winter can be good and all because it's cozy but it's awful for doing washing
Anno
also you'll freeze if you live somewhere like north america
Anno
Eh, there's parts of North America that you can go outside in shorts and a t-shirt in the middle of winter.
Anno
That's true, I forget places like Texas, . It's such a big place after all, with plenty of biodiversity.
Anno
*plenty of room for*
Anno
Geography can have a considerable impact too. Despite being pretty far north, it rarely drops below freezing in south-western British Columbia. Which sure, probably isn't shorts and t-shirt weather for most people. But it's still pretty damn mild.
well I suppose judging from the attitude of moe players it can only go up in terms of gameplay
Anno
I've had a maigraine all day. It is annoying, I've drank plently of water so its dehydration. I'd like to be free of this.
Anno
Yeah, head pain sucks. Once I start feeling a headache coming on it seems like my only good course of action is to take a painkiller and wait it out.
Anno
I have never had a headache last all day without abating I want to shoot myself in the head
Anno
I don't think I'ver had a migraine that and I have no idea what symptoms I'm looking for
Anno
For me a maigraine is an intense pain over one eye. so over my left eye I had a strong pain. It usually subsides after a while but today I've had it all day and its driving me crazy
Anno
For the longest time I always just thought a migraine was like a super-headache or something. I wasn't aware it's a name for a particular kind of head pain in a region of the head. I don't get pains above my eye that often, I usually get focused pain in one of my temples. Don't know how long it takes for the pain to go away though, since I'll always just take a painkiller for it.
Anno
it doesn't have to be over the eyes but it seems to be a common trait. it can be on one side or the other side of your head and usually painkillers don't work. but I've never had to take them for it because I avoid taking painkillers
Anno
>>515538 How much water did you drink? I sometimes get headaches even when I drnk plenty of water drink
Anno
>>515545 I drank a about 2 litres. I thought it was dehydration but it didn't seem to get better with more water. I actually felt // I feel some pain in my neck too.
I went to bed early today about 3 hours ago but I woke up sweaty bout 30 minutes or so ago I also noticed my mood was pretty subdued today, It might be my sleep. I haven't been sleeping for very long recently
Anno
Dehydration is apparently the most common cause of a headache but it's definitely not the only one. Sleep deprivation is another common cause, along with pressure changes in your environment.
I definitely notice an upswing in how many headaches I deal with in the spring, when there's a lot of bariometric fluctuation in the air.
>>515546 If you're also feeling slight muscle ache and waking up sweaty, you might have a slight fever. But I'm not a doctor so take this with grains of salt.
Anno
I usually know when I have a fever, it is really noticeable for me. the only other unusual thing today was when I finished eating dinner, I had a sharp pains in my stomach and chest out of nowhere. I hate when I mention shit like this to a doctor and they are like "does this happen more than one day or is this still happening" and I say it stopped for now but it'll come back rarely like in few months I'll have chest pain or something.
Anno
yeah I don't think any licensed doctor would give me something unmarked and some salt for a migraine
Anno
It just annoys me that these pains tend to space themselves out so much that going to doctor isn't too fruitful.
Anno
there's just some doctor visits that aren't worth it
>>515565 It appears so Two years ago Devolver tweeted interest about it to Fromsoft or something. So we might be getting a pc port or something like that
It would be neato to be able to make a indie game. Is there something like E3 for indie games?
Anno
Well E3 will usually feature indie development games that have caught the popular eye. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo will usually reserve a part of their segment to showcase indie games they've chosen to favour. Nintendo in particular I think does a lot of indie showcasing during their E3-long Treehouse booth.
I wonder why certain things look realistic or really good but after a few years they look terrible. like games can look amazing then you play them again after years and they look terrible.
Because new things come out that give you higher standards to compare to?
>>515621 We probably never do objectively look at things Also consider that if you've played the game once already then the wow factor will have worn off and you'll be more likely to be taking a closer look Also with newer things that lack those imperfections, the imperfections standout a lot more
Anno
>>515620 I guess but it feels like you never objective look at something, like now I can see lots of imperfections but before I feel like I was blind to them
>>515621 misquote >>515620 Yeah, there are some games I think are timeless. Like I really like aesthetic of shogun 2 even though it is old by this point. I think its one of the only 3D games I don't get bothered by how it looks.
Oh some games are timeless looking to be sure Some age far better than others Yoshis Island is a game that looked good when it came out, still looks good, and will always look good
>>515626 I played a little borrowing from someone else's library. it was pretty nice looking.
It reminds me of far cry, far cry when it first came out I thought it was absolutely breathtaking when I play it now I feel like it really shit and I must have had brain damage when I played it
Anno
>>515625 2D games are generally a lot more insulated from aging poorly than 3D games though. Doubly so when they steer far clear of any manner of realism whatsoever.
Though I guess 3D games that don't strive for realistic graphics also can age pretty well. Like Wind Waker looks really pretty even in modern standards.
Anno
I thought HL2 was stunning but it has aged now. It'd be nice if games just continually updated as time when by
>>515631 Exactly, Windwaker is a simple looking game that isn't trying to look realistic When you're trying to emulate real life, there's so many little details and moving parts that you have to get right. When the next generation comes along with more power, new games will probably make yours look worse in comparison. But a stylised art style like wind wakers doesn't have to worry about that, since it doesn't have to emulate so many aspects of real life.
>>515636 I bet if they could find a way to make their games age worse on purpose so we'd hav // have to buy their new ones, they would do it
Like the fluid mechanics in some games look incredible and then the next generation games come along with even better water and reflections and shadows. It is weird how you think things can be improved more and they do get improved. I wonder if game devs just make a really good psychologist and make games that looks good just at that moment, of course I am joking
Anno
>>515635 Also with new games, you're also likely to be wrapped up in the experience of playing, overcoming the challenge, and what not. You might take moments to breathe in the visuals here and there, but a game that keeps you engaged in the playthrough will likely not have you thinking on the visuals as a major focus. But once you beat the game once and things are familiar to you, you're more likely now to be looking at the game in a wider scope, and you'll likely pick up now on where the graphics aren't all that good.
I get this with Ocarina of Time these days. The game is lovely and still fun to play but the visuals, man. They have not aged well.
Anno
I used to play HL2 a lot just for the visuals so // but I can understand the argument about focus not being on the visuals all the time. but I keep playing games I think are realistic as a form of escapism. It is weird to find your brain seems to ignore things like some games I // or even 3D images I though were photo realistic but now I don't see them as photo realistic. hell, you can look at some really old game reviews and see how they found things photo-realistic
Anno
Well your brain - the human brain that is - is pretty trash at processing some aspects of visual information. Even if you're playing a game to admire the visuals, you're still probably playing the game. Once your focus isn't entirely on them, your brain starts to do its things with throwing out some of the visual information it's receiving or formulating assumptions on what is there without really processing the sight. It's like those optical illusions where you stare at the centre of something and your brain makes up details in the fringe of your vision.
>>515639 I find it interesting how we can read things in the peripherals but it can be made up by the brain when you are reading text in the middle of your vision
Anno
>>515640 Oh I understand how, it works out how to separate two different voices from mixed audio that is pretty impressive. and useful
i’m massaging my tense neck with a lacrosse ball mmm mmm
Anno
>>515640 What a shame I can't find the program they used, it'd be really useful for me
Anno
yeah I can't exactly see it on their git
Anno
It could be really neato if it was able to work with out visuals too *without but I saw one of their examples separate dub from original language which would be amazing since there so many good videos in Japanese like interviews that have dubbed over english
Anno
I wonder how they deal with destructive sound patterns maybe they know how reconstruct portions of the background audio?
Anno
>>515649 I found this: https://github.com/vishwajeet97/Cocktail-Party-Problem
Anno
I resolved my busted tablet pen problem by adopting my imouto's old table t that she upgraded from a bit back. All I had to do was get a replacement power cable. The funny thing is, the tablet is still an improvement from what I was drawing on before with like double the surface area to draw on. But this comes at the cost of me having to abandon the old bad habits I had of being able to use my wrist and still move the pen from one side of the surface to the other. Now I've got to actually move my arm to draw.
Anno
What kind of tablet do you have?
Anno
I had (have, really) an old Wacom Intuos4 tablet, and then the pen borked. Instead of paying for an eighty-dollar pen replacement that I wasn't even sure would interface with my ancient tablet, I picked up my imouto's Huion 610.
Anno
I have an Intuos 4 too! I should use it more.
Anno
Yeah, I think I remember you talking about that. Honestly even with the size improvement I do kind of miss my Wacom tablet. It's a bit weightier and the pen doesn't need a charge. The pen's also weightier too. The Wacom tablet is also better suited to left-handed people since you can turn it upside-down and the driver has options to take that into account and let you use the macro keys. This Huion tablet says it should, but I can't find the option.
>>515658 Close, but mine's a different generation or something. Mine didn't have those panels next to the macro keys. Everything else looks about the same.
This one? I practiced a fair bit on it but I got fustrated with myself and stopped drawing. I really need to pick back up. >>515657 I am always worried about wearing out the nubs. I'm heavy handed.
Anno
I never wore out a nib I think. Granted I didn't exactly pour hours and hours into drawing on the tablet. I'd swap nibs out from time to time when I was trying to problem-solve a glitchy pen, but I don't think the problem was ever actually a worn-out nib.
I think all my nubs are // nibs are fine but I just worry about since even with a normal pencil I can press to hard at certain times
Anno
I have good control with a pencil because of the immediate visual feedback. Most programs for illustration and digital painting have pretty thorough pressure feedback though, which does help me keep in mind how much pressure I'm applying. But stuff like FlockMod/Draw which doesn't account for pressure at all can mess with me since I get really tunnel-vision'd once I'm focused in on something. I'll end up clenching the pen so hard I'm cramping my hand and I'm definitely putting more pressure onto the tablet than I need. It's another bad habit I ideally would work out of, but I don't break habits easily.
Anno
Its too hot at night. and I can't open my window because of the smell of manure dumped in the garden just outside my window
>>515672 the original is kind of boring in comparison i guess that's kind of the point of remixing the song though it's an old song though >>515673 what a time to be alive
>>515676 i'd just end up bored i'll work until i die wish i had a more interesting job though >>515677 why do i even need to sleep anyway i could make way more money and play way more games with an extra 6 hours
Kirara 🚗
we'll work for ourselves
Maria
>>515679 I bet sleep is a conspiracy they made up to sell us beds and pillows See through it, don't go to bed
>>515694 I finished it last night It was a very good show and I liked it, although there's a lot of details I think I missed. Like why did humanity need to evolve in the first place? The humans on the surface roll over and die but I don't see why they don't just keep breathing. I probably missed or somehow forgot something I liked Yoshiie a lot. {spoiler]did somebody say matsuri? I think I heard somebody say matsuri[/spoiler] Wow that spoiler messup
>>515699 >logical leap Yeah as much as I love the show, this is an aspect I didn't really get It takes this nihilistic attitude of "dude everything is FUCKED" but the reasons why everything is fucked feel contrived
>>515699 It's like Ichise says though, at least those people were living. The surface has such little impulse and intensity to it Yeah that's what makes Yoshii so interesting. He's just an ordinary dude who decided to spend his short remaining life fucking around instead of slowly waiting to die
>>515695 it takes a little bit of a logical leap to understand but basically the humans on the surface knew that humanity was doomed and were all losing their will to live for some reason everyone that was thought to have a chance of survival were sent underground and they became the Class. but the traits that increased their chance of survival, the will to live and fight and all that just caused the citizens of lux to go at each other's throats. the people on the surface are barely even people anymore, that girl I forgot the name of, the doctor calls them "Ghosts" and i'm not sure if that means they're actually dead or just devoid of the human instincts and survival sense
but in the end the people they sent to Lux to survive just started wiping each other out until someone crazy enough to pull the trigger did it.
Yoshii was a cool character. I liked how calm he seemed even while such horrid shit is going down because of him. I also like that he was just a normal person with a normal office job but when everyone else started losing the will to do anything he decided to just cause chaos. If he's going down the rest of the human race is coming with him !
>>515695 A lot of things in Texhnolyze are really vague and that's not inherently bad but the explanation for just how exactly everything got so fucked up was kind of dumb. There's got to be a bigger reason why but I'm not sure if it's really relevant to the plot honestly. It's more interesting when it's focusing on the man who will do anything it takes to live and not the people who don't care.
Also, I don't think humanity needed to evolve at all. That was all a production of the Class' solipsist crazy figurehead. The issue was that humanity was devolving, and the protagonists were mostly working to create some kind of structure. They didn't pay enough attention though, so they lost to an enemy nobody even knew existed until it was already too late to stop his plan.
>>515697 what if the animals get infected with capitalism and start taxing their pack >>515701 yeah but try telling that to a psychotic solipsist aristocrat who thinks that he's literally god >>515702 i've never seen that one i have had the white chocolate macadamia nut one though that one is great i've honestly only even seen like 5 flavors but i'm sure there's a shitload
what the fuck dude this shadow just took one of my party members hostage i've played this game for over 160 hours and this is the first time i've ever seen this happen
>>515719 i got out of it by using elemental items on the one person who didn't get enraged before joker got the chance to kill himself based element set saves me for the one and only time

