I had game history in college
.. it's already a thing
but then again, I did study a game development specific thing
that makes sense i suppose
though i thought those usually didn't allow using game engines much
we used a custom engine of school the first year, then in the second year we did unity + making our own engine based on some framework, third year was just grad work and internship so you could use what you wanted
that doesn't sound so bad, but how was the custom engine?
I mean it was good enough for our purposes
was just some Direct2D and Box2D stuff wrapped in some nicer API tbh
so basically stuff simplified/broken down to study it, neat i guess
yeah was pretty cool
what is id tech ?
it could do crappy shit like this ๐ https://youtu.be/07HRY1mNchg
Have you played Doom?
Not the Indian film, but the demon shooter
havnt played it but seen it
okay, i am trusting you that it's not a rick roll clicks
I swear back then Doom search result got poisoned by Dhoom, which is a totally ||un||related Indian film series.
At least they didn't make Dhoom 2016 and Dhoom Eternal.
nah it's a game I made in my first year inspired by Spelunky
hey that's pretty impressive
try searching for WooD instead
Instructions unclear, got Fortnite instead
that was actually so much fun to make
somehow I lost my creativity to make these kind of dumb games for fun
this was one I made in 2nd year with some other students https://youtu.be/o7xrb0AuuZI
this of third year https://youtu.be/_mQZFwZZCrs
when you get back to it next time, you might look at from more fun perspective again ๐
lol it never left the school
huh, the basic game play looks fluid tho
we were hard capped by the requirement to be able to run in a browser though
the day before the exam added a whole infinite mode cause I was bored as well ๐
fun times
the 2nd looks like the usual indie game before good quality 3rd party assets where a thing ๐
A company did want to invest in it though, but me and the rest of the team weren't really up for it
are you teacher or have you been student in that class?
all assets are made by other students in my group, I am but a measly programmer
student
They're actually looking for teachers, and was considering, but it pays so much less than my current job though
otherwise I'd love to do it
also from what i can tell, teacher job can be hell
ow that VR thing looks allright
not because of the students, but because of your employee
i know someone trying to get out of teaching, into IT ๐
this seems quite fun !
this looks, super complex !
that looks VR not fps
yeah it is VR
well, first person games is what i meant
ye thats shit for videos
because they force your view, while on 3rd person videos its less stressing imho
they usually have smoother camera rotation^
how can you tell it's VR?
no arm, just the gun
shakey head
thats typical VR game stuff
good times
man needs to make money
that VR game was like 10 weeks of working on it at least 4 fulltime days with a few people
don't have the time for it
dunno, plenty of ppl dont live the money life
.. isn't that quick
hunter/gatherers are still a thing
well I guess, but also it's just a student project
also, as I said I have no ideas for cool shit anymore
in my first year I made like 12 dumb ass games like fake cookie clicker and flappy bird
even made a dress up game with putin as the main character once :p
havent done a gamejam in ages but small projects are fun
well it's alright, whenever you feel up for it :D !
your goal should be having fun while making it as well, not taking it as a chore rn ig
yeah
that's wrong imho, at least 90% is chore
working on the same game for 2 years was getting tedious towards the end at work
there's no "fun" in "gamedev"
sometimes you crack a laugh, because you are so deeply depressed that even the small things cheer you up
simple games might be fun though ? ๐ค there shouldn't be anything wack like bone orientation pains in them i think
there's still chore in them
and trust me, even if the bone rotation thing is fucking my mind, when something like this finally works, you are happy (for 5 minutes)
when ur rig is setup its setup..
it's like craving the happy drug
I think you need to talk to your therapist
that's that treadmill theory right? people get happiness spikes for a small moment then back at 0
problem solving
19 months free
I now work on backend services for supply chain planning solutions, but I still enjoy developing
just a different result
that's a huge word, but i added it to the notes
either way, i guess it's just personal outlook on , problem solving or something
ok those thumbnails are hilarious though
thats my handwriting ๐
Did you mean "Bricks"?
also my spelling
here's some more things I did, outdated though, missing a game <redacted>
doxing myself hard rn
doing high poly 3d stuff was also pretty fun tbh
you can remove the link in 5 minutes
those actually look like you had fun making them
@deep copper if i dont laugh my ass off out of cringe when i hit the submit button ... it was a project failed ๐
some people just need a good roasting
yea, you can roast affectionate all day long
kinda wanna play them but on work laptop now so can't download
brinestone and elura are on it !
