lounge

[dark sequoia]

i forgot if i ever mentioned before, but ive been a fan of that series for about 13 years now lol

[deep copper]

dragon ball is one of the few where dub was better i heard

[dark sequoia]

give or take

[fleet tangle]

I can see why you'd be a fan at 13.

[dark sequoia]

well i said for 13 years

[quasi mantle]

from what I've seen at a glance, fanservice-y aspect of Strike Witches is still tame to me

I've definitely seen something more bombastic than that lol

[deep copper]

there's always something that lowers the bar

[dark sequoia]

as in, i first started watching it at around 2011/2010 (cant even remember exactly anymore lol

so more like 12 years, but close enough

[fleet tangle]

How old are you now?

[deep copper]

24?

[dark sequoia]

atm Im 32, lulz

[zinc matrix]

usualy the bar lowers me, but that's mostley when I do the limbo

[dark sequoia]

33 in a few months

[quasi mantle]

NICE!

[fleet tangle]

I can see why you'd be a fan at 20.

[dark sequoia]

thats better :p

[deep copper]

ah wait, i thought 12 was age on 2010

[quasi mantle]

Staying strong at 30s

[deep copper]

lol

[fleet tangle]

Because you are a man of culture.

[dark sequoia]

one things for sure, i didnt stay a fan this long due to fan service alone

cause if thats all it was, I would have been a fan of it for a few months and then forgotten about it

[quasi mantle]

I personally getting into more steamy side of anime by the age of 17

[fleet tangle]

I just really hate fanservice in general.

[quasi mantle]

And now I guess I can be more perverted than Hideo Kojima 😏

[dark sequoia]

in fact, if it wasnt for that show then I wouldnt have the knowledge I have now for modeling, drawing, game development, and so on... its all thanks to that, in some ways

[fleet tangle]

For modelling the female pelvis?

[dark sequoia]

in terms of passion to create and such

[quasi mantle]

I get into Idolmaster since 2020, and my character writing has changed ever since, and also pushed my UE4 skills further

[dark sequoia]

Well like I had already just said, I did not stay a fan for it based on fan service alone. Although you're free to continue thinking that is the case if you really want to, lmao

[verbal junco]

I do subs because I need to force myself to learn the language

but it takes a lot of attention away, I can't sit and watch anything exclusively

I have to be doing something else meanwhile

[quasi mantle]

Also about that popsicle scene
I had some marketplace assets lying around from the monthly free, those won't be used for my game, but I could use them for the machinima project

[dark sequoia]

Indeed, because its almost as if having a passion and love for something actually helps stimulate creativity, motivation, and development for other things and isnt always about sexual content!! 😲

[fleet tangle]

I'm only joking!

[dark sequoia]

by scene, you mean like a rendered pose type thing right?

[quasi mantle]

For faking subdivided pair of butts and post it on Twitter

[quasi mantle]

Yeah, maybe animate wind swaying a bit

[dark sequoia]

if you do need ideas, i'll try to think of something in a sec

[quasi mantle]

I do need one, because I have to make another scene for Yayoi as well lmao

[dark sequoia]

lol its fine

lol theres one piece of Idolmaster fanart that also has Agent 47 in it haha

[quasi mantle]

BTW this is the splash screen for the project

[dark sequoia]

ah cool!

i forgot to ask before, but does this support other characters too? like being able to add them in? or only whats built-in?

[quasi mantle]

Well, all 58 of them along with the respective casual outfits. Stage outfits had to be added yourself, because I can't catch up with them all by myself XD

[dark sequoia]

ah okay cause it would be cool to be able to add other characters, sorta like how MMD or Source Film Maker is actually

but i dont know how hard that would be for you

[quasi mantle]

Oh, in that sense
Well, MLTD models are kinda different from MMD's, and I won't be able to get into other MMD models that have less standardised rig. One who touched Control Rig as beginner would get lost easier.

It's also kind of a speciality project as well so yeah

[dark sequoia]

oh well I meant UE4 rigged characters of course

MMD was just an example of something similar

[deep copper]

when you can't keep up with the chat 😔

[dark sequoia]

lol

[quasi mantle]

I'd leave that up to you
This project is pretty much Editor only, so I didn't bothered to make more generalised tool

[dark sequoia]

ah okay

once i get time, i'll definitely take a look at it cause it definitely looks and sounds interesting

[quasi mantle]

Also I haven't found a way to make animations in runtime, would be huge C++ undertaking for me

[dark sequoia]

ah I see

[quasi mantle]

If you want to take a look at Million Framework, the GitHub repo is in my profile. Currently it's V1 and very messy, and I won't advise cloning it yet

[dark sequoia]

yee you had shared it before, i have it bookmarked

[quasi mantle]

Nice 👍

Also if you have idea on Chihaya's scene, feel free to DM me. I'm going to take some sleep, while thinking about Yayoi's scene

[dark sequoia]

im gonna be lazy and just post some related artwork to you tbh, lol

cause thats what comes to my mind anyway

and then imma get back to work on my rigging

[deep copper]

goodluck

and goodnight

[dark sequoia]

thanks

[cursive crypt]

Did the smoke went away? 🤔

[deep copper]

if you could read my messages, we can still light it up

[fathom wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-it-up-crow-tin-skank-tbird-gif-9684996

[cursive crypt]

I can. It is an way to collapse conversations.

[median wraith]

so who is in the GDC ?

[verbal junco]

I mean I don't want to be anti weeb but if the entire channel turns into weeb central it's like there is no other choice 😔

[verbal junco]

nobody here lol

[median wraith]

damm

[timber viper]

[median wraith]

feels bad man

[verbal junco]

ah that explains the lack thereof

[median wraith]

yeah the tank is I know

[deep copper]

yeah yeah 😒 , it's okay

[verbal junco]

well I mean you do put it on yourself

[timber viper]

How about you?

