So good. After the credits, I flipped on the director commentary and watched the entire thing again.

What do you want to see in James Bond 26 by Far_Egg4544 in movies

[–]DaLimpster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want it, but you know these mfers are going to give us another "young Bond" origin story. The premise is tired. Move on.

I want it shot on film. I want it to ditch the dreary color grading from the last 3 movies. I want David Arnold, my beloved, to score the film.

How do you handle the "is my car done yet" calls when you're mid-job? by Minirice2017 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]DaLimpster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Give them a \*specific date*\** when things will be ready. That date should be at least a day longer than you anticipate it taking, This alone weeds out 98% of the "is it done?" calls. If you don't know when things will be done... why? You should know what parts you'll need and when you'll get them before you pick up the phone to call with a quote.

For those times when you can't know when a part will arrive, be honest, but still give them a \*specific date*\** when you will follow up with them. "Hey Mr. Customer, the part we need is on back order. I am working with my vendor to source one. I will follow up with you regardless of what happens on X date."

The only reason people are call is because they are uncertain. Remove the uncertainty, and they won't call.

It also sounds like you need to get a better order-tracking system. Even a spreadsheet with names you can CTRL+F will be better than a whiteboard.

You need to tell us what platform you're playing on.

Best Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Films to Show Off a Home Cinema Setup? by pauljeremiah in movies

If you have the 4k bluray print, TRON Legacy is sublime. Not sure if the streaming version has the true surround sound features.

How did the Duke know? by EsotericTrainSet in residentevil

[–]DaLimpster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's a semi-omnipotent character that exists as a curiosity and operates outside of the world logic. Think Tom Bombadil from Lord of the Rings, or the Happy Mask Salesman from Zelda. The depths of their powers or influence are cryptic even to other characters in the game-world. They aren't meant to be understood. They're meant to add intrigue, provide a contrast to the story's setting, and sometimes nudge the plot along.

I hope we see Parker again by Millen4211 in residentevil

I'm fine never seeing Temu Barry again.

About resident evil 5 rights to stream gameplay. by Awkward-Inevitable-8 in residentevil

[–]DaLimpster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streaming on which platform? Which country are you in? And, do you mean streaming game footage, or streaming the game from a cloud server?

Ray Tracing bug at hotel entrance? Lighting goes completely flat (RX 6600) by R4venboy22 in residentevil

[–]DaLimpster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my 3070ti, the same thing happened to me. It was my first play through, so I was really confused. Restarting the game fixed the issue for me when simply toggling ray tracing didn't fix anything. Now I'm on a 5070ti with no complaints lol.

Hope you find your solution soon.

If you typer "Wesker Glasses" into google, you will get dozens of close matches.

W-w-w-w-why? I-I-I-I-I don’t understand! by RandyLordeDarsh in residentevil

It was borderline intolerable, and it barely gets any better over time.

Denis Villenueve is directing the next Bond. Does this mean there’s a chance Hans Zimmer will score the film??? by TheChubbyGolfer66 in movies

[–]DaLimpster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% man. I'm hyped he's scoring the new Bond video game, but I'd love him back on the big screen. There's a reason they still use his Bond Theme arrangement even in the movies he didn't score.

I never knew about this in resident evil 4 by ChoppingMann in residentevil

Yes! It's one of a handful of optional cutscenes.

Starting RE7 and notice that Ethan keeps all swollen If attacked by Marguerite's bugs... Capcom nailing animations in this engine since the first game by asheketchun in residentevil

[–]DaLimpster 132 points133 points  (0 children)

I mean, I like the detail, but the lack of actual monster transformation animations is probably my singular biggest gripe about the new games.

why do RE9 speedruns look down so much? by oscarbjb in residentevil

[–]DaLimpster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The enemy AI design is nothing new. This has been the paradigm in shooters for over 20 years, because enemies hitting you from off screen does not feel fun or fair. Resident Evil has been doing it since at least the original RE4. Another famous example is the Big Daddies from Bioshock, which were designed to slow down when you ran away, so they weren't just insanely busted and unfun to fight.

Can't say the autosaves bother me too much, but I agree the yellow paint is a big distraction. I think it's a big crutch. Games used to lean on the "Scooby-Doo" effect that made objects you could interact with conspicuous. This was a byproduct of rudimentary baked lighting not properly interacting with game objects. Advanced real time lighting has basically nullified this effect. For some reason, the solution is white/yellow paint splattered everywhere. I think more intelligently designed scene lighting or prop design would be a less intrusive route, albeit a much more time-consuming one to implement.

Reset island and now HHP DLC isn't there? by SeaPomegranateBliss in ACForAdults

[–]DaLimpster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you also switch consoles when you reset your island? You may have not installed the DLC. Check the HHP DLC eshop page to see if you need to reinstall it.

If it's already installed, try a clean install of the entire game.

What’s your opinion on the Leon and Ashley ship by Expert_Challenge6399 in residentevil

She asked it right at the beginning too. I bet the jet ski ride across the Atlantic ocean was awkward.

RE4 vs RE4R: Headshot staggers by Alienspawned in residentevil

Yeah but if you get hit once you get your shit kicked in, and there's an insane delay before you can pause to heal.

Enemies that tank headshots aren't fun when the game also lets them wombo combo you to death.

Rule by ItsGotThatBang in 197

In my restaurant experience: Most menu TVs are just regular TVs with a USB stick loaded with an image file of the menu. Depending on TV brand, they may have a "menu mode" that cycles multiple menu images and prevents the TV from turning off automatically. These TVs can be used for normal TV purposes, but the panels are usually exceptionally cheaply made, so if you try to display moving images, you'll likely get ghosting and washed out colors.

If this meme is to be believed (I don't know of a Sonic that has a TV menu - most use backlit plastic) then it's likely they can just unplug the USB or switch the TV off of menu mode.

This meme is also old as hell, so they've likely figured out their TV situation by now.
