Notch worked at King before, so MC is directly related to one of the companies on the list.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon Age: The Veilguard | Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Part of the issue is that modern games are usually getting fixes right up to release. Pre-release reviews tend to focus on things that aren’t likely to ever change significantly, like design and writing.

It would be nice if they gave a summary of issues they saw with a disclaimer that they may get fixed instead of omitting that information entirely.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duracell PowerCheck: A genius idea which didn't last long⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
It’s only connected when you are pressing the spots, and they were painful to use so that they wouldn’t get pressed accidentally.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I get a screw like this out?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
It gets called that everywhere. Most people never need to know the actual specs for a screw, so language diverges from the classification system.

I usually keep the corrections to myself, but when somebody else is already correcting someone and they say the wrong thing too it becomes hard.

Flathead is a description of the head profile, like panhead. Slotted is the screwdriver type that is just a single slot.

It might make me smarter, but it makes me feel dumb.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do you find new games nowadays? (Both singleplayer + multiplayer)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve been playing Gamedle recently. I tend to discover interesting games both as answers and while researching the info I have.

More biomes don’t fix the fundamental flaw in the design. It treats planets the same way Raft treats islands. They become purely a resource hunt for the player, no matter what skin they have.

Raft gets away with it by having your base travel with you, being incredibly hostile, and being short enough that the loop doesn’t get tiring.

NMS and Starbound struggle from the same issues. Infinite tiered worlds end up feeling the same, but also remove all meaning from the exploration. In Minecraft or Terraria you aren’t going to be flying to a totally new place in five minutes, so you want to get to know your surroundings and put down some roots.

Travel time and not having tiered world progression makes the player care about where they are at instead of seeing it as a stepping stone.

There are various methods, but from a practical standpoint it is gone regardless.

They are trans.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people still sculpt? Any sculptors here on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
People still sculpt. Go look up Bobby Fingers on YouTube to get an idea of what sculpting looks like.

There are a variety of clays. From what I hear, most sculptors use some form of air-dry, not firing clay like pottery would use.

Nobody ever sculpted in marble. You would sculpt in clay, make a plaster mold, fine-tune the design, then meticulously transfer it to marble.

What’s almost more crazy is that a few of the tiny number of people who finished the first one went on to speed run it. Skipping entire sections with crazy shortcuts, nailing insane maneuvers over and over.

A shocking amount of the difficulty is in knowledge.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Furiosa’ First Reactions Say It’s a Stunning Powerhouse (But No ‘Fury Road’)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Pretty much all of the environment is CG, which makes nearly every shot a VFX shot automatically. Additionally, almost all shots of a vehicle in motion where the actors are acting was shot still and all motion is CG.

Practical and CG are not mutually exclusive.

That’s the joke. Jackman is too tall and handsome? Have AU Wolverine be even taller and more handsome.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year )⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Lingo. It tickles my brain in wonderful ways. I’m currently working through the custom level Liduongo, sequel to an earlier map named Duolingo, and I continue to be surprised, delighted, and utterly perplexed.

It’s a rules-based puzzler that doesn’t tell you the rules buried in a confusing labyrinth. The only downside is that it requires a strong grasp of English, limiting its audience.
