[fringe sundial]

and matrices

[carmine frigate]

have the complete binas in there aswell

[fringe sundial]

pretty sweet calculator, costed me like 20 bucks and carried me through whole school and uni

but it was on the absolute edge of ban

[carmine frigate]

cuz not every test u was allowed to bring ur binas

[fringe sundial]

im lucky that it looked the same as others that were allowed

[tidal ivy]

thing is, a calculator like that is absolutely fine and serves a purpose

[fringe sundial]

yeh, but why do IOS and windows calculators model around the shit calculators

where operations are instant

[tidal ivy]

it's definitely better than the 'instant' ones - the idea of replacing a calculator like that with a pseudo-programming language is nuts

[fringe sundial]

instead of something like that

[tidal ivy]

because that's what people are familiar with

[fringe sundial]

they literally can still be used as the instant mode

if you want

[tidal ivy]

though I do agree I'd prefer to have the equation editable on the top line

[fringe sundial]

given you are on a phone, that has a keyboard, or on a PC, the editable equation is what makes the most obvious sense

ive heard of people who just used python as a calculator

using the interpreter that way

>> 1+3
4

[carmine frigate]

if u dont know order of operators that formula calc is gunna mess u up

[fringe sundial]

instant calc is going to mess u up much harder

nothing like having a mistake halfway and retyping the entire thing

[carmine frigate]

4 + 3 * 9 =

thats verry hatrd for some ppl

go ask ppl out on the street and many wil answer wrong

[fringe sundial]

the thing on the hp calcs

is that if you want it in order

you can use them exactly the same way as a instant calculator

if you click =

it calcs

but if then you press an operator

it inmediately goes "Abs *"

(if you pressed *)

and Abs is the result from the last operation, the one that still shows in the screen

so lets say you are doing that 4+3*9 thing, but done instant

press 4 + 3 =

4 + 3
9

press * 9 =

abs * 9
81

[ashen kindle]

POV: you turned on forward rendering

[fringe sundial]

if you do directly write 4 + 3 * 9 =
you get

4 + 3 * 9
31

now the thing is, why are calculator apps so fuckinjg horrible

when they could at least be like those hp scientific calcs that allow formulas

plus you can do more advanced fun things with them, but thats trickier

[carmine frigate]

yea finding intersection points between 2 formula and stuff

[fringe sundial]

honestly the windows calculator app triggers me to no end

my 20 bucks hp calc is miles superior

such a piece of shit of an app

[median wraith]

wait for the compilation times per shader lel

[carmine frigate]

but like ambershee said u can turn it too scientific

[fringe sundial]

windows calc app already has 4 models

programmer, scientific, dumb

programmer has hex to binary operations and the likes

but still all instant.... so fucking dumb

[carmine frigate]

lol it has teaspoons to milimeter

[ashen kindle]

@median wraith oh hell is it longer than deferred shaders

Java is mainly good for making people miserable lol

[median wraith]

No more food with substance

[median wraith]

What game is that?

Looks like little nighmares

[tulip nova]

yawns

[dense storm]

that bad? 😄

[broken sigil]

well my day has been fun, having the worst tooth pain of my life, slept for like 17 hours 😑

[dense storm]

i had tooth pain last year

honestly worst 3 days waiting for dentist appointment

[broken sigil]

honestly I don't know, I remember waking up, throwing up from insane pain, going back to bed and now woke up again like 2 hours ago

[cursive crypt]

Last year I had granuloma, got a tooth removed + the last wisdom one. It was 10 days of non-stop pain, first time I used something other than aspirin for pain-killer.

[broken sigil]

it's the worst pain I ever experienced
Took Caffetin now, only painkiller I took that seems to be helping for now

[dense storm]

even getting stabbed in the arm was nothing compared to the toothache i felt last year

why is tooth pain so bad

[broken sigil]

have that same question 😑

[cursive crypt]

teeth, kidneys, birth, afaik are ruling the pain categories

Lower back pain I think, we know

[broken sigil]

I think I know what you mean but don't know the word either lol

[cursive crypt]

Paralysing effect.

Glitch

[proven forum]

Broken love is more painful. The heart actually releases triponin when you have a relationship breakup!

[broken sigil]

wouldn't know, never had a relationship in the first place 😅

[cursive crypt]

Maybe long-term... depends really, most of us been through it. It is apples to oranges. If you breakup, any teeth pain will take over as priority.

[broken sigil]

I feel like I'm missing out on the whole love and relationship thing, I'm 21 and never had a romantic relationship
Means I have more time for work and do stuff I like but feel like I'm missing out 🤷‍♀️

Valentines day is depressing seeing all other people being with someone

and I'm here talking to my cat

[cursive crypt]

lol, nothing unusual nowadays. I hear such stories left and right. I also got in my first contact in my 20. In my 30s I got my first gf.

Not the biggest motivator, but... I guess you should start selling yourself out. Not really the person to give advise 😄

[broken sigil]

ok then there is still hope lol

[cursive crypt]

So, y'all have a cats instead? I guess, I need to find one too.

[broken sigil]

I think my biggest problem is I don't go out much, I work from home (pre covid as well) and there isn't many opportunities for me to meet new people
And I'm not to keen on the dating apps

And there are not many people who would fit my lifestyle, waking up at like 7 pm and going to bed at 11 am

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, no. Nobody will find you home. This I can swear on.

Also, you won't stay the same when you get in relationship - that for sure. You will need to find common ground. It is kind of, looking outside of yourself.

If you sub to them 🙂

It is untapped market yet. Online waifu

[broken sigil]

but maybe there are cyberchicks too who like to be awake at late nights
lol

well I have to wake up if I don't plan on being alone forever

[cursive crypt]

Don't postpone 👍 years accelerate as mad with aging.

