zinc matrix
#

@zinc matrix vegans eat more protein than eh i mean no nvegans.. excuse me

#

oh . i am making one

fathom wadi
#

you should really work on that vegan personality. It makes you unbearable :p

zinc matrix
#

great activism

median wraith
#

This channel is about vegans 24/7

zinc matrix
#

and you are still not vegan

#

what a pitty

#

ew

#

@fathom wadi is strength weakness symptom of something with thyroid?

fathom wadi
#

no its because you dont absorb your proteins on your diet, even though you eat a lot of it.

#

most vitamins and supplementary things require something else to absorb it

median wraith
#

Wait I should be vegan?

fathom wadi
#

yeah haemo-proteins

zinc matrix
#

@median wraith u complained about being a non vegan

#

This channel is about vegans 24/7 makes me so sad im not one
@median wraith

#

oh sorry double tag

its the quote function sorry

#

lack of iron is a killer. My wife is veggie and has a lack of iron intake so takes supplements for it. But when she doesnt take them, she is asleep early, naps in the day, has no energy

zinc matrix
#

my nutrition input is perfectly fine

fathom wadi
#

I don't doubt you work on it, but its not right if you are not healthy and your TSH is fine. You are missing something vital to absorb. Vegan diets are not good diets. They lack a lot of what the body needs, especially when the body works hard.

zinc matrix
#

according to science vegan diet is better than yours.

#

are yo usure, you are sure?

median wraith
#

I didn't wrote that 🤔

fathom wadi
#

im sure it is. I eat nothing but potatoes really

rotund tundra
#

*according to vegan science

zinc matrix
#

you should educate yourself about plant based diet. you think its unhealthy. don#t spread this misinformation please

fathom wadi
#

try reading up on some weight lifting tutorials for diets. But skip the meat and replace it with protein that you can absorb + creatine.

zinc matrix
#

@fathom wadi i surely dont use bread as my main protein source ...

rotund tundra
#

these days there is enough 'science' for which ever view you want to take

fathom wadi
#

green vegetable proteins dont get fully absorbed.

@zinc matrix that bet came from a study made from the same experts that named Spain won't have more than 15 covi19 cases 🤔

Note to self: Don't drag and move 100 levels at once in the world comp window.

zinc matrix
#

@zinc matrix well. that has nothing to do with anything

fathom wadi
#

pure meat diet has advantages over a common diet. But its all personal really. The body does what it does. Some diets are better for one person. some better for others.

zinc matrix
#

@zinc matrix there are enough people who eat like you and have my symptoms. so stop with your misinformation.

#

lol

fathom wadi
#

pure meat diet puts you into a permanent state of ketosis, which can be great for larger people and those who put weight on easily, but if someone who had the reverse metabolism did it, it can be deadly, producing bile in excess and causing ulcers and acidic blood.

median wraith
#

And make sure before go the bed you drink a bit of the sauce of the Pic

plucky pagoda
#

There's some support for the idea that it's more about moderation than anything else. Eating meat occasionally seems to be okay health wise.

zinc matrix
#

@plucky pagoda but not animal-wise. which is as important if you are not medicine restricted to any particular diet.

fathom wadi
#

my dad used to say if you are a vegetarian, you should have supplements or you will slowly lose the core nutrients you need. I said "but what about people in India who don't eat meat" and he said "have you seen how many flies get around there? Im sure they have some" and I laughed

plucky pagoda
#

They have milk heavy diets too.

fathom wadi
#

yeah lack of milk in a diet causes dry skin

zinc matrix
#

seeing cow as god, but abusing it

#

hypocrits DX

median wraith
#

Actually the milk is worst

zinc matrix
#

@fathom wadi you dont need milk for anything... neither meat, nor eggs

fathom wadi
#

pretty sure you do

zinc matrix
#

science is sure you dont.

fathom wadi
#

ok where is this science?

zinc matrix
#

but you belive what you wanna velieve

fathom wadi
#

Natural News?

median wraith
#

Na I just recicle oxygen, plus the nicotine kills the new virus

zinc matrix
#

just ask major organizations

#

they make summaries

fathom wadi
#

I want you to show me

#

you made the statement

zinc matrix
#

cant do that

fathom wadi
#

then dont make statements you cant back up please. I will ask for evidence :p

zinc matrix
#

i hope you do

plucky pagoda
#

You can achieve what you need without animal sources but it is not easy. There's things that are hard to get. I use to be up on all of it. I ran a gym and was big into body building when I was vegan.

