anyway, if it fails, I'll likely just iterate it until I find something better. Might even try fix the EA totem build
yeah melee is going to feel a lot better for damage and survivability this league. It's the only reason I'm gonna check it out. Because if you build right, it doesn't feel like melee anyway with a bit of range to the attacks
I was thinking Ground Slam might be a solid mapper over SST
I have my go-to Consecrated Path + Chain Hook Chieftain, but I wanted to try out the bleed mechanic before reverting to my usual flame god build.
Wtf is EA totem build?
Explosive Arrow Ballista Totem build.
You spawn totems that throw explosive arrows around, making everything explode.
The only MTX I bought for cosmetic reasons is my Ballista totem skin ๐ฆ
I did splurge on a nice white panther and a butterfly pet.
Other than that, almost everything has been a Twitch drop.
I earned a bunch of the years from challenges, and I have some you can't get anymore because of old leagues. So I'm happy with that
Why is it these parkour videos never do anything even remotely impressive?
You just don't understand.
Interesting parkour is interesting. These guys are just running and doing low grade gymnastics.
But... AssCreed
That's cool, yes, but the parkour was boring and uninspired.
They probably didn't want to risk dying.
It's a minor inconvenience, I've heard.
But, let's not give them ideas.
I liked the parkour in day light 2
my fav parkour moment was when my friend tried it and ran face first into the wall cause he froze up at the last second
See, now that's an interesting parkour.
He's not just jumping over a wall which anybody in 1st grade can do.
cheezus f ms, I can never be such github nerd
That's kinda interesting. Good use of the bars!
I don't know what happened after the debates between parkour and freerunning, but that seems like a counterproductive maneuver.
dakesh check the playlist from the video i linked
The asscreed one?
yeah
It's no showing as part of a playlist!
the description have playlist
or was it in they comment
I squeaky joint just appeared in my knee, I don't like this update
is that a bluetooth lib?
Maaaayyte
Now add digimon
shiela lmao
Whoever is animating thousand year blood war can choke and die
Been almost a year since last episode
Who was the one that purchased the Humble Bundle ?
I just read this on the market:
"To Humble Bundle Users
If you had purchased the 'Humble Bundle', I'm afraid that you can't receive the regular upgrade."
You get a different version wtf
idk because looked for it and he removed the post
@zinc matrix the blender bundle gives you the zip files or the actual items ?
some of the devs claim you cannot get updates
"Humble says there will be no updates for the addons: "Future updates to these items are not included". This is sad. With the current Blender updates speed these addons might get obsolete pretty fast. It doesn't make much sense to me to purchase the bundle in this case. The details are here:"
not getting it aside if you want the 3d models
You are selling addons that won't be able to be used next week ?
better wait then to the blender market discounts
worst part is they don't list this anywhere
you have to go in deep
people is posting about it because they didn't warn about this
why can't i just plug in the printer and hit print? why it has to be so damn complicated?? dear future printer developers, pls make it easy for us ๐
no, you have to login
and use an app
no printing would be the least of one's worry
No internet - you'd have to go outside or something
@fathom wadi I just sent a shipment worth 2,000 points off to Riben Fell. How's your playthrough coming along?
I just woke up after a power nap. I didn't get much done last night really. Think I only ended up in Act 5 before I passed out. Not my usual day 1 rush but I don't mind because I'm playing a different build than usual.
Did you see the numbers on Lightning strike with the ridiculous ele penetration ?
Hope you're well-rested. ๐
No. I haven't used it. But, I did use the Divine Retribution retaliation skill and yeah, it clears a fair bit of the area around me quite reliably.
one shot numbers
dont think it will tbh
its not the only build that gets silly numbers but it's not as effective as it sounds. It's effective, yes. But it's too effective. Often the only need for dps numbers like that is uber maven or sirus or uberuber exarch
By the way, I don't know if it was there last league, but I started using upscaling this league. It's working out quite well.
There IS the occasional total freeze, but the game simply unfreezes itself after two seconds. The GGG discord server says, "Try using a different renderer." ๐คฃ
But, it's rare.
yeah it wasnt there last league. I noticed it because my PoE defaulted to borderless window mode and was dumping pure heat in 4K. Nice addition really because my GPU is like 8 years old now so I dont want it whirring like a tractor to play games ๐
Speaking of, my GPU and CPU shed 10C with upscaling.
They are quite happy at 67 and 60C right now.
yeah mine was way more
I do have absolutely spot on cooling in my system but 4K is too much for a 1080ti fans without replacement. So I know when my pc is running 4K because my leg gets so warm its like sitting next to a fire ๐
dude when it's winter here (which can be in summer too because its England) I don't need to put on my heating. My PC does it. It's like an Icelandic volcano redirected as a radiator
I am at level 30 right now, using Reeve and two claws. I am blocking fairly well, at 40% blocking rate and melee feels good tbh. I haven't been one-shotted yet, although there was that one time where it ALMOST happened, in a ritual altar.
yeah ritual can get tasty
especially if you have killed a shifty mob inside and it respawns each node
Crushing Fist retaliator is basically a meme skill. The animations are great. Swordstorm is quite nice, actually.
I imagine these retaliation skills will go quite nicely with any build that maximises AoE.
level 30 so you should be around act 4 or 5 now?
Act 4, yes. But, I finally decided to stop, because I have to finish the next chapter of my book. ๐
ah
It's almost done, but work must be dones when it must be dones.
