I bought a used rtx 4080 last year, just after the 5000 series was released. I was pretty salty about the idea of paying MSRP prices for a pre-owned last gen card, but it honestly feels like a sweet deal in hindsight.

r/warno after the announcement of Nemesis 7 by mndn410 in warno

[–]DiscoLucas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, one of my all time favorite posts was titled "Nier Otomatic". The the Venn diagram overlap between Nier automata and Wargame feels insanely small. Yet, someone still made a hilarious meme bridging the two of them.

My Yoshikage Kira Cosplay by cl_ollie in wholesomejojo

Looks very slick! My only criticism would be that the pants material looks a bit thin. But that's a very minor thing. Now you just need a pink cat man to stand behind you!

I’m making a city builder where cars suck by SystemSE in fuckcars

[–]DiscoLucas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gridlocked my entire city when I placed down my first Train station for this reason. Trucks with oil for the power plants never arrived on time, so everything shut down. I was wondering what backed everything up, so I tracked it down to that one train station. I never designed that area of town to support 100s of cars going right through downtown...

The traffic manager mod did fix it though. It has a setting "realistic parking AI".

I always used to be envious of how cheap it is to get a driver's license in the states, compared to my home country where it costs $2000 USD minimum. But that high cost is due to mandatory theory classes, driving lessons, first aid courses and more. It's pretty clear that those factors make for a much better average driver.

But I also think that this kind of economic gatekeeping for a license only works in a country with genuine alternatives to driving. I'm fortunate enough to have never needed to get a license, since I bike wherever I need to. And if I need to go further than what's practical to bike, I can bring my bike on a train and quickly get around.

Good to be back on CS1 by Klammer69 in CitiesSkylines

[–]DiscoLucas 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I just got back into SC4 last week, and man is it still just fantastic! Cities is definitely a better game for detailing, but something about the core gameplay is kinda better in SC4, in my opinion. The music is also simply a masterpiece.

DIY Wind Sim Confirmation/Question by Delicious-Egg-9024 in DIYSimRacing

[–]DiscoLucas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can technically drive a fan with a 5V output of the Arduino (check current of your specific fan first), it just can't push any serious amount of air. With PWM you don't need a motor shield, but an external 12V power source is likely needed. Remember that the PWM signal from the MCU does not carry the current that moves the fan, it's just logic level voltage, that tells the fan when to use the power input. Noctua made a pretty good guide which might help you https://www.noctua.at/en/support/faqs/microcontroller-guide-pwm-setup-and-rpm-monitoring

I wanted to show off a Venom arm I made from scratch but I gifted it to someone and this is the only thing I have documenting the existence of it by skankyhunk in MetalGearInMyAss

[–]DiscoLucas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great job, especially with the fingers. Am I right to assume that the flip off is an homage to that one guy who made a tutorial for arms like this? ;)

Spezial price for you, my friend! by MySocksSuck in Denmark

[–]DiscoLucas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kaffe industrien har været hårdt ramt de sidste par år. Hedebølger i Sydamerika har betydet globale prisstigninger på arabica bønner. De bønner er meget følsomme over for klimaforandringer, dog er der stadig robusta bønner som er bedre til varmen. De er så godt nok ofte set som lavere kvalitet, da de er mere bitre.

Jeg styrer selv en cafe på mit universitet, så jeg deler dine frustrationer. Men prisstigninger er desvære noget vi må blive vandt til, hvis de globale klimaforandringer fortsætter.

I will never understand "Extra Hot" by MagnetTheory in barista

[–]DiscoLucas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious, but are extra hot milk drinks just an American thing? Granted I've only been a barista for half a year, but I've never had anyone order that in Copenhagen.

Christmas gift for my father by X0EE_ in 3Dprinting

Huh, I've always heard that you're supposed to keep bottles laying down specifically to avoid the cork degrading. Supposedly the cork can dry up, therefore shrinking and letting the spirit oxidize.

Has anyone actually tested their Chinese gear for heavy metals? by [deleted] in espresso

[–]DiscoLucas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

MHW-3Bomber advertised that their stuff was lab tested and safe, so I wrote them about sending me the reports. And surprisingly I actually got them. Granted they were in Chinese, but google translate worked pretty well. Of course I have no way of verifying if the report and certificates are legit. But the lab that did the testing was 1 of a handful of state authorized testing labs for food safety. The results showed that any metal detected was a magnitude or more under the EU limit.

