or russia still annexing ukraine
Or the terrorist attacks on Iranian government officials.
Uranium government officials ๐ฎ
Okrainian Uvernment Gofficials
Scofficials
If it was "paid" I wouldn't have mentioned it, but no, it's royalties ๐
oh yeah the "Let's install a dictator to ensure we get lithium"
wish I got royalties on lithium sales
I wish I got royalties on Boe Jiden.
Trump doesnt support royalties, he just pinches all his campaign music off youtube
Art isnt a real business anyways
thats fake news from CNN
If I got paid a royalty for every time someone sued him for using their music, I would be able to afford to bribe Okranian Uvernment Gofficials.
you might be able to afford Chernobyl soon
then we can host the first real life hunger games
Didn't some Reagan related org ask him to stop using Reagan's picture or something in his campaigning lol
I wonder if anything's gonna come of that one...
Trump was all like but I invented the rayguns with my Space Farce
Ronald Reagan's daughter has done nothing but attack tRump and has fought to keep her fathers name not associated at all with the campaign.
And Space Force was already a copyrighted name, and that is currently another lawsuit.
We need the netflix of lawsuits
How can anyone run in Yeezeys, have you see those junkers
But there are several organizations formed by people working in the Reagan, Bush, and other Bush administrations that are completely anti-tRump.
And if you aren't familiar with US political parties, those are all the Republican presidents leading up to tRump... the party that tRump runs as.
Back in 2016 every former US president still alive got together to try to stop tRump. Presidents from both political parties.
Republican, thats the party which supports family values but is full of people who have been remarried atleast twice right?
Have you ever seen the Republican Jesus video?
I support the BJs in the oval office party
I mean that sounds like an actual party right
What if Jesus, but GOP.

This basically sums it up in a short video.
Hngh why are there such arbitrary limitations on uobjects in BP's
I was thinking of how to do separate attack types for some of my npc's and thinking oh yeah I'll just make a separate object so it's easy to choose what attack and what it does
but then I remember you can't even do a line trace in a plain uobject...
Why can't the Gizmo work something like this? The number of times I've accidentally grabbed the wrong handle because the one I need is behind everything...
Or better yet, something like this where it's always facing the camera
Since that first one looks too confusing
@foggy path its the way the system is designed, uobjects dont exist in the world so there is no world object for them to do a line trace with
any reason the attack object cannot just be data only?
Yeah I figured there was some kind of architectural reason for it :) I think you can still trace in C++ tho but you need to get a world ref to do so? Anyway thanks for the explanation, I was kind of wondering about that the last time I ran into it and no one really seemed to know what was up with it
I guess it could be data only, I have to think about how the different attack types are going to function
There's gonna be a little bit of variation on how they function but I could probably parametrize them without it becoming too confusing
If you check up the hierarchy a uobject will typically have an Actor somewhere you can use to do actor things
It sounds like you might want to be using a component though if its an Actor ability
Components are their own can of worms
I guess it could have a component per attack type in the BP and the specific component is just called to handle it
Well I was thinking more of a single component which handles your objects, then you have access to the owning actor of the component fairly cleanly
ah
yeah that would make sense but I don't think my system is going to be quite that complicated :)
it's mostly just gonna have differences regarding how many linetraces are done per attack, bullet deviation from aim point, damage, maximum distance and such... so it's fairly easy to just have as data only
sounds and particle fx as well but same with those, can put them in a data only thinger
Epic Launcher is such a shit
WTF there is captcha if I have 2FA already? 3FA?
And WTF it said that signing failed and then it logged like nothing happened?
How many Epic programmers are required to make a proper working launcher?
it's pretty bizarre
it's not even doing anything particularly complicated
and I know this because I've done these types of web based apps for like 20 years almost... :D
I've started adding default values to my enums that have no meaning just because editing maps with enum keys is such a pain lol
literally just have a value NOT_SET as the first/default for all my enums so that if I uset it as a key in a map, I don't have to deal with the editor not letting me add new values
:P
I wonder if it would be hard to fix this...
Might be fun to just see how the editor code is set up for this and just fix it
it can't be that complicated... can it? ๐ค
Im so sick of being logged out all the time and even though I have remember my login clicked it never does
I'm sure that it can be that complicated. I was going to look at changing some stuff for the blueprint UI because I really don't like the visuals or the lack of node alignment... I opened up Visual Studio, started looking for stuff, and a part of my brain just screamed at me; I closed it, stared at my desktop for a full minute, and then went back to working on input handling.
:D
I mean it already has like 95% of the logic
It knows what values are in the enum, it's just not smart enough to pick another value from the enum as the default if the first one already exists
3
I seem to recall that a lot of the enum handling has just always had some weird behavior in general
I haven't really noticed anything particularly weird about it, it's just the default value handling when using enums as keys in maps which is a bit wonky :)
I've just been getting back into working with Unreal after quite a while away, so I can't remember specifics.
