SE isn't even PBR, they did just repackage the game and add volumetric fog

well not even, were god rays

[fleet tangle]

I walk about 2 miles a day these days. Not too far, but it's nice.

[cursive crypt]

They were god rays, iirc in their setup. You have to see what some modders did, I'm talking about the enb & shaders mods.

They added even tesselation.

[celest musk]

i walk that in a week unless i push myself to take some decent walk -_-

[median wraith]

had this purchased years ago and never executed, le me see

[fleet tangle]

I reward myself with a coffee.

[celest musk]

yea, i go for 5 mile walks and then get a pizza 😄

[cursive crypt]

Telling ya, at least go to Nexus Mods, select some basic mod collection or at least install the community patch from there. Then play.

[fleet tangle]

The nearest Costa machine is like 200m away. So, naturally, I walk 2 miles around the block, use the machine and walk back home.

[celest musk]

i think the math for the calories doesn't match up... but it is what it is

[fleet tangle]

5 miles is about 1500 calories?

[cursive crypt]

wow

[fleet tangle]

Maybe 1000?

[cursive crypt]

wowww

[celest musk]

i think it's less?!

[cursive crypt]

6km is like 450kcal

uphill

back and forth

[fleet tangle]

Yeah, okay, my scaling is off. 😂

[celest musk]

It takes approx 100 Cal for 90 kg person per 1 mile.

i'm not even close to 90kg i guess, so i guess i need even less

[fleet tangle]

Probably.

[cursive crypt]

kilos matter, work is how much weight you pushed over given distance

[fleet tangle]

It's kinda silly that the coffee I buy is about the same calories as the walk I take burns off.

[cursive crypt]

When I started to look at the nutrition labels back then, it is always scary..

A small desert? half to one hour walking.

[median wraith]

cannot be

[fleet tangle]

Yeah. I'm way off. 😂

[median wraith]

When I do 10Km here is like 360 for me

[fleet tangle]

It's about 800?

[cursive crypt]

You are prolly thin man Hev

[fleet tangle]

See this.

[median wraith]

10km are more than 6 miles

and is 360

[cursive crypt]

Is this reported by your watch? Have you set your weight there?

[celest musk]

i think your watch is bullying you

[median wraith]

yeah got the weight set plus I'm overweight so technically burn more

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/xbox-xbox360-intro-360-console-gif-16566602

[median wraith]

back to the prior report, is raining right now so I don't feel like going for a walk

[celest musk]

i looked outside, it's NOT raining!

[cursive crypt]

Stuff does not add up, I'm close to 100kg and for 6km (4 miles) it is like 450kcal.

[fleet tangle]

Then your watch is lying to you.

[median wraith]

I do a walk, not running btw

[cursive crypt]

me2

[celest musk]

how long does the walk take you?

[cursive crypt]

Running burns much more. Very ineffective.

[median wraith]

the clock and the phone says the same

11,76km 416 burn

[cursive crypt]

How many kg are you?

[median wraith]

82+-

thing is I have nice leg, but the belly of a pregnant

[celest musk]

maybe the watch/phone noticed that you got a sandwich afterwards

and subtracted that

[median wraith]

technically by what you posted there should be almosy 700

[cursive crypt]

130 pounds (59kg):
2.5 mph (4 km/h) burns 177 calories/hour
3 mph (4.8 km/h) burns 195 calories/hour
3.5 mph (5.6 km/h) burns 224 calories/hour
4 mph (6.4 km/h) burns 295 calories/hour

155 pounds (70kg):
2.5 mph (4 km/h) burns 211 calories/hour
3 mph (4.8 km/h) burns 232 calories/hour
3.5 mph (5.6 km/h) burns 267 calories/hour
4 mph (6.4 km/h) burns 352 calories/hour

At 180 pounds (82kg):
2.5 mph (4 km/h) burns 245 calories/hour
3 mph (4.8 km/h) burns 270 calories/hour
3.5 mph (5.6 km/h) burns 311 calories/hour
4 mph (6.4 km/h) burns 409 calories/hour

At 205 pounds (93kg):
2.5 mph (4 km/h) burns 279 calories/hour
3 mph (4.8 km/h) burns 307 calories/hour
3.5 mph (5.6 km/h) burns 354 calories/hour
4 mph (6.4 km/h) burns 465 calories/hour

[celest musk]

who tf walks with 4km/h

[median wraith]

maybe I got 4kmh

[cursive crypt]

I dunno, grandpas

[median wraith]

I take 2h to me to do 11km

[celest musk]

you crawl?

[median wraith]

calculate my speed

[celest musk]

error: division through 0

it's... slow

[cursive crypt]

So, you should burn around 550 kcal

[celest musk]

4.8km/h

[median wraith]

yeah about 5km/h says here

[cursive crypt]

Maybe Hev secretly uses rollers or something.

[celest musk]

i think it's more about the pace than the distance, looking at what ryobg posted before

[median wraith]

so yeah by that table I should be on the 180 and in between the 3 and 3.5

more than 1600

[cursive crypt]

btw, the more you are trained the better you are.
As I said before, on my regular walks, I burned around 450.
However, after 2-3 months I started to approach 400.

[fluid bloom]

a finnish mosa in the army with combat gear + full backpack on his back in some god forsaken forest near Vekaranjärvi

[cursive crypt]

So, Hev, you are not pushing yourself enuf.

[median wraith]

my issue is all the fat is on the belly

so the legs I got them nice, and so, not losing anymore

I do remember to do a 100km on the bike and all

[celest musk]

i guess they burn way more on uneven terrain with heavy payload....

[cursive crypt]

Better than on your ass.
You are just starting to get blessed with dad body.
It is normal for men.

[fluid bloom]

the belly is a beer can stand

[median wraith]

got even the jokes already

[median wraith]

don't even drink beer so

but it deposit there

[celest musk]

yea 😦

[cursive crypt]

Hev, you have to increase the effort. Running, hiking, uphill, speed walking, etc.

