so my covid went from a headache to this dumb cough and it slightly hurts, fun!
this is the worst don't get it
1/5
apparently the new variant that's currently spreading tends to mostly cause symptoms like those
I saw some statistics that a bit under 20% of responders in the UK had even reported fever
oof
apparently it's less likely to cause serious respiratory issues than before but it can still be dangerous esp if unvaxed
good to know zomg thx
RIP my athletic aspirations
My grand plan was to become the last person to not catch it, thereby becoming the greatest athlete in the world on account of an un-damaged respiratory system. No longer shall I aspire π¦
lol
I have no idea if I've had it
I was pretty sick for a week with high fever at one point, but my home test was negative so it could have been seasonal flu or something which is sometimes harsh
GF worked on a test, they're typically more likely to read a false positive than a negative. False negatives have stricter tolerances, since they are way more disruptive
Yeah assuming it tended to cause coughing I'm kinda thinking it was something else cause it really had almost no kinda respiratory symptoms and just ran a high fever for a while :P
Yeah that makes sense
I just don't know if I stuck it deep enough in my nose lol
Yeah despite the vogueness of COVID, plain old flu is still around haha. Barely, much less so than before but still.
It's pretty easy to fuck up. I messed one up just before and I could feel how disappointed she was hahaha
Yeah it's like.. it's still uncomfortably deep even if it's not as ridiculously deep as the ones they do at the nurse administered ones lol
You have to feel like you're tickling your brain, is a good threshold apparently. Some tests have safety mechanisms, IE will error out if it doesn't detect enough 'biomatter' on the swab tip
well can u stop
lol
Back when COVID was in beta (March 2020?) we had a lil scare, and she decided to convince me the test was a rectal swab. By the end of the test, I was crying and almost wishing that were the case lol
haha
I dunno it wasn't that bad when I had it done once by a nurse
My nose was itchy for a few hours after it but that's mostly it
me circa 2019
It was like an instant reaction for me, as soon as it tickled my brain my eyes just started leaking, and didn't stop for a few minutes after. I still get bullied about it
But then she's also surprised boys don't show emotion, while bullying the one time I was tender and soft OwO
lol
if you want to be bullied i can give it a try! though i have been told i am very terrible at it
let's see it
also whoever is sick, hope you get well soon ! π
i scrolled up but couldn't trace it to who
@sand oxide
see what π
My partner already does a few people's worth of bullying TBH, but have at it, I'm desensitised now
bullying
Don't you just love when you change four lines of code, and spend 3 hours trying to re-create things only to have your character do this
no well,
@noble plaza
i didn't think you guys would ask for it π
Come back and first thing I see is rectal swab
Abusive relationships are never good. "Desensitised" or not.
same
must be our fate
2nd thing i see was AU
If it was abusive I'd have ducked a long time ago. We've got a particular sense of humour
quite the coincidence
If you say so.
aww he looks like he is having fun !
hey now !
you don't even use me as a swab!
i am guessing it's mild bullying, like just picking fun
Hmm now that's an image
If non-consensual, I'd imagine it'd be abuse for sure. Domestic.
no you are forever stuck with me, i will stay in this ue community forever!!!
π»
one good reason to switch to unity
time to join the unity server !
alright, godot it is
i just have to join a server
you have to learn the engine / framework / library
trust me it's not worth it
a wise man once said, "a hug a day keeps aU away" where you are supposed to hug aU
Godot feels great for game jams, quicc reloads
try that
Keeps you 1 AU away?
as in Australia?
Astronomical Unit (distance between Earth and Sun)
I approve of Australia as a distance unit (on Earth)
quick downloads and build too i assume
that's crazy far apart π
Caught Maple Firefoxing, getting closer and closer to the logo shot
Firegrapes
wanna eat some ? i haave some ! say AAAA
No I only eat microwaved grapes, thanks
(pls don't actually)
2 grapes in a microwave, to make plasma?
I chuck them in in batches, saves time and nets me more at a time π
Sometimes I also add in a CD or a DVD for added flavour. Haven't been bougie enough to try a BluRay yet
A bisected grape in the microwave makes plasma. But how does it work? A grape is the right size and refractive index to trap microwaves inside it. When you place two (or two halves) close together the fields interact with each other creating a maximum of electromagnetic energy where they touch. This creates heating, sparks, and plasma, which is ...
have you ever drank microwaved Monster? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/143116249642172416/997568433258508348/IMG_20220715_185343.jpg
(look at the text on the sticker on them lol)
Yeah I've tried it, but I was a bit too smart for my own good and had them in a concave bowl, so they made constant contact with each other lol
It's also a "meal deal" lol
Can't get hungry if you're on fucktons of caffeine
What? It's a legit question.
Did you miss the other weed one?
You can activate the active ingredient in weed in a process called... decarboxylation
activate the active ingredients?
It's done as a pre-requisite to making brownies and the likes. I think it's normally in an oven though, not in a microwave
Yeah haha, different uses of the word active though
isn't heat rather something you would avoid but for recipes it's kind of "worth" it
I don't smoke herb, but I think heat dries out the plant, making it bad to smoke.
Heat for cooking is to sort of emulate what smoking does - releasing the oils or whatever, which then is used in your brownies or tea
High people can't cook 2 minute noodles without burning shit. Don't think I trust them torching plants on a kitchen bench haha
it takes 4 minutes to cook 2 minute noodles
Same way dollar stores in AU start at like $2 at least
that's why you do it outside
they should call em 119 second noodles
I bet they would sell far better than 2 minute noodles
Nah, 119 > 2, so much slower m8
i am something of a microwave myself
You beep when people touch you?
i beep if they don't, and they have to do it to keep me quiet
come on beep beep
your grapes are ready
you should have them while they are still hot
Sounds like one of these... bit sketchy no tyty