I have only the thumbnail and it's already upsetting
Gamer Dude
As long as Karol isn't the environment artist of said gamer world.
Dont need no plastic when you got instafilters
Though I guess if I was in Karol's gamer would I could use his lack of security to easily get $100,000,000,000 of gamer money...
I think I will upgrade to 4.25, so that I can use niagara for particle effects... instead of using the older system
but first, I must clean up some assets in the project....
no opposition to the idea?
Heavy opposed
why?
hoorah for ForceDelete
You cannot delete me
I can try!
This is why nobody likes you.
This is why nobody likes you.
why
Because everyone swipes right for a fence
between people insulting and looking down on others all the time
and people writing asdasdasd for no reason
i'd friends with people writing asdasdasd any time
but when pizza is on a bagel, you can have pizza any time.
Who thinks gameplay is better than story for a successful game?
That's a loaded and highly dependent question
Quixel gives you the wood and the nails, Mr. Hevedy. You just have to build your own fence out of it.
I only track time for client work. It's necessary because I generally bill by the hour.
For personal projects, I only track tasks, not time.
Anything that's not client work.
Oh, I mean I track tasks in apps like Trello, Notion, etc. Honestly, I track just about everything but time.
Not sure if I'm a model citizen there, but it just seems to work for me.
It depends on the scope of the project. If it's a very small project that will get done in a few days and require little marketing, I tend to use simple todo lists with no extra details. If it's a larger project, like a game or similar, I tend to get more granular. On Trello, for example, I like to use 4 lists: Up Next, Development, Review, and Completed. Tasks move from left to right as they progress.
Yes, especially when collaborating with my partner. It provides a single place where we can both easily see where we're at and what's on each other's plates, which minimizes the need to have meetings.
We communicate well, too. We work in the same office. ๐
But it's very helpful, if not important, to have a place we can point to that isn't affected by memory slips, bad days, etc.
Sure thing.
Re: version control, I use GitHub for small personal projects and Perforce for client work and my one larger team project.
I just use a Pomodoro timer for my daily work hours and then the software tracks the hours.
I think having a schedule and knowing when I worked and didn't helps, but I don't spend too much time worrying about it.
It is more just a way to motivate myself when working at home.
I didn't get anything out of tracking my entire day. I could see a breakdown of how long I spent working on what, watching YouTube, or whatever else, but I didn't have anything to do with it. And also the part where time and progress aren't associated linearly.
You can spend hours on something and not really get anywhere... or maybe it's the ten minutes in a drive through that leads to you realizing, "Oh, shit. I'm an idiot. Here's how I should [insert thing here]."

Any good buys on SSDs?
well if you believe the marketing talk buy a bunch of ps5s and take the ssds out
I don't recall anything being stated which applied to the drives themselves.
ow thats basically all a heared about the ps5s
the ssd is super great and better than anything pc has to offer atm
hmm i dunno , didnt really look into
i do believe this time 4k is actually 4k tho
It's a custom drive but there's more to it than just the drive itself.
he started smoking crack and doin callgirls ๐
otherwize hes gunna build more rigs
his thumbnails make me die inside
agreed
I like their thumbnails and dumb humor; especially Linus' terrible segues.
I was never the biggest fan of Linus. One of the guys that works/ed for him was all right though. Instead, I'll occasionally watch JayzTwoCents or Gamer's Nexus if I want to see way more bar graphs than I'll probably care about.
Then again, I'm a lot less enthusiastic about tech at this point.
Thanks for reminding me that I need to terminate some ethernet runs still
At least I already ran the cabling before it was about 1000 degrees in the attic
Just switched from Google Chrome to Brave. Soooooo much faster and responsive.
I went from Chrome to Vivaldi to Brave. The one thing I miss is functional sync between devices
(Also not a huge fan of their purple to orange gradients)
what are they
it just says that pending restart variable is 1
also already installed on visual studio
.net framework 4.8 SDK
Should I watch Unreal videos on my computer monitor or on my TV?
I have a sofa in both rooms...
ษ
I cant wait to watch Linus go grey and get the dad bod like Jayz ๐
woah man this is reminding me why I hate building PCs
The runny nose struggle is real here
Its too real for realism
So now its realismism

@pearl elk i too getting a dad bod but I no dad
Are you sure it's not a driver issue? I use PS4 Dual Shock controllers almost exclusively for my testing.
@plucky pagoda nah
I am using Android
The "fixes" for windows, there are a few
workarounds really
Nothing for Android and probably iOS
Feel like this could be handled easily by UE4's input system though
Using a Dual Shock via bluetooth on android?
I'm going to watch Star Wars.
may the force be with you
HEHEHE
converted project to 425, got it to compile in VS, but now i"m seeing some fun errors in the log as it loads up ๐
would load faster if VS would stop parsing the solution...
whatever the fuck that means
You don't have to wait for parsing to finish to do anything.
