oh yeah that makes sense, the little bubble window is literally just painted over.

yeah but you generally also have a hierarchy of submodels so that mirroring a group mirrors everything in that group.

i… these are literally all ai. like why would the render be missing a horn?

five per croc is just boring. one? hilarious. six? disturbing. ten? wardrobe malfunction.

i like that kind of thing in theory but when “even weirder” equates to “there are guys to shoot everywhere” i lose interest. alan wake had the same issue. it worked in max payne because the story is already batshit insane.

for me i was done with it almost as soon as it started. for a game called pacific drive you do basically no driving. i had hoped for some sort of supernatural stormchasing sim, but the tiny maps and frequent obstacles mean you really only have any use for the car when leaving or entering. otherwise it’s just in the way.

also, i got so fed up with the damage system that i disabled it, but that also disables quirks, which just seems like the game punishing you for not playing the correct way by removing unrelated gameplay elements.

i’d disagree on the first one, that’s just par for the course here. and 90k is senior staff engineer territory here. that puts you in the 99.9th percentile.

well duh. i’m in the top 5% of earners here, and i make just shy of €60k a year before taxes.

this sounds… entirely reasonable? like, had it not been in california that’s about what i expect a position with those responsibilities to pay. the median income here is just below $40k a year and for an it manager these are all completely expected skills. i don’t get it.

in the rest of the world that is basically a three-job salary.

control is such a cool ip, it’s a real shame that it’s so combat focused. i wanted more mystery, more things to solve. instead i got “look at this weird thing! now shoot some guys next to it” for 10 hours.

like, that thing with the central power generator? genuinely great environmental storytelling. but then they don’t really do anything with it. not that they have to examine every little thing in detail, but… they could have examined some things.

it’s sort of related to how i feel about pacific drive; full of neat ideas that are just used as set dressing for the main loop.

that’s divx. xvid is h263, or mpeg-4 part 2. it’s all a bit muddled but xvid was started by divx as an open platform, it’s gplv2 but it uses a bunch of patented code.

like everything in the video world, it’s needlessly convoluted and bogged down by red tape.

also charlie brown had a lot more hair

xvid

i think it was removed because the comments got way too heated. shoild prabably have been locked instead. doesn’t explain the given reason though.

i know there was that doctor on antarctica who had to remove their own appendix, but i wouldn’t be surprised if people have done all the others too.

what, in general, like taking out your appendix? or just exterior, like removing a breast to treat cancer? or just cosmetic, like fixing a broken nose? or gender-affirming, like a fat guy getting top surgery? or gender-affirming as the medically approved cure specifically for dysphoria?

where is the line that makes it disturbing?

let’s make them enjoy it less

and that’s before we get to AMP, where google will 1) outright refuse to show pages that don’t follow their guidelines, and 2) just copy the content from those pages to display themselves because the guidelines are designed to make the copying easier for them.

you know i’m fine with whatever fetishes, i just don’t want them doing that stuff when i’m around.
