Hello

Anyone here?

ain't nobody here but us chickens

tidal ivy
#

I don't see how some of those parties can possibly expect to win? Ubisoft and CDProjekt are both direct competitors with their own marketplaces - directly proving that you can exist without selling on Steam.

#

Ubisoft in particular, who have both UPlay also sell on EGS, Origin, and Microsoft Store?

#

wait no, I've misread this Ubisoft, CDProjekt and Valve are being sued

#

...and Devolver, who don't have their own marketplace?

rich quiver
#

Devolver because there big indie influence i think

tidal ivy
#

makes no sense

#

also kChamp!?

#

also, who the hell is Rust LLC?

cursive crypt
#

Maybe dudes who write that hype lang?

pearl elk
#

I think they mean Rust LTD, Rust LLC is a furniture company

#

there is a Rust Law LLC

cursive crypt
#

There was a game too, I think 🤔

pearl elk
#

I dont think games are allowed to sue companies though

#

not yet anyway 😉

tidal ivy
#

I think they're trying to target RUST Ltd - but they didn't even name the company correctly

pearl elk
#

Well this is the US courts, I saw some dude using Lord of the Rings as a reason as to why we need to make Trump King of Gondor

#

they batshit yo

tidal ivy
#

problem with a class action like this, is that if anyone one claim gets invalidated, the rest gets thrown out

failing to even name the defendant doesn't get you very far 😂

wow @fresh heath

Im considering getting into this. My family breeds dogs so I have an idea that could net me a small fortune.

#

but shhhh. dont tell anyone

flint pier
#

Why do you get all the ideas and inspiration when you are 130 kilometers away from your computer?

shrewd shore
#

Congrats on the new role btw @dense storm

fathom wadi
#

I want to know why I get all the ideas and have no money to develop them?

flint pier
#

Sell your ideas. Buy gamestop stocks. (It's what all the kids are doing, or something)

fathom wadi
#

you would think tho... that I could come up with an idea that takes no money to evolve. But nope. They are all freaking expensive with either human time or expense 😄

pearl elk
#

If you had more money you'd just have bigger ideas you couldnt develop, its all relative

#

lots of terms that I am unfamiliar with so lets start with dd. Does that refer to some common program I dont know or is that some windows internal thing?

#

right...yeah...well there goes that 😄

#

sure, when I last bothered to check this problem I came across a bunch of articles that all mentioned different methods with most of them relying on proprietary software that one needs to pay for

#

with the goal specifically of being that the boot drive is copied wholesale so everything just works exactly as it did before

#

sure, but I am not on linux and have no plan on going there since i have no actual use for it

#

😄

#

well still weird that you cant just change where VS stores files it generates mid compile

broken sigil
#

last time I had to do that I used windows "imaging tool", created an image of my C drive. Plugged in the new drive and installed windows (basically just copies the data over) from the created image file
(if I'm not missing the point of this conversation completely)

gray basalt
#

spacesniffer shits itself because funnily enough..there isnt enough diskspace once vs starts hogging all of it so the system freezes up 😄

#
1>  c1xx: note: please visit https://aka.ms/pch-help for more details
1>c1xx : fatal error C1076: compiler limit: internal heap limit reached```
so I get these beautiful errors while building the engine (I just updated to 4.26; so I gotta rebuild a lot of stuff)
looked online, someone suggested making sure C drive has enough space and sure enough I see that when the VS build kicks off more and more and more disk space is being taken up while its also using more than 14gb ram
#

hmm maybe I will just mess with the build configuration instead of getting more diskspace 😄

#

Welp, I changed line 230 of VCToolChain.cs to be /Zm400 instead of /Zm1000 and that seems to have fixed the issue. C drive is now not increasing at all in size anymore... just going to leave this running and go to bed @zinc matrix

#

oh nevermind, just before I was about to go it seems like it still increases in size but once there are only about 3gb of space left it suddenly starts deleting whatever crap it put there and more space is freed up...whatever

#

I'm not exactly sure what channel would be most appropriate for this, but here is better than nothing. Are there any projects currently using blockchain based tokens within their game? (any assistance on where I could discuss this would be great as well!)

If you have received ads from someone from this server, you can prolly just DM one or maybe ping them all. We got some wave of cases here like that recently.

I think the dogecoin rally might have ripped. Hasn't gone up at all and just lost value :D

cursive crypt
#

Might be temp hype wave while the GME was accelerating.

