prove it*

[median wraith]

Put the default sky in a sublevel and then reference the directional from main level

[median wraith]

Tanks

[ionic flame]

You click on your actor in the level, then head to your level blueprint, right click + do get reference

your sub levels can also have level blueprints btw

[ionic flame]

and this makes no sense

Your confusion probably comes from misunderstanding how ULevels work

[median wraith]

let me give you an example

[ionic flame]

like I understand what you're trying to say

and am saying that the system wasn't developed that way; what you're asking for would create a lot of spaghetti in code

[median wraith]

Like here is the directional, whatever if you choose it won't set

if you have 2 sublevels to switch the skybox

then you cannot reference the main light

[ionic flame]

yes, and I'm saying that that makes sense

[median wraith]

Man but Tim did a retweet where this work on Godot

🤖

[ionic flame]

that's a "limitation" of ULevel and its relationship with UWorld

it's not an easy patch up

[median wraith]

Like I get the system cannot handle childs or levels that aren't static, but I feel bad about this

[ionic flame]

it's not that it cannot handle child levels

it's that levels are their own encapsulated thing

[median wraith]

it's possible todo a get all actors and reference it ?

[carmine frigate]

UE6 wil be 90% godot code:P

[ionic flame]

yeah

cuz many ULevels can exist within a single UWorld

[median wraith]

well then maybe can do something like that or make a tool to link it for a second

[thorny dock]

on twitter there was this really cool 3D shader picture frame, you could get it with a leap motion controller built in to interact with it, and create your own stuff, but I can't for the life of me find it

wow right as I say that twitter decided to show it to me, I have been looking for a while now lol, it's called looking glass factory

I haven't spoken to my manager in over two years even though we became friends. sad.

every time i'd text her she'd say she's text or call me the next day then never did. i waited a week and text her again and she said the same thing.

i figured she was probably just busy and would text me when she got around to it but that was over two years ago.

[quasi mantle]

Or let's just say you've been ghosted.

[carmine frigate]

it could be corona 😛

[ocean parcel]

Would a 58 year old woman really do that? XD I mean intentionally?

[carmine frigate]

or alzheimers

[ocean parcel]

Last contact was July 2019, so there was a good half a year before that kicked off!

[carmine frigate]

there was aids and a bunch of other stuff B4 that

[quasi mantle]

Ghosting practically goes with anything, not limited to dating. and yeah, 58 y.o. woman could cut off communication with someone, for whatever reason.

[ocean parcel]

24

[ocean parcel]

i guess so but she seemed to really like me and want to stay in contact with me. she even started the communication after i left. it just seemed so weird that she just stopped messaging.

........

[carmine frigate]

i read facebook servers were down for a long time, that could be it!

[ocean parcel]

i've never used facebook XD

[carmine frigate]

i ended it with a false, programmer joke

[quasi mantle]

Jokes aside, she's likely have much more important thing to worry about, being a housewife and probably still doing management works. Or it's a case that your messages were buried on top of other more important messages in her inbox.

[carmine frigate]

prolly bunch of spam and nitro scams

[ocean parcel]

hmmm, i think i'll just text her tomorrow.

[carmine frigate]

mayB she met a nigerian prince

[ocean parcel]

either that or die alone.

[carmine frigate]

deiin with others is highly overrated

[ocean parcel]

you have a weird imagination

[quasi mantle]

I sometimes heard that some younger employee would develop semi-parental relationship with their elder higherups.

[carmine frigate]

we call those place deathcamps and they aint cool

[ocean parcel]

Yeah, that was what it was like!

[ionic flame]

^ eh, only if the psychological rift can't be adapted to acceptable levels

[quasi mantle]

And I can already tell that you've considered your manager as your "mother figure", so to speak.

I just bypassed a getter/setter for a 3x speedup

perhaps it gets optimized away in shipping builds?

[red pewter]

I reaaaaally hope this just means a small cheapo blockchain as a gimmick for ownership and not "buy skins with $200,000 in whatever trendy bitcoin people use now and pray we don't steal your money"

pretty disappointed they take this stance because NFTs have not been going very well

I keep hearing that a modern blockchain doesn't require insane energy costs to run but people keep just selling stuff on them for regular crypto

Interesting factoid for the night: A Donkey Puncher was an engineer that operated a logging donkey during early logging operations

https://tenor.com/view/saved-by-the-bell-wow-dafuq-mindblown-gif-8960821

[thorny dock]

oh you never used a logging donkey before?

