  • Unfortunately, those of us that make games in Unreal Engine are stuck writing a lot of C++, unless we want to do everything in BPs (no thanks, they’re fine, but it’s not coding, and it’s difficult to maintain and refactor for complicated projects, they’re good for taking C++ components and building bigger components out of the base C++ functionality though).

    With that said, UE’s support for C++ is decent. Which is, that as long as you tag all your fields, properties, methods, classes, etc. with some UnrealEngine attribute filter (like UCLASS or UPROPERTY), Unreal will handle the memory management of those constructs for you. Which is nice.

    Unfortunately it has some other limitations to the C++ language that you can’t work around, like disallowing pure abstracts because every C++ derivative class based on any UE construct (Actor, Character, Pawn, etc.) has to be instantiatable in the editor. So no pure abstracts and such.

    In general, I’d give it a 6/10.

    It’s still mostly C++, but some of the things suck less.





  • I think it’s framed in the context of: “How dangerous would a single molecule be to a human?”. In that context, I would say O is safe, only because our body naturally destroys the radical oxygen molecules every day that we create with our anti-oxidants.

    True, in a larger quantity than our body can handle, it’s extremely toxic; but a single molecule would probably not be too bad.

    But I do agree, it shouldn’t be Green. It should be Yellow at least.







  • Man, you’re not even hiding the fact that you’re a Russian troll, or at least a very, very bad actor. Just no tact huh?

    Well, yes. And explain to me again how democrats are involved in the DOJ and Justice system pursuing crimes, crimes that trump and his ilk have absolutely committed? Crimes that are mob-like, for a convicted felon, and twice impeached embarrassment of a fucking president.

    Even though Democrats aren’t even involved here, I’d want them to be. I want everyone to be. Fuck trump, fuck that lying piece of shit ex-president crime lord. What a fucking scumbag.

    He’s the god damn most miserable fucking train you could have ever fucking attached your worthless goddamn life to you absolute piece of shit fascist supporting Russian loving dickhead.


  • Yeah, for sure. If you ever want any help/advice/etc. about moving up here if that’s in your cards at some point, feel free to HMU. My wife and I just went through it, as did 2 of my friends who transplanted out of the Austin area to here.

    It’s better on the other side, for sure.

    There’s still a lot of trump/MAGA crazies up here, because they’re roughly 30% of the voting US population; but they lack any real governing or decision making power in the state, and losing more every day.

    We vote by mail, with a guide that tells you the full details (in a large packet) of what every single law, bond, etc. means and how it could affect you along with the background on how that law got onto the ballot.

    Then you just drop it off at the post office box and you’re done. It’s amazing how easy it is to vote compared to Texas.

    And that’s just one of the many things that’s better. :)
