buy shed fix shed then buy cart with shed

[white oxide]

They are building a huge 140 home development across the street. having a cheap to run hauler will make it fun to grab the waste materials

and i can always see if they are willing to hire a guy for basic security

can do some rounds late at night to prevent theft

[tulip orbit]

from anyone other than you

[white oxide]

i only steal the stuff they are throwing out

luckily i was raised by an electrical engineer

Nice

Electroboom is entertaining none the less lol

Be fun to watch him tinker with something irl

[white oxide]

yeah

tbh im hoping my disability re-evaluation comes through soon, an additional $400 a month would really help with funding all these projects

[mild gust]

Just search through best buy dumpsters

or go ask ma and pa tech stores if they have any stock they are decommissioning or throwing out.

[white oxide]

I mean tech is nice

but i need stuff i can use around my house

and this little brute would really help

especially when i get done building hauling attachments

[soft night]

linus tech tips did upgrade for setup for electroboom

[white oxide]

honestly i could probably make a youtube series out of this stupid cart

[soft night]

soon marshal is superstar YT for cart

[white oxide]

getting it, cleaning it, refurbishing it, fixing it up, building the various random things to fit on that bed and to be towed

may be time to go actually get a welding certificate

family would absolutely pay for that

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/tony-stark-iron-man-avengers-end-game-nebula-gif-14125776

[white oxide]

plus its a potential at home business

remember my old gokart had a few issues and this guy just down the road, for like $300 fixed a bunch of them with a welding system. took them like 20 minutes

If i could do that. plus offering welding to that development across the road

have my little golf kart with the welder in the back

[mild gust]

But you can re-sell the tech

[white oxide]

thats usually a very slow proccess

took me 3 weeks to sell some stupid couches for free

and im still trying to sell some watches

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/battery-exploding-cellphone-repair-german-boy-gif-25443459

well repair shop too

[white oxide]

hah

honestly i think the biggest problem im going to run into with this cart is that almost nothing can lift it

its almost a full ton

would make it pretty damned hard to steal

you need a trailer with substantial load capacity

1,000 and 1,500 pound trailers are common, but this thing with no one on it is 1800

need more jacks...

lord the amount of stuff i need to get...

[proud jay]

well, money mostly

[white oxide]

yeah that too

but its proving hard to do while disabled

part time remote jobs simply dont seem to exist

like im good with customers, and i dont mind dealing with total idiots

just need the resources to make the stuff to make myself money

What we really need is to genetically modify ourselves to be bear-furry and enable hibernation mode.

[proud jay]

did you buy one of those color scanners?

[summer cedar]

Nowadays, when I look back at the book cover I designed for Ember Tell seven months ago, I just have to pat myself on the back (not that I can reach all the way back there in a pat gesture).

It looks pretty well done, if I do say so myself. 😄

[unborn lotus]

How much money did you make

[summer cedar]

Peanuts, since it's not commercially sold yet.

I have to write about 50 chapters more before I release the first book.

I am updating the glossary., now. Let's see how fast I can read 6 chapters straight. 😄

[cursive crypt]

Color scanner? Colorimeter? I had one, yes, I would be happy with a spectrograph, but I'm not giving few K euro just for that...

Interestingly, it looks like colors under 16 RGB are the most unprecise ~2E on both 🤔

[summer cedar]

2 chapters read. Nothing to add to the glossary.

That took all of 6 or 8 minutes.

😄

Spoke too soon. Chapter 3, new glossary entry.

[proud jay]

I hate glossaries

I don't wanna check a made up dictionary while reading a book

[summer cedar]

Fans end up making wikis for books though, at least fantasy ones.

[summer cedar]

I just HAD to find that one chapter where there are multiple entries to be made.

😱

I love that google knows what a leathersmith is and MS Word's dictionary doesn't.

Ohkay, 2 more chapters to go.

[summer cedar]

Brandon Sanderson speaks well. 🙂

[proud jay]

I'm watching the latest lecture atm

[summer cedar]

All done. 🙂 Time to insert the new entries all over the place online.

I forgot that Wattpad's content editor is substandard, to be polite.

[proud jay]

don't you just need a text editor?

[summer cedar]

Someone should have told Wattpad that.

Pasting there from Word directly is a NO-NO-NO.

I had forgotten about that.

[proud jay]

why's that?

[summer cedar]

It doesn't play well with Word's own formatting. Words at the end of your sentences will be missing spaces, full stops / periods will be missing, line spaces will be jumbled.

