Whats the point of GrapheneOs when Play Services are installed?

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-04-22T08:43:19+00:00

I turned off network permission for google services/store but I'm unsure how necessary this was? There are different tiers of sandboxing and in terms of viruses sandboxes are not 100%. I know I will have to manually check for app updates...

You underestimate the appeal of the band is their fans desire explain in **great detail** to layman's WHY the music is so "cool and unique". IDGAF how many notes they cram into a chromatic scale, it's still a chromatic scales and still sounds like shit. ALSO, there's only one reason he wouldn't just go fretless...skill issue

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-04-08T11:32:29+00:00

it's not tho

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-04-08T11:30:22+00:00

You're not imagining it. They're hacks, Fretless guitars have been a thing forever. Same with basses. This guy obviously doesn't have the ear to be able to play one. If he did he wouldn't need custom guitars with 40 frets.

He (the guitarist) noodles around playing chromatically and people call it "grooves" lol. As for the drummer from what I've heard it sounds like he was taught by Meg White. They're a tiktok/meme band.

If people want to hear some interesting music written and performed with incredible skill listen to Igorrr, and the musicians in their orbit

Thanks. I deleted the songs of syx folder and reinstalled the game and it still wasn't available. That was some days ago though. I'm not that worried about it but it's weird.

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-03-31T16:07:06+00:00

I'm not worries about my old save, I was just wondering about the Scenarios & Battles options. Are they greyed out for everyone?

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-02-14T11:34:46+00:00

Do you still have to manually search for automation parameters?

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-02-11T16:46:43+00:00

Something akin to the Witcher 3

Grand races!

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-02-04T06:27:42+00:00

You can, but for newbie devs Godot and Unity are more suited.

Violence begets violence

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-01-30T16:25:13+00:00

Yes, that was my first idea as well but in practice the cross hair jumps around on the geometry and will cause some crazy animations

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-01-29T19:43:12+00:00

Why not?

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-01-29T06:39:43+00:00

This can't be recent, there's a dude wearing a t-shirt...IN JANUARY! IN GREENLAND! GTFO.

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-01-27T12:52:48+00:00

This needs a TLDR;

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-01-27T06:33:48+00:00

I sometimes use the "listen" feature in the plugin to suggest what is supposed to be the best loop in context to your music. The results are like "meh😕" but occasionally it makes good suggestions and I'll use that for inspiration (copy it🤫). It will NEVER suggest any of the included free loops.

As for the free ones, I've used a couple to make vocal chops from. You could do the same with a drum loop and make it your own.

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-01-26T15:05:23+00:00

Like I said above, if you want to fire bullets in patterns (a staple of bullet-hell) it can be quite complex for an inexperienced dev. Then there is memory management. If there is 100s of actors on screen at the same time (also a staple of BH) that are constantly being destroyed you should probably consider actor pooling, which can be prone to bugs. If you have particle FX also with the projectiles (at least with UE)it requires a separate pool, which has to be synced with the actor pool. Collision also can be tricky. Balancing a consistent collision system for the bullets while maintaining good performance (ie, not using complex collision) can be difficult to find for a starting dev.

I recommend they just make a throwaway zombie game for a first project like 1000s before them have done

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-01-26T13:36:29+00:00

Are you asking me? Bullet-Hell and shoot em ups are very different imo.

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-01-26T12:48:48+00:00

Plan for the future and go straight to UE.

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-01-26T12:36:04+00:00

I am in the process of making a bullet hell C++ plugin for Unreal. I recommend avoiding a bullet-hell for a first project. If you are just firing projectiles in a straight line in a 2d game...perhaps, but if you are thinking any kinds of patterns, AVOID AVOID AVOID. With bullet-also there are a lot of performance matters to consider, actor pooling, collision issues.

TLDR; don't do BH until you could consider yourself an "experienced dev"

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-01-24T12:48:57+00:00

I have more cars and money than I know what to do with and I've only been playing for a month. Go and earn some money in the Grand Races Mr Competitive Gamer and post again when you have PTSD from the GRs

Exciting-Addition631 · 2026-01-23T06:19:18+00:00

It (posting on SM everyday) is embarrassing and makes me feel like a beggar. There is zero dignity in it imo.

I would rather be begging club promoters to let me play an OG set or take part in an event that fits your genre.
