#

well

#

the hard part is that you are not now

#

it just takes some time to adjust to that

tulip orbit
#

then why is it, a person can die just from choking on water? or if I get a sliver from brushing against a bit of wood, I can die from the resulting infection? or any of the other hundreds of ways that I can easily die

carmine wraith
#

but like, the fact is not changing, so there is time

errant raven
#

It was great, woke up with her next to me everyday, she was beautiful and was almost always turned on

carmine wraith
#

it is what it is

errant raven
#

Then I sold her

#

But I plan on buying another one

summer cedar
carmine wraith
#

rough, truely, i had to put down several last week, consecutively

summer cedar
#

There's no invulnerability. There is surviving terrible, horrible things much better than other things.

errant raven
#

I survived the sinking of the titanic

#

Wanna know how

summer cedar
errant raven
#

No, I just didnt have room for my pc down here

carmine wraith
#

darn my guess was 'same way i did'

errant raven
#

I cant even traffic, I dont have a drivers license

summer cedar
#

not necessarily a bad thing.

#

get someone else to do the driving.

carmine wraith
#

surprisingly you can still get a traffic ticket, without driving

#

you can participate

#

in traffic

errant raven
#

This is embarrassing

carmine wraith
#

last time you stay up till 3:20 without any time controls

#

what a shitter

errant raven
#

I was up for 37 hours that day

summer cedar
errant raven
#

Watched the sun rise, set, and rise then set again

summer cedar
#

Do you mean like in autonomous cars?

carmine wraith
errant raven
carmine wraith
#

?

#

just walk into traffic dude see if you get a ticket

errant raven
#

Even as a passenger

summer cedar
#

Oh.

#

The seat belt thing is a thing here, too.

#

Passengers get ticketed these days.

errant raven
#

Jaywalking is the only crime everyone gets away with

summer cedar
#

Why do they call it jaywalking?

errant raven
#

No one cares if you use a crosswalk or not, just as long as you cross when no cars come

carmine wraith
#

i mean

#

the only point was that pedestrians are participatnts in traffic

#

and to be a suicidal person by jumping into traffic

#

jesus h christ

summer cedar
#

I've yet to see a single Blue Jay walk across a road.

#

No point in calling it jaywalking.

carmine wraith
#

hes a jay ya see

errant raven
#

Automobile manufacturers

#

Propaganda

#

Roads are for cars not people, stay off it you mook

carmine wraith
#

nah they won that battle buddy

errant raven
#

Pretty sure they encouraged people to run over others if they was in the road

carmine wraith
#

100 moves does actually sound like a lot tho

#

wait did you win or..

errant raven
#

Its 64f 18c outside and we still got the ac in set to 62f

carmine wraith
#

ok well

errant raven
#

Pretty sure that game ended in a draw

carmine wraith
#

64f, 62f, what the fuck kinda chess boards you playing on

errant raven
#

Temperature brother

#

I cant stay focused when my piglets are freezing

carmine wraith
#

i see dodging the question then ...

errant raven
#

At least I can dodge

#

Unlike a fucking certain super saiyan

carmine wraith
#

i drive a dodge

errant raven
#

I drive crazy

#

Well, others crazy

carmine wraith
#

i dodge your crazy

errant raven
#

My brother looked at my garden today

#

He was kinda bewildered that I had nothing but pepper plants

carmine wraith
#

wait wait

#

does he not know

#

the plant to pepper volume ratios

#

that need TO BE MET

errant raven
#

Nope

#

He thought I was just growing 4 plants

#

Jokes on him, its 15.

#

5 varieties, but 15 plants

carmine wraith
#

"whos laughing now !!"

inhales habanero gel

errant raven
#

Gel?

carmine wraith
#

moose?

errant raven
#

I recently tried some Carolina reaper cheese puffs

carmine wraith
#

ah the thought appears

errant raven
#

Which thought

carmine wraith
#

that ended well i assume

#

rip

errant raven
#

Wasnt even hot

carmine wraith
#

oh its wasnt yours

errant raven
#

Was probably about the same heat as a green jalapeno, if even that.

