[torpid star]

there you have it people and lizard people!

[turbid spindle]

@zinc matrix, :8ball: Cannot predict now.

[torpid star]

hah!

no buts it’s really really good

https://www.10xeditor.com

try it seriously

No

u can just download it

no idea

It’s (2^32 - 1) + 1 unsigned integer good

seriously try this

try it

u should try it as well tank, don’t knock it till you try it. Indexed UE4 + huge monolithic module in about a minute flat

just try it

oh yeah, unreal is one the devs benchmarks

¯_(ツ)_/¯

goto 4

4. try it

nowhere near the speed of 10x, I’m not just suggesting it because it’s new X ide.

It just opens ur existing .slns and compiles through those configs (so msvc)

Here? Impossible

it actually launches VS directly as it doesn’t have a debugger

I mean that’s pretty good as I don’t want a new debugger

that’s okay, not a salesman. I don’t know what you want, all I can tell you is that it’s a breath of fresh air compared to Rider/VS

u guys are being negative Nancys

chin up and try it

Cool cool cool, we gottem.

I’m not an atheist so u can’t checkmate me

hehe

[unreal cedar]

oh man I'm ready for the complaining

I will say I dislike the new notification drawer thing

at least i think it's new

shit i didn't notice, now it's unusable

This did make me sad for the C# projects I'm working on but it's an EAP so not surprising

[mossy nexus]

hmmmm. The 10x guy looks like a composite..

what's going with his hair?

is it 10x fast as well? 😄

[unreal cedar]

not nerdy enough

meh, VS2022 + R# freezes for a while when opening so I see that as on-par with basically everything else

yeah but i can still browse code and shit in rider while it's loading the index or whatever

R# indexing time should be the same, so I'm not sure what the argument is there

literally the same backend

[fresh moon]

[bronze axle]

Hi loungers.

[broken sigil]

👁️

Btw anyone tried the Rider eap version, any annoying bugs?

Debating if I should update or not

[torpid star]

wow I missed out on some major cpp lore there

[unreal cedar]

There's one or two errors I've hit with the IDE open. Nothing that's required restarting or blocked me from doing anything, but I occasionally see the "ide has encountered a non-fatal error" notification. haven't had that in any R4UE builds, so this seems to be a new issue.

[torpid star]

looks like

lol what

[unreal cedar]

oh man you missed a time

[torpid star]

ambitious

so he dietered u and got upset?

[unreal cedar]

4. and then started insulting people

[torpid star]

oh no

Jesus Christ

[unreal cedar]

R4UE had that already

they merged in new stuff from the EAP a few months ago

[broken sigil]

Hm ok, I'll give it a shot

I guess I can have both the current Rider for UE and EAP installed in case EAP has any major issues

[unreal cedar]

Yeah. I haven't had any actual blocking issues yet, just the occasional error popup that seems pretty standard for an EAP.

ye

it's what jetbrains calls all their beta stuff

[broken sigil]

Lol

[unreal cedar]

do you have the unity logo on your hat?

insert joke about new unity logo

[torpid star]

is there any reason to use the merged version?

[unreal cedar]

R4UE isn't getting any more updates

[torpid star]

works fine 4 me

[unreal cedar]

EAP is where it's at until final release

also, R4UE will expire at some point

you're not vs

damn, you got me

[night grove]

He still roams there!

[torpid star]

April first is the day my license expires, hbu people?

[unreal cedar]

i uninstalled R4UE so I can't check

EAP expires March 3rd lol

[night grove]

Actually, using a fork of PMC called RMC

[unreal cedar]

I'm sure they'll have a newer build to replace this one though lol

[night grove]

But still.... not great

LANDSCAPES!!1!

Technically Voxel Plugin is for landscapes and also uses a custom PMC...

[torpid star]

rrocedural static meshes? Hehe

[night grove]

Runtime Mesh Component. It's a basically dead fork that the author no longer supports but has a semi-active discord

I'm on it on the off chance of gleaning info useful for the custom mesh stuff I'm doing

[torpid star]

The runtime FDynamicMesh stuff is great as well, Ryan at Epic has done a wonderful job. Full of nicely written computational geometry stuff

[night grove]

Though... I'm doing my procedural stuff in editor time and rendering the final meshes with StaticMeshComponent

[night grove]

Yeah the DM3 library is awesome

Really can't wait for some of the UE5 improvements on it

I've been back porting some parts to UE 4.27

wat?

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/police-trouble-oh-no-gif-7744617

[torpid star]

Me too! Just not the procedural mesh stuff hehe

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/tommy-wiseau-haimark-the-room-gif-13081919

[night grove]

Color support on current DM3 is not great in UE4.27. I've added better support on some custom converters that resemble the converters in UE5

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-blackish-anthony-anderson-tears-upset-gif-16201550

[night grove]

I lost count

But... that's not difficult

[turbid spindle]

@ionic flame, :8ball: Don't count on it.

[night grove]

Nice

Is the new Real format going to have BP support?

Converting between FVector and the Real format of FVector is kind of a pain

[broken sigil]

Still debating if I like the whole "Real" type stuff

Or not

[night grove]

It's a legacy problem. DM3 is using Real. MeshDescription isn't real yet.

