Be incomplete person, matters not what is your profession or social position.

But certain systems reward a certain kind of person and as a result become filled with that kind of person while pushing away people who don't share those traits.
Like evolution, if animals with thick fur are more likely to survive in a climate then naturally there will end up being more animals with thick fur because the environment is skewed in that direction.
So I blame the system that is set up on social media far more than the individuals.

Do most people who are indie developers living in CA get a PO box in NV (vegas/reno) and then set their business location to NV for tax reasons?
light spruce
Incorporating in foreign states is a complicated thing. There are different registration fees, yearly fees, reporting duties, taxes... it all depends. Unless California is super dogshit about it, it's almost always better to register in the state you actually reside in so that you don't need some third party to act as your designated agent in another state.

Hrms, I wonder how bad would it be to spawn a few hundred actors just as data containers...
the savegame plugin I use doesn't really do UObjects

solid aurora
what do you need from save system ?

save all actors, level and runtime generated, save a bunch of procgen uobjects and structs and stuff
solid aurora
wirting it might actually take less time, than trying to work around some existing one (;
ok
foggy path
yeah, I've just looked at the code for EasyMultiSave trying to figure out if there's some way I could easily extend it
solid aurora
if you don't want it be generic
foggy path
and it looks complicated
solid aurora
it's not that much work actually
foggy path
but it might be because it's a general purpose save system instead of just game-specific
solid aurora
don't bother
you don't know what you will need for next game
and trying to fit it, will take rest of your life ๐
solid aurora
the very dumb version of generic save everything system,
foggy path
it looks like the FArchive and serialization in UObjects is not that complicated I guess
solid aurora
simply iterate over every actor in level
foggy path
I just remember writing a save system in Unity and it was a massive pain in the ass...
solid aurora
then iterate over their properties check for SaveGame and dump them to some data structure
the data strcture might be as simple as TMap<ActorPath, TArray<Properties>>
for loading you do it in reverse, load level iterate over every actor, see if they are in map, load
of you course iterating over 1mln actors is dump xD
dumb*
better have some list of saveable actor classes
foggy path
yeah probably just have an interface on them or something

median wraith
@foggy path I made structs in C++ for the save systems
share the same ones with the objects
foggy path
yeah I've used structs so far which works nicely
but some of it is going to need to be generic, which doesn't really work so nicely with structs
part of some of the procedurally generated stuff will basically have certain things which can be completely different, and I don't want to have a mega-struct which only has some of its fields filled depending on which type of thing it is
(or maybe that would be easier, I dunno at this point)
oh yeah actually loading structs also causes warnings in certain scenarios
f.ex. if you have a UTexture2D* with nullptr as its value --> generates a warning even though it works as expected
this is caused by the thing I mentioned where I have a struct that sometimes doesn't have all of its fields filled :P
median wraith
yeah the UTextures
maybe you can convert these to base64 or something
but even the converters aren't clear
foggy path
Well it never actually needs to store a texture in the save
It always stores just an existing asset ref
Maybe I should try using a soft object pointer, that might avoid the warning while still letting me use it as-is
doesn't solve the other problem though

theres some. They ain't that fancy tho. In fact I want to see more options. Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you try, the camera angle can block certain spherical/cylindrical objects and there doesn't seem to be much you can do about it except some post processing for the parts you notice. But when you do animations, that can be long winded.
yeah its definitely cool. I've seen some great freestyle work in the NPR groups im in.

You don't naturally have a 24 hour day.. it's the cues that sync things up to keep it that way

It's the same problem with napping for me as falling asleep in general... If I'm not feeling sleepy, it just doesn't happen
light spruce
It legitimately takes practice to to set aside a small block of time, fall asleep quick, and then actually get back up afterwards
It's because the waste products from your brain go out through your CSF because it doesn't have a lymphatic system attached to it... and the rate that it occurs is greatly reduced when you're awake

But what if what we see as dreams is actually us in some other universe or dimension

that's what I'm thinking about teleportation, for teleportation to work you have to be copied atom by atom (at least that's how it works in the only real experiment on an apple or something) but is it actually you when you get copied over, same person that entered since now you are created from completely different atoms that are arranged the same

