people here is up 40 years old, figure out how the hell they will have kids lol

proud jay
#

oof

median wraith
#

main reason because we are losing people since years

fathom wadi
#

they are going to make me do the "free labour" thing in 2 weeks also. Which sucks because I won't have time to do any unreal engine work. It's like a nightmare for me. This is all I have done for the last 15 years.

median wraith
#

the economy isn't doing well here, and we got the biggest taxes ratio on lower income +-

proud jay
median wraith
# proud jay

yeah but at least there you guys get more income + the helps and reductions

fathom wadi
#

no when we became homeless I obviously had to stop because my computer was in storage. When we got this house last February I decided to try start a company. I ended up making 3 prototypes for games which I needed funding and employees to complete, but nothing happened. So I decided for the last 3 months I was going to write plugins for the Fab store. Make some passive income so this doesn't happen again.

median wraith
#

we are on a fight it looks like

#

still winning

#

we are paying more in taxes than what we get in income

#

we need to reconquest

fathom wadi
#

why they tax people who earn under 15k is beyond me. They should be giving those people a pass and putting a percent on the top earners to make up for it

median wraith
#

Here is a funny thing

#

if you don't work you get a payment each month

#

idk if is like 600€ per month

proud jay
proud jay
#

if I would become unemployed I think I get like 1.7k or something

fathom wadi
#

if you consider the spending power scenario, it's better to have circulatory spending rather than direct tax, as direct tax doesn't facilitate the round robin when put through sales taxes. It's wasted money. Much better to give the low earners the spending power to keep cycling multiple tax payments per euro.

proud jay
median wraith
#

if you get more than 2.5k per month you cannot opt to get a public protected house aka the ones reduced by 25% the cost, if you don't work you get 600€ per month and you are able to, and at the last the normal worker maybe get 1400€ or 1600€ per month so at this point why is doijng the effort ?

proud jay
#

cause you get cheap housing, cheap electricity, cheap child care...

median wraith
fathom wadi
#

not yet. When I have at least a couple of hundred coming in monthly from the Fab store, or more if I can think of the plugins/assets. Something to fall back on in case the department for work and pensions decide to put me into a nightmare job instead 😄

median wraith
#

so technically the less you do the more you do, in some people vision

proud jay
median wraith
#

and the health care public system here is fooked since some years ago, you need to wait a year just for a check

#

a blood test is taking me a whole month for example

#

had to wait 11 months for a skin care check

fathom wadi
#

I have some friends who live in Spain for the minimum amount they have to as ex-patriots. Then they come back when they need NHS treatment. Then they complain about immigrants and I'm like "Wait a minute..... 🧐 "

median wraith
#

lol

#

well this country is fine if you come with the money sack

fathom wadi
#

they did that. Spent their retirement money on a place in Benalmadena

#

nice place tbh

median wraith
#

oh yeah the typical

#

problem is we got for example

#

a lot of people that don't even have papers living here for years

#

but somehow the government give them a health care card, just if they live somewhere, despite they don't have country ID

#

and they have access to the hospitals and basically the whole health care, many people using it to get for free some operations

#

then you are paying each month it like an stupid to wait more than a year

proud jay
#

like if you wanna see an eye doctor it can be like 5-7 months

fathom wadi
#

I had to wait 4 years here to see a dermatologist because I was itching 24/7, I felt like I was going insane. Almost sent myself to oblivion because of it. And it turned out to be caused by a mistake from the G.P with my medication. I was livid.

just have to convince my wife to let me quit my job so I can make fab assets

fathom wadi
#

well hopefully it will work out. I've no problem spitting out plugins if I have the ideas. I do have a list of a few to make to keep me going and my current one is only a couple of days from first release completion status.

I tried on mobile and w/ Ollama version

summer cedar

Were you teleported to a jail cell?

mild gust
#

Mobile it was censored af

#

Ollama was able to ask but it was trying to be as unbiased as possible.

