dope is often cocaine + morphene-related mix

i only know "dope" as weed reference

[carmine wraith]

really?

[steel summit]

dope means pretty much any drug imo

[carmine wraith]

ah that explains it

[summer cedar]

It began as another name for cannabis, aka weed.

But, it refers to any 'recreational' drug.

@broken sigil you liked the Asian market phones, right?

Any recommendations?

[errant raven]

The dragon fruit 17

Blueboy loves their devices

[errant raven]

[broken sigil]

Yeah, I really like Xiaomi phones
What's the budget?

I'm using Xiaomi 14 ultra, which is their "ultra" flagship model (their top model at the moment), 16gb of ram (with additional 6GB taken from storage optionally), most powerful chipset, and pretty much no other phones comes close to it in terms of cameras

Tier below is Xiaomi 14, it's a more compact version with a bit worse cameras

Tier below is Xiaomi 13t/t pro (14 version is coming out soon), this is the "flagship killer" range, offers many flagship features, great caemars, usually a powerful chipset comparable to the top models but for example lacks wireless charging, has a bit worse camera sensors, etc...

The the more budget friendly tier is (this is also Xiaomi) Redmi note 13/pro (14 also releasing soon)w

[pearl elk]

I have an asian meerkat phone

[errant raven]

16 gigs of ram in a phone?

Brother, what the hell do you use your phone for

[fleet tangle]

I'm guessing a midrange phone? My gf really likes Oppo, but they aren't in the UK market any more. She has an oppo x5 pro and says it takes crappy photos compared to her sister's iPhone 16.

I'll check out the 13, thanks!

[pearl elk]

it might be one of those phablets, tablets masquerading as phones

But when Google enabled Find my Device on all devices automatically in August I'm surprised there hasn't been more of an uproar about it. 2 billion devices just became a botnet. Any vulnerability gives an attacker an entire network of devices to harley and pony from.

[median wraith]

Okay kids, whats the best key to enable the voice chat ?

[fathom wadi]

Mouse 4

[median wraith]

on a shooter

that's for the grenades liar

[fathom wadi]

Mouse 5 is my grenade. It's in front of 4 so I imagine like "throw in front"

[unborn lotus]

F is grenades

[pearl elk]

V for voice

C for camerra

G for grenade 😛

Q for Quibility 1

[soft night]

v for v-tech

[median wraith]

no, v is for the knife

what about Alt ?

[summer cedar]

Heathens!

V is for V E N D E T T A!

🔪

[fathom wadi]

if I have the option I will use Q or E for a grenade. But it comes with order of reactive importance. Voice and communication is more important than anything but reaction shooting. Being that it's secondary, as in to report your shots and status, you need to be able to move freely in any direction for survival. Mouse buttons give you the control of aim with a grip whilst voice chatting so it's not a restrictive action with shooting.

[pearl elk]

F for melee

[summer cedar]

F is for R E S P E C T! The dead.

[fathom wadi]

middle mouse is for melee because I don't need to use it as my shots kill all the time, 60% of the time 😉

[summer cedar]

Pretty much.

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/arcade-street-fighter-street_fighter_3-3rd-strike-third-strike-gif-25245057

[pearl elk]

E is for eat the rich... or the dead

[summer cedar]

Nowadays, I always set Parry or Counter to Mouse 2 (extra button).

It becomes so easy to use it in conjunction with Atk 1 and Atk 2.

In PoE, Mouse 1 is for an HP flask.

[fathom wadi]

there is no real correct answer in reality. There are common factors amongst gamers for sure, but consider someone might have a disability and there is only one option for any keybinding. Let them bind anything.

[summer cedar]

^

But, that requires effort.

So.........

Get a brain chip.

[fathom wadi]

its no effort. CommonUI and Input

[summer cedar]

Gotta learn how to use those.

Or plug them in.

Laziness is first.

[fathom wadi]

yeah necessity unless you enjoy coding your own. its not difficult

[summer cedar]

True. I'd use it.

But, look at all the games where you can't rebind keys.

If you ask the devs, they say, "We've got to figure out how to do that."

Lazy bums.

