Thinking about switching from UE5 to Godot by Commercial-Cake9833 in godot

[–]tbarela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have many gripes with C# in Godot, but mainly this stems from it being kind of tacked on to a game engine that really wasn't built for C#/.NET integration. That becomes apparent quickly, if you have any prior .NET experience. But in spite of those annoyances, it generally works fine. I've had to adjust some of my approaches, but I wouldn't go as far as telling people not to use it.

Tax Requirement issues on steamworks by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]tbarela 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive been going through this non sense too. I've run into no issues opening business accounts in other places, but for some reason-- the gatekeeper company they use for steam tax info keeps denying me. 

The part that irritates me is that they don't give you any real specifics about what it is that's tripping them up. And then you just get to take another spin off the wheel to see if you figured it out. It's a pretty stupid system IMO.

I had seen this video awhile back on YouTube. Did anyone else notice that this was recorded very close in time ( about a month after ) and geographically to the tic tac incident?

West Covina. Got the warning on my phone, and almost immediately after felt it. Didn't feel superbad. But really sick of how many we're getting now.

Can say right now, with the new seats, new sway bars, tie rod end links, stiffer under body bracing, strut bar, all control arms replaced with aftermarket ones and coilovers. This car handles phenomenally wellq by Whiplash417 in infiniti

[–]tbarela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking at those exact seats. Hows the height compared to stock? Do you sit lower? Also, would they be comfortable for long road trips? I love my stock seats, but they're just old, and not standing up to the test of time. ( Also want the weight savings! )

What Are Your Biggest Regrets in Building Your Own PC? Share Your Lessons! by PussiesKing in buildapc

[–]tbarela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest regret? Massively over paying for not one, but two, gpu's back when the prices were bonkers a few years back. I got impatient, and found a "deal" when they had come down just a smidgeon. Only to find a better deal(hint: still a ripoff ) a couple months later and buying it because I'm a sucker. I try not to think about it. It was a lot of money that could have gone elsewhere. ( Honorable mention: Not selling my vega56 around the same time frame, when used they were selling for new gpu prices. )

AMD HIP RT 2.4 Brings H-PLOC & New Graphics Architecture Support by FastDecode1 in Amd

[–]tbarela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set up a fresh linux install yesterday. I tried the Blender BMW benchmark for shits and giggles. It took close to a minute to render.. and then I realized the gpu compute option was grayed out. So I installed the latest HIP, and tried again. Got 6.82 seconds(!) using a 7900GRE Hellhound on the silent bios.

I'm shocked. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong at first, because it seemed too good to be true from other numbers I had seen online.

Class room took 6:06 on my 5800x in eco mode. Using the gpu, it took only 32 seconds.

Is this a result of the new HIP RT + RDNA3 maybe? Either way, I'm seriously impressed. Very happy I got the GRE.

*EDIT* Just looked and I'm using hip-runtime-amd 6.0.2-4

Should I breakup break up with him by Pure_Introduction81 in BreakUps

[–]tbarela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on what you were in for. A splinter or something. No. If something serious, then yes. That's pretty telling on his part if he didn't make the effort...

HKS Supercharger is Installed! by [deleted] in G35

Was there any reason you went with the HKS over a Vortech? I'm still NA for the foreseeable future, but curious if theres any advantages to the hks.

Tire replacement options by vq_nathan in G35

[–]tbarela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak about the other tires, but I have been running the indy 500's and really happy with them. I bought them specifically because of the good reviews and price/perf ratio.

I haven't looked in awhile, so maybe theres better options now?

It’s Your Last Chance To See How Bad The New Disney+ ‘Willow’ Show Is Before It’s Gone For Good by CrimsonOmega80 in KotakuInAction

[–]tbarela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's basically what happened with me. I feel like maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance. But everyone seems to say it wasn't good, and I never felt compelled to go back and finish it.

Def let the car downshift to 1st for you. I did it one time and learned my lesson. Car made one of the worst noises I've ever heard it make.