#

Wrote an entire essay about Mao Zedong

summer cedar
#

I think everyone's been showing him everything about Deepseek.

mild gust
#

It's blowing up

#

It would make sense the CPC would want to censor it to some degree

#

OpenAI is somewhat biased in it's own way anyways

cursive crypt

mild gust
#

To distance themselves from their past

cursive crypt
#

99% humans are biased (ego problems).

mild gust
#

Also from what I understand they just interchange them

summer cedar
#

So long as they don't censor nsfw, most peeps will be happy.

#

everything else is fiddly bits.

mild gust
#

I told it to make a steamy story

It declined

summer cedar

Are you sure you didn't get teleported to a jail cell?

mild gust

Pretty sure

I would'nt be able to use my fingers probably

I get creeped out talking to my AI.

summer cedar

Voice support is necessary, when your fingers are broken.

#

It's basic accessibility.

mild gust
#

True

#

I need to turn on t2s

summer cedar
#

In all seriousness, I am eager to see what novel applications develop out of this open source model.

#

If it's truly a low-resource hogger, then we ought to see more practical applications of it IRL, hopefully.

#

...with voice support.

"AI, toast some bread for me!" and the toaster turns on.

More importantly, if there's no bread in the fridge, the AI should chastise me early in the morning.

fathom wadi
#

I wonder why nobody has made a SporeAI that works like a Tamagochi. You got to feed it information and prompts to keep it growing. It starts out with barely anything but the knowledge of the code it was created in and how to develop new modules/plugins to add functionality or datasets. Eventually leading to a personal AI assistant you raised like a child or a pet.

Hehe. I was hoping MS would make something like that almost a year and a half ago.

mild gust

Then it's like super brain ai

soft night

Japan honestly missed out on that opportunity.

#

Given they made the Tamagocha, they should've done it a year or so ago.

Nvidia lost lots of stock after Deepseek R1 release

mild gust

As they should

you would think it would have raised it considering now more people will emulate what they did to reduce the costs

they made a comeback recently and my son had one

i used the fishtank one too

cursive crypt
#

I would expect something like pokemon breeding.

summer cedar
fathom wadi
#

makes sense

summer cedar
#

Although I bet a lot of the drop is due to the usual general public overreacting and panicking.

fathom wadi
#

thats always the case with stocks which aren't on the S&P500

#

the fact it happened to Nvidia won't be a setback tho long term

summer cedar

Yeah. In a week or two, I expect a new 'normal' to be established.

Every time I read the patch notes for UE's releases, I feel like the whole program has changed. 😄

#

--- Ultimately, using External Data Layers allows for various Game Feature plugins to add actors into levels without affecting the base game content making them ideal for DLCs and live game operation. ---

#

This seems like a nice addition.

summer cedar
#

Reading Unreal Engine patch notes completely should net you at least a certificate, if not a diploma.

celest musk

ouch, doom dark ages confirmed inflation

and they ask $80 on release

summer cedar

yuck

it might be on Game Pass though.

Yeah. It will be.

That means indie games will be 40, hurray

summer cedar
#

So, this USD format can contain an entire 3D model, its textures, animation rigs, sequences, etc.?

fathom wadi
#

kind of. Most scene objects are supported but you can code stuff into it to allow other things not supported too

summer cedar
#

The patch notes seem to indicate they have improved upon the format's support.

#

Also, streamlined the way it loads the assets (levels) inside the file.

fathom wadi
#

yeah there has been quite a refactor on asset loading methods in the engine recently to avoid over-loading on assets. Especially in editor

summer cedar
#

It's a lot to take in. Kudos to Epic for putting so much work into the engine.

fathom wadi
#

yet people still complain there are bugs in the millions of lines of code for a multi-tasking, free game/VP/Archviz/Sim engine.

summer cedar
#

😄

fathom wadi
#

I just laugh when I dig into the code and see "TODO: .... " or some comment about fixing this later. Because I do that with my own code and always come back to it 🙂

#

my current plugin in development fixes some unfinished code in the engine. It didn't seem to be getting any attention so I decided to take it into my own hands. No point complaining about it when I can fix it from the source they give us.

summer cedar
#

At least you can code. 🙂

#

I haven't added that to my repertoire.

#

I mean I can do small thingies, but nothing substantial.

proud jay

Probably until it's someone's name.

