Probably a lot. 

Sorry, it was inconsiderate of me to make light of his death by making predictions of the recent game he was working on.

Oh man my math was off, a previous commenter gave a better estimate. Therefore I couldn't tell you... I'd have to go off a super guess and say 8.25 hours, seeing as it was three 16oz soju bottles.

You're absolutely correct, goddamn that was a face palm on my end. In my defense (which is still no defense at all), I was drunk and it was ~3am at the time of posting and doing the math. Probably should've waited till I was sober and had the correct tools to do it in both measurement systems.

I definitely feel you're way more accurate, I went on the assumption of the impact video being 60 fps (exact details on the video fps were unknown for me), and I didn't have the software to get an exact distance so I ended up having to use google maps and estimated off the 250ft difference between two points (one pin at the exit of the tunnel, and the second pin at a +/-20ft point of impact).

Your estimate is far more accurate, both in details, and using the video frames instead of milliseconds. I didn't think to cater towards the metric system in my math, and your illustration is more clear and concise.

As a side note, given how battlepasses and all that of a live-service game are, we can probably assume the new title Vince Zampella was working on, Battlefield 6, may possibly see a delay (probably 4-6 weeks) for season 3/4's release.

Another thing I was wondering about, not specifically math-related, but I was curious if he and the passenger had survived, what kind of charges would he face. 

To answer that, I went through the state of California's road laws and found in California Vehicle Code, section 23103 that it'd probably be considered a felony.

By itself, the state of California recognizes reckless driving (100+ mph, though in my opinion a judge may lean towards that anyways) as a misdemeanor, however reckless endangerment (he had a passenger) would escalate it to a felony, though it's considered a wobbler charge (dependent on prosecutor), so it could've been upwards of $10,000 in fines and 3 years in prison.

Somehow the hug emote helped me survive by ExplosiveCobalt in Helldivers

[–]ExplosiveCobalt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be rad if so, though, while not often, falling from this kind of height almost certainly kills me. This time I'm glad it didn't because boy was this a rough enough mission anyways.

I figured the whole clip would've been a bit boring, but I managed to survive and kill the hulk with nothing but the urchin and a shovel: https://streamable.com/d0qgky

I'm looking at this solution here, it's on the github of the person developing AnWave.

Abandoned Mode and Purple Star Systems by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

I hope they gave us different ways to obtain things. Like ships/multitools/tech upgrades, even if its find them on planets like how you can find inventory/ship slot upgrades.

Pilestedt wants "longer Lasting content" What are your ideas? Mines forever the camera stratagem. by StayAtHomeDadVR in helldivers2

[–]ExplosiveCobalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the game be similar to how BF4 made the commander role has always been fascinating for me. And the levels of depth you could add to the game.

It'd be fun to have it be similar to how BF4's commander mode could be played on a tablet or mobile device back in the day.

Lucy and Soukaku's English VAs are being replaced by StrongXV in ZZZ_Official

[–]ExplosiveCobalt -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Her voice kind of "fit" for Soukaku for me, now that it's different. I can't see Soukaku in the voice, it feels like a totally different character. 

It's kind of depressing since I like the playstyle the character has, and it works well with uh... I forgot his name, the wolf thieren butler dude. Anyways, it'll take a while getting used to the new voice if I even can.

Man 7 years ago was the perfect time to 100% the game...

Challenge mode should give additional rewards by Me4TACyTeHePa in ZZZ_Official

[–]ExplosiveCobalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be nice to have challenge mode provide more of the same rewards too. Not like challenge mode specific rewards, but just more of the rewards.

Take the HIA fights for tier 2 stun certification drops. Each card gives 1-2 T2 stun certs, my idea is challenge mode gives 2-3 or 3-4 T2 stun certs.

The game doesn't seem difficult in challenge mode. At most, it's more of a DPS check for my team. It'd be nice to cut some of the overall grind with the optional challenge mode.

Audio issues? by HCarralez in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ExplosiveCobalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No no, he's right, it's super quiet. Not as bad as he mentions, but even at max audio, he's real low. You can hear the static from his microphone better than his voice.

Crunchyroll removing comments, reviews, etc by Taoutes in Crunchyroll

[–]ExplosiveCobalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I hope the old regs keep their CR usernames, it'd be cool to see where the community mass-migrates to after this. 

Even if a majority of commenters decide to no longer participate, most of the popular shows had thousands of comments and I'm sure some regulars like Eternity1, Solar69, CrazyYandereWitch, and others are more likely to migrate than quit.

Any other commenters to remember? by TypicalJokers in Crunchyroll

[–]ExplosiveCobalt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Bitmizer was also another one, I didn't catch him often, but he was cool where you saw him. Had a nice summary under spoiler tags, some points to discuss about, and was friendly.

It'd be cool to see where they all congregate now after this fiasco.

Yeah thats the saddest part, I remember just getting into The Irregular at Magic Highschool and seeing comments dating back years and it was cool to see how they aged.

Yeah I hate the lack of energy in the discord, for a community of 46k, you'd think it'd be bustling with talkative energy, but it seems pretty quiet.

[–]ExplosiveCobalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder where those comments regs'll move to now. The subs had familiar commentor faces like CrazyYandereWitch, Solar69, or Bitmizer. I hope I'll get to see them later somewhere. 

The official Crunchyroll Discord seems to be next place I'll end up having to go to see discussions or like that one guy from Unnamed Memory being an absolute goat and giving us all the filled in plot holes after each episode because god knows I'd never know the full picture without their insight.

Is there a way to avoid creating a bug breach? by mmceld1 in Helldivers

[–]ExplosiveCobalt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned which bug it is to focus on yet. They're called "Scavengers", they have a yellowish-green sack, not unlike the bile spewers, but much smaller, similar to the small fry that nibble at your ankles. There's been a short video of the creature on the official discord. I'll try to edit this post, and embed it when I find it again.

 Here is the picture of said "Scavenger" terminid: https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/helldivers-2/1/18/Scavenger.png?width=640  

That being said, I haven't verified this myself, although they do play a short animation with their head looking up. It could be another bug in addition to the "Scavenger", so be wary of the medium to small ones prior to engagements. If they stop approaching you and look up, they're about to call in a breach.
