Interesting, new ThinkPad are with Ryzen. Intel's reign is over (kek)

I really need to have my laptop fixed at some point

pearl elk
celest musk
#

you mean "how should i waste the resources of my company in the remaining time?"

cursive crypt

or maybe I should keep working, moving up the timeline of my life and retire like 6 years early ๐Ÿค”

graceful sequoia
#

alright I guess

#

in America it doesn't work that way

proud jay
#

being born rich is the leading cause of being rich

That plan is on track pretty well for me

no, goldieter

cursive crypt
#

Nice

proud jay
#

nah, I think I'd rather join a debate club

proud jay
#

I don't hink you have been either, insulting people that don't agree with you is not debating

#

I think you accidentally typed my name instead of yours at the end there

heh

#

It's such a fucking joke this guy is like "pls help me how to get a job"

#

and the rest of the time he's harassing people

#

if you're being an asshole like this IRL then no wonder you can't find a job

#

:p

Dieter was literally helping you by answering your questions about getting a job

#

Why are you being such an ass towards him all of a sudden?

#

<@&213101288538374145> can we finally get a mod to do something about this guy

It's a twitch emote on my channel, you get to post those anywhere without nitro

deep copper
#

:O

foggy path
#

No need for zomgmoMoneybag

#

lol

deep copper
#

i thought discord banned all those stuff

#

or stopped

foggy path
#

For other twitch emotes besides your own channel I think you still need nitro

no wait wrong reply

oof

quasi mantle

#

it truly iszomgmoAussieKappa

#

I should probably have better emotes because zomgmoGud is the only one I ever use tbh

deep copper
#

that's really a, unique choice of emoji xD

foggy path
#

I have a bunch of crap I drew in paint in a minute like the money bag and zomgmoFace

#

lol

quasi mantle
#

I guess pog and its variant isn't allowed

foggy path
#

the money bag is my only tier 3 emote so that's why it's a money bag alex

deep copper
foggy path
#

oh yeah I also have zomgmoNinja

#

which is a character model from my game :P

deep copper
#

i am witnessing an emoji revolution in this server ig, we had so less before for years

quasi mantle

#

Niagara Fluids burning heart on fire

deep copper
foggy path
#

nah

#

since I can't model characters and we needed some for the game, I just took some stuff off Mixamo... I added the ninja as a joke even though it didn't really make any sense

#

but now it's an integral part of the game's sense of humor lol

#

I did add a headband to it that says "ninja" on it as an homage to some really bad ninja movies that I like watching

foggy path
deep copper
foggy path
#

yeah although it's mostly thanks to the fantastic voice acting from my friend

graceful sequoia
foggy path
#

Is it?

#

It worked pretty well for me tbh

#

But I'm not doing anything super complicated, just basic walking anims and some idle anims

graceful sequoia
#

the retargeting is rough when using Manny animations

foggy path
#

Ah, yeah I just used the ones off mixamo

graceful sequoia
#

yeah

#

I had a lot of Manny animations

#

so it was not... great

foggy path
#

The only issue I ran into was that the materials for hair were kinda jank and I had to spend ages trying to figure out how it should be done so it looked good

graceful sequoia
#

ended up not using anything from there

celest musk
#

wouldn't it be easier to convert the mixamo char to the manny rig?

foggy path
#

still doesn't look as good as it does on the Mixamo preview on their website but at least it's kinda ok

graceful sequoia
#

also wasn't very impressed with what I could get

#

ended up with much better characters on the UE store, but $$$

foggy path
#

Yeah most of them don't really fit together that well

#

I have one of the woman models, the business suit guy and the ninja in mine, will probably have to figure out how to get more at some point but I don't think they'll be from Mixamo :D

#

I added some variety to it by using some material tricks to recolor parts of the clothes at random, and gave them random hats lol

graceful sequoia
#

in ue5 from what I understand, with the ik rig retargeting, it's way easier to port mixamo stuff

foggy path
#

I've been wondering if it would be easy'ish to make character models with something like Character Creator

#

but I've not tried it out yet

#

I mean Metahumans is there of course, but I don't know if I want that kind of super high realism, and at least last time I tried it the clothing selection was pretty bad

#

Yeah I guess, depends on if it fits stylistically

#

Not that we have any kind of style anyway because although my friend can do models I don't know if they really have a very well defined art style lol

proud jay
#

showing excellent debate skills

foggy path
#

tbh I wonder if he had some kind of mental issues when he really seemed to go between jackass troll and regular person so much :P

proud jay
#

yeah I genuinely did not realize it was the same guy asking questions in #career-chat lol

pearl elk
#

Character Uncreator

proud jay
#

until you mentioned it

foggy path
#

heh

graceful sequoia
#

ohhhh

#

American Patriot got banned???

