Just for you, I took a photo of the loot in my fridge.
The 7 puffs and 8 samosas are in the plastic bag on the bottom right.
The 1 puff on the bottom left is from the previous bakery trip.
The breads - spicy and garlic - are in the middle shelf.
The loaf is from the previous shopping trip.
Citizen puffs ID001 and ID002, along with immigrant samosa ID001 are in my stomach.

naaaah, game is totally playable without RT
infact I would argue for it, RT doesnt work well with the culling system in this game, shadow pop is for real
if you can do RT on full tho why not but yeah dont buy Nvidia for RT... buy it for AI chooms

I got spoiled by Starfield. I tried to play Cyberpunk twice and both times, got bored by the lack of radiant quests.
I just wanted to drive around the city being a nuisance, murdering killers, looting stuff, etc. etc.
pearl elk
huh, you walked around in Starfield for hours but you got bored in a game with cars
summer cedar
Yeah. ๐คฃ I just loved going around murdering stuff, looting everything, selling it, and flying around the galaxy.
In fact, I might want to do another run soon โข
pearl elk
Cyberpunk has random scenarios and theres plenty of side quests
unborn lotus
Starfield aged poorly before even being released
pearl elk
infact I would argue Cyberpunk is the best RPG ever made because it automatically assigns stats based on how you play not arbitrary numbers
summer cedar
It could be. But I got into it too late.
pearl elk
its a roleplaying game in every sense of the word
bethesdas are just stat sink wannabes

Oh yeah, for sure. All the costs will be borne by the plebs.

summer cedar
Tower Dominion definitely needs more recon-based structures.
The recon tower ALONE is a problem for the greenpeace loser-faction on the right.
fleet tangle
I think the problem with it is that camoflaged mobs aren't revealed by detecting towers, the are only targetable by detecting towers. And none of them have a priority for camouflaged mobs.
summer cedar
Everything else appears to be upgrades or locked behind some high-tier bp.
I want moar green-currency turrets.
summer cedar
I've played all of them and it's obvious that the dev has been partial to Trump... er, I mean USA. ๐
The blue faction is very well-endowed. ๐
Red Faction is okay with tank buffs, but they need more infantry and tank turrets.
Green is basically Greta Thunberg faction, neglected and exploited. ๐คฃ
They desperately need more green turrets.
Most of their characters get recon-based buffs. Problem is, you have to focus on upgrades and the buildings with THOSE upgrades are generally either expensive or/and mid-late-game.

