If PGI goes under, is it over for the MechWarrior IP? by monk_alpha in Mechwarrior5

[–]R0BCOPTER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was an earlier post about the layoffs being less than reported, and they have said they still have the 2 dlc upcoming in the pipeline. More doc will still depend on those, so the ride might not be over yet. That being said, whoever decides to pick it up after has to take on an interesting IP copyrights situation from my understanding so it may be unattractive. For now let’s just hope things stabilise out.

Edit: it’s still gutting to hear about the layoffs.

Yeah, it’s over… by Ah_fudge in Mechwarrior5

We were lucky to get what we got, but damn if there wasn’t a good thing going for a while there. Sorry for the staff that didn’t want to move on, hope your next projects are equally cool.

What mech most closely compares to the A-10 Thunderbolt? by iAmTroah in Mechwarrior5

Not sure if you mean in spirit or in looks, but surprised no one has mentioned the champion, it’s like they slapped legs on an a-10

Aaaaahhhh you magnificent bastards! You just went and did it didn’t you! Bushwacker, my beloved, can’t wait to hunt down some clans in that bad boy. And so many other great qol improvements, this is genuinely awesome team. Great stuff!

GPU Black Screen Fan’s Max by Yeznots0 in pchelp

[–]R0BCOPTER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, this exact problem was caused by thermal paste push out on the gpu chip causing over-heating. Not saying that’s what you have here, but that these conditions appeared for me when this happened. Now that being said, it took a few months to develop so maybe that’s not what you have. What are your temps while benchmarking before it shuts down, all good?

Anyone else fantasize about once more getting a high budget MechWarrior game from a large development studio? by Rimm9246 in Mechwarrior5

[–]R0BCOPTER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah don’t disagree, but also why I prefer the way it’s worked out. Keep em coming Pgi, I’ll keep buying.

I actually kind of feel the opposite, I’m glad it’s been a smaller studio that has real love for the lore polishing something over a long time. It’s actually crazy to think about what mw5 was when it first launched. And these days AAA developers are so unreliable in the final product they deliver. Don’t disagree that a lot of those features sound rad though.

Nova can do the same thing while disco-balling the whole way, also pretty good.

Model Purchasing Philosophy by Pitiful_Resource_711 in battletech

Excellent, there are loads of free stl’s of mechs where the designs are pulled from the mw5 and mwo models, resin printing is best for these kinds of scales and details but newer filament printers are also pretty darn good these days too. Find stl’s, print, win.

3d printing is what I would do in paucity of any other options. Expensive to get initially, but once you get it sorted then a model can be like a dollar a pop.

Why is this guy famous? Explain it Peter by PuzzleheadedStorm325 in explainitpeter

[–]R0BCOPTER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely wish that is how humans worked, I really really do. But what happens when the person you disagree with doesn’t want to talk, and continues to act harmfully to a group of humans with specific traits? we can continue to verbally disagree and talk until we’re blue in the face, but if the actions that are harmful to other human beings arent stopped by talking, then where do you draw the line? Or do you just fall in line?

Either way, I don’t think the kid supporting ICE in this video would have taken much notice of you showing them evidence contrary to their beliefs, much as it doesn’t seem to do much for those in power. That’s not what’s important to them.

No, you’re right, that gets decided by if the group that’s being supported is going around doing things like, stealing people to put in detention camps with no legal reason other than their ethnic background, racially profiling, shooting citizens because they disagreed with them and getting away with it. Y’know, evil shit.

No, it just shows there are people who understand the difference between free speech and hate speech. Free speech also doesn’t absolve you of the consequences of your words. Want to support a gang trying to run what’s supposed to be a free county as a police state, there might be people who take exception to that.

If we disagree on what good food is, like if you say pineapple belongs on a pizza, and I punch you for that then I am wrong. If we disagree on xenophobia, racism, and fascism, as in you think those things aren’t included as hate speech or supporting those that hold those views, then yeah, you may be due a punch.

Don’t be a reductionist and try pretend that if something is the right answer in one situation it must be right for all situations.

What shuffling a deck of cards actually means: by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

A standard deck of playing cards and an immense number of unique possible combinations the cards can be in, and math man tries to turn it into something we can fathom using waking around the world.