a few days to make anything... that even runs... its hard
this one is missing https://store.steampowered.com/app/1094730/Black_Legend/
they are all super short... u might like a playtrough
like i try to not waste peoples time...
yeah but there's fun in having the mental freedom of knowing you don't have to make something gigantic and polished
there's also a lot of 3d models, i see a cool car
yeah that was for an exam in second year
๐ ๐ฏ
took me only 6 hours to render ๐
just play em when u get to ur PC, might get ur mojo back ๐
โค๏ธ ๐ฅฐ ๐ ๐
that's really cool ๐ฎ
yea sculpting is really fun... i hardly ever finish my sculpts tho
before UE i brought Spheres to minecraft https://i.imgur.com/nnpESHC.png
turbosmooth that shit
sculpting is basically playing with clay all over again
monke
https://i.imgur.com/KZV3ueM.png and spent weeks on this
thermal vision ๐
which teached a bunch about depth/framebuffers
more like poison swamp
ok that's just creepy
as i mixed up night vision (which had the greenish tint) with thermal vision
yea, only accounted entities
BUT
skeletons and zombies are blueish, too ๐
so only living creatures absorb heat
so did you actually release this, mod thing?
yea
I had an idea for a minecraft based file browser
It would represent folders as buildings and contents of the folders inside them
it's an addon for another mod (opencomputers) which adds Lua programmable computers to minecraft
Lol
so the whole mod was about writing some custom stuff in Lua, to render stuff with AR glasses
thats pretty interesting
i think that exists
Would it have a block in the middle for textures, rendering the texture to each face? ๐
that's quite interesting
Yeah never got around to doing anything about it besides the idea tho lol
would help people recall where they kept the files imo
id look at the minecraft code... but the game is not for me
can't imagine to mine enough cobble for a house big enough to store my "homework"
yeah it's a bit edgy ๐ฅ
i rather boot blender and do a new sculpt
creative mode ahoy
my worst mod
1.) Craft a Syringe like shown below
2.) use the Syringe on any Baby Mob to get Blood of a young Mob
3.) craft the Youth Potion Syringe like shown below
4.) use it on any Baby Mob and it will stay a baby for >3 years of playtime.
xDD
lol
the only mod I ever made for any game that actually did anything useful was a twitch integration mod for My Summer Car
I never released it because it required kinda complicated setup but I played with it enabled on my stream a few times and it was pretty fun lol
as long it does what it says XD
modding is a good way to learn how games in general work
what did it do tho
hmm i made a roborecall mod, never released tho
are you familiar with MSC? because if you're not explaining what it does won't make any sense lol
specially if it involves multiplayer and server/client logic
ah, i am absolutely Not familiar xD
Yeah, it allowed twitch chat to cause a number of different effects inside the game basically :)
like spawning beer cases (see how I said it'll make no sense)
lol
1 time i had a bunch of skype conversations recorded from a friend and when i let him play i put a bunch of his own voice in
the "my summer car" steam page reminds me of that car mechanics game that was in an unreal stream a while ago
pretty sure car mechanic sim is somewhat inspired by MSC
yea, they kinda look the same
while car mechanic sim looks more polished/clean compared to my summer car, which has more of a DIY mechanic vibe
Hmm actually not sure, a bit hard to say since CMS actually already had a release in 2014
MSC has been in development for like 10 years or something but it wasn't very known in the early days
And yeah, Car Mechanic Sim is more streamlined in many ways... I've not played it myself but it seems it's easier in that it gives you a lot more help and convenience in doing things
Whereas in MSC you will have to know where each part goes, it won't tell you anything except give you a little checkmark when you're in the right spot, and for example to bolt things in, you have to use mouse wheel to rotate each individual bolt step by step lol
which is about as painful as it sounds when you're new to the game :P
but it's truly one of those games which get rewarding if you put the effort to learn it... but it definitely could use a less clunky UI for those who don't want to google for guides on how to play it
while that doesn't makes sense it sounds fun xD ๐ป
holy fuck xD
which reminds me of the idiot which screwed in the oil drain screw on my car...
