I love lasagne but it takes forever to make

[fleet tangle]

Do you have a slow meta-bolism?

[verbal junco]

I don't let my pasta dishes take over 10 mins

[fleet tangle]

Heh.

[deep copper]

bold of you to assume people actually bother checking all the channels here

i would be surprised if anyone does actually

[zinc matrix]

i was jsut gonna say, do you guys check every channel?

[deep copper]

it would make sense if an unmuted channel suddenly pops up though for me

[bronze axle]

I don't expect anyone to check every channel. We have too many.

[zinc matrix]

sometimes i try to look at channels im kind of interested in, but mostley there very in-depth convo's going on there

[verbal junco]

not enough people asking about level design 😔

[zinc matrix]

and if im really bored or jsut want to do something, i try to awnser basic questions with my noob suggestions 😄

[deep copper]

yeah sometimes i wonder if people avoid going to those because it's so indepth their questions would feel irrelevant, they ask in #ue4-general or #lounge instead

[zinc matrix]

to be fair i ask in #ue4-general sometimes, because i sometimes get an awnser pretty fast there and the designated channel seems kinda dormant

But sometimes it's a mess in there, people being mean and stuff

[deep copper]

that's when pfist use their fist,

or well, fingers, since it's mods

[verbal junco]

yeah #ue4-general is the wild west

[timber viper]

I wonder where all cool entry-level LDs asking questions

[verbal junco]

it's unlikely they are aware of the channel

but I have seen a few come around

and the immediately leave afterwards 😂

[timber viper]

what have you done to them 😂

[fleet tangle]

I try to keep an eye on #slate. It's just wrong to see people floundering there!

[timber viper]

Didnt know you were a slate wizard mister

[fleet tangle]

I have a beard and everything.

[verbal junco]

I don't think it's me, I think it's all the irrelevant questions 😂

[timber viper]

#graphics u say

[bronze axle]

Alright, time for some MetaSounds. Jumping into #424868670049878017.

[deep copper]

entry level LD questions aren't LD questions, all LD questions are usually too advanced for anyone to figure out it's an LD question i guess

[verbal junco]

yesterday a dude asked about blender workflow

I thought that was pretty apt

but it's easy to see that a lot of people get swayed because they get enamored with tech

[timber viper]

Do you keep watching that channel for the sake of %0.001 of the population (people who interested in level design* but does not appear in channel) or just #graphics thing so fun

lol that correction was funny

[verbal junco]

believe it or not I actually care about level design

[timber viper]

care about level design or care about #level-design?

[verbal junco]

not the channel necessarily

but I try to help

[timber viper]

But there arent people asking level design questions

[deep copper]

CE is itching to problem solve some LD issues, i doubt they care about the people much

[verbal junco]

and I guess #graphics is a meme now

so I can't stop

[deep copper]

#level-design is the only hope they have left 😔

[verbal junco]

Shepherding people to #graphics since 2021

All the struggle, fight, to make HL3 real

[quasi mantle]

[quasi mantle]

Much better

[quasi mantle]

Inb4 "but HL Alyx is HL3"

[verbal junco]

😂

I think HL3 has to be the conclusion of Gordon's saga

not Alyx's

[fleet tangle]

I need to get some VR and play Alyx

[verbal junco]

VR is keeping me from playing it

[quasi mantle]

I'd rather wait for the non-VR mod to be finished

[timber viper]

We need episode 3 first

[verbal junco]

well that and my diminishing interest in games

[zinc matrix]

I tried playing HL2 again when i was sick, but it felt very different and empty then when i played it when it came out

[fleet tangle]

Went to a VR experience the other week, it was pretty fun. The graphics were mostly terrible though 😄

[verbal junco]

it's almost 20 years old

[quasi mantle]

I nearly collapsed once when trying out VR

[verbal junco]

oof

[deep copper]

HL2/3 is half life?

did i guess correct for once?

[fleet tangle]

One game was an fps, but you had to move by "throwing" a new position you'd teleport to, like a grenade. It was so bad.

