I doubt this is a long-term thing, BUT the good news is that people have FINALLY realised they DON'T need to migrate to cities to work online.

It's taken long enough, in a country with nationwide 4G-5G access.

[unborn lotus]

yeah a lot better like this

[median wraith]

Didn't took the car in 30 days

[summer cedar]

Everyone must shift to 3x 4k monitors.

ESSENTIAL hardware.

[median wraith]

LVL80 is now IGN

[cursive crypt]

Peasants should stay on consoles.

I heard the next Xbox is a console/PC hybrid 😹

Steam Machines won after all

[median wraith]

Subscribe for the ram

[proud jay]

I vibe playing on my ps5

[cursive crypt]

With these subs, better be.

[proud jay]

can't you buy like 2 or 3 ps5s for the price of a 5090

[dusky shuttle]

i agree with john carmack back when he made Rage that computer graphics was a solved problem. all these bells and whistles they require modern hardware for don't make sense

[proud jay]

oh I could even get 4 ps5's if I get the digital slim edition

[cursive crypt]

Bridge/SLI them.

[proud jay]

I don't understand how GPU prices have gotten so out of hand

[dusky shuttle]

mining, AI, lack of competition

[proud jay]

but why do people just keep buying them though

[dusky shuttle]

people like modern tech

[proud jay]

I even bought previous gen when building my pc 7 years ago cause I already thought it was too expensive

[dusky shuttle]

same reason they buy the iphone 17 even though nothing changed from the iphone 10

[proud jay]

now prices are more than tripled

[dusky shuttle]

have you seen the price of gold lately?

it never stops to take a break

[proud jay]

that's cause we all know the economy should have collapsed 8 times over in the last years

but only propped up by printing money and fraud and corruption

[median wraith]

That's a constant yes and no video

But yeah the changes from the last cod to that one for X3 requirements don't make the payoff

[median wraith]

Well it don't collapse if the whole system is collapsed 🧠

At least here

No new borns at all given nobody leaves the house before the 30s

And someone pointed in 20y will be more outsiders than people from here

[proud jay]

well if you're not getting kids

the people need to come from somewhere

[median wraith]

Yeah

[proud jay]

where are your kids

[median wraith]

But people that comes get a monthly pay

People that's from here gets a constant crunch

[median wraith]

Idk didn't found that dlc

[proud jay]

you don't have social security?

[median wraith]

On my case not really?

Well is the thing I pay each month

Whatever I don't get income

The fixed 300€

[proud jay]

well cause you're technically not unemployed I guess

like if you were not independent and had no job

you would get something no?

[median wraith]

If I was unemployed I don't think I got right to

They don't give it to people that was self employed

Also fun fact

[proud jay]

nice

[median wraith]

If you own a house of 5 millons

You can get the per month social payment

If you don't own any house but say a car

Then you can't

[proud jay]

here we have some stupid rules that if you have too much money you don't get it anymore

while you would get it if you were poor

which I kinda get

but that also encourages not saving any money

and not buying a house

[median wraith]

They consider the money you have excluding the house

So if you have more than 20k in goods total

(any car this days)

[proud jay]

like my friend was unemployed during covid, but because he was smart and saved money while working, he didn't get anything

[median wraith]

You cannot

[proud jay]

while another friend that spends all the money that he gets his hands on did get it

[median wraith]

Exactly that's the today's issue

The more stupid the less worries

Not surprised it's buggy.

[pearl elk]

why is the water not blocks?

[summer cedar]

Because blocks can't flow.

[pearl elk]

yeah they can

[summer cedar]

So, it's bluid.

[pearl elk]

you ever seen a bar graph

they flow

[summer cedar]

We only think they flow.

[summer cedar]

That's what they want us to think.

[median wraith]

I blame the people using volumetric clouds here

It's a flowspiracy.

Why change your personality at this point?

Strap wheels on to it.

they are about giving me a flying ship

[pearl elk]

[summer cedar]

Yeah, so strap some wheels on to it and make it a bar.

don't you love all that cloud noise

20FPS enterinmg a island

It's probably locked.

