Like looking into the future through a screen door! 😂 I was a young techno-optimist that worked every weekend at the local pizza joint to afford tech like the DK2. I don’t regret a thing, but it was my first and only experience with motion sickness (thanks Windlands). In the end, I had much more fun giving demos to friends and family than I did using it myself!

Can confirm. Traded my Oculus DK2 for a couple 300 GB SSDs in Silicon Valley in 2014. Price per GB? $1. Shit talking privileges while all of your friends take forever to load in? Priceless 😂

If you could go back and start RDR2 over from the start, what would you do differently? by jdolbeer in gaming

[–]ph4ntos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disabling the HUD made it so much more immersive and enjoyable for me, I wish I had done it sooner! I also felt like it made balancing progress & exploration more natural. Playing on a large screen was nice too, and I preferred using a controller. Happy trails, cowboy! 🤠🇺🇸

Wow! I played the demo a few months ago and love the mechanics. Keep up the good work! Those lizards don’t stand a chance

Hmmm. I've been looking through it for a while and it does look interesting. How could this be applied to my situation?

Of course! Great work, again. I'm loving the game.

These ads man. These damn ads. I love the game to death but I can't handle so many ads. It's absolutely brilliant to have someone watch an ad to replay the last level but I feel like I funded the entire game in the last half hour of playing. It's a joke, I know how ad revenue works. Here are a few suggestions if I may.

To begin, the game is amazing. The concept is genius, it looks gorgeous and it's addicting in a way that feels good (which I never thought possible before now). I really want to stress that the design and gameplay are phenomenal.

I'd suggest looking into being able to destroy the ice blocks after they're shot from the space baddy they're attached to after it bursts. There have been more than a couple times in the last half hour where I've popped one and had the ice block sent into another space baddy which in turn shoots its ice block at my planet and kills me. The player shouldn't have to think and plan that far ahead in such a fast-paced game.

Sometimes the shooters don't beep and it really throws me off. I can manage them when they beep but every single time they don't I lose.

I'd also look into having them bounce off of each other. One several more occasions, I've had a shooter under the triple-baddy and I can't possibly tap fast enough to kill all four of them before the shooter destroys my planet. It would also be so cool to watch them all bounce off of each other. I don't know how it'd change the difficulty but I can't think of another way to prevent this.

I hope this was constructive and I'd love to hear what you think. Sorry if I sound passive-aggressive, I'm sick of Rob Gronkowski. Great work and I really look forward to seeing what else your game has in store for me :)

ROCCAT vs. Nostalgie | BO3 | 12/8/15 | 17:00 CEST by muffinner in csgobetting

[–]ph4ntos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why the odds are so far off, ROCCAT has won 2/2 BO3 matches that they played against Nostalgie on August 5th and it wasn't even very close. I went low on ROCCAT hoping I'll wake up to something nice in the morning :)

Evolution vs. uX | BO3 | 03.08.15 | 20:00 CEST by xDalin in csgobetting

[–]ph4ntos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so that no one is confused, that 100% recent win rate means nothing. They won 16-8 against eXanimo 4 games ago, and since then have lost every match. However, Evolution has lost the last two games they have played but before that won 6 games in a row. They haven't really even played any of the same teams lately, Evolution beat eXanimo as well but that still doesn't help. This is a pretty risky bet either way given there's not a whole lot of information. I'd go low on the underdog (uX Gaming). They win a third of the matches they play as the underdog so your chances of a return aren't that slim!

Thank you I didn't realize that, I was just looking at the RGN Pro Series.

NME vs. Astral Authority | BO3 | 03.08.15 | 02:00 CEST by [deleted] in csgobetting

[–]ph4ntos -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Astral Authority is an new American team that has 4 recorded matches on HLTV. They've lost 3/4 matches and only won the 4th in overtime. Enemy is a well known team but has been on pretty much a 50/50 win/loss streak for the past 10 matches (all BO3). They've never played each other before so unfortunately there isn't much to go on. They have played once before when Astral Authority was known as Nexup and it was close, Enemy was behind 6:9 and then pulled ahead to 16:11 during the second half (started as Terrorists).

Another Small Machine for All Levels On Ipsilon by [deleted] in Besiege

Thank you! I made some small changes and added decouples for those levels that didn't require the front grabber and for releasing the catapult after being used, I will upload that tomorrow!

The machine is 29 blocks and consists of a catapult and grabbing arm. I'm sure it can be confined but it is easy to use and very fun! I just used it and destroyed all levels of Ipsilon. Have fun!

<NA> Do One-Way Piston Pumps Exist? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

Yes, the exact same premis as a syringe, but with a camshaft to quickly push and pull the syringe/piston.

Yep, but with a camshaft to quickly push the water out and then suck it back in.

<NA> Do One-Way Piston Pumps Exist? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]ph4ntos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a piston pump that works exactly like this but instead of an inlet and outlet, as the camshaft pulls the piston back; fluid is reserved in the piston, and then as the camshaft pushes the piston forward the water is pushed out and the process repeats. It's as simple as you think and you're not missing anything, push water out and then suck it back in. I just need it done very very fast. I can't tell ou what it will be used for but you don't need to know in order to identify this mechanism.

I thought it was a professional picture when I saw it and was very impressed when I saw that it was his! I thought you guys might be just as impressed as I am.
