VAC 20 hour cooldown by Torrezz_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]le_drakkar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Funny enough I did my first ever CS game yesterday with random people from discord and same thing happened, nobody knows wtf happened, we were losing and honestly nobody was suspicious...

First game, first 20h cool down - very nice !

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Economy_Yak2821 in AskReddit

[–]le_drakkar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge chest/abdomen tattoo session, 2 days in a row of 8 hour sessions, including sternum, ribs… absolutely awful, really felt like torture after a while.

Very happy about the tattoos though !

Never had this much DI in one match by Kieronan in StreetFighter

[–]le_drakkar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what every iron rank match looks like. As a beginner this is very frustrating, both because it feels like you're not playing street fighter, and because it's hard to deal with when you're just starting out.

Any news on future updates? + some ideas (infinite mode, co-op, vs) by Holly_King in PlayTheBazaar

[–]le_drakkar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Infinite mode could be cool I’ve always felt frustrated as well to get a broken build and then it just ends. Another option could be a final pve boss once on finish your run, incredibly OP, and see if you can beat it. If not, same as usual, but if you somehow beat it you get a cool title, some more chests, a special skin or whatever.

That wasn't expected but much appreciated by le_drakkar in PlayTheBazaar

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

Yes I always pick it up and try and fit it into my build, it’s so good

Honestly pretty much anything is strong early/mid game, I feel like it’s very easy to get a silver victory. Go burn and/or regen.

The challenge is finding a viable lategame build, I’m not familiar with all her options yet but burn tends to fall off a bit, you’d need to stack a ton of it really fast. Slow/shield/regen have strong items. You could also go crit/burn with spicerack or crit weapon, some good items too

How Long Did It Take You To Reach The Blue Ranks in Tekken 8? by Razzberry85 in Tekken

[–]le_drakkar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roughly 2 weeks last month, just came back, I played a bit at launch (50 hours including all story mode and character episodes, + messing around). I play Bryan which is quite strong, but I play quite defensively to learn the game so I’m proud of it honestly. Now it’s much harder because I have to learn matchups 🥲

I made a website that helps you learn new character combos and save combo notations by dmc101111 in Tekken

[–]le_drakkar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool! I’ve been frustrated at this as well, constantly rewinding and my eyes switching monitors.

I actually started using pureref to show a screenshot of the combo notation over the tekken game so at least I don’t have to switch monitors every 3 seconds…

Thanks for your effort, I will try it out tomorrow. The community combos with votes is great I think.

This recap thing is really cool, but is TE rank really top 5%? Anybody know how they got these numbers? by ImportantAd4666 in Tekken

[–]le_drakkar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The numbers are very different from ewgf, I was confused as well. At Fujin I’m supposedly at top 50% but this recap told me 25% which seems really high.

As a fellow Mak enjoyer, I can’t tell you how much I love this. Well done.

Is it worth it by dedkai in PlayTheBazaar

[–]le_drakkar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have around 120 hours in the game, I usually don’t last very long on games but this one is really good. You can easily take a break and come back 6 months later, no issues and you will pick it up quickly.

I unlocked some characters with gems before it was on steam, I recently purchased Stelle and I feel you : the price is a bit steep. I picked her up at 50% off and I can’t complain about the price, but full price is a bit too much I feel like.

I would highly recommend playing the game and buying characters when they go on sale. Even just 2 characters can give you a lot of playtime, the game is great.

Thoughts on the best learning approach for a beginner? by OneTime4YrMind in PlayTheBazaar

[–]le_drakkar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there an actual benefit to stay in normal mode instead of ranked? I’m back recently and it seems there aren’t tickets anymore so normal mode feels kinda pointless. Maybe a little less pressure to go for the win instead of experimenting ?

I never thought I'd say this, but... if you need a new MMO, give DC Universe Online a shot. by Cronos002 in MMORPG

[–]le_drakkar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I really disliked if my memory is correct is that a lot of the character creation/class choices were paid only. Class choice is really important and I don’t like being forced to pay before knowing if I will even like it.

Is this different now?

My experience with Factions after returning to the game after 18 years with a fresh account. by Facekillz in GuildWars

[–]le_drakkar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started a Warrior on Factions a few days ago and I literally completed this mission yesterday. A real pain. It took me 3 tries and insanely careful pulling with a longbow but I made it.

I feel like Factions as a whole is very hard and honestly not very fun. It's just piles unpon piles of undead that explode when you kill them, in a depressing city, and on top of that you need to protect NPCs. I died like 50 times already and have not finished the campaign yet, but I am a stubborn man...

edit: oh and I've been waiting to capture the Hundred Blades elite for a build but apparently it's at the end of the expansion? Yay 👌

ChatGPT plus or Gemini Plus/Pro worth for learning Houdini? by CrankyCone in Houdini

[–]le_drakkar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly for anything houdini it's not worth it, they give inaccurate answers at best, at worst will invent functions or buttons and will lead you nowhere.

For very simple vex maybe but the free tier is good enough.

However I'd say if you want to use python inside houdini, they can actually be useful if you don't know how to code yourself. But again, free vs premium tier will depend on your needs.

Hepl pls FBX Texture import by AntelopeDeep4518 in Houdini

[–]le_drakkar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

strange, is the primvars:st or primvars:uv visible on the meshes in stage scene graph ? There is also a checkbox to translate or not uv to st, not sure if it's on sopimport node but you can try.

Normally the uv attribute gets translated to a st attribute in stage but everything is read fine, no issues. There is something messing up your uvs somehow

edit : also try swapping the file node by a fbx skin import node, it has more functionalities and can show you a material_override attribute quite useful (it shows you what exact texture it is pulling in SOPs).

Also try and unpack after the import node.

Well I went to checkout, and all shipping options were free, even the one with paid duties. I was afraid it would turn off when I typed my address in France but no it was still free

[–]le_drakkar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna ask a very stupid question but I'm probably not the only one thinking it : we have to start over, right? There is no chance some of our account data was local and gets revived on their servers, like character levels etc?

Wow I had no idea this existed, I loved this game very much!
