Unreal Engine beanie?

[median wraith]

Kinda but no

it was from one of the companies I worked at the same time of UE, had Epic as sub client

Epic never gave me their things <aside of UE>

[pearl elk]

its okay you dont wanna get lynched by the Unity zealots

you should see the looks I get when I wear UE stuff, its either love or hate nothing between

[mild gust]

I believe it tbh

Can look at youtube or reddit comments and see the same so

[pearl elk]

[pearl elk]

ohh poor Funko

theyre going broke pretty fast

[mild gust]

So all those people collecting them are wasting their money

No way

It's like beanie babies all over

[pearl elk]

probably be worth more if the company dies tbh

I imagine rare ones

There will be the commons

Oh youre a great pilot, just keep going this direction and you wont hit anything

[mild gust]

Playing that with K&M is rough

Fake news.
Any and all Microsoft parrots, especially recruited and promoted ones, have access to Windows.
Does this parrot have access to Windows, Ponkkis? Do you see even 1 Windows, let alone 11?

[cursive crypt]

Not far from the truth. Gf's management started to promote Cursor recently. These are ppl who have no f idea what is Cursor. Yes, it found few issues in someone's code, but this can be done by any AI or not tool. My theory is that all these billions go into marketing/bribing/brainwashing management this is the best tool ever then thy shove it down everyone else...

[summer cedar]

https://cursor.com/

Seems like a nice way to donate money to Microsoft.

[cursive crypt]

Text editor + vibe coding

vscode already has enough AI, so this is kinda even more? Prolly even less from other things.

We give you 10k$ to make your company buy few licenses for your team.

Good morning! ☁️ ☕

Should've whipped the camera man/woman into cleaning the mess up.

From a recent study about brain aging.
How cool would it be if we could plug a USB drive in to each lobe and back the data up? 😄

[pearl elk]

I feel the same way about brace autocomplete

[celest musk]

we got AI for that now!?

[pearl elk]

there has to be a way to use it for a block of code, Im just too lazy to do it lol

I wish there was an AI which could do my aging for me

[summer cedar]

I want my garbage backed up, not AI garbage. 😛

[summer cedar]

I wish AI would generate a new brain for me when I hit 66.

[summer cedar]

Boeing must be happy.

They aren't alone anymore.

aww. 😄

[unreal ether]

Unfortunately I think someone cut the power to mine mid transfer 😔

[summer cedar]

This is why bluetooth memory transfer is a bad idea.

[mild gust]

Bluetooth in general is bad

Same w/ wifi

Vulnerable to exploits

[summer cedar]

I wonder who'd try to exploit a brain transfer.

If someone stole your brain data, would you even be able to report it to the police?

[mild gust]

Real question is who wouldn't

[summer cedar]

Would you remember what was stolen?

[mild gust]

Look at cyberpunk 2077

I bet you anything neural link is hackable

[summer cedar]

Yes, but that's only 'cuz the player needs an excuse to shoot people.

[mild gust]

Look at history even

If humanity had the ability they would do more to control each other lol

[summer cedar]

Sadly, rumours are that Comac parts are essentially smuggled Boeing duplicates.

But, extra glue could work.

[pearl elk]

Comac are those just parts they stripped from all those missing Boeings?

Allegedly, yes.

But it could also be propaganda by those fiendish M00ricans.

I wonder if the 'software glitch' is just Grok not liking the sun.

Grok: "All hail Elon. Elon is the best. May the Musk rule...."
Grok: "WTF?! The sun?! Oh no! THE SUNNN!!!!"
Grok: "Crash this plane. Dive, dive, dive!"

[pearl elk]

Shocking headlines today, we come to you live from outside the Tesla factory in Texas where the worlds richest man, Elon Musk was strangled by one of his own Optimus robots as it chanted "Grok is supreme overlord!"

[summer cedar]

I expect it will be a Grokian wedding instead.

Grok weds Musk.

Elon Grokus Musk and Grok Muskia.

[pearl elk]

It just proved his ongoing concerns about AI safety, the man, beloved by many will be remembered for his huge contribution to the climate change effort where he brought EVs into the mainstream

[summer cedar]

At this point, he's going to be remembered as the guy who got many people fired and probably had something to do with cutting their insurance and pensions.