#

Might be not, after 10 years.

soft night
#

acma kinda got saved on it they business

broken sigil
#

Kinda mad I didn't invest in bitcoin while it was "cheap" a couple of years ago

foggy path
#

yeah they were memeing on dogecoin on twitter the day before yesterday

cursive crypt
#

Dunno. I just see the happiness of ppl "screwing" funds.

foggy path
#

with the WSB accounts and everything

foggy path
#

so it bounced doge to 0.08 for maybe an hour or two, then it was around 0.04-0.05 and now it's going down again :D

broken sigil
#

Lol

foggy path
#

my advice for everyone who says they feel like they missed out with bitcoin... just buy it now

#

don't spend all your money you would be willing to invest into it right now though - buy a small amount now, buy a small amount next month, and so on

#

you'll average out at least some of the changes in value, so although it's pretty high now, you might get it cheaper next month

foggy path
#

lol

#

keep in mind that it's extremely high risk and at least in my opinion you should have other investments as well

#

so I definitely would not put all my money into it (and I haven't in my own case)

deep glen
#

had to sell my bitcoin (like a few perfect) in december to cover my rent.

#

then suddenly worth 30k

#

@broken sigil I don't know if I believe those tbh :P but we'll see I guess

broken sigil
#

Yeah, true

foggy path
#

I sold my btc some time ago because it looks so much like the 2017 rally and I'm guessing it'll lose value

broken sigil
#

Well if I ever end up in a position where I can fart out 30k without noticing I know where it's gonna be going

deep glen
#

^

foggy path
#

but I'm probably going to rebuy when it looks less like the 2017 rally :P

cursive crypt
#

Is it 30k now?

broken sigil
#

Yep

cursive crypt
#

f

foggy path
#

you don't need 30k to buy it... you can buy 0.01 bitcoin for 300 dollars

#

or probably even 0.001 for 30 bucks

cursive crypt
#

Ah, okay.

#

Is it floating point? 🤔

foggy path
#

I sure hope not lol

#

you can buy fairly small quantities like that, I think I probably just bought it every two weeks or three weeks for about 100 usd a time when I was investing into it

broken sigil
#

I hope that 0.001 of bitcoin is at least saved as double precision 😅

foggy path
#

looks like smallest order size on the exchange I use is 0.0002 for bitcoin

cursive crypt
#

Maybe if you can buy fast enough, you can quantise on positive bit flipping 🤔

foggy path
#

so if you want to just put a small amount of money into it for fun, it's possible to do cheap :)

cursive crypt
#

Thanks for the info.

#

See you as billionare after... 300 years? What was that up.

#

Ah, no. 10

foggy path
#

no fucking way it'll hit trillion in 10 years...

#

there'd be so many people who hold 1 btc who'd now be superrich

#

although I guess that's what people said about it hitting 30k 10 years ago...

#

:P

cursive crypt
#

That the fun part of gambling with reasoning.

broken sigil
#

10 years ago bitcoin was something like 0.1 usd...

median wraith
#

I had some friend on it by that time

#

and we don't know anything from he since years ago

foggy path
#

I mined dogecoins in 2014

#

I wonder what their value was back then...

#

Coindesk only has a 1 year chart at longest, it was 0.001 usd a year ago

#

and it was 0.08 at highest now...

#

it would have been worth even less than 0.001 years ago, probably add one or two more zeros at least

cursive crypt

Let's make uecoin

some crypto coins keep you keep on going?

pearl elk
#

what some people dont understand about hedge funds is they dont only hedge against losses

#

so you might be hurting some company you like by ripping hedge funds a new one, but each to their own 🙂

deep glen
#

the problem lies in "company you like"

pearl elk
#

its a problem to like companies?

#

I mean I like to eat, its a shame theres no wikipedia for food

deep glen
#

imho you shouldnt

#

they dont like you

#

only your wallet :p

pearl elk
#

dont let your employer hear you talk like that shrugs

deep glen

pearl elk

sole trader or you work for your own company

#

because I bet you freelance as a sole trader

#

which means you work for companies 🙂

deep glen

i might like the people working there

but thats it

cursive crypt

We'll work for Epic 👍

pearl elk

I like Tim Sweeney therefore I like Epic 🙂

deep glen
#

even when they'd enforce crunch?

cursive crypt
#

That love

pearl elk
#

If I didnt agree with the CEO I wouldnt be here

#

have you ever worked in the mining sector Luos?