I'm glad I'm learning before it becomes standard

Templates in C++ are syntactically cumbersome

[unreal cedar]

what if i want imaginary numbers

where's my imaginary type, epic

ew, std

[torpid star]

I feel bad about ruining lounge though

at least on cpp we are somewhat on topic

[night grove]

I mean learning on the template wrappers

It is difficult to read the debugger with template types

[unreal cedar]

it's difficult to read the debugger when it doesn't work in either VS or rider

UE5 somehow broke debugging by attaching to existing processes

not sure how, not sure if recent commits fix it

[torpid star]

I come from a managed language background (10 years ago) and always thought that c++ templates were the shit, you get none of the managed overhead of generics but all the compile time goodness

[unreal cedar]

game modules outright won't appear in the VS modules panel if you attach rather than start under debugging

[night grove]

Pretty much the same here. Been C# for about the same time.

Some of it Unity, some of it non-gamedev stuff

[torpid star]

it’s magic once u can get it work right, with a shit ton of sfinae and EnableIf

No u

yeah you’ve told me and it is so

[unreal cedar]

stop telling lies

epic would never use std

[broken sigil]

I asked the hot reload gods to spawn a few for us, they haven't replied yet

[unreal cedar]

i thought it was just deprecated because epic doesn't like atoms

[torpid star]

Nice! C# pretty good still, if you’re not doing hardcore profiling in c++ your better off using a managed language (with a manageable GC that is)

[night grove]

I definitely feel a lot slower working in C++

[torpid star]

same

[night grove]

I get stuck in C++ syntax muckity muck too much

Chocking it up to lack of experience for now

[torpid star]

just buy a few modern c++ books and skim ‘em

[broken sigil]

Last time I touched C# was like 7 years ago 😐

[torpid star]

move constructors and all that

[night grove]

It's more along the lines that syntax isn't quite as intuitive and natural as C#

I always have to look up how to do simple things elsewhere in code

Slows me down a lot

[torpid star]

there’s a bazillion ways of doing everything

[unreal cedar]

no null conditional or null coalescing operator 😦

[torpid star]

yeah that would be nice, espc in ue where you have to be defensive in certain cases

[unreal cedar]

friendship ended with IsValid, Foo?.Bar() is my new best friend.

[night grove]

I ❤️ ?.

Also string interpolation

Though Printf is basically the same thing

U shouldn’t be writing kernel drivers in C

Could be a trip

[unreal cedar]

just write assembly in kernel space. Perfectly secure.

[red pewter]

What else could it be? Just a tertiary website that can search this discord?

[unreal cedar]

realtime chat is very different from forums

[bronze axle]

If only.

That situation has definitely improved, though, thanks to Discord implementing stuff on their end.

[bronze axle]

Nope, the Discord isn't going anywhere.

I mean it's the obvious choice, right?

[unreal cedar]

irc when

[bronze axle]

lol

The #unrealengine IRC was one of the inspirations for Slackers.

Yeah. There's too many nice features like moderation controls and categories.

[deep glen]

I wonder if the skype channel is still being used XD

[bronze axle]

Made with Unreal Engine 5.™️

[deep glen]

(not really affiliated with slackers)

[bronze axle]

Sorry. Guess I should've made it more clear this is an additive update. 🙂

Our identity is changing and the new website will add to what we already have.

[unreal cedar]

I've got it: a second discord.

[red pewter]

Manny gaining sentence?

A slackers-affiliated wiki?

[bronze axle]

Sort of. Just a new name and logo that makes more sense and stops referencing our Slack origins.

[red pewter]

A pyramid scheme where we can sell candles and nail polish?

[unreal cedar]

a second discord that copies chat from the original one but also intersperses dead links from answerhub and the old wiki

[bronze axle]

Only if the candles use nanite and the nail polish is a Niagara fluid sim.

[broken sigil]

we are becoming a type 2 discord civilization on the Kardashev scale

[bronze axle]

You can still remain slackers in your heart.

Especially those of you who've been with us since the Slack days.

Professional slackers.

You guys don't mess around here.

[unreal cedar]

only on wednesdays

[zinc matrix]

I'd answer questions if they weren't so stupid half the time

[unreal cedar]

no it'll be #cpp

[red pewter]

Complete utilization of all Tuesday energy

[zinc matrix]

I'm just that good at UE guys

[pearl elk]

if lounge then do cpp

[broken sigil]

Type 2 has debuggers and it is able to harness the full energy of its and neighboring servers

[zinc matrix]

neighbouring servers

uh oh

[bronze axle]

No second Discord server.

Not for us.

[broken sigil]

yeah I don't know where I'm going with this btw

[bronze axle]

Rider for Discord. The obvious next step.

[pearl elk]

so we are now Unreal Riders not Slackers cuz we levelled up

Shit that's pretty good.

just bought this comment

surely the dark theme nft is worth more

[bronze axle]

I guess I should say it: there will be no NFTs or crypto whatevers.

[broken sigil]

People really do use Discord's white theme 👀
I was convinced those people are a myth from ancient times

[unreal cedar]

this is mine now

that's how it works, right?

[bronze axle]

I'm in the business of providing Unreal resources that are free to access and free from advertising.

