Do any of you c-folk use llvm? I've given it a decent shot and found it somewhat unusable. The compiling / linking works but debugging is a mess. Most of the vs code extensions either do nothing at all, or want lldb-mi which somehow got removed from the distro!? So, just build it right...

Vulkan lets you manage your own video memory. I haven't been able to do that since the days of 3dfx glide :D Pain in the ass to use otherwise though.

I'll miss the wacky britishness and Bren's odd random thoughts I wonder if the teams even have a build of the game yet?

All of the above, but I can't remember what that red thing was? Picture:

Mine was time sensitive, this being a thread about live streaming and all. The full story: A streaming group called the late shift organized a roleplay server for the game Eco. A big gaggle of streamers joined and hilarity ensued. The game's objectives were ignored and the world flooded a...

There's a huge opportunity in survival. Every single one that is out is filled with jank. Blizzard historically is very polished when it comes to interface, movement, feel. Do they still have the talent to make it? Survival is all about dealing with bad data for collision, pathing etc. Your...

2 small joined spherical chambers filled with pressurized hydrogen gas, 2 powerful bar magnets spinning very fast opposite in the center of each sphere. Tweak pressure, size of the chambers, length of the magnets, rpms of the magnets spin, and strength of the magnetic field. Eventually you...

Stig?

The meteor comes down in 30 min or so. It's been a really funny few weeks. They really managed to trash the world. Sea levels rose quite a bit. Hopefully someone will do a compilation of all the best moments. Right now they are doing some last minute weddings and such.

Just for fun and to try something new. I think I've had just about one of every combo now.

I was just looking at char creation and thinking about race / class / god combos. I was trying to figure out why they restricted Deity options so much, and it reminded me of creating a brand new character in D&D, where you are just arriving at adulthood and setting out on your own. Your Deity...

The magnet up / down stuff in the video was the smooshing :D I didn't know about that place but I'm thinking more stuff that would fit inside one of asml's lithography machines.

I'll be sure to tell it again next year. I'm old and senile and won't remember posting it, and all of you are also old and senile and won't remember reading it. I'll bet the guy went on to do great things though once he kicked his habit. He was a really good physics coder.

We've got some big brains on this board, so lets solve a little engineering problem: How to make xray / gamma ray lasers! Why should we do this? Because it will make it easier to make better chips! And we need more / cheaper gpus! So I'm thinking what we need is a way to attach a charge to...

I just woke up from a dream where someone said "Hey Harmon is back in EQ!". This necessitates story time: Harmon was a coworker, and like all coworkers he dabbled in everquest. I can't really remember if this was launch or beta days but the company we worked for collapsed and we all got the...

Yes, but it is just a feeling really. It feels vague and wavy and seems to follow q information rules. I'd love to be wrong though. I'm a big fan of the old ghost in the shell stuff.

I don't think consciousness will ever be transferrable to a different substrate. It looks to me like a quantum phenomenon. However memories might be doable, and that would be very useful. My ideal use case would be a during-sleep download of the day's memories in detail consolidating older...

The title reveals alot, though they could just throw it all out wheel of time style and just make shit up. The history of this time was deeply sad as most of the very best people died here. I don't necessarily mean big heroes or generals, just large numbers of high elves. The way I would do...

More throwback matches to tide us over:

Dwarf wizards! Iksar paladins! Gnome monks!

I really kind of do miss the old orgs like fnatic and rogue and envy and such. As cool as the live city events were the travel was brutal (and was supposed to get alot worse) and that first season blizz arena magic was so good. I think it has grown beyond the small teams though. Need those...

The overall spectacle of it all has gone way down true. I blame the rona. But there were some amazing matches this year. The level went up overall tremendously. Some of the stages were a turd stew of bad meta and bad hero pool but were still watchable. This coming year will solve that as...

Well, shit. I wonder how microsoft will handle the overwatch league?

I noticed even Unreal 5 needs and loads all assets for the map in memory. Maybe if you dug down into the guts you could fix that. All it should really need is the collision hull for server side line of sight checks and pathing and such.

The eco RP stuff has been really funny. Burke and Haley are running a continent and Gassy has his chive org. There has already been some fun drama. Dr. Gluon has a news crew roving about interviewing people. There are two newspapers that support one side or the other: Bikeman has started...

There was alot of mystery about chunking back in the day. Like what could they possibly be doing to make it this slow kind of mystery. I dug into it with performance tools (probably vtune, this was ages ago) and found that most of the time was compiling shader code. The post might be on this...

The late shift's eco adventures start tonight at some point. Should be really good. They made alot of custom mods for it, like cop profession and lockpicks and brewing.

Keggers! Does the elevator kill you? That would be classic.

VRChat board meetup when? :D

I told you bowl cuts were the best for esports. #1 is very close to one.

I greatly approve of this revival.

Mousey and Nyan doing elimination dating in half an hour or so:

BTW there are 3 of those bonus missions with Lamar. I thought it was over after the first one. My companion said they stole the idea for the 3rd from a cheech & chong movie :emoji_laughing:

There might be an Ironmouse / Nyanners elimination dating thing this week. That should be really good.

I'm very very late to this party. Oculus eventually forced my hand as they use some dodgy dns stuff that killed < 10 compat. Anyway, I hate it, and have been fighting it nonstop since I installed it. My main problem is that I use the active state of my OS as my "context". It's my memory. I...

Until I saw the picture, I just assumed this all happened in VRChat

Damn I think Soda got banned. It was very entertaining though. Oops no he didn't, vod is still there

Looks like it might be happening:

Vei is going to participate in roflgator's dating show thing with soda there as an advisor or something? That could get really funny. Ordinarily that would be around 6ish - 8ish hours from now but she's british so maybe they will do it earlier? I can't imagine those degens getting out of bed...

Losing is fun!
