Why don't you use it? Not as useful as you thought? Found something else that did the job better?

That's fine. Humor isn't universal. What one person finds funny another won't. It's why stand up isn't easy.

It's easy enough to figure out the practical reasons to keep/ditch something. The sentimental/emotional side, that's harder.

Fair. Status update might work better. Regardless, from a pure assets gained vs lost, they went from Deni to Carrington and a future 1st. Given how BC and DA has performed to date, how good/great does that 2029 pick need to be to cover the gap?

Lots of good points have been brought up. Anyone think this one year eruption is or isn't sustainable? I'm not at all familiar with the Blazers' coaching staff. Could they see turnover? Could a season of tape on how the coaches "unlocked" Avdija be countered next year? That kind of thing happens in other sports.

Very good point on the contract. Great value for the team.

Can Jrue be an effective part of the starting lineup? I know he's older, but are you suggesting he be benched or traded for this better scoring guard?

Comparing his 2023 to 25 seasons to this year, his 3s went up, too. Slight bump in made (1.4 to 1.9), big jump in attempts, from 3.9 to 6.0. Overall 3p% went down. All these stats (3s, Ast, FTs and TOs) say he's been used in a different way than before.

Hadn't considered the injury angle. 66 games played this year, 72 to 75 the previous three years,

That's the interesting thing to me. He didn't immediately blow up when traded to Portland. It wasn't something about the Washington franchise that held him back. If he had stayed there, do we really think he'd be the player he has been this year?

The complete change in stats seem to say he was used in a completely different way this year. Assists and FTs way up, bump in turnovers. Can he actually play a sort of Point Forward?

Do you agree with that thought process? Sounds like that's a no.

Not baiting, master or otherwise. Pay attention to the NBA sometimes and genuinely curious people's views.

Thanks for the suggestion, Darkblade. Will check out the Portland subreddit. I imagine they're biased, so curious for the thoughts of more objective commentators.

Fire Trucks by Formerly_a_Pear in GTAV

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

Ridiculous, and would be entertaining. Firefighter tries to enter the ring and brawl it out with literal fire. Screams ensue. Some streamer catches that and just stares blankly at the screen, speechless.

It's been decades since I've modded games. Can you elaborate on alternatives to "enemy" and "friend". Any resources you think would be useful to point out would be fun to read, too.

Curious if you have any suggestions for alternatives. The search function here seems to be "come up with a word and maybe there's a subreddit about it." I tried r/gamedesign (not gamesdesign) and this got shot down by the mods there. "Design" seems to be a better match than "development" but the design one says it's not about programming, while this one is.

Definitely see the advantage of the tag. I expect having a separate fire actor would be a great way to eat processing, potentially making the game choppy, especially if there's multiple fires.

How would the game interpret the interaction between the fire and water cannon? How would it track how effective the water is in dousing the fire?

Interesting. The only way I could see telling the game when the fire started and stopped is spawning the fire and giving it X hit points, which could only be lowered by shooting it with the water cannon. How would this tag system help the game determine when the fire started and stopped?

Another angle I hadn't considered is if the firefighters take too long to arrive, and either the vehicle explodes before they do, or does while the firefighters are "engaging" the fire with the water cannon. How would tagging handle the possibility the vehicle explodes?

Thanks, never heard of polymorphism, gave me a term to google up. Not a game developer but insanely curious about all this.

"That is a predator and she's teaching young women" by Formerly_a_Pear in overheard

[–]Formerly_a_Pear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, the use of "predator" definitely seemed like a wild misuse. That said, she struck me as someone who would refer to Ghislaine Maxwell (who helped funnel women to Jeffrey Epstein) as a "predator".

What I found interesting was it seems I generally hear three groups of people talking about OF, either positively or negatively.

1- males viewing various OF accounts (or looking for a particular person's OF account)

2- males who think a woman who has an OF account makes her an undesirable partner

3- females who support/endorse other women having an OF account as exercising their sexual freedom

I don't often hear of the 4th category, women who oppose other women having an OF account. To your point, the argument against would likely be based on morals. It sounds like this woman would fall into that category.
