#

There were a bunch of games we used to play in splitscreen too

#

mostly finnish shareware games that most people outside finland probably never played, like Wings or Minebombers

dark sequoia
#

meinkraft

verbal junco
#

can't say I've heard of those

foggy path
#

Wings is one of those games where you fly around in a cave in a space ship and shoot at your friends

#

Minebombers is kinda like more violent bomberman with more guns and stuff? lol

verbal junco
#

I remember playing fallout 2 and getting scarred for life as ||the evil dude massacred a whole family in front of me||

foggy path
#

:D

#

yeah I played that too

verbal junco
#

like no censorship or anything, just full blown massacre

foggy path
#

Diablo 2 was also fun

verbal junco
#

I did eventually complete both fallout 1 and 2 and they're still some of my favorite games

#

yeah diablo 2 was great

foggy path
#

I still remember my barbarian character was called tofuman

#

don't ask me why, probably no reason

#

lol

verbal junco
#

I remember being super impressed with the environments

#

like you got to be in the desert

#

in the jungles

foggy path
#

Yeah

dark sequoia
#

diablo 2 is gewd yee πŸ™ƒ

#

the remastered version did a pretty good job of updating the graphics without taking away the original feeling and atmosphere of it

verbal junco
#

when LoD came out I spent so much time trading

#

I had this thing where I would go back and start from nothing, set myself a goal of some nonsense runeword and give myself some weeks to get it

#

and I managed

dark sequoia

like high level runeword

yeah it was interesting. sometimes you got lucky with one 1 HR but you still needed 3 more

launcher only logs me out maybe once every couple of months. Bridge is every launch lol.

Weird thing is that the exact opposite happens.
Bridge remembers me for a couple of week, before asking to enter password and go through 2FA again

everything is okay? @zinc matrix

#

holding on to the bright side

#

i miss getting fuck'd up and making art, beats

#

nice song

#

abandoned mall vibes for sure

#

πŸ˜„

#

😐 japonese songs are brightening my aeroponic garden mood

#

and can't do shit except move forward

#

haven't talked to friend for almost 2 years and all I have is song projects from him

#

πŸ™‚ mixing the electric pipes with the guitar feels hard

#

it's raw af

#

πŸ˜„

#

i talked personally with a old friend some days ago

#

made me want to madly smoke weed all my way again

#

go to parties afterward

#

yeah

#

returned to home to model a bit more

#

that's all we did

#

he smoked a brave joint in my front and did not offered me a puff

#

and i talked a heck of myself

#

i always end up feeling like dying

#

i may be the most egocentric being around my area

#

and not knowing wtf is going on

#

and then I just stick to guitar to ride it out lol

#

i actually went there to question some bits about our past

#

i do not remember much of our early adulhood

#

that i consider mid adolescence

#

cbd feels the same

#

it gives you that paranoia

#

if you take too much

#

and melts you

#

lol

#

he was spitting saliva and certainly i would be paranoid about it if i smoked

#

πŸ˜„

#

but sincerely, living with my parents after hit the road for a year, sometimes i just wanna forget myself

#

but i do not know if i have much braveness

#

everything drug related feel so heavy

#

something natural and just a lil bit is fine

#

if you take cbd and go bike riding it's fine

#

even tho you feel like dying

#

but exercise helps lol

#

riding a bike is another ballpark of existence

#

yeah

#

bike to the woods

#

and touch a tree

#

haha

#

once i stopped cycling and started look to the skies thinking where the airplane was

#

at the end was the noise on my ears

#

of the wind

#

when i moved

#

but that was acidic

#

lol what

#

yeah, it was literally like an airplane noise

#

but i was very irresponsible about dosage and size of body

#

or may i feel too much

#

i though i was a hero on 3 grams of mushroom and some friends go party with 4 on raves

#

anyway i will not over stand, just passed to type a heelbye

#

that song and the tutorial has nice colors

#

inspired me to try and recreate

#

I dunno, I just like the trilogy games

#

Even though I'm not into horror much

zinc matrix
#

yeah πŸ˜„

quasi mantle
#

Maybe someday I should get into making a horror game, but put more emphasis into Eldritch Abomination kind of body horror and stuff

Not just some cheaply made shitty horror indie games.