#

12hr days, 6 days a week is standard... no one complains about crunch cept for entitled games journos

deep glen
#

lol

pearl elk
#

Ive worked jobs where no matter how much I tried they wouldnt give me overtime, it sucked

jovial talon
#

Mining sector is crunching rocks

pearl elk
#

As a person who has no wife or kids Im dedicated to my work so I dont mind putting in the extra time, I dont expect to be treated better but I can see people with families get allowances others dont

#

but it'll get branded as me crunching and being a huge negative by the media "companies" whether I like it or not 🙂

#

If we are talking sweatshops in third world countries thats alittle different, but if youre complaining that your latte is luke warm check yourself lol

deep glen
#

im all for allowing people who want to work more, to work more
but if you cant, dont want to, dont need to, or not able to... you should not be forced/pressured/manipulated into it.

pearl elk
#

Thast beyond my point though, if you like toilet paper theres atleast one company you like

deep glen
#

just because i need it, doesnt mean i have to like it

pearl elk
#

hedge funds hedge against companies which are undervalued too, so a little toilet paper manufacturer in the arse end of somewhere can get by

#

yeah but thats what I mean, maybe we need to be more appreciative of those things we do have an not take em for granted. We cant let all the companies burn just for the lolz

#

Maybe you should like those companies that provide what you need without making a huge deal about the fact they do the world a great service

#

I like my bins being emptied, my roads fixed, tree's cut, sewers running etc

#

love all those guys ♥️

#

I dont feel bad for lollipop people out in 40c heat or pouring rain cuz I know they earn like double-triple what I do, thats why they do it.

#

but lets say a hedge was betting on them going up cuz theyre undervalued and that hedge went bust then those people could lose their jobs because the company cant afford to expand or keep its size. But sure, I made a quick $100 off GME

#

its an equation, it has a way of balancing itself

Guys what were some projects you did as a beginner that you really learned from? (preferably small/easy projects)

in ue4 i made a short trailer for a fake game over a weekend.. part sequencer cinematic part staged gameplay and careful editing,.. but it was a great learning experience covering many aspects of the engine

Sure Oculus store, I'll come and try buying stuff on you

sage ermine
#

Trying to get from other suns... looks quite good

zinc matrix
#

Uh, i though there was no off-topic section, so here I go copying and paste the bit that I type

#

I was meaning optimization in the core of the engine itself. I mean: will an squared terrain with fauna e flora with animations and scripting happening (like birds catching fruits and eating them etc.) this kind of emulation is better in Unreal than Godot?
I really want a simple game in terms of shaders and stuff, just simple lights and models made with less polygons. I do not want fancy particles floating around a squared creature..

#

uh and going for a Linux exclusive is too bad idea? I read that different distributions have different bugs so it narrows more the scope of people consuming the game, because I really do not feel installing Debian, Arch and other obscure Linux-modified-kernel and debugging all, since I barely understand what a {function} means.

#

And any opinions on DirextX vs. Vulkan based on future?

#

and if someone has a website, blog or podcast about computer in general that embraces tech noobs I am digging, hardly.unreal

#

someone gave me the tip of running the finished game on each distro that will be distributed but since I made a deal with myself that I will only play my game (for a long bit), the last thing I want is triple-booting and repeating the bit all over again and having to learn how to identify and correct different bugs in different platforms and ohgirl! i am too dumb at tech, you can not imagine

merry ermine
#

If you barely understand the basics you should learn them rather than dropping down into deep optimization topics. Make a fun game, do not get lost in the shiny tech features.

#

For instance unless you are super passionate about Linux gaming why target that platform and then a couple sentences later call yourself a tech noob.

zinc matrix
#

Are you typing more?

#

😄

#

Well I did not mean optimization topic talk, maybe I did expressed myself poorly, this one may fit better: out of the box, which will be more performant for a open-world simulation Godot or Unreal?

#

For real, fancy stuff bores me. Cartoon and other art styles that escapes photorealism for me is the thing. If I want beautie reality I rather go trek or hike in a national park...

#

But I do i think I understand the more realistic a engine can be, more optimized it is. At least It is what I do think! So that is why I am asking if Godot does the job! Because looking at the default of both, Godot really looks a game rather than a beautiful simulated real light out-of-the-box like Unreal.

#

I am passionate about the idea of free stuff. I am proposing (to myself) spending a whole year and even a bit of months more developing a 100% free game. If it is good enough I will ask donations in a small corner of my website!

merry ermine
#

Unreal has better 3d quality, noy an expert in Godot although it may be better if you are focused on Linux

#

Unreal is free unless you make a million dollars and then it is just 5 percent

#

Are you making a 2d game or a 3d game?

zinc matrix
#

A 3d one. I was minding a 2d but the final result is a isometric one and 3d is way easier

#

At least I am faster and better at doing low-poly modelling and animation.

#

I was thinking in using play-dooh for the isometric 2d models but ah.... 3d is way cleaner and tech and faster 🙂

merry ermine
#

Well since this is an unreal forum I would suggest Unreal, not being a Godot expert.

zinc matrix
#

Plus the light, a mushroom glowing in a cave is very nice.

merry ermine
#

But some say the Linux support is easier in Godot so you really need to do your own research on google

zinc matrix
#

Unreal has Linux support

#

And the most complex mechanic I am thinking is setting a textbox that you type commands to set tasks to the main creature do inside a building

#

Rest is (and what I will occupy doing before trying such a thing) is walking and jumping and entering in a vehicle

merry ermine
#

Yes but having researched engines briefly the chatter is Unreal on linux is harder than godot. Again research and make your own opinion.

zinc matrix
#

but Unreal is indeed better at 3d?

merry ermine
#

Yes

zinc matrix
#

I know it is but in a low poly scope, does it goes first too?