[verbal junco]

no we're just saying that

[verbal junco]

this is an option in HL Alyx as well

[foggy path]

teleport movement is pretty common in these tbh, eg. you point to where you want to go and it tp's you there

for beginners "sliding" movement tends to immediately cause nausea

[fleet tangle]

But it's so bad!

[verbal junco]

yeah I'm not a fan

then I'm not a fan of VR in general

I still think it's a fad

[fleet tangle]

The hand thing had a d-pad kinda thing on it, should have just used that. 😦

[verbal junco]

and people won't let it die

[foggy path]

It's really cool for certain things

Racing sims never without VR again thank you

[deep copper]

sounds like a !rolldice command you would give

[unborn lotus]

I thought so too but Alyx was hands down the best gaming experience I had in decades

[verbal junco]

sounds like you get carsick if you don't get nausea first

[foggy path]

Nah :P

[quasi mantle]

https://youtu.be/Ji9nuBNwTz4

[foggy path]

Car movement tends to be somewhat predictable and smooth, so even for a total beginner it causes less nausea. You get used to it pretty quickly though

[verbal junco]

I get car sick too easily

[quasi mantle]

The non-VR mod for HL Alyx looks so promising

[foggy path]

something like Dirt Rally can be a bit more harsh since the stages can be bumpy, which is a bit more demanding

[quasi mantle]

It would be my only way to play HL Alyx tbh

[deep copper]

how are horror games in VR? must be terrifying

[verbal junco]

same

[unborn lotus]

Lol I wouldn't go near any zombies at first in Alyx. And getting close to corpses was insanely eery

[foggy path]

I do wonder if a motion rig would eliminate even the small amount of nausea beginners would get from racing or flight sims

because the reason you get nausea is because your other senses do not match with what your eyes see

since a motion rig can simulate the g-forces from vehicle movement, it seems it might actually alleviate it

[verbal junco]

but like

[deep copper]

sounds like we need a whole matrix level setup to be comfy

[verbal junco]

why VR in the first place

like I didn't need it before to have a good experience with a game

I certainly don't need it now

[foggy path]

You don't need a steering wheel and pedals to play a racing sim either

But that doesn't make them useless

[verbal junco]

I dunno, I don't really care about peripherals matching their real life counter parts

but then I don't play racing sims

[foggy path]

Yeah, it's clearly not your niche then, but it is for me :)

It's significantly more immersive to race with VR because you get proper depth perception, plus it's easier to measure distances, corner entries, etc.

being able to look around you is really useful when racing in close proximity to other drivers so you don't ram into them

[quasi mantle]

At least steering wheels and pedals won't give you motion sickness

[foggy path]

etc. :P

[fleet tangle]

Racing sims for me tend to get boring the moment I actually have to use the brakes.

[foggy path]

@quasi mantle I cut my finger once on the shifter paddle tho

[deep copper]

i remember reading in a yt comment section that a guy turned their head back while reversing a car in a game because irl habbit ig

[zinc matrix]

I watched this streamer girl that does the unreal Vtuber thing i forget her name.
But she was using the threadmill thing to run around it was hilariously bad

[quasi mantle]

CodeMiko?

[zinc matrix]

that's the one

[foggy path]

in VR this works, for example when backing up in Euro Truck Sim 2 :D

[zinc matrix]

I love what she is capable of doing. but man that high pitched voice and the dumb stuff is not my cup of tea

[deep copper]

they have brakes in those ? 🤔

[quasi mantle]

Same tbh

If only there are Japanese style anime VTubers made with Unreal...

At least I could bear those kind of VTubers, in particular from the Far East

[foggy path]

Yeah because those loli VA's won't get annoying at all

[deep copper]

do vtubers need to add ue logo btw?

[zinc matrix]

I love to see the technology in action, it's really cool. I just dont understand half of the trends and the way people act, its always very scream-ish and pubesent

[quasi mantle]

I'm used to it

[foggy path]

lol

I wonder who's the go-to VA for those nowadays

when I watched more anime it was Haruko Momoi

[fleet tangle]

Probably because it's aimed at a younger audience, ix.fx

[foggy path]

I guess Shokotan might still be active? No idea

[quasi mantle]

I guess more specifically western younger audience

[fleet tangle]

I'm currently watching an anime about game dev.

