it's saturday here
13 hours in
someone doesn't know how replication works smh. Time of day isn't replicated across all clients
It's saturday, and a rough one for me
Hospital update:
Got told by the doctor that my sis has to go through appendix surgery
got my 2nd shot yesterday... the fever has been amazing ๐
primo, best of the best
also congrats ๐
I have to wait a couple more months before I can get vaccinated
how come?
I had covid a few months ago and apparently you have to wait like 6-7 months before you can get a vaccine after you had covid ๐คทโโ๏ธ
oh yeah -- you already have some immunity protection in that case
seems like covid + vaccine is pretty robust protection too
i just hope we can get enough vaccine for all the rest of the world -- here in LA it was made easily available to me about a month or two ago but so many countries have little or no access -- ive got friends and coworkers in those areas, its rough still ๐
3 months ago i guess, in may
yeah, sadly there are people who are also spreading lies and misinformation about vaccines which doesn't help in the slightest
Tbh I'm kinda happy I had covid, it felt great not having to worry about it for a while
yeah -- reinfection exists but seems exceedingly rare, at least in the short term
I didn't get that lucky ๐
got it multiple times you mean?
from the stats I remember reading, some areas had pretty high reinfection rates ๐
I meant that I wasn't that "lucky" to get it twice
oh haha
oh fair -- thats the fun of figuring out a brand new disease together as a society -- it takes awhile to understand it
but can we really trust a person who has been disintegrating forever (profile pic)

thats a good point ๐ง
but despite our troubled times, at least we have [ready access to] GPUs to play video games. easy to buy, 10/10
Btw a funny thing...
When I first bought the 5950x windows was complaining that it needs another activation key, I guess motherboard changed and the key is tied to it (not sure)
The first 5950x fried itself, I switched back to the i9 while I was waiting for a new one to arrive, it didn't ask me for a new key
New 5950x arrived a week ago and windows still isn't complaining, isn't asking me for a new key lol
its a big black box what validation requests are accepted or rejected
seems like often its fairly accepted for large hardware changes, but then after you validate both variants, it could easily just accept those changes after those two pieces of hardware have been validated on the key
i know its still hash based so they dont have a lot of detail, but they can do whatever they want for each validation and it could change day to day ๐
I ain't complaining, at least don't have to waste money on another key ๐
oh i would never
if it rejected an activation, i would call them
hasnt happened so far but i dont change hardware as much as others
1 windows license 1 machine, if you arent putting it on multiple machines its fair to bring it up to them
(ignoring VMs which is a huge bag of worms)
Yeah, good point
It's still the same PC, you are not trying to activate it on some other PC so it really doesn't make sense having to activate it again
its fine to activate again, but if it rejects you, you should call them ๐
It's rare and kinda pointless to activate Windows in VM anyway (though for some reason, my Windows 10 11 in my KVM got activated the moment I put in my MS account)
personally? yes. as a business, no you should comply properly
still, it basically doesnt care
it will work
tbf, linus tech tips does not volume license for all their machines
has a video on it (to be clear, they do not license windows on the machines they build for their videos)
i used to run desktop linux -- i am super happy to buy windows
Well TBH the requirement for KVM is huge. I mean, to get the most out of the KVM, one also had to use CPU and GPU pinning, so only the KVM guest has the access to those and not the Linux host.
Assuming that average desktop computer still uses 4-core.
I mean you can do VT-d or equiv on hyperv as well
or do you mean dx12 sharing in vms-- is that a thing yet?
Yeah, but the performance suffered because of it.
oh, duh, Linux...
honestly, this little idealistic core of me hopes MS is going to continue their plunge toward Linux
the irony of windows eventually running on the Linux kernel is too crazy, too evocative to not hope for lol
it would be the most ironic thing in the history of computing
It's like the Linux having a feud with KVM in regards to CPU usage.
CPU pinning basically give the KVM more free room to play without the Linux host interfering.
Well, my main gripe with Windows is the whole MS account and W10+ bloats.
And I don't want to go with dubious and risky third party modifications
Unfortunately OEMs put Home editions. Still had to buy for Pro licence.
yeah if you are buying a machine with a license
do they have upgrade pricing?
different topic: steam deck or no
Depends on the manufacturer and the product line up, but in my case (Lenovo) I didn't get the option back then
oh yeah no I mean direct from MS
you've already got home edition, and you decide you want to upgrade to pro, etc
I wish they'd nuke home edition and just always have the same experience for MS account pushing
just one version of the thing, you make more money on azure at this point, just accept the revenue reduction for the mindshare win
I'm sure the slippery slope will push toward MS accounts just like apple have given up on their hard line of technically enforced privacy
anyone want a back4blood key?
Dunno man, you seem kinda sus
Do i have to put in my card number?
Social security number will suffice, thanks
Hmm well it isn't the first message that user sent
they are letting people give keys to friends, not that weird
but the link to redeem is a url so maybe be careful anyways
how is it going guys, I start to understand what pre-production means. lol
I wish Epic shares the fortnite events files
like hey
thats porn for technical artist
ah, what a day so far
started by cursing at some lady at the grocery store because she cut the line
technically I took half a step towards a checkout line that just opened, but went back because the new line was flooded by people immediately
then the old lady went past me in the queue because "you left the queue"
bitch please, I moved 10 cm to the right
I just told her to smell a cunt
did she give you a sniff? ๐
is the goal to make a tiny weight-reducing helicopter tutu?
yeah, reducing the weight of others by removing limbs ๐
pp ring
getting it back together is the real trick
naw, getting it back together is easy. getting it back together and working....
duct tape works
yup
this is why grown men shouldnt tiktok ๐
tiktok > 7-10 years ago
I saw some granpa tiktoker who was wearing diapers and sucking on a binky it was hilariously cringy lol
cringe binge is the new death scroll
that doesn't sound like something you'd include in a cringe binge though
All I know is
Wutang is for the children