>>515768 i think it's usually like snakes and owls and stuff or are you looking for more specific info
月
>>515771 i'm really lookin at the hunting of bushbabies by chimps i get the general sense but i was really wondering whether most of those vulnerable are the juvenile males without territory or whether nesting territory is where it takes place, or whether there's a distinction i'd imagine it's probably the exposed males who end up being prey chimps are really smart hunters and i dont think they bother defensive mothers very much i think they're super stimulated and flip out when they see something where it shouldn't be though and they go beat the shit out of it
月
not that wiki would have all that information but usually some relevant info that i can follow back to some research
Kirara 🚗
i did some quick searching but all the immediate results are focused on the tools chimps make to hunt bushbabies hmm
ToN
>when you finally get up and remember what your dream was
月
>>515774 yeah they break all the twigs off a branch and they ram it down the log i'm not sure if that is supposed to impale and batter the bushbaby or just scare them out though
>>515778 the top thing is the HUD indicating a space station that is nearly 5k Light-seconds away towards the lower center of the screen is a speed guage indicating 74.9 times the speed of light (c) and to the right, clipped by the cropping, is the systems and shields indicator for my Viper Mk IV
Kirara 🚗
>>515776 i'm looking at a paper from current biology that suggests it's to scare them it makes a note of a chimp reaching in to grab the bushbaby after using the tool, at least

