampling mechanism like beam search, which runs multiple sampled sequences in parallel and selects the one with highest "confidence"
As much as people wanna disagree it's a fact that LLMs do have primitive reasoning capabilities
this semi random sampling really doesn't matter that much when it comes to that because it's a random sample among the most probable tokens, not a random sample out of the entire vocabulary
I've been working with and on LLMs and training them for the year and a half, I think I know a thing or 2 
1 for sure, which is Deja
Deja is my pet project, I don't really count that
hah
she said the same about you
that's the equivalent to what compile times used to be 30 years ago i guess
wonder if it's worth to implement the GPU lightmass patch for vulkan or if this will just drive me to the next out of VRAM one way street
hi
there's a rule in #lounge that whenever someone says "hi" they have to bring a sandwich
for every person in the chat
no it's not
Lawdy established the tradition
yes
because she never brought a sandwich
@empty dune can confirm that
those wheren't jokes
The horror
I lost 40 more points of elo in chess to accounts that were made 1 week - 1 month ago
ok, she did once
I WISH CYBERPUNK WORLD IS REAL
Try the Unrecord mod
there is realistic mod for cyberpunk 2077
Yes, Unrecord mod is one of them
Wait never heard of that
Oh ok I wanna give it a shot
I find cyberpunk world is kinda neat to live in. I hope the world will be there one day
But its waste land
I mean depends. If you know what to do, you can have a great life
why do you wanna live in a wasteland o_0
Wait I need to look up waste land
Sounds like you make it sounds that's a bad thing hahahha
