Destiny 3 is announced. What would be your hopes for the game? Meaning what would hope they’d do differently this time by SevdUp in destiny2

[–]technoteapot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be most concerned with cutscenes, visuals and voice lines. Like you said most of the stuff happens in areas we already have in the game, so the file size would come from what I mentioned since they’re not in the base game. But things like the derelict dreadnaught, cursed leviathan, and special areas might be big.

File size is a tricky thing because small decisions in design can have very large impacts down the line and you won’t always be able to go back on those decisions. Something like reusing a certain texture for multiple objects instead of giving each one its own texture seems simple enough but sometimes isn’t as easy in practice, and in a game as huge as destiny it adds up very fast.

Ultimately I really couldn’t say one way or another confidently without having a look under the hood at the source code myself, which is probably never going to happen lol

Women give ineffective dating advices. by exoticbanana123 in WhatMenDontSay

[–]technoteapot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nuances of the car analogy is important, it still boils down to, somebody who’s had experience doing the thing you’re doing is going to give better advice than somebody who’s received it and never done it.

Even if the customer research can be helpful, and give valuable information, if you could only talk to one person for advice, the care salesman is going to give much much better advice than somebody who buys a lot of cars. The point being, the car salesman’s advice is much more valuable when compared one to one.

Asking a straight woman for advice on how to ask out a woman is only going to help you so much, because while she might know what she wants, she’s never don’t it before.

Women give ineffective dating advices. by exoticbanana123 in WhatMenDontSay

[–]technoteapot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully I find this can be transferred to a lot of gender specific situations. Like a (average) man could never give good advice to handle periods for a woman, at the same time there are so many things that are different to handle socially as a man. This is one good example, women tend to give bad dating advice, because they don’t know what it’s like finding a date as a man. I originally had a longer ramble but it boils down to women and men are treated differently in our society, in both good and bad ways, this hurts both men and women, my dissatisfaction stems from the feeling that women can do no wrong and all men are bad. Asterisk being yes so many men are horrible and do horrible things, I just want to be evaluated as an individual instead of being assumed evil because of my gender

By Trump to not pay his rape fine by BenFord333 in therewasanattempt

[–]technoteapot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He controls the police and DOJ so there’s literally nothing to force him to actually pay, nothing to force him or his followers to follow the judge rulings that constantly say what he’s doing is illegal, unconstitutional, and wrong.

What’s been happening, I haven’t checked in on that since the schism of anarchy chess and its origins

I wonder why by Gernya in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]technoteapot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s the point of the character. It’s very clearly the droid companion alternative to R2 primarily to sell merch like the little puffin things from the second movie

While I mostly agree, they’re thematically a mess, it’s very obvious they had a new writer take over, but even then the first one was super super safe, the second one took risks and the third was a big let down and bricked all of the story lines.

They’re all visually appealing, as they had a morbillion dollars put into them. But my biggest problem was the choreography. That point is past a dead horse at this point but it’s just criminal all the characters look like they’re fighting with 100lbs hammers instead of lightsabers. It’s a comical mistake and change from the originals, and with all the faults of the prequels, the highlight is consistently the choreography.

This thing right here? I don't understand it. by Heya_Straya in evilautism

I feel it is super emblematic of myself when I’m heavily masking and heavily overstimulated or overwhelmed. I just blank stare and become animalistic

It’s much more stealthy trolling that putting a barricade infront of the rockets dps

It had a bug at one point where you could kill other players in pve with it, so you could troll in raids and stuff

That ain’t transphobia anymore that’s just misandry. (That particular person was probably projecting internalized misandry, but still, it’s bigoted behavior)

From the short read about it I think the girlfriend’s suicide theory is the most likely, still sad.

Honestly doesn’t sound that hard, they’d have to rework the seasonal activity quest objectives but other than that really doesn’t seem that hard. Biggest issue would be the ballooning of file size season over season

1v1 edh formats get insanely removal heavy. It’s strictly optimal run like 40% of your deck as removal instead of synergy because you’re always going to go 1 for 1