Who hasnt considered buying Epic, I know I have ๐
Tim Siri
You call that a game?
heh, somebody in visitor parking has their sunroof open, thunderstorm incoming and we've had a bit of heavy rain already ๐
Put a fish inside.
I'll wait till theres enough water
Just add some ๐
the incoming storm will take care of the water real quick
The new fifas are creative...
realismus
tbh I liked more the originals
@finite lark Back 4 Blood features the networking bug that Epic don't care about
and now every person is talking crap ๐
Welcome to the nightmare
haehaha
I have no idea
looks like it is
surprize, the cat ears are not real ๐
What is better pfizer or oxford , developer Doctors
ayooo does someone know how to get Anime Assets for Unreal
I have tried looking everywhere
its like nothing
You make them)))
Or you might get lucky on the marketplace
However styles would vary
It's super rare to find one in UE marketplace anyway. It's not like the Unity Asset Store that one anime character pack got flipped into Yandere Simulator.
Yea its impossible
fr
like not even the internet has it
and Anime stuff is hard to make
That being said, there are anime voice lines sold on the UE marketplace, though you're likely looking for the models.
You could commission artists who can do that.
I mean I would if I was making a serious game but like for a fun project I dont wanna spend money on assets if you know what I mean
Can't you import like MMD models or something
I thought that's what every anime asset game project was doing
Well, at least that's what non-commercial projects were doing
But DeviantArt users are notoriously picky when it comes to this.
what even is MMD models ?

