Australia!

timber viper
#

oh lol

#

I still cant forget about spiders in Australia

#

Only reason I will never visit there

noble plaza
#

The second most Greek populated city after WWII was in Australia, for a while, fun fact

celest musk
#

they also dont forget about you 😄

timber viper
noble plaza
#

I barely ever see a spider. When I do, I get my partner to uh, 'deal with them'

celest musk
timber viper
noble plaza
#

Gotta be wary, but I've survived so far 💪

timber viper
#

because of Japan ambitions

#

Most of them migrated to Syria and Turkey afaik

deep copper
noble plaza
#

@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)

timber viper
#

Interesting

#

Well at least they were safe there

#

Well, maybe a little bit not safe because of spiders

noble plaza
#

Greatest dangers in Australia are drop bears and rugby mums with oversized SUVs

and that bird they went to war with

Yeah, in October Overwatch 1 becomes unplayable.

#

What the fuck is this shit

timber viper
deep copper
#

guess it's not always accurate

noble plaza
#

OH - may be a NOT operato

deep copper
#

that might be so 🤔

#

if it's for programmers i expect some fancier syntaxes for search

#

though google also has it

timber viper
noble plaza
#

IDK the web page just feels like it has way too much going on for my taste

deep copper
noble plaza
#

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

noble plaza
#

Cults do typically revolve around one person

noble plaza
#

She's just programming us with her musical notes and coroutines

deep copper
#

laura has gained too much influence, it got more powerful after the second coming

#

but anyway i did look into C# vs c++ articles, c# seems more simpler for me

noble plaza
#

My favourite thing is when she just flexes her BDE by replying to questions with just a "no"

#

Yeah it looks like it's old new. Crazy stuff

#

They lay off a large amount of their engineers and now this?

noble plaza
#

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

deep copper
#

BDE sounds like some bios setting to me

noble plaza
#

Then they try to install 15 different things in VS and go back to Unity quickly lol

#

I don't wanna get hammered hey

#

Good thing UE has been making great strides on improving their documentation and learning hub right?

#

Will pave the way for the refugees!

deep copper
#

like shutting off their learning portal thingy?

#

or whatever that was

noble plaza
#

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

deep copper
#

it's time they specialised i guess !!

noble plaza
#

"Welcome to Unreal. You can read source. Which is great, because the source is the docs, and the docs are a lie."

deep copper
#

it probably means something sk0g can't recall rn!

proud jay
#

I am in the know now

noble plaza
#

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

timber viper
#

I realized Epic is just not aware of peoples complaints

#

IDE good though, tyty

timber viper
#

isnt there a file locker for git though why did you promised-not-promised that

deep copper
#

kinda like stuff that builds on the other i suppose

timber viper
#

even for LFS

noble plaza
#

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

timber viper
#

without LFS can you even push big files

#

why LFS is a thing then

noble plaza
#

RD good. VS bad. g'nite

timber viper
#

fair

noble plaza
#
  • 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

fleet tangle
#

I mean, he's not wrong.

#

You should think about how to monetise your product.

noble plaza
#

If I was doing it for the money, I wouldn't 🙂

fleet tangle
#

How you do that is usually the bad part.

timber viper

Publishers are a thing

#

I like to delude myself that merit has meaning

mystic moth
#

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.

foggy path
#

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.

mystic moth
#

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.

foggy path
#

Especially in context of the games industry which has been under fire for all the bro stuff and such

mystic moth
#

He should be smarter about this kind of thing, he worked for EA for God's sakes.

deep copper
#

he maybe said it mid interview and they put that as headline

mystic moth
#

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...

foggy path
#

Like there's a literal hundred ways you could phrase what he said in a funny way

night grove
#

Thousands!

foggy path
#

Like... instead of fucking idiots just call them real bingabongos or something

mystic moth
#

"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.

foggy path
#

Yeah

deep copper
#

maybe he forgot or got too excited

mystic moth
#

What is more important than anything... is that you do not give them a complete sentence.

