tbh at least the trash is centralized

#

here we don't pay a fixed fee, you just have to buy the official trash bags for them to pick up

median wraith
proud jay
#

no I mean the trash is physically centralized if they throw it around the bins

median wraith
#

that's an individual payment

#

also you pay the city or town where you live once per year for the house and the car

proud jay
#

even if you wouldn't use it?

proud jay
median wraith
#

you pay basically the dudes that come with the truck

#

and tbh my street or not even close ones have all container types lol

#

and weather they say

#

hope you are in the north as me and not in the bottom toasting

#

about Madrid ?

#

that's hot this last years too

#

but isn't as bad as Zaragoza lol

#

it surprised me the micro climate thing in Malaga tbh

#

Damm, 4 in row today

Don't say Jesus. It could be Him that's doing it.

summer cedar
#

We must rally and seal the breach.

#

Conscript the jobless indie devs.

#

Hand each one a bayonet and a biscuit.

#

Unto the breach!

#

Time to try my hand at Material Parameter Collection.

median wraith
#

oh that's almost as old as me

#

finally some feature I know

#

oh the plugin comes with a material node to have random textures per instance with 1 draw call them all @summer cedar

summer cedar
#

1 draw only? That's cool!

#

OMG!

#

Epic, you sweet, wonderful, thoughtful bff you!!! ๐Ÿ˜

#

I don't need to use Material Parameter Collection at all!

#

Keyframable opacity ftw! ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Sorry, Hev. Deleting M.Param Collector. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

lumen and bloom interaction, I bet.

#

Keeps the kids happy.

#

Go with it.

median wraith
summer cedar
#

Indweed! I was pleasantly surprised.

median wraith
#

bet that's an issue with Lumen

summer cedar
#

Of course, it was dumb of me to find a tutorial on doing opacity via material param collector, when I could have JUST checked this in material settings.

median wraith
#

there is a problem with Lumen or the last time I checked with it

#

I don't recommend you DX11 there

#

that's the calculation of reflections

#

change roughness

#

and specular

#

usually is better to make a master material to be reused with instances

#

and tbh that's one of the killing point of FAB people selling individual 3$ 3D models

#

rather than a whole pack with a single material

#

then my clients will come with that...

#

yeah

#

I mean youn create a material normally

#

right click over the material and click on create material instance

#

you can expose inputs and you have the same material structure across

#

and you use that normally as any other material

#

right click on that texture node and convert to texture input or texture parameter or whatever is called

summer cedar
#

@trail ore I have discovered something evil about Tim.

#

If you try to add a keyframe to a material property by opening the material from Content Drawer, the animate keyframe button doesn't appear. If you open the same material via Motion Designer's outliner's asset property window - Design with Material Designer - the SAME material's add keyframe option appears.

#

Tim must pay in keyframes for this eeebil.

#

@mild gust I blame you, 'cuz reasons.

#

Check it out!

#

Fun with animatable extrude. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

I broke it! ๐Ÿ˜›

summer cedar
# mild gust Wot

For me not discovering that I could animate the bloody opacity from the bloody material designer directly, without learning complex BP-related material param collection stuff.

mild gust
#

Figure it out

summer cedar
#

I already did. That's why I blame you.

#

It's proper.

median wraith
#

the spline mesh component I think it was costly but unsure now

#

To be fair, it's slightly hinged. Perhaps even mostly hinged. The hinge is still on -- for now.

The global opacity mod values are a bit broken.

#

Camera bounding boxes work differently from what I remember all those years ago.

#

It's eeebil Tim.

#

These are features.

#

Become strong in the Farce!

#

It used to be - at least from what I remember - that objects within the camera's bounding boxes would render on any screen and stuff outside the bounding boxes would be clipped.

#

Now, I tried resizing the window from 3.5k to all other smaller resolutions, and in that position, the logo doesn't get clipped.

#

Okay, turns out the actual clipping boundary is a many pixels BELOW that green bar.