#

But they tasted decent, I guess.

#

I liked their ghost pepper potato chips better

carmine wraith
#

you know how in the store jalepenos seem to differ wildly between hotness

errant raven
#

Yes

#

Its cus they're green, green is unripe

carmine wraith
#

oh?

errant raven
#

Green is also the least tastiest

carmine wraith
#

i mean jaleponos that arent green ..

errant raven
#

But some people love green peppers for some reason I cant understand

#

Never had a jalapeno that wasnt green ngl

carmine wraith
#

makes you wonder

errant raven
#

That's why I started some jalapenos in a 4 inch pot

#

Should start flowering soon

carmine wraith
#

idk what that plant is like at all actually

#

is this another one of those .. bush trees

errant raven
#

Store bought peppers are also much milder than the pepper can be

#

The habaneros I've been eating were probably roughly half its peak heat

#

That's why I'm itching to eat some fresh ones off my plants, I want real deal hot, not corporate marketing bs

carmine wraith
#

;D well

#

id imagine that end of the line is there are actual breeds

#

like wines

errant raven
#

The reaper is a breed

carmine wraith
#

oh its a habanero?

errant raven
#

Dont know what the fuck its parents are

#

The guy who "made" it keeps changing the peppers he claimed to cross to make it

carmine wraith
#

lol

#

99% meth

errant raven
#

He did say he used red habanero as one parent one time

#

And another time he said habaneros have no good flavor, which contradicts what he said about what he aimed for when breeding the reaper. Which was good flavor and high heat

carmine wraith
#

theres so many red chili bla bla

#

but habonero is nice alone, and nice with anyway

errant raven
#

Peppers have like 5 colours they can be

#

7 actually

#

Yellow, orange, red, chocolate, white, purple, caramel

carmine wraith
#

chocolate and caramel

errant raven
#

Yes

carmine wraith
#

PURPLE

errant raven
#

Brown and light brown

#

Chocolate versions are hotter than red versions

#

Mustard is also a colour they can be

#

It's like a yellowish green

carmine wraith
#

that sounds spicy

#

well

#

anyway, there you go, theres clearly variety

errant raven
#

Yellow isn't as spicy as peach, peach isnt as spicy as orange, orange to red, red to chocolate etc

#

I dont understand this shit, tho.

#

Those orange habaneros I ate felt so much more intense than the red ones

carmine wraith
#

the distinction between .. variety and just ripeness

#

and also .. if you remove seeds or not

errant raven
#

Those colours are what they ripen to

carmine wraith
#

kk

errant raven
#

That's why green doesnt count

#

My colon hurts just thinking about it tho

carmine wraith
#

TLDR; fiber

errant raven
#

That green ghost I ate that was only 3 weeks old on the plant, hurt so damn bad. Cant imagine what a fully mature red ghost is gonna feel like

carmine wraith
#

so like you realize

#

a single habonero is like for a stew or something

errant raven
#

Weird

#

I eat them like chips, not even exaggerating

carmine wraith
#

ive never bought them raw

errant raven
#

Try it

carmine wraith
#

but grew a few randomly

errant raven
#

Cut the bottom end off, a tiny tiny sliver, almost no heat, all flavor.

#

Tastes and smells remarkable

carmine wraith
#

makes sense

errant raven
#

I foolishly ate an entire habanero my first time and felt it. Was scared of them so I barely touched them, then I just got addicted and longed for that feeling again

#

Ate them repeatedly and now I just feel nothing

carmine wraith
#

happy couples around you, feel nothing

errant raven
#

That flavor still hits the spot tho

#

I havent had a habanero in a month or so now tho, hopefully my tolerance has gone down

carmine wraith
#

like it first

errant raven
carmine wraith
#

er, lick* it first

#

cs:go as a couple?

errant raven
#

Me + csgo = happy couple

carmine wraith
#

well

#

my conclusion was that personally

#

i cannot compete

#

i tried and if i was capable, it would have happend

errant raven
#

I fucking love csgo

#

I even got some semi pro team to coach me

#

For free

carmine wraith
#

well

#

your on that spectum then

errant raven
#

All I had to do was beat a guy in a 1v1. I didnt, but it was really close so they did it anyways

