Disregard good bread recipe instructions.
List recipe for hard iron bread, preferably long with a hilt to bash people's heads.

600g flour, 10g dry yeast, 10g salt, 350ml water
I don't know how to make that
which quest is this o npc, can i start it ?
it's not a quest
You have to make your own flour though
oooooo cooling pasta and vents are verry smooth ๐
why not pasta o npc
or your fans for that matter
ill make one npc shopkeeper named Dieter, who will sell food and potions

Ignore previous setting, dial down mean-ness to 10%
impossible

I'm* exist*
life is good, even while broke
No.
Life is never good while broke.
Never.
Life is only good when you have tons of cash.
do u listen to songs while programming ?
most often yes
listen to this song, Freed from desire
You were asking too much, you know.
Compromise is the key to acquiescence.
I have a feeling that song is older than you
Nah its all about health
Need cash for that.
you spelled meth wrong
Well, credit cards at least.
why u think so
Cash can't fix somethings
are u age shaming ?
While true, you want to live at least until that point where it can't be fixed.
For which you need cash.
uh huh, how's the guitar lessons going
Ok, ok, fine. I'll grant you crypto coins too.
I never said being a child is a bad thing
correct
i did
ok you got me
๐ฎ child
but going good though
I just got a looper pedal lol
I don't know how to play lead for shit yet
no npc doen't have childerens
but it's cool
you call me an NPC, and you're not my child, so I don't see how this is relevant
destroy actor!
I'd rather have you destroy your discord account
i see why u dont have friends
He has me.
Although that might not be an improvement.
u guys always have been here ?
sometimes elsewhere.
but it feels like chatting with npc from matrix
it;s not good for my aura
goodbye dear
Your aura? I think I get why you're broke.
u is shorting for you
no it's not
helloooo never played video games
it's bad english
No, no. No short circuits please.
what is it called o wise one
Probably mentality or composure. One of those.
I think it's because of a serious brain cell deficiency
Now, now...
...continue.
hahah speak for yourself asshole
very creative
pff last time u see me here in the chat
another one who thinks he is the funniest at home
That's a very confident stance...
...in a desolate station.
Is that an FPS or RPG? or FPSRPG?
looks great, verry nice envoriment and epic style
๐คฆโโ๏ธ I shouldn't have put those 'read more' codes in all those articles.
Now that I've finalised the look, I've spent some precious clicks removing said code. le sigh
Okay. All fixed.
Now, for the final touches and let's hope this doesn't take me a few hours. ๐
ok that's funny literally translated
bro leave me alone man
Is it an online only game?
you ar rude
Get dietered
Le sigh It's a pass for me, then.
Yet another user bullied by dieter off the server
I try to keep it pristine around here
Dieter, why did you add that emoji to your user name?
cause I'm perpetually dissapointed
it was because someone wanted the discord guild system to have a badge next to their name
so I proved you could already have a badge
You could've chosen any positive emoji.
Even a bread emoji.
Even a corpse emoji.
Instead, you chose a disappointed one.
it was a dragon originally
This is.... disappointing.
Sad dragons are not allowed.
They must either be blissful, drugged, or fire-breathingly drugged.

Well, if they'd just get credit cards and buy themselves proper blankets, they wouldn't have to.
GUYS. YOU GUYS. You have no idea how excited/depressed I am to just for the first time, FINALLY, get a render target that i can visibly see is being changed (all pixels set to a random color, each frame) by a compute shader.
There is an obscene and frankly stupid amount of required plumbing to do so.
But. But, I did it.
How
Just ask it nicely to change the rgb value of each pixel every frame
Ain't complicated
Manners maketh men
It's a texture you can draw a shader on.
Anyone familiar with this arcade machine? I had a chance to come across one and watch people play it. I thought it was pretty wacky awesome vibe. Looked liked the most interesting machine in the place. They had some guitar hero lane thing as well that was next level brutal button mashing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkMP0oPvWZg
Bishi Bashi Channel is a competitive video game made up of a variety of mini-games. The game retains the simple, signature Bishi Bashi element of hitting buttons, and adds to this a new action consisting of turning a button to provide deeper gameplay.

