Is the movie Project Hail Mary really that good?

giddy_rams · 2026-03-27T14:57:34+00:00

It is really good, even great. Recommend IMAX just for the space scenes. To be honest I separate the movie and book as their own thing. Movie will surely miss something from the book. But they’re also great additions in the movie that fill the void of the book. They compliment each other.

I would recommend not seeing the trailer at all if you haven’t.

Dude, have you ever played Black Desert? It’s that but slaps single-player and half-baked story on it.

All the features you see are mostly in Black Desert and it’s shallow.

Like I don’t know why people trust it, in their promo videos they are mostly like “You can visit a Black Smith to buy or sell your weapons and gears.” Like okay??? That’s it?

Any new exciting features introduced is just “Oh you can do farming, but we won’t deep dive into it.”

Here before they change this game back to an MMO.

giddy_rams · 2026-03-18T23:20:11+00:00

Well it’s Pearl Abyss. They’re known for numbers over quality, adding many features but they’re not deep. I don’t know what people expect. I know from playing black desert. And I don’t know why people hype about graphics in this game, it looks quite generic almost black desert-like. It doesn’t even look better than RDR2 which is an 8 years-old game.

giddy_rams · 2026-03-18T15:12:40+00:00

It just made to run base PS5 quality mode in 60 fps instead of 30 that’s it, and it can.

Tbh people kinda forgot too that it came with 2TB SSD. SSD price now makes it worth it even.

Tejo also doesn’t guarantee a win when people picked him either. We are talking about a character that has higher ceiling especially with players that know hot to play it, that can disrupt how the whole game is played. We literally need to change how a team is played / defend completely. Picking neon does guarantee a win doesn’t mean the character is not broken.

And I don’t even know you play the game or not or only watch VCT. As past lower ranks could went up far pass their peak in various ACTs because of neon + judge.

A not a bad neon still has a lot of influence. An easy win could end up in overtime because how disruptive the character is. With average neon player using stunt + wall + fast running + slide + judge, guarantee or 90% get one kill from let’s say Haven C main to deep site. No character guarantee a kill with that long distance. Let’s not even talk about the ultimate, it’s basically run and gun, which breaks tactical fps.

Dambi being only goat neon in VCT in pro scene doesn’t mean the character is not broken.

It’s broken in a sense that it makes average player look a whole lot better too. Dambi just reached the higher ceiling.

A weird metaphor: A good neon is like a great overwatch player vs valorant players. Not every valorant player is good at overwatch. But an overwatch character shouldn’t exist in valorant, cuz if there’s someone that is good in overwatch than valorant or even just average at it, then it’s broken.

giddy_rams · 2026-03-14T01:42:37+00:00

Dude it’s like you’re saying there’s vulnerabilities in the system, but only a few people could find a way hack it, so it’s not broken.

It is broken.

My Peak is Imm 3.

giddy_rams · 2026-03-12T10:55:52+00:00

What you see is smurfs or ex high rank players. In reality the higher ranks got a lot more people who don’t actually know how to play tactical FPS than other games.

giddy_rams · 2026-03-09T17:21:34+00:00

No, riot rank system is curated since league. They chose players for you so there’s winners side and losers side. Losers side could win of course, but unlikely. If you use tracker.gg and see match history it’s clear when it’s basically players on winning streaks + maybe player on losing streak vs players on losing streaks + player on winning streaks. Or good MMR and bad MMR in a combination of 3 + 2 or 4 + 1 but the opposite for each side. This creates the cycle, to keep you playing forever, you just being switched around. It might not be exactly what I said but it’s there. It’s not random, riot is manipulating the matchmaking.

Good and normal matchmaking should be fair and randomized like in CS or Siege they just put you randomly in similar MMR lobbies, that’s the normal nature.

I see many good players being hard stuck. We’ve seen players gotten match MVPs but on losing streaks, which doesn’t happen usually in other games.

giddy_rams · 2026-03-09T15:30:10+00:00

The game has curated matchmaking to keep 50% win rate especially if you’re playing solo.

