oh lol
I still cant forget about spiders in Australia
Only reason I will never visit there
The second most Greek populated city after WWII was in Australia, for a while, fun fact
they also dont forget about you 😄

I barely ever see a spider. When I do, I get my partner to uh, 'deal with them'
they poison you before you see them?
How Greeks managed to migrate to Australia in WW2? Its too far away and at the year Italy/Germany invaded Greece Australia was also not safe either
Gotta be wary, but I've survived so far 💪
i also don't forget about you 😄
@timber viper this was in Melbourne but I don't remember the exact year TBH. Something like 1/4 or 1/5 people there were Greek (related)
Interesting
Well at least they were safe there
Well, maybe a little bit not safe because of spiders
Greatest dangers in Australia are drop bears and rugby mums with oversized SUVs
and that bird they went to war with
You're learning well, young one
Yeah, in October Overwatch 1 becomes unplayable.
The files get uninstalled. and byebye forever.
i can't remember the name of the bird though 😭
Anyone saw www.you.com yet?
Emu
i only remember goose and it looks like ostrich xD
what does it show?
too slow
ah
What the fuck is this shit
guess it's not always accurate
OH - may be a NOT operato
that might be so 🤔
if it's for programmers i expect some fancier syntaxes for search
though google also has it
did u finish that c++ book?
IDK the web page just feels like it has way too much going on for my taste
no i left at 75, and from yesterday's talk, i am considering giving c# a shot instead
Yeah I use a lot of operators in even google searches, but it really helps dig for something specific
laura creating a c# cult again
Cults do typically revolve around one person
She's just programming us with her musical notes and coroutines
laura has gained too much influence, it got more powerful after the second coming
You guys read this? Holy hell: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/vyqqtl/pc_gamer_unity_is_merging_with_a_company_who_made/
but anyway i did look into C# vs c++ articles, c# seems more simpler for me
My favourite thing is when she just flexes her BDE by replying to questions with just a "no"
bad deodorant effect?
love how the url also cuts off at "who made..."
it's an Energy
bad daughter energy?
Yeah I linked something here like yesterday IIRC
Yeah it looks like it's old new. Crazy stuff
They lay off a large amount of their engineers and now this?
It's like that Monty Python sketch, Biggus... something
In my defence the only person I've heard say BDE unironically is my girlfriend. As far as I know she possesses no such thing
BDE sounds like some bios setting to me
Then they try to install 15 different things in VS and go back to Unity quickly lol
I don't wanna get hammered hey
get bonked instead
Good thing UE has been making great strides on improving their documentation and learning hub right?
Will pave the way for the refugees!
Yeah by deprecating the content, smrt
Epic and Unity are min-maxing the engineering and business sides SMH
The only alternatives are Godot and O3DE, who aren't even running the same race, it feels like
it's time they specialised i guess !!
"Welcome to Unreal. You can read source. Which is great, because the source is the docs, and the docs are a lie."
it probably means something sk0g can't recall rn!
this did it for me
I am in the know now
Sure, but good docs would still be handy in conjunction with the source access
Like, open source projects till write documentation if they want to ease the lives of other developers. The fact that you can look at the source doesn't mean you should need to
I realized Epic is just not aware of peoples complaints
It's like 50% of feedback for people thinking about UE lol, they 100% know
they are making money with fortnite and the engine was just a bonus it seems
I have a feeling I am being baited towards a ban. Hammer reacc if this is not the case
roblox will rule aaaa+
That's a screwdriver 🤔
TBF child labour is hard to compete with, it's darn cheap
a good driver!
Big Duck Energy
who would crunch instead
Scandalous, mister. mods pls
even in that conditions they live in 
What's wrong with Barbie Girl Nox
Nox?
barbie girl nox? 
Aqua, they slap TBH
toxic
noxious, even
Okay you get a spoon awards instead
go back to ur crunching or I'll call your mom
Ew EN-US
was that a fork you react
TR-TR
he forked me
COME TO BESIKTAS
lmao
where did u saw that
did that Turkish you pissed of say that
I follow the EPL, Turks and Egyptians are social media kings I swear
...epl?