[fathom wadi]

the one thing I don't like about CommonUI that has stopped me using it so far is the framed approach with an Outer.

[pearl elk]

is mouse 2 aim or alt fire?

[fathom wadi]

just to clarify its not that its a bad way to do it, I've done that myself, but its not optional

Im betting its no bother to include non-CommonUI methods with it but it seems superfluous at that point

const FQuat NewRotation = bRotationInLocalSpace ? (OldRotation * DeltaRotation) : (DeltaRotation * OldRotation);

wtf

[fleet tangle]

Order matters.

[median wraith]

how in this case

[fleet tangle]

You need to apply the most local rotation first.

So if the "old rotation" is in local space, it needs to go first.

I assume the alternative is world space, which is the least-local rotation, so it goes last.

Idk what delta rotation is in.

[edgy elm]

am feelin angsty today

[median wraith]

that makes no sense to me, is a multiplication wtf

is the code in the RotatorComponent for actors

if you want to check it

[fleet tangle]

Not all multiplications are erm.

Taht word.

A * B != B * A

commutitative or something?

Commutative.

-> A * B = B *A.

Not commutative -> A * B != B * A

[median wraith]

const FQuat refRotation = UpdatedComponent->GetComponentQuat();
FQuat DeltaRotation = (RotationRate * DeltaTime).Quaternion();
const FQuat newRotation = bRotationInLocalSpace ? (refRotation * DeltaRotation) : (DeltaRotation * refRotation);

could that the FQuat internet is defined in soem specific way

[fleet tangle]

?

[median wraith]

the * is for Quats

[fleet tangle]

FQuat internet

And, yes, when you multiply two quats, you don't just multiple each element together....

[broken sigil]

multiplying quats is more like adding B to the reference frame of A in A * B

that's at least what helps me visualize it

[agile inlet]

wizard guy is right, its not just multiplication of elements, or adds. theres formula in quaternion.h operator* overload which seems to be quite correct

[broken sigil]

ofc it's not just multiplication

or addition of elements

but the observable effect is that it's adding B to the reference frame of A

[agile inlet]

i was just trying to help this guy out, i guess i wont be doing that again

[broken sigil]

ngl that's a weird response considering this has been a friendly "discussion" about their question

I pretty much just pointed out what the observable effects are

[agile inlet]

i dont understand. i just pointed that there is a simple formula in the source code where the order matters. and im weird and not friendly somehow?

[broken sigil]

i was just trying to help this guy out, i guess i wont be doing that again
I'm just confused where this came from, that's about it

honestly so confused... anyways

[agile inlet]

so am i. you seem to be little hostile and i dont know why.

[broken sigil]

I really don't know how was I hostile by talking about observable effects of quaternions

[agile inlet]

i just pointed out that there is readable formula for the multiplication in source code, idk why it was weird response or related not to be friendly discussion

[regal pecan]

A. "wizard guy is right" probably put Blue Man on the defensive subconsciously, even though it was not directed at him
B. "ofc it's not just multiplication" is defensive, and comes off as subtly dismissive, further reinforced by repeating oneself.
C. Attitude doesn't come off well in text, forgive eachother and move on.

If you do cardio, then walking is exercise.
Otherwise, if you merely ambling / casually walking, it isn't.
To be precise, it takes a HELL of a LOT of ambling to approach exercise.

It's one of the reasons people complain that even though they 'exercise', their health is bad, or they can't lose weight, or whatever.

They aren't really exercising; just ambling around.

Saiyans are fuckin braindead idiots

Warrior race, weakest members have power levels off 1000, piccolo had a power level of 300 when he blew up earth's moon. How the fuck did the surviving saiyans believe that their planet actually got taken out by an asteroid? Any of them literally could've just punched the damn thing. King Vegeta himself just flaunted his cape and destroyed 3 planets from its force alone.

