Dont believe that easily

it's good to never assume you have mastered something or reached the peak , that way you never stop growing

Not thaaat but yeah I liked it a lot

Gonna start 2nd season today

I can appreciate more Pucky scenes this season 😈

#

I watched 2 OVAs

#

I watched the one explains why Pucky calls Emilia as "Lia" and what is their agreement is about, and other one was happening inside the mansion, everywhere was frozen etc.

Oh boy you're just starting on S2? Have fun.

Speaking of weeb

unreal cedar

not a spoiler

wasn't talking about anything upcoming

return-by-death is just sort of a time travel mechanic though I guess it's never looked at like that

A new report from RBC claims Intel and AMD are set to comply with new sanctions imposed by the United States on sales and exports of specific technologies to Russia in response to its invasion.

Youth and some minority of aged people are against the war because of this

But this is the Putin's war only. It's not russian and ukrainian. Sanctions are received to ordinary people

yeah it probably won't be fine and dandy like nothing ever happened

i have not fallen into such a trap

i used to have an anime-esque picture but was told it was unprofessional and in fairness was in quite bad taste (regarding the origin of it)

@deep copper probably not cos I'm the CTO so they're afraid to say it's fucking weird

whats a cto

scarlet cedar

chief technical officer

like ya boi john carmack

deep copper

ah, no wonder

foggy path

Chief Titty Officer yeeee

scarlet cedar
#

i mean.. id accept that position

foggy path
#

Lol

scarlet cedar
#

@timber viper we got a CTO position available at #pretendevs right?

deep copper
#

and also, let's not forget that most otaku in japenese culture itself are looked down upon sometimes, because it means you waste a lot of time watching this stuff, maybe

timber viper
#

Sure, anyone can also pretend like they are CTO

scarlet cedar
#

i feel like chief positions are just "we need to get this done, let me get someone on it right away"

foggy path

literally like 1% of what I do lol

#

mostly just sit and code :P

cursive crypt
deep copper

that's usually it, they have high exp so they don't have time to spend micromanaging little details, just focus on bigger picture

timber viper
scarlet cedar
#

can you do that? just change a word in another language because of trolls?

deep copper
#

say

timber viper
#

It's official reason is to "increase the brand value of the country" (if I translated correctly from Turkish), but I'm pretty sure main reason is Turkey is also has a meaning of a food in English πŸ˜„

timber viper
cursive crypt
#

As young, I was watching over grandparents turkeys.

foggy path
#

also if something "is a turkey" it means it's a bad product or such :P

cursive crypt
#

Like "Made in China" ?

deep copper
#

why is turkey even used for that lol

foggy path
#

no idea

#

I guess turkeys are considered stupid birds or something?

deep copper
#

don't they burry their heads to protect themselves

cursive crypt
#

Males can be very aggressive. A lot.

scarlet cedar
timber viper
deep copper
#

no idea, it was definitely a big bird like turkey

cursive crypt
#

We had one, I think was near 10 years old. Most aggressive, big bird, raging its blood was colouring its head.

foggy path
#

@scarlet cedar yeah I mean the phrase to be a turkey isn't used that much, but it does occasionally get used like that

cursive crypt
#

Once, I remember it was chasing a grown up teen down the street.

#

She was running as hell.

foggy path
#

it's an english language colloquialism, there is no translation of that in other languages I know of

deep copper
foggy path
#

in finnish turkey is called turkki, which also means "fur coat" :D

#

as in the kind you wear, or the kind animals have

cursive crypt
#

Nah, I know gooses. Watching over them too as a kid. They kinda go on their own.

deep copper
foggy path
#

I think it's just a coincidence in the finnish case

scarlet cedar
foggy path
#

turkki is probably a finnish language approximation of the turkish word for the country's name

#

and the fact it has a finnish language meaning besides the country is just coincidence

timber viper
#

Nah, I'm just confused how many different cultures use Turkey/Turk/Turkki words in different meanings

#

Turkki also how Greeks call us

#

With single k but when they pronounce it becomes double πŸ˜‚

scarlet cedar
#

we just say Turkey like the animal. its weird because both are nouns so.. context is important

deep copper
#

maybe turkey came from turkey

#

so it's just called the bird from turkey

#

and then it shortend to just turkey

#

which would mean turkey can sue the bird for taking over its name?

scarlet cedar
#

i used to think Turkey was short for Turkmenistan then i found out they are not the same thing

deep copper
#

i don't even know what that is

scarlet cedar
#

different country to the right of Turkey over the lake

timber viper
deep copper
#

so they are turkish too

timber viper

Yep

#

Probably even more than us, based on genetics

Something that I know film guys have been doing for a while now

got this basics on Blender

but

median wraith
quasi mantle
#

But who knows if Blender/UE community come up with ways to trick UE5's Houdini centric placement system to work with Blender's systems

#

Justice for freebies and lowcosters have to be made after all

median wraith
#

there is a plugin for Blender todo kinda the same with geo nodes

#

aside from that tech artist usually do use of Houdini but

#

never tested it myself never had the urge at all

#

wait what

#

230 for 12 months and then 232 for one month ?

