@klord @psychicparrot42 @sinbad yeah I've had good experiences with the LiveCoding functionality over the past couple of years, but I still tend to work this way a lot of the time, unless I'm doing something where I'm compiling very regularly

New theory:
Modern metal has guitars so far below the range of human hearing, that Orcas are getting all amped up and trying to start pits in the middle of the ocean, that's why they're messing up boats. Mystery solved

Have you ever wanted to reference a DataTable row in an #unreal UPROPERTY, but find it tedious to have to pick the DataTable every damn time? Do you just want to pre-define the table the property is supposed to be referencing, and just pick the row quickly and easily like a boss?

If so, this blog post is for you! https://www.stevestreeting.com/2023/10/06/a-better-unreal-datatable-row-picker/

@kojack I will say that they do have a lot more tools for procedurally placing meshes like that nowadays in UE5. (e.g. the recently released Procedural Content Generation plugin)

@glassbottommeg @k also has a massive learning curve. Extremely powerful once you really get it, but it takes a long time to get to that point.

@glassbottommeg @k yeah I think it's invaluable if you're trying to make a multiplayer game, even just a shooter. Takes so much boilerplate out of client side predicted player abilities.

For singleplayer, especially if less complex, it's overkill.

@charlesrandall @glassbottommeg yeah my wife and I were just talking about that yesterday, as we ordered our food shop. How the hell are people outside of tech (or similarly privileged jobs) affording to buy food, the prices are mad now

@charlesrandall get one of those electric fly swatters so you can pretend to be Luke Skywalker as you vanquish your flying foe

@glassbottommeg I feel like the shit is really going to hit the fan in a year or two, when mortgage deals start expiring and people who are already struggling now have to face a huge jump in their monthly payment
