[zinc matrix]

Cuz tbh courses are dry af

[deep copper]

i mean, you aren't wrong

courses are pretty lame yeah, but just watch them at 2x or something

don't have to pay attention to every little detail

just , know what they did, and get back to it when you need that method

[zinc matrix]

Also somewhat afraid of getting in the zone of wanting to work on my game itself

But people here tell me to postpone it till I understand the engine

So either way, it's painful

Starts to feel more like a chore than a passion after a while

[deep copper]

if you don't understand the engine "okay" enough, you will get stuck and want to quit the project itself

[zinc matrix]

I mean, I can still ask people for help and that's how I've gotten as far as I have

Of course, that's kinda parasitic

[deep copper]

"as long as it works" but it will tire you out mentally more

[zinc matrix]

Yeah I figured

There's no easy way out

Goddamnit

[deep copper]

you may not be able to tell the exact issue at a point later down this road

[zinc matrix]

Well at least I know my way around booleans

I've done troubleshooting by myself before

But yeah

[deep copper]

tbf, you are exhausted after getting back, i won't blame you for trying to get helped since you are starting out anyway

but for bigger projects it can get a bit ,tough to find personalized help

[zinc matrix]

Yeah

Guess I just gotta force myself to work on the course

[deep copper]

see you are slowly learning this way as well, though maybe not that accurately always

[zinc matrix]

Just hope it's not too painful

[zinc matrix]

I know

[deep copper]

it will be, boring

[zinc matrix]

Fuck

[deep copper]

not really painful as in math painful

but it might make you sleepy if you are exhausted

that's why, just skim through them

if you skim through 1000 tuts, you might retain 1% of them and stitch stuff together

tbh, it's usually a very small amount that's actually valuable for your current understanding anyway

[zinc matrix]

Fuck

[foggy path]

There are no shortcuts fwiw :P

[deep copper]

if you keep accumulating stuff, it works

[zinc matrix]

There's just no winning with this nightmare, is there?

[foggy path]

You don't need to stare at boring tutorials, I usually just worked on random projects to learn

[deep copper]

the only way is brute forcing and fighting it head on...

[foggy path]

If you think of learning new things as a nightmare you might as well quit right now :p

[zinc matrix]

No, man, I gotta do the fucking course on the fundamentals

It's dry, boring, I'm tired, I'm grumpy, but fuck

If I don't make my dream come true, nobody will

[zinc matrix]

No, it's not that

I just dread it and I'm getting more irritable because of my job and school

[foggy path]

This sounds like a really weird thing tbh

You want to learn to do a thing

but you don't want to

:P

[zinc matrix]

Wym?

[regal pecan]

Feeling obligated is not the same as wanting

[zinc matrix]

Well whatever

[regal pecan]

meant that for zomg

[zinc matrix]

Guess I should try committing to at least 1 video lesson a day

[foggy path]

How long are they anyway

[zinc matrix]

And yes you're right

[deep copper]

i would say 2x it, half the time!

[zinc matrix]

Fucking 10 minutes

I guess it's not a big deal

Maybe I'm just getting overwhelmed

[foggy path]

Yeah... 10 minutes of watching a video shouldn't make you this bothered lol

[deep copper]

and ue is massive, while you don't need to know everything, there's other softwares that work with it for asset creation at times so there's also those smaller stuff

[regal pecan]

Treat yourself with food every time you watch a video lesson. Get that unconscious brain hooked.

[foggy path]

You've spent 10 minutes complaining about it already

[deep copper]

make it a habit, doing it with something like food might actually work

[zinc matrix]

It's not just the video itself; it's that it'll trigger the pressure I put on myself to get as much done with my game ASAP, even if I do it haphazardly, and I'll repeat this cycle of impatience and agitation

[deep copper]

do it daily btw

if possible

[zinc matrix]

Like

[deep copper]

leaving one day just makes you stop

[foggy path]

So you either take a chance on actually doing work on it

[zinc matrix]

Fuck, I learned about widgets but what about all the other shit I need?

[foggy path]

Or you do nothing

Which one do you think is better :P

[zinc matrix]

Yeah I guess

Idk

I gotta man up

[deep copper]

"learning is an ongoing process", you can be working on a project and watching tuts on something entirely different as well

[foggy path]

Starting something is always the most difficult

[zinc matrix]

You're right

[deep copper]

you never know what comes in handy with such huge set of tools

[foggy path]

Even if the task itself might not be that challenging it's easier to just not do it lol

and it often seems harder before you get to it

[zinc matrix]

Fine

[deep copper]

wasn't there that shoe company that said "just do it"

[zinc matrix]

Nike yeah, they also use Taiwanese slave labor so fuck them

[deep copper]

i heard someone saying something about a 3 or 5 sec rule too, if you think of something, do it in next 3 or 5 sec or you will never do it

because hesitation or too much planning, overthinking kicks in

[zinc matrix]

Yeah

[deep copper]

i guess they really "just did it" lol

[zinc matrix]

Fuck capitalism

Anyway yeah

Gotta push myself

[deep copper]

i wish you would also say that for me <3

jk

[deep copper]

goodluck! and do rest as well

body first !

[zinc matrix]

Exactly

[deep copper]

that's some quick head movement 🤔

almost like that bird that bangs wood

wood pecker

[primal summit]

Of you decide to go ahead and learn while working on your project, remember one thing: It's often far easier, better, and faster to rewrite what you've already done in a better way than to work around your prior decisions (at least in general).

And spend the time up front on planning. I know it sucks, but map out how things will interact, what they'll do, and how before starting.

[quasi mantle]

Metal headbangers don't match that speed lmao

[foggy path]

Planning is a double edged sword tho - You can get stuck trying to plan for things you don't really know about until you try and build a bunch of things first

But it's good to have at least some ideas for the broad strokes

[deep copper]

they are faster?

[primal summit]

they are

at least the old school thrash metal ones

[deep copper]

just don't end up like those guys who are absolutely hellbent on doing things there way in #cpp or #blueprint at times, like generating landscape on tick etc @zinc matrix

[foggy path]

lol

[quasi mantle]

At least until you had surgery

[deep copper]

because planning can make you want to do things one way only

[primal summit]

indeed

[primal summit]

or retire from the sport early

[deep copper]

what surgery

[foggy path]

I don't think generating landscape on tick counts as a "broad stroke"

[regal pecan]

how have we not mastered synthetic spines already

[quasi mantle]

neck/spine surgery

[deep copper]

ohhh yeah, that movement looks risky even in the gif

[foggy path]

Considering we've barely mastered synthetic anything relating to the nervous system a spine might be a bit off

[quasi mantle]

That's the joke

[deep copper]

ahhh, i got whooshed

[regal pecan]

Hm. I was thinking of just the vertebrae and discs. There's at least one surgery where they screw two vertebrae together and you have to think surely that's not the only thing we can do.

