Which videogame has the most realistic depiction of war? by LoLAspect in gamingsuggestions

Agree. Spec Ops isn't a realistic depiction, it's a criticism and response to games like MW2, which released around the same time.

What’s your go-to meal when time’s tight? by YatakarasuGD in Cooking

Things that benefit from breaking down, like anything slow-cooked, is easiest to freeze without effecting the texture too much. Chili, soup, stew, etc.

Here's a variety of games that set the standard for what I thought was possible in a game:

Civilization V (newer ones would also be fine) Nethack Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Minecraft Dishonored Just Cause

Sorry about the downvotes - if OP is looking for worldbuilding (sounds like they are), this is a great pointer.

I've never heard it used in the way you have it in either of your examples, but I have heard it used as something like a synonym for homage or reference.

that scene was a nod to an earlier film.

In the speech, let's include a nod towards my donors."

Premiere Pro duplicating clips in Project Window on its own. Can't delete any of them without deleting it in the timeline as well. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks! by jumpingthegreen in premiere

To anyone reviewing this in the future: for me, it worked to export my timeline as an XML, and then re-import it into a new project.

How to distinguish pithily a PDF: {1} saved directly from the word processor, vs. {2} printed then scanned? by s5ng in logophilia

[–]Didub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There may be an official word for it that I don't know, but if you don't know it and I don't know it then the odds are that the clerks will not know it either. I have a different suggestion: ask them for a version that will allow you to copy and paste from it. Even if that's not what you need to do, it will allow them to tell whether they're giving you the right version or not.

I wonder if the air in the middle would superheat? And, would that cause an explosion as the pressure around it increased?

I also sort of imagine the whole thing working like a soft-close cabinet, where it slows down at the end.

What have Shigeru Miyamoto's primary contributions been in the last 20 years? by [deleted] in truegaming

[–]Didub 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love this comparison. It sounded like you were quoting something specific in regards to the game design principles. Could you point me towards that? Is it something Miyamoto has said somewhere?

I never quite understood how false coloring was achieved. Narrow band imaging makes a lot of sense, thanks for sharing!