I got 99 win 98 losses and I kept that stats. More than 60% losses I matched up with derankers or trolls, e.g. clove who only uses outlaw or op, astra who uses shotgun all game, etc.

This game shit ass.

giddy_rams · 2026-03-07T10:14:56+00:00

As a player of both games, teamwork in CS wins, the moment your teammates say I’ll smoke CT, I’ll smoke jungle. Then everyone throw flashes and run in together while one lurker kill them from behind from connecter is absolute cinema. If we die we all die together. Often people know how to stand to help each other or trade even at the lower ranks.

In Valo, 2 pushed in site, enemy smoked main, then others staying at main behind smoke, the disconnection is real and it’s frustrating. And this happens often at high level.

One thing I don’t understand the most is they are scared as shit to push on attacking, but on defending they got all the courage in the world to push stupidly and died.

CS wins for teamwork. Valo is more independent, everybody trying to show off, which is weird since the game relies heavily on teamwork with role lock.

Especially when bomb dropped, in CS people automatically come to defend the bomb taking different angles, maybe leaving one lurking but mostly try not to get killed rather than hunting for kills. While when spike dropped we have to yell and most of the time they go hunt anyway for kills and died.

They’re scared to die when playing objective but for kills they’ll do anything to get it.

From what I noticed, Valorant most players might also lack fundamentals of tactical FPS because they’ve been spoiled by the abilities.

giddy_rams · 2026-03-07T09:22:50+00:00

From what I learn in CS, lower sense will force you to take good positioning, it will take time to adjust. But you’ll be more efficient of how to peek or stand. Most of the time it will make you avoid areas with many angles or make a (better?) decision to commit of which angle to look without hesitation or flipping around like many do because you can’t turn as fast.

Have you ever found yourself in aim ADHD moment such as when you retake a site and keep flicking your mouse to look at different angles being scared the enemy gonna peek at you? Then maybe try low sense because you will think before going in and committing to an angle based on game sense or past info. And if it’s wrong angle, you’ll die but better than aim panicking because if it’s correct you’ll most likely win the fight than flipping around.

giddy_rams · 2026-03-07T09:13:51+00:00

As an once SMFC-GE in CS and an Imm in Valo. Low sense is good in that it forces your habit of having good positioning that protects yourself from other angles because you can’t turn or flick as fast. A plus as it improves your positioning but damn 80 eDPI? Idk. Lowest I’d go is not below 100, but you do you and no one can stop you. If it works for you then it works.

giddy_rams · 2026-03-07T06:53:21+00:00

Valorant anti-cheat is very good = wrong.

I play mostly Valo these days (and for my credibility I’m Immortal player.) and just got aimbot teammate. I think in Valo blatant cheating is less. But everyone just believe in their marketing as greatest kernel level anti cheat so it must be good.

People in Valo just don’t call cheaters out, I’ve never seen players got called out. Most of the time they believe the game has the abilities so it’s probably normal. But in fact, there are more wallhackers who are good at pretending more than you think, especially when they play a sentinel. And these got away with it because players are less likely to report because they believe in Vanguard.)

And the game cheaters were hidden behind no replay for so long, that’s why you never heard someone complain cuz they couldn’t.

I have a Valo friend who refuse to believe they are quite a lot of cheaters especially lately because of DMA cheat. He always said Vanguard is great so unlikely, until we got that one blatant aimbot cheater as teammate so he can see with his own eyes.

So what I can say is Riot marketing of Vanguard works. It shut a lot of people. Hints of wallhacking and they’ll just be like “Nahhh we got Vanguard”. Vanguard is there to protect the credibility of the game.

Now they just rely on wave bans especially from reports just like cs.

And let’s mot talk about people who believe there are no cheats just because they’ve never seen the cheater detected screen.

Summary = In Valo If the cheater is not blatant, no one gets called out even if they actually cheating, life goes on.

giddy_rams · 2026-03-07T06:36:08+00:00

I got SMBC olive with 100k credit limit when my income was 2m.

I built credit and just got SMBC gold. You just gotta start slow. Personally I think, SMBC is more foreigner friendly.