[deep copper]

exactly how i feel with movies or food or games, it's just a general topic, though there is a limit, but if not enough reason for topic change happens, it can't happen 😔

[verbal junco]

there aren't enough people

or people get scared away by the topic

I do support @zinc matrix's suggestion

[deep copper]

i mean, we already have so many channels, it doesn't hurts to make another if it can make everyone happier

they get a safe space, you get a calm space

[deep copper]

also, the chat was too fast

another thing btw, if anime is being seperated why not poltics too? that way strivvy can freely talk there and those who care enough can go there as well. that's the point of that channel so anyone bold enough to go there should be prepared

[verbal junco]

I agree

put them in the same channel too

#anime-politics

[deep copper]

we can probably afford 2 or more channels, based on regional politics too

[verbal junco]

I don't think we need to

[deep copper]

russia ukr channel, american politics, brexit, etc etc

i mean, I don't even talk in those but if they keep people focused on the topic, go for it?

[verbal junco]

they'd just be dead except for like 1 person 😂

[deep copper]

but that's better right?

you can simply mute that channel instead of replying or having to read a topic you don't want to

[verbal junco]

all I'm saying is it could be in the same channel as anime

[deep copper]

if no one goes there, the person won't try to bring it up either, or if they do, they get redirected

[deep copper]

i guess that's for mods and pfist to decide in the end, but having hardware and food together doesn't seems useful , just like politics and anime, it brings up putin with cat ears in my head

[dark sequoia]

i honestly thought the politics being in the same channel as anime was a joke, but if thats not a joke then... wtf you smokin? lol

thats an extremely stupid idea, but w/e haha

[deep copper]

it's a joke??

i mean, it does seem like one if you put it that way

[dark sequoia]

imo there shouldnt even be politics to begin with, and if its a requirement then keep it in its own channel

[deep copper]

but tbf, it also seems valid, since you are grouping lots of similar people together

[dark sequoia]

while anime is a form of art style that can relate to a wide range of different other topics, and also besides the fact that mixing those two things together literally makes zero sense. no one would ever use the channel properly as a result, and it would prolly get deleted within a week after creation due to being just a meme channel or just unused

[deep copper]

it's a game making server so #food barely makes sense as well, but it's not just a game server, it's a community so they have to deal with such topics

[dark sequoia]

yee, im just saying that mixing them doesnt make sense

would mixing food and politics be a channel that sounds good, for example?

[deep copper]

yeah i mean, anime can be seen as #graphics as ryo said but it will probably be seen as more #lounge there

[dark sequoia]

it depends on context and the actual conversations themselves too

[deep copper]

which is why #anime makes sense, it can push everything there, besides we have people here who strictly don't want it

[dark sequoia]

dont want the channel you mean? or dont want anime? cause if its anime they dont like to see then they should check what year it is cause anime exists like in all forms of media and fans of it exist in many different communities too

in fact im not sure if even an anime channel itself would make sense, unless its for like.. the actual watching of anime (talking about seeing shows/episodes)

but as for the style then nah, that wouldnt make sense either imo

[deep copper]

dont want anime in lounge i mean, but yeah, ue is being used for it as well, and like i said , it's just like games or movies or food in #lounge

[dark sequoia]

but anime exists in games and movies and shows 🙃

cause its a style, lol

just like Fortnite type models are a style (sadly)

[deep copper]

they discuss about old games here all the time too, so yeah, it definitely doesn't makes sense to split it out, which is why i am asking if splitting politics and similar topics also makes sense

[dark sequoia]

now if it comes to like... the figurines and stuff we posted about, well there could always be a channel called #hobbies or something

relating to collections, photos, stuff like that

[deep copper]

that's just like posting pics of monitor screens tbh, or cases, we have #hardware but it still gets here

[dark sequoia]

or painting figs, which doesnt even have to be entirely anime so it would suit more people too (warhammer, for example)

the easiest solution of all is to just not care about such things to begin with, cause caring so much about it is silly to me haha...

no offense to others of course

[deep copper]

which is why blocking to collapse happens ig

[dark sequoia]

afterall, the "anime talks" have already ended over an hour or two ago

[deep copper]

yeah #lounge is usually dead anyway

[dark sequoia]

people can block who they wish, if they want to see less people talking up to them :p

thats what the feature is there for

although personally i never block people, cause its pointless but thats just me

now when it comes to politics, that should definitely be split out of here

cause thats something that actually causes controversy, and possible chances of arguments and emotions

or just stuff that depresses people

and it doesnt at all mesh with anything in this channel, imo

and especially not anime, lmao..

[deep copper]

i am certain it wasn't allowed here before but now i can't find anything in the rules about it

[verbal junco]

I think it used be frequented more, but tbh some of the topics here are bordering on breaking rules

and I can see why people don't want to come here if that's the case

[dark sequoia]

and most importantly, people come to these servers to get away from the world and its problems.. not to be reminded of it

(mostly)

also i wasnt aware of whats happened in the past, so I cant speak much on that

[deep copper]

from what i have seen, it only gets active when it gets near bordering to breaking rules 🍿

[zinc matrix]

linear algebra is mind blowing

[dark sequoia]

but one thing is that if you remind people of something they shouldnt be posting (like one image I posted earlier) then thats all that needs to be done honestly. so for me specifically, i'd be sure not to do it anymore

[deep copper]

it sure blows away the mind

[dark sequoia]

and for those who dont, they get banned eventually (i'd hope)

[zinc matrix]

haha

[verbal junco]

nah it's just your timezone has the most weebs available

[deep copper]

says a weeb

[verbal junco]

well no. I don't own any anime figurines

[deep copper]

yeah that does happen quite a lot

[deep copper]

you own a printed digital image, that's like, idk man, anime??

