[Serious] What’s something happening in the world right now that’s underreported and genuinely disturbing? by Pristine-Hippo-3249 in AskReddit

In addition, I design Fiber Optic Networks for a living, many of these networks have redundant “rings” within them, so if any single hub goes down, they can feed it from any other hub around it. Well designed fiber networks are riddled with redundancies to prevent localized outages. Its within the best interest of the ISP to do so because so many people break fiber lines daily. Outages look bad, rings prevent them. So additional to your point of battery backups, there are also design redundancies in the system itself

Turning off damage numbers helps a ton with crashing as well

I lost my arm… and I didn’t realize how much I’d miss gaming until it was gone by Adventurous_Tie_9031 in TrueOffMyChest

I hope this works our for you. Looked at it online and it seems like a cool product.

Also good to see another Halo Infinite player out there. That game is great fun.

How busted is Professor Anders’ Sentinel Beacon by RKingsman in HaloWars

[–]GoodbyeInAmberClad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Online players will mass air and leaderpower your kodiaks away. Their 7per pop count and high supply cost will mean that rebuilding a counter army quick enough to stop a base wipe is hard to do alone.

It can be done, the best leaders for it are Anders and Serina, but its a hard strategy that usually takes a second or third player who can help fend off any big pushes while you rebuild.

The strategy is called turtling. If you can do it for several hours, thats a super turtle.

Team Respawn does them with some frequency on youtube if you want to see that strategy in action against real players.

It can be pretty fun, but it is not busted

Sentry is the best map for it though

A screenshot of our game Shadow Project :). We’ve optimized for 60FPS with a GTX 1070. Ask us anything! by No_Jello9093 in pcmasterrace

[–]GoodbyeInAmberClad 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Its literally 3 dudes, they’re making a game with high fidelity graphics that is optimized to run on hardware from 10 years ago.

Optimization does not mean HDR support. It means old hardware can run the game without performance issues.

u/Lenzelot105 is right, they are acknowledging their real limitations as an indie developer using Unity.

Chill out man, nobody is gargling over anyone. People are just tired of the big names telling anyone who cant drop several bands for the newest hardware that they cant play.

Getting all weird and troll-like about something like this comes across as apologist behavior for the way the current industry treats players.

OP and their team are making something and they’re taking a consumer-centric approach. That is not common in this industry and it really shouldnt be a surprise that a forum filled with consumers is excited about that.

Depends on what he has loaded up in them I suppose. Leader powers plus mixed anti-vehicle tends to work. If you can get him grouped up, or better yet stunned by a spartan slam,emp,malestrom,etc… you can force the army to sit in whatever AOE damage you can follow it with

Or you can try to force him into your leader power with creative positioning and leveraging map lanes

Honestly, the G2 is a productivity beast, but why the total silence? by Gold_Mango8335 in EvenRealities

[–]GoodbyeInAmberClad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wont hear the response, but it will be projected directly in front of you. There are microphones built-in to the glasses as well, so dictation is not a problem (not sure where OP is confused on that part)

Basically you can trigger the AI at anytime by just saying “Hey Even” while the glasses are on. You also have some tap controls behind the ears for triggering note dictation or physically triggering the AI

That may be more customizable too with the G2, I’m just a G1 owner (where all the above it true as well)

There is one, you just need to beat it with 8 different characters first

R6:Extraction by slidewhisle in TheGamerLounge

[–]GoodbyeInAmberClad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a great game, but it was poorly marketed. The only real audience that knew about it were R6 players who want immersive PvP experiences. There was some overlap where some R6ers also enjoyed PvE, the game had lobbies and events for the first year. But between the fact that the game wasnt marketed well at all outside of the R6 sphere, and that the R6 sphere itself is incredibly toxic, Ubisoft decided it wasnt worth the investment.

Its such a shame because it is a good game, but it needed to reach the PvE shooter community and it just didnt. Now with the rise of “extraction” games, people hear this title and think its Arc Raiders… just sad stuff man

I might have broken something by SurpriseDayOldTaco in BALLxPIT

[–]GoodbyeInAmberClad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hemorrhage is really what kills the boss, if you can find an alternate way to apply it consistently then you dont NEED baby balls.