rotund tundra
#

and by organizations i hope you mean institutions

zinc matrix
#

@plucky pagoda how old aare you?oO

fathom wadi
#

im not being anti-veg or vegan btw. I would be a veggie if I could afford it

zinc matrix
#

@fathom wadi im vegan and spend less tahn as killer

fathom wadi
#

sigh

rotund tundra
#

nicotine kills everything

zinc matrix
#

yes. i spend less money now

fathom wadi
#

you kill plants

#

murderer

median wraith
#

So what made you go vegan

zinc matrix
#

do you know the difference between plants and animals?

fathom wadi
#

yes. one is a side dish the other is the main

zinc matrix
#

now stop evading the question

#

if you cant answer it, don't think i'll give you studies

median wraith
#

Yeah the plants are static

#

Ainamls dynamic

zinc matrix
#

moveable

#

objects

#

@fathom wadi so could you tell me difference then? in regards why you say i am murdering em

fathom wadi
#

I dont want to discuss it further in here thats all. You call people killers for eating meat. I have no time for anti-social veganism

#

you give them a bad name

zinc matrix
#

yes i do. cause thats what they do. they pay for killing

#

animals, which can be sad, happy, and feel pain

fathom wadi
#

sure felicia.

zinc matrix
#

plants dont feel anything of that

fathom wadi
#

I hope you find what is causing your issues tho. Really.

zinc matrix
#

i hope you become vegan.

#

you know its wrong to abuse and kill animals for food.

fathom wadi
#

maybe one day, when im rich and can afford to change my diet

median wraith
#

Let's see when the couple countries that produce the vegetales for the rest get collapsed by the total grounds explotation

zinc matrix
#

again, you are ignoring my statement: i spend more money when i was non-vegan.

fathom wadi
#

perhaps your country is good for that kind of food, but in mine, they only serve us shit

"Although uncertainties remain regarding protein requirements, the data in adult vegetarians (depending on the methods and criteria used) indicate that classic vegetarian diets supply more than adequate protein and amino acids. "

rotund tundra
#

I hope people write better documentation, so we can spend less time hunting for info and more arguing vegan science in #lounge

zinc matrix
#

mike. how old are you

median wraith
#

@rotund tundra never!

zinc matrix
#

para, vegan science would be pure psychological.

#

you mean plant-based

plucky pagoda
#

It mentions some of the things I was referring to. You have to seek out some of the foods and consciously combine them to ensure you get all the amino acids you need.

rotund tundra
#

probably at this time santa is rethinking why he didn't apply as a doc writter at epic

zinc matrix
#

@plucky pagoda i dont see a problem tracking food to assure not being part of animal abusement and death

median wraith
#

The way to reroute something it's move it slowly, rather than fight agains the system, go and support the ones that do it properly

zinc matrix
#

and to feel better 😄

#

@median wraith some non vegans are soft, some are harder nuts. you can do the soft way with the soft ones. but many are hard coconuts. and you gotta crack them strong.

#

psychology™

median wraith
#

Makes no sense if you end consuming animal products but support the big vegan companies then, plus the products to growth these made of animal componentes

alpine fern

imagine caring about anything besides which food tastes better

zinc matrix
fathom wadi
#

those two look ill

zinc matrix
#

@fathom wadi shall i start how trump looks like on your typical diet

fathom wadi
#

skin like a lepers ballbag 😄

zinc matrix
#

dont you see how wrong your argument are..

#

from a-z.. they are all heavily wrong

plucky pagoda
#

I think moving those levels was a mistake. It would have been quicker to just reimport them.

rotund tundra
#

the real issue is we need to rethink the whole food industry

zinc matrix
#

while killing and abusing animals

#

great

#

idea

fathom wadi
#

we need a Brave New World. All food as pills.

plucky pagoda
#

bah, going to go cook up some sausage and make a couple of pizzas while I wait on the editor to either crash or finish.

#

The past two days have been almost all waiting.

zinc matrix
#

@fathom wadi pls dont be one of those who think supplements cause more harm than good

plucky pagoda
#

Vitamins is how they get the 5G in you.

fathom wadi
#

depends on the supplements. I am an avid martial arts fan so I respect what some of them do, but there are also pointless and useless ones. I dont take any myself. I do know a body builder who is an expert on the things and he tells me safe steroids and things to use if I want to bulk, and other diet info when I need to eat healthy

#

you dont have to link me to videos on animal cruelty to make a point btw. I am fully aware and have been inside a slaughter house. Im certainly not a proponent of it. Factory farming and the food industry is disgusting. But when you are poor and have kids, you have no choice but to eat the shit

zinc matrix
#

i guess you haven't read what i wrote 2 times in the past.