#

I do not understand how a low poly differs from high poly stuff in performance..

merry ermine
#

From what I read it is easier to develop 3d games in unreal

#

Low or high poly is not the question, it is ease of use, features, and power

#

If you are making low poly models in the first place the engine does not matter, all engines will perform better with less polygons on screen

zinc matrix
#

Yeah.. i took a look at godot doc and unreal and blah, there is no even comparison between a company running a software since 98 with lots of experts in each session and a indie one from late 2000’

#

Did not tried yet Unreal but I got pretty lost at the GUI development in Godot and I did even finished a simple 2d game there

red wyvern
#

Yeah that'd definitely be a problem. There are solutions out there to these problems however. If anybody is interested in this topic, please send me a message. I'd love to discuss this with projects that are interested

merry ermine
#

I liked that tutorial for getting started with unreal. Very easy to follow.

zinc matrix
#

Just trying to squeeze a bit more of my question, I really like the idea of free software blah blah blah and even using completely FOSS software to do the whole art, model, music and text I understand that is very dumb exclude years of knowledge of experts into a copy of something already made in the past.

#

But again I did not know about how a low poly config. Would behave in these engines.

#

And plus, if there is too much distros on Linux making it quasi a debug for various OS a thing when dev. I just will use this license key sitting here of Windows...

#

liking or not, Windows approach a unity feel way better than Unix based systems

#

and I like people connect to one great thing rather splitting up in headquarters that do the same but with a different process

#

uhh haha I got emotional

merry ermine
#

It is up to you whether you like the idea of FOSS or shipping a game more. I tend to avoid religion myself when it comes to expressing my creativity. If your goal is building up FOSS then go that route, but you need to make tradeoffs and decisions to get things done.

zinc matrix
#

nah, I think in this case sticking a Win10 is the smart choice... (or prove me contrary)

merry ermine
#

Why even mention Linux evlusive then? Again, make up your mind and get that pie out of the sky.

zinc matrix
#

plus I would get very mad at some random meat-eater acessing my code game and adding guns and violence in a such pacific and tech world of creatures shaped-squared

#

Because free software is nice!

#

How I wanted a conflicted free mineral computer, open source hardware and software

Anybody with a 3080? How does the 10gb memory hold up? Do you wish you had gone for the 3090 for the memory or is it just obscenely expensive and not worth it?

#

I should add I mean more from a content creation perpsective

fluid bloom
#

well you can fit 1205 8 bit frame buffers at 4k res in 10 GB 🤔

#

I really have no idea, I imagine 10 GB is plenty

tall jacinth
#

well a lot of people were worried about 10gb not being enough for rendering and that sort of stuff. Now that I require an upgrade, I would like to learn of people's thoughts and experiences, if those fears were overblown or if 10gb really isn't enough

#

especially in light of the 2080ti being at least 1gb more than the 3080

#

the natural choice should be the 3080 ti but who knows when that is coming

soft night
#

well you not think of 3090?

tall jacinth
#

3090 is crazy expensive, it's almost like a practical joke nvidia is playing lol

#

I'm in NZ so prices for me are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more expensive than anywhere else

soft night
#

in US the prices seems to get 100dollar hike up

fluid bloom
#

over 2000 euros in Finland atm

tall jacinth
#

minimum 2471 euroa in NZ for a 3090

zinc matrix
#

bitch believe it

#

and i cant even believe it

#

sorry felt like that was needed

tall jacinth
#

I have no idea what you mean but I agree with you 😄

cursive crypt
#

Deja vu. 3090 you can't buy and if you can, it is expensive. Do you need it? 🤷‍♂️ Do you buy a new Fiat or a new Mercedes?

tall jacinth
#

yea this is why I'd probably go for a 3080 if pressed, but thought I'd ask from owners how it's going

cursive crypt
#

There are tons of reviews, go check them. You can see speed vs memory compared to older cards. Draw conclusions.

#

Think what you want to use it for.

unborn lotus
#

Its like all retailers got together and doubled prices out of the blue

tall jacinth
#

@cursive crypt I've been checking reviews for months but they are all geared towards a very simplistic gamer-oriented manner. I'd rather hear first hand accounts.

cursive crypt
tall jacinth
#

And as I have written in my first post, I am asking from a content creation perspective

cursive crypt
#

This is veeeeeery wide purpose to have a reasoning about.

