deep copper
my favorite part is the drop kick (??) at around :22

I guess it's less a dropkick and more stabbing someone in the face with a foot

Oh, I don't think it helps tho? They get banned anyway 🤔

Dude youtube and Instagram shorts are too addictive suddenly its like how the fuck have I been watching useless vids for half an hour
deep copper
did they change the algo? i noticed yt shorts were better as well
fleet tangle
Come back when it's been 3 days and you've not gotten up to pee.
thick belfry
Like in a row but definitely I watch more on a day if its a bad day
deep copper
but i am too lazy to watch them
thick belfry
I just feel so useless after watching them
fleet tangle
No time is wasted time as long as you were having fun.
deep copper
don't torture yourself
thick belfry
Its a waste of time
And its ruining my attention span
But somehow I keep clicking on them
fleet tangle
Close the browser. Back away slowly!
thick belfry
Being in bed sick all day doesn't help
deep copper
i can understand, this is why I can't even have fun while playing something 😓 feels like a waste
thick belfry
But I did it before as well
Well atleast you can say you're doing gamedev research 👼
deep copper
i am not a game dev...
thick belfry
Oh haha
Become one 😎
Join the dark side
But yeah I really gotta stop watching shorts
deep copper
just, do something else
i feel like, you will end up wasting time one way or another
just calculate which is a better waste
thick belfry
Sometimes it feels like all entertainment is out to get you with addictiveness nowadays
Not all but most mainstream
deep copper
you are making games too, so ,
thick belfry
Yes, but there's different types of incentives to play/watch
These are like some insidious endorphin machines
deep copper
i have heard games have those, limited usage energy thing that recharges slowly to reduce addiction, but that just adds a new currency thing
deep copper
Yes, but there's different types of incentives to play/watch
yup, it's all slightly varied, but at the end of the day it's all self indulgence in some form
thick belfry
I mean like, you can play/watch because you enjoy it
Or because its a skinner box of endorphins
One is fun, one is addictive
deep copper
you mean that "reward " system we have right? these things have short term reward thingy
deep copper
yes, i believe having fun is way better than addiction too
but the line is so blur
you can't tell when you just enter that zone
and then you just don't have anything else to do so you do it because you can?
cedar wolf
Hmm.
deep copper
i read somewhere that all forms of products are made to trick us into using them more, we couldn't have enough of anything before too easily, but now, say cake, is easily accessible, we want more of such things
it's tailered to make us want those things
cedar wolf
I understand youtube addiction, but lately, I've been wanting to play videogames, but lack the motivation to do it, which seems rediculous to me because it's fun and it's something I want to do and it doesn't take much effort.

At least you didn't spend 2 hours talking armchair politics to random people on discord.

Let's say I wanna make a character punch
How do I make the punch create a box to detect who it punches?
neat sluice
But aren't BPs not as optimised?
Yes, they're slower than C++, but the difference won't be noticeable for a lot of cases
Times where you'll notice the slowness of BPs, is heavy maths calculations, Procedural Generation, etc.
buoyant briar
Okay, and is there a way to convert it to C++?

How do I make the punch create a box to detect who it punches?
easiest way: sphere trace. hard way: collision volume on fist, animate

But then I just bought an excellent plugin which does what I need more efficiently (it still takes a while to make a complete flight model though)
deep copper
make plen fly realistically
how realistic are we talking about exactly...? i have seen flight sims but never played those
zinc matrix
well first you use lift and drag equations
lift is basically proportional to air density, wing area, velocity
same for drag
but this is all multiplied by a coefficient
for lift this is lift coefficient (CL)
and for drag this is CD
deep copper
but this is all multiplied by a coefficient
which is unique for each plane?
zinc matrix
pretty much
getting an example real quick
so this is what a lift curve might look like
x axis is angle of attack (will explain shortly)
y is lift coefficient
deep copper
lift is used for, during the lifting stage" or something?
zinc matrix
nah lift is constant
it just varies depending on certain factors
angle of attack
basically the angle the wing makes with the air stream
if you see a vid of a plane landing (or taking off) notice how they're sort of pitched up?
zinc matrix
that's because they're going slow so need a high angle of attack to get enough lift
but when they're going fast this angle is pretty small
deep copper
so they use air resistance for going up or down?
zinc matrix
you know how a wing works right?
neat sluice
zinc matrix
basically more aoa brings about more of a low-pressure region on top of the wing
with low pressure on the top and high pressure at the bottom it creates a net "upwards" force (about 90 degrees perpendicular to the airstream)
But there's a limit with how much aoa you can achieve
deep copper
with low pressure on the top and high pressure at the bottom it creates a net "u...
that's a very clear explanation 🤯
zinc matrix
after a certain point (this varies a lot depending on wing design, flaps, etc.) flow separates and lift is diminished
deep copper
yeah, i was expecting it to be complicated stuff, you simplified that well
deep copper
after a certain point (this varies a lot depending on wing design, flaps, etc.) ...
yeah I wouldn't expect a very high aoa working
so where's the drag now?
is that just like, friction slowdown calculation?
zinc matrix
yeah I wouldn't expect a very high aoa working
so on this curve, you can get to about 25 degrees aoa where you reach the most lift coefficient then you start stalling
drag?
it's a bit simpler
exactly the same equation as lift, varies with same factors too
but uses drag coefficient
deep copper
so on this curve, you can get to about 25 degrees aoa where you reach the most l...
right, the graph makes a lot more sense now
deep copper
exactly the same equation as lift, varies with same factors too
they are for similar things then?
zinc matrix
a drag curve might look something like this
similar to lift, the coefficent varies with angle of attack
so if you imagine an aircraft with an aoa of 180 degrees, the air would be hitting straight into the underside pretty much
(if that makes sense)
it's hitting a flat plate essentially so the drag coefficient is going to be very high
basically your hand outside a car window
that's the best analogy I've got atm
deep copper
ah alright, lift was for vertical movement, drag for slowdown from that aoa? so the more plane directly hitting air the slower it goes
zinc matrix
yeah exactly
basically more lift = more drag
and the aircraft is controlled by changing the aoa
So the angle of the stabilator (tail) is changed in a way that the angle of attack is negative, this creates "negative" lift (downforce) which acts about the centre of mass pitching the aircraft up
neat sluice
Damn this is some Aerodynamics class going on atm

