The C++ side of Source has hands dude. One minute everything works great, and then the next 7 hours are spent reading the ancient texts to find out what that obscure function that everyone is using actually does after finding the Valve wiki page for it and it just says "TODO: Make this more clear"

I appreciate the advice, I did spray some in there. However, at the top, to the right of the paper roller is what looks like a gear made of Bakelite instead of metal. Unfortunately, I must report that it is missing 3 consecutive teeth where there definitely should be teeth.

Unsure if it needs a calibration or if something internal is truly broken beyond repair, but it has different answers for different orders of the same inputs, and the total has "trouble" clearing itself.

Well, speaking of that, I just got the motion moving again. None of the answers are right, but they are... mostly consistent. He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit.

I have always had a soft spot for mechanical computers, they're just so interesting. I have what I believe to be a Victor 6-83-4. The model number is a bit confusing so I may get that wrong. Unfortunately, mine is stuck halfway through a lever pull of adding 1 to an empty register, and won't return.

Imo the biggest issue with Unreal 5 is that it's an insanely large toolset with thousand sof things you can tweak, but they don't have good documentation. It's like getting home with a 10,000 piece lego set and having half the instruction book

As far as the AI goes, it sounds too complex or has memory mismanagement issues. I'm not one to shill for UE5 by any means, the graphics pipeline is powerful but leads to lots of lazy decisions that makes games run poorly from rendering alone. I would just wait and hope they optimize and fix bugs

15.05.2025 17:00 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

That sounds like the fault of the programmer. Being that I develop in UE5 I can say that the language is very fast. It's C++ so if you make the mistake of having a null pointer reference or accessing a NULL variable the OS will kill it for violating memory access.

Two comic frames of Mark Grayson in Invincible. Top frame he says "oh God. The Joe." Bottom frame he Says "it's too sloppy." He is in fact covered in blood.

I got the same result as you did, and while I'm not an artist in the same sense with what I do, it's not a wrong result. Pretty interesting! In my case I just applied it to my hobbies, namely recreations of historical tanks in games 'n' such.

Went to a restaurant alone and they gave me what I call the "Sad old man table" where they stuff you in the far corner of the restaurant so other patrons don't have to see a guy eating alone LOL. Pretty comfy to be honest.