[verbal junco]

https://tenor.com/view/thonk-thinking-sun-thonk-sun-thinking-sun-gif-14999983

[dark sequoia]

good, then things work as intended :p but yeah again im not sure how bad its ever gotten in the past but within the short time ive been in this server i havent seen anything wrong at all

[deep copper]

i have heard of quite weird stuff

but mostly in #cpp

and i don't go there

[dark sequoia]

well i dont look at every single channel, cause too busy

[deep copper]

they have lots of fast typers with tiny texts

[verbal junco]

also keep in mind that perhaps you are biased because there's more people blocking you here than me

[dark sequoia]

this channel seems more well rounded so i stuck with this one

lol imagine blocking people

[deep copper]

i am blocked everywhere else mostly, so comparing, this server has blocked me least so far in %tage

[verbal junco]

I wouldn't wear that as a badge of honor

[dark sequoia]

i especially like the ones who have to announce to others that they've blocked people too, lol

instead of just doing it and then moving on

[deep copper]

if you get blocked less somewhere, it's not just honour, it's love <3

[deep copper]

it's more open to stuff

[verbal junco]

this type of sentence is why you get blocked 😂

[deep copper]

no one here does lol

[dark sequoia]

in my server, blocks arent even needed cause if someone is annoying enough to get blocked they get banned instead. lmao

[verbal junco]

(presumably, anyway)

[deep copper]

but it's not a wrong sentence though, if you try to understand it, you will see it works, . in a way

[deep copper]

that does happen here too, but too many people to figure out who was at fault, + it's a help get helped server

stuff happens

[verbal junco]

I don't know, I'm not enough of a grammar nazi to pontificate on whether it's a correct sentence. I'm just saying the content of it is borderline creepy 😂

[dark sequoia]

yeah that wouldnt work as well here for those reasons, so its understandable

[deep copper]

then how else would you say it?

[verbal junco]

I wouldn't

[deep copper]

if you aren't paying #volunteer-projects

if you are , #hire-a-freelancer

[verbal junco]

I would take the feedback to heart and adapt

[deep copper]

then i should've ignored your message??? how can i ?!??

[verbal junco]

that's showing way more love than anything else, because you're acting as if you respect the other person

or at least that's how I see it

[deep copper]

it's like someone telling you you have a bad attitude, it can't be fixed in a day

besides i get less blocked now so, it's going somewhere

[dark sequoia]

hmm im still unsure if theres people here who were actually that much offended by the existence of a plastic anime figurine, or if its mostly just joking around lol... but speaking of respect, i myself respect many things/interests that others care for that i dont really care for at all because.. well... thats kinda to be expected by a normal person, honestly lol.. but perhaps thats just due to my age as well :p

[verbal junco]

first step is admitting there is a problem 😉

[deep copper]

i can only imagine that having to open lounge to check again and again was a bit inconvenient, and joining in becomes harder

[dark sequoia]

check wut

[deep copper]

lounge would be highlighted if it gets a message,

[dark sequoia]

oh you mean the fast convo? i mean that can happen regardless if its anime or not

[deep copper]

yeah but they usually know something about those, so they can join, but here, they can't

[dark sequoia]

the convo we had about a week ago or so, about the violent content in my UE4 project... that convo was pretty active and fast if i recall right

at least for a few moments

[dark sequoia]

ah, true

[deep copper]

yup, but that's easy to understand

[dark sequoia]

for me, i just wait or i go do something else

if theres a very active topic going on i know nothing about

[verbal junco]

hence the distinction between weeb and anime enjoyer

[deep copper]

...it's not a problem if it's in a limit,.. or so i have seen so far

[verbal junco]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBMdYBYs1Lc

[deep copper]

i am an anime enjoyer by that definition, but i am equally clueless in other topics

[verbal junco]

complete with misspellings so you can take it as seriously as you want

[dark sequoia]

well it would help to have seen the anime being discussed, which doesnt really have anything to do with being a weeb or not lol, jokes aside

[verbal junco]

well you're an anime enjoyer + weeb avatar

[dark sequoia]

which i understand not everyone has (regarding idolmaster)

[verbal junco]

now weeb isn't binary

it's more like a gradient

so presumably the more weeb things you have or do, the more weeb you are

[deep copper]

i have no idea where my Avatar came from...

[dark sequoia]

you dont? lol

interesting

[verbal junco]

to be fair I almost want to say you're too innocent to be a weeb anyway

[deep copper]

yeah i recall setting it to something once and people recognised it and assumed i knew the thing they were talking about, it was a mystery

[verbal junco]

except for the weird love theme

[dark sequoia]

i dont know where its from either, that being said

[verbal junco]

I can barely tell one anime from the other, let alone most characters

[deep copper]

it's like different shows need different understanding, just like south park or, the yellow guys show

[dark sequoia]

the simps

[deep copper]

yes

[dark sequoia]

damn im good

[verbal junco]

yellow guys show... the simpsons?

[deep copper]

see that message needs a 🫂 response, it's literally asking for it. but i will behave and reply with this message instead

[verbal junco]

it does not

personal boundaries

respect them

[deep copper]

but it's just an emoji, like 🤔

[verbal junco]

🤔 does not imply another person

(or being)

[deep copper]

yes

[verbal junco]

(or nonexistence - I'm looking at Lorash)

[dark sequoia]

thinking implies having a brain, tho! 🙃

[deep copper]

did lorash do something?