[bronze axle]

It's more popular than you'd think.

It's just easy to meme about.

[turbid spindle]

@ionic flame, :8ball: Without a doubt.

[verbal junco]

RIP, I was ready to invest in SlackerToken

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/hack-the-planet-gif-15624885

[unreal cedar]

it's the same as 1.0 but it says 2.0

semver be damned

[verbal junco]

aren't we talking about web 3.0?

[unreal cedar]

manny 2.0 requires web 4.0

[broken sigil]

As someone who has absolutely everything set to dark themes (if available) I feel like a white discord theme would burn my eyes 😅

[verbal junco]

whatever happened to web 2.0?

[pearl elk]

manny 2.0 will have less features, this is the way

[bronze axle]

Hm.

[unreal cedar]

you put less features in a flashier (nee flatter) skin. That's how all the cool tech companies do it.

[bronze axle]

Manny 2.0 will launch soon, but probably not the same day as the website.

[bronze axle]

Thank goodness I don't work for a cool tech company.

[unreal cedar]

lol

[pearl elk]

they wont let me in discord at work 😭

I think its cuz they know about you lot hehe

I only get access to a half baked version of teams which has no cloud support

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/nods-yes-not-wrong-its-true-story-valid-point-gif-14782869

[bronze axle]

Don't worry. No forums.

More like a blog, a newsletter, helpful resources, and some other stuff you might not see coming.

Tarp secret.

[verbal junco]

also might be worth making a statement on cryptocurrency association since we're now entering that era

[bronze axle]

Not sure if this excites you guys like it does me, but: the site will also use privacy-friendly analytics, so you will never see an annoying cookie banner.

[verbal junco]

website do not excite me, no

[foggy path]

GDPR doesn't require cookie banners, a large majority of cookie banners are infact illegal under GDPR, including Google's :P

[bronze axle]

That's hilarious.

[red pewter]

Oh...

I just copied one online for my site

[pearl elk]

gah I hate popups

[bronze axle]

@broken sigil This is the best light mode meme I've seen. It's loud so turn the volume down a bit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8MX02wBWXA

[bronze axle]

Me, too.

[zinc matrix]

There's nothing wrong with light themes in general, discord just does an awful job at it

[bronze axle]

The worst sites are the ones that wait until you've been reading for 10 seconds, then cover the article with a pop up asking you to subscribe or buy something.

[bronze axle]

I think Discord's newer light theme is nice. Their original one was very bad, though.

[zinc matrix]

there's a new one

let me try

[pearl elk]

I hate those little autoplay videos

[bronze axle]

Ugh, yes.

[zinc matrix]

hmm

[bronze axle]

Well, new as in the past year or two. Let's go with "recent".

[zinc matrix]

Still feels

off

[bronze axle]

To be fair, doing light mode in a UI this complex and colorful is difficult.

[zinc matrix]

Yeah

[bronze axle]

I think it's a significant improvement, though.

Well I guess now it's up to me to tease little tidbits of the new stuff up until launch.

I will say: I'm now totally sold on using Figma for web design.

[zinc matrix]

I've tried figma

It's pretty good

I look forward to seeing what you come up with though

[bronze axle]

I'm excited to launch it.

[broken sigil]

Lol that's good 😄

[bronze axle]

One of my fav things about Figma: it's really easy to design something like a Discord server icon. You can turn anything into a component, then instances of that component mirror changes made to the original.

So I turned the icon into a component, set up a Discord screenshot next to it, dragged out an instance of the icon and shrank it down to match a server icon in the screenshot.

Now when I change the icon, I see what it would really look like on Discord, in real time.

[deep glen]

happy birthday @bronze axle

It's the birthday of pfist?

For me it's tomorrow.

February 5 is my birthday.

[bronze axle]

[zinc matrix]

I want to buy a domain, should I buy the hosting plan and domain with the same company?

[tulip orbit]

easier to manage, but not a necessity

[tulip orbit]

happy bday. doing anything special or just hangin with us?

[bronze axle]

Spending time with family, playing games, girlfriend's making my favorite foods. I like a chill birthday. 🙂

I will probably pop in here at some point, too.

[tulip orbit]

nice

I try not to celebrate my own birthdays, my birth isnt anything to celebrate 😉

[bronze axle]

I think everyone's is worth celebrating. 😄

You made it another year, and life can be pretty amazing.

Anyone else played Tormented Souls?

[tulip orbit]

"survived" and I wouldnt know

I am a tormented soul

[bronze axle]

I just started it last night. Great game if you've been itching for PS2 era survival horror nostalgia. Loving it so far.

I second this. I recommend buying the domain separately. Then you can change where the site is hosted anytime and just point the domain to a new IP.

I recently switched all my domains from Hover to Cloudflare. Hover has great technical support so I'll miss them, but my annual costs were cut in half on Cloudflare. Hard to resist such a proposition.

I already use them for other stuff anyway so I at that price I had to give it a shot. So far so good.

[red pewter]

Don't forget the https cert stuff

[unreal cedar]

or just use letsencrypt for certs

why pay for a cert lol

[tulip orbit]

https://preview.redd.it/hk2fyubzx5q01.jpg?auto=webp&s=fdf633aa11c0d0c0eb100fd8df51045f9d4aeb2e

I haven't had Certs in forever.

