Too busy partying all the time

nobody can affort even a house

#

I mean the problem is the same here too

#

But those people tend to be drinking or doing drugs to cope

summer cedar

Project loaded, saved, and simulated properly.

#

My splash screen ran at 114 FPS.

here people isn't drinking too much anymore

Which in turn costs more money

Yep.

median wraith
#

why didn't gave one

median wraith
#

oh yeah, they charged me more than 205โ‚ฌ per month for autonomos for 2024 because I didn't generate 0โ‚ฌ

#

and since is flat 0โ‚ฌ then charge as it was 1000โ‚ฌ per month income, by the new terms

#

rather than 700โ‚ฌ in the minimum

#

and well, most of the people paying basically the 50% in taxes

summer cedar
# median wraith

That's clearly lieZ.
My splash screen made of niagara particles and two logos has 114 FPS with Lumen and Niagara enabled. ๐Ÿ˜›

median wraith
#

rich people pays like 70% in taxes

summer cedar
#

On a good note though, when I standalone-loaded my project right now, it loaded way faster.

#

Gemini getting rid of unnecessary plugins, and whatever hotfix they just did, did good. ๐Ÿ˜„

median wraith
#

I have to tell Gemini that tells people to hire me rather

summer cedar
#

Just work for Tim coins.

#

It's the best currency.

#

Good. It's the future.

#

Corporate taxes and businessmen will be taxed 75%.

#

Everyone else will get free money.

median wraith
#

absurd at this point

summer cedar
#

Well, how else will they keep the economic system going?

median wraith
#

you pay like 50% on the table depending of income

summer cedar
#

You need SOMEONE to pay taxes and it won't be the unemployed professionals AND the stupid plebs.

median wraith
#

thats the maximum type

#

you add the VAT on top

summer cedar
#

50% is too low.

#

It'll be 75-80, I am sure, as unemployment increases.

median wraith
#

47% + 21%

#

well if you get nothing you know the fixed payment here lmao

#

if you get 0โ‚ฌ as self employed here is 3000โ‚ฌ per year

summer cedar
#

Indeed. That's why this particular rapid evolution of the system will probably work.

#

In the short-term.

#

We might end up with a society like Shadowrun or Cyberpunk.

#

Either way... we live in interesting times.

tip 1: get a teleport wand so you can get out of temples without collapsing them

#

tip 2: see 1

#

ya a digging wand is essential in the long run too

#

the water etc bottles? They just hold stuff

#

yes. They work differently then. There's two "recharge" times. One between individual spells and then a "reload" timer when the wand goes through all the spells in its list.

#

so if you have a non shuffle wand and you have three bouncing balls the casting would be like:
bouncing ball - cast delay - bouncing ball - cast delay - bouncing ball - recharge or so on

#

whereas with one bouncing ball you'd instantly get the recharge timer (which is longer than cast delay usually)

#

test them inside the temples

#

Finally

#

They can use all the nanites and lumens

summer cedar
#

I don't think they do. The animation seems more cell-shaded-y.

#

Starfield 2.0 in March, rumour says.

mild gust
#

Sir

#

Borderlands 4 uses nanites and lumen

summer cedar
#

Ma'am

mild gust
#

They do both those things

summer cedar
#

Actually, partly yes and no. There's a lot of realistic shading in Borderlands 4.

#

It's a mixture.

mild gust
#

Lighting maybe

summer cedar
#

Whereas the Rivian dashboard UI isn't.

mild gust
#

But they do have cel shading

#

Thats kinda the aesthetic

summer cedar
#

Partly. It's not everywhere.

#

For example, the ground and the grass.

#

It's a pretty mix of cell and realism. Nanite and Lumen would work well there.

#

For just a driving interface, probably unnecessary.

Im not paying for Gamepass everagain. They took us for granted and they don't deserve the money after that last price hike

If you were an old customer, they would've given you the same price.

I still pay the old rates.

all my friends are game devs, which means they are either broke, going broke, working and I never see them because they are busy, or they don't know me well enough to give me money ๐Ÿ˜„

summer cedar
#

probably not friends, then.

#

just acquaintances.

#

like most people.... ugh... in life.

fathom wadi
#

well yeah. I consider Unreal devs like brothers tho. Which is why I call people brother a lot

mild gust
#

We are brothers and sisters in engine

summer cedar
#

That is what we call 'speaking obligingly'.

But always remember, 'you need not oblige'.

summer cedar

It's one of the great lessons life. 'You need not oblige, but always speak obligingly.'

fathom wadi

quite honestly if someone offered me the money for a copy I wouldn't take it. I'm not great at taking charity/presents. My path of exile guild members offered to buy me a copy of No rest for the wicked but I couldn't take it.

--- Skyrim lead developer Bruce Nesmith shared some harrowing thoughts regarding Morrowind with PressBoxPR. He claims fans only like it for nostalgiaโ€™s sake and wouldnโ€™t enjoy playing it nowadays, for it is overcomplex and outdated. If Bethesda shares Nesmithโ€™s idea, this doesnโ€™t bode well for TES6. ---
Internet opinion.