[verbal junco]

I swear you have the most alien way of saying some things

[deep copper]

and a lot of cells and atoms which may be foriegn

[dark sequoia]

indeed

[deep copper]

the how about 🤗 ? but that's really creepy even for me

[verbal junco]

true. so if both hugs are off the table... don't use them?

[dark sequoia]

to me that just shows that they are showing off they washed their hands, just like Grand Daddy Biden has asked!

[deep copper]

i will use the ❤️ then, it is quite neutral

[verbal junco]

it's better, but you can still improve

[deep copper]

yeah , but it feels like a psychopath to me that is about to suffocate you

[dark sequoia]

lol

yeah i never use default emojis

[deep copper]

you have nitro?

[dark sequoia]

unless its like basic shapes and symbols

i used to, but it ended a few weeks back

[verbal junco]

I wonder if that same psychopath would refer to the simpsons as the "yellow guys show"

[deep copper]

you use ascii now?

[verbal junco]

🤔

[dark sequoia]

i use traditional type emojis because thats just me personally

more oldschool

[deep copper]

the emojis are yellow, simps are yellow

illuminati

[verbal junco]

I did have that thought the other day

[timber viper]

[verbal junco]

but I suppose it's for the same reason as the simpsons: everyone has jaundice

[deep copper]

i use "<3" for that reason, it also allows other to interpret that as a non serious message

[verbal junco]

||||

[dark sequoia]

Hmm I see

[deep copper]

well I won't mind if they do take it seriously though

[verbal junco]

now we're getting somewhere

[verbal junco]

just don't make them uncomfortable

[dark sequoia]

anyone who takes certain things on the internet seriously need mental help anyway, lol... unless its like advice for technical support or whatever, but yeah

[deep copper]

i recall one person never blocked me no matter what i did before, but they replied once a week only to say "vc me , i can't chat" and "what's wrong with you"

[dark sequoia]

or if its from a family member or close friend, obviously

[verbal junco]

sounds about right

[dark sequoia]

lol wut

[deep copper]

technical advice ? like alt f4 and downloading ram?

[dark sequoia]

well, like UE4 here

but sure, that too lol

[deep copper]

with how hard it is to detect the tone of said stuff online, technical advice also needs to be double checked at times

[dark sequoia]

thats true too, always good to have multiple sources of knowledge

[deep copper]

so i need to keep them comfortable... hmm

[timber viper]

Once upon a time I asked a git question on #source-control and I did what random person said to me then I lost my project files for forever lol

[dark sequoia]

oh..

[timber viper]

Cost me around 2 months to recover

[deep copper]

that's, frustrating

[timber viper]

Cost me around 2 months to recover
Both pshycologically (how do we write that word lol) and literally

[dark sequoia]

I am very sorry to hear about such a thing, but at least you were able to recover it at least I hope

[deep copper]

there's also the fact that they don't know what you are doing and have

[verbal junco]

no, just don't make them uncomfortable

one does not imply the other

you're also not responsible for them, just for your own actions

[verbal junco]

oof

[deep copper]

so... i need to find the sweet spot and threshold right?

[verbal junco]

just don't do anything you wouldn't do in real life to a real person

(that you don't know)

[dark sequoia]

well, another thing is that you really dont owe anyone anything at all. they havent done anything for you afterall (unless they did, but thats beside the point haha), so in that sense its not like you're required to make everyone around you happy. just be yourself and if you're happy then thats the most important thing. only worry about it if its people who you actually care about and who are close to you, and such

thats just life in general, not just online

but also important to be respectful too, of course

gotta balance it, in other words

[timber viper]

Be like cralpi

[dark sequoia]

aka, being a normal human being and not a dick haha 😂

[verbal junco]

have you seen their new username?

[dark sequoia]

also sorry, im not sure what that is a reference to

[timber viper]

Starts with v?

[verbal junco]

nah I think that's another dude. a

[deep copper]

this keeps getting harder and harder lol

[verbal junco]

welcome to adult life

[dark sequoia]

did you say..... hard?

[deep copper]

not in that way lol, not yet

[dark sequoia]

jk lulz

lol wut

[timber viper]

Last time I saw them as Vidisb20 and got them banned in #cpp

[deep copper]

i guess i will just discover whatever you guys said in my own way slowly

[dark sequoia]

oh I see, a past troublemaker I am assuming?

[deep copper]

so that was clarpi?

[timber viper]

yeah

[verbal junco]

oh I don't think that was them, but it could have been. I think they're back as ||autist||

[timber viper]

lmao

[verbal junco]

check their bio

too telling IMO

[dark sequoia]

what did this guy do? lol

[deep copper]

btw, spoilers can be searched for, but not this or was it this

[timber viper]

Pretty much self explaining

[verbal junco]

also totally missed out on that ban tbh

[timber viper]

All mods was offline lol

[verbal junco]

now that is scary

[deep copper]

they are rude to anime pfp holders and also use foul language and complaint or moan a lot

[dark sequoia]

but isnt that already the case for many people here? lol

[deep copper]

nah they just, target you

[timber viper]

They removed the ban message and rest of the things but those two stayed:
#cpp message
#cpp message
#cpp message

[deep copper]

the others here still respect you

they don't

[dark sequoia]

blocking over posting a figurine is respecting? lol

[deep copper]

i mean, they don't say weird stuff to you for no reason right?