First time I played it I could get the basic chassis and suspension bits built
i have LIFTED the car trying to loosen it....
because I had a vague idea on those... but the engine was annoying as shit
I was streaming it tho so thankfully I got a bunch of helpful randos in chat helping lol
with a car jack pressing the ratchet up
it sounds like you need to know real cars well to use msc
yeah the car building aspect of it is definitely easier if you know at least the basics
but why not work on real cars then?
plus the engine tuning and diagnostics when things inevitably break
unless you can't
ah yes, the age old "why not do things in real life that you do in video games"
do you really want an answer to this
:P
which would make it even more painful to play it, if you would like to
realism ๐ฏ though!
even more fun to crash around
well, yea there are times... where i would rather play the game, like winter maybe
you can come over and fix my car ๐
Or a car that you're willing to potentially break when you fuck around with it...
indeed
you can come over and fix me
as i dont have a garage
that's like those airplane learning sim stuff ig
There are actually a couple of people that I know of who bought the same car as in MSC in real life and then actually tinkered on it
people with not much previous mechanical knowledge
that's how accurate the game is to large parts of it lol
It's a 70s Datsun 100a
Popular cheap econobox from back in the day
i wonder if they guy who made the game had that car
and made it while experimenting on it
i would take a datsun 240z probably, ,good looking car with some modifications :>
I don't think he did, maybe his parents had one when he was young but not sure
I prefer workin on my real car, I do enjoy driving games though
maybe it was an advert
I prefer paying someone else to work on my car lol
i prefer GTA ๐
Yeah, CMS didn't feel like very interesting.. think I have it free from somewhere
with MSC there's a lot of other bits besides just tinkering on the car which make it fun to play
Dave Oshry has one of those 240z's I think
I think mechanic stuff can be interesting but twisting bolts is as tedious as organising and selling scrap inventory
yeah i can't imagine opening cars etc, those look complicated and I don't trust myself without undo
Im doing brake rotor upgrade atm, did my suspension, sway bars etc without a hoist lol
Sounds like typical MSC mechanic stuff
Do it while youre young is my recommendation
In MSC you can use a beer case to lift up the car lol
yea, you can regret the money spent later
I wanted to get a new exhaust for mine but there's no places that do them here that I'd actually trust with it
The two places that I would trust were like "we can't do it because we can't offer a guarantee for the work"
time to take car lessons and fix it yourself
I prefer my car to not need work ๐ง
Thing that frustrates me most is car games tend to go off in different tangents and theres not really one in the middle. Be cool to have mechanic stuff be important, tuning too as well as cosmetics not just a huge emphasis on one for gameplay
i prefer my work to not need car ๐ง
Well you gotta do maintenance on them yearly usually regardless lol
Oil and plugs at the least
You should try MSC lol
in belgium you are required to do yearly maintenance and have it checked, but only if the car is older than 4 years
i bet they get tired making one aspect of it
but I have a company car that's swapped out every 6 years, so we gucci
I'm pretty sure the developer of MSC actually played his Street Rods back in the day :D
keep em young huh
I love NFS but boy it could be so much better if it was abit more on the grand theft auto side of things and I dont mean the game
I see all these NFS games in UE5 lately and its kinda like bleh
Been there done that, whats new
No ones showing off interesting new gameplay
car go forward
not much to innovate
burnout paradise was the shit
blowing other cars up
Car go forward, yeah I played that mobile game
You swipe and thats it yay for complexity
cargo space ?
car go road
Why not, seeing cars loaded onto a ship is new
but seeing cargo ships being loaded onto a car, now that's interesting
Car go ship while being loaded with drugs
you change spark plugs every year?!?! i wouldn't unless one gets faulty ๐
Depends on how much you drive
change it while you can
Spark plug gaps are important a misfire is worst case they still dont fire 100% if worn
how much do you drive tho?
I just take my car to the shop when the car tells me to do it, they do something in there to it, charge me exorbitant amounts of money, and then I do it again next year
So far it has continued working 
modern spark plugs don't "corrode"/burn off as old ones
Lol modern, it depends entirely on what theyre made of
Most people arnt running iridiums
yes, but most have platinum stuff at least
at least she's trying 
I'd let her do that to my car, to be fair.
i have no idea what is supposed to happen actually 
Checking plugs is a great indicator of cylinder health
Please do it once a year at the least
please dont
Please go away
I'd just follow the instructions in the car's manual tbh
It usually says to do plugs every X distance driven or every X months
Assuming that's engine oil, there will be a release under the car to get the old stuff out and then a cap to put the new stuff in somewhere in that compartment, near hte top of the engine.
so you replace oil?
I just do it when it needs doing, some people are crazy about 5000km oil changes
Not myself, no, but I do on my motorbike.
when does it need doing according to you?
have ya'll seen that clip where a woman spits on the nozzle to insert it to the car
If you see smoke, you probably need it? ๐
then its most likely to late
I mean, the car literally tells you when it needs oil
costly mistake ๐ฌ
holy shit, those 2 persons been lucky
yea, but some do too late imho
Lol if your oil light is on thats not cuz the oil needs changing
I'm pretty sure the garage would be insured for that type of thing, so probably wouldn't cost them much.
