sage tendon
A feature like Play?
zinc matrix
like
killing Remco
oh i know
ill make u low tier enemy npc
Remco
will have same items on as Homeless
sage tendon
Sweet, that would be the second npc based on me
pearl elk
Karol just jelly cuz youre adult enough to not live with your parents 😉
sage tendon
Do you want my IBAN now or later to send the royalties to me?
Would be weird if a parent would live at their parents
pearl elk
grandpapa why does daddy still live at home
sage tendon
Thats why you take a mortgage
pearl elk
MMOs arnt apparently
zinc matrix
lol
sage tendon
How many years are you on this Earth now, @zinc matrix ?
sage tendon
32
north torrent
Karol is 16.
zinc matrix
damn your young remco
sage tendon
Get the book "Java for Dummies" (its really good), then learn how bytes work and how to convert stuff to bytes
sage tendon
It will help you making your MMO a lot
zinc matrix
i can learn how to do it online
sage tendon
The book will guide you, internet is too chaotic without a foundation
north torrent
Physical books are nice.
sage tendon
Besides, its only like 400 pages, can be read in 2 days
tulip orbit
they make physical copies of books now?
sage tendon
Ye its a bit weird tho, there is no scrolling
sage tendon
At first the page flipping feels weird but after a time its not that bad
@zinc matrix sockets communicate using bytes
Its like network communication 101
sage tendon
The most hard requirement for any multiplayer
sage tendon
Its like trying to be a race driver but having only public transport knowledge
zinc matrix
yea but remco
if the framework im using does that for me
then im not sure if it will help me learning that
sage tendon
That unet mirror framework is useless for MMO tbh
sage tendon
@zinc matrix with massive lags and clearly tells that its client broadcasting to clients
tulip orbit
framework "a basic structure underlying a system, concept, or text." keyword, basic. you still need to expand on it, and know how it works
pearl elk
We dont need no ed-u-ca-tion
sage tendon
There is a reason there are no P2P MMO servers
zinc matrix
I guess more family means more people you can borrow money from when you are about to die.
@north torrent my family aren't particularly rich too
zinc matrix
oof
sage tendon
@pearl elk no need to farm gold when you can spawn gold
north torrent
You don't have to be rich to loan me $200 until payday.
zinc matrix
i've been putting off responsibilities, i'll be out for a bit
pearl elk
Id kill my enemies by spawning gold onto of em till they die
north torrent
I didn't mean to imply $45,000,000 loans that you never pay back like Donald T Rump's father.
pearl elk
its some Smaug level shit
zinc matrix
lool
north torrent
Make a gun that shoots money.
zinc matrix
yeh
pearl elk
melt the gold and turn my enemies into statues lining my gold halls
sage tendon
@north torrent be like Italy, demand million euro loans from european countries while annoucing before hand that you refuse to pay back
sage tendon
Never hacked will be hacked in a day
north torrent
Just file for bankruptcy after spending all the money. That's how loans work.
north torrent
Yet they got money back on taxes...
sage tendon
Do they pay tax?
mossy nexus
Elite Dangerous is P2P.
mossy nexus
yup
sage tendon
But not a MMO tho?
mossy nexus
They also use dedicated servers for stuff, but use P2P for client to client networking
Depends on your definition of MMO.
zinc matrix
my biggest concern is to make browser version not lag
mossy nexus
They use instances to handle it. Several thousand playing at once
sage tendon
1 server that holds the persistent world and its data with massive online players?
mossy nexus
are the players massive though? How big does a player have to be to be considered massive?
sage tendon
More than 100kg at least while having a body height of less then 190 centimeters
mossy nexus
That's just fat, not massive
north torrent
The US government pays money to Activision. They have a negative tax.
zinc matrix
you weight over 100kg remco?
you have to be careful to not crush your girlfriend under ur mass
mossy nexus
He waits long time
north torrent
Buy a fan.
zinc matrix
@zinc matrix LMAO
got a fan
i am productive every day
i'm not sure it's doing shit
huh
north torrent
Get a better fan.
zinc matrix
drink water and take cold showers
pearl elk
Get a better Karol
north torrent
Always drink a lot of water.
zinc matrix
cold showers made me a MAN
...what if i don't want to be a man? 🤔
i think i just don't want to think about too much today especially since i received my results (although not finalized) in such a short space of time
north torrent
You can be whatever you want to be, but you should still drink lots of water.
And buy a better fan.
zinc matrix
hmm
you guys need to be careful
cause
some ppl are envious.. and they act like friend