Guys, does someone know what happened with Ryan Brucks blog? Look like all text are missing โน๏ธ
Looks broken, maybe something wrong with his CMS?
maybe send him an email or tweet, possible he hasn't noticed
I haven't tried playing with collisions yet.
I know, snow without collisions is so 2010... But it is just a prototype... I'll make it look pretty toward the end of the development cycle.
The snow goes through my houses, yes.
But I am just blocking things out to get a general idea of what all is going into the scene.
mao do u have covid
No, that's not really a thing here right now.
I ain't nobody got time for that.
its ok if you got rejected in the past
its not your fault
always can try again

Anyone who has ever had a woman in their life knows that there is a certain time commitment involved. Some people find the trade off worth it, some people don't.
okok
Only Incels think that a woman will just automatically make their lives better and that every male in the human race must be out looking for females.
That was the intent.
my sock too tight
help me
apparently
Google shows my game has 3200 links from Reddit
eaeem
did you buy spambots
As long as you keep going 'eaeem' all the time, I hope your game drops in the Google ratings until nobody can find it ever again.
my website only has 142 links on reddit rip.
My website would have more views if I had remembered to make it...
Still getting 200k pageviews a year on my site despite not having anything new in there in years ๐ค
I wonder if I'll ever be arsed to do anything with it lol
what site
php is still pretty popular
well yeah but I haven't worked with it in many many years so as a result I stopped writing about it :D
last time I worked with it was around PHP 5.3 I think..
wonder when that was even
something like 10 years ago lol
liked web development back then?
Only Incels think that a woman will just automatically make their lives better and that every male in the human race must be out looking for females.
@north torrent ...what if they hated being men?
Who, the women or the Incels?
incels
I thought I heard a lot of people had moved away from PHP
Yeah PHP hasn't been "hip" for a long time now I think :P
Ruby on Rails took a sizable chunk and then Node.js
They are steadily improving the language though, the most recent iteration of the language has some form of static typechecking in it afaik
Yeah, I bet a lot of those same people who bitched about PHP getting too bloated absolutely jumped on top of node.js
If an Incel hates being a man is that really an Incel?
The key part of 'Incel' is the Involuntary part. Otherwise you are just voluntarily celibate which could be for many different reasons. @zinc matrix
Is this why people don't come to the lounge?
Possibly 
Likely.
Easy enough to ignore the conversations you don't care about I'd guess...
Except for the fact that people do come to the lounge. That is an observable fact, as there are 5 people here right in this moment.
as someone who joined this discord literally 10 minutes ago, what the hell happened in here?
I don't really see anything particularly weird to have happened?
Just a conversation about incels I guess? lol
fair. Thanks for the welcome!
I find the concept of "incel" kind of bizarre tbh
like.. isn't everyone who would like to have sex but can't by default an incel
Basically, Karol was being toxic again. That basically sums up most of the weird things we talk about on here.
only u r toxik mao
maybe it's whether you identify as one
That is the definition, Zomg. Just most people wouldn't wear it as a title. They would keep that stuff private.
yeah.. the lounge is basically shitposts and cat pics... sometimes it's... no, I think that might be it
like... "i'm an incel" is a lot worse than "i want to have sex but haven't found a partner"
We have some in depth political conversations in here.
thanks for teling us about your desires
Conversations about gardens, kangaroos, cars.
sometimes games
and incels. the obvious 5th category
lol
Did I tell you that I made two cats mad at me today, Mr. Ponkkis?
There are a lot of in depth programming conversations in the lounge from time to time as well, but as most people only come to the lounge to get away from that kind of stuff they don't generally last long.
Well, the cats at my apartment complex are very territorial, and these cats were messing with 'Doorstep Mฤo's' territory, so I shooooed them away. One of them was staring at me like he was going to murder me in my sleep.
Narrator: He will
cat fight!
Go back to your own door, I'm not feeding you you if you are going to get in someone else's territory.
mao but did you mark your teritory with pee
cus if not then they didnt know
you should mark it
It isn't my territory, it is Doorstep Mฤo's territory.
I just give the cats food sometimes. But I respect the rules of cat territory.
you got like cat triads in there
there's gonna be a horse head in the bed of one of the cats
he didnt pee enough
I would rather piss off two renegade cats than have the whole order or the stray cat mafia come down upon me...
do you guys use unreal or unity
Narrator: Doorstep Mao was what everyone called the older gentleman who everyone assumed was a hobo, when, in reality, he lost the keys to his apartment months ago but was too embarrassed to admit it.
Narrator: It was not Doorstep Mao.
Look in the background.
That black and white cat owns the apartment across from mine. He also owns a dog.
This is the cat the wants to murder me.