Btw, why is your sword rusty?

[median wraith]

nope

[summer cedar]

Can you not make a nice one?

[median wraith]

because goes to 40

[summer cedar]

You have a flying ship.

[median wraith]

ohhhg right

this shit game needs 8GB of VRAM

the pixels must be 1024 each

[summer cedar]

4k rusty sword, my man.

don't complain.

the devs were nice enough to give you 4k textures. They could've given you 128px textures and used less VRAM.

But, they didn't.

That's how much they care for you.

[median wraith]

I'm telling you

are those fucking UE5 volumetric clouds

[pearl elk]

bolumetric

[median wraith]

I like this detail

@pearl elk can you tell whats this?

if that's not using nanite, lumen, and RT, refund the game naow!!!

Give me opinions of what you consider interesting exploring the worlds

@proud jay say you find a nice field is that interesting or is better a cave under a waterfall

[pearl elk]

if you make a waterfall without a cave under it you will disappoint millions

[proud jay]

both can be nice

depending on how it's set up

and what there is to do/find

finally getting to make the most of my new monitor setup, its so good like having 4 x 4:3s

[median wraith]

just exploring

[proud jay]

everyone does a cave behind the waterfall so I would say a field would be more interesting if well executed

[median wraith]

ironically this kind of game is more complex than other ones I had here prototiping

because you have to difference of all the other games and becuase needs a lot of individual managers

that the demo from Epic

as is lol

I was doing the game I have on my web and the last year based on this concept

lets see if you find out why this will fail, same way mine could have failed if keep doing it this way

[summer cedar]

How would I know?

[median wraith]

is a desing issue

can be seen from the single image, but not gonna say whats the actual reason

well, aside from the fact the new game he did have a lot of cameras

and is hard to keep all in memory

[summer cedar]

What do you mean 'fail'? As in compiler error, or just a bad project?

[median wraith]

lol

[summer cedar]

what? 😄

[median wraith]

as bad project

[summer cedar]

No clue. I think the stove and the wall on the right side of the image look a bit weird. Especially that wall. But, 🤷‍♂️ .

--- A 60-year-old green card holder in Chicago, Rueben Antonio Cruz, was recently fined $130 after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents discovered that he was not carrying his identification during a routine check. This incident has sparked a wider conversation about a long-ignored immigration rule now being revived under the Trump administration, which requires noncitizens to always carry proof of their legal status. ---

@proud jay Reminds me of, "Papers please."

--- fines were historically capped at $100, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guidelines now allow penalties as high as $5,000 or imprisonment for up to 30 days. ---

That $5k should contribute nicely to pay for some Trump coins.

[unborn lotus]

Is that infinitesimals? I remeber about it being in production for ages by now

[pearl elk]

I remember one from back in the day which was some sort of crazy alien thing, it was sponsored by Nvidia but I cant remember what it was called

[summer cedar]

I remember playing this game about being a young lioness, a long time ago, when my VRAM was 128MB.

I wish someone would remaster Micropose's Way of the Samurai.

That was one heck of a game.

[proud jay]

ok but how do they prove you're a noncitizen if you're not carrying an id

[summer cedar]

Skin colour and accent.

[proud jay]

maybe you're a citizen which entitles you to not carry your id apparently according to that sentence

[summer cedar]

Yeah, but you're brown, so you go down.

If your accent ain't subliminal, you must be a criminal.

Well, in some good news, the Supreme Court stopped the Orange House from denying dependents work visas in H-1B cases.

[proud jay]

that's okay, they already loosesened bank restrictions to make everyone poor again

no discrimination anymore

very fair

[summer cedar]

Well, they are being fair. The next case is about the Voting Rights Act. They might decide to junk it, to balance everything out against the good ruling.

[proud jay]

yeah is that the one where they remove the stipulation that the gerrymandering can't be racist

[summer cedar]

yep

That's a fine stance, really.

Gerry can't be black.