[pearl elk]

Dating apps dont really work anyway, I know some people who had some luck, others have none

[broken sigil]

I feel old already lol
The older I get the faster time seems to move

yeah

[cursive crypt]

Imagine, 20 years later then 😄

[broken sigil]

Would rather not lol

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, true, don't 🤔

[broken sigil]

lol

[pearl elk]

20yrs later and Im still dating people the same age as I am now 😛

[cursive crypt]

Top news

lol

[broken sigil]

if I had a group of friends I can go out with I might have a chance to find someone
I have literally 2 friends, 1 I play games with online and 1 female friend and we look like a couple when we go out lol

[cursive crypt]

Old ways were that you go outside. Hobbies: yoga, hiking, dances, whatever-really.

It will be stupid being alone first few times, but ppl connect, you will manage, I can confirm.

[broken sigil]

yeah just a thought of going somewhere alone feels weird to me lol

[cursive crypt]

It is weird, lol.
But it gets easier fast.

As usual, first few steps are the hardest. Then you just roll.

[broken sigil]

Yeah

Know what you mean

[cursive crypt]

Being in this global situation is limiting, but so and for everyone else.

So, if you have interests outside of home/work, go. The job place is also nice opportunity, many examples of it. To me however is... conflicting.

[broken sigil]

Only other hobby I have outside gamdev which is my job is flying fpv racing drones lol

But not that many people to meet since I usually go somewhere remote in the mountains to fly with no one around

[cursive crypt]

I guess you can combine with a hiking group/club or whatever is substitute in your country. Wildlife photographers or basically, anybody who is out there in the mountains.

[pearl elk]

going out... alone! anxiety level rising

[cursive crypt]

Doom, nightmare mode. Just don't shoot the girls.

[pearl elk]

so thats where I been going wrong

[broken sigil]

Btw flying them is so much fun, those drones are hand-built and don't have any stabilization like auto leveling so you are in complete control, also insanely powerful accelerating to like 180kmh in a second

And you are flying them with goggles on and you have live feed from the drone, would definitely recommend trying it if you ever have a chance

Sounds like a good idea lol

[pearl elk]

Mons suggests asking if she wants to see your BFG lol

[cursive crypt]

lol

[broken sigil]

Lol

[pearl elk]

If she says she prefers the Plasma gun you know you've found true love 🙂

[cursive crypt]

My fav too, back before 25+ years 🤔

f, I'm old

[pearl elk]

youre only as old as the person you feel

[cursive crypt]

I'm not concerned about my mind, lol

[pearl elk]

all I wanted for valentines was a jrainbow splitter cable 😛

[median wraith]

Man here you don't even connect with work mates 😂

Now you talk about those things

Here the groups for activities at meetup are dying

Nobody goes to events anymore

Blue man just called us all old indirectly isn't it?

🤣

Anyway, yeah meet new people gets harder the older you get but you will notice at at the 30s or about them 25+
In other hand isn't your job, that happen to me too but today's nobody even talks to strangers despite new apps or activities

My country have the biggest percent of singles and divorces, they tend to call all of this quality of life.
But I think there is a mind change or something going.
And tbh I think the fact you never had a romantic relationship is making yourself look it better than what actually it is

And the more you think that will return you something you don't have the more will kill you inside

[foggy path]

I mostly just meet people online from playing games lol

I think the majority of people I talk with these days other than shitposting on random discords is from gaming communities or because I was streaming on twitch for a while :P

[median wraith]

Another point, animals don't replace humans, and who claims they like animals over humans is because never tried to evolve their social skills or empathy.
So claim you are better with an animal that don't argue, is in a prison and is directed by that person you get an idea of what it is

[median wraith]

My best friend is a person I added 12 years ago playing cod5 online so yeah

[foggy path]

I dunno I feel like animals can replace humans to some degree

Not everyone requires the same amount of social interaction so for someone having a pet might be enough

[median wraith]

In other hand what Mons said is correct, don't ever use dating/meeting people apps directly these are like cyberpunk trailers that go nowhere, people there isn't searching other person is searching other person because something in the middle don't works correctly

[median wraith]

Whatever you don't need social interaction at all, if you only interact with animals everyday will make you even more antisocial and ignorant than when you started having the animal, so yeah all in life is good but until some extend

[foggy path]

Maybe, hence "to some degree"

[median wraith]

Also animals are road ends, our economic system is supported by other individuals, I'm waiting to see how turns the day the current kids start to work and maintenance the whole system

We got more animals registered in the country than the total of kids under 15 years

Soon will see dogs playing cards and going to work

🤣

also

wtf https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/modules-cpp?view=msvc-160

we found Java it seems

[cursive crypt]

lol... Hevedy, hot topic I see, I understand 👍

[median wraith]

hey I wasn't at the 3am to rant

🤪

[cursive crypt]

shush

[foggy path]

that syntax is somewhat reminiscent of JavaScript of all things lol

[median wraith]

At the first I just mean, that where I worked etc you usually just do job contact with these individuals, despite you share something in common etc, nobody wants to be your friend

[foggy path]

But I think modules are a good idea

[median wraith]

as you said something about find a hobby etc, usually happen the same @cursive crypt

[foggy path]

the include stuff is definitely somewhat dated :P

[median wraith]

well didn't think of some practical example right now for modules

[foggy path]

Dunno if it really makes a huge difference in terms of practical coding examples but it sounds like it'll speed up compilation, and I think it might make it easier to deal with include paths and such

[final spoke]

How do you customize the shape of the custom water body?

@tawdry rune

[cursive crypt]

Necromancing 💀

[final spoke]

haha yeah

or attempting to

[median wraith]

man the close button on Steam isn't working to me today

close and the window closes and auto reopen

😂

[fluid bloom]

how so?

shame we probably have to wait for UE 6 in order to get module support in the engine 😄

[foggy path]

export function Foo is JS syntax for module exports

[fluid bloom]

I suppose

it's in bunch of other langs too

[foggy path]

possible :D

[fluid bloom]

JS module system can die in a fire though, it's not even a proper module system

[foggy path]

how so?