The oil light thing is so dumb
Whose idea was it to make it turn on when it's already possibly too late
:P
inspection reminder != oil lamp
I love people who carry water to top up their radiator
I totally rely on my car to tell me things, even if the tyres are flat.
In My Summer Car you can pee into the radiator to fill it 
do they pay the car owner then? or fix the car and then give, assuming it's not their car
really? xD
Yes, no joke
Who the hell has a car that tells them when the next service is, thats some fancy shit
They'd probably have it fixed? And their insurance would pay them to do it.
Me too.
probably every fricking car made in the last 10 years does that
Why cant the car do the oil change itself, cheeeaaaP
artificial dumbness
it's not a bad invention imho
My car tells me if the brake pads are worn out and if any of the lights have burned out
a day will come when car goes to the fixing center itself on the scheduled day
it's very handy
I probalby need my oil changed more than every 5000km, tbh. I don't really do more than 1000/year. I can't imagine the same oil for 5 years is a good idea.
I have this thing called a dipstick, I pull it out and yeah... suck it
Probably don't even hit 500.
thats actually pretty simple, theres a wire in the breakpad, once it gets scrubbed off, the line is open and a light goes on
i really hope it also tells when the sensor sensing those are worn out
lol
pretty cheap, but sold pretty expensive as extra ๐
from what I understand the light burnt out sensor measures resistance on the circuit or something like this
But is there a sensor that checks the sensors?!
What no tyre pressure sensor
It has that too :P
And what if that sensor breaks?
Tbh the sensor failing will probably trip a fault code
as it registers an open line, it would show "breaks worn" if a cable is broken
I'm sure the germans thought of that
and yea, sensor lines are usually also watched for resistance
I see why you guys need to take your cars in for services
You dont wanna spend a fortune in software credits
that's some magic sensor stuff
My cars a 2004 so no youre wrong
Yeah the Mercedes Star software won't even run except on specific hardware configurations
lol
well, i had cars from 2000 which had stuff like that
although to be fair it does spit out most of the diagnostics info over regular OBD
The ecu is slower than a 386 hehe
even my crappy ford from 2005 has most of it
are you some car collector :P
no
do you want to collect me?
rather cars
My crappy Ford from 2004 has nothing, seat belt sensor, door sensor... thats bout it lol
But it has an engine capable of producing 1200hp hehe
is that a ford engine?
Prolly didnt want traction control anyways
Best Ford engine ever made, the mighty Barra
well, thats an engine where i would change spark plugs every 5k miles or something, too
but not on a normal car
screw it, i prolly would check them after each run, just to be sure
Ive never seen a normal car, unless thats one of those engines filled with rust or milk
what
milky car
i dont think that modern aluminum engines do rust that much
When the coolant mixes with oil
they may do a bunch of other nasty things, tho
Aluminium blocks abit fancy but they can warp, Subis love to do that
Thats a prime milkshake right there
Or when coolant shoots out the cylinder head
Which car?
"Low K wrecker motor, ran when taken out"
Ford Falcon
Dang. My car only does upto 603 bhp!
The cars too heavy tbh thats why people swap barras into smaller cars like mustangs
idk anything about cars, I'm just a pleb driving around in my Audi A3 sportback
But I like my crappy taxicab luxury, I just squint my eyes and pretend its an s class
Nothing wrong with a car like that, does it have a track mode?
Oh it's 211bhp actually. Damn.
Best feature of newer cars is adaptive suspension
Everyone is like get coilovers but what you really want is adaptive
yea but if that shit breaks, it breaks your wallet
If nothing goes wrong, I'd be moving out again by June, but even further, out of town
looking at modern cars, they aren't really affordable when they reached 10-15 years age
I hope nothing goes wrong, my mental condition hasn't been good lately
Applying as Junior Game Designer, hope it goes well
even the 2005 ford i got is part of that (had a broken controll unit on the electronic clutch, which would cost ~$900 at ford)
that's what the car is worth if it would drive
Yeah euro cars here can be bad, I saw something bout an Audi with a dodgy steerring wheel. Infact I think it was Mighty Car Mods, cost a mint just to fix a small electrical issue in the wheel harness
good luck
Thats why theres a push for 48v systems to promote hybridisation as well as less weight in wiring
I got like 5kgs in just 2 battery cables lol
Yosh~
goodluck mako !
pokes or digis?