GGG did a nice job with the gold drops. You get money quite frequently, so the town doesn't have to starve.
yeah no. It's Path of Exile league weekend. The world stops or else !
i wonder what weird things @empty dune is doing right now
are you making 4k textures again?
I make 3.9k textures and leave the rest to their imagination
For the ellipses, I am sure.
That's bad. 3,999px is the requirement.
You only get to be lazy for 1px.
several times actually ๐ญ
I wonder how much I'll get for a 2,000 points shipment.
If it's arse equipment, I'll curse GGG.
did you buy any microtransactions this league?
No.
then it will be dog poop
๐
Ngakanu gives currency for each shipment, as far as I have seen.
Riben Fell has given equipment so far.
But, all my shipments have been 200 points. So, this is the first one that is 2,000.
Another ten minutes to reward.
I remember testing this theory once because it was a meme. I hadn't bought mtx for about 2 years. So I buy a bunch of stuff, spend around ยฃ50. That league was my second most profitable league after Ancestors.
Hehe. I remember getting two exalted orbs during the breach league, the very first time I played PoE, within 10 minutes of starting.
I then immediately used BOTH exalteds.
It took me a LONG time to learn that they were vaunted currencies.
๐คฃ
harsh. I saw a guy get convinced into using a mirror on a white item once
Yikes.
For those who don't know, mirror is Mirror of Kalandra, a VERY expensive currency item in PoE
this is kinda why I dont play in teams. When POE started, the loot wasn't locked like it is now. It was old school, first come first served. So if a mirror dropped and you didn't click fast enough, tough tiddies.
funny thing happened to me this league. Well not funny, more typical. Every league for the last 7 leagues I've needed a Quill Rain short bow to level with and I never find it. So I have to find 2c and buy it. This league I find on but I doin't need it, and it didn't sell because nobody is playing EA anymore ๐
๐คฃ
Isn't like this today? The IT from the nearby office got a call in the morning from a courier and look at it, the printer has ordered toner for itself.
huh, really? mouse settings on what? A tablet?
eww...
hell, no, instant no to that vendor
@summer cedar My mtx atm. Nothing special but the boots are Rigwald's Boots. As I played Ranger for like the first 6 years, I thought it best to honour the best ranger of all time by wearing his boots after I folded him up like a pretzel
Pretty! Magi-Knight!
its the angelic set with demon horns ๐
the mask is from another set too tho
its literally the only game where I cared about cosmetics a little besides Overwatch because I wanted the mythic Moira skin as its my main
I want a menagerie of pets to drag along on my adventures.
A lion, three tigers, four panthers, two butterflies, three sparrows, and maybe an eagle.
That'd do.
And damn, you can only have two pets at any time.
๐
go roll a zoomancer then ๐
I did consider going for zoomancer this league. Last minion build I played was the Baron build when it worked properly. That was about 4 years ago tho, maybe more.
I think when I am a successful dev, I'll probably buy their entire mtx shop for kicks.
But, by then, there'd probably be PoE 2 or 3.
๐
I'd love to work at GGG on PoE. In my opinion it's the best game of all time. Not only in terms of gameplay, but the development cycle and success rate of what they pull off. It beggars belief for a free game.
I see no voxels here...
you have to like arpgs bigtime and put the time into the game I think. Most people who like arpgs want the more simple game style like Diablo 3 and 4. But PoE gives that in terms of mechanical gameplay, but the journey to the min/max build is the real magic. I like to do maths when I play games.
Is that game really an RPG tho? Do you make some kind of choices and influence the story in sensible way? ๐ค
Looks like looter hack&slash
well only once really in the whole storyline do you choose options that change anything really. But thats just a stat choice really.
it's not an rpg in the storyline sense of changing things, rather it's an action rpg where the story is already told but you are what changes.
what PoE has that really keeps it going is an economic system of tiering. So you can start the game completely broke, when you find your first Chaos Orb, you go up a tier. When you find your first build enabling unique you can use it or sell it to go up a tier. When you find you first Divine Orb, you go up a tier. etc. So the trading game is a huge part. For those who play SSF and don't trade, it's all about getting those same tier upgrades without the easy route.
Yeah, I see. Might be a picky definition, especially with the mainstream approach. To me an RPG is more about influencing the narrative of the world from first person. Combined with some basic stat/item management ofc.
well there are flavours for sure. It would be nice to see an ARPG with a more complex story which twists the capabilities of the character builds. So if you wanted to go for a specific build you would need to sway the story to allow you. Not sure if people would like that in an ARPG though. It would become more of an mmorpg in that sense.
they should probably change the name of ARPG to FISTYFISTYBEATFIST
I think the attraction here is the looting and hacking/slashing/burning shit through. So, an arpg will be something else, like uu..hmm... Dragon Age or from top-down... maybe Divinity Original Sin or something like that.
Historically, I think the term has stuck somewhat since when that all was mixed back then.
well you are role playing and it is a game. I think the license to call it that is fair. The Action part is signifying the lack of story arc manipulation so people know what they are getting. It's definitely the looting and crafting and power creep and trade economy that keeps these games popular though. When you make a game where there is more to do than a person can do, there are mentalists like me who will sit like a pig in mud and do the maths on how to get that extra 0.05% strength boost or sell the most fools gold ๐
Action does not imply absence of story manip, I tried to give examples. But frankly, enough nitpicking on the term. To comment on the other stuff, my bro is such a power gamer, I think he played a lot that game too. Most of his explanations went through my ears tho.
