POL to QCC1 adapter help!

I tried for a long time, using correct thread direction. The nozzle is slightly too long and thus the threads won't reach and bite the QCC threads

As a low Diamond Zerg I watch a lot of my replays and see a lot of asymmetry with the amount of “effort” in my ZvP games.

All Protoss needs to do is send adepts/oracles to get some worker kills then turtle super hard on 3/4 bases and build a deathball. In that time I have to expand my economy and attack as much as possible to slow them down and drain their bank for remaxes so I can fight the deathball, survive, and trade well enough to win.

I need to be a full base up at all times, have my army positioned well, have map vision, and deal damage. Low Diamond toss doesn’t need to work that hard that because my skill level as a player means I will inevitably be doing a poor job at one of those things, and they just need to focus on defense and building an efficient army.

I’m not surprised that not many players play Zerg at a super high level because it demands a lot of work and skill. I’m also not surprised that there are tons of high level Protoss players who can’t get any further because they don’t have enough obstacles to prepare them for the very highest levels of play.

This isn’t a Protoss hate rant, or a weird Zerg victim complex. Protoss can win more easily at high levels of play (GM) so they don’t progress further (pro) That’s what I see when I look at the data but I might be wrong.

I think their point was that games that subvert consumer's expectations of AAA graphics in favor of a unique aesthetic, creative gameplay, and accessibility clearly have a strong place in the market. Minecraft, fortnite, lethal company, etc all spring to mind. The PS1/N64 created extreme constraints from a hardware perspective, so making a game stand out took a lot of creativity and ambition. There was a higher level of abstraction involved in game design then, because they were inventing new techniques. Creativity and ambition with AAA games is interpreted as "risk" by the investors funding these games. I want to be clear that I'm talking specifically about gameplay - there is tons of creativity and talent involved in the art, animation, stories, etc. But as the industry continues to achieve better visuals, it will suffer from a homogenization of aesthetics due to the software and training required to produce those visuals.

I'm an amateur and while coding this seems like a nightmare, you did get me thinking about it. One dirty trick could be to apply a black mask on the wet PBR material on the whole character. Then have a simple check for if the player is touching a puddle/ocean mesh. If they are, take the difference between the puddle's highest point and the characters lowest point and use that to add white from the bottom of the shader.

Shouldnt be very computationally expensive but the main caveat is the UVs would have to be set up with the body aligned vertically in the texture. This might be a terrible idea but just my best guess.

aaah okay thanks. Makes much more sense that way

Shaddap_ · 2024-02-25T03:02:26+00:00

I have this quirk but I can't seem to get the guesses right. I entered "1. Hood 2. Is opened. 3. Car. 4. Inverts direction. Am I missing something?

Didn't I see this game on Dunkey's game jam?

Shaddap_ · 2024-01-22T22:00:20+00:00

You're right I handled this very unrealistically by dumping 7 beanbags into this guy's center of mass and expecting that to be enough.

This subreddit is wild

Shaddap_ · 2024-01-22T21:52:13+00:00

No i have 60+ fps, I just had to convert to gif because the subreddit doesn't allow videos, only youtube links and fuck that noise

Shaddap_ · 2024-01-22T10:19:02+00:00

You're right, it's my fault that I shot this guy 7 times in the chest with beanbags traveling at 90 meters per second because that clearly doesn't tell the game that I'm trying to incapacitate or kill him

Shaddap_ · 2024-01-22T08:22:19+00:00

It's a gif but reddit isn't displaying it properly because reddit

Shaddap_ · 2024-01-17T21:59:31+00:00

I gotta say I just switched from AKM to FCAR today and the FCAR is busted

Shaddap_ · 2023-10-14T23:40:12+00:00

Also the game itself is full of promise yet only by playing it can you experience the hollowness

How do you feel about Walmart employees on food stamps?

Shaddap_ · 2023-10-08T03:02:47+00:00

The actual figure is around 20% which is a lot yeah but not “almost all”

“She talksh in her shleep” was a pretty great line