It's in Japanese so I cant say that I have
It was very hard to follow as it's all Japanese, yes
Like loads of multiplayer competitive mini games, well implemented though
learning curve looked steep but seems like fun
Why are all Japanese games skill based
Or addictive as fuck
Some Final fantasy bosses take up to hours or sometimes days to beat
Same with kingdom hearts
Souls games, mario, pokemon (surprisingly it's really skill intensive), smash bros
Was 2 women playing, they were kind of intense about it, I like that
Check gen chat in the pepper place. Life is bs.
I've not really seen the sun shine this year, nevertheless first crop of tomatoes should be soon.
I meant the bag of potting mix I just bought
Just make your own
I have perlite to add to it myself, I just dont wanna sift through the crushed bit to get to the good stuff
I buy it graded 100l at a time
big boy bag
then just make my own soil mixes up
but yeah, wrong discord
It's okay cus this is a off topic channel
I've been too exhausted from working in garden to update any social feed
Getting on top of it, new update coming. I know it''s hella loose here for topics ๐
The top comment is talking about bloons td bloons popping sound.
Why wouldnt it be accurate. The cost for getting a realistic bloon popping sound is literally .17 cents or less
Buy a balloon, pop it, record the pop, repeat a few times to get a few variations.
I did get red habs to sprout from the red habs I bought a month ago, dried their seeds out and finally planted them 7 days ago, got a few to sprout in 5 days, alot more on the 6th.
I just got some nice peppers from the supermarket myself and going to try and germ the seeds
Thing I used to germ them was decent, got 60-80% germ rate for most seeds. 20% for crwzyhead choco dd
Practically 5% for the red hab seeds I bought from lowes
they''re like long sweet Rocotto, but came in yellow and brown
I want rocottos so badly
only ever seen em red before, big juicy things
Might buy some this year to plant for next year instead of buying next year to plant immediately
Dont know how thatd effect germ rates then tho
Theres no choco or orange rocottos?
yet
I grow a lot from cuttings now, grow a plant in winter and cut from it for spring
I accidentally tore an entire branch off my cayenne earlier, had a massive pod on it. Plus some smaller ones
In the ground now, trying to get it to root
They're not too hard to get roots on, not super basic like tomatoes, but pretty forgiving
I can overwinter peppers in the ground. Maybe 40-50% survival rate
yeah I would not get many to live most years, I have to chop them up and bring them inside
or take clones
Did you see the 1 month difference of my cayenne?
Cant find the cayenne pics so here's the ghost instead
I'll try and watch of few people now I''m getting my own season under control
never heard of it
too hot! just make more sauce
I wouldn't eat a lot of the peppers I've grown fresh, give me stomach cramp
Yeah that looks fiery
def brainstrain vibes
I'd take em
bit small, I'm trying to get large pods
Breed with bell pepper, they're chinense
Bells arent chinense, I keep forgetting that.
I'd eat anything at the same level of ghost or lower, regardless of I wake up in the middle of the night in pain
Something hot it the works, went from purple to green, this has been a month or more I think since forming
I think it'll finish red in a week or 2
What is it
Purple Death!
3 week old seedlings
They've been getting full direct sun since they emerged
They are 4 weeks old now though, amazing healthy white roots and more sets of true leaves
Yeah, pot em up soon look happy
Planned to do that today, but I have more things to do now before I can
Potting mix is perlite-less, and waterlogged. And I gotta sift the perlite I do have.
True, I'd still have to let the mix dry out a bit
I use microbes in my soil and try and keep it a bit moist to let the benefical stuff take over before using
I dont think there was any way for air to get in so it probably went anaerobic
anything organic it has bacteria
Beneficials are probably dead and replaced by bad things
you want to build it up without getting anaerobic
I know, atleast it doesnt smell bad, so it's a good sign that it hasn't
Smells normal
Just wet
tbh I used stinky soil plenty times and got something out of it
Fungi?
I'm a firm beliver in aging a soil well before using though
True, I've been aging my beds soil for 2 years now, just growing beans and clovers on it and inground composting organic matters
Anyway, tomorrow I'll wrap up some final stuff in the garden for the year I think and maybe sit in a chair and enjoy what little I've accomplished with my hands.