So, I copy-paste from Scribblehub instead, which has a much better, Word friendly editor that doesn't screw the formatting up.

[proud jay]

that's strange

maybe it helps when you paste without formatting? (ctrl + shift + v)

[summer cedar]

I'll try that next time; thanks.

🤔 Interesting. Royal Road has a warning for using a feature called Clean Paste (which is probably what Ctrl + Shift + V is).

They say it'll screw up MS Word's paragraph spacing if it's enabled.

[proud jay]

idk

I don't use those writing things

I just know that I hate it when I copy paste something and it's a different color or 7 times as big as expected

and then just repaste without formatting

[summer cedar]

At least I work fast enough to not waste too much time with such silly stuff.

Web Novel just BOLD formatted my entire glossary for no reason. 😄

All fixed.

And, done. 😄

[proud jay]

is the book done though

[summer cedar]

Not yet.

Roughly 43 chapters to go, assuming it stops at 60 for book one.

[proud jay]

I'll make a celebration bread when it's done

[summer cedar]

I'll eat it and all the other breads in between.

I just remembered for the third time today; I have to update the story's mind map in X-Mind.

---

Trump's a great man, people.

He has single-handedly shown America's greatest enemy who's boss.

Those Canadians are incensed. 😄

[proud jay]

did something happen?

[summer cedar]

He slapped tariffs on them and the rate is HIGHER than his other victims.

[soft night]

windus some canadian journalist pointed out something what was on forbes too

[summer cedar]

I was listening to the Canadian minister for something, something.

Either way, the clown show is great.

I hope something good comes out of it.

[unborn lotus]

then canada started tarrifs on usa

then usa will increase tarrifs in retaliation

[summer cedar]

Retaliatory tarrifs have already been announced.

Mexico made some kind of deal - allegedly - to mitigate the tarrifs for another month.

If anything, this is a great inspiration for a story of squirrel nations, where squirrel ambassadors are scampering about to put the forest fires out.

Spoiler alert - Canada is not the primary problem.

While it's tempting to believe the online chatter, cool facts speak louder than hot takes.

Canada agreed in December to do more, despite years of evidence of more drugs, guns,...

[median wraith]

this took a while isn't it?

And I just noticed this tidbit - you can upgrade the FSR 3.1. projects to use FSR 4 using their upgradable FSR API.

technically you just need to replace a dll

why you need that?

oh no

I don't even want to make a 25GB game personally as indie self made, a different topic is for clients

[summer cedar]

You could probably build one of those Vietnamese/Thai bamboo-type buildings to run a temporary/rudimentary cafe.

It'd save a ton of money to start.

OR just steal one of those storage containers from Marshall Hawke.

[errant raven]

Yeah I might just steal of @white oxide containers

I'll go by Japanese manga cafe charge rates, but make it to where I make just enough to keep the place open and stocked. And also getting new manga. So it can actually be afforadable and enjoyed

[errant raven]

My guy just said "can I get some mouth to can to mouth action"

He probably wants an old-style telephone.

Solo Levelling's music beat is really nice.

Does someone knows how df to move the f taskbar in win11. I see only a binary hacks or a paid tool, wtf m$

[summer cedar]

@zinc matrix This is why grim feast is op. 😄

[fleet tangle]

To move ti where?

[cursive crypt]

In the center, I want it a pixel away.

But to the side will be good enough.

[fathom wadi]

I recall my taskbar was centred when I installed Win11, but I moved it to a normal position. So there is a way to switch between those two but a custom position would definitely need some kind of hacky solutions

this is where I set it but it's enum'd into left or centre only

[cursive crypt]

ye, one can move only the buttons.

Just wait for Win 12.
The taskbar will be mailed by post to you daily, and you'll pay the postage each time.

there is startallback

give the windows 10 taskbar

and all the other win10 ui

[proud jay]

imagine your OS, which you expect people to pay for, to be so shit, that you need to pay an external tool to fix it for you

[white oxide]

lol

tbh i think a lot of it is more UI

and at least they are trying

[fathom wadi]

I bought Win10, got 11 as a free upgrade. I have had zero issues with. I think the free version gets used to beta test things tbh. Like that latest update that broke everyone to a degree didn't get pushed to paid users.

I've been using windows 11 ever since beta

House will be weather tight by Friday night

God i can't wait for move in

Then i have a week to build all the cat furniture before i bring him inside

[summer cedar]

Looking good.

