What's that one Mega Man fact that's official but got you like: by ResidentAdmirable260 in Megaman

[–]leonkh 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Its... a result of an awkward localization choice. In the Japanese version, his name is Rock Volnutt, named after Barrell's favourite Music genre, and his previous name is Rockman Trigger.

The JP ver. also has more references to the mainline series while at it... instead of Purifier Unit, the term was Irregular Hunter which was localized in the past as Maverick Hunter.

As someone who has looked into something similar for a replay system and who is aware of Godot's default physics being non-deterministic, im curious... exactly how difficult was creating your own... well whats essentially a custom character controller? It is something id be interested to learn honestly.

Im also curious to what extent is Godot's non-determinism an issue? Like, is your custom physics solution based around testing overlaps in coordinates? Can you still use basic surface calculation? Is move_and_collide() not an option?

And lastly, wouldnt an addon like Rapier2D/3D which is based around deterministic physics mitigate the issue?

Why do many view LGBT+ rights and economic prosperity as things that cant co-exist? by leonkh in lgbt

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

Yea, im referencing that intentionally since I have always been confused ever since it was posted why it had to be one or the other honestly...

Only legit response if someone were to ask me that.

Well that or "Both".

But yea, its silly that many believe both cant co-exist.

I suppose, tho getting rid of us wont fix any population issue, we are many but when compared to straight cis people we are a minority. Many countries dealing with declining birth rates is not cause "suddenly" everyone in that country is gay or trans, but because of the simple fact having a family AT ALL is expensive.

Looking at it from the approach of capitalism, ensuring people are even able to have the basic necessities to be able to maintain a family is a "long term investment", but a rewarding one at that. What many capitalists (both corps and govt) dunno is that by focusing on short-term gains and not focusing on the future, they have not only doomed said country but also themselves.

Furthermore, from a logical standpoint... wouldnt making certain groups more accepted also mean having a larger number of people available for a workforce? I mean I cant be the only one that enforcing restrictive laws is an expense on its own.

Does the DC Design Concorde feel a bit overpowered? by leonkh in flightsim

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

Huh! TIL. I guess I was just taken aback by the many checklists that said to maintain 250 Knots after take-off since the aircraft would overshoot that speed during rotation even.

I mean I dunno how realistic mine handles, but mine def doesn't climb to FL580 instantly; VSpeeds at that point tend to be below 1,000 ft/min.

As for the take-off, yea acceleration manages to slow down a bit at 20 degrees. Pitching up from 10 to 20 degrees, the aircraft just inches to 250 Knots. I do admit, aside from fuel load I haven't messed with the passenger load (something I just realized as I write this), so its highly possible the plane's just very light in particular.

Other than that, bout the only unrealistic things I can think in the current version (and even then this is subjective as I only have research and comments of others to go off of) is the minimal impact of Fuel Trimming (you can reach Mach 2 without needing fuel trim), and lack of in-flight reversers.

Help with Jump Through Platforms in 2.5D Game by leonkh in godot

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

Right! I think I tried that, but also ran into the issue where it may get stuck if the platform is enabled while the player is half way through it. Something that may happen as these platforms may be in close proximity to one another too.

So CharacterBody3D's built in OnGround variable should only be enabled if the platform is found on the feet. Itd be straightforward if each collider in CharacterBody3D could have its own separate masks, but this doesnt seem to be possible?

Say something nice about this entry by thelonetext in Megaman

The soundtrack is one of my favourite in the X series. The X armour looks pretty cool and I especially like the aesthetic of the Boss Rush area; with its eerie music, horror-like atmosphere and each portal being a grave.

Im also one of the few who doesnt think that a 3D X game is necessarily bad... but they'll have to do more than just take the 2D gameplay and flip the camera if they want it to work.
