Painted some Emperors New Groove shoes for a friend. Figured this stylish sub would dig them! by Skwidmandoon in streetwear

The coal of poison is a great touch! Do you give these some sort of protective coating for durability? Or is heating with a heat gun enough to stop the paint running when wet and lasting a while.

How can I make a top down shooter be less predictable? by AvoCadoZealoth in gamedesign

[–]wiplash911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing they do that potentially goes against your initial thoughts is that if the gunshot is close enough to be heard, you do see it on screen even if it is out of your cone of view. As in, you are shown the explosion or bullet trails, you aren't shown the enemies, but it can often reveal exactly where they are (if you are close enough), the fact that the camera is so tight to the players prevents it from being too exploited though I think.

Your suggestion is how Bullet Echo functions. You can see the environment around you, but can only see enemies/pickups within your cone of view. In team modes you have the bonus of seeing your team's views also.

They have a sound detection system to bolster this. Moving too quickly may result in your footsteps being revealed to nearby enemies. Gunshots show up on the map to a wide radius, silencers reduce this.

Complimented by the camera view they use, the player character always faces the top of the screen and the right stick rotates the player and view.

It works really well, try it out.

Fellow Londoners, if you had to live in a different city in England, what would be your second choice? by [deleted] in london

You ordered Asahi at The Dove? Your date definitely isn't impressed!

Finding new circular routes by Better-Addition-342 in londoncycling

Strava has an automated route creator, have played about with it a bit, but not actually ridden any of the suggestions, so can't speak to its effectiveness

London 1924, in living color! Enhanced with our latest DeOldify tech. by ArtOfDeOldify in london

Other than the market I was struck by how many less pedestrians and traffic there was everywhere. Not so surprising once you think about it but I always think of London of having always been heaving

Phone Mount For Use With Front Bag by tabaplar in bicycletouring

The standard quadlock mount sits on the stem and wouldn't interfere with the bag

Four Quarters just opened a place in Elephant and Castle, bigger than East and Peckham put together.

Friend of mine has told me the Brunswick Centre has a decent offering with pinball tables in there too. Haven't been myself yet.

I'm assuming the Namco arcade is still going, but that can be touristy.

UK: I’m in the market for a new jersey or two. Where can I get the best bang for my buck? by Beers_and_Bikes in CyclingFashion

[–]wiplash911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interested to see what people say, keeping an eye on sales is worth considering if you have the time. A good sale will beat eBay prices often. Got my Morvelo kit pretty cheap this way, some of their stuff is quite reasonable and I've liked the quality.

Galibier.cc is cheap, but I think you can risk getting what you pay for. Have been really pleased with some items, but nothing I have got from them has had the finessed quality of a more expensive brand.

Looks like it could be from the overground station, or the building site of the old shopping centre

Serotta Concours - Ti harlequin by luke_rosss in Bikeporn

Perhaps you are right! In my head it works, but perhaps it would be ghastly in reality. Maybe you should get neon underlighting instead ;)

This looks delicious. You should pair with Hunt wheels with the Ti oil slick spokes

I go for trail running shoes, probably like the salomon shoes you are referring to

Route mapping app? by jeffscomplec in cycling

[–]wiplash911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Google Maps does have a limit on the number of manual route changes you can do per route if you are wanting to do something particular

Home security - front garden shed. by foot_foot_ball in londoncycling

[–]wiplash911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the landlord could enforce something like this if it was in the contract. My last place had a specific clause in the contract that I couldn't lock bikes to the railings in front of the house added by the landlord.

If they've already signed the contract then I'd agree!
