Tried using wombo to generate the Ethiopian flag and strangely it only displays yellowish-orange and green. There's no blue or red.
Feed wombo with 2000 flags and it will learn.
maybe it is using historic flag information too
1914-1936 there was no blue circle or star
perhaps try Ethiopian Naval Ensign and you'll get some blue
Seems particular to the choice style. None is just the orange and green, robots has the red.
maybe the AI is trying to develop a flag for its people
wombe has hidden agenda, messing with geopolitics
Or when it steals portions of existing images, it's ignoring the center. None of the styles seems to draw from the blue.
Fish-thing of judgement
Craiyon at least does a good job copying the current ethiopian flag. Doesn't seem to know about the old versions.
so its tracing, wooo amaze AI
amazo ai
You'd probably hope for something that resembles a flag with evocative Ethiopian terrain on it, not... the actual flag passed through a blender.
well lets be honest, flags arnt typically very creative
I know elephants that could paint a new flag ๐
They seem creative to me. But there's a lot of creative flags that get rejected for the sake of appealing to a committee.
pretty legit, has abit of Ethiopian rising sun thing going on
could be any navy though, I dont see the flag
๐
The shape before it randomized/stylized it was interesting. Looked like someone's drawing of a very intense seagull.
thats Donald Duck after he was given super hero powers
very USA
definitely looks delicious
A fruit bowl painting layered over a person wearing a hat would be the boring interpretation.
But it could also be a fungal mimic disguised as a candy gift basket.
what the fuck
they released that video around 3 years ago
and they are just starting pre production
french venti
french venti
hehe
I didnt thought they even started. I mean... Starfield.
lol I thought ES6 was in prod for like years already
how did they make a teaser trailer for something that is not even in pre-production
bethesda 
the Ark2 Trailer looks dope tho
Starring Vin Diesel (Fast Franchise) as Santiago and Auli'i Cravalho (Moana) as his daughter Meeka. Survive the past. Tame the future. Awakened on a primal world filled with dinosaurs & humans struggling for dominance, you must team-up with legendary heroes to confront dark forces. Saddle up, & join the definitive next-gen survival experience wi...
i'm only concerned that wildcard will f*ck it up like Ark1 ๐
I don't think Bethesda can run ES6 dev together with the Starfield.
Therefore, seems about fine they start to release some resources for it.
I mean, Fallout 5 too is a must ๐
fallout 5 2?

around 4 years ago ๐ that was just fan appeasement
but what was the video about then
like, hey guys, at some point we're gonna make ES6
we knew that without the video as well
Blizzard did not say anything about diablo 4 and community was pissed that they only showed that mobile thing.
whoa they're making an ES6???
At the time bethesda was praised
I had no idea
Because they did show something...anything
kind of excited for starfield. I guess it's not surprising they haven't done much or anything on es6 yet, theres only one Todd Howard :-P
the recent starfield video didn't raise my hopes for the game at all ๐
fair, I'm in for it though
luckily there's 57 skyrim editions
Not enuf
Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away? I said it was a derelict space craft it wasnt from there, we locked onto its homing beacon
derere-wut
the brother hood is back
And found something never discovered in hundreds of surveyed worlds... a creature that gestates inside a living host, has acid for blood, these are your words
Im looking forward to more Howardfields
Dont think they care since they at everyone on a server with tens of thousands of people
you stupid little rat ๐
magic trick for you
orange whiskey would be nice
The timer expired. Please start again.
!8ball what is magic?
@soft night, :8ball: Concentrate and ask again.
!8ball are there magic?
@soft night, :8ball: It is decidedly so.
!8ball are you magic?
@pearl elk, :8ball: Yes โ definitely.
Eh, personally I just use them for rough reference/concept art for ideas I'm having
Considering drawing was one of my weaknesses lol