[median wraith]

I have to keep constant with the exercises on indoors

weights and such

[cursive crypt]

Be careful with you joints. I kinda damaged my elbows from dumbells.

[median wraith]

all the running and hiking etc, I do remember to lost 10kg years ago, or even more was like 70kg

under that my body not gona be cool

[cursive crypt]

Chill. It will get even harder as you age. You will get fat just from sniffing a chocolate.

[median wraith]

and all were decent food and walk all day long divinding it on different walks, rather than a single one

[celest musk]

did you walk like a snail back then?

[median wraith]

well that happen to me already so idk

[celest musk]

5km/h dude, i would fall asleep while walking

[median wraith]

how tall are you ?

[celest musk]

~180cm

[median wraith]

well I'm more than 10cm less

[celest musk]

i think i've already started to shrink

[median wraith]

have todo x2 effort

[fluid bloom]

ass legs?

as in do you have short legs?

[median wraith]

actually I got long legs short torax

[celest musk]

https://tenor.com/view/legs-spongebob-squarepants-patrick-star-gif-5320288

[median wraith]

but wide

[cursive crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-long-legs-and-arms-weird-moves-funny-gif-16148985

[median wraith]

@cursive crypt so whats your speed lets see

[cursive crypt]

hmm, let me see

[median wraith]

or Ben that he said @celest musk

[celest musk]

i have never measured it tbh

but 7km walk takes me less than an hour

[cursive crypt]

kcal is the last

[median wraith]

well thats easy math lmao

[cursive crypt]

oh, wait, I ran then because it was raining 🤔

So, average speed 6 km / h

[fluid bloom]

I can run the cooper test in 12 mins

[celest musk]

but i think it's my natural pace, i always get told to work for postal service

[median wraith]

that's fast walking or even running

[celest musk]

and asked if i'm trying to escape from smth

[fluid bloom]

I wouldn't say 7 km in an hour or less is fast running

fast walking, sure

but 10 km/h running speed is considered pretty poor

[median wraith]

your dates not gonna last long we can say, are lost in 3min of walk

[fluid bloom]

at least for shorter few km distances

[cursive crypt]

I recall, when I was young 👴 , having a fast pacing too. Now, I'm more chill, like, I want to enjoy the damn walk.

[celest musk]

yea, but walking slower would make them even shorter

because then they see me from the front

[median wraith]

oh yeah isn't fast running, is fast walking or up start running

[fluid bloom]

ya

[median wraith]

🫂 same

[fluid bloom]

10 km/h puts you in the lowest fitness category in the finnish defence forces fitness tests

[median wraith]

interesting

[celest musk]

what do they defend in finnland tho?

[fleet tangle]

I could probably reach 10km/h. If I were in a car. 😂

[cursive crypt]

Who runs at 10km/h tho? 🤔

[fluid bloom]

10 km/h is 2000 meters in a cooper test

[median wraith]

maybe there is more people to defend finland than spain

[fluid bloom]

excellent score in the test is 3200 meters iirc

and that's 16 km/h

[fleet tangle]

I'd aim for a realistic target. About 20m.

[median wraith]

recently I found I have a real issue with shoes them all I use end broken is less than 8 months

I'm under 170 with a 43

[fleet tangle]

That's because you buy crappy shoes.

[median wraith]

too much friction

[median wraith]

nope actually are good technically

[fluid bloom]

the trick is to perform poorly in the initial test when you join the army and then improve a lot later on so that you get more vacation days as a reward

[fleet tangle]

Define "good".

Brand name does not equal good.

[median wraith]

some running geox thing

started te fall apart by 2 months, the shop gave me another replacement as bad as those was

paid an extra 10€ at the 100€ range basically

[celest musk]

had the same issue

[median wraith]

the new ones fuucked again, despite they technically were better

[celest musk]

they all lost their sole(?)

weird enough starting at the back instead of the front

[woven mason]

get the Solamon Unity's x4 Quest 4

[median wraith]

nope they lost the paint somehow on sides, then some plastics and then start to crerate holes

[fluid bloom]

sounds like you need more neutral running shoes

if the heel started to wear out

[median wraith]

salomon used to be good

had a treck boots last 7 years

[fluid bloom]

I hate how running shoes nowadays have tons and tons of padding EVERYWHERE

[median wraith]

but modern ones are piece of shit from what people claims

even more expensive

[fluid bloom]

like, wtf is this

[woven mason]

Quest 4 are nice

[median wraith]

damm them all are 150€

[celest musk]

they are for smol ppl which want to look taller

[median wraith]

I do remember to get some shoes at the Decatlhon for 50€

they broke my spine

[woven mason]

Tesla shoes

[cursive crypt]

These are pop nowadays. Have seen some girls wearing such. Hidden heels basically.

Iirc the ergonomic slope is much smaller.

[median wraith]

yeah those are woman ones

[woven mason]

girls?
let me tell you something fashion nowadays is retarted

and that is a mild one

[median wraith]

those are weared by the same ones that need a 185 person but they are 155

[cursive crypt]

An ellipse shape is also common for ergonomic shoes.

[celest musk]

https://tenor.com/view/bss2-gif-13351877

[median wraith]

70€ for this

[celest musk]

can you even walk more than 2 miles in those?

never wore sandals like that, but i feel like they get uncomfortable rather quick!?

[median wraith]

mine were like this

[cursive crypt]

This looks like having heat dissipation ribs.

[woven mason]

you'll love this one

[celest musk]

ngl, they look dope tho

from an artistic point of view

[woven mason]

haha do those thingies move like a caterpillar? so you dont have to lift your legs to walk 😄

[cursive crypt]

lol, I dunno. I think there will be a lot of pebbles stuck there.

[woven mason]

🐛

[median wraith]

man

I'm paying more for reusing plastics someone lick before

isn't that technically like second hand ?

what about this brand Hoka ?

