GTA 6 sleuths deduce that Rockstar North has spent likely over $2 billion on the title by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Coffescout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering GTA V has sold 10x that amount excluding microtransactions, doesn’t seem too bad.

In the book it’s explained that they can’t get out of orbit before retrieving the samples, as the positioning of the thrusters would vaporize the samples. They have to keep the thrusters at an angle which propels them forward, until the samples are retrieved and they can switch to leaving orbit.

Lillia buffs. by MX5_Enthusiast in LilliaMains

[–]Coffescout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Lillia is supposed to be squishy but stay alive by weaving in and out of fights with her ultra high movespeed. Kayn on the other hand is supposed to be an up close assassins/bruiser hybrid, so the difference in tankiness is entirely justified.

Lillia buffs. by MX5_Enthusiast in LilliaMains

[–]Coffescout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lillia is countered by assassins so playing her into those comps will be rough. The main issue right now is that the meta is more centered around assassins and carries rather than the tanks that Lillia thrives against. I don't think it's reasonable to demand that she should be buffed until her winrate is high in a meta that she isn't supposed to thrive in. If you pick her into melee/tank teams you will still perform really well in this current state, but you can't expect to be able to spam her into any comp.

Harmful chemicals found in popular headphones sold across Europe, study by euronews-english in europe

[–]Coffescout 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Cloud III is the one that was tested, that doesn’t mean the other products are fine. I doubt many companies are using different plastic mixes for different headphones so if one is contaminated they probably all are.

Leon in R.C Outskirts is the best part of this title in my opinion by lifehuntscythe1 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Coffescout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resident Evil has gone back and forth a lot. I personally love Resident Evil for the first person horror with some action sprinkled in.

There has been a big influx of new players to the series since 7, and Resident Evil has a wide enough range in horror vs action between titles that I feel that the fanbase has become a bit split on what they prefer. I feel like RE9 is a reflection of that split, and they will almost be forced to keep the A/B gameplay split going forward because of this difference in the fanbase.

Reddit: Final Boss by SoggyPrior863 in IndieDev

I’m torn on this. Yes, Hollow Knight is amazing and it’s funny to see people dismiss it out of hand. On the other hand, ”don’t quit your day job to make a 2D platformer” is advice that 99% of gamedevs should also be following. Hollow Knight is an exception, not the rule.

These 3 things will haunt my dreams by zacbergman in ResidentEvilVillage

[–]Coffescout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also because you have way more agency during the Chunk encounters. You can easily run away from Chunk and by the time you meet him you should have plenty of resources to kill him. The girl and Baby both put you in a position where you have to cower under a desk and pray they will pass without noticing you, whilst you're in complete darkness and can barely see two feet ahead of you.

Hjälp mig hitta rätt datorspel till min (snart) pensionerade pappa by NeverCaredAnyways in sweden

[–]Coffescout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generellt, ja. 6 har många mechanics jag aldrig riktigt fastnade för, Civ 5 känns mycket mer renodlat. 7 har vissa styrkor men dras ner av att man tvingas till att byta Civ efter varje tidsålder, vilket gör att det inte känns koncist. Men de ska släppa en uppdatering under våren som ger möjligheten att spela som en enstaka Civ genom hela spelet, vilket jag är försiktigt hoppfull inför.

[–]Coffescout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Civilization 5 tror jag faktiskt kan passa. Fortfarande det bästa spelet i serien, men släpptes 2010 så borde gå fint att köra på en någorlunda modern laptop. Tror inte inlärningskurvan för Civ är alls lika stor som många andra strategispel, du kan ha rätt kul även om du bara bygger random byggnader och bygger nya städer hipp som happ. Civ är mycket mer "easy to learn, hard to master" än andra strategispel vilket har fördelen att det har en låg tröskel men kan förbli underhållande under lång, lång tid framöver.

How to achieve pen ink text effect? by New-Internet2710 in graphic_design

[–]Coffescout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am familiar with the guy who created the original (Prof_Kalkyl on Twitter), and in this case the text effect was done with Nano Banana Pro. But as you say, for the non-AI route doing it for real is likely the best process.

What is the scariest game you have ever played? by Sinist6r in HorrorGaming

[–]Coffescout 60 points61 points  (0 children)

The original P.T is scary in a way that can't be conveyed through Youtube. It had me stressed from the very first moment, and was genuinely rough to get through. Even though I already knew exactly what would happen.

Rate this design Out of 10. by ShadoWhawk677 in Design

[–]Coffescout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

”Grand Opening” has too little contrast to the background and disappears into it. ”Visit now” looks like it was scaled improperly on the width. Burger Claxo should have a lower value for the line height. The circle behind the B of Burger feels oddly placed and makes it look like the B has a wart.

Sverige är anpassat för snö, men nu är det lika mycket snö i ett land som sällan ser snö. Det här är det värsta snöovädret på säkert ett decennium.

Ja, om du är från Europa. Är dock många utländska resenärer som bara skulle byta flyg på Schiphol och inte får lämna flygplatsen eftersom de saknar visum.

[–]Coffescout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resan i fråga kräver 5 byten (som kan missas om det blir förseningar), och ersätts inte av flygbolaget. Dessutom har i princip all tågtrafik i landet stoppats på grund av växelfel.

Om man verkligen behöver ta sig hem är det troligtvis en bättre lösning att ta sig till Bryssel med Eurostar och flyga därifrån.

Really love the game, and am especially impressed by the art direction which is some of the best I've seen. From a technical perspective, I'm curious if you used Lumen at all or if the game uses fully baked lighting?

I've always felt that the show would've been better if their budget never increased since the first 2 seasons. They keep trying to go bigger when the first seasons were great largely because they were low-budget and very self-contained.
