Happy birthday Kurt Russell!
Back to Popstars, can anyone explain how was the AR being done in the performance.
zky says he watched it live, so it's not something being added in post.
Doesn't look like something being beamed to special glasses, since the public isn't wearing these.
Doesn't look like a Miku type thingy, since it has 3D-ness during the camera flyby, and also is done in daylight with good contrast.
The fact that AR is reflected onto floor just... well, floors me.
That dragon is also something else, casting real(?) shadow onto the onwatchers...

nono it same AR as the dragon, they add the 3D kdas in post
i just saw it live cos they had giant screens lol
for the dragon shadows i believe they might've done a 3D model of the stadium over which to cast the fake shadow the dragon would project. similar to the reflection effects of the KDA members
it's all really well done

Base is taking (some) form!
I found a Lava Geyser in the Jellyshroom Caves below, so I built a Thermal Reactor there and built a line of power connectors to tap into that energy from my base above. With that new permanent influx of energy that also works during night, I could now build a Moonpool, and can use the Scanner Room without it sucking all my energy reserves dry (especially during nighttime...).
The Multi-purpose room in front was what I started with. It basically has all my stuff. A bunch of lockers, a fabricator, modification station, power cell and battery rechargers, radio and medkit fabricator. Will likely deconstruct and rebuilt a lot of the second floor stuff until I'm happy with it.
Next steps will be building a Prawn Suit, gathering materials for upgrading my Seamoth depth modul (300m is not deep enough anymore!) and looking for more Cyclops fragments.

how these AR things go is they have a special camera with previously choreographed movements down a set path that in this case the artists have to also play with
so in the bit soyeon is rapping with her akali double she looks at a position they've rehearsed the character is gonna be at
anyways, this camera has the ability of recording its position data and feeding it to a fake camera in some rendering software that then processes it and uses it to calculate where to place characters in relation to this data. this is then rendered on top of the live footage. they've also rehearsed this to make sure the video they've rendered has matching lighting conditions, has all the fancy floor reflections, etc. but it is live, and so the position the camera guy is is the position the fake camera is as well
this stuff requires a lot of rehearsal and planning, specially at the crazy complexity they were working with. which kind of explains when it broke a little bit
this is all post production so as a live spectator you don't really see anything, but they were broadcasting it on giant screens on top of the stage so it was still hype as hell
there's some more cool insights here on how they did the dragon thingie: /dev: Summoning the Worlds Dragon – Nexus
If Vespiria feels dated, I'll play it before Berseria.
And the 999/VLR talk is just reminding me how much I hate that ZTD is the """"""""conclusion"""""""" we got.

Back to videogames *cough* zkylon The character Kai'sa feels very passive/sad or in the background a lot, while the other three are more forward or aggressive. Does it have to do with her role/lore in the game?
Also her vocalist Jaira Burns isn't featured as much, although I heard she co-wrote the lyrics and is the background voice.

Tales form Subnautica:
I now have a Prawn Suit and a Cyclops submarine.
My Seamoth can go 900 meters deep.
I scanned a friggin Reaper up close \o/. (Stasis Rifle is the best thing ever)
Found a ton of new Biomes in the deeper depths alongside new big creepy fishes. Though I'm getting used to it.
Encountered and scanned (thanks again Stasis Rifle!) a Juvenile Ghost Leviathan - I do not want to know how big a grown one is.
I guess next up I'll build some upgrades for the Cyclops, mine some stuff with the Prawn suit and enter that one Alien Research facility I found.

Thank you!
Just got an email in, Devotion (next game from the devs of Detention) will be launching on February 19th
Happy bday, luv.Thank you!
Happy birthday from me as well Kurt Russell
Just tried the resident evil 2 demo and I'm very surprised by the performance. Maybe it's because there are no open spaces but with high/medium settings I got steady 60 fps on my GTX 970!
Also the game looks great, the correct mix of TPS aiming/controls and the inventory management and puzzles like the old survival games. Basically what The Evil Within did

Subnautica soundtrack is very good.
The first 1 in particular is just so extremely eerie.