#

bummer!

#

welp

#

guess we'll proceed with our lives

foggy path
proud jay
#

@graceful sequoia if you pay for nitro anyway, why not have animated pfp

#

and profile banner

#

it can all be manny

graceful sequoia
#

I did for a minute

cursive crypt
#

I also offer paid nitro.

proud jay
#

I think steam sales just started

#

got an email that 9 of my wishlisted games are on sale

celest musk
#

yea summer sales

cursive crypt
#

uuh 9 wishes?

#

What were you thinking?

celest musk
#

i wish i had something to play, but on the other hand not much gains my interest ๐Ÿ˜„

proud jay
celest musk
#

end of day, it's just a waste of time

cursive crypt
#

If you have catched a golden fish or a genie - 3

foggy path
#

I have a lot of games in my backlog so it feels a bit wrong to buy games... but pretty much all of my backlog games are just stuff I got for free so I never was like "oh yeah I want to play this enough to pay for it"

#

So I might snag something from the sales

#

Frog Detective 2 is whispering in my ear to buy it

#

lol

proud jay
#

lol that looks kinda funny

foggy path
#

Yeah I really enjoyed the first one, it's only about an hour to finish it which is a shame

#

It's just sort of goofy and feel good fun

cursive crypt
#

I have so many games in the Lib that I have no wish to even start.

celest musk
#

might get doom eternal and play it in the winter or something

cursive crypt
#

Wait, Epic my release it for free in the next few years.

#

offside: I love that feeling of untainted, clean, state of a computer.

#

Ready for Debian

celest musk
#

doubt

#

they would probably rather release doom from 2016 or something

cursive crypt
#

That's why I said next few years. Why hurry?

celest musk
#

well, id software is one of the few studios which might deserve a few bucks ๐Ÿ˜„

#

their games are usually pretty flawless

foggy path
#

Doom Eternal is great

#

I actually played through it on Nightmare which was a bit of an effort lol

#

Main complaints I've seen about it are just that some people don't like the fact it sort of encourages you to switch guns a lot, but it's really just a question of which kind of gameplay you enjoy

pearl elk
#

I know someone who hated it cuz they ran out of ammo too much

fleet tangle
#

I didn't like it because it was generic and boring. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

foggy path
#

yeah you have to sort of play the "combat puzzle" a bit

#

do all the things that give you ammo and stuff

pearl elk
#

I didnt use the abilities at first but you kinda have to if you want to conserve armour

foggy path
celest musk
#

generic can be okay, if the gameplay compensates for it

#

see minecraft :p

foggy path
#

the BFG 10 000 was pretty fucking dope

#

you can't call that generic

#

lol

pearl elk
#

yeah I love the environmental art in both Doom games they are great

fleet tangle
#

I don't remember, played it ages ago.

pearl elk
#

the music just adds to the overall ambience

fleet tangle
#

I liked the one before Eternal.

#

Was that just "Doom" again?

foggy path
#

Doom (2016)

#

:P

#

I need to play Wolfenstein The New Order again... I keep remembering it had really cool design like the whole part where you go to the moon base

fleet tangle
#

Ah the moon base.

foggy path
pearl elk
#

||I like the bit where you lose your head||

#

in wolf

foggy path
#

haha

#

isn't that in The New Colossus

#

which was significantly more generic :P

pearl elk
#

yeah I think so, same with the wheelchair sequence

celest musk
#

yea was in NC

#

which i played before New Order ๐Ÿ˜ญ

foggy path
#

Gotta listen to some BFG Division now

celest musk
#

so idk if i should give new order still a go

pearl elk
#

they are great shooters though thats what I love about em, none of this collect all the widgets across a 132km map or silly things like that