[tulip orbit]

me neither 😄

[red pewter]

finally IT certification I can afford

[deep copper]

i read that as ceritus and thought that sounds like your name, i would say i have some great reading skills lol

[zinc matrix]

I hate 2FA

discord asking me for digits to delete a server where it is just me 😂

[deep copper]

i mean, you could be using it to store something important and someone else could have tried deleting it

[zinc matrix]

Oh well more security = more hassle

Also why does it need a reason as to why I deleted a server

[deep copper]

reason?

[zinc matrix]

Yeah it asks "y u delete server?"

[deep copper]

can't you type literally anything in it?

[zinc matrix]

Fair point, given how many run rampant

[zinc matrix]

I did

[deep copper]

i don't see it stopping a bot

haha yes, that would be fair enough

okay so it has options to choose from as reasons, i wonder what they will do since it seems like they are already aware of the reasons, it's probably to figure out why most servers get removed and change the way they store them i guess

yeah i took all that time to find where the delete button was

[pearl elk]

Poor bots being discriminated against, they cant help the way they were born

We should nuture these baby bots so they grow to become valuable members of society

[deep copper]

!8ball do you agree

@deep copper, :8ball: Signs point to yes.

ah another fellow recent joiner

[deep copper]

yes, since pfist said discord server will stay, atleast making a new account wasn't a waste for me

[red pewter]

it's just going to be a separate resource page, not a replacement

in case anyone is unclear on that

(from my interpretation)

[pearl elk]

hmm this PSN thing doesnt seem to work, shouldnt it show me in God of War

[turbid spindle]

@brisk ether, :8ball: Very doubtful.

[knotty skiff]

!8ball you suck!

[turbid spindle]

@knotty skiff, :8ball: Yes.

[knotty skiff]

:(

[deep copper]

curious what pfist would come up with

that's quite a big question for a bot

[deep glen]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3ZKa_TVLQk

[zinc matrix]

I don't think this is what they mean when they say to make a game with blueprints

[deep copper]

haha that's so interesting to watch

can't wait for someone to make that snake eating dot thing with it

as a grid like thing that can be arranged however, it has way too many possibilities

[quasi mantle]

Better than getting scammed for Nitro and be nuisance for everyone.

[deep copper]

is nitro even worth the purchase?

i guess the bigger file upload size can be worth it a bit

[red pewter]

I like the extra emotes but it doesn't seem like it was worth it

I never really use the extra data

[deep copper]

i guess if it was a one time purchase it would be much better for emotes, because occasionally, they do come in handy for the extra, punch?

[red pewter]

iirc there is a legacy cheaper version with less perks

[deep copper]

oh yeah

[deep glen]

only if you stream a lot, and even then its (imho) too expensive.

[deep copper]

i assume discord follows some "few pay for all" kind of strategy then

[deep copper]

because i have seen you always "LIVE" in the vc, so that's a lot of streaming and for you to say that's expensive is saying something

[zinc matrix]

What about allowing owners of servers to pay to get data on their users

[deep glen]

50 bucks just to stream on 4k/60fps is a bit overkill

[deep copper]

i don't use twitch but does that allow 4k/60 for less?

[zinc matrix]

"this server uses cookies"

[deep copper]

or yt, i think that also streams

[deep glen]

even free users can stream on that res, or at least when I still streamed there.

[deep copper]

pfist pays for nearly 70k users? count me in

[deep copper]

curious, is streaming in discord easier? why do you not use others?

[deep glen]

mainly to hang with the regulars and watch them stream as well.

and a tiny bit of moderation :p

ah, gtg

[deep copper]

ah, alright, twitch definitely won't mutli user that

alright, cya, enjoy your day!

[zinc matrix]

Take care

[thick belfry]

Silly too that servers don't get anything for extra boosts

They could do more with that

[deep copper]

i would say you get more emotes but this server didn't even use up the default 50 emote limit

also is that manny in your pfp?

!8ball manny you are famous

[turbid spindle]

@deep copper, :8ball: Cannot predict now.

[deep copper]

don't be so humble

"no question is stupid"

"if it has time for a break it has time for work"

[turbid spindle]

@zinc matrix, :8ball: Most likely.

[verbal junco]

!8ball do you get asked stupid questions?

[turbid spindle]

@verbal junco, :8ball: Better not tell you now.

[verbal junco]

manny, keeper of secrets

[cursive crypt]

Junkie

[deep copper]

manny has probably seen everything everywhere

but the fact that we don't get to see Manny's everything is a bit frustrating

[tulip orbit]

you want to see manny's everything? ....getting a little too affectionate there 😉

[deep copper]

haha

!8ball manny show us everything

[turbid spindle]

@deep copper, :8ball: Better not tell you now.

!8ball give nft

[turbid spindle]

@deep copper, :8ball: Cannot predict now.

[deep copper]

well yeah it's nft

[quasi mantle]

!8ball Is NFT bad for humanity?

[turbid spindle]

@quasi mantle, :8ball: It is decidedly so.

[deep copper]

!8ball can i become an nft?

[turbid spindle]

@deep copper, :8ball: Don't count on it.