[ivory salmon]

Even in a warrior race, a rather small percentage are actual warriors. the ones that are above 1000 power are still the low class warriors, aside from that, sayians are definitely more of punch first, think about questions never. the thought likely didnt even cross the majority of the survivor's minds since it didnt involve direct confrontation (or they were possibly too scared to even voice the idea)

so yeah, braindead idiots is a pretty accurate assumption 😛

I'm on phase 4, and there is SO much I need to do... My individual factories are nicely laid out, but they're so spread apart that its a challenge getting all the parts where they're needed

[celest musk]

you need tesseracts

[fleet tangle]

I kinda gave up with satisfactory early on. Having to physically go places is a pain.

[tulip orbit]

🤔

[pearl elk]

The game felt huge when I was a beginner but after a few plays it started to get alot smaller

early game in particular is very tedious but once you unlock the mobility stuff it speeds up

[unreal ether]

I've always wanted to try it but never pulled the trigger.

It looks like one of those that's fun intially but gets very tedious and same-y very quickl;y

[tulip orbit]

yeah I always feel kinda limited at the start until you get coal power

[pearl elk]

honestly I let it run in the background because theres no speed up time option so I'll just go off to dinner and let it go 😛

[unreal ether]

a bit like astroneer tbh.
That was amazing at first, especially going to a new planet for the first time.

But then it just turned into a slog of "go to new planet, set up base, mine new resource, drill to planet core"

[tulip orbit]

Yup 😄 I've had several great naps while the game chugs along making my parts

[pearl elk]

it must look intimidating if youve never sunk a solid chunk of time in... WHAT 200HRs lol but half of that is idle

[celest musk]

just play a good minecraft modpack and ignore that everything is cubic

and you get the best game experience, imho

all those satisfactory/astrostuff feels like ripoffs from minecraft mods 😄

[tulip orbit]

My current game is 72hrs, maybe 6-7 is idled

[unreal ether]

there are some great mc modpacks

had a great time 100%ing Stoneblock recently

well, not 100% as such

but did all the ridiculously hard bosses and got all the draconian stuff

[pearl elk]

Im on 48 for this play through but it feels faster than the previous versions Ive played

[celest musk]

my last modpack was, meh

played E9E with high expecations, and they forced you into progressing in magic mods

while E2E was heavy tech based (or you had choices)

[pearl elk]

what they dont really explain to you in Satisfactory is that you should explore while youre waiting for things to complete to collect powerslugs etc

my first couple of play throughs I spent all my time in the factory

I wish more games did inventory like NMS though, that radius access is great

[tulip orbit]

I do collectible runs every now and then for HDDs and whatnot, and yeah while waiting for things to produce

but right now I've got so many things that I need to build...

[fleet tangle]

If you have to idle in a game for a "good chunk of time" I feel it's not a good design.

[celest musk]

but maybe that's also a skill issue in satisfactory?

at least in a lot of minecraft packs it can happen if you don't know how to plan out your work

[tulip orbit]

dont have to idle. But yeah it comes down to how well you plan your layout to produce things fast enough.

[fleet tangle]

This is at the start of the game. 😛

[pearl elk]

plan out your work... that sounds more like a job 😛

[tulip orbit]

like at the start, to build faster I'd have to make more biofuel gens, which require me cutting down trees and whatnot, but I'd rather idle than spend the energy doing that

[fleet tangle]

I restarted in 1.0 and have like just got my first copper smelter up and running... and the "urgh" I feel having to actually make a large factory again.

[celest musk]

xD

[tulip orbit]

plus, usually when I'm idling its cause I need a nap or go eat or something anyway

[fleet tangle]

Just urgh.

[celest musk]

sounds like you don't want to play to begin with

[fleet tangle]

It doesn't have a map at first, right?

Or am I missing a keybind?

[tulip orbit]

no map at first, but its fairly quick to unlock in the MAM

[pearl elk]

It used to be a pain to unlock in early versions

[tulip orbit]

I just use satisfactory-calculator.com and the map on there.... much easier. Plus you can upload your save and see where your base is

[pearl elk]

Ive played it enough to know all the spawn points and whats around

[tulip orbit]

I built my aluminum factory close to water and the bauxite, but then while building, realized I was 1km away from coal, 1km away from copper, and right smack in the middle between the two quartz nodes... both 1.5km ish away

[pearl elk]

Its also a coop game so I feel like some things are balanced more towards multiple people working on a factory

[tulip orbit]

I've played it lots too (1khrs), but its been a while since I last played it, so I forgot where everything was and ended up starting in a not so good spot

[fleet tangle]

I'm going to restart on hard. I like the barrenness of the desert.