#

just heres a linear story, here have some big guns

foggy path
#

I guess the one thing that 2016 did better was the soundtrack

celest musk
#

i liked how NC has some stealthy gameplay in it

#

quite enjoyed that

#

is that also in New Order?

foggy path
#

Eternal had a good soundtrack as well but none of it really stood out so much

pearl elk
#

there was one I really enjoyed from Eternal it was the alien cathedral world bit

foggy path
#

was it the one with the fucking jumping puzzles

fleet tangle
#

Doesn't get better than e1m1

foggy path
#

that part was painful

pearl elk
#

yeah jumping puzzles but the music was great ๐Ÿ˜›

foggy path
#

haha

#

I watched some speedrun of it and there were so many exploits in the jumps that you could use to make it a lot faster and easier lol

pearl elk
#

its crazy to me when I play a game like those Dooms then go to others I find myself looking for spots to double jump dash or monkey bars

#

then I get all disappointed when I cant find any

foggy path
#

heh

fleet tangle
#

Heh.

#

I get a bit the same with parkour games.

foggy path
#

Yeah my retro fps project has crouchsliding and walljumping, the sliding works pretty well and I find myself trying to slide in other games

#

the walljumping needs a bit more work to make it really smooth and nice, but at least the basic thing works

fleet tangle
#

Dying Light 2 was pretty great.

pearl elk
#

sliding can be alot of fun when its done right, was playing that retro one with the chainsaw leg thats a clever take on that mechanic

foggy path
#

Ah yeah Turbo Overkill

#

Yeah that's an interesting implementation of a slide for sure

#

I just couldn't get into that game much otherwise... I mean it's good but it's just.. I don't know

pearl elk
#

I like the idea of chaining kills but you really have to know the map design well enough to make the best use of it

foggy path
#

In my game we have a mechanic for "adrenaline"

#

You gain adrenaline from kills and a whole bunch of other stuff, and it basically just makes you more powerful in various ways like giving you extra abilities to use and at least currently it also soaks up damage

pearl elk
#

Im guessing thats like a form of push forward combat to keep the loop going as long as possible

foggy path
#

Yeah and to just encourage you to go balls to the wall essentially lol

pearl elk
#

yup over defensive play is a valid tactic but its not that entertaining

#

could you imagine the next big esport, its the most realistic ww2 game made... its called hide in your foxhole

#

matches only take 3-4 months to play out

foggy path
#

lol

mossy nexus
#

WW1 - You start in the trenches and then slowly walk towards the enemy machine gunners. Closest to the enemy trench wins.

pearl elk
#

so thats where squid game stole it from

mossy nexus
#

A game where squids walk? A game where squids walk towards enemy machine gunners? Cool.

Then try finishing Nightmare (or even Ultra NM) with gamepad kappa

Also I'm suck at doing claw grip with Xbox controllers tbh, just because the left thumbstick is on the upper side

proud jay
#

pearl elk
#

I like my bool lean and my whiskey rotund

proud jay
#

doesn't help the code I'm working on was rammed together quickly by a guy that doesn't work at the company anymore, but is now too large to completely refactor in a timely manner

mossy nexus
#

Just delete it, blame it on a system bug.

proud jay
#

unfortunately it's pretty crucial

#

idk how it happened but somehow I became owner of 3 of the 4 packages my team of 5 people maintains

#

so much effort

tulip orbit
#

port it to java

proud jay
#

we use jinja templates and shit

mossy nexus
#

Use UE5's new retargeting... bound to work.

proud jay
#

it's basically template files where you can use variables to determine what things are replaced by

#

advanced string replace

#

but basically with a python interpreter in it as well

#

for conditional things and shit

mossy nexus
#

and no doubt expertly commented, and documented? ๐Ÿ˜„

proud jay
#

good one

#

there were literally no comments in it before I took it over

deep copper
proud jay
#

not me

#

they

deep copper
#

they? all those lorashes?

#

"lorashs" just didn't sound right xD

proud jay
#

boys, do you ever clean your keyboards

#

my keycaps are getting kinda dirty

mossy nexus
#

yup. clean them often, but then my keyboard generally stays pretty clean most of the time.

proud jay
#

need to get a second pair of keycaps for maximum efficieny to work while cleaning

#

not the default ones, they are ugly

soft night

that shit is free so i dont need to take good care of it or sumthing

well the world would prolly be worse off without linux

I made millions because the prince of nigeria contacted me one time, such a nice fellow, nigeria is lucky to have him

that's actually believable

it might have been an indirect contact for something and you might have made millions in the process of loosing most of it

Wondering, anybody here uses Rider?

