It was nice to see comfy cotton wear again. ๐Ÿ™‚

Can't go wrong with cotton

However, the cheaper alternatives in the market aren't that great and Adidas' polyester stuff wasn't available anymore.

--- India-Iran Oil Deal: Taking advantage of a temporary one-month reprieve from US sanctions, Indian refiners have purchased oil from Iran. Most notably, this time, payments were made in the Chinese currency, the Yuan, instead of the dollar, marking a departure from previous years. As Indian refiners re-purchase oil from Iran, the method of payment is the most discussed issue in this entire transaction. ---

I'm sure they hired the right person to review it right there. Mr A . I. Randomshart. If that was a real person, they need to truly consider the words objective and review.

#

mr AI Randomshart

fathom wadi
#

I do honest reviews from the point of view as a fan if I'm going to. If I played a game there was something that got me to try it at least. If I was being paid to review, I'd at least break down why and what the game was going for at a minimum

#

Then I would conclude, 6/10. All games suck which I don't like.

soft night
#

blue origin new glenn rocket launch soon

fathom wadi
#

I don't even understand game ratings really. what is 6/10? Do 6 out of 10 people like it? That's an amazing return if so. Is there a computational algorithm that states this is how many fractions of a point you get for features, lack of bugs, good gameplay etc?
Or.... is it just an arbitrary number?
We should re-invent game reviews

#

i honestly don't follow mainstream reviewers. I like cynics and old school gamers who expect gameplay before parlour tricks.

#

It's always nice to watch Mortismal Gaming do his 100% run reviews. I skip around them to avoid spoilers but he's pretty good at not ruining the storyline or whatever

soft night
#

the review rating should be total score what come from section scores, like gameplay and so on

fathom wadi

yep. That's how some old school magazines used to do it back in the day

Hrm. Looking at my code from my farming project, looks like I switched to each crop being its own actor?? for each tile?

pearl elk
#

all the actors

tulip orbit
#

how bad could having about 2500 actors be for performance?

#

plus whatever else is on the map

pearl elk
#

just convert them to lightweight actors

tulip orbit
#

Well, used my debug, have I think 532 crops planted, a few in different stages, getting about 55fps, doing good....

#

eh?

#

googles

#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

pearl elk
#

probably best to do some sort of manager anyways

tulip orbit
#

Yeah not sure this would work, cause each crop actor holds the different stages of growth

pearl elk
#

yeah you'd batch em, people are gonna plant more than one crop at a time I bet

#

unless you really need the two carrots to pop up 0.021ms apart

tulip orbit
#

growth is stored in my main crop array, and even interaction is/can be controlled thru interacting with the field instead of the crop

pearl elk
#

lightweight actors might work for your usecase

#

Amazon Luna is pulling third-party game purchases, no refunds, no recourse. This is what the future of cloud gaming actually looks like.

#

Stop killing games never looked so good.

mild gust
#

Goes to show how little people know it exists.

summer cedar
#

I have Prime Gaming with my Prime membership, but have never used it, since their catalogue of games was poor the last time I checked.

pearl elk
#

Luna is a streaming service

#

Like GeForce Now

summer cedar
#

Oh. I see.
Yeah, never heard of it.

mild gust
#

You would have lost all your games on it

summer cedar
#

I don't know how it worked though.

#

It's different with GeForce NOW, for example.

mild gust
#

You buy games they stream it to you

summer cedar
#

There, you need to own the game on a platform like Steam.

mild gust
#

You can also sub to games

summer cedar
#

So, even if GeForec NOW goes away, you still have the games.

mild gust
#

Yea no

#

Luna not like that

summer cedar
#

I am not sure if that's how Luna works.

mild gust
#

Luna sell stuff to you

#

Luna bad

summer cedar
#

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Never heard of it. ๐Ÿคฃ

mild gust
#

It's amazon what do you expect

summer cedar
#

Prime Gaming was more like Game Pass.

#

They had a library of games and you picked the one to play.

#

They did NOT have any purchases though.

mild gust
#

Anything to Jeff Bezos to make more billions

summer cedar
#

That being said, Prime Gaming never got any interesting titles as far as I know.

mild gust
#

IIRC Prime gaming became Luna

summer cedar
#

They never marketed themselves either.

mild gust
summer cedar
#

You're right.

#

They never bothered to send me an email.

mild gust
#

and now both are dead

summer cedar
#

No wonder I didn't know.

mild gust
#

Good times

summer cedar
#

I don't know if it's dead. I can still access the site.

mild gust
#

Luna is going to be discontinued

pearl elk
#

can I get luna on tick

mild gust
#

Making it so you can't buy anything

pearl elk
#

they need those GPUs for AI I bet

mild gust
#

You may as well not even run it

#

For starters, individual game purchases are no longer available on Amazon Luna. Any titles purchased directly from the platform will cease to work on June 10 of this year, effectively leaving the platform altogether. Users aren't eligible for refunds.

