With ya
@kindred loom So my thesis was an electronic peripheral emulation project. Your microcontroller -> (Bridge) -> (Web App)
I didn't do the READMEs yet but
I wanted it to be like BP too actually, initially. Would let you daisy chain peripherals and all, but didn't get to that
So like emulating a circuit board ?!
Sort of, but with individual components. Like you could see and interact with peripherals like a seven segment display, servo motor, and an ultrasonic sensor
So that you can design and test an electronic system but before having to use any physical components
Yeah exactly, EG online learning for university students who don't have access to labs was one big use case
My supervisor was talking about continuing work on that through other students, hope it continues!
C++ for Bridge (https://github.com/sk0g/peripheral-emulator-bridge)
JS + Svelte for Web App (https://github.com/sk0g/peripheral-emulator-web-app)
Pico C++ "Bridge" for microcontroller-web app communication - GitHub - sk0g/peripheral-emulator-bridge: Pico C++ "Bridge" for microcontroller-web app communication
I really need to add READMEs eventually
Been detoxing from uni because holy fuck actually writing the thesis killed my brain function for a while haha
yup
I had to rewrite and translate from Arabic to English lol xD
nice job
!
Oh fair, yeah yikes that would be rough haha. At least I only wrote it once...
It's still a lot of work you've done !
I'm just aiming to develop a new solution that fixes a lot of the problems with programming in general.
Big goal! What's your next step, just flesh this out further?
I wonder how your thing works with types though, considering different languages handle types so differently
Also, have you heard of Haxe? https://haxe.org/
Yeah the documentaions will play a huge role into helping the project become a main stream open source project
going to check it out
Types in all programing languages could actually be specified, which should reflect in VVS system by having normal type variable and non-defined/mutable variables.
How do you deal with differing, specific types per language? Like one might just have number, another int, another int32_u or int32_t, etc.
Types are overrated
We spend all this effort trying to work around strict types so why implement em to begin with
No types are great. You just only need one - the string. - DB designers/ Perl folk
Computers are better at math and knowing what the differeing instruction sets are so let them do the work, its why we invented the things to begin with π
actionscript 2.0 let you have variable types. So you could have an integer, and use it as string etc. You could do lots of crazy things but you had to do error checking or things would break
the declaration is automated in development and the syntax outputs true to the selected language, ultimately the user will not have to touch the code once it's generated and will be able to learn while creating visual codes
Cypher: Well you have to. The image translators work for the construct program.
that sounds like js, reminds me, wasn't action script related to it?
it was kind of based on it yeah. dot syntax
I think at some point ActionScript basically became a straight up variant of ECMAScript
(eg. JavaScript)
yeah with as3.0
AS2 was definitely pretty close to it, AS3 maybe even more so although it added optional strong typing and some other stuff
the modern JS class syntax is sorta similar to AS3 classes, although I'm not sure if AS3 classes were similar syntax sugar on prototypes or actual classes
as long as it works i guess
most of as3.0 was written as classes, and they introduced a document root class which all other classes inherited down from
you could still write as3.0 on the keyframe though without classes, but it was the rudimentaries like mc.Stop(); etc
coding and going fast is fun fun fun
Coding is pain π That's why I chose to do it for a career, obvs
you can atleast flex your fast typing skills infront of kids
coding has nothing to do with type speed π
I peaked way back, in my RS days. If anything I type slower. IDE auto-complete + most time being spent thinking or communicating anyway
... or waiting for compilation/ test suites
control C V
RS == RuneScape
then i guess chatting on discord would help speed up again :P
depends on ur system
I actually barely ever copy paste from Stack Overflow, unlike the memes. Do look at how other people solved it, but always re-do it so I know WTF I'm committing
Who uses discord on their PC... eww
nah u copy paste from the lines above
i mean, i always have to rewrite parts of copied code to fit whatever i am doing, only small helper functions fit in as is
What if there were only a finite amount of possible functions you could write
does assembly have functions? π€
Ye
StackOverflow copy-paste:
func:
xor eax, eax
mov eax, 10
add eax, 5
ret ;// essentially identical to: pop [register] -> jmp [register]
Goto LastFunctionI'llEverWrite
i said this before will say it again, we will write prompts for AI instead!