[fluid bloom]

you don't have proper packages, you just have files that either export stuff or not

you can't have package private stuff

[cursive crypt]

I'm curious for them, new features like the modules. Likely, how they are implemented.

[fluid bloom]

if you export stuff it's available everywhere

[foggy path]

you kind of can have those if you follow some design principles like having a main module that you use to export bits from your other modules

[fluid bloom]

one cause of that is that you can't have helper functions inside a different utils file because it'd pollute the global namespace

[foggy path]

but yeah I don't know if that's ideal or a common practice at this point, I remember seeing it with some packages

personally I don't find it a huge problem that you can't have module private stuff

[fluid bloom]

it becomes a problem with big projects

at least over here where I work 😄

[foggy path]

I mean it seems you could quite easily have MyHelpers.js and then have it export a bunch of crap

just don't import it externally

lol

[fluid bloom]

ah the "don't do it" fix for possible bugs and shortcomings? 😛

[foggy path]

I mean usually modules have an intended way to use them even in languages that do support module privates

So if you do something unintended and it bugs, you're on your own lol

[fluid bloom]

so we agree that the JS "module" system is lackluster? 🤔

[foggy path]

I don't find it a problem but I guess if you really love privates :D

https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#packages_subpath_exports looks like node supports it

this implementation is how I figured it might be done tbh

pretty sure that's technically UB?

so it should fail at compilation if the compiler was smart 😛

Frankly I don't get people's obsession over that

It seems designed so you'd leave it charging when not using, in that case who cares how the cable connects :P

a much more bizarre design decision about the Magic Mouse are those two black bars you see on the bottom... where regular mice have slippery pads, those are like... hard not very slippery bits

[fluid bloom]

do bluetooth mouses still have lag?

[normal prism]

There's also radiocontrolled I think

AFAIK that works better

For instance the g703/g903

[foggy path]

No lag

I have a Logitech G Pro and I can't tell if it has a wire or not... professional CSGO players also use it, so I think that says something lol

[normal prism]

They're not bluetooth tho

Radiocontrolled

[foggy path]

I think the "Lightspeed" thing is similar to 2.4 GHz BT

SteelSeries wireless mice for example use regular BT iirc

[normal prism]

They come with a dongle that is not bluetooth

[fluid bloom]

seems like better ones are more or less like wired https://www.rtings.com/mouse/tests/control/latency

[foggy path]

Yes, it's what Logitech calls it "Lightspeed", my understanding is that it's similar to BT in terms of performance and such

[normal prism]

I have a 703 lightspeed, I can't notice any lag at all

Shitty quality control though, particularly the scroll wheel

[fluid bloom]

though that doesn't list pointer latency, only click 🤔

[steady sorrel]

Guys is my laptop good for UE4? The specs are:
i5 10120U
8 GB
512 GB SSD
UHD 630 Graphics.

I have made a game in it but I still don't know if the laptop is good enough...

The game was not that big

Just a simple side scroller

[candid ore]

8GB is a bit low on RAM

As long as you keep making small things itll be fine

[unborn lotus]

I would get a dedicated gpu

[deep glen]

jfc, i thought youtube comments where annoying but points at marketplace reviews/questions on free content

[fluid bloom]

nope

aaaaaaaarggghh the store where I'm buying my 5950X is receiving a shipment of 216 pcs of 5900X..... Guess how many 5950Xs?

Instagram put individual woman's showcasing their body in ads over companies

As example

[steady sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/yay-smile-happy-cute-oof-gif-16086929

[steady sorrel]

Should I extend it to 12 GB?

[candid ore]

Yeah go higher if you can. Large unreal projects use more memory to open up, and will crash if you do not have enough.

[humble remnant]

Or at the very least increase your page file by a lot

I managed with 8 GB on a laptop for really long because I bumped up my page file to 64 GB

I'd recommend you do that for any PC as long as your boot SSD is 500+ GB

Really saves blue screens when working with humongous assets

[steady sorrel]

How to do that? Pls tell me sensei!

[unborn lotus]

whats your budget though?

[steady sorrel]

You guys have dollars right?

I have INR

[unborn lotus]

dollaridoos?

[steady sorrel]

Lemme think...

700$

No wait

650$

[unborn lotus]

🤔

[steady sorrel]

I have bought the laptop now... 😢

It's been three months...

I started UE4 this year

[unborn lotus]

oh

[steady sorrel]

It's a real pain tho

Seeing shaders compile for 20 min straight for a lil game

What about your guys' PCs

They must be good I think...

What if I buy an external GPU? Would that help? I would also increase RAM by 4 GB...

[ancient hornet]

I'd say

not at all

pretty sure you want a stronger CPU only for that

[steady sorrel]

Oof

So that means I have to buy another PC if I want to do higher development?

[quiet narwhal]

shaders compiling are cpu cores and memory (want to make sure you have enough memory for each shader compilation process or else it starts swapping to disk)

[steady sorrel]

So how much RAM is recommended?

16?

[ancient hornet]

does it take that much memory? I never looked at it 😄
I'd think it's not THAT RAM expensive

[quiet narwhal]

well a gig per core is fine

its overkill to be honest for shaders but as a point of reference 1 gig per core for compiling

1 gig per thread is better if doing like C++ work, but shaders are normally lighter

[steady sorrel]

Well that's a pain for me...

Anyways gtg

Bye and thx for telling!

[ancient hornet]

you could aim for a situation where you don't have many shaders

all in textures!

[unborn lotus]

I like the new asus flow x13. if you really need it you can get the 3080 egpu for it

and it's probably still less expensive than getting a desktop 3080 here

[steady sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/think-emoji-thonk-meme-gif-11987870

How much is it?

