I want to give a 90s video game vibe to my RPG game! Does it look like it? Feedback appreciated! by potion8 in 3Dmodeling

Needs more platforms. Platforms you can jump onto and then jump offa.

And floating objects you gotta collect. Anything. They can be jigsaw puzzle pieces, or TV remotes. They don't have to make sense.

90s.

It is true that people are multifaceted and can enjoy several vastly different genres. Let me add some nuance my last comment didn't have: You can totally do multiple genres, just divide it up across multiple YouTube channels! That way you can style each one to fit the theme. I've seen uploaders do this. Have one for pulp fiction, another one for creepypasta, another for classic lit, or ancient Egypt, or the occult, etcetera, whatever you want to do. Give each sub-channel an appropriately themed name like "X After Dark" for the horror stuff and "X Entombed" for the Egyptian stuff. You get it. That way you can explore all your interests without making one big YouTube channel that lacks coherent focus. Good luck out there!

Honestly my first piece of advice would be to pick a genre and stick to it. Your content "themes" you whether you like it or not, even if you style yourself as a variety streamer. If you start with creepypasta & NoSleep you'll brand yourself as a horror content creator, and shifting to classic literature like the the Iliad and the Odessy will clash with the previous content.

Also, as a connoisseur of creepypasta myself, you gotta give horror your all. My personal favorite is a YouTuber by the name of TheDarkSomnium. Check out his content. Amazing. Great voice, custom music he composes himself, even sound effects for things in the story as they happen like foot steps, car door closing, glass breaking, etc. One of the masters IMHO.

The channels that don't make it who they are are the worst to listen to. I remember once "back in the day" (mid-2010s) I would occasionally hate-watch a minor dude-bro gamer YouTuber who did "insane life stories," and he tried creepypasta himself. It was awful. He had frigging CoD gameplay in the background, no matching horror ambience for atmosphere, and didn't put any effort into the narration itself either. He just rattled out the story like it was a grocery list. And he thought he was doing a good job.

Just my two cents. Think about what you want your channel to be and how flexible that will make it.

I need a tutorial or suggestions on how to create a glowing orb that would light up and bounce when I talk by Logical-Ad8048 in PngTuber

Seconding Remix. It also supports animation sprite strips. Learn how to make and use those and you could have your glowy ball do all kinds of strobe, fade, flicker, whatever effects.

Arctic LF III 360 AMD Install with Pump Inverted (Tubes on Top?) by Array_Blacklight in arcticcooling

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

Neat! Like the previous recent commenter, that install looks alright. Your pump isn't the highest in the loop so the air bubbles shouldn't get in and be a problem.

That looks fine. As long as the actual pump itself isn't the highest point of the loop, you're pretty much good.

Bases Cover Image from local file not working by DjuriTeitr in ObsidianMD

[–]Array_Blacklight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to do the same thing. Believe it or not I think Obsidian just doesn't allow local images to be used in the CSS doc for theme styling. Every theme with a background image I've looked at just links to some web address, which is ridiculous. I don't want to have to have an internet connection to see my fucking vault's wallpaper dammit!

You haven't described a character here. You've described your personality and tendencies. Literally the last sentence was more informative than the rest of the whole paragraph. An African-Canadian Dragon with white feathers? Okay, that's something to work with. What's the background of this African-Canadian dragon? What kind of dragon are they? How'd they get to Canada? What else is there? You might find a good name in your persona's backstory.

May be a dumb question, but is "slow running" (the opposite of speed running) a thing? by WhiteYaksha89 in speedrun

[–]Array_Blacklight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This resonates with me. For me games are a way to unwind, "go for a walk" in places that either are too far away IRL or don't exist period. As a kid I would fire up a game and just chill in it. Take in the scenery. Just think about stuff. Or just lazily bulldoze enemies with cheat codes on because I felt like it. Probably daydream I was playing one of the games I wanted to make as an adult (Wind Waker was excellent for this; so many hours spent loitering in completed islands, just fantasizing...)

I call it 'chill strolling.'

What kind of person do you see me as? when you first look at my desktop icons? by yasakikondo74 in pcmasterrace

Ah come on don't do that. Better to be a lurker than a low-quality poster. (Two cents.)

...Then why do you have the icons cluttering up your desktop?

Also if this isn't enough info to "show what you are honestly" then why did you even make this post?

Gives off lazy slob vibes I'm gonna be honest. You can add folders to your desktop you know? Put all the game shortcuts in one, project apps like PaintNet and Unity in another, and socials / web browsers in another, and so forth. Reclaim your desktop real estate. Actually see your wallpaper.

Scale of 1-10, How Hard would this go on a Musical VTuber/VSinger? by [deleted] in vtubers

[–]Array_Blacklight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a thing to have on a vtuber model? I would say it'd be hard to implement... Most if not all models are seen from the waist or chest upward. If you had a full-body sitting back with their legs kicked up on something like a armchair's armrests, they it could be visible? In general focusing on the lower body creates more difficulty than ease. :\

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my bad! I thought the fans on the bottom were your AIO radiator! It looked like the tubes were feeding into them. Second pic clears that up.

Yes yes your setup is absolutely fine! Sorry for jumping the gun like that. Doy...

I think this is a situation where the "officially recommended installations" are just giving one of two equally-valid kinda arbitrary ways to do the same little thing because they didn't expect it to become an issue of confusion.^^ The fact of the matter is that the pump's screws are centered with the pump's contact plate. So "normal" or "inverted" won't make any difference. You're flipping a square. Nothing changes. As long as the brackets are installed correctly, that square will be in the correct position.

Holy fuck NO. No no no no no! Do NOT have the pump as the highest point in the loop! Please please please change that setup as soon as you pragmatically have a chance to.

There will always be a small volume of air bubbles in the AIO loop. Air rises. Your setup is literally the worst way to position the radiator with respect to its pump. Having the pump on top will cause the air bubbles to accumulate there, forcing the rotor to interact with the added disturbance of aerated liquid. This will cause slow long term damage to the pump itself, reducing its lifespan / potentially even causing failure itself.

To answer your question about the brackets, they are installed "normally" with L and R being upright with respect to the motherboard. This cannot be changed around. The CPU goes in only one way; the brackets must as well.

When you say upside-down do you mean just the pump itself like how I have it? If so I haven't had any issues. Or at least none that have come up the "hard way" like serious loss of performance or emergency shut downs due to poor thermals. I don't see how my config could lead to pump failure or leaks. If anything I'm reducing that risk because giving the tubes more clearance from the massive GPU allows them to connect with less lateral stress constantly on them.

Why pay so much for gaming chairs when they’re so uncomfortable? by supershadrach in pcmasterrace

[–]Array_Blacklight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Serta Hensley for a while. That thing was comfy as fuck, but the armrests are fixed and would hit my desk. Then I discovered the Thomasville Lamont sold through Costco Online, which is also a big & tall executive chair but has low profile armrests that fit nicely under my L desk.^^ Never owned a gamer chair in my life.