[woven mason]

hoka is dope

[median wraith]

first time I see this, someone commented it on the Salomon video

[woven mason]

i mean it depends on your taste ofc

[median wraith]

this is 10€ less

[woven mason]

seeying that Jet Set Radio Future is the trend nowadays tastes might differ

[median wraith]

but still the rest are more expensive

60€ for a tshirt lol

[woven mason]

yeah 55% paying for the brand

[median wraith]

@pearl elk they are reusing the speakers on the wheels at the new version from Cupra XD

[celest musk]

i was like, that's a nice sign, but i don't want to name my game town MERIDIAN

then noticed they added an empty sign 🥳

thought, guess it'll work if i get some font close to it....

they added all letters, too 😄

[tulip orbit]

I'm so tempted by that pack, but I'm pretty broke and none of the assets fit the aesthetic of my current project or any I have in mind 😦

[celest musk]

it's a good pack, i'm happy with it

probably the best bangs for bucks asset i bought so far

[celest musk]

sometimes humble sells similar or the same bundle again

so maybe you get a chance to grab it later

[unborn lotus]

how considerate - what pack is it?

[tulip orbit]

yeah, who knows maybe on project 5034201 I'll need assets like that

[celest musk]

https://www.humblebundle.com/software/dekogon-townscape-essentials-2000-unreal-engine-assets

[unborn lotus]

for 23 euros??

[celest musk]

yea it's a steal 😄

[unborn lotus]

oh man

[celest musk]

considering dekogon stuff has great quality

i think the suburban houses and the background buildings have been free for the month a while ago, as i had them already

the vehicles aren't absolute top notch by todays standards, but as background and fillers all the stuff is great

without looking awkward

if you buy it get sure to adjust your donation 😄

to give dekogon/wwf more and humble less 😛

[unborn lotus]

the vehicles looks pretty great

like the vol.5 ones

unless you're doing a racing game I guess

[unborn lotus]

no, just looking for inspiration for stuff to do lol

they have at least 6000 packs on the marketplace, I wonder what montly sales they get with that

[celest musk]

yea, it's kinda impressive that even the humblebundle already sold >4k times

which is a lot of unreal users...

[tulip orbit]

there are that many unreal users?

[cursive crypt]

Its just me

[unborn lotus]

and probably a lot more only on the marketplace

and millions on them for uefn

[median wraith]

That was a year ago and wasn't those

[celest musk]

i had them tho!? 🤷

and i'm sure i didn't buy those

[cursive crypt]

Maybe you are sleepbuyer. You wake up midnight and buy assets.

[calm fable]

Are you talking about Townscape essentials? Because it does look like quite the steal, especially if you're aiming for a rural american setting...

Ah you posted a link, nevermind

[median wraith]

Mmm strange then, I had ones but wasn't from them

How cool the next year will be illegal to make pdf invoices

Need to use some government website 🙌

[celest musk]

what could go wrong....

a government server with all the business data

which day will it start? gotta restock popcorn

[median wraith]

This year they blocked websites and made real the adult websites by credits

What a nice time to move from this country

[celest musk]

i don't understand the 2nd part

credentials?

i think they blocked some here too

which will just boost smaller ones 😄

[median wraith]

Yeah you need to access a blocker by the government with you ID

[celest musk]

as it only affects the ones which are popular right now

[median wraith]

And you have x credits per month to enter

[celest musk]

what? xD

fap credits

[median wraith]

Yeah search for it

Yeah Spain now have fap credits monthly

Meanwhile the tobacco stores keep there

Feel free to get drugs

[median wraith]

good news, gore for all since the 4.14

[tulip orbit]

well I got the the changes I wanted to make done finally, after about a week. ....now what...

[proud jay]

next ticket

[cursive crypt]

Add a bug.

[tulip orbit]

I'm sure I've already added plenty of bugs

[quasi mantle]

Talking about necro lol

I tested it on my old potato PC, it was considerably heavier in 2022 because the whole system is blueprint only and read-write to render target the BP way, so it was too heavy for CPU

Of course these days you can have it entirely in Niagara with Simulation Stages, make a fluid sim logic using grid 2D/3D, and it'll run entirely in GPU. I made one myself running 3 Niagara systems w/ simulation stages and it barely make a dent

Once you get around Niagara's sim stages, making fast fluid sim with render target is considerably easier. Also I'd recommend looking into Jos Stam's paper on fluid sim - this has been the basis for all fluid sim in realtime graphics ever since
http://graphics.cs.cmu.edu/nsp/course/15-464/Fall09/papers/StamFluidforGames.pdf

[celest musk]

better than what?

[summer cedar]

@celest musk @median wraith - https://www.humblebundle.com/software/deluxe-dev-dream-3d-unreal-engine-and-unity-mega-bundle-4000-assets-software?hmb_source=search_bar - What do you think of this pack?

[celest musk]

i hhave a bunch of Meshingun stuff from other packs... it's okay

[summer cedar]

Okay, as in with problems using them, or just not a high enough quality?

[celest musk]

some packs like the Bazaar (iirc) only look good from the perspective of the screenshots tho

some are better, e.g. got a abandoned hospital from them and that was pretty good (but the texture resolution was kinda low)

[summer cedar]

can you mix and match?

As in, are they suitable for that?

[celest musk]

changing materials for better ones?

[summer cedar]

No, using objects from various packs with each other.

[celest musk]

i haven't checked scaling tbh, but of course you could drag stuff from one pack to another

[summer cedar]

Right. I am asking more about suitability; will the assets gel with each other, or would you be able to easily tell that they are not compatible?

[celest musk]

🤷

[summer cedar]

Okeys. 🙂

[celest musk]

i mean, $30 is still a good price

[summer cedar]

True. I am just wondering whether I can use it in my second game.

[celest musk]

you can't do much wrong there....

[median wraith]

average

but given that price get it

if you need it

or just for the charity

[summer cedar]

why do you say average?

[median wraith]

is okay

are unity assets they ported

[silk lily]

i resetted my pc and i forgot to commit the stuffs i did for the past 2 days

fml

[summer cedar]

Only 2 days?

