I appreciate it considering the feelings of the noose.
Advising not to leave it behind is good for the noose's self-confidence.
proud jay
who is this guy?
mild gust
He should have played palworld
dusky shuttle
who is this guy?
Probably Andrew Klavan
proud jay
Andrew Klavan (/หkleษชvษn/; born July 13, 1954) is an American novelist and conservative political commentator.
oh
yeah he probably hates fun so
summer cedar
Gotta blame everything else for one's own problems.
Anyway, turns out I am using descriptive language to describe stuff I've never described before. Turns out I didn't even know I COULD describe things this way.
Fun. Let's hope my editor, CoPilot likes the sentences.

Answer is yes

@mild gust Did you make an account on Cosmos to download the additional free assets that come with the 3rd free item on Fab?
summer cedar
I didn't make an account. So if you do, send me the dl links.
mild gust
That's illegal
summer cedar
Nah. The assets are free.
They just want you to make an account.
Some kind of promo for their site, I think.

I got this month's free stuff.

too bad there isn't something I'm looking for
There are asset packs using nanite

me converting all nanite to non nanite
summer cedar
For me at least, the problem will always come down to ensuring that the assets blend with my project well.
Everything has to fit a design style and ultimately, form a good level/product.
So, I am hesitant to just start dropping stuff in a level, unless it's purely previsualisation.

alot of these animations are particularly modern in context
summer cedar
So, you want animations of people jumping across and around buildings in a non-parkoury way?'
Or just wanking on top of a building wishing they could jump across it?

If I wanted to make a small game I definitely wouldnt be using Unreal Engine

how many of those do you think you'll have in your game?
none
packaged my game and the game is actually the same size of the binaries

It is more about a vibe direction these days.
pearl elk
are they still artists or are they vibers?
pearl elk
it better be mobile developers
because if youre gonna cheat atleast make it profitable
I wonder how many of those actually used a PC
summer cedar
No. It's a community of authors who self-publish, traditionally publish, experiment with AI art, etc. etc.
There are some UE devs there too, with actual games. ๐

Did you pay the Unreal tax in Spain? It's 500 Tim coins plus VAT and trash can fee.
median wraith
I don't pay Tax because I'm in the ROI
Aka the European companies register
we don't pay VAT on our purchases as is self canceled
summer cedar
That only applies to Euros and other recognised currencies.
Tim coins are a cut above.
They are exalted taxables. So you don't get exemptions.

No, I mean Tim coins, the exalted currency used by all Unreal devs to prevent corruption by demonic real forces.

Wait a moment
Who is selling plugins on those?
Sadly at least on my case I had to check version by version my plugin because there are ones with changes etc
So yeah many plugins and assets uses content released on 5.5 that didn't come with the Engine before
I wish all the art packs could work fine reverting versions
There is a tool for that somewhere
The FBX and non compressed files should be included tbh
As unity ones indirectly does

Another person released the same thing on FAB for 20โฌ
Using tags per mesh ID plug into the AO input of the material
Then a PP material to filter it
Everyone is a master after see the solution
Let me check that tomorrow

They released a plugin for free but in the other market cost 100โฌ
It's funny to see 3 or 4 doing the same like on the same day release XD

You ejected the bullet by hand didn't you? I see what you were trying to do, but testing a technique you've only heard about in the middle of battle wasn't very smart. You were asking to have your gun jam on you. Besides, I don't think you're cut out for an automatic in the first place. You tend to twist your elbow to absorb the recoil, that's more of a revolver technique. But that was some fancy shooting... you're pretty good.

It's actually not based on anything. There might have been similar things out there when I started on MeshBlend in April 2024, but the idea and prototype came without any inspiration. I tried doing some wonky stuff with GeometryScript first...
A lot of stuff looks the same in a video.