GitHub Copilot then
i can see why people stress on having better variable names now
it's short but hard to read without knowing what's what
π
They're actually CPU registers, e{register}x, basically hardware variables
Depending on your ASM flavour, there will be lots of these, some serving specific purposes
Well, lots normally means like 10-20 general purpose ones
ah, so it's comparing register values, moving values (? updating) and adding to them π€
i think lorash did gave me a brief intro on those before, the older chips had few registers like 4-5
Why what?
i am guessing it's probably just for demonstration purposes then
Just a snippet demonstrating availability of functions in ASM. Hopefully not making it into any one's hot loop
I'd think true deluxe is mini-ASM within Python, like the Raspberry PICO PIO
@rp2.asm_pio(sideset_init=rp2.PIO.OUT_LOW, out_shiftdir=rp2.PIO.SHIFT_LEFT, autopull=True, pull_thresh=24)
def ws2812():
T1 = 2
T2 = 5
T3 = 3
wrap_target()
label("bitloop")
out(x, 1) .side(0) [T3 - 1]
jmp(not_x, "do_zero") .side(1) [T1 - 1]
jmp("bitloop") .side(1) [T2 - 1]
label("do_zero")
nop() .side(0) [T2 - 1]
wrap()
Performance - the PIO is essentially an embedded MCU within the MCU, and can run instructions independently. People have built things like VGA drivers with it, and you get to have a main program running as well.
can anyone help me
Wait that actually looks like the PICO lol, WTF
There's a very comprehensive source of information about it
UE(5) also has something that seems similar, TSR. Not sure if there's a thorough comparison of the two out there
https://youtu.be/PVsBX-iRp7Y if you want what some racing look
they go pretty flat there
on straights what can be not straights over 300km/h
That gif is older than the internet
i wonder how that old man is doing now
He's not been with us for almost 20yrs
Buddy Ebsen from Beverly Hillbillies, used to be on TV in the arvo when I was growing up
looks pretty crispy, except i don't have money for fee to sell lol
found a certain style for characters
lsd, fruit and surrealism
π
So Im confused is AI NFTs nfts or crypto
Arvo
I'm sensing a late night haha
art, but if you sell you have to pay fee to midjourney
NFTs are just crypto with an image attached, no?
But if youre generating an image then its mining right
Just not mining hash youre mining art
so even if you subscribe to midjourny you can't use it in commercial work?
you can
so i could subscribe and make textures for lets say ingame posters/images
Theres so many midjourney pics around you could just use someone elses gens lol
yea but the pro of a subscription is that you can just let it render some stuff, instead of searching through all the existing artwork
and you got something more or less unique
Concept of ownership is def gonna be tested going forward
you have proof that you had the image first on your midjourney page
But the AI created it and they dont have any ownership rights, its been tested in IP law already lol
Id say MidJourney transfer ownership rights but still pretty grey for actual case law
yeah
you can edit picture or use certain parts of it to create new pictures
same as using copyrighted pictures and making art with them
just throw a sticker or destroy them with color
What if MidJourney plagiarised someone elses work without knowing hehe
The AI itself cant be liable
Any likeness is purely coincidental
Yup, makes you wonder if they might give up on trying to protect things at some point. AI will be able to remove water marks
you can add watermarks with ai π
atleast when you generate pictures it add's
shutterstock watermark lol
it will drive art to perfection for sure
but everyone is going for photorealism
which is kinda boring
just like painting vs photography drama in the past
Cant wait for the next Lion King movie where Disney just AI generate the entire thing
I can imagine the art style.
aw :(
I think this channel is missing some AI art
It's Midjourney imagining AI uprising π
wombo art
remember when I first tried it and was like oh yeah
π
time to upgrade this one
It's a brand new world for artists. Here's a quick animated sample I put together in Unreal Engine using a MidJourney render. Producing stunning visuals is now easier than ever. Storytelling craft is where it's at. What a time to be alive!

needed to borrow that emoji to shitpost into this twitter thread https://twitter.com/KinoFabino/status/1543695070586609665
lol
When theyre a 10 but theyre a spinoff of a SP game
That EA tweet was truly peak gaming tweet
At least their reply to it on something about them being an 11 because they play sp games after all the backlash was mildly amusing :P
Someone took the genre title alittle too seriously
Because we all know you dont have to play SP with only one player, its just one player at a time π
Programming socks, man. Makes everything better
Or you could be really bad so you prefer to watch lol
Sounds like some kind of deviant behavior
If you die you hand the controller over
My brother hated it cuz I could complete Super Mario without dying
he used to beat me at Goldeneye though
Adventure games were great with help though, youd end up getting stuck and trade places
Goldeneye had SP too, he used to do speed runs
We barely ever used to solo games, in Gran Turismo 2 I think we had 5 or 6 of us all playing on the same save π
Then fights would break out when someone sold anothers favourite car
I just handed my sister an unplugged controller lol
It worked for a fair few years too
I don't really know why people are mean like that lol
Hello! Does anyone know of a good text/video tutorial for creating Tower Defense from scratch? Or a free UE template of TD?
also I don't think my siblings were that kind of dumbasses either that they'd fall for it...
since there wasn't really that many years in age difference, I guess if they're significantly younger..
tbh if you google for "ue tower defense tutorial" or look it up on YT or the UE marketplace with relevant keywords, that's probably mostly what you'd get
I vaguely recall there was some kind of tower defense template or something, an official one π€
or maybe they talked about something like that in one of the official ue vids... because I definitely remember seeing something like that...
it does say it's outdated, but you could probably still more or less follow how it works to make your own
Thanks for the help, but I couldn't find a complete beginner's tutorial quickly. I found only a sped-up video with music
Yeah check the above link :)
I found! Thank you!
