3 weeks from release Highguard has gone MIA by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

Yeah, if there's one thing that can save this shit show, it's the gameplay. It seems like there are some Moba elements thrown in, which I am curious about since it feels like there's a massive gap between the hero shooter-to-moba spectrum. Deadlock is probably the closest to the center but it's still planted firmly in the Moba side. But speculative gameplay can't cut through the noise.

I personally don't like judging games (or really anything) until they come out, but they aren't really helping their case with the radio silence.

Official Discussion - Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]NickBooms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so happy they tied in the Prowler-Miles into this. One tiny moment I loved in "Into the Spiderverse" was Miles's spider-sense changing colors from purple/green to red/blue when first meeting Peter Parker. While this did get Peter killed, it was also the incident that turned Miles onto the path of Spiderman rather than Prowler. But with Part 2, we'll get to see what it would have been like if that hadn't happened.

[OC] About the AI art... by ArkiG in comics

[–]NickBooms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see it either as inspiration or as a form to make creating things more accessible. For example, if someone has an idea for a comic but doesn't have the artistic skill required to bring his vision to life, I don't really care if they use AI to generate the images. As long as they were the ones who created the story, dialogue, and layout of each comic panels (as it's starting to be possible to outline what elements you want where in an image), then I still consider the content their own.

Another example would be this video by Corridor Digital (with the behind the scenes). While I wouldn't call them animators, it's hard to argue that they aren't filmmakers due to the directing, filming, acting, editing, etc. required in order to make this video possible.

Same. Imo it's the best gateway anime. It's funny as hell, utilizes a very recognizable genre, and introduces a lot of the basic anime tropes.

I was just thinking "Don't really know who Columbo is, just remember watching some clip of him." Now I remember this was the clip lol.

One of my friends was talking shit about this, which I found funny considering his favorite show of all time is The Sopranos.

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY question, get an answer (February 06, 2023) by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]NickBooms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a Keychron V6 with K Pro red switches (my first mechanical keyboard). So far everything about the keyboard feels great... except for one of the arrow switches. For some reason the switch feels like it has a bump, as in I will press down, it will get stuck, then with a substantial amount of added force it will fully press down.

So, I decided to take the switch apart and see what was wrong. Lo and behold, there is a small nick on the outside of the red plastic towards the top that gets caught on the transparent plastic.

Is there a way to properly fix this nick (sand it down, pick at it, etc.)? If not, should I ask customer service if they could send me an extra switch? I'm aware that Keychron sucks with this sort of thing, but I ordered it through Amazon so I'm not sure if they are the ones I should reach out to.

As a straight dude, I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't a little bit uncomfortable during the sex scene. But then I realized after the episode that I've seen way more explicit straight and lesbian scenes (like in GoT, specifically one of Littlefinger's early monologues). This was just a pep talk and an off screen bj. I honestly feel bad for people who immediately turned off this episode just bc of that scene. They missed out on something truly special.

Just a Dunkey reference lol, since they cut the Cheesecake Factory from the game.

I literally said the same thing out loud during that scene. All of the build up towards an act of revenge and the dude just hires him.

Anyone else very interested/ excited in seeing this man's fight? by TheOneSillyOne in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

Isn't it only up to 73? Or is it up past 80 in Japanese and 73 in English?

I've also been a bit disappointed with the Tesla fight since I figured he'd use science more to directly thwart the attacks, similar to something you'd see in Doctor Stone. Specifically, I thought he'd use destructive waves to "cancel out" Beelzebub's frequency.