Elvish Premier League
You really love abbreviations 😅
It's combat sports as devised by the LotR Elvish sporting societies
yeah its quite difficult to live without social media when you suffer with economic collapsing and oppressive older dudes who like to rule goverments is the reality
ah, so an action game
Or maybe the English Premier League. One of those
Hull City ftw
I sprained my wrist playing sports, so now I'm frustra-trolling I guess, sorz
Isn't that a ship bro?
ah, explains why you want to shorten long terms
Hull City's managed by a Georgian ATM I think, I guess they're my default second team then
Convex or concave though
nope some Turkish millionarie bought it
owned != managed but
compute shaders
wasn't lyra a city too
oh he managed Trabzonspor too
"so top result for gif-"
look up "shotis", delicious stone baked bread
dune2
As long as VS stands for Visual Studio that is
can you pls get angry and write an optimized fluid sim tool for UE
So yeah, that does exclude like, 95% of games maybe
😦
MSVC is not yet cured
IDE good though, tyty
isnt there a file locker for git though why did you promised-not-promised that
kinda like stuff that builds on the other i suppose
even for LFS
It's like a love story on a sinking ship, let's say the Titanic. There's a thing of beauty amidst all the chaos, so I won't let the chaos take away from the beauty. I'm not sure what I'm talking about any longer however
RD good. VS bad. g'nite
fair
- LFS lets you seperate code hosting from binary hosting right
So you can back your git repo with S3 or something for the chonky files
Sure, but it could let you use GitHub again, for example.
I think it's one reason people might use LFS, which I thought was the previous question in general.
People who've used the Atlassian suite.... 🙃
GH is like Facebook in early 2010s. You're either on it, or you're invisible as a whole, I swear.
GitHub is he only link most recruiters and the likes will subject themselves to, noticed a few times them just skipping BitBucket projects or whatever.
Nominally it doesn't matter, in a way, but HR does filter weak candidates out. If you're never put forward to the more in the know people, your chances go poof
That my brain function is degraded I guess
It's almost 4AM 🙂
HR and the likes will blanket reject at a pretty high rate because that's their role really. You have to make info about you and your skills available and conveniently so, to stand a chance. Including hitting and really screaming random buzzwords they are after.
"Unity CEO John Riccitiello has said that if you’re not thinking about monetisation during your creative process, you’re a “f-in idiot.”"
O_o
If I was doing it for the money, I wouldn't 🙂
How you do that is usually the bad part.
Wasn't that an ex EA ceo?
lmao
He was an EA exec too sooo
btw talking about EA
latest Iris development made by Frostbite dev from what I've read
yeah networking thing
ex-frostbite dev*
Once had to deal with compulsory AV that flagged unsigned binaries. While working with a compiled language...
no
Red Pandas practically T-Pose to assert dominance
telling and not doing shows how polite they are!
only if people were able to pat red pandas head by default
more Y-Pose but whatever
No, it feasts on many kebabs
yeah okay definitely a giant cat then
Yeah he's gonna be a chonky one haha
its not fat
it's just hairy and furry, not fat!
that IS hairy and furry !

The modelling one? 😄
I can find it in message history
Tag me when you find it pls, I must go rest my poor brain
tis late, and it's the witching hour curently
Dark times
I don't need anime to be cringe as fuck buddy 💪
that's some flex
can you be toxic as laura without having an anime avatar though
When I was born I heard the RuneScape level up sound, and had the Cringe cape spawn on m straight away. I'm just that uncool
me neither tbh!
do i deserve a hug for that 🤔
Install the MapQuest plugin... boom nav is done
I actually enjoy that part of it, adds to the novelty which seems to be main thing that keeps me around a game these days.
Was this linked yet? https://mobilegamer.biz/devs-not-baking-monetisation-into-the-creative-process-are-fucking-idiots-says-unitys-john-riccitiello/
Unity is really trying to dig themselves into a hole aren't they
luos did
it wasnt XD
was*?
i have another great metaphor which he could use
"my heroin dealer once said, if you don't think about monetization, you are a fucking idiot"
i believe the bottom mouth here is wonderful, covered and hidden with grapes
Did you kill it?
Yes 😅
"/imagine Chromatic P surrealistic meme"
Oh I have a collection, you wanna see?
Guess they succeeded on their stress test
So quickly after the comment about swinging the ban hammer 😅
@sand oxide I think I found the BDE here
Tank
Edit: Eh taunts mods and doesn't afraid of anything
You'd think someone that worked in the game industry as the former CEO of EA would understand the power of a cherrypicked soundbite. This guy is burying Unity in record time.
I really wonder how one can get to a position to make so much money, yet routinely do their job so poorly
I like to delude myself that merit has meaning
Unity won't die right away but it feels like the buyout is coming, and when it does it'll be a company that milks it for every penny.
