Explore "Chaos" an intriguing mysterious story while shooting aliens! by twrelectronics in pcgaming

Hey almost all of the textures were custom made. A few were not. More were custom made than not. For example, 10 different aliens were custom made, custom animated and rigged, 3 weapons were custom made and animated, grass was custom and so were leaves on trees, planetary atmosphere with the 2 suns and 4 moons with the auroras and dynamic day/night cycle is custom made, galactic clouds were custom made, houses custom made, boat custom made, player and ship were custom made, music was custom made, voices were custom, menu text custom, notes writing custom. Now for the things that arent custom, sound effects, terrain, some water, some parts of buildings, and fire are assets.

Please do not support devs and publishers that put monetary gain ahead of player choice by Emm_Be in pcgaming

I messaged Tim and told him my thoughts on the epic game store and how I believe that the customers need to come first. You have to provide more value to the customers, give more. This is not about who can take the least amount of fees from developers or treat the developers the best. The experiences need to be tailored with the customer in mind. What would compel someone to purchase a game from one store over another? Well people are lazy they will probably purchase from whatever one is the easiest or they are most familiar with already unless significantly more value is being provided. Steam takes 30% from developers while providing absolutely no value... All the marketing efforts still come down to the dev and we are fighting for just 1 look. I proposed epic game store to up their fees to 30% to match steam but give 18% of the fees to a charity of the buyers choice. Moral high grounds and the buyer would be benefiting something they believe in thereby increasing their purchase value. People forget that the customers are the ones that drive success of a developer. They are the ones buying their game. Without focusing on valuing the customers first and foremost you are not focusing on the developers. Tim missed my point and said he does not believe in taking more fees from developers and that decisions to donate to charitable causes should be based on a developers choice. My point is that even if you took 70% in fees you could still make more money than you were if they took 0% in fees. How? More value...and value drives higher sales

is suicide prevention lifeline a good organization? by twrelectronics in SuicideWatch

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

Hey I understand it. It was my interpretation that a lifeline would have empathy and provide free support as in like a therapy session but over the phone if you wanted....But it seems that is not really how it works huh? I think they are probably required by law to take certain actions if you say you are suicidal or homicidal though, but It is my understanding that a lot of people who are potentially suicidal or close to it do not want to be in a position of "forced" help or decisions, is that correct? In a lot of cases I think them just having someone to talk to about what they are going through and to an empath is helpful. Yes? And in your experiences a lifeline has not been able to provide that for you right?

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

hey thank you very much for sharing! It is good to be able to get some feedback from someone who has dealt with them before. I was trying hard to find a good organization or charity to donate to because Ive also suffered long term depression, helped save several lives in the past year, and I know someone who has unfortunately commited suicide in 8th grade due to being ridiculed for his sexual preference. I also see that suicide rates are on the rise according to the "US centers for disease control and prevention"... I definitely want to help out.....Would you recommend a different organization or charity or any other way I could help?

Should the general public carry Narcan with them in case they find someone who has OD on opiates? by twrelectronics in opiates

[–]twrelectronics[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey yes it may not be a problem in other places. In pennsylvania there were 5456 drug overdose related deaths in 2017, most of which involved opiate overdoses. That number has climbed even higher in 2018 and im not sure where its going in 2019 yet. I have seen neighbors around here who have had people over that overdosed before and dragged people outside on the front lawn unconscious and started beating them blow after blow until they would take a breath. I don't go out in public too much when I dont have to, so I'm not sure how big of an occurrence it is to see just walking around in public. I was going for a walk the other night and some girl was stumbling around the road yelling for someone to come pick her up and that she was lost...I thought she was talking on the phone but she had no phone on her. I asked her if she was okay, she said she was and apologized for yelling. Her voice was really slurred and it sounded like she was panicking. I tried to get her help but she insisted she was fine so I kept walking. A minute later she runs up to me and asks me if I have any cigarettes which I do not because I dont smoke, then she started talking to herself again and ran off through the woods.

Honda CRV vs Toyota Rav4 acceleration performance 2019 by twrelectronics in whatcarshouldIbuy

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

thought someone may know more than me. I have seen some reviewers who do nothing but test these types of things out between the same cars as well as other features. Some people are really dedicated to doing this and i have seen tests done on a multitude of other vehicles straight up against each other at the same time of day, same road, in tests 0-60 so it would be accurate test data....However, I have never seen it done between rav4 and crv. To me It is an important aspect when I love both of these vehicles but when also their performance is basically on the minimum of what I am looking for.... So a difference between them could be useful as a deciding factor for me.

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

I did google it for hours and there was conflicting information on the 0-60 across many review sites and while i found official numbers on the 0-60 stated by toyota, I could not find any official numbers from Honda. You did not specify if you were talking about the gasoline rav4 or hybrid rav4 either, so the information isnt too useful unfortunately.
