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.

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

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.

#

Not that I care, but you're saying it's a fact, not opinion, so back it up.

foggy path
#

Based on what I've heard about UK politics in the news that seems correct

fleet tangle
#

Not by a long shot.

mossy nexus
#

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.

cursive crypt
#

tldr: he bad

mossy nexus
#

Boris believes that only Boris can be Boris and anyone not Boris is irrelevant

cursive crypt
#

Tho, I noticed, I dont see issues with the wife's support.

mossy nexus
#

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.

fleet tangle
#

His wife should be the HO minister. 😂

mossy nexus
#

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.

fleet tangle
#

So you can't back up your claim then, btw? I see no comparisons here. Just a rant about Boris.

cursive crypt
#

I smell smoke.

fleet tangle
#

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

mossy nexus
#

Hmm. I wonder if the person that paid £120,000 to have dinner with Boris+wife, Gove, and Pitel has had it yet.... 😄 😄

timber viper
#

I heard "1922 Comittee" played a role in Boris' resignment, is that true?

mossy nexus
#

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!"

timber viper
#

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

mossy nexus
#

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

deep copper
#

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

deep copper
#

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.

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.

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.

night grove
#

Oh I see. Clever.

deep glen
#

cheeky thing ive done with weird vfx

night grove
#

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.

deep glen
#

ah, lol

night grove
deep glen
#

yea, no idea then XD

night grove
#

Voronoi fracture with WPO to put the fragments back into place

deep glen
#

nice

night grove
#

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

deep glen
#

interesting!

#

also << afk

night grove

Thanks for the brilliant idea!

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

night grove
noble plaza
#

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

night grove
#

Looks like that also works in 4.27

noble plaza
#

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

foggy path
#

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

noble plaza
foggy path
#

lol

#

tbh I wouldn't want to do that type of tasks either even if I knew how to do it lol

noble plaza
#

Yeah fair, but sometimes there's no way around it 🤷‍♂️ I'd rather do it quickly than watch someone struggle for ages haha

foggy path
#

Yeah

deep copper
#

i am thankful for scriptable stuff because of this sometimes, if they don't understand it, give them a script instead for each time

foggy path
#

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

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.

regal pecan
#

"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.

deep copper
deep copper

but gold is decent

At the very least you need a matching mouse / monitor or no sale.

deep copper
#

i like how there is no world record result for cheapest keyboard

regal pecan
#

Get a distributor license and sell one of these keyboards for 1 venezuelan dollar.

deep copper
#

i can't find any atleast

regal pecan
#

Maybe make a $4241 keyboard that looks like a normal keyboard but has a dust-vaporizing laser for self cleaning.

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

proud jay
deep copper
proud jay
#

my keyboard is much nicer and not even a tenth of the price

deep copper
#

talking to the dog

deep copper
#

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?

proud jay
#

yeah looks like blank keycaps

deep copper
#

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

proud jay
#

still looks like shit

#

blank keycaps are kinda cool though

#

man why they made it in OEM profile

#

normies

deep copper
#

oem?

proud jay
#

the profile of the keycaps

#

how they're sculpted

deep copper
#

as in, the keyboard layout?

#

or the shape of keys?

proud jay
#

shape of keycaps

deep copper
#

wait there's that much specification ?!

proud jay
#

yeah

#

I use XDA myself

#

all keys have same shape

short grove
#

there's a norm for everything

deep copper
#

which is the best?

proud jay
#

it looks so much nicer

#

and I find it nicer to typeon

#

there is no "best"

#

it's personal preference

deep copper
#

i see i see

proud jay
#

there's always exceptions

#

default is OEM

deep copper
#

why do you know about this, dieter?

proud jay
#

so if you don't buy custom keycaps, it's probably OEM

deep copper
#

were you into keyboard business?

proud jay
#

not in the bizz

#

well more modified than built

deep copper
#

huh, that sounds, hard

proud jay
#

same-ish

#

not really tbh

deep copper
#

i can see why you should need to look into key types then

proud jay
#

if you get a hot swap pcb it's pretty easy

deep copper
#

would*

proud jay
#

if not, you will have to do some soldering

deep copper
#

hmmm

proud jay
#

of course you can go as far as you want with modding

deep copper
#

.. did the normal buttons annoy you so much you made your own?

proud jay
#

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

deep copper
#

ah neat neat!

proud jay
#

the switches make the biggest difference in feel imo

#

like you have cherry mx brows, red and blue

deep copper
#

so it feels good to touch and press now huh

proud jay
#

but then there's 1000s of of other types

#

I got some fake holy panda switches

#

very nice tactile switch

deep copper
#

hmm, it seems that i have no idea what a switch means here!

short grove
#

the clickety thing under the key caps

proud jay
#

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

deep copper
#

ah, those metal stuff under the key

#

key cap

proud jay
#

if you pull off a keycap on your board yo ucan see

#

these things

#

it alters the feeling and sound of pressing down keys

short grove
#

i like the mx brown they're not as loud as the other cherry switches

deep copper
#

suddenly keyboards feel like advanced tech to me lol

proud jay
#

mx browns are hated by the community

#

kinda ironically but also not

#

if you want really silent you can get boxed switches

primal summit
#

the best keycap profile is goathead sticker shaped

deep copper
#

people do like noisy keys at times

short grove
#

hmm, outed myself as a heretic i suppose haha

proud jay
#

these kinds

#

they actually dampen the sound a lot

short grove
#

if I want loud keyboards, i'd go back to typewriters

deep copper
#

wait won't you have to change them for all keys?