models used for MikuMikuDance
I'm surprised you don't even know MMD.
I dont even know what that is
MetaMumanDancers
Google it I guess lol
bruh
basically it's a program used to make anime music videos and stuff
Have you even watched 3D anime music videos?
It is fine, not really everyone cup of tea.
But at least you had to be aware of it, if you want to make 3D anime
I mean for 3d characters that would help but what about the Object / Houses
jk I would never model anime stuff ๐
You should maybe look at how to render stylistic objects. I mean sounds like a ton of research in front so any step you take would be a good one.
Though I don't get the hate with anime models ๐ค
It also took some effort to get right to even rendered in Unreal Engine
It's as challenging as rendering photorealistic characters
bro its fr no tutorials on MMD characters to unreal engine, the only thing I find is like a video from 2015 and the blender plugin he uses hasnt been updated on years
...
Well, the progress ain't easy, and you have to search more about it ๐
yea but its so weird like how and why isnt it more anime stuff on ue4
like doesnt make sense tbh
Well, Bandai Namco do anime stuff on UE4
well they dont share any assets are prob are working hard to not get their assets leaked
what does share any assets mean here?
are they supposed to just post their stuff online?
Friends. PSh.
these mfers...
I remember when the 30xx series was about to launch, nvidia was saying how amazingly low-priced these cards were going to be. It was cute
prices of 3080s are hilarious
Did that number went up? I don't remember the launch one.
baseline prices on the 3060 start at about +$500 more than msrp. It gets retarded for the higher-tier cards
So the msrp stayed the same? Probably will take more months for these to go down, if ever :p Why selling for cheaper...
its going to take years lol. They're already talking about rtx 40xx plans. EVen all older cards going as far back as gtx 9xx are all at scalper prices
because "supply chain and chip shortages"... ๐
Does it count if you've literally made said friend out of spare parts?
thoughts about back 4 blood?
warhammer is more about melee gameplay
left 4 dead to me better design decisions
also the melee here is almost non existent as isn't useful
anyway can someone explain where i can ask question about code part of unreal engine project&
"code part"? #cpp ?
oh, many thanks
So whats better bout it over L4D?
a4d - advance 4chan!
Is it just more zombies or does it do something interesting is what Im wondering
sad zombie noises
bartender says "hi michael"
the mannequin in the corner responds "hi john"
the ghost on the 2nd floor says "hi frank"
we need more Bruce Willis games, him and Travolta should be in something
here we go Lawn Mowing Simulator, perfect for them
lol
bruce willis is old
its game over
what, you've never seen donny darko?
Donny Darko is old ๐
yup
me too who cares haha
Jake Gyllenhaal is 40 now ๐ฎ
and you are 56?
i dont feel old
I do ๐ฆ
I feel like things never change
have you tried changing them?
its beyond my control, but the bonus is I feel young
things change. its war that never changes.
same shit better technology ๐
Oooo SteamVR now has dockable windows just like Oculus ๐ awesome
5% OC is like 20 90s CPUs ๐
was trickier to notice bad software when the frames on screen were slower than a dot matrix printer
these days you get under 144fps and you wonder whats broken
Brexit rules now mean bottles of organic wine can't come into contact with non organic bottles of wine...
Do you think I could get a megagrant to GTFO this island of corrupt feckin' muppets? ๐
25 parts... so much for microblogging
also as someone who knows nothing about wine I know this guy is kinda wrong
wine breaths even when completely sealed, does depend on the type of seal. Dunno if the rest of the world uses screw tops like we do here but its a better seal, takes longer for the wine to age though
Yeah not like Australia has the best wines or anything ๐
If sealed should be fine. Say cork + wax. Anyway, I met a girl which makes her own wine. It should not be around the pickles for example. Bacteria should not mix.
I think they probably just have a generic rule to suit all bottles because they have no idea how good the seal will be and how long those bottles will be in close proximity
Drinking wines makes you an expert on how wines are made, bottled etc? Impressive... ๐
I dont drink wine at all ๐
Ahh. Even better. ๐
I live in wine country
I can throw a stone and hit 10 experts ๐
only cuz they drive their supercars like grannies
Apparently whinging on Twitter makes everyone an expert