quality content
if i base a Dockerfile off an image, does the CMD have the be the same as the original assuming i want the same behavior? i just need to add a a repo key plus a package and i cant seem to do that with docker exec because i cant run the commands as root
MOnsy I got somehow memories from Knight Rider
Rider of Knights.
any of you use Rider for not unreal development?
it looks pretty nice for generic c# development as well
but I wonder how it holds up for non unreal c++
but can rider cope
maybe I should just give it a try
never had a big project to try on, but it works fine
in fact its even faster without ue
But Knight Rider wasnt a Mustang
I know cuz Ive sat in the original kitt
Mons the new one is
something of Knight Industries Three Thousands engine where original kitt is Knight Industries Two Thousands
Knight Rider 2008 was cool but sure it didnt get much of seasons as original one
monsy have you watch all knight rider series?
might have if it included funeral scene with Hoff
I think there was some scientist and his daughter
the new series have scientist and his daugher and i remember small thing with hoff briefly to get talk of new knight rider for the KITT 3000 could have KITT 2000 there too
Yeah cuz the scientist gets kidnapped and thats why they need him
Then the car falls in love with the girl gets jelly and kills him
Funny how cars are doing even fancier things with their lights now its all leds. The Lucid Air looks sick when it starts up
Team Knight Riders show was interesting
this gif just synced up with my drum and bass and it's tripping me out ๐
totally turtle power then
I use it for Godot development. Works pretty well there as well. Pretty much any place that can use MSVC, I use Rider.
how common are pdf scams in job offerings?
dude ghosted me after told him only .jpg and .png
never had it reported at least
PDF scams?
yeah, slippin a mickey in the pdf
๐ค
Since when am I pinged here
this is a special occasion, could you perhaps talk to the other gentlemen/lady i pinged?
๐ dunno what your talking about
I am russian and ukrainian
wait what if the ukraine33 is russian?
maybe that could be a catfish that is good
is discord melting down for anyone else? I was in a call with someone and now they can't even open the program
yeah discord is boned
maybe it's a google dns thing because that's also not working sometimes
Welcome to Discord's home for real-time and historical data on system performance.
ISPs
I'm pretty sure it's not isps cause tons of shit all went down at the same time
probably right, discord would blame the ISPs wouldnt they
isn't it usually cloudflare when it feels like 50% of the internet is down (or AWS)
TF does AWS have any right to be down. Cheeky server scum
do be fair with them, they work 99% of time and seem to do their job kind of good
which you can see of the graphs from the other websites ๐
yeah I'd rather have the flat line with an occasional the internet is melting moment than the mountain range that is the alternative
why the hell is Epic's launcher so fucking shit
I don't want to do a fucking cathpa and select bicycles from an image
ffs
I just want to submit my two factor auth code -_-
don't forget about the 5 minute startup time
cathpas are the worst
yeah, can't deal with cat paws
did you make that?
can't even download the trial from substance painter -.-
now i know why all of you use windows
because adobe forces you to ๐
guess there's no trial for linux users ๐ญ
everything just works for windows
well, i can buy it on steam and test it for 2h tho
and refund if its crap or not working well
yea i could test it in my kvm, but i would rather like to test the actual linux version to see how well it works with UE
i'm pretty sure that the software is good, have seen lots of people use it, and it seems to be intuitive if you are used to photoshop workflow
my only concern is the quality of the linux build ๐
if you refund something on steam, the money lands on your steam wallet, and you can only use it to spent it on other stuff i guess?!
I troll all Adobe, but SP/SD kinda have no competition.
oh apparently it can also be refunded to your payment method
You will be issued a full refund of your purchase within a week of approval. You will receive the refund in Steam Wallet funds or through the same payment method you used to make the purchase.
well, you can texture paint in blender, but....
not with layers
yea its not ๐
I state that having in mind much more than Blender.
Use KVM lmao
oh my, it's going to be 25 C on midsummer eve at the summer cottage
28 C on saturday and sunday
hard to believe tbh, I suppose it'll change to +15 C and rain any day now
almost set for june 24th
yea i know i can "test" in KVM
but i cant test the linux binary there
and my experience is that they often are not as good maintained as their windows counterpart
also in other news, today is the day my mortgage rate is re-evaluated
interest rate will go from 0.5% to 1.5% xD
150 euros more per month
actually it'll probably go to 1.6%

that's a no
@soft night, :8ball: It is certain.
!8ball you like bluetooth?
!8ball do you like bluetooth with ketchup?
@cursive crypt, :8ball: Outlook good.
Who do you call ballz?
!8ball you like harald bluetooth?
@soft night, :8ball: Yes โ definitely.
!8ball do you like spinach?
@cursive crypt, :8ball: My sources say no.
!8ball you want bag of silver coins?
@soft night, :8ball: Cannot predict now.
!8ball have you tried explaining to people that there is no gravity and it's all to do with the shape of space time?
@mossy nexus, :8ball: Reply hazy, try again.
!8ball do you like ketchup?
@proud jay, :8ball: Better not tell you now.
!8ball do you like ketchup?
@proud jay, :8ball: My reply is no.
!8ball so it's mainly the bluetooth then
@proud jay, :8ball: It is certain.
!8ball is it specifically the blue part that you like?
@proud jay, :8ball: Most likely.
!8ball do you even care about the tooth part?
@proud jay, :8ball: Most likely.
I see
!8ball you like to connect?
@soft night, :8ball: Signs point to yes.
!8ball connect physically?
@proud jay, :8ball: You may rely on it.
!8ball ๐ ๐ฆ ?
@proud jay, :8ball: Without a doubt.
!8ball does Manny love me?
@stuck sedge, :8ball: Yes.
@stuck sedge, :8ball: My sources say no.
!8ball what about me?
@knotty skiff, :8ball: Better not tell you now.

