The Still New What Did You Last Do Thread
Re: The New What Did You Last Do Thread
So apparently Amazon dot com bought CryEngine and rebranded it as their own free game engine, Lumberyard, which promises tight integration with Twitch and Amazon Web Services...
https://aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/
I tried CryEngine a long time ago but its documentation was very scarce, then I gave up. Looks like they've added some node-based scripting like Unreal Engine 4 though...
What I am actually more surprised to hear about is Amazon getting into games development. o_O

My dorm (BTW I'm at a boarding school, not college) instituted a rule where everyone in the dorm can only play video games from 8:30-10:00 PM. It sucks.

Re: The New What Did You Last Do Thread
It's a fork of CryEngine - Amazon paid something like $50 million to get the rights to do that, and Crytek kind of didn't have much room to argue since they were on the brink of bankruptcy at the time. They plan on diverging further from Crytek's code as time goes on.Nash wrote:So apparently Amazon dot com bought CryEngine and rebranded it as their own free game engine, Lumberyard, which promises tight integration with Twitch and Amazon Web Services...

As for Amazon's gamedev aspirations, they bought Double Helix (Strider reboot, Killer Instinct Season One) a few years ago as the base for their own dev studio, but up until now they've mostly been doing mobile stuff. Sounds like they're expanding out...
As for my day, I'm a boring piece of shit so I've never broken anything or whatever before, so today was the first time I've ever gotten an X-Ray to figure out what's wrong with my organs.
For what was essentially having a photograph of my insides taken with a blast from a radiation gun, it was depressingly uneventful. There wasn't even a cool electromechanical whining sound!

Re: The New What Did You Last Do Thread
The color blind test is actually a pretty good way to trick your mind to believing that there are 2 numbers.
Its actually a brain teaser from the show called Brain Games.
It looks like your seeing 2 different numbers there 74 and 71 but there's actually one number but your eyes and your brain are thinking that there 2 numbers there. The right answer to that color blind picture is 74.
And yes its a common thing that you do when you visit your eye doctor.

i'm sure if anyone of us were color-blind on this forum, we'd have noticed it by now...

Re: The New What Did You Last Do Thread
I believe it's 71.
Re: The New What Did You Last Do Thread
Intresting. Depending on the shading around the 1, it could be argued that it's 71 or 74, as there is distinctive shading for the crossbar, but not actually quite the same colour as the 1.YukesVonFaust wrote:I believe it's 71.
It should be noted that these tests are not designed to be jpeg compressed or resized for this exact reason, which is why I wonder why hellsmith even bothered to upload it.
Re: The New What Did You Last Do Thread
I have bad eye sight so in a quick glance it looks like 71, BUT I can see it as 74 if I squint/look closer
Re: The New What Did You Last Do Thread
It's due to the color quantization artifacts. It's supposed to be pretty clearly 74.Nash wrote:I have bad eye sight so in a quick glance it looks like 71, BUT I can see it as 74 if I squint/look closer

Re: The New What Did You Last Do Thread
I see 24.
I've been diagnosed with what I can only call a "shade deficiency", in the sense that I'm not colourblind, but there are certain shades of colour that I can't distinguish between.
Yet, in the very same eye checkup I was diagnosed in, I took a test that's often used when applying for a driver's license, and to my shock and my doctor's, I got it 100% correct. Twice. So go figure

I really doubt anyone here is making mistakes due to poor vision instead of that horrible JPEG quality.