#

XD

cursive crypt
#

I mean... if you are so dedicated, you as well may support them more /wink

median wraith
#

also this cannot be used with my clients from what I read ?

cursive crypt
#

Wdym by "used with"?

median wraith
#

If I got Epic as client lets say

#

I cannot use Houdini from what the license says

#

as they exceed the 1.000.000€ per year or so as client

#

so the indie tiers are off from me

#

makes no sense because I don't do that numbers

#

also they don't pay me the tools *directly

#

5000€ per year

#

is kinda absurd as freelance

cursive crypt
#

Ppl who use units like gram per lb are sadists.

median wraith
#

"You are a freelancer who earns less than $100,000 annually. You have a contract do work for a large company that has revenues over $100,000.

If you produce final renders or baked out data for the large company then they are considered a client and you may use Houdini Indie. If you want to share scene files and assets then you are partners and will require a commercial license."

Found that

I don't know if the actual things loaded into the houdini engine inside UE4 count as baked out data

Maybe he is not into gnomes.

Mike Lyndon from SideFX will explore how the latest iteration of the Houdini Niagara data interface has simplified the process of exporting point caches and added new ways of using that data in Niagara.

on top of the 5000 license for the app

nato didn't want to do anything anyway

deep copper

nato did move stuff near nato border for nato defence, maybe putin wants some extra assurance that they won't do anything in ukr

timber viper
deep copper

ukr agreed to talk with russia in belarus

#

hmmm

#

? ..what will they talk about exactly πŸ˜…

unborn lotus
deep copper
#

yeah no idea what he wants

foggy path
#

I think he might have started to believe his own propaganda

#

This seems to be one idea being floated around - that he thought the ukrainian people would actually side with him

#

with minimum resistance and it'd all be over in a few days

timber viper
#

His speech before starting a war explains everything

#

"Ukraine does not have a right to have an independence"

#

He thought he is ultimately superior

deep copper
#

he really believed that? i guess he really was going senile

#

i don't know history too well, it happened before?

frigid rain
#

Thing that bothers me is the nuclear high alert and NK doing more ballistic testing. If Putin gets backed against a wall...

#

Well, I don't like the probability of that scenario

#

One thing is for sure. NATO has to squash this quick and put the guy in his place without the whole world burning

#

covid is bad enough

deep copper
#

if a third party, other than nato russia or ukr do something, it will get even more messy

frigid rain
#

I have a bad feeling this gets messy no matter what happens

#

and when you operate on that assumption you want to stop the guy with the big guns before he burns the world

#

then again that opinion could be jumping the gun

#

pun intended

#

As long as people like that are in charge, life is a cruel joke for a lot of people.

#

yet if you threaten to take his power away, he presses the button

frigid rain
#

on a lighter note, I finally found some good books on the features of visual studio, since 2022 looks like a much nicer ide than before

#

so far though the best books look like they cover 2019, but at least 2019 books will teach me how to set up the 2022 interface to a degree. Most of the features are going to be the same core stuff, minus the performance jump and probably newer features. But I just installed 2022 last night and it looks almost identical to 2019

Yeah, I saw some industry professionals going crazy about it on Twitter. But I'm not sure how it looks like

I was checking the procedural citities things today but tbh is a hungry things todo like you need a lot of meshes to make it looks almost some decent

what can be wrong

deep copper
tulip orbit
#

Developing a game idea, got enough to start the actual project, but its largely based on a board game right now. Still need to put more of my own spin on it. Should I start the actual project? or continue brainstorming ?

#

didnt start based on the board game, but after writing a few notes I went "hey, this is awfully similar to X" and ran with it

median wraith
#

Wish blender itself had some partition tool

deep copper
tulip orbit
#

I dunno what game to just play, so, some game dev? something simpler than what I usually try

deep copper
#

what if your new take needs too much to change? or what if you can't reach the new-take because you didn't start making it yet?

#

oh okay

tulip orbit
#

wanna make a gwent sized game. Something simple but fun

deep copper
#

idk what gwent is about, but i think i get the feel of what you want

#

that sounds like it will need quite some planning on gameplay

#

no wonder you are puzzled

tulip orbit
#

if I need lots of planning, then its already more complex than i'm aiming πŸ˜„

#

will require lots of play-testing and balancing I think tho

deep copper
#

that seems true, so you are just going to dive into the making?