Does it work for crypto?
One of my friends brothers each found a huge stash of roman era and wallachian coins, just taking a stroll with the detector through the forest ๐
I wonder what would be the ROI for buying used computers with hard drives and trying to get crypto wallets off them
Probably not great tbh. Would probably work better if you worked in some kind of e-waste facility so you could just get them from there (although probably illegal at that point lol)
VIKING COIN HYPE LETS GOOOOO
I hope if you have a crypto wallet, you take it off the pc before selling it
how many people run DBAN on their PC before selling it tho
at best you can expect people to maybe run format C: if even that
and a regular format like that leaves recoverable data usually, without requiring anything but software you can get from the internet
!8ball Is Manny good in bed?
@subtle hatch, :8ball: Without a doubt.
!8ball are open world games overrated?
@pearl elk, :8ball: Don't count on it.
!8ball is Manny better equipped and more fully functional than Data?
@foggy path, :8ball: Reply hazy, try again.
Uh oh
!8ball is Lore better than Data?
@pearl elk, :8ball: It is certain.
!8ball Can Geordi see through women's clothes
@foggy path, :8ball: As I see it, yes.
Oh Geordi you old perv
!8ball can Geordi defeat Superman?
@pearl elk, :8ball: Outlook not so good.
These are strangely accurate lol
Wait, what? Geordi wore a yellow uniform!
nah he got upgraded
You know he did all of that shit mostly blind? He couldn't see through the visor.
Yeah
this is what Geordi shoulda worn
the shell ruffle helps to disperse the dilithium rays
!8ball are NPCs real people too?
@pearl elk, :8ball: Yes โ definitely.
Grape
but can they have feelings, just because their conscious doesnt make them capable emotions
then we get to the morality of things like plants or trees, they grow, they live, they arnt conscious so maybe kill em all who cares
I honestly feel no guilt for the millions of virtual murders Ive committed in my life
well some are arguable self defense ๐
what was that movie where the smart house comes alive and tried to kill the occupants
This House Possessed?
Ex Machina?
monsy the simpsons had episode of that subjet too
that's not a house is it
Yeah true

!8ball you too
@knotty skiff, :8ball: It is certain.
hmm it musta been a cheap movie, cant find much info on the usual sources
definitely 90-00s
we lost the ๐ guy
yes
he died?
i'm a bit pissed, my mouse is doing double clicks again, not even 2 years old
logitech turned into some wish company
๐ค
2 years is long time for the kind of shit mice I buy lol
I hope you didn't buy the cheapest logi mouse
Those probably aren't so well put together
We have this dollar store kinda thing, they sell mice for 2 euros, but they're pretty decent
~$40
roccat ftw
I don't use them anymore though
always the same shit
I'm vertical mouse gang now
but they fit my hand
Try a G502 or something
it's a similar shape I think
or the MX Master if you don't want the gaming styled stuff
that thing looks like im gonna hurt myself on it ๐
that was ben
not a fan of the g502, its okay but I went back to the previous model
I had a G502 and nothing went wrong in years, I have a G Pro now and it's been similarly good
but these are basically all slightly higher priced models than a M500 which might be why
the master was to expensive, as i've read it has the same shit microswitches
so it will most likely also only last for 2 years
i bet i broke my mouse when responding with grapes here
too many clicks ๐
why are you guys buying such expensive mice lmao
tbh I've never had any click issues on any mouse except Razer lol
can it cook for you or something
how much did yours cost?
My current one is 15 euros
I liked the g500s more, its closer to the mx518
@proud jay link?
Literally bought in a grocery store lmao
cheap mice can be pretty good bang for the buck but they're not as nice in feel
I think it's this one? https://www.amazon.com/OMOTON-Ergonomic-Wireless-Bluetooth-Adjustable/dp/B088LFXJL2
I bought a 5 dollar mouse off dealextreme just to see how it was
and it was just fine but the materials, construction and click and wheel didn't feel as nice as they do on high end logitech's
well, i'm just afraid of wrist pain, thats why i stick to that one logitech model
working >12h some days
i dont ๐
you may want a few mice in reserve for that amount of use
thats why i dont want another mouse xD
well it helps prevent as well
also having a smaller size keyboard helps with ergonomics so you don't have to move your arm 5km to reach between keyboard and mouse
the G Pro actually has a 3 year warranty on it
so if the buttons fail in two... free replacement lol
yea i can still replace the broken mouse, as it was <2 years
which i might actually do for that price
considering they can probably produce it <$5
Yeah I mean if you can get it replaced under warranty then I'd definitely just get that done
or maybe i'm just not the target group, for a normal casual pc user it may work for almost 10 years
considering the amount of clicks i do for BP spaghetti ๐