I've still never seen Avatar.
how hard would yall think it'd be to make a death note simulator game? like you have it and you can kill anyone you have the name of and the picture of and you can put their cause of death. and supposing you do it in such a way to make it seem like something is causing this, like Light does, you get super detective after you. clearly a shit ton of work, was just thinking about it since there are no good death note games that i know of
Tsugumi Ohba might just write the name of your game in his book.
well, you can do pretty much any game in UE
it comes down to your talent π
and patience with the engine π
"Murder post-it"
having a bunch of NPCs so tightly integrated into your game plot is probably the hardest part
Indeed. Plot is hard.
yea, specially as this sounds like it should be dynamic instead of linear
It's an interesting idea
You could somewhat reduce the craziness of the scope by being smart about how the player can gain information they need, and limit the options on how someone can die
obviously it'll be less cool if the player feels like they can't do what they want but if it's super freeform it's also super complicated
since the world would need to react believably at each step
assuming you actually have some kind of overarching story, if no then you could certainly have some kind of procedural system for it but I don't know what would be the reason to play the game then
Cute doggo! Ours pretends to be a show dog or something haha
both doges look so cute
π³
i feel like an answer to a lot of this is the fact that as a singular person, outside of news broadcasts, that may or may not happen, youd have no clue whether who you wrote down died or not. but supposing after knowing it works, cause its a video game or by doing tests, you just know theyre dead
so you wouldnt have some cutscene for all hundreds of thousands of people youd be killing
[Name of Main Character] dies by cause of [Gratuitous NSFW Content]
nice
"blazing fast 1 second per frame refresh rate" - some arch linux user
it's a sh1106 display connected to the DDC bus on the vga port. Very similar to this but instead adapted for the VGA port : https://mitxela.com/ddc-oled
the link in the description is worth it π https://mitxela.com/projects/ddc-oled
apparently they abuse the DDC channel of the VGA Port to send data to the OLED
Ah I rarely read the description lol
I see the thumbnail and simulate what happens in the video. Faster this way, and accurate too. Every now and then.
Of the people working on Fortnite, Sweeney stated: We have 700 people at Epic and it's the majority. But it's a fairly unusual situation. We shipped it with 25 people and now we're responding to the reaction.
I think 700 is quite.. high
It's probably content velocity + engine work.
Like CoD ship a game every year, meanwhile Fortnite ship a mini-game every quarter or so, while progressing UE big time.
Makes sense
This one?
Dabbing on fax and internet. Wonder what he's doubting now, should go invest in it
Most people don't have anything to say to each other.
They just talk bullshit instead.
lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet!
If I made an mkv recording with more than 2 audio tracks, does anyone know how to actually switch between tracks in something like Vegas? I can see the channels individually in VLC, but I don't know how to combine them, and they all show as one track in my editor
#cpp reminds me of IRL work conversations when you gather the most chatty people while having clueless managers pop in and spew bullshit. The latter is usually me
It's great, always reminds me how little I know though
as long as you know something and can effectively communicate and understand those people!
How is c++ better than c# if c# has 4 +'s while c++ only has 2 +'s
Explain that
It's signed 5bit, so C++ goes to E, but C# with its 4 +s goes to -1
In musical terms the note after C (C++), as well as C# would both be C#. For real progress, you want D. Or F#.
Damn.
Well, either way, c++ could be D, whereas c# would be c.5
Sharp is only half a tone, after all.
Hmm true, for piano players half steps are a physically distinct thing, but in guitars it's just frets, half or full steps are not physically represented on the instrument
You're supporting me then π
Distance between C->C# is relatively equal to the distance between B->C
C# is D flat
In the chromatic scale, every interval is that power of 1/12. Whether it's a semi-tone or a full tone interval doesn't affect the interval
On that chart, 1 interval is a semitone.
Not from E->F, or B->C as it's a looping table
1000 Hz everytime someone cussing
C to C# or E to F
Oh I get what you're saying SMH
my music theory is rusty. This is why I just play guitar. Press string, shake right hand. EZ
Going from E to F# is one "tone" (2 frets)
I wonder how long till someone attempts this in MetaSounds

mr slap skins man
so C++ = C##?
so i just discovered swum is a word, past participle of swim
Swim is an irregular verb; swam is the past tense of swim, while swum is the past participle. Swum is used after have, as in "I have swum in that pool before."
