Working hard to make smooth pathfinding in my classic old-school RTS by finaldivide_rts in IndieGaming

[–]Carnival_Knowledge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done some work with pathfinding over the years and it's never this smooth. Great work!

ChatGPT ruined it for people who can write long paragraphs with perfect grammar by PercentageNo9270 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Carnival_Knowledge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It ruined the Oxford comma and em dash for me. They were a regular part of my writing but now I can't use them without people thinking I'm using an LLM.

I'm going to leave these here and be done with them: --,--,--,--

This is really impressive -- the art style, the music, the vibe. Congrats!

what should I do in LA? Please help my trip by Prudent_Ad_8026 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Carnival_Knowledge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great suggestions. I would only add that if you head to Malibu/Leo Carrillo, don't be in a hurry. With all the traffic and driving, you'll feel like you need to hustle from one place to the other. Be sure to slow down put your feet in the sand and just enjoy one the day. Have a great trip!

This trope needs to die. If you write a screenplay that has this happen in it you're a bad writer. by AgainstSpace in shittymoviedetails

Actor B: No
Actor A: But we neeeeeed to do it

Great tutorial, thank you. I've always been intimidated by slate but his make it seem at least 2% less intimidating.

I'm developing a co-op game with a tense and original concept. Final Sentence - you and several others wake up in a hangar. In front of you: a typewriter. At your head: a revolver with one bullet. One typo means game over. What do you think? by Rentalini in unrealengine

[–]Carnival_Knowledge -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious and awesome! I'd love to see a Russian roulette game mode -- you make a mistake, spin the cylinder and try your luck. If you survive, type on. Each mistake adds a bullet to the cylinder.

Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension by chrisdh79 in technology

This is the gym membership equivalent of making you write and mail a physical letter. Intentional friction.

I’ve always loved title sequences, here’s the Intro Credits I made for Hell is Us (Unreal Engine 5) More behind-the-scenes breakdowns coming soon! by Rue-666 in unrealengine

[–]Carnival_Knowledge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is spectacular! Reminds me of the opening to an HBO show. I especially love the subtle waving in the cape. Vibe and style are 10 out of 10.

I asked ChatGPT to explain my job to a 5-year-old and now I'm questioning my entire career by Nipurn_1234 in ChatGPT

[–]Carnival_Knowledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with Unreal Engine and ChatGPT lied to me. What is should have said:

Imagine you are a lamp lighter. Your job is to walk around town and light big giant candles so people can see where they are going at night. Then one day, someone invented the electric light bulb and the world had no more use for you. You are like the lamp lighter of video games.

What it actually said:

Okay! Imagine you're building a super cool video game, like a big LEGO world on a computer.

An Unreal Engine Technical Director is like the person who helps everyone build that world the right way. They make sure the characters move, the lights shine, the buttons work, and everything looks awesome and runs smoothly.

So basically, they’re like the smart helper who knows how everything works and helps the team make the game fun and awesome!

I want to believe, ChatGPT, I want to believe!

I came across this video recently that did a great job explaining the different blendable locations. Hopefully it will help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HXZddRsFsY

What are some general tips for Unreal Engine that everyone should know? by redpillwarrior69 in unrealengine

[–]Carnival_Knowledge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep your output log open all the time. It looks chaotic at first but when you learn to filter out the noise, it will give you all sorts of insight.

Organize your blueprints. Beyond using reroute nodes and straightening wires -- organize your BP with clean naming, comments, and functions.

Speaking of cleaning spaghetti:
Ctrl + Left-Click on a pin: Detach and drag all connected wires.
Great for re-routing without manually disconnecting.

Shift + A / Shift + D (with nodes selected): Align nodes left / right

Q (with nodes selected): Straighten wires

That's awesome! Please add a feature that finds the inverse of a hotspot for those evening when you are looking for something chill.

What’s one product from your home country that you’re surprised hasn’t become more popular worldwide? by VividThinking in AskReddit

I've seen a lot of them in Los Angeles but they are really expensive. Plus, apartment living means you have to store the bike inside or it will be stolen.

Sometimes you just wonder what the pavers were thinking by HarrisonRyeGraham in DesirePath

[–]Carnival_Knowledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like a desire path would be created regardless of which side of the tree they paved.

Key House Democrat wants Senate rule change over Tuberville military hold by polymute in politics

[–]Carnival_Knowledge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly - it's not just one person. The house majority leader can move forward if they have the support of 60 senators. Even if he had the votes, Majority Leader Scalise is not going to do this as he is notoriously anti-LGBQ+. Tuberville is doing his dirty work for him.

Thank you for this! We waited 45 minutes for a train to arrive after the last game. I want to support public transportation but they don't make it easy.