but they no friend
man George Floyd looks like GTA character https://i.imgur.com/0MnQssU.png
pearl elk
I would never be envious of a Unity user
zinc matrix
yes you would
as someone for whom race is a secondary concern for me (especially compared to like gender and my relationship with religion), i'm still not a fan of policing on the grounds of capitalism. not something i want to talk about now though.
i might go grab some water and maybe shower at least. if i do need to redo shit for studies i may lose it
sage tendon
I prefer tug of war instead of a race
pearl elk
I dunno, I always like catamarans, tugs are bit too Dutch for me 😛
tulip orbit
fixed your network security that quick?
pearl elk
Cyberpunk 2077 is closer to release tbh 😛
tulip orbit
steam sale starts soon too, makes me sad cause I have no money 😦
zinc matrix
UAUAUAUAU
watch me drowning in fame
@tulip orbit im not gonna touch network security for now
pearl elk
Karol can buy you gifts from all those MMO sales
zinc matrix
it will be free to play
tulip orbit
then you shouldnt release a mmo game
pearl elk
free servers yay
zinc matrix
compiling
dont u guyss feel like lounge was more alive 2 yrs ago
what happened..
chat ded..
all banned..
pearl elk
Nah people gave up on lounge
zinc matrix
why
pearl elk
maybe cuz of people using 5 lines to say what could be said on 1, its really hard to follow chat when its constantly being shifted up out of view
zinc matrix
cope lmao
pearl elk
I wish discord would bring it back so blocked messages take no space
zinc matrix
and here i thought we were friends
tulip orbit
I've never really liked blocking users, cause then you get half-sided conversations, and I'm stuck wondering who the person is talking to
pearl elk
I really dont like blocking people but some are too dense, you can be polite as you like but some will always be hostile or just ignorant
woohoo 1 minute 🙂
pearl elk
woah partnership with Netflix 😮
north torrent
You are working for Netflix now?
pearl elk
nope, Cyberpunk is getting a standalone Netflix series
they said anime so not live action Id assume
north torrent
I thought it was going to be an anime about Mr. Olympus...
pearl elk
that was a pretty cool stream, much better than that crap EA did
not a single fake plaid shirt 😛
Having gameplay when youre talking about games helps alot hehehe
pearl elk
Well if stories need game things I think games need them too
solid aurora
I cant get over Cyberpunk beign FPP
I cant watch my character ass
where is my fun ? ;o
pearl elk
you get to see other peoples asses when you boink em
I love me some sweet clicker ass hehe
solid aurora
by i made my character ass
fluid bloom
you can't watch your character's ass?
that's why you play as a woman 😛
or man, whatever floats your boat
pearl elk
Ellie told me to stop starin at her arse cuz Im a bloke
tulip orbit
steam sale is up 😭
foggy path
pearl elk
you mean steam regular sale prices are over 😛
tulip orbit
temporarily
pearl elk
inflated prices for a few weeks
north torrent
Why get something 80% off on Steam when Epic will give it to you for free?
tulip orbit
so valve has enough money to make HL3
sage tendon
watch me drowning in fame
Well, fame work both ways
primal spoke
I'm back.
pearl elk
Is there enough money in the world to make HL3?
sage tendon
Until Valve make a "new" engine, they wont need a tech demo so no HL3
pearl elk
Source 3 😮
fathom wadi
I dont get what's hard about making HL3. All they need to do is update the graphics, then release another tech demo. Don't even need much of a story until the DLC.
sage tendon
Valve isnt a game devoper
pearl elk
but but the voice actor for Gordon Freeman died 🤣
sage tendon
They are a software house
fathom wadi
@sage tendon Neither are Ubisoft.
I mean, dont need to be a game dev to make a game. It doesn't even help to be a game dev when making a game. Better to be a money sink and publisher :p
foggy path
That's interesting
I hope his character isn't too.. out of place
having watched some of Jesse's videos in the past he kinda sticks out lol
zinc matrix
FULL TIME COPE
rich quiver
cohh is part of main story but jesse is big side mission
sage tendon
breaking bad?
abstract sigil
Hi, sorry for disturbing. Maybe someone wants to sell Wii U? My friend want to buy one.
fathom wadi
Welcome to the Ebay channel. Please check the latest bids in the #shopping channel
abstract sigil
Nice joke. 👌
But anyway.
sage tendon
well, its a global community here, i think you need to specify your location a bit
abstract sigil
Friend in Russia.
thorny dock
sorry my WiiU is the Zelda Windwaker limited edition, your going to have to pry it off of my cold dead...
haha but in all seriousness if you pay for shipping I do have a friend I could ask..
oh im in the US though thats going to be some hefty shipping