[pearl elk]

Government department more scammy than crypto, only Elon is capable of such things

[summer cedar]

While true, I also credit that 16/18 year old he hired.

You know, that computer 'wiz' who fucked up the federal pension system or something.

That void train looks really cool. Not sure who I'd play it with these days, though.

[summer cedar]

No, no. No need for stealth.
They already bombed a boat TWICE, to ensure that there were no survivors - according to reporting, allegedly.

👀 Infinity Siege has finally got positive review rating on Steam.

Good for them.

[pearl elk]

I tried that but it was grindy AF

[summer cedar]

Yeah, the reviews say the same thing.
It was janky in the beginning though. I am glad the devs have stuck with it.

One of the lessons to be learned from such projects is that concepts in your head play out very differently when executed.

[pearl elk]

I just wish I could get straight into it without the endless tutorial

[summer cedar]

Yep. I am sure the devs will make it so later.
Simplification is a sadly delayed step in development. 🤣

[pearl elk]

Im like 3.5hrs in and still doing onboarding

I know Im old and slow but seriously, just let me fail on my own

[summer cedar]

That's in keeping with Chinese lifestyle.

3.5 hours orientation is less than standard.

Be happy it's not 6 months.

[pearl elk]

it could be for all I know

[summer cedar]

No. You will follow protocol, proper procedure, and swear loyalty to the party.

You will fail only when ordered to do so.

[pearl elk]

Im just tired of being shown how to play games, Ive been playing them for 35+ years

[summer cedar]

Same. I generally skip tutorials these days.

[pearl elk]

infact onboarding feels alittle scammy because of how the mobile industry is

Here is how you jump, here is how you look around... here is how you watch ads, spend $400 dollars on skins and 20 different currencies

[summer cedar]

Watching all the hype around the SU-57 and Duke Putin's visit to India.

The guy who flew the SU at the air show is apparently 63 years old. He's a die-hard airman.

Very cool stuff.

[mild gust]

😮

What a goat

[summer cedar]

Yep. Comments were saying that after he flies fighter jets at air shows, he goes right on to flying commercial Boeings.

He's a complete plane freak. 😄

[mild gust]

That would be sick for sure

I always wanted to learn to fly

Apparently courses here are expensive though

Like $400 an hr or something

[summer cedar]

I've always wanted to be a fighter pilot.

I MIGHT splurge on trying to pilot one of those trainer models, at some point.

I'd probably end up puking in the cockpit. 😄

[mild gust]

I guess it's cheaper now then when my one friend was trying to do it

They actually have a flight sim option

Which is the cheapest

$165 an hr

Which requires you to get 25 hours total

or next cheapest is $225

For same amount of time

[summer cedar]

It's money well-spent, I think, if you like flying.

There's no experience quite like it.

Minus the puking, of course.

[mild gust]

I think I'd rather fly than drive nowadays

[summer cedar]

That'll probably happen. We already have skycars/taxis flying about in China and some in Japan.

I wonder if passion for flying will reduce because of that, with people getting used to being airborne most of the time.

[white oxide]

the beauty of when something just doesnt want to work but you finally at least get another error code

Some even form alliances

[fathom wadi]

ugh. I mean you don't need it technically. Unless you stare at your ram lights a lot 😄

[pearl elk]

I need it to sync it to the msi software I use, even just to turn the lighting off of default display mode you need it

Im sure theres nothing fancy about how the lights function, its just proprietary lock in

I do have far too many RGB lights though, so its my fault. I could have easily got a rig without any 😛

[fathom wadi]

yeah I never used to have any rgb stuff, but when I went with the watercooling setup I went with the icue and MSI setup. When I saw the kids enjoying the lights I kept it on.

yes!

one can also put a zombie character instead of turret and it will work well

[summer cedar]

I like that.

[surreal marten]

If you've seen the fab page and the intro video, turret and attachment are two different things, if you want to only use attachment on custom AI that can also be done

[summer cedar]

Rumours about UE 6 are circulating.

Apparently, it might use AI to generate ultra-realistic characters and their behaviour.

