Any man who has actually been a lonely virgin that long would fold instantly over a rich hag trying to seduce them, I'm 36 and a virgin for fuck's sake it wouldn't be hard lol. You married guys have no idea how bad it is out there. As long as she's not a single mom or anything most women have a chance just by being nice to men.

To protect my sanity I've decided I've hate played BG3 enough. Maybe at a 50% discount which I've sometimes seen you could justify a few playthroughs but holy shit. They claim it's finished, but there are multiple game stopping bugs in it that break your progress in the decision tree not to mention To do an actual honest review of the game as well if you guys ever get tempted. The story writing definitely screams a mix of Tumblr fanfiction and theatre kid reddit. Whenever you encounter the cults etc. in the game the voice acting is exactly like. The game dances the line of woke frequently and I think that's why so many gamers could put up with it but it's definitely there especially in the design of the NPCs because they all look like they took modern day millennials and plonked them in a fantasy world and there's no getting around the fact that it's extremely jarring. Combat is incredibly meh and your average turn based affair, ironically if it stuck to more traditional aspects of turn based RPG I think it would have done better. Adding cartoonishly tall ladders for a height advantage and also the jump mechanics was a terrible idea. The navigation meshes seem very off for the jump mechanics in particular and because this game was clearly designed for a console you can't control your party members very well because you constantly have to ungroup/group them to cycle through and move them one by one. In a PC version of this game that was design properly you'd just drag or shift select, very annoying and shows they were being lazy. I was a pretty big Larian fan back in the day because Divinity Original Sin 2 is a genuinely good game BG3 frequently drops the ball purely looking at it as a game. I'm not wholly against RNG when it's done well but the "miss, miss, miss" no matter what setup you pick gets really exhausting so you just end up being very reliant on AoE which are your only guaranteed hit chance weirdly enough. Hate the dice rolls in everything, it would be one thing if I could turn them off but that's easily the worse part of the game. Normies try to claim it's D&D immersion but it just encourages save scumming because there are certain sections where a wrong dice roll will instantly kill your character and end the game which is stupid and takes away player agency. Unnecessary cameo appearances everywhere in Act 3 in particular, they just wanted to force the characters into the story so it feels very inconsistent compared to the overall plot. It's sad because I love my RPGs, if BG3 hadn't been wokified it might have been an okay title at least, but the dice rolls, ladders and jump mechanics definitely ruin it. The people who praised this game originally didn't even get past Act 2. Keep in mind as well BG3 had the covid wave behind it, I think that's a big reason behind it's success. Larian are going to be in for a big disappointment if they think they can get away with the same shit again with their new Divinity game. TLDR: I hate played BG3 so you don't have to if you ever get tempted by the discounts, maybe if you can get it for -£15 it will be worth it lol.

These days the glowies are all about cartoon racism and blatantly trying to goad people into violence by posting about how we need to 'get out into the streets'. They've gotten pretty shit at their opsec. Biggest giveaway by far though has to be how they act like they're the 'real' patriots and spam that too much.

It's remarkable how you can track the propaganda real time now from specific accounts just by paying attention.

Definitely back to regular sperging now so that's good. Just to make me even more paranoid in the UK I'm seeing rumours that the British police do indeed like to destroy peoples' devices when they hold them for 'evidence'.

Yep, not letting that happen to my code after all this time.

Oh and it looks like remarkably Starmer is backing down and backing Andy Burnham if he wins lol oh this is going to be good.

Oh thank fuck, made chicken stew and obliterated it, now I'm shamelessly pigging out on orange chocolate lol, going to collapse asleep.

That awkward moment when women's shitposting about being quirky and on SSRIs finally catches up to them and we realise that yes they are all that crazy.

Trying so hard not to sperg about my country now but the clowning is just too fucking much. Apparently they're limiting the speed of a new trainline which was specifically designed to cut down on travel time. Simply existing in this country is utterly rage inducing.

I've got some major theories about how CA did their turn management after studying their games for so long. I'm working out the variable setup and taking a brave pill to try and implement it all.

I suspect a heavy amount of for loops and basic variable checks are involved. Could well be something as simple as them cycling through a 'faction' array of some kind per turn and that's how they calculate everything.

Their AI isn't even as complicated as they make it out to be, it's the most basic bitch shit ever but like Paradox they try to fool people with scale.

Ooooo! Oooo! Bingo! Got the maths in my head now I can spawn in an empty to deal with the click logic like with the click ring and have it do a distance calculation between that and the selected unit.

Have that count down the travel distance left and we're good. I can put in some boolean checks to prevent any unwanted behaviour. A click for a turn based game should be a deciding move and you shouldn't be able to course correct so I'm fine with that.

Yeah, I understand now, no wonder there aren't any tutorials on this and it's all about hexagon tiles or JRPGs.

Ooooo I hope they replace him with Wes Streeting, that would be delicious. Him and Andy Burnham have been people the labour activists are propping up and touting quite a bit, looks like something will happen tomorrow.

Wtf? lol I just woke up what's going on?

Yayyy! Now I'm properly rested again, back to regularly scheduled sperging!