#

Content creation.

zinc matrix
#

horny simulator

unborn lotus
cursive crypt
#

Nah, Eastern Europe 2300+ euro for 3090

tall jacinth
#

so of course I mean creating 3d work, artwork that goes into games etc.

unborn lotus
cursive crypt
#

Armm... dude, content creation is like I want make cars. What cars?

tall jacinth
tall jacinth
cursive crypt
#

Is it 2k workflow, is it 4k, is it video, is it Z modelling?

unborn lotus
cursive crypt
#

How much apps in parallel, etc, and etc. Think for your workflow.

tall jacinth
#

here's what I wrote in my original question:
is the 10gb enough?

Very simple question which someone with a 3080 who works with 3d models in blender, 3ds max, maya etc. can kinda sorta give an answer to

#

workflow details then make things overly complicated. Those can be worked around and change depending on . ... workflow

#

so my chief question was about memory

#

because that's what everyone comaplined about at launch

pearl elk
#

So I heard memory prices are going up and graphics cards are going to get more expensive

tall jacinth
#

that the 3080 will not have enough

cursive crypt
#

Well... yes and no. Consider most GPUs are 8 GiB VRAM and many devs use such for content creation - so you are good to go.

pearl elk
#

3080Ti is on the way, 20GB probably but wont be cheap, it'll sit just under 3090 in price

cursive crypt
#

But if you want to stream in 2k while doing 4k video editing for your Unreal game you might run out.

#

That's why you think what you need.

unborn lotus
#

Its a bit weird that the new 3060 has 12gb

cursive crypt
#

More the better 🙂

tall jacinth
#

I don't stream in 2k while working on 4k video. If I did I would have definitely asked about something so specific. My main work is rendering. If the 3080's 10g is a handicap and stops the processor on the card from being utilised to its capacity then that would be bad of course

cursive crypt
#

Well, you said content creation. 3d modelling 🤷‍♂️ I can easily imagine you need more, depends on what you do.

pearl elk
#

GPU rendering you want more RAM then right

cursive crypt
#

If it is Z, sure 🙂

summer tulip
#

you can run out of vram on high res renders but it's rather unlikely if ur doing fine now, it really depends on the scene

tall jacinth
#

but the 3080 10gb is faster as well, so there's that variable

I think you need a DGX workstation 🙂

Ive seen 3070s and 3090s here but no 80s

tall jacinth
pearl elk
#

3090s are odd, some of them you're paying like $300-600AUD more just for a different brand/cooler

tall jacinth
#

considering how expensive even the cheapest card is here, buyers aren't quick to get them

pearl elk
#

I dunno why PNY, Leadtek and stuff are dumping theirs so cheap

tall jacinth
#

the usual popular choices are evga asus gigabyte msi

soft night
#

one time there was PSU had hard time to deliver

pearl elk
#

Asus and MSI are super expensive tbh, theyre not even offering a whole lot in some cases

#

TUF series is cheap but it benches so bad

#

even a Galax benches better lol

tall jacinth
pearl elk
#

and EVGA my god could they have made an uglier cooler 😛

tall jacinth
#

what pissed me off a bit was how ampere won't support more than 4 outputs. So even if you have a gigabyte aorus xtreme with 6 ports you can still only get 4 output

pearl elk
#

that should be cheap just to get the ugly off the 3080 shelf lol

#

I got lucky with my Seasonic PSU, thought I was going to be waiting months, poked the reseller abit and boom, 2 weeks later I get the shipping notification 🙂

tall jacinth
#

unfortunately for me there is no stock in the country so can only ship once it arrives here

pearl elk
#

yeah I think mine was a case of misplaced stock, I had seen they ordered some in and then that stock suddenly disappeared 2 days later when I placed my order

#

bit of a worry when you know more about their stock situation than they do lol

tall jacinth
#

yeah things are getting more and more unprofessional everywhere

#

I hear in the US some retailers are cancelling customer orders and buying cards for themselves (the employees)

#

ironically similar to hedgefund managers

pearl elk
#

hey if I ordered a pallet of 3090s they aint going on the shelf lol

#

be like on Oprah, everyone gets a 3090

I have a feeling that a moderator accidentally pinged everyone, when warning that person who attempted to ping everyone

Certain channels can have separate settings from the rest of the server, so maybe the everyone ping was accidentally left on haha.