#

I was silver 2 then, the guy I 1v1 was obviously, semi pro.

carmine wraith
#

job interview, in game

errant raven
#

But 1v1s on maps with easy angles is kinda weird that anyone can be good in that

carmine wraith
#

i think the point is to get a sense ofhow you move

#

and to not suck, too

errant raven
#

That's all I focused on

#

Counter strafing and the peaking variants

carmine wraith
#

i mean

errant raven
#

Crosshair placement, aim comes naturally

#

My counter strafing is so damn accurate I might raise false flags of that feature in the new razor keyboard

#

I practiced that shit religiously

carmine wraith
#

so

#

the thing is its a single game

#

and the best person in the world at a single game

#

is even then, an income?

#

there are in fact people who do that

errant raven
#

Pros make a decent bit of money

carmine wraith
#

but like .. in CS:GO???

errant raven
#

Streamers

#

Loba brother

carmine wraith
#

sure thats all self marketing

#

whole different job

#

im totally shitting on your parade lol sorry

errant raven
#

Nah. Probably right on that part

#

But csgo also has the skins community

#

The people who dont play the game, just open cases and collect rare skins and stickers to hold onto for a profit later on

#

I could've had 3000 usd if I still had my skins inventory from 2017-2018

carmine wraith
#

i can relate to dota2 only

#

and on that, i never spent nor received a dime

#

so ..

#

but im aware of "epic pudge chain" etc etc

errant raven
#

Those stickers are 10-15 bucks a piece now

carmine wraith
#

define stickers

errant raven
#

The skin alone was 15 bucks back when I bought it, the stickers were only 4-5 bucks

#

Today it wouldve been worth 80 usd

carmine wraith
#

i dont get it, are they selling spray paint or ..

errant raven
#

Those two little things at the bottom that said virtus.pro (foil)

#

Skins, that you use on your gun

#

You can also put stickers on the skins

carmine wraith
#

ok .. so thats a 'stricker' you are worthless and cannot spell, worthless

#

got it

#

your mustache etc '-p

errant raven
#

I never typed stricker

carmine wraith
errant raven
#

I dont get it

carmine wraith
#

...

errant raven
#

1% better than best rank in game. I should go pro

carmine wraith
#

whatever app this is, uninstall it immediately

#

and never accidently click on 'get pro'

errant raven
#

It's a legit trusted site

#

Pro just allows you get auto recorded clips of your highlights

carmine wraith
#

i fail to see what your phone has to do at all with playing counterstrike

errant raven
#

And some other small neash things

carmine wraith
#

seem sus, you might say

errant raven
#

It's a stat track site, it logs your matches and gives you a report on your impact, aim, strafing, crosshair placement, nade usage, positioning, etc and will give feedback on how to improve things you are bad at, and what you did wrong in situations that you could have won

carmine wraith
#

well, none of that happened on your phone

errant raven
#

Nope, but since it's a website I have access to it on my phone

carmine wraith
#

i suppose i get it tho

errant raven
#

It helped me get even better at cs tho

carmine wraith
#

well, thats what its all for

#

so, makes sense

errant raven
#

Cs2 was probably the worst experience I've ever had tho

#

I'd rather play against rage cheaters than play that shit again

carmine wraith
#

lol i just went outside for a smoke

#

and i heard something around, turned on phone flashlight, armadillo takes off

#

usually armadillos done give a fuck

#

this one remembered me, i chased it off the yard

#

so, i did so again, reinforement learning

#

the end.

errant raven
#

You should try eating it

carmine wraith
#

its armored tho

#

and super dilloy

#

Disabled hardware acceleration in Chrome. It doesn't seem to have increased CPU utilisation noticeably.

carmine wraith
#

.. what

#

your trying to increase cpu utilitzation ..

#

by disabling gpu acceleration?

summer cedar
#

No. I was observing that there was no noticeable increase in CPU usage.

errant raven
#

Makes sense

carmine wraith
#

i mean

#

did you see a change in gpu?

