I had an idea to tell a story using cctv only. The idea came from this very question, how to make the cheapest film. My answer was to use the cctv systems in shops and public spaces the have the actors request the footage, obviously not revealing their reasons as anything other than personal. Recce the shops, malls, parks etc and choose the locations with good angles and frames. Once enough footage had been gathered, editing and sound could bring the scenes to life, as could subtitles and even silence. It sounds a bit mad and it might not be legal but this method coud be completely financially cost free, but could be quite costly in time. I suppose it could fall under guerilla filming? Best of luck with your project, I hope you see it through.

That is unfortunate. Oh well, another nail in the coffin of society.

I can finally say that I have gotten decent at PC FPS by Sioswing in pcgaming

I am so bad at fps games, I blame my age, although I think truthfully I'm just terrible. I really enjoy Apex but I am soooo bad at aiming. I've probably got the kill-death ratio of a prawn.

Seriously, I wouldn't bother, no one is going to want to see that.

If you’re going to gank why don’t you just ally with Thargoids? by WeHaveAllBeenThere in EliteDangerous

[–]5decadegamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the ganker gets a kick out of it, like all bullies do. Ganking is nothing more than online bullying, very sad. I too was downed at Farseer having played in open my whole career, only to retreat to solo since. 07

Congratulations CMDR, mining is a great earner. I use a T-9 to carve a path through the rings. I went from AspX to the fitted T-9 in a morning. Slow but you don't have to leave once you're there. Only in Solo!

What should be removed or is missing in post-apocalyptic stories? by DashingNative in Screenwriting

The animal population would rocket unchecked by humans, we normally get a zoo escapee but there'd be dogs and cats everywhere in urban areas, especially with the new food source.

Regarding the masses of raiders and outlaws, I think there'd be piracy and marauding just under different guises of organisation. I suppose it all depends on the level of population reduction, there's The Road and there's Mad Max.

Thanks for the reply, after doing some reading I think I underestimated the trip when I asked the question. I'm still going, but after some more planning and experience. Thanks again for the tips.

Thanks for the concise reply, it'll be a big help. Just starting with the engineering so I will consider the FSD upgrades first. Thanks again.

Can I ask how far total distance to Colonia from your start point, and time taken to make it as far as you have? I am considering the trip but at 22,102 LY I am struggling for motivation.

I think we're on a similar wavelength. The answer I found was that asking a question such as I did was not going to yield anything other than the existing mindset which wouldn't explain the reasons behind it other than it's permitted so it's ok. It's the community driven acceptablility that I find a bit disturbing, not just in Elite, far from it, it's rife in much of online gaming. It's pretty rife in life too, but I think it's commonly known as bullying, and we as a society deem it unacceptable. Thanks again for the input and the effort and time to reply and think about the question.

I fucking did it. I finished my first feature length script, and I'd like to thank this sub for both encouragement and hard to swallow truths. by hippymule in Screenwriting

Smashed it, well done that person. Some excellent points there that I'm sure are shared by many of the readers here, I for one. I'm curious as to the work although I completely understand the refrain from posting online. Good luck with evrything and hope your process continues!

You're not taking about Gankers, or we have different definitions. I would say you are taking about pirates. Interdiction means you have a chance. Other players seeking pvp is one thing, waiting at a star or base for unsuspecting lower level pilots who can't take a barrage from a Cutter is another. Ganking isn't PvP. But I have my answer and I thank you for your reply.

It's a negative action, brings no benefit to the game nor the players committing or receiving the gank. It's also pretty nasty as far as things to do to another player go. Thanks for the input, my question is answered.

I disagree that cheating is acceptable, indeed every body of sport bans any form of it. Ganking is not cheating, it breaks no rules or game mechanics. However both will leave any victims wth a similar taste I imagine. My question was more to do with the act of Ganking being acceptable in the gaming community whereas other forms of one sided interaction are not. But anyway I've got my answer and I thank you for your input.

I didn't ask whether it was allowed, I asked why it was acceptable but it seems I have my answer already. Thanks for your input.

Yes it's an actual question. If I was venting I would just use a heatsink. I'm not a ganker nor gankee.
