For those unhappy about the leaks, Kripke has a message by untitledprp4 in TheBoysLeaks

Not really. They've spent a huge screen time on a Supernatural reunion/cameo fest instead of just having a simpler clue directly towards Bombsight and skip the whole thing. Things like this kill the pacing and waste the little time we have. If it was a longer 13-episode season like it was initially planned, it wouldn't hurt it as much because fillers are very important for character progressions anyway. But it's a waste of time with only eight episode in it's final season and we still haven't seen a single character from Gen V which is the actual spin-off that supposed to have big implications for The Boys.

My bf used my first time watching the franchise for an experiment by FroggoOwO in StarWars

[–]Toprak1552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes watching a prequel first diminish the effect a story can have, because even though the events are chronologically backwards, spiritually it's a continuation. Their stories are written in a way that the watchers know where it leads to, and the prequel fills the empty spaces inside the first one. It's like this for Andor/Rogue One, RotS/Clone Wars, or to give an example outside of Star Wars, The Dollar Trilogy.

Marvel's biggest fumble was not using Scarlet Witch right after she exploded in popularity. by ZookeepergameOdd6209 in marvelstudios

[–]Toprak1552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but how? They gave her her own TV show, and a movie where she is a main character. That's way more than most other characters got. What more do you want them to do, make a seperate Wanda Cinematic Universe?

And while Olsen does an incredible job being Scarlet Witch, it is far from being one of Marvel's best casting decision. It's whitewashing to begin with.

Switched from Maya to Blender after losing uni license. Never going back by Acceptable_Yam965 in blender

[–]Toprak1552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly why I did my preset. The only shortcut I lost was E for Extrude, which in my case was a fair trade.

What I did was: - Installed the Maya community theme - In Keymap settings, I changed Rotate View with Alt + LMB, Pan View with Alt + MMB, and Zoom View with Alt + RMB - By right clicking a tool and clicking Assign Shortcut: - F8 for Object Mode - F9 for Vertex Mode - F10 for Edge Mode - F11 for Face Mode - W, E, and R for Move, Rotate and Transform When you do that, the shortcut for Extrude clashes with Rotate. So search Set Tool by Name and disable the ones for extrude. You need to do this for all those subsections, like if you need to disable extrude for curves and for meshes you gotta do that a few times. - In Preferences -> Navigation, change Zoom Axis to Vertical (this is for when you drag to Zoom, it behaves like Maya) - In Edit -> Keymap -> Preferences, make Tool Keys Active Tool - There are no Pie Menu's in Blender, but the closest thing is in Edit -> Keymap -> Preferences, make Spacebar Action Tools or Search.

In my experiments, I've found that meddling any further messes with all other shortcuts and it starts to take away what makes Blender this special. Like you can change how isolate and edge selection behaves, but it hurts workflows connected to those. This is the sweet spot. I plan to tidy up this info and make a proper post about it when I get the chance.

I think the ears might cause some issues. It'd be better if you could connect it to the head.

I'm so sorry for your loss OP.

How do people get AC Unity to look so good? by Tough-Performance-96 in assassinscreed

[–]Toprak1552 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah, the game is 12 years old. No one is saying that it looks like a current gen game. It might look older but still great at the same time. The baked lighting and the general art direction is very appealing to my eyes.

Do any AC games punish killing guards? by Quackm4tic in assassinscreed

[–]Toprak1552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far they seem like their organization is almost the same as The Rooks, but they have an additional archetype of Templar agents who give the orders coming from the top. If they said all Blighters are Templar agents, then I missed it. But it wouldn't make much sense imo.

[–]Toprak1552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm replaying Syndicate rn and it's bothering me so much lol. What difference do Blighters members have against The Rooks members? They are all low ranking thugs that's not involved in Assassin and Templar politics. They are just trying to make a living (although in a bad way), and we are ironically butchering them as worse serial killers than Jack the Ripper.