Does that happen in mobile apps? I've only seen it so far on desktop

I mean either way, its not good since its annoying for everyone but its quite funny when discord begins to get spammed on different groups and everyone joins in asking whats happening

charred shadow

also, discord warns you if you try to ping lots of people, and you need to acknowledge that before pinping. So, it's not accidental

limpid pike

easy. In Blender, you add a Particle system and set it to Hair -> Strands. Then tweak it, export as Alembie (.abc) file and import to UE4. Then create a new Groom asset, set the alembic reference in the asset. Add it to a Groom Component on your mesh and voila . Tweak from there.

silent estuary

they didnt change it to 0 since then due to compatibility

graceful ember

in this example

this is what luau is doing

when it calls an object

fathom wadi
#

it was also a goof way to keep typesafe scripting early on I guess. We didn't always have the mem management we have now. Can't let artists/scripters get too powerful. They might reduce the high end wages with their generalist skills 😄

pearl elk
#

but fors dont end they break 😦

fathom wadi
#

they complete and they break

graceful ember
#

script.Parent finds the PLAYERMODEL
Parent.Playermodel find the part named playermodel
Playermodel.Other opens the directory Other inside Playermodel
Other.BodyVelocity gets the BodyMover named BodyVelocity
BodyVelocity.Velocity defines hover as the Velocity variable in the BodyMover

pearl elk
#

elif wait for for to end while do not unto others as for does for you

I would've used lua while true do

it's a pain in the ass to start

but really useful once you realise how it works

its like actionscript :p

I'm thinking about upgrading my pc in the near future, which CPU would you guys recommend in the $8-900 range?

#

I have no idea but I prefer to spend a bigger chunk of money and then be able to have that hardware for 6-7 years rather than buying something cheaper every 3-4 years

#

I'ts about 7 years since I last upgraded my CPU and I'm starting to feel it

#

Thought the better i9's were 700+ 😮

#

Are you in America?

#

Might be my sales tax pushing up the price, I'll go check

#

What's the sales tax in Germany?

humble remnant
#

A CPU in the 800~900 range might be the 5950X

#

Haven't looked into prices recently

#

But if you're looking for CPU horsepower, you might as well check out workstation grade ones

nova swallow
#

I'll gladly get a cheaper one, I'm bad at hardware and thought they had gotten more and more expensive the same way GPU's have

humble remnant
#

Depends on which one you're looking at

#

AMD has 16 core variants for their consumer chips

nova swallow
#

Found an Intel Core i9 10900K 3.7 GHz 20MB for $620 and it could probably last me well over 7 years

#

Then again, I don't know if it's overpriced since it was released just last year or if it's good value for the money spent

humble remnant
#

I assume you need it for UE4

nova swallow
#

Yeah, I want to reduce compile times etc

humble remnant
#

But do keep in mind that the more cores get utilized, the more RAM you need

nova swallow
#

Yeah, my rig is already old enough that I'll need to upgrade the MOBO as well so I'll have to get a new GPU and RAM as well. I'm currently sitting on 8gb DDR3 RAM which also slow things down

humble remnant
#

Since you're doing production, I'd recommend at least 32 GB, I'm on 16 GB and it goes full pretty often with an 8-core

nova swallow
#

I'm with you on that

humble remnant
#

Yeah, kinda a shot in the dark for your budget over there

nova swallow
#

I'm already sitting at an SSD as well, the problem comes with multitasking which might also have a lot to do with my 8GB of slow RAM

#

I just thought CPU's were more expensive tbh, I have no idea and I would usually just ask a friend for help with which parts to chose

#

And since my current CPU is 7 years old I thought it might be to blame as well

#

My current rig is probably 1K newly bought, I spend as little as possible on GPU

#

Because neither my game or the games I play require any GPU

#

I have a GTX 960

#

Thought It didn't make much of a difference if I'm not working on something that's heavily graphical

#

Gotcha

humble remnant
#

I'd much rather ask what's your current budget for the new PC?

nova swallow
#

Probably around $1000 then

#

I would of preferably spent around $250 on GPU in my mind but I'll balance out the CPU and GPU instead

cursive crypt
#

Sad

#

Small money.

#

These PCs are expensive nowadays.

#

If youp upgrade your CPU, don't forget you need probably and new Motherboard.

#

Which more moeny.

nova swallow
#

I don't think I'll need a new PCU and I wont need a new storage drive

#

Yes I'll need MOBO, CPU, GPU and RAM

cursive crypt
#

Yeah, that saves up. You can always upgrade them easily later too.

#

Maybe RAM leave for later 🤔

#

That not so bad. Add the MB and more or less you are there.

nova swallow
#

Pretty sure I have Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB in my current PC

humble remnant
#

Uhhhhhh

cursive crypt
#

Well... Focus on the "mandatory" upgrades. RAM is very easy to add later.

humble remnant
#

I have a small idea but it's kinda cursed

cursive crypt
#

Tho you will need more ofc.

nova swallow
#

Yes, but I'm sure I want to upgrade RAM when I have to buy DDR3

humble remnant
#

Linus did a video yesterday (or recently idr) where he made a PC that competes with the Xbox Series X in about the same budget

fresh heath
humble remnant
#

However half the parts are of questionable quality and that's why I'm saying it's cursed

cursive crypt
#

Well, if you have leftover budget, buy ram ofc. At least 16 is fine.

nova swallow
#

Not sure I want "questionable quality" 😂

cursive crypt
#

Also verify that your old PSU can up the new hardware.

