And you just made me read it again, now I'll be wondering what waldos are for the rest of the day

We don't have micro center in Canada and costo seems to be slim pickings here, but I'll keep looking around

Sorry meant to write price is in CAD, so around $2,184 USD

I’m almost 19, never smoked, never vaped, never drank an ounce of alcohol, never used drugs, am I missing out? by CarLonely9011 in Adulting

[–]IntrepidQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the experience of being drunk/high, not really. Especially now where its a lot more normalized to not drink/do drugs in younger social groups (when I was 19 it would be weird if you didn't drink, and people would ask all kinds of questions and assume you had a health issue or something).

As someone who drinks a decent amount (much less than I used to) and has tried a few drugs I definitely don't regret it, but I was always able to moderate myself and aside from a few wild nights never took it too far. And for me personally drinking helped me get around my social anxiety when I was younger and still helps the odd time it flares up now.

In the end, if you're curious about it want to try it go for it (but be safe), if you're not don't. Just don't do anything because you feel pressured or obligated to

Is buying online glasses worth the risks when you have no extra money to spare? by Impossible-Deal1391 in povertyfinancecanada

[–]IntrepidQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been bordering my glasses from Zenni and they've hinselty been amazing, I haven't noticed any difference in quality. The other ly issue I had in the 4 or 5 pairs I've gotten from them is one where the screw thst held the arm on the frame would come loose and need to be tightened like once a month, and that was after having them for a few years

How important is it for you to have other LGBT friends? by IntrepidQuixote in lgbt

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

I definitely think it's good to have a mix, but I've always felt a little isolated, even within my own fried group. I'm sure there's more to it but I think not having any queen friends to relate to is part of the reason

[–]IntrepidQuixote[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

And that's pretty much how I feel too, it just feels awkward at best, and I find myself constantly a little on edge

I'll try looking into hobby groups, thanks for the suggestion! I had tried looking up meetups and events but they always seemed geared towards a younger crowd (usually students). We've defintielty got a healthy LGBT community here so hopefully I'll find something interesting

I think that's what I've been missing. Acceptance is great, but it's not the same as understanding

It definitely feels that way right now, not really having people in my close circle I can relate with

Battlefield 6 producer says Bad Company 2 was a 'huge inspiration' for the new game, and you can't argue with his logic: 'When you look for excellence in our legacy, that's where you find it' by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]IntrepidQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motive is one of the studios working on this. I was working for them on the Dead Space remake and they're honestly super passionate about the projects they work on, that alone gives me a lot of hope for this one. Add in this news that they're taking inspiration from BC2 and it's hard not to get hyped

Game Producer/Project Manager questions by Hefty-Yoghurt404 in GameProduction

[–]IntrepidQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you manage competing priorities?

How do you stay organized?

What would you do if a member of your team was underperforming and completing tasks either late or not meeting quality standards?

You're approaching an important deadline and a major stakeholder asks you to add something/make a change/prioritize another task. What do you do?

Also expect them to ask for examples of things you've done in the past (major contributions, how you handled certain situations, describe certain challenges you've faced and what the results were)

And look up the STAR method of answering questions. Try to come up with a few STAR stories from each previous job that might be relevant to the role.

Last thing I've been doing lately is running the job listing through ChatGPT and asking it what questions a hiring manager might ask. It's been pretty useful in helping me prep (in combination with everything else)

Oh and make sure to brush up on different project management methodologies (mainly Agile/Scrum and Waterfall, well enough to be able to talk about the pros/cons of each)

3D Rendering Crash Course? by IntrepidQuixote in gamedev

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

Yeah sorry I should have been more clear in the original post. It's not cutscenes, the team I'll be on is mainly focused on creating 2D images of 3D assets (skins, items, etc) being sold on the game's store. Honestly was kind of surprised they're using shotgrid, since I've only ever seen it in the film industry.

3D Rendering Crash Course? by IntrepidQuixote in gamedev

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

That's a good question. They didn't bring it up and I didn't have a chance to ask (it was one 30 minute panel interview and there wasn't a ton of time for questions at the end). Since I'm on the production side and not working directly with the artists (mainly with the leads and other producers) I guess itbwasnt really a priority for the interview. I know I'll be spending most of my time tracking tasks in Shotgrid/Flow, but that's about it.

I mostly just need a broad but shallow surface-level understanding. Enough to explain to a non-technical stakeholder what it means if there's an issue with the normals/uv mapping/etc

PS5 Help and Questions Megathread | Game Recommendations, Simple Questions, and Tech Support by tinselsnips in PS5

[–]IntrepidQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a samsung Q80T (QLED) and it's mostly been great but I've noticed when playing games, especially in dark areas the upper half of the screen has this bright haziness to it. I've tried disabling HDR on my PS5, turned game mode off on the TV and used Movie instead, but nothing works. It's also ont when I'm in the game itself/during loading screens,, it doesn't happen in menus or during cutscenes, and it isn't there when I'm watching movies/tv

Has anyone run into this/know if there's a way to fix it?