[deep copper]

that sounds, yucky

[primal summit]

not to mention, as one ages and the brain is less buffered against shock, self-induced concussion odds increase

[thin storm]

I actually won in fortnite, but I think there are many bots in this game like pubg.

[celest musk]

we are all bots

[mossy nexus]

Screw that.. 🥁 😄 My spine is trying to fuse itself together and doesn't need anything like that... shudder

[regal pecan]

Functionally it's alright. You end up with one, larger vertebrae, but it's only because they've removed the compromised disc and have no way to replace it. Which you'd think we could invent by now.

[foggy path]

We could but it's more important for billionaires to go to space in phallic rockets

at least Bill Gates is funding medical science

[celest musk]

now imagine the worst corona times without amazon

[quasi mantle]

wut

Something just appeared here before 🤔

[verbal junco]

one of the big issues we have with synthetic approaches is nerves and nerve endings

we don't understand them well enough

[foggy path]

Only in america :P ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[verbal junco]

the other is the potential for bodily rejection

[foggy path]

Yeah

There was some promising results with a genetically modified implanted pig's heart I think though

so there is progress being made

[verbal junco]

growing things is easy

the progress with ghost hearts I think is really good

but that's still relatively isolated

you still have to make that work with an existing body

[foggy path]

Yeah I mean they modified the genes of the pig so that the human host wouldn't reject the heart

[quasi mantle]

Asian parent stereotype is so strong

I once went into math class like that, not for long though, it was like a trial thing

[thick belfry]

Mfw someone says it's not possible anymore to make stylized games in ue5

Fortnite is literally made by epic

[foggy path]

🤔

I wonder if Fortnite uses custom render modes though

which is as far as I know significantly harder to do in UE than it is in Unity

[quasi mantle]

Hold my Idolmaster anime machinima

I'm moving it to UE5

[sage ermine]

Oh man, I really like the new forums

[quasi mantle]

I love the banner image feature lol

[bronze axle]

It's great having profiles where we can show off our projects and stuff.

I think the dev community site is one of the coolest things launched yesterday.

[zinc matrix]

So I'm debating whether or not to buy a PS5 and the Spidey game duology, but those are really the only PlayStation exclusives I care about and the total would be like $900

I also have a friend who has a PS5 and both games and lets me play at his house

Wondering if I should buy them though

What you guys think?

[foggy path]

Can you afford it? :P

[zinc matrix]

Technically yeah

[foggy path]

That sounds like a "no" tbh

:D

[quasi mantle]

Buy it when it's on sale

[zinc matrix]

I can afford it, but if wouldn't be chump change

[zinc matrix]

Probably a smart idea yeah

[foggy path]

Well yeah 900 bucks is not chump change for sure but if it's money you don't need for any other purpose or savings then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quasi mantle]

Also you might have some luck buying second hand ones or refurbished

[zinc matrix]

Nah, I think I'll take Hoodie's advice and wait for a sale

[foggy path]

Yeah it's sensible advice

[zinc matrix]

I'm often reluctant to purchase those cuz there might be a defect the seller doesn't mention

But yeah, waiting for sale sounds good

Fucking Sony

Idc if it's in their legal right, Spidey is practically public domain at this point

Make him all-console

Fuck Sony

[thick belfry]

I was thinking about this today, while watching the Unreal 5 livestream and it reminded me of a story I once heard. A man looked for the greatest general to ever live, and heard that man had already died. So he went to the pearly gates to look for him, and Saint Peter pointed him towards a common looking person. The man said, "that's not the greatest general, I knew that man when he was alive. He was a simple cobbler."
"I know that" said Peter, "but had he been a general, he would have been the greatest of them all"

Why it reminded me of that story is because I look at how accessible unreal is making it for people to not just create games, but have access to so many tools that make it easier to make games. People who would otherwise never have been able to create those experiences, now are able to do so. Gaming hasn't reached it peak at all I think, we are about to see who the greatest generals are

[bronze axle]

Guess who's finally here?

[zinc matrix]

Performing for you?

[quasi mantle]

YESSSS

[zinc matrix]

If you know the words you can join in too

[quasi mantle]

Hail the dragon

[zinc matrix]

A dinosaur? So what?

[quasi mantle]

If you know the original Unreal, you know

[zinc matrix]

Ah

I'm a pleb

[quasi mantle]

Let me get a better link

[quasi mantle]

https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/default-blueprint-sprite/5445/2

There, much better

[zinc matrix]

Wow

[bronze axle]

Long history. It's been around since the very first Unreal Editor.

[zinc matrix]

Ah

[foggy path]

is that what they mean by dragonhell on #cpp

[zinc matrix]

Speaking of which guess I should do those video lessons now

[sage ermine]

they totally should have changed it to a monkey head

[zinc matrix]

Imma stream it in a VC so hopefully someone can help me keep my sanity

[sage ermine]

a pirate monkey head

[quasi mantle]

💨

[zinc matrix]

Speaking of monkeys, have you seen the new Hulu show Hit-Monkey?

[quasi mantle]

(if only there's an emoji to represent force)

[quasi mantle]

No, I don't sub to Hulu

[sage ermine]

ho ho, what is this?

[zinc matrix]

The Hit-Monkey; he's a monkey that's a trained assassin

He's a Marvel character

[quasi mantle]

Ape-ification of agent 47?

[zinc matrix]

Usually fights Deadpool, but he's got his own show now for some reason

[zinc matrix]

Kinda

He doesn't work for the government though

Usually just a hired gun

But yeah, he's a killer monkey

What's not to like?

[quasi mantle]

Also appears everytime you put a fresh billboard component

[zinc matrix]

That's a chimp, but close enough

@sage ermine https://youtu.be/Gc_ZProsnfk

I have no idea what I'm doing with my niagara particle fx 😦

[primal summit]

get out the whip, that CPU is slacking!

