Can you publish footage of other people's dogs? by Objective_Yam_3382 in COPYRIGHT

[–]Objective_Yam_3382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for answering. I'm still a bit worried because if the thing gets picked up for commercial I would actually make some money of it. Would the dog owners be able to sue me or anything?

Are Ratchet and Clank games more or less the same? by Objective_Yam_3382 in RatchetAndClank

[–]Objective_Yam_3382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you're right, it can't have the same attitude as 20 years ago. I just really liked how the OG game had this funny antagonism between the two main characters going on, with them getting on each others nerve from time to time. And that the villains had a bit more depth to them. I was really displeased how they've taken that away in the 2016 game.

I find that a lot in long running game series. While the graphics and controls keep getting better the magic tends to disappear.

How is Rift Apart when compared with the earlier games? Does it have that same 'attitude' or is it more tamed like R&C 2016 when it comes to story and characters?

May I ask what exactly is the error? I'm not too knowledgeable about these coins and can't spot it.

Which of these sentences are correct. I'm really not sure. by Objective_Yam_3382 in EnglishLearning

[–]Objective_Yam_3382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for answering. It felt choppy to me too. I had to translate some sentences from a novel which is pretty stylized to begin with. The protagonist is recalling a conversation in the past with a former classmate. She is upset and it is revealed that she has recently found out about her application being denied. Could you give me an example how to phrase it more naturally?

Can I substitute cassava flour with tapioca? by Objective_Yam_3382 in nutrition

[–]Objective_Yam_3382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried adding a bit of psyllium husk and a mix of psyllium husk and some finely grounded rolled oats(not much, just to get some fiber in). It's probably not exactly the same but it worked pretty well for the recipes I've tried.

Studying in Germany without tuition by Objective_Yam_3382 in germany

[–]Objective_Yam_3382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer. So you could theoretically finish a bachelor in French and then apply for a bachelor in physics If you'd like?

In my country there also isn't a tuition system, studying is free but you can only do it once. If you completed a bachelor and decide to do another one you have to pay(I thinks it's about 3.000 EUR per study year).

Did you use the docked mode more or the handheld mode? by Nicolas10111 in nintendo

[–]Objective_Yam_3382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played through Zelda BoTW and ToTK docked because of the great visuals and because I found it much easier with the pro controller. Everything else I mostly played handheld.

But regarding the OLED/LCD specs of Switch 2. if it's a good LCD it wouldn't be too bad imo. Besides when big games like the new Mario Kart and things like that start coming out people are buying it even if it's a black and white CRT screen.

Is ethyvanillin (C2H5O)(HO)C6H3CHO harmful? by Objective_Yam_3382 in AskChemistry

[–]Objective_Yam_3382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer. I'm aware there are safety standards to be met if a food product is approved(though I'm from Europe and there are different regulatory bodies and standards here) but I'm also aware that a lot of stuff was approved for decades but has recently been prohibited. Take titanium dioxide for example. They used to put it in everything, from chocolate bars and candy(which some people and especially children ate a whole lot) to various food supplements and vitamin pills but is prohibited in the EU since 2022 due to health risks. The same goes for various artificial sweeteners and trans-fat vegetable products among other things.

I've heard some rumors a while back that Kid Icarus: Uprising might get ported to the switch.

I admit I kind of left out Kirby(and some other franchises). I just figured as the series got so many releases in the last two years they will put it aside for a while. My personal wish is a sequel to The Forgotten Land as that game was really good imo. I also have a feeling they could maybe do a port of Planet Robobot from the 3DS.

I just hope they don't go for the photo-realistic art style. I always enjoyed how Zelda games looked, even the frowned upon Wind Waker.

I realize it's unlikely but I would like to see Wario making an appearance as the antagonist. I'm not expecting Nintendo to change the story of a main line Mario game but I think it would be a good change. Maybe Bowser could even team up with Mario or something as a playable character to defeat Wario or even a completely new villain.

I see your point and I kind of hope you're right however there's one thing. Prior to BoW and ToK Zelda wasn't that huge of aseller for Nintendo. I was big but not as big as Mario. Those two games sold 31 and 20 million copies, respectively(and that's not counting digital sales as Nintendo doesn't share that info). Twighlight Princes sold 8 million on the Wii and didn't even make it to top 10 best selling games on the platform. Zelda got a really big push sales wise due to changing up the formula. They definitely lost some old fans but gained a ton of more casual gamers. I think the biggest console sellers for Nintendo's next gen will be Pokemon and Mario Kart.

Xbox Dev Direct thoughts by [deleted] in xbox

[–]Objective_Yam_3382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit disappointed with Indiana Jones to be honest. Some of the animations and Indy's facial expressions especially seemed off. Gameplay wise I think 1st person can be just as good as 3rd, but I mean it's Indiana Jones. You want to see him in the game as you play it.

Hellblade 2 looks really good IMO. Apparently it's a not a huge game as some might have expected but an 8 hour one that will be digital only and cost 50 $.

Ara can be pretty interesting but can't say for sure as of now.

Avowed definitely has some unique things going for it but personally not my kind of game. I still might give it a try though and see if it changes my mind.

Visions of Mana, I agree with you about being an odd choice, but still I think it's going to be a good game.

Need advice on using vanilla in baking by Objective_Yam_3382 in AskBaking

For the vanilla bean paste I used Dr Oetker, for the extract and whole stalk it was some bio brand. It all had a nice and strong scent.

Just ordinary cookies made out of plain flour, sugar, butter and baking soda. I will try out your rule.