I wish something wanted to murder me.
that should be fairly easy to arrange 
actually, I wish something would right now. Migraine happened in between taking amphetamines and them taking effect... so I feel like a dumpster fire currently
why are you taking amphetamines?
adhd and neurological damage
But I already knock things off my desk
kinda missing that critical piece of information about how those greys were arrived at
lightness, luminosity, and average. And if you went into color filtering like you use in black and white photography, you'd get some very different results there too
true i guess
'He spoke for 90 minutes before completing his speech and accepting medical attention. His opening comments to the gathered crowd were, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."'
Kind of a badass
He was basically the most manly president in the history of the United States...
i usually alt f4 when i get shot
thing is capitalism, as its proponents suggest, should translate to civil liberties but you do get nations that are technically capitalist that don't have this
He had horrible asthma that he almost died from as a child, but he was just too badass to let that stop him.
Capitalism without regulation leads to the corporations taking every liberty from the people.
I may not trust the government, but I trust the government more than super corporate monopolies.
kinda same here i guess but it does depend on the govt. too
There needs to be regulation, and that isn't something that 'depends'.
That is universal.
Types of regulation can vary.
i would prefer governments to not be like that of the middle east at the very fkn least
u get 100.000$ when u turn 18 in some of those places ๐
I'm glad your standards are high, Mr. Suspicion.
I would like my car to at least have 3 wheels Mr. Suspicion when he buys his next car.
u get 100.000$ when u turn 18 in some of those places ๐
@carmine frigate only if you're Arab and/or vaguely linked to the aristocracy
my "gender-confused" ass would not see the light of day in those places
well cant give any tourist 100k when they have their sweet 18 overthere ๐
i'd rather not take their blood money anyway, and if i had to i'd rather use it on causes that would piss them off
its oil money ๐
I'd totally take blood money; it means they don't get to use it
ill take some bloody money aswell ๐
The United Arab Emirates seems to be the only country in the region that has its shit together and isn't constantly on the brink of imploding.
What about Saudi Arabia?
its the same everywhere ๐
I would figure you would be a fan of Saudi Arabia, Mr. Floss. Something about blah blah blah selling weapons to terrorists blah blah blah so it helps my 401k.
You guys ever see how the King of Saudi Arabia lives?
I hate the house of Saud. I don't like the premise of royal families.
But otherwise, I love oil companies.
for those who are ok with the prevailing attitudes then i can't say anything about it but for those who aren't they're just being kept alive like cattle in a farm
I don't like the premise of selling out my countries morals because of my 401k, but I guess we all have different sticking points.
I also knew a lot of people who worked for Saudi's ARAMCO. Don't know why, but that makes me like Saudi Arabia at least a little bit.
as long as they keep threatening to kill atheists and the LGBT+ community and mistreat women the middle east is not a place i prefer to associate with.
You can make money against your morals. It's like a win-win situation for you.
On one hand, yeah, you hate them from a moral standpoint, but on another standpoint, you're making money from them.
Whereas, if you don't invest, you're not making any money, and they're still operating as they usually would. So, you're just hurting yourself.
if using that money could change their laws i'd do it in a heartbeat but sadly it won't
ppl mistreat women everywhere ๐
ppl mistreat peopel period ๐
equal rights overhere is pretty new aswell
People have been doing mean things since people started.
people don't deserve to thrive in that case
Does anyone or anything deserve anything?
40 years behind isnt that much
After being blinded in one eye during a boxing match at the Whitehouse, President Roosevelt quit boxing and switched to jiu-jitsu instead.

as in not really good game but good at fulfilling your ADHD and giving you some pressure/thing to do
When you work with VS without paid solution should count x2 to the portfolio
maybe, but you also failed to follow unreal code style, so it only counts half that again
cuz didn't gave one new lines for { ?
that, and lowercase variable names
they name something about that ?
you probably noticed how all code in the engine uses ThisCase
but it's still wrong

@alpine fern Well, half of the marketplace have bad formatting and Epic give devgrants to content rippers
Maybe in a perfect world
๐ค
Oooof
By the way Zeblo, the fact is not even Epic is consistent with their code style half of the engine have randoms, the other half is correct, like using invalid nulls calls, once they canceled a PR because where using their same file formating, and claimed were wrong the whole file had to be updated, still equal in 2020
yeah it's hard to be perfectly consistent when you have 1000 people write 15 million lines of code
they try though
I think could be interesting if allow to reformat individual files to their style

yo question, what channel do I go to ask what kinds of games ppl are working on
Anyone got any game suggestions for games that work well with touchscreen laptops? Best Ive found so far is Civ V
Missile Command.
Hi anyone knows how I can post on the job chanel? I'd like to post some info about what we looking for
check the pinned messages on that channel, it should have the instructions
@foggy path thx mate.
@zinc matrix my family want me to find job ๐ฆ
cries
i worked abroad !!!
in few fields
you know
big eae time
you could get a job making games
I mean I've seen the pictures of your game
you talk like a dum dum sometimes but it looks like you know how to make games lol
I decided to start writing a document about how one of my game ideas would actually work as an actual game... because I just keep procrastinating on the idea and not doing anything because of lack of direction lol
I started with the basic idea earlier and while some of the game mechanics work the idea quickly ran into a wall because I couldn't think of a way to tie the mechanics into an actual game where you'd have some reason to play it
so I think I need to write something down to make sure I'm not going to run into problems like that :P
i can feel u man, most of my players just leave quickly because they find it boring
so i am working on new features x)
you know, gonna give them things to do..