[deep copper]

!8ball can i count on you?

[turbid spindle]

@deep copper, :8ball: My reply is no.

@brisk ether, :8ball: Better not tell you now.

@deep copper, :8ball: Cannot predict now.

!8ball are you tired?

[turbid spindle]

@deep copper, :8ball: Very doubtful.

[quasi mantle]

!8ball Is NFT a giant scam?

[turbid spindle]

@quasi mantle, :8ball: It is decidedly so.

[quasi mantle]

Even Manny knows what's going on 😏

[deep copper]

manny knows 😏

just set your "ask" to $999999

or whatever that was

[foggy path]

Something something a system to scam money out of people with more money than sense

[verbal junco]

nevermind that, just consider how easy this is for criminals to launder money through

[deep glen]

https://i.gyazo.com/5e1a8783d5f405a3e9c8d2662ed61a3a.png apparently you can change avatars on the forums again.

[deep copper]

that's nice

[foggy path]

It's not so straightforward since crypto transactions can be traced... but yeah, if the criminal in question knows what they're doing, then it does it make it easier

Many of them however don't :D

[deep glen]

https://web3isgoinggreat.com/

[cursive crypt]

This is so purple, I almost reported you.

[deep glen]

list of scams, hacks, and rips related to nft and such

ikr

[foggy path]

Wormhole apparently managed to pay everyone back

Basically someone else paid them, they didn't get their cryptos back :P

ESL still seems to be going full-steam with their NFT related things

They tweeted about it recently and didn't seem like they were getting much flak for it

[deep glen]

im at 5 clients refused due to them working on nft games.

one of them offered to pay in eth

<_<

[mossy nexus]

😄

[verbal junco]

it's pointless because you can have any number of burner accounts

and you can't link a person to an account

[deep copper]

didn't a few crypto advertise themselves as untraceable?

[foggy path]

Sure, but converting to fiat generally leaves a trace

[verbal junco]

none of crypto is truly traceable

[verbal junco]

by that time the money has been laundered already

they start with e.g. USD drug money. convert to crypto. convert back. "oh it's just capital gains"

[foggy path]

Yeah as I said it does make it easier to do but most criminals using crypto still don't actually know how to do it without being traceable

[verbal junco]

yep

[foggy path]

Converting drug money to crypto and then back doesn't really do shit for laundering it, crypto doesn't just materialize from thin air

[verbal junco]

it kind of does

[foggy path]

Not unless you run some kind of mining farm which also doesn't materialize out of thin air with no investment

[verbal junco]

you can make crypto currency for very little

just make a new token

done

or buy NFTs

and then sell them again

[foggy path]

I'm not really sure how buying and selling NFT's does anything different. You still need to somehow buy the NFT with your drug money

[carmine frigate]

mwah i doubt much drugmoney is goin to crypto... those ppl buy clubs and cafes and stuff

cryto is prolly bein pushed by banks that get bailed if it all goes to shit anyways

[deep copper]

actually, has anyone here used nft or crypto ?

[quasi mantle]

Web3 is just 21st century meltdown

[quasi mantle]

Nope. I'm (maybe too) sceptical with the whole NFT.

[deep copper]

it just seems like a pyramid scheme to me

you must be rich now

if it's from a long while ago

how much did you spent for it?

[quasi mantle]

Because it is.

[deep copper]

that's quite a decent gain ig

[quasi mantle]

NFT is basically MLM all over again.

[deep copper]

mlm?

MLM*

[quasi mantle]

Multi-level Marketing

[deep copper]

so you are keeping it?

[foggy path]

I have invested in crypto yeah but no nft's

[deep copper]

aight, heading to google

[deep copper]

ah okay it's just a shorthand for pyramid scheme ig

[deep copper]

did you profit?

[foggy path]

Yeah

[deep copper]

lol just be sure it doesn't crashes first, you will lose 10-20$

[foggy path]

I more than 5x'd my initial investment

[deep copper]

oh

[foggy path]

Pure luck I should add

Most crypto investors won't admit it was pure luck

lol

[deep copper]

high risk high return in action

[quasi mantle]

If I remember correctly, there was one person in this server saying play to earn is "the future of gaming", and then we get so sceptical on it.

the sceptics were right

[deep copper]

play to earn will never succeed if games are plain bad

[quasi mantle]

Play to Earn, just like Multi Level Marketing, which is Get Rich Quick scheme, is destined to fail anyway.

[deep copper]

if they were good, only those who come first can manage something, then again it will become referral based earning and pure pyramid scheme again, individuals won't gain anything

[quasi mantle]

Otherwise the entire world will suffer the same fate as Venezuela.

[deep copper]

yeah

it's just sad to see people actually have faith in these

it takes away the fun from games, besides, aren't pro esports players earning okay? (idk actually)

[foggy path]

I still think one of the reason people get so fucking into crypto is because they see it as a modern day gold rush except they can do it from the comfort of their homes

and also because many see their financial future as so bleak that only a miracle (like crypto!) would let them have a decent life

Of course you will never get anyone to actually admit this is the case lol

[deep copper]

it does helps right now but crypto is way too, risky

[quasi mantle]

Well, who doesn't want the premise of getting rich from doing (seemingly) nothing? The sceptics were just "jealous", so they say.

