mrbig (edited ) Link Parent It doesn’t bother even when you have to retrace your steps multiple times? What about when you replay a scene? Cause I do that a lot. Maybe you’re simply a more talented player than I am.It doesn’t bother even when you have to retrace your steps multiple times? What about when you replay a scene? Cause I do that a lot.

mrbig Link Parent The differences in speed are certainly ridiculous, but Detroit’s solution is to make motions morose 100% of the time. It’s tedious and heavy-handed.The differences in speed are certainly ridiculous, but Detroit’s solution is to make motions morose 100% of the time. It’s tedious and heavy-handed.

Subjectively, black masks look cooler. Would these masks be on camera? (this is fiction, after all).
-
Why couldn't they be painted black? Safety concerns? Realism?

Comment on Tildistas in the US, who do you support in the 2020 Democratic Primary? in ~talk

Comment on IT Chapter Two - Final Trailer in ~movies
mrbig (edited ) Link I absolutely loved the first one. It’s a shame some people dismissed it just because of the jump scares. No artistic device is inherently inferior. To me, It comes very close to being a masterpiece.I absolutely loved the first one. It’s a shame some people dismissed it just because of the jump scares. No artistic device is inherently inferior.

- there are many blind programmers. I’m not saying that’s either easy nor practical
- most people are not programmers anyway
- I have used voice to text on my iPhone many times. I stopped because nowadays I write more English than Portuguese and my accent is atrocious. But it works pretty well in native language. It doesn’t beat an actual keyboard, but it’s better than the virtual one

20 years ago I saw a computer scientist on TV saying that operating systems should come up with a better way to organize and present files, something that took into consideration the files we used the most and the ones we were likely to use again. Not just a recent files menu, but some form of AI prediction that would prepare our desktops with little intervention. This, of course, didn't happen, but I think about it from time to time. I would love to have an AI that would understand my workflow and do a bunch of things for me.
This is obviously way too advanced as an answer to this thread, but I'm curious: what did you expect to already exist in the field of computer science, but simply didn't pan out?

The story of how one of the highest and poorest neighborhoods of my city remains above sea level after most of Brazil is submerged by global warming, and how the rich gentrified it, forcing the original population to live in subhuman conditions and creating a serious social problem. There’s a lot more to that. It’s a big universe.

The guy fits the role like a glove.
Anyway, could you elaborate on your position?

Comment on What creative projects are you working on? (July 2019 edition) in ~creative
So you did replay, just not individual scenes.
I’m bummed down by some of the mechanics but I’ll probably finish it this week. The story really is pretty cool.