MJ can produce some really good portraits
Don't ask me what's happening with those blob arms
whats happening with those blob arms?
There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary numbers and those who donβt.
jokes so old, even the boomers remember it XD
Didn't Ada Lovelace write that joke?
nu clue, ive known the joke for about 25 years now.
lol I was just joking about how old that joke was
I doubt it was written in the 1800s
#dad-jokes
just another day in lounge
i mean, it's better rendered but the basic anatomy below the head is way off xD.
works great as a stylisation
pretty sure you can set that as a pfp and being so tiny, it works out
because if i look at it from far enough, that looks like a bent arm
you know those model poses where they bend arms
hey dieter ! long time no see
maybe you're just not looking hard enough
you appeared 3 days back in lounge
sometimes you just gotto enjoy the weekend
aye π₯³
The face design looks cool tho ngl
Imagine if that face turned into MetaHuman π³
the Midjourney portraits seem to often have that specific style to them
I wonder whose style is it copying... lol
Yeah I was surprised with the result, learned a few tricks for structuring prompts for better results
It can produce different styles but I just really like the cartoony style π
Here are some with a different style
And a few from this batch which I haven't gotten around to actually sort though and select the best ones because they all look good lol
beautiful anime girl portrait π’
Shh let the man dream
the patrick swayze one is nice though
Yeah, like that one a lot
Can you prompt with anime character but with that realistic face portrait? π€
Probably
I don't know, those still feel like they have that certain vibe/aesthetic it often produces
I mean it's not super obvious if you didn't know it's from MJ, but when you know, it just is like.. oh yeah it does have that feel to it
I don't watch anime btw, it's just what seems to produce good results lol
Yeah, get what you mean and there definitely is a specific feel to it
Does it work with character name?
that's exactly what a weeb would say
I mean those that already searchable on Google
It does yeah
Now that I'm curious what would it be like for Midjourney to interpret anime character name and realistic face style
Probably someone like Haruka Amami π€
||(I never seen many realistic style Idolmaster fanarts lol, until I get my hands on UE5 Mesh to MetaHuman)||
Gonna give it a shot π
Probably gonna post when I wake up as I'm about to go to bed
In the meantime have some mecha robots in ww1 and w batman at a teaparty
Definitely look all the same π€
Well, I gotta try Artbreeder in the meantime
18+
Also think that mech in WW1 is insanely cool looking
Does it look anything like it lol
I queued up another one with higher weight for that name
Off to bed π€
Not even close lol
For comparison, the character in question
I guess anime characters are more difficult for Midjourney because anime characters are more plenty (yet less known compared to mainstream superheroes and stuff) and each have defining physical features. Some of the results do have short hair, but split bang doesn't match
Alien eyes!
Is there a place I can ask for help or should I ask here? π
thx
#ue5-general if it's ue5
Didnt you just ask for help π±
ahaha true
that looks quite odd
i guess it's creepy because of that hand
it feels out of place
Tbh I do like Alita CG
makes sense with your pfp
I'm not sorry for less liking too realistic/direct scan stuff

its almost art
midjourney?

Hey *, keep it up with that awesomeness π¦
is that * an sql select all?
... why does he looks so proud xD
no that still makes 0 sense xDD
is he happy he found his phone?
ArtBreeder gets it rather close (though I kinda cheat because I had Lightning Farron as dominant base)
Both Lightning and Makoto have upwards eye contour and down slanted eyebrows, making up the tomboy look
what is the before and after?
actually, what does artbreeder even do?
another ai like midjourney?
Basically a GAN mixing images together to form face profiles
(and other things)
ohh
Left is the reference I rendered, right is the one processed by ArtBreeder
The upload feature only accept realistic portait, so it initially had loose representation of Makoto, and I helped it with face profile of Lightning Farron
Maybe I'll make it a MetaHuman
There's not many when it comes to more realistic style fanart of Idomaster characters
i see, that sounds interesting π€

NGL I've been thinking/dreaming Idolmaster characters in a more realistic Final Fantasy style, and seeing how others have success with Mesh to MetaHuman for more stylised faces, I'm excited to try with it and see my dream.