you should buy a fork for spaghetti
the g502 looks like it would almost qualify as fork
nah you was Mad Catz
is that that kinda rat mouse thing
my m500 is smooth like a grape
If I would buy a normal "mouse", my choice woulb probably be Logitech G305 though
That's one retarded mouse.
it comes in sexy white
G703 is fantastic.
it looks so flat (the G305)
Now this is a mouse.
the only alternative in terms of shape for me would probably be the MX Master
...and a car.
but i don't really need wireless
why no one want MS Surface arc mouse
Just go for ball of steel mouse lol
xD
this looks so dumn and uncomfortable
i looked at it today, it's also flat as ...
i think it's more comfortable than the apple magic mouse
I had to warranty my Logitech G604 after 6 months for double click issue
yea i think they ALL use the same microswitch
For the wireless mice, they are under-volting the switch, which is causing it to fail much faster.
oh i see
It's a problem with all major mouse manufacturers as far as I could tell
If you want to see the super long technical details about it there's a cool youtube video I can dig up.
ive seen someone repair the microswitch
Long story short, the switch deforms over use and is rated for 10x the voltage most mouse companies are using now
by actually opening it, bending the metal back, and closing it (the actual switch)
Yeah that works for wired mice
hmm, i see
The wireless mice have a problem with the face deforming
can swap out the switch if you have any spares
That's the best part, the switch is like $0.25
use mechanical switches in mouse ๐ง
I may have to relearn soldering to fix my mouse every 6months
yea saw the switches, $10 for a pack of 10
Big companies gotta pump those millions in profits by shorting pennies on costs tho
thats why I tend to stick to buying the same brand so I always got a broken one or two kicking around for repairs
but my mouse is broken and i cant work like that, no time for experiments ๐
i'll refund one, then i'll leave that problem for future me, in 3 years when both broke again ๐

This is my first attempt at completing a MX switch mouse, the internals are based off of the logitech g203.

I put my keyboard through too much. Get occaisional double type now
Might have something to do with key caps spontaneously flying off on occaision
wtf do you do with your keyboard my man
What is this? Java again?
Must be possessed ๐ค
I hated my logitech mechanical keyboard so much I went back to membrane for awhile with roccat then switched to mechanical
ew membrane
I used to be a Logitech fanboy, but I'm quite happy with my corsair keyboard now
it wasnt just the mechanicalness of it though logitech completely screwed up the key caps esp of the space bar
I got a RK84 keyboard and put some fake holy panda switches in it and some nice pbt keycaps
very nice
this is amateur, it should be random number between 1200-6000 with a weight to first half

@broken sigil I couldn't resist to ask how many of those rider disk's were produced and I got an answer.
Felt like I should let you know it.
Less than 100 :D

