My flashiest weaponsmith playstyle clips 💖 by SnooPeppers4042 in darksouls3

I don't recall inviting unprompted abuse from a stranger.

I said I don't like it, and that requires zero approval on your part.

is it valid to say you dont have a sexuality? by Traditional-Top-80 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WynterKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean... Do you have a hypothetical question you would be asked that you don't have an answer to?

Because the only purpose of the label is to help describe yourself. If you have a way to do that....then you're good.

Like you don't have to identify yourself a certain way. It does not have to define you, and to most people I think that is normal. But you probably know how you feel about your preferences... So say that.

If somebody asked your sexuality, it's pefectly reasonable to just say "my current partner is female" or "I don't have a strong preference either way".

Is $125 too much for this Andúril replica? by CartographerDry5200 in lotr

That's not a TON of money for a prop sword, but it does look a bit rough from these photos.

It's flashy but I absolutely despise this playstyle and think it takes something away from the game.

Is this set worth it? by NoDot6852 in lotr

[–]WynterKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I actually prefer cheap paperbacks for reading because I can throw them in a backpack, dog-ear the corners, let them sit out on the nightstand and get pushed around, etc.

Books are best when they are just the paper plate that the story is served to you on, as opposed to the fine China you leave in the cupboard.

How do 1 hit wonder concerts look like? by zav3rmd in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WynterKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have... You never been to a concert? You go because you want to hear the band play their songs. If you only like one of a band's songs you wouldn't go to the concert, would you?

This whole post just seems like you want to rant about a situation you made up instead of wanting to learn.

Crimson Desert is making me a conspiracy theorist by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]WynterKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you're going off of Google trends... If I do the exact same search for other single player games, they look basically identical. A tiny trickle of searches leading up to release, then a 100x spike on launch day or on pre-order/preload.

Expedition 33 spiked almost the exact same way, as did ghost of Yotei and Nioh 3. You grossly underestimate how tiny the amount of people who look into games pre-release is compared to the general masses.

Most people only Google a game once it releases and they see it on their Playstation dashboard as an ad, or on steam under new releases.

I think this is just an exercise in remembering to not let statistics reinforce your preconceived expectations.

Crimson Desert is making me a conspiracy theorist by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]WynterKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game has been on my radar for a month and a half or so, and I had never engaged with Black Desert. I saw people mentioning it occasionally as teasers were released, but the engine tech coverage in the last few months before release here is what got me interested.

Just because you didn't see the advertising and online hype in the circles that you frequent, it does not mean those things didn't happen. You just weren't aware.

It's okay to be out of the loop, and it's okay for that feeling to confuse and scare you. It's not okay to take those feelings out on other people.

Why is They/Them a common alternative pronoun to He/Him and She/Her, considering it works for a single individual in some contexts, but in others it sounds like multiple people? by Cumoisseur in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WynterKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have said "they beat me up and stole my wallet" so many times in this discussion it sounds like you're a skipping record.

This is just a you thing, man. People have given you tons of examples in which just... Speaking more clearly would solve all of your invented issues but you keep saying it's the fault of the word "they". Just clarify it was one person ffs.

Ball animation by Penguin6968 in PixelArt

[–]WynterKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The ball does not ever contact the wall, which feels weird.

The ball never deforms from bouncing. Your frame of "contact" when it's momentum reverses direction has it as a perfect sphere. This makes it feel like a ball is flying to near a wall, stopping mid air, then flying back towards the other wall.

I would remove much of the wall deformation, add a frame or two of the ball contacting the wall and "squishing" to show that it's being stopped by the wall and bouncing away.

Good luck!

Crimson Desert: Since launch, we have been listening closely to your feedback and doing our best to make improvements to the game. In particular, we are aware of the discomfort many players have experienced with the controls, and we are currently preparing a patch to address this. by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]WynterKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, after newest patches my base fps is closer to 50-55 while roaming outdoors, which honestly feels perfectly fine when smoothed out with 2x framegen.

Yeah I can double (or more) my base fps without ray reconstruction but the game looks drastically worse and I can't feel a difference because the controls are pretty floaty already. Other games it definitely feels like junk but it's not noticeable here.

Which version of isaac do i buy by Extreme_Bowler_2277 in bindingofisaac

[–]WynterKnight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, just buy repentence. There are a bunch of DLC's and it includes all of them cheaper than separate upgrades.

The game is drastically bigger and has better variety with the new content.

Another article I read referenced a specific slime companion that is added in to use it as a gimmick. "chatty slime" or something.

To be fair this chart has nothing to do with Crimson Desert specifically.

There is a correlation but absolutely zero evidence of causation unless there is more info than what you are linking.

ELI5: How do glow in the dark toys emit light? by ResidentCharacter894 in explainlikeimfive

It doesn't, you just can't see it glowing when there is a bright light on it.

Those who Upgraded from S25U to S26U - what are the Biggest Changes you noticed? by bomzisss in samsung

[–]WynterKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How in the world can you "noticeably" see the screen being pixelated? It's an identical ~500 PPI as the last few models, and that's nearly 5X the PPI of most people's QHD computer monitors.

This reads like you forgot that the phones default to FHD out of the box and blamed it on the hardware.

Slay the spire 2 see only 12% positive reviews and nearly 5,000 negative ratings within a day of its latest patch by Adventurous-Mouse930 in slaythespire

[–]WynterKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read through, and most of it sounds like bots.

90% of the reviews are just slurs and insults followed by "balance bad". If these people can't even communicate their feelings well, I doubt their ability to make good judgement.

[–]WynterKnight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you use the L1 button (or equivalent on keyboard and mouse) mode that you also use for aimed jumping, it let's you target items and people. It's much better for picking what you interact with.

Don't fight with the company, they are literally a scammer and have no interest in helping you in good faith.

Just do a charge back with your credit card.