At least it's stronger than Cybertruck
can't wait for technological advances to help us out with our dreams π
Also my weeb-est dreams of having more realistic style of my anime waifus (without making it look like shoddy cosplay)
i wonder what that would look like if not cosplay π€
Well, again, I'm thinking more of Final Fantasy style of realistic characters - the faces looked realistic but still have stylised look to them and not too realistic to uncanney valley territory
Sadly not existing write up, it's a breakdown I did by myself
No, not kigurumi.
kigurumi?
you can probably write some sort of scientific journel like thing on this topic, i am sure it would help many
there are oddly niche topics books are written about anyways which are doing good
I bet theres even a book about books on niche topics
fill all of my pages with your niche topics <3
Yeah, it's one of those things on character design to avoid having "same face" while keeping art style consistent.
For example, just for the main lineup alone, Idolmaster has 13 unique idols, and each (except Futami twins) have distinct differences on the facial appearance aside from the hair, mainly on the eye contour, (sometimes) eyelash shape, the eyebrows, and even the mouth shape (e.g. more cheerful characters have wider grin)
it's so hard to make stuff different, have a personality, and at the same time stay super minimalistic
it's like coming up with new emoticons
you don't have a lot of room and you gotta get a point across, and it can also get misleading
egg!
ye, that's like saying "all"
SELECT * WHERE * = * LIMIT 1; //because im not greedy

call amazon and tell them their delivery drone broke and wont return to hive
ow its a person and i should call 911?
I can't wait until Amazon start doing drone deliveries and some ex-military with PTSD starts a personal war against them
could be a good movie. lots of action, some comedy, a serious message.
Politicians when they block pornographic sites vs actually controlling fake news
lol
would watch honestly
I think Ubisoft is more evil than EA
when they do this to online multiplayer, they should allow an official community ran, hosted and supported group to run an archive server. It really bugs me that they don't. Hellgate London and City of Heroes community servers did an excellent job and upkeep and it wasn't like they were sharing state secrets.
Happy July 4th and those who don't celebrate July 4th happy steam summer sale
@fleet tangle is your profile picture from final fantasy?
hehehe
Ubisoft states that "Closing the online services for some older games allows us to focus our resources on delivering great experiences for players who are playing newer or more popular titles."
Never liked when old auth servers are shut down without hope of replacement, but this excuse is hard to believe.
Then again, maybe they programmed the game servers so that every profile is a 300 mb entry in a database that has to be in RAM 24/7. Which is about the limit of my imagination to explain how a game with client-side multiplayer could have a server that impacts AAA development costs.
Nuklear power
Company ran servers and/or binding the game/app to not be functional without them is always risky. Like it was one of the first thing it should cross your mind with such product.
I couldn't name an industry that does long term infrastructure planning that isn't also required to do it by regulation.
Plus, from the perspective of DRM, being non-functional without company authorization is a feature.
Most customers would like to be able to use the product even if the company cease to exist.
Just think about how many games would stop working if steam shut down.
it would all truly get evaporated to steam !
It's like those smart home appliances that send everything through the server of the company
like one time a finnish company that makes smart thermostats was DDOSd
and all customers couldn't turn on their heating anymore
big F
That's a retarded design.
Shows an extreme lack of forethought and care about the customers.
but think about the data
this is how most of these smart appliances work btw
everything goes through their server
Sure, you can send the data to the central server (ignoring the privacy issues)
But stopping it working because it can't phone home is just beyond stupid.
Heh
π€¦
This could lead to legitimate deaths as well.
Well, if they can't make money off it...
It's probably cheaper to just release it than it is to deal with all the shit about asking for it to be released.
Heh
I wonder if companies only accepting full time on-site employment are still finding software engineers
the moment I see wfh is not even a hybrid option I see the job posting as useless
why
wait but they're working for less now? or am I misunderstanding
so they got fired then or something?
or freelance bois
I see I see
yeah I do look at it from a position of luxury with steady well paying job with very high job security
just wild to me that companies still require 100% presence
while it clearly doesn't matter that much
Elon is going on about WFH being bad, so they're probably taking note.
I wouldn't want to work 100% remote, but the option would be nice
What's the hybrid situation you've got?
at least 60-80% remote
atm we have 60% home
but also, they don't seem to care so far
My company just has meetings on Zoom and Google Meets.
there's colleagues that haven't been to the office in like 3 years at this point lmao
I spent approximately 10% of my weekly allotted paid time in meetings
if they dont have multi million $$ tools i can play with i aint comin in
meanwhile we have people where their calender looks like this
how he gets anything done is beyond me
those are all meetings
Looks like a manager!
wommelgem is the location of the head office
which is shit
it's in fucking Antwerp
driving there no traffic would take me ~40 minutes
lucky for me the traffic is absolute garbage and the average time for me to get there is closer to 90 min
good thing I only go there for special team events
Yeah that calendar is basically what our CEO's calendar looks like
true
lol
actual ceo calendar is only slightly worse
I like that we can see everyone's calendars
This is a good time for a reminder that these pixelize/blur filters are sometimes reversible
lol
not that sensitive info tbh
the CEO prolly dont wunna look at it.. why would we? π
the titles don't say a lot
they never do
Kinda empty. My manager's one have at least a double thread of meetings each day.
multitasking multiple meetings π§
Which just reminds me how wasteful is.
that's why he gets paid the big bucks, working twice as hard as you /s
Yeah
Triangle meetings, the best meetings.