I still think that kid is acting out of malice somewhat
Honestly fuck the mindset of quantity over quality
I know some people, recruiters included, are guilty of it, and it just make things even more crap
The PR itself was completely pointless and pinging every group he could find was stupid. I don't know if he was acting with intentional malice but he absolutely didn't think about what he was doing.
Who other than some little kid who doesn't know better comes into a community and decides to ping a bunch of groups as if they somehow matter more than anyone else?
wait what? what are we talking about? im confused
oh the github thing
At some point in time, barely more than two weeks ago would have been a current event.
well I guess it gave us something to talk about
and a weekend following it of intentional copycats
Its kind of funny that the followon spam behavior didn't happen earlier-- opportunism I guess
๐ฅ
๐
Oh damn, that's pretty neat ๐ฎ
Thanks for doing the research ๐
now that I have internet again I can post proof
Who has CD/dvd nowadays
Now I have my own offline copy of Rider in case of an apocalypse when the whole internet goes down lol
Can you even use it if it boots up and says your licence is out of date?
๐คทโโ๏ธ
But it's pretty cool that something is actually on the DVD
if it's an apocalypse but there's time to code unreal, then there's time to break the protection. If jetbrains didn't survive then I don't think they'd mind
this is a very constrained scenario
Hoard nuka caps
If there's time to code unreal, there's probably still a governing agency. But then the scenario gets even more constrained as either Jetbrains no longer exists and it becomes abandonware, or Jetbrains has to release a new version of the software that uses CD keys.
But if it needs enabling, should it really be considered an offline copy in the first place? Seems like there's a need for a new category of Immediately Outdated Backup distributions.
yeah I really don't know the context, but jetbrains sending a CD that just has the same online installer shoved on to an unfinished CDR doesn't have an amazing ring to it
but it does have a marketing ring to it โจ
there are good reasons to have offline installers available - being able to install to a ton of machines at once without having them download the same thing 20 times is one of them
that has nothing to do with the CD though, the CD isn't a real product. This one isn't at least.
it having an offline installer is just an easter egg
well an offline installer that still needs to check with the internet isn't going to help in the zombie apocalypse
A swag CD that can just barely fit an installer is amusing
better if it's an actual CD and not a DVD
when all the network techs begin eating brains
I'm not sure if it's a CD or DVD tbh
but it being just around 700MB makes me think it could be a CD.
someone brought this up earlier but
If it's in floppy disks, someone needs to be beaten. Or given a Nobel peace prize. Depends if they're 3.5" or 5.25"
I didn't have one either until I bought a USB DVD drive purely to copy some music to my NAS
these days you are definitely in the minority
I mean I could dust off an old drive and toss it in
I have literally a single music CD that I didn't even buy, it was sent to me alongside the purchase of something else lol
but I'd have to take off my full glass front plate
I guess a CD can't pretend to be a keyboard, so it has that going for it still
isn't it kind of insane there's not security prompts when you plug in a HID keyboard for the first time?
I don't know enough to know if it is. I'm surprised that a keyboard wouldn't be treated as a one-way device. "Give it nothing! Take from it ALL THE INPUT."
it is definitely already a one way device
the problem is that upon connecting, windows immediately trusts it
win+R, powershell -Exec curl yadda yadda
i say curl because i have no idea what the powershell verb is
and i know they alias curl to it, because stupid
You'd have to least trust the first keyboard, otherwise how is the user supposed to quickly close the prompt without reading it?
yep, have to trust the first one
but if there's at least one active keyboard, windows could even tell the user what one to type on
or just use the mouse
the likelihood of a mouse device alone being able to compromise a system is fairly low
accessibility though, yes
not saying itd be easy
you lol, but almost anyone here would definitely be immediately suss'ed if a new keyboard showed up when plugging in a USB thumb drive
we dont even have the option ๐ข
which is why jetbrains did nothing wrong
I vaguely recall there being an issue with autoplay back in ye olde times.
nowadays (for about a decade or 1.5) windows doesnt autoplay without confirmation
so its just USB devices that can completely pwn your system without you noticing, not CDs
UAC is lovely, but flawed. In Linux and macOS you have to enter your password to confirm things--- the first time
but social engineering could handle that
Now I'm thinking about the USB plug for storage on residential modems....
i dunno if its relevant, not like residential modems are running a desktop environment, with an administrator user in front of those UIs
anyway, TLDR: dont plug in USB devices you dont trust
Trust only blessed devices.

Yes, that's pretty much polarisation.
I touched today Unity. I feel dirty.
That's very cute :3
for anyone who plays RPGs, why would damage reduction be anything other than multiplicative? IE 50% dr increases your effective health to 2x, 50% from 2 sources is 75% reduction, meaning the second one is still a 2x mod
Borderlands has a weird "Resistance" stat that's both buggy and designed to give heavy marginal returns
Be me, not breaking the streak for almost 7 years.
It was my first time.

