Okay so this is the first year I have to pass the car revision

And the police just did a raid today to the center

https://tenor.com/view/el-risitas-juan-joya-borja-ratones-coloraos-laugh-meme-laughing-man-gif-24899295

[summer cedar]

Are you under arrest?

Are you posting from a dank, damp jail cell surrounded by drunkards?

[median wraith]

No they arrested the dudes in the center

[proud jay]

he is the drunkard

[median wraith]

For passing some vehicles and getting paid in black

[summer cedar]

Good. Did they replace the arrested dudes with some unemployed dudes, so that unrevised car dudes like yourself can get revised?

[median wraith]

Idk yet

They arrested about 10

That must be almost empty now xD

[summer cedar]

Find the peon or serving boy in there and have him stamp your papers then.

[pearl elk]

still cant get a date 😹

[median wraith]

But did the call yesterday actually

[median wraith]

I did one for clients before of that in a different way

But the branch on GitHub should be working

Something I don't get it's why the fak Epic don't add it as default

But then adds a car painting shader

[pearl elk]

With all the talk about the UE-look lately I thought I would see what I can do with shader mods myself

Ive been wanting to have a go at a better AO for ages

[summer cedar]

When I started watching a video about Crimson Desert and saw the gameplay, I finally realised why it looked and sounded familiar.

It's from the same people who made Black Desert Online, Pearl Abyss.

[pearl elk]

its Breath of the Wild with DLSS5 on 😛

[summer cedar]

Not even remotely close, sadly. 😛
I bet Breath of the WIld is fun-ner.

This is basically a MSPRPG.

Black Desert in single-player form.

It might actually linger a long, long time with a good community.

[pearl elk]

so the next one will be Ginger Desert?

[summer cedar]

You might not be far off.

Could also by Bushy Desert.

Outback Desert.

I like TheRadBrad's Crimson Desert gameplay.

The problem will be its size. I hope the content doesn't become generic as you move through the map.

That bloody map is huge and you see it when flying.

Yes, the game has flying.

[pearl elk]

Yeah if you dont need the skinning then its not worth having it in the struct

you could also bin the precision based on distance like you were doing so do half precision off in the distance and full up close

but then youre copying things around and it might be slower

Follow a black cat through a haunted hillside area from a fort that you liberated from the hands of bandits.

If you choose to go with unarmed combat, you can become Liu Kang and dragon kick everyone.

hey that might actually work for contributing to the painterly look

I'll combine it with some voronoi and some splotchy and it'll be all good

[summer cedar]

SM6 only?

Pearl Abyss is offering refunds though, if you have an Arc and purchased the game.

They are Arcists then.

Did you buy the game though?

[pearl elk]

they probably just never tried to run their engine on Intel

[summer cedar]

Doubt that. Someone on Reddit said that the developer had mentioned this in an interview before.

But, they had never pasted it in the product description and stuff.

So, they knew beforehand.

Some new learnings today.
The MDA and CGA are the oldest graphics adapters. From IBM in 1981.

The things you learn during game dev. 😄

[pearl elk]

I played on CGA, Alley Cat

[summer cedar]

Yep. I remember that.

There was also some kind of piggy game, where you smacked spacebar.

I broke three spacebar keys that way, at the age of 5.

[pearl elk]

Commodore 64 had more colours than those crappy IBMs lol

[summer cedar]

That was in 1982, yes.

Error occurred on GPUID: 100

Era One caused a GPU crash.

Eeep, I lost one teaching session. 🙁 😓

[mild gust]

[summer cedar]

I am oddly quite calm about it.

Utterly unexpected though. This has never happened before.

[mild gust]

I blame nvidia

[summer cedar]

I think Era One is at fault.

And yes, NVidia.

Game was updated today and properly put more stress on resources.

[mild gust]

So your teaching session app is gpu accelerated?

[summer cedar]

In Google Chrome, yes.

Uh.... lemme see.

[mild gust]

Ah makes sense

[summer cedar]

Yes. GPU accelerated.

But, usually, when the drivers crash, they recover almost immediately after a black screen.

This is the first time Windows froze entirely.

Something in the Era One update whacked the drivers.

[mild gust]

https://tenor.com/view/space-force-microsoft-microsoft-update-update-fuck-gif-24955862

[summer cedar]

Yeah, it's NVidia's fault I guess.

Latest Studio Drivers fix this.

[summer cedar]

😭

[mild gust]

Ofc it's DRM related to

[summer cedar]

I blame you.

[mild gust]

Should have played starfield

[summer cedar]

Why didn't you tell me DRM related content playing in multiple windows can cause crashes?

😄

Actually, I think it's because Era One is resource intensive too.

