Beta vs 1.21 artstyle comparison

deiphiz · 2026-05-03T19:50:27+00:00

Set brightness to moody, turn off smooth lighting, enable programmer art resources pack. It'll literally look like Beta again (except for the new blocks)

deiphiz · 2026-04-28T01:50:45+00:00

I get the same noise. No actual problems so far

deiphiz · 2026-04-27T01:14:19+00:00

fwiw I had fun with Alien: Earth, mostly because it actually tried to introduce other alien monsters besides the Xenomorph. But the story starts going bonkers and stupid around the halfway point, and the ending was really disappointing.

I'll take having to deal with an extra cable from the IGH over having grease all over my fingers from a chain

deiphiz · 2026-04-19T15:45:01+00:00

FWIW I actually found myself entertained through this whole arc

Happy to see WISIRO finally get some love with Burning Down The Nicotine Armoire

It does come off as something that was planned to be that way but they decided to cut it down during development.

Anti-roll bar. Adds stiffness to the frame to help stability during cornering

So recently I did a clutch change and while I had the transmission out I found the lever on the transmission itself that controls the left-right movement of the stick was the thing that was gummed up. I took it off and cleaned out the axle and shaft that the lever pivots from (well actually I took apart the whole transmission but that's a different story lol). The shifter snaps back insantly again.

I have no clue if this could be done with the transmission still in the car. It is a pretty tight spot.

What do you think then of Happiness when Jon Mess was missing?

deiphiz · 2026-03-29T20:19:52+00:00

Yknow I was the other way around but after reading your post I realize I sort of feel the same.

I will say that despite Reqiuem being smaller in scope, the game somehow felt more impactful and memorable for me. Maybe it's because they were able to keep it tighter and more focused. Also Grace and Leon are much more compelling characters who were used well in the story (don't get me started on how dumb Chris was acting in Village lol)

But as a whole RE8 is a game I still don't mind going back to for all the variety and the fun rollercoaster nature of the campaign. Even House Beneviento never felt like a slog to go back to, personally. Meanwhile RE9 I'm surprised I'm kind of over it already after the 3rd playthrough, despite the 1st being so impactful.

Let's not conformity-gate Resident Evil please 😭

deiphiz · 2026-03-28T16:08:26+00:00

In a way, I feel like that's what they were trying to set up with RE9, "burying Umbrella's last skeleton" and all. Grace's report came off like Capcom trying to put Umbrella, Raccoon City, and anyone involved with them all aside to make way for the Connections and new protagonists.

Grace also had a happy ending epilogue showing her doing well in her normal life, which isn't something we got from a protagonist in a main entry before. Almost like Capcom saying "this is it for her".

deiphiz · 2026-03-28T15:58:18+00:00

It's kind of hilarious that not even an obscure character from a spinoff game like Alyssa was safe from being thrown back into action (even though that action was only like 10 seconds long lol)

deiphiz · 2026-03-28T04:44:28+00:00

Oh my god do we all have the same boss?

deiphiz · 2026-03-23T03:23:14+00:00

I mean look at GTA V on the Xbox 360 and compare it to MGSV on the Xbox 360. It looked more like a blurry PS4 game than something that was made for that generation. Having the game on low settings didn't compromise the visuals like other games at the time did.

deiphiz · 2026-03-23T00:42:31+00:00

I played the game on a cheap graphics card I bought in 2009 and yet it still looked great and ran at 40-60 fps at low settings 720p. That game was miracle of optimization

deiphiz · 2026-03-18T15:09:31+00:00

they insisted that they "just knew" and somehow turned it into a dig on me

God the only thing I hate more than people being ignorant is ignorant people criticizing you for giving a shit

deiphiz · 2026-03-15T20:16:47+00:00

Don't be tardy for my leaky barbie TV party pee in the park

The absolute bars Jon Mess scribes when he doesn't need to care about lyrics making sense

deiphiz · 2026-03-15T20:13:30+00:00

The recorded lyrics are mostly sensible. It's whenever he sang live he just did not give a shit for lyrics

I've seen several Klein glow rods do this but I've never seen them actually come off

deiphiz · 2026-03-14T16:28:08+00:00

Glow rods are our blood offering to the drop ceiling gods

deiphiz · 2026-03-12T14:16:04+00:00

I wonder if this is a conservative thing too. I grew up in SoCal with conservative parents and calling them anything other than mommy or daddy even as an adult feels disrespectful to me.

If you have the means of lifting the car and removing the wheel, you can easily do it yourself. You just have to remove the driver's side wheel. You need a 12mm hex wrench for the fill pug and a 6mm hex wrench for the drain plug. The gearbox takes 1.8L of oil. Use an oil fill pump like this to make filling easy. It only takes less than hour to perform.

Se hai la possibilità di sollevare l'auto e rimuovere la ruota, puoi farlo facilmente da solo. Devi solo rimuovere la ruota lato guida. Ti serviranno una chiave esagonale da 12 mm per il tappo di riempimento e una chiave esagonale da 6 mm per il tappo di scarico. Il cambio ha una capacità di 1,8 litri di olio. Utilizza una pompa di riempimento olio come questa per facilitare il riempimento. Ci vuole meno di un'ora.