Do better next time.

[silk lily]

yeah

[summer cedar]

Aim for 4.

Even 7 for a nice week.

Be the best version of your reset.

[silk lily]

haha

[summer cedar]

Aim for the height of restarts.

[brittle holly]

Yeah, just don’t commit at all for a month and let it all burn

[silk lily]

i said earlier, before i reset, i gonna comit this to perforce and completely forget about it

brain fart at 1 am

[summer cedar]

oof.

Yeah, past 10 p.m., you've to be really alert about your lazy, lethargic brain.

ironic as that is, it's essential.

[silk lily]

yup

[summer cedar]

so, what's the plan?

[celest musk]

same as every day

he travels back in time

and forgets about it again

which is why we all live in a groundhog day reality

[summer cedar]

Ben, have you ever used textures.com?

[celest musk]

no

[summer cedar]

I am considering it. If I know what I am going for, that monthly membership charge won't amount to much, and they seem to have a really large collection of textures to choose from.

@median wraith Sorry to bother you again, but what do you think of this texture's quality? - https://www.textures.com/download/3DScans1221/145551

[fluid bloom]

holy fucking shit it sucks to add a water block to a GPU

the thermal pads are a nightmare

[summer cedar]

I am slightly happy that I am not the only one who spends six hours assembling a computer / component. 😄

[fluid bloom]

the instructions said like "put the pads like in the picture" and the pads in the picture have rounded corners and tiny notches cut here and there

am I really supposed to round the corners?

😐

also I'm surprised how poorly the block made contact with the GPU core 🤔

on initial try it only made contact with half of the core

[summer cedar]

Are these the pads that were already in the GPU, or new ones you purchased?

[fluid bloom]

new ones that came with the watercooling block and backplate

the old was this weird crumbly putty like stuff

[summer cedar]

You won't need to round the corners, or anything fancy, but you might want to make sure nothing is sticking out or interfering with other components.

You can use a SMALL pair of scissors for that and shape the pads accordingly.

[fluid bloom]

I just used plain ol' fiskars, probably too big 😄

[summer cedar]

The idea is to ensure that the pads don't cover anything they aren't supposed to.

Other than that, it's fine.

[fluid bloom]

also it's pretty weird how the stock cooler had thermal pads on top of the capacitors also while EK's manual for the waterblock didn't mention them at all 🤔

[summer cedar]

COOL!

I found ambientcg.com with some of the textures I was looking for! 🙂

Cannot tell much since I'm in the phone but looks good to me

You have textures on the humble pack btw

Tile able ones, if I remember correctly there was a pack of it

[errant raven]

Yeah, gpus usually run more than just fine with the preinstalled cooling fan chasis on it

[unborn lotus]

there's also substance painter subscription which gives you access to their textures https://substance3d.adobe.com/assets/allassets?q=herringbone&sort=-searchScore

but it's 20$ per month

that's all I use as base textures

[worldly mesa]

did you guys discuss OpenAIs new robot yet?

[worldly mesa]

it is my understanding that the subscription access to the materials does not work with the one time purchase version through steam. IDK if you can verify, or say it is compatible (just an information thing for people considering different versions

[unborn lotus]

hmm yeah that might not be the case if you buy it through steam. you need to login with adobe to get the assets and you get monthly points

[worldly mesa]

the usual adobe shenanigans :/

[fluid bloom]

I'm actually developing that system but using Niagara sim stages, and using that paper as a reference. It's pretty much 2D fluid sim setup but the render target goes into the volumetric cloud and weather handler
I'll probably continue on it this weekend

The paper can also be adapted into 3D, do the same thing but in Grid 3D

[proud jay]

did you know, half of assets is ass

[summer cedar]

and the rest tits?

[unborn lotus]

Hmm no, most are good but the latest focus seem to be towards archviz or producy rendering

[cursive crypt]

Rentdobe, Paydobe, ...

[mild gust]

You will own nothing and be happy.

[proud jay]

No literally the word ass-ets

[cursive crypt]

iirc, the context of that was a talk about the domestic technique and how current trends is to sell shit products in order to buy another one soon. A balance of working well and failing. The person saying that phrase was suggesting to rent instead such appliances - this way the manufacturers would be pushed to make good products so that there is a minimum maintenance.

[summer cedar]

I thought about buying the Humble Bundle asset packs, but I realised upon some 11 p.m. analysis that my main requirement was textures. I can make the models I need easily, but they shine with the proper textures added and luckily, I was able to find a couple of free AND paid websites that supply them. 🙂

[cursive crypt]

I'm still salty how a logitech 100$ mouse used most cheap trash of buttons and I had to resolder them with good ones which cost under one buck.

[proud jay]

just wait until you can buy the 240 dollar subscription mouse

it will be so great

[summer cedar]

Unless you're a big guy with fat, chubby, destructive fingers, you might as well buy Ant ESports or other cheaper mice. The Ant ESports mouse I purchased recently is surprisingly good. 🙂

[cursive crypt]

This is the way. Maybe that will make them better.

[summer cedar]

Wasn't there some news about subscription mice recently?

It was from Logitech, no?

[proud jay]

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/07/logitech-has-an-idea-for-a-forever-mouse-thatrequires-a-subscription/

[summer cedar]

hehe. yeah.

[cursive crypt]

#lounge message 🥈

[summer cedar]

Lol. 4 weeks ago, they released a press release saying they NEVER EVER planned on releasing a sub-based mouse.

NEVER, EVER, EVER!

🤣

[proud jay]

bro I was just resharing lol

I know it's old news

[cursive crypt]

Was there any movement?

[summer cedar]

Yeah. I am sure another company will pick the idea up. It'll probably be called Stupitech.