/s

[dim ruin]

and just for fun, here's a picture of an old steam donkey in use circa 1898

the donkey puncher can be seen in the front-left of the image.

[sage ermine]

so if it gets stuck you just give it a kick in the ass?

[dim ruin]

It would be the donkey puncher's responsibility to handle spooling issues yes. And often further down the line was another operator called a Whistler Punk which passed messages to the donkey puncher via encoded whistle messages

[sage ermine]

too bad it was a donkey they could have used horse code

Actually I never managed to see the point of these mans with womans posters or calendars on their work spaces

They work hard in front of what they desire and never will have ? I don't see the point, that makes you work faster or with a purpose in the life ?

[ancient ingot]

Katherine Elizabeth Upton is an American model and actress. She first appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2011, and was the cover model for the 2012, 2013 and 2017 issues. In addition, she was the subject of the 100th-anniversary Vanity Fair cover.

To be fair, it's the same with people putting anime wallpapers in their devices and anime merchs in their room.

like with the 780 had 30 FPS, in the 970GTX 30FPS

and is 1080

[ancient ingot]

[median wraith]

I have a question here

Epic and Tim supports Blockchain

The people typical topic is the blockchain is bad due energy use

But they play MMORPGs to get items and that's nice? So whats the energy difference

[pearl elk]

I was watching Dust on YT last night at 1080 and it was compressed to hell

black splotches everywhere

[soft night]

I had reference images for a project

how you guys organize these things ?

I end mixing things

[quasi mantle]

Also Pure Ref.
Put the Pure Ref window in another monitor and put some images in it.

[median wraith]

oh I mean in the folders

I did a tool that basically does that purerf thing back in the days

[quasi mantle]

In my case, it's either in the unreal project folder, or a folder in Pictures folder.

[median wraith]

I mean that's a proof of how bad my marketing used / is
Made it before PureRef was a thing it seems, back in the days there was other tool but wasn't free or this cost

[quasi mantle]

<@&213101288538374145>

[unborn lotus]

I use only 3 lazy folders: in, wip, out. References; all working files, bakes, etc; final stuff that goes to the client or in UE

[quasi mantle]

Seems like someone gullible, based on their chat history.

Also put your Two Factor Authentication on, lads.

[median wraith]

I'm using sharex or alike then end mixing contents

Or do a folder with all the concepts and then no idea what was for

[tight panther]

OK glad this guy was dumb enough to post this publicy here LOL

Because he's definitely DM'ing the whole server..

[median wraith]

well is traumatized

[quasi mantle]

He's gullible enough to fall for the scam and letting someone else took his account for spamming.

[tight panther]

I was already wondering why the profile looked surprisingly not bot'ish

Guessed that was a possibility

(I was talking about the true scammer obv!)

Unfortunately no platform connections to contact the guy anywhere :c

[median wraith]

that

[tight panther]

Yeah yeah I'm aware Hevedy

I meant the scammer of course

[quasi mantle]

Discord in free account is serviceable, but the Nitro perks are admittedly quite juicy, many people can be gullible to the rampant scam.

Not to mention the free 3 month nitro from Steam scam, which safe to say taking advantage of gullible and jealous Valve hardliners.

[fluid bloom]

finally installed fire alarms in the house

only took one and half months!

[quasi mantle]

Epic actually gave away free 3 months of Discord Nitro a while ago, and some of us here had some fun with it. (I brought Idolmaster emojis with me lol)

And then some Steam fanboys are jealous for it, thus scammers taking advantage of the situation.

[median wraith]

Imagine all this accounts was hacked by Epic games when they gave the free Nitro (jk just in case)

😂 😝

[tight panther]

Oh they did? Well.. sh$% 😂

[median wraith]

Yeah Epic did a promo on their launcher to get 3 free months

I think prior to that the bots spam was lower

like there was no such promos I bet

[tight panther]

I was hoping it's not a bot but a person and replied

They were instantly offline though, obviously

Hoped I could track them with Grabify :P

[quasi mantle]

Back then there was CSGO skin scams instead lol

[tight panther]

Now it's "Vote for my IEM CSGO team" scams instead

[median wraith]

yeah that's more steam focused and youtubers

loot boxes and that

[tight panther]

So yeah - 2FA/MFA. Please!