[foggy path]

Yeah

I had lots of dogecoins that I mined in 2014 for shits and giggles

But that was also just pure luck lol

I assumed they would never be worth anything but a cup of coffee tops

[deep copper]

haha, you got lucky i guess

[quasi mantle]

I'm inclined to think those who are less lucky were mining in a loss, as they'd need to pay higher bills and expensive equipment to mine, just to turn it into e-waste, rinse and repeat.

[deep copper]

oh yeah, didn't prices of those components get high?

and still are

and out of stock

[foggy path]

More or less

I think the prices are normalizing but they're still pretty bad in places

and pretty sure nvidia said they're going to increase prices across the board anyway

[deep copper]

is nvidia accepting payment in crypto ?

[quasi mantle]

It would be funny if they don't. Jensen Huang need more stock of leather jackets after all.

[deep copper]

peta would be sad

[mossy nexus]

evil peta

[deep copper]

!8ball evil peta

[turbid spindle]

@deep copper, :8ball: Signs point to yes.

[quasi mantle]

Did PETA ever actually go after him for leather jackets?

[deep copper]

probably never

haha

[quasi mantle]

Their actions are so ridiculous, PETA going after Jensen Huang for sporting leather jackets won't be out of character for them.

[mossy nexus]

claim to save animals lives, and put down more animals than anyone else.

[deep copper]

uhm "peta jensen huang" in google brings up nsfw

so i am guessing they didn't went for him ever

[deep copper]

they are making people aware about how much damage humans do to animals by doing it

100x more

or worse

[quasi mantle]

I won't be surprised if they actually commit war crime against other humans. I've seen worst things from extremist vegans.

[deep copper]

didn't they make a jacket out of human skin once?

okay it's an online store so, so probably not just "once"

[quasi mantle]

From what I've seen, they're fake stuff just to fearmonger.

[signal citrus]

Skin is already dead tissue afaik

[quasi mantle]

And if it's an online store, it's probably scam, as I have yet to see someone from general public actually wore one on Reddit

[deep copper]

so we are all covered with some corpse?

[signal citrus]

Just like hair yes

[deep copper]

it must be, because it should have been in circulation by now, specially during Halloween

ah okay PETA launches fake store to promote “human leather goods” and blames Urban Outfitters

"fake store"

[quasi mantle]

I won't be surprised if they actually siphon money out of the fake store with no refunds.

[deep copper]

with some terms and conditions like "money goes to support animals"

[quasi mantle]

Scams in the name of a (extremism) cause isn't a new thing.

[deep copper]

does anyone actually believe in peta?

i wonder of people donate, let's see

[quasi mantle]

I'm sure someone actually believe them.

The world is a crazy place after all

[deep copper]

This charity's score is 75.71, earning it a 2-Star rating. Charity Navigator believes donors can "Give with Confidence" to charities with 3- and 4-Star ratings.

and from peta's site Operating Expense Allocation. PETA is a nonprofit, tax exempt 501(c)(3) corporation funded almost exclusively by the contributions of our members.

..yes

[deep copper]

i won't be surprised, but i am just curious if it's enough to run an organisation as active and weird as peta that spends funds quite badly

https://www.peta.org/about-peta/learn-about-peta/financial-report/

it also has merchandise sales, royalties, interests etc in that

[celest cradle]

@zinc matrix how was that not related? He literlly said he's getting into engine programming, and that server is about that

as opposed to asking such questions in an unreal server

the mods didn't say anything to me, you did

Hey everyone, I'm looking for advice.

I've been trying to help my brother Ryan (CS/Digital Art double major at UF) find a summer internship as an artist/technical artist/animator in a game development company and I'd love advice on where to look. We've been doing the usual LinkedIn hustle + applications. Here's his ArtStation if anyone is interested https://www.artstation.com/ryan_menke. Any recommendations on places to look/hang out in search of a summer internship?

[cursive crypt]

#career-chat would be better place I believe.

[frank falcon]

Awesome, will post there. Thank you @cursive crypt

[cursive crypt]

There are also some hiring channels and stuff #introductions , but first ask on there. Someone might give another idea.

[frank falcon]

Yep read through the hiring channels but they mostly looked like listings rather than general advice/chat. Appreciate the direction. Thanks!

[cursive crypt]

Am I wrong, but github still can't sync forks 🤔 New branches are ignored.

Never tried that one either. CLI for life.

@zinc matrix, :8ball: It is decidedly so.

He tries, but he has no eyes.

I would argue that Discord is indeed a social media platform. People congregate in communities where they share ideas and information.

In theory anyone can access this place anyway, you just need to look

[bronze axle]

Social media don't need to be open to everyone. They can be private or semi-private and still meet the criteria.

[zinc matrix]

What's an NFT?

[deep copper]

and adobe is quite good at providing intuitive and simple things that can scale in complexity with you, and each software also targets one specific task, not everything is supposed to be done by one software. which also means you need different software subscription for each task and you need to go back and forth sometimes

I mean illegal content tagged under +18

illegal even for that kind of sites

[deep copper]

i don't want to comprehend that...

[median wraith]

even moral illegal

[cursive crypt]

Looks like typo.