[steady sorrel]

How do you do that??

[ancient hornet]

I mean

[steady sorrel]

I mean shaders are necessary right?

[ancient hornet]

if you look at the Doom 2016/Eternal

they supposedly use very few shader assets

and instead just have different textures as shader parameters

it's a choice to make

if you have fewer different "master shaders" to compile

well you compile less 😄

[steady sorrel]

There would be huge impact right?

[ancient hornet]

I suppose the fact they worked in forward shading also pushed them this way (forward shaders take much longer to compile)

well the impact would be that you give up on having fancy effects in your materials

instead it's all mostly static as you'd paint in your 3D app/substance painter

[steady sorrel]

Well actually I'm kind of a beginner so I'm learning as I'm going forward

If I go for shaders then what would be the impact on my device?

FPS lag?

[humble remnant]

Just google "increase page file" and you should get instant result

[steady sorrel]

Ok

[humble remnant]

Do note that this only works if your limitation is RAM

And I seriously recommend you have a boot SSD of 500 GB or more

[steady sorrel]

I have that

[steady sorrel]

Wdym?

[humble remnant]

If it is an out-of-memory error, the page file thing will help

But if you simply have no performance, it won't help at all

[steady sorrel]

The RAM is bad and it stays at 70% with just 1 chrome tab open...

How does 8 GB fill up so fast with just 1 chrome tab?

[dense storm]

cuz.. chrome..

use a real browser! use lynx

[steady sorrel]

😢

[dense storm]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser) 😄

[steady sorrel]

Is it safe?

[dense storm]

i was joking 😄

[steady sorrel]

:/

Cmon dude

But you got me there

Nice

[dense storm]

but ue4 uses around 2-4 gb for a basic project

8gb is not really a lot in todays standard

[steady sorrel]

That's true...

[dense storm]

also don't forget ram gets cached by the OS

[steady sorrel]

But how does my friend get 60% with 1 chrome tab open and also WITH 4 GB RAM??

[dense storm]

i have 15 opera tabs open

1gb memory usage

[steady sorrel]

Wait what?!

https://tenor.com/view/kevin-hart-say-what-stare-blink-really-gif-12005301

[humble remnant]

The more RAM you have the more the programs allow themselves to eat

[steady sorrel]

You got to be kidding with me...

[dense storm]

which has benefits @humble remnant 🙂

more ram will result in less swapping aswell

[humble remnant]

Indeed

[dense storm]

swapping is what kills programs

especially back in the day of mech harddrives

[steady sorrel]

Well you are using Opera GX so it makes sense to me

[humble remnant]

Mechanical boot drives

[steady sorrel]

It has RAM limiter

[dense storm]

yeah i ditched chrome a long time ago

[humble remnant]

I'm so happy for SSDs taking over

[dense storm]

my ram limiter is not turned on

[steady sorrel]

Oh cmon

https://tenor.com/view/frustrating-bbt-monday-work-give-up-gif-17444675

[humble remnant]

I use Firefox myself but through the 30-40 tabs open it consumes a liberal amount of RAM

[dense storm]

also does a breakdown of how much each tab is using

[steady sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-dwight-trying-to-hurt-feelings-gif-4946354

Is opera GX good?

[dense storm]

opera GX is pretty neat, not had any issues

[steady sorrel]

I watched YT about it and they said it's not safe so I had to uninstall

[dense storm]

opera GX?

i have been using it for years no idea what is not safe, it uses Opera underneath, that has been around for years.

[steady sorrel]

Hmm

Alright so I will use it then

What about Brave browser?

My friend uses it

[dense storm]

not heard of it

seems a bit like Chrome

ah its based on Chromium makes sense

[steady sorrel]

So it good?

Or it bad?

[dense storm]

most stuff based on Chromium is ok

this seems privacy focused also

tho i am behind a VPN all the time and i don't really do anything that warrants needing over the top privacy (like Tor)

[steady sorrel]

I don't think Tor should be used...

Because of a few stuff if u know what I mean...

[dense storm]

a lot of people use Tor, hiding from governments etc

not just for illegal stuff

[steady sorrel]

Ya ik but mostly it's used for that only

Anyways...

How much RAM do you have?

[dense storm]

64gb

[steady sorrel]

...

Srsly?

[steady sorrel]

Alright I'm done

[dense storm]

i use it for work, so its like a workstation/gaming pc

(i work from home)

[steady sorrel]

Pre covid too?

[dense storm]

yes

[steady sorrel]

Oh

Don't you get bored?

[dense storm]

not really, i have my office, feels just like being at work 😄

[steady sorrel]

That's nice 😁

[broken sigil]

i use it for work, so its like a workstation/gaming pc
(i work from home)
yeah same^

It takes me around 30GB to fully load the project and Rider/VS so 64GB is just enough

[dense storm]

im at around 23gb used

[steady sorrel]

Well if only I was a bit more older...

[dense storm]

oh i am old 😄

[steady sorrel]

Not older than you

Older than what I am

[broken sigil]

I'm 21, feel like a child in here with almost everyone being 20+ years older than me lol

[steady sorrel]

I'm 14

You are no child

[broken sigil]

honestly that's a good time to start messing with game dev stuff, you learn and remember stuff easier at younger age
I first started messing with programming when I was 11/12

[steady sorrel]

Yeah a lot of people told me that

Well the only thing I hate is that I can't spend on my own for now

So this helps me so much as I can't buy freaking assets

[normal prism]

Thanks for making me feel old 😢

[broken sigil]

Sorry 😅

[steady sorrel]

No one really is old until they are 70 (as far as I think)

I mean if you keep your body fit in all ways then you are good to go even after 70

[broken sigil]

When I started I fried my parent's laptop and a GPU in their PC so they weren't that happy about it lol
They weren't really in a position to buy top of the line hardware so I worked with ue4 on a 2 core CPU, started selling stuff on the marketplace, got some money and built myself my first PC

[steady sorrel]

That's just Awesome

[broken sigil]

I was 16 I think at that time

[steady sorrel]

Really?