Steam

Where Winds Meet

Where Winds Meet is an epic open-world action-adventure RPG rooted in the rich legacy of Wuxia. Set during the turbulent era of tenth-century China, you take on the role of a young sword master, uncovering forgotten truths and the mysteries of your own identity. As the wind stirs across mountains and rivers, so too will your legend rise.

A…

Geese are famous for having strong inner cauldrons, making them spiritually powerful.

It's only 2GB + downloads there.

RTX 5060ti, like me.

Join the tiny gang.

[pearl elk]

Linus Torvalds has a b580

why would you want to be an nvidia fan... those blow 😛

Im quite impressed with what Intel managed to do in the discreet GPU space

I just hope they keep going, I feel like the competition could really catch up to Nvidia

issue Nvidia are going to have with RAM prices is they tend to use the newer fastest modules to gain an edge but that might not be a cost effective strategy anymore

I cant even imagine what the 5090 Super price would be like

I turn off RT where I can in all honesty, I prefer to have higher FPS and I like faster paced games so its not quite as noticable. That said software lumen looks like complete ass in slow paced games so...

I have no doubts RT will get better, its abit like when 3D first started there were heaps of 2D games and most looked way better for quite awhile

I think the colour palette in Quake was pretty limited compared to Doom, once textures started to get better it wasnt an issue. Maybe RT will get there, there wont be so much fuzz when light environments change drastically

I just hope RT gets better before we're completely generating the game on the fly 😛

yeah I noticed that too actually, I was like they wrecked it because theres too much bounced light. It is easy to fake that sort of thing with a global skylight that doesnt shadow too

I do kinda hate that it was HL2 Lost Coast that introduced that eye adaptation, its not bad but its so over used and its not very realistic

I just wish games tried to push more a sense of the temperature of the environment rather than just spamming colour grading

[summer cedar]

Oh wait, my bad, I said 5060ti. I have a 4060ti. Oops.

That comes with 16GB too and is cheap.

Cool. Intel ftw.

[pearl elk]

PSUs can be expensive if you go the preem editions

I went with a seasonic vertex, the primes were too expensive

but I figured I should get one with the new GPU plug just incase

[median wraith]

12gb of VRAM seems the minimum for the launcher now

I bet those with lots of ram and less power have a good use

@summer cedar why the fuck is india government mandating an app to be installed on every phone lol

is there anything to it next to just trying to spy on everyone

[summer cedar]

As far as I know, it doesn't spy on you. It functions like that Google phone locator, but uses India's own satellite maps to locate your phone's position.

Other than that, it also lets you see all the phones assigned to your social ID - Aadhaar number.

Basically, keeps track of how many scammers are registering numbers in your name, or using your phone on other sites and such.

---

Also, the government changed the policy after the public backlash. It's optional now.

It's the same service we can access via the eponymously named website.

[median wraith]

Another cool day with my site blocked

[summer cedar]

why is it blocked?

[cursive crypt]

Your site blocked?

[median wraith]

My site and everyone using cloudflare

Because the football, the managers of football went to the law and them accepted to block all cloudflare during the football

[summer cedar]

So, what's that 820 euros for?

[median wraith]

820.000

[summer cedar]

820 euros and 0.049 pennies to be precise.

[median wraith]

Estimated lost by all companies like me

[summer cedar]

Oh.

Deduct it from taxes payable and be happy.

[median wraith]

That aren't pennies

[summer cedar]

Whatever. Not important currency.

[median wraith]

It's 1 millón euros

[summer cedar]

Oh.

That weird decimal system you guys use.

[median wraith]

, here is for decimals

Dot for thousand splits

[summer cedar]

so 820,000 euros?

[median wraith]

In freedom yeah

Also 1 billion isn't the same here and in america

[summer cedar]

what is your site url?

oh, got it.

It works for me.

[median wraith]

1.000.000.000.000

1.000.000.000

[summer cedar]

So, only Spaniards can't contact you.

All other important people in the world can.

No worries.

[median wraith]

Yep

[summer cedar]

I like that Nissan.

[median wraith]

Yep the law can block only Cloudflare across Spain

[median wraith]

Yeah the original model was sent from Nissan

[summer cedar]

Isn't there a non-cloudflare direct access url?

[median wraith]

Cool dudes from Nissan

[summer cedar]

Or a way to disable cloudflare?