Hope it turns out just like you want it. 🙂

[white oxide]

Most expensive cat furniture will be the wall runners

Going to have to buy those

Like $180 usd

Plus a big honking roll of carpet

Like 200 yards

The cheapest carpet that isnt review bombed is $1 a square foot

Building basically these

[summer cedar]

16,000-20,000 rupees to carpet the whole house sounds okay. That comes to USD 200.

Although, do you really need carpet though?

I can get the bedroom, to keep it warm in winter. But, given rising summer temperatures, tiles might be better?

[white oxide]

Nono

Just put carpet on the cat stuff

The lvp on the human floor is like $6,000 usd

Im a big DIY guy

The runners will be above head level but still have plenty of room for a cat to sit up on

[summer cedar]

Wait....

[dusky shuttle]

don't have a cat, spare yourself some work

[summer cedar]

Say what? $6,000 to carpet the whole house?

[white oxide]

I have an orange cat

[summer cedar]

That includes labour fees, right?

right????

[white oxide]

Plank it

But yeah

[summer cedar]

Just googled it. 2k to 6k to 9k.

Yeesh.

[white oxide]

Yeah

1100 square feet of human flooring

Its my home but my cats going to be my roommate

So im building him a LOT of furniture

[errant raven]

Maybe binging anime isnt the best

[white oxide]

Best way to keep cats from ripping your stuff is to give them other stuff to rip

[errant raven]

I'm quickly running out of the ones I enjoy and am struggling to find more to watch

[white oxide]

And im good at over engineering stuff

[errant raven]

I only have 23 hours left

It feels wrong to watch nekopara with my cat sleeping beside me

[summer cedar]

How much furniture does a cat need?

Also, don't you need to build prisons for bad coders?

[white oxide]

My cat needs to be spoiled

[white oxide]

Bullets are cheaper

[summer cedar]

But more definite.

You want to prolong the punishments.

[white oxide]

I mean never said death. But they dont need kneecaps to learn better coding

[summer cedar]

Fair. But you'd have to shell out for medical care.

The whip and cat claws require less medical attention.

[white oxide]

Then its into the wood chipper feet first

Just make sure the shoot sprays into a poultry farm

[summer cedar]

Huh. Organic fertiliser.

I endorse.

[white oxide]

Chickens are opportunistic cannibals. Human flesh isn't that far out there

[summer cedar]

Well, I'd say it's well-deserved vengeance.

They must bear a terrible grudge against KFC.

[white oxide]

I am starved for some meat

I got a hunk of beef in the air fryer. No seasoning or anything.

I'm in too much of rush for meat

[summer cedar]

just eat a cow

before it's deported

[errant raven]

Dont have cow

[summer cedar]

steal one

[errant raven]

Just cow thigh

In an air fryer

I think this cut is the thigh

It's a chuck roast, its above the thighs on the front legs

Chewy meat is better than fall off the bone

[summer cedar]

enjoy.
Why aren't you adding seasoning?

[errant raven]

I told you

I'm in a rush

[summer cedar]

But, adding seasoning takes a few seconds?

like you just use the bottle to sprinkle some of it?

[errant raven]

I have to make the best of the last 21 hours with crunchy roll

I didn't even thaw the meat put

[summer cedar]

Yeah, that's okay. But, you can add seasoning while watching anime.

Oregano, sprinkle, sprinkle.

[errant raven]

I just chucked the chuck in the microwave, sawed it in half and tossed in air fryer

[summer cedar]

chilli flakes, sprinkle, sprinkle.

[errant raven]

Plus I'm feeling really sick, might be a stomach bug

I'm hoping meat will help since I havent had any in a while

Probably what it is tho, I do get like this without having some form of red meat

[summer cedar]

or stomach meds

[errant raven]

This anime is really short but adorable

I checked out their shop they linked in the credit, found thos

It's like 8 bucks so

Ahhhhhh its fuckin giving some quick facts on java script and html

I dont want that information

[mild gust]

Yeah gross who wants that

[errant raven]

I feel much much better now

Beef is a miracle elixir

[summer cedar]

are you sure you had stomach pain in the first place?

Or were you just starving?

[errant raven]

Yeah my stomach's been bothering me for a few days now

And anconstant urge to vomit

[summer cedar]

go to a...... you know, doctor?

[errant raven]

Beef heals all

[summer cedar]

It's a very modern invention, doctors.

