@plucky pagoda yeah with kids back in school we pretty much attribute it to that and the normal cold season. hope yours get better soon as well
plucky pagoda
Thanks. We homeschool and I'm thinking about canceling some of our stuff going on for a bit just to see how bad it is.
quiet narwhal
pretty much everyone here is in good health so we are just going to trudge thru it. If it happens it happens, it should just be a real shitty cold in the end hopefully. We have all had them bad before
but I mean you can't just skip out on life I got shit to do lol

Like my 16 year old has a meeting with one of his tutors tommorow and I'm thinking about just having him do it through skype
quiet narwhal
yeah if you can remote stuff no harm no foul
but like 3 of my kids have school and can't do that, you can't even pull them out if you wanted due to laws and them fining you for them missing school
plucky pagoda
Yeah, too many homeschoolers are anti-vac or think chicken pox is good for you so they want to share the wealth. We tend to pull back from the community whenever anything is going around even without it being something like covid19

Hey, I started going through the learning stuff on the UE site today. Nice job on those. I've been going through even the intro ones and picked up a few things here and there I didn't know, like the dynamic collections feature
pearl elk
Its one thing I think UE4 could be better at is messaging what its capabilities are to the user. Theres alot there kinda tucked under the rug and when you lift it up its like wow look at all this
plucky pagoda
There's just a lot. There's always going to be something else to know or find.
pearl elk
UE4 has the benefit of not being as complex on the surface as most DCCs so I hope Epic try to bring some of it forward so theres abit less digging.
rich quiver
there a lot of plug ins without a wiki page
pearl elk
Issue with UI changes this far along is you obsolete so much learning material so I think thats been holding things back alittle bit.

yes, but by making a recruitment page in catalan, you are locking it to about 1 million people, of whom very few are programmers.

but if you are already efficient in another language you can use it will feel odd
sage ermine
otherwise it wouldnt be so popular
quiet narwhal
I just really like being able to visualize what I am doing. I know you can do that with text stuff but sometimes you get all crazy and start nesting crap 10 levels deep and it just gets confusing. Its "more" for Blueprints but seeing it can make it easier
fathom wadi
Well... this just broke everything.
quiet narwhal
I mean I know when I do C# I try and make it as tight as possible with terniaries and nesting calls in eachother
but with BP I just get to play around and see what happens lol
Let the designers play with BP, get a system working like they want it then hand it off to a pro to optimize it and make it work properly ๐

that is 4.25?

good change
quiet narwhal
it's in .25 now
late night
time to rewrite linter
alpine fern
u mean time for 10 seconds of find/replace
late night
is it purely a drop in replacement?
late night
Do you know if theres a preprocessor define for this change so I can gate code between versions
fathom wadi
it kinda makes sense being that they are essentially structs + handles right? What would be the reason you think?
alpine fern
removing a few thousand pointless objects from the gc and reducing memory usage
fathom wadi
cool
alpine fern
isn't there a define for the engine version
alpine fern
lots of good stuff in 4.25
sage ermine
yah?
quiet narwhal
the best stuff is the fact that many many tutorials are now out of date and have to be redone
sage ermine
isn't that normal?
quiet narwhal
nah, not much on the core end gets change this drastically. Complete update to the animation timelines and montage setup isnt normal
the modes panel being changed to a menu bar item isnt normal
sage ermine
!!!
quiet narwhal
changes to the new project, content, and packs stuff isnt normal but barely anyone uses them so no biggie there lol
late night

quiet narwhal
at this point who knows. I do know that the templates were supposed to get updated for like 2 versions now and I can't do some planned work until that is done ๐ฆ

I heard it 2010 when first videos showed up. It's 2020 and they still exist. Whatever business model they have, it works. Maybe they make money from YouTube monetization ๐
median wraith
The detail is so infinite we can't even see it in the current time space
sage ermine
they've diverted into visualisation
you know, after claiming they were going to make the rest of the gaming industry irrelevant
so now they're basically a point cloud viewer
zinc matrix
It is irrelevant for them, since they are not in it
alpine fern
was that unity video they posted recently some kind of elaborate prank?
sage ermine
link?
median wraith
Oh yeah the video someone posted yesterday

But isn't the same channel

By unlimited detail we mean less quality than azure at the flying simulator

It's like extracted directly from earth

ooh look, a dude working on a dragon in zbrush
that should be relevant for the engineering cliental we're targeting now

why are they showing off their stuff at 5 fps sometimes
is the bar really that low?