๐คฃ wtf
so I decided to try perforce because of github filesize woes
why is the download experience so abysmally bad?
first you need to find how to get it (and what to get)... then you fill in a form, check a bunch of boxes... and you get an email to download it. Then you're presented with another confusing webpage, after you're again presented with a form where you fill in the same info you just filled to get that email
it then takes you to a page with install instructions which begins with a gpg verification command that does not work
?????
I'm glad I ain't paying for this shit lol
I sure hope this isn't a sign telling me how terrible the software itself is going to be...
additional complaints: the download for it is 12mb according to apt, but apparently the perforce download server is miserably slow because it sure is taking enough time for the file to be gigabytes in size...
Excellent, welcome to 2001 internet
I think we had a modem in 2001
I remember when ISDN was going to replace POTS in the US
File under things that didn't happen
The reason to use Perforce is because it actually handles binary files, by the way
Yeah that's why I'm trying to use it
Git-LFS is sorta for it too but it's just gonna be expensive to use that with github...
And, yeah, it kinda sucks. Sort of like most things.
Does that actually version an delta binary stuff or just "shove the shit in there somewhere"?
I have no idea, I don't think it does deltas because the example for billing said that if you have a 500mb file it counts 500mb towads space, then if you do a 1kb change to it and push it again now you total at 1 gb
Sidenote: I can't wait to see what kind of dumb shit I get up to putting it on something Arch-based. Which feels like reason enough that I should probably just leave it in the debian VM... except I'm tired of debian's shit at this point
Well. That sounds like complete and total dogshit
To me is worst, the campaign have 0 replayability and the IA is linear, plus the bots are meh
Sounds worse than WWZ, that atleast has some replayability in the upgrade system
and each level gets more insane
like L4D didn't do that
but do a random events per level
Aside from that
the card system its okay
they basically took that from their last game I mean
and then the aim in this game makes no sense
you don't need ADS
not even sprint, they added it at can sprint 4m and then the whole bar in the screen
I feel like if they made L4D2 for consoles
ala that UZombie
Economics and purchases in other hand are over the orignal left 4 dead
plus the cards
the rest to me, sorry but is under the original
also the machineguns aim better the more you shoot
kinda like some counter strike strange thing
You will now also start receiving multi-weekly emails asking for a meeting with one of their staff
To discuss Perforce
๐
glhf ๐
They had a nice checkbox that said "I'm not an employee of a company" which may have disabled that
since it offered an additional checkbox if ticked to enable marketing communications from them
Not sure I clicked it, but I imagine I selected the same tbh. But we'll see ๐
which I obviously did not tick lol
well I'll just click the unsubscribe button if they start emailing me, and if it's not available I'll just send an angry response lol
"How are you getting along with Perforce? Have a call to discuss your experience, etc"
Maybe to guage if they can get a bigger contract out of you?
Anyway, declining to speak with them worked fine, they were nice about it.
I prefer Taco from Trello
I've actually once bought a product where they called me after a while on my phone to make sure I got everything set up
It was unexpected but kinda neat
wut
there is definitely no restart pending...
The jank commenceth
this is a sure sign of quality software
I looked at Plastic SCM as well but their licensing is extremely unclear
It's shit like this that made me eventually go: "fuck this"
What are you using instead?
Git, but that might not be an option for you depending on how many people you work with
Two
:P
Including myself
GitHub is starting to be a pain with the size of the project
File locking is apparently not as great as with perforce, perforce is arguably also easier for artists. Other than that, git works fine for my usecase.
and it doesn't seem like Git-LFS does deltas on binary files and I don't have infinite amounts of space on my VPS for this either
azure devops
Free < 5 users
Unlimited space
\o/
Huh, I looked at the Azure offerings and did not see that
Let's see
Trying to google for azure devops, get four sponsored links before the actual microsoft page for it lol