yea i bet u can get some from closer
sage tendon
just for awareness, consoles used to be region locked (dunno if its still a thing, but better be informed than not)

finished watching "ad astra" depressive and gloomy atmosphere
I haven't seen such mood in big movies for a long time. I like it

carmine frigate
and the online stuff doesnt work anymore
i cant post my doodles anymore 😦
also if ur controller breaks u cant get a new1
well the wiimotes are still sold, the wiiU motes are more rare than the consoles
they were never sold seperate
mild root
man
thorny dock
yeah you should definitely have him check closer, a long time ago one of my friends got an old GPU from a generous reddit user on pcmasterrace, so I'm all about helping out if I can.
Yeah when they pulled the wii u online services it was a very sad day
i miss the 4k doodles people would make
carmine frigate
yea kids can make some cool stuff, straight to the heart
thorny dock
i've tried drawing on that thing, if these studios are looking for concept artist they should have just been cold friending people on wii u network hahaha
carmine frigate
also not as salty as most online places 😛
thorny dock
exactly, they were great about creating a great community atmosphere. opening the weather or clock app whatever it was, and being able have the globe constantly showing you what time it is around the earth with the relaxing music, just made you feel more connected to the world

full compiled source engine uses 160gb(ish)

Epic launcher is all messed up again
launcher app keeps looping on redirecting and opens web browser that says it does the same and browser just keeps refreshing the page every second 😄