[quasi mantle]

Let me guess

New Game

[fleet tangle]

Well, I was. I'm not begrudgingly starting work. 😛

[foggy path]

I vaguely recall one of the characters in Genshiken did gamedev at some point as well

[fleet tangle]

Yeah, makoto.

[cursive crypt]

#weebs-talk

[foggy path]

although the show otherwise had nothing to do with that topic

[fleet tangle]

Though I don't think it's the first anime about game dev / dev in general I've seen.

[verbal junco]

I'm generally limited to the animes that are available to netflix

[fleet tangle]

I sub to CR and FN. And netflix and prime. 😦

[verbal junco]

just watched komi can't communicate the other day

[quasi mantle]

Definitely not the first one, but New Game kinda make it popular

[verbal junco]

enjoyable

[foggy path]

is Way of the Househusband still on Netflix

[deep copper]

i generally only watch the anime, not learn about who made it and who voiced who

[fleet tangle]

That's on my list!

[quasi mantle]

Inb4 I confuse it with Shirobako

[foggy path]

That one is very good

[verbal junco]

surprisingly more humorous than expected

I did watch it

[quasi mantle]

Shirobako was about anime production

[verbal junco]

it was decent

kuroko's basketball is probably still my favorite

[fleet tangle]

I'm learning that I fucking love depressing romcom anime, like Fruits Basket.

[verbal junco]

that's some art of war shiz

romcom animes are great

less edgy than other types

so more watchable

[fleet tangle]

I dislike sports anime in general, but this salaryman one that's airing now is pretty great.

[atomic hedge]

YO guys, which case you like more? They are the same, just the colors

[verbal junco]

it's less about sports and more about the art of war

I thought it was really well told

[fleet tangle]

I read most of The Art of War the other day.

[verbal junco]

each character is a dark souls boss that has to be claimed

[zinc matrix]

I understand, but still the people doing it are my age, and also other streamers, seems that it's cool to have a quick temper and scream when things dont go your way 😄

[foggy path]

There's a couple fun sports ones, I liked Hajime no Ippo and Slam Dunk

[deep copper]

i thought you said you weren't a weeb 🤔

[verbal junco]

I'm not

I watch anime occassionally

[fleet tangle]

Loud and annoying will always get you viewers, ix.fx.

[verbal junco]

I don't have body pillows

[zinc matrix]

i like the black one

[quasi mantle]

I prefer the old beige cases

[verbal junco]

I don't obsess over them either

[quasi mantle]

Nothing beats a Sleeper PC configuration

the real PC's, with a Turbo button for extra 46MhZ

[deep copper]

hmmm 🤔

[foggy path]

https://www.proshop.fi/Images/915x900/2399873_9db3f30f87e1.jpg my PC case looks like this

[verbal junco]

thanks, will hire a vtuber for game promotions

( )

[fleet tangle]

I went super overboard on my pc case. Got a full tower. It's really heavy and large. I like it, though.

[foggy path]

Yeah mine is huge

[quasi mantle]

I had it on my list already

[foggy path]

Gotta fit in all the hard disks and stuff, and a gigantic cooler so it's quiet

[verbal junco]

this is my case

[zinc matrix]

I just got the cheapest one at that moment. now it's pretty huge for what i need, and white 😦 it's so ugly hahaha

[verbal junco]

about the size of a shoebox

full rig inside

[quasi mantle]

Personally I prefer those Mini ITX cases, make it small and portable

[zinc matrix]

wow nice

[foggy path]

Feels like that would just get super hot

[deep copper]

looks rub-able

[foggy path]

or super loud with fans :P

[verbal junco]

nah

it has perfect airflow

and is quiet as f

[torn island]

make a laptop that can cut off the circulation in your legs

[zinc matrix]

Yeah same, i was looking into those little NP... something cases for my VJ setup, because my laptop wasn't cutting it. I forgot the name started with N something, like a mini PC but pretty powerful

[quasi mantle]

Packing Ryzen 9 5900X and RX 6800 XT in a small box

[verbal junco]

I even have it standing on desk and it barely murmurs

[quasi mantle]

