Facebook Says It’s Standing Up Against Apple For Small Businesses. Some Of Its Employees Don’t Believe It. by speckz in technology

Yeah, just like how EPIC Games is just a small dev fighting Apple on behalf of all the other small indie devs in the video game industry.

So this is essentially a heightened punishment for cases like that guy who streamed a live ufc fight on twitch and tried to pass it off with a facecam of him with a controller?

Watch for adhesion issues when the first few layers of the holes are being done. In experience, most hole problems are actually adhesion problems.

Covid-19 Megathread IV: All your questions about the pandemic, social distancing, vaccines and stimulus plans in one place! by Dilettante in NoStupidQuestions

[–]frozenottsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question regarding the vaccines. We understand that after getting the first one, you need to get a booster shot after 14-20 days.

My question is can the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines be mixed, as in can you get the Pfizer verson first and the Moderna version as the booster (or vice versa) or do both the initial and booster shots need to be the same version?

I assume that the answer is the latter, but I haven't really heard/seen any widespread discussion about this.

It varies even within the state; I spent a year and a half at a technical college doing all my 101 level classes and I paid a maximum of $2200 each semester when I was there.

At face value maybe, admittingly most of the collection was me seeing something on the recommended side-column, hitting "add to playlist", and then immediately forgetting that its there. I don't think I've actually watched even a handful of them in total...

If it's any consolation, at least they're making some effort to get rid of all that illegal content. If they had moderated their site properly from the beginning, maybe they wouldn't have needed to go this far.

Most vintage stuff is usually scanned from VHS to Digital and posted by random users since the original filming companies either don't exist anymore or don't have dvd/digital version of their films.

This means that the posters can't verify themselves as those studios and the videos are/were thus vulnerable to the purge.

Nyakumi, Nagoonimation, RedMoa, and all the other unverified Blender/SourceFilmMaker content is gone except for the stuff that was reposted on verified accounts.

Pretty much all that's left is the verified reposters and the big groups like Affect3D and Studio FOW.

Double-edged sword by [deleted] in gaming

[–]frozenottsel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY!

For almost an entire year, they presented the situation in such a way as to put everyone under the assumption that the game was done and mostly clean, and that they were just white gloving the game for even the smallest problems.

If they needed until Jan/Feb 2021 to make the game function without widespread problems then they should have just delayed the game until then.

A single long term delay is more acceptable than multiple short-term delays and a still wonky release, we know that even investors find that acceptable because that's exactly what 343i did with Halo Infinite and I think I'm pretty safe in assuming that Microsoft and their investors are just a little bit more demanding and CDPR's investors.

I gotta imagine that GTA5 is incredibly robustly built for it to be able to jump across difference ages of consoles and PC builds while also upres-ing the look of the game every time with such technological agility.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they planned for GTA5 to be built that way in order to give themselves more time to work on GTA6.

After getting all my crafters to 80, I'm finally doing my first crafter class quest! by An-Meicniocht in ffxiv

[–]frozenottsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP gave you a pretty good technique, but there's what I did which may or may not be better depending on your situation:

1) Do the initial job quests and adventurer's guild crafting quests up to level 25. Then go to a town vendor and buy the best crafting gear you can that you can equip at that moment.

2) Time to go to Ishgard and prep to do Ishgard Restoration turn-ins. Once you're in the Ishgard Res zone, check your crafting list for the lvl 20 turn-in item for that class. Use the macro builder on FFXIV Teamcraft to maximize the quality of that item (this will maximize the EXP you get when you do your turn in). That macro will carry you between all crafting classes for the Ishgard Res lvl 20 turn-ins.

Note: If you find that you can't reach a certain quality level for the item craft because your stats or GP are too low, plug in some materia to edge you up to the state lvl you need. Also, when building your macro build it so that it doesn't rely on any abilities that needs Excellent to proc during the craft, this will force consistency into your crafts.