The fact that its for profit is likely a major factor. But even if it wasn't it wouod still be difficult because of the way bureaucracies are.
EA's kicking off the E3 gauntlet in about four ir -or five minutes this year. Time to look at all these games I will refuse to play because fuck EA.
Microsoft, Bethesda, and Devolver run tomorrow, and Monday has Squeenix, Ubisoft, PC Gaming, and Sony. Nintendo is all on its lonesome on Tuesday. Monday seems like it'll be kind of interesting maybe.
>Cheers at the statement of "no lootboxes, no season pass" Don't cheer them for it, expect it and show disappointment at the announcement of it you nits.
But you see That is how they play it they give us something shitty and then when caught with hand deep in the cookie jar shitting on the floor they go back to just shitting on the floor and are aplauded for it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
we have shitty dlc policies preordering for dlc season passes god knows what else that I can't name now and now, going back to those policies just those policies and no lootboxes is thought as "being the good guy"
it is the gaming industry equilevant of letting the women drive.
Anno
They've also announced the first battle royale style game mode for a AAA title too. I wonder how many we need to get E3 bingo.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
go see if /v/ or something like that has one
Anno
The thing that nags me the most about EA is that they have some amazing engines and developers at their disposal. Like you look at the set pieces in their games and they're pretty gorgeous. Combine that with an immersive, story-driven game and it would be so much fun.
But well I haven't bought an EA game in a decade I'm not going to start now.
or how they buy good studios and offer them bigger teams and resources and then manage to EA them up and eventually close them down after sucking their creativity up and turning their once classic games into something brown and unrecognisable from the call of duty copies
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>515826 I bought mass effects few years back, but they were old games
Kirara 🚗
>>515821 reinforcement is more powerful than punishment in that context people will respond better to a good response for no lootboxes than they will to disappointment, since the actual consequence (fewer sales) either doesn't come at all or comes in two years when they can't even make the connection between the disappointment and the consequences if "no season passes, no lootboxes" is clearly making people respond better, than that'll become more common especially considering it has the immediate consequence of generating visible hype and eliciting praise
also lootboxes atm come with the risk of governments all over the world hammering them with legal restrictions
Anno
EA's CEO is another one of those guys with a kind of "Bond villain" face.
Anno
>>515829 Yeah, I'm aware of the psychological advantage of reinforcement of punishment. It's just frustrating to see on a large picture scale, that in a sense, this is a return to "how things used to be". People shouldn't have to cheer to get back what good they used to have.
Kirara 🚗
>>515830 especially in japan, who have a government division dedicated to gacha rates lol
lootboxes related to gamlbing have been in what belgium, netherland, australia and some other courts already don't remember what came out of them if nothing at all, but tread anymore in that territory and soon you will have big govs all over the world wanting to stick their dicks into where it don't belong

