Oh the pilot thing

[summer cedar]

Yes, meow.

How are you today, meow?

[mild gust]

[summer cedar]

Nani?

[mild gust]

I smashed my right hand on a dishwasher and it hurt

What I get for moving too fast

[summer cedar]

Was this in a fit of rage at Mark Carney?

[mild gust]

Na I was just trying to boogie

and carelessly swung my arm

[summer cedar]

Do you have an Iodex spray?

[mild gust]

Nope

I'll just put ice on it in 15 mins

[summer cedar]

Get one from your local pharmacy, if it's available.

Also, take one tablet of paracetamol.

The spray will numb the outer pain.

The tablet will numb the inner one.

Easy fix until your hand becomes normal again.

[mild gust]

Only really outer pain rn didn't bruise though

So should be fine

Just was annoying because it was preventable

[summer cedar]

It will be. No need to be in pain until then though.

Do drugs.

That's what they are there for.

[mild gust]

Way ahead of ya

Drugs are good

[summer cedar]

Paracetamol is one of the best inventions of n00bkind. 😄

[mild gust]

Ikr

[summer cedar]

I also discovered Mucosil towards the end of last year.

It's the next best invention of n00bkind.

[mild gust]

Imagine being us and being so weak we can't handle pain

So we need a drug to help

Most animals just suffer

[summer cedar]

That's God's fault.

He didn't make gyms for nerves.

[mild gust]

The flying spaghetti monster should work harder

[summer cedar]

Well, technically, there IS a way to exercise your nerves.

BUT....

It's a very energy-intensive, long process that is not worth doing.

[mild gust]

Does it involve an island?

[summer cedar]

So yeah, flying spaghetti's fault.

Sadly, no.

I worked with someone recently

[summer cedar]

[summer cedar]

Wha....

Was he cognisant of who she was?

[mild gust]

Apparently she's "hot"

Not at first

Lol

[summer cedar]

Ah, that's okay.

[mild gust]

But he didn't change his mind after

😂

[summer cedar]

Meh, it's hard for men.

Once all that energy is focused, it has to go someplace.

Btw, Lucifer.....

Seems someone beat me to SM6 only.

[mild gust]

But why

[summer cedar]

Same reasons as I have, I guess.

Easier to develop, easier to support, etc. etc.

BUT....... they didn't take care of the downside.

Gotta get it right. Fewer points of failure. And they seem to have failed.

What was the PS3 resolution?

[summer cedar]

1080p > 1080i > 720p > 480p/576p > Standard (NTSC:480i/PAL:576i).

[median wraith]

For 120p

[summer cedar]

Ive seen this Black Mirror episode, it didnt end well

[proud jay]

I miss coherent sentences and charisma

[median wraith]

So it seems like UE uses the SIMD as someone asked

for frustrum and those kinds of calcs too

well

you cannot do it other way around for many elements

depends of the platform

audio too and other elements

need a CPU pass

for distance culling and other things

well

HLODs etc

must be managed via CPU

dont ?

you need logical changes too and bulk data

say textures etc

all that pass via the CPU

[pearl elk]

maybe look at how Doom Dark Ages did culling and lods

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTrdeqMMMK0

[median wraith]

I was thinking... @trail ore if you had to render all that individual lights data from GTA lets say, you store all lights in arrays with location, direction, color and radius. But not into a single array, you do like a voxel grid or something or what you think is better to constant update and draw those sprites ?

the distance ones

are basically sprites

but sure share the same info in general

of the close ones

[soft night]

https://giphy.com/gifs/moodman-hVP3ippY6MdtJ2Yd3X

[median wraith]

yeah I know that article but

the issue is UE don't let you read some data directly from what I know

maybe now with the new systems you can read it

[pearl elk]

render one sprite per pixel

[summer cedar]

No. Why is he there?

[mild gust]

Hasan Piker is scheduled to speak at the University of British Columbia (UBC) on February 12, 2026, as part of the Phil Lind Initiative at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts.

His appearance has sparked significant controversy due to his history of inflammatory statements, including claims that “America deserved 9/11,” demonization of Jews and Israelis, and amplification of extremist actors like the Houthi-linked influencer Rashid al-Haddad.

There's also the problem of old hardware. On new hardware, Windows runs without issues for the most part, unless MS screws up an .exe or something.

What's this?

Killed a snake. Got white powder. Think its coke?

@zinc matrix I discovered I've been a bit of a dolt, today.

Turns out that after Renewal, iRO introduced a +15/-15 exp efficiency cap for hunting monsters. I didn't know about this until now, when I started levelling my FOURTH character.