I need portable development and gaming PC, as laptops aren't going to cut it

[foggy path]

Yeah guess if you don't need a huge GPU or addon cards doesn't matter so much

I'll probably have to get some addon cards for extra USB ports or something at some point :P

[verbal junco]

it's sized to fit the biggest gfx cards out there

[quasi mantle]

RTX 3080s fit into those small bois

[verbal junco]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYao2gHr7Uk

like people think towers are the future? nah son

[quasi mantle]

Mini ITX is the real deal

[foggy path]

How do you fit anything else into that besides that card lol

[zinc matrix]

I found it, they are called NUC PC's, anyone have experience with those?

[verbal junco]

clever use of space

it's a design marvel

[foggy path]

I think my CPU cooler wouldn't even fit into that lol

[quasi mantle]

NVMe SSDs will fit

[zinc matrix]

woa that looks cool

[fleet tangle]

https://www.techgamingreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Corsair-7000D-Airflow-Big-Tower-promises-good-air-exchange.jpg is mine

[verbal junco]

it's the future

[quasi mantle]

Generous Noctua coolers will also fit.

[zinc matrix]

wtf i have EXCACTLY the same

[fleet tangle]

It's fucking heavy, isn't it?!

[foggy path]

Don't think I'm gonna bother getting another case unless I need a second computer for some reason

[zinc matrix]

its so frigging huge, i only fill like 12% of the case lol

[foggy path]

that's one of the reasons why I originally bought one of the biggest cases I found, so I never need to buy another one :p

[quasi mantle]

It's a fine balance of cheaper desktop configuration and portability (as in easy to move around).

Perfect for road warriors/nomads like me

[fleet tangle]

I got it because I wanted to make sure I had room for my 360mm AIO cooler

[foggy path]

it's a bit easier to fit a smaller case nowadays I guess since SSD's are pretty small and you can just stick 'em anywhere pretty much, and you don't need separate soundcards and stuff

[zinc matrix]

yeah i need something like this, with everything opening up i might get some VJ gigs and i wanna use UE to try out all the new cool stuff i learned past 2 years 😄

[verbal junco]

after having this for now 5 years I will never go back to a tower

it's too good

[zinc matrix]

oh i see, i got it because it was the cheapest when my old PC almost died haha

[verbal junco]

full size pc

for a fraction of the space

[zinc matrix]

is it durable?

[foggy path]

How do you change something from inside the box if you have issues with it? :P

I guess you just have to remove the GPU?

[verbal junco]

it's all aluminum and steel

[verbal junco]

mobo and gfx sit on opposite sides of the central pane

[quasi mantle]

It's pretty much the same as full size PC disassembly.

[foggy path]

Yeah see except if I need to replace RAM or one of the hard drives I don't need to remove the GPU :D

[quasi mantle]

Considering it's not a laptop

[verbal junco]

you still don't...?

[quasi mantle]

You don't use HDDs.

[foggy path]

How do you reach the ports on the mobo to plug in the cables even if it's an SSD?

[verbal junco]

you don't need to move the gfx unless you're exchanging the gfx

because the mobo and gfx sit on opposite sides of the central pane

take a look at the video

[foggy path]

ohh right

okay it makes some more sense then :P

[quasi mantle]

There's quite a lot of build videos on Mini ITX and I'm sold

[foggy path]

....not for me tho because I already have too many disks in my PC that they wouldn't fit in there lol

[verbal junco]

I got 3 disks in mine

[quasi mantle]

I want to have an all Red configuration, leans on the higher end for development, and portability of Mini ITX.

Wet dream of nomads and limited space inhabitants. Especially small HDMI screens also exists.

[verbal junco]

2x m.2

1x ssd

more space than I'm using anyway

[foggy path]

I still have 0 m2's because that's how old my pc is :P

I think it does have an m2 slot

[quasi mantle]

Ryzen 9 5900X would be a fine balance between price and capability. Peuget said it's good for compiling UE source code and projects

[verbal junco]

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

[quasi mantle]

Also holy shit
Even there's some local listings for Mini ITX cases for around $100

[verbal junco]

they're not expensive generally

you need less resource for a small case than for a big one

anyway my goal is to fully minimalize peripherals and keep my pc as small as possible

get a head mounted display instead of monitors

gloves for mouse and keyboard

yep I'm well aware

but thanks for the consideration

weight is a big thing, and ergonomics for the input interfaces

[quasi mantle]

I'm inclined to think it's small price to pay compared to buying laptop with same spec ranges.