Kirara 🚗
>>515832 i def agree but it can't be helped gamers are people that respond to stimulation in a way that makes it easy to get stuff like season passes and lootboxes past them imo for a time at least, until they start making conscious resistance efforts

will shaving cream kill a spider ??

It might suffocate it. I have no clue about the poisoning factor there though.
月
i completely buried it i just assume i can leave it there and it'll be dead
>>515846 Though it looks like we won't get more news on this particular this year. It seems like they're working on a Star Wars game where the focus is on the player playing a Jedi in the "dark times". But they're being vague on whether that's "Order 66" or some era from the past.
Kirara 🚗
for EA i will probably just read about it later since i don't buy EA games very often - mostly because they don't make a lot of games that appeal to me, and the ones that do appeal to me don't meet my expectations
i will say that battlefront ii has a mode where you play as ewoks and have to slowly pick off stormtroopers while they try to survive until evac and that's so fucking cool i wish i could play that but i'm not going to buy a game i don't want for one game mode
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>515859 i'd guess either 10 dollars for the whole or 5 per character
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but seriously paradox interactive is the shittiest company when it comes to pricing their games or rather smooching off of the player base with over priced expansions
Anno
>>515861 Yeah pretty much. A bunch of EA games have interesting premises or elements that look legimately entertaining. But I'm pretty vehemently against buying EA games, period, so I just keep abreast of the information.
yeah i kind of miss the way things used to be like a game would come out and that'd be it, bam, you have star wars battlefront for years so eventually it's on sale and you can just fuck around in it with your friends occasionally but now it's like, oh, star wars battlefront iii will be out soon! and then hey, get ready for iv! and the prices of the old games are $30-50 for like 5 years
used to be able to pick up a 5 year old game for like $10-20
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
abreast is a weird idiom atleast in terms of "abreast of the information" kind of sense
Anno
Like this platforming game they've got going right now looks like it could be a lot of fun. Reminds me a bit of Ori and the Blind Forest with a focus on two part puzzle solving where Ori would have had combat. I'm a little remiss at not playing it, but at the same time, the sequel to Ori should be out soonish so I'll just be satisfied with that.
FormerRei@mobile
The line at the drug store is so long.
Anno
>>515865 Yeah, the ramped up schedule for game releases really punishes, in a sense, people that want to play multiplayer games.
Not to mention "games as service" ie. what happens to say games like diablo 3 when blizzard pulsl the plug on it? It is online online, despite practically having co-op just as a tact on
It'd be nice if more multiplayer games did it like MHW.
Our current technological level facilitates regular updates in games in a way that has never really existed, across all the domains where games are played. Probably less than 5% of people are unable to regularly use their console with the internet at this point.
Instead of constantly releasing new multiplayer games, we should just be getting constant updates in them. If they do that, and I can keep up with it for like 5 years, then I won't even mind if the game doesn't get way cheaper, because it's something you can keep going back to all the time.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
*online only
Anno
Oh right, A Way Out was a really well-done co-op game too. Engaging story and really builds a rapport between the two people playing. It was a cool gamble of theirs to make the game require two people to actually play.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
oh yeah I should play that brother game
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>515873 considering how well some games taht are online only or ment for 4 players do, it isn't that big a risk though most of those tend to be lower budget indy ones
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
But this is a surprising feature in this day and age > local split screen co-op
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>515871 >Instead of constantly releasing new multiplayer games, we should just be getting constant updates in them. and this is why I keep dishing money at paradox EU4 still going stronk
Anno
Yeah, I mean, even beyond EU4, Crusader Kings II has been out since early 2012 and still has a regular release schedule.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I just don't like how much they ASK for every dlc each dlc for eu4 has been past 5 ones 20€ with +10€ for cosmetic stuff like music and skins so 30€ for EACH expansion I'd dish 20€ if it had that 10€ cosmetics included
Yeah, I don't mind paying for DLC, as long as it's not excessive. Small updates should be free, but if they're adding like, a bunch of content, I don't mind paying for that.
Anything that makes me revisit the game and I can get at least 5 hours of new content out of it, I'll happily play for it. If I love a game, I want to play it more, but eventually, I get bored with it. New content is a good way to let me enjoy it again without leaving it for a year and coming back.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and some of the recent dlc have been >we added features that mods have done better than us that will be 20€ thank you
for example "pforessionalism" you can raise this stat by drilling with your armies and if you have maximum limit armysize, it gives you 1% a year BUT if you hire a SINGLE 1000 man unit of mercenaries i will always drop it 0,15 no matter HOW many soldiers you have be it 0 units or 10000 units 0,15 each time which is fucking retarded and made using mercenaries really punishing, as the professionalism gives you really high benefits, once you get it higher for example 50% cheaper generals 50% less damage to second row units 10% more damage -10% less damage and so on
Anno
This Sea of Solitude game looks pretty interesting too. I feel the character model is a bit of a clash against the most of the environment aesthetics but it's still catching my eye.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and you hire 10 mercenaries to just say siege some fort, with 200k armies and you lose 1,5% of that not much, but it does fucking stack up quick basically, they made using mercenaries not wise, if you have any built up professionalism
Anno
Sports video game esports is something that's really amusing to me. But I guess the sports video game industry is a huge part of console gaming so it must have a huge following. All you need for esports is a competitive game and a crowd to follow it. So I guess it's all there.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
so a good mechanic, but really half assed and then they expect 20 dollars for it