all these free games
i never will play them 😄
i just get them cause i can
waiting for the new Flight Simulator
dense storm
hi new to UE4 👋
timber harness
XD
stiff crystal
c++ and bp
dense storm
use them both!
dense storm
a good person will use C++ and BP together
timber harness
will watch it bro
stiff crystal
I'd always suggest to learn BP first on UE4 (don't jump in the deep end with UE4's c++ api first)
timber harness
do big companies like Epic games , use Bp and C++ as well?
stiff crystal
yes
timber harness
but isnt it a terrible idea to use BP for complex data structures
dense storm
lot of the gameplay designers don't touch C++ and do it all in BP
dense storm
we as C++ programmers, do heavy lifting in c++ and expose what is needed to BP for the gameplay team
this means we don't have to do everything
timber harness
ahh , soo c++ is like the performance part right?
stiff crystal
most of the gameplay code you'll write will not require complex data structures
timber harness
bad c++ code = low fps, right?
stiff crystal
you can write stupid code regardless the language
stiff crystal
one thing to note is that unreal doesn't expose everything on BP
stiff crystal
but that's not a big deal, you can make your own BP nodes for things that are missing
there's also BP nativization but it has it's limitations where it works
when it does, it's pretty good tho
I've had great success with it myself
dense storm
and the code is not optimized as good as you can do if you wrote it yourself in C++ tho
ie it will try its best, but its not the best/cleanest code
dense storm
but as your new to UE4, i would use BP, understand how things work and link together, how the engine works
then start dabbling with C++
stiff crystal
but for example, on my old rig, I got gameplay physics code go from 7ms to well under 1ms just by enabling BP nativization on one of my projects
dense storm
@stiff crystal i am not saying it doesn't work, i am just saying if you wrote it yourself it could be cleaner and you never know could be a tad faster.
stiff crystal
sure
I'd have very different reasons to pick c++ or BP from a person who just starts out though
timber harness
I think i might just be able to make a game by the time i turn 15
stiff crystal
just start with BPs
stiff crystal
it'll make you understand the engine workflows
timber harness
just start with BPs
@stiff crystal Will do
Good for you
i guess i will learn a little more c++
before getting into UE4
probably a week more
dim ruin
I'm the opposite. I've been a programmer for a long time and I look at blueprints like "wtf is this nonsense". Most of it is straight forward but certain things like loops are just fucked
broken sigil
Prototyped a graph plotting system the other day in BPs just as a test, it was eating around 5ms with 200 points in the graph.... Recreated pretty much the exact same thing again in C++ and it dropped down to basically nothing
That's how slow BPs can be in some cases
tulip orbit
I'd just go cry in a corner
I dunno how c++ components work, but I've had blueprint callable functions in c++ and they work great, no problems
broken sigil
There is still a small overhead of actually calling that node but it's much faster than doing the whole calculation in BPs
tulip orbit
eventually I plan on converting more of my dungeon generator to c++
why google when you can just ask in here? 😄
I always give accurate answers.
foggy path
same problem^
my questions are always about something so obscure that only some sort of guru would know
like what's an AI Hotspot Manager? Who knows!
Google doesn't, or maybe I'm real bad at it
Yeah I just saw it in the project settings...
:D
Then there's stuff like... AI Tasks and Gameplay Tasks, which seem to relate to telling AI's to do... stuff? Somehow?
or maybe it was Pawn Tasks? I don't know
anyway at least for gameplay tasks I think the C++ source exists and might explain it based on what little I've learned so far
oh yeah I haven't even looked at C++ for any of it lol
but the things I just mentioned seem to only really exist on the C++ side
pawn tasks / gameplay tasks sounds like something that might help you queue up tasks on an AI controller which is something I might need to do in my game so I'm probably going to have to look into it just to make sure I'm not gonna reinvent the wheel too much :P
yeah
all of this stuff is like 4-6 years old and yet seems to not really exist at least in terms of documentation or any information
I think I saw a forum thread saying Fortnite uses gameplay tasks? So I guess those systems work but they never bothered to document them..
dim ruin
Is Rider free? I've heard of it but figured it was just another flavor of the week. Theres a LOT of IDEs now
Auto include headers sounds nice.
mint onyx
rider is still throwing F A T A L E R R O R for me
dim ruin
well, that scared me away
lol
We get enough problems with VS
I'm actually finally considering getting VAX.
mint onyx
like this
dim ruin
Normally, Intellisense works terrific for me but every once in a while either Epic or MS does something that fucks it all up for UE4
tired of that shit
mint onyx
similar behavior is observed with rider
it seems like once a certain file is reached the entire system breaks down
dim ruin
Oh, its by JetBrains
They make CLion too?
I only really knew of IntelliJ for their IDEs (which is great for Java btw)
Never tried ReSharper for c++
plucky pagoda
Finnaly found a switch without markup. Gamestop had them in stock for a short time online.
Is Rider for UE public now?
mint onyx
https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/unreal/
still in preview
north torrent
I just made a meme using a Nintendo Switch...
plucky pagoda
cool
had to buy a bundle with 3 games and a controller but all of them were things I'd buy anyway
I love their IDEs