#

I have been trying to unsucesfully set it up for UE5 for the past 2 hours and I think I am going a bit insane lol

broken sigil
#

I'm using it with UE5
What issues are you having?

#

Just don't install the Rider link plugin into the engine and instead into the project and it should work fine

weak garnet
#

It only lists VS and CLion for some reason

#

Using UE5

broken sigil
#

You can just directly open the sln with rider

weak garnet
#

does it offer the same features?

broken sigil
#

yes

weak garnet
#

hmmm gonna give it a try

#

I am 100% done with intellisense slowness and VS so I am hoping rider helps me there

broken sigil
#

There is Rider source code access plugin in UE5 you might need to enable to get it to show up in the menu in editor but it doesn't add much
Basically when adding new classes through the editor (which you should be doing through your IDE anyways) and double clicking on BP nodes it opens up your IDE you selected, I don't think selecting it in UE does anything else
You can just open the sln with Rider

proud jay
#

hey Blue, while you're here, could you maybe pin this in #cpp pretty please? #cpp message

#

only if you really want to of course ๐Ÿ˜„

weak garnet
#

haha

#

How do I enable it

#

?

proud jay
#

you can even open your .uproject with rider

#

no need for an sln even

proud jay
weak garnet
#

not on my end

weak garnet
#

yeah, no, nothing like that

#

I dont even see Rider for Unreal Engine anywhere on my dotUltimate installer

proud jay
#

that doesn't exist anymore

#

it was merged into Rider

weak garnet
#

explains a lot

#

haha

#

Okay, I see the issue now

#

the dotUltimate installer is botched

#

using the standalone rider installer works

#

what a mess

#

I had to uninstall everything and reinstall it individually

#

maybe its VAC related? the dotUltimate installer asked for elevation, the normal one doesnt, maybe some permission issue?

#

but anyways, thank you!

broken sigil
proud jay
#

Thanks ๐Ÿ™

broken sigil
#

I didn't even know there was a specific dot ultimate installer
I just installed it by downloading this

weak garnet
#

jetbrains page is a mess

#

I used whatever I got from my email license

broken sigil
#

Ah

weak garnet
#

googling directs me to like 3 different links

proud jay
#

I really need to try to convince my IT department to let me install Rider on work machine

broken sigil
#

Yeah I went to the licenses page on my account and downloaded it through there

proud jay
#

It's nice for c# development

weak garnet
#

we are in boys

#

I was so fed of intellisense

#

it would take literally minutes for simple suggestions sometimes

proud jay
#

yeah vanilla vs is not great with unreal

#

you want either visual assist, resharper or just use Rider

weak garnet
#

for some reason I wasnt able to build today for an hour so that pushed me to finally buy dotUltimate

proud jay
#

the good thing is dotultimate is only 10 bucks more than just rider

#

which includes resharper as well

weak garnet
#

yup! Thats why I went for it haha

proud jay
#

also nice that if you just pay for a year, you can keep that version without paying for it anymore

#

just need to pay for updates

weak garnet
#

Not a fan of that business model tbf

#

but yeah, at least i get to keep it

broken sigil
#

Also it's cheaper each year
3rd year onwards is something like 30% off

weak garnet
#

as a side note

#

I just installed the rider link plugin and autocompletion stopped worked almost entirely lol

#

hahaha

#

Any easy fix/way to remove it ?