its hard to explain PoE in terms of story. It's more like a dream after ayhuasca than a regular coherent story
I mean, one minute you are fighting religious despotism, the next you are crawling through the anal tract of a beast to kill a maniac with wings and tentacles as a woman kills herself on a spike and you climb into the sphincter for the battle. THen it turns into political corruption, then spies, then finally to the metaverse where it goes a bit more "this a final boss and her henchmen" kinda thing.
Well, the RPG elements are arguably enhanced this league.
There's an entire town that develops according to your whim.
Literally.
I guess with town building but it's just a skin over other mechanics really. I wouldn't put it in the same category
I would, because the agency belongs to the player. You don't have to upgrade anything if you don't want to. You can just run a little hamlet, or go for a big city. You also have to fight the bosses that attack your city from time to time.
That's akin to Pathfinder.
It's more RPG than it was before, definitely.
You also get to make two story choices, if I recall. There's the Irasha-old guy choice, which dictates the fate of the town. And there's one more.... I forget which one.
I think you mentioned it already, Marc. Yeah, the bandits' fate.
yea but what do you get for building the town? Access to the same mechanics as were previously there really. With a new UI to produce the final loot. Every league GGG has to come up with a new way to give us the loot, with a bit of a reduction for the first week to get balancing right, but it only leads to a. more currency. b. more crafting bench options and throws in a bit of a new feel to the grind
They will continue to add all kinds of content there, lol. Like these old tv shows which continue for years and even the screen writers have no idea what will happen next month.
In POE's system though it has been handled centrally with Chris Wilson and his brother over the years
True, but they can't really add anything else without taking away from the MMO element at the end-game. They won't add more campaign, because PoE 2.
its just incoherent because it's meant to be I think ๐
Speaking of PoE 2, did you see the new boss HP bar in PoE 1?
I like it.
I wish it was the same for most of the mini-orange bosses too, but I can see why that'd be tough.
yeah HP-Widescreen edition
Ok, so 2,000 point shipments get you several currency items, at least one unique, and another equipment, along with two rune types.
That seems consistent.
sounds like a bubblegum loot system. Which is kind of what I thought a fire and forget system would do. Nothing amazing, but nothing terrible. Hopefully with the option to land something every now and again. I hope they don't make it drop divines like Sanctum though. But if they do, they are time-limiting the drop rates so they would be able to fix any issues
Sanctum is literally a divine printing machine though. And once you get the hang of it, it's practically impossible to fail unless you go on a blind run
So far, I haven't received any Chaos Orbs or above currencies.
But, I can't say whether they'd start dropping at 4,000 points.
so you must be farming a lot of ore to get that much on a shipment. But at level 30 you can't be finding all the ores yet?
what is your shipping rank?
My shipping rank's 3. You need the four crew members to ensure a 0 risk 2,000 point shipment.
Right now, my shipments are made up of crops, which are very high value, OR a combination of a few crops, a few ores, and a few smelted bars.
I am still playing with orichalum and crimson ore, though. The unrefined amber is just lying there, waiting for me to eventually upgrade the smithies to process them.
yeah Ive not even unlocked crops yet. I see Isla stood around too
Before I sleep tonight, I need to dump 1,500 gold coins in the treasury, or my lazy villagers will be lounging around the village well, drinking booze and dirty water when I wake up in the morning.
Thats pretty much the summation of the town I live in.
I can't understand why that is necessary now. I mean the obvious optimisation of gameplay loops would dictate the best spot for max level, but they already changed it from 100 exponential XP, to 70 + almost unlimited paragon, to 100 with a non-exponential XP, and now to 60? It's absolutely mind boggling levels of not knowing wtf they are doing. Don't even get me started on Loot 8.0
Idk but that guy in the thumbnail looks like a professional meth addict that decided to do YT as a side gig ๐
heh yeah. The guy is a legend though.
Yeah usually works for many versions so
I didn't know that there was a word called 'judder', referring to mechanical objects shaking and shivering rapidly.
You learn something new every day.
They did release a new thing on 4.2, they don't ?
Think its still worth getting that blender pack? I was thinking about it but now I'm not sure. Tho I dont tend to update blender very often except for major releases
and with IGN shutting down humble games, how long before they shut down humble bundle too....
I either use zbrush decimate or the retopo in 3dsmax, but it mostly rocks I do. About half the time no auto retopo will work and i have to bite the bullet and do it in maya by hand
I got retopoflow for free in blendermarkets 10th anniversary giveaway. But I just make good top in the first place and I have only sculpted once to make candles so it's not been necessary there :/
I did think it would be super useful for sculpting though and I always plan on making a character face from scratch
Well it depends, you can download all the assets
But notice after the 4.2 maybe all ends working
the assets I dont really care about much. But I think there was a tutorial series in there I think would be good for me. And the tools of course.
the timing of the bundle isnt great for me, I'm not quite ready for switching over to asset creation...
On 4.2 yes
Why do you want such level of detail, lol
Damm I'm almost like Hideo Kojima, but more like Hidden Kojima, all the post are gone into the void
Wondering why
Maybe lost my sexapeal
What? Which posts?
Ah... Maybe Musk hates u

