I wish Noctua made gpus...

you know what I was talking about; don't do it.

Or more partnered with someone who already made the non fan elements...

But let Noctua design the heat sink and fans and minimalist shroud if it even has one.

#

Yeah, I don't see the point in a 2.5 slot card. If you're going over two, you might as well put a real fan on it

#

Why Brexit = bad?

#

By the way, it seems like old GPUs have a bigger difference with modern ones on high resolutions

#

but on 1440p and 1080 aren't that big

#

Britain needs the EU to survive in a world where the USA and China are the superpowers. It is too tiny to not get bullied otherwise.

gilded lichen
#

Is US bad?

north torrent
#

Yes.

gilded lichen
#

Hm, I thought it's good

north torrent
#

You thought wrong, but that's ok.

fluid bloom

😄

north torrent
#

Being wrong is the first step to being right.

fluid bloom
#

US is good if you're an US citizen

light spruce
#

Also, if you're going to leave part of group of countries that you were only kinda half in to begin with, you probably should at least have matching shoes on and not piss your pants in the process

#

Not... really...

#

plenty of US citizens are discovering just how not good being a US citizen is

north torrent
#

I personally don't think a nation can survive if it will drastically change the very structure of itself on a 48% / 52% vote...

fluid bloom
#

point being that they only pursue their own interests

#

aggressively

north torrent
#

Hey, lets just throw everything we have done internationally out the window because of an almost 50/50 split vote.

light spruce
#

except that percentage isn't why

north torrent
#

I see no future for a government that doesn't require a 66% threshold for changing something as big as being in the EU.

gilded lichen
#

What countries are good? And how bad US compare to china?

north torrent
#

At least the US doesn't go around changing the constitution because it got 50.001% of the vote...

light spruce
#

Oh. I thought you were talking about the US. Not the UK.

north torrent
#

North Korea is cold in the winter. I don't recommend.

light spruce
#

That I don't know nearly as much about other than, "We're totally leaving the EU and we will continue to have exactly zero plans about how we're doing it"

Brexit is bad and nobody should accept it because it only got 52% of the vote.

median wraith
#

Cold in winter and friend of my friends

#

re: mismatched shoes; pissed trousers

north torrent
#

The US has its own problem with executive orders though.

#

No foreign country should trust any alliance or deal they make with the US. In 4 years the next guy just might undo the deal on a whim by executive order because he doesn't like the color of your tie.

#

So don't send you troops to help the US because they promised to defend blah blah blah, because you can hold up your end of the deal and the next leader can just axe his end of the deal with executive order.

#

Anyways, do you think anyone will be releasing new power supplies the same time the RTX 3090 is released?

gilded lichen
#

You hate US

light spruce
#

an executive order doesn't really have any effect on whether or not that happens

gilded lichen
#

But what about china?

north torrent
#

I am a US citizen and I choose not to live there.

#

I live in Shanghai, but that doesn't mean I support the Chinese government either.

gilded lichen
#

Why did you go to china lol, it's worse than us

north torrent
#

I make more money and work less hours.

#

Live in a bigger apartment.

#

And don't have to worry about corona-virus.

#

Today for example I didn't have to actually do any work until 1:20 in the afternoon. Spent the morning eating McDonalds and doing game design on my personal hobby project. Got off work at 5:00 and was home at my desk by 5:06.

light spruce
#

executive orders aren't unlimited and the only reason countries keep agreements now is because of any potential ramifications that might result. It's not like there's some global enforcement agency of particular agreements.

north torrent
#

The enforcement of promises should be an internal thing in Democracies to keep the integrity of the nation.

#

It is hard to make deals internationally if your system is so easily swayed on a whim.

light spruce
#

that's why you keep that in mind whenever you make international agreements

bronze parcel
#

New tech is irrelevant for me. I live in Turkey..

#

When you buy something you buy another one for the govt. LUL

north torrent
#

But if I was writing the constitution for a government I would make sure I offered protections internally enforced by my government to make sure my country could be trusted. That way I could make more deals and be more successful on the world stage.

I would not just let people get elected and unilaterally tear up agreements without even consulting Congress. It would take all 3 branches of government agreeing or 66% vote in two houses of the Legislature to break a binding agreement I had with another country.

For me personally with my job experience and education and being a white male with US citizenship, it is better living in Shenzhen or Shanghai than in the US.

That does not at all mean I think that all Chinese people in all of China are happy. I live as a foreigner doing a job only foreigners do, so my experience does not at all represent what it is like to be an average Chinese person.