#

vegan diet is not more expensive.

fathom wadi
#

it is here

rotund tundra
#

.. my brother would disagree

plucky pagoda
#

I would disagree.

#

It is where I live.

rotund tundra
#

acttual healthy stuff is expensive

zinc matrix
#

@rotund tundra yes. if he buys the expensive stuff

fathom wadi
#

yeah but in the EU, there is more of a homegrown market thing with veggie stuff. Which is awesome. Spain for example has the best veg I ever ate and it was cheaper than cheap meat here.

plucky pagoda
#

In the U.S. meat, dairy and many processed foods benefit from government subsidies on things like corn that make their prices lower.

rotund tundra
#

he buys healthy stuff.. he's a freak about how it is produced

#

and from where it's from

zinc matrix
#

@zinc matrix you don't get it. sorry

#

and you dont get it.

#

you calling eating vitamins stupid?

#

and being vegan?

#

😮

#

why?

median wraith
#

Okay see you all, go to sleep and count carrots since sheep's are illegal now

fathom wadi
#

its harsh to say its stupid. It has an ethical reason behind it which is not stupid, but ignoring the caveats would be.

zinc matrix
#

ignoring the fact that vegan diet is not unhealthy.

#

thats wors.e

fathom wadi
#

if its done right of course it is.

zinc matrix
#

if its done wrong, your diet is unhealthy too

#

...

fathom wadi
#

yep

zinc matrix
#

and again your arguments are for nothing

fathom wadi
#

you have to know your body and what is right for it

zinc matrix
#

same goes on for the money.

fathom wadi
#

well you dont live in the UK right?

zinc matrix
#

uk is perfect for vegans

fathom wadi
#

its expensive

zinc matrix
#

there are several cases around the globe where non-vegans killed their babies with their diet, so yea, i dont think it very healthy

#

but do what yo uwant, killer.

see you are being offensive for your cause

I should be in the prehistoric museum

zinc matrix
#

okey 🙂 then stop spreading bad things

fathom wadi
#

not really. but if you are trying to make a fight out of it and be offensive, you could say you are destroying yourself

zinc matrix
#

i like this way

fathom wadi
#

yeah really its not working

zinc matrix
#

it is. ask psychologist

fathom wadi
#

convert with logic not insults

Im gonna eat a burger in your name. Good night 🙂

#

ponkkis isnt a human who likes logic in his diet and standards

he she wants more drastic things.

zinc matrix
#

he she it, gonna kill it.

#

ccause food

rotund tundra
zinc matrix
#

i get 130g protein per day.

#

@rotund tundra yes. i know that. it still makes no sense to ve non-vegan if you come with this argument

#

as a non vegan your meat eats more plants than you alone as a human

rotund tundra
#

you eat the meat either way

zinc matrix
#

so non-vegan causes much more deaths and suffering

#

you mean microsopic small meat from insects?

#

that's fine.

#

as i said. non-vegans cause more suffering and death

rotund tundra
#

not because they eat meat

zinc matrix
#

who is they?

rotund tundra
#

non-vegans

zinc matrix
#

your meat eats mostly soy. = crop death

#

your typical cattle per unit eats much more plants than you.

#

much more crop death

#

@zinc matrix meat eating animals don't taste good

#

what else?

#

if fake meat would be bigger, majority would eat it

#

why would anyone choose a non vegan option over a vegan option?

#

morally wrong yes. what tastes bad? some fake meat? yes it does. taht's a big problem.

#

how else to call it

#

lol

rotund tundra
#

he means the vegans substitute for meat

zinc matrix
#

ya

#

fake meat

#

i love it

rotund tundra
#

actually i saw a documentary and i was excited to try their fake meat

zinc matrix
#

some vagans love the taste of it. yes. you read correctly, ponkkis.

#

you gotta learn something today.