still that Vanishing of Ethan Carter? was it was a fun take on one, and if there was a game that had you solve weird detective cases using the reconstruction mechanic and similiar shit like in that game, would be neat

This competitive smartphone games thing some developers are trying to push is a little weird to me. But it seems to be developing its circles of interest, so good for them?
my brother tries to push me into smartphone gaming quite oft I dunno what is the charm of them, why carry games with you for every bored moment? Why not just enjoy the silence or think when bored? or read stuff on your phone, say the news or whatnot
Ko-Shi
>>515900 "everybody" has smartphones. Farther reaching than the normal "gamer" market It can work out, maybe
Anno
>>515902 I mean yeah, the wide-reaching prevalence of smartphones means I can get people making games for them. But competitive gaming tends to lean on either high-skill input or large amounts of diverse options to choose and perfect from. Or both. And I feel both of those are limited by smartphone limitations for the most part.
Anthem's attempt to combine both single-player and multi-player aspects sounds interesting. But at the same time I'm a little turned off by how it's segmented. If they separate the "story world" into the single-player base hubs, it limits the effect the story can have on the actual environment. A story that's engaging should have an impact on both the characters I interact with and the world I interact in. And by isolating the story progression into these hubs, it limits the parts of the world that the story can affect.
>>515912 Pretty much, but the actual implementation seems pretty not-Iron Man.
Kirara 🚗
i think Death Stranding is going to be heavily oriented to multiplayer there was an interview where one of kojima's buddies said he had no idea what was going on, but it was about bonds and said lots of people would have to cooperate to play it or something
>>515911 maybe they will integrate some kind of forum to it, for puzzle solving and that will be an actual gameplay mechanic or something?
Kirara 🚗
any speculation i have is going to be wrong haha i don't think anyone can predict what kind of masterpiece kojima has dreamed up i can't wait to see what he shows us at e3
Anno
>>515911 I'm always skeptical of mulitplayer integration into a story-driven game. Of course the game might not be story-driven at all, but given that it's Kojima that feels like it's one of the safest bets.
I don't like playing with other pople unless I want to play with other people. Not having control over that is annoying for me.
>>515917 You can see it just by looking at his work. He peaked a long time ago.
Anno
Anthem has some amazing set pieces going on. The gameplay demo looks like it could use some polishing still, there was a bunch of FPS lag earlier on. But it's looking a little interesting.
Anthem's Single/Multi thing sounds like old Guild Wars except in revers e
Anno
Yeah, I was thinking along those lines too. Which is one of the reasons hearing they were doing it was setting of low-key alarm bells in my head. It's the kind of thing that tends to detract from a story experience. And if I'm playing a game for the story experience, I don't want something like that to detract from it.
>>515932 Hail the mighty slayers of all the evil baddies bunch of randos

