Ugh. I spent 5 years acclimating a variety of bamboo to the climate here and it's finally coming in strong this year and the idiots cutting trees down next door just trampled over an entire bed of new shoots.
My neighbor is a great guy but he tries to get help around his house for dirt cheap and it gets a bit crazy. The guy that did his driveway was so messed up when he poured the concrete in that he buried some of his tools in it.
He had a brick wall put in around his patio and the guy made vertical columns of single bricks stacked all around it and then mortared between the columns.
north torrent
You should kick it over.
plucky pagoda
Nah, I like my neighbor. He just doesn't know how to hire contractors.

Trying to but so far all the traps are empty.
Putting in a coy pond if we stay at this house. The grove of bamboo over by it will form a half circle around it and a seating area.
I want to try and get one of these varieties to grow up here. They're not well suited to it so it'd be challenging but maybe not impossible.

I could probably bend it down and cover it for the coldest parts of the year and it get it to survive.
There's a guy further north of us who does that with a fig tree. Covers it, not bends it. He wraps it in tarps or something every winter.
I've been mowing over a few beds of tulips since we bought this house and they come back just as strong every year.
Yeah, they look nice for a short while though and no maintenance. I try and plant stuff that takes care of itself.

Chicken doesn't have a lot of flavor, it is pretty generic.
Duck has a distinct taste.
Go to a Chinese Restaurant that has Beijing Roast Duck. It is roasted to be crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
sage tendon
"Quack quack nom nom" is so much catchier than "Tok tok nom nom"
Most chinese restaurants are too westernized to actually get a valid chinese meal

Duck is one thing I would never be able to cook.
You have to Google one of the authentic ones.
There should be at least 1 or two if you live in a major city.

I quite like tuna on pizza, it's better if you don't use stinky skipjack. tuna, red onion, black olives and chilli peppers. If I eat skipjack tuna from a can I have to put cumin on it to get over the smell.

