Wtf lol
It's those green-house gasses.
Someone changed the exponential height fog colour wrong
It's something with light being refracted by the hail apparently
But I like the idea of aliens more
Nah, they messed up the Sky Atmosphere settings in the Unreal Editor
Now waiting for someone to revert that change
Actually that makes sense
Just watched how the ATM machine's windows did update and hanged till the service man came with a car to just plug an usb keyboard and restart.
Anyone watching that new Harley Quinn season ?
Matrix Awakens is getting delisted from the console stores, eh
why?
I don't know. Limited space on the store pages? Can still download it if it's in your account, so they're not removing it from the servers... just the store page. Or whatever a console online store has.
From what I read the license for the IP is expiring musta been a limited marketing deal for the movie launch
I watched the new loki stuff, not bad
and kenobi
certainly better than the new trilogy
i havent watched new disney stuff from disney+ a long long time
we only just got disney+ here
Marvel... might watch it again in 10 years, when their kids play.
Limited time licensing, most likely.
Besides, City Sample project is already available
Are they amazing though?
that boris guy resigned
i can't find much about why, it just keeps saying something about pincher, who did something weird in 2020 but got appointed as something now by boris
all i can see is other ministers kept telling him to leave xD
and he did
Boris Johnson is the most overtly corrupt and incompetent Prime Minister that the UK has ever had. This is not an opinion, it is statistically and factually accurate.
Based on what I've heard about UK politics in the news that seems correct
Not by a long shot.
Ah, cool. First up is the lies. It's fine for a MP to lie to the public, politicians do that all the time but it's not allowed in the House of Commons. I won't list all the times here as a- it would take to long and b-others have already done this in the internet land I could dig out a few links if you really want buuut I'm hoping you'll just go with me on this. He's been sacked from at least 2 jobs for lying, and generally being dishonest with a senior lawyer commenting he was known for being dishonest [this was when he shut down parliament to avoid something and was taken to court] He's had blowjobs from his now wife in his office, he tried to get her a position in his cabinet, he's allowed Pitel to continue as HO minister regardless of all the complaints about her, he's been fined by the police once, he's had secret meetings with KGB people, where usually ministers would have official aides present at all times. The last bit was in yesterdays Select Committee, the rest can be easily verified online.
and let's not forget the time he wanted to rewrite the rules, so that his mate didn't get into trouble. His mate resigned as soon as the PM said he was going to do it.
tldr: he bad
Boris believes that only Boris can be Boris and anyone not Boris is irrelevant
Tho, I noticed, I dont see issues with the wife's support.
Other than the BJ? 😄 She has no qualifications or experience in whatever job it was, it was essentially just a way of getting a nice little 70K extra bonus
The Times ran the story, then pulled it after a couple of hours. Then people noticed they pulled it, and that prompted it to be looked into more.
His wife should be the HO minister. 😂
Anyone other than Pitel should be HO 😄 She's evil.
Someone who can implement a policy which if it was policy when her family came to the UK, would have meant they would have never been let in.. someone who thinks sending people to a country that our own country has been condemning for human rights abuse, is a good idea.
So you can't back up your claim then, btw? I see no comparisons here. Just a rant about Boris.
I smell smoke.
I'm not saying he's not a bad guy, I just think he's nothing compared to the historical corruption .
I mean, a recent example, Blair took us to war on false pretenses. I think that tops a blowjob or two.
Going back even further, the uk political system was beyond corrupt 100-200 yaers ago
I'll give you that. Blair takes the crown for "Getting away with war crimes"
Hmm. I wonder if the person that paid £120,000 to have dinner with Boris+wife, Gove, and Pitel has had it yet.... 😄 😄
I heard "1922 Comittee" played a role in Boris' resignment, is that true?
Kind of. They were going to hold elections for a new committee on Monday. That new committee was going to change the rules of submitting letters of no confidence to the committee. So he would have been kicked out next week sometime. However, with 57 MPs resigning and those that didn't all told him it was time to go, he had little choice in the matter.
There wasn't a hope in hell his party wouldn't vote against him this time.
His only other option would be to call a snap General Election. That wouldn't work because then his own MPs would have to go out to the public saying "Vote for us!" while simultaneously saying "Our PM is not the man for the job!"
At this point I'm more curious of what will happen next month
Will UK change its politics drastically with new government? Will people be more relieved and trusting or more confident on protesting etc
That, is the question. Will it make any difference? Will the new person be competent? I can see 3 maybe 4 people going for the job. Sunak, Rashid, Gove, and Truss. Pitel would if she thought she could get the support, but imo that would be doubtful.
I think UK requires that "iron lady" type of a president at this era, but only for foreign affairs
damn he is using the force ? 😛
at least he got peppa the pig banned in russia? 😛
Still not as powerful as the Diablo Immortal social media guy
Blizzard burned tons of goodwill making a cashgrab game primarily for China, let's be honest
inb4
They posted something mocking Winnie the Pooh not resigning or something lol, madlad
That looks like a drug addict
@mossy nexus our top party had/has some1 convicted of bein part of a terrorist organization that killed a public figure .. tried to bomb the airport and tried to kill the leader of opposition party as an advisor of national security
so boris aint all that bad gettin BJs in his office :p
😄 Mind you, the Tories have/had someone that used to be an active member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army.
dont know ttoo much about english politics other than ORDER ORDER
In fairness to Maria Gatland, she left the IRA immediately after Bloody Friday when several civilians and two soldiers were killed and over a hundred injured. She was from then on very anti IRA.