EAs conference was pretty all right though. The content aside from a few exceptions was kind of bland, but that's just the games EA makes. But their demos were not cringe-staged, they didn't have any real technical blips, and there was a limited amount of "we're cool, nerdy game developers!" kind of talk. Solid conference even if the content doesn't really appeal to me.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I read that as alt right first and started thinking, what kind of a game conference that would be
>>515939 It's not a weird and bad opinion. Kojima is like a walking case of the emperor's new clothes recently. Everyone can see that he's naked but they just write it off as invisible clothes.
The early Metal Gear games were good and MG2 was a masterpiece, but the recent games haven't been all that great. The latest Metal Gear was actually pretty good in terms of gameplay but the story wasn't already that great.
And yeah >>515944 The older games aren't even that good, their only selling point is that they have great stories and are historically significant.
The latest Metal Gear had a pretty decent story. I don't know what you could expect from something literally written to fill a plot hole. He just wanted to fill in a gap before his story was over.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>515942 i wouldn't call metal gear games taht good it wasn't untill mgs that they became good
That one Metal Gear with "all the stuff that came true" is more of a 'good in hindsight' kind of thing. And if that is how it's going to be with what we call 'good' from Kojima, then I hope all of his games in the future are incredibly bad. Because I don't want anything close to what he talks about being any more 'correct' in current society.
I wouldn't really blame Kojima for MGS5's short comings since it is pretty much just a cash grab filler game and how much he and his team were shat on by Konami during the production
>>515947 This is kind of what I mean by the /v/ thing. Stories are part of what Kojima does.
If you ask people about the most memorable aspects of the older games, it's usually stuff like Psycho Mantis fucking with you and having to switch controller ports, and shit like that. People remember how he's always been innovative in his gameplay design. That's what Kojima does and he does it well. The whole "Oh, Kojima is only good for stories!" is a total /v/ thing. It just completely ignores like half of the story because /v/ is short-sighted and stupid.
Anno
>>515948 I think he should get some of the blame. Kojima is a bit of a diva and an obsessive perfectionist. He kept taking and taking more resources to tinker his games to the way he envisioned them. I don't think Konami should be at fault for eventually saying "that's enough".
Everything -ELSE- they've done regarding the fallout between him and their company is totally their fuck-up though.
He's gone too far in his obsession with hollywood. Now everything is pants on head retarded!
>>515950 You say that, but everyone is hype about his next game even though they know absolutely nothing about the gameplay. It's just about some kind of weird male pregnancy artsy stuff. He's trying way too hard to be artsy.
That's because people know Kojima makes really innovative games, and they also like his stories.
You have a bad opinion and you're trying really hard to justify it, but you're being super short sighted about it. That's why I called it a /v/ thing. You're usually at least able to justify an opinion even if I don't agree with it, but in this case, you're just spouting half-truths to justify the opinion. It's silly.
And now you're criticizing him for being too weird and artsy, when you don't even know what you're criticizing. All you know is that you didn't understand the trailers, so it's bad.
My biggest fear with DS is that it won't be interesting enough. It's probably going to be more stealth-play just like MGS. Just like Lunar Knights too, which was also a Kojima production somehow. I don't see this tryhard artsyness. Just a lot of confusing shit that will probably just end up being the usual kind of game
It's a controversial opinion but I will be vindicated when it misses the mark. MGSV missed the mark too, even though it did provide some pretty good gameplay in the process.
But I guess that's the thing about Kojima games. The 'game' is second to the 'story' for the people who play it, probably. Or maybe it's just not my sort of thing.
I think all metal gear solid games have been good gameplay wise and I can't say for 5 which I havn't played, were also good story wise both gameplay and story support each other often
Kirara 🚗
5 was a masterpiece in gameplay, and in how well it ran
it ran on my toaster at full settings in an open world full of hailing bullets without lagging or crashing
the story was pretty good but it wasn't anything revolutionary, which is because we already knew most of the story in the game and the game was basically so kojima could fix a plot hole and finish his story
>>515972 maybe peanuts but idk social gatherings are kind of weird settings where healthy snakes aren't common and healthy snackes aren't either are you fucking kidding me
Anno
Yeah. I made the mistake of offering and got last dibs I think. Which is always the "oh bring something healthy!" situation. I was thinking baby carrots to start with, that's always a safe option.
The paycards for public transit here now incorporate our tranfer function into the card. As long as I'm traveling within two hours of starting and I'm not doubling back on my route, I can change buses and other vehicles as often as I need without paying a second fare. Pretty nice.

>>515992 No, she's not able to talk much. And she's sleeping a lot.

Is sometimes weird to think that practically all of our gambling, be it lottery, net stuff and so on, aside from the few casinos and international net poker etc are under the umbrella of Veikkaus (lit. guessing something with money on line), which is state ran non-profit organisation, that spends all of its profit on self run charity
So for a moment while reading about the article about the presidential (ours) family's kid and him having moved tot he presidential villa I started pondering about "he will love to live here" line and went "well that is if the president is re-elected" and then started thinkign now when are the next elections, he was elected 2012 and...

spectrum has really shitty customer service unfortunately
that doesn't make spectrum any better at&t and comcast both suck there's no good isp in the US google is at least a reliable isp but they're super limited and also building murder ai for the government