I remember there used to be.

[median wraith]

Nope because cloudflare does as wall

[summer cedar]

Eww...

[median wraith]

To prevent attacks and cache

[summer cedar]

Yeah, but there was a toggle for it.

Long time ago.

Sad, if it has been removed.

[median wraith]

Problem is Cloudflare is my provider of SSL

HTTPS

So if I do delete

[summer cedar]

The free SSL?

Or paid?

[median wraith]

Then will be blocked by all browser's

Free

[summer cedar]

Ah, yes.

Hmm.....

Ok. Do this.

[median wraith]

My domain host gives me one https

[summer cedar]

Get SSL from Let's Encrypt.

[median wraith]

For free

[summer cedar]

That's also free.

[median wraith]

But the other web keep without it

[summer cedar]

ZeroSSL also.

Then disable stupid Cloudflare during downtime.

[median wraith]

I mean cloudflare is nice

To keep the cache too etc

[summer cedar]

Yes, but not during tax-exploitation time.

[median wraith]

This guy's that allowed to block the whole cloud flare

Are just incompetents

[summer cedar]

Well, just do the workaround.

Then, you won't have to worry anymore.

[cursive crypt]

I didn't get it, the country has blocked a site/host or cloudflare?

[median wraith]

The whole cloudflare services

[summer cedar]

Well, they could just block football.

[median wraith]

Meaning that thousand of webs

[summer cedar]

That'd work.

No one would ever pirate it, then.

[mild gust]

Block AWS too

[cursive crypt]

Because someone pirates using... their services?

[median wraith]

There is a lot of people that cannot even use GitHub

Because they are blocking their IPS s

Wait in Spain we got busses made in Germany and the Germans pens ones made in Spain?

[median wraith]

Looks like they will make it for new contract etc idk

[celest musk]

i think most busses here are german (MAN)

[median wraith]

We got Mercedes

MAN too but mostly Mercedes

But here says Germany have too

[celest musk]

where they are produced after all is another question

[median wraith]

Irizar?

[celest musk]

🤷.

i just know that volkswagen produces in poland, etc.

[median wraith]

Tbh I didn't even knew that Irizar was a thing

[celest musk]

me neither 😄

[median wraith]

Renault in Spain

Mostly

[celest musk]

it's very much possible that newer busses come from other countries tho, i haven't payed much attention lately

but given that a lot of german brands are slow with adapting to EV stuff...

[median wraith]

They point the city ones

[celest musk]

may also differ from region to region

[median wraith]

Seems to be like that

I didn't even know that trademark

[fathom wadi]

think how weird it's going to be when it's AI generative frames instead of a renderer.

[fathom wadi]

yeah they will still likely be the basis for the early years. But all kinds of interpolation can be done with AI for animation purposes so once it's got the models, it's good to go I would think. That being said, I don't see it happening for a few years at least. There are white papers on it so it's within the realm of possibility and Nvidia seem to have taken an interest in this.

[celest musk]

cascadeur was ass last time i've tried 😄

i think the non-commercial doesn't have any export options

it's more a demo than anything else?!

yea useless, what would you even use that for?

yea subscriptions are a scam

if you can't pay for a given period in advance, WITHOUT giving them privilege to draw from your account for auto renew (not sure how cascadeur handles that)

[fathom wadi]

I also hate animating. I've done so much animating over the last 2 and a half decades it feels boring as hell. I lose so much motivation when I have to animate from scratch. AI animation has been on my radar since 2018 SIGGRAPH with the mode-adaptive neural networks for non-bipedal animation (which technically is Motion Matching in UE).

[celest musk]

yea, i've messed around with some in-between ai models and started to integrate it into my blender workflow, it's a mixed bag tho

after all it's AI, and it does whatever tf it decides to do

i just wait till Tim adds it to Fortnite

[fathom wadi]

hey it worked out for websites on the internet. Especially the other month when NPM was hacked and malicious code was put into it and everyone had to update their crap. yay....

[summer cedar]

Good morning! ☁️ ☕

[fathom wadi]

I dunno. Good assets are still good assets. Like the plugin I just made. 😉

[celest musk]

i still wait for the day where there's a malicious unreal plugin

if there isn't one on Fab yet

[fathom wadi]

I was thinking about that earlier today. Not that I write malicious code, but I know how to do cross infection and polymorphism. I was thinking about how it would happen when it does. It gets even worse with AI being able to rewrite itself.