@quasi mantle
Sorry, but birds exists.
If anything flying dinos are proto bird
quetz is not a bird
besides controlling the flow of the battle by negatively or positively influencing luck to improve the experience of the gameplay, there are --depending on the RPG-- so many variables that its hard to give solid examples.
race, size, classes, affinity, elemental, luck, hard defense, soft defense, evasion/dodge and others should be taken into account. that can be multiplicative, but also additives and subtractors.
--which made getting perfect builds on ragnarok online, or many mmorpg's for that matter a pain in the beehive--
There are lots and lots of ways to calculate damage formulas. Raw multiplicative DR is about the most basic. You can add intermediate stats that ultimately convert to DR. Additive DR is when the 2 numbers are added instead of multiplied.
I just mean as more of a general rule, making damage reduction multiplicative is the best imo. It's technically linear, it's the most transparent, and I can only imagine that it's the easiest to implement
Terraria's armor stat, for example, is linear, flat damage reduction, but that makes it technically more effective as your stat increases. Diablo's numbers are somewhat high, but at least you can see 50% DR and know it makes you 200% as tanky
imo more of a scaling issue than a problem with that itself
This is analogous to saying peanut butter and jelly sandwich is best. There are LOTS of options out there and LOTS of things to consider when designing the system.
While I don't disagree, I'm struggling to see the advantage of an additive system. Monster Hunter's armor stat is like damage taken = 80/armor+80, meaning it has linear marginal returns while that's not communicated in-game anywhere
Are you making a game targeting young children? You probably don't want DR at all. Instead flat arithmetic modifiers might be more suitable.
reptile, not dino**
Personally I have the percent based damage calculated by the max HP value the character have at the time of receiving the damage. E.g., when character max HP at the time is 5000, 50% damage of it will be -2500 (5000 - 2500 = 2500), even if there is something that raised the max HP, which without it will be 3000.
"Not communicated anywhere in game" is also a design decision
at this point, I'm not really even making a game. Just putting a bunch of systems together in a way that I'd enjoy in a game. But no, not for kids in particular
I mean more that they don't communicate the heavy loss of efficacy
At least in my GDD player's HP can never exceed max HP (like in FF12)
"armor is good" vs "armor is actually bad after 160 because another 80 is only a 25% ehp gain
or just do it like Wasteland 2 and mess up the damage calculations so badly that anything but regular projectile weapons do basically 10% of the damage they promise to do XD
lol
It's not like we have intuitive understanding on specific numbers of how effective armor is IRL by looking at it. Sometimes exploration and experimentation is key to the game, in which case you DON'T want to spell out your system formulas.
while that's true, I think never communicating some of these things is also pretty bad. There are a lot of unknowns, even in games that have been out for quite a while that players can only get a rough idea by testing things, and it can be difficult to tell if some of these things are even working as intended
Also the problem with JRPG health pool is that fixed value for something like fall damage can be unbalanced and less forgiving in early levels
that's kind of a scaling issue, though. In BL2, some damage sources obviously don't scale with level, so a burn might do 5 per second out of 500,000 HP
There is no right answer, it always depends.
Earlier it sounded like you wanted to know some alternatives to multiplicative scale, but it sounds like you've already researched them
So basically make whatever you want
There will ALWAYS be problem with the damage system, and there will ALWAYS be strengths
My most recent "damage system challenge" was designing the damage system for my destruction system I'm making as an alternative to Chaos Destruction.
I still like the idea of the low multiplicative damage scaling. This is health modifier after two sources of 25% DR. Not wildly out of control like Diablo's is, but still a pretty good value depending on how common the sources are
Damage computations get crazy when your single entity could conceivable have hundreds or thousands of sub parts each with "health"
Even the very method of applying damage changes: In classis systems I can repeatedly hit you in the same place and continue to do damage. In a destructible system where stuff is removed, subsequent hits to the same place will start to miss even if the target doesn't move.
It's wild and introduces all new ways to design things
I guess it kind of makes sense? Early levels are character being so brittle, while on later level character is already tough enough to endure more pain.
But at the same time I feel like it can be less forgiving or making progression downright impossible for those doing low level challenges
Particularly if it's environmental
Different perspective, but health potions are a good example on why DR only isn't necessarily the best pick.
If you want health potions to get better as you level, but they are only percentage based - then they are nigh useless at low level when they are only like 5%.
because of flat healing?
I'm saying if you use percentage only
You said DR is percentage only, I'm giving an example (IE: Negative damage) where percentage modifiers are not great.
Though on second thought, I don't think JRPG ever bothered with fall damage at all xD
the way I see it is if effective health = health * (reduction modifier), a 50% heal is always 50% of your EHP
damage reduction should generally be considered a modifer to EHP because generally damage can't be removed entirely
Fall damage can be so much fun. I love games that let me send enemies flying and do them in primarily through fall damage.
Or an alternative: damage taken when they get knocked into stuff.
Destiny phalanx melee, anyone?
Sounds like you have an idea what you want. Good luck putting it all together!
I'll take it into consideration, either fall damage only when the character is in "ragdoll" state, or fall damage regardless of the state
Maybe I have it "fixed" too (as in it's not subtracting by percentage of max HP, but calculated by downward velocity and height threshold)
for how much I complain about the game, Destiny 2's fall damage is actually pretty good imo. It's based on velocity, but caps out at like 90% of the player's health iirc. It's somewhat immersive because you can't just jump off a cliff no-problem, but you also won't just randomly die in a non-combat zone
oooh. it's party parrot but server appropriate!