[quasi mantle]

So moral of the story:

1. Use 2FA.
2. Fanboying can make you lose brain cells.

[foggy path]

2FA is not a guaranteed

[median wraith]

do someone played Warthunder or World of Tanks ?

[foggy path]

You can still get your account hacked with 2FA enabled

[tight panther]

You can always be screwed no matter what

But it's a pretty big reinforcement

[foggy path]

Yeah - definitely enable 2FA but don't let it trick you into thinking you're completely safe

[quasi mantle]

At least that would be a peace of mind. 2FA code randomised every 30 seconds.

[tight panther]

Yes, no 100% safety, sadly

[foggy path]

Randomization is also completely irrelevant if it's poorly implemented at the service which is being targeted, and a lot of the time they are

Eg. the service only requires you to input a 2FA code to log in, and then it's free reign

they should require you to also input password and 2FA to change any user settings

[quasi mantle]

30 seconds is enough for the account owner to type it in real time, but often not for scammers from far away.

[foggy path]

but most don't do this

Scammers don't need to type the code in... they present you with a password dialog, and then they present you with a 2FA code dialog

And... now they logged in with your 2FA code

:P

[tight panther]

Although I'm pretty sure there's a grace period for older codes

So it's probably a bit longer than 30 :p

[quasi mantle]

I used Authy, and AFAIK the code becomes invalid when you're not entering it down in time.

[foggy path]

Yeah they should

They will be invalid if your device clock has drifted too

[tight panther]

I use Authy too and it works for me lol

[quasi mantle]

Though it's a bit nuisance because Epic Games sites keeps logging me off even if I ticked on "Remember me" in my computer.

And I have to rush to my phone everytime I got logged out lol

Granted, I used VPN, but that "remember me" option might be useless to begin with for Epic Games logins.

[foggy path]

Regarding VPN's btw https://twitter.com/mcflyhh/status/1447502855129243649

mc.fly (@mcflyhh)

Use PIA, ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, or ZenMate? They’re now owned by a malware company that also bought a bunch of VPN review sites that now list their own properties at the top.

LOL

Might be your VPN, surprisingly the Epic auto login works the best out of all of them for me

No matter how long I'm absent from one of the sites

[foggy path]

Epic's auto login on unrealengine.com was causing an infinite loop for me

It just would get stuck redirecting to one page, then back, then back.. then back...

Had to clear cookies to fix it

And some Idolmaster stuff are exclusive to Japanese internet, so yeah, as a fan of im@s.

[foggy path]

I never tried it but I guess if you used a japanese IP maybe you can just watch japanese tv 🤔

I know some of the channels there do have broadcasts online but they're account or maybe geolocation gated

I wouldn't mind catching gaki or some other variety shows when they air but I bet it's at a super inconvenient time due to timezones so I dunno

[tight panther]

GAKI!

Most JP TV is still off the internet, unfortunately, I believe

[foggy path]

two and a half months until the next 24 hours batsugame broadcast

[quasi mantle]

Speaking of NHK World, I remember when Im@s got shown there a while ago.

[tight panther]

😂 👌

[median wraith]

where you live at ?

[quasi mantle]

Oh right, the game actually only available in Eastern Asia regions.

Thankfully Indonesia included.

[tight panther]

Good stuff always banned

Even Unreal Tournament

Good old Germany, o'course..

[median wraith]

Germany

oh yeah

[tight panther]

Hahaha

See, didn't even have to say it :D

[quasi mantle]

FYI: This game is an Unreal Engine 4 game.

[tight panther]

Oh is it?

[quasi mantle]

Yeah, look at the gameplay videos or screencaps.

[median wraith]

@tight panther and the blood used to be green there

[tight panther]

Actually, I'm kinda surprised Senran Kagura isn't banned here

[tight panther]

Trueeee! You even know that

[quasi mantle]

All hope's not lost though

The game's available on PS4, so you could import a physical copy and plop it in a PS5.