#

@zinc matrix i mean sure. you can do that. contribute to death and suffering. support slaughter and the employees who are sick of it. (working with dead animals in its first stages)

rotund tundra
zinc matrix
#

i said the others are suffering

#

plants don't be sad, happy or feel pain. they have stimuli. that is something different.
animals can be sad, happy and feel pain.

soft night
#

plans feel pain

#

they feel

zinc matrix
#

they feel stimuli. its like touching gently your hair

#

you dont call this pain.

soft night
#

human feel stimuli

#

everything feel stimuli

zinc matrix
#

thats not the reason why you dont eat em

fathom wadi
#

careful now, you might lose by default :p

zinc matrix
#

@soft night animals feel sad, happy, pain and more. plants dont.

#

plants only have basic orm of stimuli.

#

you cant compare this to animals stimuli

#

if you do, you don't take this serious

rotund tundra
#

who's the racist now

soft night
#

you are basing this to assymptions

rotund tundra
#

saying animals are more worthy to live because they have more feels

zinc matrix
#

@rotund tundra me is less of it than majority

#

@rotund tundra better than killing both things

#

brain.exe.

rotund tundra
#

better kill everything just to be sure

zinc matrix
#

now you are starting to be a joke

#

i dont wanna see excuses

#

yes. someone who is looking for arguments, and i destroy them, and again finds another arguments, and so on. that is a joke

rotund tundra
#

what about people who identify as plants?

zinc matrix
#

what about em?

soft night
#

there is flesh eating plants too

zinc matrix
#

and?

Pizza in the oven. Fresh cut onions, jalapeños, fresh cooked sausage and bacon crumbled on top with a basil and tomato sauce and a heavy dusting of parmesan and mozzarella.

tough sierra
#

Basil on pizza? Wonder what that's like.

#

I work at a pizza hut and we don't have that.

plucky pagoda
#

It's in the sauce.

#

But it's good as a topping too.

#

I make a flat bread one with an olive oil sauce and roasted garlic that I like to top with basil from the garden.

tough sierra
#

Oh hells yes.

#

I got some dried basil that ma grew, my god it's so good compared to store bought even still.

#

Amazing that it's expensive here despite how easy it is to grow.

So I'm learning how to make crepes today.

#

I am not a big fan of crepes but maybe I’ve just not had good ones

bronze axle
signal citrus
#

what filling though

bronze axle
#

I’m gonna freeze them, so it depends on what we feel like later.

#

Nutella will be one of them for sure.

signal citrus
#

was going to say yeah

plucky pagoda
#

Oh I love crepes.

bronze axle
#

Maybe get some strawberries and whipped cream going, too.

signal citrus
#

hazelnut chocolate spread is good

plucky pagoda
#

Yeah, cream cheese sauce and some kind of berry in syrup.

tough sierra
#

Sexy compressed game.

plucky pagoda
#

Did you make them on the stove or use a electric crepe thing?

bronze axle
#

Stove, with a stainless steel pan.

plucky pagoda
#

I've been thinking about getting a cast iron pan for making them.

bronze axle
plucky pagoda
#

Oh, yeah not a cheap pan.

#

Thick enough to retain heat and not burn

bronze axle
#

I love this thing. Before I got it, I only used non-stick pans so at first I was worried about stuff sticking.

plucky pagoda
#

I switched our house over to gas and having been buying nothing but commercial or cast iron stuff.

bronze axle
#

Turns out I like this better. Butter and oil make it just as effective as nonstick, plus i can get great fond going with meat.

#

Which is amazing for flavor, and sauces.

plucky pagoda
#

That's awesome. I hate the non stick stuff. A good pan makes cooking so much easier.

signal citrus
#

looks like a nice pan

bronze axle
#

It’s the best I own.

#

And I got Barkeeper’s Friend to clean it. Makes it like new every time.

signal citrus
#

I got a new iron skillet, and have not cleaned it.

#

Have done most grilling outdoors on a charcoal grill but skillets are cool.

bronze axle
#

I’d like to get an iron skillet at some point.

#

Just tried a crepe with peanut butter and honey. Not bad!

#

It’s the good stuff, too. Natural peanut butter fresh ground right in the grocery store, and local honey from Trader Joe’s.

Well this is discrimination against he poor who can't afford smart phones.

plucky pagoda
#

use email.

tough sierra
#

Pretty sure that won't work.

#

2fa is about using an email "and" a second device.

#

Phones.

#

Twitch passing their 2fa thing off like it was no big deal and there was workarounds >.>

#

When there wasn't.

#

A smart phone being 60 USD+ ain't as bad as being required to pay for service which is 30USD+ a month or 50 even if you want a conventional service.

