@coded_artist @LukeAlmighty
So basically, instead of doing hard coding work to make the engine do things properly, they just take the lazy route. Cause essentially what I'm getting here is that getting things to be transparent correctly, while keeping something like front rendering optimizations, is more complicated to do. So why bother with the hassle, if it can be half-assessed?

Again, what perplexes me is that this can't possibly be some hidden, esoteric knowledge. We had transparent things before. If coding from scratch is too hard, why not just borrow code from older titles or older engines?! Just reuse what you knew how to do from a decade ago.

>rusted aluminum can
Ok, I definitely have autism, cause this bothered me. Aluminium doesn't rust. Iron does.

@icedquinn I mean... at some point you'll probably have to kill enough of the military too, but yeah... I guess that's true. Kinda.

@LukeAlmighty Real talk, can someone explain to me why the hell did dithering reappear in modern AAA games? We used to have real transparency and fading effects. Why?!

@LukeAlmighty I didn't pay much attention to Wilds. Saw a few screenshots from you, but it didn't really hit me until I saw proper footage. It reminded me of Fallout New Vegas, and not in a good way. Though, if I were to make a side by side comparison, I bet New Vegas would still look better.
I like how older MH titles look, and I always though "maybe I'll play one of these games some day, cause it looks fun". But Wilds instantly made me "nope". I'm at "maybe I'll play one of the older games someday, but not Wilds".

@LukeAlmighty I haven't played the series, but I've seen clips of Wilds and older titles from streamers. And Wilds looks horrible by comparison.

I think part of it might be that the previous games weren't afraid of vibrant colors, while Wilds looks like it reverted to 2006-2008 post-processing filters, a time when every game had a sickly brown color added to it.

Another part of it is probably the stupid TXAA used in everything now. Wilds looks blurry, previous titles looked sharp.

@js @LukeAlmighty
^This. Film the entire table with a high res camera, and use software to track and crop only the dice. It's even probably easier to do than a realistic looking CGI.

@LukeAlmighty Oh, I bet. Good for me that I don't use Twitter.

@LukeAlmighty Whoever actually thinks that's a definition of fascism is a moron. What if the past of a nation is characterized by democratic liberalism? Let's be honest here, USA had a better understanding and implementation of liberalism five decades ago than today.

Even if you assume the past version of the nation was just kinda bad, what if everyone in the country currently decides that they prefer that way of living anyway, even if freedoms were more limited, and they vote for it, and peacefully implement it, without infringing on the politics or freedom of other nations. How is that fascistic?

Fascism is about authoritarianism, totalitarianism, and fanatically implementing an ideology that demands reshaping and re-engineering society. Today's progressive movement is more fascistic than anything else the Western world can provide.

This is what bothers me about everyone's interpretation of Hitler and Nazism. These weren't bad because of racism. Racism was a by-product of what the movement was trying to do, which was to re-create society from the ground up in the Aryan image. THIS is what made Nazism evil. This sociopathic desire to remake humanity and play with it as if it was a Lego set.

@icedquinn It's interesting that I can read this as criticism against the left and right wing, and it still makes sense. What a world we live in.

I'll just leave this here. The results are... not good.

>Just why?
Because you're not addicted to YouTube enough.

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty
I'm pretty sure likes was on a different toggle.

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty
I checked. I think they merged getting notifications for comments, replies and likes to comments under the same toggle.

Question: Was the Lego movie good?

I just realized that, while I KNOW I did watch it, I don't remember a single thing from it, and I've never had that yearning to rewatch it, like I've had for all sorts of movie that I loved over the years.
So was the Lego movie actually sucky, but people got tricked by a few fun movements to think it was good?

@LukeAlmighty He represents their twisted stereotypes of masculinity that they somehow brought into reality.
They're scared of him because the reason he exists as he is purely because he listened to what feminists think men and toxic masculinity is, and decided that since he's a man, he must follow what they describe.

@icedquinn You just reminded me, apparently AJ had an interview with Calin Georgescu, I should probably check to see what nonsense he's been saying.

@icedquinn I guess, but it's still the media's fault for taking the bait. He was a nobody before they decided to make him the feminist anti-Christ. He fought in some kickboxing competition here, but who the fuck cares about a no-name league, of a low viewership sport, in an irrelevant country? You think that I knew his name before? Hell no. The media attacking him made him a common name. Gave him much more fame. An overcharged Straisand effect as far as I can tell.

@icedquinn
>that being said i don't waste brain cycles on the man
I honestly think nobody would have given two shits about Tate if the deranged side of the media didn't suddenly try to villainize him out of nowhere. They just gave him more and more attention, and contrarians were more than happy to make a saint out of Tate just to annoy the media.

@icedquinn That's why I'm not sure if they'd be considered guilty under US law. From the bits and pieces I've seen so far, I'm pretty sure what they did was the "lover boy" method. The women were technically free, they were doing things under their own volition, they had informed consent, etc. They were just stupid and maybe in love with the brothers to some degree.
Now excuse me while I vomit at the thought of someone being in love with Andrew Tate.