Well, Ryzen 9 5900X and RX 6800 XT isn't exactly top of the line, but I think it would be fine for fully fledged development with Unreal Engine.

[verbal junco]

these look sick as well: https://videocardz.com/press-release/lian-li-announces-a4-h20-120-chassis-designed-in-collaboration-with-dan-cases

11L tho compared to the A4's 7.2L

[unborn lotus]

I'm.thinking of getting the Sliger 620...for a full NH D15 inside 😅

[verbal junco]

tbh chances are if I get to build a new rig in the next 5 years I'll get something like that for my place and keep my current for movement

[quasi mantle]

Those could fit in a backpack, along with a mini 1080p HDMI screen and small size peripherals

[verbal junco]

for peripherals I'm definitely thinking gloves

the peregrine already exists

for keyboards

and I could make the touchpad glove as the mouse counterpart

[cursive crypt]

Wtf, this is so small. Where will the cat stay in?

[verbal junco]

the box it comes in 😎

cause I suck at it

[quasi mantle]

Well, tbh I have no option but being a generalist

I held the role of:

• Director
• Writer
• Programmer
• Character Designer
• Game Designer
• Audio Engineer
• Composer
• Artist
• Technical Artist
• Animator
• Technical Animator
• Debugger

[cursive crypt]

You miss 10 more.

[quasi mantle]

And I won't bother listing them even though I could've subconsiously took them. Obviously not including networking stuff

[deep copper]

if you were to rate those skills of yours out of 10, which is the highest and which is the lowest rated?

[quasi mantle]

I'd say (Technical) Animator, Technical Artist, and Programmer goes 7/10

Lowest would be Artist (because my drawing skill sucks) in 3/10

Also Music Composer at 2/10, because I'm struggling trying to write music with "piano keyboard" layout. I had to use proper piano keys to have easier time improvising.

they've been down the drain for a while

or say you know Halo Infinite might have come out a decade earlier hehe

[verbal junco]

DA1 had baldur's gate style combat

no turns, but you gotta pause every 5 seconds to make sure to optimize behavior of your companions

it's mad annoying

I don't remember CDPR having any games besides the Witcher series? (and cyberpunk now)

Didn't know that

if we have to have turns in real time, at least let it be on the level of street fighter. it's your turn if you can take it from your opponent

CDPR is the R&D division of CD Projekt.

just automate that ish

yeah the worker overflow gets too much

[quasi mantle]

So basically Active Time Battle?

[verbal junco]

in civ 4 it was insane

[verbal junco]

I have no idea what that is

the concept of turns in street fighter is more philosophical than a game mechanic

[quasi mantle]

Older Final Fantasy's battle system

[verbal junco]

you have to find a weakness in your opponent's strategy to take your turn

some characters are engineered to never let go of their turn

it's quite interesting

I really wanted to translate this concept to a card game

[quasi mantle]

In ATB you take turn when the time is up, and so does the enemy. It happens in near real-time.

ATB is my main motivation to go through older JRPGs, really. Hence I skipped much of FF10 (that game dropped the real time incentive)

Baba yetu was an amazing title track.

like I said, it's more of a philosophical concept in SF. you can try and take your turn at any time, but if you guess wrong, your opponent can punish you

[neat sluice]

Sogno De Volare was great too (Civ 6)
I don't know the exact name of the track

[verbal junco]

it's fully real time at 60 fps

what's really fascinating is that it's a consequence of the frame data

so if you end up being plus (you recover from a move before your opponent recovers), then you have a chance to take your turn. but even moves that end up minus can be plus when executed correctly, based on distance and okizeme

I've tried but it doesn't work for me

[quasi mantle]

If only Persona 5 use ATB (because even in 2012 the patent is expired), I would consider playing that game.