SO, following that experience cap, I've gained about 140 base levels and 120 job levels just today. 😄 I levelled my hunter to Sniper and now almost ready to go to the 3rd job. 😄

[median wraith]

There's another one that is hard to come by, but has battery. Yolink Hub 3.

Gemini gave me these 3.

Ask Gemini yourself. You might get products that are available in Spain and cheaper.

Xiaomi Smart Home Hub 2 have also low USB connection

See! AI is your friend.

[summer cedar]

For the other characters, yes.

For this ranger, nope, until the last 3 levels for 99/70.

Don't need them so long as I follow the exp cap +15 closely.

Of course, now that I need Ranger job levels, it's different.

I could've avoided the bounty board on the other characters, too, if I had known about this +15/-15 thing.

I love how timeless this game is.

Even after all these years....

No, it's a level thing to prevent power levelling.

I don't know if you played RO in the old days.

Back then, you could take an archer into a VERY HIGH level area and get something like 20 job levels in one kill.

For example, Greatest General could never hit your n00b archer.

It was a ranged character abuse mechanic to just go and hunt level 70 monsters from the get-go. 🤣

I've exploited it many times with my friends.

They patched it up.

Otherwise, Rangers would be dime-a-dozen with just hunting Droseras outside Rachel. 🤣

I played for 1.5 years. 😄

Pre-Juno. 😄

Left after that. It was such a time-sink. 😄

Hehehe.

Love this game. 🙂

I think all my characters so far are AGI, STR/DEX, LUK stackers.

Knight and Merchant have STR, Archer DEX, Doram AGI and STR.

The Doram is level 86. It's the only char left to cross over to next class.

damm man

does this have AI too?

[summer cedar]

Although that I am not so very interested in.

[median wraith]

those are batteries.

[median wraith]

this isn't litium I think

this batteries are Ni-MH

seems like all the rechargeable are

[mild gust]

[median wraith]

and then you got this

the pro versions are always black

[mild gust]

[median wraith]

it says the black ones are for cameras and things taking a lot of energy

please dont do this in your games guys

[summer cedar]

No worries.

Not planning on allowing anything other than mouse and keyboard anyway. 😛

[pearl elk]

good luck with that, even the US military uses xbox gamepads

[summer cedar]

Luckily, I am not contracting for them. 😛

[pearl elk]

you'll only get reviews from about 0.1% of critics

[summer cedar]

sounds like a win-win. I only want their money.

They can keep their words. 😛

Do the gamepad buttons being numbered present a problem, anyway?

[pearl elk]

you know you need publicity to get money right?

yes it is a problem, I dont know which button 6 is...

[summer cedar]

I sold a book with zero marketing; granted just a few copies so far.

So... accidents happen.

[pearl elk]

my gamepad is laid out exactly like any other, L1+2, R1+2, 4 face buttons etc but I dont know which ones they are talking about when they call em by number then have an xbox gamepad on the screen with A, B, X, Y

if they showed me which ones I was pressing by number maybe their tutorial would work

I might just plugin a PS4 or Xbox controller instead

I mean even from the DOS days.

Even MOAR confusing shit.

[pearl elk]

lol see what I mean, why is there a 0 button

this is UE, it has the names for the buttons on the binds

Im just gonna grab the xbox controller

even though my steelseries is leagues better

MS Xinput is shit, I never liked it, never will

I do have a logitech one which has numbers on it but whats the bet those numbers dont match up to the ingame numbers

[summer cedar]

No bet. They probably won't match. Not matching them adds a puzzle element to your game almost effort-free.

[pearl elk]

if the timing was more lax it wouldnt be so bad

swapped to Xbox controller and they wonder why its the most used controller on Steam

but they could just do a thingo for facebuttons exactly like what they did for the dpad

ugggg worst dpad ever MS

almost as dangerous as weather balloons creating huricanes for the democrats

[summer cedar]

Oh yeah, those hurricanes. We should drop nukes in their centres to dissipate them.

[proud jay]

any of you guys do kettlebells?

[summer cedar]

Me, yes.

[proud jay]

which ones do you have?

I currently have a 16kg cast iron and looking to expand, but not sure if I should stick with cast iron or go for comp style bells

[summer cedar]

I have a 6KG ~~dumbbell ~~kettlebell that I use.

I don't think the material matters so much, actually. Just the form and action you use.

[proud jay]

but that's not kettlebell

[summer cedar]

oh, sorry. typo.

[proud jay]

that's the point though, the form is different between cast iron and comp style

comp style all have the same shape and size regardless of weight

but they have a smaller handle

which means they're mostly only used for 1 handed exercises though

[summer cedar]

Ah. I have the comp style one. I can squeeze my hands to use it 2-handed.

I also tied a rope to it and use the rope two-handed.

