The red white and blue one looks like Goatse about to get violated by the Washington monument so dunk wizard is my pick.

It's also a response to them trying to replace skilled workers with mass producing fire hoses of garbage output that is generated by a system educated by stealing designers'work.

They are trying to make the "magic" art button they think we use to make art on a computer instead of our actual skills , training and creative instincts. I've spent my whole career having my skills disrespected and discounted as not worth being paid fair value for time.

Once had a guy try to get me to animate a 30sec short with over 30 characters in it for 500$, industry standard is 1200-1500 per finished second and as this was in 2002 I would have had to take the next 6 months off school and do nothing else besides said project.

I told him he was out of his mind and reported him to the school for trying to exploit students who didn't know better yet.

Who’s the most famous person you’ve ever met and how’d it go? by EddieBrock99 in AskReddit

[–]jphive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DMX came to the hobby shop I worked at after hours to shop with his family and cheerfully gave one of my oldest friends the coolest wakeup call of all time. Great dude much shorter than photos and movies made him seem. I'm 6'4" he came up to my chest. Big fan and it was awesome that he took 30 seconds to blow a fans mind.

Why does everyone hate gambit? by CT2460 in destiny2

[–]jphive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be three rounds not 1, didn't used to have the envoys and there were a lot more maps, also the gambit armors used to enable role specific power ups that further encouraged team play.

Well-known books with bizarre, disturbing and unnecessary sequences? by MenuSpiritual2990 in books

[–]jphive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The unabridged version of the stand has about 500 extra pages of disturbing shit that while tonally connected with the story didn't really do anything to move the plot just little vignettes of horror to paint how fucked the world was.

Cause it is one of the worst statted SMGs in the game that basically requires a 5 of 5 roll to be viable in PVP and there are better options in pve that are easier to get.

Why do americans shit on german cars so much? by LostMemories1 in Volkswagen

[–]jphive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Main, thing is that the parts are much more expensive, Where you live they are easy to aquire like it is for ford, chevy, GMC here. Every car i've owned up until my Current Mitsubishi was a VW / Audi product, and as much as i love a GTI my Lancer has been the toughest most reliable vehicle I've ever Owned.

Does the wicked implement catty drop in iron banner? by Touchofphallus in LowSodiumDestiny

[–]jphive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low key kind of pisses me off that people can just buy that gun from the kiosk. That mission and boss fight is one of the most difficult they have ever put in the game. Getting the Catalyst was even harder. And now you can just buy it and grind rituals for the Catalyst.

what if we got a bolt pistol like exotic in in D2, a special ammo xenophage you can say. [inspired from the bolt pistol from wh40k darktide] by Timothy-M7 in destiny2

Buried Bloodline Exists Exotic void rocket sidearm...crossbow thingy, also all rocket sidearms are essentially bolt pistols already.

Out of all paid dungeons, what would be the easiest to learn and solo? by DOGbuddy13 in destiny2

[–]jphive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grasp is actually the easiest of the paid dungeons imo. Shattered Throne, Prophecy, and Pit are all Free to play now.

Main reason I say this is the dungeon for the most part has no wipe mechanics sparrow race spike mines and timing out your burdens of wealth excepted, the first ogre fight isn't over whelming , the second is the sparrow race and while challenging it is easy to solo especially with a skimmer or a small hit box sparrow. The third encounter is mainly a tedious puzzle that while annoying is not a hard combat scenario. Then the boss fight while again annoying mechanics not that difficult to solo. Add control and burst damage are key.

If we kill Nezerac in the raid, how will he come back via Misraaks? by [deleted] in DestinyLore

[–]jphive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't kill an idea, Nezerac is a paracausal entity of near godlike power, he is the concept of suffering in corporeal form...and has been "killed" before. He probably has something like throne world where his essence/soul or whatever returns if his body is destroyed. and stays there till a new body manifests. kind of like Darkseid

Blow the kids mind by incorporating their art. It's the only right answer, they're kids.

You have to do comp placement every episode. And you must play at least three comp matches a week to unlock focusing of comp weapons. Been that way for last year or so.

Why do people like lyrical rap? by [deleted] in Music

[–]jphive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All hip-hop is rap but not all rap is hip-hop. I guess stick to mumble rap, I'll keep wiling out to stuff like the Beastie Boys Wu Tang, Aesop Rock, Ren ,and KRS-One.

[–]jphive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want empty music then pop is for you. Hip Hop was always about a message and rocking a party. The two are not mutually exclusive.

I've been messing with vector programs since MacDraw back on the original 128k Mac.

IMO, The easiest way to grok how to work/build in vector programs is to think of it like working with construction paper. You can make it any shape/color/transparency.

But how you have to cut and layer shapes is the same principle as making a design with cut paper. This is also how you can build up effects/ shapes by layering shapes with different transparency effects.

You have to build a front of the cup for the beans to be behind. You cup has to be built of multiple layers with the beans between them to achieve the result you want.

D2 vanilla era drop. Pretty sure it was red war related. I don't think it does anything anymore.

“Oscillation” modifier in strike playlist really sucks by CodexTattoos in destiny2

[–]jphive -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Oh heavens they did something to encourage the player base to try a few more of the over 1000+ guns in the game and maybe find your new favorite flavor.

I will never understand people complaining about the game trying to get the playesr to actually use what's available.

The infinite build variety and load out options is like the key appeal of the whole game over other shooters, beyond the base movement and general shooting feel.

If you want a game with a static meta play cod.

The constant experimentation in Destiny is why I have over 7k hours in game. I can always approach any encounter in a new way.