I just fought a battle that I kinda wish to redo, jsut because half of the battle was "no what the FUCK are youd oing?" the unit AI in total war games can be so retarded at times "hey our unit is fighting 20 men, let's open fire at them with 120 muskets "hey our target is running away, let's RUN after them into the melee as we archers like to be in melee" "hey our enemies are in range of our artilelry, let's NOT fire" and so on
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also the skirmisher ai for skirmish cavalry is just so... you need to babysit them constantly, which you can't really in full 40v40+ fights you simply don't have the time
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
the game simply lacks unit AI for the gunners basically for archers, it doesn't matter as they can lob their shots somewhat reliably over your dudes but for gunners nope they just shoot your own dudes straight into their backs I guess they couldn't fit in two missile unit ais, where one is "oh own dudes in the way, don't shoot" into this despite having it in earlier games like empire and napoleon
>>516254 R.E.M has some good tracks. I've been trawling through soundcloud and bandcamp these past few days to relax to music. It'd be nicer if they // there was a better way to sort through different genres of music, it feels like a lot of music gets tagged wrong, or in the tags are specific enough given that in the same genre two pieces of music cannot be more different from each other
FormerRei@mobile
Categorizing things can be hard. I find the categorization of music to be very interesting.
Anno
It is interesting to me too, like specific certain tastes can be. Like I like Jazz but I don't like all Jazz, there is certain features in Jazz that appeal to me and in other music the same features might not appeal to me at all
FormerRei@mobile
Same Some jazz i really like but other stuff really bothers me. I don't even know how to start finding stuff I'll like aside from just listening to a bunch.
Not So Anonymous !xa1FThiSUY
>jazz That's a broad umbrella, though. You could argue that it encompasses swing too. Aside from free-jazz, I'm not sure how you'd start dividing it up either.
Anno
My point is that genre tags aren't enough to give you want to you want most of the time and sometimes the sub-division of the genre aren't much better either. so it can be pretty hard to find specific forms of music. like a particularly type of singing in a particular genre of music, it's hard to find similar stuff unless you find people who find stuff that is similar
Not So Anonymous !xa1FThiSUY
It really depends on how far things get broken down, and if you use multiple tags and cross them you should be able to get closer but you have to break it down first. I wish that there were something a bit better than genre tags (I actually wipe those out of my collection because they're so damn useless).
>>516268 In some cases you can get at least two or three levels of subdivision. I assume there are ways to break jazz down like that, because it is such a broad umbrella, it's more of not having the words for it. The best thing I ever found for discovering "similar" music was to literally look at similar artists on something like Last.fm or Pandora... and even that is iffy because in the former case it goes on people's taste (which tends to work out better) and in the latter it's based on categories that I'm not sure have been really explained fully.
Anno
I can agree with that but quite often I'm just confronted with [genre][sub-division] and age its not enough which is fustrating.
Anno
There are loads of tags for Jazz, there an insane volume of different forms but Its hard to get very specific elements that make a song in that genre etc appealing to you.
I've been recently using soundcloud and its a bit fustrating when the music is just tagged with #futuregarage or #wave and the similar on the side is a jumble
Not So Anonymous !xa1FThiSUY
>>516269 Soundcloud seemed like a clusterfuck and their matching doesn't seem consistent.
>>516271 I hated self tagging when I posted things, because I never know what to say. I assume other people have that problem. You also have the problem where people want it to come up on so many searches that the end result is a mass of tags that seem unreasonable.
Anno
People self tagging things with what they think their music is also makes things weird when someone puts things in unusual categories or make up a new genre for their artsy fartsy music
Anno
>>516270 yeah, I can see that, there are bunch of songs I like on soundcloud that have #? I guess it can be hard to evaluate your own music sometimes, especially if you are trying place in context of other music so that people with similar tastes can find it but that requires you known other music like your own
Not So Anonymous !xa1FThiSUY
I assume if you're making music a certain way you had influence from somewhere, though. So you should have some baseline to compare it to.
Anno
Not all influences have similar sound though. especially if you like a particular squence in song and not the whole song and drew influence from that or from like certain sounds etc
all music is good for me i've listened to a pretty wide variety soundcloud is alright but i get a lot of memes if i rely on the auto playlist it's still better than youtube's garbage algorithm though
>>516274 I guess that's true. At the same time, a starting point is a starting point... I dunno, I guess when I think of things I think of them mostly in reference to something else anyway.
>>516276 maybe like 70% of the popular songs are memes yeah but there's an enormous ocean of amateur and indie music under the waves of memes
月
it is so late
Anno
Music is an interesting thing since you can have really strong division between different pieces of music. like mainstream music is now odd to me when I am so used to music that is considered out there. but i used to consider a lot of music when I was younger strange because it was different from mainstream stuff.
>>516279 I feel like that applies to anything. If you get comfortable with something outside the mainstream, the mainstream will feel unfamiliar. And vise versa. Though I imagine most people approach from mainstream music being the baseline of normal, and then go from there. At least I do. That said, what I thought was strange and new years ago is now nothing.
Anno
I suppose so! but music can go on pretty interesting journeys. I find it fascinating.
月
>>516280 a bit achy and fatigued but i am okay are you okay
Not So Anonymous !xa1FThiSUY
>>516282 I think the fascinating part is seeing where people go and then finding how they got there. The adoption of what ends up mainstream can also be interesting. I mean, there was a time when white people playing "black music" was almost taboo. And now, that same music is tame.
>>516283 I'm feeling bit uncomfortable, I've been having sleeping problems for the last few days and some headaches. but I'm feeling a bit better. >>516286 haha, it did keep me up! but that not your fault.

This guy on the radio was talking about how much traction racism and stuff is getting through breitbart etc. so I was like "OK, I'll hear this guy out, this isn't usually something they bring up so explicitly here" And now he's talking about postmodernism as a sort of opposition to this
I don't know if he's wrong or not, but for a moment I was like "Oh no, he's gonna quote Peterrson, isn't he?" He didn't