It's Dhoom, lmao
No pokin my mons
does mons mean anything?
mons is also mountains in french
Google would said otherwise
At least back then Dhoom would be mixed up more with Doom in the search results
Thankfully they don't make new Dhoom films nowadays
Though the Indian filmmakers would troll the shit out Doom community if they make a new film called Dhoom Eternal
Not for me though
Well, back then, at least
Talking about early 2010s before Doom 2016 become the hot stuff
Ah, I see
I'm almost certain they're going to make another one lol
Considering the last one did pretty well at the box office
Well, if it's going to be Dhoom 4, at most it'll affect those looking for historical Doom 4 cutting room floor stuff
ah
but
If she watching a minecraft animation?
i am guessing tetris
i only played half of the gif xD
Not a big gamer even to begin with. But there are various people around.
The passion to dev and to play are not always matching.
Looking for game testers for Our upcoming Open World Third Person Action RPG, please message me outside of this chat

yawns
Blender?
I also look for free artists, no pay, but more work.
some1 lost his gold color?
thats in the Niagara Advanced Particles content example for the Boids section
see today I'm trying to figure out the system, which is so complicated even God is like "Wtf is this shit?"
well god made the universe in a few days.. he doesnt take his time for things
or god took a very long time and made us forget
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgSsa0JocRk my coins are super satisfying because you win ๐
not bad
god didn't use Niagara otherwise the beginning of Genesis would say "And God said, "let there be light", but he had to wait to bake it out as he was still on Unreal Engine 1"
why is it age restricted xD
let me sign in
gambling
because I believe slot gambling should be something we protect children from
they should
Ive been addicted to slots since I was 4 years old. I've had some awful times when I hit rock bottom.
really in this day of age .. where ponzi schemes are cheered instead of illigal
im going to remake that coin fountain before I complete the slot for release. It uses a flipbook that I rendered in engine but now we have Niagara for UMG so it would save having to do all that
wish every slot was like this ๐ญ
about 40% of them are online in casinos. Book of Dead (and the original Book of Ra) slots, which I copied here, have been cloned so many times it's considered the grand daddy of all slots
i bet u 20$ that Ivey is Chance Ivey ๐
I dont actually bet on anything but slot machines. Sometimes a casino will give me a free bet so I use that, but usually only on UFC because I've watched it for 30 years so I'm pretty good at guessing who will win ๐
A person that likes to gamble his money will allways feel the pull
that is just mean
Fortunately I am aware of my addiction so I limit myself heavily. ยฃ20 a week at most. Low stakes only. Which is super casual and only what I would spend on MTX for path of exile or some other game anyway ๐
have you ever won anything?
my guess he is down over 60%
yeah overall I'm still winning. Since 2012 I've won roughly ยฃ10,000 from 0.10/0.20 stakes.
I play high volatility slots, nothing less than 96% RTP. They don't pay often, but when they do, its massive
like impossible unless outliers
that's quite cool !
96 return isnt bad at all
long term the majority of people will lose. Limiting yourself is key to sustaining wins. If you play constantly like some Twitch/Youtube streamers you will lose thousands and more. They only sustain because of sponsorships from casinos
that 96% RTP is over billions of spins tho. So you can hit a million spins with nothing big. Its all luck
the less volatile slots will pay out more often but not as much, which can sustain a bit easier
i played some online poker but not anymore
I used to play online poker but only $1/$2 tops. Which sucks because everyone goes all in with 6,2 offsuit and wins
My last two times I played online poker I ragequit from having AA and AK against rags and losing
i prolly would have profited if it wasnt for the antes
played like 10 25$ tables at a time
I only play Pokerstars VR now. no pressure and its not as exciting, but you don't lose anyway except time
oof. If I could afford to play high stakes I'd do a lot better. I'm a solid poker player overall but low stakes it's like playing Bingo
mostly sit and go but also large tourneys
well high stakes ppl also crush u with trash... in the end bad players is where u get ur money tho
I once played in a $2.5million tournament and went out just before the bubble. I had AK, 3-bet the blind. Got called by one. Flop came out nothing, raised, got called, turn was nothing, raised, got called, river popped the ace. Went all in, got called. Guy had 6,2 offsuit and made a straight. I almost threw up at the thought of him calling my 3bet
hmm i dont play on odds as much as on stacksize and opponent
i do know the odds for open end straight draw and flush draw and stuff
if i would have hit open end on flop and my stack allowed it i would push you out on flop
yeah I saw the possibilities but when you 3-bet the blind in a tournament close to the bubble, you expect the trash hands to fold when they haven't paid the big blind. Perhaps this guy just need to take a shit or something. I dunno. Anyway I quit for like 5 years. Went to play again earlier this year, never really felt the same
40% win odds is worth shoving allin too take the blinds
steal the pot
well thats how i play
yeah this guy didn't have anything until the turn. Plus it wasn't open ended. He had both ends :p
gettin AK and hiitin A or K on flop often makes ppl weary
perhaps if the A hit on the flop I would have forced him to fold, but it seemed like he wasn't folding no matter what. Thats low stakes tho. Sometimes people just play anything thinking they are Tom Dwan
I once played in a $2.5million tournament and went out just before the bubble
must have had a lot of ppl ๐
yeah. I got in through a satellite for $1.50 ๐
ahh cool ๐
well. time to go gamble in Path of Exile for the night. See if I can win some loot. It's been a rough day of studying Niagara so I deserve it. Have fun ๐

Wondering for an hour why all the physics objects in my scene were suddenly blasting around at incredible speeds.