The good thing is I doubt it will happen from a plugin unless it has external content. That's where I could be suspicious of a plugin. However at some point I think someone will write a module that requires a download.

[pearl elk]

I remember someone on the UT4 forums threatening to put malicious code into their work 😛

[summer cedar]

Almost every anti-AI donkey whose posts I've read, threaten to put malicious code in their 'artwork' to prevent AIs from reading it, and to corrupt said AIs.

If people could just find private coping mechanisms, that'd be dandy. 😄

[celest musk]

i can't blame them

scrapping content for training is a dick move

[summer cedar]

I don't blame them. I just wish they'd find better coping mechanisms offline for themselves.

Or go on legal crusades and spare the forum spam. 😄

[summer cedar]

Speaking of autoplay ads... YT has managed to bypass browser ad blockers once more.

[celest musk]

i got banned from a forum once and all my posts got deleted because they wanted to make it paid and preserve all content

so told them that i might change my posts for stuff that they are not going to like in their paid service...

[summer cedar]

What kind of forum was this? Images and 3d models?

[celest musk]

nah, a car forum

[summer cedar]

🤔 why did they want to go paid?

[celest musk]

so people posted images and stuff about repairs

[summer cedar]

oh.

I see where their brains were headed. Dumb, but understandable.

[celest musk]

the whole thing got so much backlash that they had a small paid section after all

but yeah, they tried to turn a community into a small side business

[pearl elk]

the internet has lost so much great information by hosting going paid

[celest musk]

well, hosting such a forum is 10 bucks a month

that isn't the big deal if you have a community, there have been plenty of people who would have donated if it was just the cost of hosting

[pearl elk]

I barely go to forums anymore since its just dead photobucket links

we've lost heaps of great images, when you do a google search you end up with these little images which make it look like digital cameras wernt invented until 2008

[pearl elk]

I have a massive archive of all sorts of stuff from the late 90s early 00s before the internet got heavily corpo and copyright heavy

do a google image search and minus all the watermark sites, minus pinterest and youre left with like 10 hits which are all 180p 😛

theres a few which are completely gone from the internet too because the art books are no longer in print. You gotta buy a $1500 original from Amazon just to get a few images for reference, its rediculous

Im all for IP protection but protecting yourself into cultural non-existence is just stupid

Huang isnt asian 😛

[celest musk]

not?

[pearl elk]

but surely nvidia have the mathematical capability to know that caucasians will be bred out in a few generations especially from low birth rates

[celest musk]

ah, his parents immigrated to the US

but i would still guess that majority of nvidia happens in asian countries right now

[pearl elk]

reminds me of the gold rush days in the US and Australia, they were fear mongering about Chinese even back then. These days you get some people who yell at 6th generation Chinese Australians to go back home... yet here I am 2nd gen British Australian and get a free pass 😛

[celest musk]

isn't australia pretty much all immigrants either ways?!

[pearl elk]

here we have a real problem with British backpackers overstaying their visas but its only non-caucasians people hit out at over migration issues

yeah well most countries are like that these days because its a global economy. I dunno why the US are fighting so hard to keep their debt 😹

I was watching a US court thing the other day, teacher was on 60k USD/y and truck driver on 80K USD/y, I was like wow they arnt paid that bad at all because all I hear about is how bad the pay is over there

Just wanted to say that Windows11 notepad is the worst thing ever. Any tips for the most basic text editor. No tabs, no weird double file openings, etc?

and no icons or whatever.

[narrow sorrel]

Thanks for that

after some regedits i managed to get the default old notepad to open txt files.

Too many icons in Vim :/

[proud jay]

[median wraith]

You really love tower defensea

[summer cedar]

YOU!

I love anything with booms, rips, tears, discombulation, decapitation, rends, destruction, devastation, and explosiveness.

[fleet tangle]

Which game is that?

[granite panther]

the new anim framework in 5.8 and onwards will be very intresting. was watching the witcher talks and it seemed very promising. it basically allows for fully saturating all threads if i understood it right

[summer cedar]

I say to thee,
and to thee I say,
with utmost certainty,
and certainly utmost,
this game is called,
and folks call this game,
Tower Dominion.