[broken sigil]

yeah

[steady sorrel]

Nah I don't think so

Well every kid fries the first laptop or PC when they use it

I'll be right back...

[broken sigil]

I was around 16 at the time, that's when I published my first MP asset

[steady sorrel]

Wow

[pearl pewter]

Im 17 anyone else <20? 😳

[median wraith]

now is rich and own part of Epic as well is mid of this nightmare

[steady sorrel]

Really?

[median wraith]

by the age Blue published, at that age I was learning how to execute executables

XD

[steady sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/thinking-emoji-gif-11249740

[pearl pewter]

yes

I finished my first game with 14

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M9RvOVt5uk

[steady sorrel]

Well I have a friend with me too

He's a school friend

Same age

But he has to use AnyDesk to do stuff

Coz he can't download UE4

[zinc matrix]

Hmmmmmm

That guy is me

[steady sorrel]

Yeah nice one... -_-

@broken rose is my partner in all this stuff

[zinc matrix]

Lol

I know

Im here for fun

[steady sorrel]

It put a huge impact on my Laptop

[zinc matrix]

Wassup

[steady sorrel]

So much fps lag

But we pulled it off

We had to do it for school competition

[zinc matrix]

happens cuz of ram

[steady sorrel]

Well UE4 takes up almost 75% of RAM

And with anydesk it goes to 80%

[zinc matrix]

how much ram do you have

[pearl pewter]

A pc that runs ue4 really is worth investing!

I mean you can get one for 300$

[steady sorrel]

Mine is for 650$ apparently

But still sucks

[zinc matrix]

Oof

I mean-

[pearl pewter]

Yeah good choice is important

[zinc matrix]

Man i got 16gb ram for like so cheap

[steady sorrel]

I have a laptop not PC

[zinc matrix]

same thing

[pearl pewter]

ah yeah

[zinc matrix]

can expand right

[pearl pewter]

laptops are worse / more expensive

but cool to take to friends 🙂

remeber some good times

[steady sorrel]

Ya

[zinc matrix]

pc is where it's at

[steady sorrel]

I mean laptop is all about portability

[zinc matrix]

agreed

[steady sorrel]

So how much experience do you have with UE4 @zinc matrix

[zinc matrix]

Used it once

[pearl pewter]

i thought you know each other?

[zinc matrix]

It's a joke lol

I dont know him

[pearl pewter]

ok

[steady sorrel]

I have made a poop game but it was for school competition

It was a side scroller

[zinc matrix]

It's hard for me

[pearl pewter]

blueprints too?

[zinc matrix]

no, like, coming up with idea

It's really hard

[steady sorrel]

Blueprints are ez but still everything needs to be practiced before applying

So it can be hard for few people

[pearl pewter]

ask manny

[zinc matrix]

well i can code well

[pearl pewter]

@turbid spindle

[steady sorrel]

What's the prefix?

Oh got it

Is there a specific place or we can write anywhere?

[pearl pewter]

dm

dont spam the bot here

[steady sorrel]

Ok

[zinc matrix]

ok

[steady sorrel]

That's cool bro

It can give a random idea

[pearl pewter]

i got hella addicted

[zinc matrix]

Yeah

[pearl pewter]

tell me more mannnnnyy telll mee moooreee

[zinc matrix]

Oh lol

[steady sorrel]

A game where you fight waves of vampires in the middle of nowhere, but there's a catch: you can't see anything. That's some cool features

[zinc matrix]

Yooo

Thats a great idea

[steady sorrel]

Would be hard tho I guess

I mean adding all assets and stuff is just -_-

[zinc matrix]

I mean, hardwork is required

[steady sorrel]

Ya

[pearl pewter]

what assets?

you cant see anything

[steady sorrel]

Oh that's a very good point

But all those mobs

Vamps

[pearl pewter]

audigame

[steady sorrel]

Adding them would be a pain for new ppl

[pearl pewter]

audiogame

for blind people

[zinc matrix]

hmm

[steady sorrel]

Oh yeah

[zinc matrix]

Thats new

[pearl pewter]

to sharp sences

[steady sorrel]

That can be done

[zinc matrix]

Unique

[pearl pewter]

yeah

i thought about that sometimes

but never did it

[zinc matrix]

why not go for it?

[steady sorrel]

But it would need surround sound too I guess?

[pearl pewter]

yeah

[zinc matrix]

yeah

[steady sorrel]

Same Q from here

[foggy path]

Headphones do positional audio pretty well with regular stereo headphones

[steady sorrel]

Hmm

[pearl pewter]

that would work too i guess

[pearl pewter]

too bussy

hustlin

[steady sorrel]

Work? Job?

[pearl pewter]

yeah

full time gamedev 😩 😭 😫

[steady sorrel]

Well we 14 yr olds chilling 🤟

[pearl pewter]

im 17yo chilling

[iron carbon]

im 31 FROZEN

[steady sorrel]

And you have a job??

[pearl pewter]

well right now i quit it

and work full time on my game

but if it doesnt work ill have to go back to it

[steady sorrel]

How are you pulling it off so far?

[steady sorrel]

Oh

[pearl pewter]

only 4 months in

its hard with discipline and stuff

[steady sorrel]

Nah I mean progress

[pearl pewter]

sometimes i hjust watch netflix and smoke weed

[pearl pewter]

yeah its going

[steady sorrel]

Hmm

[pearl pewter]

75% done

release is planned in march

[steady sorrel]

Oh that's nice

[pearl pewter]

i hope the epic games store accepts me

[steady sorrel]

If I may know then what's it about?