Why is the spring arm length at zero, as if it is colliding with the character capsule (which wasn't an issue until just now)?
Turns out the new human I imported had a physics asset with a capsule so large, it enveloped the entire scene. ๐
this is what makes it so irritating, stuff is so complicated that anything can go wrong in complicated ways but it's often times something simpler which takes away hours
yea its so big u cant see it anymore... its a classic

Yeah it's pretty good
but does it have keanu?
No lol
Actually maybe he was a voice in one of the bits but it's been a while since I saw it
ahh might watch it
hello.
I got my Blueprint Ninja Challenge package. Not sure if it's the whole thing. Got two shirts, two pins and a water bottle
I think that's the whole thing
Unfortunately I haven't received it because I'm outside northern America and western Europe, hahahah
Where do you located?
Not the specific location, I just want to know if it's inside NA/EU or not.
NA
I got my 3 badges so far nothin else
Hah, I guess those outside NA/EU/AUS is royally fucked then lol
I remember back in the day Epic sent me a huge package full of Logitech gear, it was awesome
Those package might be sent to somebody by the time I'm moving out again next month
I guess it really is a lost cause for those outside first world countries
Hashtag #nonfirstworldcountryproblems
Oh well, I'd rather forget about it
I don't see any fine print that the packages only sent to first world inhabitants.
yeah depends on how good postal services are, customs and all that
I had fedex contact me one time because I had brought vinyl cutting tools and they were all like why you got razor blades in your package
@ionic flame, :8ball: My sources say no.
its baby manny cuz manny and quinn got up the duff
The UE5 shirt is sick. It's a stealth black V on the front
woo UE5 merch, thats what I wanted. I woulda bought some if I could
It would be nice if it shipped to me before next month so I can wear it at work and travelling, but eh, that sounded too good to be true
Perhaps way too good to be true
Both shirts have a
logo on the right sleeve, but it's the old one not the new one
There is UE5 merch? ๐ค
Yes, part of the BP Ninja completion reward
If you're residing in first world countries, you may have it sended by this month
Ah I haven't participated in that ๐
Gah, screw it, I'm just gonna bootleg my own Unreal T-shirts then
It's not like Epic's going to sue the crap out of me for showing bootlegged Unreal merch in public
Gotta send this logo to my local merch maker
I still got a brand new Sh&t just got Unreal tshirt, the ones I wear are all worn out these days
I'm kind of sad the water bottle isn't insulated. I feel like water bottles need to be insulated or what's the point
It's also plastic, but feels really sturdy
I dont have an Unreal shirt. Only real ones.
I want a Bunreal shirt with a bagel on it
Duh, I thought for a moment it is a glass bottle...
But he is polite enough to thank
Also there isnt a "no gif chain" rule
It just says "stay on topic"

ofc it makes
"Yeah ofc I understand how git works and never break builds and destroy branches"
rule 7?
I could be a bad community member and say chain is not spam but you are right
#cpp gossips
So she jammed the laundry machine by putting the kid's stove in, can you imagine?
Aww... there is constexpr in the engine... faith is gradually restoring.
Last time I looked it was you ol' plain C rand() ๐ค
uh
Gotta admit, used that yesterday. With delegates.
I was kind and didn't broke the invariance tho. Posted for the next tick.
I don't remember ever using mutable... maybe out of bore to taste it.
There is a macro PI btw...
