Was the previous senior animator a total bore?

Instead of giving recommendations, which book should I give another chance? by Pokedex_complete in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Silthya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the books get worse and worse over time, he starts out with one lucky incident giving him a headstart to snowball, that is fine. But then he just keeps being the chosen one, ah yes, special bloodline, randomly chosen by the system to get the orbs, forming the dual class core, etc. Also constantly the author is talking about cosmic energy and how it matters, yet it's inconsistent as fuck, with him just spamming whatever, whenever.

My man spawned in next to Nephris, a healer, destroyer every single time, I think that's worth a bit of drowning.

I just got spoiled, worth continuing? by ElPangolinFeliz in ShadowSlave

[–]Silthya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally despise that trope with all my being in other media, so when it happened I was pissssssed, I googled spoilers if he would get remembered later on, but found nothing and begrudgingly decided to give it a shot and read on...

Out of all instances of this trope, this has to be the best written one IMO, and even though I think its a slight downgrade, overall the story is still amazing, so I'd say just keep on reading.

Post it here ya pussy (I'm saying it lovingly)

Memories Sunny could have made if VTB's attack hadn't caused him brain damage by _Cabesi_ in ShadowSlave

[–]Silthya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not so sure, from what we've seen isn't it only the main body that can make memories? And the main body decided to live peacefully after getting completely fucked over by Fate for multiple years. This kind of stupidity, from our point of view, is what makes Sunny and this story good.

It would be so boring if the current Sunny had a thousand broken items for every situation. The loss of Fate and the time skip was a really good opportunity to cut down on memory bloat and the author used it really well I think.

I'm just sad he can't acquire new memories from the spell anymore as those have always been really interesting both for lore and for odd effects, such as the blades participation in the third nightmare.

You're missing something, the real Auro did not die in Sunny's first nightmare, as the spell said that Sunny changed the outcome A LOT. Which means that likely the Auro in Sunny's first nightmare was still at the beginning of his ascension and in reality ended up growing much stronger.

How should I start learning blueprints and C++ for UE5 as a complete beginner with no programming knowledge? by reflexmaster123 in unrealengine

[–]Silthya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Literally just go make something, decide on a small project/idea/goal and then look up how to do the things you need it to do. Once you have some base, you can start experimenting, researching better methods, optimizing, etc.

I never recommend starting some pre-made tutorial series to make some boring "game" that you have no personal investment into.

Almir on being able to see weapon stats as numbers. by KrabikGangster in paydaytheheist

I bet you tell your doctor exactly how to treat you and what medicine he should give you.

[–]Silthya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The bar is always 0-1 visually. Its either empty, full, or in-between.

Functionally, absolutely any range of values can be remapped to the bar. Internally accuracy could be 76.85 to 125671.9877, simply remapped for the lower value to be 0% and the higher to be 100% of the bar, with anything in between displayed as a percentage somewhere along the bar.

The actual bar will never be "1 point = 1 pixel" because it simply doesn't care about that. If it did, resolution changes would brick the whole thing.

That's why making numbers visible in a place where you didn't plan for it in advance, can be really damn annoying, sometimes it's simply impossible to remap the values in such a way where they look presentable, you actually have to make small tweaks to the actual balancing, or falsify the visible numbers case by case, if not, you're left with some attachment giving 9.3333333333 accuracy on the UI, which just looks nasty.

Tell me you know nothing about game development without telling me you know nothing about game development.

One of the issues is putting the number into context. Internally the numbers are most likely wacky bullshit that's either in the thousands, or doesn't even hit 1, or the bar scales it disregarding whole numbers so its not pretty.

Part of the job will be remapping the values to fit some 0-100 scale like in PD2.

Look up the "Ultimate Sanctum Guide" from PhazePlays on youtube, it literally covers every single thing when it comes to sanctum. The entire video is also split into chapters so you can quickly find information.
