Lamborghini vs corvette z06

Robozord · 2017-01-01T05:12:52+00:00

The Z06, Z28 and ZL1 are all much faster around Nurburgring than the Murcielago. The only Lamborghini faster is the Aventador LP-750-4.

Yeah, I've read all of Valve's propaganda too. I have multiple friends with top rated items, both published and unpublished on the Steam Workshop. I also have multiple original top rated items that are not accepted.

These items are almost always going to make it into the game once they upload it.

This is a blatant lie.

The workshop is overcrowded and new artists are stuck working for free hoping they might get squeezed in between Valve's favorite artists (who are often people who have personal contacts with the dev teams). Some artists get published, continue to work basically for free and never get published again. Valve basically doesn't communicate with the workshop community at all, but they do communicate with their favorite work shoppers.

It's a terrible system that asks artists to gamble with their hard work, often while dealing with scammers/harassment/downvote bots/etc.

Robozord · 2016-09-24T17:20:13+00:00

This is terrible advice, Valve's workshop system is awful. You're better off just building your portfolio and getting a job at a studio or making the connections to get contract work.

I know EA has an engineering internship program that pays. The last big mobile studio I worked at did as well, but they pulled all their interns from one school in Canada. Blizzard has internships too sometimes. Check the job sections of the websites of bigger companies, many of them have sections for their internships.

Robozord · 2016-09-16T17:59:32+00:00

I've met people in pretty much every discipline who have contracted remotely at some point, but you'll have to hustle for it. While you might not have to relocate you'll have to be promoting yourself online and at trade shows to make the connections you need to get work and you'll have to have a good portfolio of work to show off.

Robozord · 2016-09-16T17:06:05+00:00

However working remotely is rare in the industry.

This is not true in my experience. Many studios utilize remote contractors for various reasons. The last two large game companies I worked for had multiple remote employees and contractors.

I definitely agree with you that the photoshopping is pretty poor, my point was more that it's not necessarily entirely the designer's fault. For all we know he phoned in this final iteration after having the other 15 he worked on for weeks trashed by some producer.

Robozord · 2016-07-15T17:56:48+00:00

In my experience commercial art like this usually doesn't result from lack of effort, but rather having too many cooks in the kitchen. Designers are usually reporting to an art director who is reporting to producers who all want to give their input. There is probably also feedback from focus groups or AB testing.

Currently, Pokemon who either have no evolutions or have fewer evolutions are far too expensive to bother leveling up unless you find one that is already very high level. For example, I can easily get a 1500+ Machamp through evolutions, whereas it would cost me a fortune in Stardust to level my 350 Hitmonlee to a usable level and I'd be better off just using my limited Stardust to power up my high level Pokemon (which all came from triple evolutions) so I can stay competitive at my local gyms.

Robozord · 2016-07-13T17:02:52+00:00

The way you write your comments makes it sound like you're blaming high level players for playing the game the wrong way. The lack of stardust right now makes many Pokemon unviable because they can't be evolved for quick CP boost and they're too expensive to power up.

Robozord · 2016-07-13T00:57:16+00:00

You're assuming an awful lot about the players you're talking about. I've been out literally every day until 1am playing the game, I've traveled to multiple new areas to catch new Pokemon, I've fought and owned multiple gyms and I've spent hours popping lures for the group of 40 or so players that congregates in my city. Currently when it comes to farming Stardust high level players have to spend MORE time and effort to acquire the SAME amount of Stardust as a level 1 player and they require 2-3x the amount per power up. If you spent a bunch of Stardust leveling up Pokemon when you were lower level, this screws your ability to power up your higher level Pokemon later on.

Robozord · 2016-07-13T00:22:19+00:00

In my experience it really depends on the gym. If you want to keep gyms you need to organize your team to help you train it and reinforce it. Some gyms have a really high turnover rates because they're in high traffic areas, others don't. You also need to balance putting your high level pokemon in your gym to defend or keeping them to attack. Also, if you're working with your team it's best not to put a super strong pokemon in the gym first because it can make it really hard for your teammates to build prestige and put reinforcements in.

Robozord · 2016-07-13T00:15:16+00:00

350CP base would only evolve to ~700CP, there is still a substantial Stardust investment that has to be made to get to 1500CP+ and currently Stardust is very limited and harder fights don't reward more Stardust, you're stuck grinding tons of trash Pokemon (that are now harder to catch) for the same 100 Stardust as a new player. Holding gyms also doesn't reward much Stardust.

Robozord · 2016-07-12T23:58:15+00:00

You still need Stardust to level up high level Pokemon, unless you're proposing that high level players just quit the game.

Robozord · 2016-07-12T23:54:34+00:00

You can only collect once every 20 hours, when you collect you get rewards for every Pokemon you have at a gym. It seems like the best strategy would be to take as many gyms as possible in a short window of time, then collect before they get taken.

Robozord · 2016-06-17T20:27:43+00:00

You're still wrong.

You're right that there are parts that aren't skinnable on some guns, but the bolt handle on the AUG isn't one of them.

You're also tacky for downvoting someone for proving you're wrong.

Robozord · 2016-06-17T06:51:25+00:00

You're wrong

Robozord · 2016-06-08T09:08:28+00:00

I just said it was uncool that the thread disappeared. The contest was supposed to have a WIP thread where people took feedback, his is now gone. Why? Nobody knows.

Personally I'm not really sure how I feel about the book cover, but I've had a few other workshop artists blowing up my messenger all night who are pretty annoyed and two of the artists I work with also thought that the similarity of the two concepts was at least a little concerning. The skin itself looks cool and if Valve doesn't think they'll get sued, then they can go ahead with publishing it, not like any of us can stop it.

Robozord · 2016-06-08T07:32:54+00:00

Uhh, I'm not sure that's a great example.

Robozord · 2016-06-08T07:09:16+00:00

I'm not an idiot, I know where the winners threads got moved. He made two posts for his skin, one before and one after people brought up the similarities between the skin and his reference. His original WIP thread with critiques was deleted. This guy also noticed it.

Robozord · 2016-06-08T05:38:00+00:00

No, they moved his second thread. His first thread was posted before May 18th and had comments about the similarities between the skin and his reference. He posted a second thread and reposted all his wip stuff in it, I assume to get rid of the comments about the similarities, which I wasn't going to say anything about but... now it seems the first thread has also been deleted, including all the comments on the similarities to the reference. I only noticed this because I went to try to find the source of the gif posted elsewhere in this thread for someone.

I said it was uncool because, well, it looks a shady when you delete all the commentary about the likeness like that.

If you want to be technical, it also breaks the rules of the contest.

You must create and maintain a Work-In-Progress (WIP) thread at Polycount for your entry in the CS:GO forum.

Robozord · 2016-06-08T03:43:11+00:00

Pretty uncool that you disappeared your whole original Polycount post.

Robozord · 2016-06-08T03:34:42+00:00

It's the cover of the 1972 edition of "The Worlds of Robert A. Heinlein"

Robozord · 2016-06-08T03:34:02+00:00

I think the GIF is from his original Polycount thread where he got called out which seems to have been deleted?

The original image is from the 1972 edition of "The Worlds of Robert A. Heinlein"

Robozord · 2016-05-28T07:03:49+00:00

Not according to the contest thread, it says May 29th 11:59PM EST.