Yeah to be fair his comment that's quoted there sounds like he's kinda just exaggerating for sort of comedic effect I guess
Since he's first being all nice and then saying that
But it also definitely comes off a bit douchey from a guy in his position
Well, very.
He's saying something very rational in that statement, but of course that part got cut out of the goldmine of the quote he gave them RIGHT AFTER A CONTROVERSIAL PURCHASE.
Especially in context of the games industry which has been under fire for all the bro stuff and such
He should be smarter about this kind of thing, he worked for EA for God's sakes.
he maybe said it mid interview and they put that as headline
He did, but he should be on high alert for press problems considering this environment where the interview is entirely about the purchase people are visibly unhappy with.
This buyout was a complete and utter disaster of a decision, but he didn't have to go throw oil on the fire...
Like there's a literal hundred ways you could phrase what he said in a funny way
Thousands!
Like... instead of fucking idiots just call them real bingabongos or something
"They're some of the smartest people in the industry... and the dumbest, all at once."
There you go.
That took two seconds. He had hours to prepare.
Yeah
maybe he forgot or got too excited
What is more important than anything... is that you do not give them a complete sentence.
He may be trying to strike at the notion of the poor and starving artist / indie devs that fixate so much on making a game to make a game that they forget they need sustainable profit.
That's exactly what the quote was.
But he gave them an easy soundbite to sensationalize, which is basically how modern press works.
We're in the era of clickbait, and he gave them a hook.;
He said something stupid
Doesn't matter how the media works or doesn't work
He shouldn't have said it in the first place
I highly recommend reading the article because it gives that quote the actual context.
But as a headline, that's going to freak another investor out.
i wonder if he regrets or, doesn't since it's more free advertisement
And let me tell you, Unity's stocks are doing badly enough as is.
It really doesn't matter, you don't just go and call people fucking idiots for shits and giggles in an interview
Yeah, I'd agree. I wouldn't normally say it's the end of the world though, but the fact that he gave them a complete sentence to work with there shows an incredible lack of judgement as an acting high position for a big company.
Yeah
I say this as a decade long Unity dev and advocate, I want to switch to Unreal because I have no faith in the current direction Unity is headed.
Join the club
not very united is it
Lots of us Unity refugees here
And let me tell you, I still prefer Unity tenfold.
At least we have coroutines now!
There's the notes I was missing!
I'm not cool enough to have the codes memorized
But their new features are never where they need to be, and they keep firing the key staff before any improvements can be made for short term cost savings.
You must be new here. This is how modern business operates.
Sure, but Unity's doing it across the board. DOTS, Open Projects, etc. etc. etc.
As soon as they start saying stuff like "Our employees are our most important resource! Or, you can stay here as long as you want!" you know they've had meetings about cutting staff
It feels like Unity's management is using their game experience to make a stock short Any% run that will never be challenged.
I hope so much that I'm wrong.
And Chop chop.
i can see why CE was fond of that sad face now, you can add it to literally 90% messages here
mono still broken?
Yeah I didn't like Unity when I used it, I thought it was just because of personal preference.
Was that in Unity 2019? I think I had that happen at the tail end of a gamejam last year... 😔
I've got nothing bad to say about 2022.1 built-in so far but URP was near-unusable when I tried it.
Built-In was what I specified; I never tried URP again after the gamejams ran into so many unfinished UI and instability problems.
Their train wreck of graphics pipelines are what pushed me out. It is unfortunate that so much of VR dev happens on Unity.
I mean, basic drop downs not working in the Inspector? Really?
And that UE neglects VR as a result
It took them a whole year to fix serialized structs so that the first editable element didn't overlap with the second.
it really sounds like they started off good then neglected the whole thing
I know Unreal has plenty of its own issues, but Unity is stagnating and I hate seeing this amazing tech sink for stupid reasons.
Their engineers made some really good decisions early and allowed them to nearly corner the indie market for game engines
Like, really, there's an abundance of reasons as to why indie games prefer it to Unreal 90% of the time (made up number).
But now business people are screwing it all up
Fortnite sent UE4 lightyears ahead of where it was before.
yeah i recall in 2016 or something unity was on equal footing if not ahead of ue
This too. When Unity took off, UE was NOT in the cards for indies.
The new licensing structure for UE really put it on the map for indies.
Doesn't help that its interface was an eyesore.
I don't even like UE4's UI, but with UE5 it's a non-issue.
I think Unity 4, right?
I tried both at the time and Unity wasn't even a question.