Fallout 4 actually had a deep dialogue system if you open up the tools in their modding toolset.

light spruce
#

"Recycled paper is made using 40% less energy than normal paper"

north torrent
#

But anyways, my goal is to make dialogue a part of the gameplay like it is a 'level' of the game of a 'boss fight'. It isn't just a break from the game focused on some false promise for 'story branches'. The goal is to make actual gameplay like decisions with dialogue.

Not part of this real fact, it's 200% worse to write on.

If you don't abstract it into gameplay mechanics that aren't heavily dependent on player social skills, you get the same kinds of problems that you run into with social deduction games.

My core goal is to have the player feel like he/she is in the shoes of the character. That the player is having to deal with things from the perspective of that character's personality. The player doesn't get to change who the character is or isn't, but works through the shortcoming of that character's personality to lead that character to the best choice.

Each character you can play as should feel like a totally different experience to control. Totally new set of problems and potential. Like picking up different guitars, not each one is suited for the same thing. Or like driving a Jeep vs a Corvette, each one has an area it is much better at.

light spruce
#

If you think I wouldn't try to off-road a Corvette, you don't know shit about me

Oh dear. I foolishly watched Trump there. These were his words..."They bring bags of soup, they put it on the ground and the anarchists take it and throw it at our police."

Yeah, you can't throw bricks.

#

No one can throw a brick.

mossy nexus
#

yup, bricks are too heavy

light spruce
#

A can of soup is the perfect size. Shape. Weight. I don't fucking remember what metric he used.

mossy nexus
#

"Getting hit with soup is worse than a brick, you know.. it has force"

light spruce
#

Making people play like a character would without them feeling like they're not actually making decisions isn't the easiest thing to do

north torrent
#

In a game if you try to off-road a Corvette and it reacts like a Jeep, the player will feel disappointed.

But if you try to off-road a Corvette and something miraculously bad happens, the player will be happy with the results.

#

So the goal isn't to stop people from off-roading the Corvette, but to give the players results that are appropriate to the choice.

light spruce
#

Oh, I mean I would absolutely drive a real Corvette into mud and gravel because fuck that car.

north torrent
#

I get that, but I am just talking about game design.

And it isn't supposed to be easy.

But I don't want to fake people into thinking, "You can make your Fallout 4 character be anything you want" because you can't. I want to make it clear that Cal is Cal, he is a character just as much as Tony Stark is in the Ironman movie. He isn't your 'custom character' you don't get to control who he is.

But you get to be in his head, you get to be his conscious, you get to push him to overcome his shortcoming and be a better version of himself of a worse version of himself or whatever in between.

#

And it is very likely that I will fail at this.

#

But this is just what I enjoy trying to do as a hobby. Certainly not me speaking as someone telling you, "this is how games should be made" because it certainly isn't.

Having the player earn the ability to customize your weapon 70% of the way through the game, now that's an idea.

Build up to it maybe.

At that point, I'd argue that it didn't need to be in the game

do you remember back in 2015 when someone made a Minecraft clone with Blueprints and the people were in love with that awesome graphics ?

and now Minecraft have more visual features than UE4

#

like you can't even get occlusion

tulip orbit

with the RTX?

median wraith

yeah

well technically Minecraft had a way to get occlusdion without RTX too

tulip orbit

ue5 will close the distance wont it?

median wraith

I have no idea tbh

tulip orbit

hope so

median wraith

Until I don't see the things on the computer by myself I can't say anything

wish the windows version of minecraft supported all the mods from the java version

occlusion what?

median wraith
#

the other day I noticed someone doing a BFV patch adding patch tracing rather than raytracing

ran faster than raytracing

ancient hornet
#

Ambiant Occlusion?

median wraith
#

yeah

#

But world based occlusion

#

I think is the only the people actually requsted for years on UE4

ancient hornet
#

well you don't have to deal with precision issues when voxelizing the world in minecraft

😄

solid aurora
#

well

#

you have it

#

it just static

#

one way or another

#

dynamic world space AO is just nor possiblile without some tracing

#

be it voxels

#

(hehehe)

#

or RayTracing

#

I kind of get why epic never did it though

#

first not enough people

#

and then UE5

median wraith
#

here lord Juan did it for Godot without voxels or RT

#

but the same thing UE5 is expected to have

solid aurora
#

UE5 will have AO trough combined screenspace and tracing from distance fields/voels

#

voxels*

ancient hornet
#

pretty sure Godot does voxelize the world for it's system no?