I wonder if I include that in my CV they would still hire me but never let me touch Git and save me from anxiety of breaking builds
you might think "I didn't break any rules" but look again, there's only 1 rule to follow, #rules #11, which implies "don't make the mods mad", the rest of the rules just describe what could potentially make them mad, it's not a complete list.
this also implies that you could break the other rules mentioned if it doesn't makes any mod mad. this rule applies to all servers i have seen so far
I can do this even when I read it
does UE5 has its own content examples now?
So there were teams worse than my previous ones
The one involes PTSDs? or another
I'm already tired while reading
How to have a "fancy" meeting?
And was the decision took by programmers?
Were they paranoid about security or something lmao
Ah, corpo bullshit
I see
I really wonder if they continue like that even now
It should be very difficult to convince that fancy upper management
lmao

I wonder your regular-corporate-yours answer on this
Sensory overload
reminds me of : Asterix an Obelix the house that sends u mad
Maybe if you would try regular-discord-Lorash mode it could have worked
"have you tried f** the workflow by using this method though?"
Yeah, some old industry friend also told me doing 85% of what you can do is always better than doing 110%
caring as much is already a challenge
Ow.. I take my time to recycle when im on the clock ๐
you should see your doctor if you have an std tbh
Kontroversiel opinions.
they got an office in germany too i believe
If you take out glass of water outside the hospital, you may buy a car.
in sweden at least
dno about germany
id say you get compensated nicely in both those countries
techies are kinda wanted atm
short contracts
last time I went on a job interview cause I thought I was earning too little at my current job, the lady asked me what I currently earn, I told her and her reaction was "wow you earn a lot for a 25 year old" instant noped out of there
So in big companies, disagreeing on BS against people is something you should avoid? 
Or were you just deciding to leave to company
disagreeing with upper managment
they don't care most of the time anyway
Laura is doing freelancing afaik so probably not a long term fixed contract
I wonder who they blame after everything goes wrong
everyone but themselves probably
work at company long, become so bad at your job that they don't want you to actively participate anymore, so they give you managment job instead of firing you
๐ง
I wish some managment would be fired here
we're doing some things the bad way cause "we've been doing them like that for 35 years"
I needs some fresh wind in this company sometimes
I'm really glad I work on the innovative part of our company and not on our old software
luckily they only decided on 40% office work required
I don't mind tbh, I like going for my colleagues sometimes
the being mandatory part is kinda shit though
also I live in the street of my office atm ๐
oh yeah, when I'm in the office I lose at least 90 min by standing at the coffee machine chit chatting
the thing I'm really happy about is that there's a head office that is 80km away from here with heavy traffic, so it's like 1h40 one way, and before covid (didn't work here yet) you were required to go there once a week
that is just pain
luckily they dropped that now
saved by pandemic again
need to distract myself so managment doesn't notice I work 5 times as fast as colleagues
they might give me more work
What is your trick to work 5 times as fast
I never noticed company policies is this amount of pita since you guys mentioned
People were mostly complaining about different things
idk I've always worked fast my entire life
don't hate
the average person is just not that intelligent or efficient
god complex enabled
How much you refactor your code after your work done
Also do they also Dieter you at work
unfortunately not
depends, if a feature is already done and I think it needs refactoring I need to put it on the backlog and request capacity for it in our next sprint
so depending on the impact yes/no
sometimes I wish people would just let me work and ignore me until I speak to them
I must sound like a nice guy to work with rn ๐
I've never had such problems like this. I'm very happy I'm not working for a company
guess anyone who needs to concentrate for their work can relate
Do you get along well with your juniors
well, there's only 1 junior in our direct sub team and I'm his day to day coach, so I guess yeah haha
I only got tutored one time, for one week, but it was equal to ~3 months of tutoring in terms of quality. After that experience when I left the studio none of the seniors I've encountered liked me (
)
I need a few more years and some experience with git probably
Just backup to gdrive.
too fest
oof
readability is number 1 priority
next to of course, having as little lines as possible so your source compiles faster ๐ง
heaps of lambdas that called each other based on overloading on parameters
None of those make sense to me
Really wtf is that repo
I never bothered to look into non UE projects yet
is it always makes no sense like this
OBS was quite nice
tbh sometimes I look at code from my schooltime and I also think "wtf was I thinking"
anyone of you know if theres any shortcut to control camera movement speed?
can't find anything in the editor preferences oO
it's something with scrolling I think
kinda tried everything
crtl + scroll?