#

Want it to be more psychological than just mystical

zinc matrix
#

it's about atmosphere and visual feeling

#

like alan wake

#

that foggy feeling

#

throwing in dead bodies and all the rest is like fun elements of it lol

#

feels too basic and predictable

#

like at times it feels like you just need to throw in some crosses and scary stuff in it lol

quasi mantle
#

Also I kinda tempted to put RPG elements into it, along with some first person shooter

zinc matrix
#

threw it in just for fun and to make it look scary

#

like shit went down on this road

#

damn

#

gameplay looks booring, but design is nice

#

will take like 1-3 years for me to release playable game

#

patience and not giving up is the key

#

even if it feels like going nowhere

#

just making levels for the sake of making something

I cant wait for the sequel to Ebola 3... Covid 19

thats not what I mean when I said I wanted to go to the green room

It is still green, there is just too much exposure.

I dunno bout that, I felt like she was more exposed in 5th Element

That was so back in the past.

Hey, good news!

being pushy about Edge is not what I consider advertising, the amount of apps that have popups is insane considering we almost universally agreed popups were garbage

It frustrates the hell outta me cuz on the one hand MS does some cool stuff but on the other they do this invasive crap which makes me want to not use any of their software

Hey bros what's good?

unborn lotus

weather is pretty good

cursive crypt
# unborn lotus weather is pretty good

It ain't. It is mid of March and is still under 0 C,wtf... These winters gets longer and longer, there is almost no Spring anymore. Probably it will get from 0 to 20 in two weeks.

pearl elk
#

0C are you mad

#

it was like 35C+ today πŸ˜›

cursive crypt
#

Shoo... Everyone knows that this continent does not exist.

pearl elk

its not a continent, the place down under aka Hell is always hot πŸ˜…

cursive crypt

It is hot because you always with the heads down.

#

I suppose there is no snow? πŸ€”

zinc matrix
#

"winter"

#

you mean when everyone says 15C is cold

unborn lotus
#

@cursive crypt it was until a few days ago, now back at 13. Next week 15, finally. Such a long winter

cursive crypt
#

Yeah, you were in northern Europe?

quasi mantle

#

Honestly yeah

#

It's not exactly warm

Although I would love to see those that love "winter" so much spend a winter in a place that's actually harsh

no sun...

As with many things, it is fun only for a short time.

i.e. as a guest/tourist.

As a guest you don't have to think about house maintenance and stuff

Yo guys just wondering, what are the chances of actually building a dev team with the #volunteer-projects channel? I’m thinking of finally starting my game with a team

#

I’m new to this community so I’m not too sure how common it is

unborn lotus
#

that depends, what are the skills you're bringing on the table?

queen canyon
#

More of a hobbyist project, so any skills are welcome

zinc matrix
#

what sort of project exactly?

#

game?

unborn lotus
cursive crypt
#

I make tea and can yawn.

deep copper
#

i can sleep

queen canyon
#

Oh I’m a programmer as well

#

Mostly blueprint

#

Also yeah it’s a game! Sorry I should have been more specific

zinc matrix
#

what's the theme?

queen canyon
#

Kind of a journey-esque third person shooter

#

A little inspired by Mandalorian

#

And mad max

unborn lotus
#

Well if you're a star programmer, have a lot done already and just need some side help for art or sound, maybe...but you have to really inspire people

#

If you're only bringing an idea or plan, then 0

cursive crypt
#

^

queen canyon
#

Ohh so probably not the best place to try to get anyone into a hobbyist project that is just starting

#

Gotcha

unborn lotus
#

Best to work at it by yourself for a while

queen canyon
#

Yeah, then just see what roadblocks I hit along the way that I may need further assistance with

quasi mantle
#

I mean, why would someone waste my time on someone's project if it doesn't bring me food on the table?

Revenue share is not guaranteed, so the incentive is not there.

Even if you could assemble a team from #volunteer-projects , don't expect the team members to commit on it full time.

#

Come to think of it, lack of funding is one of the reason why open source projects either halted or have slow development.

queen canyon
#

Slow development is fine for what I’m aiming for. It’s just a passion project for people to work on in their free time since this is a hobby.

quasi mantle
#

Well, they can leave/bail out at anytime, as there are no immediate incentive, so still expect it to be all on your own.

queen canyon
#

I mean of course, people can come and go as they want and I’d most likely still work on it anyway

foggy path
#

it's still a pretty tough ask... both of my projects I'm doing with some friends who want to do the projects but they all have other things either as a result of procrastination or something else that makes me the main driving force behind them :P

#

Their contributions mainly come in bursts that come and go

#

I'd imagine the result of working with strangers to be that, but expect even less

deep copper
#

people either work on their own ideas / their own projects for no pay, or work to get some income. the only ones you might gather are those who need weird experience or something else. as you have already concluded, you might gather people easily once you have made some raw material that inspires them. one downside with people coming in and going out, is that the material you have becomes so varied that final product appears like different parts stitched together

yea, but that means more bloat.