Pretty fuckin much

#

If everyone is so against piracy then how about giving better varieties of shows to watch instead of 8 episode long canceled series

summer cedar
#

With ref. to anime, it's a point that's being debated in Japan for awhile.

#

Some studios have got with the times and used internationally coordinated release dates.

#

But, a lot of the studios are too lazy, or not interested in international releases.... so, we have the current situation.

#

Ironically, they are also the ones LOUDLY complaining about anime piracy.

errant raven
#

Crunchyroll isnt even any better than hulu, lulu, Zulu, hbo, ABC, netflix, Disney+, disney-, Disney×, disney÷, tubi, zubi, hubi, oob, toob, etc

errant raven
summer cedar
#

No, it's not about translations.

#

It's just their conservative style of doing things.

#

Japan is just.... slow.

#

Also, you can't blame Crunchyroll or any of those platforms. They can't air stuff they don't get licenses for.

I meant big corporations

proud jay
#

well they want to extract as much money with as little effort of course

errant raven
#

Theyd have more money to buy more streaming licenses if they stopped making their own garbage no one wants and canceling them

#

Netflix is bad for that, I dont know why that's the only one we pay for now. They have nothing good, it's all mostly been replaced by their garbage

proud jay
#

because the garbage they make they own

#

so everything after making it is free money forever

errant raven
#

But no one likes their garbage, that's why it constantly gets cancelled

#

The one piece live action was actually really good tho. But nah, make a shitty avatar live action instead

errant raven
#

Chained soldier is also international, but crunchyroll dont have it.

#

I know it isnt due to what's in it, because they have mushoku tensei, neon genesis evangelion, and other ecchi/nudist battle animes.

maybe Trump can sign an executive order to release all anime to the public

how's your book coming along

summer cedar

16 chapters done and slowly gaining a following. 😄

I need to update its glossary though. I am lagging behind on that by 6 chapters. If I procrastinate further, I'll have to re-read over half of my own book. 😄

I also need to update its mind map with the latest story progression.

#

But tonight, I'll record several game demos for YT first.

proud jay
#

or you just keep going?

summer cedar
#

100,000 words. So, the web novel will probably have 67 chapters.

#

Then it'll keep going for book 2/3/4, etc. probably.

proud jay
#

so something along ~400 pages if it were a book then I guess

summer cedar
#

Pretty much.

#

I'll charge $1,000 to buy the print version and $10 to read each page.

It should tide me over for eggs in the US.

summer cedar

There's so much to do. The audio book, the video game, the p0rn live action movie with multiple parts....

Of course, all of this is preceded by the mammoth task of reading UE's patch notes.

is it me or does anyone else have to open unreal through this ? like right click on epic and then click on it?

#

i didnt see the option to put it as shortcut on desktop. Feels like epic prefer me to go this longer route for some reason

proud jay

#

That what I did anyway.

#

Tho I put it on the file manager.

#

You can even make a shortcut from the .uproject file itself

#

Comes in handy when you add cpp to the project and it starts giving you the project generated with a diff version error

summer cedar
#

You could also program your digital assistant to start UE with a voice command.

"Begin Toiling." - opens UE.

Kinda nice to hear that 5080 sux big time. Combined with the r1, nvidia needs to get slapped hard.

summer cedar
#

I am waiting for The Leviathan Fantasy's game dev to send me a replacement key for the new Steam listing.

#

Nice of the devs to send keys to everyone who purchased the first listing.

#

Apparently, their publisher screwed them big time and they had to relist the game by themselves.

CEOs think our best

#

From what I saw from GamerNexus, it is on average just 10% better than 4080, but few hundred buch more expensive. Nice.

summer cedar
#

🤣 5090 - Rs.214,000/-, only slightly less than the cost of my entire new PC.

#

On the other hand, the price for Zotac's 24GB 4090 has tanked.

#

Only Zotac's. The others are still pricey.

Yeah, there is a gap between 5080 and 5090 now. Someone said it is 4090ti actually 🙂

wtf

#

someone sent me a letter

#

didn't put enough postage on it

#

so I had to pay for it

#

I finally get the letter

summer cedar
#

Yeah, I remember.