My latest project
proud jay
is it a crack pipe?
summer cedar
are you implying Hawke's going to smuggle crack via boat by Venezuela?
white oxide
no
its a 36 inch long nitro powered boat from the lat 1980's
things literally one of the last of its kind ANYWHERE
let alone being so PERFECTLY preserved
summer cedar
market value?
white oxide
assuming the right buyer (nitro is old now), probably like 400-500 usd
and got it for $40
i detatched the engine with care, the engine is worth about $150-180 to the right buyer, the OG controller is worthless bunk at this point despit working
its an old sub ghz crystal transmitter
so im just gonna use that for fun stuff in my DIY pile
gonna retromod the hull for inboard engine, and get this baby up to 50mph
on a rarity scale this is a 9.5/10
white oxide
and im about to spend ~$500 usd to turn it into the ultimate unique sleeper build boat
summer cedar
Don't forget the border patrol mortars and barbed shell guns.
pearl elk
is there anything on the UE future roadmap that was added this year?
maybe we're finally nearing the end of the road, the engine to end all engines
summer cedar
Check under Forward Looking in the UE Public Roadmap.
pearl elk
thats what Im doing, its all old
late 2023 and mid 2024, cant find much newer
and alot of these ones are added in already like UMG viewmodel, Common UI, Modeling Tools, ML Deformer, Motion Matching etc
unless theres now a roadmap for 6.0 which is private
summer cedar
Then check this video.
Just skip to all the slides for the text and ignore the audio.
42:45 is engine optimisation
pearl elk
I'll have a look but I doubt theres much new there
summer cedar
mainly for PS5.
pearl elk
I mean UE5 did add alot of cool stuff, just abit concerned about the future tech stack considering Nvidia has neural shaders and all this other cool shit
does anyone actually do game dev in VR? or was that all just hype?
summer cedar
There are VR games in the market and new ones being released, but it's a niche community right now.
pearl elk
nah I mean games development in VR, it could be for VR games but doesnt have to be
summer cedar
Neural shaders with better file sizes is fairly new. I bet NVidia will release UE plugins, like DLSS plugins.
What do you mean game dev in VR?
You mean a developer coding in virtual reality?
pearl elk
remember when Epic used to do VR demos with level design tools
summer cedar
That I don't know.
pearl elk
they would be waving their arms around, look we can move this over here, place meshes, paint shit etc
I just thought that might become a thing
summer cedar
why wave your hand and dong, when you can just speak your requirements have AI generate everything?
I think future developments will involve stronger AI integration, especially Chinese AI variants from Tencent and whatever.
pearl elk
also guys, stop using Calibri its too woke, you gotta use Times New Roman
summer cedar
That includes more coding AI and whatever.
Fast games publication and release, etc. etc.
summer cedar
also guys, stop using Calibri its too woke, you gotta use Times New Roman
Yeah, the reason why Marco changed that is so lame, it's not worth calling lame.
pearl elk
what if you could talk to an AI and interact with it in VR though, wouldnt that be a superior option?
summer cedar
That's not really the issue, in as much as the cost for a full VR kit and potential benefits are.
When I can type faster than waving Mr. Dingle around, why VR?
pearl elk
yeah cuz running a good AI model is cheap ๐
summer cedar
it's free.... for you.
pearl elk
I just find it odd how fast these technologies fall off, I cant even remember the last time a game hyped that it was using RT
summer cedar
It's not odd. It's just human life.
It happens in so many fields.
All the failed businesses and their prototypes.
We just don't notice it when we are restricted to our fields.
pearl elk
yeah which is why Im worried about Epic not having a roadmap paved well into the future
summer cedar
Why? They are earning lots of money.
celest musk
I mean UE5 did add alot of cool stuff, just abit concerned about the future tech...
i'm kinda convinced that they will come to UE soonish, maybe even before UE6 ๐คท
summer cedar
Fortnite baby, UE in manufacturing industries baby, UE movies baby.
As a matter of fact, us game devs are probably going to become a minor part of their cash livestock.
I think I posted an article about this before.
Epic's shifted its attention to animation studios.
celest musk
eh.... more studios are switching to UE5, so there will still be good income
summer cedar
It was last month? Something like that.
celest musk
i guess most money they make of indies is indirect from Fab sales
summer cedar
'good' and 'minor part' live together.
pearl elk
hey Im not worried about where Epics focus is just that I would like to know their plans, I know some of it they dont want to announce too soon to generate hype but it also makes it look like they got nothing going on
summer cedar
especially when you get millions or billions from animes and movies.
summer cedar
hey Im not worried about where Epics focus is just that I would like to know the...
yeah, check the video I linked.
celest musk
for movies they have great competition... AI
pearl elk
theres plenty of new systems I dont actually require more, I just want to see more improvements to the UX
celest musk
you can slop together bullshit in blender with pong shader and give it to AI to make it look good
pearl elk
yeah I guess the bigger problem is the industry itself and the games its delivering
if all Epic did was make UE more stable and better usability I could live with that
celest musk
the good things usually catch that much attention sadly...
e.g. all they did/do for parallel rendering
and less gamethread heavy "engineloop"
pearl elk
yeah all the async stuff will definitely help me improve performance but theres not much I can do for the image fidelity
celest musk
megalights is a major improvement, too
pearl elk
it all looks great on those big screens when Epic demos it but its honestly a pretty messy image when you break it down
that underlying fidelity matters so much more with modern upscaling solutions
part of the problem is we are never treated to uncompressed video, YTs algorithm is super aggressive these days and even wants to push lower resolutions than 1080p
pearl elk
celest musk
watch it in 4k to notice a pixel flicker
pearl elk
just look how bad that compression is
celest musk
is that from your source video?
pearl elk
the grid is barely visible
celest musk
as screen capture already imposes compression
pearl elk
I did a raw png, as close as I could to source
celest musk
just ran lately into that and my first assumption was that it is YT, but it's not
celest musk
no i mean the video that was uploaded to YT
pearl elk
but thats part of the issue when youre talking fidelity, you need to use special services just to share uncompressed images because alot will autocompress
TI cant even discuss the issue properly on YT because of the compression in his videos
celest musk
i could bet that it's screen capture compression which was in the original source video that was uploaded to YT
pearl elk
thats raw capture from my screen, noisy AF
pearl elk
yeah its worse when you move then when you stop and it filters
and large changes in lighting from dark to light or light to dark its super bad
like exiting a tunnel for eg
there is a fair bit of noise on that grid material so perhaps thats not helping this particular scenario but if thats the case Epic shouldnt be promoting those worst cases ๐
I guess I could solve all my issues and make a 2d turn based card game with UE
celest musk
or catch alligators for a living
celest musk
now i kinda wanna rewatch those
pearl elk
you wont be able to watch the originals, theyve been edited
celest musk
what did they have to change?!
pearl elk
there were some jokes which must have hurt someone with soft skin, tbh I thought the representation in this film was a huge positive
pearl elk
yeah but they didnt edit The Sum of Us even though it has a similar sense of humour
I really enjoyed that time because they just did it you know, like Ghostbusters "Ive seen shizz that'll turn you white!" no one was offended by that line cuz its hilarious
Most people probably dont even know Russell Crowe played a gay man before Gladiator
Im just sour about not being able to watch the theatrical released of the Star Wars original trilogy ๐
surprised they didnt edit out the luke/leia kiss

