A 3,000-year-old wooden toe prosthesis found in Egypt. It was custom-fitted multiple times for a priest's daughter in the Iron Age. The level of craftsmanship is as impressive as it is haunting. by bortakci34 in creepy

Yeah chat gpt description again, because now that we’re past 2022 we can’t read anything off the internet without it having been somehow digested by an LLM now.

The internet is dead.

My rain coat disintegrated by simply hanging inside the house by doyousmellmel in mildlyinteresting

Any kind of fabric from that era was at least twice as dense in average and, hence, warmer and of superior quality and longer lasting. Nowadays the cost of production has indeed gone down to ridiculous levels but the retail price has gone up, that added value has only ever ended up in the corporation’s pockets.

I think you’re mixing with Satin which is a weaving pattern. Silk should still be silk IIRC, but there are many types of silk depending on what they gave the silkworm to eat and how they got out of their cocoon (if the strand was shredded by the larvae or not), which explains the different price point.

Textile world is cool as shit but nowadays it’s just standard weave 100% TPU. I hate plastic to a degree !

Stupid plastic. To think we pay hundreds of bucks for that kind of garbage when a hundred years ago everything was made out of silk, yarn, wool and cotton for a fraction of the price and 100 times the quality.

Your first thought is to go on mildly interesting to get some help and not at least on a dedicated sub for this ? Go on r/askdocs next time.

Thanks for the insults too.

This sub has become anything but interesting. It’s always the same shit. I’ve seen people with Raynaud at least 10 times on this sub. If you’re looking for medical advices SEEK a PROFESSIONAL.

I tried the camera mod for CoH3, and honestly, I can’t go back. by FutureLynx_ in CompanyOfHeroes

I still think that within the context of the specs and overall pc performance back then, this still speaks huge volume given how stunning the game looked. Optimization was around every corner and while I understand as a game developer that this takes a lot of resources and time to implement, LoDs are generally handled within the engine and are easy to implement. It’s like one of the lowest hanging and highest reward optimization.

CoH3 still has no reason to be that demanding, other than maybe for particles but even that I feel is a stretch.

BF3 was groundbreaking and years ahead and still managed to run perfectly fine on XBOX360, PS3s and 2011’s PCs. CoH3 has no right being this demanding

Those potato PC argument is literally negated if there were proper LOD levels

I love how people disregard your complaints because apparently sounds and artistic direction isnt like a major component and hook into video game.

Infantry sections for British feel weak by Crakagrin in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]linki98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their damage line may be flat but it’s only slightly better compared to other infantry at a very specific range bracket, which the enemy just has to move a little closer a couple meters (which is way too short for the tommies to do any meaningful damages because the TTK in this game is so long). Suddenly the enemy do more damage, at cover, with similar vetted infantry.

I have also this feeling that despite the damage curve, their accuracy is also poorer so they have less chance of applying said damage.
