and with a 480 square km map you can have a large number of players on

for reference thats roughly 13 times larger than skyrim

we have 3 people working on the map including a USGIS worker to ensure the terrain makes some sense

And do you already have a Steam page for this game? I feel like I have come across it.

white oxide
#

not this game

summer cedar
#

Ah, that was a different one then.

white oxide
#

we have pages for our other 2 games that are on back burners due to technical limitations

#

yes there is a "nightingale" game but it has nothing to do with me or my company. we also looked at the game and were unsure why they picked that name

Nightingale is a PVE open-world survival crafting game played solo (offline or online), or cooperatively with friends. Build, craft, fight and explore as you venture through mystical portals into a variety of amazing and fantastical realms. You are stranded beyond our world, cut off by the collapse of the arcane portal network. This catastrophe ...

well why did you pick the name

it's not like you're the first to ever name something nightngale

so how is that different than the other game picking it

white oxide
#

we honestly dont know why they picked it.

#

they use other terms for a lot of their stuff

i think they were using it because it sounds victorian, like a lot of the design elements

Henry Cavill is big on lore as far as I can tell so just ramming Sisters of Battle in willy nilly might have upset the balance

oh i also found out people had a rage attack because they showed bricks and screws in Andor (one of the new star wars shows)

pearl elk
#

who knows what the writers want on a project like this, they might have just got some randoms who barely know anything about 40k

empty dune
pearl elk
#

yeah theres nothing wrong with it, I think it might have been weaponised though to justify adding in other stuff

pearl elk
#

It depends on the budget too, its entirely possible that in order to do 40k they might have to take money from elsewhere. If the budget isnt where Henry Cavill wanted it to be that could definitely cause an exit

empty dune
#

true, who knows

pearl elk
#

Amazon has had a few luke warms like The Peripheral which must have cost them alot, it was definitely meant to be bigger

empty dune
#

yeah but warhammer is kind of a safe bet. youre guaranteed to rake in some money no matter how the chips fall

pearl elk
#

You might think that but if Amazon are looking at Disney they might be seeing risk, Star Wars and Marvel were meant to be sure things too

empty dune

they did make money though XD

Zerg I always forget cuz I dont play em much and I suck at Protoss

empty dune

never played zerg

#

zerg to me never really had any appeal cause it was just a flood of units compared to actually trying to keep things alive

celest musk

it is ๐Ÿ˜„

empty dune

i mean zerg has some high priority units too that you need to keep alive

its a roleplaying strategy game, you have to become the zerg

I've become addicted to AlbedoXL for image generation.

don't really have a real goal, just seeing how far I can get with it

broken sigil
#

the agent graph is gonna be used for the text adventure stuff I talked about recently

summer cedar
#

The other challenge with selecting image generator models is figuring out which mode they function well in.

#

For example, AlbedoXL is great in Speed and Quality modes.

#

But Duchaiten's models are geared for Lightning and Hyper-SD modes.

#

If you select the wrong mode, the generated image is 'bad' to say the least.

pearl elk
#

BabyAGI ftw

summer cedar
#

Of course, commercially, you have to ensure that the generators you use let you publish the generated content.

#

Albdeo is very generous with his model, but I paid him anyway. ๐Ÿ˜„

celest musk

just ask the LLM nicely

summer cedar
broken sigil

it's actually really good at self moderation
It detects it really well and doesn't suffer from the same issues that content filters do

Does it generate images too?

And this is the agent graph trace for the report path

From what I have read, just 10.

#

And besides this, I believe MS has been throttling Win 10 in various ways.

#

I don't know if you remember me complaining about my membrane keyboard keys not working properly, specifically the numbers 5, 9, and sometimes X keys.

#

After I upgraded to Win 11, the 'problem' simply went away. The keys work great.

broken sigil
#

tbf MS had nothing to do with today's incident

summer cedar
#

For some time, the Win 10 installation would occasionally not shut down correctly.
Same apps, same registry, Win 11 has been shutting down just fine.

summer cedar
#

They want everyone on Win 11.

broken sigil
#

MS ended up catching strays for no reason today ๐Ÿ˜†

summer cedar
#

Unless we learn tomorrow that CloudStrike was inspired by MS.