You don't have to tell

[pearl pewter]

Its a rythm game, comparable to osu!

if you know that

[steady sorrel]

Uh those things where ppl act and player guesses?

Idk much

[pearl pewter]

no

wait

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ehSPtWoiuc like that a bit

[steady sorrel]

Hmm

So you are making for VR then?

[pearl pewter]

no

but the concept with playing to music

[steady sorrel]

Ok

Sounds cool

Good luck 👍

[pearl pewter]

thanks

hope you find a good pc soon

[steady sorrel]

That's gonna take forever

[pearl pewter]

if i get rich ill buy you one

[steady sorrel]

🙏

[pearl pewter]

😭

praying too xD

[steady sorrel]

XD

You will get rich

I feel it

[pearl pewter]

thx xD$

[steady sorrel]

Well they do say Hard work pays offs...

[fresh heath]

CRTP in C++ is such a weird thing

[broken sigil]

lol 😅

[median wraith]

what age you started learning programming ?

[broken sigil]

11/12
But that was more like messing with blender game engine and later unity and having no bloody idea what I'm doing lol

[median wraith]

oh

I started with 14 learning things and youtube wasn't a thing yet

not even the engines to be used

but Blender

[broken sigil]

for me YT helped a ton

[median wraith]

yeah I learn as fast as I learn english @broken sigil

😂

you get an idea

[broken sigil]

lol

[median wraith]

in my defense lets say I'm an arts person

[broken sigil]

I learned English over 1 summer, I used to be terrible at it and it somehow just clicked
I mean my english is probably not perfect but I think it's good enough

[median wraith]

its actually surprising to me the people in the interviews this last months knows what I'm talking about

or maybe they just smile

🤖

[broken sigil]

The thing I'm still not comfortable with is actual talking in English, not just chatting
I don't like my accent and it takes me a bit longer to come up with a reply compared to when I'm speaking in my native language

[median wraith]

I think that's normal

[steady sorrel]

Accents are normal

Don't worry

It would take you only a small amount of time but you will get over it soon

[broken sigil]

you are probably right, but it feels really awkward

[median wraith]

Basically lost the day and did nothing at all but send emails and things

:/

[steady sorrel]

Try talking in VCs

You will be fine

[broken sigil]

should probably practice in online games where I don't give a crap what others think lol

[steady sorrel]

I was very shy when I first joined the VC and even hesitated to say a Hi

[broken sigil]

lol

[steady sorrel]

I am eager to help you out @broken sigil but I don't think our Time Zones match

[steady sorrel]

Do you guys remember your old days where you just sit next to TV watching cartoons and stuff?

Like Rowan Atkinson's Mr Bean and all?

[zinc matrix]

I do

[cursive crypt]

"old days", weren't you like 14? 🤔

[median wraith]

he means last year

[steady sorrel]

Oh come on

[median wraith]

thats old

[steady sorrel]

Not last year

Those days

[median wraith]

he had to have some like these to release the game on the status it was / is

🤖

[steady sorrel]

And I'm a retro guy even tho I live in a world with high graphic games and movies

[median wraith]

you started playing games when TAA released

that aren't high graphics

🤖

[steady sorrel]

I play Street Fighter from 1994

What's TAA

I'm too young ;-;

[cursive crypt]

Aye, don't worry. Your time to be old, will come.

[steady sorrel]

Well I won't be old

Can I ask you all a very simple yet silly question?

Who made the first letter of english?

[cursive crypt]

f if i know

Not my native, btw. On the other hand, I know the story for my language.

I mean, for the 1st letter.

[steady sorrel]

Thats cool

History!

[humble remnant]

You play a '94 game but want to use UE4?

Surely there's a game that inspired you to make something

[steady sorrel]

Umm

I think

Gimme a sec

So I think it must be game like CoD and all

All those FPS games that I watched my friend play

[humble remnant]

Understandable in that case

[steady sorrel]

Well retro games were real hard

Like getting Akuma in Street Fighter 2 Turbo just sometimes made me rage quit

[humble remnant]

Oh I know that and I have something that comes close to their controls already

[steady sorrel]

That is?

[humble remnant]

PSP

There's a good amount of emulators for older consoles for it

[steady sorrel]

Cool

[humble remnant]

Though I myself played mostly stuff like Streets of Rage

[median wraith]

yeah CoD is a nice retro game from the 90s

🤖

[humble remnant]

I remember playing that when I was in middle school or so and when I played again I realized I was a dingus when I was younger

[steady sorrel]

I played so much Street Fighter 2 turbo but if you play perfectly then Akuma comes and just makes me throw my phone out the window

[steady sorrel]

Why you bully me?

;-;

I watched my friend play those in like 2012 or something like that

And I just sat next to him staring at the screen

[cursive crypt]

That cool

[steady sorrel]

I had a laptop at that time which had a GPU but I kinda put a virus in it...

I still have it tho

It has windows xp

But the keyboard and buttons are broken from inside

It's like a 12 yr old laptop I think

But the memories still remain

😁

https://tenor.com/view/the-divergent-series-allegiant-hello-miles-teller-人呢-gif-5604237

[humble remnant]

Understandable have a nice day

[steady sorrel]

Same to you

[humble remnant]

Though to get a hang of how the games play you probs need to play a bunch yourself

Just by memory it's tough to get into making a game

[steady sorrel]

Ya

Do you wanna know the time at my place?

It's real good

[humble remnant]

Too late?

[steady sorrel]

It's 2 AM

[humble remnant]

Definitely too l ate

Even tho I myself go to bed at like 4 AM or later the past few months

[median wraith]

such a rebel

[humble remnant]

There's just no reason to wake up early and now I live in EST

0/10 would not recommend

[steady sorrel]

Well I usually wake up till 5 AM

[dense storm]

heh 😄

[steady sorrel]

You made it?