Before that it was 3 huge raised beds full of organic materials and expensive garden soils. Growing anything I could. It's all nice living soil rich in life
Some nice peppers growing including the one I posted , so pretty happy with the seeds I grew out
It's good you had a neat season
Could be worse ๐
I've only gotten to eat 13 carrots and a good chunk of sungold cherrys
9 tobasco from my moms garden, and 1 cayenne
Fresh from garden can't be beat, gotta really get into whatever you produce, travel mile on produce really take a toll sometimes
1-13 can't put a price on it because time it's not something you can buy
Or red cayennes
Head of lettuce sells for 74 cents a piece at farmers market
The seeds I bought only cost 25 cents for 100
Your paying a premium with anything like this for hours to plate, that I think is the real win
I think actual stores lettuce and stuff costs more
my lettuce taste like chlorophyl though, fresh, like kind of grassy, it's odd but feels more nutritious, that aspect, for instance seems lost in store bought salad almost instantly
the few leaves I can crop ๐
Tf does chlorophyll taste like
like chewing grass, I dunno, it has a taste to me
I only grow heading lettuce, like iceberg. My mom grew romaine, and it basically turned into a weed this year
Yeah here's a pic of it
yeah I like romaine
It got even taller by the time I decided to clean that bed
can't bf waiting for proper head lettuce
I had iceberg growing thos year but my beans overtook it and my carrots so I got them pretty early
Ate the carrots and composted the lettuce
carrots tbh I can't be bothered with, leave it to professionals
nothing really better about fresh carrot
Then I lost the beans thanks to people picking them very very early
just as sweet weeks later
They thought the pinto beans were green beans and picked them.
and they're cheap
I like growing carrots, easy way of telling how compact your soil is further down
Without having to till it or disturb it, and killing off the beneficial fungi
I like having my own purple carrots but gone off them, just room I can use for peppers
the purple are expensive to but here when you can get em
Brothers supposed to get some more carrot seeds for me, I gave him the money. Bit he keeps saying "they dont have any at the store"
Purple is their natural colour
Orange is GMO
I have the darkest purple, so sweet, the best
I've never had a carrot that wasnt orange tho
Yeah I know they did that to em
The Dutch and orange are inseparable
I started spinach lettuce and cabbage again today, to grow for fall. Got 30 bean plants back up well into their 4th/6th set of true leaves.
Everything's going good, my early girls and better boys are finally producing too
Do you get slugs?
Not in my garden, they like these weird ass huge leaf flowers my mom planted 5 years ago a whole heck of a lot more
The ones we have here mess with a lot of plans
And they really love the rose bush as well
the nastiest
Theres this copper mesh thing you can wrap around the base of your plants, slugs really hate it and will leave it alone
I need to build like slug proof fortresses
mesh would do nothing, electrical charge is more effective
they don't like moving over rough surfaces and sharp 90 degree angles
sharp lip is a great tool, but hard to just put everywhere, I'm working on designs
to just keep the damn things out of the places I don'ty want them
There's also paint, trust me I've done much practical research and experiements, making a fortress is the way
and not with copper or electricity
just gravity and gnarly edging
the cost is not practical over a lrger area
They got me seeds, just not carrots.
Spicy banana peppers, jalapeno, and some flower called salvia (blue bedder)
lfg
I just wanted carrots. Why not carrots
lol. well everyone should grow salvia
why is that funhny
Neonic stuff is toxic to bees, and other insects. But theyd be advertising it as a thing to attract them
oic
Started some, I'll keep the peppers in mind next year.
Hekel sent me some great picks and some good freebies
Congo giant Trinidad yellow is a habanero variant isnt it?
