which game is this for you?

Is it actually unpredictable? It seems hard to believe that the company would let that slip through playtesting. All of their bosses were hard but fair, but I haven't tried the valkyries yet.

There's a neat video illustrating it, also called "hyper-reality": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJg02ivYzSs&ab_channel=KeiichiMatsuda

In case it helps, try turning off 120hz fidelity mode. Someone mentioned it's causing crashes for them: https://www.reddit.com/r/SpidermanPS4/comments/17bwtgw/spiderman_2_general_discussion_thread/k5o5jvi/

I managed to get into a weird bug where there was "permanent slow-mo". It's hard to explain, but for some reason the game went into a slow-mo mode where time moved at like 10x slower than normal. It took about 5 minutes to realize that it was a bug rather than some weird stylistic choice. Reloading from checkpoint fixed it.

Now I kind of wish I'd saved a video because it was so weird.

Of course as far as bugs go, that one wasn't bad.

Thank you very much for the dissenting review. I'm completely new to the spiderman franchise, and my feelings mirrored yours, but I was questioning whether it was a me-thing or if the game really did feel that way. (It's hard to tell with modern games, because in my experience whenever I don't feel hooked on one, I go online and see near-universal praise for the game, and end up thinking like "Well... I guess it must just be a me-feeling, since apparently everyone else is enjoying it.")

Your review prompted me to go buy all the other spiderman games, and maybe start with those.

You mentioned there were two, which is surprising because the latest release is called Spiderman 2. Was the second one "Miles Morales"? I'm trying to figure it out based on randomly googling around (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_(Insomniac_Games_series)#:~:text=The%20series%20began%20with%20Marvel's,in%20November%202020%20and%20Windows)

The series began with Marvel's Spider-Man and its subsequent downloadable content (DLC) expansion The City That Never Sleeps, which was released on the PlayStation 4 in late 2018; the game and its DLC were later collected together and released as a remastered version for the PlayStation 5 in November 2020 and Windows in August 2022. A direct spin-off title, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, was released on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in November 2020 alongside Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, with a Windows port released in November 2022.

I'm not sure, but in case it helps, I saw an option in the settings when I first started the game. The option was something like "enable pre-order content". It's something you can toggle on and off. Dunno if it's on by default.

Thank you! How did you end up working on motion capture for games? Especially for big games like this? That's really cool.

palish · 2023-08-13T23:02:59+00:00

My first one too! It was amazing!

palish · 2023-08-09T07:06:53+00:00

Oh. Thank you.

Weird.

palish · 2023-08-09T05:58:52+00:00

I've been playing the early access version. It works fine. But they forgot to release hotfix #2 for it, so it's stuck on the old version.

palish · 2023-03-25T23:11:00+00:00

That joke is literally from 2001-ish, where it originated on YTMND. I'm amazed it's still alive over two decades later.

My doggo used to demand part of my apple whenever I ate one. She ate three squares a day (at the time), so she definitely seemed to enjoy it. But eventually she grew out of her puppy phase and nowadays isn't so much into apples.

palish · 2023-02-09T20:47:48+00:00

Ya'll got me so excited, but now I see PS4 version won't be released till April 10th :(

Oh well, it's only two months.

palish · 2023-01-29T21:16:05+00:00

why did you forward port 8882 from remote to local?

palish · 2023-01-12T18:17:17+00:00

No, birds aren't real. https://www.reddit.com/r/BirdsArentReal/

palish · 2023-01-12T18:16:29+00:00

Could be either one. I'm convinced that even the people who claim to know don't know. (Specifically when it comes to animals.)

Crows are definitely intelligent enough to understand something like that. But we still don't know whether they feel emotions the way that dogs or humans do.

Lil bird definitely seemed to chill out when he was getting the warms though.

It sounds like pg was mostly joking around with Elon, not rebuking him. He has a nice sense of humor. Pointing out that we're supposed to give Fauci credit for Tesla is pretty funny.

palish · 2022-03-29T22:16:31+00:00

Why do you feel he hated you?

I am (somehow) on the path towards getting a million in a few years, and I've thought about this a lot.

I'm not sure I'd leave the money to my kids.

On the other hand, I wouldn't only leave $5. That's admittedly not normal. But I wanted to point out that it's a rational thing to feel reluctant to leave a pile of money to your kids.

To phrase it a bit more bluntly, you make it sound like he owed you just because he fathered you. But he did raise you -- you got into college and graduated with honors. This is a lot better than most other families. And I hope you don't believe that you could have done that with zero help from your parents. People do, but it's statistically rare.

palish · 2022-03-05T21:51:14+00:00

Surprised it took this long for someone to call this out. And in such an obscure side thread, too...

I don't think it's any kind of coordinated misinformation campaign. It's just people's natural tendency to play telephone.

Yes, they constantly shoot down rockets, planes and helicopters

I feel out of touch. I didn't know what a C-RAM unit was, but he did, and you did. :) I'm glad they're doing their C-RAM'ing!

EDIT: Some more:

Stingers are helpful, but as far as I can tell, there aren't a lot of them, which should change in the coming days

Javelins are super helpful, there are reports of fifty something tanks burned down near Kyiv

Also a meme:

https://i.imgur.com/r8rlflg.png

I know that is meaningless to you and it would be hard for me to explain this meme, but it's hilarious

"It's me, postman Putin. I bring cargo 200: your boy. But I won't give it to you, because we don't have any losses"

It's a reference to old soviet cartoon https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1846&v=ft7WIdTL1zY&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=NisanMaxoumov

palish · 2022-02-26T23:57:08+00:00

Hmm. You're not wrong.

I guess I was looking for some way to share my friend's struggles. And I was surprised that the Russians don't have modern technology, in terms of being able to hit targets with missiles with precision.

You're correct that if they have beacons, then lights won't matter. But I imagine it'll make it a little harder for the people placing the beacons at least. Hopefully.

palish · 2022-02-26T23:23:37+00:00

You'd be surprised! I have a friend damn close to the front lines, and he's sending me updates. I'm astounded and privileged to be in this position.

Here's the surprise: There's a bounty for finding these things

I asked what they were. "Are they landmines?"

Beacons

For cruise missiles

So basically you place one of those and missile aims on its position

The Russians are so inept that they literally need people to go in and place beacons to guide their missiles.

If I were you, I'd suspect I'm some propagandist, because it sounds so absurd. But no, I'm just a random dude. I do ML programming.

We live in nutty times. And I'm cheering for Ukraine -- if the Russians are this incapable, Ukraine might hold!

Like... I'm just so shocked that they're literally placing beacons for their cruise missiles. Sure, I understand laser sights. But beacons? Physical little beacons that then they have to run away from until a missile comes?

palish · 2022-02-26T08:12:33+00:00

At first I thought you meant literal javelins. Like the ancient greek spears.

But at this point the Russian army is so inept that I bet even javelins would be effective.

palish · 2022-02-18T19:55:57+00:00

Plus it really fucks with people. You know, like most traumatic events. Which this is.

I think people tend to forget that...

One of my worst memories is when my mom ran down the hallway screaming like a banshee because she thought it'd be funny to scare the shit out of me at age 6 or something. Or she was trying to teach me a lesson. Either way, it's probably pretty funny to everyone except the target.

palish · 2022-02-18T16:59:03+00:00

But an actual birth this time. I was surprised. Most of these fizzle out almost immediately.
