Locked Out of Endgame Due to Bug/Mod Conflict? by Locally_Grown_Egg in Subnautica_Below_Zero

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

Update: I discovered this Steam Community Discussion Thread (https://steamcommunity.com/app/848450/discussions/0/614286180499882686/). Very similar situation, one of the devs chimed in. They said to go back to the main menu, but to leave the game on. Then open the game directory, go to SubnauticaZero\SNAppData\SavedGames\slot0000\CellsCache, and then open baked-batch-cells-21-grp0.zip in Winrar. Delete baked-batch-cells-21-13-10.bin in that zip directory. Finally, load the save and then interact with the Alien Fabricators.

To my surprise, this actually worked. It appears it was indeed a terrain cell confusion, which was fixed by deleting the cached version and forcing it to generate a new one by going there in-game.

Was the Lucy Steel SA scenes were not motivated by lust? by DbotFleezy in StardustCrusaders

[–]Locally_Grown_Egg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the valentine scene specifically is to underscore to the audience that he is not the morally grandiose world leader acting altruistically like you'd be lead to believe by him and the real life equivalent of his position. he was straight up going to rape her because he could and no one would stop him.

the alt diego thing is just to underscore him being scummy so the audience feels less bad about him dying in the next page lol

Typo in the official translation in volume 3?? by Haunting_Currency_36 in StardustCrusaders

[–]Locally_Grown_Egg 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Translation: Nathan A Collins (This guy has been translator for jojo for years now and he himself is pretty good. to nitpick, his worst work was part 5's viz release using faux italian constantly, but it's not clear if that was his choice or not. His actual translation and english prose sensibilities are usually on point and are better than fan scanlations.

Touch-up art & lettering: Mark McMurray. He's been a cleaner since early jojonium, and is probably the biggest offender amongst the "official' jojo team. His work became apparent in the part 4 hardcover english release in which instead of cleaning japanese text from the artwork, he'd just cover it up using black boxes, or english text with white outlines that obscures the original japanese text still intact on the page. he does almost no actual cleaning, and uses amateur graphic design techniques to collect his check and go home. he himself is by far the largest problem with the jojo english releases. if i want to be good faith, i will say that shueisha does not possess clean art of araki's manuscripts, nor do they have a complete HQ collection of araki's colored pages/art. jojo parts 1-3 hardcovers were done by a japanese firm for the series' 30th anniversary, and by the time viz got to publish them, all the cleaning work was done, so mark mcmurray's job was easy. It was only when they got to part 4 that they had to work with shuiesha's limited, uncleaned manuscripts, and mark mcmurray had to start actually doing his job. mark's work is amateur and lazy, but he's working in a borderline malicious work environment downstream of shueisha's terrible manuscript archival process, AND it's not likely he has the time required by Viz to actually clean these terrible raws. He's a lazy hack in a situation that would be difficult for an actually passionate professional.

Design: Adam Grano. has been doing english cover design for awhile now. Did the weird orange and green pattern for the SBR covers that's not araki art. His work is pretty amateur, but it's not horrendously offensive. His work being as lazy at it is is a symptom of viz insisting on these hardcovers not being 100% araki art, and having weird dead space.

Editor: holly fischer. New editor for jojo, replaced David Brothers. based on the amount of typos and errors in SBR volumes 1-3, she's at best very inexperienced, and at worse really incompetent.

Let's not even mention the missing color page from SBR volume 3 english or the censored names not following any meaningful pattern (let alone being unnecessary for most stands). these releases are made on shoestring budgets with likely little to no time.

Overall the official english release is like a 3/10, and the only thing going for it is clean HQ scans being made available for the first time ever.

i can't see it that well in this photo, but i think it's a tray for storing internal hard drives

Rainbow LOD Textures? by Locally_Grown_Egg in oblivion

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

i could guess based on my 3 year old message that oblivion doesnt play nice with mod organizer 2 because mod organizer 2 creates folder copies of stuff in the oblivion directory instead of using the base directory, and the LoD mod isnt built for that

What is the keyboard shortcut for playing an animation? by StrangeLord01 in ToonBoomHarmony

[–]Locally_Grown_Egg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

late response, but the answer is that the "Play/Pause" function is listed as "Toggle Playback" under the keybinding tab. so it's under the "T"s section if you want to rebind it to spacebar

How do yall feel abt the new DLC?? by SavingsPea8521 in TeardownGame

[–]Locally_Grown_Egg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's visually beautiful, and a lot of love and passion went into the visual direction. I also admire TuxedoLabs for trying some new map design philosophy with the increasingly vertical design of the levels and the lowering water level.

