yeah it made a self portrait of sorts I guess with this one but at least it's in the expected style

can you use quotations and add/subtract for terms?
"fantasy artwork" + "Boris Vallejo style"
something like that

I see some people trying to use "unreal engine" as a stylistic direction for it
which is weird

and stuff like "16:9", which is also weird given how it produces only the above aspect ratio in the pics I posted

AI is right now capable of writing small simple programs but I don't think we will ever see at least not in the next 100 years an AI that can generate complex programs

don't forget you can upscale things the U button, and V is for generating variations from it

Upscaling basically adds more detail

3 trees::2 rainbows::2 in a circle::1.5 with colourful but black and whs::2, photorealistic unreal, dying::2, grey foggy arrow space insidious --ar 16:9

you can also do Love::hate for example, it combines the 2 together

Upscaling one of them will add a ton more detail to it
Also experiment with adding --uplight to the end of the prompt, it keeps the upscaling from adding too much noise

Game dev is a particular niche and a hard market to crack
The upfront capital needed to succeed in the AAA space on an open custom engine is phenomenonal
If we move to a world where we have framework based libraries that can "pluginize" rendering that will be a hugee time saver but tooling is especially hard to crack

It does but when you've got a competitor like UE that has decades of experience ontop of your tooling it's even harder to compete because engines still need USP

HFW is a visual masterpiece like HZD was

kinda sus though
cause Guerilla is owned by Sony

Tho decima has been shipped on Windows now
that was my first impression of it, HZD on windows
the entire reason I own a ps5
proud jay
apparently the engine is named after the island Dejima where Japan and the Netherlands used to do exclusive trading
since Guerilla is NL and Kojima JP
graceful sequoia
HZD on windows was buggy for sure, but um, GG surely didn't plan for windows
tribal geyser
since Guerilla is NL and Kojima JP
I assume it was for Sony not kojima as HZD had shipped before Kojima got hold of it IIRC
But that's neat to know

the port or the game is fantastic?

graceful sequoia
it is

gonna buy it if it's on sale on my PS though
graceful sequoia
gets better later on
proud jay
like they showed an update this year with new boss fights and cool shit and I was like, there's fighting in DS?
tribal geyser
gonna buy it if it's on sale on my PS though
Grab a physical as it's a lot cheaper OR get playstation+ and you should be able to play it IIRC
proud jay
I don't think it's included in +
graceful sequoia
the problems in HZD on windows mostly stem from things like transitions during dialogs
tribal geyser
Ahhh damn, thought it was added but maybe it's not a "classic"
proud jay
but yeah I buy most games physically
graceful sequoia
everything else i experienced was because of skylake microcode ๐
at least early on for HZD on windows, things like hair simulations glitched for the first frame on camera transition
probably on PS the timing was just different, so by the time the frame hit, the simulation had settled
proud jay
HZD was nice, but I found it became repetitive
proud jay
also holy damn how much dialogue do you want in a game
graceful sequoia
more
proud jay
I started with going through all dialog options
but damn, I don't have 74 years to complete this game
graceful sequoia
fair, but they do have a nice setup to show you the path through if you aint got time for that shit
graceful sequoia
i loved the written portions of HZD

what
you are one of the few people who have a ps5
sheesh
get the ps5 version
graceful sequoia
alright, alright whatever
its a good game no matter what you play it on
or what version you play
graceful sequoia
id get the PC version
proud jay
and it would be 20 bucks cheaper
proud jay
also, my gf doesn't like me sitting in my office 24/7 :p
so I need an excuse to be in the living room

iirc you never got steam link
i guess parsec
not that its fun navigating windows via parsec on a PS5 controller
proud jay

ah it's included in the new ps+ extra tier

on the topic of remote play: it should not take 2 minutes to get a connection to my PS5
seriously, sony, you should've bought OnLive not Gaikai, and you shouldve bought Parsec before Unity did
oh shit
is Parsec also going down!?

if you want multiple levels within an MMO environment it's better to use server sharding like Spatial OS. Having world partition works to a degree but you really don't want too much hanging on one server instance in the cloud. It will inevitably run out of resources at a certain point. Also the benefits of world partition would be lost for optimisation because lets say you had 10 zones and someone was in each zone, it would have all active ticking actors running all the time. Better to shard it off.

How common are deviated septums? Deviated septums are very common. Healthcare professionals estimate that up to 80% of people have a deviated septum.
easily half of them have nose-breathing-issues

That doesn't mean they can't, though.
And a deviated septum will likely only slightly block a single nostril.