#

In addition, Amazon is also removing access to external game stores and third-party subscriptions. This includes the EA, GOG, and Ubisoft stores. Subscriptions such as Jackbox Games and Ubisoft+ are also being discontinued.

#

Hilarious

#

Scam company scams

summer cedar
#

--- While those third-party games will no longer be available for direct purchase, they aren't disappearing from the platform entirely. Many will instead be available to stream for subscribers of Luna Premium, which offers users access to a library of streamable third-party titles like EA FC 26, Madden, Fallout, Death Stranding, and more for an additional monthly fee. ---

#

No, they are putting the streaming thing behind a premium pass.

#

It's confusing.

mild gust
#

Sir, Any titles purchased directly from the platform will cease to work on June 10 of this year, effectively leaving the platform altogether.

summer cedar
#

Also, other sites I am reading say only the third-party purchases are discontinued.

mild gust
#

Yeah

#

They want you to sub only

#

Which basically means they scammed you

#

If you bought anything at any point.

pearl elk
#

Stadia was far worse but atleast they did refunds as far as I remember

mild gust
#

You think Jeff can afford refunds

#

He could barely afford his lavish wedding.

summer cedar
#

I don't think that's quite right. I am reading PCMag after PCGamer and both say that you can't access the games on Luna, but you can access them off of whichever platform you purchased them.

pearl elk
#

not after his divorce he cant

summer cedar
#

So, if you bought a license on UbiConnect, it's still there.

#

And yes, direct purchases from Luna itself are non-refundable.

mild gust
#

Your SOL

summer cedar
#

--- For those who want a larger catalog of games, the company debuted Luna Premium, a $9.99-per-month service that replaced the $5.99-per-month Luna+. ---

#

Ah....

#

So, monthly sub.

pearl elk
#

just remember, Steam takes all your games and doesnt give you a refund... when you die

summer cedar
#

Well, they can't defeat Game Pass, so......

#

I am not worried about refunds if those purchases are more than 1 week old, honestly.

#

But, if it was like 24 hours ago and your refund was refused, that's bad.

#

--- Netflix, which has also been focused on game streaming but without individual purchases or third-party stores. ---

#

Netflix has game streaming?

mild gust
#

Bring back physical games

#

So I can actually own what I buy..

pearl elk
#

you dont even own the pants youre not wearing

mild gust
#

I can still today put an xbox original game into my console and it works

#

So I beg to differ.

lavish tendon
summer cedar
mild gust
#

What is this China

summer cedar
#

Because the T&C of the game already has a 'uninstall and remove all copies of the game from your device, when its life ends' clause.

#

The only reason you still 'own' the game is because the company isn't bothered to come to your house, and enforce it.

summer cedar
#

Basically, they are insulting you by saying, "You aren't worth our time."

mild gust
#

Hardly

#

Lol

summer cedar
#

I'd argue that's worse. We should be daring them to come to our houses and uninstall the games.

mild gust
#

They should just get used to us wanting to have what we buy.

#

Right to repair is slowly becoming more of a thing.

#

John Deere agreed to a $99 million settlement and must provide diagnostic and repair software to farmers and independent repair shops for 10 years, effectively ending the forced reliance on authorized dealers for these services.

summer cedar
#

Yes, but those electronics don't have such clauses in their T&C.

mild gust
#

They were forced to do that.

summer cedar
#

Game companies should definitely be forced to change that clause.

mild gust
#

Right to repair is much like SKG

#

Both are something that should have been done ages ago

summer cedar
#

I think RtR came about more because of a growing concern about electronic waste in countries.

#

Especially, UNNECESSARY waste.

mild gust
#

As it should

#

Why build something new when the previous thing works.

#

Let the billionares do that

summer cedar
#

To make money. But yes, it was necessary.
Sadly, I don't see any such factors with games.

mild gust
#

Sadly most people don't understand the SKG movement

#

The main thing we want is these ass hats to just give us a end of life date.

summer cedar

UNLESS we connect video games to political consequences.

What was that movie?

umm... EA Sports FC is also deterring kids from exercising. As is many of other games. There is an infinite list of things that do. But a sign that says No Ball Games is generally seen near people's homes where there are lots of windows. Maybe an estate where old or sick people are cared for. And believe me when I say it never stops the kids who want to play ball games there. Didn't in my day, it wouldn't now.

#

I remember one time, after school, a few of us when to this little green area the size of an indoor 5 a side football pitch. But it had one of these signs. I booted the ball pretty hard and it flew into the road, hit a car windshield. The car screeched to a stop and this absolute yeti looking maniac stomped over to us and shouted "Who TF threw that ball?". Everyone froze. I said "Sorry it was me it was an accident". He then proceeded to beat the crap out of me in front of everyone. Happy days ๐Ÿ™‚

A massive fire broke out at a factory building in the College Point neighborhood of Queens, New York on Friday night. Crews from the New York Fire Department spent hours battling the intense blaze, which sent thick black smoke billowing into the sky and prompted officials to advise nearby residents to close their windows.