#

Bullshavick that ain't worth paying for.

plucky pagoda
#

No it just means using a method in addition to a password.

tough sierra
#

If that's the case we defaulted at 2fa already.

#

You need an email to setup and use use steam, and the epic games launcher.

#

Which i'm pretty sure required a confirmation email.

#
Beginning today and ending on May 21, we will periodically require two-factor authentication prior to claiming free games on the Epic Games Store.  We are making this change in an effort to encourage our players to take steps to strengthen their Epic account security. 
#

I very very very much dislike policies that try to be idiot proof.

plucky pagoda
#

You enter your password, they email you a code, you enter the code.

tough sierra
#

You all really should be discourage even allowing this to be mandatory, even as a test run, because it's going to get pushed further, your entire lives end up on your smartphones which there's very little control over, that's just more avenues for a company to exploit for profit.

plucky pagoda
#

or use an app like most people do. 2fa should be mandatory everywhere. Passwords are obsolete.

tough sierra
#

They should be optional.

#

How the hell is someone going to reverse a 12 character password without much a pattern and using many character types?

#

When it should ideally be stored as a modern hash.

#

Why does it even matter for accounts that don't have much value in them?

plucky pagoda
#

Because most people use the same password for ten years and on every service.

tough sierra
#

Then that's their responsibility.

plucky pagoda
#

Then when one service has a breach everything's compromised.

tough sierra
#

Oof shit i'm getting caught up in idealism >.<

#

To be totally honest, i'm mostly salty as it's being pushed is hindering my quality of life a lot personally, can't really even deal with ebt as ideally anymore since that requires 2fa now.

#

To do things like check how much is on the card.

#

But more than that if it's socially excepted as mandatory it's a glorious method to force spyware on people in the name of idiot proof security.

#

A lot of times these services won't allow viop numbers. It's specifically designed to identify legit users.

#

Or what they deem legit.

#

I know i'm overly idealistic and probably a bit arrogant.

#

But it'd be really nice if people questioned it more.

#

"don't own a gun cause you can shoot your own eye out, don't make your own fuel because you can blow yourself up, don't make your own moonshine because fuck knows why"

#

Ok yup i'm being overly salty and unreasonable shit >.< You all have fun.

Doesn't windows have more selections with games and such? And game dev being pretty mandatory on it if you use conventional stuff.

If not and if I can use this gpu properly on linux would love switching back.

OSDEV is like game dev.

pearl elk
#

Man this is so annoying having audio baked into anim notifys

tough sierra
#

What are those exactly?

#

Though maybe a lot of problems with software porting isn't so much an OS issue as it is an issue of not having a universal way to pack C++ projects.

#

Lots of dependency chains.

pearl elk
#

I think MS tried that once and everyone complained about wall gardens

tough sierra
#

Understandable.

pearl elk
#

stability pffft, you can take our stability but you'll never take our FREEDOOOM

tough sierra
#

I suspect a lot of the issue is more that when you download dependencies there's no easy way to do it, the code isn't directly inside the parent project.

#

Would be nicer if it were, and you just gave credit and the version used.

pearl elk
#

Just add it to the list of things I dont like about C++ 🙂

#

People love to hate on npm but atleast they give it a shot

tough sierra
#

NPM even has issues but so far it's the nicest thing i've found so far.

#

Mmmm

#

Maybe not.

#

I just hate tweaking variables in cmake.

#

I don't want to have to spend days installing something.

#

And learn all these little niches that are never explained in the install instructions.

#

But meh i'm not that great at installing stuff.

#

And apparently it's something most people don't have as much trouble with.

pearl elk
#

It really comes down to time, whether something is actually worth learning the complex route or if you just want to fire and forget

Idk man i think you need a while loop in there, if it runs too fast the player wont notice what happened >3>

ahh shit yeah needs a while

#

May as put an interface call to an object with no implementation too. Just in case you need to fill in some time

pastel tiger
#

do this instead

zinc matrix
#

I dont think its tangled up enough, you should put in a bunch of nodes that arent connected to anything

thatll force whoever looks at your blueprint to sit down and really think about what hes doing if he wants to change a single connection of your god tier setup

@pastel tiger cant it wont compile 😦

better submit a bug report 😐

fathom wadi

actually it might, but it will error

you need to do that, then change the max loops in engine :p

#

did someone put this in a while loop. Been waiting for the text for ages 😄

zinc matrix

On a side note, what do you think makes programming hard for some ppl in your opinion? (any kind of programming)

When I originally started a few years back it was mostly these things that made it tricky for me

(1) The wall, a whole lotta stuff shoved in your face at once and overwhelming you with where to even start.