[pearl elk]

I just started in the same place I did on my first playthrough but the spire coast is all different now

[tulip orbit]

Once I get this train line finished, get my supercomputer factory up to speed, build a factory for crystal oscillators and radio control units, possibly something else, .... THEN I will tear down the space elevator and move it to a better location, move my main base, and start getting the phase 4 parts producing

[pearl elk]

tbh I found the dune desert to be not that difficult

all the curves make it easy to run all the conveyors under the foundations

[tulip orbit]

I liked my start in the NW, whatever that area was called. Lots of resources and nice and central to everything. But the dune desert was really nice too

[fleet tangle]

The dune desert is all about a hard early game tbh.

After that it makes no dif.

[pearl elk]

either way uranium sucks in the late game 😛

[fleet tangle]

I love the tagline: "FICSIT: Short term solutions to long term problems."

[pearl elk]

lol how huge are these blueprint designers

Im so glad they kept some things till the 1.0 launch, its not all new but theres enough

[tulip orbit]

I barely use the blueprints, for the most part I dont find them that useful

[fleet tangle]

Love how I've found a power slug before building my first hub 😄

[pearl elk]

yeah Ive only used them acouple of times, I'll probably used them more now in phase 4 since I might need to do larger reworks

the new music is great too

[fleet tangle]

Does anything happen at night or is it just atmospheric?

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/aliens-newt-mostly-alien-they-come-at-night-gif-17330050324056010417

This may be true, tbh. I had a lot more fun playing Shapez 2.

[tulip orbit]

[broken sigil]

no clue how good that is, could probably be higher if I really tried

[cursive crypt]

Mine was like 11, but I havent seen one box under the Accept cookies box 🙂

I find it useful for left (non-dominant) handed tests interesting too

or if one uses a trackball or so

[broken sigil]

On a related note... I never thought this day would come but... I have been playing with mouse acceleration for the last 2 days lol (not the crappy one that comes with windows, using rawaccel instead)
Basically 80% of my normal sensitivity at low mouse movement/velocity scaling with a curve up to 110% for faster movements

Decided to try after I found out some pros actually use mouse acceleration, many dislike it tho
And I actually so far like it, gives me the precision of low sensitivity with flicks and movement of a higher sensitivity

I aim with my left hand but I'm right handed, and my aim when having to do small precise movements (like when tracking) naturally has some micro jitters (since it's not my dominant hand) and so my aiming style mostly relies on flicks
With this curve the micro jitters are basically filtered out (since the sensitivity drops because of the acceleration curve), so I get best of both worlds, I thought I would hate it because it's yet another variable to pay attention to but nope, really liking it so far

[summer cedar]

Mouse acceleration should be eschewed in favour of self acceleration.

Be the faster you, the swifter you, the dexterous you!

Go beyond! PLUS ULTRA!

[cursive crypt]

Been thinking to try out accel at some point, but prolly when I change my hardware down the road.

[broken sigil]

if you do don't try anything else except rawaccel as anti cheats can get cranky about it
rawaccel is developed in coordination with the major AC providers

there should be a law about ads, watching 2 ads each 3 mins of video

🤦

[errant raven]

Are we watching the same YouTube

Feels like ads every 5 seconds

Ads placed by YouTube, ads placed by the content creator, not to mention their 45 second ad for the sponsor of the video

[summer cedar]

Just wait for the trendy new features to be introduced, such as:

1. Ads placed by ads.
2. Ads placed by the video itself.
3. Videos placed by each ad.

[fluid bloom]

mobile youtube is nice too, you can get an unskippable ad by just fast forwarding the video

[summer cedar]

On the mobile, I have YT premium always on, so no ads.

I don't like to sign in on the PC, though.

Authenticator clicks, click yes, enter password, blah blah.

So, I use UBlock whatever it's called.

[proud jay]

do you change PC every day?

don't you just log in once and it remains?