I think we can probably agree, however corrupt UK politics is, it's probably a lot less than American institutionalised corruption!
so boris was mediocre -ish i guess, are the replacements any better than boris?
i knew boris for his iconic hair, that's all xD
huh, i wonder if someone will profit off of his resignation now
unfortunately it seems it's pretty typical in politics that you just have to choose the least bad option
I actually emailed a local politician once because my dumbass childhood friend who's become a covidiot conspiracy nut is actually in local politics and is in a committee that deals with healthcare issues in the city (???)
To my surprise, he said that they were aware of this in the committee, and wouldn't let him make any decisions affected by lies
that makes their conspiracy sound more true lol
"yeah, one of us realised and wasn't in on it, we are restraining them"
Yeah you guys have it good
Us Americans are getting shit on by our goverment
there seems to be choices like aoc but she's seen as "too extreme" which is weird :P
aoc?
You're getting trumped on.
alexandria ocasio-cortez or however you spell her name
Well trump isint president anymore but yeah
Anarchy?
Terry Crews for president
Terry would be a good president.
Nah man Johnny depp for president
Anarchy is impossible. No matter what happens, there will always be a rule of law.
Anarchy isint impossible as if no one listens to the law they are no longer working laws
Aka airports
who is this lol
That’s Kevin hart in a wig
its from, idiocracy
I can't remember what the date was in that movie but we must be getting close!
I don't mean "laws", I mean, there will always be a system whereby one is ruled by others. Whether through government or force.
its after the great garbage avelanche
I just want people to hurry up and nuke everyone to oblivion
If the government breaks down it will revert to "strongest guy in area makes the rules"
Then we can have fallout in a nutshell which would be better then everything we got rn
That’s better then what we got now
That's a retarded thing to say.
if the swedes and finns join nato you may have your wish
can't wait for real life post apocalyptic stuff
Alright fuck yeah Swedes and Finns join nato
And really offensive, I imagine, to the people who actually have to live in a system like that.
I mean that’s just a monarchy with extra steps
Or maybe a dictatorship
Probably the latter.
Erdogan could still cockblock the NATO stuff
Yeah seems closer to a dictatorship
You go tell people in Russia or China that htey're "better off" than plump America.
If he feels like he's not getting enough attention lol
Don’t forgot North Korea
he was but he sponsored their joining last week
Ukraine's probably feeling it now.
Yeah I feel bad for Ukraine
Fuck Putin amir
Would you rather be there than the US?!
@hasty cargo he's been saying completely mixed things lately
he ok'd it but then he's backpedaling on the agreement now
or rather, seems to be interpreting it differently than everyone else
I mean seeing as rn the us goverment makes me rather be dead than here yeah
Right.
yeah I coulda just been taking the headlines for granted xD
Yeah, I'm finnish and it's a hot topic lol
This is utter bullshit.
the US govt is like a rollercoaster usually
The main charcter in my games gonna be finnish
yeah I remember you mentioned it the other day
Faz
I can only imagine the coffee table convos you guys are having
Or the water cooler chats
back in ye olde day for a school-thing we had to form multiple parties and have discussions between parties.
a few teachers and our group decided to become an anarchist party.
We all came in with black hair, clothing, goth makeup and such.
10 minutes in we disbanded because we put out a message that we disbanded due to all members of the party being so anarchistic we could not form a solid statement we all stood behind.
instead of having do to this sheit the entire day, we where at a bar drinking beer the rest of the day laughing arses off.
This is why every character in the next mortal combat is gonna be nordic, the character designer just went around telling everyone, "FINNISH HIM!"
Lmao
Well at least I never really talk about stuff like that, people don't really care that much in particular lol
There's enough trust on the leaders to do the right thing I think
You guys are very intellect
that's, a lot of trust xD
well not like you can do much anyway
well our politics are generally fairly reasonable and transparent
speedrunning the assignment huh xD
yup
our foreign minister is openly gay and we have a pretty young female prime minister, maybe speaks to the progressiveness of the general politics here
the linkin-park party 😛
basically
our foreign minister is openly gay
lmao wat
it seems like a good place 🤔
Yeah your guys politics are progressive af
i just entered and this is what i read
America’s had a old straight white guy for years except for Obama
Even then Obama’s old
gays in politics aint that strange here
Yeah Pekka Haavisto is gay. He's married to an ecuadorian younger guy, and even ran for the president but didn't quite make it
just don't vote for someone just because they're a woman or gay
wait how young are we talking about
I agree it shouldn't always be old straight white guys that get to be laeders, but the sexuality, ethnicity or gender of the person shoudl be irrelevant. Electing a gay black female leader just to be different isn't going to end well if they aren't fit for the job.