yeah adding ads to some more used components is most annoying

deep copper
#

isn't windows license already costly? also file explorer? you mean like how i get app names i haven't installed in the app browser in win 10? isn't that misleading? showing files I don't have to make me get them or something

deep glen
#

I got a paid win-10, never saw a banner/ad

quasi mantle
#

They're there even though it's not actually installed

foggy path
#

In win10 I never saw anything that I'd traditionally classify as an ad

#

The start menu buttons for apps that weren't installed, you can just remove them nbd

#

I think I've seen a small blue link text somewhere saying you could install this microsoft application to do something which technically is an ad I guess but it didn't bother me

#

the screenshot from the file explorer thing looks annoying though :P

deep copper
deep copper
foggy path
#

It's apps that microsoft has put there so I would assume there has been some kind of a vetting process lol

deep copper
#

yes, they are mostly games etc from what i have seen, and it does have something under it like you said, saying it's not installed as of lately i remember it didn't have that before and i was confused where these apps came from

foggy path
#

I don't really know what's so confusing about it

#

operating systems come with bundled software, my assumption was they were installed

#

so I clicked it to see what it was and then it just opened the store which made it pretty obvious it wasn't installed lol

deep copper
#

the confusing part for me was, "i have already removed all the games, how is this here? πŸ€” "

#

it's Microsoft so i hope their file browser ads would be clear that this file is an ad ,or just not have it in the file browsing are because muscle memory would make me click at wrong files if the structure changes with it

foggy path
#

I mean they're not going to inject files that are ads

#

There was a pretty obvious "banner" in the screenshot what this is based on

deep copper
foggy path
#

Never heard of that, sounds like some kind of garbage tier software you shouldn't install anyway lol

deep copper
#

it was

#

I don't remember the name, but it was something chinese and its purpose was video encoding of sorts, saw that in an acquaintance's laptop

Epic blocked the marketplace income in russia too

#

tbh here some main developer were from russia I see this awful

cursive crypt

Probably Epic has to keep up with the sanctions.

It also may be dependant on which bank that dev is using?

it goes to a tweet lol

a russian dude hacked or whatever my epic account a year ago, he changed everything to russian language and put his name and adresse in there. but thats all, then I changed my password. that was so weird.

but the prospect of doing it in winter doesn't really excite me much, nor using a bike to haul groceries or other larger items lol

I wish it was normalized here too. I can do shopping too, easy with a front basket

I definitely need many horsepowers to do my grocery run lol

foggy path
#

I actually did some calculations after going to the Burger King drive-in the other day

#

It almost cost me as much in fuel as it would cost to have it delivered lol

deep copper
#

good thing, just have it all delivered always now

unborn lotus
#

Should have biked to get it

foggy path
#

hmm actually it wasn't quite the delivery fee, I think I got it a bit wrong

#

fuel cost for that trip woulda been around 4-5 eur, delivery is more like 10 :P

deep copper
#

is the saving worth it?

foggy path
#

depends on if you want to spend the time driving there or not I guess lol

if we go there together it's worth it <3

its like cat head attached to human body

It's a furry game

Hmmm

I think that model is great

I'd even say you should make him more buff like a real bodybuilder type and make it look like the cat head is actually like one of those mascot suit heads that some guy is just wearing

I lovehate blender very much. it reminds me of lightwave

No sorry, wasn't trying to legitimately get FBX format to change via discord.
Just complaining that it doesn't have kinda basic features like non inherited scale.

verbal junco
#

the blender discord is one of the most unhelpful places on the planet

#

way too many blender fanatics

#

"if you can't do it the blender way, f you"

#

"oh x as a delete key bothers you and the fact that you have to have another menu to delete every single element"? WELCOME TO BLENDER BABY

solid hull
#

Their fanbase is not unlike the Rick and Morty fanbase

solid hull
#

I will give them credit for having a CRAZY amount of hotkey control

verbal junco
#

can't rebind the effin menu though

#

had to get a custom plugin just for "normal" deletion

solid hull
#

Definitely saved. There was even a v001, v002 and v003 of the scene. Luckily, managed to salvage some anim from v001. Still scary. Would not want it to happen on a massive scene.

verbal junco
#

have you used blender?

verbal junco
#

the default "delete" key brings up a menu instead of deleting stuff

#

no it's asking you what to delete despite you having a selection to work with

#

try it

#

it asks you if you want to delete edge or face or vertices or whatever

#

that's not confirmation though

regal pecan
#

Indeed. It's more like a double-hotkey. XF for faces, XV for vertices, etc.

cursive crypt
#

Blender is dope.