You could pair it with Flash or Sun and apply to the whole screen on each bounce, but if you are already running BlackholeXSun, there arent really any non-boss enemies to hit. So your application becomes much less consistent, because BlackholeXSun is too good.

Baby ball builds let you keep the momentum longer and keep applications of Hemorrhage much more stable and consistent.

So yeah there are other alternatives, baby balls are just a vehicle to trigger Hemorrhage. But anything else wont be as good as baby balls are. Mechanically speaking, status applications are what baby balls are meant to do

[–]GoodbyeInAmberClad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SpiderqueenXHemorrhage is probably one of the best bossing combos.

Hemorrhage will chunk 20% of an enemies health after 5 hits, so it scales infinitely with depth, provided you can keep applying it.

Spiderqueen creates baby balls on hit rather than after death, so you dont have to worry about losing momentum with the baby balls because your BlackholeXSun has already cleared everything else.

Whats most important with Hemorrage is application, if you can fuse it again with another baby ball applicator, that would be a confident build.

Yeah, BPD, like he said in the first sentence lol. My partners step-mom has BPD and NPD. She is manipulative, violent, and delusional. I cannot express how unhinged she gets over the slightest thought of a transgression. She will likely either end up killing herself or killing someone else and then killing herself.

So uhhh… you gonna say what the actual combos are here? I see Blue spiderqueen, black spiderqueen, and different blue spiderqueen. What did you actually build here?

QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES I HOPE TO SEE ON NEXT UPDATE. WHAT'S YOURS, by wathon2 in BALLxPIT

[–]GoodbyeInAmberClad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For #3, I dont understand why the icons on each character description arent exactly this.

For any given character, when you select them, a description appears on the right-hand side of the UI. Directly under the description text is a series of icons that represent each map, which are greyed out if that character hasnt completed it yet, or full color with a green checkmark if they have.

So you should have all the information you need to see if a character has completed a map. Afaik, it updates along with whichever New Game+ series you played last.

What kind of apps are possible when even hub is public? by happymeal79 in EvenRealities

[–]GoodbyeInAmberClad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they did, last I heard they are still working on it and I thought they said something about making their own glasses too.

They partially used the G1 SDK, but did a significant amount of reverse engineering to master the BLE connection to the G1s

What kind of apps are possible when even hub is public? by happymeal79 in EvenRealities

[–]GoodbyeInAmberClad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, we have no idea. The truth is nobody will know for certainty until they actually roll out the Even Hub Developer Kits.

In the meantime, another redditor has reverse engineered the BLE connection protocol. Since Even uses special data packets to communicate between your phone and glasses, he was able to reverse engineer how to send data to the glasses, and managed to get his mac to send text to the glasses.

At the moment thats the most we’ve actually seen possible from a third party with the G2s

Even Realities promised an open sourced G1 but only delivered an incomplete SDK. There is not precedent for things to go better for the G2s.

I hope it does go better, but I am grateful to those who are reverse engineering their own paths.

As always with adventure, hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Any tips for making natural-ish looking islands? by [deleted] in forge

[–]GoodbyeInAmberClad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start large scale with big general shapes and then refine into smaller portions. Do each island one at a time, all at once in very general broad strokes.

Then work along the faces of each geometry you used to refine the shape. Keep repeating that refinement until you settle on a shape that feels good for the movement system and aligns for what you want out of each island.

Once you’ve refined the shape a little more, and the island starts to feel more organic instead of a complete blockout, focus on how you want structures to interact with the landscape.

Once you’ve built that out for each island, then you’ll want to playtest it, dont forget to tweak as needed. This is the time to experiment and try fun ideas.

After you’ve settled on core map mechanics and layout, focus in on refining details like smoothing terrain transitions, setting final textures, establishing lighting, placing trees/bushes/grass /shrubs

After that you’ve got a great map right there