So yeah, if a person is teleported is it really still the same person ๐ค
light spruce
It's why when people are talking about serious things or there's a discussion, I frequently don't make eye contact because reading expressions and body language takes up processing time that makes it harder to focus solely on the context.
If you teleport, you are absolutely a new person and your old self is super dead
The more important question would be "does it matter?"
fluid bloom
ask the guy from The Prestige
broken sigil
or if we get the technology to store our "minds" into a computer (some storage, whatever) and eventually the "mind" (memories, feeling, etc) get transferred into a new body, is it still the same person, when I say person I mean soul or whatever defines a person, a feeling of being "you"
light spruce
The more interesting question would be "if you could make an exact copy of yourself how long does it take before you are two distinctly different people?"

Yeah is kinda stable until the chain locks or slide
finite lark
oh lol I was dead afraid when friend of mine
(who is a bit clumsy)
tried to go down a very stiff ramp
the wheel of his bike bended over
and he fell of for some meters rolling down the ramp
he looked like a mannequin ragdolling
I was dead afraid, I thought he was dead...
but he was able to wake up and walk
however after we checked on him
he couldn't see shit
he was totally blind for like 30 seconds
I was like 16 or so when this happened
fortunately we could take him to the hospital
they checked him and it was nothing
but yeah... that's why I never do dumb stuff trying complicated spots
we even advised him to not doing repeatedly before he went for it
but since a very agile friend of mine did it... he wanted to do it as well
this was in the middle of nowhere, in a place called "lagos de Rabasa" which is like a rocky mountany desert
finite lark
just be careful XD

I just wanted to make small travels some weekends over the area
only dangers so far are the cross roads
make sure to cross when a truck comes xd
finite lark
oh yeah.. defo
hey If I would be there I would join you
I miss going road tripping around
median wraith
well feel free if you somehow end here a day or so xd
finite lark
dunno man, life moves fast, I wouldn't discard it XD
atm it seems I will spend some more years in Barcelona
starting my PhD soon
everything is going well
median wraith
all decent people I know here is working for outsiders as freelances
here the whole thing is dead
or paid like shit
median wraith
yeah I know, well you still with the degree extras things isn't ?
finite lark
master student yes, but I only have to finish my master thesis and I will be hired as a PhD student
and then as a post-doc
but my supervisor will probably want me to go arm or esa
median wraith
that's nice
you could even work as researcher or something I don't know how that works
ala Zaragoza University etc
finite lark
yeah here in BSC we can be research engineers
usually universities don't have as good rates as research centers
finite lark
BSC? yeah I am very lucky to be in one of the top notch research places of Spain..
I am very very fortunate
but still researchers are not very well treated in spain even for the best research entities in the state
I absolutely love my job
but if you look at private research centers, the rates are brutal
like x5 my salary
median wraith
CEOs I know are spot like each 6 moths in the locals news paper etc, more than terrorists
maybe is a sign
finite lark
loool
median wraith
xd
finite lark
that's the plain different between the private and public sector
private academia is a good deal.. but public academia in other countries do a better job keeping their researchers happy
broken sigil
Is from Renault isn't?
@median wraith
Yeah, it's basically Renault, their new ones that got announced are built on the same platform new clio and capture use
median wraith
general industry helps and things should be controlled... let me give an example
If I'm not wrong... in Asturias you got the creators of Ziggurant and other games, and the CEO is technical artist, don't know the duce but if is tech artist should know about every area so can cover the whole team
The different to a company where the CEO is just there because had money and just know how to draw idk what
well the difference is huge
and this last one usually wants more self spam and spot than nacho vidal
finite lark
technical artist or designer? Usually technical artists are more biased towards art while technical designers are in the middle... hum there is still some confusion in the terminology, but yeah go on
LMAO
hahahah
oh yeah...
if the head of your studio is a techy person, the game changes
median wraith
well whatever it is, compare a technical artist or designer where the designer knows more overall than the artist but both cover about all topics
vs a guy that just did mediocre drawings and don't even know what programming means or performance tasks and is CEO
good luck with that
finite lark
heh..
I remember you carried on your back a couple of projects
how are you doing now by the way?
median wraith
imagine Epic wants to hire you now, and for engine programming