[mild gust]

Idk news to me

[summer cedar]

And unoptimised.

[mild gust]

I blame vibe coded drivers.

[summer cedar]

I had moved the ship near an enemy starbase and entered an asteroid field.

It's possible I triggered a set of circumstances where the drivers couldn't handle the resource needs.

I am installing the studio drivers.

le sigh

[mild gust]

Sounds like you planned this

[mild gust]

Only drivers I use

[summer cedar]

I'll say destiny handled it.

[mild gust]

[summer cedar]

Perhaps the student was terrible.

Perhaps the experience would've been bad.

Perhaps this was divinity's way of giving me relief.

[mild gust]

Maybe they were a bigly supporter

[summer cedar]

👀 That was the fastest studio driver installation ever.

Let me break the driver and reset.

Done. Fast recovery.

[summer cedar]

The fact that NVidia still supports and updates its drivers for Total War: Three Kingdoms, just goes to show how popular that game is.

The app can't handle it and 'forgets' the presence of the GPU.

oh boy, Im down a rabbit hole...

https://tenor.com/view/math-thinking-zach-galifianakis-formulas-numbers-gif-7715569

lets put it this way, if youre not doing RT what do you think you could use that idle part of hardware for?

because raster would be so much slower if accelerated by ML hardware right 😹

its not even like that sort of hardware is rare, in weaker systems its not worth trying to use it for RT

[mild gust]

When ray tracing is not active, RT cores remain idle and cannot be repurposed for other general computing tasks.

Unless you are to maybe use it for collision?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74772012/can-you-use-gpu-raytracing-cores-for-collision-detection

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.14801v1

[pearl elk]

thats just one part of the hardware the RT core, the older part is the Tensor core which is also very useful

[mild gust]

Sure

But you could still use it all no?

Spread the load

[pearl elk]

it does depend on vendor specifics thats Nvidia, others call it an NPU

[pearl elk]

Could just be an interesting path, rather than having a RT implementation that looks and runs like complete ass on lower end hardware there could be a more traditional raster path then an ML hardware accelerated version. Still not as physically accurate as RT but the end result would be closer between the hardware and vendors

The replies to that comment are to blame here.

They don't understand the current speech patterns.

"I hate UE" = "I hate this game. I sucked at this game. It's not fun for me. Screw this game."

"I hate AI" = "I hate this game. I sucked at this game. It's not fun for me. Screw this game."

"I hate NVidia" = "I hate this game. I sucked at this game. It's not fun for me. Screw this game." AND, "I am too poor to afford a new PC. Screw inflation and corpos."

4x strategy games simulating planet attacks are a bit funny.

[unborn lotus]

i don't like how clean their textures look, especially stone

lots of geo details but no wear and tear

[summer cedar]

I would download a mod to make the lighting softer. Other than that, it's basically Black Desert in single-player.

good luck making models

it's also abysmal in performance

I wanted to use this to make the google deepmind dog hallucination

[pearl elk]

I should be able to make a model, Im not trying to replace a whole frame with generated content

[summer cedar]

Aloha!

How are you?

[mild gust]

Well then.

I suppose it could be useful for things like psychedelic effects. If maybe done right.

Found this one too https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/neural-post-processing-in-unreal-engine

[pearl elk]

It seems to be a good example of implementing shader mods in a plugin too, Im not sure alot of people realise its possible

I need the plugin one so I have more control over where in the pipeline I can run things, its still limited apparently but theres more injection points versus doing it all in Editor

[mild gust]

There was that one PP epic released like a sketch overlay could probably do something similar with that. Wonder how much more efficient it is vs regular post process.

[pearl elk]

entirely depends on the hardware, newer hardware even lower end has more ML support

Arc Battlemage for example would outperform RDNA2 even the highest end

[lavish tendon]

it does not support crimson desert

[pearl elk]

I have no idea if that engine supports any neural rendering features

unfortunately we're going to have RDNA2 holding us back for a year or two longer

[lavish tendon]

i mean that even if arc is better than rdna 2 it does not work with crimson desert

RDNA 2 is allright what is holding us back is economics

[pearl elk]

I love my 6900XT but its pretty shit

[lavish tendon]

yeah i kinda miss 8k video

[mild gust]

Rip those devs

[pearl elk]

custom engine is going to be fun for future support

doesnt even run on current Intel, imagine future cards

you should add Jensen generative filtering and then youre ahead of the curve

also... Ive been calling it XESS then I heard someone call it excess 😲

zombies with beauty filters

samosaa

but you dont have XeGTAO

https://github.com/GameTechDev/XeGTAO

[mild gust]

You mean cpc?

