- Comment on Tom Cruise Reshaped His Narrative with Edge of Tomorrow 3 weeks ago:
If I had to guess, he’s drawing parallels between Newman and Cruise’s careers. The Hustler was the first of several films Newman made in a short period of time that marketed him as a hero. It wasn’t his first Oscar nomination, but it did earn him one.
The Sting was a huge box-office success Newman was in after a bunch of flops, and helped bring him back into the spotlight.
The Color of Money finally earned Newman an Oscar, and it was reprising the same character he played in The Hustler after 25 years. You can definitely see parallels there between him and Cruise with Top Gun (36 years between it and the sequel), and weirdly enough Cruise is also in The Color of Money.
- Comment on particles 4 weeks ago:
All of this is just going off checking Wikipedia, so it could be wrong. Gluons are a type of particle that can have nine different “color states” depending on the quarks and anti-quarks that comprise them (despite the name, it has nothing to do with literal color). These states are made up of red, green, and blue for quarks, and anti-red, anti-green, and anti-blue for anti-quarks. Depending on the combinations of quarks and anti-quarks, the color state of gluons listed something like “red-antigreen” as “rg”, with the “g” having a line over it to show it’s anti-green, not green. Since you can have a color matched with the anti-version of its color, like I said earlier, you get 9 potential color states.
Then, of those 9 color states, you have combinations of two gluons of different types of states that combine. If you have a strong, stable version of this state, it’s called a color state singlet. Particles like protons have this state, and it allows them to interact with other particles that also have color singlets. However, gluons can’t interact at long range, that means they also can’t hold a color singlet.
So, that leaves 8 potential color state couplets that can be formed. I have no idea why there’s only 8 valid arrangements of those 9 couplets that aren’t a stable singlet, but apparently you can only get 8.
Also tagging @Owl@mander.xyz because I don’t think they’d get notified.
- Comment on Captain Price seems to die in a cut ending from Modern Warfare 3, uncovered 13 years later 1 month ago:
I played these games for the story. The campaigns used to be pretty solid, with good action and a lot of good moments. I’m not saying they’re excellent still, but Modern Warfare had both the nuke and “All Ghillied Up” sequences, Modern Warfare 2 had the up-until-then relatively unexplored front of the United States and the “No Russian” missions, I was genuinely interested in Advanced Warfare’s story, and if you want to go really far back, CoD 2 had some excellent missions that really nailed the scope of battles in WWII. A big part of the reason that Titanfall 2’s campaign was so highly praised was because they had the talent behind Call of Duty’s campaigns working on it. I’m not saying the multiplayer is any small part of the game, but there’s at least some subset of people who played it for the campaign.
- Comment on Does Arkham Knight get better? 1 month ago:
I genuinely enjoyed Arkham Knight, but those mandatory Batmobile sections are easily the most miserable part of the game. If we had those for an entire game, it might not be too bad, but most of the time you just end up using it to get from point A to point B. If you can put up with being stuck for a bit on those sections, you might enjoy it.
Its big issue is that it has to follow up on Arkham City. It’s not a bad game by any stretch, but it’s following up to one of the best superhero games out there. If you’re not invested in the story, there’s no harm in dropping it. Play something you’ll have fun with.
- Comment on I like this text. In which Lemmy community can I best share it ? Thanks. 2 months ago:
Normally I’d expect to see this stuff on !curatedtumblr@sh.itjust.works

The game didn’t really appeal to me, but I want to say that the trailer music absolutely slaps.

Any idea how this is for single-player?

I don’t know how far you’ve gotten, but unless you’re reasonably far through the game, you should not go to see those ghosts. Try going back to the start, and then upwards.