[cursive crypt]

I'm eager to subscribe

[summer cedar]

I hope they don't charge $8,000 for a ticket there. 😄 🤣

[median wraith]

worst part is those not gonna work with my old version

https://tenor.com/view/mr-krabs-so-sad-small-violin-spongebob-gif-17423788

[unborn lotus]

Hmm they should work

[median wraith]

wasn't that like the spanish ham thing ?

[median wraith]

Na i remember they trigger an error as they are from a newer version

just as trying to open a UE5.4 Blueprint on 4.27

Since that last company got Humble Bundle

is awesome how by default the money to charities is a misery

[proud jay]

it's more than 0 I guess

[summer cedar]

There are texture incompatibilities between UE versions, too?

[median wraith]

you cannot files from newer version on older

[summer cedar]

oh, backwards compatibility.

ok.

phew. 😓

[cursive crypt]

At least is something. Someone was saying they reduced the charity % but I don't recall the numbers before.

[median wraith]

Feels bad even them get more

charitie should be the first, that's what this bundles are for

[summer cedar]

Correct. I was going to buy the bundle yesterday, but the minimum amount going to HB was $9. You couldn't reduce it further than that.

I was hoping for $3 to HB, $9 to charity, and the rest to the artist.

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, but hosting, deals, website, dev, salaries, etc

[summer cedar]

But, no.

[median wraith]

well I mean keep you there then, but they are giving here less than a 5% to charity

and the dev is getting the 80%

you are making a bundle to win money, not to help anyone

[cursive crypt]

I dont mind the devs, they are already discounting very much.

I do understand, but lets say it is partial charity. It is not a donation.

[median wraith]

well then Humble should make invoices

they never do

[cursive crypt]

You mean they avoid taxes?

[median wraith]

No I mean if individuals want a invoice they never provide it

to declare it on your end if you get a dev asset like in this cases

they are requiered when you get tools and such for companies

but the prices here are too low so don't mind

but you end getting say 5 bundles per year

you paid more than a per year subscription service

you cannot present as company cost

in america someone told me you can even deduct games

[summer cedar]

Isn't the payment receipt you get in your e-mail enough?

[median wraith]

Steam don't make neither invoices

and that's a problem when you get for example their console

[median wraith]

receipt only isn't enough in european countries

you need a whole invoice with both companies IDs

[summer cedar]

I see. Something like GST ID in India.

Yeah, they don't provide that. True.

[median wraith]

@cursive crypt ohh this was the thing, I got myself the "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition"

but then after get the original game, their DLCs, then this new version

you need to get another version that's the anniversary one

[cursive crypt]

No, you dont need that one

Just get the SE.

AE is about integrating some paid mods.

But yeah, I see wdym. They still try to stir the hive.

[summer cedar]

I think I got the Skyrim SE for free.

They gave it to the customers who had purchased Skyrim a long time ago. 😄

[median wraith]

oh ok didn't knew what this was for

[median wraith]

no that I know ?

[summer cedar]

It was many years ago.

When the SE was first released, they gave it to all the customers who owned Skyrim, on Steam.

I forget the details though; it ought to be somewhere on Google.

[median wraith]

oh actually looks like

the skyrim I own is from my other account lmao

maybe that makes sense

but they never gave me the other or so idk

[cursive crypt]

how many steam accounts u have?

[summer cedar]

If you owned Skyrim on Steam somewhere, the SE will be on that account in your library.

[summer cedar]

He's a man of mysterious accounts.

[cursive crypt]

TIL the Thief game originated from a stealth mechanic of an unreleased game, Dark Camelot, a reverse Arturian fiction. You play as Mordred, Lancelot is a jerk and Merlin was a time traveler marketing guy. The knights where oppressors and Guinevere was a guy b*tch.

[median wraith]

personal, company one and other old

[fleet tangle]

A guy bitch?

[summer cedar]

one of those.

[cursive crypt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

could have been gay, i lost the text

[fleet tangle]

When I played Theif I really liked it.

Until I started having to kill skeletons and I almost instantly closed it and stopped playing.

I was like, "I want to sneak past guards and into mansions to steal stuff, not crawl around sewers fighting the undead... that's so lame."

[cursive crypt]

You dont like skeletons? tc tc tc

[fleet tangle]

Undead were just so passé at that point,

[cursive crypt]

It is kinda creepy game. I recall playing 1 and 2 for awhile.

[cursive crypt]

98'

Considering the hw constraints they had, they did well.

[fleet tangle]

I'm the game before that point was great.

I just saw skeletons, got instantly bored and literally never played it again.

[cursive crypt]

hehe, back then skeletons were all the rage
But if you wanted more grounded experience - ye, no
There is certain touch of fantasy in the Thief games.

I think it was one of the first ever stealth games too 🤔

[unborn lotus]

thief 3 shalebridge cradle!

[cursive crypt]

I barely got out of the first house, never had the time to play it 😅

[unborn lotus]

it was pretty good, I was close to the end

I think I lost the saved game or something and never finished it

[cursive crypt]

Good to hear that. The designer dude was also a consultant for Deus Ex later, iirc

[pearl elk]

Thats okay I ended up buying a BMW instead 😛

[river sable]

I think I'll skip substance tbh because houdini got some really nice texture update with the new version

https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/copernicus/index.html

but embergen is tempting for fast iterations

[carmine wraith]

the thing id find useful, and have seen people use substance for (just in a video), is for designing a material that needs to animate

so working out the parametric values and trying different noise textures and creating noise textures

embergen i would expect to be particularly good for any kind of cloud or gas thing

though the final output might just be a vector field or volume texture, as i doubt unreal could import anything else

[river sable]

yeah its super powerful (substance designer) I played around with it for a few weeks a couple years ago, it's really fun

UE does import .vdb with a plugin

[carmine wraith]

what is .vdb?