Wallpaper Engine gallery is dominated by anime wallpapers, I'm sure anime haters complained enough of the difficulty looking for non-anime wallpapers
Wallpaper Engine... is that some standalone app?
Yeah, pretty cheap on Steam
ah
Does it... ,just show you wallpapers?
I have some preselected wallpapers I like. Just share them across my PCs using the cloud.
Basically loose successor to Windows Dreamscene, showing wallpapers but animated
So that's its only purpose?
Yeah. Overhead depends on the scene. Simple 2D scene wallpapers (with flow maps and particles) isn't that costly compared to video (which most anime WE wallpapers are), 3D scene, or even an executable.
That means you can put a UE4 app as a wallpaper with it.
That's pretty cool
any rumors about when 5.1 is coming out?
Can just take automated waifu screenshots from Cash Impact.
Do we look like gossipers?
I humbly refuse.
Also looking at sparse commit at ue4 master branch kinda makes me sad tbh
https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commits/master
Feels like being alone in the same place that used to held crowded party all the time
/release
For these branches they do batch commit when the time comes, unless it is a current dev.
Unreal Engine 5 is the after party
I think we should make UE4 run in an IE window
sounds like Halloween party or whatever the party for dead is
Monster Bash
@nova herald I'm curious, how do you see UE's Actor/component setup different than Godot's Scene/node setup? An actor would pretty much just be a scene in Godot.

Unreal Engine 5.1 Release Notes
Overview of new and updated features in Unreal Engine 5.1
Unreal Engine 5.1 enables game developers and creators across industries to realize next-generation real-time 3D content and experiences with greater freedom, fidelity, and flexibility than ever before.
We are empowering big and small teams to really push the boundaries of what's possible, visually and interactively, with the ability to:
Create massive virtual worlds on intense console or dedicated PC
Bring 3D gameplay to genres unseen in historyโnative VR is within reach!
Support simultaneous development using UI controllers, directional input, stick functionality on general-purpose desktops and modern consoleยญ designs, keyboards/mice/keyboards on legacy systems, & others
Scale down landscapes by bringing tricky real-time elements lower into pipelines (terrain Debris is trivial, lighting fog/rain comes lategame), increase file size runtimes across storytime & device driver normalization routines OR use the same technology that hosted blockbuster movies and AAA videogames for zero Gigabytes on first byte, or hundreds X Gigabytes second byte depending on OS.
Ultra informative ancientpedia objects component state cleansing or digest prioritization without legacy roadmaps.

this is what I got using no prompt and 1.1 Sampling Temperature:
CALIFORNIA โ Thousands of residents in Northern Californiaโs wine country braced for long-awaited evacuations as authorities raised the number of homes and businesses destroyed in wildfires there to nearly 7,000 on Tuesday.
Residents of Lake Countyโs Spring Valley were ordered to leave their homes Monday night. The blaze, known as the Tubbs Fire, ransacked the town of Sonoma and destroyed the Calistoga areaโs continuing fire station on Old Redwood Highway, authorities said. A nearby shooting range also burned to the ground.
The Kaiser Permanente Medical Center was ordered evacuated, but staff members were allowed to stay for now, CNN affiliate KPIX reported.
โThis afternoon, the Tubbs Fire burned the Greater Eller Community in Sonoma County, destroying the communications tower on top of Mt. Saint Helena, preventing emergency services agencies from coordinating their efforts and warning citizens,โ the Sonoma County Sheriffโs Office said in a statement.
ok I officially hate this ai
Hot reload sucks, we get it. But it makes a lot of sense for most sites, and if youโre investing a great deal in tools like in-browser analytics, no pressure. Start hot reloading and weโll fix this post.