median wraith
#

Distance Fields

solid aurora
#

besides, nobody is serisouly using godot

#

it's like your sweet little pet

#

nice to play it

not sure many people are unseriously using godot

ancient hornet
#

distance fields as in a 3D texture in the world storing distances? I wonder how we could call the "pixels" of that 3D texture 😛

solid aurora
#

but you won't let it guard your home

median wraith

Well so far I had more work for Godot than for UE4

#

So the sentence about nobody using Godot seriously seems not to be real at all from some point ago

light spruce
#

what has actually shipped using it?

median wraith
#

Well seems like someones started to using it for internal projects etc

ancient hornet
#

it's not as if Godot even RELEASED it's SDFGI yet

median wraith
#

And open source projects going real open source

#

some people choose it as there won't be any limitation

ijust follow the main developer on twitter

it serisouly looks

like his personal playground

median wraith

light spruce
#

well, that still doesn't answer my question

I can see why you would want to use

but I can't see anybody using it to ship finished game

#

bigger than tetris

and even then

median wraith
#

This conversation seems kinda like Unity in 2010

#

Then Epic Games open their store and the first game they release for free is a top seller made in Unity

ancient hornet
#

until we've seen the dynamic GI working

it's vaporware

#

Unity had dynamic GI and they removed it XD

#

now it doesn't have it anymore 😄

#

such an improvement

median wraith
#

well as UE4

#

just Unity removed it after make it public

#

if that reply the question

fringe sundial
#

@median wraith distance fields and voxels are almost the same lol

#

DFAO is also something unreal has

#

live, on fortnite

median wraith
#

well voxels are usually world fixed space

#

and the Distance Field are per mesh based

fringe sundial
#

the distance field grid godot uses is merged

#

its very similar to what unreal does

median wraith
#

and yeah the DFAO implementation on Fortnite don't work properly

fringe sundial
#

for close objects it uses the full res thing (per object DF), but past some distance, its like a "merged" version

ancient hornet
#

ue5 will probably release before godot 4 anyway 😄

light spruce
#

I'm guessing it's a downsampling thing, yeah?

median wraith
#

well that isn't the point

#

technically you can try that anyway Godot 4 in on Github

#

there are thirdparty nightbuilds

#

But this is a UE vs Godot competition

#

@fringe sundial the DFAO on UE4 works for small items and small areas, there is no world occlusion outside of that sadly

#

to point out

#

what I bet on the new version did that you named

#

technically UE5 could use Godot code anyway

light spruce
#

AO is such a mixed bag

alpine fern
#

I don't think epic would want to use godot code

median wraith
#

well they could do on a shader and there is nothing wrong

#

just as they did with the code from University of Zaragoza

#

aka "Crytek"

#

as is open code

#

for SSAO and other things

ancient hornet
#

why would Epic take Godot code

#

since they have Lumen already

#

it's not because we don't see the code that it doesn't exist

median wraith
#

well

#

UE4 is based from 200 thirdpaty libs

#

I mean even the shaders took shaders made by others at first

#

That's why companies share papers between about techs

#

the SSAO every company used were based from Crytek one

#

and the Crytek one were made in a spanish university

#

aka the docs were public

#

just as the TAA

We'll see on September 16th 😄

median wraith
#

@ancient hornet About Lumen, maybe to me sounds more like what Blanco named, there was a wild change on the way the current tech work, as he named they had already this tech made
Something that worry me they didn't actually show a real GI case example, the demo were spotlights all around to simulate sun on caves and I always want to see something as simple as houses in outdoors, where you can enter into a house and see a coloration degradation and occlusion, rather than this kind of demo, aswell under trees occlusion

wait what happen september 16 ?

carmine frigate

i think the 1st successful standalone is goin to come from nintendo

plucky pagoda
#

yes

#

1000000%

#

you will get f'kd

foggy path
#

how so?

light spruce
#

Because it's usually a package thing where you don't actually own the domain registration

plucky pagoda
#

Because if the host takes issue with your site or pulls it down due to dmca or anything else you can also get locked out of your domain.

foggy path
#

ah

plucky pagoda
#

keep them separate and have a backup you can be up with a new host in minutes

foggy path
#

yeah I host all my stuff on my VPS anyway :P

light spruce
#

Yeah, if you have a site that actually matters, you definitely need a failover

#

these long TLDs are fucking dumb

plucky pagoda
#

I had it happen with GoDaddy way back that they threatened to keep a domain from transferring. Ever since then I keep them all separate.

light spruce
#

Those guys also suck

#

have you ever suddenly thought to yourself... "You know ... bigfartconspiracy.com is a great url... but what I really need is bigfartconspiracy.blackfriday"?