oh man this is awesome:
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/uiws-unified-interactive-water-system
no gerstner waves out of the box but even just for still water, rivers and waterfalls looks great. heavy price tag though
pearl elk
Heavy is an understatement
sage ermine
pearl elk
The PS5s SSD isnt even 1TB
sage ermine
Should fit 3 rocks and a 2 foot patch of grass from quixel
pearl elk
825GB and it doesnt mention anything about that being the formatted size
I can fit around 8 games max on my 1TB PS4 slim
mild root
games weight more but don't become that much better
console games is another story
they often have a tradeoff of data compressing and data load speed
with nextgen adoption of ssd, things are going to get worse
I doubt that even promised hardware decompessing will outspeed uncompressed data read
dim ruin
oh noes. Something changed in the github layout and it feels weird
must have been a ninja update. it wasn't there an hour or two ago
pearl elk
MS is selling Github to Facebook thats why tehehe
dim ruin
this pushed the left margin over and its really fucking with me lol
ms isn't really selling gitub are they? they just bought it. it still has the new car smell
pearl elk
I see what you mean and nah I was just pulling your leg, after Mixer though who knows 😛
dim ruin
Just looking at the list of facebook acquisitions and I had no idea they own WhatsApp
they own a lot of weird stuff
lol reading the descriptions of half the companies listed start off as <insert name here> was a company that... lol
moral of the story, if facebook buys your employer, start packing
pearl elk
yeah they bought up all the competing chat apps they could
dim ruin
says they only buy companies for their talent, not the company. Its their version of premium recruiting
pearl elk
lol they would say that cuz they dont want to come across as intimidated by instagram, whatsapp etc 😛
You'd be kicking yourself for being the person who sold facebook.com to thefacebook for $200k lol
dim ruin
no doubt
pearl elk
wheres mah royalties bishes

still a solid haul for just a domain
most cybersquaters are lucky to only get a few thousand

The 100% Australian Beef Cheeseburger is a lie...
pearl elk
It is if youre in China
You know I will say this about Last of Us 2, I thought there would be alittle more game in this game 😛
north torrent
I thought there would be a little more burg in this burger.
pearl elk
least its not a shitburg
north torrent
I think AAA studios that add story at the expense of game give the people trying to make story based games a bad name.
But I guess I don't mind it. The lower people's expectations the easier it is to please them.
north torrent
Glad I am not the insurance company.
pearl elk
I'll add this one to my list of cars not to have an accident with 😛
fringe sundial
Police state the Lamborghini had stopped on the side of the road due to a mechanical fault, when it was hit from behind by a van.
poor guy
it wasnt even the fault of the driver
pearl elk
Id say by mechanical fault he was fiddling with the cars infotainment to try to tweak the drive settings
north torrent
Rich people have insurance and don't even have to worry about the consequences of their actions or bad luck.
pearl elk
somehow I doubt the vans third party would cover it so lets hope it was insured by the owner

Theres a link on that page to a Porsche Taycan which got written off in 25kms too