Meta Quest 3 seems to have cornered the VR market on Amazon India.
Affordable, easily available, etc. etc.
pearl elk
I heard its having a price hike
summer cedar
apparently, the Meta Quest is standalone too.
So, it doesn't require a beefy GPU in your PC and all that jazz.
At least, that's what I understood at a glance.
celest musk
yea it's a fun thing and affordable
and works with UE, so you can build standalone apps for it
but the whole Meta experience sucks (imho)
starting with their unreal plugin (which might be because i'm on Linux)
and to their market
they really have the balls to ask 30% fee like steam does
while providing us with the most shitty dev tools ever ๐

I wanted to love Diablo 4 so much and the campaign was great, but they fluffed the end game. So when the expansion dropped I refused to buy it. Now I pretend it doesn't exist

yeah I was watching the Game Awards via a POE streamer (GhazzyTV) and he turned off the Evancescence performance to watch the vid. Looks good
I was gonna go Pathfinder for first char, then switch to Druid later on when the builds are figured out. But now I'm thinking Sorc might be worth it.

I'm putting your filter on Very Strict when you aren't looking so you don't get any levelling items ยฌ_ยฌ
summer cedar
I'm spawning three djinns to debuff and explode elementally around you. ๐
fathom wadi
you starting with sorc then?
summer cedar
Probably wolf druid, honestly. But, minion-spam sorc does have its allure.
fathom wadi
I'm not sure what to do. I know druid will be slow levelling, sorc won't come online until ascendancies so might be a bit slow/squishy. Kinda wanna check out poison pathfinder but as Fubgun is doing it then gear won't be cheap. So.... /shrugs
I'm interested in a few of the spectre changes so might go with that but the dps on that is terrible for levelling
summer cedar
Go with Druid and use elemental clearance. Respec later on to whatever you want.
fathom wadi
yeah makes sense as its the druid league. It's not gonna be a cheap end game tho
summer cedar
Stomp God bear form seems like another slam-dunking warrior.
It might actually be quite strong.
fathom wadi
yeah bear and wyvern look decent. wolf seems like it could be great for levelling though if you can get added cold to supplement it
summer cedar
I'll probably go wolf and see if I can max attack speed, because I'm nuts that way.
ANGWY WOLF ftw! ๐บ Awooooooo!
fathom wadi
thats why I was interested in pathfinder this league. no stuns while running is gonna be OP
I mean, not the stun part, the ability to keep running so movement speed will rule. And MS is god in POE2
summer cedar
8 minutes to go, woo hoo!
I bet first half hour will be full of crashes, 'cuz reasons....
fathom wadi
yeah. same old same. Not sure if there will be the influx at league start though as Diablo 4 released Paladin yesterday in a vain effort to try usurp the league. But as we know, only real gamers play POE2 so let the fakers have their moment until they realise the Pally isn't like the D2 pally and in fact they bought the expansion just to farm shit items from Mephisto.
summer cedar
I heard something about D4 vaguely.
But, I've ignored it for awhile now.
I'll get back to D4 someday. I never finished the game.
fathom wadi
Obviously I'm a huge diablo fan, but they lost me in the season before the first expansion
summer cedar
Queen what's-her-name was simply not as interesting as Diablo.
fathom wadi
the single player campaign is awesome. I loved it. I'll try it again as soon as they PUT FREAKING DIABLO IN THE GAME ! /shouts
Lilith
summer cedar
Chasing that horned terror-monger was what kept me coming back to Diablo.
fathom wadi
I liked Lilith. There is cool backstory for her. Mother of creation and all that. But they just don't have a fun end game.
summer cedar
Without him, it seems.... uh, pointless.
fathom wadi
yeah. Consider the story arc of Diablo 3, you would expect some kind of continuation, but it kinda stops dead and takes a new arc entirely
the final cutscene of the campaign though is still one of the best I've seen. Well worth the playthrough.
I think that Divinity (Larian) trailer is a close second though. Beautiful animations