OMG materialization worked!
@foggy path try to play it, its counter intuitive xD
What do you mean?
Try it out
Well yeah, I mean the problem was more that I had a number of game mechanic ideas that were disjointed
like you could do X Y and Z, but why would you want to do X Y Z
I mean John's MMO :P
Documenting before starting to program is always a good start
Not even /* */?
I document those during programming :p
Better that than nothing
I'm usually pretty good about keeping the whole system in my head even when it's complex
so with programming per se it's not the problem, but rather the overall reason why the player is playing the game
like where does the game start, and how do you progress through it, and where does it end
even if the game mechanics themselves are interesting, it doesn't seem like it would be interesting as a game if there's just a bunch of things you can randomly do for no reason
at that point it's more like a tech demo lol
I'm usually pretty good about keeping the whole system in my head even when it's complex
That only works for a fixed amount of time. Once you forgot what the general idea was you have to reinvent it
If I stop working on it for a long enough time it happens yeah but as long as I keep working on it it's fine lol
I remember pretty much the entirety of the massive codebase we have at work that I've been working on for many years now :P
I guess that's why I can't remember anything else 
I mean yeah todo lists for sure if there's a lot of things
@zinc matrix wrong server
Are you even allowed to share Flight Sim alpha content ๐ค
I haven't seen any anywhere so I would assume it's probably against the TOS...
Still, has nothing to do with ue4 or anything
This isnt a screenshot storage place :E

Nice, there will be Bio version soon
@zinc matrix on topic , this one has keypad and pin as a security instead of biometrics https://onlykey.io/
@foggy path i personally am allowed
btw. i need nutrition fact for oat drink not-fortified!
I need to see your Flight Sim permission slip from Bill Gates
@foggy path and i would like to see the permission that im not allowed to do
It's in the TOS lol
i dont have any tos
welp then whoever posted those originally broke TOS in the first place :P
not really
breaching NDA is a great way to ensure the developers will not have a beta again
:P
I highly doubt any of the problems with Last of Us 2 was because people didn't breach their NDA's
๐
anyway I don't really know if there's an NDA like that with Flight Sim... it was just an assumption based on how closed betas usually are

u mean frame?
just rectangles
that resize according to start and end points
hha
lol
its very complicated
to actually do that in every direction
its hard
and then you have store walls (4 corners) sections (8 corners), corners, frames, etc
hard to manage
though maybe theres easier and less headache inducing way to do it
but i just butted through
anyway i think thats great feature because
i will share my little secret with u but i think players are full h.omo for games that let them build things
or for games that give constant pression like moba and Battle royale..
so i will include both of that in my game...
indeed
building is best
so i have to make it really really good
and multi directional
anyone here working on a RTS game?
@zinc matrix i wanna make it like crossout
but in space
xD
and mmoissh
crossout was wild ngl
its cool until u realise its pay2win and really limited
but the idea is very cool
you construct very unique cars to then crash with each other
i liked making really weird builds
one thing i didnt like was that if i put more armor items, i had bigger general 'part score' so it matched me with people who had less parts but better tier weapons
i guess it was a way to balance
After an agonizing process of modeling and animation I can now confirm that beer cans are now crushable
and a total of over 120 different types of beer are in my game all with different results
outer space just got allot more interesting
Beer in space.

I'm finally learning Niagara, for the purposes of doing sweet audio visualizations.
oooh nice
I need to actually learn it myself. What sort of audio ๐
(he types as he is playing guitar)
I want to make music videos for my songs, and a real-time vis for when I DJ on Twitch.
dang that sounds fun
Hell yeah, I'm stoked about it. Was so happy to hear about the new audio data interfaces for Niagara in 4.25.
Finally pushed me to start learning the dang thing. ๐
But hoo boy, it's a beast.
Haha yeah, I hope to dabble at some point, Havent had the need yet ๐
Yeah its big
theres a lot of it
It looks like Blueprint, but it's quite unique in a lot of ways.
I feel like a newbie all over again, trying to do basic things and getting error messages that are completely mysterious to me.
Yeah same here
Who's watching The God of Highschool?
i'm about to watch the simpsons
I've been watching Food Wars lately.
I just watch a little simpsons while I eat dinner. only watched 10 min of the ep and back to work
I'm still watching season 1, on Netflix.
It's perfect end-of-the-night viewing when I need something easy and fun.
Plus it speaks to my love of cooking and gets me all fired up to make awesome food.
I'm watching this old 1970s movie called Star Wars.