[river sable]

a format for volumes, it's pretty optimized

[carmine wraith]

oh right

[river sable]

https://www.openvdb.org

[carmine wraith]

yea i think of those as svt

sparse volume textures

[river sable]

yeah I think they're very similar

[carmine wraith]

its actually literally the same

.vdb is the file format, svt is the ... err

memory format

[river sable]

ah!

good to know

[carmine wraith]

or maybe they are in fact slightly different encoding methods

but yea imported the sample cloud volume textures that are on the embergen site

drop them in level as a heterogenus volume

look pretty great

[river sable]

https://github.com/eidosmontreal/unreal-vdb

this is what I played around with before the svt update

but I think it's mostly obsolete now

[carmine wraith]

iirc that plugin predates the current features it just works now

[river sable]

yep

[carmine wraith]

heterogenus volumes, volumetric rendering in general, and 3D gas stuff, are actually one of the main reasons i even started the current project/experiment in unreal

[river sable]

what are you working on?

[carmine wraith]

i havent used a modern version of unity though, and it seems like they added some similar features at some point fairly recently

personal game project, premise being a top down perspective rts that takes place between high altitude aircraft and carriers, in a jovian like atmosphere, but likely also mountain peaks above cloud that are inhabitable

[river sable]

oh very cool

will you have the hexagon in there? 😄

[carmine wraith]

better summary might be, naval fleet engagement rts with lots of fighter dogfighting/carriers as well, except they are all in the upper atmosphere of jupiter

[carmine wraith]

hexagon?

[river sable]

oh wait

that's saturn

got my planets mixed up

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn's_hexagon

o.O

i was just about to paste that lol after i had to google it

more like this

[river sable]

sweet

fluidninja has some really cool layered volumes like the first image

been meaning to check out how they do that

[carmine wraith]

what is fluidninja?

[river sable]

a great fluid simulation plugin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Eoy9cUGU4g

[carmine wraith]

its kind of lame how there is no way of previewing or demoning plugins

[carmine wraith]

i like the thumbnail much more than the rest ;D

[river sable]

some plugins have compiled example projects

fluidninja does have a free trial iirc

[carmine wraith]

but it is very much like that sort of thing

o.O tempting im just starting to get some results with niagara tho lol

[river sable]

yeah DIY definitely if you're capable!

definitely a good resource if you get stuck though

speaking of I'll get back to it

nice chat 🫡

have a good day

[celest musk]

wasn't fluid ninja even free of the month once?

[carmine wraith]

"free of the month" wut

[unborn lotus]

It's true, we get free assets every month. How did you not know this

[celest musk]

they btw. just updated 10minutes ago

[carmine wraith]

um

oh there it is, free for the month

[celest musk]

dont tell me that you do unreal for a year without grabbing that garbage each month?!

[carmine wraith]

more like 3 months

less than a year, but yes

but 'free' is showing shit thats always free..

[celest musk]

yea i think you didn't miss out on good things in the last 3 months

[carmine wraith]

oh its literally just those 5 things

and show all is nothing more just free shit

[proud jay]

@broken sigil is definitely buying it

wasn't CP2077 already based on a board game though

tfw they don't even put a url in the description lol

guess they don't need it though

would be nice if the base version didn't cost 80 bucks though

[celest musk]

whoa, 5445 people have friends to play this with...

[carmine wraith]

hah no

it will go on the board game shelf

[proud jay]

yup

[carmine wraith]

and youll take it out and play with the pieces

[celest musk]

ah, yea considered that people buy it just for the figures

[carmine wraith]

oh if its going to have real figures, thats probably why 80

[proud jay]

no no

[turbid spindle]

:question: would blue man play cyberpunk board game with deja?
:8ball: Concentrate and ask again.

[celest musk]

it doesn't?

the version with figurines is like 140 bucks

[celest musk]

yea no way they are not buying it anyways

[carmine wraith]

I know nothing about the game

so idk why it flopped so hard

they just couldn't market it well enough.

Ah, I think you were thinking of Condors.

slightly different spelling. 😄

[summer cedar]

Correct. They explode just fine.

[unborn lotus]

Hmm but flight of the conchords?

[summer cedar]

Those are just Amerikhuns, my brother.
They can't explode. They die from AR-15s first.

[proud jay]

isn't that like a band or tv show

[unborn lotus]

Hmm wait actually there is no concorde bird lol...ive been mistaken

[summer cedar]

you were thinking of condors.

those are nice vultures.

[proud jay]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_of_the_Conchords

[summer cedar]

can be made to explode.

[unborn lotus]

Concorde like Accorde

[proud jay]

that's a car

[summer cedar]

can also explode.

just adding that for extra info.

[summer cedar]

I will recap for $5.

[proud jay]

it's dead

[summer cedar]

Plane exploded and died.

[proud jay]

they're giving refunds

[unborn lotus]

It crashed like 50 years ago

[summer cedar]

Game failed and died.

[proud jay]

and remove it from the store

[summer cedar]

Person will fail and die.

[median wraith]

failed ? but it was released a week ago wtf

[summer cedar]

I think I've covered all the bases.

18th July.

But, sure, last week.

It failed regardless.

[proud jay]

indeed

[summer cedar]

It was dismissed by the glorious judgment of the internet colosseum.

[proud jay]

it had a peak of like 700 players

[carmine wraith]

all assets and code overwrite deleted on servers

[proud jay]

and like average of 70 concurrent

[carmine wraith]

office burned

[tribal geyser]

Nah came out 23 aug, they had a beta back then

[median wraith]

I mean here says

[tribal geyser]

Reads like they might revive it as free to play

But we will see

[summer cedar]

closed beta or EA?

[carmine wraith]

it still reads as unreleased, hence why they are giving refunds i suppose

[tribal geyser]

Public on PS

[carmine wraith]

preorders are stupid shit

who even does preorders anyway and why

[summer cedar]

Well, that's today's equivalent of shit release.

[proud jay]

well the people who preorder are the stupids tbh

[tribal geyser]

Was a weekend so not sure if that counts

Tho regardless, was a paid hero shooter with nothing separating it from everything else

That said it was insanely polished, character animations were truly spectacular

Had fun playing it but would never pay for it

[carmine wraith]

Well, sounds like something paid for by a publisher.