frick it ๐ญ
time to call bill gates
time to call linus
torvalds or techtips?
well, there are way worse
Idc, you are not using Linux Mangaka so 
My company is finally realizing that running services in the cloud might work better and be cheaper on linux, so now they need to remove windows.h from 35 years of legacy code ๐ง
FreeBSD ftw
๐
our previous software runs on premise at clients, but they would have to buy fucking insane rigs with multiple terrabytes of ram to load the data lol
Johnson & Johnson is a client and it takes several hours to boot up our application lmao
now we're moving to distributed service architecture in docker containers running on a vm atm, we load that dataset in approx ~7 seconds now
did I mention our previous application has little to no multithreading
one of the things being held back by these people working here for 20 years at a time
they don't have the reflex to think about scalability and stuff
we also have this stupid release system where we support the last 5 releases
mind you, one release is an arbitrary period of 6 months
so we're retrofitting bugs to code of 2,5 years old that is maybe no longer used today
and of course clients use that old shit, but then they want new features
so often times we end up retrofitting features to older releases as well
luckily there's a team working to streamline the process and hopefully only have 1 live release that is continuously updated
F
what kind of reflection is the api doing on itself
we also have reflected API, cause we turn json schemas into c# classes at runtime and generate controllers based on those, but it just works cause you can change the json easy
oh no
seems like being a freelancer is lots of fun ๐
uh oh
was it your idea
very nice
computer scientist ๐ค
well my job title is software engineer
but according to belgian law I cannot be considered an engineer
so my whole life is a lie
the engineer title is reserved for 2 specific master degrees
hey this stuff is broken... you have to fix it.... also ur not allowed to change anything
hell dont even come near it.. servers might go down if the monitor gets turned on
bro, did you hack my teams chat?
dieter you are from belgium?
๐
can you explain to me why on radio (topradio.be) they talk english but advert in belgian?
but probably cause they want international crowd but can only pull local advertisers that only make their ads in dutch
its all the same for me as someone who doesn't understand either
well oficially it's dutch
but it's very different to dutch from the netherlands
we call it flemish
from flanders
It looks very similar to English in a very weird way
it's a mix of everything
of course the dialect also changes every 10km
it also has some french vibes in it
Probably this is what happens when your country is a trade center of north europe back 5 centuries ago

ikr
which idiot would do that 
enough links to get free nitro
lol
rip cost of living
@sand oxide i had to enable "use exeperimental navigation" for camera :>
so wasnt something OS related
damn thats a life changer
how could i live without that, and always using the dropdown...
not necessary anymore, the patch made it to official glibc
@timber viper
also.... there was at least 4 people
damn those blender Geo nodes are some houdini type stuff
new in 3.0?
dunno just scrollin the blender r havent checked up for a while

which software is this
letting you save gifs easily like this
why it doesnt appear on me
you click the emoji so it shows the popup, then right click, open image in new tab or copy link
easy ๐
its not animated on you
now all I need is client-side parser that converts mapped emoji keywords into saved gifs like this
I worked for a game company based on NFT idea
They paid what I requested but because of bear market (idk what the hell it is) they went on a regression ๐น
lmao
bear market is stonks going down
bull market is stonks going up
they know they can just right click copy image new NFTs right
yes
Can I own Miguel's messages
did you just deadname laura
Lorash is back ๐ฅณ
that must be new special breed of human, making vertical videos in UE....
thats blender... but thats not a bad idea
flip isn't UE?
nah its a tech
oh, nvm

hi is there a mod i can ask something to?
what do you need from mods
i wanted to ask if i can post my questioniare regarding 3d game prop workflow as i need it filled by experienced artist to help me gather knowledge for my thesis
I'm using Ayu Mirage color theme in my vscode, but vs doesn't seem to have it
good thing I rarely use VS anymore
excuse my heresy
it's a bit suspicious that ue5-main hadn't any commits in 3 days....
VS is just really slow on our codebase, we even used VAX, but then they swapped to some clangd intellisense thing, but of course they forgot that we also have c# developers, so the all the VAX features were just gone for that then. So just decided to yolo it in VSCode, which has less intellisense, but at least it's fast and doesn't crash
fortnut money has ran out
all spent on swag packages
Sorry I missed my dose of pills today
Even Jambax
Only Josai left
If Josai also abandons, that'd mean VAX is completely dead
probably Stranger/Weirder
I just said I use VSCode ๐ญ
and our VS doesn't have it anymore either
obviously cause I can't install software on the vm I code on, so the options are VS VSCode or notepad++
don't tell our DevOps department
technically speaking VSCode is not allowed for some reason
but it's more like "not supported"
cause our front end people use it
wtf, no shifts in bp
they are on resharper now