[timber viper]

Convert your slides to dark theme and I'll buy twice

Yes this is a bribery

[fringe plaza]

Discord should remove the option for light mode

[primal summit]

nah

[timber viper]

What a wiseful offer

You're right

[primal summit]

light should ben dark grey, dark should be darket, and black should be black

[celest musk]

no

[primal summit]

but they'll have to add an alternate for the photon-lovers

dark blue on neon green

[celest musk]

they should add custom themes

like you could use your own css file on some pages 😛

[timber viper]

[primal summit]

[quasi mantle]

This

[celest musk]

.user_AtankWithPotatoes { display: none; }

[timber viper]

What a handsome man

[quasi mantle]

But knowing Discord being Discord, I'm sure they're going to paywall custom theme behind Nitro

[timber viper]

Custom themes for servers coughs blood

Make #cpp deep black for a punishment as going off topic

[celest musk]

well basically most modern browsers allow you do inject custom css and such

[timber viper]

(BetterDiscord) is a suspicious and unsecure plugin allows you to add waifus to discord bg

[primal summit]

there is a discord web portal

[quasi mantle]

You know me so well

[timber viper]

I'm waiting for the phase in my life that I'll use Slack and dislike people using Discord

[primal summit]

when plz?

[timber viper]

Guess who also uses r1der

[slate drift]

The plugin seems amazing, would definitely consider to buy it to see how the tank 🧠 works

[timber viper]

No you are not my relative

[primal summit]

someone would manage to turn custom themes into a background crypto miner...

[slate drift]

Hmm let me look into that as well

@timber viper This is you, right?

[timber viper]

yeah

[slate drift]

I'm a hacker

[timber viper]

😮

the way you drew a line in paint though 😄

[slate drift]

Old school hacker tho

[timber viper]

Yes

I'm about to release a playable demo build

[slate drift]

Yeah I like it too 🤟🏻

[timber viper]

I haven't yet, but I have some goodies in my project so maybe after open-sourcing them I might try my luck

[slate drift]

That's a personal project?

[timber viper]

Yep

[slate drift]

I envy you guys for having the time to work on personal projects!

Good job

[timber viper]

I don't work at anywhere and didn't go to college just to work on my personal project 😄

I had to sacrifice tons of job offers though

[slate drift]

Honestly this was my plan like 3 years ago, but you know parents...

I ended up doing a CS degree which I feel good about

[timber viper]

That's also something to be proud of 😄

[slate drift]

I haven't graduated yet lol

I mean these stuff can be self-taught but still they give you tools/skills and stuff

[timber viper]

I thought CS people are some sort of special

Like Carmack

[primal summit]

I'm trying to find the time to learn game dev while homesteading an acre in the mountains, a 45 minute drive each way from my automation engineering job

[slate drift]

Yeah it's crazy how most of these people who have bright names in the industry have a CS degree, but still I guess there are workarounds

[quasi mantle]

Well, at least being a CS graduate can give you free visa

[primal summit]

success rate's pretty low for me

[quasi mantle]

Though only in first/second world universities

[slate drift]

Free visa to what?

[timber viper]

I met many seniors and only the ones had a CS degree was special, so I guess there is a wizardy behind it that only college provides you

[quasi mantle]

Free visa to go anywhere you want of course

[slate drift]

Yeah that's the point. It's like doing a CS degree and trying to get better at GameDev

[primal summit]

yep

[quasi mantle]

That's the key to working overseas

[slate drift]

There is like no fucking time

[slate drift]

Nice, including the states?

[timber viper]

What I mean by special is being able to work on different frameworks and adapting to everything very easily, and literally solving most of the complex problems on their owns

[primal summit]

priorities, and robotics and the land win

[quasi mantle]

I guess so

[timber viper]

solving most of the complex problems on their owns
I can't imagine a life without #cpp for myself

[slate drift]

Wow, I mean I wanna end up moving to the states at some point as my country barely knows what unreal engine even means

[quasi mantle]

Every overseas work that I see require visa to move out, and seems like only being a reputable uni graduate can get you free (excuse to get) visa without prior experience on other reputable studios

If that isn't the case, I would've lived somewhere else by now and working for a good studio lol

[slate drift]

Exactly that's it. I have a friend from the states, that has a job in Obsidian and he has no degree whatsoever. Though he told me how a CS degree can be a game changer

[slate drift]

Well some, and sadly this is the small part, provide relocation support and visa

But you know, for such jobs you have like thousands applying lol

[quasi mantle]

One can say "you gotta start somewhere", but in some cases that somewhere led you to nowhere. Oh well.

Gotta enjoy the low paying local jobs.

[slate drift]

Lol, same. From the time I came there, I feel like there are magic powers making me wanna stay there. #multiplayer included

[slate drift]

Literally. I mean my current job isn't local, but remote. Not the same level of hype you have when doing onsite

But I needed it so bad, considering the fact that there are no local UE jobs lol

[quasi mantle]

Not to mention being a remote job, they don't always provide equipment that's up to the task. If your equipment sucks (like what I have - a potato), then you're not going to be as productive as others.

My crappy equipment is what holds me back from taking remote jobs tbh

[slate drift]

100%. Thanks god mine is really good

[quasi mantle]

Well, I guess I'm just unlucky

[primal summit]

my internet is a big issue for me trying remote

[slate drift]

I feel ya

[primal summit]

8 meg dsl is the only option

[quasi mantle]

Barely got anything to save after paying all the bills and food

[slate drift]

Can relate. Though we all have a bad internet at the team, somehow lol

So it's good

[quasi mantle]

Thus I'm stuck with potato that almost like kicking the bucket at certain times.
Not to mention third world country internet

[primal summit]

where at if I can ask?

[slate drift]

Yeah that's the sad fact about life

[quasi mantle]

Me?

[primal summit]

yeah

[quasi mantle]

Indonesia

[primal summit]

ahh

[quasi mantle]

A third world country.

[timber viper]

Do you think Malaysia is better than Indenosia in terms of living quality?

[slate drift]

I dream of going to Bali

[timber viper]

Bali is awesome

I want to go there too

[slate drift]

Bali is heaven

[quasi mantle]

Probably, but I only heard of stories
Singapore would be better than both combined

[next flint]

@floral nexus I love those glowing mushrooms, they look great!

[primal summit]

by the original definition, anything outside the USSR, USA, and Britain was the third world

[quasi mantle]

Unfortunately I'm not in Bali island lol

[slate drift]

All I know about Singapore is that it's too expensive lol

[primal summit]

basically, those not primary in the cold war

[quasi mantle]

Well, from what I see, they live in similar way the rich countries would

Apart from that, I have no idea.

Still, even with all the exotic natural tourism targets, life still suck here, at least as someone who is passionate on game development

[timber viper]

What matters is how locals live tbh

That determines the destiny of a country

[slate drift]

Yeah it's a rich and developed country indeed

[quasi mantle]

I know Java island is a total mixbag in that regard

[timber viper]

How much states Indonesia has?

[quasi mantle]

Not states, but provinces. About 33 of them.