They think about how great it is to have a lot of money.
But I can just hitch-hike to space.
zinc matrix
that was not shit talk
zinc matrix
what is this tech, btw?
north torrent
Space microphones and space speakers that go in space helmets.
zinc matrix
i'm also thinking about fandom ships right now because of something i've seen on my tumblr. anti-shippers do have legitimate reasons to oppose shipping i have to say (because some fan pairings can be downright abusive or even pedophilic)
fapdom ships?
what is that
oh, probably a thing for Mao
north torrent
Well, as the writer/developer of characters all you can really do is control the content on your official website.
Can't do much about what people beyond that do.
zinc matrix
broo
is that related to anime
i'm reading a lot of shit about a show called miraculous ladybug because apparently it's abusive
north torrent
Never heard of it.
zinc matrix
it's a show 2010s kids are into
north torrent
I'm old.
Like really old.
Like old enough to be Mr. Olympus' father, and Mr. Olympus is really old.
zinc matrix
anyway, regardless of the show i find myself having some opinions with the phenomenon
Mao
million year old?
zinc matrix
if you are in age of Olympus father...
then its like 60
and i admit it is linked to gender issues, yes. this could be for a show in the 80s too but i didn't exist in the 80s.
zinc matrix
like idk, she-ra; i'm not into this show or its remake but i've glanced through a lot of discourse about it
people hate new she-ra because apparently she-ra looks like a man; other fans think old she-ra was too sexualized (bearing in mind children's cartoons from the fucking 80s were designed to sell merch)
pearl elk
You dont think heman looks like a ladyboy there? 😛
north torrent
I for one think that the idea that every character in every media ever has to have some sort of romance arc is quite damaging to the development of children.
Not all children start wanting to pursue that kind of thing at the same time, some people never do.
But I think the lack of stories without romance arcs and the 'shipping' you speak of makes the kids and even adults who don't have that same desire to be 'with' someone else feel like there is no place for them in the fantasy of games, movies, books, and whatever the hell else.
So I try to have a majority of my characters to be asexual for all practical purposes. 98% of the time it isn't mentioned of part of the story at all, only one time has it ever been a plot point to how a character in a story I wrote developed. @zinc matrix
zinc matrix
@pearl elk its what makes him look good
pearl elk
androgyny was pretty big pre 80s too, I guess it comes in cycles like everything else
north torrent
Pretty much. It has off and on been the cool thing since humans existed...
zinc matrix
my reason for even liking shows that feature romantic relationships is because i wanted to find excuses to like being a guy (although i doubt i'm cisgender, it wasn't until relatively recently this was obvious to me). and yes, some of those ships can be problematic too.
i've seen miraculous ladybug criticized for the forced romance arc and how adrien is recently just psychologically fucking around with marinette.
north torrent
I'm not against romance or anything like that. I just think that media doesn't seem to respect long term platonic friendships in the way that it should.
Like that time Captain America betrayed all his long time good friend because his abusive boyfriend was paranoid about some random shit.
pearl elk
Well its like True Blood, the ending of that is everyone ends up with the perfect partner the end, what a load of shit... apparently being happily single isnt anyones dream
north torrent
I'm not saying Captain America can't have a boyfriend... just that he shouldn't betray all his good friends.
pearl elk
He does though... Bucky 😛
zinc matrix
captain america was gay?
it makes money and some people have bad take on relationships too. skimmed past a post about how romantic comedies won't age well in this day and age - let's say ross geller and rachel green, as to why
north torrent
Bucky is his abusive boyfriend that I was referring to.
zinc matrix
that's how the dynamic is like
boys
i stopped watching tv 17 years ago
i swear
because computer was better than it back then
so i just spent my free time on pc
i got into an animated series properly like in 2018. computer is better but i don't want to miss out on shit from the 2000s.
north torrent
I just want a better balance between characters that are in love and characters that are too busy trying to... well... save the world or pay his/her bills or run from an evil mad scientist to want to have a romance at that point in time.
zinc matrix
i want more gender non-conforming men who aren't either villains or supporting or minor characters
north torrent
I don't know what that all means, but if you want to make it then go for it.
pearl elk
Drama shows are the worst IMO, I just cant handle all the dialog and then suddenly they bone and its like wtf wheres the foreplay, you had hours of pointless dialog and not a single smooth line to ease into the bonk scene... which is really just someone coming out of the shower in a towel
zinc matrix
i'm looking to but i've got no inspiration for now. not to mention i will have to end up worrying about my future pretty fucking soon. i just want to think about other things because they're sometimes less painful
north torrent
It frustrates me that in many of the games I play most of the best dialogue between characters is hidden behind the romance wall.
You have every right to not romance anyone in the game, but then you don't get any of the best dialogue.
There isn't a point where you can get deep dialogue scenes with someone who you aren't romantically involved with.
pearl elk
Andromeda is like that
zinc matrix
don't get me started on defiance. i follow few games for the lore only. defiance has been one of them but i'm pissed they ditched the TV format entirely
the game looks like shit, sometimes has deliberately terrible difficulty and doesn't tell the story as well as the TV series did even though I never saw said TV series
north torrent
As far as your future and being creative goes, I personally recommend first finding a way to make money and then worrying about fulfilling your creative desires.
But feel free to ignore me.
zinc matrix
i want to be the person i envy before i hit 30. i'm 22 but time goes very quickly
north torrent
Mass Effect is like that to an extent, Mr. Olympus, but actually better than most. Mass Effect still has great character development for characters you are never involved with, whether it be the 1200 year old Krogan or weird dude that drives the ship.
zinc matrix
there's like this cisgender lesbian online i envy who makes $100k a year. she knows how to write c++, works in IT and does adult entertainment videos too
she's not much older or younger than me
pearl elk
I just wish the gameplay reflected the same as the dialog, I didnt like that all the AI helpers gained XP just the same. I woulda thought using a character more would bias them towards you and things like that
You can romance a character and never spend much time with em which makes little sense
zinc matrix
Even if I had tons of money I have other issues too to deal with.
north torrent
Mass Effect could be better in many, many ways, but it isn't as bad as a lot of the other stuff I have played trying to find games like it...
pearl elk
Yeah it atleast attempts those directions where many games dont
north torrent
Money doesn't make you happy, Suspicion, but it does take one extra stress off your back so you can focus on other things better.
Like lets say I am really fat and I want to lose weight.
If I am worried about how I am going to pay my bills it is going to be hard for me to just stop on concentrate on my workout and diet... But if I have money that is one less thing to worry about and I can focus on the task at hand.
Life will never be easy, but having a steady paycheck is a big help at letting you move to the next boss battle.