this looks promising, thanks for the tip

anyone having problems connecting to the epic unreal section
seems to work for 1 min than shuts down
lol
?
I actually replied once to Travis from perforce and he viciously emailed me back multiple times, he is a real person I can assure you
if you mean the unreal engine tab in epic games launcher it works fine for me
now it does too but sometimes havin errors and stupid shit
hey I know 2 months ago you emailed me back about configuring your environment I just wanted to reach back out.. lol same with someone from autodesk
The man, the myth, the legend
One day I'm going to invite Taco and Travis to the pub and explain to them how legendary they are, they will most definitely think I'm crazy
im going to email that to him
its going to happen
The mittens
Best engine ever

Actually 4 have more than 6, is counting DLCs
396 games using Godot, that's unexpected
it's a portal 2 mod obviously
opened up my 4.26 examples and I forgot I strung them all together in a giant row
(joking, I think it's on ue4)
it's pretty great
only 6 person team too
can't blame them, it would pretty much get them half way there

Got a 3090 during the summer, only game I had installed that could take advantage of it was The Ascent... fired it up aaaand it ran worse than on my previous 1080ti... when will I learn to only buy & play games minimum 1 year after they're released?
(Or rather, I know how to do that, but then all my friends will already have played them and gotten bored of them.) ๐
It comes with racist zombies too apparently
what games do you jerks play to relax?
phasmophobia, hitman, bridge constructor: mortal kombat ...?
When I'm not trying to make one? A friend got me into DRG which is pretty fun
dude, minecraft is not relaxing
Not that fun by yourself, but fun with others that's for sure
death racer germany?
deep rock galactic
ew it's like aud$45 on steam
If not that I sometimes play DCS or war thunder
death car seattle?
Which, are both made by russians for some reason
They must have a knack for making that sort of stuff
eh, gotta be better than war of worldships
made by fucking games workshop
speaking of the ruskies
i know enough of their alphabet to be able to read "russian version" ๐
oh good, spam
well this is a confusing mess of a game
there's nothing about it that's good
the name, the menu, the graphics, the instructions, the music, the sound fx, the gameplay
all fucking terrible
the store page makes it look a LOT better than it is
so you'd be better off playing nothing?
Thanks to AMD's open source FidelityFX, a passtionate member of the VR community has created a mod that allows you to activate the functionality for a LARGE library of Steam VR games to get better framerates/resolutions.
In this video I talk about why this is a huge deal, and what it says for the future of PC VR.
Link to mod: https://github.co...
drop resolution to 240p per eye?
tl;rd = a modded version of FSR for steamvr / openvr
fsr is made by AMD but works on nvidia too
can we get rtgi in VR now? no? then I don't care... ๐
(heck, I'd settle for AO in VR in Unreal...) ๐
real-time ray-traced global illumination at 8k per eye
we cant even get normal lightmaps
also the raytracing on current status its overrated
No more sliding hands, yay! ๐
Not a bad idea actually. ๐
make the face scrape against the floor
with realistic abrasion wounds created by shaders ๐
what's the issue with normal lightmaps in VR?
Sir, this is #lounge
No excuses, get to work ๐
We need to make 21k Unreal Engine games just to catch up
thats about 1.25 games each
Reminds me of these guys who automated hazard games.
Fo mobile the HDR render is too heavy
for desktop should be fine but the cost are high on memory already sooo
HDR is so last gen, QXDR is where its at now
I didn't notice any VR game with realtime shadows
and you expect realtime raytracing :p
the people are real, the cases are real, the verdicts are final
I don't know which is worse, renovating or building
I'm willing to bet renovating
I've been spending the past three days evening out drywalls
oh, you're talking about the actual physical part
Christ. I wish I was doing that part instead of the design
removing old wallpapers
Plastering is the worst
THAT WERE PUT DIRECTLY ON DRYWALL WITHOUT ANY PAINT UNDERNEATH
As far as I'm concerned, wallpaper should be banned
๐
some are nice
but this is like this white 90s paper wallpaper that has some depth and texture to it
it's impossible to remove from the drywall
Last time I had to deal with wallpaper... I didn't.
Is there another player in mobile VR than Facebook? If not, fuck them. ๐
mudded the whole thing right over it
wait a second
Brown, orange and green striped wallpaper ftw
At low temps its common
I once worked on a place where I don't remember how many separate layers of wallpapers and paint there were
uh, first time I see it
THAT was some impossible shit
๐
Like.. you could take a knife, cut a section.. and it was like driving through a cut out canyon
all these colored layers
nice
That house had so many fucking weird things in it
and if we want to polish the old parquet or put vinyl planks (that the correct term?) or laminate on top of it
You have to have the right geometry for accent walls.. like... people will do one in a rectangular room.. and not do anything special... and it's weird.
It's good if it's an inset section.. or you're going to put some kind of specific furniture against it... but then you basically can't move anything ever
And, vinyl planks could be the right term.. if they're actually.. planks
yea they are
Okay. Just making sure you weren't talking about some rolled out or tiled linoleum
eww no
๐
I mean, even these planks are borderline yucky
looks like wood but overall feeling is really plasticy
imo
If it's actually real wood flooring... polishing and sealing them could look really good... but then they're glossy and you have to worry about scratching the shit out of them
Though, personally, I'm not a fan of parquet because I don't like patterns
the parquet finish doesn't have to be that glossy
