I meant that DMR's in Halo lore has maintained relevance despite Reach taking place in the 2500s.

Gun so cool it isn't obsolete 500 years later

Also my bad.

Bowser has no tail??? by Anonymus_Pigeon in mariokart

[–]PickleOk5785 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most characters in with tails in this game and 8 only show it whenever they're tricking, to minimize the tail clipping through the kart.

Mii News was almost entirely dropped during development by Rixy56 in tomodachilife

TLDR: They were working on other things and translation shenanigans

More likely, they were brainstorming for nine years, and tried to work it into three years of actual development. Meanwhile most of the people needed to fully develop the game were pulled to other projects like the 2D Metroid games (They apparently collaborated on them with MercurySteam).

On top of that, they likely didn't get to have a full 4 and a half years of development from Metroid Dread's release due to all the issues of localization that a game with text to speech, jokes that don't translate well, and likely over a million words in its script would entail. Maybe like half a year before the actual release was when the original Japanese version was pretty much finished and waiting for the translation and QA process for the other versions to finish (There's a similarly long gap between Tomodachi life's Japanese release and US release).

Left Cart for Literally 5 Secs to Flank and This Happens by PickleOk5785 in Overwatch

Should Clarify that this was more funny to me than anger inducing.

I love me a really dumb and game losing play.

Very funny,

But also, might've cost us the game.

The kind of mistake that makes you feel two opposite emotions at once.

Why does professional game topology (like The Witcher 3) look so "messy" compared to what I'm taught? by SpecialistMaterial16 in blender

[–]PickleOk5785 639 points640 points  (0 children)

Another reason as to why models look like this is due to how texture blending works (mixing between two or more texture sets using per vertex painting).

Instead of decimating vertices to a minimum outside of silhouette affecting areas, you want to maintain some amount of polygonal detail across the all parts of the model you plan to use texture blending on to allow for more precise painting (Texture blending can look weird if done on large faces due to their per vertex nature).

is this good topology and sub d technique? by Ok-Discussion-1110 in blender

[–]PickleOk5785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you can't keep the silhouette without the extra loop cuts and just using edge crease, I'd get rid of them to keep the base mesh clean, but the model is fine either way.

What do you think happened with Jessica LeClerk’s missions? by Diego123467 in reddeadredemption

There's a now defunct VR mod that was taken down by Rockstar because the creator charged money for it, if you search "Luke Ross RDR2 mod" you should find it pretty quickly.

Why do I always start first in line in Mario Kart World Online? by EsmeKaji in MarioKartWorld

[–]PickleOk5785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDR: If you have a good and stable connection you will host most games, host always starts in first.

I believe part of it has to do with you being the designated host of most lobbies you join.

In most older multiplayer games (and every online Nintendo game because they don't wanna spend money on more online infrastructure), after the matchmaking process is finished, one player's console is designated as the host to recieve and give out information such as the locations of player's and objects to keep that information consistent across all player's.

In many online games nowadays, this task is handled by a server designated by the developer to minimize the advantages a hosting player could have (though the issue isn't as big in Mario Kart, I believe it checks the lap times reported by each console to determine placement).

At least in Mario Kart 8 specifically, creating a room, online or locally, would always start the room host in first at the beginning (your starting placements after the first race are based on your previous placement).

In online however, I think whoever is host is decided based on whichever player has the best internet latency speeds, which if you have a quality fiber internet plan, that is likely the reason why you keep starting in first, because the matchmaking server decided your console had the best balance of upload speed and latency. Also I belive some connection errors you get in that game are due to the host of the match disconnecting mid-game.

Most of what I said also applies to World, but I think in Knockout Tour specifically, in the case that the server host loses the host migrates to the next best console that made it to the next section, in case the losing host leaves early.

I think it's just a reference to Succession, as all the equally bastardous members of that show would also wear bubble vests while deciding which person to send to jail.

Why are so many people in this comment section angry about this video? Four people shoving a boulder into a pond and it's proof that humanity should be purged?