Star Wars, thats like Sword in the Stone with laser swords right
Aquaman, thats like Sword in the Stone with a trident right
They have mostly been using pew pew pew guns so far.
The young dude was practicing with a laser sword but then when they got to the space station he went back to using a gun.
The old guy and the bad dude with the black helmet had a sword fight, but that was about 90 seconds compared to like 20 minutes of gun fighting and 20 minutes of spaceship gun fighting.
so more like Robinhood
anyone know if there's a way to gift a game on epic store?
Epic has a store?
nope
Anyone having issues with Epic games 2FA not sending the email code?
Epic has games?
@plucky pagoda Not yet, but it's on the roadmap.
Epic takes a couple of minutes sometimes to send the 2FA code.
It's like the only service I know of that doesn't send it immediately.
Unfortunately it's been ~10 minutes. ๐
Gotta scan it for the Corona.
If you buy VAX on the weekend, they won't send you the code to activate it until a business day.
Mind boggling.
that's not automated?
I can't really think of an explanation. ๐คท
@sour escarp I've noticed it sometimes lags quite badly with 2FA
definitely had the same problem where it took so long that I forgot about it and then only later noticed it had sent it finally
usually at that point it was no longer lagging thankfully so I could actually request another one and log in
I don't run into that issue since I use an authenticator app
and I scratched my cornea in my sleep again, so I am hating life right now
Use the other eye.
Look at this guy over here with more than one eye
I ordered a salad.
still no luck with the 2FA code...
use an application
when it starts working just switch to google authenticator or any similar app and you don't have to wait for emails
yeah I'm going to have to at this point. Didn't realize they allowed google auth when I first set it up
@proud pier ive been watching God of Highschool myself
pretty damn good martial arts animation
tho the series im hyped beyond measure is Re:zero, which is highly likely to be a spectacular hypestorm this season once the drama starts happening
re:zero season 1 absolutely exploded in reddit and other anime communities, being completely unmatched everywhere until attack on titan season 3 happened
Carl Wheezer
vblanco, have you watched Kaguya-sama?
I didn't think it was my type of anime at first, but I gave the first episode a try and it's pretty damn good.
watched it for a few episodes, its fun, but its not the style of stuff i like
i kinda liked monster strike the animation for VFX and animation
i still think the naruto shippuden ultimate ninja storm, cutscenes are as good as it gets
the game is real good aswell
i was named after my grandma, n00bkillah666
lol
a theoretical question for you all: imagine an alien race that is pretty much identical to mankind, but instead of ten fingers they have a square multiple of two, e.g. 16 fingers, 8 on each hand.
do you think such a species would develop computers faster, or more efficiently than we would?
all of our maths we learned way back from ancient civilisation is base 10 because... ten fingers
imagine how it might differ if our culture had maths based around base 2 or base 16, when it came to development and common understanding of a binary computer
an octal system?
Maybe if they had six fingers they'd figure out that some numbers can be best represented by one number instead of recurring decimals
The Yuki language in California and the Pamean languages[1] in Mexico have octal systems because the speakers count using the spaces between their fingers rather than the fingers themselves.[2]
Google duodecimal society or duodecimal system
yeah its interesting to think how having a differen number of fingers on each hand might have positively or negatively influenced maths
I have 8 fingers so octal works perfectly
What a noob, I created a Watch Dogs clone in the time it took to make this meme ๐
Youre just making a Ratchet and Clank clone
Hey all, which is the right channel to ask about finding asset packs?
For a university project I'm wanting to design an underground TPS map, but struggling to find environment packs
I'm going to break new ground and do an open apartment game
Oh, shit. It's an apartment ... but you're a cat. So all of that Ubisoft tower climbing still makes sense.
That's ... helpful.
I know I'll never forget 3d_other_uhpocesfa when it's used in 2035's contender for GOTY
@dull sparrow The marketplace has some really nice underground packs.
Absolutely beautiful ones as well, but a little too expensive for this project :p Thank you for the heads up though
Our indie team started work on a dayz-tarkov type openish world shooter for VR
This morning concluded with market research that the top 3 VR shooters have peak daily playercounts of 1024, 190, 80 players respectively. Our game likely couldn't live with <40 players on at a time, and what are the chances we land somewhere in the top 3? Likely slim ๐
Almost as if we'd have to design for primarily single-player dayz-tarkov type gameplay, and have it fully featured for dynamic multiplayer sessions in case the game ever gets popular
VR just has a lot of problems
Mainly just waiting for the playerbase ๐คท it's proven itself in the market this year
You know there was a time when MP games came with a fully featured SP component ๐
You have a chicken/egg problem in a lot of cases... not enough adoption, so there aren't enough larger experiences... because of that, there isn't as much adoption. It's still not cheap to get a decent experience on. And some people can't tolerate it, whether it's sim sickness, how terrible an HMD is if you wear glasses, or, if you're me, the inability to ignore the screen door effect and Fresnel lenses.