Been there with Blender LOL.

Gonna sperg out, gonna sperg out :D

This is why learning to cook in this day and age is an extremely useful skill.

What's funny is this has happened to pretty much all of the GG lot. Only Sargon of Akkad and Count Dankula got smart and branched off to do other things. Sargon of Akkad has stepped back and let the lotus eaters grow as it's own platform which is doing reasonably well for itself and Count Dankula was always into comedy anyway. This is the inevitable fate of any virtue signalling content creator that doesn't grow beyond ranting about politics. Anyone can do that now on X thanks to Elon Musk for the most part. You know they've fucked up as well when even ShoeOnHead is doing better than they are because she's being reasonably balanced and not bombarding people with commentary slop. I think people are really fed up with that content now, I know I am.

I should have done this ages ago, this is fucking easy but I guess you need to learn the engine properly first. The next thing is going to have the player unit distance calculated.

Oh random rant, I was enjoying watching Mairimashita! Iruma-kun overall so far and then halfway through I realised they turned my high school demon drama into some cringe idol anime arc for the season. That was extremely annoying and broke the pacing for me.

The more I work out the maths and the code for turn based strategy the more questions I have about how CA keep managing to fuck up something so basic.

If I can get this turn based management system working I'll be able to break my addiction to broken games just like with Fallout New Vegas lol.

The more I learn game dev especially with how much experience I'm getting now the more questions I have about the AAA workflow. I would love to get some kind of industry insider leaking me shit so I know what's going on.

Ahhhhhh after a couple of days it feels like things are going to calm down a ton. Can start sperging properly on all the bugs I've got to fixed to make all the new code work cleanly.

Going very easy on myself with the cooking now so that I can settle into a proper dev sperg session once I've gotten RL stuff out of the way this week and I know the deep fryer works.

Oh it looks like Starmer is going down now, they're all publicly denouncing him, I might celebrate.

Bit of a sneak peek showing the new turn based setup I've been working on, will be doing a massive amount of work once I'm back after RL family stuff tomorrow.

Playing around with UE5's UI again, I could do all sorts with this, going to focus on path visualisation and turn management for now. I was right to clone the project because it's not necessary going to be pure RPG mechanics for a grand strategy.

I'm so going to do fried chicken once I learn how to clean the fryer properly lol should be fine, apparently I need a funnel which makes sense so you just put it in a bag and then in the bin.

Distance calculations I think next for my turn based game movement, probably need to think about visualising a lot more too.

It's so fucking funny seeing British people and westerners generally talk about which country to move to and it's just them cycling through New Zealand, Australia, Canada etc. as options. You immediately know they're lefties too because they don't regard America as an option because muh mass shootings.

They don't understand that rural America is insanely low crime, they only want to live in the shithole cities. I'm so fucking grateful for that though but I do feel sorry for the kiwis and aussies lol.

Yep I was right, there are quite a few custom variables I need to write up for the turn based behaviour alone it's a good thing I made the switch to a new project. The other RPG project can be maybe my default one and then I clone it for very specific types of games.

Legal mindset doing a great summary of what's going on with TheQuartering, what the fuck LOL. Now I understand why people have gotten mad at him. Looks like he's been getting up to all sorts of weird spergy behaviour in the background that I didn't notice.

Oh well I don't really watch any of these people anymore anyway.

I know you guys think that, but seriously, look at some of the women you've seen lately exposing themselves on social media. This is the shit and average British guy has to deal with on the daily and why I'm a social recluse, I don't go outside lol.

Okay, this is surprising because I haven't looked at this sort of thing in decades but it explains why van conversions are a thing. As it turns out it's dead easy to deal with all of this stuff on the cheap if you want to.

Hmmmm ideas :P but that's for a bit later in life.

Beginning to think with some of the lame pacing issues have that letting the anime episodes run about halfway is usually a good idea. By then they've established the plot properly and I can binge watch it without getting interruptions in the story then continue.

Oh this is big, Restore Britain have in fact fielded their candidate for the by election, Reform activists are going to be so fucking angry lol. Apparently the date will be June 18th? A lot can happen in that time this is going to be very interesting.

The biggest challenge I think is creating the loop for getting through the AI movement but I did the autism on Total War games enough that I know what's going on now.

Oh I'm sperging out so fucking hard.

Balancing these projects is going to be tricky but it is way more interesting than just smashing my head against a wall when I'm lost. Just need to be careful that I don't feed my grand strategy addiction too much, I love capturing settlements and grinding turns lol.

Without too many details being given away I foresee having to go to a lot of places in the middle of nowhere in my life thanks to my family lol. This is why I've been looking at van conversions.

I want to see what kind of cheapo ghetto versions are available so I have some proper consistency going on and be comfortable. You realise what your family is like and yes they're family and everything but you just don't trust them to be organised about anything.

Gimme a Starlink setup and an A/C unit along with some other goodies and I will be a happy bunny.

IT'S NOT EVEN DECEMBER YET, I KNOW EVERYONE IS DEPRESSED BUT CALM DOWN.