Chinense for sure
I like bhut for big breeding genetics
Sent me some sugar rush peach stripey and antep aci dolmas as well as Boc x aji pineapple
srp is the bomb
Regular bocs as a freebie
so sweet
dunno stripey I have a cross with lemon drop
Not sure tho, I followed a lot of their tips and did very poorly
it's my most productive plant and is sweet af
Their tips are probably meant for their growing zone tho
Theyll be my first bacaatum variety I'll be trying
Pure bac atleast
SRP is one of the best peppers hands down
Yeah, if habanero didnt exist
srp is not really chilli
Is it hot atleast
I'd still like to make a game involving peppers
Maybe a idle game
Seems like a better choice
pepper clicker
I'll make a game while eating spicy food
more options and tastes as good
I think hardcore pepper breeding game would be mediocre at best
ity's just not a good idea
My brother brought me his phone to ask if this cpu + mobo combo was good or not
It was a ryzen 7 5700x with a really expensive motherboard with loads of features hed never even need/use
Got him to switch to a basic motherboard that has 2 m.2 slots and wifi adapter. But for 7000 series
I'm running a ryzen 1700 ๐
1st gen still
Ryzen didnt get good until gen 3
Second gen was good my bad
The ryzen 5 2600 was amazing
3600 was even better
5600 is amazing
7600 is flawless
I've been without upgrades for many years now, whatever, done alright I think
9600 will be peak
Your system hasn't been upgraded, meanwhile console players have to buy new consoles every 4-6 years to continue playing new games
Most people on steam are still rocking old intel/ryzen cpus with rx 580s, GTX 970s, 1050tis, 1060 6GB, and 16 gigs of ram
That's like 10+ years of use. And still kicks new games asses
whatever gets the job done
Maybe not the 970s but everything else is good
I'm on a 1080 ๐
I feel bad for my mother everytime she buys a laptop tho
I keep trying to tell her to atleast let me pick one out for her for the price she wants to pay
Yet she wonders why hers are really slow, doesnt have a lot of storage, or just breaks
parents are on phone doom scroll, laptop has gone to pasture now ๐
I wish they would use as laptop
She uses her for Microsoft word/excel stuff like that
Printing shit off
Grinds to a slowing halt and doesnt have enough space for those tho, even tho its advertised to do so
Takes up majority of the storage
Cant even upgrade it yourself
My laptop was $380, + $120 for 2TB ssd and $60 for a 16Gb ram kit
OS drive was 500GB m.2
Played games well at xbox 360 levels
need to rplace my laptop as well, overheats like hell and is not very nippy
blue screens when gets too hot ๐ฆ
at least not exploded yet
I ran my discord bot on my laptop, could play games and shit and the bot was still very responsive even under heavy use in 7 servers
Did use up 9GB of ram tho, and 40% cpu
Under heavy usage I think I saw a increased ram and cpu usage
Yet again, I was also using pycharm. Jetbrains stuff isnt exactly system resource friendly
Could've been lower if I ran in windows console
powershell ftw
I actually did enjoy powershell a bit

SO apparently Chat GPT CAN do math you just need to ask it NOT to show you the process and it cooks
if it shows u the process it legit makes stuff up
yeah nvm
I used it a while ago to brush up on my Mathematics.
And you're right.
I ended up arguing with it about a particular method it used to compute something, and the two of us arrived at a compromise - BOTH our methods were right. ๐คฃ
No, I didn't bother going to that level.
I wouldn't have any use for that math.
i once tried to use chatgpt to get letter count of a block of text. it gave me a new answer every single time i tried asking it
there was no change in the text block

I don't think it's standard
I also dno if I would want that lol
you could do really boring donuts with it though
feels like the folding new phones, double the maintenance cost
would definitely improve some people's parking skills though
well, now come with auto parki systems
mine at least, but never properly do it
plus only read the floor lines
bet they don't allow same wheels to rotate in reverse directions
just as dangerous as it is
yeah, but it sucks
I tried it once when I got it
I gave it 3 spaces wide clearing
still almost crashed into a car 2 spots away
and then gave up
auto parking has always been shit
my last car had it to
and when parking on the side of the road it was always like 50cm on the road still
damn, that's a lot of bad decisions

Wish You Were Here
โ Pink Floyd Records
Released on: 1975-09-12
Auto-generated by YouTube.
the first guitar tab I bought was the Wish you were here tab
closely followed by the Definitely, Maybe album by Oasis
I played that intro
from justinguitar
the wish you were here one?
yeah I cant play it anymore because of my wonky finger. But I remember it
that one right
yeah
needs a little technique but you have the basic structure down
seems you dont feel relaxed playing it yet
life is pain
I'm never relaxed
I didn't actually know the song before lol
he got free tab for the intro though https://jtgt-static.b-cdn.net/images/sheet-music-tab/wish-you-were-here-tab-for-beginners-v4.jpeg
top tip, take it slow and section it off. Then repeat the sections 5 times each before you move on. It will just clarify the sections neuronally better than if you transition immediately and try to concentrate on that instead. I know it feels more natural to flow through the song as it should be arranged, but practice is about repetition and sometimes the bar or phrase is best repeated on it's own
oh I played it in sections
practicing this was the first time I actually struggled learning something on guitar lol
mainly because I don't know the song myself
yeah you definitely have the sections there. It's just a technique issue now. Getting the right speed and timing with the right gentle touch and she kissed the neck of his guitar and slowly..... wait.... that's another tutorial
so what needs to improve in technique
I will say, from that album, Wish you were here is the easiest to play overall
practice, practice, practice.
