I hadn't heard of it honestly. Which is really odd because before I started this foray into trying a 3d game I looked into a lot of different engines. Maybe I try something for the next game if there is one. I'd like to try something in Godot too, just thought in the interest of finishing something I'd be better off in Unreal for an FPS game. I've got somewhat of an idea for a 3D puzzle game I may try in Godot some time. As of now, if I have an idea while I'm working on this I put it in a notebook to try later so I don't get too distracted.
Blueprints are nice, but I've ended up doing a lot in C++ too. What I like is how they let you layer them, e.g. I made a C++ class for the weapon that does all the basic stuff, fires, etc. If I want to make some one off unique weapon? I can just override the actions in Blueprint to do whatever I want. I've heard it's bad on performance so I haven't used a ton of that for gameplay, but for a settings menu? That's not really enough to matter and it let me make menus and things in a tiny percent of the time versus learning how I need to interact with a text box in my code.
Yeah who knows. It's not the easy answer of "not liking kids" either. I mean I get annoyed by little kids, but doesn't everyone a bit? Screaming like an obnoxious brat is not ever cute. I'm a wizard with teenagers though, they generally all love me. I don't mean getting walked all over by them either.
Good luck! It can be fun to do. I liked Godot the little bit I messed around with it. I've been using Unreal Engine right now. The visual scripting has helped me through some places I'd roadblock in the past, boring things like programming the intro menu for example. I had an entire game written for Xbox 360 using XNA, but the menus and all that were just such a pain in the ass in that architecture that I never released it. It didn't help that it was not fun to play either. At all. I might try Godot again for another project if I actually finish this one.
I've been making an FPS now with mechanics I'd call "Doom 3" style, so a little more run and gun and no ADS, no snipers, no cover mechanic. Partly to limit the scope, partly because I like that style. Will it be a breakthrough in anything? Not a chance. At this point my goal is like a $20 game on Steam that isn't awful. I've got more done than I probably give myself credit for, just because all the little details will take ages to work out. It will probably be a bit generic because I'm not really interested in 3D modeling so I'm using free or purchased stuff. I don't think it will matter that much in the end, the lighting and atmosphere is the game, not whether or not I modeled the microscope on the counter or the wooden crate on the floor. If I had, it's still just a microscope on the counter and a wooden crate on the floor. Still, if 6mo to a year from now I have enough of a game that it seems realistic to release, I'll probably pay someone to model a main character and some of the bosses, the music, and the minuscule bit of voice acting I'd want.
I've pretty much given up on the women front. Although if I'm honest there wasn't a very long time I put a ton of effort in. I'm sure back in the day of a woman at home raising kids while I go to work, I'd have been in on that. I never wanted kids for most of my life and am still pretty indifferent on that now, so dealing with today's woman just doesn't offer me any positive value. For whatever reason like the whole dream of a wife and kids just wasn't really ever there for me for the most part anyway. Perhaps at times as I get older. I'm sure someone will say I've got some sort of social disorder or am on a spectrum or something. I don't care to know honestly; I don't need any crutches anyway.
Fun stuff? I mean I play games a ton. Watch TV a little. Read about in between those two. That's just day to day stuff. I don't want to spend every evening out doing something. Otherwise? Alone stuff I work on my house, wrench on cars, some hiking, I've been working on game dev, etc. I game online some with one of my cousin's kids 2-3 times a week, occasionally my nephew, and less occasionally some friends. I'll do something more involved with friends once or twice a month. We will go camping, well sort of, it's RV camping and sometimes I just go hang out for the day (no RV myself). Occasional golf game with friends. Don't think I'm some amazing golfer either, they'd probably make videos of me on how not to play golf. I don't really do clubs and bars, but I will on rare occasion also with friends. I go visit my brother a couple times a year, my dad a couple times a year, and my mom and cousins another couple times a year. After all this I'm tired and out of time anyway, so while it doesn't seem like much it's more than enough for me.
LGBTQ Christians
Well that's an oxymoron. So he's saying something that doesn't exist is welcome?
Among the allegations is the claim that Lizzo — who has consistently promoted her own obesity as beautiful and a form of empowerment — fat-shamed one of the dancers after she gained weight.
It's like the kings of yore where they wanted to be fat as a sign of their riches. She can't have the peasants dare to try to match the queen whale.
Every time I see leftists discuss charities if there's enough discussion there will be a sidebar on the awfulness that is a Christian charity. They can't deal with the fact those horrible Christians would just do something for someone else, or that they might want to tell them about what makes them want to do a nice thing.
So, if it's a Christian charity, that's why they aren't, and those can be some of the largest charities in many areas.
- I believe in child mutilation
- That black people should get free shit and suffer no consequences despite never being slaves
- That we should divert tax money to corrupt politicians to fix a problem that we've silenced any dissent to
- That more of this tax money should also go to corrupt politicians to make healthcare worse
- That we should let any people that aren't white into America for any reason without any qualification no matter what effects there are to the people that already live there
- That it is good for a white person to be randomly attacked by someone of another color who is definitely not racist no matter what
- I don't think that's radical, but if you disagree with me you should be gathered up and put in a concentration camp for "reeducation"
The best amateur cook I know is a man who drives a pickup truck. Real men do not shy away from necessary tasks because they think it's for women. They do however outsource tasks like cooking to women, for example as part of raising a family.