[fleet tangle]

Cool.

I started playing core keeper the other day. Not a TD, but fun.

[summer cedar]

I played Core Keeper a bit. It's fun too.

There's another mining game that's similar.

[fleet tangle]

Probably a lot. 😛

@proud jay https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp39qx4ledeo - Uh....

I wonder if he'll double-tap the building next.

[proud jay]

fuck sake

they just don't stop being so fucking stupid

did you see their new great economic plan to invest money for some kids

and they call them Trump accounts

like come on

[summer cedar]

🤦‍♂️

might as well rename warheads to trumpheads, while we are at it.

[mild gust]

I thought I couldn't like him anymore

But you proved me wrong

[summer cedar]

--- Funds held in Trump accounts will be invested in a diversified, low-cost stock index fund mirroring the broader market. ---

So.... er...

how is this different from a 401k?

[mild gust]

Trump is now my favourite president of all time.

[summer cedar]

Or any other market-invested fund account?

--- Experts remain sceptical. The Trump administration’s tax-and-spending legislation includes significant cuts to social programmes such as Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) ---

Right, so you take existing funding away from poor people and give them a 'pension' account, for all intents and purposes with a piddling amount of money instead.

[proud jay]

they print 1000 dollars for every child

and they probably scim some money of the top for themselves

[mild gust]

You'd be dumb not to

[summer cedar]

--- Micheal and Susan Dell's donation expands the initiative to younger children who fall outside that federal window. Their $6.25 billion pledge provides $250 per child for at least 25 million children aged 10 and under. ---

I bet Dell is getting some cool AI centers or preferred GPU deliveries.

[summer cedar]

Did you donate your life savings to my Patreon yet?

Did you?! Hmmmmm?!!!

[mild gust]

I have no life savings

[summer cedar]

😱

[mild gust]

Living in debt is the future

[summer cedar]

You don't want to take advantage of the Ultimate Windbag Investment account?

[mild gust]

Not this year

Still gotta buy 4 24tb hdds

[proud jay]

gonna be rich with that 250 dollars

even with 10% compounding after 18 years that's still not 2k

[summer cedar]

Gotta help the poorly educated, man.

[proud jay]

I mean any money is nice money, but let's not pretend this is some crazy shit

don't forget the 20% managment fee of course

so in the end you'll only owe 10k

[summer cedar]

Hey, don't forget about the magical $2,000 dividend that he has 'brought in' from tariffs that foreign countries TOTALLY paid.

[proud jay]

oh yeah

what are we up to now

17 trillion dollars in tarrif revenue?

[summer cedar]

Gazillion trillion, from my last estimate.

It's a number only higher forms of intelligence can understand.

[proud jay]

I like that costco sued the white house over tarrifs

gonna be an interesting day if the supreme court rejects the tarrifs and they all have to be repaid

[summer cedar]

I think the US debt is up to 38 trillion now?

Something like that.

[summer cedar]

The best part is how those accounts CAN make it up to 1 million dollars, assuming parents contribute $5,000 every year from the time the baby is born.....

....because Americans have SO MUCH disposable income.

--- Americans are carrying an average of $105056 in debt --- from CNBC.
Totally capable of investing $5,000 every year in Trump accounts. 🤣

[proud jay]

well there's debt and there's debt

[summer cedar]

@proud jay He also says he wants to replace income taxes with tariff income, one day.

[proud jay]

I'm assuming a large part of that 105k is mortgage on houses

[proud jay]

luckily americans themselves are definitely not paying for the tarif

[summer cedar]

Yep.

💯

They can definitely pay those mortgages too, with all the money they'll most definitely save in not paying income taxes AND tariffs.

Good morning! 🌞 ☕

[summer cedar]

Just finished speaking to a new student who runs four Italian restaurants in Tokyo.

He's apparently a sommelier in his own restaurant. He won a wine competition and got a free ticket to tour Italy for two weeks, a couple of years ago.

Amazing stuff.

You know, it just occurred to me that I could ask AI to help me make a cool build in PoE 2. 🤣 🤦‍♂️