[summer cedar]

I delete history once in 24 hours.

[proud jay]

why

[errant raven]

Man, you think ads are bad on mobile

[summer cedar]

To hide the top-secret, Dieter missile.

[proud jay]

who's using your pc?

[errant raven]

Wait till you decide to get a roku

Gotta watch an ad everytime you wake your device when it goes into rest mode now

[summer cedar]

I had an old Roku.

It was too slow for me.

at least in India, the service was bad.

[proud jay]

never had roku

I have a firestick

but I rarely use it

only for tv in the bedroom

we have a normal smart tv in living room

[summer cedar]

I was going to buy a firestick, but at that time, an Indian company began manufacturing smart TVs.

Bought one. It's working great.

[summer cedar]

Right'o. Time to buy drugs.

AMAZON! I summon thee!

[proud jay]

you buy drugs of amazon?

[summer cedar]

of Fast&Up, but on Amazon, yes. 😄

[proud jay]

what is fast&up

oh supplements

[summer cedar]

It's a company that makes effervescent tablets that contain herbal juju with chemical juju.

Done.

💸

[pearl elk]

yeah Google have been pushing their ads hard lately

If the platform wernt so big I think people might consider leaving to go elsewhere

[summer cedar]

They have, but the alternatives aren't great.

Besides, ad blockers work fine even now.

[proud jay]

they're raising the premium price here though 😔

but there is no better deal for me atm

I get youtube music

and ad free youtube

and I watch too much youtube

[summer cedar]

Yeah, they raised it here too.

[proud jay]

according to their stats I spend approx 9.9% of my waking time on youtube

or I'm bad at math

1.480 hours since 5th of august 2023

[summer cedar]

Bad at life, probably.
But, this sort of thing needs nuance.

I read articles with my students, where other teachers complain, "Our students aren't reading."

Yes, but what is it that they aren't reading? And what do they read instead?

Same for YT, I think. If you are watching videos that teach you stuff, I think that should be under 'productive' usage.

Like, economics, politics (sane ones; not MAGA garbage), technology - those are useful videos, not recreational - or a mix of both.

[proud jay]

my life is not about optimizing productivity

I don't have the sigma grindset

I just want to do things I enjoy

so I watch whatever I want

[unborn lotus]

what happened to that Victor guy that was all about optimizing

Age is irrelevant

You could be a boring "old fart" at the age of 20!

[coral widget]

[calm dove]

Older age means the brain development has finished and usually maturity tends to kick in fully also. ( Not always the cirumstance, this is why I stated I somewhat agreed. )

So age is a bit relevant. Maturity and Humor can be a little bit connected as someone who full on mature might not find jokes that an immature person finds funny.

yes

tushima is one of my favorite games

[proud jay]

[summer cedar]

[brittle holly]

Good, prioritizing Ragnarok was the right choice

[summer cedar]

It's also an inactive stratovolcano.

[brittle holly]

Crazy how Horizon managed to ruin their sequel but GoW is even better than the first one

[proud jay]

I didn't like the first horizon all that much either tbh

[summer cedar]

I think the goal was different between the games. GoW is more action-oriented. Horizons was more of a traditional Japanese RPG, but in full 3D.

Focusing on story, grindy, not possessing a good flow.

🤔 So, Yotei will be a story about a female ronin.

[proud jay]

apparently

[brittle holly]

It was no GoW but at least it was decent. Horizon 2 was a disappointment. I didn’t even finish it, got bored halfway through which is rare for me

[summer cedar]

It's a YT game.

Better watched than played.

🤔 It'd be so cool to combo attack with that wolf.

Strike your enemy twice and the third attack is a pet finisher.

Follow up with a fourth attack that cleanly shifts to the adjacent enemy.

what do you mean?

[proud jay]

that they have special fashion?

[errant raven]

That's literally the same outfit as the game maker in the first movie, beard moustache, everything

The blonde hair guy, I know who he is, he always looks so normal compared to everyone else

And that short little german feller

Okay, this Death Cult Bladedancer class is entirely broken. If you can get your hit chance high enough, you can basically attack an unlimited number of times. It's AWESOME. Also, the blood.... the BLOOODDDD! 😄

[proud jay]

so you base everyone that plays mtg on 1 short?