Great. Well done, Tim. ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ

Epic used our service themselves

they paid me low and sold it for millions

I mean the graphics wasn't bad

as everything could have always more details and that, but you adjust the time and income and team size so

celest musk

tbh it's really a little bit uncanny

median wraith
#

@proud jay @lavish tendon talking about works and that, ever you guys noticed the dude from Spain that printed huge flags of the republican spanish flag in The Division?

celest musk

it would either need more detail or some style which isn't trying to achieve realism

# proud jay wait, one hug per day is really not a lot lol

I had one that didn't have good couples before and I was new, she was kinda cold tbh, so tried but that didn't last long for many reasons and the other was like far away so, Im not the best for this topics, but yeah I did hug each day I can.
But in part was a joke as the people says repetitive things get normal and don't add more with the time, but I don't feel like that's one

proud jay

but I would guess it's spread out with peaks on the low and high side

His title is very misleading I thought he was implying oblivion remastered was on 5.6

#

also he basically says hardware lumen performance gains don't matter

#

it would be cool if he acknowledged stuff like the fast geometry streaming plugin as well

cursive heart
#

so that it will appear to people that he was right all along

white oxide
#

they are remaking fallout 3?

#

before ES6?

warm bloom
#

most likely another studio is gonna remaster it

#

just like oblivion

white oxide
#

Todd clearly doesnt want to make anything new

#

gonna be the disney of games

#

tbh I hope theres an option to make things a tiny bit less greengrey

#

that was like 90% of the color in fo3 back when i first was playing

#

as much shit as FO4 gets for lackluster story, it is at least pretty

#

and i love the gun system way better

warm bloom
#

people hated on fallout 76 too much

#

then once human got popular

#

imo fallout 76 is a better once human

white oxide
#

tbh id rather 76 have been co-op vs MMO

#

like fallout 4 combat, but with a new story and you can do it with 2-8 friends? hell yeah

#

tbh wasnt like the majority of Fo76 just reused Fo4 assets?

warm bloom
#

probably I don't really see why games need to make entirely new assets tbh

white oxide
#

no i get that but wasnt it like 6 years difference?

mild gust
warm bloom
white oxide
#

youd think they could add some cool new bits to the fallout shelters

warm bloom
#

also usually it's textures and not meshes

white oxide
#

also i love how bethesda bugs are so much a part of their games that when that westworld based clone of fallout shelter got released, bethesda sued because they had the exact same bugs FS had

#

"we know you ripped off our shit cause you couldnt even bug fix the code"

#

but yeah

#

I want a fallout game you can play solo or with friends

#

there seems to be a lack of mostly passive open world co-op games with guns, and basebuilding

#

like rust is the closest you get but at a certain point the NPC's are kinda worthless

#

at least in fallout even the best guns can fail you if enough decently powerful things swamp you

#

like nukicide mutants

cursive heart
#

you mean borderlands 4

#

thats prob closest thing you will get

#

i think?

white oxide
#

which isnt out yet

#

but honestly i like the size and depth of worldbuilding in fallout

#

like 4 no matter how many times i restart i always find new stuff

#

like even early on

warm bloom
#

idk Bethesda has gotten kinda stale

#

they haven't done anything new

white oxide
#

and the fact that pretty much everything south of the castle and east of that scientist cave never really gets explored by me

#

yeah

#

like starfield, i kinda got letdown by the shitty story

warm bloom
#

talking about a game that has fallout 4 assets

#

starfield

white oxide
#

tbh starfield is worse

#

fallout 4/76 at least runs on my HDD's

#

starfield cant do cutscenes without stuttering on my HDD

warm bloom
#

tbf it has better graphics better physics and is a complete different graphics backend

#

but the story is lacking

white oxide
#

story barely exists

warm bloom
#

and it's just the same old boring Bethesda missions

#

where you go to point A to point B to point A to point B

#

and talk to NPCs

white oxide
#

yeah + weird puzzles you need to google because bethesda didnt really give you any clues