Yep. First page of google images - all Gerries are white. Except for ONE black dude and he's in the UK. 😄

[median wraith]

That screen isn't from it no, is some random thing I spotted

[summer cedar]

Did you really spot it?

Or did AI make you spot it?

[proud jay]

well the guy was named Elbridge tbh

Gerry was his last name

[summer cedar]

le sigh

Now you tell me.

And google makes me go through a captcha to google him.

[proud jay]

and the mander part comes from salamander

there are definitely black salamanders

[summer cedar]

Elbridge - yeah, no black dudes.

One Chinese guy though. All else are white.

[proud jay]

mr gerry actually became vice president later on

and he allegedly did the gerrymandering against his will for the good of the party

[summer cedar]

Well, all this gerrymandering is clearly remote controlled.

[proud jay]

at least he has a black coat

[summer cedar]

The coat was just contrast for the photo.

He probably burnt it later.

its pretty decent tbh have a lot of things

[white oxide]

tbh never got the appeal of "life simulator" games that try and make you do IRL jobs in game

[median wraith]

there was a indie studio making a bomb disarm game

never finished it

🙁

[white oxide]

lol

tbh that i can see being at least interesting theres stakes, and its something most of yall have never had to do

hah

ok so missconception

"nukes" are actually quite simple to make if you have basic access to the internet, and some tools.

[median wraith]

every fucking game is about build a base

[unborn lotus]

Didnt a 14 year old build something like that?

[white oxide]

"tactical nukes" that are able to wipe out cities, are vastly more common

14 year old built a reactor

slightly more complicated

[median wraith]

When Epic promoted Fortnite I had a game in my head they never delivered

yet this days still not made by anyone

[white oxide]

not really its more refinement and getting enough of the right refined neutron catalysts in place to make a proper "nuke" and not just a high yield dirty bomb

[median wraith]

I mean, is a cool theme, there was a demo in one of the games they released

3 games about build stores

[white oxide]

so, to get enough weapons grade uranium/fissionables for say a 10kt blast (really damn low end of the spectrum, even smaller than the ww2 nukes) you need to essentially take something like 800 pounds of the raw fissionable ores and then centrifuge it at specific speeds and times to get about a fist sized chunk of the refined super dangerous stuff

then you need to build the actual fission mechanism which isnt "complicated" today as it was in the 40's before computer assisted machining

[unborn lotus]

ok you're on a cia list now

[white oxide]

bud ive been on lists for years

you best bet is the "gun method" (shooting the atoms at the chunk of weapons grade fissionable material to make it go boom), enough explosives to actually MAKE IT WORK

[median wraith]

there is a lot of games that are basically based on shooter templates and bullshit and you can tell how bad they are

[white oxide]

then you need the casing to hold all of this with the right neutron reflectors to ensure runaway catalyst.

[median wraith]

what the

[white oxide]

and even then assuming you got everything right, you now have a likely 1800 pound brick of death that will take out a few city blocks if detonated at ground level

I can't wait for the theme of all the ue6 game jams to be "metaverse"

[pearl elk]

this itch.io page for the megajam says it doesnt start for ~44mins so Id say thats when they'll announce

[median wraith]

people love todo some kind of strange FP controllers

[pearl elk]

Epic should call it the Megaverse

[pearl elk]

Amnesia again 😅

[median wraith]

not even amnesia does this

the camera is attached to the skeleton or some crap

[summer cedar]

Let them attach the camera to the main character's plumbing. What does it matter if the gameplay is good?

If the view sucks, okay. But if it works, attach it wherever.

There was a very nice zombie survival 2D game that had an isometric view as its main, and allowed players to switch to FPS view whenever they wanted - mainly when using a gun in its demo.

[unborn lotus]

the one with the AI gen art whenever you got stuff?

[summer cedar]

Sure. Whatever floats your boat.

It was before AI generators were a thing, but sure.

[summer cedar]

It seems about four floors high.

Maybe more.

Would've been one HECK of a fall.

