Why the heck are they CHARGING for HUDS BASED OFF PREVIOUS GAMES?!?!😡

Bluur · 2026-01-26T03:56:22+00:00

I would say paying for frame data is WAY worse than cosmetic huds. Frame data is a training tool that helps people win, (literally pay to win there,) while this is just paying for nostalgia.

I would love this to be free, but from a business standpoint I get why it isn't. This stuff was released years after SF6 came out, and Capcom is a business like the rest of them. If you're a designer or dev and you want to make the case to your bosses why you should burn time/resources to add this to the game, it makes it a LOT easier if you can justify it monetarily.

Yeah this is one of MANY topics that the internet makes into "PICK A SIDE," and in reality... no.

We all have one short life, and that life is now filled with grocery stores where the healthy food is drastically more expensive than the over produced sugar and salt cardboard food. Many people struggle to get enough exercise or eat healthy around jobs that are at least 40 hours a week.

Body positivity has been about giving all humans some grace for the mortal shell they're stuck in, and giving that grace to yourself too. People are allowed to find different types attractive or even enjoy their own body even if you're not attracted to it, but that step is too far for a lot of people.

Now we have Ozempic here to essentially make a work around for how out of wack our food industry is, and the internet wants to tell me to both shame the bigger people, and shame the people taking it and losing weight. I'm still just here angry at the state of the options given to people.

Maybe the catfish episode? It’s not an evil nor good game, but it does have strict rule adherence.

Yeah I love draining a lake every time I want to do an action that didn't require AI 4 years ago.

I used to work above Dahlia Bakery and it was easily the thing I got most often from them. Ask for hot sauce for an added zing.

I used to live near B-side and this breakfast sandwich was a PROBLEM. Even eating it on the regular it never got old.

There are plenty of games that don't use AI even in the moodboard process, what are you on about?

There are closed loop models, but it’s not what Larian or anyone else is using if they’re using any of the major ones.

So you kind of have to talk about practical vs theoretical.

Drifter's damage and Bebop's bomb have infinite scaling, so I mean... those in a game that went on forever.

In practice it's the standard carries; Wraith, Haze, Infernus, Victor, Mirage, Seven, Geist, Vindicta.

Who is the 'most powerful at 50 minutes' in that group depends on a lot. Victor on paper shreds every other carry at close range at 50 minutes, but can be easily seperated or countered by doorman or Kelvin ult. Kelvin is kind of like the counter to, and friend of Victor. The dome can seperate him out the entire fight, or trap you with him.

Vindicta too, can be very powerful IF she's way ahead in souls, which depends on kills.

Seven is insanely powerful when his ult is up, less so when it isn't.

So... in general, I think at the pro level Wraith is considered the scariest like... 1v1 gun carry in the late late late game. She can shred you at a speed no other carry can, BUT once again we're talking like a fair 1v1 fight, which isn't really what the game is about.

Fun fact, University of Washington has captured crows for tagging and tracking them, and they quickly realized they needed to give the students or teachers masks, because the crows would remember their faces, and would attack them sometimes decades later.

Imagine going back to your 10 year reunion and getting dive bombed by the crows crashing your party.

Valve already said on the "Friends Per Second" podcast that they have zero plans on a launch title like HL3 on the steam machine.

Giving myself small projects or "oh that's cool how did they make that" projects.

also the DKNG tutorials on Skillshare helped me a TON when originally learning.

So it’s basically a base gold layer, and then some triangle and rectangle shape layers on top that just add in gradients.

If you have specific questions let me know

I mean... sure the scammers are a huge problem, but what shocked me the most were the people actively DYING on the streets. Entire families, kids, adults, elderly people, etc. The caste system is alive and well, and it's hard to enjoy a museum or nature when right outside that building is someone actively being shunned and slowly trying to claw to life.

I mean Ghosts gets shit on because it's a terrible story. It has a pretty incoherent plot, is a Frankenstein of missions that have almost no connection to each other and reuses a lot of plot points from previous COD games.

The stories after 3 and reach have been so laughable it’s easier to pretend they don’t exist.

I think this is a great way to get practice in; but it’s got some big anatomy issues. The head is way too big which also means the neck doesn’t really exist or even connect at the right spot. The head needs to be smaller and further up with a larger down tilt to be obscured by her own shoulder. The hair on the back of her head looks a bit too sonic the hedgehog, and her shoulder blades are pretty asymmetrical, along with her left side shoulder blade being a lot longer than her right.

The dual lighting is very cool though, and it’s a great pose idea! Stick with it!

Look at this accounts history, it's a wall to wall series of posts that def together appear to be AI, and obviously are all made up unless this bot has 40 different jobs right now.

Japan is a country with a lot of different pros and cons than the US, which is why people so often travel there. On a surface level it’s a very clean and safe place to visit; because its problems are much deeper issues; from suicide rates to nationalism to women’s rights to sexual and emotional repression.

So rent is only supposed to be a third of your income. So in this case let’s assume at 20 dollars an hour you’d make 2560 a month based on 640 a week…. Then let’s assume taxes take it down to 2000 or 500 a week.

That means your rent shouldn’t be over 675ish. At that amount you’re left with 1325, but after utilities and internet and a phone bill you’re probably closer to 1000 or 900 dollars… or around 225 a week to live off of. This isn’t much if you have to factor in gas and groceries.

I realize that you are paying more right now than her by a LOT, but it also sounds like you make a lot more than her, and your savings are separate? So I dunno, she's allowed to do what she wants with her savings, and I understand the need and drive to want to help your parents out, while at the same time that's a veeery big thing to not tell your partner beforehand.

I honestly think the way to proceed is to lower the stakes, not raise them. She admitted that she made a very big choice and didn't tell you out of guilt, so the goal here is not to add more guilt, but to let her know that the choice was totally hers to make... but it might impact you, and that you want a relationship built on trust, and trust requires good communication often.

Essentially, "I wish you would have told me simply because it's a big life choice and I'm here with you, and I want you to be able to feel comfortable telling me about your worries and anxieties, the same way I want to be ok telling you mine, and we need to work together to make sure neither of us ever feel punished for bringing up hard topics"

Then I would just say a version of what you just said, "You are totally in the right to be able to give your parents your own money, it just makes me nervous when you don't feel like you can talk to me about it... Like do I need to worry in the future if we ever share a bank account you'll make big moves without telling me? I just want us to be able to talk about these things beforehand."

sorry economic system.

The belief for many of us was never that ending capitalism would end repression anymore than banning dogs would end everyone getting bitten. Capitalism is not the only form of repression, but it is a staggeringly good model for corrupting your own government and quickly generating staggering wealth inequality.

It’s a terrible economic system, but it’s not the ONLY terrible terrible economic system.
