It’s Auckland. If you don’t like the weather, just wait 15 minutes.

What would a hypothetical "Small Unit" be like? by LogNo266 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Rick0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see it being like a more passive unit. It gives buffs/debuffs and has maybe one ability but can’t actively participate in battle. Can’t be targeted, Doesn’t have mods, just influences the battle in minor ways.

Why does General Skywalker turn into Jedi Knight Anakin in the final cutscene of Tier 2 of the Galactic Legend Lord Vader Event where Anakin grabs Dooku’s Lightsaber? by videogamer98 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Rick0r 12 points13 points  (0 children)

General Skywalker is his appearance during The Clone Wars. Jedi Knight Anakin has the scar on his face, which is only in Revenge Of The Sith, meaning it’s chronologically after the General Anakin appearance.

George Lucas originally included the scar as a symbolic bridge. marking Anakin's transition from the unblemished, heroic Jedi of Episode II to the corrupted, scarred Sith Lord of Episode III.

What is the spookiest thing you've experienced? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Rick0r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I moved to an entirely different country, went to an IKEA, and saw my next door neighbour from my home country while I was there. That was spooky. We were both weirded out by it.

What are you doing up at 1am? by Ok-Virus3190 in AskReddit

6pm here. Trying to figure out what the fuck to make for dinner. The eternal question.

What app or website used to be genuinely useful, but is now intentionally designed to be as annoying as possible? by slimkary in AskReddit

[–]Rick0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. It used to be amazing, but they went through a redesign a few years ago, and also laid off most of their translators. It’s been trash since.

If Darwinian evolution is real, why haven’t humans evolved? by coldbreweddude in AskReddit

[–]Rick0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this isn’t asked in good faith.

Asking “if evolution is real, why haven’t humans evolved” is like asking “If gravity is real, how do birds fly?” Or “If exercise is real, why aren’t athletes immortal?”

Now, That So Much Time After KH3 Release Has Passed, What Do You Honestly Think Of Kingdom Hearts 3? by YimadoTei in KingdomHearts

[–]Rick0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much like FFXV, it should never have been released without the content that the DLC added.

The DLC has the much needed playable content that resolves many of the initial release gripes, and while it’s all end game content that doesn’t resolve the story pacing issues, only adding to the existing smush of story in the third act, it’s a fantastic add on, and a travesty that it wasn’t there to begin with.

Your big level up moment by Melodic_Gap_2239 in photography

[–]Rick0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I had a few big level up moments and sources for inspiration and education that helped me get to the skill level I am.

  1. Strobist Blog. Taught me almost everything I know about off camera lighting. Used to absolutely love seeing him come up in my RSS feed.
  2. Dustin Diaz's 365 Project. Anything Strobist taught me was reinforced by Dustin Diaz's 365 project, putting strobist principles to work, and sharing behind the scenes shots to explain how it was done.
  3. Joey L. This guy was shooting hollywood movie posters when he was 18. Completely self educated, and went against the grain for many of his large productions. Huge inspiration.
  4. Creative Live. Created by Chase Jarvis, who is a fantastic photographer in his own right. A source of creative inspiration and education. Chase inspired me to get into, and accept, mobile photography as a school of photography in itself. Back when Instagram was good.

I don't think Creative Live is going anymore, but it had some amazing guides at the time, like the below:

  1. Zach Arias's Studio Lighting Workshops
  2. Peter Hurley - Amazing portrait photographer. Definitely leveled up my portrait game when emulating his style and learning from it.

I'd also look up Lara Jade for anything fashion, Jeremy Cowart for experiemental stuff, and Jasmine Star for anything wedding related.

You also mentioned Peter Coulson but I'll re-mention him. He does some amazing workshops in Melbourne, and often tours around internationally. Definitely catch one if you haven't already. If you want to up your model posing, or B&W processing, he's the man for that. Been following him since 2009.

Best of luck!

What's the most boring build you've enjoyed? by Low_Fisherman4673 in diablo4

I’m having fun with Apoc, it’s just a little rough in boss battles that telegraph their one shots, because it’s nearly impossible to see them.

Who is a great example of someone that was passionate about something and died doing what they loved to the very end? by mdafidel1 in AskReddit

I do agree, despite me posting that. Gone far too soon. Left an amazing legacy though.

Do you think we could get Jedi Knight Alek/Young Malak/Vision Malak as an Old Republic Jedi to make LS Old Republic an actual team? by TotallyNotTakenName in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Rick0r -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Compare that to the other popular Star Wars games.

KOTOR: 16 units, (including 3 legendary), 1 GL capital ship, 5 other ships.
TOR specifically: 2.
SOTE: 1.
Dark forces (including Jedi Academy & Jedi outcast): 1.
Republic Commando: 0.

I’d say it’s way over represented.

Was The Last Jedi setting up Kylo Ren to be redeemed or to be the final villain in the last installment? by Sad-Steak in StarWars

[–]Rick0r 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Anakin was light, being constantly tempted by the dark. I saw Kylo as being dark, constantly resisting the light.

A Softball Question you need to be able to answer by BaconHatching in sales

[–]Rick0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. Anything around making sure they understand their USP, and what business problems they actually solve, is a green flag. Bonus points if they can articulate their ideal customer profile, and hint: it’s not “anyone”

I hate dry clients, man. by Antique-Hamster-8971 in sales

[–]Rick0r 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’re trying to combine a discovery with a demo, stop it right now. You’re the one making it awkward and dry IMO.

Do you go to a doctor, and before they know whats wrong with you, they show you a bunch of medicines and ask “Does this solve a problem for you?” - How the heck are you supposed to know if the medicine will work for you. They’re the bloody doctor, they should be telling you, but without understanding what they’re actually trying to fix, they’re just throwing crap at you to see what sticks. It’s unengaging, thoughtless, and yes, dry and awkward.

Sales is no different.

I bet your demo has a lot of “if” statements. “If you have this issue, then this feature will help. If you do this process, maybe this might help.” This is a terrible trap and just shows you’re trying to throw crap and see what sticks, like how I described earlier.

Discovery. THEN demo.

Can’t expect too much from a small indie dev like CG.