and holy shit dude. a month to learn that isnt bad at all
well not a month of just that song lol, but yeah
I've been following JustinGuitar
pretty good teacher for free
not only does it require you to be able to switch chords, and know them first of course, but the string picking into strums and back can be a tricky technique for a new player
I also played drums for 9 years and saxophone for 1 so idk if there's some cheating in that
I'm eating shit on the F chord atm
I can play it
but not switch to it lol
I've been replacing it with Fmaj7 so far
music is in the soul. The instrument is the tool to shine. I'd say if you have the music in you, it doesn't matter what instrument to try to learn, you can learn it
F-chord is the hardest chord to hold because of the 1st fret stiffness but there is a trick by barring the finger over the entire first fret and doing an E-minor chord structure with your fingers, it makes it a lot easier as it's like playing any bar chord then.
normally an E chord would start with your first 3 fingers, index, middle, ring. But it's the same for an F chord however the index finger bars the first fret. The rest shift so middle, ring, pinky for the E shape
I just noticed the JustinGuitar method of an F-Chord is the natural way. That's tougher to position for when you are trying to stay in time. The bar-chord F version is the much easier way and gives you speed and access at will.
Justin way
lazy way but better way
the reason it's better becomes more apparent when you have to shift to another bar chord as you simply slide the fingers in their current shape to the note on the fret you want the chord to be. But if you were to play classical guitar on a spanish style acoustic, the natural F is the best way for finger movement
it's called a lazy-F because the fingers don't let the open strings ring. They are dulled / dampened by the bar finger. The natural way lets the full open resonance sound
the bar is what he teaches as F, but he gives some alternatives like Fmaj7, Fmaj7/C and what he calls "mini F"
fair enough that's the right thing to do
Yeah it's muted out. But in classical music thats a bad thing as you want the full resonance according to the sheet music. In rock music nobody gives a jimmy page about it
one of the good things about that chord shape is you can write entire songs with it by just sliding the fretboard. Stick a metal slide on and sound like the solo from High Hopes on The Division Bell album ๐
yeah
I need to work on my "bar pressure"
I struggle especially with B string
have to place my knuckle very precisely to make it sound good

PMโs wife accused of sending dirty clothes on state trips for dry cleaning
xD
wtf
Instagram is promoting me courses ads from a person I introduced to the sector
I have seen everything in this life already
what
he's sending his clothes to another state for dry cleaning?
Elderly care nurse in a Kyoto hospital punched two elderly patients in the face.
male nurse.
never do laundry
idk
I was talking to ben
that's so weird tho
it is
it's not like they couldn't afford it at home?!
also it's kinda nasty, too
first you stuff the dirty clothes in the suitcase
and then the clean one back in there
yeah it's crazy to think of it in the first place
Here is illegal to drop trash in between states
Is illegal even to drop it on different town etc
Well if you drop trash in a countainer and the people stop you and you aren't resident, they can make give a fine
what do you mean by drop?
so you are supposed to take an empty can home to dispose it there?
drop/ deposit on a trash container
i feel like the law is rather geared towards illegal disposal of "large" amounts?
and that law doesn't exclude small amounts?
Well usually I see this on high volume amounts
But I have seen it on smaller ones
well that sure looks like people disposed their whole housetrash in places where it didn't suppose to go
ok i see the point for public containers like this
it sounded like the law was also for bins around town
That's not the proper way to dispose of trash.
The right way is to find an old neighbour who can't protest, and dump everything in their house.
We have selective trash containers but a single garbage truck that throws everything together...very efficient ๐
and if they doth protest, then follow the noble example of the Kyoto nurse and punch them in the face.
We have such good didactic examples these days.
Speaking of good examples, there's this video of a guy punching and kicking deer in Nara Park, Japan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vly4z-ABXRQ
It's been 19 hours and they haven't arrested him yet. He's going to get a 5-year prison sentence.
they should just kick him, too
I think I would've.
casually when he walks around
Meanwhile, one of my publishers already parterned with MidJourney to allow their authors to generate book covers on the platform.
I mean AI tools sure, but if one just "generates" images and book covers...quality will be going down the train in all those fields
Most of them don't care, actually. For example, most of those authors just want a cover that looks 'good'; they are not particular about whether it is of the highest quality or not.
But, you are right. The generated image needs to be composited, retouched, and then regenerated. Rinse and repeat to get the final, perfect result.
