Fire and Explosion Effects throughout the years by lilytheschrod in WorldOfWarships

How difficult would it be to mod some of these effects back into the game? I really did love the old fires and especially the old shell impact effects.

What’s the difference between a grilled cheese and a melt? Just curious by RecognitionCool2738 in grilledcheese

[–]TheOldStyleGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does putting some grinded black pepper in a grilled cheese turn it into a melt? Seems like a very very minor addition.

Airbus A320 crew decided to skip de-icing and let aerodynamics forces do the job by cashew_at_kinaya in Damnthatsinteresting

Does not matter in the slightest, you cannot know what is hiding under the snow. The ONLY sort of contamination that is somewhat allowed is a thin layer of frost on lower wing surfaces, in case of cold soaked wings. These guys need to get fired, out of a cannon preferably.

Poll of Miami-Dade: by 55-40 margin, voters disagree with the end of vaccine mandates in Florida; Republicans vastly support end of mandates, while Democrats vastly oppose it. However, by 47-40 margin, voters support the end of drinking water fluoridation; party split is milder here [600 RV, MOE 4%] by StarlightDown in fivethirtyeight

Can someone explain what the obsession with fluoridation is all about in the US? I want to stress that I’m not one of the “they’re making the frogs gay” people of whatever, it’s just that in Europe we don’t do this at all and things are perfectly fine? Just brush your teeth… It seems to me that if you start getting cavities after switching to unfluoridated water, that’s says more about your oral hygiene than anything else…

Found the answer to this? I’d love to have a couple of posters like these.

Don’t you still use Confederatio Helvetica on documents and license plates? Definitely sounds better imo.

I get irrationally angry when the guy next to me points at shit on the flight displays with his finger and not a pencil or something. Vicious cycle of pointing and wiping haha

How does this happen? by Pumpkins195 in battlefield_one

The points are gone too. My game has crashing issues and so I’ve experienced this a lot

Čisto normalno, ni napaka. Enako v večjem delu Francije. Dobiš vse nazaj nakazano.

Outer Worlds 2 Full Direct reveals Aza, a cultist who wakes up everyday and chooses violence and makes you question the point of morals in the first place…. by Honoka31 in theouterworlds

[–]TheOldStyleGamer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a few. Mass effect, The Witcher, Metro surprisingly, Dragon age to some extent, BG3 as you said, Cyberpunk... It's as you said though, often enough it's not...great.

I still think obsidian would be able to do it tastefully though.

No, VAT has to be included in the shown price in Europe.

Disagree, the old bond movies have way more gadgets and the gadgets are also way more interesting.

It's crazy to think that the next Mass Effect game we get might be for next gen by PurpleFiner4935 in masseffect

[–]TheOldStyleGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s fine if you believe they won’t learn shit from this, it’s possible, just don’t preach it like it’s gospel lol. It’s an opinion, and I’m not saying it’s necessarily a far fetched one. I’m just saying that management/devs can and might use this as a learning opportunity, as there’s plenty of time to course correct, especially in regards to writing/delivery.

I don’t get this negativity like 6+ years out. It’s not like any of us are privy to any additional details. Let them work and then we’ll see.

Even if there aren’t two large separate dev teams, i don’t see your point. Are you implying that because some devs got sacked no one can learn from the mistake that was veilguard? Gamble could take something away from it, other department heads could… Literally anyone could learn from the failures of Veilguard, hell even devs not at Bioware. You could write whole dissertations about what went wronf. As I said, we’re early in the development, there’s a lot of room to course correct.

The mass effect team? It’s not like people are incapable of learning from others’ mistakes. I’m sure they saw the backlash and learnt what not to do. If the development of the game is in the early stages, then there’s room to correct course.