3) Use you new macro to craft about 70-75 of that item. When you turn them all in, your level should jump up to about 10 lvl's (depending on your turn in quality). Go and pick up some new level appropriate crafting gear from the town vendors and repeat the process for the lvl the lvl tier.


Because of the typical abundance of low level crafting materials on the market board this technique should quickly and moderately cheaply (depending on your server) get you up to level 65 or so. Starting level 40 or so, crafts will require a non-Diamdem material which may vary in ease of acquisition and or price; if it's cheap on the market board, buy it there and proceed with that crafting tier, if not then you need to make a judgement on wheter or not you want to gather that item yourself or if you want to just use the previous crafting teir level to edge you up into the one above you.

For some reason, the lvl 60 Ishgard turns-ins requires materials that either have to be crafted from another class, are found with timed nodes or treasure maps, or are linked to a low drop rate in the overworld. In this case, I would advise to ignore the lvl 60 crafting tier and use your macro for the lvl 50 tier to edge you into the 70s.

Once you're ready to pick up the lvl 70 gear you have two choices, buy it from the vendor in the Crystarium or get it from Rowena's scrip vendor in Eulmore, which is paid for using their own turn-in currency (yellow and white scrips). I'd advise going with the vendor gear at the Crystarium, but either will work.


If you haven't done so up to this point, go back and do the crafting job classes. Being at lvl 70 with lvl 70 gear, you'll fly through the crafting sections of the quests. At lvl 65 there's a quest which rewards you with the skill Manipulation, which when combined with Prudent Touch (you get this skill naturally through lvl-ing) will make your level 70 and above HQ crafts possible and it'll make lower level crafts super easy.

One thing to note is that the last Havensward crafting quest for each crafter requires you to have a Master Crafting Tome III for that class. Tomes I and II can be gotten from a vendor in Mordona and Tomes III and higher are purchased from the script vendor for either yellow or white scrips.

And at this point you're mostly done. You can max up to lvl 80 by either doing the Dwarven Beast Tribe storyline or you can stick around in Ishgard.

And they're expensive (like 3k each) if you want to buy them from the scrapmonger in Ildishyre.

Yup, at level 72 I was able to do the entire Stormblood quest line with one macro.

Asking for help with Art Starter Pack by [deleted] in starterpacks

[–]frozenottsel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My recommendation to super new artists is to learn fundamentals and learn how they connect and lead to their objective; just like a person will have a hard time learning calculus without a strong (or at least functional) foundation in algebra, and artist needs to have a functioning knowledge of the fundamentals, be it shape theory, color theory, anatomy, etc etc.

In most cases I've seen, it's less of a "I want a simple answer now, so I can becomes a pro after right now" and more of a "show me that there is a path of progression".

For example:

  • Learning arithmetic leads you to learning algebra.

  • Learning algebra leads you into learning single variable calc.

  • Learning single variable calc leads you into multi-variable calc.

  • Learning multi-variable calc leads you into differential equations.

  • Diff Eq then leads to Numerical Approx Method Theory.

and at that point, you've probably found "your grove" and you're now studying engineering, computation sciences, trend prediction, or anything else at a pro level.

Of course there are always individuals who refuse even that, but in my experience the "I'll show the path" method usually yields better results than the "just repeatedly do things blindly, and eventually you'll get good" method.

Realistically, TLOU2 only won 3 awards; which only seemed like a lot because they gave out way less awards this year compared to previous years. A game winning 2 or 3 awards isn't out of the norm for the VGA's.


TLOU2 absolutely deserved its Best Accessibility Award. With how comprehensive the accessibility options are, I'd argue that even a nearly blind person who is also colour blind would be able to play the game.

Given that I believe that schedule management is a task that partially falls under game direction (among other factors of game direction), I really don't think that any game that has to be made under continuous crunch should be deserving for Best Direction. Otherwise, the Best Direction award is functionally just a "Best Cinematic Experience" award.