foggy path
#

Yeah GoDaddy is generally one you don't want to use anyway :P

#

Heard so many horror stories about them

light spruce
#

I've found my winner. .loan is only 2.99/4.99; you really have to pay for an s though as .loans is 12.99/108.99

#

if I need a domain for anything again in the future, I'm definitely picking some cheap TLD that makes no sense to use because I'm a fucking idiot and I do things like that

plucky pagoda
#

Any ad servers that allow sites with political content? I've got a few domains I'm trying to figure out how to monetize.

light spruce
#

I wasn't aware that there were ad servers that had standards of any kind

plucky pagoda
#

All the ones I use to use wouldn't allow sites if content was mostly political.

foggy path
#

maybe check what ad network breitbart uses :P

#

I'm sure there's a bunch of sites like that lol

light spruce
#

That just reminded me of the email address some... tech journalist? got his inbox flooded with as part of some harassment bullshit

#

along with orders of a couple dozen pizzas and such

#

I kinda want ethanol.. but I would have to go outside

tulip orbit
#

not worth it 😄

light spruce
#

shit no. 66% humidity. It's like trying to breathe water and the water is hot

tulip orbit
#

:/

#

winter is trying to move in here, getting cooler every day

#

hm. 60% humidity here, but only 15c

light spruce
#

tulip orbit
#

#

never tried it

light spruce
#

I think it has to be baked

#

because it has that separate bone controller thing

rich quiver
#

spellbreak is made in UE4

light spruce
#

We should all smoke drugs

#

maybe then I could solve one of my design problems

tulip orbit
#

go all out, use some LSD, get real creative

light spruce
#

if I did that, then the background image for Big Data on YouTube music would be even more terrifying than it already is

tulip orbit

😄

light spruce
#

bleh. also need new guitar strings

tulip orbit
#

How often do you replace them?

#

I save money on strings by never playing my guitars 😄

light spruce
#

I don't play very often, but it's been long enough that I don't remember when I did this one

#

shit.. it's probably been like nine months

tulip orbit
#

mine are all probably 3+ yrs old,

light spruce
#

oh, so they're also super gross then

tulip orbit
#

look and sound fine to me when I strum my acoustic whilst passing by

light spruce
#

I take it they're not coated strings

tulip orbit
#

no idea

light spruce
#

I've used coated strings once. Never again.

tulip orbit
#

coated is those colorful ones?

solid aurora
#

@rich quiver no

#

they are using Multiplay

#

for ded servers

light spruce
#

stuff like Elixirs

#

basically supposed to keep them playing the same longer... but they get gross whenever the coating starts wearing off

tulip orbit
#

ah ok

light spruce
#

I really need to see if I can get some much higher gauge acoustic strings. It's tuned pretty low right now

rich quiver
light spruce
#

playability is pretty rough on an acoustic when it's dropped a 4th.

#

unrelated, steam managed to fuck something up again

ancient hornet
#

that Unity tweet is still there, did they sneakily rewrite Spellbreak recently? 😄

tulip orbit
#

Woo, I think I got my dialogue/cinematic/quest intro working. Need proper animations for it now

light spruce
#

I'm also sad to find out that my Subnautica time capsule will never appear in game

tulip orbit
#

time capsule?

light spruce
#

You can leave a time capsule and whenever someone starts a new game, it pulls a handful of them to populate their game with

#

has a picture, text, and a 2x3 item grid

ancient hornet
#

why wouldn't it appear?

tulip orbit
#

neat

ancient hornet
#

they turned off the feature?
it reminds me of the Nier: Automata features though 😄

light spruce
#

but they have to be approved... and nothing has been approved in at least two years

ancient hornet
#

ah

#

that's the kind of feature you shouldn't do like that I guess

light spruce
#

reaching across the keyboard to hit Fn - for F11 after getting flung in the air attached to a reaper.. kind of a pain in the ass

tulip orbit
#

😄

#

I always ran away from that thing

#

if not avoiding it altogether

light spruce
#

I killed six leviathans in total. I didn't really run into the reapers. I had to actively go and find that one.

#

if you can tag them in the right spot with the grapple, you just rodeo them and grind them to death with the drill

#

I do kinda wish there had been a reason to build more of a base

tulip orbit
#

Wish there had been more to do in general.... game was too short. awesome, but short.

light spruce
#

I got far more materials and built more fucking batteries than I ever needed

#

I could definitely play the game in far less time at this point

#

glitchless survival speedrun is 1h04m40s

tulip orbit
#

dang. steam says I've played for 36hrs, and I think I only did the one playthru

light spruce
#

Yeah. Mine has those numbers in it.

tulip orbit
#

😉

zinc matrix
#

inerturs

#

i liek u

light spruce
#

63.3. But I spent time building a second base I didn't need, bringing stuff up to grow that wasn't necessary, forgetting shit on the other side of the map, and getting things to put in a time capsule that no one will ever see.

zinc matrix
#

hows epic vs apple thing going?

light spruce
#

I'm thinking gin

#

why would you paint weights?