on that note, helicopters use their back for spinning right? rotating

I'm not a helicopter expert but I have a vid you might find interesting
But yeah the tail rotor is to counteract the torque the main rotor creates
Alternatively you can use two main, counter-rotating rotors (like you see on a chinhook, or a kamov for example)

It's a good overview

verbal junco
I've found you can do it in two ways
you can start by making a queso base by having pasta water and cheese in a pan
the cheese will melt and make a sauce
then you can lower the heat and mix in egg, then slowly raise the heat until you reach a level of creaminess
verbal junco
add pepper to the sauce, let it reach optimum levels, then add salt
it should be
it's a cream
not unlike mayo
deep copper
so "paste" like?
verbal junco
そんなことが
verbal junco
I've found it works really well with parsley
so I chop up a bunch of parsley very finely and add it in
then once the pasta is done, you throw it in and mix on the pan itself
deep copper
you said "non meat" based, implying it uses meat usually?
the stuff i posted did have bacon
verbal junco
yeah you use bacon or pancetta or guanciale
which is very fatty
and you use the fat from that to make the sauce
so you let it cool, mix it with egg
add pasta water and pepper and slowly temper the egg mixture into a sauce
it's a difficult technique because you can overdo it very easily and get scrambled egg

yes, but it's the way you said it, you could've just said "yes" but you chose to expand it to everything in life, not just restrict it to this topic, and you do it often, it feels like experience or wisdom
it also opens up door for others to bring up exceptions, jokes or move the conversation to something else from that, it keeps the conversation going
verbal junco
maybe it's just me but wisdom to me usually comes in the form of old adages or stories
for instance, this is something I often think about:
A young student was eating with his old master
The student asks, "Master, what is the meaning of life?"
The master replies: "Have you finished your rice?"
The student nodded
"Then wash your bowl"

that's true, and by how much of those people drop into the convo, you can often end up judging how much stuff they have accumulated over time, it's not direct wisdom but an indicator of experiences, to me i guess?
verbal junco
I find I can tell young people apart purely by how they act
most young people come into this channel, drop some meme or talk about themselves, then leave. no respect for any ongoing conversation
deep copper
that's quite true actually 😅 , similar age groups do behave similarly as well
verbal junco
they're very self centered
it's all about them and the identity they want to label themselves as
rarely do they show this identity through actions
if you look the bios of people as well it's the same
"game developer" "visual artist" "level designer", you see these a lot
yet they show no games, no visual art and no level design
deep copper
it's all about them and the identity they want to label themselves as
i often find that you can tell what shows the person watches the most, or games a person plays by how they behave, specially if young, they try imitating those, even if they aren't truely like that

i can also put in something pointing to someone else, like "missing my dog 😔 " i have never owned a dog before but now i might be seen as having one perhaps, for all you know it could be an inside joke as well
zinc matrix
Yeah
Here you can tell how experienced someone is by how active they are or how knowledgeable they are in answering questions
Or even asking questions
If someone asks "how make this mechanic" vs "how do I do this certain thing with the material editor?" for example
deep copper
yes, that does let's one know how experienced they are with the engine
and sometimes also tells what line of work they are in with the engine
verbal junco
well experience with the engine != experience with development
zinc matrix
Well yeah
verbal junco
you can be a master with the engine and yet understand none of what makes a game good
deep copper
well experience with the engine != experience with development
or experience with life, life wisdom thing, which i meant before
verbal junco
which begs the question, if there was another engine you'd have to move to, would you be able to transfer your skills?
deep copper
you might be able to grasp the fundamentals quickly yeah, of that engine, because engines might work similar in many cases
verbal junco
or experience with life, _life wisdom thing, which i meant before_
I have no experience with life
deep copper
with everything getting standardized etc so that tools work with any other tool, it should be easier to switch, but again, can they make a good game is a different question
verbal junco
you are asking the wrong person

I have no experience with life
yes! it is better to assume that, so you never stop growing as a person 😌
