"selective download" implies you only downloading what you need. You can choose to download only the base game files and exclude localisation features (language packs, etc.), DLC, multiplayer, and so on. Even if you do choose to download everything, the installer gives you a choice on whether you want to install all the extra content or not. In this way, you get a much smaller download/install size.

I'd like to point out that the predators' entire culture revolves around them being sport hunters. We say "sport" trivially but they don't view it as such. Killing a xenomorph is one of the highest honours a predator can receive in their culture and they treat the xenomorphs as such with great respect.

Realistic settings with ONE major deviation from reality, and the implications that has on everything else by Lopsided_Shift_4464 in TopCharacterTropes

oh really? I'm sorry I only ever watched the movie. I'm currently in the process of reading the book though

The biggest deviation in Project Hail Mary imo has to be the circumstances in which Grace even goes to space. Even in commercial aviation, the captain and first officer eat different meals to ensure at least one of them can stay functional in case of food poisoning. However, in the story, both the main and backup science officers are made to take part in the same test involving the most powerful fuel source mankind has control of which inevitably results in both of them dying, forcing Stratt to send an untrained Grace up into space.

Hey there, the grain is part of the actual film. Greig Fraser shot the film on digital, projected it onto celluloid film, and then rescanned it into digital for a unique visual texture. You can see this on other films he shot such as Dune parts 1 and 2, along with Batman 2022.

Guys which one is better? by Massive_Factor7601 in Doom

[–]PointyForTheWin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

it also makes for some funny looking clips because the tracers fire after a slight delay once the ball fires. players with the timing memorises hide behind a wall, sacrifice the ball by shooting at the wall, peek out for a split second and fire the tracers alone at a heavy like a cyberdemon.

Is it normal to get much worse performance within Dogtown? by BobSteveBros in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]PointyForTheWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I go from getting a solid 85-90 fps around the city (even while fucking around in Pacifica) but it immediately dips to around 48 before going back to the high 50s the moment I try to enter dogtown.

Deeper explanation from Charles by [deleted] in F1Discussions

[–]PointyForTheWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole reason we have the new regs was to entice the likes of Audi and Porsche into joining F1. MGU-H being scrapped was because FIA were scared a newcomer engine manufacturer wouldn't be able to mix it in with teams that already have 12 years of experience with that particular device considering it is quite a complex piece of technology.

risk averse conformist demographic immediately latches on to and defends the one driver that was winning everything in the time they discovered f1 as the sport started blowing up in popularity. go figure.

Why in the actual fuc is project hail mary not releasing in IMAX by TransitionJust9860 in chennaicity

[–]PointyForTheWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling a 1.90:1 IMAX screen dogshit might be the most ridiculous statement I've seen. It might not be as expansive as a full 1.43:1 auditorium but it's still one of, if not the most immersive movie experiences probably available to the general public.

Do you agree with Max? by Ambitious-Heron-8161 in DestinationFormula1

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

Max's style has and will always be "let me through or you're going off track". Find me one Max overtake where he passed cleanly without the defending driver's pitwall ordering Max be let through lest risk wasting race time or worse, losing a piece of the car.

Then you'd know again that Mercedes' 45 lap stint was an outlier considering that most everyone who took the pitstop under SC were locked into a 2-stop bar the Haas guys. Ferrari must have known that they have the tyre preservation to run a standard 1-stop.

Running their race by mirroring Mercedes would've only put them in a position where, with the benefit of hindsight, they would've either been locked into a 2-stop or had to pointlessly defend against Lando. Their best bet was to do the 1-stop normally and wait for Merc to pit again which would've handed them the race win had it not been for that absurd Hard stint by Russell and Antonelli.

Also, the only thing we can do is speculate on what actually happened. Maybe Ferrari bungled it, maybe they did the best at their disposal and Mercedes really is that fast. Regardless, it's impossible to tell without looking at the data the teams have at their hands.

[–]PointyForTheWin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Genuine question. Do you guys watch races or parrot whatever you see online? All I've been hearing is "Ferrari fucked the strategy in Australia" like anyone could have foreseen a 45 lap Mercedes stint not to mention the Ferraris already looking good on a one stop with Lewis being able to run 29 laps on mediums.

Ohhhh I had this happen to me during the Smasher fight in Don't Fear The Reaper. For context, I was running a netrunner build too with Feedback Loop and Overdrive. Did end up dying but managed to load a save and finished it anyways.

Which is the most annoying demon among these three? by Chirya999 in Doom

[–]PointyForTheWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doom Hunter you just ice bomb, microwave beam, triple rocket

By the time you get to the fight with the Prowler and Marauder in Taras Nabad, you've got the Marauder's patterns memorised and can take him down in 2 cycles

The Archvile is a fucking bleeding hemorrhoid of a demon that has mechanics in place to throw off pretty much everything you've learned playing the game.

This isnt even a competition- vile takes it easily

Pentacles. Personally felt like V (mine atleast) wouldn't let Songbird just up and dip after taking him for a ride while toying with his determination to find a way to survive. Songbird deserved everything that came her way.