#

What was in it?

proud jay
#

and it's just a blank piece of paper and someone wrote fuck you on it

#

I'm so confused

#

who did I wrong

summer cedar
#

maybe that supersmart illuminati guy.

proud jay
#

like wtf

#

who does that

summer cedar
#

Oh.

#

That's a prank.

proud jay
#

anyway, I'm keeping the enveloppe, if I ever see the handwriting again I know who to fuck up

summer cedar
#

Several people probably got similar letters.

#

That's decent cursive, actually.

proud jay
#

it like has to be someone I know right

summer cedar
#

not necessarily

#

could be a prankster doing it to many people

proud jay
#

but what's the point

summer cedar
#

making you waste your money and knowing that they made you waste it, I guess.

#

And quite possibly ruining your mood.

proud jay
#

I'm just very confused tbh

#

I don't care if it's a prank

#

I just wonder if there's actually someone that hates me

summer cedar
#

I think not.

#

It doesn't seem to be written with hate.

#

To me, it reads like a prankster.

proud jay
#

anyone, I will now forever be inspecting handwriting

summer cedar
#

🤣

proud jay
#

and if I ever catch the motherfucker

#

I will ruin their life

summer cedar
#

🤔 Did anyone get fired from your office recently?

#

Or quit?

#

Because 'fuck you' letters are apparently a thing.

proud jay
#

not recently

summer cedar
#

then it's probably a prank.

#

Isn't there a way to trace which post office the letter came from?

proud jay
#

well I know the city it came from

grim gate
#

heya

proud jay
#

cause of the stamp

#

but 300k people live there

#

sure

summer cedar
#

🤔 If you feel vindictive, try to find the post office, perhaps by visiting any post office there and asking.

proud jay
#

but they could've just put it in a mailbox in the street

summer cedar
#

If you can narrow a search radius down, you could possibly spot someone who'd feel angry at you.

summer cedar
#

And if things pan out, an assassination opportunity.

proud jay
#

the only thing I can think of is a dude that I gave my adress recently for his wedding invite

#

but doesn't match his writing

#

could be his boyfriend thogh

summer cedar
#

getting a wedding invitation is hardly a reason to send an f-u letter, unless he got divorced at the time.

#

When you handed him the invitation, did you have a blissful smile on your face, or just a dour expression conveying the hardship and bleakness of life in general?

proud jay
#

nono

#

I gave them my adress for them to send a wedding invitation

summer cedar
#

Then, it's probably not them.

#

unless they got divorced and the boyfriend blames you.

proud jay
#

I will find out some day

#

whoever wrote it has a very distinctive way of writing the letter a

summer cedar
#

the letter a?

#

in fuck you?

proud jay
#

in my name and adress

summer cedar
#

Ah.

#

You should give that out on the internet, too.

#

That way you'd get many targets to murder.

proud jay
#

my revenge will be sweet

#

anyway

#

what games did you play today?

summer cedar
#

I burned many people with 🔥 in Total War Kingdoms.

proud jay

sounds like a good day of work

summer cedar

I also did actual work.... a bit.

teaching?

or writing?

or recording?

no, no. YT video editing.

The money torture is about 5 hours as usual.

if they pay you for it can't be that bad

It should just fall from my ceiling every morning in slightly copious amounts.

I wish life was that easy

I found out who wrote the letter

that was fast.

it was my best friend lol

are you sure you didn't just do a Trump?

summer cedar
proud jay
#

ok second best friend

summer cedar
#

it should die in concrete.

#

luckily, some of it should still be wet in that house site of yours.

#

He should've paid the postage though.

proud jay
#

yeah

summer cedar
#

How could he have been sure that you'd pay for it?

proud jay
#

apparently he actually forgot lol

summer cedar
#

👀

#

That's an achievement.

#

You could beat him up for that amount though.

#

In cents, shillings, or pennies, whichever you guys use.

errant raven
#

I suckered out and got crunchyroll premium

proud jay

he said he would give me a postage stamp to make up

🤔 he could pay for a window instead.

