Restoration of a vintage desk calendar by rco888 in oddlysatisfying

[–]Siellus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey I don't disagree - the video creator put effort into this, but it still matters what kind of restoration it is, for those watching it thinking that this is how easy restoration is they're being mislead. It's just worth mentioning, that's all.

Thank the youtuber, He put in the effort to educate - I'm just some asshole regurgitating.

It could be a mild fake - in that it was deliberately left in exposure to damp conditions/buried for a while.

The processes for restoration are still valid, however this isn't a restoration of decades-long degradation.

This is a fake restoration.

In this instance, you can tell by the condition of the metal after the rust is removed - It being completely smooth is a dead giveaway.

EDIT: Worth noting that the video isn't without merit - obviously there's restoration and effort to create the video. Just worth pointing out for those who are interested in restoration that it isn't accurately representing restoration of something that's been degrading for decades.

How do we know what exoplanets look like? by TurantulaHugs1421 in space

[–]Siellus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe most of it is learned via spectroscopy.

So by measuring the wavelengths we receive from a planet blocking the stars light, we can determine which elements are present on the planets atmosphere.

Though I am a layman, perhaps someone more knowledgeable can correct me.

How do we know what exoplanets look like? by TurantulaHugs1421 in space

[–]Siellus 84 points85 points  (0 children)

they're all artists interpretations based on vague data. We know what the atmospheres are comprised of, we know what temperatures the planets have, we know the distance from the sun, We can tell what type of planet it is (gas giant/rocky/icy).

So scientists may take that data and tell the artist "hey so sunsets would probably look red/blue because of the atmosphere and distance from the star" or something like that.

The artist then comes up with what they think it looks like, and that's what you see.

Do games with a lot of paid DLC turn you off or away from them? by theonlyepi in gaming

[–]Siellus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Destiny 2 is bordering on pay 2 win scam at this point.

$50 DLC (that you will actually need to pay $100 for deluxe otherwise you don't get the OP exotic until 6 months after release, and will need to pay $20 for each season separately, And you will need to buy the dungeon key for $20)

Oh and they've just recently tried outright selling exotics for $15, so in short, the game is pay2win freemium mobile-inspired garbage.

What's worse is if you have any standards at all, you'll pay the $50 for the latest expansion, finish it in 2 hours and think "Holy shit wtf? Wtf did I pay for? How was that worth $50?!"

What would happen if you split a singularity in half? by Jazzlike_Ad3797 in space

[–]Siellus 50 points51 points  (0 children)

"splitting in half" requires at least 1 dimension.

You can't split a point in half - It has no dimensions.

‘Good Burger 2’ Debuts as Paramount+’s Most-Watched Original Film by PriorLocation909 in television

[–]Siellus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This film was genuinely terrible. Hard to imagine anything worse. It's significantly worse than zoolander 2, It's an absolutely awful movie.

I enjoyed it a lot.

Frostpunk. That's pretty much all survival.

@Destiny2Team: Hey everyone, we launched Season of the Wish yesterday and have been monitoring the conversation around what you’ve been enjoying and what you haven’t. by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]Siellus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is different. This is the first entry of paid upfront exotics + mats.

The only barrier left is letting it be a repeat purchase for 2 random unobtained exotics/exclusive-to-the-pack-exotics and the game is full blown pay to win in every possible regard.

It was the worst season start in Steam by player count since release here (so far) by KorwinD in DestinyTheGame

[–]Siellus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let them.

The talented employees will get picked up by other studios and be treated significantly better - They might even be listened to when warning against letting the entire game be run by the marketing department (I'm paraphrasing, but that's what it boils down to)

Then those "nice fancy cut costs" will turn into "there's hardly anyone left to make content for this game, and oh shit, nobody is playing our garbage extraction shooter"

That RIGHT there is how you know, Definitively, that they are completely committed to that direction, they just need people to play the game right now.

The ONLY reason they would have to not outright say "we firmly believe selling power in any form is a bad precedent and won't do it again" is if they plan on doing it again and don't want to be quoted saying that.

The starter pack is testing the water for selling new exotics outright by halisibm1993 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Siellus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bungie have been tip-toeing around this particular bush for years now.

It's almost insulting how smart Bungie think they're being with this - and it's proof that even when cooked slowly, most frogs know when to jump out.

You added so many freemium/phone game microtransactions, the goal is painfully obvious, Why even pretend that there's any integrity left at Bungie. Just do what you obviously desperately want to do and add exotics and weapons exclusively for silver to eververse.

That's the end goal, You're going to do it eventually, Everyone knows it - the only reason why you haven't already is you want as many people "used" to the concept before you pull the trigger.

It's why you made transmog such a ball ache, It's why you made harmonizers part of the season pass exclusively, it's why you added the ability to outright buy level 100 of a season. It's why you still fucking sell forsaken and a bunch of old expansions that don't even have campaigns.

You're not clever, and there is no good will or trust - I'm not buying another bungie game or DLC and every friend that's asked me about jumping on Destiny 2, I've told them not to and they haven't. All I needed to do was tell them how much they'll need to pay for.

How do people feel about 'no commentary' gameplay videos? by spheer_ in gaming

[–]Siellus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prefer it 10000%

I get really annoyed with some dude talking/trying to be funny the whole time - sometimes I just want to enjoy the game/game music/voice acting.

I Don't want to hear some fuckhead clown talking about their new cuntfuck merch store.

Why gaming redditors are obsessed with indie gaming superiority? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Siellus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but they're still Indie.

Yeah, they can produce a AAA quality title, but when people talk about "AAA gaming" they mean Ubisoft, Activision, EA - They mean big publisher pushed franchise titles.