#

also that horrible time warp mission

#

god i hated that thing

#

the objective pointer mode was nice when i got stuck

warm bloom
#

Bethesda has always had good handbuilt worlds imo

white oxide
#

but that mission kinda broke it because it pointed to final not the next vortex

#

oh very much so

warm bloom
#

like things feel like they get a bit of human touch everywhere

white oxide
#

their worlds are crawling with effort, and passion but the stories in general feel simple and they get locked in the same 3 mission types

warm bloom
#

yeah what's sad though is other games trying to copy the Bethesda formula and doing worse

white oxide
#

also BSG kinda permanently killed the whole "were in a cycle" trope for me

warm bloom
#

cause I feel like the Bethesda bar isn't that high

#

nowadays

white oxide
#

sadly yes

#

and the few devs i get ahold of in my projects dont want to do cool missions

#

they want basically a series of fetch quests cause its easy to make

#

like those have their place

#

but some missions should be hard without being basically a puzzle game

#

also little variation in the "builds"

#

like when you have an RPG and your end solutions are pretty much

#

<branch name> tank

#

like glass cannon builds and ranged super archer builds dont work

#

or for space games

#

everspace has ?9 ships?

#

theres really no difference between them aside from their special ability

#

and thats really playstyle choice

#

the game those devs came from, (GOF2) had like 90 ships and each subclass of ship was radically different

#

I just miss games that took so much longer to play the first time than the second because they told you just enough to make a little bit of money and where to find some good gear then said "your on your own"

warm bloom
#

I wish Bethesda games had more boss fights

#

tbh

white oxide
#

yeah

warm bloom
#

like borderlands style

white oxide
#

and actually bosses not just a jacked up "legendary" version

#

Im a big space game guy and im just disapointed at most modern space games that come out

warm bloom

space engineers 2 is doing pretty well so far

white oxide
#

they feel like they hit MVP and kinda vegitate there with only bug fixes and limited content improvements

warm bloom
#

they're keeping on pace with their vertical slices

white oxide
#

its the exception

#

yeah but SE2 is kinda the wildcard and their whole sandbox element makes it more freeflowing

#

im talking like homeworld 3 and sins 2

warm bloom
#

the only other space game I actually find cool til this day which started off mid af is no man's sky

white oxide
#

tbh NMS was shit because publisher bullshit

warm bloom
#

but it's very much stylized

white oxide
#

then sean pretty much made it a lifes mission to singlehandedly finish everything they said they would do

#

like I was SO excited for sins 2

#

i grew up with sins and the sins standalone updates being like the only game(s) I had

warm bloom
#

never played it

white oxide
#

and then 2 came out, and at first it felt great

#

then they just kinda didnt add much

warm bloom
#

if nms had ship building like space engineers

#

it would be my favorite game of all time

#

without a doubt

white oxide
#

also they turned a cool unique art style into "grungy ship game 359856"

#

initial imagry:

#

retexture:

#

theres also the fact they clearly ran out of time on their initial deals and then ran out of money

#

they hit "1.0" without being feature complete about a year after they did their initial release

#

then they launched on steam, with a totally unbalanced major update that added a new faction

#

with zero apparent QA

#

also the fact they denied using Ai to make their images wholesale and claimed "we fed it our art and then edited what was output to better fit our ideals

#

this was released, straight up in the steam public release:

#

they are not aliens

#

nore are they standford pines

#

Damn have to resubmit to steam because of a dumb capsule mistake

yeah i hated that part

if you have a charger at home it's not really an issue

#

or at work

#

if you wanna do roadtrips sure it's a problem

but 450km is not that high for an EV like it would be a big flex though

I think mine has an advertised range of 500 ish

@median wraith do you eat churros on the daily?

median wraith

I eat churros like 10 times per year +-

ironically when nobody purchased it

beware of low cost ones that cut 10cents but give you 2 liters more in the counter lol

here legally you ask for the tester so they have to measure 5 or 10l

#

well you had an electric so

median wraith
#

as said fuel ones as mine too

#

but obviously isn't the same a 25% less of 1000 and a 25% less of 500

#

I can use eco and get another 100km but the mechanic told me that will break other parts

proud jay
#

that's the same with gas cars though lol

so that's not really an argument against EVs