[verbal junco]

oh that's right, I had them blocked too

[dark sequoia]

true, i suppose

at least not yet

[deep copper]

they still try to be reasonable even then, but that guy isn't as such

they are borderline troll

i mean the bad kind of troll

[dark sequoia]

lol but isnt that all trolls

[dark sequoia]

the good kind of troll is the one that you dont even know is a troll to begin with until its too late

[timber viper]

His new name could be ||Soldier of Doom||

also see bio 😄

[verbal junco]

but that person is helpful

and only 3 messages

[deep copper]

yeah but they are still a bit , uh, I don't have a word for it, loving? or warm, but the other kind tries too hard to not be warm, this is the latter, too try hard cold

[timber viper]

I have my own reasons to believe they are cralpi xD

[dark sequoia]

they should buy a better thermostat then

[verbal junco]

I can't find the person with the username I mentioned anymore

they may have renamed themselves

[timber viper]

Cralpi was Vidisb20

[deep copper]

nah it's there

[deep copper]

i can see it

[quasi mantle]

What a shocking revelation.

[verbal junco]

https://tenor.com/view/dwight-schrutes-face-mask-the-office-dummys-face-dwight-schrute-dummys-face-gif-17895643

[dark sequoia]

that was a quick sleep :p

heh

[quasi mantle]

Nearly pissed my bed just now

[dark sequoia]

oh..

[deep glen]

if someone is an arsehat let us know. not sure how I feel about openly discussing if someone is or is not an arsehat and mentioning names though.

[quasi mantle]

I'll go back to sleep once I helped few peeps who pinged me

[deep copper]

goodluck

[dark sequoia]

sorry to hear, if that wasnt a joke btw

[deep copper]

sweet dreams

[dark sequoia]

haha...

[timber viper]

I openly discussed a name because they put " 👍 " to cralpi's "keep sucking mods d*" message (which was targeting me)
But yea not in intention to throw a dirt to someone based on a random guess I had

[verbal junco]

damn... the well runs deep

[deep copper]

still, agreeing to that message, nor sure how to feel

[quasi mantle]

It's kind of a joke, because I forgot to take a pee before sleep lol, and I drank a lot of water

[dark sequoia]

ah

[quasi mantle]

Stay hydrated guys 🚰

[deep copper]

there's too many ways to reply to that

[dark sequoia]

lol

[deep copper]

either way, yeah, 🥤

[dark sequoia]

be careful you might trigger someone and then they'll block you 🙃

[deep copper]

i haven't said 99.9% stuff since joining the server

[dark sequoia]

hmm?

[deep copper]

i am fairly safe ☺️

[quasi mantle]

First it was anime, then hydration

Oh well can't please everyone I suppose

[dark sequoia]

well if i explained what I mean... then lol..

[deep copper]

that bear is so.. wide?

[verbal junco]

this comment is nice, A+, would read again

[dark sequoia]

🥂

[deep copper]

that color of

[dark sequoia]

those faces anger me

[zinc matrix]

SO WHO WANTS SOME MATH FUN

i am studying linear algebra with khanacademy

and sal khan used an example of a rotation matrix

it consisted of two sines (one negative) and two cosines

i thought "i know these will produce a unit circle when combined but what is a way to arrive at this?"

i then realized that determinant of said matrix is the sum: cos(theta)^2 + sin(theta)^2

🤔

which looks really familiar

its the pythagorean theorem!

so i thought. huh. thats one trig identity would it work if i solved another trig id for the two constituent functions?

SHORT ANSWER: no. long answer: i tried secant and tangent with theta = 90 degrees and when I punched that into my handy dandy calculator i got no solution because DUH tan and sec have asypmtotes at theta = 90 degrees, they are undefined. which is why we don't use them in said matrix

🧠

please tell me someone can follow all that

curved monitor yay/nay?

[verbal junco]

implies the monitor is too long

https://tenor.com/view/no-randy-jackson-dawg-gif-12730917

[trail wedge]

I'm thinking in a dual arm combo

[quasi mantle]

CRT or LED?

[trail wedge]

LED

[quasi mantle]

Personally I'd go for the flat one, just because it take less space

But I can see how inward curve displays can help with sight

[trail wedge]

well they'll be on arms either way so pretty much the same space

I'm just thinking the curve will make looking at both easier, but I haven't personally used one for any amount of time

holy shit! 2 arms!

[quasi mantle]

Assuming the head is in the center, it could make looking sideways less distorted by flat perspective

[quasi mantle]

What a revolution in genetical synthesis!

[trail wedge]

Kilometer "Arms" Defenses

[trail wedge]

exactly my thoughts

[quasi mantle]

I have second monitor placed on the side, but admittedly it kinda weird because it got distorted by perspective if I sat in the middle of the table

I had to sit right in front of the main monitor

[trail wedge]

yeh I personally can't stand vertical monitors but I do understand the utility when reading long things, coding, or looking at manga

[quasi mantle]

I put it horizontally, because I use it to watch YT or placing visual references

[trail wedge]

looking at reviews I think I'm going to hold off on curved until manufacturing gets better... lots of lines of dead pixels

reminds me of original GameBoy screens

[zinc matrix]

sips coffee

i think i know why so many people give up from projects, beyond the "it is more exciting to start something new than thriving on something rolling on"

usually these are hobbyists; and sometimes you just finish some stuff and they look bad / unpleasant but going back and re-do it is too much effort or do not really worth it

[unreal cedar]

A combination of that + the last 10% being 90% of the work. The fun part is over, why continue?

[zinc matrix]

i am yet to understand the 10% being 90% of the work

or maybe even not :\

but if it is related to debugging stuff i am so screwed

[deep copper]

this is why getting into the habit of finishing stuff is important

most people ignore that and then "i didn't finish that one so why finish this?"

it becomes a feedback loop

[zinc matrix]

mantissa?

i mean, brothers...

MANTISSA 1. the positive fractional part of the representation of a logarithm; in the expression log 643 = 2.808 the mantissa is .808

[deep copper]

huh, that sounds like a word i should be aware of 🤔

Maybe it could help more if MW2 Remastered has even more civilians on screen compared to the original. Would be an absolute bloodbath.