But those do help.

[errant raven]

The succulent meaty juices flowing into my mouth

It's so good even unseasoned

I didnt even let it rest, I just devoured a slab

Maybe I was just starving, i dont remember eating in the last few days

Aside from a single bag of chips a slice of pizza

[errant raven]

I use it when I have the flu or a cold. It's so comfy

[summer cedar]

It's true. Waifu pillows are cheaper than waifu humans.

BUT, it doesn't account for waifu cats and beavers.

Those can be stolen.... FOR FREE!

Why would I want a katana made by modern smiths

[summer cedar]

Because some of them are super pretty.

[errant raven]

I want old katanas made by legendary historic figures

[summer cedar]

I want this one. I love the blue sheath.

[errant raven]

If I go to japan, I'd leave with a few Jinjei, yutakas, and kimonos 2 for each season.

Maybe some fancy pillows and materials

[proud jay]

no waifu?

or are those the pillows?

[errant raven]

Regular pillows

Maybe a nice tea set too, definitely some tea

Ohhhh and some hakurei turnip seeds. They taste amazing

Pick up some Japanese farming experience

The anime stuff can wait for when I leave, I'd like to enjoy the food and life skills stuff first and foremost

[summer cedar]

Look at how pretty that hilt is.

[errant raven]

They don't call them hilts

[summer cedar]

Because English is not their language.

Use thy brain.

Problem is maintenance though.

These things look great in shops, maintained by their keepers.

Once they get into our pudgy, plebian hands, they rot.

[errant raven]

Dont need maintenance if you dont use it

[queen isle]

nice of unreal to reveal this after years of people complaining

[summer cedar]

They do.

You can't just keep the swords in their sheaths and ignore them.

There's some oiling procedure. I forget the details.

[errant raven]

Sure you can

[summer cedar]

Nope.

[errant raven]

That's nothing

[summer cedar]

It's the same with sushi knives too.

No, it's something. It's work.

Unless you think oil applies itself.

[errant raven]

Barely

You just give the blade a massage time to time

[summer cedar]

Anyway, after you get out of jail in Japan....

...come back to the US and post this to me.

It should be relatively cheap, given its condition.

Like Dieter, I am willing to pay the postage.

[errant raven]

What time does the sun come up

[summer cedar]

at dawn

when you start to see light.

if you see light when it's dark, you're probably dying and going to heaven.

[errant raven]

It comes up in 2 hours and 30 minutes

[summer cedar]

careful.

[errant raven]

I just need to turn on my grow light man

Investing in one of those auto timer things would be great

[summer cedar]

you could just DIY with a sensor, circuit board, and wires.

[errant raven]

Dont have any of that

[summer cedar]

get it from alibaba for cheap.

[errant raven]

And I dont have a laptop or pc to do the simple programming for that

[summer cedar]

you don't need to.

it's just turning on a switch.

I assume you want to save money to go to Japan and get arrested.

[errant raven]

They're 10 bucks

[soft night]

there is japanese kitchen knife what is very sharp

[summer cedar]

yes. sushi knives.

[errant raven]

Why would I get arrested in japan

[summer cedar]

I have a couple.

[errant raven]

I know how to behave in public

[summer cedar]

Because you are you.

Escape your future, you cannot.

[errant raven]

I'm also antisocial so its not like I'd be doing anything stupid

Aside from tripping, or pulling on a push door

[summer cedar]

So, when a police officer stops you on a random check and asks to see your passport......

your antisocial self will.... do what?

[errant raven]

Show the passport

[summer cedar]

I pray that you do.

[errant raven]

Why would I do that

[summer cedar]

because you are you.

Or hit him with a cow.

I'm not violent

I do have manners you know

Or speak to them in aggressive English.

Very easy to get in trouble over there.

So, no surprise really.

I wonder if they changed the AI names. I thought Lavender and Daddy were weird.

Nope. They're still using them, as of September 2024.

[errant raven]

Charging the enemy in the front seems like a good plan

[summer cedar]

Actually, if you're using drones, not much of a loss to be incurred by charging head on.

If anything, you uncover the enemy's turret and sniping locations.

Use follow up drones to bomb the targets.

[errant raven]

@summer cedar you havent said anything about that idea I mentioned

[summer cedar]

which idea?

[errant raven]

The one in dms

[summer cedar]

Oh yeah.

Make the project. Then we'll talk. 😛

[errant raven]

I need a pc

[summer cedar]

I remember you said something about buying one.