https://www.twitch.tv/unrealengine live now with Introduction about CommonUI
can't wait for rare Ui!
you should have spoke up if you wanted rare UI, pretty sure it's nearly well done by now
personally I prefer medium-rare
hilarious
Adobe and open source? 
Adobe are the only premier members π₯
They only open the source of others.
im a raw guy
raw ui with some imgui on top
Im old school, I use a white out marker on my screen
i can be your screen !
there we go, thats better
How cool is that, its tried to generate a tag
I think it says grape π
nft I bet
A lot of grape around is green/yellowish tho.
thats whats in the bowl in my profile pic
can i be there too?
LegendaryUI is where its at.
aww thought you said secret rave
MythicalUI beats that! Or maybe CelestialUI...
Super Super Rare UI
Even we have to gacha for UI
Gachi UI 
Gachui?
Does anyone know 2 genres that dont go together usually?
opera and jazz
Country and good
Nah I reckon opera and electronic would slap, but can't think of any attempts in particular
Prog rock and dance/pop, though I think that's more divisive than "not go together"
You can mash up genres if you're creative enough
cough
Doom RPG
Yes, it's a turn based FPS RPG
It was for Java phones tho
They're decent spinoffs IMO
I open lounge and now people talking about turn based FPS games
this is worse than anything
Game idea is fricking boring
turn based fps... if you have a turn clock like speed chess...
This singlehandedly ruined the mood
I just realized Musohoku Tensei thing (still cant prononunce its name
) had s2
Probably wasnt this season's product but it distracted me well
Sounds like VOLA, who I've been binging the shit out of. It's like Aqua meets extreme metal, good shit.

Ah, gotta check it out after my rhythm game run
@ionic flame are you in the|| that cool place you mentioned in DMs a while ago||?
They're definitely more prog metal than rock though. New albums spend less time on the heavy instrumentals, but when they do it's fucking crunchy.
Well, I enjoy some Dream Theater, not liking Djent as much tho
Could never get into DT, and I love prog metal haha. DT is so wacky every song sounds like the same thing.
I prefer groove, or heavier instrumental mastery (Meshuggah, Vildhjarta, etc)
Is GH3 the one with DragonForce too?
Haha I remember demolishing a friend on that one, on my first time trying Guitar Hero. Having actual guitar endurance and timing helps apparently, he was just spamming the picking thing off-beat
I still don't get how that game works, but it's got such good game f e e l
Dopamine?
Or Serotonin
Still, TTFAF is an endurance test, haven't nailed the drums yet
At that time I was playing lots of black metal so my right hand was a gun haha
Took a break and now I've lost a lot of endurance π¦
Join the Game Directors of The Last of Us Part I for a deep dive into how the team went in and rebuilt the game from the ground up, including Dualsense integration and more. The Last of Us Part I launches on PlayStation 5 on September 2, 2022. The game is currently in development for PC.

Still lasting...
The technical stuff looks good, but there'd be other ND games that needs remake more.
e.g. Uncharted 1 aged rather poorly
it wasn't that good to begin with really. 2 + 3 were excellent tho
Where do yβall put your finished games If you are just a casual developer not looking for profit yet. Until i figure out how to put my game on mobile like the appstore iβve been just packaging for windows and dropping a download link all over the place. Is there maybe a website made for casual game devs etc
ItchIO sounds like your best bet.
Itch is great for indie devs, not so great for actual business.
The best way I can describe Itch is that it's a game design file-share social media platform. You make your page, upload games as you make them, and design a developer page and game pages. Then you follow your favorite devs and get notified when they upload.

That beetroots, sorry.
its the year
2076
unreal 7 is out
we now use dds textures with a resolution of 64K
all levels are now fully rendered in voxels by default
we no longer need monitors... instead we use 3d holograms at resolutions of 65K
can it render grapes though?
grapes is an alternative to voxel
it uses a special afterbirth shader to apply other colors then lila
and a special anti aliasing technique call TXBFHEIUJBFIBGWERXX32
it sends the image into the future where it is being compiled
that means your computer calculates the render in the future
so in the present you dont have to
nono
this renderer knows about your camera angles already
from the future
it just sends back the calculated results
also pcs are no longer powered by electricity
we now use argent energy
oh and tim sweeney converted himself into a VR world
where he can live forever
Who are you again?
C++mp1ler duh
they're making clash of clans like game but with blockchain technology
you know the kind
or at least trolling to be
oh god.
Is that kidneys above? π€
Supposed to be grapes π
Wasnt VR NFT MMO ?

FDateTime::Now() in c++
thnx
