Exactly, ear in particular was what I thought about. There are very tiny bones in there. I’m pretty sure they didn’t replicate a functional human ear, so those have no impact on anything.
Many bones in the hand and foot are also locked in place together, so modeling each one seems, well, I don’t think it’s a waste of time, but at this point you’re making an art performance.
It’s clear they made this weird on purpose but still, so many questions…
the robot hangs suspended from the ceiling as its limbs twitch and kick, marking what the company claims is a step toward its goal of creating household-helper robots
Oh yeah, definitely a huge step in that direction…
Clone Robotics designed the Protoclone with a polymer skeleton that replicates 206 human bones
That’s all of the bones of an human adult. Yeah, I’m sure absolutely all of them were necessary.
Sure, but I think the key word here is quietly.
They’ll try to hide the most embarrassing stuff, long after the fact, but I wouldn’t expect them to comment publicly on it. It’d be bad for their business.
But Groobo’s record is still listed as the “Fastest completion of an RPG videogame” by Guinness World Records, which has not offered a substantive response to the team’s findings (Guinness has not responded to a request for comment from Ars Technica).
Of course they didn’t. Guinness has never cared about being correct. People pay Guinness to have a record listed. The record holders are the Guinness records’ customers.
I don’t want him to find it because I want the over-the-top movie dramatization of that guy’s descent into madness.
He can have part of the movie revenues, if he’s smart.
I have a sign that says “Shout to enter”.
That definitely sounds like usual Ubisoft meddling. Hell, at that time Guillemot’s good friend Hascoet must have been in full directing power, shitting all over the Assassin’s Creed creative team’s decisions. While the company protected his sexual and moral harassment gig.
I can’t care less about Ubisoft being sold to whoever. Guillemot and his asshole clique don’t deserve shit.
First thing first, rename the country as American America of America.
The YouTube owner explains that normal non-skippable in-stream ads are limited to just 15 seconds in length.
This is bullshit. I don’t use an ad-blocker and often get a full minute of ad. And an extra minute if I happen to pause the stream for like 30 seconds and come back to it.
The ones that leap out of water to get you on world 3 were already quite stressful.
That fish didn’t terrify me near as much as the angry sun though. Back then I often did “almost complete” runs where I’d just kept a lakitu cloud to skip the sun level from world 8.
On the part about Cappy tricks, not sure why the author forgot all 3D Mario games have always included more or less complex move tricks/combos.
Mario 64 already had triple jump, wall kicks, diving/sliding, long jumps, side jumps…
Super Mario Sunshine added a lot of complex moves with FLUDD, and even a limited way to make your own platforms. Odyssey just does it a lot better IMO. I kinda hated Sunshine Yoshi.
And it’s not like the more complex combos are required to finish the game. Occasionally you need one for 100% completion, but most of the time they’re just cool tricks to pull off to reach a place faster, or just grab a few coins.
“We’re only asking about those outrageous monetization schemes so we know how much you hate them! We definitely didn’t consider them!”
Yeah, testing the waters.
Further clarification from Steam :
I do not have a sex crime. I’m not going to go into specific charges and such or tell you the story. What I did was wrong and that’s all you need to know.
She’s right, this is not really anyone’s business.
According to the announcement, the other developer quit game development some time ago and isn’t active anymore.
Now, now, I know its human costume is not perfect yet, but just don’t look into its eyes and you should be OK.
It’s all about pride and accomplishment, you know.
I’m so glad none of the games I care for went for a free to play/microtransaction model. Or maybe including these into their core design is a big part of what makes them unappealing to me.
Wasting meta’s resources on a deserted wasteland absolutely nobody wants or cares about? I think I don’t mind that actually.
Can’t disagree with that.
Depends. Microsoft might be to blame indeed but I’ve seen several people saying Ubisoft has a habit of using undocumented non-public API.
If they’re not supposed to use it to begin with, it’s their fault when it doesn’t work anymore. That would certainly explain why it happens to almost nothing but Snowdrop powered games.
I have literally no idea how that came to your mind immediately. It’s very funny to me that it did though.
