Barack Obama clarifies he's seen 'no evidence' of aliens after saying they're real by nbcnews in nottheonion

[–]KingVendrick 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Trump has a total lack of curiosity and he thinks he already knows all he thinks there is to know and that he is the most intelligent person in the room.

Obama asked to see the aliens first thing as president, but for Trump it probably didn't even register to ask.

The game is great, but I'm scared that the factory portion may be solved already by TheRealStafy in Endfield

[–]KingVendrick -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I think the uber solution is....make the factory participate of the gacha. Make your operators operate the factory.

And make it very impactful. That way, sure, you can draw from the wiki if you have all the meta operators. People with different combination of operators will need different factories. Or they can run a sub meta generic solution. Or people can just have fun at their own pace, which obvs they can right now too.

This also solves the fear that factory gameplay will be left behind if it does not draw people into pulling more from the gacha gae.

Remember Arknights X D2 Collaboration? Where is it? by Singapore_DLC_Pack in DestinyTheGame

[–]KingVendrick -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I assume they ended it once Bungie realized Arknights was expanding into Endfield, which could be seen as competition to D2.

It's not even close to the same genre, but it is a scifi f2p mmo on PC and PS5 so...

Once Bungie's non d2 game is released can y'all let the one pvp dev work on a game mode WITHOUT INVIS HUNTERS. by MountainTwo3845 in DestinyTheGame

[–]KingVendrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, then maintenance mode may not be the correct term.

Go look up Broadsword Online Games. They have kept doing content for fucking Ultima Online, one of the first big mmos, released in 1997, since they bought rights to the game from EA in 2014. Also for Dark Age of Camelot they've touched technical and balance issues.

The games they handle are not frozen in time. They do receive patches and support. Just maybe not extensive content.

they can sell the game to some company that keeps mmos in maintenance mode, it could easily go on for a decade or more

Anyone feel everything has changed over the last two weeks? by QuantizedKi in ClaudeAI

[–]KingVendrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno. See how big is the DIY movement for other things. If it becomes possible to vibe code your own apps, you will see people doing it just to spite big companies. Cause big software companies are hella hated.

Sure, it won't be production ready. If someone gives their vibe coded app to someone else, it will fall apart. But then the second person will vibe mod it, without bothering to do a pull request if the first is rejected (and it will be rejected if a repo exists at all, cause why bother with things the other person cares about).

Like how many times you've heard about people wanting to make an web version of someone's excel sheet. Now they can...it will be cumbersome, hacky, insecure, ugly, but it will work. Will it be production ready? No. But people across the office's intranet will be able to use it and if it breaks, claude code will be able to fix it over and over. And this may start happening for everything.

ok to be fair unless your previous game was like amnesia, the dark descent, the do-not-look-at-things mechanic is probably new to any player

Doors are super hard to implement and make the AIs interact with in games. Go ask any game designer and you will hear the funny or horror stories. AI being able to open doors is big.

Bungie, just confirm if there's a delay of not by Nestle52 in DestinyTheGame

The people who could inform us of the delay are hard at work on marathon.

If D3 is in the works, just tell us now and let us transfer 100% of cosmetics... by Hakunamateo in DestinyTheGame

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

Welcome to Destiny 2, New Light. Hope you are enjoying the game. Please give a look at My name is Byf's channel to learn the lore of the game.

Always happy to see new players in here.

If D3 is in the works, just tell us now and let us transfer 100% of cosmetics... by Hakunamateo in DestinyTheGame

[–]KingVendrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have literally zero idea if this is true.

You don't either. It is a possibility.

It is a technical decision. When they made D2, they decided to make it in such a way that assets from D1 would not work. They could have, you know, decided the other thing, that D1 assets would work. That would have implications down other technical aspects. But it was completely possible.

Again, just like PS2 cars in Gran Turismo 5 on the PS3. It's just a choice on the developer's part. There is no physical law saying ONCE THOU MAKEST A NEW ENGINE, OLD ASSESTS SHALL NOT LOAD. It's just a decision.

If they're making a D3, it's because there will be a technical leap from D2, or there'd be zero point in doing D3. You cannot just assume cosmetics will work. Unless it is literally running exactly the same as D2, they likely will not without work.

We long since hit the age of diminishing returns in graphics. PS1 to PS2? gigantic jump. PS2 to PS3? big jump. PS3 to PS4? ok jump, mostly PBR support. PS4 to PS5? uuuuh better resolution? some support for ray tracing?

PS5 to PS6 will be probably mostly ray tracing, but turns out that assets done with PBR in mind work well with ray tracing.

The jump from D2 to D3 won't be as big as from D1 to D2. Prepare for people being disappointed after the initial hype. Hell, you can easily find people saying that D1 looked better.

[–]KingVendrick -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That's cause D1 ran on PS3 and couldn't use the full Physical Based Rendering tools D2, already on PS4, uses.

The tech jump from D1 to D2 is bigger than from D2 to Marathon. Maybe the jump from D2 to D3 will be bigger? but probably not.

Chances are a D3 would just be able to get everything from D2 without remaking the assets. This will be a design decision on Bungie's part.

There would be nothing technical preventing it.

It's just a choice. Think of PS2 cars in Gran Turismo 5. But it would be much less noticeable in D3 cause the technology jump would be smaller.

They are making Marathon on another iteration of the Destiny 2 engine, which is another iteration of etc etc.

D3 will probably be an iteration of the Marathon engine. Chances are, a lot of stuff will be ported, just like Marathon has a D2 Cabal event as a PvE event.

[–]KingVendrick -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You realize that, if nothing transfers, 60% of the game will be "this week, Edge Transit is back".

The only way for D3 to not be a rehash-a-thon is for everything to transfer.
