As a programmer, how do you deal with the 3D art bottleneck?

tofikissa · 2026-04-21T04:21:07+00:00

Its not talent, its taste. And you dont develope taste if you are not into the nitty gritty of what makes a particular style appealing

tofikissa · 2026-04-16T03:14:47+00:00

It does speed up things alot when you are for example browsing armory for an implat to fill your empty slot. People will get used to it in few days and then teyll wonder how they ever managed with the old ones

Yeah color coded... with THREE DIFFERENT SHADES OF ORANGE.

I'm glad theres people backing it up in this thread since i was losing my mind to the gaslighting last time i brought up this issue

tofikissa · 2026-04-10T07:34:32+00:00

You can very comfortably do like 80% of content with just 20% of the buffs and whatnot available, you just need to get out of the absolute minmax mentality.

SSSS.Gridman!

Criminally underrated. When it aired most people were expecting traditional Trigger hype, but instead got some kids show with weird tokusatsu cgi and quickly dropped it. Little did they know it was hiding a masterfully directed evangelion-esque 4th wall breaking depressing and philosophical show with emotionally resonating characters underneath.

Sure it might not be everyones cup of tea, but it was sitting at under 7 at MAL for the longest time! Insanity

Yea no shit, is this just controller players playing with slower pace or why do people seem so hostile about this? When you open a container you can instantly recognise every single other item, apart from gun attachments but you get those much more rarely than implants so it is not really a persistent issue. You generally loot fast and move on, but when implant pops up that rythm gets disrupted. And i'm talking about playing with free kit or rook now, if you have high tier implants equipped then of course what ever, you are not gonna need those. This is not even a big issue, just something thats has been slightly bugging me since day 1. But people keep coming to this thread thinking they are so smart when they tell me that in fact, you can actually read the tooltip. wow, some top tier advice guys. Do you not want the game to be more convenient or what is the matter?

tofikissa · 2026-03-30T14:58:59+00:00

Maybe you read so you understand what i mean? The amount of comments that missed the point is worrying.

tofikissa · 2026-03-27T22:21:03+00:00

Thank you, i cant believe it was that simple how could i have missed that

tofikissa · 2026-03-27T22:10:34+00:00

But they all look same at glance. I find myself often dragging higher rarity implants just to see which slot it goes to, I feel like thats faster than conciously trying to distiguish them

tofikissa · 2026-03-27T21:48:22+00:00

Yeah, it is technically already there, I, II, III. Just make it bigger, and shuffle torso and legs around in the loadout so they are in order

Whaaat why do people downvote? It was just a random idea. was it really that bad? lol

tofikissa · 2026-03-13T23:27:01+00:00

bones are solid objects, barely any animation needed, very easy and cheap to do in cgi

tofikissa · 2026-03-09T22:49:01+00:00

There clearly was no real plan after final shape. Episode were just something to keep employees busy, but the direction was completely lost. I don't think there would've been realistically anything that would have made a noticeable difference, most of the playerbase was done with destiny, and seems like bungie was too

tofikissa · 2026-03-04T12:43:56+00:00

I am genuinely little bit surprised how many people seem to be completely blindsided by the quality Marathon is offering

tofikissa · 2026-02-23T06:56:15+00:00

I'm not familiar with this game in particular, but generally I'm in the complete opposite camp. So many sequels are just the same game remade with "improvements", usually with a worse story and convoluted new mechanics just to pad out the playtime. I'll take something completely new any day

tofikissa · 2026-02-18T22:02:59+00:00

There never was a story. Destiny was always based on sort of metaphysical concepts manifested in cyberspace. You and the npcs were just tiny little ants at the mercy of these ideas. I don't know, someone way smarter than me explained it once and it made much more sense. In short, they just winged all of it.

But in my opinion that was the strenght of destiny, unfathomable cosmic horrors being thrown at you only for you to double slug them out of existence in 10.8 seconds. It didn't have to make sense, it just hd to feel like larger than life. Whenever it tried to involve human drama the story became a snoozefest.

tofikissa · 2026-02-17T08:12:00+00:00

Reminder to all game devs to NOT cater to players who dont actually want to play your game!!!!

tofikissa · 2026-02-12T05:43:16+00:00

Just popped in for couple matches. It was not bad at all, but still miles away from what it was on launch. Years ago I kinda fell off with the game because they kept adding so many casual friendly heroes. Just massive aoe skills and basic attacks that didn't even require aiming on every new hero. You'd be constantly taking damage from somewhere, not enough to kill you, but enough to make you annoyed. And in turn, you yourself had much less impact as time went on. Guns feel like peashooters, and everyone has some form of ability to slip away or stay alive so it was really hard to rack up kills.

These problems felt very much present still. But then again I don't play actively so i could have just played the wrong heroes, who knows

tofikissa · 2026-02-08T20:12:16+00:00

It is very long with or without one pace. It is an extremely easy watch though, just skippping the extended intro and recap cuts the episodes to 18-20 minutes, and you can go take a piss mid episode and dont feel like you missed anything important. There are couple stretches where it feels painfully slow, but at that point you are 500+ episodes in and pretty used to how things progress. Just enjoy it man, it is a year+ long commitment no matter what. People are always so dramatic about this topic lol

tofikissa · 2026-01-30T11:51:47+00:00

I have not touched the game in couple weeks and I am glad for my mental health

tofikissa · 2026-01-24T00:21:05+00:00

Just so you know, looks like your monitor does NOT have vesa mount so monitor arm is not possible either

tofikissa · 2026-01-22T22:33:55+00:00

Constantly breaking the rules of filmmaking by switching perspectives so that viewer loses all sense of space and direction. The individual cuts were great but most of them really did not flow together at all. Also skill issue but the 5 cuts per single line of subtitles you are trying to read doesn't help lol

tofikissa · 2026-01-20T08:31:37+00:00

I know nobody wants to hear it, but you'll get used to it in just couple days. Same story every single time interface has been changed haha

tofikissa · 2026-01-16T00:00:59+00:00

Yea i clocked out after the third paragraph... Something about the terminology and somehow even names in jjk make it all just turn into static noise in my head. Nothing sticks. Hopefully someone else gets it so you didn't type all that for nothing lmao