No I watched a different anime that wasnt on my list

Now I'm watching darling in Franxx because crunchy wont let me watch bikini warriors

I will probably have nothing to watch tomorrow.

idk much anime

you can ask Eren

I wish they'd release Solo Levelling as an entire season at once.

proud jay
#

he's a weeb

errant raven

Eren left

Or blocked me one

probably blocked

but he sometimes comes online still

@timber viper

I assume with VPN

errant raven

Not blocked

proud jay

you can still tag people that block you I think

#

he might not get the notification

errant raven
#

Not anymore

proud jay

but you can still mention him

summer cedar
#

Yeah, you can ping peeps who block you.

#

It just turns normal text colour

I'll block you, try pinging me in 30 sec

They did make it ti where you cant react to anything posted by someone who blocked you

That's true.

proud jay
#

yes that's true

summer cedar
#

But, that's also bugged sometimes.

errant raven
#

After quintessential quintuplets, I started watching more romance animes

#

Kinda like it more than the ecchi booba ones

summer cedar
#

Stuff like that is probably what got you blocked in the first place.

Or..... 😱 worse.

errant raven
#

Yes wrose

I'm glad I picked up that framed canvas image of her last year on my birthday

summer cedar

picked up, as in stole from a baby?

#

or purchased with $$$?

errant raven
#

No I bought it from a nerd shop

#

Imma get my brother to take me there today

#

I wanna get more stickers

#

Oh yeah I completely forgot about that dedicated anime shop too

#

I need a job

summer cedar
#

That should've occurred to you when your debt first started.

#

Also, just sell cats.

errant raven
#

My debt isnt that bad

summer cedar
#

Yeah, but the 'job' thing should've occurred to you at that time. 😄

errant raven
#

I already paid off about 3-4k?

Only 11-12k left

summer cedar
#

Congrats. Keep going.

errant raven

I will, if it means I get to buy more waifu portraits

@proud jay Did you murder your friend yet?

#

Or reorganise his organs?

errant raven
#

The burden of socialization shan't hold me

summer cedar
#

Anything that drives you to be a better yourself.

proud jay
#

I need to come up with a plan

#

maybe I should shit in a box and send it to him

summer cedar
#

that'd take effort, though.

errant raven
#

No, I need to buy things to make my room look less bland and depressing first

#

Nothing over the top and extreme, just a few waifus here and there. Some 40k figurines scattered about

#

Oh yeah I also watched the live action version of prison school today

definitely metadata

haven't tried to use tags so idk

#

well you can use whatever you want

#

that's just a matter of your host setup

#

I use nginx for the subdomain things

summer cedar
#

If you're using a CMS for your website, there ought to be several plugins meant for that CMS itself.

proud jay
#

yup

#

it also has face detection and all

#

so you can find all pictures of a specific person

#

all running locally

summer cedar
#

Photos are so last year.
Just set up an AI image generator to create whatever memories you deem appropriate, or inappropriate in Ambulance's case.

"Wow. I just remembered the five kids I went to the circus with last year," and presto! The AI gives you two humans, two trandoshan kids, and one baby yoda.

Many people got theirs in a few hours. A few got theirs after eight days.

#

Love that approximate range.

proud jay
#

what dev?

summer cedar
#

The Leviathan's Fantasy.

#

His publisher screwed him over and the first listing of the game was delisted by Steam.

#

He had to relist it and was nice enough to offer replacement keys for existing users.

#

In other news, Amplitude sent me access to Endless Legend 2. 😄

#

😍

#

If you played Majesty 1 or 2, it's that, but in Wuxia / Xanxia.

#

Crown of Greed (another demo) is a more typical Western fantasy sequel to Majesty.

#

Okay, redeemed my key. 😄

#

DAMN! The other game's dev's reply just came through. 😄

#

Polite guy. 🙂

#

Okay, well that's a great way to end my day at 2:00 a.m. 😄

I do have to suppress this eagerness to play EL 2 right now, though.