[slate drift]

Well that's the sad fact of living anywhere outside the US and western European countries

[quasi mantle]

Though granted each province is so different, it might as well be their own states lol

[quasi mantle]

Or maybe outside Australia to certain extent

[timber viper]

If I'm not confusing with Malaysia, I remember there was states/regions/provinces around 1k

You name them, I dont remember if it was states or provinces

[quasi mantle]

I don't know much about Malaysian geographies tbh

[timber viper]

You seem to dont care at all lol

[slate drift]

Anywhere that English is the native language, it's a good place to live and work in the game industry lol

[timber viper]

Like "just get me outta here"

[timber viper]

Denmark, Finland and Germany also nice though

[quasi mantle]

Pretty much that yeah
Living in here just sucks as frick, and nobody seem going to change that

[timber viper]

Reasonable

[quasi mantle]

Well, northern east Asia to same extent too

[slate drift]

True, but you need to learn their language in order to be able to communicate comfortably

[quasi mantle]

I wish I could change something about this, but not with power that I'm lacking by now

[timber viper]

Well, aren't you very knowledged about #graphics or #animation generally

Why no studios intereted in you?

Job posts raving about animators and technical artists these days from what I can see

[slate drift]

UE5 will, learn it as quick as possible and be a pioneer UE5 dev and get a job overseas...ez

[quasi mantle]

I don't know, though granted I haven't fill my artstation profile

Besides I self taught animation stuff by making fanmade stuff

Not sure if that's even worth putting on AS

[slate drift]

Well this is what makes most of us not to land on good jobs. Sadly it's because we don't present our skills the right way

[quasi mantle]

But I don't have visa and passport 🙃
My last education was high school

That'll put salt on my injury lol

[slate drift]

I'm planning on making a portfolio website in a few months

[quasi mantle]

I'd love to, but I'm not sure if it's worth putting them in ArtStation
Considering it's fanmade of existing IP, and using premade assets (apart from the animation stuff)

[timber viper]

That doesnt matter though. There are people know these topics more than me for sure but I saw very idiot people get into roles and migrate to overseas by networking only. Like a friend of me shipped a broken game to Steam and he was the reason why it was broken. But team didn't declare that and he managed to work on Ubisoft as jr programmer just because he had that game on his portfolio

[quasi mantle]

When everyone else seem to make everything on display from scratch in AS

[slate drift]

Still. Experience > Education for a good amount of studios. From an engineering pov, I can swear by the amount of studios that don't give a fuck about your education

Pretty sure it's the same for art/animation roles

[quasi mantle]

Well, I don't know if it's ethical to put premade meshes on ArtStation (as in the assets were siphoned from a game's official repository, and it's fanmade because it is my fun excuse to learn technical animation stuff)

I'm already thinking of just putting them on YouTube, but doubt that'll fly if I embed it to AS

[slate drift]

It's definitely a good idea to start publishing your work there. You will get recognized by big name artists and companies bit by bit

It's really a matter of time

[quasi mantle]

I guess I'm just too nervous of being not using assets made from scratch, even though the materials, animations, and the BPs are.

[slate drift]

I guess you have to ask the artists who made them, and maybe give them credit somewhere

But Artstation should be your home eventually

[quasi mantle]

Welp, it's a machinima, so they're pretty much siphoned from the direct source

[rare sparrow]

Procedural generation can be funny sometimes

[quasi mantle]

||(rather a blunt way of saying they're ripped, but not exactly hacking as the game server is accessible)||

[slate drift]

Yeah I feel you, I guess I seen stuff on artstation where they credit the artist who made the model, and who did some other thing, etc

[quasi mantle]

I loved the game series, so much so that I made machinimas with the official assets with UE4 (and soon UE5 once I get the modifications from my custom 4.27 working)

[green current]

There's a huge difference between ripping assets and using assets that are on market places in a portfolio though

[quasi mantle]

And frankly I learned a lot in the process

Which give me ability to answer many questions on #animation

[quasi mantle]

Which is why I'm still holding back from including it in ArtStation, considering it's a machinima with ripped assets (regardless if it's labour of love)

Some of the knowledge do got dumped to this server and my original game project

[green current]

Could always do machinima for YouTube and swap characters for art station

[quasi mantle]

But at the moment it's not in a presentable state

[slate drift]

I recently read a tip from a veteran game developer, that if you wanna get good at something, help others do that thing. And since then I'm helping people in the programming/networking channels

[quasi mantle]

Hmm... They're not compatible with Unreal skeleton, maybe I have to go through the hassle of making the anims all over again, which might as well do it for my original project...

[pearl elk]

I think I might go back to using UDK

[slate drift]

https://tenor.com/view/why-huh-but-why-gif-13199396

But in the end, I don't think helping other people in a Discord server is even worth a qualification, though I still love answering questions if I know what's happening with it.

[slate drift]

Your clients waiting for you to update the plugins be like:

[slate drift]

Lowkey you're right, but still you get better at what you do by helping others which is a win-win

You got yourself a buyer

I will start with the Tick one to see how it goes

If I find it interesting I will buy the Options one 😛

[timber viper]

Did the options plugin worth it though lol

Docs has more text than my utility system

Did you earn enough to make it worth

[slate drift]

Even though it doesn't make the sellings he wants, he's stashing experience

[timber viper]

So you sold/developed same plugin for two studios?

Is that legal 😅

[slate drift]

Haha smart

[timber viper]

Nice

[slate drift]

That's it, so it's no easy job to extend/integrate it whatsoever

[quasi mantle]

I guess so
Though I learn more by doing self experimentations, and I answer with what I already know

[timber viper]

I really should find a PayPal account to publish my plugins too

Why would a government block paypal

[slate drift]

That's the thing, self experimenting > helping others

[slate drift]

But if you have time for the latter it's good

[quasi mantle]

Turkey blocks PayPal?

[timber viper]

Yeah

Like Iran,Cuba etc

[quasi mantle]

So you can't make account or withdraw from it?