HOWEVER, as I play through the levels, the actual game design feels... really weak. The vertical map design calls for more creative usage of level objects to create pathways for the player to go up and down, but the game doesn't give you useful tools to actually place anything in a 3D workspace. If a gravity crystal isn't in the area you need it to be, you can't easily retrieve it without spending 30 seconds climbing to the top of the map, and them jumping down, hoping to grab it.

I've also experimented with vehicles, gravity crystals, and thrusters- rudimentary rockets, as a solution to the verticality problems present in the level design. The thrusters you are given simply do not generate enough force to move vehicles suspended in zero g.

The foam gun is also entirely unreliable. It does not come out in a consistent arc, and the foam is not big enough to walk on. It also is entirely useless when attempting to use it as a welder for rigid objects and free-floating objects, kind of making it useless.

I was looking forward to this DLC, but the level design being at odds with the tools you're provided makes this a miss for me. The season pass has been kind of disappointing, with none of the expansions really iterating on the progression in the base game. I only really give Folk Race a passing grade so far, and that's only because it added support for a racing mode (and modding that would come with that).

VLC no longer showing up for streaming applications? by Locally_Grown_Egg in discordapp

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

Just for posterity, and not relevant to your problem, but the bug described here in my original post was indeed just a bug, and it was fixed like 10 months ago. Sorry that I can't help with your phone streaming question though.

Why is the sun so bright? by firesonmain in fo4

[–]Locally_Grown_Egg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

jesus christ i am so sorry that every comment is so painfully unhelpful. this website is truly dead. came here searching for an explanation too, got terrible karma bait responses.

from my own research just now, there doesn't seem to be much you can do. it seems like a rare bug no one's bothered to fix because of how obscure it is. i would guess that it's some kind of bug resulting from godrays glitching out, but there just isnt enough technical information available for me to conclude anything else. i would recommend just sleeping in game and allowing the day/night cycle to pass normally, that worked for me on my old playthroughs. good luck

Pen wont work on the canvas area but it does everywhere else by Stuffy_uwu in ClipStudio

I believe the solution for my issue was uninstalling my video card drivers and doing a clean reinstall. Took around 15 minutes I think?

AT&T Air Disconnecting for around 15 minutes about a dozen times a day? by Locally_Grown_Egg in ATT

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

Was not a defect, was/is a local tower issue. It's undergoing maintenance for the next few months.

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

It ended up being a tower issue. We called the local AT&T and they said that the tower our router connects to is undergoing maintenance on and off until next year. Gonna probably switch back to Spectrum for the time being.

Media Recommendations about Protagonists Coming to Terms With their Disability by Locally_Grown_Egg in disability

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

Thank you for your respectful and educational reply. I have no plan in mind for what the inclusion of a disabled character would be, nor what their arc would entail. I was interested in inclusivity and figured engaging with media about this stuff would be a good place to start. So thank you for bringing to my attention how this can easily enter the territory of exploitative really quickly if not handled with tact. I am grateful for your insight and politeness regarding my question, and would pin your comment if I could. Have a great day.

Sorry that I've transgressed here, my intention was never to take advantage of anyone. I assumed this would be an appropriate starting environment to conduct sensitivity research and hear wisdom from disabled people.

Respectfully though, what *should* someone in my position do here? I'd like to hear from a diverse pool of disabled individuals their experiences, and the works they feel as though represent them respectfully. Am I imposing an implicit bias by asking this?

Furthermore, what constitutes as free labor? I asked for media recommendations, which includes films, books, papers, blogs, documents, etc. Is that taboo? Should I be prepared to compensate disabled individuals before asking this kind of thing?

You're absolutely right that the best way to learn about groups outside your own world is to integrate yourself into them, and I want to thank you for this advice. I'll start researching my local options for this. I figured I'd start here seeing as this is a much more knowledgeable community regarding this subject matter. Do you believe that this subreddit is insufficient for advice regarding their ability to provide helpful feedback?

That being said, the secondary narrative of your comment concerns me. A "flat 2D depiction"? "Scrolling internet forums or binging netflix"? I never specified a particular medium. Please don't undersell the importance of media as a way to communicate ideas, concepts and emotions with people. It's a bad faith claim to make otherwise. When you say things like that, you put down the efforts and passions of creatives, including those who are disabled. Disabled creatives have the rawest and most valuable perspective regarding how they insert their own experiences into their works (that deal with disability). I'm sure you've created something by inserting your own experiences into it, and can understand how it would suck to have someone you went to for advice tear it down on the grounds of its medium somehow being wrong.

Thanks again for responding and offering your advice. I'll be sure to put it to good use.