[errant raven]

No dumbass. I've seen loads more people dress like that

[proud jay]

no need to call me a dumbass

but the average player most certainly does not look like that

if you google magic the gathering players you would see approximately 0 people like that

[cursive crypt]

result:

I approve

[proud jay]

turns out mr ambulance was the dumbass all along

[cursive crypt]

Frankly, dumbass is the norm.
Imagine a sharpass. Sounds very uncomfortable. Dumb is comfy.

[median wraith]

Unreal don't likes the caps of On after an S

[cursive crypt]

Might be because it is two letters

[median wraith]

could be

[cursive crypt]

Try Of instead of Off

or Ons instead of On

[median wraith]

can live with it

[cursive crypt]

No. Make YT reaction video and post it on tweeter. Become famous and rich.

[median wraith]

this confirms your theory

[summer cedar]

wouldn't a bluntass be better than a sharpass?

[median wraith]

seems like someone messed it with the words count or something

[summer cedar]

I imagine it'd be a step above a dumbass, but gentler on the arse.

[cursive crypt]

Nothing is by luck.

It can be made smarter definitely.

[pearl elk]

it you mean 😛

[proud jay]

I don't get it

he said it

maybe I should be made smarter

[summer cedar]

Are you not already the Dieterest possible smart?

[proud jay]

how do we measure the limits of Dieterness?

[summer cedar]

we try not to.

fervently.

[proud jay]

fun fact

I have still not lost a guitar pick

what are these people talking about

[summer cedar]

Do people lose guitar picks?

How?

[proud jay]

idk

apparently it's a really common thing

I mean, maybe if you play a lot of gigs and travel with them idk

[summer cedar]

The picks hate their owners.

With every twang of the chord, their desire to escape intensifies.

[proud jay]

I'm trying to learn power chords atm

the chord shape is easy

but the muting is hard 😔

[summer cedar]

You must intensify your faith in the Emperor. His divine rock n' roll will inspire you!

[summer cedar]

I think this young lady...

...has some problems.

[median wraith]

first world issues

[proud jay]

bro that phone's not gonna work

the cable is disconnected

[cursive crypt]

Nice model.

[median wraith]

that's what I'm figuring out how to connect it, maybe making a new wire is faster way, but proportinal editing is too hot

[median wraith]

let me show you

the cable ends the rolling

[cursive crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/suspicious-receipts-magnifying-glass-spying-impastor-gif-7308925

hmm... ok

ngl however, the materials need a better contrast.

Is that an wood or some metal alloy?

[median wraith]

ffs doing the whole game, I don't case of the cable anymore

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-cat-cute-slamming-gif-17531055

[cursive crypt]

Thats why ppl use modern phones, no cables.

[celest musk]

ryo is gonna stalk the game and make a bad steam review

"cable on the phone sucks, refunded"

[median wraith]

COD and Hunt Showdown have rocks floating over the floor

[cursive crypt]

no phone ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[median wraith]

so this is fine

[proud jay]

make it wireless

[pearl elk]

how am I meant to do voice calls on this ancient phone

[cursive crypt]

No TikTok too

[pearl elk]

you gotta use the grandfather clock for tiktok 😮

[median wraith]

wondering myself if there could be a way to get the location of a face or vertex via Bp

[celest musk]

well, no

at least when i looked for it i had to make my own thingy

also you would need to know the face/vertex idx

[median wraith]

yeah the idea was to get the location given a 0 to 1 UV coords

but I don't think that's possible via C++

mmm https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mesh-uv.html

how the heck are you new here

Na I need a lerp, so no hits or so

FVector UHEVLibraryMisc::UVToVertexLocation(UStaticMeshComponent* SMComp, FVector2D UVCoords) {
    if (!SMComp) return;
    if (!SMComp->GetStaticMesh()) return;
    if (!SMComp->GetStaticMesh()->GetRenderData()) return;
    
    uint32 LODIndex = 0;
    const FStaticMeshLODResources& LODModel = SMComp->GetStaticMesh()->GetRenderData()->LODResources[LODIndex];
    const FPositionVertexBuffer& PositionVertexBuffer = LODModel.VertexBuffers.PositionVertexBuffer;
    const FStaticMeshVertexBuffer& TangentVertexBuffer = LODModel.VertexBuffers.StaticMeshVertexBuffer;
    const uint32 NumVertices = PositionVertexBuffer.GetNumVertices();

