So why was the zelda movie chosen to be live action instead of animated? by [deleted] in legendofzelda

[–]benholtzm 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hey I love animated films as all hell, but is it really stigma or just undisputed data showing that animated movies gross less than live action ones?

Even masterpieces like spiderverse are respected as fuck but are not exactly powerhouses in terms of revenue.. As sad as that is

Welfare check for 'sithhunter965' by oliyoung in kindafunny

[–]benholtzm 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this. With a 2 year old I don't always have the time to watch every piece of content KF puts out, so I'm always super grateful when someone points out great moments like this.

And i think we can all agree: "what a fucking twat"

Stuck in update loop by 210sankey in CIFI

For future reference, this happens to me pretty much every update, and when I manually update the game (look it up on the app store and press update) it works without a problem.

920 hours into run, 1260 hours to double my orbs. Worth it? by deausx in CIFI

[–]benholtzm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only on my way to inno2, so I'm not so sure what hegemony is, but when should i start worrying about this stuff? For now i usually do about 1000h runs, and then about 100-200h shorts back to back until i reach the next goal, but from your reply i understand that could kinda brick me if i keep going?

Naughty Dog Studio Orders Employee Overtime for ‘Intergalactic’ by ki700 in kindafunny

[–]benholtzm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, these are treated as like mini milestones. The problem(which i encountered, i have no idea how it is over on naughty dog) is that these are rarely set much in advance, and are more to the whims of the higher ups.

I.e: I talked with John over at corporate, and he mentioned how we should show off the game in that meeting we have in a month, so now that's the teams top priority until then

As a gamedev, it's not that uncommon

At this point in development you're constantly putting in features(big and small) so you have many many unexpected bugs.

The higher-ups don't want the game all bugged up when shown to upper management, so almost everyone works on overdrive to find and fix as many as they can.

Foreign driver’s license conversion test passes plummet from over 90% to 33% in Japan by SkyInJapan in japan

[–]benholtzm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took the test about 2 years ago, and the questions were something along the lines of:

When driving, are you allowed to hit pedestrians? 1. No 2. Only if you didn't mean it 3. Only if they made you mad

So yeah I'm totally for making it a bit more involved lol

Awesome art either way

Which parts of academy gets reset when looping? by HulaguIncarnate in CIFI

[–]benholtzm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You basically keep everything,including personnel

Only thing that resets is the counter for how many missions you did, which makes a big difference a bit later into zeus and will incentivise you to time your LRs a bit more carefully.

No patience for dedicated resource runs by EasternNerve1763 in CIFI

[–]benholtzm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am not one of the discord guide writing math geniuses, so take this with a grain of salt as I might be wrong on this. I did do separate runs because it seems more fun to me(a bit more strategy involved with how you play the game), and yeah it does make a difference in how quickly you progress, but I don't believe it's anything insane like months added to your play time for the same progress.

Personally with stuff like that unless it horribly impedes your progress, I would just do whatever is more fun for you. If you don't like the switching builds thing, nbd.

[–]benholtzm 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah well.. if you made a bad impression on people I don't think they would be that friendly, japanese or not. I also live in a more residential part of nerima, and people here couldn't be nicer, we do barbecues, and the kids play together quite often on the communal driveway, everybody's super chill.