Yeah Unity went downhill about the time they switched to the subscription model
I wonder if most current unity indies even know unity started off as a browser plugin
wait what
subscription as in?
Unity 4 was the last version you could really buy and keep.
That's the other thing...
After that they pushed for per seat subscription very hard
Well it reflects their entire view of their customers
It's similar to the whole Diablo 3 Auction House fiasco
Just look at how the money flows
If your company makes more than $100,000 a month (I think that's the line?) a Plus or Pro subscription is required.
Otherwise your game is unsellable, and they will come after you for it.
Unity makes money if games go into development hell and have to ramp up staff
So you'd say Unreal is fun too?
They WANT it to take long to develop the game
Unreal Engine only makes money if your game makes money
At the very least Unreal just takes royalties.
% cut is fairly standard and reasonable.
Yes I like unbroken
They also waive the cut for EGS.
ah i see
The irony that's killing me is that now that Epic owns Mediatonic, Epic has published more Unity games than Unity.
That's a funny connection I hadn't made
I thought it was hilarious before because Epic bought out a game that was made using their competitor's technologies, but now that Chop Chop has been axed it has a very different kind of irony. 😔
epic could've sabotaged the competetor if it went rogue then 🤔
Something I honestly discussed was that Epic could potentially end up buying Unity.
I wouldn't want to see it given the fact that both of the leading game engines would be under the same branch, but in the short term, it'd be good for Unity users.
Minus the screaming and backlash.
that would've really changed stuff, kinda like epic gaining some monopoly
Pretty much, but hey, it would probably get cleaned up fast.
I don't really know who I want to see pick up Unity if it's needed.
The problem with this, is then the predatory business people end up integrating with the parent company and "poisoning the well"
better than being picked by malwares ig
To be clear I'm pretty sure it was more Unity acquiring ironSource... but that doesn't make it that much better.
That was a large sum of cash that should have gone to actual engine improvements.
I wonder how Flax Engine is doing, that seemed promising the last time I checked.
But we have... wait for it.... Godot 4 coming soon!
Yeah, it's a pretty small project but it does have a good looking renderer.
It also supports C#.
Godot 4 is definitely going to be amazing and solve all your development problems! /s
Don't be excited for GODOT 4, be excited for GODOT 4.1 😅
I was excited for Godot 3, then I learned...
at this point i don't think a completely new engine can compete with UE , it will atleast need 10+ years or something really niche
It's not about competition, it's about a good and viable option. That's what makes GODOT special.
It's really, REALLY hard to say no to an MIT license if it gets the job done.
yeah godot is kinda targetting a niche market i would say
For 2D games I honestly recommend GODOT these days.
For experienced devs, obviously.
The engine can be a heaping pile of garbage if it has source access and good tools.
if MS ditched c# there was probably a reason I'd imagine
For starting off I still say Unity is my favorite, though that subscription model is always the worst problem.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this, but the real advantage of C# scripting in Unity isn't even the language itself, it's the safety.
i thought ue and unity followed identical payment patterns, guess not
Nope. As someone else said Unity went full Adobe and goes on a subscription model.
ah
It used to be that they sold a Plus version of the engine that certain features are locked behind, now all versions are pretty much on parity but anyone making over a certain $/mo threshold has to pay for Plus/Pro.
Unreal takes a royalty cut, which is pretty standard.
Unreal Verse is going to finally fix this issue I have with UE.
I mean, Blueprints are pretty much doing that already.
You can call an array incorrectly without crashing, woo!
verse feels like it would have too many bugs to be useful at first and then it would have many gotchas or some key features missing for a while
Sure, it's not going to be a slam dunk out of the gates, pretty much the case with most UE5 features. I think it'll be great once you give it a year of time out in the open.
That's the thing with game engines, tools improve with time.
hopefully
Well, they're supposed to.
I just wish 5 wasn't so busted for VR
oh yeah, can nanite handle opacity now?
Where is WPO with Nanite on the roadmap?
it's getting somewhere!
Sweet
if it's fast enough with opacity mask, i am sure people will find clever uses
actually on second thoughts, opacity mask isn't absolutely needed if you can just make the geometry carve out the mask...
but hey, more options
and different usages
@chrome rampart
which is why i added "different usages" later :D !
praise me for forseeing such possible exceptions !!
Any suggestions for a beginner to Unreal but not a beginner to game dev?
these are what people share a lot here
if you haven't seen them already, do have a go!
another day another beer
Wow thanks!

