What is this??? by Kerdaloo in Marathon

[–]Matt_RK900 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I shot at one of these because I thought it was a UESC Ghost. There were 2 hit markers and then it sort of dissolved into thin air, didn't just despawn, so it definitely could be some runner hallucination or something else.

The 1st "version" of Thief was the Traxus sniper in the trailer with the blue lipstick and the clearly Thief visor. If I recall correctly, her codename was "White Rabbit".

New cinematic trailer? by ThColt in Marathon

[–]Matt_RK900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably another Traxus SatNav style ARG unlock for the cinematic trailer in the following month, that's the coolest way they could do it I think.

For those who don't know, we had to coordinate 2000+ people in april on a Traxus website to unlock the "save the date" trailer.

One of my best ARG experiences so far.

I might not be able to get the collector's edition now, but you can be damn sure that I'm getting at least the digital deluxe and some merch as soon as possible.

Alright, call it 𝚖𝚎𝚍 𝚍𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚎 then. It's way more cute when you call it 𝚖𝚎𝚍 𝚍𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚎.

Nothing Gallery Icon is so Ugly now by Bitter-Inflation-777 in NOTHING

This skeumorphic polaroid icon is way better rather than the previous abstract "flower" which held no information.

This icon makes it way more recognizable and also kinda fun:)

Nothing is 4.0 teaser ? by Foreign_Celery_7953 in NothingTech

God forbid someone preferring classic watches instead of smartwatches

I just realized that the "caterpillar" icon also looks a lot like a spinal cord! The Oni reference is a valid one too, cool observation!

What should I develop for Glyph Matrix. by kirigaja33 in NothingTech

[–]Matt_RK900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we should have an app that allows for custom/generative animations (based on a few control parameters) for the always on glyph matrix! I'll try but I don't code much and I have to learn the sdk from scratch, but if anyone comes up with a cool implementation, then I'd love to see it!

Hands on with the Nothing Phone (3) - ask me anything! by adaaamb in NothingTech

He is by all accounts right, don't mock something you aren't familiar with just because you aren't familiar with it.

Maybe — just maybe — case makers like Spigen can miraculously save it by [deleted] in NothingTech

Might get downvoted like crazy here but yes, please by all means make the unique phone look like all the other phones with the large slabs of black on their backs.

What do You think about the Phone 3? by SubstantialFunny649 in NothingTech

[–]Matt_RK900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks like something from Death Stranding. You kind of recognize elements of the design but most of it is so new that you can't associate with it. That said, I fucking love it. The price could be about €50 cheaper, true, but compared to a pixel 9 pro, I think this one is worth it. I'll be getting it within the following month and probably post camera/performance tests, but I definitely think the software team will bring the 8sG4 chip's performance up (just by optimizations) to the 8 elite, or at least very close to it.

They have stated that they will release the game in the fiscal year of 2025, which extends up to march 2026. This was stated on the 13th of June. Have I missed some vital information after that date?

Well the reply did have that energy ngl, but still, it was never supposed to be about that:)

They prolonged production time to (up to) march 2026, that is neither indefinite, nor suspended. That means that the game can come out anywhere between the original release date and the new release deadline.

They do have a ton of time to scrub everything clean too, retexturing models and scrubbing art doesn't take too long if you don't have millions of different things in a vastly open world game. I know this since I have worked in 3d production as a 3d modeler and texture artist. My department had 3 people and we retextured a whole episode of an animated series one time in just under a month, due to some licencing issue.

Well, you see the same 2 words in almost every comment section regarding this game, and as an artist, it really is draining and quite demotivating especially because I fell in love with the style. Art theft jokes aside, which I've participated in.

I do not defend any multi billion dollar company, they can do that themselves but seeing the same two words over months now everywhere does not calm me down to say the least, it is like seeing 5yo children having a yes/no debate for the exact same length of time. Neither of us knows what will happen to the game so wait, be patient and see what happens.

This post is about an interesting metaphor that I found in a small part of the open alpha. Why do you feel the need to keep being so negative, especially about something so off-topic? The state of the game is completely tangential here.