Quintessential quintuplets

#

Newer one?

errant raven
#

It's from 2020 or so

#

Hmm

#

I'll check it out

errant raven
#

It's a romance anime

errant raven
#

No boobas or booty, just love story

A damn good love story

#

Fair

errant raven

I'm still crying from it man

Idk story sometimes gets me into things so i'll check it out

#

Not big on love stories but

errant raven
#

It's worth a watch man

#

It's so good

summer cedar
#

Danmachi and Solo Levelling for me.

#

Tate no Yusha (Rising of the Shield Hero) is also quite good.

errant raven
#

Man if hokkaido gals are super adorable got a second season itd be up there in my top 5

mild gust
#

One of my favourite was drifters but it got a bit odd.

errant raven
#

But darling in Franxx, chained soldier, quintessential quintuplets, neon genesis evangelion, and konosuba is there rn

#

Peak list

#

Akame ga kill too, damn its hard to pick 5

#

And soul eater

#

I have 30 favorite animes okay

mild gust
#

lol

#

It's a loaded question tbf

#

There's too many good ones

#

It's like asking a favourite food

errant raven
#

Nah quintessential quintuplets is my favorite favorite

#

I just cant have a top 5

summer cedar
#

Solo Levelling tops even Attack on
Titan on brutality.

mild gust
#

😮

summer cedar
#

They really cut the fight scene timings close.

mild gust
#

I keep putting that one off ngl

summer cedar
#

It's so close that when a character swings his weapon to start a fight, you do end up getting jarred sometimes.

#

Danmachi is great for world and character building. It's more of an epic though, at this point. Good for the light novel author.

errant raven
#

Is it wrong to try and pick up girls in a dungeon was so good too

summer cedar
#

Yep. That's Danmachi.

errant raven
#

Campfire cooking in another world with my absurd skills was great

summer cedar
#

I seriously thought it was a hentai anime when I saw the poster.

#

But, I always see at least one episode or two of an anime, before dumping it.

#

So, I did that with Danmachi and was hooked.

errant raven
#

I usually watch the whole series before I dump it

summer cedar
#

I actually BOUGHT the light novels, too, as expensive as they are.

errant raven
#

Not much use to me when I finish it

summer cedar
#

That's not dumping. That's finding your next drug fix.

errant raven
#

Tell me about it

summer cedar
#

Luckily, lots of new anime released recently.

errant raven
#

Yeah but doubt a lot of them will get season 2s

#

They're just fillers for more popular stuff

summer cedar
#

No season for love, no reason for love.

#

Never expect another season.

#

Just enjoy the story and continue it with an AI generator. 😄

errant raven
#

To luv ru I still gotta watch

summer cedar
#

Actually, those animes usually have light novels that do continue the story and properly conclude it.

#

So, it does pay to go read the books, if you like an S1 anime.

errant raven
#

2.5 dimensional seduction as well

#

I'll use all anime for manga

Created a small sink hole. A truck driver and his truck fell in.

#

They pulled half the truck out. The hole became bigger.

#

Driver's still inside. Possibly dead.

#

seems likely

#

maybe the Japanese PM can ask mexico to pay for it

#

maybe Russia, if they decide the bury the dead dude and his half of the truck inside.

#

No need to pay for a fresh foundation then.

#

Also, they have asked residents in the area to use the sewage system less.

oh he's been in the hole for 3 days

#

Seems impractically silly, imo.

#

we might get a government today

#

the alternative is chaos

#

in belgium?

proud jay
#

yes

summer cedar
#

Did the old one get a bomb in the mail or something?

proud jay
#

well no

summer cedar
#

And had to pay its postage and became bankrupt?

proud jay
#

but there were elections

#

back in june

summer cedar
#

ah, those.

proud jay
#

so the old government is still running things till there's a new one

#

but they can't introduce any new legislature and stuff like that

summer cedar
#

Is the new one worth a penny, or two?

proud jay
#

we'll see

summer cedar
#

Hope they work out.

proud jay
#

they seemed like a good thing at the start

#

but after dragging everything out idk

summer cedar
#

At least the leader might not blame diversity for bad waffles or something.

#

@proud jay So, has your house's foundation solidified?

proud jay
#

I hope so

#

#

This was tuesday

summer cedar
#

remember to invite some priests to bless the bricks, in the name of the Emperor.

#

That looks good.