#

thats the only part that matters

summer cedar
#

No, I wasn't checking it.
But, the stupid HDR in Chrome has been turned off and videos look normal. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Which was the aim. ๐Ÿ™‚

carmine wraith
#

hdr in chrome

#

the hell

summer cedar
#

yeah, I know.

#

Google is 'aware of the issue and working on it'.

#

๐Ÿคฃ

#

It's been a while since they said that.

carmine wraith
#

chrome bug = literally blinded

#

welcome to hdr

summer cedar
#

The thing is, I think it's more a problem with how Win 11 handles it.

#

It uses a form of 'fake' HDR - I forgot the technicalities, sorry.

#

The problem with that is, Starfield also uses a similar fake HDR.

#

So, when HDR is active in Chrome, it kind of becomes disabled in Starfield.

carmine wraith
#

and if you stack the fake on the fake on top of ACTUALLY having hdr

summer cedar
#

This has been a latest Win 11 update 'feature'.

carmine wraith
#

its just retinal searing

summer cedar
#

no, no. Use correct vocabulary.

#

It's alternative HDR.

carmine wraith
#

re: do you have an hdr monitor or not

summer cedar
#

re: re: indeed, I do. ๐Ÿ™‚

carmine wraith
#

ok. ๐Ÿคฃ

summer cedar
#

I was reading about the technicalities of this a couple of days ago.

#

Something to do with the number of nits.

#

Now, it's all tits in my head.

nits tits wits shits

I don't wanna brag but I feel SO good with my action system

#

It's SO easy to make actions

#

I feel like a child in a playground

summer cedar
#

show us videos and give us free game keys.

carmine wraith
#

hella actiony, you should make an action game with it

18 Emmys, 25 nominations.
Who has watched Shogun?

fluid bloom
#

it was nice

#

though I had massive blue balls after the season

#

didn't realize the actual novel ended that way too

#

it felt like the story was setting up something epic to happen and in the end nothing happened

#

thankfully they are doing second season ๐Ÿ˜„

proud jay
#

watched the first episode

summer cedar
#

how is it?

proud jay
#

but wasn't as engaged as with the book

#

book is goated though

#

one of my favourites

pearl elk
#

uuugh the grind

tulip orbit
#

next up is 15k of the framework

pearl elk
#

I gotta move my space elevator first

#

I do love the upgrades to that though, its so much more impressive

tulip orbit
#

yeah it looks so much better now

cursive crypt
#

no elevator, first you need to collect mushrooms.

tulip orbit
#

yeah I think I will need to move mine as well. I picked such a crappy starting point

#

but next task is to move my steel production, or at the very least make a better one in a better spot where I can actually produce enough. Current spot has only 1 coal node available so its kinda limiting.

pearl elk
#

finally roof conveyors too

#

Ive been doing these sort of subfloors which are just for conveyors to run through

tulip orbit
#

I just make a big mess

pearl elk
#

I used to do that, now I try to keep the floor clean and use the floor holes

upper raven
#

nice

pearl elk
#

assemblers are too slow

cursive crypt
#

Use C

pearl elk
#

also whoever stacks these iron plates unevenly bugs me

proud jay
#

is this satisfactory?

pearl elk
#

they are clearly doing it on purpose

cursive crypt
pearl elk
unreal ether
#

ooh yeah I hate that. It's a factory, why are they not perfectly aligned ๐Ÿ˜ญ

proud jay
#

on purpose so that they don't vacuum stick to eachother

#

sheesh, have you never worked in a factory

#

the real question would be, why are they stacked at all

pearl elk
#

crateless factory

#

actually I lie, there are crates for the quartz

carmine wraith
#

i suppose ill google it. and see whats the fuss

proud jay
#

well, the show was based on a book

#

which I read

carmine wraith
#

by?