5fps to show you each and every frame... ๐

What was the size of the new ms flying game levels?

@red basin the five games I want to create/finish before I kick the bucket :p
red basin
Specific games or you just want a 5 game legacy Luos lol
deep glen
basically 4-ish rpg's and a shmup with so much vfx that all shmup players complain about them being in the way :p
red basin
Lol
alpine fern
the entire screen is just explosions
sage ermine
I've settled on a mass effect clone, with a bit of FTL thrown in
median wraith
I like that Luos, the VFX always take all the FPS ๐

I want to control the explosions
sage ermine
just cause elebenty hundred

If I had to pick one myself, it would be an sandbox MMO with a return to social and community emphasis.... think SWG before everyone had their own spaceships.
But only because money is no issue and I can hire a small army to make it happen ;p

@alpine fern great idea for telltale
verbal junco
I think I'm past the idea of an mmo beyond a simple chat system like this
just give me a reaaaaaaaaaally good single player experience
alpine fern
we're already playing the largest mmo ever made
verbal junco
I'll top it off as well: make it linear
verbal junco
where's the bullet hell???
deep glen
wouldve been a monster-hell instead
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYT_YCABQ4I udk version before moving to ue4
verbal junco
but with bullets you could show off so much more vfx though
deep glen
some enemies would obviously have projectiles
but I personally never liked playing bullethells, and I have played hundreds of shmups
alpine fern
so obviously we need one of these in VR where you actually pilot the ship

When you register to vote it puts you in the pool for jury duty
plucky pagoda
Some places, they also use drivers licenses, tax payers, etc... depending on the state or locality.

I don't think I have ever met a person who has ever had jury duty...
plucky pagoda
I've been selected every year for the past 3. Each time though it was canceled the day before the trial.
signal citrus
Itโs soul losing
plucky pagoda
Never selected before that in 22 years of being eligible.
signal citrus
That sounds horrible
plucky pagoda
Not really, didn't have to go in. Just fill out the questionare and then call the day before you're supposed to report. Having to go would have sucked.
signal citrus
Iโve had it once
Ah yeah, here you sit in a room of other potential jurors for hours on end
And they might need you or not
plucky pagoda
Oh that would suck,
That can happen here too, but from what little I've seen they weed it out before hand
signal citrus
Then when they need you you go through a selection process that involves getting all your believes down in public record so they can select you or not
And if they donโt select you, back to the pool
plucky pagoda
Somethings weird with the selection in this county. I shouldn't have recieved notice as often as I have, it defies probability.
signal citrus
If they do select you then you may have to stay past the week you have to be in the pool
Yeah
Once served your not supposed to be selected for some time after

If I get selected again I'm going to try and get recused or whatever the word is

whats sketchfap
cursive crypt
Is that a music show? ๐ค
cursive crypt
"neurofunk" never heard of that style before
Will see. I imagine it a bit like chiptune ๐
pearl elk
You woulda heard of Ed Rush and Optical
cursive crypt
Ed Rush was some dnb?
pearl elk
it started evolving into neuro ๐
cursive crypt
Ah, this becomes more interesting then. Let see.
pearl elk
Yeah theyve all done it BSE, Noisia, Phace, Spor, The Clamps, The Upbeats
not all their music is neuro
cursive crypt
You throw in some memories here ๐
pearl elk
Ive wanted to see Teddy Killerz for awhile now, Im really hoping I can see Zombie Cats too
cursive crypt
Hmm... have to recheck the others. So far that one you send reminds me of some modern two step industrial variant.
Not a big undertander of the dnb styles. But yeah, get it.
pearl elk
yeah its techstep with some ambient... neuro ๐
pearl elk
I cant 2 step for shit but bleh, still gonna try lol
cursive crypt
Well, I also haven't been on such thing since 15+ years
pearl elk
I just go these days, almost 40 but I figure Ed Rush is older than I am hehe
Im gonna be a DnB grandpa
cursive crypt
Reminds me when back then I was seeing such older dudez. I see why now.
Yea that unique aging.
pearl elk
Im never gonna settle down and watch theatre n listen to opera and crap lol
cursive crypt
Whoa, lol. To be honest I enjoy some classics/jazz too.
pearl elk
Yeah I dont mind big band and swing occasionally
cursive crypt
These are aux, I'm too into electronic sound. I think all started with playing on these old PCs.
pearl elk
Electronic music just most accurately described how I feel as a person whos always been very switched on with technology
cursive crypt
Guess we mumble about the same thing ๐
First time I heard Dune 2 soundtrack through SoundBlaster I was blown.
pearl elk
Yeah I played Epic Pinball with SoundBlaster and boy, it was like boom
Didnt do a whole lot for Wolfenstein though ๐
cursive crypt
Think never heard it. Was only PC speaker pew-pew.
rare sparrow
Anyone remember where they talked about upcoming changes to World Composition? I think it was in one of the streams from the last few months, but I can't find it
pearl elk
you just got abit deeper pew-pew cuz it was running through proper speakers

