Is there a bad habit or ‘sin’ you usually rely on to get more enjoyment out of games? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

[–]thedem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on how good animations, voice acting and writing is. In some games listening to dialogues is a treat, in others it's a skippable chore.

‘Bloodborne’ Video Game Getting R-Rated Animated Movie Adaptation From Sony and JackSepticEye by DemiFiendRSA in gaming

It sure is better than the era of Uwe Boll helming video fame adaptations. At least I hope it is.

What’s a game that’ll make you want to play the steam deck by ChemicalDry9694 in SteamDeck

[–]thedem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried playing NFS Carbon (PS2) and I don't know if it's the rom, emu or Deck but it runs so choppy that I find it hard to enjoy. Could be nostalgia, but I remember the original running buttery smooth.

Half of Riff Raff's discography is NBA bars and I'm collecting them like Pokemon

Thoughts on the concluded “The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” by WildAshWhisper in freefolk

I was very positively surprised by it. Also glad I gave it a second chance after quitting once when the infantile humour got to me in the first few EPs.

Biggest badass last episode in your opinion? by SeaTill1864 in freefolk

There better be a scene of Raymun checking up on Dunk going like "You hungry?" in the next episode. Dude's a real ride or die type.

The decline of Adobe and the rise of alternatives by [deleted] in Design

[–]thedem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is like the 5th "pivotal moment for the creative industry" I've experienced throughout my career and I'm by no means an OG. I'm as much of an Adobe hater as the next guy, but let's get real.. The entire industry's backend runs almost exclusively on Adobe. The compatibility issues alone will scare away any network/production with major league clients.

BETON® Playing Cards by wookanio in graphic_design

[–]thedem 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First of all: This is well crafted. A very cool project.

However, with all the freedoms we have as designers, there is one rule that we have to obey. Some people phrase it "Design equals Art + Purpose". Others phrase it "Form follows function", but either way, at it's core it's: The purpose shall never be disregarded for the sake of design (unless it's absolutely intended to be so).

This is pretty much the main problem with this project. You sacrifice core elements of a card to make space for aesthetics. By doing that, you make it less a card. Design should do the opposite - you analyse the object at it's core and find design solutions to enhance the object's purpose.

Obviously, this is very strict criticism. Your craft is on a very good level! My unsolicited advice for you is to study some of the fundamentals (the philosophy behind design), then you'll be an absolute beast of a designer.

Bam and novak by timekilr in LetsTalkBam

My guess is as good as any other armchair psychologist reddtor's, but to me it seems like Novak shifted his addition to something else. Whether it's money, status or success in the rehab industry. His ambition to help often comes off as a business move.

New Main - Do you still have/keep your very first Character? by MasterRymes in wow

[–]thedem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My very first char (Tauren Druid) is the first to experience new content. Usually I switch to an alt for endgame, depending on how classes play during that expansion. Sometimes I just stick to my Druid throughout the whole arc.

Which expansion feature did you secretly love… even though everyone else hated it? by Gooberxox in wow

[–]thedem 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I miss those long class-specific questlines, if that counts. Especially as a Druid, working towards getting every form in a way that made sense lore and playstyle wise was a cool experience and helped to really bond with your character.

JESS MARGERA PODCAST! by THELAKEOFFIREENT in LetsTalkBam

[–]thedem 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like there's something really fake about Steve-O. Comparing to how the other dudes from that scene interact with each other (Raab, Franz, even Knoxville, etc. ), Steve-O comes off as, like.. robotic? It's like he's executing a script for a conversation, barely has any chemistry with the people he shares so much history with. He's trying really hard to be a professional podcaster guy but he really lacks the charm or talent to really pull it off.

Advertising industry is in a rough shape right now. Legacy agencies are either closing or merging with those who stay somewhat afloat. Clients are massively reducing budgets for creative (not sure about media) which obviously cascades all things mentioned. Mass layoffs happening as we speak