[zinc matrix]

you can pass that mission without killing civilians

[quasi mantle]

Why go pacifist when you can kill them all

It's way less offensive than anime, for sure

[zinc matrix]

what civilians have to people who want to make war?

you want to take a gun and fight, okay. but stay away from people wanting to survive till the next veg meal

dammit

and you still have to fight russians soldiers on that mission

i never tried to just stay covered and let my comrades kill everyone and pass the mission on any level of FPS

[quasi mantle]

Eh, cancel culture is on full force anyway.

I told you, it's way less offensive than anime.

[zinc matrix]

what is cancel culture?

[quasi mantle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancel_culture

[zinc matrix]

hmm

i hope i see thousand of gamers boycotting companies with violent art content

Violent content is here to stay, baby

[zinc matrix]

hahaha

yeah, we were making them for a long time

[quasi mantle]

And guess what, people loved it

[zinc matrix]

yeah, sure, our history is about dripping blood

buuuut, future may hold different visions

i personally do not believe in video-game as an simulation, but here i am working on one very likely it

[quasi mantle]

Bloodshed is where gaming is at, not some fricking silly Asian cartoon game.

[zinc matrix]

wait, do Asian cartoon games have no violence?

i have a wishlist on steam of ~40 games without any competition and violence

[quasi mantle]

No! And they're offensive because of it!

[zinc matrix]

i would love to make it bigger

[zinc matrix]

oh yes, share

plz

[deep copper]

i mean, bloodshed is rare to see in those

[quasi mantle]

(Unfortunately one game that I know of only available in Far East region)

[zinc matrix]

the bloodshed starts when you animate any character holding any piece of wood that will be used to knock cute poorings

think them as guinea-pigs, would you beat them to gain experience?

Death is eternal

i remember talking to some dude that said death is an ongoing process, we are all slowly going to die and we shouldn't fear it, but accept it

it was a weird concept at first as well, but if you look at it, it wasn't that wrong

[deep copper]

how is it doing rn?

[zinc matrix]

they poop everywhere and do not talk in human language

[zinc matrix]

it was jumping of hapiness because i cleaned its cage, dropped a piece of carrot and tomatoes and made a new hut out of old shirts

[deep copper]

that brings up some really unexpected results in gif search lol

[deep copper]

that's sweet 🫂

[zinc matrix]

more of an obligation than anything

i hate caged animals

[quasi mantle]

Might be not what I mean, because they sure do talk in human language, and poop on the neighbour

[zinc matrix]

they make me depressed, even tho they are cute as heck

[deep copper]

yeah but, the later you clean the cage, the more later you will have to clean it again

[zinc matrix]

i like when you chat

about anime rendering

toon stuff is fine

makes perfect sense

boring is that realism calculus of mimicking life

[deep copper]

i don't have ban hammer emote but regular 🔨

[zinc matrix]

when devs. do not even know how to apply IK body in very dynamic situations

[quasi mantle]

But people hated it more, so screw it

[zinc matrix]

clock wise or un-clockwise

[deep copper]

realism is fairly overrated

it was very challenging before so people hold it in high regard

[zinc matrix]

it is a result of mass culture which does not know how to think critically

not that high end realistic art is bad

it is like Hollywood movies era

[quasi mantle]

What do I know, people love real atrocities more than dumb unrealistic cartoon

[zinc matrix]

expensive camera

most of them do not even have a palette of colour to play

and not mention the DEEP histories

evil vs. good

everything goes wrong but i still marry that blonde

etc.

[deep copper]

people basically milk whatever stuff works to the point it becomes generic and, not that good

i mean, it's a working formula, why deviate

you gotta earn and eat with it

[zinc matrix]

it is actually good at some perspective

i doubt indie scene would thrive if big companies invested in prototype every time or with a major revenue

anyway, i can not wait for the next call of duty

it will be so awesome!

[deep copper]

that's true

[deep copper]

i have never played that but isn't that a voilent one?

i am certain you use guns in it

[quasi mantle]

Call of Duty is violent, but not offensive 😏

[zinc matrix]

oh it is mine

i have to use Blender

i am just stretching here a bit

[deep copper]

call of duty is yours 🤔?

[deep copper]

!8ball feel free to stretch all you want here

[turbid spindle]

@deep copper, :8ball: Outlook not so good.

[deep copper]

or not

[zinc matrix]

hehehe

you are cute-ridiculous

[quasi mantle]

Don't worry Manny, you're not an anime character, stretch all you want.

[deep copper]

it is fairly close, only eyes and a line for mouth is missing

and then it's that strong single punch guy

[quasi mantle]

From what I see scrolling up, they seem to be genuinely upset that the anime talk happen at all.

[zinc matrix]

my perception is that they love you

and you do not understand

[quasi mantle]

I'm calling that BS.

[deep copper]

i mean, if they are trying to secretly protect you from carpli, that makes sense

[zinc matrix]

still, you are cleaning the path towards epic toon shaders

can not you feel your gut?

[deep copper]

but carpli sightings never happen in #lounge

[zinc matrix]

welcome, human

[quasi mantle]

I've dealt with assholes like Cralpi in the past numerous times.

[deep copper]

i have seen a few of those

[zinc matrix]

what is Cralpi

[deep copper]

😔

[deep copper]

i have to say it seems fairly good

too

[deep copper]

some dude that has many accounts here and clearly hates any form of anime

[zinc matrix]

kekekekeke

[quasi mantle]

That person is nothing new to me, so people have no reason for "trying to protect me from Cralpi"
He can't stop my liking towards anime.

[deep copper]

i was just being sarcastic, ofc that barely makes sense as a reason

[zinc matrix]

do you know hate is a form of primitivism on internet chat?