#

to figure it out better

tulip orbit
#

I'm doing a little more planning right now

deep copper
#

oh i see, goodluck ?

tulip orbit
#

heh, thanks πŸ™‚

median wraith
#

Is kind of sad if I do a Minecraft clone on UE4/5 but the light features are worst isn't it ?

tulip orbit
#

on ue5 with lumen it might be pretty nice

median wraith

I don't think so after some tests

#

can it be worse than minecraft's lights

tulip orbit
#

why not?

deep copper
#

so the old goblins were more fairy like?

mossy nexus
#

Modern goblins work in banks, apparently.

deep copper
#

haha because they like gold?

verbal junco
#

I would have thought kobolds would do that

#

anyway

mossy nexus
#

No, because it happened in Harry Potter πŸ˜„

verbal junco
#

all of these have have been modernized heavily by D&D

deep copper
#

harry Potter had goblins? wha

verbal junco
#

the old fairytale versions are different

i really don't recall what happened in Harry Potter, maybe it had them

mossy nexus

yup, the original faery tales were brutal.

@verbal junco Are you also skilled on narrative/dialogue design? πŸ€”

deep copper
#

that's probably part of level design

#

in a way

verbal junco
#

and there is a LOT of cringe dialogue out there

timber viper
verbal junco
#

if you have to knock out like 50 lines of dialogue it's definitely easier with a spreadsheet

#

you can always reference the spreadsheet in some construction after the fact

timber viper
#

Have you ever heard about Valve's dialogue system or 'criterion-fact based' dialogues?

#

I'm working on a similar implemention for UE but confused about best workflow preference

tulip orbit
#

theres a dialogue plugin on the marketplace that is node-based, and it works great. recently did some fixes for ue5 too

timber viper
timber viper
#

I couldnt find one allowing me to create dynamic dialogues

verbal junco

#

Do someone remember that game that plays like "portal" and you are a woman with a giant ass in 3 person ?

timber viper
#

Tree-like structure makes sense

tulip orbit
verbal junco
#

as in, procedural?

timber viper
#

Kind of, yeah

verbal junco
#

because I would advise against that

#

AI written dialogue is terrible

timber viper
#

Context of the dialogue is not procedural

#

Selection of dialogues from table/database and follow-ups are procedural

verbal junco
#

I mean that's just categorization

#

not procedurality

deep copper
#

why are most of them such heavy drinkers lol

verbal junco
#

northern traditions involve heavy drinking

#

how else are you gonna keep yourself warm

deep copper
#

pull the grass

deep copper
#

what are they for

verbal junco
#

drinking buddies

#

because drinking alone is taboo

deep copper
#

it is?

verbal junco
#

yes

deep copper
#

i can imagine i guess, what if you lose your mind and do something terrifying

verbal junco
#

perhaps that's how it started

timber viper
# verbal junco I mean that's just categorization

-> Each event is identified with a tag like onDamaged,
-> when events happen you notify subsystem and every dialogue has conditions like CurrentMap == X, CurrentPlayerHealth < 30 etc.
if conditions passed, system evaluates 'facts'
-> OurCharacter == "Joe" && CurrentHealth < 10 --- NearestAlly == "Zoe" && NearestAllyArmor == 30 && CurrentLevel == "Park"
-> Dialogue that has most facts selected, if multiple dialogues has same amount of facts one of them is randomly selected

That's how it's working at most simple level.

verbal junco
#

also just because it's taboo doesn't mean it doesn't happen, just that people don't talk openly about it

#

I had a friend turn alcoholic after he started drinking alone

#

he's fully sober now

deep copper
deep copper
fleet tangle
#

@timber viper I fail to see the difference between your conditions and facts...

verbal junco
timber viper
fleet tangle
#

Ah ha.

fleet tangle
#

So one is a prerequisite, the other is a score.

timber viper
#

I'm just writing the tool

verbal junco
#

right okay

#

so you're making a plugin

fleet tangle
#

I would make the dialogue select via facts ab ti fuzzy

#

Or you may have the same dialogue happen 100x in a row.

#

a bit*

timber viper
fleet tangle
#

Maybe if it was the last played dialogue, -1 fact

verbal junco
#

and usually it's a question of "is it worth it?"

timber viper
#

But.. isnt that what narrative designers do? πŸ€”

verbal junco
#

even narrative designers have scope limits

#

text isn't free

timber viper
verbal junco
#

and also remember how likely it is that the player skips over all that dialogue

timber viper
#

Not for RPG like dialogues

verbal junco
# timber viper As a reference from Valve's GDC:

if you look at these examples, none of these seem particularly relevant and just serve as examples. if I were making any game I'd probably cull a lot of these down to one or two lines that are fairly generic

#

just because it's not worth putting the effort into something that will at best be skimmed over by the player

verbal junco
#

so if you have a stealth game the player needs to know when a guard is alerted and when they have lost sight of the player

#

how exactly that is written out an VO'd in words matters less

ocean parcel
#

Well, just cut another person off.

verbal junco
#

so maybe if you have a fully narrative game where every sentence matters, then yeah you'd consider wording more closely

#

but ultimately you're very quickly going to reach a point where you fulfill the function, add some variation and call it a day

timber viper
verbal junco
#

sure just ping me