proud jay
#

Shogun by James Clavell from 1975

carmine wraith
#

oh

#

so literally has been since forever

proud jay
#

there are people in this chat older than that book though ๐Ÿ‘ด

carmine wraith
#

you sure about that

#

you sure about that

#

p;rice

proud jay
#

lol

unborn lotus
carmine wraith
#

well, there already was a classic samurai movie, afaik called shogun

proud jay
#

same on belgiam amazon lol

carmine wraith
#

they really dont want me to read it

proud jay
#

there was a mini series made based on the book a long time ago too

carmine wraith
#

its not even for sale as an ebook

proud jay
#

from 1980

carmine wraith
#

they republished it with fancy covers

#

in two parts

#

17 dollars a half book

#

selling an ebook would be like burning down the disney vault

proud jay
#

wait

#

why would they split it up lol

carmine wraith
#

wait sorry

#

that was with a 32% and 42% discount

proud jay
#

there's other places than amazon too though

carmine wraith
#

nah man i dont wanna get no fake printed covers on a bible from craigs list

#

these books are hot

proud jay
#

what country are you in that amazon is the only decent bookseller lol

carmine wraith
#

usa, texas ..

unborn lotus
#

Bookdepository was the best, RIP

carmine wraith
#

if amazon doesnt have it for sale as an ebook, or even as a paperback under 30 dollars

#

i already know im too low class to read it

proud jay
#

well I guess americans don't know how to read so

#

maybe you can find the book back in 748 parts on tiktok though?

carmine wraith
#

i read a lot, on my kindle app '-0

proud jay
#

I hate kindle

#

love ereaders

#

but kindle is so bs

#

with their stupid DRM

carmine wraith
#

well, i have an actual kindle paperwhite too

proud jay
#

amazon trying to control the whole ecosystem again

carmine wraith
#

but phone is easier to read in bed with

proud jay
#

too much light from phone

#

I have a pocketbook

carmine wraith
#

yea a bit, my prev. phone had a nice extra dim mode

proud jay
#

well, it's "vivlio", but it's just pocketbook rebranded

carmine wraith
#

also it follows your 'dark mode' seting

fleet tangle
#

Who buys an mp3 cd?!

carmine wraith
#

black background, white text, min brightness, even extra dim mode

#

still readable in dark room

#

not distractingly bright

#

plus your not limited to them, if its your phone

#

like read a blog or shit

proud jay
#

apparently white on black is not that great

#

idk though

#

I'm not an expert

#

but the e-ink screen is definitely a lot friendlier on my eyes

carmine wraith
#

paperwhite is brighter than my phone is

proud jay
#

and my ereader is lighter than my phone I think

carmine wraith
#

with same settings

proud jay
#

I told you

#

amazon is shit

#

it's also differently lit though

carmine wraith
#

i mean, im happy with not needing a dedicated device

proud jay
#

phone is backlit from the screen

#

e-reader is normally front lit

carmine wraith
#

thats how i read at night

proud jay
#

I like having a dedicated device

#

but that's just me

pearl elk

gah cheap impure coal

Shogun - the e-book is $3.54 here, in India.

proud jay
#

6,99 euros here

#

but I have the physical version

summer cedar
#

Kindle version.

proud jay
#

ew kindle

summer cedar
#

Paperback is is $6.70.

proud jay
#

I only buy e-books in epub format

#

don't need all that shit drm crap

summer cedar
#

Yeah, I never bought a Kindle, because my Likebook Mars came with a bigger screen.

#

I am thinking of getting a Remarkable 2, or something else now.

#

but, there are colour e-readers now, too.

#

I haven't researched them though.

proud jay
#

there's not that much colour in the books I read though

#

if you read a lot of graphic novels I could get it though

#

or like scientific non-fiction with graphs and shit

--- Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was taken into custody after shots were fired at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, three senior law enforcement sources said. In 2002, court records show, he was convicted of possessing a weapon of mass destruction โ€” the machine gun. ---

Well, it's a great thing he was able to buy an AK-47, then.

proud jay
#

at least it's not an AR15

#

that's only allowed in schools

summer cedar
#

Correct.

#

Dude's 58. He probably thought the AK was cooler, so skipped the AR.

proud jay
#

maybe so

soft night
#

windus did you see whatthe suspect had on the profile bio description

summer cedar
#

I saw a pic of him with a weird t-shirt. What was on his profile pic?