[pearl elk]

Epic actually have quite alot in their shader code which isnt used in all paths

well atm theres two entire paths with Substrate and the old material model

you look through it though and its basically the whos who of algorithms each listing the paper theyre from lol

I think Im going to need a test scene to compare settings against, I should start by tweaking whats already there before I start ripping it apart 😛

I feel like lumen might win but also lose

and what do I use as a baseline, do I trust the path tracer? I doubt it knows what the most visually pleasing outcome is

yeah this will be automated testing so it'll all be kinda offline

nope, I havent even decided on lighting yet 😹

[mild gust]

Rumour has it sky creator dev is working on a GI solution 😛

[pearl elk]

I need something that works for chiaroscuro so I dont think lumen wins this

[summer cedar]

1984 Dune has a few really touching scenes.

Given the cinematography of the time, it's amazing how the director pulled it off.

[mild gust]

Lots of puppets?

"Minis"

[summer cedar]

No, with real people. The puppets are the worms and well, nothing special there.

[pearl elk]

yeah thats always an option, its not that difficult to automate it when baking textures

my main concern there is with texture reuse

[summer cedar]

I think I like the mad Feyd from 1984 better than the remakes.

[mild gust]

Think of lighting like the darth vader giant isopod, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathynomus_vaderi

Just go deeper

[summer cedar]

One of the interesting differences between these films is how less religious they have become over the years.

The 1984 Dune ended with a god complex.

The Sci-Fi one was less so, but it had a miracle of rain in it.

The modern one, nothing. Full of politics justifying planted religious beliefs.

[pearl elk]

its mainly the scaling of the strokes to keep them consistent across, doesnt have to be perfect as I was abit of a hand made look but I just dont want it to be as rough as those early Borderlands games 😛

[mild gust]

Seems on par with culture

[summer cedar]

I hope someone remasters the 1980s Dune game.

Someone was trying that at some point and stopped, I believe.

It falls apart towards the end, but the beginnings are not ad.

Oh damn.

TheRadBrad sliding off a waterfall with his horse was hilarious.

But, I seriously doubt him saying this could be GOTY though.

I haven't seen anything 'memorable' like in Elden Ring.

[mild gust]

Yeah I can't see it it's more a hodgepodge of ideas it seems.

I've heard it runs well though

So I'll likely eventually get it just to study it a bit

[summer cedar]

I don't know how mods will make it better though, apart from my idea of making the lighting softer.

With mods, it could be Skyrim/Witcher-ish.

[mild gust]

Well it's single player so skies the limit I guess

But it's a proprietary engine so maybe a while till we get it.

[summer cedar]

If it's the same engine that made Black Desert, we might get mods sooner than later.

It's been around for a long time in that case, after all.

[mild gust]

Lol

I guess I never modded bdo

I never knew about it's lewd history.

[summer cedar]

It's had character and reshade mods, yes.

Then again, BD does a good job of providing character customisation as far as b00bies are concerned.

I'm fine with that when it makes sense as a sentence. But they even break up and reduce the text in those long things so sometimes you think "what?"

is it not better to have a define than a namespace when you need it to be discoverable before class entry?

it only uses satellite for part of the trip

no. I just wanted to know if they were willing to go to space

They haven't told us how their 10 patients are doing.

Not a peep.

[pearl elk]

I think they just add people off the pwned list

[mild gust]

Someone maybe made one for you

Lol

[fleet tangle]

It's because they've gone back in time to find John Connor.

[summer cedar]

Lies. They've gone back in time to find the Drumpfs.

China is next boyz

[summer cedar]

I think the problem was 'starts' jumping.

jumps might've been better.

and 'high' would've also helped.

[summer cedar]

Dow is indeed up.

Trump delayed his 'obliteration' strikes.

🤣

[mild gust]

Nice

[pearl elk]

imaginary money disappeared?

[mild gust]

All money is imaginary?

But sure

[summer cedar]

No worries. Mein Farter will discover a new tactic to obliterate his enemies.

He is after all a master of the Art of the Bar.... er, I mean War.

[mild gust]

We are still basically just utilizing a trading system of sorts.

[pearl elk]

those arnt liquid assets

[mild gust]

Of course they aren't

[pearl elk]

if you were talking commodities its abit different to stock

Heroes!

Self-heroes.

But, you get the point.

[mild gust]

Now they won't become soup

[summer cedar]

were headed for a dog meat shop

[mild gust]

Run dog meat run!

[mild gust]

Yeah you ever had dog soup?

[summer cedar]

You dare ask this of the civilised?

[pearl elk]

would you give a man a foot massage?

[mild gust]

Hey man, if a pets on it's last moments honour it by eating it

[summer cedar]

Mein Farter says he had productive talks with Iran.