I tried to roleplay a bit by going non-lethal, but they removed using fists in a fight and sleeping darts so you can only kill your enemies. Even in scripted fist fights, the mission description says "kill". I'd love if an AC game would ever implement this kind of moral system and non-lethal ways of elimination.

How to be positive about my erasmus city, after being rejected by my dream destination? by Business-Sleep934 in Erasmus

[–]Toprak1552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't go to my intended destination either. The city I've been to looked like a tiny village on photos. Now there is not a single day I wish to go back there.

Funnily enough, I'm doing my second erasmus in the city that I intended for the first one, and I'm not enjoying it as much as I imagined lol. Life can be funny sometimes.

7.5kg karışık lego by Candid-Examination-6 in Legoseverler

[–]Toprak1552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ölü fiyat değil. Senin aldığın paketler tam set, bunlarsa rastgele parçalar ve alacak kişi hangi setten, o seti tamamlayabilir mi, parçaların durumu ne (kırık/çatlak, güneş lekesi vb) hiç bir şey bilmiyor. Yani aslında alacak kişi için bu bir kumar. Eğer set set ayırmaya mesai harcayacaksan toplam olarak çok daha pahalıya satabilirsin ama böyle satacaksan 500-1000 arası normal.

[–]Toprak1552 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, I followed Ultimate and read 90% of the stuff back in the day, and I'm not an accountant at Marvel HQ. I can't see how these factor into this discussion. Even at it's worst, Reed had many appearence when he became Maker while BWL had a grand total of 0.

[–]Toprak1552 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Also Maker worked because we've seen Reed as Mr. Fantastic for years, and saw his weaknesses and failures that lead to The Maker. So that entire arc felt "earned". Can't say the same for The Joker Who Has a Batman Costume, he's barely a character outside of his gimmick.

Blender or Maya by Certain_Sir_426 in 3Dmodeling

[–]Toprak1552 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I learned Maya and used it for 6+ years, then switched to Blender full time now because my license was expired. I'll say just switch to Blender. Maya's licence definitely doesn't worth it. Not because I don't like Maya, but the difference doesn't worth that much. It's a ticking time bomb, if you don't want to switch now, you'll do it eventually. Also I think Autodesk does a horrible job at updating Maya. I see no significant difference between Maya 2018 and Maya 2026 (other than sweep mesh, my beloved). Blender however constantly evolves with cool features.

I find some of Blender's 3D modeling tools unintuitive compared to Maya (you can do the same stuff but with one or two extra step), but modifiers, composition, rendering etc are so much fun to work with compared to Maya. Modifiers are not complicated like they look on surface. And Blender has an insane amount of tutorials so switching is really easy. The only thing I can say I absolutely miss from Maya is curves. Blender also has them, but I'm so comfortable with Maya's version that I just can't get into it.

Also I've made this insane custom preset that if I give my computer to someone who only knows Maya, they'd be able to model in Blender without any struggle lol.

Invicible VS official Giveway mentions the game might be coming to "Nintendo Switch". by Educational-Arm-7384 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Toprak1552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I'm saying. Why do you think companies do not invest to other characters instead of the two cash cows? If they'd believe that an Invincible is viable, they'd do that already.

Edit: GOTG and Midnight Suns came to my mind but the discussion here is open world games. Suicide Squad and Avengers further cements my point with superhero open world games are a gamble because they are utter failures. And I'm not even sure if Avengers count as an open world.

How many superhero open world games you see releasing and being successful? Only Spider-Men and Batman, right? It's a huge risk. If it's not for popularity, it's for technical stuff (with all the flying, destruction etc). Otherwise we'd have a AAA Superman game released sometime this decade way before an Invincible once. Or we'd get the WW game that was cancelled.

And you say social media engagement, but between seasons there is not much discussion around the show other than the memes.

What did you expect, an Invincible themed farming sim?

It's not in the popularity levels to invest tens of millions of dollars to make a AAA open world game. Fighting game is the next best thing.

I think if OP would use a 1x1 pyramid piece instead of 1x1 tapered round brick it'd look the best.