20 mins in is the interesting part. We really need something like this built into the engine so it's this easy to get the performance necessary for high entity count games.
I'm not a fan of C# at all but that burst compiler obliterated my expectations from that video demonstration.
It'd be fun to do a raw performance comparison, and see exactly how much work is involved with each.
alpine fern
burst compiler is op
well
burst just calls llvm with a lot of info about what can't alias
so I guess llvm is what's actually op
tough sierra
Clever.
I kinda wish it were that easy to use instanced static meshes with an imported ECS engine.
alpine fern
implement your ECS with niagara instead 
tough sierra
It's doable but i've yet to figure out how to get past the one issue where the editor crashes, unless maybe I slap it in an UObject.
alpine fern
then you get overpowered GPU-based draw call generation and culling on top of free transform updates
alpine fern
can have a million cubes flying around and it works
tough sierra
If that works with a physics engine that'd be really impressive.
Even if it's basic AABB
alpine fern
no physics of course
tough sierra
For games with high entity counts honestly an AABB type of physics would be good enough most times.
I've never put logic on the gpu through custom code as of yet, but that's interesting to wonder about.
alpine fern
niagara is very nice there
you only worry about the update logic and it takes care of writing a sensible compute shader from that
tough sierra
Impressive.
I've not given convex physics a real stab, but making an AABB physics engine I find is fairly possible to have a pretty flat layout.
Am using some tricks where i'd have some fligs to tell if an index is valid or not for add/removing bodies without moving bodies that are already valid.
So that one can have a valid index for the body's duration.
And you don't need an array of pointers to bodies.
alpine fern
explicit max object counts are very sketchy
tough sierra
I need to swap out the isValid buffer with actual bitflags again but it was bugged earlier, in theory you could search about 512 bodies in a single instruction to see if any one of them happen to be invalid.
Well i'm not a fan of unnecessary malloc.
alpine fern
there doesn't seem to be a technical reason for these limits
like it's not to fit something in 16 bit indices or whatever
tough sierra
For the max_bodies maybe not but the overlappingBodies part there is.
alpine fern
but then why should 120000 elements be impossible rather than run slightly slower?
tough sierra
Could just change it with a compile flag of sorts. If your making a game with lots of entities you know your max limits.
alpine fern
max limits don't necessarily exist if users can influence it at all
see factorio gigabases
tough sierra
True, though for rts games you can impose a strict cap.
You have interesting points though.
alpine fern
(I still don't understand how factorio runs as well as it does)
tough sierra
They are using components in some fashion, exactly how so I'm not sure.
alpine fern
unless it was secretly redesigned after they posted the blogs one or 2 years ago, they aren't
tough sierra
Did they say what design they went with?
Being able to shove millions of entities per tick is pretty impressive, on one flipping thread at that.
alpine fern
I guess they moved the things that actually do a lot each frame out to separate systems
tough sierra
Err supposedly one thread.
alpine fern
because the main entities are some crazy inheritance hierarchy and iterated through pointers
tough sierra
You have to be shitting me.
alpine fern
several blog posts mention this
i barely remember one having a class diagram of some subset of this
there was even one about experiments with manual prefetching to make that loop less shitty
tough sierra
The dream.
Been wanting to test some prefetching instructions.
On my old shitty cpu the physics engine I had only simulated 25k moving rectangles, though single threaded, I was expecting 100k using all threads on a quad on low end hardware. But that still doesn't feel as good as whatever the heck factorio did.
Err 25k per tick at 30 ticks a second.
Not even 60 ticks per second.
I just realized the grid system means that their own custom physics can be super optimized for that niche situation.
They could somewhat fake smooth motion through interpolation.
Using a delta.
And the width/height of every physics body could be less than a byte large each.
Wait I just realized vehicles aren't axis aligned, they are convex, I think.
tough sierra
As a more common reference point, if you were the kind of person who took formal proofs in geometry, decided it was mostly trivial, and it was easier to just prove most things from basic principles readily and easily rather than memorizing it, you probably have the logical ability to handle C and C++ well. If it was a struggle at all, you should save yourself the effort and stick with Python or C# (you will never create a program like Factorio in Python though, it is outside the capabilities of the language no matter how good you are with it).
I wonder what formal proofs is.
Sounds like my kind of thing.
Ooooh.
alpine fern
a way to significantly overcomplicate a statement until no one can understand it anymore
tough sierra
Meh the whole math thing escapes me, i'd rather build things out of logic than memorize rules, which seems to be what math is about.
I already brought that whole perspective up way too many times here though.
Was hoping it was something one could use to express a problem in a way that makes sense. Than just a bunch of symbols with no foundation.
I really really really really really hate memorizing stuff without any kind of relational learning.
They started the project with two programmers, then blew into 12 I think.
That's... Insane.
Maybe it was successful because it attracted all the right kind of help.
It seems that programmers are interested in that kind of game in the first place.
You'd never see a solo project like that.
Not even just a solo programmer with help from atrists.

repairness.. of items..

this aint no eazy feat

Is your game have item durability
in fallout weapons getting worse after 100-200 rounds of continues firing same gun, you would need repair kit etc. Some guns more durable needed 400-500 rounds to hit broken state.
north torrent
If it is just another thing that only exists in a menu that gives you more menu work to do, I would cut it.
If you can do something fun with it however, than it is a good idea. How does it add to the game?
vast heron
I would not include weapon breaking mechanics to my FPS game if i'm not going for hyper realism or survival genre
If i was going for hyper realistic than i would physically simulate each bullet exiting barrel with physics motion gasses releasing etc. real time ๐
it would be just gun repairing, dismantling game at that point

Scrolling through a menu isn't hyper realistic.

I like fluffy animals. I would buy your games if you release them on steam

Once Steam drops the cut they ask from developers to 15%.

Do you sell them on Epic Store i have an account there too
north torrent
If Epic wanted my game on their store I would put it on there.
Smaller store means people might actually see my game.

Is Epic selective about games
north torrent
Yes.

You can still sell it on Steam and make GabeN rich thats only alternative

There are a lot of alternatives.

Nobody says you need to even use a store.
I could put my game on The Pirate Bay.