Make a small MP game and add millions of hats, problem solvered
To me, I think the best part about it is the potential to easily do certain types of controls that would be a pain in the ass to do with mouse/keyboard or a gamepad.
But seriously, its a pretty tough market out there for MP games, even great MP games end up dead because of the big players. People are going to go where the players are and if that isnt your game, ouch
It's a tough market period.
I'd probably focus more on smaller-scale multiplayer stuff. Things you play with people you already know.
if you want MP, make something with coop
or with bots that are fun to play against
@clear sparrow you are also missing PSVR, which is the biggest vr market
honestly dont even bother with PC VR, its dead, and will stay dead for a few years
I agree that coop is a good idea, story that is naturally against bots but opens up to MP as well.
I guess it's relative to what you define as "dead"; VR daily users has been growing almost exponentially in PCVR alone, for the past two years. I would define that as 'developing', or 'growing', not dead ๐คท ๐
What's "hot" in PSVR?
I literally never hear anything about PSVR so I was under the impression PCVR and Oculus Quest was really where it was at..
@foggy path psvr is still quite healthy in vr
are there any interesting PSVR exclusives or any particular titles that are popular for it?
tbh I'm pretty out of date with most VR releases since I mostly just play racing sims in VR and Beat Saber :D
do any of y'all know what Lion of Fez Dafa is?
idk why people use unreal
it too complex and hard

destroy all humans is out now, another gem for unreal engine, can't wait to play it
was it a sweet potato?
it was originally unreal 3, on the original xbox, it was GTA except your an alien destroying all humans lol, it's got a silly story too, all around it was a great time, certainly pushed the limits of the original xbox for the time
ยฃ24.99
it interesting the only way to lower store 30% fee is by force from congress
what can you do when they have a monopoly
no one else can really dictate terms for them at that point
Trust Buster Tim Sweeny can! He can use that Fortnite money to give away free games, buy exclusive titles, and break up your Monopoly.
When your government won't help you, look to Trust Buster Tim Sweeny.
the last time that epic and valve speak on anything steam stop marketing 2 years of future games for coming soon games
this wasn't in place before EGS
even if 30% is way too much it's still easier to publish on IOS than EGS which makes IOS better
EGS is just for the 1% of developers allowed to publish to it
it's absolutely a fact that apple is enforcing a monopoly and it's wrong, but so far EGS is only doing worse
that gamasutra article is very relevant https://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/SimonCarless/20200727/367102/Are_platforms_devaluing_games_to_gain_market_share.php
Simon Carless information on the industry are very important
since the amount of data he uses
yeah he's amazing
and i'm absolutely willing to take back everything bad i've said about EGS if and when i'll allow for open publishing just like steam
I wonder if their plan is to curate it first to keep a better quality to build up users with that
Steam didn't allow everyone to publish games there originally either
yeah possibly
^ that is just a silly comparison
look at the trash that's on steam...
:D
you can't call those games crappy in comparison
there quality assurance still no perfect to them to open up for the masses yet
no platform can 100% guarantee against crappy games
not everyone thinks like this but I think that a platform's job is not to curate crappy games
though you can do better than a majority of asset flip shovelware
if there's not a useful way to discover titles on a storefront, there's really not any particular advantage in being on it
how do you know your game won't be identified as shovelware ?
it's kinda hard to say... I almost never "discover" games by browsing a storefront
also, I agree with Justin on the discovery thing but that's not achieved by curation
so I don't really know if my opinion on whether the storefront should or shouldn't be curated makes sense
whether you actually had people specifically responsible for curating one or you have some kind of algorithmic suggestions, you still have an easier time if you aren't having to dig through a full dumpster
yeah but those are custom curation lists maintained by users, it's not actually enforced by the platform
you can still publish on the platform regardless
Well, yeah, in the case of Steam's curator system, it's a half-ass (at best) thing that I'm not particularly sure accomplishes anything at all
I'd say it's better than store-level curation...
it has a democratic component to it and you can choose the curators you trust
and you can be on the platform regardless of the curators choice, that's why I think it's better
to me, a platform's mission is that you can provide opportunities for both players and devs, that doesn't include curation
I wonder do people base their purchase decisions on curators ๐ค
it's another feature I've never used...
me neither tbh, I use reviews
I've seen curator reviews and lists on the homepage from time to time but it's pretty much just memey shit like "Darth Vader recommends this game" or some shit like that
:D
I don't know if it's any more useful than when I tried to use it. I thought that it largely sucked.. so I definitely wonder what the level of engagement on it is
I think it could work if you were some sort of gaming influencer on youtube or something and had your recommended games in the list or something
I know that by not having really any standards at all, stuff just gets totally buried all the time unless it's some major title
but then again TotalBiscuit was the only gaming youtuber whose reviews I actually used sometimes to see if I'd like something or not :P
I don't have time to follow anyone streaming
the problem of games being "buried" by content happens in every platform regardless of curation
I already don't have time for things that have editing involved in them
too much white noise in the system
discoverability is achieved by marketing, and then ratings, cross-plays recomendations and all that
I have nothing but time lol
We all have a finite amount of it. And we generally don't know how much.
