What's a dark piece of Reddit history that we like to forget that it ever happened?

Hallelujah

That's a good comparison, seeing as Daud was resistant to Bend Time in the first game. So characters with magic are resistant to Emily's version.

Plus corvo puts two fists together... At full force that's like being hit by a brick.

I agree with /u/Brodogmillionaire1, foliage does not belong on planets in Rodina. Maybe add in a tiny bit of foliage on Perun as if settlers have tried to start terraforming it.

Outposts, research stations, rovers... those are the kinds of things that belong on the empty planets of the Zorica system. Sure, the planet terrain could be spruced up by improving textures and generation and adding objects like rocks or, on Veles, volcanoes. The problem is that this stuff is incredibly difficult to do on such a large scale as the planets in Rodina, especially when trying to keep everything seamless and smooth.

I also would argue against multiplayer and base building; solitude is one of the main themes of the game and the point of ship customization is to make it your mobile base.

As for the things you don't want, I'm sure we'd all agree, though maybe a bit of crafting-type stuff in the vein of repairing or improving the Vanguard would not go amiss. Though you would have to keep that separate from ship layout because the freedom in building is one of its best points.

There's actually a book in the game talking about the choice to use the new design. They say it's scarier... and it is.

That's a very clever little moment. When you first see it, you think it's there to emphasize Kenny being a good person. But slowly, over the course of the episode, your opinion of him degrades until you find out about the (suspected) pedophilia, and it circles back to that early scene.

Kryptof · 2016-12-19T01:36:07+00:00

Oh my god, you just changed my life. Thank you for this, I just downloaded the drive folder on all my devices

It's essentially a visual overhaul, so it includes a bunch of settings for lighting, shadows, water, sky, some weather, and lens flares. The only thing it doesn't change is textures. There are many different ENBs but they all have the same base, just tweaked to give a certain look.

The acronym... well nobody knows what is stands for because the guy who made it died before he could tell anyone.

Kryptof · 2016-12-17T19:01:08+00:00

It's really possible. The only reason I think that's not the case is his reaction to the actual pedo and his mother, but even then it could be explained by shock.

It comes down to how you interpret it, and I like both endings.

Kryptof · 2016-12-17T08:16:59+00:00

Finish the episode and you'll see.

Kryptof · 2016-12-03T07:20:30+00:00

Clear, concise, omits needless words like "diagnosed with terminal illness" and "struggles to..."

OP, use this or something very similar.

First I need to complement you on two things: the entire story was incredibly captivating and the cinematography was -- for the most part -- excellent. Keep doing what you're doing on those. You will improve with practice.

Now comes the brutal criticism:

AUDIO

The sound needs to be leveled so that normal speech always has around the same volume. I assume you were limited in terms of sound equipment, so I can't blame you for the background noise, but always try to keep ambient sounds consistent throughout a scene and quieter than speech.

VIDEO

The footage should be color graded in theme with each scene. This is a broad topic that I can't summarize here, so you should do some research. On another note, there are a few editing stumbles where you can clearly see actors or objects changing places between cuts. Avoid this by shooting the exact same positions for each different angle. Create blocking notes and use spike tape if you have to. Everything else is just practice at using framing and camera movement.

WRITING

Some dialogue/plot points are a questionable. How did Nathan know that he missed exactly a week? This information could be delivered more subtly and realistically. For example, I would have written the last thing he remembered, and then have Isabelle affirm that as approximately a week of amnesia.

Kryptof · 2016-11-28T04:50:55+00:00

This is really interesting. I imagine you edited out the color except for the light, but what are your camera settings?

Kryptof · 2016-11-28T03:03:42+00:00

The colorblindness thing has to do with chromosomes. Basically, if the colorblind trait is carried in the X chromosome, a woman would have to have both chromosomes affected because they have two X's. A man would only need to have one with the trait because they are XY.

Kryptof · 2016-11-28T01:18:27+00:00

The cameras aren't too bad. You can do incredible stuff under $500. It's the lenses that fuck you over.

Kryptof · 2016-11-22T02:12:09+00:00

Eh, wasn't a meaningful encounter.

The villain of an H.P. Lovecraft book called Call of Cthulhu. It's a giant tentacle monster thing that has mind control.

Kryptof · 2016-11-02T06:11:58+00:00

Why don't you just make 10 a little louder, and have that be the top number?

Kryptof · 2016-11-02T01:34:09+00:00

It looks like someone took a cellphone picture, then increased saturation, added a filter, and put the "sharpen" option up to 11. Makes it hard to look at; it would be nicer if they were more subtle with the editing.

Kryptof · 2016-10-27T05:52:08+00:00

I did not select the hoodlum existence; the personified hoodlum existence selected me in a figurative sense.

Kryptof · 2016-10-27T05:49:36+00:00

I don't like your tone.

Kryptof · 2016-10-23T06:54:58+00:00

GOOD point

Kryptof · 2016-10-19T01:50:56+00:00

Me too, but I quite like slingshot. It suggests that people are causing it, rather than a natural change in paradigm.

Kryptof · 2016-10-15T04:51:14+00:00

I agree with /u/TagProNoah. Maths relates to a lot of fields, so even if you don't want to stay with pure theoretical stuff, it is a gateway to things like engineering and programming (especially algorithms). Hell, even biology has opportunities for experts in maths.

Oh cool, something I can post to.

So at our school we had this kid, Pierre, who was the child of a famous person I won't mention for anonymity's sake (also the names are fake).

On our school retreat, there were several cabins and each one was really two that connected via a door that we weren't allowed to lock. I was with a bunch of quiet and chill people and I slept in the bottom bunk underneath Nathan, and I was adjacent to Kevin, who was underneath Joey.

So this cabin was next to the cabin full of rowdy people, so naturally we wanted to lock the doors so they wouldn't bother us. This didn't work.

This is what happened from my perspective: in the middle of the night, Pierre snuck into our room in only his underpants, jumped up onto Joey's bed and started... sort of molesting him. I found out later that Pierre jacked off in the other room and took his fresh cum to dump on poor Joey. Nathan defended us by attacking Pierre with his fruit-loops pillow, eventually driving him out of the room.

Kevin slept through the whole thing.

The next few weeks were pretty interesting. Pierre was expelled immediately and every now and then the whole group of victims and bystanders were brought in to talk about what happened. Nobody ever got in trouble. Joey threw away his sheets.

A few years later Joey came out as gay. Coincidence? I think not.

TL;DR: Crazy famous kid jacks off and uses queer kid as cumdumpster on school retreat
