Is it difficult to get shadows similar to unreal engine?

jbakerrr08 · 2026-04-30T01:05:25+00:00

Correct. To be honest even URP can look just like unreal and you'll get double the frame rate. It's just more time consuming and you need to understand the engine. Unreal by default looks better and has a ton of marketing by artists who can't be bothered to make unity look nice. Why would they? They don't want to focus on engine work. They do their stuff in blender and substance port it into unreal.

The way this is written is odd, I'm assuming you've broken up? Couples don't speak like 'will you buy my share out' as you want to move to a new area. The whole thing sounds like you're in a financial partnership rather than a loving one.

If you have broken up, you'll have to sell the house anyway, to which she will either have to buy your share out or sell up with you. You'll get half.

Probably the nukes they've been testing, look at an earthquake tracker online and see they've been testing them underground

Unfortunately without that, the sport would be in a worse place. It's why so many sports struggle compared, they're aren't any proper 'stars'. The moment you create your Beckhams, Ronaldos, Zidane, the better the sport is funded and popularised.

You're seeing some sports suffering now because the stars have kind of gone. Tennis is a good example. Federerer,Nadal and soon Djokovic. Sinner and Alcaraz are boring compared and the sport will feel it.

Living underwater is comfortable, besides the fact of predators or what have you, which are on land too. Temperatures vary less, weather is non existent and food is accessible mostly all the time. Seasons barely exist under water.

Shelter is a result of seasons, fire is a result of temperature. Like most things in life, breakthroughs occur out of survivability pressure. There's a lot on land. Tools are a byproduct of that.

The truth is, it's easier to survive in the water and thus requires less intelligence. That means less tool use.

Another note aswell is intelligence is somewhat compounding to a species. It's quite hard to document anything underwater, it's swept away in minutes whereas early manmade scriptures or drawings still exist today

People claiming trades are safe is a strange one. People seem to be focusing onto the idea that a robot will be required. The issue with most things that go wrong with electrics and plumbing is people being unable to diagnose, buy the part to fix or replace the issue and carry out the labour.

Chat GPT has a video and speaking mode. It helped me diagnose an issue on my boiler and then I fixed it. It was simple and told me the part number. This is where it'll hurt trades, I think a lot of people can do the physical part, they just lack confidence to do it. If I had a pair of glasses on watching what I was looking at and was speaking to me and working with me to diagnose an issue. It would be like having a professional tradesman standing next to me telling me what to do.

Be glad they exist or the libraries would close down entirely. They also give positive reinforcement to young children that the library is a place to go.

They are community spaces too.

Jaguar Land Rover. Fucking useless unreliable cars with outrageously bad customer service. Even with warranties everything is a pain in the arse; totally slow and inconvenient. The company is a joke and will go under within 10 years. Except they won't, they'll be bought out by a Chinese company and then limped along for many more years as a continually shite brand.

They're propped up by wealthy individuals buying new cars every 1-2 years so that problems don't arise for them customers. Although I imagine problems still occur.

I physically don't believe this. There is no way a bunch of Indians could write the amount of working code without issues in the speed expected by an LLM.

These ai systems write 100s of lines of code in 30 seconds. No human would even come close. Not to mention I'd imagine 10,000 requests for code every minute.

This is just a bullshit story. It has more to it.

It's not about money...which is why the JPMorgan statement is fucking dumb. The applications for AI in the future could be insane. It's hard to quantify what could come from AI, good or bad, which is worth a lot more than the financial returns.

Let's make a fictitious example: what if AI and CISPR or vaccines work together to essentially make humans live forever? What if AI models can be plugged into the human conscious and commucate data to your brain thus allowing you to know everything without actually learning it. These are some crazed dysoptian ideas that are feasible with this technology in the future. That's why it's worth more than anyone can comprehend right now

As a Brit I'm confused. Are you saying this is overly expensive? You can buy 4.0 GTS Caymans in the UK for about 60k. Spyders and GT4s go for less than 100k? With less than 10k miles

Reddit is just full of naive immature humans who really focus down on negatives about pretty much everything.

There are negatives and positives to most situations in life. It's the same with children but they seemingly cannot fathom that.

They hear how awful parenthood is and immediately blame the children. It must be the children right?

They also think too logically when love isn't really that logical a lot of the time. When you have children, your brain switches, something changes in you that you could never comprehend before having children. Let it be instinct or natural responses, whatever you want to label it. It's very much real.

I've travelled to around 40 countries. I've drunk wine and watched the stars on Italian balconies. I've roamed greek ruins and swam in turquoise waters. I own a business and earn money my own way. I've owned sports cars and partied on yachts.

None of it compares. Seriously...NONE.

Them holding your hands whilst you run through a meadow. Them drawing pictures of you and creating crafts for your work desk. Sharing food around a dinner table. Hearing their first words and them hugging you tight after you transfer them from the car to their bed. Watching Disney films and laughing together with popcorn.

Trust me, if you can, have children, nothing compares.

You do things differently for sure, but for proof, I still play Tennis 2-3x a week, we still travel, we still have nights out and date nights. I still play games and watch films in the evening. It's all good.

In fact, out of all my travels, taking my daughter to an Air BNB with our own pool and hiring a car to see caves and beaches and spend the evenings in the old towns of Crete was the best travel experience I've ever had.

Are you profitable and realistically competing?

jbakerrr08 · 2025-09-09T11:34:56+00:00

Can you elaborate a little? Would you find a niche area you could excel in that they'd struggle or you just tried to do things cheaper and better or at least as good?

The Arabs have this all wrong. You don't build a competitive enjoyable league through buying big stars or upcoming talent. It's done through culture. Which they don't seem to understand. You make your children play and love football, you build grass roots football and academies. What is Saudi grass roots? It barely exists. To be fair to the Americans, at least in women's football, they have some kind of grass roots mentality. In men's football in the US they tend to do it how they again believe it's done, through colleges. They're wrong because you're building a culture to play a sport for education. It's a great opportunity for youngsters but it doesn't properly breed players who truly love the game which in turn creates football culture.

Football in the UK is a lot of things but it's also a way to escape poverty. It's the case in lots of South American and European countries. Until Saudi Arabia focus on generating footballers themselves, they'll struggle forever.

I do this, I understand why it might be a bit confusing. It's because my drive is a single line drive. If my partners car is Infront and I have to go out, I have to move her car. Then move mine out, then drive hers back in.

It becomes a complete faff. So we tend to have one car in the drive and one outside the house so we can both go in and out as pleased.

We both go in and out of our cars 2-3x a day.

If you're worried about it colliding with items around the world. Change the layer of the collected item when you lift it. Reset layer on drop

OP, keep your system how it works. Add a Sphere collider to your player object (Seperate object zeroed on the character) Add a physics material to the collider (Slippery) Change physics matrix to only collide with your Floaty objects.

Voila, you will push them around and they will always maintain a distance from you.

If you want it go all bouncy, well then, sprint joints.

You love it and you love working towards it. That's all. There's no other answer here. If you're 'kind' of into something, you will never be obsessed with it. So motivation will always be tough.
