Or... get an ashigaru pike.
You can make it yourself.

It's probably more useful in modern times.
Especially to hang the laundry or something.

you gotta keep yourself in business
油断したらその指チクチクアタック覚悟して 
summer cedar
Apologies. I said pike.
It's a glaive
Anyway, here's the secret recipe to make it yourself.
Step 1: Steal a stick from somewhere, or a pole.
Step 2: Buy a long knife.
Or steal that too.
Step 3: Steal rope and tie knife to pole.
Step 4: Gloat.
summer cedar
Yep. Like I said, more useful in modern times than a katana.
mild gust
Even if I find just a baseball bat and some nails
summer cedar
I read in the Shogun 2 encyclopaedia in-game, that ashigaru were actually female soldiers in medieval Japan.
mild gust
That is still a decent weapon
summer cedar
They used the glaives and pikes for extended reach.
That baseball will be more useful than a katana.
But, a katana will be necessary to speak proper Japanese.

Answer

So, in summary, the ideal costume is:
- Korean Rice Hat
- Kevlar Vest
- Transparent kilt.
- Katar to the belt.
- AR-15 as main weapon.
- Walking stick as a secondary (optional sword cane).
- Straw sandals to finish off.
No other clothes or underwear allowed.

CHATGPT project canvas for game dev progress:
I am having trouble using multiple platforms to track my progress on my game as i keep forgetting to check on other platforms. Since i am constantly using chat gpt for game and other stuff. I made a chatgpt project with canvas to my specific game. I give it a format like name, version, date, etc, bugs and changes. and now i just update it with each day and it follows the format automatically and list them per day, so i can keep track in one document.
The good thing is per project can have different chats related to it, so i have a specific chat called progress chat on that specific game.
Its simple for my case as i just need a logbook not complicated ones and i can congregate in one platform

What do you mean it was inspired by multiple cults at once to make no sense.
Also this "The development team also consulted with cult expert Rick Alan Ross, who advised on the narrative from the beginning of the project to ensure the game's portrayal of cults felt authentic and plausible."

I believe that cultist in the game was an actual RL figure.

Far Cry 5
Think of it as an anime series, but with Mooricans, guns, blood, explosions, and lots of driving around.
Also, lots of crazy people.
timber viper
It had an unsatisfying hit feeling and a boring AI
celest musk
yea, sometimes the AI is dumb af on normal game mode
like just standing there and not reacting anymore
there's a bunch of bugs in the game, but overall i enjoyed the actual gameplay, e.g. the stealth mechanic, the companion thing, etc.

I've never thought of Far Cry as a shooting game. I always see it as 'blow shit up' first and always game.
Your gun is for causing explosions. 😄
celest musk
nah, Just Cause is that

Just Cause is beautiful except EGL version doesnt save the game
and I learned this after 3 hours of gameplay

also FC5 graphics wasn't really outstanding imho
for a game from 2018

Luckily, Ubisoft connected with XBox Game Pass.

It was made by one dev, using a lot of Nvidia tech way-back when, 2020 I think.

That Chinese dev might have actually been the first dev to use rudimentary AI tools to get that done, back in the day.
And he was like, "It's just a fun project."
Ended up being better than a lot of other FPS shooters.
I think Trepang topped it finally, in terms of flow and action.
Dang. I haven't played it on my new PC yet.

sigh. debating writing a bunch of this UI in c++.... I've never done c++ UI before, but I've got some real spaghetti code started here
fleet tangle
Slate is good for logic.
You can use bind widget to let you implement the actual visual bit in umg.
tulip orbit
thing is, one of the spaghetti bits needs to load stuff from a specific directory, cast to a type of data asset, then create a child widget and add to a wrap box
fleet tangle
Easy to do in c++ really.
tulip orbit
how to programmically cast to a different type? Right now I'm using a Switch on Name, then doing the spaghetti. Easy enough for me to copy paste here in BP, but feels messy
zoomed out view of just two entries done,
tulip orbit
yeah, but in the cast, I still have to select the cast type. Cast<PDA_DataAsset>(source). I know theres templates, but I havent figured how to use them, and it seems overkill
tulip orbit
I'm probably overthinking, and should just copy paste and be done with it. But I do think I should switch from "Get Asset" and do some async loading...
hm, not possible via GetAssetsByPath...

Speaking of NVidia, I started using the AV1 codec that they and other companies designed and put out as open source.
I've to say I am impressed by the compression and quality in my videos - 1080p of course.
h264 was giving me 1.5GB for 30-35 mins videos at 5000 bitrate.
AV1 gave me 1GB files for the same, with 6000 bitrate.