Well duh that’s just dumb if they aren’t actually good at politics
well not like super young or anything, but younger than he is enough that you notice that the husband is kinda hotter than he is lol
Yeah ik I also feel like America should remove the no immigrants for president rule
I'm not actually against that.
Ah, yes. I had a chance to follow Finland politics because of NATO issues
It feels like fingerpointing when I say stuff like this about him tbh, but just saying it in general as I think it's a positive indication of the general atmosphere here that he can be open about it
I think it's rather risky to elect somebody who wasn't born in your country to lead it.
( @foggy path i thought you live in UK and trashing Boris in that context btw, i forgot you live in Finland - not that I judge peoples sexuality or anything 😂 )
lol
true, what if they are a spy
anrie is a spy?
Just do what Russia did, get the parents to have kids in the country, job done.
i have no clue what anrie is
we have some gay politicans here too, but they are trying to hide it
a few weeks ago some insider leaked footages
then whole country shaked.. because our goverment was against it very harshly 🤣
is it okay to leak those kinds footages
person who leaked that footage is already wanted by our government
Everywhere has that crack smoking guy you gotta be more specific
its a mafia leader ™️
yeah thought so..
On the other end of the spectrum, we have a christian party which had one of their politicians investigated for hate speech against homosexuals :P
you have a little bit of everything sprinkled in i guess
if they can come to an agreement about a decision, i would trust that too lol
lol yep
I'm sure we had a guy that got caught playing dress up with prostitutes in nazi uniforms.
oh yeah... and one guy from another party is currently being investigated for sexual misconduct with minors...
so you know we got those guys too
lol
well as long as it's not all openly potential criminals at the top..
also, nazis had a uniform??
yeah
I hate Catholics or Christians that are like this
so you are telling those uniforms are still made somewhere for dress up purposes xD
there's a famous finnish neonazi "Reichmarshall Pekka Siitoin" that I believe he liked to be called lol
Most likely for war reinactments
he's famous for looking like a complete fool lol
now that makes sense
My stepdad actually just joined a war reinactmet group
But what about the droid attack on the Wookiee’s
is he also in the ruling party or whatever that's called
ohh
But yeah I could see him being into the finns party if he was around lol
yup xD
there is another more fringe right winger party as well, VKK which is an acronym for "power belongs to the people"
Was it in Finland that they had that political shooting thing at a retreat years ago?
some jokingly say VKK stands for "power belongs to Kreml" lol
Some young political activists shot up a load of politicians.
There was a thing kinda like that, they had photos of some politicians they shot at
Or other young poltiical activists.
It's funny what kind of debacles from here actually reach foreign media lol
You just aren't as interesting as Boris! 😄
Yeah he basically looks like an old drunk cosplaying Hitler lol
people say that the neonazi ideology in finland was actually negatively affected by him which sounds like a pretty good thing lol

democracy™️
No anarchy is the least shitty
Stop being an idiot.
Well, in your country somehow with democratic ways you are able to change things, even when it's difficult. But in some places like Middle East those things require blood and gun shots
"Never been a bloodless revolution"
Exactly
"he made you what you are today"
Not all revolutions are good though, see Iran
and Syria
Education is very important is country wise
At one place it can bring peace but on another place a totilaterian regime
I have no clue what went down in syria.. i tried look it up but it seemed to 1 big clusterfuck too me
like 8 parties making allies and fighting eachother but the parties didnt allign with their parties allies
Whole Middle East case is something you cant understand without going there, even people living there will be able to understand what went wrong after decades
imagine students giving their history exams there
There is a huge intervention of external forces, riots, different motivations but in the end just people living in there lost and everyone else won
Where are you from, Eren?
Turkey
Türkiye
i bet syria was about gas and oil like most wars 😛
they really increased the complexity of türkiye's spelling 😭
Its about resources & energy => influence and power.
to prevent people from what ryobg did 
i like how the bird's name couldn't be changed
imagine if people started calling the bird türkiye as well
lol yea thats how ill order my subway sandwich from now on 😄
it also has a very weird history, turkeys came to Europe from our lands but they also come to our lands from India, then Europeans started to call Anatolia as turkey 
imagine calling a land as an animal name just because that animal came from that direction
that's how i refer to people in my head 😮
@timber viper how about native indians? 😛
some guy got the location wrong and now they are stuck with the name
ue.cpp.person
or ue::cpp::person if that's legal
You mean native americans? 🙂
owyea 🙂
wait, so its not "India" actually?
it's actually america 🤔
no, America is still not in India
The guy thought he would sail around the world and get to India, instead of having to go around Africa.
he wasn't wrong
Landed at a big place, said, "FUCK YUEAH INDIA" and called the people Indians.
he could've gotten there i think
Not really, the Panama canal was man made.
yeah by going around south america
He'd have to sail around south america.
around the globe
Are we talking about Colomb?
i assume so
And man, Columbus was a giant douche.
his egg trick was neat tho
egg?
Laura?
egg of columbus
what tricks did he do with his eggs?
Probably sold the eggs into slavery and killed their parents.
now that you mentioned it, we are quite brutal with chickens
yea taste like turky
he put it on salt
making the egg stand up
salt was very expensive back then
affectionateUser doing their usual shenanigans again
How is that a trick exactly? Did he just make a little hole for the salt so it didn't fall over?