[timber viper]

Nope

[quasi mantle]

Indonesia can't deposit to paypal, but at least they still allow account ownership and withdrawal

[timber viper]

Epic migrated to Hyperwallet and destroyed my financial stability

[slate drift]

So you update the plugin and then integrate it into the team project? I thought you did work only the project version and then after you are finished with them you push stuff to the marketplace plugin

Or probably worked on two different versions

[quasi mantle]

Well, I don't interact with #cpp much, so yeah

#animation is more of my forte hehehe

[timber viper]

You are saving yourself from brain damage

[quasi mantle]

I think I already got few from writing my own shitty code 😛

looks at my over reliance on Kismet libs

[slate drift]

Yeah, only time can tell. I have been actively here for like two months and I can only say good things. Literally my skills and the info/resources I got from the people here is amazing

[timber viper]

You heretic

[slate drift]

I see

[quasi mantle]

I'm a Hexen of myself in terms of C++

#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"

Well, if FMath doesn't have the same function, I just go full on UKismetMathLibrary lol

Sorry y'all

[slate drift]

Yeah people become Cralpi lol

[quasi mantle]

Good grief

At least he didn't storm my DM

[slate drift]

You were there at the time? lol

[quasi mantle]

I was basically his catalyst

He first stormed in #animation, which coincidentally the channel I frequent on

[slate drift]

Lmao. Such a loss I missed that

Ah now I started connecting the dots heh

Lol was he more aggressive than Cralpi?

[quasi mantle]

Still, safe to say I'm not proud of that one

[slate drift]

What channels did he storm?

Lmfao

[quasi mantle]

First #animation, then #cpp, then #ue4-general with alt accounts

[slate drift]

The funny thing is that all these funny stories happen in #cpp lol

[slate drift]

Ah ok

[quasi mantle]

#cpp is like THE saloon of this server

You know in wild west movies, many fights happen in saloon/pubs

[slate drift]

Literally. I see people asking there mp and BP questions

Sometimes

Which is funny

I haven't laughed this hard since a while, you guys made my day

[quasi mantle]

Dangit, I keep forgetting that Control Rig is still disabled by default in 4.27

[zinc matrix]

Good afternoon loungers

have a good day

[quasi mantle]

looks at clock 11:42

(I can't use 12-hour suffixes lmao)

The former

[slate drift]

Mine is 8am but I've been awake since yesterday

FSR I thought you were from the states

[broken sigil]

Feel like I missed something

[slate drift]

Lol, I have my last exam on Friday, so I had to

Ah ok pm

not am lol

[slate drift]

Goes and edits his time

I keep forgetting about them. I use 24h system

I'm, but I already got used to 24h that it's hard for mind to accept new stuff

I have a friend over there btw

[slate drift]

You might now him

Talking like Canada is two neighborhoods

[broken sigil]

6:45AM 😐

[slate drift]

You compiling UE5 source too ? lol

[broken sigil]

Updating a custom branch to 5.0 😅

[slate drift]

Yeah it's crazy

[zinc matrix]

says good (insert time of day)

WOW TIMEZONES WOOOWWW

[quasi mantle]

I'm still downloading the prerequisites lol

Because I didn't clone 5.0 source until stable yesterday lol

[slate drift]

That was hella fast

What did you work on?

[quasi mantle]

I tried cherry picking my commits from 4.27, but it made a mess lol

[broken sigil]

That's all top secret NDA stuff 😛
Or you mean like which CPU?

[broken sigil]

I usually cherry pick stuff but this time just tried rebasing our branch which seems to be working much better than expected

The city demo will wait for the better days when I decide to leave my house and buy another SSD

[slate drift]

I meant in general, but yeah I felt like it's NDA stuff before I asked ㊙️

Daaang you work on CPU stuff?(I don't think that's what you meant, but better ask)

[quasi mantle]

If it werent for my machinima project, I wouldn't have forked 5.0 lol

At least because of it I can simply cherry pick the commit in the future for 5.x

[broken sigil]

I wish lol

[slate drift]

Haha yeah that's like top hard stuff that I won't dare even to look into xD

I wanted to say that finally I can go to sleep comfortably but then this came

[broken sigil]

Some "healthy" food while waiting for the engine to build 😅

[quasi mantle]

My original game project stays at 4.27, because it need to work on low end hardware.
So without the machinima project, I wouldn't have any incentive to fork 5.0

[pearl elk]

donut is now compiling

[quasi mantle]

At least few weeks from now I can answer those dang #animation questions from UE5

I've been wanting to answer those, but can't, because I don't use UE5 preview builds

[slate drift]

Ok this made me cry as I'm fasting

[broken sigil]

Btw watch this if you are interested in that type of stuff, it's pretty cool
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLowKtXNTBypFbtuVMUVXNR0z1mu7dp7eH

[quasi mantle]

Wait, you're Ramadan fasting too?

[slate drift]

Yes lol

[quasi mantle]

High five for Ramadan fasting gang🖐️

[broken sigil]

Do you want me to describe how good it tastes? 😛

[slate drift]

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[quasi mantle]

#food

ehem

[slate drift]

I'm taking a course that has to do with this probably next semester 😛

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/shhh-shush-silence-nose-gif-17895433

[slate drift]

Haha you're fasting too right

[quasi mantle]

Yup

[slate drift]

Nice

True you're Indonesian :faceslap:

By the way how many hours do you fast

Cuz it varies from region to another

[quasi mantle]

Around 04:20 (nice) to 17:40

[slate drift]

You guys are damn lucky

[quasi mantle]

So around 12 hours

Well, benefit of living in equators xD

[slate drift]

We fast from 5:00 to 19:10

[broken sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-24177057

[slate drift]

So like 14 hours

[quasi mantle]

I feel ya xD

[slate drift]

Better if you buy a new disk already

[broken sigil]

Yeah... have to leave my house for that 😅

[quasi mantle]

Wait before his SSD hit the I/O limit 😆

Though that makes me wonder, how durable SSDs are for such heavy job
mechanical HDs aren't strictly limited to how many I/O is performed

Not to mention moving the folder where Unreal Engine source build is located means rebuilding the entire thing

[broken sigil]

Well this one is rated for like 2.5k TB writes so I sure hope it lasts that much

[quasi mantle]

Also, now that we have emoji...
Blueprint BAD icon emoji when 😏

[slate drift]

I don't care as I get faster operations and I don't hear that disk turning with the needle sound

[quasi mantle]

The I/O limit is still holds me back from buying one tbh

[broken sigil]

The oldest SSD I have is a SATA one from like 3 or 4 years ago
Still seems to be working fine

🤷‍♂️

[slate drift]

Wait so that means, after that number is reached the SSD won't work anymore

Jeez

[broken sigil]

but the oldest HDD I have is like 10 years old at this point lol

[quasi mantle]

Yeah, pretty much that

[broken sigil]

Yeah, never had one fail so far so not sure what exactly happens but I do know some apparently still let you read from it but can't write anything to it

[slate drift]

Goes and buys himself a HDD

[quasi mantle]

HDDs aren't restricted to such thing, but I/O speed is slow by today's standard

[broken sigil]

For long term reliable storage I would still keep a HDD around

[quasi mantle]