Chapter of what?
Ember Tell, my book.
https://ags.guru/ags-home/ember-tell-novel - you can find links from here.
I haven't put it on Amazon yet, because Kindle Shorts isn't available in India AND KDP accepts complete books only. Well, I COULD game their system, but it's not worth it except for reserving one's titles.
So are the fbx exporters nice or what

sorry
but can someone please recommend me an app where i can write notes or something on my coding or like unreal stuff so i can refer to when i forgot what to do?
oh will this do? is this a good app to recommend?
oh i have to pay =x
i use something called nuclino, it does almost everything to an acceptable degree and it is very cheap imo. There's also a feature limited perpetual free trial
thanks! i will look into that.
@broken sigil new shooting session

is there something that can help remove all the shitty bloatware that my computer has?
You should grow plants sometime then
with plants, im midas but instead of turning things into gold, it turns them dead
Just neglect them
Babying them will always kill plants
Plants and animals know how to take care of themselves
Except my dumb ass cats that use my bed as a litter box and their litter box as a bed
Dumbass fucking things like that need to be babied
Are you talking about issue tracking? There are shitton of these, if you use github, you may use its tracking features and pages (docs/blogs) features.
which one do you use?
Jira
Github, gitlab, others... is all fine.
You need a place to write down tasks and follow up on them, linking these with the repo/code is what you need.
Those are really nice, the 2nd one is great 
I haven't really taken pictures of anything recently
Except this gigantic bastard outside my door that I have no clue what it is
If anyone here doesn't like giant bugs take my advice and don't open the images
Here is a nicer picture instead ๐
What os?
It's a damn beetle apparently lol
Well I could have told you it was a beetle. ๐
it's gigantic lol
but it's apparently completely harmless
it sure doesn't look like it
Harmless to you
yes, that's the only part I care about ๐