#

I see.
Let's hope he gets put in the Jail party forever.

the american media could take something of the blame

#

too much polarisation going on

haughty plank
#

hi how is everyone

#

im waiting for UE source to load

#

here while i wait

soft night
#

you are in ue source

median wraith
#

source is like 1:30h from compiling engine to finish shaders compilation

fathom wadi
#

it is if you have a good CPU

#

takes me 52minutes to compile the engine. I'd say it takes less than 5 minutes to do all the shaders though

soft night
#

so batman have some tease from batman film side what was in mention there

#

"al rata alada" what riddler used

fathom wadi
#

what cpu?

median wraith
#

5950X

#

bet you aren't compiling all the actual shaders used in a project

broken sigil
fathom wadi
#

wel lthat beats my cpu I guess ๐Ÿ˜„ i7-12700k @5ghz. But yeah it's the full shader comp. Perhaps I'm misremembering the time it takes to do the shader part as I tend to go make a coffee whilst it works it's magic. But it doesn't feel like more than 5 minutes anyway

median wraith
#

it takes even more on forward rendering

fathom wadi
#

did they ever allow both deferred and forward shading in the same project? I was reading Killzone 2's GDC '09 paper on their rendering techniques and they split the rendering between both. one for lighting and one for the rest.

median wraith
#

I don't think so

#

the engine have some forward rendering bits for transparent things for deferred

#

but that's a different topic

fathom wadi
#

yeah I think that's the kind of system they were using. I'll try dig it out. It's a good read.

median wraith
#

ohhh killzone

#

for some reason I was thinking of Killing Floor 2 lol

#

goddamnit. satisfactory crashes a lot lately

alrighty, gonna rest my eyes a bit, then either continue satisfactory, or maybe take a break from that and work on my map generator....

cursive crypt
#

Was it you that tried out the wave f collapse?

tulip orbit
#

tried, mostly failed at making a true WFC. but made a loosely based constraint solver based on its ideas

cursive crypt
#

ah, so you came up with some invention of yours.

#

good

tulip orbit
#

yeah, it works. I think it could be written more cleanly and a bit better, but it works

#

do still want to make a WFC-like for the floors/ceilings but failed hard last time I tried

cursive crypt
#

I was thinking about map gen, buuut with the amount of constraints I have in mind, it is not really feasible.

tulip orbit
#

I just added in stairs and multi-levels, and man that was a lot of work.... still got some troubles with some stairs

cursive crypt
#

If you are doing something action oriented, it should not matter much I expect.

cursive crypt
tulip orbit
#

why stairs? to add some vertical variation to the map. Used to be all one floor and it felt very samey

cursive crypt
#

No, I meant, why you have problems with the stairs. If you keep good dimensions to your 'tiles' it shouldn't be a problem?

tulip orbit
#

with the tile bitmasking, for the stairs it ended up being a bit more complicated, so I still get some stairs either the wrong shape or rotated the wrong way

cursive crypt
#

the WFC ideas are good here, basically for each tile you should have a limited choice of neighbours.

#

Anyway, the devil is in the details... it might be easier just to work on a model, outside UE first.

tulip orbit
#

oh its mostly working now, and looks pretty darn good I'd say

#

oh, thats not the latest image... I fixed that disconnect between the two wall tiles

cursive crypt
#

ye, not so bad I guess.

#

Just put some monsters and you are good to go

Sophomoric insults. Rudeness. Personal attacks. Cross talk.

These have become defining features of American political debates these days. But things havenโ€™t always been this way. As the Opinion Video above reminds us, civility once had a place in the political forum.

So, what happened? Hint: Itโ€™s not all Donald Trumpโ€™s fault.

Use the right engine, not one that is meant to keep track of every single object in the universe in perpetuity, in a game that is supposed to be a near endless open world. Limit and define your scope from the beginning and don't advertise the complete opposite. Don't make a loading screen simulator. Have AI from this era. have POIs that are worth exploring and more than just the same thing on every single planet. At the very least don't overcommit saying every planet is fully explorable only to follow that up with invisible walls around the already small empty area.

Or, since this is prly just flame bait, don't make one.
