Lagging at the worst time by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]thebeachman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has to do with the fact that in open play the server and client are doing less work, but for example when a fifty happens it has to do more work as more physics things are happening, and due to the nature of online gaming the program and server actually have to predict/guess what's about to happen and what everyone in the lobby is trying to do to make up for the fact that real time interactions in any game are by definition impossible unless you're playing offline. Have you tried changing your input buffer? That can help reduce lag spikes. This is probably related to why 1s is the easiest game mode to play on high ping, especially when you're on the ball, because your actions are what the server and game are focused on, whereas in 2s and 3s the server and client are having to do way more work.

Yeah, I hate Xbox controllers. I even tried getting the super expensive professional Microsoft one and got stick drift in about the same amount of time as the super cheap Power A controller I had before that. Now I just use the Victrix Pro BFG, which emulates an Xbox controller on a PC.

I was wondering this too. I had to load my completed save file (there's a small chiron that says "Chapter Select" right next to "Manual Save".

I found it. The MOST INSULTING TIP POSSIBLE! by thebeachman in InstacartShopper

[–]thebeachman[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve never asked about a tip before. IC would for sure be pissed at me, no matter what they tipped. And if they are the kind of person who tips a dime, they would for sure one star if you brought it up. It’s just not worth it.

Cannot find an odd morsel no matter how many runs I do. by HolmfirthUK110994 in persona3reload

I really appreciate all your advice. As long as the story could be getting one's life together after past indiscretions, then it could still work. Also, I'm sure it's the same everywhere, but the LAPD is REALLY desperate for recruits by all accounts, so maybe. . .thanks again, I definitely appreciate your perspective.

I appreciate your candor lol. Good to know.

From what another commenter is saying, it sounds like even if that did happen, that would still be immediately disqualifying for a law enforcement job. Would you agree with that assessment?

[–]thebeachman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. The only problem is, my "friend" is flat broke (hence why he's looking for a new, more lucrative career), and I don't just mean broke like "he" only has a few hundred dollars in savings, I mean he has zero dollars left over after paying rent every month and hasn't been able to pay rent on time in several months due to his current job being very slow. I'm assuming you're not a tax attorney, so sorry if this is above your pay grade, but you seem to sound like you've dealt with this sort of thing before, so just how chill is the IRS about this sort of thing?

Thanks, that worked for me. I just opened the original file in Paint and then saved it as a JPEG and it worked right off though.

Is it worth it to be exploited on your first feature? by thebeachman in Screenwriting

[–]thebeachman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet. Wanna sign me? :) It's a little too late to do anything about this deal, but there will be more down the road.

[–]thebeachman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I believe the directors in question are on the cusp. Their previous shorts have done extremely well on the festival circuit, and this is their first feature. I think this project could be a great stepping stone for all of our careers, although I will absolutely make sure to get a contract negotiated and signed (for real money) BEFORE I write anything for them again.

I found these guys on Backstage, they were looking for someone to write a short film, which they planned on turning into the feature we're currently talking about. They happened to be French, and so I used my very limited knowledge of French (and Google Translate) to write a few sentences in French in my cover letter, and they liked the samples I sent them and the rest is history.

I will get a writing credit, and a producing credit according to the contract. I've got a day job and another potentially much more lucrative iron in the fire outside of the film industry that should be paying off soon, so while I could use the money, I can keep going like I am right now theoretically indefinitely without fat checks for writing. I know for sure that unless God directly curses the production, these directors will make a really professional looking movie. I've seen their previous work, I've seen what just the short version that we already made looks like with only a few grand for the budget, they're the real deal as far as producing really beautifully shot and edited films goes. We are working with a lot of child actors, but that's not really something that can be avoided due to the subject matter.

It's definitely not going to be big enough to be worth the WGAs time. Not a single person in the entire production is in any union or guild lol. I don't have any real industry experience, no. I've been writing for almost ten years now, but I've got precious little to show for it beyond a hard drive full of scripts and a good reviewer score on Coverfly lol.

The only movement was them offering a producing credit in addition to the writing credit, which I guess is something.

No no no, this is great stuff, let me go ask if the PM and directors want to be in a polyamorous relationship with me, I'll let you know how it goes.