Money does allow you to take risks too
Well take risks and survive, buying a parachute before you jump off a hirise is a good idea 😛

But at one time I actually planned out a whole system on paper with how the squad mates would react based on whether or not you trusted them to perform hard tasks during missions or you brought them in your squad. Some characters like the Turrians and Krogans would always want to be out fighting while others wouldn't care as much.
But being ignored would eventually be bad for all of them.

I have relationships to worry about too, yes. Because of personal issues I don't feel willing to get a job. I want to see a therapist but lockdown still being in place makes it difficult to reach them
north torrent
Well, I have never had the option to not have a job, so I can't help you there.

Thought about getting benefits but that may complicate my relationship with family further

I have never had the option to get assistance from the government, so I can't help you there either.
I honestly think that working until the point where I was about to drop was one of the more helpful things for my mental state when I was struggling.

get assistance from the government sounds like a side quest

I tried that in Star Citizen but then I realized there is no government until patch 3.45.4444.556.767

Division of labor is a necessity to keep a society running.
Otherwise we could all live independently, but life would be much more rough as we would have to do all the tasks for our self and the quality of live would be lower.
north torrent
Do it!

I will, just as soon as I complete Last of Us 2 🙂

Without division of labor you would have to build Last of Us 2 before you could play it.
That is after you built your Playstation.

I've seen some sources argue it's more ethical - if you're not interested in it, why should you be forced to making it?
Or coerced?
I could go on about this but I'm just feeling bummed out about what I've read and the fact someone isn't answering my calls

I suppose I could always go out in the paddock and pretend the cows are clickers

There really is no valid argument that people should be able to just not work if they don't want to...
You can either work as part of society or you can be a survivalist and do all the work for yourself, which will also be very hard.
I'm all for fighting the man and standing up for workers rights. Fair pay for a hard days work and all that.
But people have to contribute to society.

You can set them to show only on the axis view you want (i.e. for profiles) and all kinds of stuff. More artists need to pay attention to silhouettes of the various profiles anyway.
ah, OIC but not drag and drop
They should make a rule right now for the marketplace to not allow creators to differentiate assets simply by adding an 01, 02 ,03 to the asset title
yeah, idk
I doubt it since image files can have so many varrying uses. You might be able to drag it to the source of an image in the details pane
Unity has some assets that are like UI Cool 01, .... UI Cool 10,001

peta is killing animals. good or bad?
tulip orbit
bad because they're not doing it for food, but for whatever BS reason they've cooked up
Peta: Lets save the animals, by killing them!
zinc matrix
@tulip orbit did you just say killing sick animals is bad, and killing a bit more healthy(just a tiny bit more and full with food and hormonse) animals for your own pleasure is good?
sage tendon
Reminds me to get some meat to BBQ tomorrow

actually sick animals? not bad. Killing animals for food and survival? Good and normal part of earth's ecosystem.
yeah I'm hungry for some hot dogs now

for my survival I do

PETA kill animals regardless if they are sick or not. They have a really bad policy on how long to keep an animal if 'rescued'

sage tendon
Eat them so it dont go to waste
zinc matrix
@sage tendon 1 animal needs a lot more plants than you.
sage tendon
@zinc matrix you eat plants too right?
zinc matrix
so if you eat animals you kill the air-improvers
tulip orbit
stop eating plants! You're eating my foods food!
sage tendon
So if we eat up all animals, more plants survive? Is that your point?
zinc matrix
yes.
sage tendon
So we all should eat meat then
zinc matrix
as you said, eat them al up, this means not making them again
sage tendon
Better be sure there are enougj for everyone and grow them!