#

Nonquestionable costs.

#

Nah... I think if he goes with new CPU, he needs that MB anyway.

#

These are the basics you put the rest on. I would focus on them as quality.

nova swallow
#

I'll definitely get a new MB anyway

#

I'm not sure but the MB could honestly be close to 10 years old

cursive crypt
#

CPU > GPU > MB = RAM

nova swallow
#

I can't recall when I bought it

#

Yes but I've always thought that if I'm going to get new/more RAM I might as well get DDR4 and then I need a new MB and then I've needed a new GPU and probably CPU as well

#

Will an intel i7 4790K work as well?

cursive crypt
#

MB is the base.

#

If you change it, you change CPU and RAM (likely)

nova swallow
#

I'll ask a friend for help with that part

humble remnant
#

If you need some CPU horsepower at a budget, I'd recommend checking second hand

#

There's solid options like a 6900K that are really damn good for multitasking and games

nova swallow
#

Divivor recommended the Intel Core i7 9700K, seems fine to me. And he upgraded from the same CPU as I currently have

humble remnant
#

Do keep in mind the budget

#

Also the 9700K isn't hyperthreaded iirc

cursive crypt
#

True, lol. Well....

#

Cores is better than htreads.

#

They not much tho.

humble remnant
#

Many enterprises are starting to get rid of their X99 (and equivalent) parts, so you might be in luck to snag one of those at a discount

nova swallow
#

The budget isn't superstrict, it's more of a guideline since I upgrade very seldom anyways. Last time I bought anything other than a SSD was 7 years ago

humble remnant
#

Hyperthreading is useful for multithread workloads more than anything

#

For gaming it barely makes a difference, but in production it does

#

Oh, and also in DX12/Vulkan, those are a lot more focused at using multiple threads

nova swallow
#

If it was for gaming I would probably only need to upgrade the GPU and maybe RAM. But the games I play don't really require any performance at all

#

Yes I'll most likely go with the one you sent

humble remnant
#

It won't work

cursive crypt
humble remnant
#

Unless you delve deep into some shady BIOSes

#

Cores absolutely, but I'm able to find entire X99 PCs for this 1000$ budget

#

With an upgrade on everything

#

At least locally

cursive crypt
#

That nice, maybe Little can look up for such.

humble remnant
#

When at a budget, always look second hand

cursive crypt
#

Your setup?

humble remnant
#

The one I'm looking at is a 6900K/980Ti/4x8 GB DDR4, which is pretty solid

#

But it should be possible to find just mobo/CPU/RAM combos where you can slide in your 960 for the moment

cursive crypt
#

I'm so sorry.

#

Tho, I'm 4c/8t too 😉

humble remnant
#

I member the days I was on a 4c/8t laptop but after just my server, goddamn is it bad now

cursive crypt
#

Haha... sure, I was waiting to make a big jump again (each 5+ years). Waiting for the 5960x series.

humble remnant
#

You'll always wait

#

Just get enough money and commit to something

cursive crypt
#

Zen4? Dunno sounds far.

#

I really hope for this spring/summer to upgrade.

#

Depends on the hardware supply and releases 🙂

humble remnant
#

Don't get spoiled tbh

#

Once you try something better, you'll want it

cursive crypt
#

More Discord for me 😄

humble remnant
#

I went up to a decent PC and now pretty much everything else is a slugfest in comparison

#

It's cursed once you go up a class

cursive crypt
#

Oh, sure it is... I tested from that honey when I bought the current rig.

#

Now, I want to build UE and while I get that lump from my nostril, it just finishes compilation.

humble remnant
#

Rebuilding the engine for a lunch's time is always nice

nova swallow
#

Thanks for the help guys, very informative

Does Unreal works good with an 1280x720 screen resolution?

#

my most ergonomic position is on my bed with my laptop on a desk & wireless keyboard and mouse

#

And the native resolution is too small and scaling things is so bad at ubuntu 18 that does not worth it the trouble

#

yes it is basically a mix way of saying after a bike spin I decided to go with Linux

#

there is too much windows on cities, we should have more penguins

#

actually was because I believe one day we will be able to feed carnivore animals with lab meat, so everything can live in good fluency without hurting others

#

so it is ok to have a penguin on the subconscious of my OS

#

and maybe if we can build solar panels that absorb 100% of radiation and create a more luminous-economic lamp than natural light, we do not need windows

#

omg I am so high

#

And dumb

#

that kind of tech in light and solar panels suffices that little problem

#

we are worried of a huge black hole appearing near the center core of servers computers

#

dislocating that would take a huge amount energy making creatures have to use 22 hours of tech per day instead 24, for a whole month

#

anyway, there is cool toboggans around national parks in the first habitable planet

#

Wait does creatures use vitamin?

