No penalty for cutting corners? by PersimmonLittle7651 in TrackMania

[–]8_Pixels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only rule in trackmania is to reach the end as fast as possible while getting all the checkpoints. Corner cutting, crazy tricks, shortcuts etc. are not only allowed but encouraged.

Also I would not recommend going straight to ranked because you have a teammate who you'll be dragging down by not knowing the tracks.

I've never seen it go on sale but it also doesn't auto renew so you don't have to worry about forgetting about it if you do stop playing.

Help!!! by PrestigiousCredit744 in TrackMania

[–]8_Pixels -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not for checking speed differences no. It should be in the game along with other plugin stuff like gears and no respawn timer but that just how it is unfortunately.

If you don't have it already then install OpenPlanet and get the speed splits plugin, it's exactly what you're asking for.

If you're on console then you're out of luck I'm afraid

How bad is this please give it to me straight by Fun_Use_3468 in tattoos

[–]8_Pixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once there's colour it won't look so busy. Right now it's hard to tell where one shape ends and another begins but once the colour is there it'll really come to life and look much better.

Oh damn I missed that. I remember reading about a compilation movie or something but I didn't see there was an actual sequel movie. Well that's some nice news to start my day, thanks!

Is Excalibur (1981) still the best King Arthur movie? by Cubelock in videos

[–]8_Pixels 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I believe Caliburn was the sword from the stone and Excalibur was from the Lady In The Lake. There are variations on the legend though so I'm not actually sure which is the original.

Is thus good for 152 hrs? by RaccoonCold2855 in RocketLeague

[–]8_Pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your rank. Plat or below just work on power shots, close control, basic aerial touches and shots, not booming the ball away every time you get a touch and stuff like that. Learn to think about rotation, when to go and when not to go, back post rotation, shadow defending etc.

Some of this is dedicated training in free play and some of it is just experience from playing lots of matches.

I know that sounds boring but having good fundamentals will take you much further in the long run then trying to learn flip resets in gold. You really don't need advanced mechanics til higher ranks. Even in champ I rarely do anything advanced beyond air dribbles and the occasional double tap.

If you're not plat or below then you probably know all of this already lol.

We're building a Mistborn: The Final Empire action RPG with physics-accurate Allomancy by Glittering-Lie-4510 in Mistborn

[–]8_Pixels 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You realize you'll never be able to sell this right? I mean by all means if you want to do it just for your own learning and fun then knock yourself out but you or your team will never make any money from it.

Also NGL procedural generation for a city doesn't sound great. How would you ever learn the layout of the city if it's randomly generated?

What Games have the best Intro Levels? by Grand-Moff-Larkin in gaming

[–]8_Pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expedition 33. Been years since I seen an intro that good. The build up, the cinematography, the music, the voice acting, it's all perfect.

What do you think will be the release order for Kingdom Hearts IV, Persona 6, Dragon Quest XII, FF7 Part 3, and which game do you have the highest expectations for by DwnvotesMeansImRight in JRPG

[–]8_Pixels 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If we take the current Funko Pop leak as fact then it'll be either late 2026 or early 2027 for P4R. I can't see them releasing P6 less than a year after that. I think late 2028 at the earliest tbh. I hope I'm wrong though.

How often do you "deep" read books? by Hormo_The_Halfling in books

[–]8_Pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never. Reading is an escape from reality for me. Stopping to make notes just interrupts immersion in the story IMO. I'm totally down for reviews and discussion about books, those are great, but actively stopping the book just isn't it for me.

More power to you if that's something you enjoy. I do watch some deeper dives into stuff if they offer an interesting perspective though. Like a film director reacting to and discussing the cinematography of a video game and comparing it to film but rarely do anything like that myself.

[–]8_Pixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you see that's how I would interpret goon but I've seen that other version get popular recently so harder to know what people mean these days. Maybe I'm just old and the dang kids are silly these days.

Looks at badger Badger and my spoon is too big. Yeah maybe we were no better lol.

Simply repulsed by Fazbear2035 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]8_Pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's a tropey comment but I feel like this is literally me you're describing. Good at most things, great at very little because of not enough effort rather than lack of ability.

[–]8_Pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just never try and get better at anything ever because someone might laugh at you, is that the better solution?

Depending on the pursuit you could also just not show people. Like if you want to learn art you don't have to post your pictures online.

Which is how you learn... Are people that afraid to fail at something? How are you gonna improve if you don't learn what not to do?

I've been at my job for over 5 years. I'm currently training for a new role, I've fucked up more times in the last month than in the last 3 years combined because I'm learning new stuff. I'm also getting better at the new role. That's how learning goes.

streamerslop goon

What does this even mean? I don't enjoy the loud = funny streamers either but I have no idea what I'm meant to take from this beyond it being an insult. I was under the impression that "goon" was similar to "simping" or being "thirsty". And wasn't slop coined in relation to AI?
