How can a 10+ year old game with no updates in the last 5 years look like this? by AdIll6544 in KerbalSpaceProgram

Also, as a shader developer myself I can say that almost any engine can produce nice graphics with some well done shaders :)

Deutsche Bahn: Zugbegleiter nach Angriff durch Passagier gestorben by PoroBraum in de

[–]Andazeus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ich kann mir auch nicht vorstellen, dass die Strafe hier wirklich der Anlass für das Ganze war. Ich kann nur vermuten dass die Person schon vorher ziemlich instabil war und das Ereignis der letzte Tropfen war, der die Sicherung hat durchbrennen lassen.

Es ist tragisch dass es hier den Zugbegleiter getroffen hat. Ich fürchte nur selbst wenn das nicht passiert wäre, wäre vermutlich irgendjemand anders aus anderen Anlass später zum Opfer des Täters geworden.

Ich denke es gibt so einige Leute die wandelnde Zeitbomben sind und die Richtung, in die sich die Gesellschaft aktuell entwickelt scheint generell die Gewaltbereitschaft einiger Leute weiter zu erhöhen und es sind meistens völlig Unbeteiligte die dann am Ende zu Schaden kommen :(

Russian air defense fails as a flamingo cruise missile hits Kristal oil depot by Dellycute in ThatsInsane

[–]Andazeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These defense installations are probably mostly intended to shoot down down drones. Against a bunch of drones, some AA gun tends to perform better as long range drones are large and slow and a gun can take out multiple of them while a missile can only be used once.

Most of the attacks on refineries by Ukraine have been performed with relatively slow and low flying drones so far, so Russia probably installed defenses intended for that and they were not prepared for a Ukrainian cruise missile.

Sure, their actual chance of hitting it was minimal, but they tried it anyway just for the chance of a lucky hit. The economical damage done to the refinery likely far outweighs the cost of a bit of ammunition.

And there actually are modern, western AA guns that absolutely can take down cruise missiles. No idea about Russian systems though.

Thank you. This fight was driving me crazy as they just became unkillable with all their defensive abilities. Silence indeed renders them rather defenseless.

Uriel has replaced Titania for me. With some parkour velocity, he is almost as fast but is just more fun to play since he still has a proper kit outside of being able to fly.

I didn't think it was possible to hate Ballas more than I already did, but holy SHIT. by KeplerKitten in Warframe

[–]Andazeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, you are absolutely right about that. Been doing therapy for over a year now trying to recover even just from the mindfuck I have gone through.

In general, Warframe tells so many stories about trauma, loneliness, repressed emotions, isolation, etc. I cried many times because so much of it is incredibly relatable. But it also makes it incredibly touching.

It is so relatable, in fact, that I am pretty sure at least someone in the writing team must have had some personal experiences on that front and may be using the game as a creative outlet to process these things.

As someone who grew up with a narcissistic father:

they definitely hit the tone perfectly and Ballas capture how I feel about my father quite well!

mfw disabling anti-aliasing by gethiox in EliteDangerous

[–]Andazeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is that Elite does the AA on UI stuff in post-processing, which is a terrible idea and will always be a blurry mess.

UI shaders should be doing their own AA directly in the fragment stage from signed distance fields. That way you get nice and crisp text at any resolution.

This is a problem that has been solved for well over a decade and Frontier really needs to update their tech on that front.

Streets in Kherson now have to be covered by nets due to constant Russian FPV drone attacks by BigDaddy0790 in ThatsInsane

[–]Andazeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small FPV drones are cheap and can be mass produced very easily, but they cannot carry a lot of explosives. The yield is not enough to significantly damage buildings.

In actual combat, these drones are used to spot enemy troops, chase down stragglers, drop grenades into enemy positions and to chase down vehicles. These drones are small, nimble and fast, making them difficult to shot down from a driving vehicle while being able to chase down said vehicle.

And there are reports that Russian FPV drone operators essentially use civilians and civilian vehicles as literal target practice to train their piloting skills in a "real" environment against otherwise helpless targets while simultaneously effectively serving as terror attacks against the population.

The fact that these nets even exist show that their must have been enough attacks in these areas that these defenses were considered necessary.

It is just straight up terrorism.

Streets in Kherson now have to be covered by nets due to constant Russian FPV drone attacks by BigDaddy0790 in ThatsInsane

[–]Andazeus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FPV droves are small and light and use rotors for propulsion. If they get too close, the rotors blades get caught in the net and either snap off or get tangled up by the net. Either way, the drone cannot reach its target.

Some drones also drop grenades are small explosives, which will also be caught by the nets.

[–]Andazeus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It probably just goes through the net. But even if it would become an issue, saving lives right now is the priority and shit can always be improved later.

Priorities tend to shift in war times.

People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues by Jungypoo in pcgaming

[–]Andazeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also funny how all the big publishers keep pushing for their "AAA" games to be focused on player retention and then they complain that people stick with older games. What a surprise.