Interesting! I'm not pro enough myself to argue against. ๐

it is theoretically more efficient to water while the sun is not out as the water evaporates slower
but it won't burn them
obsidian shore
We have a dripper hose (not sure what it's called in english). That one makes sense to use in evening/morning, since otherwise most will just evaporate
But the plan is to hook it onto a timer. So no 6am alarms for that

they put cheaper drives into external cases, since it's easy to blame it on the user ๐
which would also epxlain why the external ones are sometimes cheaper on amazon, especially during black friday weeks
also it may be easier to do fraud with external ones, since it's good enough if the case matches

that's no best idea
median wraith
yea was about to suggest a 4TB one, non helium filled CMR drive
any nass recommendation ?
how you find non helium ones ?
celest musk
you gotta look that up yourself, but most 4TB drives are non-helium
and i don't have experience with NAS, i would also use a old computer or something like a SoC board with sata and freenas
median wraith
even the NAS come now with AI
celest musk
old computer is just cheap, and you can power it down if you don't need it, and use WoL to wake it up when necessary (given you have ethernet, not wifi)
median wraith
yeah but harder todo the mirror copies etc
NAS auto manages all the copies across the disks
celest musk
doesn't every stupid board now support some kind of software raid1 in their drivers? (not that i would recommend vendor lockin through something like that, but my guess is that there's a simple solution for it)
or install FreeNAS, i think that's pretty foolproof even if linux based
median wraith

and mount them horizontal ๐
i feel like hard drives don't like vertical mounting that much

that was my only bad experience with hard drives in >20 years

Will tell you the setup but I think all my SSDs are climbing
And the HDD is inside the box at the bottom
But unsure if is sided
Theorically if is totally vertical aligned like a car brake

I always forget they have a restaurant styled building
white oxide
yeah
mild gust
I don't get the drama behind the logo change
But then again people love nostalgia so.
It's great I love it
unreal ether
I don't get the drama behind the logo change
I guess it's less drama and more people fed up of restaurants and other companies getting rid of history and going for super minimalist hospital looks
Taco bell was a big one when they just leaned into the modernism instead of the funky purple stuff
Pizza hut getting rid of the hut was another
unreal ether
And then outside of that, you had brands like land o lakes removing the native american art in favour of something more minimalistic, and now cracker barrel going for this theme that looks straight out of an office building
I definitely think it's just frustration at brands removing identity to just look as plain and simple and neutral as possible
mild gust
I get that
errant raven
Mobile game ads are even worse now
errant raven
They auto open the app store now, which auto closes the game and has to be relaunched

And why is it always 7 day restrictions with them? 7 days is so fucking long for no reason

The only part of that disney movie I never forget is the damn koala falling out a tree and slamming its nuts on a fence
And the stuffed animal version of him
I'm so cuddly I like you
summer cedar
It's amazing how before any major business moves, you get so nervous.
It's not like it's the first time you are doing something, but that nervousness still creeps back in.
The burden of the crown indeed.

now have OF
your plugin for highlight
summer cedar
Just ctrl + alt + del them.
Heh. That happens, but they are like important weeds - they regrow over time.
My next, new student has confidently informed me that they can speak like a native speaker, while making a grammar mistake in their special remarks section.
๐
This will be a fun session; hopefully not a terrible one.
So long as they aren't a whiny prick.
median wraith
you don't need that much memory is an overkill they said
each time I do change textures params
surreal marten
they still look like leaves
summer cedar
Well, my suspicions were right. The stereotype holds. The student was lazy, disinterested, arrived late, and it was like pulling teeth to get her to say stuff. ๐
I bet I'll get some kind of negative review to boot.
median wraith
wait what
summer cedar
wait what
from my previous post above. #lounge message

Are these 4k textures?
, nope, zoom, let's see if you know the exact size
summer cedar
, nope, zoom, let's see if you know the exact size
I don't.
If I knew, why would I ask? ๐
The second picture doesn't look like 4k. It's too pixelated, if that word applies.
cursive crypt
My point, ultrahd pixels
median wraith
that's a good or bad thing
median wraith
The second picture doesn't look like 4k. It's too pixelated, if that word applie...
256
summer cedar
If it's 256, why does UE take up that much memory?
Has it loaded a hundred instances of it in memory?
median wraith
Bulked all the textures to be exact size
then you need editing etc
actually my problem this days is to find actual low res ones, and back 12y ago was the reverse
usually downscale with my tool and that's it
the overall good thing is the game not gona take 800gb
neither 8GB of Vram
what surprises me this days
is how terrible are AI upscalers
This reminds me of when you look a game on phone and looks way better than what it is
summer cedar
Well, that's all the seller cares about.
You like what you see and pay for it.
Lol, upscaled Todd.
median wraith
the worst use cases are when I wanted to scale earth images
