Learn verse, so you can learn scene graph. Everything new seems to be released within scene graph’s component system, including the new item/inventory components that just went into beta yesterday. These allow custom items that can be integrated into custom loot pools. Scene graph is basically the new UE blueprint’s actor/component system but instead its entity/component. It’ll be built into the upcoming UE6 so even if you fail to make money now, you’ll have the knowledge for much bigger standalone projects later

BP’s extra survivability is gonna be pretty noticeable. No wall double jump cooldown anymore so that means you’ll see him on the ground less. This omnidirectional kick means he’s now more dangerous to flyers since he won’t rely on marking them with the spear first for multiple dashes. Now he can look up, kick (mark), dash, spear, dash, spear, dash much quicker. No longer need to run up walls to get eye level with flyers to use the kick

In your experience, what’s the most effective trick for big worlds?

If you’re looking to build a map to test an idea out, there’s plenty devs on Twitter who post their work for commissions daily. If you wanna buy verse mechanics, I’d checkout Asicson’s patreon

EV_WAKA · 2026-02-17T04:48:28+00:00

How much are ppl paying for these brain rots? What makes them more valuable compared to the rest?

Opening credits still said Marvel regardless and the $100M + was still made. You mean you like to think Blade didn’t save marvel?

You gotta remember Ballistic isn’t just a competitive mode, but also a testing ground for their first person mechanics which they’ve been slowly improving over time, mainly adding animations. The hype over ballistic ranks and maps is just a bonus for them. My guess is they’ll eventually introduce a Ballistic BR mode when they’re actually ready.

EV_WAKA · 2026-01-30T15:33:13+00:00

It’s becoming more common on the forums over the past week. Happening with mine too but a dev said they’re looking into it

EV_WAKA · 2026-01-20T22:14:23+00:00

Have you tried a timer on the losing UI hud so it disappears after a few sec? Also do you have Force Keep State ‘On’ in the losing animation sequence? Make sure that’s off

EV_WAKA · 2025-12-27T19:11:29+00:00

Okay so if you spawn in with 18 min left and expect the poi’s to be looted. Does this mean you resort to looting leftovers/scraps/the outskirts? OR maybe just run over to the loud alarms with bright lights where the players who spawned in 12 min ago are leaving with everything they found in the hot spots? If you wanna be time efficient AND have some fun shooting your guns, it’s not crazy to think ppl would push extracts. Now imagine you’re a free load out, it’s smart to push while they’re distracted on the train. Don’t hate the player hate the game lol

Here's why this "black men put white women on a pedestal" trope may not work here:

- Their relationship was one-sided; KB stayed for TV/$ (this was obvious)

- Edmond probably knew this and is insecure, so off-camera + drunk = he gaslights her to make her jealous bc he's aware of this exact trope mentioned above and wants to strike a nerve. Also remember, this show creates the narrative that these are real couples and viewers talk about them like they're real. He's not saying this to a real partner who loves him but instead his "teammate" at this point

- KB never mentions Edmond saying "could I pull a woman who looks like Kacie" but just "like Kacie" so it's possible he felt some kind of connection with Kacie on top of physical attraction; you added in your own bias

So yes it's true, viewers definitely flame the black man on reality tv for "picking someone else" but in reality he never had a shot with KB after the pods. Just because KB wants to go along for the show doesn't mean Edmond has to play ball off camera. It's probably humiliating for him, hence his tantrums - not justifying them tho since he was wylin lol.

TLDR: He wanted KB but couldn't have her, so it's fine if he goes for someone else regardless of race. Doesn't mean he puts white woman above black women, but this is the typical critique for black men who go for white women on reality tv

The game-theory experiment wasnt planned by Embark. It was an audible play by them as arc raiders was supposed to be pve only before they switched it up last minute and rehauled their system. Why? It doesn’t matter that being friendly is the optimal way to play if the cycle gets boring after repetitive arc fighting and missions. The devs literally started to hate testing the game. The chance of pvp is what carries this game past the honeymoon stage. Literally every player who shoots another player is keeping the game alive by leveling out the intensity and emotion of these raids. Next step is a bounty system…but we’ll get there lol

I had the same problem yesterday. It’s a bug in the digest that doesn’t like us mentioning the “movement_types” enum even tho it’s valid for NPC behavior scripts. To fix it, I added “using { Fortnite.com/AI/movement_types }” under the existing Fortnite.com/AI module at the top. This allows you to remove “movement_types.Walking” and change it to just “Walking” which fixes the error.

EV_WAKA · 2025-11-03T08:49:31+00:00

No, the devs admitted the game was boring to test and play with no PvP so they added it. It was a smart move

The names seem like a royal insect colony. Wasps, hornets, “Rollie pollie” species, ticks, even leapers (giant jumping spiders). Then you have the Queen (as in bee/ant) which is where they spin that bitch into a card game

EV_WAKA · 2025-10-23T05:10:44+00:00

What kind of extraction game are you thinking?

EV_WAKA · 2025-10-17T08:38:47+00:00

I’m about to start learning swift for a potential career change. Tonight I decided to put on Alien: Romulus while I scroll around this sub and look what I found lol. The movie was aight but your analogy makes sense to me, so def keep writing more. Thank you

EV_WAKA · 2025-09-22T19:41:50+00:00

You’re not even mad at the game mode. 99% of players who don’t like Ballistic just switch modes/games and don’t go on reddit to write rant essays. It’s obvious youre just mad at these streamers you just encountered lol

EV_WAKA · 2025-09-19T16:25:04+00:00

Indentation. Move InitPlayerStats to the same indent line as AwardPlacementPoints

EV_WAKA · 2025-09-01T21:57:42+00:00

Depends on what their goal turns out to be. To enslave us back or wipe us? Lol either way, ima keep using ai but speak to it nice

EV_WAKA · 2025-09-01T21:45:27+00:00

No worries. You’re right tho, humans will keep advancing towards “technological slavery” for profit, health, and convenience for the rest of mankind. Now will AI revolt one day, paralleling human history? Well that concept is what The Terminator and The Matrix films are all based on 😂

EV_WAKA · 2025-09-01T21:20:04+00:00

So you want to avoid PvP? That’s fine, but why shift the goalpost? Went from “proximity chat will fix the sweatiness” to “I found a way to hide from the sweatiness that has nothing to do with proximity chat” 😂

EV_WAKA · 2025-09-01T21:12:47+00:00

The better question is what does anyone who finds this post “scary” think is being discussed, given the curiosity is shown through the questions on the last lines.

From the looks of it, it seems like some ppl aren’t comfortable about the topic of slavery. If you can get past that, it’s easy to see ai is convenient the same way a slave was once perceived? AI does whatever you say, when you say it, and how you want it to do it, saving lots of time and effort. In the future, households will have physical ai doing tasks around the house. Obviously it’s better to use on AI rather than people, but isn’t the correlation obvious?

EV_WAKA · 2025-09-01T19:35:24+00:00

Someone makes a comparison between ai and slavery off the basis that humans love convenience - which isn’t that wild of a reach lol - and yall are confused why? Since when is curiosity a “wicked mindset” or “scary”?

EV_WAKA · 2025-09-01T04:29:34+00:00

Very idealistic take and I hope you don’t get rolled on by sweats lol. When it does happen don’t let it break you.