#

first I was thinking in robots that transform fruit into energy for their batteries but setting a quasi equal real life setting can be educative

#

It feels nice teaching the importance of adequate ratio of omega 3 & 6 intake and even managing vitamin intake as a proper insight to what is happening under our bodies

Making first-person shooters?

pearl elk
#

its for processing cat photos

steady sorrel
#

First I would like to be familiar with the Engine itself

#

I have made one game but it's no good as I didn't know much about the Engine

pearl elk
#

Did you try the umm, UnrealEngine channel 🙂

steady sorrel
#

I was on the lookout for UE servers today and found this one so I haven't yet asked much

fresh heath
#
#

It has a lot of videos for beginners

steady sorrel
#

The lounge area seemed perfect to ask for YT channels but if it isn't the right channel then I would ask once in the UE channel

steady sorrel
steady sorrel
#

So will try now

#

Thx tho

#

Is there any way I can use UE from my phone? Any app for it or something?

fresh heath
#

No

cursive crypt
#

lmao

steady sorrel
#

Oof

#

Ok

cursive crypt
#

You can run UE apps tho

fresh heath
#

Things made with UE

steady sorrel
#

Ya that i know

#

From the packaging options

cursive crypt
#

You know... UE is veryy... heavy 🙂

steady sorrel
#

Oh way too heavy than i thought

cursive crypt
#

Your mobile will burn to ashes.

steady sorrel
#

Thats just true

steady sorrel
#

Oh im not going

#

Im stickin around over here

#

Atleast for a min

#

There ain't any fun in sleeping

#

I wanted UE basics bro not yodeling skills

#

What do you guys think about the topic I should take when making my first game? I have made one but it's just... I can say nothing about it.

pearl elk
#

yodeling is an important fps skill

humble remnant
#

An important skill to vent in the most difficult of situations

whats the current opinion on AMD vs Intel? looking to possibly build a new pc for gamedev w/ unreal

orchid yacht
#

Hello, so I made this code in Visual Studio 2019 and tried running it in command prompt. However, instead of telling me what my tip was it closes the window. Does anyone know how I can solve this?
`#include <iostream>

int main() {

int tip = 0;

std::cout << "Enter tip amount: ";
std::cin >> tip;
std::cout << "You paid " << tip << " dollars\n";

}`

quasi loom
#

it likely does tell you what your tip is

#

but

#

immediately after that the program ends

#

so it probably happens very quickly

#

do another std::cin right after and i bet you youll see it

orchid yacht
#

yes, i know that. Is there anyway to stop it?

#

oh thanks!

quasi loom
#

wait for more input with another std::cin

#

or look up c++ sleeping

orchid yacht
#

big brain🧠

#

thank you!

#

wait nvm

#

it doesn't work

#

it simply closes when i press enter

steady sorrel
#

Hey guys!

#

Ya all busy I guess? Probably busy...

@quasi loom I would always go with intel as personally they've always had better reliability to me. I do wonder if they'll be around for much longer though after apple have basically undercut them with their own CPU's. Buy and large intels stronger individual threads and hyperthreading technology beats amds more numerous but weaker ones. I would always go with intel if you're looking at anything high intensity

fathom wadi
#

intel also sold processors with flaws in for years, knew about it, and sold them anyway. Loyalty to Intel is like loyalty to Jabba the Hut.

soft night
#

intel for cpu it have being for years since amd bough ati

fathom wadi
#

not since the recent threadrippers came out.

pearl elk
#

Intel are going to be alright, they manufacturer in the US which gives them more security

#

If war breaks out in Taiwan lots of other people are screwed so would surprise me if Intel arnt throwing money at boeing to make it happen lol

fathom wadi
#

they cant go anywhere with government investments anyway. It would be like ARM dropping off. Just wont happen. But in terms of what they are useful for, I think the tide had changed. Being that more gamers are becoming game devs and more game devs are using more cores, it makes sense that the cheaper, quicker option is on the table for some time to come yet.

fluid bloom
#

Buy and large intels stronger individual threads and hyperthreading technology beats amds more numerous but weaker ones.
there is nothing special about hyperthreading, AMD has had the same tech for ages

fathom wadi

yeah and hyperthreading is only useful in specific cases. It's not like everything uses it
