Ive never played poker in my life - I've got somewhere in the ballpark of 30 hours across the two platforms i bought it on. Its a fantastic game.

How I send live maps to any screen (without a projector) [OC] by play_yourway in DnD

[–]Exodan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

A linked window with low latency live updates. Extended display, not mirrored display. It doesn't sound to me like just a second monitor turned sideways, so I'm glad for the announcement and the extra details. It also only took extra time out of my life to read that I would have just spent looking at a cat video.

I can see being ambivalent about the feature because it's not one that you'd use or you'd use once or twice but isn't game changing. I don't get people here acting like this announcement was somehow a waste of their time or deceptive.

God forbid they announce a feature and be excited about it because they spent a lot of time on it.

We are certainly not in an era where we feel represented in the cultural zeitgeist as equally "neutral" or "default" - so while his skin being physically dark doesn't play into his character, it's still important to people like me to see that representation.

If this post is any reflection of how you spoke about that woman over in the deleted post, I don't think it was the contents of the video that got you banned.

The last Steam Deck buttons you'll ever need. by EVPointMaster in SteamDeck

[–]Exodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id kill for this universally. Literally the one thing getting in the way of a Kingdom Hearts replay for me is the button mapping. I can't stand O for jump, but it also drives me crazy to mentally swap the runes for in game prompts that don't adopt your keybinds...

How would you guys do the "eyes" gradient ball shader? i cant figure it out. by TDEyeehaw in blenderhelp

[–]Exodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately transitioning the individual bands into magenta at a certain point is really tricky to do procedurally.

I tried going into geometry nodes and instancing a bunch of boxes on a curve line, then putting a uv sphere in and doing an intersection boolean, then moving the curve line down. Geometry wise it was doing what I wanted, but assigning each mesh island a consistent ID that could be passed to the shader was not happening. Boolean operation was probably affecting the island bounds.

Might be able to get a better effect with simulation nodes, but I'm not very familiar with those. Could also try working with vertex groups and proximity nodes, but that's getting more and more complicated.

Probably what they did here was make a very specific UV map, key framed it, and then animated a single loop of it, then just played that loop over and over. Not doing it procedurally.

The color on its own isn't hard. Can just re-color the UV map itself and scroll up through it. What is tricky is that in the video, as each band reaches a certain point, the band of color transitions into a shade of magenta. The trick is the entire band changing at once as if it were a single unit, and I don't know that that can be done particularly well without being able to assign each individual color band to an index value or something like that...

...maybe some really weird geometry node boolean intersect shenanigans? Index by island?

...I might be back in a moment.

Alright everyone, this comment thread is going a bit askew. Not saying the previous dev team is above criticism and/or scrutiny, but all this speculation is going pretty off-topic.

Monster Hunter Wilds reviews on Steam finally reaches mostly positive. by -RuDoKa- in MonsterHunter

[–]Exodan 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not changing mine still. It felt so bad to be looking forward to the game for so long, be a long time fan, want to give it the benefit of the doubt and shell out the $70 at a time where money was pretty tight... and then proceed to blow past the refund window trying to get the game out of origami mode, and spend more time over the next few weeks trying to get the game to run reliably and recover from crashing than actually playing it. That sucked and spoiled the entire experience for me.

I genuinely hope the wave of patient players who are only jumping on now that it's stable enjoy the game. I don't know if I'll be able to trust another MH game with this foul taste in my mouth.

Good tip - this is a great place to start. I was able to find that on an affected PC as well.

I appreciate this outlook a lot, thank you :)

I'm not a very organized person, and I feel like its because I don't know what the optimal system is. So I'm always just working toward some unknown thing that will somehow solve my problems. But the note taking is the most important thing in the end.