#

On side note: I am burned out browsing the forums as that Elden Ring is freaking everywhere. People simp about each pixel even.

deep copper
#

i love keyboard hotkeys of blender

verbal junco
#

everyone likes being forced down a workflow. imagine being forced to use rider for VS because it's the only option πŸ˜”

#

I just use the export plugin and the delete plugin

#

that's it

#

yeah to avoid the obnoxious delete menu

#

see above conversation

#

just makes the delete auto correlate to what your selection is

#

instead of having to manually do it

#

just like any other 3D app does it

#

one wouldn't think it's rocket science

#

but apparently it is for the blender foundation

verbal junco
#

but like... it's a map?!

#

isn't the whole point fast k,v gets?

#

well yeah because of lack of 2d arrays

#

but let's not pretend that's how maps are supposed to be used

#

sorting maps is

#

how does vector differ from... an array?

#

std::vector is a sequence container that encapsulates dynamic size arrays

#

why is it called vector though πŸ€”

#

I miss lists

#

they were my favorite

unreal ether
#

std::vector and boost::fixed_vector are amazing honestly

I know its gonna be a great vid if code monkeys in it

timber viper
#

My super-duper awesome cool team lead was using it for iterators so I also used to it

red pewter
#

Some lamdas require it

unreal cedar
#

TArray works the same way as std::vector, minor implementation details aside. They're the exact same type of container.

the "vector" nomenclature was chosen to distinguish it from built-in arrays (new int[123]). Of course this screws things up because mathematical vectors generally have a static size but std::array is the one that's statically sized...

#

tldr: vector is a dumb name, but we're stuck with it

yeah unity has brackeys and code monkey and sebastian lague and i can go on and on

i think thats a major reason a lot of indie devs go for unity

Also there's shitpost-y Unity videos

I doubt Unity has a dedicated channel for theirselves with full of bored seniors like #cpp though

As far as shitpost-y dev goes, I can only think of Fat Dino for the Unreal side

I mean unreal has some good ones don't get me wrong, but in my experience the amount of high quality community support has been higher for unity

that was meant to go with the person talking about unity having good docs lol

I mean, sure, Unreal is a very serious engine for very serious people, but surely some shitpost videos, silly challenges, and less for profit projects won't hurt, right?

Right?

unreal ether
#

exactly, unity docs are so great, i managed to figure out exactly how to use the Vector2 library for my needs after 1 paragraph, but unreal docs are all auto generated

its like a look up a node, and it tells me its inputs and outputs, like yeah, i kind figured that

occasionally you get the quick start guides that are kinda useful, but theres only like 2.5 of them anyway

solid hull
unreal cedar
#

I was more referring to the fact that they keep releasing half-baked new features and never stabilizing them (or deprecating old features without replacements lol)
They might have good docs... but if there aren't good systems to go with those docs then what's the point.

I'd be tempted to use Unity if it were C++, just for the docs alone

But I don't like C#, and the systems in Unreal are usually well designed

There are still few fear mongering roaming around that distance beginners away from Unreal

unreal ether
#

another thing that does annoy me, is sometimes id ask something, or go to a tutorial, and get told a way o doing something is bad without any explanation, whereas with other support for other engines, ive found they explain why things are bad, instead of "this bad, dont do"

you see id like that, but im not a fan of watching livestreams

Not to mention Twitch is less forgiving than YouTube when it comes to internet connection

yeah twwitch doesnt like my internet at all

i prefer youtube anyway even if i am binging, cause i like the freedom of being able to sit down and watch parts whenever, rather than being forced into something

i dislike twitch, unless im the one streaming

I can stream 720p60 livestream in YouTube easy, but not on Twitch.

you on about the VODs of the streams that get reuploaded?

At least Unreal's official channel had VOD on YouTube rather quick, I give them that.

Even though admittedly Inside Unreal is hard to follow

#

Even as someone who use UE for almost 5 years now

unreal ether
#

cause im not a fan of them either, cause its still the streaming style, livestreams arent always interesting, and sometimes you get bits where they don't talk, or they sit debugging fr ages, which i dont wanna watch

i want to see features being implemented, and why they are doing it, with a little bit of hindsight, rather than in-the-moment commentary, which i find more underwhelming

my goal is to make systems in c++ to expose to bp, which

I'm sure we had several instances where we scare beginners away.

I personally hate blueprints for everything except assets

They definitely have their place

But when used improperly it results in literal spaghetti code

quasi mantle
#

And I don't remember what was the question is all about (the one that I redirect to #blueprint) but it sure wasn't even about BP v. C++

C++ vs BP is a false dichotomy anyway, blueprints are a tool to add on top of C++

Makes some things way easier

BP taught me a lot about how the engine thinks at least