happy birthday bumbo
next year come to buenos aires and i'll get u drunk beyond repair
there's two answers to this that have been going around and i think they're both true at the same time
1- kai'sa as a character previously to kda was already pretty bland and unremarkable. ppl had been pretty critical of her design since release, her story of being trapped in the void (league's lovecraftian monster dimension) for 10 years and only surviving through wits, luck and finally that bodysuit that's a living alien monster thing, aren't really reflected neither on her looks (cos she still has that dumb untarnished perfect face) or her personality (she's randomly super literate and isn't scarred or traumatized in the slightest, which is weird considering the effect the void had on other characters in the game), this translated into her kda design also being the blandest and most forgettable, specially compared to three of the strongest personalities and base designs in the game. a lot of people were like they should've put katarina or something instead
2- i heard from some people that k-pop bands tend to have a member that's usually doing less vocals because they're the 'dancer'. they tend to fade into the background a little more and be less relevant compared to the rest. i can't verify this cos i don't know much about kpop but that kind of matches kai'sa's role in the video perfectly

yeah most definitely (tho it doesn't come close to ziggs not even appearing in the trailer for the odyssey skinline despite being one of the few that got one of those skins)

An "interview": Interview: Inside K/DA - Universe of League of Legends
And: their official K/DA backgrounds: https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/kda
Basically it says:
Ahri: Lead Vocalist
Evelynn: Lead Vocalist
Kai'Sa: Lead Dancer:
Akali: Rapper
And the interview confirms Kai'Sa is the lead dancer and supposed to be the one designing the choreography for the fictional group.

I was away for a few days without internet access, and I thought when I returned home, Epic would have bought Valve and Microsoft by then.
I'm disappointed.

Anyway, Happy Birthday, Kurt Russell !
Have a great day!

And, some late well wishes to you, AHA-Lambda as well!
I hope you ate a lot of cake, and got many Epic Games Store games gifted to you.

If they are skimming on games, they will get less traffic on the store, less eyes on the store.a few choice quotes from the podcast Sergey was on (via daxy who doesn't like us anymore because he never visits
And especially if they are skimming on community features like Forums, activity feed or Chat. THOSE community features are the reason people have Steam open all the time without playing a game.
And they are thinking of doctoring reviews (either by skimming the extremes or only letting people randomly review a game with a pop-up and never when they want to do it). That plus the review opt-in is just a general big fuck you to consumers.

yup .... it's pretty much "everything for the developers, nothing for the consumers"
like genuine hostility towards people buying games ... where a customer is "a scumbag until proven otherwise"
great business plan there
So hmm, maybe I'll use MC to remember the games I played this year? Not like I post a lot elsewhere.
-Finished Anodyne.
Cool Zelda like, weird as hell, you go from the forest dungeon to the water dungeon to CHILD MURDER DUNGEON.
Puzzles everywhere, all the time, but not frustrating, just enough to get a lot of variety.
Does not overstay its welcome too, interested in the next Anodyne, in 3D.
-Tried The Vagrant.
Looks fucking amazing, plays decently well for a brawler, has little RPG elements and big breasted waifus (those designs seriously - a bra and assless chaps for the main character?).
I'll play more later.
-Tales of Vesperia.
Yup, it's a pretty good JRPG. It's also the last of its kind with an overworld and ridiculous missable side quests.
Gorgeous with a copious amount of Reshade (else it looks like you dropped your glasses in mashed potatoes), lovely cast but combat feels old. It may get faster (especially with animation cancelling in this version), but that does not stop characters from constantly missing their shots or plain hit the wrong side because they get stuck in a virtual line when they attack.
Still playable, but damn if the franchise didn't became better after that... and worse in some ways too, with extra RNG to regenerate your TP instead of... basic combos? I don't know, there's a lot of work to be done for gameplay in this series.

They just come across as elitists who think their customers are trash human beings and want to have nothing to do with them. They don't want to make forums because they can be toxic, the solution could be to heavily moderate the Forums, but that costs money and you have to interact with those filthy peasants!
we take your money but fuck off after you paid.

yeah, pretty much ....
it's basically "please buy our games, we need the money ... epic are giving us a better cut, so please everyone buy our games there ... ok?" ... and then when you already buy the game it immediately shifts to "we don't owe you anything ... don't contact us, we'll contact you ... don't even speak to us ... we made the game, you bought it, this is where our relationship ends"
well guess what - you can't have both ...
Mhm, Wishlisted Anodyne. Never heard of it before or found it in discovery queue either. Weird.
I was also thinking ReShade would be appropriate for Vespiria given all that bloom and blur, do you know what version of DirectX it is using?
The store page of Artifact now shows the recent review score. It is 48% for recent reviews, vs. 53% for all reviews.

I plonked it in DX10+ in reshade and it worked, so I guess just that.
I made a little comparison:

Maybe you ticked the Steam option that hides playtime. I use that and I don't show up on the list.