I think he smashed part of it actually
i think its real.. he oprolly didnt think of the trick himself tho
maybe the salt I remember wrong
An egg of Columbus or Columbus' egg (Italian: uovo di Colombo [ˈwɔːvo di koˈlombo]) refers to a brilliant idea or discovery that seems simple or easy after the fact. The expression refers to an apocryphal story, dating from at least the 16th century, in which it is said that Christopher Columbus, having been told that finding a new trade route w...
Apocryphal indeed.
when some1 show u a trick u can understand its easy to reproduce
under that, this says this story is also told for an architect guy
who did this for a dome construction
so no idea who came first
who came first?
but they smashed the egg to make it stand huh
no one knows it seems
i am so confused, what are your referring to?
This is why I hate doing technical design work as any form of prereq for a job
Been cheated out of pay more than once when I've revealed the solution and they pay someone else to do it
The factual accuracy of this story is called into question by its similarity to another tale published fifteen years earlier (while Benzoni was still travelling in the Americas) by painter and architect Giorgio Vasari
That whosoever could make an egg stand upright on a flat piece of marble should build the cupola, since thus each man's intellect would be discerned. Taking an egg, therefore, all those Masters sought to make it stand upright, but not one could find a way. Whereupon Filippo, being told to make it stand, took it graciously, and, giving one end of it a blow on the flat piece of marble, made it stand upright. The craftsmen protested that they could have done the same; but Filippo answered, laughing, that they could also have raised the cupola, if they had seen the model or the design. And so it was resolved that he should be commissioned to carry out this work.
and the Columbus story
Columbus being at a party with many noble Spaniards, where, as was customary, the subject of conversation was the Indies: one of them undertook to say: —"Mr. Christopher, even if you had not found the Indies, we should not have been devoid of a man who would have attempted the same that you did, here in our own country of Spain, as it is full of great men clever in cosmography and literature." Columbus said nothing in answer to these words, but having desired an egg to be brought to him, he placed it on the table saying: "Gentlemen, I will lay a wager with any of you, that you will not make this egg stand up as I will, naked and without anything at all." They all tried, and no one succeeded in making it stand up. When the egg came round to the hands of Columbus, by beating it down on the table he fixed it, having thus crushed a little of one end; wherefore all remained confused, understanding what he would have said: that after the deed is done, everybody knows how to do it; that they ought first to have sought for the Indies, and not laugh at him who had sought for it first, while they for some time had been laughing, and wondered at it as an impossibility.
Why tho
this is sad reality
What have I missed
you could've also just pointed at the text
eggs of Columbus
Fezzes are pretty shit, to be fair.
Well fuck you too
ehh what?
kek
informations tricks and jokes spread by other means in those days
yeah, memes would be so much more costly to engrave
viral didnt go as fast
Except the biological kind.
i bet we all know that 1 person... that tells stories like he was there but you know he wasnt but just read it somewhere
i knew a guy that would repeat back what a stand up comedian said. i was well aware the stories he was telling never happened and wasn't even his own xD but hey it was fun
yea same for me... was some dude at work and we had lots of time to kill anyways
at work
time to kill
simple labour... we could have sang slave songs or done otherstuff 🙂
yea that too.. you dont wunna piss off the persons u spend 8 hours a day with
mayB i might have made his bad habit worse by not mentioning it tho
atmosphere at work is pretty important tho
it's okay to spoil people a bit !
that's some cutting edge technology
yea it was pretty weird with that guy tho. im not even sure if he reaslized what he was doin
https://i.gyazo.com/6112bcdf17ef65b48d472b1d7eccbea3.gif
when the content browser has no clue what to do with your material
like some other friend came visit and we went to a party where he also was... and next day i could see him come over to us and told my friend hey that guy we met yesterday is gunna tell us some BS story now just let him
and everything that happened at the party he told in a way that he was the center
made up some extra stuff and my friend was just like.. wtf
xD that's a weird guy then
well atleast he was talkative
maybe just wanted people to look at him more favourably at work
yea hes not a bad guy 😛
it's trying its best okay !
i could just never figuere out if he knew himself it all wasnt true
What material even is it
okay that's entering some, schizophrenia (?) territory
probably some vfx
Yeah
particle or something
now that i think about it, ue by default would be quite bad with showing previews for vfx artists :/
:/
its a Hedron material
its a mesh with loads of rotating/moving pieces, and instead of cutting the mesh up, im rotating and moving the pieces inside the material.
this way its just one drawcall instead of 9
Ah
Anyways now me and my concept artist have the stupidest but most sci fi thing ever

Eh thinking more like vultron
so it's not vfx 🤔
it is, its effects added to a mesh
ohh
just not the pew kind
could be substitute for animations
ah
yea, nothing moving on tick
renderthread be ticking
difference between:
hey gpu, keep rotating this? gpu: okay. rotates
vs:
hey you rotating this? hey you rotating this? hey you rotating this? hey you rotating this? hey you rotating this? hey you rotating this? hey you rotating this? hey you rotating this? hey you rotating this? hey you rotating this?
well animations in rest dont tick 😛
I have some like this. Using texture sampling to drive WPO, but the texture has to be generated at runtime. Preview will never be useful for this material unless you unconnect the WPO pin.
it more like cpu u rotate this aswell 😛
if you do it in BP
gpu is just a bit better at it
haha, yea. in some cases I do add a static switch or lerp so the preview at least looks okay
i hope it atleast looks consistently like that so you can atleast recognise "it's that weird wpo material !"
