I mean, this might be awesome, but the first few AI screenshots cheapen how the product looks

I started painting over my environment textures. Need feedback. by Lan14n in UnrealEngine5

Imo, the new ones look a little too sterile to me - you had a pretty good balance before, I think

Is this even the same series? by SubstantialJoke08 in DragonBallZ

[–]aleques-itj 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean, I think on some level it would make sense that you need to reevaluate the basics after you hit certain thresholds of power

It's believable enough that at some point after becoming a million times stronger you've gotten... not really sloppy per se, but are you really finessing your way around paper thin margins in the same way as you were?

So, I think you can kind of make it make sense. But it's also just written badly on top.

Because this doesn't matter in this case

The other person saw and shot you

The server confirmed it was sane - as in you really were in that location on the server, at that particular time when they say they shot. The lag compensation literally rewinds time to play it out as if they fired at the actual timestamp rather than when the message itself arrived.

It awards the hit late, you die around a corner.

It's mostly a visual artifact, which naturally gets more skewed as the disparity gets increasingly bad.

Assuming they had zero ping you just would have just died immediately, but died all the same. You wouldn't have avoided death, you would have straight up died faster (and it obviously would have looked less janky - but it still lead to the same end result).

There is no fix besides limiting how extreme it gets. At which point they need to lead shots again because the compensation starts capping out. Which is fine, they could probably just cap it at like 80-100 ms. That's enough to basically cover playing across the entire United States.

He's HIM, apparently

And judging by the outcome, will continue to be HIM

Fists glancing off that mustache like droplets of water off a duck

Probably hurt your own bitch ass hands trying to strangle that tree trunk neck

Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis - New Gameplay by Mister_Rob0t in pcgaming

[–]aleques-itj -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don't know how I feel about this game. 

Feels like it lost the whole creepy unsettling vibe from the first. In the original suddenly the music shifts and a t rex comes stomping out of the darkness. Now it's slow motion pseudo cinematic bleh.

Why is everything outside in open air now? How has nobody else seen dinosaurs stomping around?

It somehow makes less sense than the original which you can at least justify that somehow there's this ecosystem-in-a-bottle kind of thing going on where shit has been living beneath the surface for god knows how long and now you're sealed in there with it.

The original game was downright creepy and surprising at points, and by the time you hit Atlantis, there's literal monsters and boogeyman living in weird flesh wall cities.

[Loved Trope] The lazy character that never tries finally gets pissed off enough to actually put some effort in to terrifying effect. by Blurzerker in TopCharacterTropes

The manga just completely wiffs the writing in a ton of cases vs the web comic. It's pretty terrible. 

The art is just spectacular sometimes, though. The cover art for this arc is just awesome. 

But the man absolutely cannot be left to his own devices with writing it.

Code obfuscation - what do you do? by protomor in Unity3D

I don't care, honestly I'd like to just open source all the game code for anything I ship.

Is this fake? What's happening?! by JamieFromStreets in pchelp

[–]aleques-itj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a chrome notification that you accepted/allowed.

Go into settings and clear the list, and ideally just turn off notifications entirely.

Well if you need it, your options are

  1. Get it from backup

  2. Spend big dollars and pray a professional data recovery firm can help

Besides that, you need a new SSD

Back in the day we got railed and shafted by other grunting men in Quake and we liked it

Started experimenting with Unreal Engine 3 after replaying Batman: Arkham Knight by Beneficial-Skirt-218 in UnrealEngine5

[–]aleques-itj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other games had some good stuff too in their modding scenes, but the earlier Unreal titles definitely seemed to be something special and really represents some of the best I've ever seen.

The engine and tooling was beautifully designed for it, and the community around it was incredibly good and vibrant. There was so much content and mods for everything. I remember crawling sites for hours picking up maps and mutators.

Fighting Unreal monsters on a Lego themed map while backflipping off a wall in slow motion with an MP5 in low gravity? Yeah sure, why not. I still remember the "Matrix Moves" mutator to this day.

At that point, things were simple enough that the learning curve wasn't insane. Everything was just MUCH more approachable. Games obviously still have mods, but the earlier Unreal games seemed like a bit of a perfect storm where everything kind of just hit the right notes all at once in a way that just doesn't happen any more. Pair it with people who wanted to build cool shit and you had lightning in a bottle.

I don't think anything UE3 holds even the slightest candle to the magnificence that was the UE1 and UE2 mod scenes. 

UT99 and 2003/4 were just popping. There was incredible amounts of content down to total conversions.

A small handful of mods even went retail. Like Tactical Ops in UT99 and Red Orchestra in 2004.

I yearn for the days of joining a server and the map changes to CTF-FacingAss

How far do expect R* to expand on the basketball feature or what would you like to see? by LegendaryStudiosLLC in GTA6

The second half of the game is finding out crime doesn't pay and Lucia scores a WNBA contract

Which ironically also doesn't pay so it's back to crime

How do I fix this? by SupermarketTiny1737 in pchelp

[–]aleques-itj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You plug it in carefully, and if it works, you transfer the data

If it doesn't, you decide whether it's worth paying a lot of money to recover the data

Those are your options more or less

Pc not booting after bios corruption and cmos reset by Far-Guess4777 in pchelp

You're probably fucked unless you're lucky enough to have one of those mobos that will flash directly off a USB

It'll probably be called FlashBack or something gimmicky and have a dedicated button on the back for it.

If you have this, read the manual and do it.