    TArray<FVector2D> uvs;
    uvs.Init(FVector2D::ZeroVector, NumVertices);

    const FTransform tActor(SMComp->GetOwner()->GetActorQuat());

    FLinearColor color;
    for (uint32 VertexIndex = 0; VertexIndex < NumVertices; ++VertexIndex)
    {
        const FVector& VertexPosition = PositionVertexBuffer.VertexPosition(VertexIndex);
        const FVector& VertexNormal = tActor.TransformPosition(TangentVertexBuffer.VertexTangentZ(VertexIndex));

        uvs[VertexIndex] = FVector2D(VertexPosition.X, VertexPosition.Z);

    return FVector::ZeroVector;
}

thinking of something

[soft night]

ponkkis was found to be back in instant when new gneeration came in

[pearl elk]

ponkkiZ

[median wraith]

Hahaha

[pearl elk]

might want to use uint64 😛

[proud jay]

how dare you put brackets on the function definition line

this isn't java

and returns on same line of condition

are you tripping

calling SMComp->GetStaticMesh() 3 times in the same function

smh

[soft night]

{those who dare}

[cursive crypt]

roasted

[median wraith]

Are you Laura now?

[proud jay]

no

I am right

[median wraith]

XD

[proud jay]

you look like you use rider

consting everything

[median wraith]

I have to change the brackets because always used it like that since Crytrk code came public

Always liked it for some reason

But this days people prefer individual lines

[median wraith]

Well I give you the point on that

[proud jay]

the return issue is actually also pressing

no way to debug it goes into the condition in your case with breakpoint

[median wraith]

Oh the last return, isn't finished function so

[proud jay]

no

these

if (!SMComp) return;
if (!SMComp->GetStaticMesh()) return;
if (!SMComp->GetStaticMesh()->GetRenderData()) return;

[median wraith]

Oh yeah have a missing return there should be negative

[cursive crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-fuming-mad-gif-16789313

[median wraith]

Is a draft

[cursive crypt]

dieter ⬆️

[proud jay]

what

I mean the return should be on a separate line

[proud jay]

time to turn off my webcam

[median wraith]

But why?

[proud jay]

just told you

[median wraith]

Oh for the break points you named

[proud jay]

it makes debugging easier

[unborn lotus]

He would definitely fire any of us

[pearl elk]

to be fair you could use a var scoped to a single if instead of returning if null then if its null its just gonna skip the if all together... early out wont save you much

[median wraith]

na way better

[pearl elk]

or do you have a bad habit of passing null to your functions for no reason 😛

[median wraith]

if (!SMComp) return FVector::OneVector * -1.f;

sadly cannot do all in the same like like

if (!SMComp || !SMComp->GetStaticMesh() || !SMComp->GetStaticMesh()->GetRenderData()) return FVector::OneVector * -1.f;

Dieter would love this for debug

[proud jay]

you're fired

[median wraith]

hahaha

[pearl elk]

human code for machines, makes perfect sense

[proud jay]

c++ really needs the ? operator from c#

[pearl elk]

just remove the human from the equation then you wont need to error check so prefusely 😛

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-fired-fired-printing-gif-15157506

[median wraith]

the ? what for ?

you have already the a ? b : c

[cursive crypt]

It is kinda like using std::optional

A bit more terse syntax

[pearl elk]

if anything equals null then do not do that

fixed everyones code

[median wraith]

well time for a break

[pearl elk]

but you cant return from a break 😮

[cursive crypt]