I would assume the PC version is the standard, and the reason they get this upgrade is because the current gen console versions aren't up to par

I cannot understand the love for steaks. It's just... okay, imo. I also enjoy my meat well-done.
Hamburgers are the superior form.
thorny dock
I also enjoy my meat cooked
not raw in the middle
but butter on steaks is where its at
hence the jack in the box buttery jack attempt
dim ruin
Steaks I like medium-rare but they've gotta know how to cook it. Marinate with sauce and spices for at least a few hours, overnight preferred. Then when you cook it, don;t fuck with it. Just cook it, flip it once and thats it.
If you see someone poking at the steak as its cooking or pressing it to make it sizzle, slap them

I've got so many untouched games on my humble 😦

Yeah me too
even with all the recent pausing.
too many games coming up that I've already got or are on gamepass.
static cosmos
and that too.
I was only interested in felix the reaper and men of war, but i have like 90% of that bundle already, and reaper is on game pass. I just forgot to pause it. I typically leave it active in case I need the 20% discount
tulip orbit
I'm unemployed so I should probably pause it till I'm working again :/
static cosmos
That makes it tough
tulip orbit
on one hand, cheap games! on the other, most of I dont/wont play
thorny dock
glad to see you posting keys here where someone will actually get them, instead of posting on reddit where the g2a bots will nab it
static cosmos
I don't think G2A bots are grabbing them on reddit. They can't reserve them. The only thing they could do is redeem them to an account and the only way to resell would be if they sold the whole steam account.
thorny dock
g2a was an assumption, but on r/randomactsofgaming there are absolutely bots that will grab keys when they are posted, and comment automatically when they use the giveaway bot, but I can't speak for any other groups
but then again that same sub my friend got a GPU from a user there a long time ago lol so you never know I guess
static cosmos
it doesn't matter who grabs them, if you redeem it, you can't resell it without selling the steam account. There is no way to put the key back out there. Some people may use bots, but they're only using them for themselves.
I used to get a bunch of free game keys around..hmm.. 1-2 years ago or so. You had to be fast though. If you got there 10-15 minutes after it was posted, it was going to be gone.
I post them here because I get a lot from this discord and just want to share it with the people here.

Can someone explain exactly, why too little volume leads to decreasing strength?
It's not just that the reps ain't increasing, but some trainees get weaker if they don't have enough volume. Everything looked good, and then suddenly, strength drops. And this holds on for weeks and months, if they don't add volume. Adding intensity doesn't help em. With this reps just go down and down until you can't do anything.
I can't imagine why ones reps might go down when too little volume is applied, even if you use high intensity, and increase it regularly, one still would not get stronger if one doesn't increase the volume.

I have no idea what any of that means.

Its made for xbox, pc
4.20/21/22/23/24? but there are issues here and there depending on things

MS should have dropped 32bit support with Win 10 but I guess they had to give all those Win 98 a users an excuse to upgrade 😛
agile egret
You mean win 8? 7? Vista? XP? 2000? (then 98)
xD
Well, just for the sake of easier memory management, you want 64 bit in todays games
Anyone asking for a 32 bit game, is making a platformer
pearl elk
You might just have to tell them you wont support 32bit ever
agile egret
Well, its not off the table
pearl elk
Break their little 32bit heart 😛
agile egret
Yea break it into 8 bit pieces
pearl elk
Your game fits into less than 4GB of RAM? 😮
Infact the budget would be far less because Win10 has reserved RAM
probably lookin at like 2.7GB tops, thats without anything else running
pearl elk
so make a 32bit exe that says, sorry you need a 64bit machine 😛