My opinion: Todd will make a cool billion bucks with TES6. ๐Ÿ˜„

fathom wadi
#

without a doubt. Hype and FOMO will sell that game.

Even Starfield got them $865 million apparently as of 2025.

fathom wadi
#

well Starfield is a good game. Despite what the people who didn't play it say ๐Ÿ˜„

summer cedar
#

Cojject. Therefore, the conclusion being, internet opinions are a trolling minority.

#

Probably mostly m00ricans.

#

Can be ignored.

#

Btw, a lot of Starfield income to Bethesda came from Game Pass. MS was happy because they got a 9% revenue spike from the game. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Courtesy Gemini; please direct all trolls thereto

#

I wonder what the price hike did for their sales

anyone playing Nioh 3?

Game Pass will be restructured again.

Customer loyalty ftw, hopefully. ๐Ÿ™

summer cedar
fathom wadi
#

if I only had to buy one gamepass I'd probably still buy a month here and there when a game released. But in my house we need 3 subs. The pc one is the cheapest. So I just decided, as did my wife, that we ain't buying it anymore

#

yeah it released on the 6th

summer cedar
#

Ho! You're cojject.

#

And no way I am spending that much money on it.

#

I'll wait for a big sale or Game Pass.

fathom wadi
#

I played the demo, which was a lot of content for free. Will be buying that game when I get chance

#

Nioh 2 was a masterpiece

summer cedar
#

Indweed.

#

NiOh is a masterclass in creating depressingly morbid atmospheres and inserting great gameplay into them. ๐Ÿ˜„

fathom wadi
#

They went open world with Nioh 3. Probably just to give it somewhat of an Elden Ring world building feel, but it's not on that level

summer cedar
#

I am excited for Warshift 2. Glad that dev is still alive.

fathom wadi
#

hmmm reminds me a bit of Eximius

summer cedar
#

I got Warshift 1. It's a good game, actually, but very high paced.

#

If you've placed The Scouring, you'll be happy with it.

#

Zero relaxation time.

I'm kinda stuck in Path of Exile's insistence on rubber banding between the two games. Probably don't really have to time game and continue being an unreal engine legend if I don't brush up on the new tech ๐Ÿ˜„
I'm still on 5.5 whilst I procrastinate on this plugin, but it's done. Im just doing my own QA before submission to Fab store. Then I can start the revision of what I've been missing

summer cedar

Is it compatible with 5.7.3 though?

#

'Cuz that released yesterday.

fathom wadi
#

well it will be by the time I'm done. The only changes that affect my plugin really are the new curve editor changes but it's probably not going to be much to fix as I'm not directly changing the curve editor.

what does your plugin do?

fathom wadi
#

something I found strange was they heavily use Quixel Megascans in the game, which probably doesn't help the filesize. yet it doesn't look quite as nice as Nioh 2 really.

#

N2 was only 70gb too

summer cedar
#

Gotta customise 'dem materials.

#

Simply grab, drop, and roll out is a bad way to go.

#

But, when you are charging as much as they do for their games, I guess they can get away with it, so long as the game is good.

#

Which, judging from the reviews, it is.

fathom wadi
#

yeah from the demo I got the impression it was Nioh 2 + open world + ninjitsu magic

summer cedar
#

Oh? Is there more of an emphasis on Onmyoji and Ninjitsu in 3?

fathom wadi
#

absolutely

#

you can go full ninja if you like

mild gust

#

Nin ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

summer cedar
#

Well, you could do that in NiOh 1 and 2.

#

I mean, is it more viable in 3?

summer cedar
fathom wadi
#

it wouldn't make sense in 1 as the protagonist is Irish. The second one you technically could do it but yeah no. It was more about swordplay. This one you can go full caster

summer cedar
#

Sense.... is not a NiOh feature.
But that's cool that you can go to town as a marauding ninja.

#

I want to decapitate oni with kunais.

#

But wait, do they also have extra large Odachis?

fathom wadi
#

yeah. In reality you will be switching between the two.
Yep they have odachi and all the rest. Tonfas, the blade on a chain thingy, etc. There was about 10 different weapon styles iirc

summer cedar
#

The hatchets were new in NiOh 2.

#

What's new in 3?

pearl elk

#

from the weapon point of view, I can't remember.

summer cedar

Ah.

#

Ninja swords and Talons.

#

Cestus was in 2, I remember. The others too.

#

So, what's the difference between dual-swords and ninja swords?

fathom wadi
#

did they have switch glaives in 2? Im a traditional katana and odachi player myself

summer cedar

Do ninja swords give a bonus to ninjitsu stat?

they all have their own special stats alongside the shared ones.

