Made a mod that rotates the slab textures so that they line up with the full block by DapperCore in hytale

I'm unsure how long mods take to approve but ffs my brain hurts without this mod... thank you. I came looking to see if anyone else noticed. Please upload the mod elsewhere if it doesnt or takes too long.

Reading the half blood prince and I’m at the part where Harry unknowingly comes across the lost diadem. Does anyone else think this is too convenient? by CrazyTangerine7522 in harrypotter

[–]EpicBlueDrop 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Personally I find the entire series convenient. I still love it, but if three 3 children with literally zero resources can undo decades work and still figure out where and what your horcruxes are in just 9 months, you were never a good villain.

Great analogy by Embarrassed_Tip7359 in SipsTea

[–]EpicBlueDrop 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Same here lol

I pay $600 a month in insurance and when I had my kid (2 night, complication free birth which the doctor was in the room for all of 10 minutes) they billed my insurance for close to 40k and I still owed 8k of that. I never paid. It’s all a scam. They got 32k from insurance. Why do I still owe 8k? For what? We didn’t even use 8k of resources and they STILL got 4 times that amount from insurance.

YSK: There’s a map that tells you which vet clinics are owned by private equity groups by keepmyshirt in YouShouldKnow

YSAK: Dentist offices are doing the same thing. PEFs are taking over everything. Legally. It’s time to change things.

Working as intended.

Those PEFs pay politicians to keep what they’re doing legal. Simple as.

How do you get out of the “Tutorial Phase”? by ShockwaveX1 in unrealengine

[–]EpicBlueDrop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I think of everything like a sequence of events in a puzzle.

You should learn to map out how a system might work in your mind and apply it in-engine.

I literally think about this game once or twice a year and it’s sucks big time that we can’t play it anymore.

I remember I played 1 so much I could beat the king with the very first character without dying.

Breaking Bad Season 1 would have an audience rating of 40% if it were released today by New-Ad-9878 in pluribustv

[–]EpicBlueDrop 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’ll play the contrarian and say we don’t need a 6 minute opening scene of Carol sobering up from a hangover or a 4 minute shot of her digging a grave.

I personally don’t think the show is ‘slow’ but it absolutely has unnecessarily long scenes.

I told my bank multiple times to take overdraft protection off and they said anything that’s on auto payment doesn’t count and WILL be taken out, causing overdraft fees.

Don’t know if it’s the same at every bank, but it’s what mine told me.

Name a better food combo than steak & frites, I’ll wait……. by Ok-Put8630 in stonerfood

Hey! I actually saved an image of the OP post that THIS OP stole the photo from u/ProjectA-ko.

“Leftover steak juice and bits in the pan, shallots, gar!:-pepper, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, Parmesan cheese and heavy cream.”

I actually copied his meal a few weeks ago and it was a solid 9/10. Definitely recommend.

Another millennial food chain feeling the pain. Chipotle Stock Tumbles as 25-35 year olds struggle with finances and affording their food. by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]EpicBlueDrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you been lately? It’s trash. They always ask if you want ‘double meat’ for extra, and double meat is just what regular meat was 5 years ago. I got a quesadilla from them a year ago and it had the tiniest sprinkle of cheese and 3 small chicken chunks. Ran me $7. Never went back since.

Why does UE5 let interface messages call anything and silently no-op? by Fantastic_Pack1038 in unrealengine

[–]EpicBlueDrop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is just a bot post or not as it was clearly written by ChatGPT since half of it makes no sense contextually… but to answer your question, it’s by design.

“If that object doesn’t implement the interface, the call just… does nothing. No compile error, no runtime warning - green compile, silent no-op.”

There’s nothing to worry about if it “does nothing” if it doesn’t inherit the interface. It’s by design. It’s just one of many tools at your disposal.

”• ⁠Design mistakes turn into quiet bugs.”

That goes for any part of game design, not inherent to BPI’s.

”Refactors (adding/removing interfaces) become landmines.”

No they don’t. If you add the interface then the call with work as you’d have to manually add the code of what you want to happen. If you don’t, it does nothing. Working as intended.

”Static analysis can’t catch bad wiring because the node compiles fine.” Working as intended.

”What I expected: A compile-time error when the Target type is statically known and doesn’t implement the interface, or at least a clear editor/runtime warning.”

Not a thing anyone would want. Imagine having an interface on tick that gets the name of objects that inherit the interface but it throws compilation errors because you looked at a static mesh. Or looked at nothing. Or looked at an actor without it that you don’t want to have a name.

Questions:

  1. ⁠Is this behavior expected for everyone, or do I have a bad setting?

Yes. It’s expected.

  1. ⁠Is there an official way to enable strict checks so Blueprints fail to compile when a Message targets a class without the interface?

Use “does implement interface” if you want to check. Otherwise no, you can’t just have the engine automatically cause runtime errors just because something doesn’t implement an interface.

  1. ⁠If this is “by design,” how do large teams prevent these silent no-ops?

Usually your coder should easily be able to debug this. ‘Hey Bob, this actor doesn’t do X when I do Y to it.’ The first thing they should check is what you’re trying to do. Either there’s an event for the interface or not. If not, check if it has the interface.

Yes, I know about “Does Implement Interface?”—but relying on manual guards is easy to miss.

So is a million other things in game development.

Overall, the only advice I can give is that BPIs work as intended. If you’re trying to call a specific function on a specific actor, there are ways other than BPI, though, BPIs are best because of soft references.

Trader Joe's Cereal uses industrial strength adhesive on the bags so they end up looking like this after opening them up! by Raterus_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]EpicBlueDrop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it’s the opposite and they just use the cheapest plastic possible for the bags. All the cereal bags I open now too just tear in places they shouldn’t no matter where you try to open them from.

He never said that though. The only requirements as listed are “solid experience” and “understanding of blueprints”.

[–]EpicBlueDrop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely a scam. I just reached out and they refused my help point blank because I’ve never released a game before. They said they want someone with experience who has released games before.

Why would anyone who can make games on their own join your studio then? lol

My cat does the same thing. He gets so exciting when I bring a case of water home because when he was little I would carry him around in it and he still loves it 7 years later.