[dense storm]

just messing with cable comp

[humble remnant]

YOINK

[dense storm]

and projectile

[steady sorrel]

It's nice

[humble remnant]

I should probs get into using cables for more stuff

The one time I used it seriously was to make a laser beam

I got tilted from trying to create an accurate laser beam so I simply enabled cables and boom

Lasers

[steady sorrel]

How did you make your profile pic pop out?

And make it stay?

It cant be a GIF can it?

[humble remnant]

It is a gif

Just with a forbidden technique

[steady sorrel]

O_o

[humble remnant]

I have made it so it doesn't loop

It plays once and that's it

You can stare at Dio forever

[steady sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-kermit-the-frog-bruh-smiling-drive-gif-15005835

[humble remnant]

[steady sorrel]

Anime lover?

[humble remnant]

Nah, just enjoying a few memes here and there

[steady sorrel]

Oh ok

Well you can tell by my profile pic that I'm an anime lover

Not like a 100% but 60% I think

[humble remnant]

Tbh I'm far more a

specific genre lover

[steady sorrel]

And that will be?

[humble remnant]

K-pop

But I blame League for that

[steady sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/nick-young-question-marks-what-excuse-me-huh-gif-4486363

Well I like anime based on comedy

Coz other genres don't suit me well

[humble remnant]

Comedy ones are good

I haven't watched many but have watched a select few that weeb friends recommended me

[steady sorrel]

Why call them weeb?

They are my kind

[humble remnant]

Because they are weebs

Like

Far weebs

[steady sorrel]

I must protecc them

[humble remnant]

Body pillows and all that

[steady sorrel]

Oh ok then

I'm good then

[humble remnant]

If you're a simple watcher I have no trouble with that

Hell, even if you're a weeb

As long as you're a decent human being I ain't got a problem with ya

[steady sorrel]

Can you differentiate between normal and weebs?

[humble remnant]

At first glance no

[steady sorrel]

Oh

It's ok

[humble remnant]

If I know they watch hella anime, I'd probs refer as an "otaku"

I think that was the word?

[steady sorrel]

I think so

Idk why but my friends call me weeb even tho I watch one episode like in a day

And that's just 30 min

[humble remnant]

Eh

At some point you just accept that you'll be made fun of

[steady sorrel]

I don't give them the fun of reaction

I mean being made fun of depends on what their intention is

Maybe they do it in friendly manner

Or maybe they want me embarrassed

Idk

I think my friends do it in friendly manner

[humble remnant]

In my case it's friendly

But I have rather limited my friends group so I'm close with the peeps I'd call friends

[steady sorrel]

Makes sense

Well anyways... Do you play games?

[humble remnant]

Somewhat

[steady sorrel]

Oof

Free or Paid??

[humble remnant]

Both

I tend to play with friends majority of the time

Or a few "autopilot" games when I'm too tired for anything

[steady sorrel]

True

[steady sorrel]

Wdym?

[humble remnant]

Some days I'm just tired but not enough to sleep

Esp these days when the weather rapidly shifted from +15C to -15C

[steady sorrel]

Oh

Well its 30℃ at my place

[humble remnant]

For me it's not a problem of it being hot or cold but rather how fast it swaps

Have had chronic sinusitis all my life and those shifts affect me hard

[steady sorrel]

Yes because weather changes can cause cold and all

[steady sorrel]

What's that?

Ik what chronic diseases are

[humble remnant]

TLDR in my case is, headaches when I'm a tiny bit sick or when the weather shifts

[steady sorrel]

Oh

[humble remnant]

And also a runny nose pretty much constantly

[steady sorrel]

Well I've had tinnitus all my life

Always thought it's normal

Like others also hear it

But it was all me

[humble remnant]

Damn

[steady sorrel]

That's what keeping me up

So here I am distracting myself

[humble remnant]

I tend to put on music constantly

Helps distract me from my mind that tangents every other second

[steady sorrel]

Hmm

If I listen to music then it would just increase the tinnitus level a little bit

Not like it would be painful

[humble remnant]

Ah

Well in my case it's more to keep me on track

[steady sorrel]

I noticed tinnitus about 2 yrs ago and kept it in check but what happened was 2 yrs before I went to a very quiet hotel and at night the sound would just keep me up until my brain gets tired and eventually I fall asleep

And I didn't know what it was that time

This or last year, if you have heard of Jacksepticeye, he posted his vid telling about tinnitus

And after that I understood that's it's not normal

So yeah...

[lusty plinth]

Hello All
Never mind the message below. I got it working !

I have a quick question regarding building Unreal classes

I am in the middle of creating my custom environment in Unreal by doing the following

1. Create a New C++ class. This should trigger compile and open up a VS project

2. However, when I try to transfer my environment, I don't have this compiled VS project with me

Although I have the cpp and h files

Is there a way to manually compile?

[foggy path]

they're doing rolling blackouts because the grid is so overtaxed due to snowfall or something like that

american infrastructure really good™️

[median wraith]

Errr what

[fathom wadi]

Maybe he wants people who had a bad experience with it

[median wraith]

I mean is on this channel how that makes sense? O_O

The year is going on pretty amazing will say lol

So that's why was checking these there 🤔

[zinc matrix]

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America is next, queued up on my viewing list, YAY!

[zinc matrix]

Err...

So since when Chaos is established top industry solution? Is it out of Alpha, Beta or whatever they call it at Epic?

[tidal ivy]

it is not

as far as I'm aware, Fortnite is the only game on the market using it

probably not many in development that do either

[cursive crypt]

You can summarise that as: "Have a basic knowledge of physics engines".

[fluid bloom]

it's mostly because texas' grid is its own separate thing

it's not really connected to rest of USA grid

[median wraith]

Where's that from?

