Talk about anything

I saw... AppLovin was asking a lot of the company from them. It may actually have been the better choice. AppLovin was going to take what, seventy-some percent of the profits? I thought it was ridiculous, myself. Unity probably wouldn't have been able to survive if they agreed to it.

Nice quote here:
"We turn down Satan's offer, and instead will hire Beelzebub as our new advertisement integration officer."

They're in trouble either way, but I understand the rationale. If they went with AppLovin, it would basically be an exit. It is a lot of money, but that would be it. At least with IronSource, they have chance for more growth, so I guess they want to take the gamble. Personally, I think they are dumb, and the whole thing has been mismanaged since Riccitiello took over, but who am I to judge?

Nerdzmasterz

cybereality Part of me wonders if they're relying on users to use their services a bit too much? They should try to get out of the rut they're in by making other apps, games, and other products IMHO. I mean, it's a team that works on a game engine- they should be able to pump out content that would blow others out of the park. It would be good advertising for them as well.

Again, just an opinion.

I scanned my phone twice with BitDefender. I don't remember what results I got the first time when I scanned it but, everything seems fine the second time I scanned it; no problems popped up. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

It could be something on the account settings. You might want to check on your web browser for the ISP. That should show the correct credits. Might also be a good idea to change the password. It's possible someone hacked your account and are using your credits on their phone. I would recommend a long random password, I use LastPass, but there are other managers that are good. KeePass is free and open source, but it's a little harder to sync. Use a random password with lower and uppercase characters, numbers, and symbols. 16 characters long should be the minimum, but you could do longer like for your email account or banks. That seems like the most likely problem.

cybereality Might also be a good idea to change the password.

Apologies for the nub, can there be a keylogger on phones?

Technically yes, but it is unlikely. My guess is that the password got out (through a leak, weak password, hack, etc.) not on the phone. Especially if the virus scan came up empty, BitDefender should find most common stuff.

I'm half way through Carter, taking a break...

Fights are very cool and very violent.
But the camera work is really annoying.
I love the moving camera in The Raid, it feels like it's part of the fights. Hardcore Henry's first person camera is cool. But in Carter the camera moves all over the place, goes low frame rate jerky then back to normal, alternates between extreme shaky cam and stabilized motion. Half the time it feels like they were more interested in showing off their drone camera than filming the movie.
Like in the bath house fight where the camera flies up into the ceiling, over the support beams, then comes back down, all while watching Carter stand there.

Certainly interesting, but I'd like it more if the camera man calmed down for a few minutes! 🙂

cybereality

Yeah, they kind of went overboard with the drone acrobatics. I mean, it's cool, but a lot of it is for show. But it makes for a unique experience at least. Jung Byung-gil, the director, did The Villainess as well (2017) and I thought that was much better done, since it was a theatrical release. The camera work was also a little shaky, but he did some great first person (the whole first 15 minutes is like one unbroken shot ala Hardcore Henry) and the motorcycle chases are better. Villainess was a serious movie, though, Carter was meant to be more over the top almost comedic.

Kojack

Cool. I can definitely see the skill in fight choreography there, he just embraced camera gymnastics too much. 🙂
I'll try The Villainess tomorrow.

So tired of cyclic dependency errors... 🙁

GDscript ?

Yes. It's easy to fix -- just use variants instead of class-typed variables -- but it's irritating to have to do that. And, of course, the error messages would be a huge snarl of useless if I didn't remember what I'd changed.

New here. Hi!

At work porting games from web to Godot.
Just had covid so now my taste is screwed up. My beloved coffe taste horrible. I don't know how I am going to cope with this 🙂. Anyone have some tip of a good coffeinated beverage?

Shouldn't last too long.

Nerdzmasterz

Hi, @dlccmind ! I hear ya about the lack of taste, covid is awful. I have noticed I was able to taste sodas somewhat when I had it.

Lol. I sometimes get the feeling I am the only dev looking to build VR games at this rate. In Godot, Unity... Wondering if I should I just jump to Unreal and try to go through heck to figure it out again for the sake of VR development? I love the platform, but Unity changed so much I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

Megalomaniak

Nerdzmasterz Lol. I sometimes get the feeling I am the only dev looking to build VR games at this rate.

If I had a VR headset perhaps I'd try too, but the only ones I could possibly afford are the kind I'd absolutely not want to touch even with a 10 foot pole. you know the stand alone kind like Quest 2. Then again, supposedly one can get PSVR to work with PC's...

Nerdzmasterz

Megalomaniak I have a Quest 2. It's a pain, I'd rather have just about anything else. I only got it for development purposes, though I do play a little bit.

Nerdzmasterz

Stronger flavors "might" be tasted.
