Whoo boy, you don't want to come to Vancouver then It's 1.6M here

At least Vancouver's weather is way more tolerable, since the pacific ocean (and coast) is way warmer than the atlantic.
I have a friend who just moved from London to Vancouver this week, he told me that if you look at the avg temps between both cities during this time of year, you'd think they're about the same, but Vancouver feels way warmer. This actually sent me down one of those internet rabid holes, and turns out there's other aspects to how cold it feels that temperature (C/F) can't read, there's the dew point and relative humidity and others that might or might not be less relevant like how far you are from the arctic jet streams. So since London tends to feel more humid, 10c will feel way colder than 10c in drier location, which will just feel cool.
But yes, fuck the cold man... I can take rainy weather, but I'm not a fan of freezing my ass off!
That explains a lot. When I lived in Japan it wasn't THAT much hotter than Vancouver in the summer but I was dying and taking like 5 showers a day. It was however WAY more humid. Most of my neighbors had rice paddy's and they would flood them in May. During that time I felt like I was drowning just breathing air 
Now I know what people mean when they say "it's not the heat, it's the humidity"

I went on vacation to Montreal a couple years ago in August and absolutely loved it. Way more interesting city that Vancouver when it comes to nightlife and stuff to do. I was seriously considering moving there.
I mentioned my thoughts to the security guard at the hotel we were staying and he said "maybe take another vacation here in December before you decide to move here
Ah interesting, I'll have to take a look at that ent file. obj is totally fine too. Never had any problems with it 
Nice to have someone else around who knows the pain of FBX Thanks for linking that github. That could be useful in the future.
By any chance have you looked at gltf? I notice that Unity and Unreal both support it now. I wonder if the file format is more sane than FBX. Surely it can't be worse haha
Ah I was going to ask about FBX but I know it's a pretty rough format to work with as a programmer so I didn't want to push it
I totally agree with you about in regards to your reasoning. Probuilder is great but it's just not the same as some of the older brush editors. TBH I'm not a fan of unreal's brush system. I've often thought about writing a plugin but I have too many projects so I'm glad people like yourself are doing the hard work haha.
Who that's quite an undertaking. How long did it take you to get to this point?
congratulations on the release!

Pass the business language proficiency test for French and Japanese. Besides that the usual get healthier etc etc stuff
Heh well if you get to a point where you want to play other humans let me know. I'm pretty certain I might actually be the worst go player on the planet though.
Quote from FMPONE19 minutes ago, FMPONE said: I'm only playing it on my phone right now. I don't think it's very popular in the west but maybe totally wrong about that? I just knew there had to be something better than chess but in that same vein.
A dedicated go room sounds fun as hell but I wouldn't even attempt to play on anything but 9x9 because it's too much IMO. I would never beat the computer on a full board, either. I feel like 9x9 Go is something more people would love if they tried it.
It's very popular in programming/computer science circles in my experience. As for the go room, it was fun, but the person who ran the go club was absolutely relentless, even the first time I played. Just destroyed me every time
Also piece of trivia you may already know. Atari chose it's name after the Atari pattern in go (which in Japanese roughly means "success").
Oh boy when I lived in Japan I had a go phase. We had a traditional go room in our building and one of my foreigner co workers had previously ran the go club at waterloo so he talked is all into playing.
To this day I have NEVER beaten the computer..
How are you paying go on computer? I tend to play using gridmaster
Still playing much? My studio shuts down next week for the holidays so I'm planning to get more games in
The French really know how to make electronic music
Getting back into tekken 7 since my company has a fighting games club. Also getting back into UMVC3 because I have a rival in San Diego and they've started learning my characters!
Other than that I'm playing mostly spelunky2. I have the new yakuza game sitting in front of me but I don't know if I'd ever have the time for a JRPG..
We made plans to go here as soon as we can
That park is super fun. I've never seen any harry potter movies or anything but damn if their 3d harry potter roller coaster wasn't something else!
Is this for a specific project?
Quote from FMPONE3 hours ago, FMPONE said: Ultimately there aren't many studios that can do what CDPR just did, that even have that kind of upside. The bad press will hurt them for a minute, but they largely succeeded in doing what they set out to do. The big money simply has few other places else to go. I would be surprised if this rocky launch defined the game beyond launch, there's got to be a pretty decent window of time for them to get stuff fixed and negate the impact.
Having worked on a few of these types of projects in the past, I'm inclined to agree unfortunately..
Quote from FMPONEJust now, FMPONE said: Game presumably still made a gazillion dollars, therefore nothing will fundamentally change within or without of CDPR. The well-being of the people working on it was never a consideration to begin with.
Yeah probably 
FWIW their stock is taking a hit... a minor hit that will probably recover though.