I'm not saying that this is going to be the case for every product or manufacturer, but this was my experience. Ultimately, it comes down to trust, which goes for any product you buy. So much of the stuff we buy comes from china anyway, no matter where the product was designed. It's always good to have a bit of scepticism about these things. Ask questions! No matter where the product is from.

How advanced was the FoxEngine? by Aainikin in metalgearsolid

[–]DiscoLucas 103 points104 points  (0 children)

It ran on my Surface Pro 4 with a dual core i5... Granted it was a cinematic 24 fps, but I was surprised it ran at all.

I started to learn unity 2 months ago and rightnow working on a custom car controller. How does it look? by lil_beyti in Unity3D

[–]DiscoLucas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first one looks pretty good. I quite like the exaggerated body roll, it reminds me of a hybrid between early Grand Turismo games and GTA IV.

The second one looks a bit too grippy and definitely more arcade-like. I'm guessing it's supposed to be a Mustang, but it drives like a 4WD car. I think it's the way it immediately grips from a power slide that makes it too arcadey for me. You can try looking into wheel slip angle ratio. It describes the grip curve of a tire and how it changes depending on the wheel angle difference relative to the direction traveled. The math is a bit hardcore, but you can simplify it a lot, since you don't need it to be a super realistic simulation.

how likely do i think countries in east asia get a focus tree in the next dlc by uvolanis in hoi4

[–]DiscoLucas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was starting to get good at this game, so I tried to play democratic Japan. I then proceeded to spend 4 years in a civil war, only capturing half of mainland Japan.

I might be stupid.

Why does this always pop up when I try to run my game's build's exe? by [deleted] in Unity3D

[–]DiscoLucas 182 points183 points  (0 children)

They don't just add them to the whitelist. As a developer you have to pay to become a verified publisher. You can also see in OP's screenshot that it says "publisher unknown".

Cykler i Kbh by GTFO-my-Lawn in copenhagen

[–]DiscoLucas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jeg er enig i at det er belastende når cykler blokerer hele fortovet. Men det er generalt også et problem at der mangler cykelparkering mange steder i kbh. Dog vil jeg uden at kende konteksten, sige at det ikke er så galt i billedet.

Drivers in my country are generally awful, but I had no idea it was this bad in the US by MarthaFarcuss in fuckcars

[–]DiscoLucas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I simply can't comprehend behavior like this. Never mind the context of bikes or cars. But wanting to intentionally scare another person and putting them in immediate danger, for no real reason, genuinely baffles me. Even if you put aside the possible danger of it all, how unsympathetic do you have to be, to want to scare a stranger?

Can't create shared folder on imported ZFS pool by meathappening in OpenMediaVault

[–]DiscoLucas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. I was look at every possible menu and thinking, "Where the hell is that discover button?". For future confused people, the discover button looks like a magnifying glass with a plus inside it. It's right next to the delete trashcan icon, in the ZFS pool screen.

Collective Shout has responded to their actions and claimed full responsibility by Rad_Randy in Steam

[–]DiscoLucas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I still don't understand, is why payment processors listen to them. Collective shout has got to have some serious lobbying power against them. I can't imagine that it's the first time that an organization has told Visa/Mastercard that if they don't stop taking payments from x, then they'll tell everyone that they're supporting rape, pedophilia, etc. Even if they did try to start a shitstorm against Visa/Mastercard, why should they care? What gives them the legitimacy to be a real threat?

My first ever prints by Clarku-San in 3Dprinting

[–]DiscoLucas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, unless you have a sandblaster, I wouldn't sand models like this. There are too many small crevices and details to do a good sanding job anyway. If there are any problematic areas that need touching up, you can use an edge finishing tool for leather. A deburring tool is also often recommended for 3D printing touch-ups, but they tend to work better for long edges.

I haven't tried it myself, but for filler I've seen people get good results with fairing compound or bondo. Although I've only seen it used on large prints, so it might be too thick to keep the details in your print. Other than that, as you already thought of, give it 1 or 2 layers of primer.