short grove
proud jay
#

if you want loud, find "clicky switches"

#

the "default" of these being cherry mx blue

short grove
#

they're utterly noisy tho

proud jay
#

yeah

#

insane

#

actually bought my second keyboard because I found my blues too loud :p

short grove
deep copper
proud jay
#

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

short grove
#

ah cherry is now also producing silent red and silent black switches

proud jay
#

if you want really quiet, there's a kailh box series

deep copper
#

there's a whole world down in these keyboards huh

#

stop graping already xD

#

it's been like a few weeks

proud jay
#

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

dim ruin
#

only o-ring I know of is the one mentioned in austin powers

proud jay
deep copper
proud jay
#

I think this guy did hitless DS3 with bananas as well at some point

dim ruin
#

omg thats hillarious

short grove
#

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

"That's not the attack banana, that's the dodge banana!"

Hello
Hello
Hello

night grove
#

The connectiveness of my keycaps is inversely proportional to my stress levels!

proud jay
#

ok but have you heard of 40% ortho keyboards

dim ruin
#

I dunno. Bananas may be a viable alternative here

night grove
#

Ew. I want 100% tyvm

deep copper
night grove
#

I had a co-worker that built one of those once

proud jay
#

I'm on 75% myself now

night grove
#

He would like to carry the thing back and forth between home and work

proud jay
#

considering 65%, but idk I like the function keys

short grove
deep copper
#

the spacebar atleast has some space

proud jay
#

this is "normal" 40% btw

night grove
#

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.

proud jay
#

wait

#

I didn't want the link

#

ok now it's not uplaoding the image

#

thanks discord

short grove
#

ehh maybe

deep copper
night grove
#

The problem with that, is the base is usually pretty thick and heavy

short grove
#

netbook haven't heard that term in ages

night grove
#

Not the ideal thing to carry around

deep copper
# proud jay

that's more adorable!! it's like a child keyboard

night grove
#

You need something thinner like the keyboard / cover hybrids common with tablets / the surface

proud jay
#

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

deep copper
#

..a-as long as it works?
it doesn't works?
okay

proud jay
#

kinda wanna give it a go though

short grove
#

i prefer 100% keyboards i need my numpad

night grove
#

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

proud jay
#

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

night grove
#

I did that actually, but that was when GPUs were very hard to come by

deep copper
#

didn't they make projector laser keyboards? and foldable keyboards

night grove
#

Oh the laser keyboards would be the absolute worst

#

Would be bad for your fingers to type directly on the hard table surface

deep copper
proud jay
#

there's also full split

short grove
night grove
#

Are the ergo keyboards that much better?

proud jay
#

depends who you ask

deep copper
night grove
#

I'd always assumed height was far more important for ergonomics

#

Gotta keep those elbows at 90 and don't contort the wrists upwards!

dim ruin
#

those full split ergonomic keyboards mess me right up

deep copper
#

i wonder if there's a keyboard tied to your wrists or something too

night grove
#

I knew a guy that would use 2 keyboards to get something similar to ergo. He claimed all the ergo keyboards were garbage

proud jay
#

can I introduce you to left handed keypad keyboards

dim ruin
#

I don't type using the "home keys"... my typing is a giant tornado of a mess

night grove
#

Maybe he couldn't find mechanical ergo keyboards then?

deep copper
#

.. of course it exists ! xD

short grove
proud jay
#

I think if you go 100% left side numpad actuall makes sense to not lose the mouse space

dim ruin
#

and at this point, its hard muscle memory

regal pecan

deep copper
proud jay
#

true

deep copper
#

sorry idk what those are called

dim ruin
#

please see banana controller above

short grove
#

no no a combination of a mouse ball thingy in the middle and all the keyboard keys are just on the controller surface

night grove
#

I wish there were more companies making something like the Belkin Nostromo / Razer Nostromo

dim ruin
#

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?

short grove
#

looks like a xbox controller on prescription drugs

deep copper
proud jay
#

wth is this

dim ruin
#

those roller-ball type mice were actually pretty sweet for drawing

night grove
#

We just need neurolinks so we can just jack into the computer.

dim ruin
#

and then what about people with adhd?

#

that fucking mouse will be all over the place

proud jay
#

I used to have a razer naga with all those side buttons for playing WoW

#

good times

night grove
#

Or eyetracking. Blink twice to type the word yes!

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

I already type consistently around 80+, not sure I would gain much from dvorak

#

The adjustment period might make me go insane

You can emote to delete questionable stuff to "self police"

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.

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

I wanted thicc super mario

short grove
proud jay
#

you pay for the gpu time

#

not for the image

broken sigil

night grove
#

Yeah you don't really pay per thing

#

The $30 tier is what you'd really want, and it gives potentially unlimited images

broken sigil
#

for 30$ a month
You get 15h of fast gpu hours and unlimited relaxed mode which is a bit slower

Realistically, the images would mostly be used as fodder for matte painting or in house concept art that is never released