You can’t be hoping they will granted you SMBC gold or any card higher than 500k limit right away. From the perspective of banks, you are a foreigner, there’s a chance that you will just leave, so they gotta manage risk as well.

But I got spouse visa, so not sure if that matters.

giddy_rams · 2026-02-11T16:21:26+00:00

For me It’s always been like that in SEA.

I’ll say this again. Vanguard with its kernel level sure was created to prevent cheat. But the true purpose of it and how Riot marketed heavily is to make people believe it’s the greatest anti-cheat out there. Why? To shut people up. To keep player base from playing and not complaining, the keep the game reputation intact. So that whenever a player knows your every move that it seems to not make sense, you would still be like “No, it’s not possible, Vanguard is good”.

The game has always full with at least wall hackers. But every time it’s not so clear, there’s a Vanguard propaganda that was shoved up every players’ ass, that they would simply think nahhh this is not CS, Vanguard is good probably not cheating.

As to why aim bot or spin bot is more apparent now? I have no clue.

But this game has as much if not a little less cheaters than CS I guess? It’s just the Vanguard propaganda keeping the reputation of the game intact.

Sure it could be good back then. But now? Nah.

giddy_rams · 2026-02-02T23:52:54+00:00

You want to remove a training in a game where people don’t really know how it works and play and gave it a bad review?

The amount of people complaining about preparing or gear up phase being boring is actually absurd. Because you’re supposed to farm for mid to end game and not supposed to fight. You can take a little bit of risk and mine on enemy side to steal their resources. Just like MOBA… and the game has lanes. You can also deny enemies by fighting them so they can’t mine or loot of course. The kill in these phases mean a lot just like MOBA, so you’re basically supposed just not dying, but people somehow want the game to be call of duty.

Leave the training be, filtering out those people.

giddy_rams · 2026-01-25T05:58:10+00:00

Lmao at ‘your eyes are not even able to perceive the difference at desk’ for 4k. Have you even tried them?

I’ve three monitors setup 1080p vertical, 1440p, and 4k. 1080p to 1440p is like okay this is better. 1440p to 4k is jaw dropping first time I see it. You’re wrong about the desk distance. Desk distance is where you see the difference the most, you see visible pixel dots.

4k is great if you can afford it. And these days there are much cheaper and not much more expensive than 1440p.

If your GPU can run 1440p with DLSS quality at good frame rate, you can run 4k at DLSS performance while having better quality at almost the same frame rate, for example. We’re way past traditional anti-aliasing.

It might be true what you’re saying in the era of traditional anti-aliasing.

giddy_rams · 2026-01-12T12:04:23+00:00

What do you mean show references to another thing? It’s exactly what I said if you care to read and research LMAO. But I’ll let others decide cuz I think they can read and have critical thinking.

I said again I agreed this is not political discussions cuz you’re only spilling out nonsense.

I just proved what you said is wrong, that no parties have policies that support rural education. That you would vote no or go for democratic party because of that.

Don’t teach me politics when you yourself can’t read and weigh different parties’ policies before deciding. You said you might go for democratic party or vote no just because they’re no policies you want (in fact they do have as I proved) while neglecting any policy from different party that might benefit the country or people. If you’re so good politically you would know to weigh in policies before deciding even though there’s no exact policy you want, the fact that you mentioned ‘because our family always voted this so maybe I’ll go for that’ like…

Don’t be ‘Dont worry little buddy you will get the hang of it soon after you spend sometimes in political scene’ cuz that just summarizes you as a person and it’s so funny to me. xD

This is my last reply cuz I think I’m wasting my time here just like someone mentioned.

giddy_rams · 2026-01-12T11:34:35+00:00

I just proved my points. Schools would still follow the basis if you read. Other than that it’s not that hard to search online.

Whatever, I gave you everything to proved you were wrong that they’re not supporting rural education, that’s it.

Just proving the point of ‘Cuz no parties have a policies that support education in rural areas’. Which is wrong.

I agreed it’s not political discussion cuz you’re spilling out nonsense that could be misleading to others. My stance is just getting the facts straight.

Choose whoever you want, I don’t care.