[errant raven]

And I'm not sure if unreal can do that kind of thing

[summer cedar]

a while back.

[errant raven]

Yeah I still havent found a job

It's hard

[summer cedar]

Nice to know around 5,000 devs made money.

Good, good. We must toil. We must succeed.

[unborn lotus]

well and many more made a lot more

[summer cedar]

Indeed.

We must draw inspiration from this and power up.

Gird our loins and crunch harder than ever before.

Create and charge $5 for clicking on New Game. This scam.... er, game must be made!

[errant raven]

Is that thing even possible to do

[summer cedar]

Make it happen. I believe in you!

✊

[errant raven]

Seems a bit resource expensive

[unborn lotus]

and about 500 games made over 300k

which is reitrement money

how hard is it to make a game in the top 500

[errant raven]

Hard

[unborn lotus]

but how hard

[errant raven]

Extremely difficult

[errant raven]

The answer is obvious and lies in the most famous creature in the resident evil games

Holy shit I'm dumb and overthink. They pulled what I wanted to do off on Nintendo gamecube hardware

Really changes everything and will make it easier to do

[proud jay]

is it though?

if you live in quite low CoL maybe

and a house paid off

[unborn lotus]

well 15k per year at 5%

but I mean retirement money as in quit your job and just make a game here and there

you know, fun things

not a wage slave

with golden cuffs

[proud jay]

idk if I would be very comfortable at 15k

especially if you would have a family

[errant raven]

15k a month?

[proud jay]

per year lol

15k per months I would be ballin

[errant raven]

15k a year is terrible

[proud jay]

well it's nice for not having to do anything

but hard to survive on

especially if you don't have a home paid off already

[errant raven]

You only get paid once a year?

That 15k is supposed to last 365 days?

[proud jay]

we're talking about living off of invested money

not for a job

[errant raven]

Oh side cash

[proud jay]

hristew said 300k is retirement money

[unborn lotus]

fine, take more money the first year

but you got a whole year you can do whatever

make another game

[errant raven]

300k is nice but not retirable

[unborn lotus]

that makes even MORE money

[proud jay]

well you would hope that

the only thing I'm argueing is that 300k would not make me retire

[errant raven]

Average cost of living on a yearly basis is 45-70k depending on where you live

That's just Bill's and food

[proud jay]

well, if you live in a third world country like america yeah

[errant raven]

300k usd but move to japan 😎

[unborn lotus]

5% is the lowest return probably, most years I see you can get 7-12%

[proud jay]

imagine how many body pillows you could buy for that money

[proud jay]

you have to look at the average really

[errant raven]

Almost 46 million yen

[proud jay]

stock market been crazy the last years

if you were about to retire in 2008 on that money, tough luck

[unborn lotus]

The S&P 500 ETF had the highest return. Over the last 30 years, the S&P 500 index has delivered an average yearly return of 11.0%.

[proud jay]

not taking into account inflation of course

after which it drops to like 6%

hence the 6% rule

[unborn lotus]

Statistics from the Brookings Institution, an economic think tank, show that the average middle-income family with two children will spend $310,605 to raise a child born in 2015 (latest information) up to age 17 in 2032

😩

forget it

[proud jay]

you have children?

[proud jay]

that's what I said

[unborn lotus]

yeah but 300k to raise one child sounds a lot

good news they will pay you back once they're 18

just give them an itemized bill

with everything you ever did for them

[errant raven]

Modern kids use the "I didnt ask to be born, I owe you nothing" card

[proud jay]

well it's food, clothes, schooling and a whole bunch of recurring stuff, do that for 18 years and you're broke

not that they stop draining your money when they turn 18

my journey to bankruptcy starts in may

[unborn lotus]

congrats / sympathy

if you've got something to do like traveling, do it now

[proud jay]

I'm good

and already poor, cause I'm building a house

[summer cedar]

The thing is, I think the money mentioned in the table is gross revenue.

You can probably shave 50% off of that after taxes, salaries, expenses, etc. etc.

For the ones above $10,000. The ones below are probably fine. They'll lose about 15-20% of their gross revenue.

[unborn lotus]

Well steam takes 30% (dont know if its taken into account here) but depending on the country taxes may be less

Here, for llc's, it's 26% after 500k, 13% before

[proud jay]

but then you still need to get the money out of the llc

[unborn lotus]

They are

Either 3% or 16% income tax for the llc

10% for what you take out

[proud jay]

Is 500k the ceiling, or are there more slabs after it?