Oh MJ died for a while because Daily dose of internet made a video about it and a bunch of people joined 😐
400k members, it's so unbelievably laggy there
discord really isn't meant for huge servers
I would imagine yeah
they get 2 internet points
Point A and point B?
Yeah, it lagged my Discord app as well just by looking at it
Yeah on mobile is unusable, it was overheating my phone
It's ridiculous, I'm going to call it quit
It does seem to be getting better now finally
It wasn't getting better on my end, even quitting the server is difficult
It would be better if they used their own website to handle the traffic, as opposed to piggybacking Discord
Midjourney piggybacking Discord piggybacking Chrome

can they please add a print function to Vectors. I'm so sick of typing out a UE_LOG and putting each XYZ just to see that it doesn't work
Hey Hi!, I used to try to get unity to work, but recently due to unity buying and partnering with a compeny know for its malware, I decided to find another engine, so, any tips on where to start with Unreal, my end goal is to make a soulslike (because I really like them and I wanted to make my own take on the games) and I know about the classic "don't start on the big project first" I just wanna make something that functions and go from there.
I can't download anything rn because I'm rending a video, so I'll just let this sit here for a bit.
goto learn.unrealengine.com and start there. Its moving soon so do it quick
why not just make the function yourself?
also you can simply add the vector and it will print it in a formatted view
no need to use each element seperate
that would be easy but eh it would be cooler if they officially did it
Oh that works with UE_LOG
not really. what if someone didn't want it in the class? Also there are varying log types and different settings for which get printed
yeah
Do I just do %v?
just add the vector variable and it prints as %f I believe
Yea I understand now
I sometimes make custom print function when I want specific data with appended strings and such. Keeps things neat for re-use
Yea that's what I have been doing but doing it for all 3 each time is kinda annoying lol
Yea I might make that and just have a copy and paste function
wheres it moving to
yeah just make it in a blueprint function library and its static so its good to call anywhere then
the new community hub
oh thats great!
try death of unity as games become evil ads --test just for no reason 😉
--test is the new cool kid in town

That's what you did with my pings too, didn't you 🥲
statistically how long should it take for there to be a good netflix video game series
Some bromance I see
When will fog come to path tracing?.
Castlevania already happened
They've also been harvesting player and developer data since about 2017, which apparently can't be disabled while using their free version. :/ Their popularity as "the alternative to big bad evil corp" displeases me. Hopefully this latest news wakes way more people up to their shenanigans.
that makes sense, you need stats for better marketing
Unity 🤮
in retrospect, Unity is a great name for a villainous corporation
"unity now merges with umbrella corp"
hehe, yea dodged that bullet (pun intended).
🤣 the brain can take us to some strange places while unconcious
yea, guess its because I drove trough my old neighborhood yesterday and remembered that there have been many murders/gun-related incidents there lately
wait, you got shot?
I dreamt I got shot in the chest and was slowly dying O_o
damn, lucky you survived
kinda sus
yea, --again-- glad I dodged that bullet
I post the worst ideas I get on discord.. on twitter
🤣 awesome
this man just keeps on giving https://www.pcgamer.com/unity-ceo-sparks-fury-by-saying-developers-who-dont-consider-monetization-are-fing-idiots/
"I’ve seen great games fail because they tuned their compulsion loop to two minutes when it should have been an hour,"
compulsion loop
Welp Unity aint getting a Ferrari deal any time soon
😮 he insulted us
According to their research, “performing an analysis related to a DARPA-funded project to evaluate the possible structure of the energy density present in a Casimir cavity, as predicted by the dynamical vacuum model, a structure has been discovered to micro/nanoscale that predicts a negative energy density distribution that closely matches the requirements of the Alcubierre metric .”
:O:O
why would he say something so confusing in an interview 🤔
it's a confusing topic? 😐
As if the merger announcement wasn't confusing to begin with
unity dead, long live unreal
It's ironic how Unity split up the diversity of opinion.
this was not related to unity though right? no idea where this came from
correct, that was related to an article about FTL travel
classic
oh hello Laura
it would be hilarious if it really was

why the fooooooooook does ubuntu not come with net-tools already installed ffs 😡
cause they you don't have the joy of installing everything yourself
as you have option to install other linux
i dont want to micro micro manage the system, just micro manage
have you thought about not using linux
old farts hoooo
just don't be old lol, easy
im aging ok i think, except the back surgery, depression, neuralgia, thyroid problems...