(2) Vague errors/ lacking feedback

(3) Rampant "I am very smart" syndrome so alot of tutorials/examples/guides/documentation are written in ways that make even the best readers feel damn near illiterate.

(4) Developers (too frequently) just flat out dont give a damn about the user experience of the dev tools they make.

and the ABSOLUTE WORST ONE

(5) Im going to do this for now but you dont need to worry about why i did that ill explain it later. (Proceeds to never explain it)

fathom wadi
#

what makes programming hard for some people is they dont really want to do it. They think its cool but dont want to put in the effort, so they waste their time, asking others to google for them, copy/pasting everything and wondering why they cant fix it when it breaks, and complaining that the engine is crap or some other excuse. People are lazy.
Now if you get someone who does want to be a programmer, I mean really wants to be, they will become one. Because that is all it takes. The willpower.

zinc matrix
#

I think that kindof applies to anything tbh, theres that sorta honeymoon phase when you pick up the first skill, but then you suddenly hit your first wall. Climbing that wall, I dont think its so much willpower as it is wanting it even at the cost of your own sanity. But more or less same general idea lol

#

I think when most ppl say 'I want to do something" its more that they like the idea of doing something, not so much actually doing it

fathom wadi
#

its all willpower. It's a binary action to. You either do it, or you don't. When deciding, its willpower that decides in 99% of cases.

#

The amount of people i have seen cross-posting problems for days across my social media networks, trying to get someone to fix a problem, when its a problem that can be fixed in minutes if you try.... I've lost count.

zinc matrix
#

oh you know what that leads me to this other thing ive noticed! THIS HUGE THING!

fathom wadi
zinc matrix
#

I honestly beleive, that ANY course for ANY subject
NEEDS to start with a tutorial on how to use google

and i dont mean that in the shitty 'just google it' way

I honestly mean teaching ppl how to use the search operators, do boolean searches, search specific sites, etc a full comprehensive tutorial on finding what you need!

#

YOU HAVE NO IDEA I honestly went YEARS ignorant of anything but the most basic search

#

and the moment i sat down and learned google my ability to learn and find what i need was magnified 10x

fathom wadi
#

you dont even need search operators tbh. I mean, it can help, but I've known about them since the start and used them maybe 50 times since

#

knowing a few keywords about what you are looking for is more important

zinc matrix
#

so it really sneaks up on you but its actually a HUGE bonus

fathom wadi
#

its nice if you are looking for pron and want to remove a certain genre.

zinc matrix
#

lets say you want to learn something about plain c, but you keep getting c++

so you search for "c" -"cpp" -"c++"

and suddenly the answers you get are way more relevant

fathom wadi
#

"native C" is how I search for native C stuff

zinc matrix
#

Sometimes Ill use it to search a websites documentation if the built in search is bad enough "c" site:something.com/reee

fathom wadi
#

the site:// thing is useful for sure, but then thats an apparent one now. It never used to be

zinc matrix
#

another good example is the boolean operators

like in your c example, "native c" definitely works but you might be missing stuff there so doing this can get you more resources you find useful:

("native c" OR "plain c" OR "c") -"cpp" -"c++" -"objective" -"c#"

#

idk if the parenthesis matter with googles boolean search operators, i have to doublecheck that, but its very useful

fathom wadi
#

it matters for collation purposes, otherwise its seperate checks I believe

zinc matrix
#

fair enough, but yeah, even knowing just the basic "stuff" = MUST INCLUDE THIS IN PAGE

is a huge boost to someones ability to find things and learn

fathom wadi
#

ugh just saw a game dev job for £24k a year. That reminds me of when I was earning 40k/y for web dev then the outsourcing killed it and next thing you know the same job was 16-18k/y

zinc matrix
#

Honestly I used to want to work in the games industry, after years of learning programming and 3d art ive decided I just want to keep it as a hobby unless work conditions improve

fathom wadi
#

work conditions are fine. Dont presume 1 or 2 horror stories is the entire industry

#

Also you have the ability to leave or not even take a job. It's not an Apple Cobalt Mine with child slaves you know 😛

zinc matrix
#

Not really no, theres consequences to leaving a job, you have bills to pay, a lease your stuck in for a year, possibly debts and other such things, losing company insurance if its provided and such.