Also I think building Unreal Engine source code is bottlenecked by HDD I/O speed more

Because it seems that even with humble 2 core CPU, C++ compiles just fast

But then when it took long, disk activity seem to hit the peak

[broken sigil]

I need to get an NVME SSD, the sata ones become a bottleneck with 32 threads

[slate drift]

I mean yeah. I used to compile my c++ projects years ago on a HDD, but man that was a hell of a nightmare

[slate drift]

Hmm I see why the NVME is better then. I guess I have SATA

[quasi mantle]

NVME is currently the most expensive ones though

But the speed gain seem to be like having your ear fully clear from ear waxes clogging up

[slate drift]

Haha sadly yes

[green current]

I keep getting this in my youtube suggestions and every time my brain goes, oh is that a Nanite demo? before reading the title

[quasi mantle]

Well, lucky me not salting myself over UE5 videos lol

There's no point for me to keep looking at them when I can't leverage it

I think that myself watching too many of those UE5 videos could lead to contemplating life, leading to insecurity and eventually go mentally insane to the point of accumulating suicidal thoughts

At least my YouTube feeds are still mostly UE4, some anime stuff, retro tech, and music

Those kept me less insecure tbh

[zinc matrix]

tutorial titles used to have UE4 in them

now they have UE4/UE5

it's becoming UE5 day by day

[quasi mantle]

If not outright just UE5

[zinc matrix]

how long do we have left?

[broken sigil]

I thought the exact same thing when I saw the thumbnail lol

[quasi mantle]

Probably a few more months

Then maybe I could cut off UE from my YT feed if I still living a shit life with potato equipment held by duct tape (literally; few parts are mechanically broken already)

[green current]

Might as well include both if there's no major differences for the particular tutorial

[quasi mantle]

Collecting the savings would take me years and still won't have enough to buy a new gaming PC/laptop with current income rate
Still lucky that my YT feed isn't intoxicated by UE5 stuff

Most I can do to keep my insecurity at bay.

Now all I can do is try to see if UE5 is friendly to potatoes with all the fancy features away, and maybe get the low budget MMD machinima community on board. They are more appreciative with potatoes.

Be a racist. Aint nothing in this world that says you cant. The world is yours. Im not saying anyone's gonna like you though...

[quasi mantle]

Bashing on the poor is less unlikeable tho

[zinc matrix]

that was supposed to be ironically inspirational haha

[quasi mantle]

Tell someone "just buy a new hardware lol" even if he's in less fortunate circumstances, and you still have enough people on your side

[zinc matrix]

When did we start talking about freaking poor people

I'm confused

[quasi mantle]

Just thinking out loud

Because it seems like it when I look at online forums and whatnot

[pearl elk]

Man those poor people aye, dirtying up the streets, why dont they just get a job

Spiderman in particular, what a slacker, leaving webs around for other people to clean up pfft he's really not THAT friendly

[cursive crypt]

They NPCs

[zinc matrix]

smh just make wise investment decisions, now buy my scam course on how to sell products and make your first million™️

Oh yea because being a scumbag loser communist did everyone any good haha

[quasi mantle]

NGL I kept thinking about quitting game development altogether
Sometimes wished I don't learn Unreal Engine

[cursive crypt]

Bye!

[quasi mantle]

That faithful year of 2017

Not to mention I'm getting nowhere even with my knowing of UE, when the demand ask for something else entirely

[pearl elk]

game development is overrated

its great to feel totally excluded all the time because you dont fit in the AAA or indie boxes

[quasi mantle]

Sometimes wished I don't get into UE, so that I won't have this fucking insecurities

[zinc matrix]

I prefer game degradation

This is some rent

Rant*

[cursive crypt]

What is the opposite of AAA?

ZZZ?

[zinc matrix]

not the best joke give events...

[deep copper]

not ZZZ but zzz

[quasi mantle]

Who knows if I have less anxiety if I don't delve into UE, but eh, too late to turn back already

[cursive crypt]

Actually it is 555.

taps head

hex magic

[fringe plaza]

Yes I deleted my comment cause it was too spicy

[deep copper]

i think moa said this once "hindsight is 20/20" , you took the best decision you could in the past, don't beat yourself over all the IFs now :D

[zinc matrix]

Such a wonderful conversation

[quasi mantle]

Still, though, all of those UE5 talk and I already had some anxiety. Left behind dusted duct tapes
No "comfort zone" of UE4 and potato on my side, at least in this server.

[pearl elk]

all you need to do is half arse making a game and piss everyone off, thats about all it takes for modern game dev

[quasi mantle]

At least YT algorithm is still my go to echo chamber

(and the machinima/anime community)

[cursive crypt]

Put superman as waifu, it will sell.

[quasi mantle]

Who waifu'd Superman anyway?

[deep copper]

strivvy i would imagine

[quasi mantle]

Spiderman would make more sense because Peni Parker

[deep copper]

ue IS quite hard on potatoes yeah, however, haven't you already done a lot to make it work out better? 🤔

[pearl elk]

Spider Gwenom 🫀

[quasi mantle]

Well, I did, with UE4

But now everyone's talking about UE5
I was hoping UE5 would release way later into the summer, but yeah

I pushed UE4's 3D rendering feature set so hard to work on low spec while at the same time getting good graphics

[deep copper]

just because ue5 is out, i don't think ue4 is suddenly outdated, specially for low ends? besides the earlier it releases the more info on the engine would be out sooner

[cursive crypt]

Also add gacha.

Gotta keep that gambling up.

[quasi mantle]

I'm against gacha, contrary to most anime fans

[pearl elk]

wait whats wrong with UE5?

[quasi mantle]

I hated Genshin Impact because of it

[deep copper]

more info = easier modification? i don't understand modification too well but i think that might help

[cursive crypt]

No, you add waifus and gachas if you want to succeed. Also dark souls.

[green current]

Yeah if you want UE5 to run on average hardware, you just turn off all the big features and it's running like UE4 does

[deep copper]

so your plan still works then right, of only taking the few features you want

[quasi mantle]

Felt like some of the saving grace I had in UE4 is omitted from UE5

[deep copper]

i thought ue5 was ue4 compatible? did they remove a lot of stuff?