#

gonna try restarting UE first

broken sigil
#

Rider link shouldn't affect autocompletion
It's for some extra features when working with UE, like reading UE logs and BP inspection

weak garnet
#

after installing it, it started showing up the errors, before that I had no errors

weak garnet
#

almost all UE structures cant resolve

broken sigil
#

In the settings in Rider enable indexing of unreal modules and plugins

weak garnet
proud jay
#

if you only just started for the first time the indexing might take a while

weak garnet
#

its enabled already

proud jay
#

give it a little time

#

potentially restart

broken sigil
#

I have indexing of plugins enabled too

broken sigil
#

replied to the wrong message the first time

weak garnet
#

it isnt indexing anymore

#

It actually finished indexing before I installed the rider plugin

#

I get this message too

broken sigil
#

That's probably why
Try exiting, generate project files again (.uproject right click), then open rider and under File->Invalidate Cache

weak garnet
#

let me give it a shot

broken sigil
proud jay
#

damn that 150 price is before taxes ๐Ÿ˜ญ

weak garnet
#

okay, trying again

#

its certainly doing something

#

still getting this message tho

broken sigil
#

Are you opening the sln or the uproject file

weak garnet
#

I am double clicking a blueprint parent class from the editor

#

so most likely the sln

broken sigil
#

Open the sln directly

#

At least the first time so it generates everything that it has to

proud jay
#

also never compile with editor open unless live coding btw

broken sigil
#

not sure if what you are doing might be messing with it in some way

weak garnet
#

it was working before installing the plugin

#

;w;

proud jay
#

idk about that, never used riderlink

weak garnet
#

worst part is that disabling the plugin didnt work either haha

#

nope, still broken

broken sigil
#

Yeah try opening with sln directly

weak garnet
#

Did that

broken sigil
#

Ok try this
delete this folder

weak garnet
#

thats opening the sln directly

broken sigil
#

And then open sln

#

might be a hidden folder

weak garnet
#

okay, reopening

#

nope

#

still broken

proud jay
#

time to become potato farmer I guess

weak garnet
#

I am gonna reinstall

#

nuclear option but this is forcing my hand

#

I am a software engineer with shipped games I cant even begin to imagine what newbies must suffer when setting this up lol

broken sigil
#

What version of Rider is that 2022.1?

weak garnet
#

yep latest

broken sigil
#

Yeah that should work fine with UE5

weak garnet
#

second uninstall of the day

#

hahaha

broken sigil
#

Make sure you install the rider link plugin into the project if you are on UE5

weak garnet
#

as soon as It finishes installing I am gonna check it out

#

I think I might skip rider link at this point

broken sigil
#

Yeah you can, it will work fine without it

weak garnet
#

Rest of the team is using VS so I dont wanna introduce git plugin issues

broken sigil
#

I have it added to git/p4 ignore

weak garnet
#

I am a bit new to UE, gitignoring the plugin and changing the editor settings wont break anything for the rest of the team?

#

I am mostly a Unity dev so I am getting used to the environment haha

proud jay
#

what editor settings do you mean

weak garnet
#

this is after a fresh reinstall

Lost for words here, it doesnt even offer me a way to reinstall the plugin in the game folder instead of engine

weak garnet
#

4th reinstall

#

stuck here now

#

wanna scream

#

this is me trying to set up rider

#

LOL

#

it just refuses to work

#

I got dotUltimate so I have resharper

#

u.u

#

I been stuck here for 4 hours

unreal cedar
#

isn't that RD error just the plugin install issue

#

remove RiderLink from your engine install

#

install to the project instead

#

or that

weak garnet
#

I cant do that

unreal cedar
#

wat

weak garnet
#

option wasnt available, so now I went for a clean reinstall

unreal cedar
#

go to your engine folder

weak garnet
#

but it cant even open the VS Solution at all

unreal cedar
#

go to plugins

#

go to developer

#

delete RiderLink

weak garnet
#

Yep I tried that on the last reinstall

unreal cedar
#

then go to rider settings

#

search for RiderLink

#

make sure it isn't set to install to the engine

thorny dock
#

I thought it's preferred to install it per project instead of per engine? Is that still the case?

weak garnet
#

I never got the popup to reinstall the plugin again, and the action wasnt aVAILABLE either

weak garnet
#

right now I am on a clean install, shouldnt at least be able to see the project?

unreal cedar
#

no

#

because RiderLink is still installed

#

uninstalling rider doesn't magically remove RiderLink from a completely unrelated directory

#

so once again, check your settings and then delete RiderLink from your engine

weak garnet
#

hahahaha

unreal cedar
#

you can access settings without opening a project

#

rider's "open project" page on launch has an option to open settings somewhere

#

the other thing you can do is delete RiderLink, generate the sln without rider, then open the sln with rider.