#

๐Ÿคฃ

broken sigil
summer cedar
#

Which is great if they hadn't decided to simply disallow several CPUs that run Win 11 just fine, for tech reasons.

#

Heck, my CPU qualifies on all their metrics, EXCEPT that it's not on their list.

#

So, I installed it anyway with a registry workaround - WHICH MS PROVIDED ๐Ÿคฃ - and Win 11 works GREAT.

#

It has received all the updates so far, too. No crashes, no problems. It's faster in many ways than Win 10.

broken sigil
#

yeah it should work as long as the platform supports or has TMP2.0 (and secure boot I think)
Pretty sure there is a workaround around that too

Tho I don't think tpm requirement is a bad thing

summer cedar
#

They have been trying to gimp that TPM workaround.

#

Recently, they enforced a POPCUNT requirement.

#

So, if your CPU doesn't support that instruction set, you can't get the 24H2 update.

#

If you dare, your system won't boot anymore.

#

For the gutter minded, POPCUNT is Population Count instruction set, part of the SSE 4.2. set.

#

๐Ÿคฃ

#

I imagine whoever coded that instruction set.

cursive crypt
#

it is popcnt, so yea, bullshit

#

sounds kinda interesting tho

summer cedar
#

and several CPUs that do support it aren't even on the allowed list.

#

but you can still install Win 11 and get the 24H2 update. I did. Works great.

#

But, it does suck for those who installed Win 11 before that and got BSODs thereafter.

#

They had to reinstall to the 23H something update.

YT on Chrome is acting weird the last couple of days. Not sure if it's just for unsigned users, or for everyone.

When a video starts, it pauses immediately - like after a second and you have to hit the play button again.
When you search for a channel, it's videos don't show up in the 'by upload date' format. Like, the latest videos are hidden, but videos from 8-10 hours ago show up instead.

#

Must put you on a watchlist.

#

@errant raven You can catch up. Play harder.

#

Type less.

#

Go, go, go!

If tyler1 can get 2000+ elo, so can I

summer cedar

Put Ricky Martin's Reach for the Cup of Life on repeat.

proud jay
#

if you weren't a GM by the time you were 18 you can kiss any chance goodbye

summer cedar
#

Why though? I mean it might not be so statistically, but if Ambulance develops the skills, he can still play and win, no? 9 or 90.

proud jay
#

oldest person to ever get GM was 32

summer cedar
#

Is there a time limit?

proud jay
#

no

#

but those that were playing since they were 2 also keep playing

summer cedar
#

Then we should encourage him to do his utmost.

#

He has nothing better to do after all.

proud jay
#

he has meth people to keep away

summer cedar
#

Doesn't chess repel meth-folk?

proud jay
#

he can play chess with his child though

#

maybe the child can become gm

summer cedar
#

He'll probably have to pay off that 15k in debt before thinking of having children.

#

Waits for Dieter to tell him he already has kids

proud jay
#

ambulance has at least one child

summer cedar
#

really?

proud jay
#

that's what he says at least

#

and he's still not as old as you you old fart

summer cedar
#

Oh. Well, then you are right. Prep the kid, make the money.

summer cedar
#

BUT, to be fair, I don't have meth.

proud jay
#

owned

#

I bet you don't grow tomatoes either

summer cedar
#

No, no I don't. There was definitely a moment or two when I wanted to.

#

Yes, I did research hydroponics for that.

#

But, I didn't go through with it ultimately. I'll wait for Optimus to be released publicly. Robot gardeners FTW.

proud jay
#

don't let your dreams be dreams

summer cedar
#

Fair. But, robot gardeners needed. Laziness overpowers dreams.

#

Well, at least the grandiose ones.

proud jay
#

Just hire an indian child todo it for you

#

should be cheap

summer cedar
#

If it's a standard garden, sure. I don't trust them with hydroponics.

#

It might be easier to just invest in a farming setup.

#

Support some existing farmers and take a cut of their profits.

proud jay
#

or buy the farmers

#

take all their profits

summer cedar
#

I cannot legally engage in slavery.

proud jay
#

no one said it should be legal

#

just give 10% of the profits to politicians and you're fine

summer cedar
#

Maybe we can outsource that to Deja and get BM to do it for us instead.

#

Given their usage of power, they'll take 90%, kill me, and share 10% with their cronies.

what's a griddle?

