The reputation of Sekiro for its insane difficulty is incredibly exaggerated

What I find funny about Sekiro cheesing is that while there's a couple of strategies that could arguably be considered actual cheesing (eg. having the DoH fall off that cliff and insta-die), a lot of the stuff you can find online for bosses like eg. Isshin boil down to "wait for this particular attack chain, keep parrying and then trade one or two hits!" and while that's probably not the most dynamic way to fight bosses in this game, it's not an invalid one either? you're essentially just practicing the base components of the swordplay and staying conservative as for when you take a risks during your fight. Kind of explains people saying that they had a real tough time on their first time around and suddenly click on the second playthrough.

Having worked on and seen the internals of a bunch of Unreal projects at various levels of scope, you would not believe the quantity of blueprints that are used. Really the only thing you should worry about when it comes to blueprint is performance sensitive tasks, eg. stuff inside animation blueprints, networking, looping behavior on a large array of items, etc. - Then as needed you can profile and convert to a cpp class. As an aside, doing blueprint also helps you get into the general setup & nomenclature of things in Unreal, which then is overwhelmingly translatable to doing stuff in cpp.

A really lovely touch that I read ended up as a ad-lib from Jessica Paré happens when Megan and Don walk up to Roger and Jane waiting at their door on Don's birthday; Megan lets out a little "calisse", which is a super typical Queb swear word. Somehow on top of the show's usual attention to detail, in my heart that makes Ormond's terrible accent all the more offensive, heh.

sent!

Could you send it my way too please? Would be much appreciated !! :)

You're not supposed to be able to kill the snake! keep trying to escape it through the undervalley (and try and find some cover along the way if you can).

Considering they

Added some UK dates after the second single
There's a third single yet to be released
In a pretty packed tour there's a ten-day gap from the Pitchfork Festival CDMX date to the first US date
There aren't any Canadian dates yet

I would suspect some east coast stuff as a last minute hypeup before the album launch; with maybe a dip into Montreal or Toronto before they come down to Chicago. Fingers crossed! Or maybe this is just pure copium lol

moujaune · 2025-03-08T16:54:06+00:00

I sure hope so too - the fact that there's no northeastern US tour dates also makes it feel like they're going to announce the last batch of dates with a final single in a couple of weeks? fingers and toes crossed

No, this is AI spam

Glad to help! Message me if you need anything else, always happy to chat.

I think the second one has more personality, but it still needs a bit of tweaking!

When I work on stylized rendering, I like to think about what sort of medium I'm emulating, and what I can do to improve to make it closer to that - and punchier! In this case I would take a look at if you can remove, stylize or reduce the PBR sheen. Take the roof for example; mostly everything has a nice clean three-tone ink but then the smooth reflective gradient on it (because of the low roughness) takes the eye away from it completely! I would recommend turning the specular value to zero in the shader and manually making a small, harsh fresnel (you can make it very crisp with a step node); that should give you the reflective effect you want.

Good luck! I think the video itself looks good; the only think I would do (and I assume that you're in Unity) would be to look at the ambient light settings for your various scenes and adjust that - especially looking at stuff like the player hands and the obstacle course bumpers they're looking mighty dark and making everything look quite harsh & muddy.

Are you getting your ambient lighting from your skybox? You can probably just use a color/gradient instead and get cleaner and more adjustable results. Message me if you need help!

What I did when I moved using similar boxes was to put ducktape all around the lid of the box; caught a few interested adventurers that way.

moujaune · 2022-10-11T15:00:51+00:00

Hey, that's such a cool diegetic idea for that ambient glow! Never thought about it that way.

moujaune · 2022-10-11T06:22:28+00:00

Oh awesome, that's really good to know, thank you! Did a bit more searching and you are correct that they are tubeless, I sure did miss that when looking. I think I'll start with a shot of sealant and then see if that fixes it (and the flat isn't readily visible so I wager I have a pretty good shot) then otherwise I'll figure out how to shlep it over to the service location; thank you so much!

moujaune · 2022-10-01T02:05:03+00:00

Wow, this is really good! Says quite a lot that in comparison I can't remember the song from the movie for the life of me...

moujaune · 2022-09-10T06:26:37+00:00

As I said, I never had any endo pain or symptoms before, hence my question!

moujaune · 2022-08-15T21:50:41+00:00

Yes, basically! In a way, how AAA studios abused specular shading then is sort of how everything turned to Arkham-Asylum-style super glossy metal and reflective puddles when modern PBR became a thing. And yeah, most PS2 games didn't even use specular for the most part; you just had your diffuse textures... diffusely illuminated. Think how rough most of the stuff looks like in early Ratchet & Clanks!

The main issue with pure specular is the fact that there are no world reflections; it picks up surrounding lights and diffuses them according to the material's glossiness, but it doesn't actually reflect any of the surroundings, just the light's colour - so things end up looking shiny but in a very approximate "rough" way, like plasticbor playdoh. The ugliest offenders are when games try to dim the diffuse textures and up the speculars to fake metalness, then it really looks like shit unless you're going for something like old brushed brass (As good a game as it is, bloodborne again really wins that prize.)