[median wraith]

well not sure if green or blue but

[tight panther]

And people in CS would basically surrender upon dying, lol

Yeah it was green most of the times haha

[median wraith]

Not sure why they ban that things tbh

[tight panther]

PS5 LUL

It's an old-school cultural thing basically

People are afraid of school shootings, etc.

[median wraith]

"We regret our past, let's ban the future to make some individuals even more extremist due never can fulfill what they want to play/etc"

[tight panther]

:D

I never though I'd do, but I bought a Series S last month for JUDGMENT/LOST JUDGMENT specifically because you just can't get a hold of a PS5 right now without sacrificing your job basically

[quasi mantle]

Starlit Season was also the very first time the series playable on PC proper.

Back, back, back then, the very first Idolmaster game was an Xbox 360 exclusive, after made its debut as an arcade game, until eventually later mainline entries become PlayStation exclusive (but not in exclusivity deal, just that the sales stack up better in PS)

[tight panther]

Yeah I just read into it a bit

Glad Japan is acknowledging PC as a platform 🤣

Slowly but surely

Hilarious it was XBox though, considering it's status over there

[foggy path]

illusion games are all pc exclusive

[quasi mantle]

Also I'm still drooling over screenshots where Makoto Kikuchi is in the camera.

Gosh, she looks beautiful even in Unreal Engine 4.

Also, I did "fanrender" of my own of her, ripping from the mobile game (because it's easier to fetch it from the server than decrypting PS4 disc)

Basically I used idolmaster cast to battle test my UE4 stuff.

[tight panther]

Heeey that looks pretty good there!

Already on Windows 11? :D

Yep, I used it since the leak lol.
It works quite well on me tbh, but still had mixed user experience with it.

[tight panther]

She working on UE projects though, very meta :D

Also, do you use JetBrains Rider as IDE?

[quasi mantle]

Nah, I used VS'19 :P

Besides, my Rider free trial already worn out a few months ago.

[tight panther]

I see, thought that's Rider on the left monitor there haha

[quasi mantle]

That's actually VS code lol
Don't want to accidentally spoil my original game project's source code in there, so I put a throwaway UE C++ code in there

[celest musk]

what's the difference?

[tight panther]

I see!

Between Code and Community?

[celest musk]

between his game code and throwaway code

[tight panther]

One could be considered sensitive

[quasi mantle]

The former is closed source, so I can't show it.

I was signed up too early for it, so mine got expired circa June.

It was, for all intents and purposes, free trial for a year.

Maybe it got renewed?
Do you sign up in March 2020?

Same tbh

Not to mention it got a bit too greedy with memory usage.

VS'19 being a 32-bit app actually gave me advantage, because the memory usage for it is limited. Even if it means Intellisense/syntax highlighting is sloooow.

I've been considering buying VAX, thought it's a tad expensive, but could worth the investment.

[celest musk]

can't you download a new key from your jetbrains account?

[quasi mantle]

Not sure, but I don't really care tbh.

[celest musk]

on the jetbrains account mine says Valid through: March 31, 2022

and i signed up when they announced it

[quasi mantle]

Guess they offer free renewal until it's out of beta.

[ionic flame]

enjoy the freebie while it lasts

[quasi mantle]

Not enjoying it while it lasts 🙈

Gotta be honest.

also, math in ue4 is far more simplified than math in std/boost

most of the heavy lifting is done for you

[timber viper]

Is it just me or other people also fixing some bugs in their dreams

Like variable names and functions are not clear in the dreams but code blocks are very similar and when I follow the things I've done I'm getting to some point in real life lol

Sometimes I don't have a choice but yeah you're right 😄

If you can't fix a bug, go for a walk, sleep or just do something else and when you get back you'll magically be able to fix it.

It's just a spaghetti, you start from one end until all is done.

but you dont, events flow across classes and there are listeners

individual BPs are easy to read, gameplay systems overall are difficult especially if youre not the one who designed it

is it illegal to extract files from a game?

To clarify, I'm referring to like looking into the files for games and seeing what the devil is in there. Not even UE4 I just mean games in general. Wasn't sure if you're not meant to do that lmao.
*or rather if game companies would get annoyed if you did that.

[celest musk]

https://tenor.com/view/gordon-ramsey-you-are-mad-making-me-gif-20448961

[celest musk]

they would probably be annoyed if you take advantage of knowledge that you may have earned by reverse engineering, in some way that it harms them

[unborn lotus]

I heard about ripping assets to use as blockouts or reference for sizes

[ocean parcel]

ahhh, like using a Unity extractor to download all the models in a Unity game and finding out there's some that weren't in the final game?