[pearl elk]

woohoo make a game that doesnt use your monitor 😛 space invaders using RGB

[summer cedar]

If you are not using VGA, you're doing it wrong, tbh.

[pearl elk]

when is Geoff Keighley gonna do the SVGAs

[median wraith]

I like this game

[mild gust]

Blueprint Assist looks nice, too.

[pearl elk]

Hyper MP Survival Template, what a bargain

[mild gust]

Does it tell you what nodes do or something

[summer cedar]

From cursory reading, it arranges your nodes as you go.

[pearl elk]

well it says free auto-rigging tool

https://actorcore.reallusion.com/3d-motion/free

[mild gust]

Wut

[summer cedar]

You know about the auto-arranger plugin for BP nodes, right?

It arranges the nodes you select in a group into a nice, properly arranged cluster?

[mild gust]

I just use hotkeys to align my nodes 🤷

[summer cedar]

BP Assist does the same thing as you are placing the nodes.

[pearl elk]

theyre talking about you guys

gotta watch out for those people in lounge 😛

[summer cedar]

[pearl elk]

[pearl elk]

M_Grid Im guessing, mind you I dont think they use that in the templates anymore

[mild gust]

Well when you make a new model object in UE

What material is assigned to it

[pearl elk]

new model object, cant say Ive ever done that before

[mild gust]

You havn't used the modeling tool in ue5?

Comes in handy for making things like laser bullets

Among other things

[pearl elk]

how do you make a new mesh? theres no staticmesh in create new

I always figured it was similar to converting bsp to staticmesh, you edit existing sort of deal

you know they could just call them UE and UF 😛

Isn't kind of depressing see all the games there?

Feels like everything is flowed and created already

[pearl elk]

sometimes its not about what is being created but how it is created

you have a unique skillset you can make a similar game but highlight your strengths, if you do it well you can choose a game which really showcases those strengths in particular

theres very few studios who can make lots of different types of games and do it really well

[white oxide]

i really should show mine

[mild gust]

Do it!

[mild gust]

Where do the arms come from 😮

[pearl elk]

yeah I did 2 sets of gen the first were even worse, asked it for quadruped this time and the arms came up last minute

it also grew a pair of ears

[summer cedar]

Good morning! 🌞 ☕

@errant raven You can be useful for once.
See if you catch an episode of I Saved Myself with a Potion Life in another world and tell me if you think it's been AI animated.

Use ep 2 or ep 3. Ep 3 has more character interactions in the middle.

[errant raven]

I dont think it is

Low budget most likely

Much like the hentai studio Queen Bee.

Those fuckers ruined so many good hentai with bad slideshow animations

And yes I just admitted I watch hentai enough to know a bad studios name

[summer cedar]

I thought it was cheaply endearing.

It reminded me instantly of those card games with stick-style animations. 😄

At least the anime nailed the cute vibe to its characters, but yeah, it's basically a ten second watch. 😅

[errant raven]

It's no different than toei animations

As much as THE ONE PIECE fans dont want to admit

So many single frame shots and flashbacks

[summer cedar]

Hold on, did you watch the anime I mentioned?

Like, actually watch it?

[errant raven]

No I'm busy studying Japanese, I just read reviews

[summer cedar]

Useless.

I thought so.

It's not Toei.

Turns out, it's puppet animation.

Ok, back to 'studying' with you.

Laurence Fishburne is in The Witcher?

No need. Entirely useless. Off with you.

Away!

You had your chance.

[errant raven]

Or I can cram 3 episodes now

Too late.

Never return!

Begone!

[errant raven]

Kaomoji

[summer cedar]

same question.

[errant raven]

<(^-^)/ <-- these things

[summer cedar]

I know. I can see their pics on google images.

Just pick the pic you need, crop it and dump it with your post.

Takes like 10 seconds.

Okay, maybe a minute.

Fine, an hour for you.

[errant raven]

Keyboard should have a section for them on it

[summer cedar]

Just, don't spam it here or you'll get banned. 😛

There's a hotkey to shift keyboards.