Last 2-3 weeks, I was doing full house cleaning and reordering + totally changing the bedroom. It sucks.
It's generally going to be somewhat glossy
sure
I don't think you can get a real matte sealer on top of it
Just, you know, higher gloss makes any imperfections in the surface that much more visible
oh that's a large pic, only 58 MB!
And, if you're me, then you accidentally blind yourself looking at the floor
knocked down a wall between a bedroom and the kitchen and removed the doors from them to the living room
processing...
notice the different colour window frames
... this is good for UE scene
might have wanted to make that a jpeg rather than a png at print size
Are you working? Stop.
@zinc matrix Come on, man!
wigge wigge wuuuu
That's a weird set of stairs. Slightly more manageable than the 270 degree spiral that a friend's parents had up to a loft section
They put in pulleys and hoisted all of the furniture up there
We had to carry computers and CRTs up the stairs for a LAN party.
Well, if you haven't carried your PC to a buddy, you didn't had a live.
You have weird light switches, a very high security door, and I think you should leave that light "fixture" like that forever.
Trust me, it is not fun trying to carry a 40 pound CRT around a narrow spiral staircase
It was the kind of environment where if you had to carry a glass in both hands, there was a 37% chance you would die
I remember crying from these CRT when playing games.
the light switches don't have their covers on
๐
removed them for painting the walls
I know that part. I mean the switches themselves are weird
Also weird that there are three separate ones stacked like that
That a decor from old movie about UFOs.
instead of them being all together in a 3-gang box.. or given those kind of switches... they'd fit horizontally in a single gang
the ones in the living room?
one of them is a "crown" switch
wires go to the same lamp spot but there's an extra wire that can be controlled separately
and I don't see why I'd want them horizontally instead of vertically
takes more wall space that way
the covers and buttons look like this
flush switch?
There's a single gang setup for three separate switches
so you only have one box
@light spruce well it is one box, it's just a box with three vertical flush buttons ๐
Steve from Perforce wishes to know how I got along with my Perforce installation
Maybe I should tell him I gave up and uninstalled it already
lol
Use cvs
Be OldSchool
I for real did send what ponkkis made to travis from perforce, along with a for real question about how I could p4 with our git repos
That's super weird. You weird foreigners. I've never seen such a beast. Because it makes it really tall.
It's less total area!
Travis got my email and quit on the spot, now I feel bad ๐ฆ
Also, for doing new switch installs, if I need multiple switches, they'll be going in single gang boxes anyway.
I would like to point out that I've installed Perforce successfully more than once. But it's been a while.
I installed it successfully, it was easy after it finally finished downloading after what felt like an hour of downloading 12mb's because their DL server was so slow
Getting there... slowly ๐
But I never managed to install the client because it insisted I had a reboot pending
and I didn't feel like rebooting
I'll let you know how it goes whenever I set up another one when I move everything to something arch-based
then someone mentioned I get infinite git space on Azure Devops for free and that was the end of that story
lol
Though that still won't help you with versioning binary files...but
The problem with them was just the space requirement :P
mastercomms just updated his git LFS unreal plugin
And it wants to reboot on Windows because it needs to use the environment variables.. which it can't set without rebooting
It's not really a huge problem otherwise since it's just me and one other person working on them
so diffing and merging binaries might be easy in editor, been meaning to try it
It wanted to reboot my PC even before starting the install :D
even the installer wouldn't run
I don't remember having that problem.
sounds like a problem for travis and or steve from perforce
Yeah no idea but it wasn't a good sign lol
and maybe taco from trello could help
I don't know how old my p4 client currently is... I haven't been doing anything that's needed version control in a while
zomgmozomgomgm mentioned it... but it didn't seem like it actually was doing versioning deltas... but I haven't looked at it all. I haven't ever set up git since it just isn't for binary stuff... which is what most of my unreal-related crap would be... as would be any of the assets I do.
Even if it does do proper delta versioning... I'd need to do some reesearch before I would want to be rolling with some random third-party plugin to do it.
Perforce falls into my professional tools bucket of "Yeah, it's professional software.. which means that most of it sucks."
Yeah I'm not even using the UE git integration
mastercomms has a custom version (he originally worked on the stock ue git integration) and he just a few days ago dropped a lot of fixes that focus on speed with LFS.
the unholy trinity... unreal... git.. perforce...
Why would you use both ๐ค
because who in their right mind would pay for storage on projects your not using?
perforce just needs to be used in some cases because it's just easier for everyone, this workflow would let you have free storage, and only pay for storage on a server where you are actively working on a project
heh
Why do I feel like I'm the only one who does stuff locally?
I have my own servers for shit
I don't need to send it to other people... other strangers
I have a VPS but it's easier to just press a button and have someone else deal with the infra
lol
I've got two VM hosts over there
Reasonable number of drives... ZFS.... scripted backups from Windows that I still need to optimize but I had to stop working on that to work on something else
they really need to let us report answerhub posts
what do i type here lol, for what is this chat?