[celest musk]

no, like copying game mechanics 1:1

or assets

well, using assets for blockout, i think the person who does that either wont get far in the first place, or could've done it even without ripping assets

[ocean parcel]

ah, ok, thank you. :)

[unborn lotus]

Ok by heard I mean seen haha. They could have done it but it just saved time

[celest musk]

but if you are able to disassemble software to a point where you understand it, you'll most likely be able to get that stuff done on your own

[pearl elk]

its not something you should really talk about if youre doing it, depends on your local laws

reverse engineering isnt actually okay everywhere

[celest musk]

yea, it was for a long while here, then got forbidden, and now the EU is thinking about changing it to some point where you are allowed to fix software from 3rd partys by reverse engineering

[pearl elk]

but Im not a lawyer, not giving legal advice

[celest musk]

it's a clown show by politicians 😄

imagine buying a chair and the leg isn't mounted correct and you aren't allowed to fix it...

[pearl elk]

software is licensed though, you dont license a chair... Well I suppose you could lease one in which case you arnt actually allowed to fix it

you could even be liable if you fix it incorrectly and someone falls off it

not sure I agree with how it all works but thats how the cookie crumbles

[celest musk]

then they should make cloud software, which they are doing now

[fluid bloom]

I can license you a chair

[pearl elk]

all I want to do is post about stuff I find from extracted game files that weren't in the final game. xD I get concerned that that might wrong though. I just find it fascinating!

[pearl elk]

well you dont have to use the word extracted, just say you did some data mining and came up with the info

words like rip and extracted tend to have negative connotations associated with them

[celest musk]

analysed is a positive word

[ancient ingot]

oo you a ninja 🥷

[median wraith]

that's for the forums or where you get it ?

[rare sparrow]

The online learning portal

But completing it also means I get a Mystery Box of Unreal Engine Swag

[median wraith]

that counts as something for work or so ?

ala Unity ones ?

[median wraith]

they send you a physical one ?

[foggy path]

Have you not received the email about it Hevedy

If you complete the things for this challenge they send you a swag box which is worth like 100 bucks based on the legalese in the terms

there is a tshirt in it at least based on the fact they asked for a tshirt size :P

[rare sparrow]

But if you didn't register for it already, then it's too late

[foggy path]

Was it set up like that? I thought it was just a time limit on the actual challenge

[median wraith]

oh no

yeah I just noticed cannot be accessed anymore

[rare sparrow]

Had to sign up before 11:59PM October 11th

[median wraith]

whats the course about ? like is real basic or ?

[rare sparrow]

It was pretty basic imo. Basically just going over how to use blueprints

[median wraith]

missed opportunity then

never had any epic swag

[rare sparrow]

My guess for why we had to sign up beforehand is so they know how many shirts and stuff they need to order or something like that

[foggy path]

Yeah sounds likely

I was on the edge between M or L... because if it's an american L size it could be too big

but if it's the wrong size M then it's too small, so I chose L

:P

[median wraith]

well I don't know what should be my size either XD

[foggy path]

I just picked up the nearest t shirt laying around that I know fits well

lol

[median wraith]

this courses are on UE4 or UE5 ?

[foggy path]

regular UE4 stuff

it was super basic BP things

[median wraith]

OH IT'S JUST I spotted one for ray tracing and such

and was wondering

it feels kinda bad they still don't support ray tracing gpu for the GPU baker for stationary or so

I wanted to have a house with dynamic rooms illumination

but with the baked light not sure how it can look when you disable the light at all

[foggy path]

You'd need to use dynamic lights I think

or lighting scenarios

dynamic lights don't look so great, lighting scenarios seem annoying to set up

:P

and not even sure how lighting scenarios would work if you had say several rooms which could have their lights individually toggled

[carmine frigate]

i only liked a few Tshirts from epic that ive seen, most are just too full

[foggy path]

https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Sign-of-Evil-by-GameEnjoyer/86356226.1YYVU how bout this one

[carmine frigate]

never 😛

[median wraith]

yeah none of both cover my problem I think

dynamic light is too mediocre

maybe end using the probes

[foggy path]

