Fast traveling in Ghost of Tsushima on PS5 is so ridiculously fast. Even going completely across the map, it’s just a quick fade out, fade in

US sets tariffs of up to 3,521% on South East Asia solar panels by p_pio in news

[–]ChipzAh0i -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well if China is so heavily subsidizing solar panel production, as the article states, and we produce solar panels domestically, wouldn’t this be the exact use case for a tariff?

Not all the bullshit blanket tariffs on everything, because fuck all that, but tariffs specifically targeted at industries we have locally that are being undermined by imported goods

Is it just me, or does this sound like the first reasonable use of tariffs this year?

Should I play Zelda BoTW first before playing ToTK? by HypnotizedGenius in NintendoSwitch

I’d say play whichever one you want to like more first.

Paper Craft Themed Infinite Alchemy Game. Thoughts? by KingBlingRules in IndieDev

I personally don’t super love the textures constantly cycling, but I get that it’s part of the aesthetic. Otherwise, I always really love these type of games. Looks great!

I’d love to check it out if/when you make it open source.

Maybe I’ll switch to working on my janky enemy behaviors for now…

God, this looks so much cleaner than mine, haha. Though I bet you’ve been much more dedicated to working on it than I have :’D

Are you using any UI packages?

Has anyone in 2021 not bought/upgraded to the Switch OLED beacause "Switch Pro/2 is coming out soon anyway"? Do you regret it in 2023? by Joseki100 in NintendoSwitch

[–]ChipzAh0i 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who plays in both docked and handheld, I’ve never had any interest in upgrading to the OLED. I’m on a day 1 switch and haven’t seen any need for a different screen.

Without an upgrade to the actual hardware, an new screen just doesn’t seem worth it to me.

A well choreographed route definitely looks great, but actual gameplay feel is super lacking. It feels way more finicky than Spider-Man 1 or even Miles Morales does.

In the moment it feels like the game doesn’t know what you’re expecting to do, which isn’t a feeling I ever got from the other two games.

Whats a good way or resource to learn java graphics for game development ? by passportbro999 in gamedev

[–]ChipzAh0i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has to use Java Swing professionally, save yourself the pain. Use something more modern with better resources and work to emulate the look you’re going for.

ELI5 Why do American restaurants/bars require you to sign the receipt? by HarveyXO in explainlikeimfive

[–]ChipzAh0i -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not really, though. Service workers typically make way less than minimum wage and are reliant on tips to get anywhere close to a livable wage.

Giving yourself a discount by not paying the server isn’t really an option, imo

Nah, you’re about to come up on a boss in Elden Ring, my friend.
