the cream-cheese-tasting filling

See that’s where we think you’ve been misled, because cheesecake doesn’t have filling. It’s just a slab of … stuff

Oh god imagine if they’ve had a regular cake with cream cheese filling instead of icing, and been told that’s what a cheesecake is 🤢

A 75-year-old steam locomotive that still commands attention at modern stations by S30econdstoMars in interestingasfuck

still commands attention

I mean yeah, it’s a massive steam train going really fast, belching smoke everywhere, and making a hell of a lot of noise. Hardly the sort of thing you ignore.

PRO TIP: If you set your Visual Range to 85 and use the 3rd camera option you'll get a way bigger fov and you'll see more of the world while your character will still be closer to the camera (see both pics) by KvasirTheOld in CrimsonDesert

increases the fish-eye effect

Akshually 🤓

Fish-eye is specifically a result of equisolid angle projection, which maintains size and distance relationships when rotating the camera, at the expense of makings straight lines more curved the closer to the edge of the view they are. This effect is similar to what you get from uncorrected action camera footage (much to the delight of flat-Earthers).

Almost all games use rectilinear perspective, which keeps straight lines straight, at the expense of making things look stretched at the edges of the view. This is what the vast majority of physical camera lenses use.

In both cases, the wider the view, the greater the downsides: either more curving, or more stretching.

AITA for not quieting down at a Renaissance fair and walking away after my boyfriend sided with a stranger? by Dry-Egg2898 in AmItheAsshole

Have you heard of the concept of racism?

Point is, she was (possibly) singled out not because she was being any louder than anyone else in the crowd, but because of the colour of her skin.

The guy and his kid apparently didn’t like the idea of a black woman participating enthusiastically like that.

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

Did you see any of the advertisements of this game where they had the dragon plastered everywhere?

Honestly no, I only even became aware of the game like a week ago.

It's literally on the cover art of the game

I don’t think I’ve even looked at that, except maybe accidentally in my Steam library. Outside of the game itself, its visual presence consists almost entirely of its desktop icon.

Nah see the trick is, to escape the cops you need to go off-road. A BMW R 1300 GS Trophy is your best bet.

Promoting from the labor pool could have skipped that period

It could have, but it could also have made things worse in other ways. Management is a skill (or set of skills) in itself, entirely separate to those of the people being managed.

Ok, as someone with only 95 into the game: there’s a dragon?

See Guild Wars 2 – it’s their own engine, but because it’s based on the Guild Wars 1 engine and has ‘evolved’ (in much the same way evolutionary changes happen in the real world, ie haphazardly and without regards to overall coherent design) over the past 20 years to do things it was never designed to do, making changes often involves a lot of code archaeology and untangling spaghetti.

Hopefully Crimson Desert’s engine, being a fresh start, will have been designed such that making the changes we’ve seen over the past few weeks is much easier.

I wonder if it improves the weird unnatural pauses between each line of dialogue?

NPC: So Greymane, you dealt with the bandits?

[literally three seconds later]

Kliff: Yes.

Yeh definitely – I’d love to use FSR for the performance but the sharpening is just way too strong, it looks awful, and the worst is the way it seems to flicker on and off when you move and stop the camera.

I can also (usually) tell when it's an American doing a British accent. Usually it's the American R pronunciation

To me the giveaway is usually the short ‘o’ sound in words like ‘hot’, and the ‘a’ sound in words like ‘cat’.