Yeah, dynamic lights look kinda meh but I have no idea how else you'd do it tbh

we use dynamic in king of tapes at least for time being because neither of us has any clue how to do it any better

[carmine frigate]

Im usin an epic games mousepad, but i had to pay for it 😛

[median wraith]

well in your case the level is dynamic, mine isn't so can use the IBL system

🤔

and still won't looks good if there is an outdoor

[carmine frigate]

should have bought a few more cuz they were kinda cheap and nice and this1 is gettin a bit messed up

[zinc matrix]

@foggy path here yes

[foggy path]

what about all the millions of italians who took the vaccine and didn't go to the hospital :P

[median wraith]

here is a good amount of people dying and going into the hospital despite they had the 2 dosis, they claimed it was effective for 1 year cycle

not turns out isn't effective past 2-3months and want to put another 3

@foggy path in Italy the virus charge is lower from an year but tv and media still terrorizing peoples

And censuring the riots

[foggy path]

72% of italians have been vaccinated

[unborn lotus]

@zinc matrix https://youtu.be/Avv0fek2UVA?t=899 you should watch this part where people are dying suffocating while audio plays taken from vaccine and green passes protests. we had a super low rate too, and vaccination stopped, and now deaths are worse than ever

[foggy path]

I think all these people are just afraid of needles

Little babies afraid of a little prick

[zinc matrix]

@foggy path yoire just stupid Man, Im taking seriously if u want to be an asshole please Leave

Inform youself whats happening in those countries, also if you are vacinated you should not care to be infected

which you don't seem to get

Amazing how many people dont actually understand facism

If they were educated well enough on the topic many would be shocked to realise which side of the fence theyre actually on

[foggy path]

it's just a flu!

[pearl elk]

pretty sure there are laws against killing people but aye facism, I should be able to kill who ever I want

I challenge you to a duel pew pew

how come I have to get a flu vaccine every year, its a conspiracy by doctors to keep big pharma in business

[ancient ingot]

People are stupid

Getting my jab later in the week, wanted to make sure all the at risk people had their doses first. Australia has bigger problems than lockdowns, the consistency of policy from Governments in recent times is shocking

If they'd taken it serious to begin with they woulda been prepared but nope, blind leading the blind so they have no clue which direction to go. If they'd just pick one and stick to it then it wouldnt be so problematic

Vaccines are a way to inject nanomachines, all according to the Patriots' plan.

well ppl would sell their mother to a dogfood company if they offer enough money.. this is where the massive distrust comes from

vaccines are not created to help ppl but to make tons and tons of cash

[pearl elk]

Well you dont get into vaccines as a Dr for the money, you get into plastic surgery

[carmine frigate]

doesnt matter why he got into it, unless you can cough up 5mil for a spectrometer you gunna be working in some1 else his lab

a programmer can buy a pc and start programming, biotech you cant

[ancient ingot]

i have a much cheaper spectrometer!

[pearl elk]

Big assumption to think all Drs are crooked tbh

[ancient ingot]

its connected to my Telecscope though

[carmine frigate]

lol im saying every1 is crooked

not just Drs

[pearl elk]

Sure big corporations can sway some

But not everyone

Im of the opinion not everyone can be bought

[carmine frigate]

im sure the vaccines are safe enough tho, this can be checked and tested

[ancient ingot]

let me tell you a true story, there is a neurosurgeon in florida that is also a world leading spine surgeon, he developed a laser disk repair procedure to fix herniated discs, and you know why noone else will do it? not enough money, more money in conventional surgery like i had using rods and screws that cost thousands of $$, its crazy, but another example of money over patient care, his surgery is a 7mm incision, outpatient surgery conventional fusion, 6 inch scar, destroys muscle and soft tissue, 12 month recovery.

[pearl elk]

Well thats why we have universal healthcare here so those new solutions are cost effective. Corporations clearly have a big impact on the way the US functions

[ancient ingot]

yup, fuck being a u.s patient

[pearl elk]

When I fucked the disc in my neck I paid nothing for treatment, even the MRI was free

Mind you I didnt have an operation, if they did any sort of fusion Id have to pay some of the cost

[median wraith]

Wait this is new

that's from the 4.27 ?