I wanted to use bullet instead of coding too, but I want my solver to be reeeallly fast, since my goal is to simulate thousands of ragdolls. It also means that it's gonna be way simpler than a full scale physics solver, cuz u only need to simulate capsules. But hell even a simple physics solver is a hell of a ride for somebody with zero physics knowledge (me)
I mean it can already do that, but damn those ragdolls slide like crazy...

I wonder if its because the art style looks cheap or people are just over hero shooters, Marvel Rivals did really well so I dunno
Im just trying to distill what causes these types of games to fail to avoid similar pitfalls in my own projects
Every big streamer has talked about how bad the finale was at TGAs, I dont think they are just piling on because I could feel the vibe shift after the other awesome announcements
looking at Highguard I just wonder if it is this sort of generic fantasy art style people arnt vibing with, if I look at most the other high profile failures in the space most of them have questionable art styles and not the most cohesive art direction
fathom wadi
I was shocked at this tbh. Considering the other candidates, Fortnite is light years ahead with the ongoing support for the Fortnite + UEFN services.
But The Game Awards isn't the be all and end all really. It's 90% adverts, 5% music/guests and 5% awards.
pearl elk
No Mans Sky has been winning those types of awards since before Fortnite blew up
If you rate games based on ongoingness it wins lol
fathom wadi
Yeah but they don't patch it every week
And considering Epic update the engine accordingly too, it's a double whammy
pearl elk
I would argue weekly patches are annoying AF personally
fathom wadi
got to fix those bugs tho.
pearl elk
but I do think there needs to be more technical achievement awards at TGAs but they do have DICE awards for those
pearl elk

we could have The Fortnite Awards where every award goes to Fortnite

Ive installed it acouple of times and never really played it, the main menu was enough to turn me off lol
I tried UEFN too, first attempt the island wouldnt work cuz it was blocked for some reason. Then when it worked I played some demo FPS thing but had no idea what I was meant to be doing to make anything lol

wasnt Doom released in 2016 ๐น

What a nice game the 2016 one
They made Ratchet & Clank Gore Edition
Actually the parkour one was more equal
pearl elk
less time between Doom and UT3 then between UT3 and now
thats how much shit has stagnated, just look at Doom versus UT3
median wraith
UT3 was basically a Quake version be honest
As all the Unreal ones
Now Epic have a game that's a version of all modern ones
I was expecting a total different thing for Fortnite when they showcased the first trailer by 2011
And it's funny because what I was expecting still unique and nobody released it
Maybe is a shit that only works on my head
But could be ironic if someone copy Epic and success on something they never made up
pearl elk
Yeah no doubt UT3 is derivative but why does its ambitions seem far more lofty than most modern titles?
Im looking at this Highguard and I was like oh this doesnt look that epic because Ive seen games at this sort of scale before especially shooters
Even in the MOBA space its not exactly original if I exclude shooters
the difference with UT3 is if you look back a decade or so the scale completely changes where now... You could look back further and its not a grand leap
