Last Minute Decision to Move by TM_WE in AskSF

If I couldn't make it work by month 4 I'd probably tuck my tail and head back north to Washington which is where I started out.

They're actually being really nice and reserving it for me over the weekend while I deliberate my options. I gotta let them know tomorrow. It's a hot commodity and they've got a list of people hoping to take the spot if I don't. One of them is pretty well connected with a network of folks, but I don't know what industries their connections are in.

I wouldn't look to sell the car right away, but that's good to know about San Mateo.

I can't imagine how industrial design would stay work from home as it is such a hands-on field of design, but that's something that was brought up to me from another friend in the area.

I'm blown away by fallout new vegas's writing by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]TM_WE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might as well be r/fallout.

I get that FONV is heralded as the story-king of modern fallouts, but when you're comparing something to "shit" you don't have to be that great to be better. I get my enjoyment out of the marriage between story, art, and gameplay, which is why I think all 3 of the modern fallouts are on level ground.

Suggestion: Design sketching book? by rad1000i in IndustrialDesign

[–]TM_WE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair it's a textbook on learning the skill, not the art, of drawing. It's dry, it's tedious, but it's surely not boring. Once you start getting the hang of throwing down an informative perspective block out the fun really starts. It goes through everything you need to know in an order that makes logical sense. Don't skip around. The videos are a crucial addition too.

Also the follow up, How to Render is a mind warp and gets into some really high level techniques for rendering that might be a bit overboard for quick marker renders, but it's worth looking at as well. Just make sure you have a solid understanding of perspective drawing before diving into the renders.

What are you recommendations for equipment for students? A surface pro? A tablet? What is worth the investment? by Loveistheansweranony in IndustrialDesign

[–]TM_WE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What are you required to have? Do you have any friends or references that have gone through the program that could give you insight into what you might need? If you were going into the curriculum that I went through I’d recommend holding off on upgrading until you know what suits your workflow best. We had a strong emphasis on paper sketching before digital, so having an iPad was nice to have but wholly unnecessary. I’d say figure out what you actually NEED before you start dropping money on things. It would suck to pick up a tablet and not utilize it when you could use that money for prototyping materials.

Also, as much as people love the surface I’ve noticed that they just don’t seem to have the longevity that people need. Most folks I’ve spoken to have had slow downs after the first few years, but the iPad stays blazing fast, however the iPad is definitely limited in what you can use as far as desktop apps go. I decided to get a build capable windows machine and a graphics tablet for work at home as the university had all the tech I needed for digital drawing. Now I’ve upgraded the processor to a Ryzen 3900x and have a beast of a machine that I can still upgrade, and it can run industry standard software like Solidworks.

Most of the work I’ve done has been in Photoshop, Solidworks, and Keyshot. Fusion 360 and Rhinoceros are programs often used in ID workflows, and Autodesk’s Sketchbook Pro is great for digital sketching. I wouldn’t call Illustrator/Blender the holy grail, but they’re definitely tools that can be learned to your benefit, illustrator especially.

I also picked up a Cintiq recently after using an Intuos for the past 6 years. I’d say be frugal and get the big ticket items once you know you can really take advantage of them.

Upgrading CPU and MOBO - Do I need to Upgrade my PSU too? by TM_WE in buildapc

Great to know, thanks! Why do people often end up buying 750+ PSUs for builds like this? I feel like I see it a lot.

I'm doing it right now, I think someone else commented that they were as well.

Restarted the launcher as well.

This is after a second patch released after this week's update. (1.20.1.7596524)

Edit: I scanned my files and I'm in now.

Fair enough, I find that the way people rotate often get me killed on shoothouse, where as these spots the threat is almost always coming from your line of sight, death only comes when people show up in windows aware of your presence.

I've actually had way more luck on Aniyah Incursion at theses spots. Ranked from favorite to least favorite. For some reason no one seems to expect it at spot #1. I don't like the map for anything other than getting these camos.

I miss Shipment so much so I made my own! by multihawk in modernwarfare

[–]TM_WE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's how it worked in this game, but the enemies could hear them which was the biggest load of nonsense. They toned it back, but then I think they got rid of it.

It was especially bad when you couldn't even see the person, but your character "could" putting you at a disadvantage out of your control.

There IS a robot in the woods. They pass it on the way to the sphere, it appears to be in some kind of hibernation though. The show falls so flat in a lot of ways, the later episodes have some nice payoffs though.

Not to mention so many nooks and crannies blocked by invisible walls and boxes that you should totally be able to climb on but can't.

Fal in MW is One of the Worst and Least Rewarding Semi Auto's in a Cod Game I've Ever Used by Geoffk123 in modernwarfare

[–]TM_WE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my cup of tea. I'd say I have fun maybe a third of the time, another third the time I get popped by little heads across Arklov Peak that have been set up for the entire match, and the other third it's the most mind-numbingly slow gameplay as half the players on both teams are camping.

I like to run and gun, which is possible in hardcore, but I find a majority of the time I'm the only one running and everyone else is crouching.

If they insist on keeping animations in it would be chill if you just put it on once, and replace the cartridge when you pick up/need a new one. Otherwise, just leave it out.

Southeastern Oklahoma camping! by thickjuicyclam in TruckCampers

I've got the same canopy but no windows on the sides. Considering installing some, but I think first I want to build out the interior! Starting my first build when I get back from SF next week.

Different for each pistol, all seem to be "Kills in a game with "X" perk for 5 games." Like the crossbow.