MY LESSON is to neverCRY

Guys can some point me to some good materials (text/video) about difference between AMD Ryzen and Threadripper series in terms of performance? Mostly i see something look a bit marketing tricks like "Threadripper is for content creators", but same time, every performance test which i saw on youtube clearly shows what threadripper have lower performance comparison to ryzen series in most cases (blender, cinema) and i think probably, something like baking lightmaps also would be faster on ryzen series.
In my local shops threadripper are mostly high priced.
The only thing that i know atm is that threadrippers can handle quad channel memory, but im not really sure how much its influence the resulting performance.
Generally, currently threadrippers look nore like marketing trick to me. Im wrong?
rustic gulch
I've got a question I have a laptop i3 with 4gb ram and I wanted to ask can i develop games using this setup? in UE4
north torrent
If you are not so rich that money doesn't matter, just buy a Ryzen.
mossy nexus
That laptop would struggle @rustic gulch
rustic gulch
hmm what can I do then ? gaming laptops are way expensive and I could build a pc but then I can't work with a pc everywhere
mossy nexus
The latest threadrippers eat any kind of rendering you throw at them, but you need to have enough RAM for them to use. But unless you are in a production environment it's overkill. @chilly igloo
rustic gulch
anything you can recommend me? @mossy nexus
at least ?
what type of laptop or pc am I lookin' at to build games
with UE4
mossy nexus
Not really man, you just need to get the best you can afford. Plenty of RAM, decent CPU even the budget Ryzens from AMD would be a massive improvement.
quiet narwhal
spend a billion dollars and you can;'t go wrong, oh it also has to be a mac
mossy nexus
an i3 is pretty far down on the pecking order these days, and only 4GB of RAM isn't much. Once Windows takes it's share you're not left with much.
quiet narwhal
a laptop isnt going to be any different than a desktop in terms of specs to run UE4. Figure out what you want to do in UE4, what specs you need to do that, if you are going to be using it with external accessories, and then find a laptop that hits those needs
rustic gulch
hmm any recommendations on getting a laptop or building a pc what specs am I looking at?
quiet narwhal
that depends on what you are going to be doing
mossy nexus
depends on your budget
rustic gulch
well mostly I wanted to get into level designing
mossy nexus
and wot he said ๐
quiet narwhal
level design doesnt need a ton of cores for example, a good GPU and lots of storage would be paramount along with a large enough screen and resolution
DXR support is also a concern at that point
rustic gulch
hmm
mossy nexus
There are some things that run mostly on CPU and some things that run mostly on the GPU.
rustic gulch
so a computer with a gpu nvidia's 10series and i5 would be fine with 8gb ram?
mossy nexus
So if it's all graphics, materials then GPU is the main thing, but if you're doing stuff with NPCs that have AI and all that funs stuff then CPU is the one.
rustic gulch
and I am more of an Indie dev btw
quiet narwhal
8gb ram is a no go, thats bad..
rustic gulch
so?
rustic gulch
ohh ok
quiet narwhal
16GB is bad enough, infiltrator demo for example barely loads and open world won't
and those are oooooooooolder demos
a 10th gen I5 is fine, a 8th gen or higher I7 is a sweet spot to be honest
raw rose
32gbs required for kite demo
mossy nexus
I had a i7 with 16gb RAM and a 1080Ti, it was fine. Not as fine as the 3700x and 32GB but it was workable ๐
quiet narwhal
yep if you want "just fine" in a laptop find an 8300h with a 1060 and 16gb ram and some nice SSD storage and call it "fine"
next step up would be an 8750/9750h with a 1660ti
after that you get into the new stuff like the 4800 ryzen series with 20x0 cards
in the middle is whats left of Intel and it's newer crap lol
rustic gulch
cool actually i was dying to test out and play with ue4 but i guess i have to wait for a long time lol. those specs are pricey tbh tho
quiet narwhal
well those are comfortable and beyond specs, "it just works" is much lower, you can run it on an integrated I3 if you really wanted to lol
I've got a laptop here with a 10th gen I5 with an integrated G4 gpu and UE4 works well enough on medium settings to get 30fps in a TPP template and it cost me $250 bucks plus $20 for a stick of ram
I mean it's horrible to do real work on but it "works"
mossy nexus
Of course, it also depends where you are in the world.
quiet narwhal
before the virus I would say go used, but even used is getting scarce and newer stuff is getting fairly good and cheap
rustic gulch
hmm
quiet narwhal
If you just want to learn and you lower your expectations, almost anything can work if the gpu is supported. I used an i3 3rd gen for years when UE4 first came out
rustic gulch
hmm cool I think i can wait around a bit maybe save some money to build a pc
for a 18 yr old that's actually difficult but yea that's ok ๐ I have the patience and am wiling to wait and save up

Building a pc is better than using a laptop if you care about game design.

all I am saying is, it took me 93 minutes to fresh build ue4.25 on an i7-4790k @ 4.6ghz. Someone I know took 14 minutes with a ryzen. So production environment or not, you save lifetime.

