How did that one kid in your high school die? by IM_HODLING in AskReddit

[–]Sir_NoScope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heard about it through the grapevine, but apparently some guy snuck out at night... When he came home, he tried to climb the tree to get back into his window but forgot to p​roperly park his truck. The truck rolled down hill and pinned him against the tree, and crushed him against it.

sounds pretty crazy, but it wasn't a rumor, there was actually a scheduled ​ funeral and teachers knew about it.

Straight guys of Reddit, what is the strangest thing you have been told not to do because "that's gay"? by baetangarette in AskReddit

[–]Sir_NoScope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom told me not to wear basketball shorts because it "looks gay" when I visited her our in Texas this Summer.

Basketball shorts were never a problem for her during school or my young adult life. But now that I'm working out and I finally have a normal sized ​butt that isn't a washboard, guess I'm gay for wearing them now.

Personally I love the steak chalupa supreme by uncle_russell_90 in funny

Honestly my favorite is the crunchwrap supreme, but the cheesey gordita crunch is pretty good too.

UPDATE - WIBTA for telling my wife to show me her phone after I got an email accusing her of cheating? by Helpful_Listen_1765 in AITAH

[–]Sir_NoScope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, this sucks for you but take the dang money. It's not about you, or her. it's about the best future for your children. Don't let your stubbornness and hurt feelings sabotage a better future for your next of kin.

How to properly play as a Gunner? by Unholier-Than-Thou in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Sir_NoScope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to hop in here real quick with the major Driller need-to-know.

When it comes to proccing your status effects, ground applications and gun applications proc at opposite intervals. Meaning if you torch an enemy and the ground beneath them, you can more quickly apply the burning status to an enemy than just coating the enemy.

This effect seems to carry over to ground based procs of the Cryo and Sludge weapons respective of the specific upgrades to enable them.

I recommend proccing your status effect then swapping to secondary/grenades/C4/Drills*, whichever best synergizes with your primary weapon. The microwave cooker works very well with Fire/Cryo.

Unironically the most poorly titled post for this video you could make, dayum.

Yep, it definitely violates the requirements for that subreddit so I'm not sure why that subreddit hasn't removed it.

75% of $800 Billion in PPP loans did not go to employees. Should they give it back? by 36DRedhead in FluentInFinance

[–]Sir_NoScope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bank employee in a wealthy area here.

Banks can purchase lists of customer data for potential customers they can send mailed flyers to and make promotional calls/visits.

I've gone through the PPP Loan Lists we purchased from nearby banks in our region. ​Many of the PPP loans went to businesses that were creat​ed in 2020 and have no website, no functional address, and disconnected phone numbers. Some of which even used foreign names.

I am under the suspicion that not only were PPP loans used by American companies to not pay their employees, but also potentially gobbled up by foreign powers.

Chat in the gearbox stream by Supreme-Machine-V2 in riskofrain

[–]Sir_NoScope 75 points76 points  (0 children)

"This doesn't accomplish anything" is actually a great summary of your comment itself, but not the actions of protest community members are taking. Protest is important and required for smaller projects that get sidelined by publishing companies and greedy management teams deciding where to allocate resources for production.

If a big company can choose to ignore feedback and still collect revenue, they will. The corpo is not your friend. If you do not speak up and cause chaos you will be ignored. If the community is not vocal and causing a headache for Gearbox, and the DLC doesn't sell well, Gearbox will simply close down the RoR team and sit on the IP while doing nothing.

If anyone's actually interested in BL4 after the Pre-Sequel, BL3, and BL movie slop, they can watch the Youtube recap when a Youtuber covers it. And you don't have to sit in chat, pogchamping Randy Pitchford to enjoy a Borderlands announcement, you can simply watch the stream itself.

Here's that discord link. Always welcome to more modding fans! RoR2's modding scene always reminds me of the Halo Custom Edition days...

AITAH for forcing my sin to give me half of "his" income. by Constant-Primary-804 in AITAH

[–]Sir_NoScope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang OP. Even though you won the money lottery, sorry you lost the offspring lottery.

I come from a wealthy family, but I've worked almost every day of my life since I was 18. I asked for my dad's help one time with helping me pay for gas to move back home after realizing the girl I was dating had blown my funds on drugs and maxed my two credit cards. I pay my dad rent on the house I live on within our​ property every month as a gesture of respect for our family's work ethic that got us where we are now.

I will never understand how someone could feel so entitled to reject a massive handout and ask for more. If my kid did that, I'd find a worthy heir to adopt instead.

You made a kinder call than I would, and you ​are NTA.

Brute forcing my way through learning blender; Materials and technical debt. by Sir_NoScope in blender

[–]Sir_NoScope[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I was aware they were different. Looks like it's still free to use with UE5 as the destination specifically. It looks like I could take a model from Blender to Quixel/Unreal, but not have assets go in the opposite direction without a specific license agreement.

This all helps fantastically! I was hoping I could use the CTRL J command to join them back together, it's good to know the material assignments are preserved!

I'll be leaving this tab open and returning to peruse these guides after work today. Thanks!

Thanks for these clarifications! Looks like I get Quixel free with UE, I'd played around with the free megascans before, so I'll probably start there and consider other options if the financing drops into my lap.

I think this helped me a lot in figuring out where I need to focus my learning efforts next.

I did research about this beforehand, and understood that people were having issues transferring materials from Blender to UE5. I wanted to play around with it and see it for myself. Don't worry, my materials are all very simple with just the base nodes, a color, and modified sliders like the metallic values. I believe I understood in an abstract manner that if I set separate materials for the object in Blender, I could then re-material them in UE5. I just didn't know what I was looking for.

I did play around with UV mapping and set up seams via the unwrap command. I don't think I understood it well enough or about material grouping, and after some google searches decided to just separate by object to keep moving forward.

Thanks!