oohhh thanks
wellโฆme and my friends will try to make a game, have you guys worked in a team before?
okay, my question is: How to work in a team do you save the project to files everytime when you change something and then send it to other team members or?
!8ball does room need windows?
@soft night, :8ball: Ask again later.
Source Control. Git, Perforce, Plastic etc.
plastic is out out of consideration
Oh okay thanks for answering lol, and i saw a multi user unreal when its like multiple people developing at same time
is it legit?
Never used it. It's a relatively new feature that is different from multiple users accessing via source control.
Okay, i will try it out soon
I have connecyed an old ssd into the sata where my dvd used to be and windows says the ssd its at 100% use, almost all the time, ideas?
Maybe Windows is trying to index it's contents?
its taking years to even load now
so is broken?
no clue
it show max use on graph before but it show at same time it wasnt in use
Have you reformated it?
I pressed but istill loading
seems like its working now

TL;DR: we're breaching your basic right to privacy and scanning ALL OF YOUR CHAT just "tO trAcK sOmE pEdOs"
It's so sudden, brutal and stupid I thought it was a joke. Apparently it's not, and it's coming this Autumn
So yeah, mail whip your local EU Parliament member before it's too late
The End of the Privacy of Digital Correspondence
The EU decided to let providers search all private chats, messages, and emails automatically for suspicious content - generally and indiscriminately. The stated aim: To prosecute child pornography. The result: Mass surveillance by means of fu
"half expecting them to remove the editor to fix this problem" xD
The solution to all these fancy proposed error-prone mass digital surveillance things:
Throw everything in the trash and end global communication
ive googled how to make an explosion enough to be on a tracking list of every 3 letter agency
think most of em flagged me as noise allready
mix it with other terms... explosive diarrhea. explosive orgasms. explosive orgasmic diarrhea. They won't even want to look then.
Like if I get the sudden urge to use terrible algorithms to go through everyone's communications?
Oh, you mean that thing that badly implemented mass surveillance won't solve
I thoroughly enjoy all of the proposals for any problem put forth by politicians that, at best, doesn't actually solve the problem... or... actively makes it worse.
Like what happens when they say "We want to stop sex trafficking!" and do that by putting pressure on people to get rid of any kind "escort" advertisements... thus making it actually harder to be aware of those things.
Of course, if they didn't make prostitution illegal... then it'd be a lot easier to find trafficking as well as protect people in sex work instead of leaving them to be victimized because they can't very well go to law enforcement.
TL;DR - idiots in government make me very angry.
i bought 3 facebook cameras and put em in my room, im way past privacy
im pretty much an advertizement clicking zombie
Oh, I'd put the people involved in the ground without a second thought or losing any sleep
But I'm pretty tired of it being used as a justification for absolutely everything
Let the really bad algorithms loose on it..and when it flags stuff... we'll just let random people go through all of your photos
just w8 til they find my uddercrab collection
all my crabs have udders
its a personal kink, as far as i know its not illegal yet

reading the "anti-germ" theory thing on Ars was ... I'm not even sure. I already don't want to live on this planet or live anymore.. so I don't know what that meant. But holy shit was that awful

"titties"
that was the first thing that my brain returned
followed by "why is she wearing some fucking safety glasses?"
Planets, planeeeets, not boobs or glasses.
Listen, man
What I have to work off of here is a "thumbnail"
And, now that I'm not off-axis from this display, I really want to punch her in the face for her glasses alone
Even though she might be more than modestly hot at a higher resolution
oh... right... I forgot that I was going to link that article... I was having a kinda balls Warzone match at the time
Interesting oO
Do you normally describe "terrifyingly stupid" things as "interesting"?
Yep, with your words. Prolly there are more theories like this one.
I knew a guy who didn't want to drink certain types of bottled mineral water, because "fluorine". I had to show him that the bananas he is eating contain more than that brand. Not sure what happened with him later ๐ค
chainsaw accident. bear mauling. golfing during a thunderstorm
Don't ask why but I have a power board under the desk (it's a deep desk) which the computer is plugged into
I stretched my legs and my toe ended up flicking the power off
Super stupid moment
what is a "power board"?
Maybe it was a typ0, it was a Power boar. Wild pig.
boars scare the shit out of me
There is a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal short list of things that scare me
Tbf, not sure I have seen boars. Only pigs who are left to run around the mountains. They are chill tho.
wild boars are terrifying
this thing
They breed rapidly, they're dangerous, and they're also quite stout
oh. right. typically would refer to that as a "power strip"
Sometimes erroneously as a "surge protector" because not all of them have surge protection
ALSO THE SURGE PROTECTION WEARS OUT
ELECTRONICS
HOLD SHIFT AND MAKE POOR DECISONS
(I might be about to make one of those)
My neighbors are family of hunters, they love boars.
Yeah...I don't routinely carry the kind of gear that would be necessary for a chance encounter with one
It'd basically be "okay... just casually mo--oh fuck empty the magazine"
My surge protectors have this light on them which supposedly tells you the status of the surge protection
But... I have no idea if the light being on means good or bad
:P
probably by design
If I had things my way... I would have building-wide power conditioning... and also a large AC/DC transformer so I could run straight DC to a lot of stuff
One of them has the light on
the other one doesn't
it has some text on it which I think says "protection against lightning" but nothing useful
:P
....also it's all in french for some reason
french, which is not a language anyone speaks here, and which is not a language anything sold here is in
Most of my stuff is plugged into UPS
Shit I don't care about goes in the "surge protection only" side
pleasekillmeitisforthebest
u must have a chonker UPS
I think I have like 12-14 power cables related to everything I have on my computer desk
I wonder if a reasonably priced UPS can do that
Or I just have two for my desk...and another one for my server stuff
I was looking into buying one and you basically have to calc ur power draw
I think mine ended up being a lot, so eh
if you divided those strips into priorities that could work out in your favor. one for your computer/monitor
Yeah perhaps
rest for unnecessaries
looks like you can get an UPS with 700 watts power for about 200 eur
you can also get a ups with 400 watts for 200 eur
so I have no freaking idea
lol
I think my 750W PSU draws something like 300-400W under load, just an estimation based on mr tech tips
plus your monitor is what
I could probably just get a watt meter, it would be kinda interesting to see that anyway
for sure!
and I run three monitors with one being an older IPS monitor which heats up a bit so it probably draws more juice than the two newer ones :D
might be, I got an old plasma TV that must be drawing a million watts
least feels like it
it's silent but deadly hum takes over the room
lol
I guess you could still run power strips off the UPS
most of them barely have any outlets on them
also a lot of the UPS units with more connections seem to use the IEC 320 C13 connectors
instead of the regular schukos all power cables use
I think the smaller units use those. From what I've seen the big chungues 1500W+ use the normal plugs
Ah yeah that'd make sense since the connector is much more compact
ROBLOCKS
ROBLOX?
I don't even know what it's called
where is whoever that guy was when you don't need him
boblogs
new concept don't steal