#

... oh

#

"Yeah, man... I hang out at the gym... dude's doin' a set... gonna go with seabreeze on this one.... electric tangerine on the other side"

#

meh. speedrun rules are "any release patch" so september 2018 is the one people use. Only figured that out because I was trying to figure out why the medkit had a red cross...since... you can't actually do that.

#

isn't mixamo the "totally rig any humanoid thing on the internet"?

#

Just making sure I was thinking of the same thing

#

organics were never my thing

#

I'm much more of a "design and model a gun that would actually function" kind of person

#

depends on who you are and what you know

#

it's not totally trivial when you understand firearms and engineering and actually care about it being functional

#

Shit. I actually forgot how much I did on this thermite revolver

#

but it's chambered for the same cartridge that I designed for a shotgun

light spruce
#

Most people wouldn't say, "shotgun shells in the modern era are dumb. I'll design a new one and then design a fictional gun around it like real people do"

rigid shoal
#

Chiappa Rhino?

light spruce
#

No. Just vaguely similar because revolvers are limited and it fires off the bottom chamber

#

which, despite designing it that way, I'm not actually a fan of using the bottom chamber because it's easier to wind up with your thumb next to the cylinder gap

north torrent
#

That looks like it could hurt people. I would recommend locking it up so children can't get to it.

broken sigil
#

people hurt guns

light spruce
#

I don't lock up my actual guns

#

pretty much if you manage to find one of the two or three 25 minute windows where I'm not at home, you're welcome to take whatever firearms are lying around

tulip orbit
#

and wait for you to get home. 🙂

light spruce
#

that'd be a really bad decision

#

"In general, when teenage girls are passionate about something, it gets made fun of" "idk K-Pop is pretty out there"

#

no idea what the context of that is, but it made me laugh

rare sparrow
#

I was modifying each transform, but removed that since I had a better way to do it, but didn't notice the entire loop was irrelevant at that point LUL

bronze parcel
#

I'm smert :smil:
@rare sparrow what does this do

rare sparrow
#

nothing SMILE

bronze parcel
#

thats what it seemed to me 😄

rare sparrow
#

I added it since I was modifying the transforms each loop, but remove the modification making it do nothing. Then left it there for a while

Nothing? That is absolutely validating the existence of the array elements. Those poor elements were lost amongst a sea of undefined aspirations and null intentions. Now they have become.

what do you think?

fallow finch
#

About the picture

#

Its looks good but what is it

junior meteor
#

@fallow finch appreciate, but if i tell you its purpose, i risk being either troyanned or tomatoed

fallow finch
#

Tomatoed

#

Ok

#

Lol

junior meteor
#

but yeah, i kept asking

#

all those parts, are different BP, i intend to ctrl them and move, so in total, a lot

fallow finch
#

Good so they will rotate individually

junior meteor
#

each of the levels or layers, 377, each zone will store design frame BP, Portal BP, BP with text actor and board..

#

and BP with voice sound actor

#

any way to connect?

fallow finch
#

Well

#

Yes

junior meteor
#

bp attach child actor component?

fallow finch
#

No

#

Make it public variables

#

Connected

#

To master bp

junior meteor
#

hmm

#

whats master bp X

#

ok

#

joke

fallow finch
#

You must have master bp for this

#

And make children

junior meteor

I just realised I put my 4.25 in the games subfolder instead of the versions subfolder

Anyone know if it's safe to just move it?

if it's a source build yes, if it's a binary launcher version then I'm not sure, there is a high chance the launcher might crap itself

ah well

I guess I just leave it where it is

i did increase world_max and i am using 2017 tiles so .. i think i be good

light spruce
#

why so big?

ancient ingot
#

wont be much of an large open world if its tiny would it ?

#

everything in the square

ancient hornet
#

everything is relative, that place could be both as massive as a whole earth in surface or as small as a small island

ancient ingot
#

that is very true

light spruce
#

There's a pretty big gap between tiny and "actual size of Ukraine"

ancient ingot
#

lol

#

i think ukraine is bigger

#

this is just 24x24km

trimmed it dow to 576 from 603