best AA I have seen
What a cute dog ๐
That one is real good
somesay there will be gigantic blue manny
Is there a stat about how many user of Steam have the Deck ?
nah, that beetle takes dominance, and you are going to be their pet
oh yeah i know these fuckers, they shit some kinda acidic stuff at you and it REALLY hurts
Kill on sight
i got tired of lumen's bullshit and just turned it off. instant +50 fps
look at this shit, it was 30 before
im pretty sure its capping out at 90 because thats what i set the fps limit to be
what kind of potato are you running?
1650ti
ah. thats why.
I'm only on a 3060, and my game is 60-70. Which is still not great...
you havent seen the scene im running, why did you assume its a potato lol
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
I've been using lumen for everything since I switched to 5.x and the only time I had any issues was one outdoor scene where I had megascans foliage painted everywhere
oh i didnt switch off lumen because of performance reasons, that gain was a byproduct
i switched it off because of the god awful flickering shadows
the flickering is annoying
lumen apparently doesnt like emissive materials. guess what the primary lighting in my game is
my project is currently lit 100% by emissive mats...
thats where your flickering is coming from
DFAO does NOT like emissives from what ive read
i set the final gather quality to like 45 and it only helped like 50%
but that tanked the fps by like 20
easy enough for me to change to pointlights later on, but I'll worry about tweaking that when I get to working on the world again
if I do. feelin burnt out and lost with my project...
im sadly stuck with emissives. point lights just dont have the oomph to it when trying to make a giant ball look like a sun
yeah, cause you need the surface to look super bright...
could be faked with mats tho couldnt it? then the light-casting by a point light with the radius of your object?
there's also this really weird grainy appearance to the light spread. i cant understand why
if the sun is on screen, just toggle a white-overlay on your players screen
wouldnt that affect every single light source in the game?
lmao
wait ill show you what it looks like up close XD
(youre not supposed to reach that close to the balls, there's a kill box around it)
lol
the aura stuff off it looks neat. the ball itself is kinda bland. But like you said, shouldnt ever get close to it
there's two balls actually, the first is the blinding blue one, the second is the dim orange one
but yeah, players will never get that close to see the difference, it looks fine from the first planet onwards and farther
this is the around the first planet orbit
i think ill have to make the dimmer sun more smol
yeah ill have to make the second one smoller
2nd pic looks cool
yeah, i just noticed, the lens flares blended well with the nebula. funny thing is i just dropped the spawn point randomly close to the first orbit and took the screenshot
it came out surprisingly well
@solemn shore boop
Len Flares have huge cost depending of the starting point
managed to get 30ms once
Hostile Mars
It's a tower defence style game. The demo is out on Steam for a limited time.
I mean the dudes of Satisfactory did this year's ago and nailed it
That's how everything started
Problem is there is already many on this same formula
oh. i think i mis-read or something cos i saw a subscription deal. okie nvm i will go for obsidian then hahaha ty
marvel is back!
I thought this was a joke the fist I saw this
I guess marvel brok the glass and gave RDJ a giant bag
yeah i know, the movies suck lol
Win 11
Does it increase or decrease with distance? The cost i mean
No, just the amount %
Ah, its very low % in my case
I forgot the value, something like 0.1 something
A piece of the action from Hostile Mars.
The second screenie is a bit dim, because I just died and the screen was blacking out.
This is with Potato graphics settings and shadows turned off. There are 1,000 robots spawned on the screen.
It's a GTX 970M. The game hasn't crashed even once. ๐
But, it probably will soon. The SMG ammo patch just went live and I'll push to wave 40 now.
There'll be close to 4,000 bots on the screen. Bye, bye game. ๐
yeah, they'd love for you to pay them some money, but you probably saw their hosting/remote backup stuff. as ACuppa said, no need to pay a penny. i consider it worth supporting though, through at least their one time purchase for commercial/insider/supporter stuff. sorry, that really did not need to be a ping. did not look at the original messages timestamp.
๐คฃ
nono dont apologize. im being honest, i like when people ping me with this type of stuff hahaha so i could learn better.
you're right, if i use this app for more than a month and im liking it, i will definitely donate! I dont think i need the hosting stuff because these notes are just for me ๐ but i will donate them though if i like using it for more than a month
Apparently openai is losing 700k daily for chatgpt and if they don't suddenly start making profit they might go bankrupt within 12 months (according to analytics)