[normal prism]

https://v.redd.it/dkfdruxd4ph61

[zinc matrix]

The same place you took yours Unity one

[fluid bloom]

https://youtu.be/GeVRktoDV-I

[median wraith]

oh welp

did someone ever had a job from there ? any real exp ?

how to apply 100

how to apply 2

how to apply random()

[zinc matrix]

Well, no bus for me today. From bus line going since 5 AM till 11 PM every 30 minutes, only 5 left. And forget about Saturday or Sunday.

[median wraith]

who needs bus anyway

going the work or ?

[zinc matrix]

No, wanted to see the world. Snow is nice, last winter with so much snow was probably around 2000.

[tidal ivy]

6:26.... 13:30 - what

what kind of a schedule is that, lol

[median wraith]

yeah that happen here too, usually are the bus with less transit

[zinc matrix]

I hope I'm posting in the correct channel.
Who can I talk to re; constant crashing? I've been saving the logs and dump files.

try #ue4-general

[zinc matrix]

ty

[median wraith]

nice UE4 cannot make me a triangle

🤖

wow close

such a nice hair

[pearl pewter]

They probably made that algorithm with scratch..

[steady sorrel]

Hi!

Pls tell me that why the landscape mode in UE4 doesnt take my textures assets when adding from Starter content

[steady sorrel]

Is this the right channel to ask?

[deep glen]

if you wanted to ask it in the off-topic channel, then yes.

[median wraith]

the other day you were talking about meeting apps etc.
just uploaded my abandoneware projects from Unity that set MetaHuman in the dust, here you can meet virtual generated humans with even generated Zodiac alienation and diseases 😂

I didn't remember this good lord

[pearl pewter]

Can you guys help me decide on the font? 🤔 😊

[median wraith]

last or first

[fresh heath]

3rd

[pearl pewter]

hmm, really not easy 🙄

[foggy path]

1 or 2 I think is easiest to read

In general ALL CAPS is somewhat less legible from what I understand

[ancient hornet]

small caps is an option maybe?

[pearl pewter]

I feel like the 2nd (Roboto Bold) is giving off the most quality/clean vibe, is this just me?

[steady sorrel]

1st is retro console based
2nd is normal
3rd might be a little hard to read

[steady sorrel]

It does

[steady sorrel]

😒

Well I'm gonna ask it in the level design channel

[stable escarp]

cause they need to be material assets

[median wraith]

I bet he means the normal materials don't apply to landscapes

[steady sorrel]

Normal textures

Haven't tried material

I needed the grass one so I tried the texture one only

[fresh heath]

Lol

[cursive crypt]

df? I need dlss to read that

[zinc matrix]

Feel like eventually I'm gonna get banned from here

[foggy path]

As long as you don't excessively shitpost and aren't a complete jagoff you're probably fine lol

[fluid bloom]

@fresh heath it's amazing how much there are anti rust trolls

in general

[cursive crypt]

Booo

[fluid bloom]

I can do this too 😛

https://i.imgflip.com/4xz5cd.jpg

[zinc matrix]

That may be difficult cuz I got banned from another server for doing that

[cursive crypt]

c++ trolls!

[foggy path]

Well usually it's easy to not shitpost excessively, it's not like it's an addiction I'd hope

[median wraith]

someone knows whats (m/f/d) ?

in listed jobs

[deep glen]

disabled

iow if the person has a disability
its kinda weird its in the same line as male/female nowadays

[median wraith]

I spotted it 3 times today at different places

ty luos

well thats good to know since this morning I read this:

Programador/a Unity
....

Requisitos mínimos

* Te gusta el deporte y haces regularmente sesiones de “spinning” o “rodillo de ciclismo indoor”, o estás muy interesado/a en empezar a hacerlas.

Translated:

Unity Programmer
....

Requirements:

* You must and have to do sports like spinning, or indoor cycling.

😂

[foggy path]

wut

[median wraith]

Thats a must today for Unity programmers it seems

😂

[foggy path]

Does it actually translate to must

[median wraith]

well the first part says

[foggy path]

I found that same job ad because I was curious of context and google translated it to "You like"

[median wraith]

Yeah the first part translate as you like to do

but the end says

You like to do sports....... or you are about start doing it

basically to my knowledge is a must

[foggy path]

Yeah it sounds like they'd prefer someone who does those or is willing to start

Contextually it kind of makes sense given it's a company developing software for exercise bikes and such

[median wraith]

Welcome new Hamnster, go program something

[median wraith]

yeah that part is correct

they develop VR experiences for bikes

still I don't see the point where the programmer have to do it and is listed as first "Minimum Requirement"

[foggy path]

If they're a small company I'd assume it's for reasons like you being interested in those things would probably give you better insights on how they would work

so it would be helpful in being able to develop that kind of software

[median wraith]

I applied to Ubisoft for the company doing rocksmith, I expect they don't need from me to play the guitar

[foggy path]

eg. it's basically "domain knowledge"

lol

Ubi is a bit different imo, they have so fucking much money they can hire a rock band

[median wraith]

true ahah

Oh I had today an update from my Steam app and I didn't uploaded anything in the last 3 months

maybe someone is secretly fixing the game

[proud pier]

I wonder if Blender's default cube is also patented

[median wraith]

software patents are a joke... and I say this as someone whose name might be in a patent that's currently being processed :P

Creative used a software patent to force John Carmack to add EAX to Doom 3

[dim ruin]

What was that recent patent application for a game mechanic? It was from one of the guys but I forget who.

There was a recent talk about the npc behaviour in one game based on the Lord of the Rings.

[dim ruin]

$100 says they file for infringements in west texas when they get it

[dim ruin]

(no offence Todd Howard... lol I know you're around here somewhere lol)

Yeah it seemed odd to even hear about it to be honest

It was actually when Bethesda went after Mojang for the name Scrolls that it caught my eye about the whole west texas circuit thing

[cursive crypt]

Scrolls? 🤔

I mean, Elder Scrolls can be a trademark I guess, in some places.

But just Scrolls...