few weeks back a friend of a friend thought i was 27
is that good or bad
you lucky...................!!
im 12 years older than that
people used to think I'm always older than I was
I want to be 27 again!
but I'm catching back up
its the lack of hair dude, telling you, it takes years off you
since I was 21 people kept thinking I was 26, but now I'm 25 and people still think I'm 26
progress
oddly enough, the elderly indonesian lady-friends of my neighbor all guess my age correctly.
they use magic, im sure
either that, or the fact I cant adult correctly
even up until i gave up smoking 4 years ago, i would get asked for I.D .. was great, and embarrassing at the same time.
that too 😛
there is an outdoors?
do you wear protection?
yes I always go to the store with a condom on my head
I might be what you might call an expert at that
mmm choco spread!!
what's wrong with buying chocolate spread in the store
why you need subscription of everythign

My lactose intolerance has a strong opinion about that breakfast
taste the same ?
my breakfast-lunch is a sandwich with ham, salami, sambal, cheddar, and as a side: spinach, black berries, and strawberries/grapes.
ok luos wins the award for most complicated breakfast!
mine hat potatoes, sausage, bacon
breakfast-lunch!
Is it still a breakfast if I eat it at 8pm when I wake up 🤔
yes!
i often have "supper" at 10pm ish which is another bowl of honey nut cornflakes 🤣
Interesting... Interesting
I'm starting to see a pattern here
just eat when you're hungry boys
or fat
I usually when I wake up feel like crap and can't eat anything for a good hour or 2
my ex partner was like that
I have this when I sleep too little
she couldnt even look at food for a good 2-3 hours after waking
this is high effort
I do sleep usually around 7 hours
Anyways off to bed 💤
i always wondered how people measured intake, so they measure it... then.... do you multiply it with each ingredients calorie or something?
damn that's a lot of calories in that bread
gnight buddy
i should measure my intake
corona did not do my body good XD (as in: great excuse to not go to the gym)
life did not do my body good
damn you must be excercising, burning 2452 kcal is not easy
so it's just like stand by burning?
that looks kinda useful for simple items
FML 😦
"gentle breeze"
lol yeah red hot gentle bloody breeze !!
this has been belgium the last week
~30 degrees every day
am dying
yeah i saw france / belgium etx have had this first
I wanna hug 😦
lots of heat then big thunderstorm
yup, big thunderstorm to clear the air, cant wait
someone must be burning calories
I just go to the gym and then I get there and think, what am I going to do today
well thunderstorm can do damage, just one block lightning hit cellar sauna and burn it
yeah okay that is a lot of effort, but good to know there are health conscious people around. kinda inspiring!
if I would workout at home, I would end up doing nothing instead
i said during it here that now it hit close so that close it hit
i use my exercise bike at home, not allowed to use my normal bike yet until the surgeon clears me 😦
I wanna gett one when I move to bigger place, so I can do something while watching tv
but atm my living room is full enough
mine is reasonably basic, but i tend to do it in the garden in the summer, just keep it covered at night
im on 4 too haha
depends on the bike though Iguess
25-30km or 30 mins whichever i do first and im off that baby lol
you go 50km an hour sometimes?
i did before my accident, i got up to just over 60km i think it was around 63 and i just had had to literally crawl off the thing
you should become professional biker
although they ride for a bit longer than 30 min 😄
hahaha no way, after an hour i dont feel my ass for 2 days !!
Weaksauce
🤣
My bike is comfortable as fuck.
wait till you do 500km on it
my mountain bike is, but the exercise bike, not so much
I used to do biking holiday every year, doing ~40km a day so very managable
but after 4 days, your ass is just the concept of pain
Motorbikes are basically self balancing
yes ! exactly that
😮 shocking
i went down the calesthenics or however you spell it hole in yt once, they have a huge amount of excercises for home, and how to do gym type stuff with house like scenario,
though i guess it's more about the "i can quit anytime" at home which stops most people
i wanted to do engineering but i stuck to I.T instead
but i was in school when 386 was the fastest pc lol
😮
whoooo. wait, i think i already whoo-ed for this.
regardless: whooo
A very old type of processor.

The Intel 386, originally released as 80386 and later renamed i386, is a 32-bit microprocessor introduced in 1985. The first versions had 275,000 transistors and were the CPU of many workstations and high-end personal computers of the time. As the original implementation of the 32-bit extension of the 80286 architecture, the i386 instruction set...
i know luos, its not fair lol
oof expensive
thats quite the course, but you are gooing to love it !