Mind you this is from my usa perspective not so much the uk or eu where depending on the specific country you probably do have a bit more freedom in leaving when work conditions are unfavorable xD

fathom wadi
#

no thats something you contract out of. Why would you take a contract that leaves you in the shit if the place folds or you get sacked etc?

#

see that is a bad life management problem, not a game dev company problem

#

there are exceptions. There are some shitty companies, but you just dont work for them. simple

zinc matrix
#

Im sure there are places with decent enough work conditions, butits more than 1 or 2 horror stories atm sadly, even my gf works 60 hour weeks and I can see first hand how draining it is on her DX

#

Not everyone gets much choice on what they can accept/decline sadly, particularly you might be fresh out of school in the usa with 40k in debts or more, you may be forced to get the first thing offered to you.

fathom wadi
#

I work 60 hour weeks all the time. Thats something I enjoy. But if im at a company, Im getting paid for it so whats the issue?

zinc matrix
#

Its fine for you if thats how you enjoy living your life. But some people want/have a family they need to support and be with, and theres also a massive mental health burden on many, often sleep is sacrificed if you want to spend time with friends or family at all which directly correlates to degredation in your performance, increased anxiety, depression, and shaving years off your lifespan

#

mind you its not ALWAYS a problem

fathom wadi
#

I have a family. 5 kids. I see them all the time. I also have more than enough mental health issues and diving into work helps.

zinc matrix
#

the right company with the right policy and work culture goes a long way

fathom wadi
#

People putting themselves into untenable situations then trying to blame everything else around them doesn't roll on me. I wouldn't take a job that left me worse off ever. I have been ripped off before, too many times in webdev, but that made me take the stance of "I am the boss, you hire my services" and if they come at me with a shitty contract, I come back with a counter-contract. If they refuse to budge, I walk. Simple.

zinc matrix
#

See thats the main difference though

fathom wadi
#

I see companies exploiting young people all the time, those companies I wouldn't work for. I would advise others against it too

zinc matrix
#

You have the leveridge to walk, its what alot of people sadly dont have, for reasons that may not be their fault at all

fathom wadi
#

I have no real oomph in that department except my skills. But what I do have is pride in myself. Im no corporate whore and won't be treated that way. I can see a young person being blinded by the lights and wanting to work at Ubisoft or some other large company, and walking into it with blinkers on. But I guess I have waded through enough shit and paid my dues enough to not accept that anymore

zinc matrix
#

Im not even saying ppl shouldnt work 60 hour weeks persay, what im saying is we need a bit more protections from abusive workplaces

fathom wadi
#

Yep nothing wrong with that. Unions aren't my favourite idea to resolve it, but its a start

zinc matrix
#

Cas you are right to an extent, at some point its just not the companies problem

fathom wadi
#

One idea I had was a tally system. If someone makes a complaint about a company and goes through the process of getting lost earnings or such due unpaid overtime (and there was contractual protection in place), the company should have to pay a kind of "bail". Then the onus is on them to treat employees well and fair.

#

Last time I went to court for lost earnings it took me 2 years to resolve and I was fine with that as I lost nothing really. I gained the inspiration to get the hell away from that crap company 😄

zinc matrix
#

Thats a good concept, I think a big thing is giving workers better access to legal options. (at least in the usa) third party Arbitration can be nice for that sometimes.

#

I think the biggest thing that would fix the crunch problem in my eyes tho

is if gamedevs got paid hourly or in the VERY LEAST got compensated their normal rate for hours worked beyond 40

fathom wadi
#

we have that in the UK. It takes time because its backed up tho

zinc matrix
#

like gamedevs need overtime lol

fathom wadi
#

I've never done overtime for free. I have done work out of hours for free but only when I have messed up and don't want anyone to know so I fix it in my own time :p

zinc matrix
#

not so much to force companies to spend more money, but to incentivise companies to not make decisions that force unnecessary crunches

fathom wadi
#

you can't stop the crunch though. Its part of the process. Unnecessary crunch isn't a thing. It's all necessary. Otherwise you would just release as is.

zinc matrix
#

Its necessary in the moment when the company doesnt do any prevention

but it can definitely be unecessary

#

When management/investors make last minute demands or changes, or insist on an overly optimistic release date

fathom wadi
#

unpaid crunch.. thats the kicker. But then thats upto other people to choose. Who has the most to lose? A company losing an asset that knows the system and would do the work faster than anyone else? Or the person who gets to go find a job they are respected in?