So 2 hours back and forth

[summer cedar]

Mumbai's new Aqua Line metro is getting good reviews.

...until the massive population spoils it. 😄

[mild gust]

😂

Till it ends up like your guys train system

People smacking phones out of each others hands as they drive by

[summer cedar]

That's probably the local trains.

The other trains are actually doing okay.

[mild gust]

🤷

[summer cedar]

Not the cleanest, given the crowds, but still....

[mild gust]

I see it every now and then on X

A video of some guy with a stick smacking peoples hands driving by on the train

[summer cedar]

I know. Cheapo foreigners like to use local trains to save money.

God only knows why they travel. 🤷‍♂️

Just walk

Smh

[summer cedar]

Oh, they do.

They walk into residential colonies and film videos of Indians harassing them for being there.

[mild gust]

Huawei gpu also apparently doesn't work properly yet.

[summer cedar]

They claim that they are being troubled in 'tourist areas'.

[mild gust]

Because it needs a specific server motherboard.

[summer cedar]

outside of China, you mean?

[mild gust]

No

You can buy the servers

Just it needs that server to run that gpu

It won't work on anything from the west.

[summer cedar]

Ah.

It might have something to do with the CCP/CPC's latest diktat.

[mild gust]

Well

It was specifically designed for AI it seems so

[summer cedar]

They have commanded companies to NOT order NVidia chips and Western stuff.

So, I am not surprised that the chips might not be compatible with outside hardware.

[mild gust]

Which is likely going to be used for deekseek

I don't blame them

[summer cedar]

Hey! Don't look down on people seeking their d*cks.

[mild gust]

I will

[summer cedar]

Ok.

[mild gust]

They put an 8 pin on that thing

[summer cedar]

I permit you to.

Given where it's located.

[mild gust]

They should use a penis pump

Smh

[summer cedar]

Oh wait.
Are they using that GDMI whatever new connector for graphics they made?

[mild gust]

Doesn't look like it

Seems like the og 8 pins

[summer cedar]

That's not bad, ngl.

I wonder how much they will spend on cleaning and maintenance.

At least, it should generate A LOT of blue collar jobs.

Me likes that space in between, too.

[mild gust]

Look at all the standing room

You guys can really pack in there like sardines now

[summer cedar]

Apparently, they've already had a million travellers.

Yeah, I think that's what the space is for. Sardinism.

[mild gust]

Well look at all the handles

[summer cedar]

The people holding handles will support the ones wedged in-between without.

or you'll have people doing splits and putting their feet in it

Want's more 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 year olds on twitch and tik tok.

[summer cedar]

Oh yeah, that reminds me that M00rica has not banned TikTok yet.

That WAS on big orange's agenda. Guess he changed his mind, or something under the table convinced him otherwise.

[mild gust]

Didn't China sell Tik Tok to Israel?

https://www.newarab.com/news/pro-israel-billionaires-and-uae-royals-meet-tiktoks-new-owners

I guess they are taking control of the algorithm

[summer cedar]

Ah, no. The wikipedia page makes things clearer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok

ByteDance is still the main boss.

But, like Google and Alphabet, they've split into sub-entities.

So, they separated the US operations (along with others), and will sell that to US-based interests.

Overall, the four entities are based in the US, UK, Aus, and Singapore.

[mild gust]

https://thecradle.co/articles/pro-israel-tech-firm-to-take-control-of-us-tiktok-algorithm

The US one

Is controlled by Israel tech firm

[summer cedar]

I don't think the tech firm is Israeli. It's pro-Israel, as in supports the country.

Oracle is US.

at least it was when my cousin was VP.

Lemme check.

yeah, still US.

[mild gust]

Meh pro-israel or israel

[summer cedar]

Not the same, duck. 😛

[mild gust]

You know anyone anti-israel see it all as one zionist.

[summer cedar]

The One Zionist is the true God of the universe. 🤣

[mild gust]

Praise be to the Demiurge.

May he cleanse the earth of the heathens.

Yahweh has fallen

Long live the Demiurge.