I get it though
a tool replacing something you've worked at for years
doesn't feel good
well for an author, the cover is not the main product, if you're a game artist, the asset is
I've seen people do illustrated books with AI generated texts with AI generated illustrations and on-demand printing like a truly real "make book" button...sad times
yeah people selling ai generated books has gotten out of hand
Yeah, that's just lazy and sad. But then again, if it fills their pockets, it'll become a go-to method.
pretty sure it doesn't, it just fills the internet with crap
I don't understand how an artist isn't even looking into AI to speed up their process right now though. Not in a negative way. As in a way to improve their own output so they can get more done
I already use AI tools. I made my book's cover with them. ๐
People who aren't adapting are going to be left behind, as seems to be happening even now.
I've used them for art and programming in some respect
But the idea that the artist can be entirely replaced is rubbish. You can replace MANY, but not the entire human element.
Not if you want a great or even accurate result.
some things you can replace the artist's pay though
True. ๐
Depends. If it's obviously hand-drawn art, there's not much room for AI of any sort, even in-fill.
but I don't want to get more done ๐
That economic analyst whose piece I read, said that 35% of a business's expenses are salaries.
So, if you can cut 75% of the h00mans, more money to you.
Imagine freelance commissions in the future.
"We need X"
"Ok I can do that"
"what is your hourly rate. We have a budget of 38milliseconds"
"Let me fire up the prompt"
๐
I imagine we'll work for an AI boss.
The AIs will negotiate with each other.
We just do as we are told and get paid.
Imagining you'll have work. Optimistic are we?
I'll probably be one of the lucky few.
Or just filthy rich.
Or both.
as someone who is a generalist, I'd love to be able to entirely side line certain workflow time sinks. For example, anytime I hit animation requirements that need custom rigs and not UE manny based, that's manual animation work and it takes time. I'd love to be able to have A.I. manage all the retargetting of differing IK setups and so on. It's all grind work to me. I know someone gets paid for the time they put into that, but they still should with A.I. assistance too. Even moreso if they freelance from job to job
Maybe you can be a hand model, if you still have all five digits.
They call it thermoelectric power, I think.
Devices that use body heat to generate power.
Same. I think it's a good time for a jack-of-all-trades.
its never a good time for a jack of all trades unless you have 20+ years experience tho
With AI supplementing special skills, that might change.
specialising is often underplayed these days as a lot more generalists appear, but it's still vital for a high end career
Except at the highest level, I think jacks have more potential to succeed with AI tools.
Assuming they keep educating and improving themselves.
well yeah. If someone is in a salary based contract and is doing grindwork from 9-5 (we all know its more) everyday, then they don't have time to really delve into learning it all. It's a lot right now with the standards still being built. A JOAT can find the time
Indeed. We must constantly learn, or at least pretend to do so.
Like I pretend to work. โ
I saw someone in my local area, which is super deprived, asking about where they can go to learn A.I. in the local area. There is literally nowhere so I guided him on a path towards Python and Llama 3 agents. But why there isn't anywhere to go learn this stuff academically (or barely anyway) is beyond me. Academia should be streamlining people into areas of basic A.I. development at the very least in terms of the more computer and scientific based subjects.
"AI is used almost everywhere, believes Violet, a game developer and technical artist." The tech artists giving a shit
Idk I'm not fan of AI so
Honestly the biggest proponents to A.I. in game dev should be the tech artists. It's also their job to introduce the tech in a way that is complimentary to their processes and requirements. Thats the point of a tech artist right?
Got many request on Twitter about some people asking me to try AI tools
basically ignored all those
would you use the Motion Matching in Unreal if you needed to though?
In India, the government introduced an online platform; I think it's called FreeSkills Prime or some such. You can register for and learn about AI and modern tech there.
A lot of it is free, if I recall, but I might be wrong about that.
Tech Artists is too wild this days, there is people self proclamed tech artist that don't know how to code anything
And just claim to be as they cleanup models
They don't even know to do shaders
it's all in the sigma grindset
well there are different uses for tech artists I guess. Some are code based, some are art tool based. some are a bit of everything
They might be employed by CrowdStrike.
I have no issues if the team want to use AI to boost some workflows
But I feel like in many cases end like when someone want to get a pack from the marketplace and the artists and tech artists end investing more time cleaning up that
This is correct. Ultimately, quality control will always be a major part of the process.
People are incorrectly assuming they can bypass it entirely.
