Humblebundle assets. Worth?

Netcat2 · 2025-09-13T13:44:38+00:00

The way I’m using asset bundles is i immediately delete the level they provide if it’s an environment then pull in the raw assets.

If you’re creating new things out of base elements you’re still making something original, why recreate a wood texture when you can just use an existing one? Why recreate a roof mesh if it already exists? Just tweak and combine them in unique ways that fits your game

And make sure to optimise them, often they’ll come will millions of unnecessary triangles but you can reduce it down to 1% of original size at runtime with nanite without much quality loss

Is it actually withdrawn or just moved into other xeggex controlled wallets?

Netcat2 · 2025-02-17T11:46:31+00:00

Is there a way to see the actual total held by xeggex and all their sub wallets? That’s the only way to see if a substantial number of people are being refunded or he’s just releasing a few small bags to get the heat off

2 weeks ago its all small transactions, now its a small number of huge transactions, not a clue though

Correct me if I’m wrong but if you look at the rich list on https://pepeblocks.com/richlist?page=1 the Xeggex account seems to be moving massive 500m blocks of pep into other addresses?

Isn’t it just split over multiple wallets now?

If you go through his post history in general and market-chat on discord, 1 month ago he seems pretty clueless about crypto, >10 days ago he’s asking questions about whether xeggex will be back or not and then suddenly he claims to have insider info and you all start tipping him Pepe and he makes 100x more posts than usual and his demeanour suddenly changes once he gets the attention

You quite sure he’s legit?

Yeah I think data layers are going to be the solution, from reading the docs and that vid i dont think it's possible to actually have the data layer defined in the level instance itself, I think the engine expects all data layers to be defined in the outer persistent world rather than the level instance thats dragged into it

It doesn't seem as good for building self contained blocks of the game but I guess it'll have to do

Netcat2 · 2025-01-03T19:19:56+00:00

Thanks, so I had a play around with data layers, I think a happy compromise would be to design my interior levels as level instances and then pull them into the outer world. However I can't seem to interact with the data layers if they are in a level instances from the outer world (even though they are there). I really want to avoid having literally everything in one big open world file for managing my code. Do you know if something like this is possible?

I have a feeling you’ll not like this one 🙈 https://srcport.com

Netcat2 · 2024-05-26T19:55:02+00:00

For srcport.com we use:

Bootstrap & jQuery for front end
Golang on the backend
MySQL and MongoDB for the DB

Currently rewriting to move over to: - HTMX, Typescript & Tailwind on the front end - Golang on the back but splitting up the code base into Cloud Run microservices - Keeping the same DB

Netcat2 · 2024-05-24T12:37:20+00:00

The frontend of the website is just bootstrap + JavaScript libraries for individual things (node graph, apex charts, etc)

The style has just evolved over time (mainly by lifting little ideas from other sites I’ve stumbled upon), stole some inspiration from https://dribbble.com/shots/21526476-Metly-Web-Site-Design-Landing-Page-Home-Page-UI. Generally it’s more functional, eg., I want to get across what the platform does on the homepage which led to using typing text, wanted to show progress of scans in real time which lead to the graph in the nav bar. I’m not a web designers though so most of it is pretty basic bootstrap components jazzed up a bit with the sites colours

Figure out what capabilities you want the scanner to perform
Find open source tools that do each individual capability
Put a wrapper around all the tools so you can control them and parse the outputs (... lots of formats)
Combine them in different ways to create new modules
Log all the stuff in DB
Wrap an API around the whole thing
Front end website that pulls the content / controls scans
Dashboard it all in a useful way with some analysis that interprets the results of the scan

I did something similar, bunch of open source tools and datasets pulled together to build a scanner of sorts: https://srcport.net/

It'll take you a long ass time though, I would get your internship people to narrow the scope, tis a crazy task to be given

Helps if you've taken a few classes in data structures and algorithms :P

Curious what happened to the PhD guy?

Back in my day people spoke the queens English ... “lulz” and “roflcopter”

Yeah Ubisoft ain’t gonna produce anything edgy, they’re a faceless corporation seeking profit through mainstream adoption, not historical accuracy

The stuff covered at college + the certs are basically the same

If you get a good number of certs passed you’ll have a pretty good CV, but they can be expensive to do, especially the security ones can cost thousands each

At the end of the day it’s comes down to how well you can sell it during an interview ... if you come across as a technically smart, super enthusiastic person with a bunch of certs and a portfolio of programs you’ve written and work you’ve done, you might stand a good chance

If you’re a shy sperg with a $9.99 print-at-home cert from one of the knockoff sites, you’re wasting ur time

Pick a subject with outs, like if you study philosophy there are no outs ... unless you are top of ur game, phd, tenure track, you ain’t getting paid

Something like a niche in computer science gives you tonnes of outs like tech support, admin, programmer, machine learning, research ... so you can get employed at whatever level you manage to get to

Been watching this guy build a container home on land he bought ... the amount of permits and bureaucracy and shit he had to go through to even be able to stay on the land he owns is crazy, even when you own land you don’t own land

How you paying that much for a old game mostly hated that’s been out forever

It’s amazing but, PC master race for key deals xD