[verbal junco]

and if your opponent is plus, they have a chance to pull off a move before your recover complete and can counter, which means it's a constant guessing game. however, human behavior is predictable, and analyzing your opponent's behavior becomes the main component of the strategy

yeah it was terrible. thanks ubisoft

[verbal junco]

took inspiration from dark souls

elden ring's quit is the same as dark souls

it's obnoxious

but not on the level of the first AC

[quasi mantle]

I voiced this frustration on Twitter the other day and had multiple people tell me “this is why I use alt+F4", a Windows shortcut that will kill the application instantly, but I don’t think that cuts it. That’s not a proper solution.

Except this is wrong, and applications can change behaviour of Alt+F4 (or clicking the Close button) beyond issuing exit command by default, and it's not task kill as he thought.

[verbal junco]

also just in general, it's surprising how terrible most things are in games given the amount of combined intelligence we have in game devs

I'm sure this is some sort of law or effect somewhere

link me if you know it

true I have fond memories of 4. but 5 rectified the merciless border expansion

also hex grid > square grid

[quasi mantle]

As far as Steam would've concerned, closing with Alt+F4 should be considered clean exit as well, not task kill.

I mean for any message, Lorash!

[cursive crypt]

His feet meow too.

[verbal junco]

@zinc matrix gimme your input: touchpad built into a glove - yay or nay? use your thumb on the palm of your hand

[fleet tangle]

Also, I have no arrows on my mobile!

[verbal junco]

same hand

[fleet tangle]

I suggested the front of the fingers.

(palm side)

[verbal junco]

well yeah, it would be more towards the finger/palm area, where it feels comfortable

[deep copper]

rubbing your hand? sounds, tempting..

[quasi mantle]

That could make certain activities more convenient, placing capacitive touch control on gloves.

[verbal junco]

not even at the fingertips?

[fleet tangle]

I can do above knuckle to fingertip pretty easily.

[verbal junco]

the point is to eliminate kb/m peripherals

anyway I'm going to try to make this glove and see if it works

[fleet tangle]

Mouse is just too good. You're not going to eliminate it with ghetto trackball interface

[verbal junco]

but that's assuming this is for vr

hmd no virtual screen

[neat sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/cheese-eat-hungry-jerry-mouse-gif-17060823

[verbal junco]

just like

[deep copper]

if you can do up arrow on mobile with it, i am in

[verbal junco]

fair

it's not going to be perfect on the first iteration

[fleet tangle]

You're not even getting rid of the mouse, you're just replacing it with a different bit of kit that you need to actaully wear

[verbal junco]

but I gotta start somewhere

[verbal junco]

a mouse needs a surface

I can't handle VR

[fleet tangle]

A trackball doesn't and it already exists.

[verbal junco]

possibly. but there's always the issue of input not coming through with those kinds of interfaces IMO

[fleet tangle]

Why can't you handle VR?

Motion sickness?

[verbal junco]

I wouldn't have the screen follow my head in the sense that it would change based on where I look. just it would be screens mounted to the face

[verbal junco]

yes

[fleet tangle]

Have you tried motion sickness medication?

[verbal junco]

I'm not about to medicate myself just to play a game

like what is this

[fleet tangle]

Meds will get you used to the experience!

[verbal junco]

cyberpunk

[fleet tangle]

And ween yourself off the meds.

[quasi mantle]

Meds to supress depression is already annoying enough

[verbal junco]

f me that's a dystopian outlook

[neat sluice]

we are already in a dystopia (Depending on your viewpoint)

[verbal junco]

I'll have to test it. again, first iteration will suck most likely. but someone's gotta try

[fleet tangle]

This is beginning to sound like google (gl)ass territory

[verbal junco]

yeah but this is dystopian the current point. so if we're in dystopia already, then it's like double dystopia

[deep copper]

that sounds like drug stuff

[verbal junco]

I think perhaps there needs to be a perception of the outside world

[neat sluice]

I'm waiting for the day when we have a full Body suit that lets us actually feel whatever happens in VR (If thats even possible)

[verbal junco]

I mean it'd be drilling a hole next to the monitor just so you can reference the real world

[fleet tangle]

Direct brain connection, @neat sluice !