night grove
#

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.

mystic moth
#

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.;

foggy path
#

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

mystic moth
#

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.

deep copper
#

i wonder if he regrets or, doesn't since it's more free advertisement

mystic moth
#

And let me tell you, Unity's stocks are doing badly enough as is.

foggy path
#

It really doesn't matter, you don't just go and call people fucking idiots for shits and giggles in an interview

mystic moth
#

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.

foggy path
#

Yeah

mystic moth
#

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.

deep copper
#

not very united is it

night grove
#

Lots of us Unity refugees here

mystic moth
#

And let me tell you, I still prefer Unity tenfold.

night grove
#

At least we have coroutines now!

#

There's the notes I was missing!

#

I'm not cool enough to have the codes memorized

mystic moth
#

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.

night grove
mystic moth
night grove
#

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

mystic moth
#

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.

deep copper
#

i can see why CE was fond of that sad face now, you can add it to literally 90% messages here

calm cargo
#

mono still broken?

#

Yeah I didn't like Unity when I used it, I thought it was just because of personal preference.

mystic moth
#

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.

night grove
mystic moth
#

I mean, basic drop downs not working in the Inspector? Really?

night grove
#

And that UE neglects VR as a result

mystic moth
#

It took them a whole year to fix serialized structs so that the first editable element didn't overlap with the second.

deep copper
#

it really sounds like they started off good then neglected the whole thing

mystic moth
#

I know Unreal has plenty of its own issues, but Unity is stagnating and I hate seeing this amazing tech sink for stupid reasons.

night grove
mystic moth
#

Like, really, there's an abundance of reasons as to why indie games prefer it to Unreal 90% of the time (made up number).

night grove
#

But now business people are screwing it all up

mystic moth
#

Fortnite sent UE4 lightyears ahead of where it was before.

deep copper
#

yeah i recall in 2016 or something unity was on equal footing if not ahead of ue

night grove
#

This too. When Unity took off, UE was NOT in the cards for indies.

mystic moth
#

There's a very clear before and after all that windfall cash.

#

UDK was a bad joke.

night grove
#

The new licensing structure for UE really put it on the map for indies.

mystic moth
#

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.

night grove
#

Yeah Unity went downhill about the time they switched to the subscription model

foggy path
#

I wonder if most current unity indies even know unity started off as a browser plugin

deep copper
#

subscription as in?

mystic moth
#

Yeah, itch.io still supports those games too.

night grove
#

Unity 4 was the last version you could really buy and keep.

mystic moth
#

That's the other thing...

night grove
#

After that they pushed for per seat subscription very hard

mystic moth
#

I hate Unity's subscription model.

#

Unreal's is so much better, no question.

night grove
#

Well it reflects their entire view of their customers

deep copper
#

no "after you publish games" or anything?

#

did it went autodesk/adobe?

night grove
#

It's similar to the whole Diablo 3 Auction House fiasco

#

Just look at how the money flows

mystic moth
#

Otherwise your game is unsellable, and they will come after you for it.

night grove
#

Unity makes money if games go into development hell and have to ramp up staff

calm cargo
#

So you'd say Unreal is fun too?

night grove
#

They WANT it to take long to develop the game

#

Unreal Engine only makes money if your game makes money

mystic moth
#

% cut is fairly standard and reasonable.

calm cargo
#

Yes I like unbroken

mystic moth
#

They also waive the cut for EGS.

mystic moth
#

The irony that's killing me is that now that Epic owns Mediatonic, Epic has published more Unity games than Unity.

night grove
mystic moth
#

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. 😔

deep copper
#

epic could've sabotaged the competetor if it went rogue then 🤔

mystic moth
#

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.

deep copper
#

that would've really changed stuff, kinda like epic gaining some monopoly

mystic moth
#

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.

night grove
deep copper
#

better than being picked by malwares ig

mystic moth
#

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.

night grove
#

But we have... wait for it.... Godot 4 coming soon!

mystic moth
#

Yeah, it's a pretty small project but it does have a good looking renderer.