just not ever noticing mat instructions being calculated is a massive win hehe
fathom wadi
its strange that it's not really raw processing power anymore but availability of cores. I get the soft-cap on silicon based procs + heat transference, but in that sense, slamming down more cores only makes as much sense as applications reach for multi-threading. So it's like the advancement isn't the speed, but the methods. That will be capped out by other influence though.
broken sigil
had to rebuild the engine the other day, it took 18 (ish) minutes on an i9 9900k, ryzen's extra cores really don't make much difference in this case

depends. 4 minutes is a lot and its probably only the shader worker compilers that would stress it. For a big chunk of the compile process its using everything it can for those.

You know what this reminds me of... when AMD released the Thunderbird. Took Intel by surprise. Intel came back. AMD are sometimes what forces the money men to push forward on some RnD to take back the market. And it's always suspicious. Either some hacky workaround/fix, or just raw processing through faster cache or some shit. Then you find out all their procs have a built in security issue and it's hardcoded into the mask rom.

the AI will come with quantum computing. Getting that done in a cheaper method in the home requires installing clean rooms with absolute zero temps in your PC case.

For artists, Unreal hands down. Not even up for debate.

unity
pearl elk
Neither is close to user friendly imo ๐
These types of software packages tend to be bloated, have poor UX and tend to focus on performance over usability
Its like asking if Maya or Zbrush is more user friendly, they are both really difficult to master
Id recommend modding an existing game to people starting out, dont even bother with a full game engine until you can make something

Zbrush is a bit of a different beast.
pearl elk
They all are, if I hadnt used 3dsmax for 20yrs Id be completely lost
They are all beasts that is, big, bulky, hairy, full of bugs
north torrent
With Maya if you really know the software you can generally make something good.
With Zbrush if you don't have the art knowledge from outside the software, no amount of knowing what the buttons do is going to help you.
pearl elk
About the same for any application really, if you cant write a letter outside of Word you wont be able to write one any better inside of Word ๐
north torrent
Zbrush isn't all that bulky compared to something like Maya or Blender or a game engine.
No more than something like Photoshop.
There are a few tools that you can get lost in the depth of.
pearl elk
Sounds like personal bias to me
north torrent
Zbrush simply has a less broad set of things it tries to be.
pearl elk
New users cant find shit in most applications, including photoshop. We just take the ability to boot em up and use em for granted, if youre new, you got alot more to learn than just UE4 or Unity

Where something like Blender tries to be everything.
From an artist perspective I would say start with 3d modeling for at least a year before you start using a game engine.

Cottage Weekend
Rob brings a girl to our annual cottage weekend for the first time in eight years, rounding out our group to an even six. Initially, we are wary of including someone we didnโt quite know, but it isnโt too long before she wins us over with her friendly, laid-back personality. And, as a bonus, sheโs brought with her salted caramel cupcakes, an after-dinner treat that we devour as we sit around a campfire exchanging the scariest stories weโd ever heard.
โYou go first, new girl,โ we encourage.
She shakes her head. โIโd actually like to go last, if you donโt mind. I want to hear all your stories first.โ
Most of the tales are urban legends: โHumans Can Lick, Tooโ; โArenโt You Glad You Didnโt Turn Out the Lightโ; and several versions of a young couple meeting an unfortunate fate while trapped in a car at the dead of night.
Then itโs her turn. โHonestly, stories with blood and gore donโt scare me. Theyโre so over the top, so implausible, that theyโre more ridiculous than they are frightening.
โWhatโs scary to me are the mindfucks,โ she continues, tapping an index finger to her temple. โThe unexpected. The unknown. Not ghosts, mind you, or chain wielding maniacs, but ordinary people like you and I.
โFor example, a stranger spends a weekend at the cottage with her boyfriend and his friends,โ she says as she holds up her uneaten cupcake, โand feeds them some homemade pastries.โ

@dense storm Why was the built in perception a pain?
dim ruin
so I've come to the conclusion that Fuse CC's character UV maps suck because their vertex/edge placement on their meshes sucks asscrack
rather than creating proper faces, they split edges in all these stupid ways that ultimately prevents you from creating any sort of UV layout that would be practical or optimal for production
I made a packed uv layout for legs as example and its so skewed and stretched because of these damn edge forks