Yeah I made it simple so anyone else that sees it doesn't freak out. I legit thought of putting "unpin this to debug!" in the name
In my case, it's used in most the materials in the project...
It's the basis for the #not-chaos-destruction system I'm making
A large percentage of the level geometry will use it. It's not so bad because you can unpin the wpo when working with it.
if its your own system, just add a static value to a variable in lerp/whatever. that way the preview doesnt get this value and shows the mesh correctly.
#hackyworkaround
Is there a static variable that can be set for only preview?
more like, a lerp in your material function controlled by a var.
when your mesh is loaded in your destruction system, set var to 1.
so if it isnt loaded (var = 0), it disables the WPO-stuff, and shows the mesh correctly in the viewer.
Oh I see. Clever.
cheeky thing ive done with weird vfx
Unfortunately the entire geometry is generated. I was a little disingenuous in saying you just have to unpin the WPO. You also have to put it on the original static mesh.
ah, lol
yea, no idea then XD
Voronoi fracture with WPO to put the fragments back into place
nice
It's not quite as pretty as chaos but runs around 100x more efficiently (I think?) I need to put it through harder stress testing
I was getting around 0.04ms cpu time dealing with the destruction on my level with a half dozen or so meshes
Actually I think I will use this idea. If I do this I can put the exact same material on the unfractured static meshes.
Thanks for the brilliant idea!
np. glad to backseat dev XD

Why do so many tutorial peeps and even some Epic stream hosts fumble around trying to find a file, when ctrl + p exists?
Best shortcut 2022
What does ctrl + p do for you? For me it pulls up the print dialog
The Open Asset dialogue, where you can type file name (or random substrings, advanced filtering, etc) to jump to one quickly
Oh this is in UE...
Maybe, you can type something like GA Potion !Base, which filters for assets with the first two substrings but no the latter
Oh I see you aren't talking about VS
Looks like that also works in 4.27
Yeah it's honestly brilliant, and means I don't need to faff about with the content drawer 90% of the time. Helps give me a reason for a good naming scheme too 🙂
You can also check on type, EG Class=SoundCue Fireball
I think all of this cool stuff applies in the dialogue too
https://www.unrealdirective.com/articles/advanced-search-syntax-what-you-need-to-know
The answer to that is simple... most people don't actually know that shortcut exists
:P
It's the same thing in VS, Rider, etc. - people don't know most of the search functions exist
And unless they've used a similar search in another tool previously - which most haven't because they don't know it exists - they won't know to look for one either
Yeah, I remember co-workers giving me their menial tasks because I was the only one that understood how multi-cursor editing worked, and I'd cut down things taking several minutes to a few seconds 😐
I tried to teach them but they'd rather the task gets done, till next time they had to do it again...
lol
tbh I wouldn't want to do that type of tasks either even if I knew how to do it lol
Yeah fair, but sometimes there's no way around it 🤷♂️ I'd rather do it quickly than watch someone struggle for ages haha
Yeah
i hate this, and you end up doing it everytime
i am thankful for scriptable stuff because of this sometimes, if they don't understand it, give them a script instead for each time
The key is to be the person who is busy working on priority tasks
This way if someone tries to offload some menial work to you you can just say "well I got this high priority thing"
lol
....or just be the lead so you're the one offloading to others :p
"just show me how to do it this once!!"
Hi
It would be more cost effective to just buy a new one
I knew I had to go with 5$ ones...
Retailing at $4,240 (£2,190), the Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional HP Japan, produced by an affiliate of Fujitsu, is the world's most expensive computer keyboard. Its extreme price is due in part to the fact that its keys are hand coated in Urushi lacquer and then dusted with gold.
"dusted with gold" just seems to be an excuse used to add an extra digit onto the price
Screw it. I'm going to patent "dusted with platinum" and add TWO digits to the price.
yup , i expected unnecessary diamonds to break the record for price
but gold is decent
honestly, i don't think this looks $4240
At the very least you need a matching mouse / monitor or no sale.
i like how there is no world record result for cheapest keyboard
Get a distributor license and sell one of these keyboards for 1 venezuelan dollar.
but really, this doesn't have rgb lights either it seems
i can't find any atleast
Maybe make a $4241 keyboard that looks like a normal keyboard but has a dust-vaporizing laser for self cleaning.
just 20$ per year. can skip two coffie cups
What kind of coffee you are drinking?
it's not that, he breaks 2 or more cups a year, but he can just cut back on the destruction for the sake of consumerism!