Obsidian mentioned, activating worldbuilding.exe
funny how each one pronounces "engine" totally differently
then the people makes fun when I do lol
not even the translator says it correctly it looks like
the website doesnt work and theres 3 github links in search results but none are actually called bloat nosey
Obsidian sync can be useful, say for syncing notes across devices.
Personally I don't pay though. I use a GitHub repo that I push to on PC, and use M-GIT for pulling and pushing on android.
Tried using a Linux distro for that on android but it really doesnt like writing to ~/storage/emulated.
MGIT works great tho
Winpilot is a continuation
interestingly enough it doesnt want to remove the HP bloatware

hi
is there some sort of AI or something that can help my stupidity abit? haha like i just want to know what does "virtual void " means and something similar for example and this AI will just explain to me
googling really not helping with this simple question ๐ฆ because they're like exeggerating their answers and so many links. I just wanna know what this simple code means, thats all ๐ญ
probably because virtual and void aren't really related
a void function, is a function that doesn't return anything
an int function, is a function that returns an int
Virtual at the beginning of a function means the function is expected to be overridden in a child class
Anyway, just because a function is virtual doesn't mean the parent can't have it's own logic within that function.
I'm also the furthest thing from a cpp expert, so you should ask questions like this here #cpp

i lived in a place once that had 40C avg temperatues during the day. The moment the shower stopped id start sweating and before i could even dry myself id need another shower

Sadly thereโll be more and more of those places every year that goes by
Yeah that's pretty accurate here. You get out the shower and start sweating again 10 minutes later.
Oh man it's like illegal to not have working ac here as a landlord

Landlords that fix things right away? Unheard of
No but it is a desert 
Restaurants/gas stations etc, cannot legally deny homeless water here 
They literally keep dying from heat exhaustion
ah yes, when people are nice because they are forced to by the law
how beautiful
Ikr
also while we are on the topic, whats with all these anti homeless spikes on the road these days???
The lawsuit you'll be sent otherwise is pretty motivating
you really wasted tax payer money just to put useless spikes on roads to do what exactly? be an asshole?
In India?
Donโt they live in those erm shanty towns or whatever theyโre called
oh there's various levels of homelessness here
these spikes are usually to "deter" the worst of the poverty stricken ones
like, just shove that money into the wellfare schemes instead of useless spikes
lol i was wondering why rendering just 50 icons was taking a whole minute. i forgot to downscale the normal and roughness maps๐

Yeh I left Jasper park the day before the wildfire swept through
thankfully the town is still...there....
(for the non-canadians: that little dot west of Edmonton burned down 1/3rd of a little mountain town

Yeah the town is our own little tourist attraction
Good thing we packed up and left a day early cause weโd have been stranded on the wrong side of the Rockies
Each year the same

today's lesson, don't leave old landmass brush managers around to eat 4GB of vram while doing nothing
brush managers ? whats that
oh the procedural landscape layers system ?
what did happen exactly ?
yep the landscape layers system. its used for unreal's water system, and i had experimented with that at some point
and somehow i had two of them
its a very large worldpartition landscape-- render resource manager showed that each of them owned 4 512MB render textures ๐ฅฒ
they were doing absolutely nothing for this level
oh wait. so if i were to transfer to a new pc, i need to do that? just wondering.
Well 512mb textures are normal there
Need a copy of the landscapes I bet
Once you package don't think that happen anymore
won't happen in editor either any more ๐ ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
i don't use that system, i hate it
I love how the editor saving gets stuck everytime there as the editor is minimized
you can set the editor to no go into background priority when minimized

where is the microtransaction?
true the mushroom should be a DLC
mushroom armor you mean
Well not necessarily. You could keep them on a flash drive or just copy them over. I do this because I frequently edit the same notes on multiple devices.

Welp... no Apex for me today, the edge of my nail digged into my finger yesterday while I was playing and my finger looks like a balloon now ๐คฃ
And it's super painful
basically...
jeez, next time sterilize it.
Simple, yet deep.
playing apex is a dangerous sport
jeez f again, why you cut so much of your nails? Start sterilzing it, you may need to poke it with a needle to get the bad bacteria out or you risk to descend even further in the finger hell.
hold ur horses
that looks a little too tanned

hey now... I only ever posted hands....
So... when feet?
if thats what his hands look like i dont think i wanna know about the feet

I've always been cutting them like that ๐
didn't think it wasn't supposed be cut like that lol
win explorer can fuk off and Microsoft can go bankrupt for all I care.
I just found that in my file manager when I rename a file, I can just ctrl down to get a list of my most recent renames.
wait what?
When I press F2 to inline rename a file.
- If I press the up/down buttons I just move the inline rename to the next file.
- However, if I ctrl + up/down it shows a small list under the inline rename with my most recent renames I did, so I can just choose one and edit it afterwards, e.g.
concept-1- you then just change that last number.
Anyway, ๐ค
Read the top row โฌ๏ธ
It is not a feature of Win explorer, the fukin multi billion corp which can't make a shit of file manager.
Proudly using different ones since the 90s
Well, sometimes we meet people like some of my colleagues which use a dinosaur like midnight commander
I just use win explorer like a pleb
Its fine, I'm pooing on MS not on the choice of the others.
You wait to post that, huh? I already used something similar before ๐ผ
so why use a different file manager?
I was gonna write that lol