Itch I think got these nsfw since ages.

I mean since "any age"

[deep copper]

ugh, my brain. imagine looking at that to figure out if it's time to eat

that sounds warm and fuzzy atleast

[cursive crypt]

Wdym?

[deep copper]

i think they meant, wrongly tagging 18+ games as 0+ or something is illegal

idk

[median wraith]

"EVERYTHING in the game is just FICTION! All characters have the LEGAL AGE!"

sure thing

[deep copper]

ah, that

[median wraith]

"it's of legal age guys, just looks young"

line 9

if you have adult content enabled or so

[deep copper]

it's probably like those things they add to avoid legal trouble

also here is the Godot demo and such

[deep copper]

i wonder if someone is making those in ue5 yet

[median wraith]

I don't think we need demos for UE5

Epic demos are usually top notch

I am working on a metaverse project and I think I can host it on steam but figured it would be easier to just ask someone that has already done.

[mossy nexus]

Don't do a VR version that's just silly. Do a AR version and use real people as NPCs

[deep copper]

hmm, not sure who has done that here, your best bet is to check out channels #work-in-progress #released etc to see completed works and see if anything is similar and fine people, or ask around in #ue4-general or some other channel where you think it sounds more related

because that question would probably get buried here

[vestal shard]

If you all have youtube channels I can just subscribe.

Thank you I am new to discord as well. I appreciate you.

[mossy nexus]

In lounge we tend not to take ourselves too seriously, a break from the norms

[deep copper]

oh, then check out #rules and #more-resources as well

so if a person is playing at night, the game is at night,

||and then make quests that can only be completed at certain times of the day/night||

[left granite]

make that an achievement

[broken sigil]

That would mean people like me would only ever see what the game looks at night 😅

[tulip orbit]

some missions must be completed during the day 😄

[cursive crypt]

Schedule timers. Each 30 minutes tell the player to pee and then crash the game.

[deep copper]

and drink water

[mossy nexus]

Careful. dihydrogen monoxide is dangerous.

[ocean parcel]

hi gang

[knotty skiff]

I have no idea why I made this shitty edit into a poster cover for no reason

[ocean parcel]

What is that?

Halo?

[knotty skiff]

No

A shooter stuff set in climate change

[deep copper]

then, i will have you instead <3

that's a joke, don't block me, or report

[deep copper]

that's a bit too warm of a climate

[verbal junco]

I love the thinking too: "climate change is happening. let's kill each other"

[deep copper]

"if no one knows it's happening, it probably isn't"

[cursive crypt]

Replace first sentence with whatever.

No, in fact it is: You go kill that guy, or we will kill you.

[verbal junco]

"we make a promise to kill you before climate change does"

[deep copper]

so caring!

[verbal junco]

today's choice of death: heatstroke or bullet

[deep copper]

haha, i would pick the bullet, sounds thrilling

[ashen rover]

help! boss wants reflections everywhere, always, "no reflections i need reflectionz!!". I keep changing roughness values to insane figures just to make everything wet for him. I can't do this anymore! 😆

[verbal junco]

can't wait for the 40 page narrative

[zinc matrix]

hey guys! I just graduated from university and i am looking to build and publish a passion project. I need 1 unreal engine developer for this passion project. Anyone interested?

[deep copper]

don't slip!

[verbal junco]

no

[deep copper]

#volunteer-projects ?

[zinc matrix]

I have already developed a small and basic idea along with logic that have been designed.

[zinc matrix]

Ooh sorry.

[zinc matrix]

I remember doing that and I got some Texture Pool Over Budget errors on UE.

[deep copper]

reflection in realtime is quite costly yeah, if too much

[timber viper]

Arent you suppose to place reflection sphere instead, with some fancy parameters enabled in lightning settings in meshes 🤔

maybe your boss is trolling you..
lol 😅

[mossy nexus]

roughness, metalness , specularness 😄

[cursive crypt]

glosiness

[timber viper]

Wishlist to god for next xmas: inline blueprint graph editing 🥺

[foggy path]

Inline? How would that even work?

[cursive crypt]

Maybe with some animation effect, up to a certain windowed size, w/o titlebars and stuff.

Everything is possible.

... screw it. I'm having a beer after long day of work.

[ocean parcel]

a relative just gave me a new phone. she also gave me a new sim card. i have no idea about phones, do i use the new sim card or do i use the one from my old phone?

[cursive crypt]

Right 👍

[cursive crypt]

A sim-card is an account, phone number. Therefore it is up to you what to do with that account.

You can put it in a soup.

Sell it, don't use it. Use it.

[deep copper]

do you trust that person? if not, don't use that sim

is it an active sim?

[ocean parcel]

Oh so if I want my old number still, I need to use my old SIM? plus it's on a different network so I wasn't sure how the pricing thing works lol. would i have to pay a new price or what, etc lol.

it's so confusing.

[ocean parcel]

Well, it's still in it's hard case thing.

like where you have to pop it out, etc, so it seems brand new and, i assume, not activated.

[deep copper]

doesn't it get better the older it is?

usually a sim card is issued by the provider and is often activated

be careful it's not something post paid, you might have a huge thing to pay later on

and yeah, for old number use old sim

[ocean parcel]

Ahh, maybe I should just use my old one then. I'm just concerned the relative is going to have to pay for it even though she's not using it lmao.

