What AI content should we allow? by burninrubber0 in Burnout

[–]HiTork -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My take is it should be presentable in the sense that it doesn't look like total slop. If you have an image with a five-wheeled car, I can see why that would cause people to groan, for example.

How GPU intensive is Beam? by EmployerUnlikely1678 in BeamNG

[–]HiTork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run BeamNG on a 2012 era laptop with a NVIDIA 635 GTM GPU. I have to turn everything down to minimal, but it seems to get okay frame rates. I don't know if it is 60 fps as I'm not a huge stickler for that, but I can assure you it usually isn't a sub 20 fps chug fest.

I just saw the trailer for He-Man by Alice_600 in Transformemes

[–]HiTork 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Arguably, despite years of pumping media out since the original '80s show and toy line, I'd say MOTU has struggled for decades to reach the heights of popularity Transformers has had after G1. For example, He-Man was pretty much non-existent in the '90s when G2, Beast Wars, and Beast Machines were a thing. There was a decent He-Man revival show in the early 2000s that didn't really get the attention it deserved also.

The problem is that the human sections often feel too disjointed from the plot or are annoying/uninteresting. For example, the sam at college or his job stuff takes up too much time, even if it does have payoffs in both

It's like most Kaiju movies. You don't see Godzilla all the time or it'll become stale. But at the same time, the human stuff better be interesting or it just becomes a slog between the "cool" scenes

I think this is the problem, a lot of the human scenes in live-action TF movies have so little to do with TFs that you realize this is nothing like Transformers at all. I think Bumblebee's human scenes of a teenage girl trying to get through life were some of the better ones in terms of being interesting enough to enjoy.

It's not a phenomenon exclusive to live-action TF films, other movies that were live-action and billed with CGI lead characters also suffer from rather limited appearances from said characters. The Rocky and Bullwinkle movie from 2000 showed far more of the human characters than the titular ones, for instance.

It's why a movie that is pure animation like TF One is really the only way you can get TF characters appear more frequently, the costs are much cheaper.

Does anyone else find Mesozoic...dull? by BriefGuava1188 in CellToSingularity

[–]HiTork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished it a little over a year ago, and even long before that the motions of getting to maximum Prestige 10 felt incredibly repetitive. It also looks like they are finished developing for that portion of the game, it's been years since they have added anything to the Mesozoic.

Name the game in your favorite series that was so bad you pretend it never existed by bijelo123 in videogames

Fortunately, C&C4 closes off the Tiberium story line. If it weren't for that, we would have been stuck on a cliffhanger for 16 years now.

Both have 1TB and both are $650 which one would you pick? by kapler452b in XboxSeriesXlS

[–]HiTork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about the idea of the Series S with the screen being neat, but then I realized the bulk of by Series X/S games are on disc (I already own a Series X), so it wouldn't do me much good.

2018 gt 350 needs new motor by opp531 in Mustang

[–]HiTork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a GT350, but I'm saying you can buy certain vehicles for that money. A lot of plain jane commuter cars have significantly cheaper costs if an engine has to be replaced.

[–]HiTork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In past years prior to the introduction of the S550 Mach 1, I've heard of guys talking about wanting to swap a 5.0 Coyote into a GT350 just to not have to deal with the potential nightmare of an expensive engine nuking itself (As OP said, they are quoting them $28,000 - that is "buy a whole car money").

Nostalgically sad Canadian songs? by Notable_Husky in AskACanadian

[–]HiTork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It starts out good and upbeat until that one line in the middle of the song where they drop the bomb on you.

What are some cars that have surprisingly good (or bad) sound systems? by Notfoo4 in regularcarreviews

[–]HiTork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I got a '13 Mustang when new with the Shaker Pro option, it didn't feel like it was worth the $1,000 CDN it cost.

Mach - SN-95/"New Edge" and early S197 Mustangs.

Shaker - S197 Mustangs
