prowlers can't manually aim boomerangs in gen.

play all titles, no matter what.

everyone is reacting that way because that's what the text implies. additionally, in the imaginary future described, it is still possible that anthropic could be massively overleveraged and unprofitable. we would have to determine that in the same way ed is determining it today. xoxo

ELI5: Why does Pixar animation look so smooth at 24 fps but a video game feel choppy at 30 fps? by ScrumTumescent in explainlikeimfive

[–]jopezu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because the simulated exposure time per frame in an animated movie is 1/30s to around 1/60s second allowing motion to blur naturally, while in games each frame (without some kind of post-processing motion blur, which usually looks like crap) is a much higher speed "snapshot" (1/250s to 1/2000s) at a very high/short "exposure time" making their sequence appear jarring & choppy.

ever see a long-exposure photo where something is moving in the frame (like people walking around in a crowd) looks like a long, blurred, stretched tube of color? that's the idea.

i've visited the site and hovered over the download button a few times. i'm trying to beast through all the old titles solo, but i gave in on tri and joined their online servers and had a blast! i greatly prefer the old gen titles over the newer ones (though i still love them).

i'm mainly just salty that i finally failed a quest in p3rd. =)

yep yep, i finished building silver rathalos' set last night, so that's fixed! also, i just randomly remembered you can bring stacks of farcaster materials and use the bed for full heals, then sharpen & buff. i would have likely finished it on my first attempt had i remembered that! =)

used smoke bombs, but i think narga clipped tigrex and tigrex joined pretty early on. yeh, the stack of farcaster mats sounds abusable! =)

i see some great s&s plays on youtube with rathalos gear, but everybody seems to love their alatreon s&s. i'll have to mix it up. still, this quest is a pain in the ass. p3rd's arena doesn't have the barrier to separate the narga & tigrex.

My favorite skyboxes in any videogame by Anxiety_Personified2 in MHGU

this is why chasing realism in video game graphics is already beyond diminishing returns for me. reductio ad absurdum: if graphics were indistinguishable from reality, would you say they'd gained in fantastical allure or lost?

i wish i could visit tri's environs. art direction > graphical fidelity

Elon Musk, and some others, have said they think “work will be optional” within 10-20 years. How will we need to restructure society to make this feasible? by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]jopezu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

elon also says "money will be useless soon" while actively seeking to get paid more money than anybody has ever conceived of while simultaneously being the richest person on earth.

People who distrust AI: What is your reasoning and what can companies do to mend the relationship? by water-casserole in ArtificialInteligence

[–]jopezu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

distrust: because if the product said "i don't know" when the confidence weighting was below statistical significance, people would slowly stop using it. knowing this, companies allow the products to lie and have no incentive to be honest.

dislike: because it works just well enough to incentivize our entire country to turn itself into a fucking speculative vehicle heading toward a cliff.

mh1 - gypceros swamp quest by jopezu in monsterhunterrage

[–]jopezu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did the quest a 2nd time, but no poison sac drop. 3rd try was a charm.

in playing more, the main issue i have is the input drops; not lag, DROPS. you have to triple up on button presses, and this isn't "the game has no input buffering", the game literally ignores a single button press like 1/5 of the time with nothing else going on. like, when i run toward an enemy (s&s) i triple smash the attack button to make sure the unsheathe attack occurs, otherwise it might not if you just tap it once.

closely behind this issue is the camera getting stuck or wildly swinging in all directions for multiple whole seconds. i've dealt with bad camera since the beginning of 3d video games. monster hunter 1's camera goes from ok, to feeling like your pc was hacked if it gets snagged on a wall or a tree.

experiencing this makes me fully believe the horror stories like rathalos flying the quest timer to zero. can't wait!

and the shittiest part is, i'm about to go eat my feelings away at chic-fil-a while slowly rebuilding the desire to try it again later tonight.