@timber viper supposed to be a dog with a ban hammer
One more 😅
Mid journey must be using some kind of voodoo or something
I always thought the ai art generation was a silly gimmick before
It has a distinct look, but there's some real value for concept work and surrealistic game posters
damn that's ugly
yes, it's gross
my keyboard is much nicer and not even a tenth of the price
aww come here let me rub you!
talking to the dog
same!
infact , i can add the prices of all keyboards i ever had and that would still be less and feel great
you can't even see the letters on that costly keyboard
okay is there no letter?
yeah looks like blank keycaps
why would anyone want it blank 🤔
okay it looks much better in a real environment
i would want to press it, but not own it
still looks like shit
blank keycaps are kinda cool though
man why they made it in OEM profile
normies
oem?
wait there's that much specification ?!
there's a norm for everything
which is the best?
it looks so much nicer
and I find it nicer to typeon
there is no "best"
it's personal preference
i see i see
why do you know about this, dieter?
so if you don't buy custom keycaps, it's probably OEM
were you into keyboard business?
cause I built my own keyboard lol
not in the bizz
well more modified than built
huh, that sounds, hard
i can see why you should need to look into key types then
if you get a hot swap pcb it's pretty easy
would*
if not, you will have to do some soldering
hmmm
of course you can go as far as you want with modding
.. did the normal buttons annoy you so much you made your own?
not really
I just like building my shit that I use
and I type for most of my awake time
so better make it nice and comfortable
ah neat neat!
the switches make the biggest difference in feel imo
like you have cherry mx brows, red and blue
so it feels good to touch and press now huh
but then there's 1000s of of other types
I got some fake holy panda switches
very nice tactile switch
hmm, it seems that i have no idea what a switch means here!
the clickety thing under the key caps
so you have the plastic thingies on top of your keyboard, that's the keycap
under the cap you have a clicking mechanism that pushes down to the pcb to register your press
that's the switch
if you pull off a keycap on your board yo ucan see
these things
it alters the feeling and sound of pressing down keys
i like the mx brown they're not as loud as the other cherry switches
suddenly keyboards feel like advanced tech to me lol
don't tell this to any enthousiast
mx browns are hated by the community
kinda ironically but also not
if you want really silent you can get boxed switches
the best keycap profile is goathead sticker shaped
people do like noisy keys at times
hmm, outed myself as a heretic i suppose haha
if I want loud keyboards, i'd go back to typewriters
wait won't you have to change them for all keys?
might look into those, thanks
they're utterly noisy tho
well the mx brown are a bit mushy so yeah
so can we "hot swap" all of switches easily?
if you have a hotswap pcb yeah
if it is not mentioned specifically in your keyboard listing, it will not be hotswap
then you can still do it
but you will need a soldering kit
ah cherry is now also producing silent red and silent black switches
if you want really quiet, there's a kailh box series
like quiet quiet https://youtu.be/KIlqBQM3lk8?t=247
there's a whole world down in these keyboards huh
stop graping already xD
it's been like a few weeks
you can also mod your keyboard if you wanna go really quiet
like with fitting your pcb with rubber instead of bolting it down
and foam in your case
and o-rings around the switches
only o-ring I know of is the one mentioned in austin powers
listen to this for modded silentnes https://youtu.be/-Su8UMCCIDk?t=524
that's silent yeah
I think this guy did hitless DS3 with bananas as well at some point
omg thats hillarious
yeah, i don't need it quiet quiet, but i like it if my keyboard isn't obscenely louder than my rig, or me trying to talk to someone else
mine is like right below the threshold of people hating me when typing next to them
perfect
i think these people should really add an average keyboard for reference, because they are all super quite
"That's not the attack banana, that's the dodge banana!"
this is same keyboard before modding https://youtu.be/-Su8UMCCIDk?t=34
for whom???
🐴 🍌
that's way too loud xD
i expected loud but, that's loud
so it's a form of, care?
i can allow that i suppose,
this album cover looks like blueprint debug print spam

Hello
Hello
Hello
lol yeah
Removing the caps with a tool!?! Rookie. All it takes is a good solid hit.
The connectiveness of my keycaps is inversely proportional to my stress levels!
I dunno. Bananas may be a viable alternative here
Ew. I want 100% tyvm
I had a co-worker that built one of those once
I'm on 75% myself now
He would like to carry the thing back and forth between home and work
considering 65%, but idk I like the function keys
the spacebar atleast has some space
this is "normal" 40% btw
Even though I've hit my keyboard a couple times, the only real lasting damage was when one of the caps got destroyed in a move.
ehh maybe
i see why people offer you the P key now
The problem with that, is the base is usually pretty thick and heavy
netbook haven't heard that term in ages
Not the ideal thing to carry around
You need something thinner like the keyboard / cover hybrids common with tablets / the surface
but that feels like garbage to type on though
I guess 40% would be nice if you move between locations a lot idk
never tried one
..a-as long as it works?
it doesn't works?
okay
kinda wanna give it a go though
i prefer 100% keyboards i need my numpad
I'd love to find a good mobile solution for game dev
There's a lot of sacrifices if you can't have a dedicated beefy rig
then of course there's people that wanna split keyboard but are afraid of committing
that's the keycap set I currently have on btw
I did that actually, but that was when GPUs were very hard to come by
didn't they make projector laser keyboards? and foldable keyboards
Oh the laser keyboards would be the absolute worst
Would be bad for your fingers to type directly on the hard table surface
looks pressable
there's also full split
i dunno those "ergo" keyboards scare me, i only ever had the bog standard formfactor
Are the ergo keyboards that much better?
depends who you ask
i can see that, the bounciness of keys really helps yeah,
I'd always assumed height was far more important for ergonomics
Gotta keep those elbows at 90 and don't contort the wrists upwards!
those full split ergonomic keyboards mess me right up
i wonder if there's a keyboard tied to your wrists or something too
I knew a guy that would use 2 keyboards to get something similar to ergo. He claimed all the ergo keyboards were garbage
can I introduce you to left handed keypad keyboards
I don't type using the "home keys"... my typing is a giant tornado of a mess
Maybe he couldn't find mechanical ergo keyboards then?