How to add features to the Lyra Starter Game for Unreal Engine 5.0
If youโve been following along with my previous article, youโve probably noticed how I made my own solution for the common problem of mapping particle effects to a main weapon. But hereโs a quick recap of my solution. The particle effect code is typically embedded in the background layer of the particle system. So I simply need to manually update the reference material after each use and keep the other references updated.
Luckily thereโs a feature of the particle system included in the UE4 SDK, called the Static Clip Reference, that allows you to create a static reference to a clip in the current material. To be precise, the actual method doesnโt require any arguments, so itโs very straightforward to use. Hereโs a quick snippet of the provided code:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class ExamplePlasmicEffect : MonoBehaviour
{
public void Overrun()
{
// Update the static clip
WatchAndUpdateChecked(Update());
// Update the main reference for the particle effect
Update();
}
}
Notice the use of the public (and static) type used to represent the clip reference, Update() which updates the material and Update() which updates the particle effect.
Easy as pie? Maybe not. That being said, this is an easy way to add a particle effect to a particle system. But the problem of adding different effects to different weapon types comes up. For instance, letโs say you have a two-handed weapon, but you need to apply different weapon types to your particle system, so your particle system will fire different types of projectiles depending on what weapon itโs equipped with. Hereโs a quick code snippet:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class ExamplePlasmicEffect : MonoBehaviour
{
public void Overrun()
{
// Update the static clip
WatchAndUpdateChecked(Update());
// Update the main reference for the particle effect
Update();
// Update the two-handed weapon particle effect based on the current weapon
Update();
// Update the single-handed weapon particle effect based on the current weapon
Update();
}
}
Iโll explain the code below:
Update();
This is actually pretty straightforward. Update() calls Update() to update the main reference for the particle effect and Update() updates the two-handed weapon particle effect based on.
@kind lily I loved the first deus ex. Great for it's time.
@kind lily did you work on that game?
yes
using UnityEngine;
just because you dont understand it, means that its wrong
indeed
I like how it seems like it is actually explaining something but in reality it has no clue what it is talking about lol
sounds like some of my coworkers
If my dxdiag shows 16GB of ram but my explorer indicates that only 8GB is being used
could that Ram be improperly installed?
that message is what most other channels here look like to me, they seem to be explaining something but idk what
not if you press hard enough
but is that an actual possible cause no cap?
no
cause I find it weird that dxdiag is showin 16 and task manager only 8
that is so wild
it shows 8gb total?
ok no wai
maybe it scales the graph?
we feel your grapes, you can't escape
In Unreal I can't make an actor class that contains other actors
Not just attach parent but HAS A relationship. ChildActorComponent is the closest but it's shit and awkward.
do you mean 2x 2in => 2 out?
I mean like you have 2 screens, so you need 2 outs, but I want to swap between 2 input devices so 2 in as well
wait
I'm being dumb
then you need 4 in 2 outs?
am I dumb?
no
not this time
you need 2 inputs for each device
so 4 if you want to switch 2 screens between 2 devices
unless i'm dumber than you
so 4 in 2 out?
i guess
does that exist?
maybe, but i wouldn't count on it
ah yeah I just found one
does your screens not have 2 inputs?
but you underestimate my laziness
well, i've seen a neat hack the other day, but it would require some effort....
and an mcu
yes
it uses the DDC line of the screens to tell them to switch input
I'm injecting DDC commands via VGA i2c pins, to change active input on the monitors and at same time with small relay I'm replugging usb hub from server to laptop and vice versa. Keyboard and mouse is connected to the hub. Switch is initialized by hand gestures detected by two IR diodes and one IR receive diode in the middle. In the future, I'll...
how do you think the linked kvm would switch?
mind power?
that requires mind power
actually buying 2 2to1 hdmi switches is cheaper though
but then you need to switch 2 inputs smh
then you have to push 2 buttons tho
or maybe buy two with a external switch and try to hook it up to both ๐
actually the gesture setup doesnt even an mcu
but would be cooler with one, if you could just do a shortcut on your keyboard
and it switches screens/keyboard/mice to the other host
but yea, too much innovation for china kvms
that's a rare treasure
That's fair. I find it to still be easily workable personally.

Luigi was Mario's cousin, but in Super Mario Bros they had the same sprite, different colour. I call bs on that one.
It's mostly just UX complaints. Like if I want to prefab a vehicle with my system (vehicle building game, all parts are actors), I have to do it in the In-game editor. I can't just subclass Vehicle because it's assembled out of actors and put together at runtime.
The dream would just be able to nest actor classes together, which is the Godot approach.
you would make an actor component
Oh - I'm super aware of the Godot approach (5+ years of using it)
But the thing inside of the vehicle is an actor, or at least an associated bundle of components. This is for modular stuff like Kerbal Space Program
then the newer hybrid Entity Component System might be worth looking into
Lyra should have an example of it
Oh, don't get me wrong; I do prefer Godot's workflow (personally, I think it's the best of the main engines).