[summer cedar]

Demiurge, Lt. to Ainz Ooal Gown-sama?!

[mild gust]

Also note, don't ever tell a Jewish person about the Demiurge being Yahweh at some point.

They don't seem to like that very much.

[summer cedar]

Probably 'cause the popular perception of Demiurge is as a devil/demon thing?

[mild gust]

But in scripture there's texts that suggest just that.

Yahweh became the devil

So he could do things he couldn't do as god.

[summer cedar]

Interesting. Is it available in Manga format?

[mild gust]

Not likely

Would be a good manga though

Okay, this Wordpress menu manager is a bit stupid.

I rearrange the menu and it simply forgets the new arrangement, despite saving.

[mild gust]

Eww wordpress

[summer cedar]

Perhaps.
The Elementor designer is very cool, though.

Especially UiCore's version of it.

Very easy to design and manage your site.

[mild gust]

Too fancy for me

I just wanna write some css and call it a day.

Squarespace makes that easy.

To be fair though I hate web dev

[summer cedar]

I've grown addicted to it, to a certain extent.

[mild gust]

Like

[summer cedar]

I've done so many site redesigns, it boggles my mind.

[mild gust]

When I first started it I didn't mind it

I started out writing my own website

But my javascript bugged one day

and I could never fix it

[summer cedar]

Did you start with Dreamweaver from ages ago, like I did?

[mild gust]

Yes

In school

[summer cedar]

Those were the days.

😅

[mild gust]

My teacher didn't even know html or css

He couldn't teach me

I had to learn it myself

They literally taught us just the template dreamweaver website design style.

Making buttons etc

I should have saved my site

I kept some of my other projects from school but not my website

It kinda sucked though tbh 😂

The best part was when you hovered over my buttons they flickered flames.

[summer cedar]

I remember those days vaguely, but it was monotonously long work.

It was fun, though.

[mild gust]

Did I ever show you my stop motion?

[summer cedar]

Regardless, I prefer Joomla over that any day and now, Elementor.

No. What stop motion?

[mild gust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=revuWtABuMs

Did you get paid for this?

[mild gust]

[summer cedar]

At least in maple meth?

Also made some songs

Basically we had a computers class

Taught various things

One was game dev to

Using some shitty visual scripting language

[mild gust]

What's more crazy is we had to do this over a week.

Other classes occured during the time to and we would come back to our stuff all trashed sometimes.

[summer cedar]

The whole animation in one week?

W00t?!

[mild gust]

So we had to basically try to recreate the scenes

[summer cedar]

Damn, that's some crunch.

Just ordered a fucking case of monster same day delivery

Locked tf in for the jam

[mild gust]

Get drinks with methylcobalamin

You want active b12

[shy veldt]

I refuse ti do coke like most people my age

[mild gust]

Cokes bad to

[shy veldt]

So caffeine it is

[summer cedar]

How about ajinomotbalamin?

[mild gust]

Get energy drinks with methylcobalamin

Trust

Cyanocobalamin has side effects

and isn't active form of b12

Used to get daily migraines when I drank monsters

[shy veldt]

Send me a link ill buy those too

[mild gust]

You in US?

In Canada they use methylcobalamin

He did product demos st the chicaho redtursnt convention at McCormick and we smoked a joint after

[mild gust]

They actually taste good to

[shy veldt]

I'll hit him up about a case

[mild gust]

For zero sugar

[shy veldt]

I tried them

They were decent

[mild gust]

Favourites the welchs grape

[shy veldt]

I tried maybe 8 of them to be exact

It was a long convention

[mild gust]

Noice

[shy veldt]

Was doing acquisitions for another random venture if mine

But ye like that's insnae you recommend it

[mild gust]

They are cheaper than most of the other drinks here to

So I tend to stick to them

[shy veldt]

You are not the first too which is also a good sign

[mild gust]

I used to only drink monsters

Till I started to get weird side effects from daily consumption

I remember I was going to hire someone to fix my jank.

Nope. My old stuff's gone.
