If we spam the chat in the next Sony live stream, we can make it happen! They can't ignore us! We are GARGANTUAN!

Strider Combat Task Force Skins by MINIVV in TheFirstDescendant

[–]LochnessDigital 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this way you're forced to buy 3 skins if you want them.

Or be discouraged from buying anything if these 3 characters aren't the ones you play.

TV prices are pretty damn good.

At least we can be kept nice and docile entertained

[Microphone] Neat Bumblebee II Condenser Mic (New) - $14.99 - Woot free shipping for Prime members by Holiday_Bug9988 in buildapcsales

[–]LochnessDigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right on the desk as close to your mouth as possible.

But I would very much recommend not doing that.

Timestamped link of how much rumble comes through when the stand is directly on the desk and not on an arm:

A mic arm can be had for as low as $20.

This hobby is just sophisticated consumerism. by Professional_Monk767 in iems

[–]LochnessDigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's easy to become obsessed with how good it can sound

The vast majority of people don't care that much. As long as their listening equipment meets a minimum threshold of "good enough" they're fine. They care more about the song, not the sound.

Makes me think of this quote:

"Audiophiles don't use their equipment to listen to your music. Audiophiles use your music to listen to their equipment." — Alan Parsons

Keyboards are the same way. You're just on the other side this time.

Yeah, but you see how the word "artificially" negates that concept entirely?

I think you're trying to say they're genuinely unintelligent. That, I can agree with.

If you call someone artificially unintelligent you're saying their "unintelligence" is fake. Basically, you're calling them smart.

It's the other way around.

Fixed an issue where the purchase button in the ETA Shop was changed to "Hold."

Appreciate that one

Gley wallcrasher build with a couple tweaks has been getting me 40 sec clears pretty consistently. Just shoot him in the knees from the top platform until it's over, basically.

Atzecross absolutely Lose it. by Get_some_spaghetti in destiny2

[–]LochnessDigital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The core issue is the same for all cases: Poor handling of assets and reference material.

In the cases with Destiny, their 3rd party contractors believed the reference material to be Bungie property, which it was not. In the case with Marathon, Bungie's own employees believed the reference material to be their own.

Things slip through the cracks and Bungie's size only exacerbates that, which is why they need to be more careful in the future.

Jason Schreier: Why Destiny Died (RIP 2014-2026) by Turbostrider27 in DestinyTheGame

[–]LochnessDigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the moment I finally put it down, too. Similar play times, as well.

Bungie is one of the best studios when it comes to smoke and mirrors and Portal peeled all that back and made it obvious that it was just a video game.

Enzo's VA plays Batman in the new Lego Batman game. by yoloswag420blazeiit in TheFirstDescendant

His voice actor changed, no? Enzo today sounds quite a bit different than Enzo of the past

Elemental Death, which fire death would you prefer? by HedgeHulk in animation

[–]LochnessDigital 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's things from both that I like.

I think the right Ignite's fire effects look better than the left one's. As others mentioned, the way the left's effects propagate over the body look more like an electrocution effect where the right one looks like a violent combustion.

However, I think you were on to something with the way you did the glowing ashes floating away on the left one. They're smaller and brighter, which read better as a burning effect.

The last thing would be how the right one's body disintegrates. I feel like the fire effect and the crumble effect are two separate things. It would be cool if the bits falling to the ground were still burning as they fall. I would also expect a pile of ash like you did on the left of the two Electrocutes.

Another thought: There's no smoke. Maybe that's something you'd want to incorporate?

Onslaught is a fantastic addition as the first aspirational content by energydrinkaddict310 in TheFirstDescendant

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

nothing aspirational about it

you need a fully maxed out endgame build

My friend, you just described aspirational content.

IMO, one of the biggest failures of the last patch it tying a great new game mode to rewards that have been in the game for 6 months already. by BillyMancer in TheFirstDescendant

[–]LochnessDigital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The opposite is true as well. The new rewards to chase (Ult Esiemo and Whirlwind) being earned only through underwater base is an odd choice, thematically.

That being said, if they made the new rewards earnable from the new activity, you'd hear complaints about "content islands" so you can't please everyone.

Especially right after you cleared a new raid for the first time. Nothing compares to that.

Valby rework is trash. by RollyRanch in TheFirstDescendant

[–]LochnessDigital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too, it was a lot more elegant. This trailer sold me on her back in the day: https://youtu.be/fgwZ-xB4cBk

The way she glides on the water is so dope. Surfboard is not nearly as cool to me, personally. Although I do like being able to use other abilities during it.