gwah. 2 days left. Should I buy the blender pack, yes or no!?
:question: Should I buy the blender humble bundle pack?
:8ball: Signs point to yes.
yeah I did, they did suggest it'd be good anyway
I dont update blender very often
and goddamnit, I gotta make a blender market account?
alrighty. Started downloading one of the tutorial thingies. I'm tired. I shoulda done this when more awake
I'm off to bed ๐ฆ
I dont get it
In engine chrome?
Am I not one stupid mf... Github approved to restore my account and gave me new recovery codes, so I went to store them securely. And what I see, I already have stored there my prev codes. This whole shit was useless. (โฏยฐโกยฐ๏ผโฏ๏ธต โปโโป
at least your consistent about where you put them
is it this thing? https://github.com/AchetaGames/Epic-Asset-Manager
wouldn't be surprised if it's broken by API changes maybe
you know, if it could just list out the files of an asset that would be a killer feature
I can't believe epic launcher can't just do that instead of making me guess what overlap there is between two assets
it does have the data, and i think it was exposed to the UI at some point
the asset manager from acheta, not Epic's shitshow of launcher
well thats nice
i do remember it being in epic launcher indirectly in a stupid way in the past
now it seems entirely lost-- epic launcher only goes backwards
well i think its not entirely true, you can now ctrl+click (or is it shift+click) links in unreal marketplace to open them in the browser...
and then you get this fucking thing
note the URL
so you can open it in the browser from the store, but then you have to URL hack it to have Add to cart / wishlist / vault / etc
its impressively dumb
blueprint macros: a crime to organized visual code
Not gonna fix*
sure but the standardmacros dont look much better
You are not supposed to open those
xDD
smh im running source build
it's haunting me for ~3 days now
Technically when those were made we didn't had reroute nodes
and brains neither
ah the ancient times of 4.1x or before
And the local vars are a nightmare to call
Are you calling me old?

hey I was technically using UE after learning it in summer camp in 5th grade, that was before 2014 when it became free
UE4 was released on 2014,became free in 2015
Prior 2014 was the beta rocket
If I remember correctly
Or it was 1 year before, now I'm unsure
hm mustve been during the beta then? was before 2015 I know
but I thought it became free in '14 lol
oop my macro aint gonna work, cant have two different wildcard types
are you trying to make a foreach macro for tmap?
perhaps
perhaps that exists... somewhere... perhaps
if bp macros could be made in cpp perhaps, or i can just iterate on keys...
of course they can, enjoy custom thunks
can customthunks implement something like a loop body node?
which get's executed several times by the function? (with different payload)
my gut* says yes, but the fact that they did the loops with macros says unclear
on the other hand, optimizing blueprint perf is clearly not a priority
guy or gut?
lol my guy
Mmm I think there was something somewhere
yea, but wasting time on a crucial thing like a foreach loop is unnecessary
Funny that Niagara in that aspect is more dynamic
and yea you can implement macros in C++
exactly! you get it. for loops are for real programmers
yeah one sec let me rewrite my source build and submit a pull request so that I can implement something in 5 hours to a 10 year old bp macro, that otherwise has a slight 5 minute inconvienence
i wasted last 2 days on this (based on an existing c++ implementation)
so now i got the godfather of all forEach loop nodes ๐
but based on K2, not custom thunks
to be fair, if you were the epic engineer charged with maintaining for loops, you would cry if it was a custom thunk
why not just use the c++ implementation then
you can't in BP graphs!?
you can't have type wildcard then
for C++ you must know the type you iterate at compile time?!
idk what happens when u make a bp exposed ufunction with (void*)* ?
how did you get my blueprints?!
nothing positive, or probably you can't
in older UEs id say it would allow it and have a nonsensical and useless BP node result
in newer UEs, I bet it fails to allow it
we just need cpp templates in bp, simple
just don't use bp ๐ง

why is bernie's house on fire too
can you show code for that node?
i want to make a function which returns a whole data table as TMap<RowName, WildCard> that should work?!
i'll keep my macro i guess ๐
you need them to all man
like to place any entity