zinc matrix
#

The problem is the person is actually losing more because theres just so many ppl applying every day

#

were all sadly disposable xD

fathom wadi
#

yeah inexperienced with the system though. So theres time needed to train them up, get them to the position of the previous employee. It's a time/cost nightmare for the company, not the person who left to goto a company that pays them

#

No thats not true

zinc matrix
#

Plus that hard work doesnt get you much when alot of places have annual layoffs when projects wrap up

fathom wadi
#

Nobody is disposable in the right job

zinc matrix
#

The main problem being that most gamedev jobs are not that 'right job' sadly

fathom wadi
#

Yeah and some of the work is factory farmed work. Thats why I dont do AAA. You are a chicken in a coup putting out artwork or basic dev that there is a lot of people willing to do. So the disposable element comes from your position and skill. If you are in the right job, doing what they need, you are not disposable. You may be replaceable but with what? Someone who is not right for the job, who needs further training, who costs more, who might kill your workflow speed, etc.

#

Imagine if everyone stood up during the final crunch phase and said "We want $50 an hour more to crunch". The company would shit. They would have to pay it or push back development or end up losing so much financially that its better to pay them and get it done with. Especially close to release.

#

There would be layoffs, but of the non-essential people

zinc matrix
#

kills the speed/workflow but everyones crunching to make up for it, the replacement will probably make the same or less unless its a senior position and not everyone can be a senior dev.

But what honestly gets me is when they arent up front about it, theyl never say your 'required' to crunch, but when the yearly layoffs hit youll be let go citing a bad performance review

#

if they flat out boldly went up to your face and said 'work 60 hours or your fired'

#

I can get alot more behind that

#

but when its 'oh your not required to work more than 40 we just have a dedicated work culture of people who are passionate about their work'

'hey you arent getting quite as much done as your other coworkers, theyre staying over extra to make up for it, dont you feel guilty about that?'

fathom wadi
#

Wait... crunch is a requirement of almost all game developers. Full stop. You dont get into this industry without accepting that. otherwise you are just moaning about it

#

not you personally.. I mean in general

zinc matrix
#

Im not saying everyone does it wrong mind you

maybe not even the majority does it wrong

but if 5% were doing it wrong that could still be alot of companies and alot of abused workers

#

It may still be uncommon or 'rare' in a sense of the word but it happens often enough that protections need to be in place I beleive.

fathom wadi
#

if oyu cut out those 5% of companies from your potential workplaces, you are still left with a shitload of places to work where you get paid in full. Thats the choice. When it comes down to it, we are free people and they need us more than we need them.

its like cascade on drugs. Modular as hell. The similarities bear no resemblance in terms of UI, but its the same thing. Module + tweak + combine with another module = win

it removes the need for making custom code for Cascade too. Because with cascade you are limited to what is there in the true sense. You need to goto C++ to extend it. Niagara seems to be so dynamic that you dont need to do that. Plus its modular with other elements of the engine

In cascade if you wanted a module that let you get information for a custom blueprint for example. you would need to code it. Niagara just has that already

When it comes to trying to make the economy look good, the US will throw around any amount of money without a second thought.

#

But when it comes to children wanting to go to college or sick people wanting medicine the answer is always, 'but that's expensive...'

#

The thing is, the US tax payers are going to be paying this stuff back for years to come, and if I'm going to be paying it back I might as well take my money now.

The entire stimulus package comes up to be over $7,000 per tax payer in the United States. So Even if I hold onto that $1,200 or even invest it, it won't be nearly enough to pay for how much they are going to raise my taxes in the future.

rigid shoal
#

I don't think they'll raise taxes in the future. Also, if you invest it, depending on how you do so, it could be subject to a lesser tax rate.

But it's truly incredible what the government and the Fed are doing. Is this because of Trump, I don't know.

I might buy a Playstation 5.

I never had a Playstation 3 or 4, so if the Playstation 5 is backwards compatible maybe I can catch up on some of the exclusive games I have missed over the last decade...

But since Detroit Become Human is on PC, that's the better way to play it.

@junior meteor the problem with mankind is we are a conflicting entity. Part of mankind thinks those who want a collective mankind are pussies. Another part feels its not possible until everyone is forced to think the same, and the truth is, we are all separate entities with individuality so there will always be part of humanity willing to subjugate the other parts. And they do it because you can always pay one half of the poor, to kill the other half. Such is life.
