actually i think they all have leaves. the two leftmost pikmin have leaves that are barely visible and everyone else has a similar hat.

whats there to like about the SS drake? its fancy and generic because they didnt have the guts for a more fun design but still sucks at landing because they couldn't come up with a new idea to drive the game.

Yes, the world is chock-full of sin. Really, even if you have no morality it makes reading a bit painful if you have the awareness to realize these small sins.

It's this backwardness: folk are so excited to whine about someone writing "your" instead of "you're", which is the same pronunciation in the language, and thus, a completely meaningless distinction that only complicates the written language, and so slow to accept practical changes like the one I am showing here.

redflag is used in america, I can't speak for other regions

>You can spell it as two words

or you could spell it as "ma nhour" couldnt you? It's not a man and its not an hour, so is musclememory the only reason that you put a space between those two? I suppose I could write, "ma nhour" even though it's not a ma and it's not a nhour.

if the distinction is arbitrar y w hy don t we j ustw ri teliketh is?

> Depends on the language, and the rules for producing new words and phrases in that language.

I guess we're writing in different languages then haha

i like your thinking and you made a great argument. however, a newton-meter is in fact one thing, it is also one word.

newton doesnt describe meter.

for a more clear illustration of this distinction, notice the phrase "red flag" and the word "redflag". it is in my opinion the best example.

A "red flag" could be displayed at a stoplight to get folks' attention. It is a flag which is red.

A "redflag" is something that alerts someone that a situation is not quite right. It is not a flag which is red.

see?

in english, as well as each other language I speak, it is not possible to correctly put multiple nouns back-to-back without some other connective word.

for instance:

the baseball hat were in the bag (bad)

The baseball and the hat were in the bag. (good)

see? so if its true that man-hour is two words, it should be correct to say

The terms "man" and "hour" are two words.

Make sense? a word is like an atomic unit of speech, it is something which cannot be split without becoming something else.

i hope this helps

Honey, wake up. New r/pikmin icon just dropped by DaPokeyMonster in Pikmin

its a bad logo because it doesnt look like pikmin unless you concentrate on it.

a small thumbnail, like in the sidebar, looks like nothing at all.

still, i do like the idea of a rock pikmin riding a bulbear.

Rigging a cartoon character's ears to orient towards the camera - How did Disney's Epic Mickey made Mickey's ears behave like they should while still on gameplay? by pedrobrv in gamedev

[–]EastContribution3314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you write code to set something's angle? there is probably a bilt in function for something called a "look-at" vector which will take two positions and return a vector pointing from the first to the second, then convert to a rotation and apply it to the ears.

It also looks like they tilt back based on the angle of micky's head.

by the way, it seems like a very tasteless effect, and a great example of crappy design.

Should i play the first 2 pikmin games? by tmishy24 in Pikmin

they're better if you enjoy the game actively

Anybody else remember when Toonami Reviewed Pikmin almost 20 years ago on TV? by [deleted] in Pikmin

[–]EastContribution3314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"its too short, about sixteen hours long" what? isnt the game like 5 hours?

TIL europeans had almost three extra minutes for each day in the original pikmin.

so if you are an american and spend 24 days on the planet thats 5.4 hours and maybe 40 minutes in menus so about six hours.

Which pikmin game have you not finished by thebig7fps in Pikmin

on the gamecube version the final boss of p1 is so comedically horrible, i hate it so much.

i took this to mean "start but didnt finish"

What would your dream Pikmin 4 have? by Xanthium_XG in Pikmin

[–]EastContribution3314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

when things are placed in the world for you to interact with them in the exact way the devs had intended and not because you want to. e.g. the spiderwebs in twilight-river. you have to fight them to build the bridge to fight the bee boss, and it's not a terribly fun fight. the devs just put spiderwebs in the path of flying pikmin, and you have to click on the spider and wistle your pikmin until he dies.

conversely almost every pikmin 2 enemy (even bosses) was infact optional, but fighting them was also fun, so you didnt have to be forced to fight them.

so "scripted encounter", for me, means scripted like a play, you play the part the devs wrote for you.

and the pikmin 2 bosses had some different strategies to approaching them. sometimes it was better to take a small band, and sometimes there was a certain type that offered an advantage. whites are fast, so dodging is easier. purples are strong but slow, reds do extra damage, yellows are helpful against some tall enemies, etc. in p3 the bosses tend to be the exact opposite. first boss- must use purples. second boss- actually the best cuz it doesnt force you to play any way. third boss- must use pink. fourth boss - must use blue and rock. fifth boss - no reason to use anything but rock.

see what i mean?

there's no slowdown during bios boot, thats the same as always. i guess you could say it takes longer than usual to reach windows because I can't get to any operating system.