I'm glad belgian higher education is so cheap
still have to pay it back though
the concept of student loans is so wild to me
looks reasonable
so you do this, emigrate when you need to pay it back 😉
Kinda glad I was born in time & place where University does not matter.
actually there's a lot of people that come to belgium to study, and then just leave immediately after
rip our tax money
believe it or not they didnt at first, but when so many people started doing it, they clamped down with re-entry payments when you came back to the U.K
Was I too young to know this
yes lol
oof
💸
I think my whole eduction like school + books + laptop were ~5k maybe
for a 3 year bachelor degree
the laptop alone being 2k 😄
5k 😮 dam
Why does this server not have anime emojies?

I need to pay for gifs cuz im on 4g
but you need nitro
What a scam
no! it will always be manny
But fembots
so if I spam gifs, you become poor?
oh god, dont you bloody start aswell lol
I don't think that's how internet connection works
It says if you use the gif keyboard it can cost more money
what do they mean by this
NGL I'm fascinated to retro tech because of retro tech YTer
This @proud jay
Retro tech ftw !! 😄
Ive tried it once and yed it costed money
Also look at my history xd
but if you press the + sign you can use discord gifs
Nope then i can send myfiles

Was it 8? lol...
I so bad wanted to play games on 3.11

Oh you mean stickers
There was this 3 vikings one
no gifs
i also remember trying to install NT4 . .. that was a clusterfuck
? I rlly don't have any other way
nah... skipped nt-whatever
win2000 wtf
I think they just mean the bandwidth is higher for gifs?
it was stable as hell, just had weird install process where you needed a disc
yes 2000 was so stable
Ive tried it and it costed moneylol
that is actually wild
I think there were few keys which were distributed over hundreds of ppl around here, back then.
Pretty nice

I suppose there are still some machines refusing to migrate.
yeah i was wondering that lol
1599,99$ to be exact
prolly the american military lol
who pays that much for a phone
me..lol
back when I bought my own phones I would always get some random ass android phone for 200-300 bucks
And I got my one for free, from our company 😛
🤣
now I just get a new iPhone from my job every 3 years
showoff
we can keep the old one 😎
my note 10 + 5g was about 1100 but thats on contract from o2, not a lump sum
I recycle by giving my old phone to family
i do that too
Xperia has been declining, so likely a 🧂 is necessary
we also get a new laptop every 4 years and keep the old one, pretty nice
Last time Xperia is good was early 2010s
this is when I had an xperia
good times
Used to have a windows phone as well back in the day
they were actually nice
only the third party apps were lacking
then it dropped out of my pocket and shattered 😭
he's making phones now too?
I had recollection having the one where the navigation touch panel is see through in the bottom
Will he even complete that though? 
they were making "premium phones" last time i checked, so costly ones like 1 grand stuff
their cars are so expensive though
a-as long as it works...?
I'd rather buy an SUV over CyberTruck
also good luck parking that thing in cities lol
not very useable outside of murica where the roads are 3km wide
SUV can fit a drum set
always wondered, it's kinda like a hobby now. but still useful at times, i have heard people who drive a lot say it is very liberating
If commutes are common place like Japan, then that'd be a consideration
public transport sucks ass in belgium
good luck getting anywhere
also expensive as shit
the train I used to take to school was 7 min of travel, cost 3 euros
is that good or bad
garbage ass public transport
luckily I know how to drive
and have company car, so can go everywhere I want for free 😎
so this is why avoiding the cones driving training is important, imagine if he was even a few meters off
If you ever planning on leaving big cities, knowing how to drive is very useful
like if I lived in Ghent or Antwerp and only needed to move within those cities, sure public transport could be useful
useful during emergencies and you are always in control, you don't need to wait on anyone or anything
you can suddenly decide to wait in a random place for no reason and it will still be good with your own car and own driving skills
not always applicable but you get what i mean
i have heard it's like anything else, eating or walking, you get used to it first then it's second nature
my brother had panic attacks when going over 50km/h
now he drives like a maniac though
yes, you forget mph exists
wait, company doesnt track your travel?
mph isn't a static distance unit tho
what if dieter is the boss 😮
explains how he is able to stay in #cpp in work hours
but i'd bet he procrastinating instead
no, we just have to enter mileage when putting in gas, but there's no hard cap
they might ask you to chill, but if you don't, there's nothing they can do about it
can only get free gas inside of belgium though
so no world travel
and this is how I decided to move into belgium
still depends on the company though 😄
but if you know c++ I can get you job easy though
no games though
i dont know C++ but i pretend to know, does that count
dieter IS the boss then!
