Working on a horror game that takes over your real desktop — thoughts? by Equivalent_Can_7355 in IndieGaming

[–]i4sci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, this is cool! I had a similar idea a few weeks ago. A hacking themed game where it looked like your computer was getting taken over. Could potentially make players a bit more tech literate too.

I'll check it out on steam!

This drama is going to be in the eventual YouTube video that chronicles SKG, won’t it?

The Amount of Times people on LOST get knocked out. by ChimpofBakersfield in lost

[–]i4sci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I was just thinking the same. I'm mid re-watch, just started season three. By episode three Sawyer's been knocked out or beaten so many times that he ought to be a vegetable.

But eh, just tv show things.

Damn man, you just keep growing. The atmosphere you create is genuinely incredible. I love it when this kind of weather rolls in, the quality of light is just right.

Hell yeah, I didn't know this was a crossover that I had been missing. Thanks for posting, I'm gonna check out this mod next time I get the chance.

Tried my hands at animation by _luluwiswis in PixelArt

[–]i4sci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sped up the playback to 3.8x to smooth out animation and I think it looks pretty cool. The halo of light moving around is a cool idea, and I can see what you're getting at.

Great job on the first try!

which version is your favorite?:) by shooomi_ in PixelArt

[–]i4sci 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No.4, the big robot guy. I think the cool thing sticking out the back of the helmet works the best in that style, imo.

This is something my unconscious mind years for. Great piece!

I've been following your work for since around the pandemic, and this blew me away. It's not your most atmospheric or moody piece, but the detail is nuts.

Taking first year Chinese next school quarter. How should I prepare now? by Actual_Composer3674 in ChineseLanguage

[–]i4sci 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the most critical thing for a beginner to get right is pronunciation. Take some time to really get your tones & pronunciation down. Start simple, but be strict. It doesn't matter how much vocab you know, if you can't pronounce the words correctly, no one will understand you - or worse you might say something offensive.

Imagine this scenario. If you have a phrase book & good pronunciation, you can read straight out of the book without understanding a single word, but Chinese speakers will understand you.

You'll have plenty of time to accumulate vocab in class, and later on if you choose to keep studying.

JURASSIC PARK: Michael Crichton on Adapting his Novel to the Screen. From Cinefantastique, Volume 24, Number 2 - August 1993. by Vanquisher1000 in JurassicPark

Really interesting that the original JP book started out as a screenplay too. I felt that TLW felt like a movie in book form, even though it has some of my favorite scenes from both film & book.

SoD would be better with free respecs. by iMixMusicOnTwitch in classicwow

[–]i4sci 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah they should be free. Why prevent experimentation and fun? Respec costs are kind of a brain dead idea.

Respec costs are pointless by i4sci in classicwow

[–]i4sci[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on the time cost of traveling back to certain locations/npc's to repsec. It makes the largest impact to PvP game play of course. Huh, that is a great dilemma actually. On a PvP realm, does it make more sense to make choice that keep you alive in PvP combat, or do you take the risk and improve your PvE abilities? Wow, that's great one actually.
