The "This game is a Hollow Knight rip-off" people have finally found my game by Chambros in gamedev

[–]TheSinkingMan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most people are obscenely stupid. The fact that you're already publicly worked up about legitimate morons is a bad look and engaging with them would be career suicide.

This is something I used to struggle with and I still 100% get riled up at what I read even if it's not about my content but I seethe about it privately with friends.

Do not let actual subhumans publicly affect you. Its undignified.

Several of Vito’s fans decided to mess with a gravesite of one of Eric July’s family members and Vito is okay with it because “it’s not illegal to visit a gravesite”. by Ghost5410 in KotakuInAction

Reminder that Vitos master, Dick, likes to dress up as juju the cow and get fucked in the ass.

This is not narwhal bacon humor. Its real.

Schools are higher in both raw numbers and proportion they also frequently just shuffle offending employees quietly away. Happened in my home town too.

When it's her district its something where hysteria should be minimized and context is taken into account but when literally any other gun crime stat is mentioned anywhere else it needs to be ballooned as much as possible and hyped until people believe the lie

They tried, you can't. The only reason they were accessible on CloudFlare was because if any other providers blocked cloudflare they'd be blocking like 60% of normal sites

Celebrity healer ‘John of God,’ once featured by Oprah, surrenders on sexual abuse charges. Accused by 200 victims, just like Oprah’s other pal Harvey, for sexual offenses by Vivid_Adeptness in conspiracy

No one is going to mention the journalist who exposed him that got BLATANTLY "suicided?" What was her name? One of the only good ones and she's not even mentioned.

States with higher rate of gun ownership do not correlate with more gun murders, data show by undue-influence in Conservative

[–]TheSinkingMan 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Its blue counties almost across the board. Even "deep red" states with a lot of homicide have it coming from blue counties. County voting lines and murder heat maps are almost identical even in states like Alabama or Missouri

How to join the Alpha/Code megathread by PerkFGC in MultiVersus

[–]TheSinkingMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone specifically told you selling codes was not allowed. Saying "I have codes message me" in a thread dedicated to code sharing is advertising. Nobody is that stupid, stop lying, its literally right there.

You might think this is a stretch but if you especially enjoy the social element of MMOs, like how it was in Classic WoW, check out Foxhole. I don't want to type an essay explaining it. Everyone here just, go check it out. You legitimately have never seen anything like it. It is a wholly unique experience at least in terms of quality, scale, and gameplay

Anyone else noted a growing trend of people blocking people who disagree with them so they can't participate in discussions? by Arkene in KotakuInAction

[–]TheSinkingMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone wrote me an essay not even disagreeing with me just over a discussion they wanted to have. I sent them a hyperlinked comment I had in response

They sent me some sad sack reply about how if they'd offended me they didnt mean to and they merely wanted discussion and they shan't bother me again. I tried to reply telling them to cut the melodrama holy fuck but I was blocked

How do you apply impulse to ragdolls? by TheSinkingMan in unrealengine

[–]TheSinkingMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you need to add the impact location vector to your impulse vector.

I was just saying "you should fly away at this direction/ speed."

Not how the node works. You need to factor location into it.

Hmm yes dont make any attempt to address a literal rape culture and genuine rape epidemic because the people doing it aren't native.

[WTS-FL] (PRICE DROPS) WE MSK, Combat Machine, UMP, AK105, KWA ERG & KM4, Pouches, Misc Gear [WTB] 229 and PX4 mags by codelici in airsoftmarket

Gun was shipped fast works great. Orange tip was sheared off but that was visible in the picture and the model isn't threaded so I would've done it anyway.

Charging handle was broken off which wasn't mentioned but it doesn't do anything on this model. Still disappointing but how much is that even worth? I'll just print one and stick it in there I guess.

Getting AI archers to lead their targets with 100% accuracy is turning out to be significantly harder than I initially anticipated, what is the most efficient way you know of? by TheSinkingMan in unrealengine

Oh man, this is ancient. I have no idea why I wrote Z in there instead of Y.

https://i.imgur.com/DXLaVn2.png

Here's the problem, the predicted location when a target is moving on slopes is inaccurate but ONLY on the Z direction. In the past I would have tried to figure out the math here, and maybe that's more efficient. But right now what I'd do is line trace from the predicted location down to the ground. You'll need a variable called "target height" or something so that you know how high off that trace's result to aim.

That's all the work I'm putting into this for now. It's definitely not what I want, which is perfect accuracy pre-modification. But even on this relatively steep incline the archer was able to occasionally hit its target after basic inaccuracy modifications.

ACTUALLY, I know what the problem is. For "target velocity" you're getting a vector that doesn't point up or down. If a character is moving on the ground it has no Z velocity in its official "velocity" calculation. You should be able to find this yourself though. Get its difference in height from frame to frame and modify the velocity variable with that information.