I mean unless you have kids I don't really know where people's time go
It's understandable if you have family obligations but at least for those who don't... I dunno :D
We all choose to allocate it to something
I know I've certainly wasted a hell of a lot of it
yeah, so it's not really like you don't have time, you just choose to spend it on something already
that's generally what most people mean, yeah
And we'll find ways to justify poor decisions... like how I've spent most of today watching TV because I feel like shit and I'm hoping it's just my allergies and not that I'm dying.
It seems a lot of people who complain about lack of time seem to have this idea that being unproductive is bad
I waste my time all the time and I don't care because I enjoy it so as far as I'm concerned it's time well spent lol
so I don't really ever feel like I needed more time to do something else... I can always do it tomorrow if I really must
engineering, construction, and firearms are more my speed than chemistry
sometimes I watch a guy paint model tanks
they are interesting mechanically
I've never shot one but it's interesting to learn about the mechanisms
back when I did modeling, I had to learn about them. Found the engineering and history interesting far before I ever really got into shooting.
yeah the history is also interesting in some cases
like why certain design decisions were made as a result of something that they needed to achieve with it
Also some of the hilariously stupid things people tried
lol
terrible guns are some of the best stuff on forgotten weapons for example
loved his video on the zip22 lol
Gun Jesus.
HA your worries about your allergies possibly meaning your sick? Try reading a study where they found that clear mucus coming out your nose constantly could actually be your cerebral fluid leaking through your sinuses, thatโs where Iโm currently at.
Omg just stop
mattv..fuckwhatevernumbers had a few on the Zip 22 before Ian ever got around to that awful thing
Iโm already paranoid enough hahaha
tbh I'm not a 100% sure on that Slim I just vaguely remember reading something about it a long time ago
but it was more like a thing that just happens with some people and it's normal, and not like a health condition or anything
also, if your CSF is leaking out of your nose, you'd probably know because you'd have the headache from hell
Ahh I see, did I mention that by โread an articleโ I meant โread a headlineโ? Ignorance is one of the pitfalls of my paranoia
lol
I've had a lumbar puncture done before... causes a drop in pressure, so you get a terrible headache that either goes away or recedes when lying down. It's also improved by caffeine, so the actual medical advice I got for it was "drink a lot of Mountain Dew and go to bed"
you seem to have had a lot of fun things like this happen to you
I have a colorful medical history
meanwhile I'll get a lil cut on my finger and be panicing 
yeah, stuff like that mostly just pisses me off
have to stop what I'm doing, disinfect, have a bandage on it that will inevitably wind up doing some combination of getting stuck to something else and peeling off
Lose one finger and you still have 7 more.
at least I got smart enough to start wearing a glove when I solder stuff so I wouldn't burn myself anymore
are you a cartoon character Mao if you only have 8 fingers in total? lol
Humans only have 8 fingers in the English language.
wait is the thumb not counted as a finger? :P
No.
English dictionaries describe finger as meaning either one of the five digits including the thumb, or one of the four excluding the thumb (in which case they are numbered from 1 to 4 starting with the index finger closest to the thumb).
be an asian woman?
Wikipedia suggests it could be either way tbh
Kind of depends on context.
because I'm not an Asian woman?
I'm using a keyboard that I just replaced most of the switches on, so, yeah, I've done some soldering.
It's not because I don't know how to do it. It's because my left side isn't always where my brain thinks it is.
Other than the part where she's holding the iron by the tip, doesn't have any solder or flux?

The question if life was on mars was already answered and its a yes...
Weird tho, that NASA put that question in the title as one of their job descriptions actually say that NASA is not allowed to pursue the search for life outside of Earth

Depends on what your definition of life is
If its the left over food in your fridge thats been there for over a month well yes there is life on Mars ๐
Could be the cure for the Corona.
Alien Virus, maybe it'll help us create the master race
If there is air, perhaps but I think there needs to be bacteria and I think there are air scrubbers in space
You know when you taste fully filtered water and its like wtf this has no taste because its so clean? The air is probably like that
the name of the rover is something funny for finns
Mars doesn't have a magnetosphere so if there ever was air on Mars it has been blown away by the sun's radiation over millions of years.
Yup air is the least of your worries

In the project I was doing with my elementary school students, they decided they would put a giant nuclear generator on the north pole of Mars and melt the ice caps.
This created an ocean in which 3 students got trapped in because they didn't think about bringing a boat with them...
They then decided that living on Mars sucks, so they just built a giant space yacht and decided to live in 5 star luxury up on their space yacht and only go down to the surface of Mars to do research.
space and other planets basically suck hard as far as we have seen
there is MonsoPlanet where everything is Mons
north pole is basically super comfy compared to other planets
also more easy on logistics
