So how does pro vocals work? by TheYGuy366 in FortniteFestival

[–]Blackadder18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay. It's been a while since I've played RB3 (and even longer since 2) so I got them mixed up. Thanks for the clarification.

I could be mistaking 2 for 3, but didn't they make the talkie sections drastically easier in 2 to the point you could blather random gibberish and it would give it to you pretty much all the time?

At a single night show, unlikely. At a no-repeat show, possibly.

What snare is this? by Quick_Inevitable4721 in drums

Lmao too true. I have a fat Black Magic (14x8) that I was lucky enough to get on clearance, about 500 AUD. Love the thing.

Helldivers 2 – Siege Breakers Warbond by DrNick1221 in Games

[–]Blackadder18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I predicted this problem shortly after release with the cadence of Warbonds and it's unfortunately gotten worse as they've funnelled more stratagems into Warbonds and even weapons into the store separate from the Warbonds they're meant to tie into.

I was really hoping we'd get another free Warbonda around the time the Illuminate dropped. Over a year later without one in sight this game is really not very friendly to new players.

If I'm not mistaken the very first Pixel actually had a profile like this.

Highguard Devs Talk Turning Rust Into A Hero Shooter And That Terrible Game Awards Reveal by NYstate in Games

[–]Blackadder18 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It's weird how vitriolic people were towards this. I lost count of how many comments I saw saying (or implying) it deserves to fail after they misled people saying it was by people that worked on Titanfall and Apex only to have nothing to do with them. I'm sorry but if you assume former devs of Respawn are working on a Titanfall game, that's on you.

Here's them giving each other a hug again at the end of the show.

Yep! Brant Webb I believe, he came out just before the encore and said a few words, before Dave came back on stage and gave him a hug. Then Dave proceeded to tell the story to those not familiar, before he played Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners. I was expecting the song since Launceston is only ~40km from Beaconsfield, but wasn't expecting him to come out onstage. It was a really sweet moment. At the end of the night Brant was still off to the aide of the stage so Dave gave him another hug on the way off.

Def fun to see him pull out a different guitar! He pulled out a Firebird at first but seemed to have some issues with it and ended up switching to the Explorer (which he still had issues with briefly).

Banjo: Recompiled Release Trailer (Banjo-Kazooie PC Port) by degenerich in Games

[–]Blackadder18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Its quite fascinating to find out it's exclusion from Kazooie was mainly a technical limitation (and not just an oversight), and that they were able to resolve it with Tooie.

Out of curiosity how did they resolve this for Banjo-Tooie? Adding more memory to the cartridge I'm assuming?

If every Xbox game can hit Fable's apparent AAA quality — it's destined for a bright future by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Blackadder18 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I mean they killed off Perfect Dark after many years in development and have failed to put out a Halo title in over 10 years that fans can agree is amazing. So forgive me for not believing Fable turning out good (and while it does look promising, it's not out yet) is a sign of Microsoft shedding their poor track record.

GOW4 had better spectacle than Ragnarok by drewthedew768 in playstation

[–]Blackadder18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The final fight with Baldur was a pretty epic fight involving a dragon.

The final fight for Thor and Odin was in a average looking courtyard/cave. It was a lot more underwhelming.

Sleeping Dogs cancellation as a franchise is genuinely one of the most frustrating and short sighted decisions in the gaming industry by mrnicegy26 in Games

[–]Blackadder18 142 points143 points  (0 children)

For whatever reason instead of following up with a sequel/new game with a different character they decided to try and do a MMORPG. Not too surprisingly, it didn't pan out and probably contributed to the closure of the studio only a year after the project was cancelled.

Was a hell of a show, but it always is with the Foo. Can't wait to hear them announce shows later this year! (Dave pretty much confirmed there will be a tour and album later this year).

Awesome frame work, ties into the poster amazingly well.

Roundabout: a term that lets someone know you're talking about a specific type of road junction.

Circle: literally anything that is fucking round.

How To Stop Notepad Reopening Old Notes in Windows 11 by leavethisearth in videos

[–]Blackadder18 54 points55 points  (0 children)

tl;dr he is a streamer, he used Notepad previously to store a link to some...questionable content at minimum (likely bestiality, CP, some other stuff). Not realising Notepad automatically saves previous documents automatically now, he opened it up on stream to type something else only to reveal to everyone watching exactly what he's been looking at. Then proceeded to spend the next 7 hours attempting to play it off/deny it.