He has a case

[proud jay]

it's like only continue execution if not null

like you could do if (SMComp?.GetStaticMesh()?.GetRenderData() != null)

instead of having 3 checks

[median wraith]

oh lord

that's actually harder to find out

[proud jay]

not really

[median wraith]

when checking the code for issues

[proud jay]

you're just not used to it

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/member-access-operators#null-conditional-operators--and-

great stuff

[unreal ether]

C#'s conditional assignment operators are great too

The more I use C# the more I wish C++ was C#

[proud jay]

c# is bae

[median wraith]

yeah started with c# before of C++ can confirm is bae

[proud jay]

so you did c# but don't know about ? operator

shame on you

[median wraith]

no tbh never used it

I do remember some limitations they had a workaround etc like Tuples and returning vars that way

only used recently on some local tools for shipping etc

but loved it more than Java

didn't used Java at all outside of school and minecraft

[proud jay]

ew java

[summer cedar]

Aaannnndddddd.... the perils of the warp have struck me!

The DLC's first bug has corrupted my sight.

Stuck on 100% at a loading screen. Woo hoo!

[cursive crypt]

duh, im debating between kailh box browns and gateron kangaroo switches

[celest musk]

get a membran keyboard

[cursive crypt]

lol, no

neva

[summer cedar]

CoPilot says the Gateron is slightly louder than the Kalih and lasts for fewer strokes - roughly 30 million less.

If you're a fast typer, the Kalih seems better. The Gateron takes ever-so-slightly longer to register each keystroke than the Kalih.

[summer cedar]

Heretic!

[proud jay]

the kangaroos look cool though

[celest musk]

my keyboard probably costs less than a replacement key for yours

[proud jay]

now that would be really cheap

[summer cedar]

Consign thyself to the flames, where all Chaos truly belongs.

[proud jay]

most switches are less than a dollar a piece

[summer cedar]

After using my Redragon keyboard, I wouldn't go back to using membranes if I can help it.

[cursive crypt]

yeah, they are even cute.

[celest musk]

oh true

[cursive crypt]

What switches you had?

[celest musk]

thought they are more expensive

[proud jay]

currently using gateron milky yellows

nothing fancy

but they're nice

[summer cedar]

Cherry Reds on mine.

[proud jay]

linear though

had fake holy pandas before

love those

[cursive crypt]

oh, yea

You are into linears?

[summer cedar]

CoPilot says the kangaroos have a slightly scratchy texture; true?

[proud jay]

but typing a lot a lot on tactile switches started to give me finger strain

so that's why I tried linears

I had Boba U4T tactiles as well

[cursive crypt]

hmm... my biggest issue with linears was that I was unable to rest my fingers comfortably.

[proud jay]

but they were too heavy for my taste

[cursive crypt]

I have heard pretty good things about them.

[celest musk]

pretty much all cherry, except for the low profile, are <$1

[proud jay]

that must have been really low resistance

[celest musk]

i thought they would ask $5 or smth for them :>

[cursive crypt]

cherry red

[celest musk]

maybe for the caps

[proud jay]

I don't think I ever had original cherry switches lol

[cursive crypt]

Most are below a buck, but you need a lot of them 😄

[cursive crypt]

They shipped with my first corsair kbd

[celest musk]

are they usually soldered or just plugged on the PCB?

[cursive crypt]

both

[proud jay]

I think hot swap is more popular for people that are into it

[cursive crypt]

You have this hot swapable variant on the pcb, kinda socket

It is amazing world.

[summer cedar]

Yeah, the cherry reds have low resistance, for sure.

I barely rest my fingers on the key and it registers a stroke.

[celest musk]

you should eat healthier then

[cursive crypt]

And more amazing words.
From strawbery milks, to kangaroos, to jazz bananas

[summer cedar]

I imagine I could literally learn super-feather-light-typing.

[celest musk]

i had a capacitive industry keyboard laying around once, it was the worst experience ever

[summer cedar]

But, mech boards are just so much more fun than membrane ones to type.

It feels so nice.

[proud jay]

why are you resting on your keyboard through your fingers

[celest musk]

like typing on a piece of metal

[proud jay]

like when typing you float above the board

but if you rest, just put your wrist down lol

[summer cedar]

So I can press S to shit on demand.

[proud jay]

interesting