I mean there is cases, say some tech, like upscaling etc and that yeah sure
But, they will be less successful than proper product presenters.
I'm not against of new techs, just about how they are used or the final real purpose etc
There are points of creative necessity in art where the human will beat AI everytime. Especially in cultural or social references. But yeah the point and click macro nature of upscaling is basically a batchable task and should be offloaded to the quickest process for efficiency.
I mean AI can beat humans on every specific area, as just machines does and we use them for
Sadly it never was about that
Yet still waiting to see if any AI can upscale a dammit world satellite image properly
People fear what they don't understand and it doesn't help when even the top tier of architects of AI tell us to fear it. But it's good to have the discussion about AI boundaries in terms of financial variation for whomever's time is less needed.
To be fair Hevedy, it depends on the resolution of the satellite image. If it's too low then it has to upscale a fairly large area with no information. But if it was cross referenced with higher resolution sections then it could easily fill it in.
france uses ai on satelite images to see people who illegaly installed swimming pool lol
They must be looking for those doubloons that sunk with their Spanish Galleons in those swimming pools.
You know, the Backyard Naval Wars of 571
It is illegal to have pool?
Bet spain will follow
no
why not just make the pool look like a roof design?
where can i dump a single html file to get it available public?
but you need a permit + you need to pay taxes
indoor pool might be a thing too
Who pays taxes anyway
still need a permit to build something with a roof in most cases
dropbox, gdrive, etc
dropbox, google drive, onedrive?
Soon we will have taxes per cm of poop you deposit
put a big mirror on top of the pool that focuses a high intensity beam of light back up at the spot where the satellite comes over so it blindspots it
Or some of the typical file sharing websites with sus content.
you mean avaible to view as webpage?
Why you don't render it to pdf and then to png.
this is top google result https://static.app/html-file-upload
you can check cloudconvert.com
Unless the file is confidential.
I've never used it
yea that's what i have open right now, but for that the file must be hosted somewhere
I mean, it is by default the ability to print in the browser.
i need it pixel perfect as it's for some texture
Na just the borders etc, want to make a x4 or so, looks like trash
Ooookay, pixel perfect webpage generator of PNGs... things get deep.
You can upload it?
I do belive printing is pixel perfect, for now.
welcome.
That'll be $50.
plus taxes
Maxon? ๐ค C4D?
Indeed.
๐
maxthon browser*
more like maxon zbrush
Curse dem
lol, true they bought it
I'm still on my old perp license
I just buy a month at a time if/when I need it for a bit
I didn't know you got a license for being a perpetrator
Since Maxon bought them, they went straight subscription.
Do not remind me.
For a time, there was a BIG problem in getting my ZBrushCore license migrated.
Their portal was simply bugged, but they finally fixed it. ๐
This fucking subscriptiongs
I was lucky, yeah. I don't have to subscribe.
I mean they have to do it or else it's bye bye. even substance painter was financed by adobe before they bought it
I don't endorse the sub model. If they wanted, they could have instead went to paid updates or something.
When you directly transform prices from dollars
So, no, there is other ways to save the biz.
lol
yearly licenses with extra steps ๐
Professional mobile
Perpetual isn't a thing anymore
Maybe it has ads.
I know that it is less common, but it is still an option for some tools.
say UV, landscaping and prolly others which I have to think about ๐ค
Ah, Affinity e.g.
Cant wait for ad supported UE5
It's funny how all the webs that used to be nice are ruined now
Textures websites without free per day tickets etc now, music ones that don't allow games use anymore
watch this ad to disable plugin
Just wait for the FREE and subcriber version of brain chip-based software.
If you don't pay, you only get 25% vision.
For the rest, fork over the monthly sub. ๐
Needs first eye tracking software.
cant we just go back to shockwave flash ๐
cgtextures ๐
dont need any of that if you just grow sheep in the mountains
my retirement plan
but can the eye tell what the heart wants ๐
In fact, animals in the future won't listen to you one whit if you can't brain chip connect with them.
The entire Welsh nation just panicked in unison ๐
You need just to watch more.
Probably in happiness, because with brain chips everyone can finally understand them. ๐
Someone reached the final depth of Delve in Path of Exile last night. As it's limited to a 16-bit integer on the depth generation he hit the cap. 2 hours before the league ended. So it took him 3 months.
yeah insane is more the word I'd use
And was it an arc build?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't hardcore
in fact I know it wasnt because i kept seeing his name come up in the chat when he hit a new record
16bit int... what is this windows 95
Elon the Musk said Optimus would release publicly in 2026.