[zinc matrix]

Lotsa nerdspeak here lik

Lol

[deep copper]

i mean, all the popular anime games HAVE gacha

so there must be something that pulls people in

[quasi mantle]

Not many, at least SSGI is still there, but I don't have major perf dip with LPV, while it gave decent dynamic GI

[green current]

Tessellation was the only thing removed that people are annoyed about

[quasi mantle]

And in UE5 I can only use SSGI

At least looking at my stat, LPV isn't the main offender

[quasi mantle]

*most

If not gacha, it'd be DLC fest

[quasi mantle]

At least they should've kept it for non Nanite meshes, but tbf it's not cross platform either

[floral nexus]

thanks 😳

[deep copper]

hmm, so... ue5 kinda let you down i assume? because lighting is quite vital specially with performance trade-offs

[pearl elk]

tbh if your pipeline is pretty solid on UE4s features Id just roll with it, there were plenty of UE3 games coming out after UE4s release

[zinc matrix]

all hail rocket league

[green current]

The vast majority of UE5 games aren't going to be using lumen anyway

At least for a few years

[pearl elk]

the logo is powered by unreal engine doesnt really say which version

[deep copper]

tbh when i see powered by ue in any game i automatically assume it's a huge size download lol

[quasi mantle]

Yeah. For one UE4 has LPV that somehow actually worked and not taking huge dent in my stat compared to other elements.

[cursive crypt]

Engine is helpful tool, but not stopping. 4.27 is quite stable.

[quasi mantle]

I tested it with no sky lights and no SSGI once, so no other feature fooling me

[cursive crypt]

Is my turn to rant?
I can't see what I have watched on the new Learning portal :/

[quasi mantle]

Sure, I ran out of contemplating tears anyway

[cursive crypt]

It is much more snappy tho, the new dev portal. Like the speed.

[quasi mantle]

#ue5-general

[deep copper]

what do you plan to do now though?

[cursive crypt]

Gosh... there tons of snippets already.

[quasi mantle]

I'm going to distract myself with some daytime remote job for now.

At least it doesn't demand fancy equipment

[deep copper]

hmmmm alright

[quasi mantle]

Just making vector graphic designs, surely not that demanding for remote work hardware side

[deep copper]

well it's better than worrying about ue5 for now, meanwhile you can also figure out what to do with this

[quasi mantle]

I'd prefer not to think about UE5's new rendering features until I somehow got myself better hardware

As for this server, I'll try focus on just UE4 questions, if there's any that is.

[deep copper]

true, the ones who will have questions are definitely going to use ue5 now

[quasi mantle]

I'd still try to skip them.
The last thing I want to see myself getting into is hardware theft

I don't want to go that desperate into crime.

[deep copper]

" for the glory of "

[quasi mantle]

I guess it's a funny headline, "Local man stole gaming computer just to run Unreal Engine 5 - hopes to help others with UE5 and make good things with it"
But nah, that's too much to risk for a funny headline

[green current]

Part of the reason I got a new GPU was hardware envy for what I've been putting together at work

[cursive crypt]

While I will repeat that you don't need much of hardware to make games, I do think pride plays a big role and I have fallen for it too.

[deep copper]

"hardware envy"?

[green current]

8x 1080ti, 8tb SSD storage, 768gb ram servers

[deep copper]

:/

[green current]

That I don't get to play with

[quasi mantle]

Looking at fancy hardware that you don't get to own, and then get depressingly envy over it.

[quasi mantle]

I guess it's what happen

[deep copper]

that's quite a torture

[quasi mantle]

Patience + losing sense of security is a torture

Even though I don't want to say it as "torture"

no matter how good ue5 looks

still it's all about basics

😄

[quasi mantle]

sigh if only local used hardware market is as friendly as the northern hemisphere...

We basically use things until it's very death heheheheh

Second hand stuff sold in usable condition is rarer because of it and can go for exorbitant amount of price

[deep copper]

"what doesn't kills you makes you stronger"

or costly in this case

[quasi mantle]

If it kills you, you can't go any stronger

[deep copper]

you probably can't go at all then

[quasi mantle]

Well, if you're already dead, how can you go stronger after the fact?

Sentient zombies aren't real, that's for sure

[deep copper]

i wish they were 😢

[quasi mantle]

Felt like making boomer shooters with UE4 is overkill, but at the same time GPL sucks

Especially now that I deleted 4.26 and 4.27 no longer support 32-bit

[rare mauve]

32 bit... ?

[pearl elk]

I remember when UDK went 64bit everyone was like...

https://tenor.com/view/no-noo-nooo-noooo-nooooo-gif-5463928

[acoustic ledge]

So, I thought that with the full release of 5.0 that a lot of plugin developers would be ready to update, but I'm not seeing this

[quasi mantle]

I have my reasonings to support 32-bit build 😔

Yeah, it's the same old song again

[rare mauve]

[quasi mantle]

I mean, why would a boomer shooter, dumb tools, hypercasual game that kind of stuff, won't run in 32-bit

[pearl elk]

what platform you targeting that doesnt support 64bit?

[quasi mantle]

Mac OS, but I don't care about Mac

So basically none

[rare mauve]

If you're using a 32 bit pc in 2022 then I am truly sorry for you

If you think 32 bit hardware still has a reason to be made, then no, it doesn't (I mean... As far as games etc)

[quasi mantle]

Don't have to be that sorry on me, my potato is 64 bit, as much shit as she is

[pearl elk]

according to the Googles macOS has been 64bit since Catalina

[quasi mantle]

But it's shit nonetheless

[rare mauve]

Then why are you slightly defending an obsolete architecture that has absolutely zero benefits... 32 vs 64 isn't like analog vs digital 😄

[pearl elk]

Well you could say 32bit apps use less memory and be correct but youre also limiting maximum memory

[rare mauve]

No they don't. Apps that use less memory use less memory

[quasi mantle]

I guess just my brain being my brain, thinking that dumb tools, boomer shooter, and casual game should be work on 32-bit

Granted, I'm a poor idiot, no surprise

[pearl elk]

64bit requires more space for addressing

[quasi mantle]

As if me thinking of supporting low end integrated gpu hardware wasn't stupid enough as it is

[rare mauve]

Ok fine, a 32 bit app that takes 2000MB of memory might use 2000.5MB of memory on 64 bit

[quasi mantle]

As if my side projects are going to take 2 GB of RAM

[cursive crypt]

Dude, take a break you been pitying yourself for the past few hours. Change the scenery. Do something different.

[pearl elk]

maybe you should just give up on the boomer shooter and play Valorant

[quasi mantle]

Sure, my dumb tools are going to take 2 GB of RAM, even though it's bare Engine minimum of Unreal

And some of my dumb tools are native apps

[pearl elk]

oh looks like even Valorant doesnt support 32bit

but the min specs are Intel HD 4000

[quasi mantle]

I'd play valorant, but I'm not into competitive shooters

Would prefer more dicking around death match sessions

[pearl elk]

deathmatch sounds abit grim

[broken sigil]

Trust me that's a good thing 😅

[pearl elk]

maybe you should call it rainbow unicorn hyper icecream splash match

[quasi mantle]

Not if it's inconsequential "just good time" classic doom deathmatch

Had some fun playing in custom Odamex servers

[pearl elk]

whats a doom, that sounds abit grim too... does it match my hair dye?

