Every time we start a new multiplayer project in Unreal, it feels like we fall into the same loop again, sessions not showing up, join failing randomly, different behavior between Steam and EOS, and somehow we end up spending more time fixing session flow than actually working on the game. We usually think we figured it out once, but next project it’s like starting from zero again, same setup, same bugs, slightly different reasons. But instead of going through that again, we tried to simplify the whole thing for ourselves, like what if the flow was just one button, it searches for a session, if one exists it joins, if not it creates one, no menus, no extra steps, just something that works so we can move on. We ended up building a small system around that idea, mainly to avoid repeating the same setup over and over, and it actually made testing and iteration way easier than before. Later we just put it on Fab as Scar MultiSession since we were already using it anyway, but that’s not really the point here. I’m more curious how others are handling this, do you guys: rebuild your own system every time stick with the default OSS flow or use something like advanced sessions Feels like everyone has a different way of dealing with this, wondering what actually works long term. submitted by /u/BlackScarStudios [link] [comments]

I’ve been working as a pastry chef for about a decade. Baking has always been the thing I come back to no matter where I’ve worked or what I’ve done. Recently, I started thinking seriously about creating my own small product line on the side. I still have a full-time, pretty demanding job, so this would be something I build slowly over time. At first, I was really excited about starting with cookies. It felt like a natural, approachable first product — something I could test, refine, and scale easily. But the more I look around in Toronto, the more I feel like the cookie space is completely saturated. Every café, bakery, and even home baker seems to have a cookie program. And now I’m stuck in this weird place where I can’t tell if: I’m overthinking the competition or if I’m actually walking into a space where it’s hard to stand out without a very clear niche What’s making it harder is that I don’t just want to “sell cookies.” I want to build something that feels thoughtful and has a clear identity. But I also don’t want to overcomplicate things and end up never starting at all. So I guess I’m at this crossroads: Do I still start with cookies and figure it out as I go? Or should I be trying to find a more specific angle before I even begin? Has anyone here been in a similar situation where you had experience, ideas, but got stuck trying to choose the “right” entry point? Would really appreciate any thoughts or experiences. submitted by /u/LastMove1203 [link] [comments]

This Critically Acclaimed Batman Game Needs to Be Adapted in James Gunn’s DCU GameRant

It seems like every couple of months the algorithms of my life present me with some multimillionaire who is outraged he isn’t being taxed enough. Here’s the latest incarnation of that manipulation. Up until recently, these self-flagellating pleas for more taxation used to annoy me. What makes anyone, let alone a One-Percenter, believe the government would be a better steward of his charity than him? If I were a billionaire, and I wanted to help my city, the last thing I would want to do is surrender more of my money to the government. Government is the mother of all blackholes. More money in simply means more money for useless bureaucrats, consultants, and NGOs. Nope, if I were a billionaire, I would pick one or two problems that really affected the quality of life for the working class and devote my wealth to fixing those problems. Paying a crew to clean up vacant lots and paint over graffiti, or picking up the dental tab for a thousand new smiles every year, would do infinitely more for my city than giving my mayor and councilmembers more tax dollars to spend. No more. I’m done protecting Morris and his rich buddies from their mindless faith in government. But only on one condition. The total tax obligation of the bottom 99- or 90-percent is capped at 25 percent. The total federal tax bite can’t be more than 15 percent of any non-rich person’s income, and the total combined state and local tax bite can’t be more than 10 percent of any non-rich person’s income. As long as these caps are in place, I’m all for giving the rich what they want. Tax the mother-effing shit out of them! Someone has to pay the 400K salaries of all those nepo-relatives running all those NGOs that are great at engineering “mostly peaceful protests,” but suck the big one at engineering actual solutions to actual problems.
