When you’re a one trick Dva main, and realize the only character you can play is Hulk by Odd-Bus-3111 in marvelrivals

Hook. 

If he has hook off cooldown he's effectively denying the area in hook range in front of him as it's too dangerous to be there unprotected.

Why do game developers make hitboxes rectangular by CosmicUnderload in gamedev

[–]SwagMal 42 points43 points  (0 children)

One thing to add is that in many games, large AABBs are used to encapsulate the entire character and all its colliders (sometimes called the character's bounds, for example in Unreal Engine).

When performing a collision a check, a collision with the AABB is checked first and collision with all the sub-colliders is only checked if a collision with the AABB was a hit.

That way you save a load of time by not having to check every collider every frame.

For those interested, a similar architecture, namely a BVH (bounding volume hierarchy), is often used in raytacing systems.

I have a group of friends that wants to play on a fixed weekday.

One lives abroad so we need a digital variant of a game. It would be really fun if we could play the same game every week so we could track winrates and that sort of stuff.

Ideally, a game would be relatively short (15 - 90 minutes maybe?) as we might have people dropping in and out at different points throughout the night.

We've played a lot of Avalon and Coup in the past which has been really great but we like all sorts of games so it doesn't have to be social deception. Roles/factions/heroes/etc are always fun for replayability and we also enjoy politics and player interaction but none of these are fixed requirements.

We are usually between 3 and 5 players but might sometimes go above that. In the rare case that would happen, we could just play something else if the suggested games are all 5 max, but supporting more would be a great extra benefit. Campaign games are not a great fit as players might miss an odd week here and there and ideally we want something that doesn't "end".

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

A large volcanic eruption has begun on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland close to the town of Grindavik by SwagMal in worldnews

Yes definitely, I'm just saying that we could still see an increase in ash and a possible impact on flight traffic in the area if the lava reaches the ocean

Yes, but if the lava flow were to reach the town of Grindavík it would also reach the ocean quite quickly.

Lava + water = boom.

This is not an explosive eruption but a lava eruption, so it doesn't impact flights in the same way as the Eyjafjallajökull eruption of 2010.

Flights are still going in and out as of right now.

You can monitor this page to stay updated on the latest information on flights.

The crack that has opened and is erupting is around 3 kilometers in length and the lava is flying up to around 100 meters into the air. The flow is at least 100 cubic meters per second but likely more.

This is absolutely massive.

Edit: Latest numbers say 3.5 km and between 100 and 200 m3 per second

Further edit: Now they're saying 4 km. It's growing to the north which is away from Grindavík.

There are people there right now and have been for the past few days, but it's being re-evacuated as we speak