Bullet travel/drop system is on point
weird gun to shoot rpgs with
5.56 rockets. New stuff on the edge of tech.

Oh hey it works
Usually I have difficulties with debit cards but not this time, weird
Banks are weird
There goes my one boost 
ah there we go, finally pink
congrats on being pink!
btw, nanite should have some limit right? can it handle a mesh that's big enough to fill like few TBs or something
it could
Nanite's footprint is not that huge, particularly once you package it.
theoretically
i wonder if there's some ambitious ue youtuber who fed nanite a few storage device worth of meshes
i am guessing the only bottleneck would be your pc's specs when packing it or something
What makes the footprint huge is rather the textures
Even then Oodle often does an excellent job on compressing it with minimal compromise on quality
IIRC packaged version of CitySample is around 23 GB?
https://youtu.be/v9kynURWW_I fun times
If not 17 GB
so you are telling me that if I don't keep textures on a mesh it can easily be higher poly count
size wise

@soft night, :8ball: Concentrate and ask again.
!8ball Are gaming phones real?
@quasi mantle, :8ball: Better not tell you now.
!8ball you have a phone?
@soft night, :8ball: Very doubtful.
gaming phones are phones too
What makes it standout compared to flagship phones?
asus have rog phones and also zen phones
Are Asus phones still good?
seems new new ROG phone 6 just announced with pro version as well
i am guessing focus on gaming processing etc instead of cameras
screens go to 165Hz too on gaming phones it seems
do games even have that much fps
most probably, that sounds like a number for refresh rates
why are you playing on a phone if you want games running at 144fps in the first place
can't live without my diablo immortal
Really? That's as far as you want to think about gacha titles?
I already thought handful of non-far west gacha games already
CoD?
Genshin Impacts, Arknights, that one Uma Musume game, Fate Global Offensive Grand Order, Honkai Impact, FFBE, Granblue Fantasy, etc.
Just to name a few that crossed my mind
Nice gachalogy
i dont know many of those terms
Pupg mobile
gachi music is music remixed to include gay porn voices duh

looks like ill get a cat again
neighbor of my old hood is terminal and im takin it over
still a fairly young cat so shouldnt be too much trouble
that cat after owninator training
I'm very happy Belgium banned lootboxes
you know diablo immortal is a cash grab, since they didn't even release in Belgium due to this
yea friend of mine told me he couldnt play diablo... i asked him why he would want such a thing π
if the game was enjoyable without the lootboxes they could have released a version without the shop
you know you dont have to buy ingame items with real money
yes
that's not the point
while for Diablo it is semi-mandatory if you want to compete with other players
or you can grind for 43 years as well of course
those games are aimed at 10 to 16 year olds... and made by addiction experts to make em more addicting
shit is messed up
also 30$ is not a micro transaction... thats a transaction
werent you in Holland
oh no you were in Belgium
still am
Anyone here have kids and struggle to explain why they cant have another lootbox?
see so many lootboxes
I remember when I was a kid I just wanted things for the sake of it, maybe it was just some cool ad or everyone else had one
I only had this with food, like pizza ads
yes, I am fat
We used to run around collecting litre bottles to get the 40c for a game
Then we worked out where the kep the litre bottles so we'd trade em in and we'd jump over the fence and trade em back in hehe
Then... we got caught
lol me too, exact same scam π
well i burned 12750 kilocalories last weekend so getting lost of activity
also u could grab full coke bottles from the store and put em in the return machine
thats like free money at that age
save up for a car and shit
40c went a long way in those days, thats 40 1c lollies or 20 2c
some kids was collecting bottles on imatranajo 2022 and got some good dash of cans and bottles to make good money
yea some1 i knew collected beer glasses at a festifal to turn em in... made like 1500$ a day
there is a difference between kebabs made in Europe and TΓΌrkiye 
like we also have chocolate in TΓΌrkiye too 
ok I'll come over to compare
Amsterdam has some good kebab too π
we probably have more Turks in Belgium than you have Belgians in Turkiye though
made by ppl from TΓΌrkiye offc π
twitchcon eu with kebab fest
Maybe the metaverse needs rubbish so people can collect virtual bottles n cans to get some ingame currencies
when metaverse get lots and lots of scammers
Australia lost 2 billion to scammers in 2021
Reports are organised crime are getting out of drugs to move to scams
Thats not even counting lootboxes
i doubt any1 is gettin out of drug trade... that stuff is here to stay
Aren't they already?