They literally just opened up the market to more criminals who will flood the UK with their factory sweep up fake cigarettes. Meanwhile cutting off their own tax revenue for about ยฃ8billion/y. Now a lot of that is offset in NHS costs to keep the lungers alive longer, but it's still a loss.
The question really is, will it do better for public health by banning it so in 2 generations there will be a fractional amount of people smoking? I think there is validity in that argument. It's not even a question of the right to smoke when you will still have the ability to smoke illegally.

#

yeah they are going about it the right way in that it's a born after decision.

#

It never stopped me at 13 years old picking up the habit tho. My kids seem to have no interest in it tho

I suppose the short time they did see me smoking, it was always me standing outside, usually in the cold, as I will not smoke around kids so put myself out of sight and smell. But I quit after 30 years.

Quick Q: making a farming game, the tools just interact with the crop field actor. When a tool interacts with the field, would you put the logic in the BP or the crop field c++ class? Right now for example, I use the Hoe, it traces to a spot on the field and calls HoeField(this spot).

fleet tangle
#

I'd split it. Have the hoe decide how the hoe works, then let the field decide what to do when it is used by a tool (like a hoe). Pass the hoe to the field so it can respond.

#

You can have some logic on both sides. If you hoe something and you want your super hoe to do something funky, you can respond somehow there too.

tulip orbit
#

The hoeField function on the field is just checking if the tile is farmable, clear, basically able to be hoed, then sets it and updates the visuals

#

Always feel like my c++ classes are getting busy and messy, but its probably just my lack of coding style/org

lavish tendon
#

The more logic every "duplicable" actor has the worse performance you're going to get as ue has to tick each actor one by one

fleet tangle
#

Just because you have a class, like a hoe, that does 7 things, they don't all have to live inside that one class. You can delegate to components that provide reusable code for other tools, use subclasses to keep interfaces (not actual interfaces, just apis) clean.

tulip orbit
#

Yeah. I only have like... 5 tools, so its not much. But if could be cleaner than how I have it right now.

But its not ....terrible...

Pretty much. The support staff isn't even Indian, and I'd have got better support from one of those at least.

Now, I have to make sure I am not penalised for that missed lesson.

fleet tangle
#

That's something, you know. You get Indian call centres in India, right? They don't, for some reason, get outsourced somewhere else?

summer cedar
#

Mostly no. Indian support centres are staffed by Indians and for some reason, foreign AI-voiced systems.

fleet tangle
#

Haha

#

So I guess they do outsource it somewhere else ๐Ÿ˜›

summer cedar
#

No, no. The AI is based in India, but uses a foreign voice.

#

I've never understood why.

fleet tangle
#

Maybe just nobody has trained one on an Indian accent before?

summer cedar
#

There are 12 Indian accents available on the market, almost for free.

#

Sarvam AI has offered them for six months now, I think.

fleet tangle
#

Or the accents vary a lot and choosing a regional one might annoy some people? Idk. I don't know much about regional accents outside of the UK.

fleet tangle
summer cedar
#

Thing is, I am pretty sure most Indians would get annoyed listening to a foreign accent, since they have to strain themselves (like, actually make an effort) to understand what's being said.

Many Indians ask me if I am Canadian once they listen to me speak English. I understand immediately that they dislike making an effort to understand me. ๐Ÿ˜›

I consider all this moot-work. First, it's only optimised versions of what we have now, with perhaps a different injection point of compilation of shaders. Something we can already determine at the will of the developer essentially anyhow (but obviously not the ideal of real-time). Second, just because the tools are there doesn't mean developers will use them. This is the real issue with shader stuttering from the game's side. Bad optimisation and pre-caching. It's actually been an issue since forever, but as the internet echo chambers got louder after COVID, all the blame started to shift towards UE5. Which happened to be the one pushing streaming textures and geometry as a core feature.
I believe the ultimate solution is to solve the realtime issue and you know where that is leading to. The dreaded AI implementation. Of which we are most certainly many years if not decades away from having any viability and cannot be used now. So is the answer to keep optimising the tech which people seem to avoid using? It only serves the purpose of helping those that do use the tech properly, so the answer is yes but it won't stop the issue.

yeah it was a horrible thing that they had to say it out loud. It sounded patronising, but often it has to be in order to shake up the industry.

Yay! I finally got my bank to correct my business' e-mail address, which had been erroneously recorded in 2019. I have been bothering them about it for ages, but they always had some idiotic excuse for disregarding my requests. Now, they made the entire process digital, so I don't have to talk to ugh.... people.

E-mail corrected in 24 hours. ๐Ÿ™‚

my bank has the same thing. It's still on an address I lived at 14 years ago. I've moved twice since. I've updated it each time. Each time it's not changed in my online banking ๐Ÿ˜„ It doesn't stop me spending my money at a rate faster than God made light, so I dunno