#

It also supports C#.

night grove
#

Godot 4 is definitely going to be amazing and solve all your development problems! /s

mystic moth
#

Don't be excited for GODOT 4, be excited for GODOT 4.1 😅

night grove
#

I was excited for Godot 3, then I learned...

deep copper
#

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

mystic moth
#

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.

deep copper
#

yeah godot is kinda targetting a niche market i would say

mystic moth
#

For 2D games I honestly recommend GODOT these days.

#

For experienced devs, obviously.

regal pecan
#

The engine can be a heaping pile of garbage if it has source access and good tools.

calm cargo
#

if MS ditched c# there was probably a reason I'd imagine

mystic moth
#

For starting off I still say Unity is my favorite, though that subscription model is always the worst problem.

mystic moth
deep copper
#

i thought ue and unity followed identical payment patterns, guess not

mystic moth
calm cargo
#

ah

mystic moth
#

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!

deep copper
#

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

mystic moth
#

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.

deep copper
#

hopefully

mystic moth
#

Well, they're supposed to.

night grove
#

I just wish 5 wasn't so busted for VR

#

oh yeah, can nanite handle opacity now?

night grove
#

Where is WPO with Nanite on the roadmap?

deep copper
#

it's getting somewhere!

night grove
#

Sweet

deep copper
#

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

timid ruin
#

@chrome rampart

deep copper
#

which is why i added "different usages" later :D !

#

praise me for forseeing such possible exceptions !!

calm cargo
#

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!

#

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.

fathom wadi
fathom wadi
#

also you can simply add the vector and it will print it in a formatted view

#

no need to use each element seperate

weak radish
#

that would be easy but eh it would be cooler if they officially did it

weak radish
fathom wadi
#

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

weak radish
#

Do I just do %v?

fathom wadi
#

just add the vector variable and it prints as %f I believe

fathom wadi
#

I sometimes make custom print function when I want specific data with appended strings and such. Keeps things neat for re-use

weak radish
weak radish
fathom wadi
#

yeah just make it in a blueprint function library and its static so its good to call anywhere then

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.

I can't do at home, just can't make the click from chill mode to workout

garbage ass public transport

luckily I know how to drive

and have company car, so can go everywhere I want for free 😎

deep copper
proud jay

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

deep copper
#

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

so when you going to the netherlands?

deep glen

asking so we can put the country in lockdown?

timber viper
proud jay
#

do you plan on going back to Turkey?

#

if not, what do they do if you just run away lol

timber viper
#

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

proud jay
#

how long is military service?

#

6 months?

timber viper
#

6 months

deep glen
timber viper
#

yeah

proud jay
#

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

timber viper
timber viper
#

which is bad

proud jay
#

but you said you'd delay anway for your studies

#

so you can just go do your studies, go back after to do service

proud jay
#

even if it's not delayed

#

or stay in NL until you can pay the fee to not do service

timber viper
#

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" 😄

soft night
proud jay
#

it is wild that you can pay to not do service though lol

timber viper
#

so I either need to delay or be outside of the country, so I'll serve after I came back

proud jay
#

so it's only service for the poor

timber viper
#

exactly

#

it should be for everyone or never

proud jay
#

yeah this is a strange system

#

happy to not be turkish

#

not in a racist way

this became something after 2018

I think sweden also reintroduced conscription recently? or were planning to

6months to 360 days

studied university when I mean educated

nah rich people do 21 days training on Turkey 🤣

#

then go home after 0.66 months

soft night
#

well the more leader roles its longer

timber viper
#

@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

soft night
#

it is lowered now to max 347 days

proud jay

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

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.

ancient ingot

not if but when is more likely

proud jay

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

ancient ingot
#

just like the first 4 years of ww2 you mean ?

timber viper

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?

proud jay

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