>>516327 It's not possible to not have a slant when reporting on these kinda things though Are the ZAD a terrorist organization that keeps attacking police for just doing their job, or are they preserving an area from government destruction? How you see that will affect your report
It's not like they're fullblown communist propaganda though They just aren't assuming the state is in the right de facto
Kirara 🚗
and good reporting shouldn't it should just report facts what have they done to harm people what have they done to help people are they terrorists? are they good guys? that's up to me to decide once i have the facts i dont trust reporting very much because there is always the ultimate goal of telling me how to think i try to get facts from reporting but it is often difficult
>>516331 You can't expect facts to be free from bias Even fascists will say things sometimes that are technically true, they just leave out everything else that doesn't work for them.
Well you should check out their video on ZAD and the NPA if you wanna see if they're your cup of tea I guess For all I know, what I consider to be a slant I agree with is what you consider not to be a slant in this situation
sk
If nothing else, they seem interested in giving a voice to those engaging in struggle of some kind Which I think is a good thing
any reporting that's pro-struggle has motivation to ignore human rights violations by that group which almost always exist we can't build anything on that
ZAD is seemingly horizontal as shit, so I dunno what kind of human rights violations they could even have The NPA, I dunno, they seem to want to create a structure for struggle. It could be good, it could be bad, I don't know what the structure is.
Kirara 🚗
horizontal organizations can't commit human rights violations?
It's more like, it's a lot less likely The horizontal structure is obviously capable of doing anything at all, including genocide if it somehow wants to But the people who actually go for a horizontal structure usually aren't the ones who want that sort of thing, and they often choose horizontal structures because they don't want horrible shit to happen to anyone
Kirara 🚗
that's pretty idealistic horizontal organization isn't superior in terms of this stuff because good people are involved in it it's superior only if the organization has a culture which promotes human rights if someone does something evil and the others in the organization do nothing, that organization is responsible for it
But the organization of the area itself had to be taken up by someone, and it being horizontal rather than hierarchial means it had to be organized by people who didn't want hierarchies Like those people are usually the same people fairly concerned about human rights and what have you, that's just... the case as of today
Kirara 🚗
that's the case based on your observations of people's behavior on the internet
sk
It's also not contradicted by like, actually anything I've been exposed to, and I feel like if the ZAD, specifically, was in what would have become an airfield committing atrocities, there'd be page up and page down in every newspaper on the planet about it
Kirara 🚗
human rights violations and commiting atrocities are different you're awfully defensive of this movement you've watched one or two videos on I don't think that's healthy for an anarchist
...are they? I'm not that defensive, I've just not seen anything bad about them thus far And the reason I'm not too concerned with them somehow secretly being a trash fire is that I don't see it as likely considering what their cause is and how it's organized
Kirara 🚗
i think it's important to be open to the idea that none of these are legitimate every organization has problems any organization that doesn't seem to have problems probably has a ton of them every revolutionary organization will at some point violate human rights, and we need to know what they do to remedy it when it happens
i say you seem defensive because you are very strongly defending them on the idea that you haven't seem a reason to distrust them, but giving trust like that is naive and exactly what allows tyranny to rise these organizations have to be examined and criticized and held accountable or they will never grow into organizations that can represent us you can support an organization or movement while simultaneously being wary of them it feels like you just assign a value of good or bad to these orgs though like with the NPA, you act like they're some ultimate good and sing their praises why? that's so weird to me doing something good doesn't make you good if there's also a lot of bad doing something good so you can do bad later isn't good either
sk
I think the NPA might have some issues, sure, ZAD probably too But the NPA is trying to expand, and that comes with issues, while ZAD seem merely to be protecting itself against the government in their area, and that comes with hangovers from what was previously the culture of the area. But I'm not sure how to approach those without actually having some information to go on
Like the NPA has a legitimate concern for infiltration, if nothing else. That likely comes with some real big problems, people may unjustly die as a result of whatever means they use to wipe away infiltration.
Kirara 🚗
imo the solution is to support, but seriously distrust, any organization that seems to be doing good work
sk
I can agree with that.

Like 200 Black Luna exists

you'd probably be safe most of the time with like 70 though

how long until we get a weapon that turns all of the bonuses on a unit into def or res
Ko-Shi
I can't think of a single person who would do such a thing
Ko-Shi
Probably a simpler wording like "Reduces damage equal to number of bonuses on unit."
Kirara 🚗
it'd probably be more balanced if it were just res or just def, though
Kirara 🚗
if i could just reduce damage equal to bonuses oh man tactics babey
Ko-Shi
It would definitely be a unique weapon or skill so it's not that terrible of a thing definitely a weapon if it were a skill, you could do dumb things like. Safeguard, Defiant Res lmao Defiant skill comeback

there are units that can nullify bonuses too and panic ploy and stuff like that
Safeguard, Defiant Def, + Nullify for -21 physical damage Throw in a Close Def seal for good measure

Maybe I should use Brazen Atk/Def instead

See this is why I'm sad that sol ring is unique Sol Ring + future Guard seal would be so awful
>Instead of fixing the old trains, let’s rip out the tracks and fill the tunnels with fleets of autonomous vehicles running on pavement. The result would be radical improvements in throughput while saving money and increasing the ability of the system to survive a fire, flood, or terrorist attack. ????????????????????????????????????????????/

pfft

>The vehicles might not run as fast as the current trains—which can go 50 miles an hour or more at top speed—but the lack of stops would pay off. ???

every paragraph of this gets wilder > There’s no reason the system couldn’t carry packages, food, or other freight in little autonomous trucks during off-peak hours.

>There will be other costs, of course: 240 miles of LED lighting would cost millions of dollars, but installing such a system would have side effects that would make them worth every penny. Rats, after all, hate the light and would be pushed to find new underground homes. This person does not live in New York City

rats hate the light lmao what
Ko-Shi
>The biggest advantage of cleaning up the subway tunnels isn’t fiscal, but the fact that New York’s underground would become safer, making it possible for people to walk to safety in case of a fire, flood, or terrorist attack. Right now, people are pretty much stuck in a broken train like Spam in a can. >walk to safety in case of a fire, flood, or terrorist attack. Get out of your vehicle in a live shooter setting. Go on. I dare you. Try not to get trampled by a group of unorganized underground tourists escaping what looks like a flood. or a fire
Kirara 🚗
you could just put a bomb in an automated car and set it off to collapse the highway on everyone and then set off more while traffic is congested and the cars just stop moving it's not any safer than subways
Kirara 🚗
it'd also probably be less ecological