I love Snowfall, great show
Haha probably
I think the move to scams is more bout risk management, less impact to profits
I'll probably study uni at Holland so at weekends I might be one of the Turks in Belguim too
man
you should study in belgium
way cheaper
getting those sweet government subsidies
I think it also applies for foreign students
I paid <1k per year
He prefer liberal Holland
I like Tom Holland
Holland and the Netherlands is not the same thing
Holland is part in the Netherlands.. the rest just doesnt matter much so saying holland is usually acceptable
Is New Holland part of The Netherlands?
new holland are tractors right?
the east part of USA used to be Nieuw-Nederland though
New York used to be New Amsterdam
Jankees is from the common dutch names Jan and Kees
cuz many ppl from that area were originally dutch and they were all named Jan or Kees
could have been Pietkees
How about living costs?
Liberalism? Ew
well parking is 9$ an hjour π
Swap J to Y
here you have to work a day to find a spot and than pay 9$ an hour for the park spot
What kind of a troll is that lol
1st world problems
Its a parking troll
Relatively speaking, is that cheap?
for parking.. only in the city there is usually free parking outside the ciry
could go to a payed parking lot those are even more
if u live in that area code you can get a card for free parking tho
well.. have to buy the card offc
What about rents
in cities definitely more affordable
housing in e.g. amsterdam is actually bonkers
if you're a student in belgium you can get really cheap housing
student rooms
can be like 300 a month
sometimes less
what are you looking to study btw, out of curiosity
Aerospace Engineering
interesting
Normally I actually want to study in Turkey but as like every other thing it's difficult to get a proper education here
I want my 4 years to worth something
Also exams here rote-based 
rote?
Come to the Netherlands instead of Belgium. We have cool tulips!
They dont ask formulas, they expect you to memorize everything and fill the tests
If you memorize better you get higher point
That's the spirit π
Haha, Netherlands actually has best Aerospace Engineering program in the world but I doubt I'll be able to pass the exams for it π
I had no idea lol.
But then again I don't do anything with Aerospace Engineering things.
Aerospace Engineering is easy
Just wait for the competition to solve a problem then steal their solution
π
this is how university of delft do their classes π
"you need to learn aerospace engineering? here this a rocket that you need to launch to space"
Ah yes π€£
hey i studied in delft for a year
how was it
bio tech
That doesnt look like a hypersonic missile
uni in the netherlands is def pretty good
from what I've heard it can get expensive real quick though
that school had LSD toads in a cage. but the cage was locked cuz ppl kept licking the toad
its top secret tech 
and the toad would die after getting licked too much
nice
I would have licked the toad if the cage wasnt locked aswell
wai- wha- 
I only know Delft cause of their work with water stuff
Delft has some good biotech chem stuff
Uni Leiden has the electric car team
UvA Amsterdam is good too
prolly dont wunna go here for any gamedev related stuff
does that stand for Universiteit van Amsterdam Amsterdam?
I heard Breda has gamedev stuff
or in belgium π https://www.digitalartsandentertainment.be/
I heard some really cool people did that
Denmark has best gamedev programs I guess
bet u have some scummy gamedev classes everywhere π
They literally recruiting game designers to industry
the one in belgium was voted best in the world by The Rookies multiple times
Oh yeah, definitely looks like something
UvA will prolly give too many results if searched
i read that as UvU
i bet u did
today you've been summoned at #cpp you know
What do you think about Liege?
It has aerospace engineering
ngl never been there
they have a nice train station though π
it's in the french part of belgium
housing is even cheaper there though
number of english speakers in the french part is lower though, so outside of the university area you might have some trouble
would a jet bike be considered aerospace engineering?
yes
I can live with that
yeah can't really say much about liege university cause I don't know anyone who went there
Computing the optimal angle to land at bed late night is also aerospace engineering.