[deep copper]

any extreme feeling generally is, but people are so detatched in it that it helps drive things forward, though not always in a good way

[quasi mantle]

Yeah, that'll be too good to be true anyway lmao

[zinc matrix]

yeah... but hate is dumb

[quasi mantle]

If Cralpi was able to blend better, I'm sure he get all the praise.

[deep copper]

and love is blind <3

[zinc matrix]

no it is not

at least i am not allowing myself to unity

ugh!

[quasi mantle]

Don't surrender to Unity

[deep copper]

they don't want to, that's their form of enjoyment

[zinc matrix]

no, the unity feeling we got from "love"

such a broad feeling

..........

[quasi mantle]

What about the Unreal feeling?
Or the Cry feeling? Or the Frostbite feeling?

[zinc matrix]

Godot feel has the best outcome for me

[deep copper]

love is broad yes, which is why it's everywhere, but that also makes it hard to see because of that, it is blind

[zinc matrix]

so that is why BIOLOGY made us with eyes

and i am not refusing its intelligence or refinement

but in the reproduction part i am fine to refuse, btw

[quasi mantle]

And Biology happens to be my least favourite applied science subject

Including reproduction

[deep copper]

humans main sense was eyes if i am not wrong, and people often think eyes are window to the soul or something

[zinc matrix]

i think our gut lies on the tactile

[quasi mantle]

When other students got excited when the lesson reaches into genital part, I just don't.

I had more fascination with Physics, followed by Chemistry

[deep copper]

it feels cringe, the way it is taught

[zinc matrix]

i do not remember about it anymore

but it is not about how the muscles are organized

and some very shallow explanation of what cells lies in certain parts?

[quasi mantle]

Yeah, that shit confuses me to no end at school

[deep copper]

explain why you have fun with shaders and physics here

[zinc matrix]

but everyone knows how to use a genitalia

[deep copper]

they don't go deep because it gets confusing super quick

[quasi mantle]

It goes full circle I guess

[deep copper]

but if you want to know about muscles, anatomy books are great

there was a book "anatomy for sculptures" great from art perspective

[zinc matrix]

or you can use Tinder on a scientific purpose

practical knowledge is superbly superior to written stuff most of the time

[deep copper]

written theory is gathered through practical experiments afterall

[zinc matrix]

actually do not use Tinder

only if you have though skin

[deep copper]

does tinder even work?

[zinc matrix]

for me no

[deep copper]

i have only seen memes on it

[zinc matrix]

but in the past i got some meets

almost had a children actually

[deep copper]

isn't that working a bit too effectively then

i thought that was with someone you knew beforehand though

[zinc matrix]

yeah, actually we managed a friendship of around 3 years before we go crazy on drinks

and head out to a university located at the middle of a forest

i think i would commit suicide if she did not wanted to abort

at least i got my lesson

[quasi mantle]

TBH I don't trust Tinder (or dating apps) at all

It's either getting catfished, scammed, or at most in for some rough time that haunt you for years.

[zinc matrix]

my late uses, were something more about having to pass by too much people to find 2 or 3 worth of a try

it is more for casual sex

and i really do not feel trying monogamy with someone that has nothing in common or very little

[neat sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/space-final-gif-12300478

[quasi mantle]

Well, I personally expecting for long term relationship, so that's why I don't trust dating apps.

[neat sluice]

😅

yeah, more and more people realize that it is bullshit

rate of splitting up is what? 60% or more?

[quasi mantle]

I'd say 80% or more

[zinc matrix]

then you analyse the couples, and usually are very boring relationships

[deep copper]

just don't trust people, no way apps can work if people can't be trusted

atleast that's why i have stayed away from those

[quasi mantle]

Jokes on you, I haven't trusted dating apps for a long time

[deep copper]

yeah, that's often difficult to find

[deep copper]

illusion stares

[quasi mantle]

Not to mention planning yourself to be a more significant person in public, shitty relationship can make or break your future career.

[zinc matrix]

not that much too... but i think for a good one is really difficult

but i am picky as heck

[quasi mantle]

Especially nowadays where people can throw baseless accusations and get away with free clout

[deep copper]

exactly, it eats away too much time, takes effort, mental and physical

[zinc matrix]

that is the mystery, we are baseless in a lot of segments of our lifes

actually i do chat for me on this one

i am fine alone

beyond the blue nature days

[quasi mantle]

I mean, one can accuse you for sexual harassment that never happen and you're getting blasted on the internet for few weeks, even if you never met said person beforehand.

[deep copper]

i read somewhere that instead of finding you gotta "create", basically, make the relationship work if you want to, it won't work itself. manupilate the other person in ways so they act the way you want

[zinc matrix]

that is why i do not intended to get my head on the internet in case i get famous

[quasi mantle]

Turning the girlfriend/wife to be a tomboy-ish woman 😏

[zinc matrix]

i mean, i expose myself here and bla bla bla, but if i quit, it is about ignoring

[zinc matrix]

you have to set it free the loved ones

just in case, the girl in question did not had any children

i was just paranoid of having not condom sex twice at the same place

months later i remembered the episode and called her with my guts all over

i think it was the only time i lost my reason for some hours straight

[quasi mantle]

(the link preview didn't work out lmao)

[zinc matrix]

i read that blog post once

[quasi mantle]

It was huge the first time around

[deep copper]

just the other day someone was accusing an insta account here

[quasi mantle]

That alone what makes me moved from Unity

[zinc matrix]

how about Epic charging you abusive fees after it takes the market for good?

[zinc matrix]

what do you mean?