maps and such usually only work for me on real limited specific tasks
i'm pretty sure it is
but after my dive in K2 i don't want to start another dive into custom thunks now
maybe later....
but my brain can only handle so much at a time ๐
is it better to use a software cursor or a hardware cursor?
software cursors sound like the answer to every problem except for the fact that they are tied to the fps of the game
im wondering how much of a pain that will be
hardware
if you only ever use it as a normal cursor and don't need to release on console where you want to fake a cursor I'd go hardware cursor
when some keepthey micro
well, the problem i was trying to solve that led me down the software/hardware cursor rabbit hole was that every time i click something in the UI, ue focuses the widget and doesnt let go, making it so that the controller no longer receives the mouse movement inputs
other than that im doing nothing special that a hardware cursor couldnt do
https://github.com/x157/x157.github.io/issues/14
yeah i found this, giving this a go
atleast its only ue4

Just dropping here the news that our Hero(brine) added bannig of authors for the Orbital marketplace: https://www.reddit.com/r/unrealengine/comments/1efxi4d/new_features_on_orbital_market_search_save_vault/
nice indeed
but i think discord verification reviews shouldn't reduce the popularity
they should just be neutral and have no influence
Idk, I kinda like punishment for review farming. Play shitty games, win shitty prizes
what did i win for playing assassin's creed valhalla then?
Disappointment
they don't have another choice for customer verification!?
they do, its called the receipt
does it have an unique code on it?
yes
wdym multiple assets
if i buy 2 assets i get one receipt, which indeed has a, more or less, unique id
does the seller know that ID?
i doubt that
so until you proof it, it's made up
because afaik epic buys the license from the seller, and sells it to the customer
ah yes, youre right
-_-
no, i simply never considered the case of buying assets from multiple authors at once. i have been asked to provide receipts before as proof of purchase for aftersales support
for stuff on UE marketplace?
that may work on other platforms, but i think the sellers know very little about each customer
afaik epic tells them how many licenses they sold and thats it!?
im talking about ue marketplace my dude
maybe someone who sells can tell
i think ive spent like 4-5k usd so far on the marketplace XD
wtf
and only about 500$ worth of it was stuff i regretted buying
the 1k cursor texture?
please, i made that in affinity in 30 seconds
that took at least 2 minutes to export at that size ๐
i do regret these though
completely unnecessary as it turned out
i feel like that applies to a lot of things
even if you make stuff yourself, few weeks later epic will make it an engine feature (which even works better)
not to most of the things i bought. i dont buy textures or asset packs or whatever, i usually only buy code plugins
because never in a 1000 lifetimes would i hope to build one of those plugins from scratch
the one exception to this rule was the planet textures cause i couldnt be bothered to create them myself
this thing is basically hard carrying my build system. and it cost only like 50$ ish
i feel bad, it should have cost more
more like 100$
isn't it basically the tools in engine ?
yea sounds like proc mesh stuff
yes, it just adds a bunch of extra features to the geometry processing plugin
the tools inengine isnt runtime though
but even $100 seems to be a fair price
considering how annoying it is to work with that data in UE ๐ (they made a lot of things easier tho, but it's still confusing and docs are like usually non existent)
dude you have no idea how easy it is to manipulate mesh data at runtime with this thing
In this video I demonstrate how to use Geometry Script to implement at-Runtime mesh booleans, using DynamicMeshActors
im telling you id have been okay paying atleast thrice more
yes, try that in packaged builds and watch it crash
ive seen that video and followed that tutorial like last year
And meth
<not jk>
and at making reasonable sized textures (no joke either)
but yeah that tool looks like a huge lib of helping operations
METH
I wanted to release my lib, but many of the things I did by 2018 are now part of the engine
iirc this doesnt work in shipping configuration
do it
VS Code ? Really ?
I do remember to edit the 4.22 for many months in order to access audio
then they totally changed it on next releases
and made basically what I did
and then you feel like a trash

it's shipped with the engine
idk about windows tho

idk about the binary builds
Go better 4.27 and then 5.4

Okay
Did Nvidia released finally the dammit Plugins?
Idk I liked the 4.22
Didn't they changed it?
they still update it, but it's called 5.4 now
In what fucking universe does UNO need 1.57GBs
It's a fucking card game
Pokemon games for GBA were only 3-400MBs
100x the amount of sprites
Dialogue, event triggers, 70+ moves, loads of items, etc.
Are the cards in 8K or something
Undertale is under 1GB
The fucking game who's only logic for hoe it works is 700 if statements in one nest
Uno is the COD of mobile games
ITS THE SAME SIZE AS PUBG MOBILE
Cod mobile is 12GBs. I stand corrected.

i can confirm on the touhou fandom
those are absolute lunatics
