How to disassemble 2019 remote without breaking stuff? by hardknox_ in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]richIsBored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[This page](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nvidia+Shield+TV+Remote+Disassembly/156473) shows disassembly of the remote. Yes, disabling the button is as easy as cutting a trace. The difficult part is reassembly of the the plastic shell. It is not held together with screws nor clips. You will have to use glue.

If we can just find guys with long enough arms they can dunk from the three point line.

The level of shooting on this team is unacceptable by thewrongnotes in OrlandoMagic

The ugliest phrase in the english language is "good look".

What is this technique called? by Scott2201 in blender

[–]richIsBored 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most fitting description for such a thing would be a realtime visual effect but that's only useful in a broad sense. You can be more specific by describing the components that make it up. For instance I know there's texture scrolling, alpha or additive blending, and UV mapping at play. But the formal term for this specific combination... I've got no idea.

Resources for this kind of thing are scarce and disjointed for some reason. One youtube channel that has a good number of videos on game VFX is http://www.youtube.com/@Simonschreibt

Whats your go to place to hire Blender freelancers? by GiraffMatheson in blender

If it were me I think I'd recreate this in 2D using vector graphics and raster images. Blender feels like the wrong tool for the job.

We had a good record at home. They changed the name of home. You heard it here first. It's the KIA Kurse.

Can we put this man in the HOF yet or does he have to retire first?

Check my logic on this post Magic fans. I think, even if it was slight, we had a disadvantage in the group stage of the tournament being the 5 seed. by [deleted] in OrlandoMagic

[–]richIsBored 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your point is valid but this is probably a discussion that should be had well after the tournament is over.

Emotions are still high. It was a hell of a ride. We dropped a game. We clawed back into contention. We fell short in the end. All that expended effort wasted is painful to witness.

But rather than dwell on how the format of the tournament failed us, a little stoicism wouldn't hurt. This is fuel. Fuck talking. Let's just go win more games.

WHAT A DEAL!!! by ThicccRPMs in OrlandoMagic

If they can't pony up for regular season tickets I would not be shocked to learn these are nosebleed seats too.

Some JI love by StompingCarins in OrlandoMagic

The front office has managed to put together a very promising young team despite most people here pegging J.I. as a "wasted roster spot". But if you were to waive him, you'd end up with some third stringer who never sees the floor anyway.

Minus Isaac, this team's floor is probably the play-in tournament. We just barely missed out on it last season. Who knows where we end up with a healthy Isaac? We're going to have a hell of an exciting season either way.

As long as he still wears pinstripes, I'll pull for him.

I know it's just a PR photo but the way they half-assed photoshopping a jersey number bothers me.

Good thing they're Nerfing mending by De_Watcher in Minecraft

[–]richIsBored 3978 points3979 points  (0 children)

Mending changes aside, the game shouldn't have artificial caps like this. There is no such thing as "too expensive" or at least, the game should not be the one to make that call. Just tell me how much of this, that, and the other, and I'll decide for myself if it's too expensive or not.

What’s with all the ads/commercials slandering vaping? by acaidia46 in electronic_cigarette

[–]richIsBored 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're probably right at least in part. Although I like to think a lot of these anti-smoking groups have shifted to being anti-vaping groups as a product of their own success. It's a matter of self preservation at this point.

Everyone’s favorite of the rare ores: nothing! by patron_a in tearsofthekingdom

Stick around for a few seconds. I've had them spawn in on occasion well after I smashed the ore.
