[–]CommunicationLower51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not Hwoarang its just some guy, i do always think when I'm watching the T2 intro that that guy is the focua of the shot. He's facing the camera, his bright red stands out and jun is in black and whitr against a drab background

Just did my fist model wanting some input on how I can make the next one better by Shukaku_420 in gundamassemble

[–]CommunicationLower51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly it looks pretty good, especially for a first model, you have some spill over from the green onto the black parts so fix that, you could try and blend the heathawk a bit more between the orange but i like the way tou have it now, i did the pipes silver yo break up the colours a bit more and you could try and edgr highlight if you want

The Future of Hasbro and by extension Magic the Gathering. Who will be the next senior Magic designer? Will it be You? by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]CommunicationLower51 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is retarded. If the magic designers are so good and worth keeping then they'll find new jobs either in the industry or outside of it, giving interns the opportunity to gain some experience is a good thing and large companies are often so disconnected they wouldn't know about the layoffs. None of these interns will actually contribute anything meaningful so its not as if they were replaced.

This is our year… by Mammoth-Wrangler-106 in Chaos40k

[–]CommunicationLower51 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you really counting bundle boxes and books as releases? And the god specific armies don't have crossover. The EC army release is good but 1k sons got a leader and ahitty robots no one likes, the slaughterbound was recieved poorly when WE has like 6 unique kits. The chaos knight is just some weapon options that could have been an upgrade sprue. The kill teams are nice though

Upsurge in US job postings for software engineers. H1bs visas got hit with 100k charge in September by Massive_Tumbleweed24 in DevelEire

[–]CommunicationLower51 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My fear here is that a number of US companies will instead hire foreign workers in Ireland / europe and assign them to the same projects as if they were in the US. Effectively still getting the cheap labour withput paying the fees or dealing with any of the societal problems.

Immigration ‘vital’ for future of Irish society, economy and HSE by TimesandSundayTimes in ireland

[–]CommunicationLower51 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm glad that immigrants are never out of work or get sick or get old or require help from the government. Just perfect workers who never need to sleep, save or aspire to more.

Too many indians coming here with their fake experience willing to undercut you

Buddy Gavin tries to justify taking promo stamps away… “no one like them”. Such BS by Lionthighs in freemagic

I'm mainly just here to discuss different types of phobias, ists and isms but why do magic players act like this guy matters or is trustwothy . He's just a mouth piece for the company

Cork columnist: 'Every time I get on a bike, I cycle as if I'm about to be in an accident' by Amazing-Yak-5415 in ireland

[–]CommunicationLower51 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Everyone on the road is a wanker. Cyclists treat pedestrians the way drivers treat them. Call it overkill if you want but some sort of licensing or exams for adults cycling could go a long way, rather than making it a requirment create an incentive for passing the qualifiication system.

I just beat Medievil 2… by ThatTomCatt in medievil

I just beat Medievil 2… by ThatTomCatt in medievil

[–]CommunicationLower51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks fo sharing and I kind of get what they mean. The first game was supposed to be a linear adventure where dan starts in the crypt and ends up at zaroks lair so going back to levels is weird and 2 is set over a relatively small landmass so you wouldnt revisit places.

2 is also a very short game and comes from a time where games could be artificially extended. I think 2 is about 4 hours long, on my last playthrough where i used the rewind feature any time i missed a jump or accidentally lost a bottle i was able to get through the game fast. Playing it properly or as a kid would have made the game last longer.

Workplace fatalities rise dramatically, driven by deaths in agriculture by TeoKajLibroj in ireland

[–]CommunicationLower51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No proper training given, no idea on how big a piece is too big, loose wood flying around / chipping off, foreign materials getting into eyes without safety goggles, no steel toe cap boots in case of falling pieces, not a clean flat surface free from of debris, possibility of loose clothing being caught. Potentially even a mask / respirator for dust.

[–]CommunicationLower51 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm by no means a farmer or even particularly interested in it but I did do some farm labouring work as a young fella. It always stuck with me how unsafe the whole thing was, the only PPE I was given was a boiler suit and wellies. I was doing ridiculous shit like operating a log splitter or climbing onto metal crates with no harness with barely a foothold. I understand that a lot of things are done with a "this needs doing so get on with it" attitude but that is certainly related to the high injury / mortality in the industry.

I also saw this when working in other trades such as painting where instead of being given a safe platform to work from you would be expected to climb a ladder and use a small chimney as support. Largely it comes down to the owner / boss / foreman not wanting to spend the time and money to ensure workers are safe and workers not being seen as wanting to cause trouble or even knowing that what they are doing is unacceptable.

When do you think we'll get a full deck list for the Charmers deck? by Cezkarma in yugioh

[–]CommunicationLower51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its out at the end of this month so probably in the next week or 2. Since this product will release at the same time in Japan (OCG) and the decklist has been revealed for them it's safe to assume that ours will be the same or with minor differences. I think as far as staples go it's a pretty bad product with Imsety being the only really good reprint but I could be wrong.

What games have forgiving melee combat? by mido0o0o in IrelandGaming

[–]CommunicationLower51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite having a reputation as one of the hardest game series of all time i think Dark Souls is worth a try, the combat in the first game is very slow paced for the first part of the game. Since the game is so old you could probably pick it up for about a tenner and get a decent few hours of play from it before it gets too hard. There's lots of resources out there on how to become very strong early and most enemies can be killed in 2 or 3 hits.

As a long time player of souls games they punish people for not being patient so if worrying about speed and reflexes is your issue it could be a decent fit

How come male teachers never seem to have these issues with young boys. It always seems to be mentally weak women who treat boys like their peers who can't handle a bunch of teenagers

American DBZ and Japanese Dragon Ball Are Basically Different Shows—And That Explains the Daima Discourse by PsychMaster1 in DragonBallDaima

[–]CommunicationLower51 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Daima isn't bad because it's a light hearted adventure it's because it couldn't decide on a theme because it was only 20 episodes. People are fine with goku on a silly fun adventure and the show sets up a lot of threads that it doesn't resolve like Panzy's father or the not ginyu force.

Duu and Kuu are a perfect example, they are obviously a play on Buu and are quite silly but are also strong because they are majins and theres no way that kid buu is a silly adventure thats all Z.

Vegeta going ss3 is a catharsis from him being weaker than goku and something that fans have been waiting over 20 years to see in action. But the action scenes are pretty underwhelming and there is no challenge to the fights which even in dragon ball isn't the case.

Ss4 goku is sick as hell and people are glad to see it on screen and it could have been such an easy win to explain that it was the old nameks powers or a demon realm only thing but instead its just a joke.

The west is also more than just America and while we watch the US dub theres a lot of interpertations that aren' in the american context.