Fuck the suit.

[verbal junco]

yeah glossy bad

[fleet tangle]

Just jack in. (Then jack off because, you know, it'll be used for porn 99% of the time)

[neat sluice]

As of now I imagine it would be weird to perceive yourself doing something and there's no physical feedback to it

[verbal junco]

this will be prime trolling territory

[deep copper]

i can see some virtual meeting site being used that way

[fleet tangle]

It'd be Occulus Snift, obviously!

[verbal junco]

I'm sure people will find uses for it

[deep copper]

can't wait for high distored audio and asmr equivalent of smells

do you already have the sniff oculus?!?

[verbal junco]

as if you don't have worse links open already

[neat sluice]

||An Influencer selling her farts in a Jar (97 sold in 2 days)||

[deep copper]

the link has all the suspicious keywords

but honestly it just goes away after opening it I assume, it can become a comodity easily like some air freshners have, interesting concept but mass production would be difficult

unless you don't tell them where it comes from and mass produce it 🤔

there should be ways to create similar smell

low concentration h2s or whatever

[quasi mantle]

I thought Amouranth popularised it 🤔

[verbal junco]

and here I thought we were doing so well

rip #lounge you were never my favorite

[deep copper]

#graphics it is for yoy

i mean #level-design

u*

[quasi mantle]

Whispering ASMR is less offensive
If anything it can be used for audio equipment testing

[deep copper]

wait asmr was offensive?

[quasi mantle]

I know some people would get offended by ASMR

[neat sluice]

Mass Production you say?
https://www.theweek.co.uk/news/world-news/955290/fart-selling-influencer-hospitalised-after-going-too-far

[fleet tangle]

The problem with smells is you need actual physical material to trigger the sense.

[deep copper]

i recall listening to watermelon eating asmr and felt like my brain was being chewed

[quasi mantle]

It's one thing that you either able to take it, or absolutely disgusted by it.

[fleet tangle]

You'd have to have refillable scent cartridges, like printers.

[verbal junco]

https://tenor.com/view/vulpes-inculta-fallout-new-vegas-legion-degenerates-gif-20957164

[foggy path]

Some old games apparently came with pieces of paper you could scrape and it would have a smell lol

Larry 7 for example

[neat sluice]

We're having a Profound discussion on the weirdness of some Homo-Sapiens

[quasi mantle]

Speaking of ASMR

I'm thinking an idea of having "real-time" ASMR with visual aid (not just static image, but real-time Unreal Engine graphics in VR)

Considering how I cannot stomach VR, but thinking of a VR experience idea, hell yeah

[deep copper]

that probably won't work too well then, and depending on what you refill people should be capable of telling what smell you like more, so companies can kinda track the smells you love and create better personalized products, guess that's useful?

[neat sluice]

I never really understood the purpose of ASMR anyway

[verbal junco]

it does things to people

[neat sluice]

yea that clears it up

[verbal junco]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4r91mc8pbo

[deep copper]

so streaming with asmr mic etc?

question: is it safe

[quasi mantle]

The opposite
So the recording would be monaural, with general single sensitive mic, but the binaural spatialisation is in real time

[neat sluice]

I don't understand a single word

18 million views wtf?

[deep copper]

see all your replies are so ambiguous xD, balanced between a helpful dude and a sarcastic troll

[neat sluice]

you lost me at Monoaural

[verbal junco]

the essence of chaotic neutral

[quasi mantle]

And also in VR, you would see the character clings into you, while the realtime spatialisation doing its job

[verbal junco]

it gets better when the ||american psycho|| music hits

[neat sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/critical-role-crit-role-cr-c1-vox-machina-gif-18063511

[deep copper]

you mean like how ue creates a feeling of 3d space with sounds etc?