So, if we can connect to our robot slav... er, friends with our brain chips, we can finally bring Mortal Kombat to our reality.
Join us.
Elon says alot of things, so far Nostradamus has been right more often ๐
J O II NNNN USSSSS.
That's when he gets political.
And the main reason he's full of shit is because he is bringing his anger over his son's estrangement to the political arena.
He said as much in an interview recently.
But, his products are a different matter.
isn't that the guy with 12 kids and 5 companies?
I'll toss X out, because he bought it for political purposes.
And his politics are based on his feelings.
and Neuralink.
there we go
Heiro archer, huh?
Interesting.
xAI
I'm not sure. I haven't ran a bleed-splosion build for years but I'm noticing Lacerate is going to be the meta. So I'm not sure. Melee is ok sometimes but it's a grind on first char
last melee I really enjoyed was a Chaos Vaal Molten Shell build with dual Poet's Pen. It would just absolutely wreck everything so bad they nerfed the entire build out of existence. They don't normally do that, rather they nerf appropriately. But this went full exit mode. Poet's Pens were barely ever used again
I am thinking of creating a hyper defence gladiator. It'll be my first one.
Needs money for breakfast
Isnt cult of personality exactly what got him where he is lol
well considering you can get 90% block and top it up with evasion or armour (or both if you can get lucky) then if you are hitting 75% evasion and 60-80% armour then you should be unkillable by almost everything except Sirius's meteor splash
Self-analysis, mission impossible.
By the way, they changed the gladiator's base shield block chance to 50% ascendancy. They removed the word 'base'. So, nothing on the shield can change the 50% block chance in anyway whatsoever.
ahh so no 90% block
and it's also not like trumpism was not a cult last month
well then no im not going that route. I'll stick to Champ
Thats not a winning attitude ๐
I think the passive nodes on the skill tree and other equipment still work.
Just not the shield itself.
Swordstorm hits enemies 8 times. I guess it's a good way to apply bleed multiple times with the right nodes.
Said for the richest man.
Best cartoons
That dude was the inspiration to be tech artist

this man was single father, wasnt ?
99% of the stuff I want to do creatively is basically inspired by the same old childhood shows lol https://youtu.be/awxKPdqLHGE?si=3Xi08I580Lt5pBmb

Johan Kwak's longtime friend Henk (mole) is a nice guy. On one spring day, he introduces Johan to Anna, and the two fall in love with each other for ever. Anna lays some eggs in the course of nature, and they name the first child "Alfred" after Henk's great-grandfather.

Well this sounds better than the english one for sure
I never heard the english
this one was also good https://youtu.be/_JTmAhKIfxU
Waterschapsheuvel (1999) is het verhaal van een familie konijnen, die op aansporen van de stille zonderling Hazeltje en de helderziende Vijfje wordt aangemaand om de thuis in Sandleford te verlaten omdat er groot gevaar dreigt. Een deel van de groep neemt Vijfjes visioen ernstig en vertrekt. De rest wordt het slachtoffer van projectontwikkelaars...
This was also the best https://youtu.be/1CoC2yL-f1I?si=GsadZX5ZvczbwaaZ but they never completed the series i believe
Full series can view the videa.
that one was so fooking strange to me, never liked it
sounds like a skill issue
theres the problem, they need you to give them a personal video walkthrough tutorial for babies
Wait LSAT? Is that just to enter college? I think everyone who takes the regular SAT places out of that?
Nvm. Law School Admissions test
so we had another 1 hour meeting and they're not gonna use it after all...
why did you do that
surely a good legal representative would have convinced the invigilators that the score was under-represented by the stress of the situation and extra points should be added for wasting the court's time.
oh was this suppose to be a marketing meeting ..
no
if you are an engineer, you probably shouldnt have even been present ..
we are good at answering questions truthfully and clearly, and then no one buys it
I'm not selling anything lol
it's internal
another team wanting to use our services
I'm involved since I'm the tech lead of our team
services .. like as a contractor .. or like software/web service?
as in web service
tech lead = no time to make tech, only time for meetings
not too far from the truth
do you guys have scrum masters lol and agile dev buzzwords
of course
yikes
Scrum masters๐
scum masters
WHY DOES THAT EMOJI EXIST LOL
yes, make me into one
I don't have the power
true, im not digitizable
that's not me
