@vivigrot @babekyukare It won't lower the price of games, just increase profits of developers. Whilst not necessarily a bad thing, it certainly isn't going to do much for the consumer
English
@babekyukare What?
It would force steam to match the lower revenue cuts of other storefronts like epic.
This is good for gamers. Lower game prices.
English
Valve is a "monopoly", because the users are genuinely satisfied with Steam and its sale offerings. Maybe other companies should take an example from Valve and not to be a bitch.

Consumer Competition Claims (CCC), through GameClaim, has launched a new class action against Valve in the Netherlands. The group claims Valve controls around 85% of the PC game market and uses rules that make it harder for developers to sell games cheaper on other stores. It also argues that Steam’s 30% cut on game sales is too high and shows anti-competitive behaviour. According to CCC, Dutch gamers have paid more than they should due to these practices, with total damages estimated at over €220 million since 2013.. The group says it will first try to reach a settlement with Valve. If that fails, the case could go to court and may take several years to resolve.

@EckertAnthony @AnonSidious @SlipperyJohn76 @Pirat_Nation No one is arguing that it's not a monopoly though

@Pirat_Nation Valve has been getting hit with a lot of lawsuits recently...

@DreamMixGames AI is amazing at the small lessons stuff. Working on a small app to make it quicker for me to make tutorials, never used Avalonia UI so asking how to do things and getting good answers is great, what would take me weeks has taken me days

@Botan_cr Bruh, this tech existed since the PS2 as far as I remember

Fortnite Season 3で地味に凄いのが水表現。UE5の流体シミュレーションやNiagaraを活用し、水面の波や飛沫、オブジェクトとの相互作用をリアルタイムで再現。もはや水の描写だけ見ても次世代ゲームの基準が変わりつつある。#ue5

@paumarin96_ @meshcollective_ Because you have distance and materials have access to time, you can animate effects across the entire field
English
Watching the jump fields update as I move around is kinda mesmerizing
Using compute shaders, custom stencil and a scene view extension

@caseyjab360 @Zarbalos0921 @tmo_melonmaster @Pirat_Nation Pretty sure she said that it's like a disability in terms of restrictiveness for being able to play games, not actually like a disability. Unless you're a trash parent then it's fine, ignore the hungry, crying 2 year old

Alanah Pearce has confirmed that God of War: Laufey is the project she worked on during her time at Sony Santa Monica Studio.
“So here’s the God of War game I spent four years writing.”
Now it all makes sense.
English
@hicasamadim I would say it has multiple answers, only ones I can see are either 8 or 4. 8 is purely just removing the lines from the top, doing the same for the numbers, 4 for horizontal lines x vertical lines or how many intersections there are
English
@ahmadierfan999 Also it's faster to work with the squared versions and only use sqrt at the end
English
Do you use doubles? DON'T USE `sqrt` or `length` in HLSL!
Be super careful if your application relies on numerically stable calculations with doubles(fp64) like us.
HLSL/DXC implicitly casts fp64 to/from fp32 on `sqrt` and `length`; It makes error propagation worse and cause unexpected numerical issues.
That's another reason we prefer to use SPIR-V intrinics in HLSL and bypass HLSL functions. (IIRC SPIR-V extended instructions support float64 sqrt given Float64 Capability)

@MustacheBob2 Apparently no burn through for flight 12 so that would mean that the heat shield officially works and obviously they have all exploded, it has literally been expected for all of them, as in, land in the ocean and explode
English
They all exploded. The heat shield still doesn't work. By this same time the Apollo program had put a human on the moon.

@SenhorZiborro No network? Do neither laptops have wifi adapters? Windows has a wireless ad hoc network option, or it did and that allows connecting directly to another computer via wifi

@Grummz We have neural texture compression on the GPU, I wonder if that could be applied somehow to baked lighting
English
Modern Unreal Engine vs what we used to have.
Lumen is noisier and slower.
Baked lighting meant gigabytes to download.
Which would you choose? Would you trade 100gb of baked lighting for FPS in a modern game?
Misha Kovyatkin@MKovyatkin
One screenshot uses Lumen and has 55fps, another -baked lighting and has 120 fps. Spot the difference. #UE5

@SebAaltonen @grantjbailey It's also just more expensive than it used to be and people's excess cash, whether it's their own or their parents isn't what it used to be
English
@grantjbailey They no longer go to parties or have social life. Similar downward curve in relationship/marriage stats. People spend time alone in their homes with their devices.

@hasen_95dx Only issues I have with sprints are time estimations and the fact that you might not know what kind and amount of work goes into a feature

Hey #unrealengine devs, users, or gamers, which AA method do you find yourselves using most these days?

@The_Odd_Gamerr @TaraBull How many guests would you typically have per server?
English
@sweenus987 @TaraBull Some places require 20% gratuity automatically, making sure the servers get paid, but in my restaurant we have 40 servers at once, I work at the Texas Roadhouse with the most guest count in the world, paying them a check like I get paid would be outrageous, make the company broke
English
@TaraBull Or just pay servers minimum wage and increase the cost of meals
English
@TaraBull Why not just charge 122.13 for the meal and give the server the 20% of that?
English