[quasi mantle]

Well, majority of thrashy metal musicians don't (seem to) colour their hairs
(even though it stem from punk rock, funnily enough)

[pearl elk]

oh I know punk rock

I used to listen to this little old band called Sex Pistols

is that like a boomer shooter?

I wonder what kinda shooter Bon Jovi or Bruce Springsteen would be

[unreal ether]

Havent heard that name in a while

[quasi mantle]

Well, now that you said it
I can't imagine what would be like if boomer shooters and punk rock fusioned together

[quasi mantle]

Don't blame yourself. The Queen aged better than them.

[pearl elk]

well I played this boomer shooter called Kingpin and it had minimalist ambient gangster rap

[quasi mantle]

Wonder what's the news on the remaster now

The news said it's delayed to 2021, but it's 2022 and doesn't seem to be any news on it

[pearl elk]

Did you know that both Cypress Hill and Metallica have a Black album

bit grim for rainbow unicorn extra latte frappichino icecream match though

or maybe choose a metal band with a female lead

then you can really pull that goth crowd

[deep copper]

are you a goth?

nah Im a moth

[unreal ether]

Genshin impact is just child labour

Damn even anime fighting games is just children throwing planets n stuff at each other

Hang on my sausage mcmuffin has an rspca approval mark

[cursive crypt]

My fav hero!

[unreal ether]

Why is the Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals approving sausage

Sausage making seems pretty cruel all things considered

I mean i wouldnt wanna be killed and squished

[deep copper]

be careful, the sausage could be poisoned

if they take out the demand, the small sacrifices would be worth it

[unreal ether]

Oh damn

[deep copper]

feed them to me so i can poison test them for you <3

[unreal ether]

Ill have to fight back by making plants out of meat, kind of like all of the plant based meat substitutes

You wanna make a burger out of beans?

I fire back with my meat lettuce

[deep copper]

[unreal ether]

I shall call my new brand "Still" meat

I shall rival beyond

Become a corporate empire

Then i shall gift other countries with greggs

World domination is too boring

[unreal ether]

But then the problem is everything is meat so everyone dies from malnutrition

Hm

[zinc matrix]

too bad matrix demo road mesh details are not seperated, but then again it's kinda easy to build

feels like every city will look the same

and you will get nightmares probably from tearing the project apart lol

[deep copper]

ugh

[soft night]

building your own loop in the matrix

[zinc matrix]

also can't load all map cells without crashing

meshes placed like this 😤

[proud jay]

man amazon is so mean, I delayed ordering a package so that it would arrive on saturday cause I'm not home friday. Now I get a fucking email that it will be deliverd friday anyway 😡

[pearl elk]

not very efficient on their part

[fringe plaza]

First people complain about slow shipping now they complain about fast shipp

[pearl elk]

its not all about speed though, say you type 90 words per minute but make 50% mistakes

efficiency would mean typing slower to raise accuracy and reduce rework

[mossy nexus]

well when people say they can type 90 words a min, what they mean is they can type 90 correectly speeled words a minute

[fringe plaza]

Sure but how Amazon seemly predicted a date and then are running ahead of schedule and so they have updated the customer that they are ahead of schedule thay seems pretty efficient ti me

Yes correectly speeled to be fair that is accounted for in most wpm tests

[pearl elk]

maybe being on schedule is more important, thats the issue with lateness really

[proud jay]

this would be an easy fix if they would just let me schedule a delivery date

then you could still say asap

[fringe plaza]

But in shipping onschhedule is as fast as possible.

I think you can in delivery instructions

I'm pretty sure there's a way you can set when packages get delivered if I remember but I could be talking out my ass cause I haven't done it

[proud jay]

I saw that on the support page of the us an uk amazon, but I never found it when placing my order

on nl amazon

[fringe plaza]

Ahhhhh I have absolutely zero clue then

[pearl elk]

maybe you gotta pay extra for them to go slow 😛

[zinc matrix]

in a scale of (smart) 0 to 12 (dumb), how UE goes for creating UI apps?

[deep copper]

EXACTLY

[deep copper]

depends on what it does

if the app needs ue features, it's a nice thing

but usually i don't think the size and other pain would be worth it

people usually just pack web stuff and call it an app right

[zinc matrix]

!8ball is it Mario time?

[turbid spindle]

@zinc matrix, :8ball: Yes.

[zinc matrix]

Wahoo!

[deep copper]

its a me mario

[zinc matrix]

Tbh I prefer Wario

[deep copper]

i have no idea what that is

i just know the red blue moustache guy is mario

[deep copper]

and green blue moustache , slightly taller, is lugi

[zinc matrix]

Wario is Mario's superior

[deep copper]

ohhh, i haven't played any of it so idk the plot

[zinc matrix]

Wario usually just beats up and loots people in his games for a dumb reason

[deep copper]

yellow pink rounder body thunder moustache, wario, got it

[zinc matrix]

His catchphrase is "have a rotten day!"

[deep copper]

what reason if i may ask?

[zinc matrix]

He's really greedy

[deep copper]

that reminds me of tomatoes

[zinc matrix]

That's kinda his thing

[deep copper]

sounds like wall street

[zinc matrix]

He'd totally rob Wall Street

Yeah

[deep copper]

unrelated question but, are wall mart and wall street related

[zinc matrix]

depends

[zinc matrix]

Kinda, wall street investors probably have Walmart stocks

yeah^

[deep copper]

ahh, that makes sense

[zinc matrix]

Wario also has his own game company called Warioware

He treats his employees like shit though

Overall he's a really nice guy

I remember this one wario game on the wii

was fun from memory

[deep copper]

but if it's successful, it works

[zinc matrix]

Wario Land: Shake It?

hmmm

might be it

dunno

that was like 10 years ago

also what's the plot of donkey kong exactly?

[zinc matrix]

Well it's either that or Warioware: Smooth Moves

[zinc matrix]

Donkey Kong just usually gets his bananas stolen by King K. Rool and has to retrieve them

[deep copper]

smooth moves, shake it, sounds like a dance game

[deep copper]

that's like mario

princess stolen

[zinc matrix]

Kinda, only Donkey Kong just cares about his bananas

Not really after a princess or anything

[deep copper]

why not go for other bananas?
