I just realized Haruka’s head is like 30% larger than other women in Infinite Wealth and that’s why a lot of the headwear doesn’t fit here. What the FrankerZ

@zeldatra It’s not even just the model ported from Yakuza 6 that’s like this. Her IW and Yakuza 5 models are also like this. She just has a slightly larger cranium. What the hell

I've been using GIMP for years for simple image editing. It was always a pain. It is still a pain to use. The more recent changes to dialogue windows made me crawl up the walls. F U GTK. It is a KRITA household now.

@scribus It was always kinda janky. I always credited that feeling to the fact that I'm more familiar with photoshop. GIMP has limitations but was for the simple stuff I did fine. Now all the flaws accumulated to a point that boiled over the threshold of any tolerance I had towards GIMP.

@scribus You need to open it, disassemble it, and clean it with isopropyl or distilled water.

@nerthos And I super don't want to take apart a MacBook, lol, I will never get it back together again. I totally know you're right, but a 10+year old laptop with no-doubt irritating construction just felt more like a spray isopropyl situation in the moment

I can recommend Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix. It is bloody, gory, and contains some sex scenes and nudity.

@scribus It is not without its faults. A few music choices are not so smooth and the brutality made me flinch a few times. However in general I enjoyed the story. The characters were believable and the choices they made were properly inferred by the culture and past actions. What the series did well is to reveal the exact amount of backstory and story beats to create tension and make me fear of the outcome of a few characters as death is cheap in that world. I also seen some glowing recommendations of that series and last night I was bored enough to jump into it, so much that I was on the verge of binging it way past midnight. I think it is a very good weekend binge but be aware not to start it too late in the day. Plan at least 6 hours with breaks to watch it.

My poor Blackberry is deteriorating faster than I expected. It shuts down at 40% battery charge when there is a bigger power draw. Effectively I have to keep it on the charger all the day to make sure it's not dying immediately but it also makes my situation worse because it is constantly on the charger. My search for a new smartphone has been accelerated.

https://youtu.be/G6wlpkOSLI0 Modified Chitose's basic attack to look more like something Haruka would've learned through observation. First two hits are Chitose's regular rush combo, but the third is now an edited version of Kiryu's Dragon style high kick.
about 4 months ago from web-
@zeldatra second hit is also slightly changed in that it now launches for a slightly flashier looking hit as originally it lacked impact. I'm told this makes it impossible for enemies to dodge mid combo which is probably why RGG didn't do this to begin with but they already were not dodging mid combo very much so i don't personally think it changes the balance too much

The state of Linux desktop environments for old hardware (i.e. ASUS EEE PC 1000H) is abysmal. I love KDE but the current version is unusable. The same goes for GNOME, which is furthermore hampered by being unusable because of UX reasons. Even the "classic" Gnome is horrible performance-wise. MATE is a tad better but I don't like it. The only real choice I have is XFCE. It is fine with a huge GNOME-influenced asterisk. I'm looking into Enlightenment but it also irks me a lot.
about 4 months ago from web-
@scribus I want to keep it conventionally usable. I'm not going fool hacker-mode by using one of the many tiling window managers. Right now I got Enlightenment to behave and runs well enough for now. If all my patience is gone I'll go to Windows XP.

Kaito never enters a building in Lost Judgment that requires him to take off his shoes. I learned this when his feet suddenly disappeared after I entered a shrine in Infinite Wealth.
about 4 months ago from web-
@zeldatra In the Kaito Files DLC he has socks on when he enters the Doctor's home. https://youtu.be/gAqdA1D9YJM?t=11438 I believe that they are socks and not shoes. They are very dark and featureless.
-
@adiwan His Kaito files model is stored in a separate location for whatever reason, I think I grabbed his base game model by mistake.
-
-
Also Yagami (and Kaito’s) entries in the party database seem to genuinely stem from RGG just adding protagonists sequentially with each new game going back to Yakuza 6; Kiryu is 1, Majima is 2, Yagami is 3, Ichiban is 4, and his yakuza 7 party + Masumi Arakawa fills out the remainder before we suddenly start getting LJ side characters; seems the ones who follow you around worked internally like Y7’s party members even though most of them don’t ever join you in combat.