.. of course it exists ! xD
there are controller like mouse + keyboard combos
I think if you go 100% left side numpad actuall makes sense to not lose the mouse space
and at this point, its hard muscle memory
left handed ergo keyboard plox
This is actually a good point
that looks way better than the costliest keyboard
true
as in joystick and ps5 controllers?
sorry idk what those are called
please see banana controller above
no no a combination of a mouse ball thingy in the middle and all the keyboard keys are just on the controller surface
I wish there were more companies making something like the Belkin Nostromo / Razer Nostromo
oh wait, do you mean like those real old computers from the 80's that had the mouse as a ball on the side of the keyboard?
looks like a xbox controller on prescription drugs
that one is really bananas !
wth is this
those roller-ball type mice were actually pretty sweet for drawing
We just need neurolinks so we can just jack into the computer.
it's nice but the shape reminds me of that alien movie where, they look gross and do gross stuff
Haha. This sounds like a midjourney prompt.
If I hadn't blown my trial license already I would totally use that prompt
blink in morse !
did you see that future soldier on armor with medieval sword pics what mid journey produced
What is that monstrosity?
working on it
may i present a keyboard + track ball combo
Was it one of the ones blue linked?
so does that mean blue man has paid for their services?
yeah what blue linked
I'm fairly sure Blue is on the sub now
any of you got this baby?
He mentioned $30 is a steal
I may license it, but I want to make sure video gamey prompts won't land me in trouble with their TOS
yeah hes' been posting so much, he's paying for it for sure
that's a "keyboard" with an integrated mouse / trackball
They are "pg-13 only content"
what in tarnation is that
why does it looks like it needs help xD
this one's for you
dragonquest switch controller
oh no. here come the hentai controllers
Didn't they make some Pokemon switch controllers too?
that, could use some vitamin K
Activision rubbing off on Nintendo
i dunno, from what i heard it is apparently really comfortable to use
this looks kinda sus ngl
wouldn't wanna touch that with a ten foot pole
I don't have it, but apparently it's very unusable
cute + creepy in one pic!
the color is really not helping xD
maybe once you have enough muscle memory ? i guess
yeah I suppose so, I feel like it would take ages for me lol
speaking of touching with poles
actually nvm
do we wanna know where that was supposed to go?
i prefer something which can be carried over as well, like regular qwerty keyboard muscle memory
ok but what about dvorak
it's better to stay curious, and be adventurous a bit! why don't you discover and explore some new things today?
not really though
Have you used dvorak?
no
For a while it was on my list to learn. Then I decided I was just too lazy.
top result for dvorak
idk if it's worth it to learn
it will probably take me a while to get as fast as I am on qwerty now
me no like change
I already type consistently around 80+, not sure I would gain much from dvorak
The adjustment period might make me go insane
if you try it once, you might end up discovering a new norm!
and ben has been inactive for days you see!
what is the connection between those sentences
imagine going somewhere and then typing into a qwerty again
Yeah this as well
Though to be fair, I find it disgusting to type on anyone else's keyboard anyways
Yeah that was my opinion too until I tried it 😅
dvorak <--- switched to dvorak
holy heck where are the keys
it means you get to try something new quickly!
I'm very close to also subbing
I want to use it for concept work, and some creepy in game art for a carnival escape room idea I have
same..
It's an addiction 😅
but we know you can't carry keyboards all too easily
at this point
dvorak … are you okay?
ydabt frg
My only concern is that some of my video game related prompts may be against their TOS
So I'm not that bad
that's me trying to type: hello world
Basically no super disturbing gore and no 18+ stuff
Windows has an onscreen keyboard actually... never considered using that for learning dvorak before
!8ball does blue man have addiction to midjorney?
@soft night, :8ball: Ask again later.
imagine if the bot could generate that, it would get way more subs
Yeah I was reading their TOS earlier today. PG-13 is the guideline
Something like "attractive women fighting with lightsabers" could start pushing into against TOS territory
But would be perfectly in line with some video game concepts
Laura beat me to it, again
Oh yeah that earlier
We really need a canned message for the script kiddies looking to hack games
It can but you are not allowed to
In fact it sometimes generates questionable things that I have to delete without even prompting it to generate
!8ball you like midjourney?
@soft night, :8ball: Don't count on it.
the ue3 "hacker" from earlier
Haha, yeah I don't think a real dev would ever word it quite like that
yeah okay, then , generate stuff, download, delete, do whatever with it, profit???