Yeah sure that seems like the ideal placement for this
and I assume you keep all your power strips on your desk as well
also, to me, it looks like an eight bay docking station for electric razors and/or toothbrushes
oh, yeah
totally not on the floor, behind desk parts, covered in spiderwebs and dog hair
Balls of dust too.
well that's what my balls are full of
henlo
put this on your desk
this is your desk now
accept it
did... someone fill nixie tubes with uv jizz?
Under my desk
Things that Hoodie Man hates #35: Using Wwise for foley job
I'll something under your desk
Once I kicked off my power supply which is under the desk.
It is frustrating when you can't stretch your legs.
I built a multi-level footrest for my desk
And my UPSeseses are push buttons.....so no switches
I kicked off the cable between my UPS and the PC. It was critical hit.

If someone of Epic reads this, the creator of SDL (used by epic and by almost every game) requested a devgrant for a lib... please guys...
the team should reconsider that
Ain't no one gonna read that
Post it to the forums instead? bigger chance of someone seeing it (also provide links)
What does Unreal use SDL for?
the input systems and something else

Should I stick with blender and Quixl Mixer for creating my first assets? I am overwhelmed with all the other options!
They seem to be solid options
ok thanks!
blender was in todays nvidia special address at siggraph 2021
ngl I'm smh on parsec acquisition :-/
omniverse is cool
haven't seen any kinds of plans of changes publicized but I'm waiting for unity to downhill that thing-- my company has been parsec customers since before they had teams
and it has nothing to do with games to be clear
at least on the plus side making a parsec competitor is literally as simple as importing an Nvidia SDK so...
not like there isn't options if things go downhill (tbc I have no intent to move off parsec just because unity has it, just dooming about the future)
I just want you to know... I love you.

I don't know... I'm straight but all about that gay hookup life so
Me too, was a joke. I don't care in general, similar to who is following what religion/football club/political party/etc.
you're all about gay hookup life?
"all about" sounds too involving.
the ONLY thing you're about
Oh? Yeah, true... now thinking of it. So you are all 'bout it?
Thats from American Horror Stories ๐
Huh? I saw it on reddit, but didn't draw a connection.
Tho considering the userbase is mostly Americans...
I'm not about anything
It was on a recent episode about bro house influencers, its pretty funny

I saw a crew of RX8s in Victor Harbor the other day, Sunday drivers ๐
My RX8 story: I test drove one, turned it off, then it wouldn't start so I assume it flooded. Waited 10 mins, then it started but had check engine light on... returned it and never considered buying one again lol
The salesperson didn't seem particularly fazed about me returning it with the CEL on so I assume it wasn't the first time it did that...
I'd still like a Eunos Cosmo though ๐ค
and BMW recalled the Supra, probably shoulda bought a Z4... better than an RX8 as well
nope Z4 recalled as well ๐

tfw Lua brokes some of your muscle memory
But yeah, decided to bring my game scripts into Lua
Always trust the magic bullet.
i don't enjoy lua

seems to be a kludge between oldish-school basic syntax and vaguely modern languages like python or go
or even tcl/lisp-like in some ways
like it doesn't know what it wants to be, who it's targeted to, so it just borrows shit from everyone
Well, it IS copying BASIC to some extent.
And it's a scripting high level language, not a low level one, and it extends C.
As for who it's targeted for:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lua_(programming_language)-scripted_video_games
Python sucks ass.
As in American "ass", not British "arse".
That's not a compliment in American either.
Can't stand it too. Have to admit tho, it have a performing implementations.
I just hate doing Python even in Blender, but that's because I have no choice.
Have to swallow the bitter pills.