weak garnet
#

okay so, I am on settings

unreal cedar
#

it's because intellij stores per-project settings which it obviously can't load if the projects aren't there

weak garnet
#

what should I do here

#

changed it to game

#

how do I delete it from the engine

unreal cedar
#

by going to engine\plugins\developer

#

and deleting it

#

not within rider

#

just in an explorer window

#

that's one of the things I actually like - I can tell it to store settings per-project, per-computer, or for everyone who uses it.

weak garnet
#

okay, deleted it

#

xsolution still refuses to open

unreal cedar
#

generate your project without rider

#

right click the uproject file, generate visual studio project files

weak garnet
#

this was a VS solution, do you want tme to generate the project files again?

#

gotcha

#

also, wdym without rider?

unreal cedar
#

I mean that rider is failing to generate project files so stop using it until you figure out why.

graceful sequoia
#

this isnt loading uproject instead of sln is it? i assume that isnt as terrible as it was during EA but

unreal cedar
#

if you can successfully generate the sln then you can open that in rider.

graceful sequoia
#

only loosely following

unreal cedar
#

uproject works fine these days

weak garnet
#

I do have the sln

#

I regenerated it again

unreal cedar
#

rider sometimes doesn't report project generation errors though

#

ok, open it in rider

weak garnet
#

Doing something now

#

sigh this is such a mess

#

I feel I am doing stuff I had done before

unreal cedar
#

the mess is that jetbrains still hasn't updated RiderLink despite fixing this issue a while ago

Would I watch a docu-reality show about working at Jetbrains? Yes. Would I get PTSD from reliving similar projects. Yes

#

this is without Rider Link

#

I am afraid of installing rider link now

unreal cedar
#

yes, riderlink has nothing to do with this

weak garnet
#

LOL

unreal cedar
#

riderlink is fine as long as you install it to the project

weak garnet
#

yeah i will not

#

my brain hurts

#

this were the least productive 4 hours of my year by far

robust shale
#

My relationship with Unreal editor and Jetbrains is a lot like growing up when my parents divorced. "Oh, I'm going over there for a while"

#

hot/live coding seems but a promise

weak garnet
#

as a unity dev it boggles my mind that you have to close the project, rebuild the solution (~3 minutes), and reopen UE whenever you do minimal c++ changes or try using live coding, watch it crash 80% of the time and have to do the other option anyways

robust shale
#

Yes, c++ and the dev environment is the worst thing about Unreal. I mean its atrociously, hilariously bad. C# blows it out of the water any way. Still better than Unity tho

#

yeah you typically work against the uproject these days

#

With Rider (tm)

weak garnet
#

Interested on this lol

#

oh, yeah I am doing regular builds

#

it just takes, a long time

#

yes

#

It's D sadly

#

its a big project, not AAA but its indeed big

#

been stuck here for like 20 minutes

#

I have no space left sadly

robust shale
#

Yeah, startup time is way worse for me than compile time

weak garnet
#

F and D are mechanical

#

everything else is full to the brim with sample libraries

#

and the project is 80~gb so I am stuck

robust shale
#

If you want to just compile fast, use VS

weak garnet
#

VS took a while too

#

is there a magic setting I am missing

#

today I wasnt able to build anything

#

20~30 minutes of being stuck

#

my experience doesnt make sense, maybe something went wrong with a file or something

#

or maybe everybody is a masochist and have to deal with this kind of bs on the daily

LOL

#

Wait, I get this but you still have to close the project right

makes sense

I wish, I used Maximo Livelink, it was an already made Animation I just retargeted it, but recently I learnt the they added animation Rig to Metahumans so I will try to use it a bit in my next project, I do eventually want to buy equipment for motion capture in the near future, I am just so pumped ๐Ÿ˜„ took me years to decide what I want to do with my Life, I left programming and want to pursue Animation, more specifically, Movie sequences in games or a short Film ๐Ÿ˜„ , I have planned out my next 6 years of my life around this passion ๐Ÿ˜„ , the best part is I am super motivated, I went from wanting to do my masters in Data Science to now pursuing Animation ๐Ÿ˜„ , although I have a long long road as I need to learn alot. Creating Animations/Assets from Scratch e.t.c . my programming side is decent so I am chill about that ๐Ÿ˜„

not an expert or anything but could be that its not picking up the file, maybe check if the file there exist and if the location in lyra is the same as the file.

