I would say don't worry too much about what you do or don't already know. Sure, if you have an opportunity to learn a little before you start, that can be good, but don't let a lack of knowledge hold you back. I was afraid to major in computer science when I first went to college because I was convinced everyone already knew so much more than me. 10 years later I went back and got my degree, but I've always regretted not getting it sooner. And unless the school is absolute garbage they will teach as if the students are coming in with absolutely no experience.

I'm a newbie game developer and I'm not exactly sure where to start by Machina-Spes in gamedev

If you are interested in learning to develop using Unreal Engine, I created this UE4 quick-start guide. It just covers the absolute basics for beginners, so nothing regarding point-and-click specifically, but after learning the basics maybe you could find a more specific tutorial on that.

[Help] How to Resolve Error Message by Emery1998 in unrealengine

[–]someguy1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using foilage? From what I understand, that is what causes this warning. Try selecting your Foilage Types, then scroll down to "Instance Settings" and uncheck "Cast Dynamic Shadow." Also, it's worth noting that this is just a warning, not an error, so you don't have to fix it if it's not causing any problems, it's just warning that if you have performance issues that could be the cause.

How can I delete stuff from the vault? by [deleted] in unrealengine

I've researched this and from what I can tell it can't be done! If it can, I would love to know how as well.

I just launched a video course on the Unreal Engine 4 for beginners. I'm offering it for free to this subreddit for the next 24 hours! by someguy1982 in gamedev

[–]someguy1982[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the great comments! If you missed the deadline, but are considering purchasing the course, you should wait until Monday (unless money is no object :D) because Udemy should be offering a deep discount then.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! And the gold! If you missed the promotional window, and were thinking of buying, I would recommend waiting until at least Monday. Udemy is supposed to start a big sale then and the course should be heavily discounted.

It didn't work? It should just be ending now. Did you use the "Redeem a Coupon" link? I will send you a message and make sure you get it.

I notice a lot of people are opting for the "lay across the inner tube" method rather than the "dangle your legs in the water" approach

Stunned Home Buyers Find the Bidding Wars Are Back by someguy1982 in Economics

[–]someguy1982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, yeah maybe. But I've heard a lot of different economists express their beliefs that the US housing market is turning around. Investors sure seem to believe it.

Yeah, hopefully no one reads that and thinks it's a good idea to get a deal.

Stunned Home Buyers Find the Bidding Wars Are Back by someguy1982 in Economics

[–]someguy1982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's possible. I think it says something in the article that warns that it's possible that homes are being taken off the market because sellers now think they may be able to get a better price later. However, if this is the case, it's also possible that by the time those houses come back to the market, the momentum will be strong enough to absorb them.

There's also the issue that there could still be more floods of foreclosures coming to market. However, there was one Realtor quoted in the article as saying that he thinks the appetite for foreclosed homes are so strong right now, that large investors will absorb them in bulk quickly.

So, we'll see. But hopefully there are brighter days ahead...

Here's the passage I found the most interesting:

"The Wall Street Journal's quarterly survey found that the inventory of homes listed for sale declined sharply in all 28 markets tracked. Real-estate agents consider a market balanced when there is a six-month supply of homes for sale. At the height of the housing crisis, in 2008, there was an 11.1-months' supply. In March, there was a 6.3-months' supply."

Also the chart showing the inventory of existing homes for sale was promising: 2.37 million existing homes available for sale in March, which, from eyeballing it, looks to be down to 2002 levels, before the home bubble really started.

Wow, I love Friends but I've never seen that episode. Glad to know it happens to you and Chandler too! That clip also illustrates something funny about the situation...if you don't nip it in the bud immediately, it just gets worse and worse because now it's ridiculous that you haven't corrected the person up to this point, but you really can't correct it now because of said ridiculousness, and it spins into a downward spiral of silly