[ancient ingot]

oh dam, everything is free here, but not 100% guaranteed to get the best care

@median wraith think so ?

[pearl elk]

Our healthcare even has cool preventative measures build in. Eg if you have high cholesterol they'll give you free treatment with the knowledge you may cost more money if left to get seriously ill

Thats why smokers got hit with heavy taxes, it wasnt smoking or their choice that was the problem. It was the only solution that worked for the healthcare costs

[carmine frigate]

i think the tax on smokes here is mostly used for anti smoking campains

thats allright, if you would follow the money it wil prolly show its not spend in the most optimal ways tho 😛

my guess would be 90% overhead

[pearl elk]

The assumption tends to be the private sector is more efficient because companies want to minimise overheads but I'll bet the outsourcing costs end up being similar cuz of all the added middle management

[fluid bloom]

why is this so cheap? 🤔 https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/widget-studio

[cursive crypt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe you are expensive.

[foggy path]

I see that too does not allow changing the default scrollbar :P

They've made it so freaking complicated to do that even though there's a slate scrollbar class but I don't even know if it's really exposed anywhere...

[celest musk]

why would one use it in the first place? looks like it doesn't provide much over the default widgets, except some styling (only the grouping looks like its a bit of effort to get done on your own)

also only supporting windows

and looks like it's sideproduct of another project, so they probably thought "why not make some bucks with it" 😄

[foggy path]

It seems handy if you want a nice UI

it certainly looks more modern than the builtin widgets

[celest musk]

yea it looks neat, and if you dont want to bother with UMG much and only target Windows it looks like a decent choice

[foggy path]

It's kinda annoying to do this in UMG anyway, unless you do it in C++

[celest musk]

depends on the widget

[foggy path]

Say you wanted to do a button which somehow affects the slot in it and now you have to re-add every damn property into your extended-button

[celest musk]

yea, that's indeed annoying

[foggy path]

iirc if you do this in C++ you can just extend the class and hey presto

:)

[celest musk]

i guess the button already has something like a named slot which you can just expose then

[foggy path]

Well with most widgets you can just override RebuildWidget in your extended class and even do completely new things with the structure

it might just require you to copypaste the original RebuildWidget code into your class because of how SNew works, but it's not too bad I guess

[fluid bloom]

oh you

[cursive crypt]

yep

A question to US citizens, what do you guys think about Amazon being rival to Steam? Charts show Prime reduced Netflix usage dramatically in US but in Europe it didn't* do much. I'm wondering if they can succesfully create a rival market in US to Steam. Like how xbox mostly used in US but not so popular around Europe as PlayStation

[foggy path]

The reason why Prime is more popular in US is pretty obvious

You barely have any kind of service from Amazon in EU

US Amazon Prime delivers stuff to you sometimes in under a day

so if you also get Prime Video with that service the benefit is quite clear I think

[timber viper]

Hmm, so if that steam-like product of Amazon merged to that system can it be popular too?

[foggy path]

Probably, but it also depends on how you calculate the user counts

Eg. is every Amazon Prime member who also has the Games service a user of the games service or not

[foggy path]

Yeah Amazon ain't gonna do anything consumer friendly or innovative

GOG > all

[unborn lotus]

what about this EGS thing I've heard about

[pearl elk]

The real reason people have prime accounts... books

yanks and their obsession with reality TV

remember when Google released Stadia, yeah no one does 😛

[soft night]

primeaccounts with twitch integration helps too

[carmine frigate]

yea amazon is totally a market taker to steam

the more markets they take the bigger prime gets

Europe has a bunch of laws amazon might not like tho

they want a big networks for all sorts of things, but the world iskinda fragmented

So a dev from ProjectBorealis just told me to add their Copyright on a branch repo I made from ground 2 years ago from where they used my code of the main repository and the main and branch have nothing todo

eye of the temple is absolutely fantastic, I have way too much to say about it, especially since it's solo dev. its so much fun

it must have been a nightmare to design an entire single world puzzler with the requirements of a 2x2m playspace, and the promise that the whip will only be used in the middle-ish of your playspace, to avoid hitting objects in real life. what do you do when you have been designing the level perfectly, then you run into a tiny snag like needing to use the whip at the edge of your playspace, re orient your entire world?? amazing level design

Maybe next time don't assume malice from a simple request?