If it was the actual studio that paid 2m they are fucked.

[tribal geyser]

Hope the studio sticks around, definitely some talent there

[summer cedar]

The decision to pull the game was Sony's, according to google news.

[carmine wraith]

er, 'millions' rather i have no idea what it was

there you go

[summer cedar]

So, if the devs negotiated those things in the contract, they ought to be okay.

Assuming they knew how to negotiate that stuff.

[proud jay]

Sony owns the dev lol

they bought the studio afaik

[median wraith]

sadly right now there are tooo many games that are kinda equal so

[summer cedar]

They might keep it around then. Japanese culture; hopefully.

[carmine wraith]

and that is why you accept funding from a publisher

and do not get bought by them

now instead of the publisher accepting the risk of release

which is the whole point of haveing a publisher

you are all fired gj

[proud jay]

I'm not sure sony buying them has anything to do with the failure

[carmine wraith]

if they hadnt been bought

it wouldnt have been funded, hence not made

[proud jay]

you overestimate what people will fund

[carmine wraith]

im making tons of assumptions and havent even heard of it

by any chance was it using unreal?

they could make some money to tide them over by just packaging it all up into the marketplace

[tribal geyser]

funding from a publisher and being bought are two very seperate things (especially in todays market)
Have had good experience myself in the past working with publishers but that is a dime a dozen

[tribal geyser]

yeah ue5

[tribal geyser]

I dunno.. haha
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/sony-shuts-down-japan-studio-development-report

[proud jay]

no

😔

wait this is 3 years ago lol

[tribal geyser]

haha yeah

[summer cedar]

--- According to the site, Sony is keeping Japan Studio's business and localization staff, and the team behind the Astro Bot series of games, Asobi Team, will take on some of the Japan Studio developers and continue as a separate Sony-owned studio. ---

They are keeping their Japanese people.

Just tossing the 'others' out. 😄

It's in keeping with how their culture works.

They rarely abandon their own people - the permanent employees.

Even if you are officially fired, you'll be transferred elsewhere.

The contract employees - mostly non-Japanese - are expendable.

Also, contract employee over there basically means, some dude who toils and gets some cash in return - nothing more - we don't really know they exist. 🤣

Recently, there was a scandal at their national broadcasting channel - NHK.

They did pretty much the same thing with the Chinese 'contract staff' who was responsible. 😄

[carmine wraith]

https://youtu.be/WORsxfgoVjc?si=oFEoyqQQhQXt6oKG

i found this to be quite informative

[proud jay]

it's not coming lol

it's been there for years

[carmine wraith]

watch it, they already "came" to invest, especially during quarantine

but they are coming back for their money, right now

[summer cedar]

@tribal geyser Do you think Sony will redesign Concord? Remember, they did the same thing with FF 14 (the online game), when its first version was crap.

Sorry, they being Square Enix.

But, still....

[tribal geyser]

yeah its the post covid tech boom and implosion we're seeing across both games and tech industries now (for well over a year now)

[tribal geyser]

I think it'll go free to play

i'll be surprised if they completely remove it

[summer cedar]

Yeah, they say in the press release that they recevied plenty of positive AND negative feedback.

That tells me they could fix the flaws, if they wanted.

[tribal geyser]

but i guess they'll do some analysis of ROI for going to free to play and then make the decision there

[summer cedar]

🤔 Maybe they'll rebrand it as Boeing.

"Soaring to new heights, we return with the missing screws and flaws rectified!"

---

When your players have to wait TEN minutes for a match, yeah, your game is dead.

There has to be a better way to approach this matchmaking process.

Something like, if a VERY short while has passed and the queue isn't full, fill it with bots and auto reshuffle the teams for balance.

Making someone wait for 5 minutes or 10 minutes, when today's average YT attention span is like 2 seconds or something into a video, is a death knell for any game.

[tribal geyser]

Yeah just extremely non trivial to add bots for a hero shooter

Even with Sony backing them they still have to get it out at in a reasonable length of time

[summer cedar]

I didn't play it.
The game didn't have bots?

[tribal geyser]

Afaik no

[summer cedar]

Shite.

[proud jay]

it didn't even have players

[fathom wadi]

Overwatch have tried a few things with matchmaking but they always have a lull eventually. But you can't factor in people not liking the game. Nothing you can do then. If the reason people stopped playing was purely for the long queue time then I'd look into the pre-release campaign. The exposure could have killed a lot of support before it hit the market. All I heard was negatives before release from testers.

[summer cedar]

But, it has the perfect qualities for a Dark Bill games series. 😄

I just do that every half an hour or two and it's all good. 😄

[celest musk]

it's the backlight

is it one with CCFL backlight?

or a plasma screen?

[white oxide]

its LED but its also old enough you cant seem to find any info beyond the ancient limited samsung manuals https://www.samsung.com/ca/support/model/UN40H5203AFXZC/

this is from that period where "smart tv" was like a major selling point

back when having something like netflix built into the tv instead of a dongle was brand new

its not worked very hard, all it does is play netflix/vlc from my pc

[celest musk]

what could go wrong

netflix didn't change their API yet?

it still works?

[molten olive]

when you skip the idle animation in the blend space lol

[lethal seal]

LoL maybe

[carmine frigate]

still alive m8? 🙂

[broken sigil]

I probably wouldn't get around actually playing with it but I think it's pretty cool piece to have

[errant raven]

How much ram do you use

What's your bios settings

Are you overclocked or underclocked

How often do you dump your .temp files

[broken sigil]

64GB (next system I'm gonna build is gonna have at least 128GB)
No overclock or underclock

[errant raven]

Who built you

[broken sigil]

oh I get what you are asking now lmao

took me a minute

thought it was a legit question for a good second

lol

[errant raven]

Well yeah it was

Can still cut the price down on the ram by going with bo rgb. Already did with some other parts, since deepcool isnt sold in u.s anymore

Ls520 was so good tho

Idc what the case looks like either. I'll put my shit in a 1998 dell tower used in offices and schools if I want

For like $14 bucks more, I can get the rx 7600. 4 more gigs of vram, but core speed is lower and I think is mem bus is also lower

[broken sigil]

more vram always comes in handy

[errant raven]

True, but I mostly only play esports games

Cs2, fortnite, overwatch 2

Cant really think of anything programming wise thatd need more than 12vram either, yet again I'm not very good at that yet

Need 600+ fps in my esports title. Daddy needs that 520hrz monitor

I realistically wont be getting anything manufactured by asus tho..

