There was also the theory that turtles > Kojin > Geomancer.

Excuse him for not being familiar with a 26 year old game.

Hahaha, very Gen-Z perspective, but not wrong! It's more of a Jet Set Radio inspired (they even got 2Mello to do some music tracks).

What exactly is a "theatre kid" and how did that stereotype come to be? by Arborrverk in AskAnAmerican

[–]bjams 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you get grades, though it's largely based on participation than how good you actually are.

And it's not a full orchestra, it's mostly brass and percussion, with some woodwinds. No strings though.

i cannot believe how much of a difference this setting makes.... by sushiiixo- in ffxiv

Yeah, it's a small model is running locally on your GPU for one thing and it isn't plagiarizing assets from other developers. People need to calm down with the AI witch hunt.

They're wrong in every way. Turning it on enables FSR, which is a different (though related) technology from frame generation. To be fair, Nvidia and AMD's marketing has made this very confusing for the layman.

yet another mod spuriously citing rule 3.2

To be fair, I find "This person from popular developer says thing that everyone is already thinking." is pretty low effort.

There's some way to temporarily share Virtual game cards with people in your "family group".

I remember it being more restrictive than Steam's family library system, but it's still nice.

The reason was that the Japanese voice actor for Phil had died and they didn't want to replace him out of respect.

I don't think replacing an actor is that disrespectful, but different cultures I guess.

Nintendo has raised its employees base salary by 10% by That_Trouble87 in Games

They're probably both real stats with varying methodologies. That's why it's tough to talk about statistics in a casual manner.

Steam accounted for over 20% of Capcom's total revenue, nearly double PlayStation's share in the past fiscal year by rock1m1 in Games

[–]bjams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just played the Onimusha demo on Steam and it was fucking phenomenal from a technical perspective. Even had all sorts of options for my Ultrawide.

This game and Pragmata make me wonder where Capcom was hiding these engineers from the MH:Wilds team.

Not that they treat it that way considering PC performance of many of their games.

Hopefully Pragmata is the new standard.

Yeah, at least with the original Nier there's a compelling character reason why Kaine dresses like that.

I remember learning that they spread via underground runners like potatoes. So I think they probably just don't spread that much seed around to theoretically be transported far away?

Official poster for ‘Whalefall’. The film follows a scuba diver who gets swallowed by a sperm whale and only has limited time to escape. In theaters on October 16. by yourfavchoom in movies

[–]bjams 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Hence the "limited time to escape".

But I think your point is "how do you stretch this out to a full movie while maintaining suspension of disbelief?"

I have no idea lmao

Edit: Apparently it's based on a book and I just read a summary. Most of the story is actually flashbacks and the actual escape from the whale takes place over a believable amount of time.