@scribus ironically perfectly in line with a recurring theme in his first game that he is not number one despite his name implying otherwise

Weird factoids about playable Haruka:
-she is capable of doing all of Kiryu’s minigames although because she is much shorter some of her animations are a bit weird, IE she doesn’t reach the handlebars in Can Quest. Not sure how easy the fix for those things is because although I COULD tweak the animations, they’re meant to be universal so switching the party leader to anyone else breaks the animations for them.
-she CANNOT play most of Kasuga’s minigames, he takes over for those. Likely has something to do with the game switching to his cutscene model or something like that, I haven’t looked too deep into it yet.about 5 months ago from web-
-she CAN however go to Dondoko Island. The only issue I’ve found there is that she has no voice lines for greeting villagers, although she does not reuse Kasuga’s like I thought she would; she simply doesn’t say anything at all, opting to wave instead. That’s interesting as hell. Pulling audio from other Rie Kugimiya/Xanthe Hyunh projects probably fixes this.
-When taking selfies she either starts speaking in Kiryu’s voice (when in Japan) or Kasuga’s (in Hawaii). Not sure if this is fixable.

“Suck Up!” is the right way to do a generative AI-based video game. No stolen art assets, no cheap Unreal Marketplace sets with a shoddy text to speech voice actor, just a whole lot of fun attempting to gaslight a neighborhood of ChatGPTs with their own personalities.

Cities Skylines 2 is so great, I love how the entire town will all choose one road to drive on so no matter how many new highways you build they will all decide to clog up a suburban street forty miles away because they all decided that is the best way to work
about 5 months ago from web-
@scribus I tested it by building a second “express” highway that covers the same distance and takes you STRAIGHT into key locations with no exits, inspired by I-66 from Virginia to DC where the USDOT did exactly that, and nobody took it. They all preferred to drive on the original. I’m guessing the only calculation the game makes is distance traveled and not “does taking this road actually save me any time”.

Ah... Projects that search for people who can do EVERYTHING THE BEST. C++, Java, Python, Bash. Everything at expert level and at least 5 years of DOCUMENTED JOB experience. Also at least of 3 years of experience in transportation and logistics related projects. DUDE... I can rather deliver a unicorn than these specific requirements. I'd like to get into that project, however the project owner is very strict with these requirements.

One sleep later I'm not less angry and baffled by Amazon's Like A Dragon series.
about 6 months ago from web-
@adiwan I get not wanting to tell the exact same story in the exact same way again, like what's the point of that, but if it's not AT ALL the original story then what's the point of THAT?!
-
@scribus There are some clever alterations, and some character backgrounds got streamlined and more fleshed-out, which I can appreciate, as well a character that got only mentioned in the games and is somewhat integral to the story has more of a spotlight. For me it's a problem that given what we got in the live-action series is vastly different in the core of all. I can glance over some things like Kiryu emoting heavily and him not being an ordinrary money-collecting Yakuza. It makes me want to watch the adaption from 2007.

Lots of people on Twitter going CRAZY over the fact that somebody got phone camera footage of Rockstar North’s lobby from the window and wondering how he did that. You do realize that’s a video game company and not the Pentagon, right?

Like it’s a public street. The biggest threat to your wellbeing for a heist of this magnitude is campus security rolling up and telling you to knock it off.
-
@zeldatra It is as exciting as shooting a video of the entrance of a super market. What do they expect? Spoilers leaking from the offices that are behind secured doors to the lobby area by themselves? I got juicier stuff from the companies I worked for and that is already somewhat public knowledge.

Tomorrow is the day of the live-action Like A Dragon series. Definitely gonna see it with subtitles and original Japanese audio track.

@zeldatra Right! We, the fans, demand Pocket Circuit Racer! On the same note I'd like to see Kiryu giving pocket tissues to a poor soul on the public toilet, Kiryu trying to get a Bun-Chan plush from the crane game, him giving up on Mahjong, searching the city for lockers, and Kiryu getting lessons from Komaki.

@scribus yeah you’re far enough down south people would lose their banana over it. I had seen them off the north shore last two years living in the car.

@scribus AURORA BORABALIS?

Well it doesn't have a keyboard, but it does have seven times the battery, cooling fans, and a projector that I otherwise would never have even considered to include but actually does seem kind of fun https://www.unihertz.com/products/tank-3-pro
about 6 months ago from web-
@scribus A mini projector seems kinda gimmicky. I can't see myself using it more than a hand full of times during the device's lifetime. The battery size might be big enough to not to be allowed on flights.
-
@adiwan Ah... It's close to the allowable limit. Might still be a problem if other devices are on the flight as well.
-
@adiwan Yeah, I was more thinking along the lines of, "It's not a 5G with a keyboard, but it is 5G from a company that does make keyboarded phones." And it's not like I need the projector but it might be a fun party trick, lol