#

is that like a grill?

white oxide

electric grill

like those used in many restraunts

#

well griddle can be gas but they are flat tops

good for general frying/cooking/grilling

white oxide

yeah that

proud jay
#

so what's the difference with a grill?

#

just that you can close a grill?

white oxide
#

also it isnt a solid flat surface

proud jay
#

I'd call that thing a grill plate

white oxide

typically a grill has the bars you grill on vs a plate/induction plate thats heated

also most grills cant be safely used inside the house

it was not a windows update

it was crowdstrike

but yeah

which is a securities platform

and most major groups use it

errant raven
#

The people I keep losing too in chess play the same moves the fuckin Cleopatra bot plays

#

Just played her 10 times and its very fucking consistent with what they do

#

Only moving queen, knight and bishop. Not even touching the rest of their pieces or caring about pawn structure

white oxide
#

probably learned it from that

fleet tangle

Or they're just playing your moves to the bot and doing what it does.

#

Chess is full of bots.

but i used to play mostly 2v2 3v3 and 4v4

I never really like the 2v2 and such

85c for a cpu is a bit low these days isn't it? My intel 12700k is rated safe upto 100c iirc

#

yeah modern gen cpus are rated for higher temps than previous gens. My 4790k could hit 100c at max temp before stepping down, so 85 was a nice tradeoff for longevity. But last gen and this gen cpu can do 110c before they even take the hit. I've ran my pc with all cores running 95c overnight and not had any issues.

Those Noctua air coolers are quite proficient at keeping temperatures low, aren't they? They don't burn a whole in your pocket either.

# cursive crypt So, it looks like on load 90 to 95 is okay, but I still think it is nok for too ...

it is right in old school terms. The tech has progressed with heat in mind as the two main factors of cpu death are voltage and temperature. Which is why Intel introduced the Stepping Down technology in the first place, to protect the cpu. But we are in a world of heavy computational power and cpu requirements for 100% load are now entirely based on a stable temperature environment, where 110c would be unsafe for long periods where ambient temperature affects cooling of the cpu, and 100c is fine with a solid 10c buffer for that situation.
Other factors do some into play though. Like how you setup your voltages, if you use air cooling then how does the internal case temps affect cooling efficiency at high loads, etc. Other components might need their own cooling too, in the case of gpu, ram and storage, where the internal ambient temps lead to instability.
This is why people buy Apple Macs though... fire and forget ๐Ÿ™‚

Endorfy is not for sale here, either, sadly.
There's ONE website offering it, but that's like double the price - SCAM.

what do you mean with proprietorship

Proprietorship is a very basic company, which is not established under a Companies Act/Law.

It's like a grocery shop, to put it simply.

so it's still the developer

#

@unreal ether Hey, Cuppa, sorry to bother you, but since I remembered you advising another developer about selling their game, a long time ago, I thought I'd ask you for some advice.

We have around 1,300 wishlists that I'd like to convert into actual sales. Other than ensuring the game is bug-free and enjoyable, do you have any advice about converting them into moolah? ๐Ÿ˜„

summer cedar
proud jay
#

strange

summer cedar
#

They have fewer protections than companies do from liability.

proud jay
#

but it's still like the publisher/developer of the game

#

cause it releases under that name

summer cedar
#

Yes, taken as a group.

#

In my case, I have Angel Grove Studio as my proprietorship and it acts as my Publisher. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

While I also moonlight in other dev teams. ๐Ÿ˜Š

#

By the way, if you have advice about my question to ACuppa, feel free to pitch in, Dieter.

proud jay
#

hmm not really

#

the studio I worked at is bankrupt remember

I don't think that's what you're going for

#

Ah, how time flies.

proud jay
#

I got some d'addario strings to try out when these ernie balls start giving out

#

curious if there's actually a difference

summer cedar
#

I remember changing the starting strings on my violin to D'Addario Preludes.

#

The difference was quite profound; but then again, it was a transition from STARTING strings.

proud jay
#

I already changed from the factory strings to ernie balls

#

which was a huge step up

summer cedar
#

Ah, then the differences might be subtle, given two high quality string types.

#

I think the sound quality varies depending on the weight of the strings too.

proud jay
#

yeah

#

went from 10 gauge to 9 gauge

#

the new ones I bought are also 9

#

that's a different kind of daddario