does anyone feel like the changelog of 4.25 preview is kinda small? I guess the rather fundamental changes to exposure handling etc. took a lot of dev time ๐ค
cursive crypt
For some games I even liked it more than SB. There was certain... style
Like Commander Keen was very fun, lol
rare sparrow
Previews never have the full changelog
cursive crypt
@pearl elk One thing for sure I don't like certainly is these slobber vocals on contemporary DnB. Bleah
pearl elk
oh the MC over track stuff?
cursive crypt
Like everybody discovered that and its suddenly all like pop music.
Well, for some yeah.
pearl elk
ahh you mean the DnB blend with female hooks, bit like RnB
cursive crypt
Yep.
Male ones too. Dunno tho they sound like females.
Like the other day I opened SoundCloud and say, find me some DnB. 90% where such shit.
pearl elk
lol even worse, Professor Green does abit of that but boy his voice is twangy lol
rare sparrow
Of course I spend a while searching and once I nearly give up and ask I find it immediately afterwards https://youtu.be/wXbyqGYfM1I?t=373
cursive crypt
Some vocals are pretty much fine, like what I have heard 15+ years ago. Reminding me LTJ Bukem & Conrad where so good match.
pearl elk
Im not a big fan of Dance or NRG
cursive crypt
Hmm... Bukem is more of Intelligent & Atmospheric/jazzy
pearl elk
EDM has its moments but alot of the good stuff can be put into other categories more fitting anyways
See I dont mind Chase & Status, thats abit more mainstream vibe
cursive crypt
These I haven't heard.
pearl elk
youre no in the UK I hope
cursive crypt
Not at all ๐
pearl elk
that would explain why ๐ Its been on the radio there
cursive crypt
ah, that some pop hype?
pearl elk
cursive crypt
*clicks*
pearl elk
its jungle but its def aimed more mainstream
cursive crypt
I'm listening, yeah I agree. DnB is usually on kinda rave parties, occasionaly some mainstream might pop - like this one.
Its even surprising, yea sounds better than the other slob I heard recently.
pearl elk
I dont mind breaks and rollers but when its just those over and over I get bored pretty quick. Neuro has alot more going on and the switch ups are easier to do
cursive crypt
Aye, in fact jungle is a bit on the edge for me.
cursive crypt
hehe... black dudez make some good sound, its apparent connection with hip hop, regge and etc
pearl elk
but guess what date it is on Saturday
cursive crypt
?
pearl elk
well this week actually I should say, today, its 1 year since Keith Flint of The Prodigy died
cursive crypt
Really? Haven't been following them up. Drugs?
cursive crypt
Gosh... Classic way for some musicians.
Nah... They were old tho?
... 50 years old, just checked.
pearl elk
I figure in honour of The Prodigy being kick ass, why not party hard. He was 50 so not too old but maybe he just felt out of touch with the world
I mean can you imagine watching people do The Floss to Firestarter?
cursive crypt
Not been really on it, but it had great influence on the Electronic scene.
pearl elk
Sucks aye, I hope Matrix 4 has some of their music
cursive crypt
Huh, is that a thing? M 4?
pearl elk
Im really worried theyre gonna go with that Billie Eilish chick or Madonna somethin like that lol
cursive crypt
lol, well tbh there was one album I liked from Madonna. Ofc, it was heavily electronic and was good base for remixes ๐
cursive crypt
Let me check, thing I forget the names. Was something like a witch or so.
Frozen. I remembered because of one wild remix of it.
But beat me, don't remember from who it was.
... was ages ago.
pearl elk
You ever heard of Skitz Mix?
cursive crypt
Don't think so.
pearl elk
We listened to that when I was younger and its still going, theyre up to 57 now lol, I remember when it was single digits
Or were you busy looking at the woman in the red dress?
Look again!