[deep copper]

haha yes

[deep copper]

someone here was telling people here to report an insta account because it is fake, we weren't presented with any evidence either

nor did they want to take it to court

[zinc matrix]

hm, idk how much people go baseless in their life

but i noticed i do, a lot

but i feels so good being at the moon

sometimes

but the more you pay attention to the inside, and if it was / is real, it is mostly creep stuff

[deep copper]

as they say "ignorance is bliss"

[deep copper]

i mean, that could've been a life changing event

[zinc matrix]

yeah, i would hang myself

[deep copper]

what's it about?

[zinc matrix]

or, brighter the light, the darker the shadow

[deep copper]

😭

thank god it went okay

[quasi mantle]

UE4 being free to use

[deep copper]

that's there yeah

[deep copper]

ah yeah, i think i saw that title during those times

you used unity before it?

[zinc matrix]

have you ever had the feeling that some things happens without you being able to perceive it with your senses?

i still think that girl holds a shared children

it is so creepy and horrible

i think the oldest memory i have of myself telling something to myself was when i was at 5 or 7 year old, thinking that i will never want to have a children

it feels like failing on your main quest

gosh i wish i was gay

[quasi mantle]

Yeah

Nobody used UDK and make project (in particular within local devs)

[deep copper]

yeah that's the worst feeling, the dread

[deep copper]

imagine them returning to you years later

[deep copper]

you can be now <3

jk

[deep copper]

UDK is fairly old from the looks of it

[neat sluice]

iirc UDK also took a huge share of revenue
compared to only 5% UE takes now

[zinc matrix]

i tripled checked with her, i do not believe she would lie about such a great thing

[zinc matrix]

i am happy these days, sure

[deep copper]

I can't find the exact numbers because ue seems to have changed this rule so many times

[cursive crypt]

https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/24/22994814/apple-iphone-hardware-subscription-bundle-report

Behehe

[subtle hatch]

It's already been happening for a long time by making you stick to a mobile service provider if u get the iPhone.

[deep copper]

wasn't apple also known to slow down old iphones?

it seems like, the old devices were lasting longer than they expected so they are switching to subscription instead 🤔

[verbal junco]

I will never ever get an apple product

[trail wedge]

we agree on one thing at least (I do own a few but they were all free and I hate them)

[deep copper]

free apple products?

[trail wedge]

yeh apple users don't care about wasting money on new shit and then give away their old shit

but you knew they were dumb since they bought apple crap

[deep copper]

i guess you can use the old stuff to make those tik toks where people throw stuff from buildings or whatever

[trail wedge]

...btw this was my first computer; so it's not like I started on PC or anything

Apple has just become more and more "Apple" over time... that's not a good thing

[deep copper]

that's not a pc?

[deep copper]

"brand value" i suppose

[trail wedge]

PC usually meant IBM PC or a clone in that era

[deep copper]

i see i see, goes to show apple always stood out from the competitors then

[trail wedge]

nah it's more like Apple wanted to pursue users who wanted the computer to "just do stuff" without any "hassle".... they did this by locking out power users for years, removing options, and setting up walled gardens

[dark sequoia]

herro

[deep copper]

i mean, it's better than having people tamper unnecessarily, i can imagine it being very useful for extremely old people

and non tech savvy users

[trail wedge]

fuck that noise, after you sell me something I'll do what I want with it thank you very much

[trail wedge]

they can learn to use the things they bought.... I don't bitch about not knowing a recipe to the stove company

[deep copper]

that's also true, you basically purchase the hardware too, being capable of using it how you want makes sense in that regard

[deep copper]

[trail wedge]

most old people I know irl won't use any tech at all no matter what if they can avoid it... so I'm not sure that matters much anyway

I mean 75+

since you said extremely old

[deep copper]

i recall old people using , what was it called, featured phones? those button ones

it's way easier than figuring out where to tap and also works if you have vision defects or language issues

[trail wedge]

that name was only created after smartphones came out to differentiate them

I'm assuming you're younger than me

[deep copper]

they also have unique designs compared to a brick like device

[deep copper]

perhaps,

[trail wedge]

I'm 37 lol

[deep copper]

yeah definitely then

[trail wedge]

trust me, my parents' and my grandparents' generations won't use tech stuff most of the time

[deep copper]

wait that's the first note i am adding about you, i am quite certain i have seen you here many times

is this a new account?

[trail wedge]

nope

but I see you're a fellow note taker.... most of my notes are timezones and if people are rude

you have no note on my end lol (mostly a good thing)

[deep copper]

i can imagine, old people have a hard time grasping the tech, specially since it changes so quick, they can follow steps to do something, but apple or any "smart" thing has too many changing actions, erros etc

errors*

[deep copper]

i recall you were the one who changed nicks to blue man i think

[trail wedge]

my fathehr put his foot in the ground and refuses to learn any new computer stuff if he can avoid it, my mom's trying to start using things like streaming, and we can't get my grandmother to use a cell phone at all

[deep copper]

i add notes because forgetting what the other said is rather, rude? imo anyway lol

[deep copper]

that's quite a lot of resistance,

[trail wedge]

oh lol, I did that a few times to mess with people

[dark sequoia]

[deep copper]

i remember teaching my grandma how to turn on radio on that thing, i REALLY had a hard time because you needed to connect earphones to it first, then turn on loudspeaker mode

[trail wedge]

my grandma doesn't like the LCD picture frame my aunt gave her sometimes and just sits it face down

that's how resistant she is

[deep copper]

that's.... way too much, will she not give it away to someone else, perhaps? or does she cherish it as a gift

[trail wedge]

I recently had to install a RaspberryPi as a PBX to filter her landline calls so she'd stop answering the scammers (we couldn't get her to even wait for caller ID)

[trail wedge]

she's 92 so sometimes she's with it and she likes having the photos

[deep copper]

that sounds frustrating, but i like that something was done about it