Or if you are too short and using a parachute to get out of the bed after waking up
he put that in his bunker and improved it
i never have problems getting out of bed late in the afternoon
I wonder if high volume does ever affect cats.. he gets alerted by a very stupid unrelevant sound from environment but when I max the volume he doesnt even care
they can turn their ears
but tunnelling under your house isnt π
Not into minecraft, can't say π€
is this Wallace & Gromit IRL
it's colin furze irl
something dropped on the ground in that gif
save 30 sec, spend 2 hours looking for ur car keys
what π ?
yeah
he does not
he just does not care at all
he doesnt turn and give "bro wtf is wrong with you, lower the volume" reaction
dogs dont do that either
i wonder why 
they might have high tolerance for loud sounds maybe idk
if you play it suddenly i wonder if that scares them
it does not
maybe they just assumed that this pc is a creature that screams at random
why my friends doge does not 
o, people actually type my full username. there are 7 messages in cpp with my full username ! that's crazy
"enough of this weeb shit" π
its that Chinese type of doge
the hairy and big ones
its pretty clever
maybe it's not loud enough then, if multiple animals don't react
this one
fat head
you should get some of those scary woofers, those that blow people away which are in yt vids
when i try to hug it, it looks bigger than me π
she is able to eat a chocolate and hide it from its owner though π
i think its pretty clever
practically a small bear then
yeah, something like that
tell me something advanced
i love doge stories
they can flush after doing their thing
there was a gif about it
but i guess that's training stuff, not that advanced brain wise
i know siberian huskies are clever af
tell me something about your doge, i wonder it
a moment when you got shocked by its intelligence etc
According to The Intelligence of Dogs, which ranks 131 dog breeds in terms of their relative intelligence, the border collie is the smartest dog breed known to man. Need proof? Chaser, a linguistically gifted border collie from South Carolina, couldΒ recognize over 1,000 words.
dogs cant hear it cuz its .... sub woof
yeah but can it write C++
if you train it, probably
if it's just hitting a sequence of keys,
Dog intelligence is variable though, I've seen some pretty stupid border collies haha
One at the dog park just leaps into people, then whimpers, and does it again a few minutes later...
or copy pasting, i guess it can? but that's not problem solving, it needs to recognise the pc related problem first π€
The smart ones are fiends for figuring out what you want them to do
well i guess it's like not all humans are Einstein stuff
this might be why they took the example of "chaser"

i would sacrifice everything for a doge thats helps me when writing code
then, teach it to make coffee!
Like humans, dogs have varying kinda of intelligence. Mine's a wizard at emotional manipulation and playing tricks on us haha
i would sacrifice anything for a doge i guess
but it would be nice to get help for c++ 
Mine does, when I moan about shit not working she runs up to me to comfort me lol
Mine's a wizard at emotional manipulation and playing tricks on us haha
those types... i love those type of doges
Keeps me going TBH. Unauthorised emotional support dogo
the dog would be inefficient even if they had the best programming knowledge, their paws won't let them type!
She throws balls under the couch, howls at us to get it, and then licks your ear because that's what she was going for all along... Wtf
It sounds like you just need a furry friend 
that's cool
I think most dogs probably have a fairly similar intelligence, but training and socialization brings out the behaviors that humans associate with intelligence
what type is your dog? all i recall is it looks like a white wolf
Collies are basically the gold standard working breed - they have a mad work ethic and are easy to train to do lots. If you don't, they're crackheads because they get bored and destructive
you can probably communicate better with them, so writing c++ basic tasks seems possible
typedef Dog int32
i think marc_rogerson here has many collie dogs
She's a Samoyed :)
I'll adopt a doge next year and this convo makes me inpatient
i have never heard of a samoyed π€
She dig
then again this is also the second time i heard of a collie
try me till then
jk
There's another type too, the smooth collie. They look nothing alike. There's also the Australian Shepherd, which is actually an American breed related to the border Collie lol
we got a blue heeler cross kelpie and a border collie cross kelpie
Sounds like lots of balls in your home haha
so they can count days π€
Yuppppp, she paws me in the face at me at like 9AM on the dot most mornings. In between jobs so I'm trying to sleep in FFS
that's the gif for smooth collie result
not that smooth looking π€
Nope that's a border Collie haha
on the other than my damn cat always jump to my head while i'm sleeping and scares me
Fuck, I meant rough collie
Don't think smooth collie is a breed but not sure
Yup that's the one
it really looks like a lion with a long mouth xD
do you play catch with it
smooth criminal is a breed
that does looks helpful π€
Michael Jackson would be proud
Australian shepherd gif result
dogs are nice but I don't want to take care of one :p
same
they've made it so you have to pick up their shit when they do the deed
i heard you can feed them premade packed foods which is made for them, guess that's nice enough?
back when I was a kid and we had a dog you didn't need to do that
I ain't picking up anyone's turds except my own lol
once it's not a part of you, is it even yours?
Like, kibble? Or some gourmet fresh meats?
We gave her beef once and it looked like she had murdered someone haha
i don't know, i think their were advertisements of dog food that's good for dogs
there*
Yeah it's a whole boutique market
And lots of tug of war for those extreme biceps curls
yeah I don't want to take walks when I don't feel like it
another reason to not have a dog
lol
I'm just waiting for her to calm down so I can take her to the gym as well, will be great
just lift your dog up for upside down pushups i guess