It's swiss afaik
depends how good you are at pretending
as far as I know
yes, can you make an mmo in cpp by pretending to knows cpp with landscapes on tick?
Shoo to #cpp to learn
teach me
haha yeah of course I know enough to develop a game but I'm limited to UE framework, my std (or boost) is weak
asking so we can put the country in lockdown?
Currently at Turkey government wants me to serve compulsory military service at 2023, but I have a chance to delay it. So it'll depend on how much I can delay
If you visit Turkey and if any police asks for your ID you end up in military service for 6 months
Otherwise they'll probably just contact your family and notify you about the situation
But they wont chase you, it's not North Korea 😄
But I want to come back after studying university, if I ever can
Currently I just don't want military service thing to intervene with my plans
6 months
can you still pay your way out of this?
yeah
so what's the difference between doing the 6 months when they plan it, or doing the 6 months when you get back (too late)
are you a criminal then or somethign
I can but I want to spend that money for tuition instead
no, but you just end up in military at your late ages
which is bad
but you said you'd delay anway for your studies
so you can just go do your studies, go back after to do service
if I'm in Turkey, and somehow I couldnt succeed to delay, on regular ID checks system marks me as "someone needs to be in military but roaming around streets" 😄
it is wild that you can pay to not do service though lol
so I either need to delay or be outside of the country, so I'll serve after I came back
so it's only service for the poor
thanks to erd
this became something after 2018
I think finland also has compulsory military service no? @soft night
you heard the what happen on that russia hockey player?
new rookies started on this month
how long it is in Finland?
I think sweden also reintroduced conscription recently? or were planning to
6months to 360 days
When you are very close to Russia I guess 😄
Educated people 6 months and non educated people one year?
studied university when I mean educated
rich people 0 months 😎
well the more leader roles its longer
so people can rank up at compulsory service? 
@sand oxide btw you are not going to like what I'm going to say but compulsory service sometimes make sense lol
For example people self-trained theirselves at Ukraine before war started
It probably helped some people to survive
it is lowered now to max 347 days
no use in doing compulsory service in belgium, as soon as someone wants to destroy us we can't do shit
we're too small and have no budget lmao
ah ffs theyre making another Alien game
Belgium can only worry if Russia can come up to Berlin doors
at one point a few years ago, the entire military had something like 7 bullets left
The Finnish Defence Forces (Finnish: Puolustusvoimat, Swedish: Försvarsmakten) are the military of Finland. The Finnish Defence Forces consist of the Finnish Army, the Finnish Navy and the Finnish Air Force. In wartime the Finnish Border Guard (which is its own military unit in peacetime) becomes part of the Finnish Defence Forces.
Universal mal...
I just pray to god that NATO doesn't ditch us if we ever do get attacked
Nope they wont
dieter there is reason why Finland and Sweden have said to make NATO stronger when joining
not if but when is more likely
the thing that bothers me about NATO is that we rely very much on USA as well
if murica suddenly is like fuck these guys, it's gonna be a tough fight
just like the first 4 years of ww2 you mean ?
I don't think USA has the same interest to NATO since China becomes more threat to them each year
@proud jay would you like Belgium to be a part of France's "europe army" idea?
all my homies hate france
but some unified Europe shit would be nice
imo
I know a lot of people hate EU
I think EU needs to unify some more in order to mean something on the world stage
i think when shit hits the fan, which it inevitably will if putin stays on the war path, we got our asses covered
everything is dominated by USA and China mostly atm
like not become USA with states
but some more collaboration in general
i need some training to get from undersergeant to sergeant
ue5 is vs 2022 right ?
okies
wow, I just noticed google.com is blocked on our development terminals, but bing is not
nice
Bing supremacy
That style looked familiar... was it New Game?
new game mozuku anime
you can see it in the gif url
I didn't see it, but that's a guess lol
death note was good
ye although gotta say the ending sucked
haha yeah I rewatched it but didn't get through the last few episodes and gave up
like from the point where L died death note just took a big L
I didn't recall if Aoba ever had her hair loose in the show
I think you're missing the joke
lol ye i missed it
jojo was also a good anime, it sure was bizarre at some points
season 2 best jojo season change my mind
Also New Game is basically anime for game developers
season 3 was the best
it was
stands are better
jojo became way more popular when stands came
popular != good


no idea