[proud jay]

how big are your hands

cause normally the window is 12,5 cm wide

but my hands are like almost 16 if I put them side to side lol

[summer cedar]

I haven't measured. Use a velcro strap/buckle set.

[mild gust]

Kettlebell gang

[summer cedar]

You can lift it that way.

Just don't swing the kettlebell into your balls.

[mild gust]

Return them from whence they came.

[proud jay]

without the handle?

that doesn't seem safe with higher weights

I'm leaning towards cast iron atm

[mild gust]

I wanted to get one of those adjustable kettlebells

That you just add weight as needed

[proud jay]

yeah but it's like 300 bucks

[mild gust]

Yeah

It's a future me problem

[proud jay]

I've considered it

[mild gust]

I'll get a barbell first

[proud jay]

the adjustable ones are also all comp style

I'm really torn on which to get lol

[mild gust]

Yeah

My thing is

It may be $300

But I should only ever need one

For my entire life

[proud jay]

or 2 if you wanna do doubles

[mild gust]

True

But still

It's an investment

In yourself

[proud jay]

for sure

I would want 2 just for the swapping as well tbh

so you can have lighter weight for overhead work compared to swings and squats

[summer cedar]

No. Use the velcro straps on the handle.

Or use a rope, if you have one.

Either way works.

[mild gust]

I got some rubber grips as needed for mine

[summer cedar]

Like this, but use a normal human rope.

[proud jay]

you have comp style?

[mild gust]

Na not yet

Soonish

[proud jay]

so you have cast iron?

which weights?

I have 16 atm, probably gonna add 20 and 24 now

then in the future if I keep going get a 32 and maybe a second 20

I wanted to get used to it first

Nvm I lied it's cast

[proud jay]

yea so you didn't lie

[mild gust]

Well I had said it's non-cast

Then deleted it

I bought it almost a year ago I forgot

@proud jay Apparently, Mein Farter is creating jobs by building prison camps.

[mild gust]

Starting early it seems

[summer cedar]

They are hopeful of creating 1,200+ jobs per camp or something.

And $10.7 million in income and sales taxes.

Sound economic policy, no?

[mild gust]

Sounds great

Make the prisoners work

As it should be

[summer cedar]

Only caveat is that that area doesn't have any such taxes.

[mild gust]

No free rides

[summer cedar]

So, they get to pocket all the money. 🤣

[mild gust]

Wonderful

I've been trying to farm a neutral property Crimson 2-handed Sword for hours, now.

So far, I got 12 swords and ALL of them had some kind of elemental property. 🙁

HOORAY!!!!! 👏💪 🎆 😍

FINALLY, on the fourteenth sword drop. 😅

Left-side is the sword I am using. Right-side is the new one I just got.

what language are those numbers?

is this persian?

[fair bridge]

Ugh i have no idea. An Italian friend sent it to me 😅

Maybe, could be Arabic too

[fair bridge]

Google lens said Arabic

[median wraith]

Are the same ones that block cloud flare and my web and so

Well they move a lot of money

Figure yourself

[proud jay]

who cares

how is that fair in any way

that's just stealing revenue from other companies

this is like telling people they can't drive on a road you're on cause you're afraid someone's gonna crash into your or something

if I were a big company affected by this I would sue them tbh

0% chance of that holding up in court

[median wraith]

That and the freedom of each individual

[median wraith]

Our roads are kind of fucked now, wait for it

But remember what they did in the COVID with us all

Meanwhile people working on hospitals were using Tinder to date randoms in the lock

[median wraith]

They are about do it

[proud jay]

there's more important things than helping people

like farming likes on tiktok

[median wraith]

Oh lord

Narcissistic people all over the place

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.

If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:

fund.godotengine.org

-# Adriaan (@adriaan.games)
Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

Cyber Assassin Demo.

Nice looking protagonist.

What? No corridor toll?

[summer cedar]

Is that Startron, son of Megatron?!

@mild gust Finally played Cyber Assassin's demo.

It's got promise. There could be a nice NiOh with Jedi Survivor combo there, with a lot of love and care.

Setting up my new laptop "youtube isn't working" spent like an hour troubleshooting

Good morning! 🌞 ☕

Found another super jump glitch in Schedule 1

[summer cedar]

Does it involve snorting coke off a seat like a certain health secretary?

[mild gust]

Nope you stand under the lip of any ledge then spam space bar walk out from under the ledge and you will go flying dependant on how many times you spammed space.

[summer cedar]

Well, that is one way of distributing your substances far and wide.

They could use AI to detect junk PRs 🤣

The dog was safely removed after unexpectedly running onto the course during the 2017 downhill ski championship 🐕⛷️ Mid race, it sprinted down the slope alongside the athletes, weaving between gates and prompting officials to briefly pause the event before escorting it off the track.