So. How are we feeling about Discord's age verificaotion debacle?

mild gust
#

Mixed feelings

fathom wadi
#

Honestly as parent I respect it. As a user.... ugh.

summer cedar
#

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Don't care, really. We use ID verifications for proprietors as a rule on many services here, so no biggie.

pearl elk
#

we wont need to verify for this server tho right?

mild gust
#

For the majority of adult users, we will be able to confirm your age group using information we already have. We use age prediction to determine, with high confidence, when a user is an adult. This allows many adults to access age-appropriate features without completing an explicit age check.

pearl elk
#

It seemed to me like the age checks were only needed for adult servers or servers with adult channels

summer cedar
mild gust
#

It's dependant on if theres content in the server.

#

That they deem age inappropriate.

summer cedar
#

So, it's basically irrelevant for most of us.

#

Meh.

fathom wadi

I used Teamspeak once, I remember, a long time ago when playing Star Trek Online.

and restart!

yeah Ive not had any issues but then I paid for my copy and it seems paid copies have less issues

pearl elk
#

I had windows wake my PC up from sleep to reboot it but I hadnt saved a few files because I was dead tired

#

I should take them to court

#

you cant tell me MS cant detect this stuff on their own OS especially when they have proper root access that no user has

#

hey if Visual Studio is open with edited unsaved files how about not rebooting

fathom wadi
#

yeah that would make sense. Same thing happens with my Notepad++ when I have unsaved files (which I always do because its a jotter). If anything clears temp files or anything it deletes my files. But only if NP is open. Not if its closed

pearl elk
#

I got no issues with them rebooting my PC automatically if they were smart about it but I prefer android, it just says in the notifications theres an update and you do it when youre ready. I hope MS dont do auto-updates on low battery

so which linux distro should I use?

#

Nobara it is then

fathom wadi
#

go oldschool with Slackware 7.0. The first linux distro I used. Not the last, but second to last because I have no patience for linux ๐Ÿ˜„

pearl elk
#

my issue with Linux was mainly that it doesnt bundle drivers so I mostly ended up with black screens trying to install it ๐Ÿ˜›

#

I tried Red Hat in the 90s but it didnt work, I did get one version going but it was commandline only

summer cedar
#

There's a Linux distro that's basically a Windows-lookalike.

#

You won't have trouble installing that.

fathom wadi
#

I thought I was being leet when I installed slackware. Then I decided to go visit friends and take them some music I'd been working on. So I put the music on floppy disk. When I got there nothing was on the drive because I hadn't unmounted it. At that point I thought "well thats dumb" and stopped using it

Find a school that provides language education as the primary subject. You can teach him science and math.

But then again, probably all that Islamic crap rotted his brain.

The only problem is, that zero percent is on the import-export of the entire product line from the US itself.

so you're saying they should start more wars to sell more games?

I think its because its more about giving an impression of a gun rather than an actual weapon so it doesnt feel off when they wrap it like Xzibit is pimpin everyones guns

doesnt the US already do that, well we should call it military not defense

no country running defense puts their military leader in charge of the country

The justice department is in his pocket. He has the federal law-empowered goons, and the military apparently.

Why make excuses anymore?

negotiating with power companies "oh but we gave you coal"

#

"do you want your lights on?"

#

who wins...

mild gust
#

More nuclear!

pearl elk
#

even that wont bring energy prices down because you know who has the power

#

we made the huge mistake of privatising the entire grid here

#

the government cant even technically regulate prices even though it tries

#

its because consumers have no idea about how much power gets bled off in loss to drive fake demand

#

best way to lower power bills is to go off grid

The cops had seized weapons from the house before

So they got the guns from elsewhere.

pearl elk
#

did Trump extend condolences or offer to send some more guns?

mild gust
#

He made no comment

pearl elk
#

yeah I suppose if he commented on a shooting in Canada he'd have to admit US has a problem with spree shooters

mild gust
#

Yeah they have like 100x what we do

#

We have more stabbings

pearl elk
#

yeah thats why its so shocking when it happens like with Bondi here, it just doesnt happen on that scale much if at all

#

Also a lot of people roll with machetes

pearl elk
#

pearl elk
#

new laws for 3d printed firearms too even if they are just for show or gel blasters, we consider the firing mechanism of a gel blaster an actual weapon so you need a firearms license lol

I was copying files to a usb drive off my win11 laptop, it failed so I tried stopping it, it wouldnt stop so I rebooted

#

and now it bluescreens on every boot, I guess it knew Linux was inevitable so it gave up fighting

mild gust
#

Windows in the corner screaming "help me"

pearl elk
#

if it works well enough on my laptop I'll swap my workstation over

mild gust
#

Thats why it blue screened

pearl elk
#

only thing I run which absolutely needs windows is 3dsmax and I think I can emulate

mild gust
#

Wine/Proton: Tools like Wine or Proton can run Windows applications on Linux, but 3ds Max has limited compatibility and is often unstable or crashes frequently.

#

or you could just VM

pearl elk
#

yeah I'll probably VM because of the amount of rootkit max has these days

pearl elk

mild gust