Translation: Iran's kicking arse and he's embarrassed, and scared of impeachment after November.

[mild gust]

Are they though? 😂

[pearl elk]

why would the worlds greatest military talk to anyone

[mild gust]

Seems more like they have been doing less and less daily

and losing more and more people all the time

Compared to the US

[summer cedar]

Israel reported 400 missiles fired at them yesterday.

[mild gust]

But 🤷

[summer cedar]

Way more than before.

[mild gust]

And how many hit?

Lol

Probably next to none

[summer cedar]

No idea. Israel's smoking over there.

[pearl elk]

yeah but 400 missiles cost what versus 400 drones?

[summer cedar]

The damage is widespread from reports in residential areas.

[summer cedar]

$2 mil a piece vs $25,000-ish a piece.

[mild gust]

Depending

[pearl elk]

I think if we look at the economics the Iranians are def winning

[mild gust]

Some missiles cost as low as $8,100

C-RAM (Counter-Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar): Costs approximately $8,100 per unit, used for point defense against incoming projectiles.

[pearl elk]

you can have the greatest military in the world but if it costs you trillions to fly your fancy planes and move your big ass boats

[mild gust]

So cheaper than a drone

[summer cedar]

Speaking of fancy planes, F-35 hit acknowledged.

[mild gust]

Oh no they hit an older plane

[summer cedar]

Wasn't that an achievement for the ages, given how much M00rica prattles about it.

[mild gust]

Like to see them hit a B-21 Raider

[pearl elk]

its only radar and thermal stealth, can still see it

its not fucking invisible 😹

[mild gust]

Sure it is

[summer cedar]

Of course. But the US loves to thump their chest about their hardware.

[mild gust]

Cover it in epstein files

[pearl elk]

F-35 engine is loud as hell

you can hear it ages before you see it

[summer cedar]

Even their patriot missile system's effectiveness has come down.

Shouldn't have fired all those expert techs.

[mild gust]

Dw they will just abduct them from other countries as needed

Like after WW2

[summer cedar]

Who knew supremacy takes continuous effort?

[mild gust]

Muslims

[summer cedar]

Doubt it. That was just force of habit.

Not logical choices.

[mild gust]

They do that part right usually 😂

They tend to submit to their god so 🤷

[pearl elk]

god of oil supply

[mild gust]

and cheap sex

--- “We’re now having some really good discussions. They started last night, a little bit, the night before that,” he said.

“They want peace. They’ve agreed they will not have a nuclear weapon.” ---

[pearl elk]

isnt that the direction we all face when we pray?

[summer cedar]

The musings of Mein Farter.

[mild gust]

I face the ground when I pray

[summer cedar]

I wonder if he's talking to people in his dreams or something.

[pearl elk]

and the US has agreed to have all the nuclear weapon

[summer cedar]

He saw a beareded dude in his sleep.

"Chuck, do you want peace?"

"Am I great Chuck?"

"Okay.... I obliterated."

Next day, announce peace at press conference.

[pearl elk]

chuck killed satan so we all go to heaven

[mild gust]

This all makes sense

Chuck Norris ended the war

[summer cedar]

--- Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it has launched its 77th wave of strikes targeting Israel and US military bases in the Middle East. ---

Yep, obliterated.

Somehow, they still have missiles.

I think that word doesn't mean that Farter thinks it does.

[pearl elk]

Chuck Norris was the only true WMD

[mild gust]

They act like it did anything?

Lmao

Besides make them look worse

[summer cedar]

Exploding buildings are a thing.

[mild gust]

Maybe they can go bomb UAE some more

[summer cedar]

If it didn't kill anyone, all the better.

[pearl elk]

what if all the attacks were just friendly fire cuz some guy in the US destroyer was drunk

[summer cedar]

That IS the responsible thing to do btw. Make sure the civilians evacuate before you bomb it.

[mild gust]

or better yet they can bomb Diego Garcia again

[summer cedar]

Happened with those 3 F-15s.

[mild gust]

Which proves they can bomb Europe when ever they want

[summer cedar]

But Sir, they are obliterated.

[mild gust]

Why is no one talking about how Iran bombed Diego Garcia 😛

[summer cedar]

I did already.

[mild gust]

Further than EU

[summer cedar]

Your attention span has been reduced by Tiktok. 😛

[mild gust]

I may have missed it 😛

[summer cedar]

It has been OBLITERATED!

[mild gust]

I do sleep sometimes

[pearl elk]

I cant wait for it all to be over and for Trump to blame Canada

[summer cedar]

I think Canada has already been....

...wait for it....

OBLITERATED!!!!
