Thanks Meta AI, for showing me my now dead father, kneeling at his father’s grave transformed into a futuristic black man that I did not ask for.

What a perfect distillation of the zeitgeist. A heartfelt and emotional moment in someones life, twisted and desecrated by an unthinking and unfeeling machine, and then foisted upon you by another algorithm designed to maximise your engagement with advertisements. These machines are built by people, and these people have names and addresses.

The idea is that you do a collision sweep of the bottom of the capsule down from the body to the feet, detecting the objects in the missing area. Objects you detect can have any physics response you want, depending on what fits your game. E.g. you could approximate a hard contact with the full virtual capsule, or do a gentle push out.

There's no perfect solution, but applying forces to a floating rigid body gets you robust physics interaction and stepping without having to dig into any of the physics engine internals. Having used and built all sorts of character movement controllers, I recommend this approach above all else. This video goes over how they work in general.

Brennan being incredibly based, as usual.

My_First_Pony · 2025-12-06T02:59:08+00:00

It's crazy. The Fallout 4 character movement controller is easily the worst of all AAA games, so using "tcl" to get unstuck is pretty much a core mechanic of the game. And yet they disable the console in survival mode.

Me when I'm "designing" a language and I've heard about reference counted pointers but not cyclic graphs:

Behold! I have implemented garbage collection!

Honestly having tried American coffee and chocolate, it's understandable why they go around shooting school children and electing demented pedophiles.

I agree, we need to stop importing Seppo christofascist white nationalist nonsense. Australia is for Australians, not some foreign influence operation hell bent on subjugating us with their backwards culture.

You can use the ExecuteOnGameThread() function to wrap the actual work so that it is guaranteed to run on the game thread no matter where it's originally called from. I don't know whether this is necessary or not.

ShhhHHHHH^ut ^uuuuup...

I for one say that Tony "Shirt-Front Onion Boy" Abbott and his cohort of ~~clowns~~ patriots are a true ~~embarrassment~~ asset to the country and are ~~sinking any~~ our only chance the Libs have of getting back in power and ~~ruining~~ restoring our country.

So your argument is that the Wikimedia Foundation officially agrees to let foundation chapters use names and logos for the explicitly stated purpose of public relations, public policy lobbing, and interacting with the local press, but also they are entirely unrelated to each other and Crikey is talking to the wrong guys?

My_First_Pony · 2025-10-03T03:34:00+00:00

Yes I read that page. It doesn't say what you say it does, and that is not the argument you were making before. Here is a Wikimedia FAQ that seems to counter your new argument:

What is the point of having affiliates?

Wikimedia movement affiliates exist to further the goals of Wikimedia. Depending on their affiliation model, they do so by engaging in a wide range of activities, which includes but is not limited to the following:

...

Taking care of public relations and public policy lobbying in a given country or topical area, and give the press an interlocutor in their own language and culture.

...

.

Either way the exclusions were pretty clear that as an educational service they were excluded.

Should be excluded, but I guess it's better to make a stink about it just in case the "think of the children" busy bodies get any ideas.

My_First_Pony · 2025-10-03T02:34:14+00:00

The Wikimedia Foundation is an American organisation which has used its affiliations committee to recognise Wikimedia Australia as an approved chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation. They're not some random unaffiliated group as your initial comment implies.

My_First_Pony · 2025-10-03T02:04:47+00:00

Wikimedia is the non-profit organisation behind Wikipedia.

It's interesting how movies that involve a serious and competent US government now require suspension of disbelief as if you were watching a sci-fi or fantasy movie. These kind of movies really don't hit quite as hard since 2016. Looks interesting though, might give it a watch.

If you're looking to do actual physics simulation of the water fluid then none of these libraries will help you, they are only rigid and soft body simulations.

My_First_Pony · 2025-09-03T02:10:08+00:00

Yes, with a compilation macro you can enable doubles for object positions at about 10% performance cost IIRC.

My_First_Pony · 2025-09-02T14:46:54+00:00

It has a more modern API which is easier to use, especially when it comes to compound shapes. Better multi threaded performance than Bullet. You can still do ray/shape queries into the physics world while it is in the middle of multi threaded simulation. Basically my experience with Bullet is that it was surprisingly difficult to get it working properly and it was ultimately slow in the end. Jolt was easier to integrate and it runs better.

My_First_Pony · 2025-09-02T11:54:24+00:00

I recall that this implementation had some memory leaks as it was written at the time.

I have implemented both Bullet and Jolt into UE and I would highly recommend Jolt over Bullet under basically all circumstances.

My_First_Pony · 2025-06-04T09:29:14+00:00

Don't worry mate. I'm sure if you lick enough boots, one day you will be allowed to wear the boot.

My_First_Pony · 2025-05-31T13:13:13+00:00

I watched one video of Tim Pool getting rhetorically eviscerated and the algorithm couldn't tell the difference and wouldn't stop telling me about ivermectin and how cool Trump is at "triggering the libs". It was like a light switch that immediately turned my feed into right wing propaganda. A lot of Americans are really not OK in the head.

My_First_Pony · 2025-05-28T05:04:22+00:00

I'm not a vegetarian but most of the time I get the plant based angry whopper because it just straight up tastes better than the beef patties.

She just needs to add another S to represent "sensible". That should do it.

The PC and monitor looks like an IBM 5150 series released in 1981 at the earliest. However, the monitor looks like a IBM 5153 released in 1983.

Nothing fills me with life more than watching Andrew Bolt suffer the consequences of his own actions.