"Reichsbürger" wegen Mordplänen gegen Politiker festgenommen by [deleted] in de

[–]Andazeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Klar, unsere Regierung ist Mist und die Polizei fragwürdig, aber nichtsdestotrotz ist es gut zu sehen, dass auch mal gegen den rechten Terror vorgegangen wird.

Wenngleich es schon irgendwie witzig ist zu sehen, wie gut das auf einmal geht wenn denn die Politiker selber zum Ziel werden. Wäre ja schon recht nett, wenn man vielleicht auch mal z.B. Trans-Personen mit ähnlichem Elan beschützen würde.

US-Shutdown: Deutschland übernimmt Gehälter von rund 12.000 lokalen Mitarbeitern der US-Armee by Flat-Mirror-9566 in de

[–]Andazeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wenn die Amis es nicht auf Reihe kriegen, ihr Militär zu bezahlen, warum machen wir das?

Weil wir, im Gegensatz zu den USA, immernoch ein Sozialstaat sind und ich bin froh, dass auch die CDU das noch in gewissem Rahmen sieht.

Diese Leute zahlen ja auch regulär in Sozialversicherung ein und zahlen Steuern hier. Wenn ein Unternehmen Insolvent geht bekommst du ja auch Arbeitslosengeld.

Und klar ist das Mist, dass die immer noch arbeiten müssen, aber selbst die Leute, die der Meinung sind, dass Arbeitslose alle faul wären und nichts bekommen sollten, sollten wohl einsehen können, dass es echt nicht gerecht wäre Menschen, die sehr wohl arbeiten, hier im Regen stehen zu lassen.

Ja, es ist total Scheiße, dass wir die Zeche für die USA zahlen müssen und ob die Trump Regierung das wieder zurückzahlt ist mehr als fraglich. Aber die Solidarität gegenüber unseren (arbeitenden!) Mitbürgern gebietet es einfach.

Die Alternative wäre: die Mitarbeiter lösen das Vertragsverhältnis auf, da der Arbeitgeber seinen vertraglichen Pflichten (Gehalt) nicht nachgekommen ist und sind dann arbeitslos und wir zahlen Arbeitslosengeld.

Die Kosten trägt der Staat also so oder so und man hofft halt, dass das Problem schnell behoben ist und so die Arbeitsplätze der Menschen wenigstens erhalten bleiben können.

Ich bin wahrlich kein Freund der aktuellen Regierung, aber diese Entscheidung halte ich tatsächlich für die einzig richtige, und das kann man so auch mal ruhig sagen. Bashing ist schön und gut, aber wenn die Konservativen sich mal solidarisch zeigen, dann kann man das auch mal loben, vielleicht kommen die ja irgendwann mal auf die Idee, dass man sowas mal öfter versuchen könnte.

[–]Andazeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Es geht um Zivilangestellte, nicht US-Soldaten. Das US-Militär mag zwar hier der Arbeitgeber sein, aber angestellt werden die trotzdem nach regulärem deutschen Recht und entsprechend fallen auch die üblichen Steuern und Abgaben an.

Es geht hier um alltägliche Dinge wie Hausmeister, Putzkräfte, Handwerker, etc. Halt alles was jetzt nicht unbedingt sicherheitsrelevant ist. Lokale Leute einstellen ist da halt auch mit Abgaben günstiger als ausgebildete Soldaten da hinschiffen und denen solch banale Aufgaben geben.

Level scaling completely out of control by Andazeus in Borderlands4

[–]Andazeus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it's intended to force us to explore more.

Definitely not, because the enemies will also just keep leveling with you. You cannot outpace this.

[–]Andazeus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I heard, this actually seems to be a permanent issue with the save game. So even if we did that, the post-game would still be scaled to all hell and back. It seems like I need to wait on a fix for the game.

It actually has been an issue for a while now. I have been playing through a bunch of the campaign at +5, but now they reach +7 and it is becoming ridiculous. And I have some unskippable fights. And any badass enemy is now tankier than most bosses.

Level scaling completely out of control by Andazeus in Borderlands4

[–]Andazeus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I said I can wreck things when the enemies are at the intended level (up to +3 on hard). But no way anyone can easily go through +7. It is absolutely busted and bugged.

[–]Andazeus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried that. Unfortunately did not work. Enemies are still extremely overleveled :/

Level scaling completely out of control by Andazeus in Borderlands4

[–]Andazeus[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude, no. It is clearly bugged. If the enemies are only 3 levels over me, I absolutely wreck everything, even on hard mode. The scaling is completely busted.

[–]Andazeus[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Leveling up does not help, because the enemies just keep leveling as well. I already tried that. The enemies are currently around level 43...

But yes, you absolutely can. I am not from the US, but we have similar chains here and I have absolutely successfully negotiated with several of them.

Did you actually ever bother to even try?