[deep copper]

a sim card is such a weird thing to give lol

[ocean parcel]

yeah lol, she said i can use it if i want as it's brand new but i don't have to. i wasn't sure how it works.

[deep copper]

if you are unsure of it, try asking that person for more details

[ocean parcel]

right now i'm just trying to remove the phone from the leather case it's in, though i swear it's like it's been superglued into it.

it's similar to this case

[deep copper]

because a sim card means monthly payment for a number under a certain plan by a certain provider

[ocean parcel]

yeah, that's what i thought! i thought 'hm, i'd either have to cancel my old plan to switch to this new network.... which.... i don't have an account for so who the heck is paying for it.'

[deep copper]

it says it has magnets

[ocean parcel]

yeah, that's what i thought but i think they must've superglued the phone into it or something. i just tried pulling it really hard and the leather ripped off.

[deep copper]

i would suggest don't use that one, because the other people with your number won't be able to reach your new number anymore unless you give it

[deep copper]

yikes

[ocean parcel]

yeah, i'll use my old one. not that i use phones anyway. xD

OH WAIT, i'm being an idiot.

there's a plastic case that is meant to be superglued into it, it seems and i'm meant to take the phone out of this plastic case.

[deep copper]

that's quite confusing

[ocean parcel]

yeah, didn't realise that was separate, thought it was part of the phone.

[deep copper]

well, no wonder you are feeling confused

i always thought your pfp was a dwarf or something, and that means drinks

[ocean parcel]

i wonder if blocked numbers transferred over.

[deep copper]

maybe not, be careful

[ocean parcel]

I discovered accidentally a few days ago that messages from blocked numbers actually still get through to your phone, they're just put into a different secret section.

that was a trippy experience.

[deep copper]

i have never blocked any number before so idk yet

will watch out for that

your pfp is Canadian?

[thick belfry]

Wtf... I was recommended a speech of Hitler with korean subtitles and all the comments are korean and they're all saying super white nationalidyic stuff

Its been watched 100k times with 1300 comments

The channel has 40k subs

I reported it

But how is this a thing

[deep glen]

you'd be amazed/shocked by how much weird crap there is on yt

[thick belfry]

I know yeah

Youtube for kids is a mess

[timber viper]

Same as instanced UObjects, but you will be able to access it's BP graph

[cursive crypt]

What?

[timber viper]

My ISP reduced it to half two months ago without telling anything

I'm preparing to sue them soon

Two different worlds lol

[fleet tangle]

Being in the UK, I'm not sure we could get less than TCP over pigeon. Maybe hang some weights on the pigeon?

[fathom wadi]

I upgraded to fibre a couple of years ago, it's been using the whole bandwidth practically non-stop thanks to having a house of 7 people. There's 6 consoles, 3 tablets, 3 pc's and two phones on it. getting my money's worth

[unreal cedar]

My ISP changed their name and has done nothing about their local network hub apparently having no power redundancy.

Might have gigabit, but every time there's the slightest bit of rain or wind their line goes dead for 10 minutes

How does a split second brown out consistently take out their hub every single time.

This takes out the entire area of the (small) city I'm in. So it's their actual network going down.

[deep copper]

ah okay

[deep copper]

imagine being in an internet argument and it goes poof for 10 mins

[unreal cedar]

I don't have to imagine, it's happened too many times over the past few months 😦

I can't live without my internet arguments

[deep copper]

that, sounds really heartbreaking 💔

[unreal cedar]

yesn't me

[deep copper]

i mean, that's why you pay them anyway

[fleet tangle]

I really want to upgrade to gigabit! They're rolling it out around here at some point.

[thorny dock]

They changed their name to avoid the blame or something?

[unreal cedar]

I've been trying to buy a place around here but one of my requirements is that one of the local fiber ISPs actually provides service. Which makes my choices limited. At least I'm not in a rush.

Nah, some sort of consolidation of a bunch of different names operating under the same company

[thorny dock]

Ahh I see

[ocean parcel]

Ugh, God I hate phones.

They're so fricking annoying.

to me they're just a glorified clock and *#£$ alarm.

wait am i allowed to say that?

[fleet tangle]

I'm not sure, clock is a pretty bad word.

[ocean parcel]

unless you take out the l

actually i mean you guys were talking about slavery right, surely I'm allowed to say rape or no?

[fleet tangle]

Damn, I still need to watch this week's DS.

[timber viper]

Is that guy still here lol

[median wraith]

whats going on 👀

[ocean parcel]

What's that supposed to mean?

[fleet tangle]

I'm sure it would depend on the context.

[timber viper]

The guy talking about freeing industry from slavement

[ocean parcel]

OH

sorry I thought you were referring to me LMAO

[timber viper]

Tank saw a non-modularized C++ framework in phone

[median wraith]

wait who is Tanjiro

Help me tank everyone watch anime except me

[fresh moon]

Why?

[fleet tangle]

Dang it, and my friend wants to play DL2 in 10m. THERE IS NO TIME

Anime is fantastic, @median wraith, you should just start.