my username for years was MegaMan because I loved Mega Man (more points for more unoriginality)

Hmm. Play more game or switch over to game dev for a bit. Dont know what I'm doing in my game so I'm thinking of trying to find some good blender modelling tutorials to improve my skills

I'm planning on going to college but does anyone here have a job in programming with no degree? Just curious

trail wedge
#

also some people genuinely learn in school

bleak remnant
#

Right ic

trail wedge
#

I don't have a degree, and it's made things more difficult but I also have been good at networking

#

and that's a must if you don't meet the HR reqs

#

also keep in mind school gives you a starting network

#

life is pay to win after all

Ic

#

Alright then

trail wedge
#

Over here every job claims they need 3-5 years experience AND a degree.... so in reality we all get around something to get started.

It's really about making connections and using them or getting a degree to avoid this in the US.

#

Remember I live near DC... it only gets worse here

#

They already want 5 years experience with 2 year old tech sometimes

#

and that's the jobs that don't want a clearance where you need to give up your privacy forever

#

cause that's a thing too here

tribal geyser
#

Same here as well

trail wedge
#

not every military project is public

tribal geyser
#

Oh yeah but you're still contracted through the public service

trail wedge
#

but yeh also the boring programming jobs (I had one with RFID stuff)

trail wedge
#

MGS is only kinda parody

#

Half the stuff in the UE new projects window isn't "games" anymore also... I bet there are tons of architectures firms in the DMV using UE to do virtual tours and to document wires/pipes in buildings

#

I have a friend that works in a company that does this with photography and 3d scans

tribal geyser
#

Absolutely, and you can fully capitalize on that
Tho unsure how many people are applying for those jobs, industry was very much Unity focused so was very easy applying jobs with UE experience but i suspect that has changed a fair bit now days. At least for entry level positions

trail wedge
#

VR is the key

tribal geyser
#

Did my time with VR, never again haha

trail wedge
#

these companies (rightly or wrongly) are super invested in it for non-game stuff

#

they're throwing money at it like crazy in the DoD

#

think training simulators

#

again... MGS was joking but it's real now

tribal geyser
#

yeah absolutely, defense here as been the same for many a year

#

Especially since DK1 for oculus

#

dramatically reduced costs for them

trail wedge
#

I remember when the Air Force bought a ton of PS3s when they were new (and had Linux) to use them as a cluster. The military has it's eyes on gaming

#

so I guess how this all relates back... there are all sorts of jobs (even just talking about UE ones) out there for programming. Connections are the key to getting one

#

school can give you connections but it's expensive in some places

tribal geyser
#

yeah look the only reason i'd suggest people going to uni now is if
1 ) they need direction
2 ) (and the biggest factor) networking

#

if you were making a 2d game in unreal engine

#

would you use ui

#

or put 2d actors in the world

#

I suppose if you pass the bar exam youre a lawyer degree or not ๐Ÿ˜›

#

my favourite are honourary degrees

tribal geyser
#

obviously, but we were talking in the context of programming

bleak remnant
tribal geyser
#

Review of what?

bleak remnant
#

That you got a degree in uni

tribal geyser
#

It would look better then nothing but what you could achieve in 3-4 years of actually making games would be measurably more

#

What sort of "where" are you talking?

#

The degree makes a difference in pushing you higher up the pile but if you have actual experience, that's far more valuable

#

In games? And I'm guessing the US?

#

Wonder how long ago that was

bleak remnant
#

lets just say they were applying for a company with unreal and got a degree in like html or something, would they consider or still off the table

#

hello

bleak remnant
#

ik it is irrelevant, it's just an example, are they rejecting them because they think they were irresponsible for not going to college? Or because they don't have the c++ course experience to back it up

#

if that makes sense

You need something to show you're worth taking a risk.

#

which diploma would be better for someone whose new to the industry? game dev or comp sci

untold dove
#

my friends who worked as devs said they went indie because overworked and so on, is this true?

#

and told me to avoid it as someone new

Yeah, crunch work is more expected in Asia
Speaking as native Asian myself

But I think with comp sci degree, you'll have easier time getting hired on software development in general