Lefties hate trucks because they are so urban they have never done anything that might benefit from the use of one. I don't currently have a truck, but I have and I often used the utility of it for anything from something for my house to haul a bunch of skis and stuff with friends. The only thing I didn't love is they are just so unnecessarily huge now. If I get another truck I want a smaller one so it's not such a pain in the ass for day to day use.
Didn't see whatever designs, but progressive design is usually shit. They think that art is something you learn at a university.
When did "employee resource groups" become a thing? I assume goes along with leftist takeovers? It reminds me of high school. I don't want a white guy club at work any more than the faggotry gym or whatever. Let me trade the resource of my time and knowledge for the resource of your money without it being too much of a pain in the ass. That's all I ask of a workplace.
So much for rejecting the stereotype that blacks will bang anything with a pulse.
Still works for me on Linux, but not Windows.
GTA V definitely came out on PS3/360 because I specifically remember playing it on my 360.
I'm not sure from a business perspective they need to release a new one though. I think the old one still prints money for them. Besides I think the next one is going to have a lesbian main character.
I've had contractors want to be sure my wife (I don't have one) was going to be there before. At one point I thought it was just to CYA them from changes later, but if I remember correctly every one of those that shows up has tried some elaborate sales pitch, so I think they wanted to play off that.
I could still imagine it's a good idea to get everyone who owns the house's approval first. Especially if they don't pay anything in advance. Most of the companies around here have made me pay 25-50% upfront for more expensive projects.
So wait, was this lefty catching on to the truth?
I don't believe in asking for bans generally, but I've been self banning those posts lately by just ignoring them. Maybe there's something useful in them, but the first few I looked at were full of one and two sentence back and forth. I deduce most of that type of discussion to same value as sibling bickering like "Mom, he's touching me!," "No he's touching me!" So, it's just not worth the time.
Too worried about their lesbianiam or whatever I assume rather than being any good.
I hope they got beaten by a men's team posing as women.
I've often adjusted that type of advice to something more like "find something someone is willing to pay for," but I do like to consider trades too because it's forgotten or looked down on in the land of everyone go to college. If you're throwing money at college, make damn sure it's not in some wasted shit like an English degree. I told a friend's kid if he insisted to going to college even with no idea of what he wanted to do, at the very least just get a business degree, because he's going to work for a business and it checks a box for those that require it.
I'm much more anti big university and anti student loans than I am no college at all. I saved a shit ton of money on my degree because I had an unlimited free tuition scholarship to a community college so I took every single thing I could there and transferred it. The university advisors hated it, but I was following the rules and as long as you check all the boxes to get the degree they can't do shit about it. Even if I hadn't had the scholarship the money savings would be immense. I worked full time and paid the tuition myself. It was a six year grind. Lived with my parents a lot of that time, so the choices were to go to the college in town or not go at all. There was no going off to the "college experience" where I drank my liver out. I was way too damn busy anyway.
What did it get though? Well I got an engineering degree that was paid for the day it was awarded to me. That's really what I think the end goal should be. If you aren't going to one of a few specialized things like doctor or lawyer where you need an advanced degree and are all but guaranteed a big payday, don't even consider anything other than the goal of a paid off paper with whatever degree or qualification the day you are doing. Can't do that? Go slower. There was zero chance of me drowning in debt from my degree and can't get hired because, well, I didn't owe anything for it. I bought a house at age 25 instead. That small cheap house turned into a check to me for a bit over $60k 6 years later when I sold it and bought something else. The degree bought me a foot in a door. I don't really use it that much. I think that's common though.
I'm trying to think of examples, are you talking about things like Moby Dick, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and such I assume? I read an absolute ton as a kid 30 years ago and while I read a lot of that stuff, I can't think of much like that I read that even came out in my own era. Some Star Wars books maybe, does that count?
My oldest nephew reads quite a bit. I'm not sure what we will read when he moves out of like elementary school age books. Manga wouldn't surprise me. I can't see him reading old adventure stuff. I can also say if he was allowed to use his iPad whenever he wanted he'd never leave it alone and never read anything that wasn't on it's screen. So take away the parental control and he wouldn't read a thing, and to me it looks like parents being parents is not all that common anymore.
I think it's because it's in a lot of case a social activity and perhaps more so it's so easily replaceable. No one knows if you use Gillette products generally. Go out and want a soda? You don't really get a ton of choice most of the time. Dr. Pepper I guess. Want a beer? Pretty much any drinking establishment you see is going to have multiple varieties of pisswater and even multiple varieties of light pisswater. Then you sit and drink it with other people.
People do not want to enjoy their beer with a debate.
Well good luck selling Bud Light. With anything but a homogeneous crowd of woke sheep or I guess sitting around by yourself, buying a Bud Light comes with a debate included as standard.
Looks like someone that will demand we lockdown to stop racism or something.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Hmm....apparently according to Thomas Jefferson it's my duty to overthrow the government.
Just another dindu getting away with whatever the hell they want.
Or, everyone could quit fucking anything and everything that moves.