[unborn lotus]

No, thats the ceiling, past that and you move to 16%

[summer cedar]

Cool. I think we have something like 35% + 5%.

There are many slabs below that, but with dollar incomes, you'll easily surpass those plebian levels.

[summer cedar]

No, no. Let's be honest and precise.
He said FIRST that it was $50 million dollars ONLY.

THEN, he found another $50 million dollars of condoms somehow.

Great man; simply too smart for us to understand.

Deleting the intermediate folder reduced the project size to something like 5MB.

But, UE simply recreated all 4.5GB of the Pipinstall folder and everything else in Intermediate, when I loaded the blank project file.

😠

[median wraith]

[fathom wadi]

UE doesn't run on thin air 😄 If you think that's bad. I have a 2gb project with 10gb of .vs folder files. You just learn to live with it 🙂

[summer cedar]

Yep.

The first thing he said was they sent $50 mil of condoms.

Then he amended it to $100 mil, the current figure.

[summer cedar]

I will not learn to live with these colonizer.... er, oppressive powers. 😛

I will find... a way! ✊

Actually, on a VERY positive side, I discovered the 'Reference Viewer', which I had missed when disabling plugins in the blank template before.

[silk cargo]

can someone explain to me the Discord Names
<Capital Letter>...

[summer cedar]

I believe that's because you have Streamer Mode enabled.

It happens automatically when you start a recording software like Streamlabs.

Discord has a button that appears on top of the app - Disable Streamer Mode.

[silk cargo]

oh... yeah that explains it. just recently installed obs

[summer cedar]

Once you do that, the full, corny, and sometimes offensive user names will be fully displayed.

You can also permanently disable it from settings.

Nice of Visual Studio Community to include an Unreal development option in the components list.

[fathom wadi]

Yeah there are a couple of things that without a plugin would be a pain

don't forget to use the Perforce source control comp too. Not sure if it's enabled by default or not. I know Git is though if you prefer that.

[summer cedar]

Okay, that installation error message was unhelpful.

But, I really hope Trump's Project Riviera doesn't go anywhere.

All jokes aside, that's a really dumb idea.

[proud jay]

what's that project?

[summer cedar]

He is short on details as usual, but basically, remove Palestinians to 'another nice place', bomb Gaza to flatten it entirely and get rid of the rubble, and rebuild it as a US territory - or under US supervision - as a resort area.

Riviera is the Italian word for beach resort, resort coastline, etc.

[proud jay]

oh that

yeah

he's crazy

[summer cedar]

You know the comedy part of it?

[proud jay]

I have a kind of renewed appreciation for the good people in his administration during his first term.

They apparently held back a lot of his crazy ideas.

We heard like one crazy idea a week or so back then.

Now, it's a clown show daily.

yeah

he fired everyone that held him back

and still working on that

[summer cedar]

You might have a point.

[summer cedar]

That Trump will do himself next.

But, how to levy a tariff in UE.... with blueprints!?

also, what to tariff? Shader duty charge?!

[mild gust]

If using blueprints charge user 10% extra revenue

[summer cedar]

🤔

[mild gust]

If game is only blueprints then they only get 50% of sales

[summer cedar]

even better, if the game's made with blueprints, customers have to draw a blueprint to play the game first.

Skill gating.

[summer cedar]

Thinking about texturing reminded me that I need to purchase that graphics software suite I was talking to hristew about.

[mild gust]

😮

[summer cedar]

Also, I suspect VS Community was removed by Windows Update, when I upgraded to 24H2.

[mild gust]

Wasn't there a free software to make textures

[summer cedar]

Yes, but the suite contains illustrating, rastering, and some other publishing tools.

[mild gust]

Ah

[summer cedar]

Also, since I use AI for concept prototyping, it's quite beneficial to edit and composite in a nice graphics software.

I was thinking something like - make concept and colour in AI, then make individual textures in the graphics software after unwrapping UV map.

Assuming unwrapping UVs is still a thing. I am an old duffer.

[mild gust]

https://boundingboxsoftware.com/materialize/

I used this before to make a variety of textures

Had Ai or something make the image than this to convert to diffuse etc

[mild gust]

Yes

Programmed in unity

and it's open source

[summer cedar]

All you basically need is one image

and it can be used to make the rest

[summer cedar]

they've got tutorials on the site, too.

very useful

[mild gust]

Saved a lot of time

I don't use photo editors much so this saved a lot of that mucking around.

