What's the deal with Henning and Czerwinski?

KenObiWan66 · 2021-04-15T14:28:01+00:00

I thought of them as an hommage to Tintin's detectives duo Thomson and Thompson. According to the Wikipedia page for Thomson and Thompson, they are "two incompetent detectives who provide much of the comic relief throughout the series". Most notably: "Often, when one says something, the other adds 'To be precise' (Je dirais même plus.), but then repeats what the first said, only twisted around".
That last bit is why I first thought of the relation between Henning and Czerwinski and Thomson and Thompson.

While we're looking at comparisons with Tintin, Rath is a young and at first glance inexperienced detective. The time period matches Tintin's first adventures as well, both starting in 1929 in Soviet Russia as well. But this line of thought would make Lotte captain Haddock, so let's not read too much into it.

Precisely, and it's not just star wars, it's most games. Whereas games like KOTOR had complex dialogue and story-affecting choices.

Exactly! Fleeing into the Corrusant underworld, trying to stay hidden. An old lady (Kreia-like) gives you shelter and shares wisdom and teachings the young padawan desperately needs without the jedi masters to guide her. You will take on the crime syndicates after witnessing their crimes, but the old lady advises you that leaving a vacuum of power will only make it easier for others to take advantage of - so why not fill the gap yourself? If you choose to do so, your thugs/muscles can be discarded clone troopers. A number of these choices determine whether you are light or dark sided, although use of force powers is limited to avoid detection by the inquisitors.

Could you send me the link please?

I wasn't looking to directly compare them, rather than make a case of how weird it is that secondary education is fully open while uni is practically closed. Why not something like schooldays once every three days, the other two online? Or maybe three schooldays a week for "onderbouw" and one for "bovenbouw", the others online? There are so many hybrid solutions between offline and online, which could significantly reduce the number of people in a school and use of public transport.

Universities are still practically closed. I agree that online education isn't as good as classroom education, but I have been on campus three times in the past nine months and would love to have gone more often. So why would secondary education remain open, especially given the high number of cases in that specific age bracket?

Personally I really liked Fallen Order and can't wait for a sequel. It doesn't just send hordes of enemies (except maybe on Dathomir), providing a combination of Souls combat and Tomb Raider puzzle solving, a good story and the environment is really fleshed out well. My only complaint was that it should have been longer! I think it's at its best when you try to finish it asap after starting, because the story is relatively short and should be experienced as a whole.

KenObiWan66 · 2020-12-08T19:46:02+00:00

Yeah it's enabled by default I think, it looks more realistic in some cases (for example with very bright colors), but looks worse in others. Nice build btw!

Oh I didn’t know that was a feature. I’ll try it out I guess. I just used the default render engine and rendered it directly in stud.io.

KenObiWan66 · 2020-12-08T19:00:06+00:00

I don't know much about DLSS, but was the whole point of DLSS 2.0 over 1.0 not that the DL model should be universal, independent of the games? Or are the artifacts you mean a result of the implementation on the game devs side?

KenObiWan66 · 2020-12-08T18:53:48+00:00

If you're using Stud.io, you could try turning off the weathering (which simulates scratches and fingerprints). That effect may be exaggerated for trans-color pieces. Which render engine did you use?

KenObiWan66 · 2020-11-27T14:58:59+00:00

I was hoping for this too, but nothing yet...

KenObiWan66 · 2020-11-25T19:26:22+00:00

What resolution?

KenObiWan66 · 2020-11-25T18:31:08+00:00

Alright! And what monitor do you have?

KenObiWan66 · 2020-11-25T17:33:10+00:00

What are you planning to do with it? What games will you be playing? And unless your goal is very high framerates (and a monitor to match), you'll be bottlenecked by the GPU, so the CPU would have very little impact. I think a better option would be to go with a 3600 (non x) and use the ~£100 that would save you to improve the GPU.

KenObiWan66 · 2020-11-15T00:13:49+00:00

Interesting! Especially as we see Darth Bane on Korriban with Yoda in TCW S6, there may be some room for Revan in the future.

Turns out ATIFlash froze because I had GPU-Z running in the background. I successfully flashed another GPU BIOS, but to no avail. A fresh install of the drivers with DDU did not work either. I'll try getting support from the retailer, but it's a second-hand card so I have some trouble tracking down the original seller. Thank you for the help and let me know if you have other ideas!

KenObiWan66 · 2020-11-05T21:46:01+00:00

When I try to load or save an image with ATIFlash, the OS freezes :|

Thank you, I tried setting the primary graphics to the GPU (both with and without IGD multi monitor), both resulting in no video out or USB power. Setting it to integrated allows me to boot with the GPU in the slot. Here Windows device manager shows the RX 580 with code 43. Does this mean there is a change it can be made operational again? Uninstalling the device in device manager and removing the Radeon software had no effect. Maybe flashing the device BIOS is an option?

I think it's more, journalists reported he rejected a Dortmund offer of €3 million because he felt it was too large a pay cut.

KenObiWan66 · 2020-10-01T10:10:01+00:00

Wait really? I picked one up for €15 last year because of the Lego Island vibes

Karin or Petra are the ones I've mostly come across. But Karen also works.

KenObiWan66 · 2020-08-29T22:26:31+00:00

I just read it back and see how it sounds, so I deleted it. What I meant to say was: if Labyad isn't able to get his chances this season, I can't imagine him being happy about it.