[quasi mantle]

Yup

[deep copper]

i hope you don't mean those 440hz or whatever EEEEEE sounds

[quasi mantle]

Like, I'm sure that's nothing new, but goddamnit, it could be a good idea for some spin-off game

[verbal junco]

own it

[quasi mantle]

No lmao
I'm thinking of original characters performing whisper ASMRs, and maybe light object sound, also spatialised by Unreal

[deep copper]

if you didn't got strike you weren't toxic

[verbal junco]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-days-since-last-accident-accident-days-since-days-from-gif-13572167

I couldn't find the reverse

[deep copper]

that sounds like a good experience cor audiophiles

for*

[neat sluice]

I once asked a question there
I got a lot of helpful replies
But It always gave me the vibe that If I do something wrong, they'll kill me

[deep copper]

yeah it's a dangerous place

[verbal junco]

correct

[quasi mantle]

take a look to the sky just before you die

[deep copper]

ue server as a whole is dangerous, but every channel has different triggers, if you can survive here other servers feel easy peasy

[verbal junco]

I'm intimidated daily of how deep the cpp rabbithole goes. I mostly blame GB though

[neat sluice]

Nah, I'm totally new to C++

It was a really newbie question

[quasi mantle]

||Unity also saw some fair share of "competently made" kinky games so yea||

[neat sluice]

There was no 'Super' call in the Post Load function and UE was crashing whenever I hit play

[quasi mantle]

What about someone insisting on using Vim?

[verbal junco]

it's the same type of people that come to blueprint, but with even less understanding of code

[quasi mantle]

I know few titles of kinky games that is made with Unity (and more competently produced, not the shitty asset flip kind)

[neat sluice]

yes, that was another question (I forgot I asked it) 😅

[quasi mantle]

(and of course those come from the land of the rising sun)

[verbal junco]

also it seems like #cpp has much less memes nowadays than it did previously

wot happen

is this a jab against rider?

oh wait that thing about notepad++ was serious?

lmao

brill

[neat sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/burn-in-hell-elmo-fire-flame-gif-8764555

[deep copper]

xD

[verbal junco]

sometimes I think I can understand people, and that I should give everyone the benefit of the doubt

but then you see ish like that happen, in #cpp no less

and I'm forced to reconsider

have you seen the dude in #career-chat ?

[neat sluice]

yeah I've read Hot Reload doesn't work sometimes Most Of the time

[fleet tangle]

Most of the time*

[verbal junco]

thread from here: #career-chat message

[timber viper]

[neat sluice]

That's the same vibe as
Indie Developer wanting to make the next MMO

or GTA V

[verbal junco]

"no I decide who will give me an interview"

[quasi mantle]

more like watch intro to trash visual studio

[quasi mantle]

Oh that

[carmine frigate]

yea fuck learning, illo just w8 for neuralink

[quasi mantle]

I missed my agenda of being sarcastic there

Well, kinda

[verbal junco]

even Luos has had enough

[quasi mantle]

I wrote "even 9 years old can do Blueprints" but I thought he was genuine about it

[verbal junco]

tbh can't imagine moderating this discord

[quasi mantle]

Too much benefit of the doubt being given

[verbal junco]

a new fire to stomp out every minute

[neat sluice]

um, this is actually a calm server?

[neat sluice]

There are some which are absolute carnage

[carmine frigate]

i think u can start with BPs at 9

[verbal junco]

https://tenor.com/view/delete-delete-this-keyboard-press-button-auto-press-gif-17123254

[carmine frigate]

but english is kinda needed

[deep copper]

yeah, you are working on your game and "MOD NITRO SCAM" every 5 min and then there's a war in some channel where you can't tell who is right, and there's millions of different channels to moderate with nearly 70k people

[timber viper]

It's not

[neat sluice]

BPs are good

[carmine frigate]

I had to use an english/dutch dictionary just to play nintendo 😛

[quasi mantle]

I'd expect this happen in my own servers.

[carmine frigate]

now u have translate

[quasi mantle]

Sooner or later.

[cursive crypt]

Nice style.

[carmine frigate]

but these days all cartoons on TV are dubbed .. so i kinda think that sux

[verbal junco]

same

[cursive crypt]

He was unable to write tho.

[deep copper]

yeah but that's like 99% population there only aims to do that, but here's it's split between people that need help, people who want to help, (+they can turn bad if they get angry), busy working properly and a few crazies in between

[quasi mantle]

NGL I learned English from watching (pirated DVD) English movies