[summer cedar]

Ah, I got the studio I was talking about.

Affinity Studio

[mild gust]

I gotta get that too

[summer cedar]

The universal license is a one-time purchase, unlike Photoshop.

[mild gust]

I use gimp atm

[summer cedar]

Gimp is nice. I used it for a while, before getting Adobe.

Then Adobe kinda-scammed me.

They kindled my anger! 😠

And I uninstalled their software. I used a regedit to scrape their remains off of my machine.

[mild gust]

Did they get you with the extra cancelation fee

[summer cedar]

Indeed.

[mild gust]

Damn

Yeah I was considering Adobe at one point till I heard of that

Never again.

[summer cedar]

https://krita.org/en/features/ - Have you checked this out?

[summer cedar]

Okay. I am going to try Krita first.

It seems to be a decent alternative to Photoshop and some artists are singing its praises.

Plus, the thing is free. So, why not?

This should be sufficient. 😄

And a bit of overkill.

Okay, restarted the app. It almost insta-loaded.

That's a BIG improvement over Photoshop.

Yay opensource. The software thinks my OS is Win 10. Thankfully, it identifies my GPU correctly.

[zinc matrix]

fuck. Google sites corrupted two images from my site

they are lost

[zinc matrix]

phew. I've found the lost images in a folder in the old laptop.

[mild gust]

Not yet heard of it though

[tulip orbit]

last time I looked at it, it looked more of a painting type program than a photo manip.... is it good?

[fathom wadi]

Krita is great for drawing. I used to get a PS sub for my daughter, who is at art college, but when money was dry I switched her to Krita and she loved it.

[tulip orbit]

I'm not much of a drawer/artist. More of a photo manip, make shapes, apply some of the effects to make it bevelled and whatnot

[celest musk]

the wordart guy

[tulip orbit]

Yeah I dont do much art.... but at some point I'm gonna need some programmer art as standins for Icons and such in my game

[median wraith]

Krita is nice software

just have some missing technical tools

have even tools that photoshop don't have, you can paint normal maps directly

and the mirror feature copied recently in photoshop

Looks like something Elon would invent

Apparently, the Krita community is entirely against photo manipulation in their software, because it's 'beneath real artists', from what I read.

[mild gust]

😮

[summer cedar]

SO, their developers decided to overachieve and created an 'artist''s program that just happens to be GREAT at image manipulation.

🤣

You can do pretty much everything you need for image editing with Krita. 😄

Also, their plugins community is pretty good at supplying whatever special tools one might need.

[mild gust]

Shouts out companys that make people like Adobe irrelevant

[summer cedar]

Yes.

But, it isn't a company apparently.

[mild gust]

Good even better

[summer cedar]

My understanding is, it's something like a Github community.

[mild gust]

Then no one can tell them what to do

[summer cedar]

Except when they run out of money, but yes.

If you like the software, you can buy a license on Steam just to support them or donate directly.

[mild gust]

Ah

I was going to say what do they need $ for but websites cost gp

[summer cedar]

BUT, my understanding is that licensed version is one step behind the free one on their site. 😄

[mild gust]

lol

[summer cedar]

No guns?!

sad noises

[mild gust]

Why use guns when you can be passive aggressive

[summer cedar]

Ok fine.

I hereby claim ownership of this cyberspace.

[errant raven]

Discord people are a bit passive aggressive

[mild gust]

Doesn't surprise me

"Get familiar with our community guidelines and terms of service"

[dense escarp]

Is there anywhere to post or pitch ideas for short films/films in progress?

[summer cedar]

For projects that are ongoing, you can showcase them in #1054845120236757103 under Community Creations.

If you want to recruit people, there're a few jobs channels you can see. Remember to read the rules there before posting.

There's #artist-hangout if you want to discuss techniques or art forms and such.

For ideas, the lounge is as good a place as any, but as far as I know, we don't have a brainstorming channel.

Did you know Santa claus is the patron saint of prostitutes

[mild gust]

He also is an anagram of satan

and santa claus was said to be accompanied by krampus

To torment naughty kids

[errant raven]

Everyone knows about krampus

[mild gust]

Good

They should

[errant raven]

I'm pretty sure Santa spelled backwards is Atans

Which is nothing close to satan, but we cant all be fluent in english

[mild gust]