I see your first skill isn't speaking english.

Matt is taking care of it

⛽

[trail wedge]

well if you start off saying stuff like DM wihtout inform it's pretty clear you aren't a native speaker

[carmine wraith]

i laughed out loud reading that conversation

and am only quoting it to point out the best lines ;D

[brittle holly]

Sorry for unaware
lol

I wonder if him and the Wales guy are related

[cursive crypt]

Reminded me of https://playspent.org/html/ which is since circa 2011. However, instead of you giving money to someone who shows you simulation of poverty, it is a free simulator of teaching you what poverty is. The goal being the player feel like donating to the ministry the end.

[pale scarab]

People laughed at this but we game developers know this is sad. They put in so much work...

[errant raven]

What the fuck is Concord

Oh

Another generic ass hero shooter, as if we needed another. Good riddance

Siege, valorant, apex, overwatch 2, shrouds dumb hero shooter

Dont forget Paladins

The goat

[brittle holly]

Sucks for the devs but releasing that game was a really dumb move by the publisher. You can’t compete with existing free to play giants by putting a $40 price tag on your clone

[errant raven]

They missed that opportunity in 2016

Even then overwatch kinda suffered, while team fortress 2 was still be massively played

Paladins also came out and it was free to play and quite fun as well

Apex came out, was overhyped as fuck and boring

Was also free 2 play

Pay to win, but free to play

Me personally, if I wanted to play a game with multiple choices of what/how to play and suffered from power creep, I'd just play yugioh. Like I've been doing.

[summer cedar]

One can hope they'll figure the absurdity of their pricing out at least now.

Every game they release is priced highly, each and every one.

I remember arguing about it with one of my students, who worked on Monster Hunter something something.

Their contention was that the quality and content they provided deserved that high price tag.

I was like.... no.

[brittle holly]

Doubt it, it’s Sony after all

[summer cedar]

I wonder if we'll have welfare payments from governments for video games, in the future.

The Last Fan has arrived.

Now, the final battle for air supremacy shall begin.

[fleet tangle]

Arctic. That's cool.

[summer cedar]

Now, I just have to figure out how to make the cable connect to the motherboard and install the thing.

It's questionable whether this fan was even required. PC is very happy at 41C. 😄

BUT, I thought it's good to have an exhaust fan regardless.

[errant raven]

Just use hvac fans

1 hvac fan as a intake while you have 3 120mm outtakes

This pc building shit is so easy its ridiculous. How did the verge ever fuck this up

[regal pecan]

We trained (The Verge) wrong as a joke.

Probably did the same with Firewalk Studios.

[errant raven]

Tonight was fucking weird man

Heard a car honking in our driveway, but the motion detector lights didnt turn on, and we usually hear cars pull in, and the dogs will bark everytime they hear them. But no one was out there, we just sat and watched, finally went out and checked but car doors were locked and everyone was in the house

Cousin was just as confused as I was

[cursive crypt]

Firmware bug, auto triggered the honk.

Or big brother is watchin' ya

Or some rodent got fried.

[errant raven]

Doubt any of that, but I do have a theory

And it is fucking hilarious

The thought is also scarier than someone getting into the car just to honk the horns

[errant raven]

I played 58 games in the last 7 days. Won 41, lost 17 stalemated none.

42 wins

[queen isle]

lol is this real?

[cursive crypt]

🤑

This is the staff's skin.

[queen isle]

i only knew about the crossovers, this sklin is unhinged lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyGkn-uPNco

i dont like cod but i will admit this is pretty cool

[summer cedar]

@fleet tangle As usual, I encountered a problem that'll need some troubleshooting. 😄

I THINK if the Nexus 9 slim hub is active, the sys fan ports remain inactive. Time to google this shit. 😄

[cursive crypt]

gosh, this is cringe

Tho, I gotta congrat their success of continuing to sell decorations.

[fluid bloom]

now I want a kebab roll for lunch

[cursive crypt]

I mean, maybe you can skip that step and just go to the toilet.

[fluid bloom]

but then I don't get any kebab 🤔

[cursive crypt]

Ok, go to the toilet, then go for a kebab. Reverse it.

[summer cedar]

@fleet tangle Well, I ordered a pack of 4 PWM splitters - those were cheap. 🙂 I need them to extend the fan cable to the nexus slim hub.

After work, I'll test the fan on the hub outside the case and see if it's defective. If it isn't, I'll have to wait a couple of days for the extensions to be delivered.

[fluid bloom]

I made a fifth order for watercooling parts..

forgot to add a ball valve into the fourth one

[summer cedar]

My mum always says I do things the hard way.

What need have I for an exhaust fan? None. At 40C, my PC is VERY happy.

But, what about me? NOOOO! Exhaust I must have!

Blow more hot air out, I will!

[summer cedar]

and what happened because of that?

[fluid bloom]

made the fifth order but to a different shop because I didn't want the people in shop A think I'm an idiot

plus the shipping fees in the other shop are 0 €

[summer cedar]

so, what happened because you didn't add the ball valve?

[fluid bloom]

harder to drain the system if there's no valve to let the fluids out

[summer cedar]

ah.

[fluid bloom]

there's a screw plug and screwing that out can get messy

[summer cedar]

one of the reasons I didn't touch water cooling.

I didn't want to deal with 'wet'.

And that'd be doing things the HARDER way; a bit much even for me.

BUT WE MUST TOIL!!!!! ✊