Supposedly they have a mod team that even looks at private generated stuff
You can emote to delete questionable stuff to "self police"
summoning the mods again i see
I have 2 game concepts I'd want to use midjourney for. One is a Kaiju simulator. Godzilla rampaging through a city. The other is a carnival themed destruction oriented escape room with lots of broken things.
The bot blocks almost all inappropriate words so you have to get creative to generate weird stuff (and you are risking a ban)
I'd worry about pushing into their "non-violent" territory even though I wouldn't want the games to be above T or M necessarily
yeah thicc was blocked rip
that's convenient
I wanted thicc super mario
don't they intent on monetizing, what happens if you need to delete do they have some kind of return policy?
^
Yeah you don't really pay per thing
The $30 tier is what you'd really want, and it gives potentially unlimited images
for 30$ a month
You get 15h of fast gpu hours and unlimited relaxed mode which is a bit slower
Did you go for their private tier?
I'm not really sure how public things are on their service
i wonder what you can type to bypass that, fat? chubby? plump?
I haven't no since I'm not generating anything too important, we do have private mode for the game concept art stuff
Yeah this is what I was thinking about getting it for
I went for phat
The power and speed of concepting with it is crazy
On my personal account I don't have private
did it work?
yes
Are the friend accounts basically the trials with ~25 images?
as intended?
Also apparently I asked and they don't have a problem with you generating stuff, saving it and deleting it from the website, you can keep using it which is basically like private mode
that's mario yes
the lower left-hand corner is nightmare fuel
I'll probably get a license. could be used for really cool creepy in game posters
Also helpful while I concept some logos
Banned word, can't generate lol
got the upscaled version of that one
is there no licensing attached to those images?
Right now their licensing is only related to crypto
these ones were kinda nice
I'm sure eventually they may charge for other commercial use
and this
20% cut on crypto stuff over $20k monthly
Basically MJ owns the images but you have full rights to use it for anything (there are some special rules for crypto and large companies)
also liked this one
didn't know michael jackson was involved
Realistically, the images would mostly be used as fodder for matte painting or in house concept art that is never released
what did you type? sad paintbrush?
that indian guy you tried to help right?
personification of loneliness
The "AI art aesthetic" would happen to be a good fit for creepy games though
Creepy / horror
what did you type? sunset meditation?
"inner peace"
there are some really nice outputs from that ai
horizon zero dawn, aloy, fighting t rex, oil painting
I wanted to see if they could do arbitrary video game art
I honestly did not expect it to work
what did you type? room with people?
I did cute death stranding
huh ...
ah, that makes sense
i wonder how big that data set was / i.e. what kinda licensed images they scanned
"content meeting" lol
league of angels, 4k promo poster
Google images' safesearch database
This one I was worried might get me in trouble
League of Angels is a hypersexualized mobile game
I mean in trouble with midjourney
and my bro jon skeet
those "hands" tho, they creep me out
Yeah exactly. Would be fantastic in any creepy game!
i think that's heels
Lol didn't know that
I want to see if you can use midjourney for stuff like this, but "anime waifu" might start pushing into against TOS stuff
XD
But you know me... TTP and all
Blue man did some anime waifu shit
i don't even know what a "waifu" is
this one
they're a true hero
what happens if you go against the TOS? can a "jk" get you out of it?
they must wanna get banned from the internet
Oh I do have a collection, you wanna see 😅
first here is a dog
who is the guy yeeting to the top of that graph though
what's a waifu?
a "wife" but anime
oh
it's used as "my fav anime girl" in common lingo tho
steampunk angel
I might have a thing for angels or smth
And apparently midjourney has a thing for hooks as limbs
did they cut their own leg xD
Everyone in midjourney is a pirate confirmed
the sum of 4+0+9+4 is 17!
Wow Marc Gravell is nearing 1m as well
Here is some best samples from my collection 😅
don't even find myself on that list 😭
I used his serializer in Unity when I was a little more deranged than I am now.
that's very waifu of you
the second to last too, has faces instead of a neck
Yeah they need a little touching up, but for like 60s of generating time are phenomenal
we ignore that part
it's all made of deformed blobs of humans but at the end of the day it seems like a normal art !
yeah
actually i am surprised it got most body parts in the right places
The 4th one looks the closest to a human, actually got the shoulders correct which is rare lol
really seems to have issues with symmetries in general from what i've seen so far
well, yeah.. but atleast the face has eyes nose and a mouth !
although for some reason they have water spots often
symmetrical face in the prompt helps a lot
and then you get these nightmare fuel eyes
it's not bad tbh
I wonder if Frank Frazetta would be a permitted style?
anime characters have different color eyes often
Frank Frazetta is well known for a lot of near nude pieces with rippling muscles
do it
(and sometimes full nude)
let's see some hand to heel muscles
this one actually ended up looking pretty nice
A lot of artists aspire to his mastery of human anantomy
that's like a superhero costume
"human anatomy" is the last thing the ai can copy rip
this is pretty decent too
it's better than me
That's just it. I took human portraiture and did some nude figure drawing. Stuff like this would take me days to make and wouldn't look very good.
i wonder, if you trace over these...?
