Shit, you are right about the tires. I feel kind of stupid now. I ask you now (because of my utter unitrests to start to google anything right now.) How you guys mark the tire sizes? Like we have something like 175/65/14. 175 mm wide, profile is 65% and 14 inch diameter.

Ratchets tough, never once given even a tough about the size. It was just what fit in what ever bullshit hole it needs to fit and hopefully gave enough leverage. Sockets are in mm and those were the ones I usually needed to worry about.

Robbins and Lawrence is familiar name from school, but never really given any tought about them, nor i dont think im going to realistically ever travel to Vermont(?)

Born and raised on a farm, fixing farm equipment, did work on a autoshop and later gig work as welder in larger refineries and paper mills. Got my CNC operator licences too.

Only times i have seen inches in use was when i was moonlighting at the saw mill. We talked about two by fours, but the saw was calibrated with mm (50×100mm/ so it was not even the close to inches). Oh and my friends shitty transam that had the assbackwards lug nuts and was a pain to find right kind of hoops for.

If you want rest of my life too, i decited at some point i dont want travel for work and went to a culinary school where i meadured everything in grams and dl (also met my wife there.) Decited the pay was not worth of the hours and studied programming, but job market kicked my ass. Went in to sales and later found a company where i was able to use my culinary, programming amd sales history and now i have 8to16 job and my own team.

Never seen a lathe that has not used mm. Even the old ones lathes and colum drills from the 50’s i have seen use mm. My home town does every august work shows with old machines like steam engines, tractors and locomotives and as far as i can remember even those have both mm and inches in the levers and knobs. I think the closest i have seen with the old machines using imperial are some cars with mph meters. (Favorite being old marshall tractor with shotgun starter, having very optimistic meter going up to 100 mph.)

So… whats going to happen now?

What does it matter? I could say any one of the +190 countries and the answer would be more or less the same.

Uh? Done. What happens now?

Easy.

Can you quickly calculate how many gallons of water receptacle with dimensions of 5 inch x 3 feet x 1 yard can hold? Extra points if you can also calculate how many pounds it weight when filled.

In game design what artists do is more than just graphics. There are minute details in characters that effect the story amd what ai overlay dont know have importance. Like scars or whenether the character uses makeup or colours their hair or something. These are storybeats and i dont really care if people want to see them or not. Some people skip the dialogue and its their decition.

Then the graphic artists and level designers work together with enviromental clues like is that wall climpable, or is that obstacle breakable. Also level design has often designed breadcrumbs like lights flickerin on a door or paint/blood splashes with vibrant colours to show where to go. If the ai starts to change these things they might become hard to see or overly bright wich in turn makes the game worse and player does not necessarily even know why it feels bad.

Maybe the right word is that something that sees only 2d render of the game and enchances it just how they see best at the moment lacks the undertstanding of the artistic intent.

Dunno whats the beef between you guys, but its healthy to see and interract with people who have different opinions than you.

Blocking people just because you think they are douchebags because they have different opinion just makes you live in a bubble where you hear only things that reinforce your own views.

This is first time i have heard compelling and sensible argument for farenheit.

I kind of agree with you.

It does not look bad. What im worried is that the ai cant keep up and will end up changing the look of the characters and i hate that it will take the agency from the artists.

Opposide for me. I realised i enjoy playing games much more than making them.

But im happy for you that you found a thing you can be passionate about and spend time working on it too.

You clearly dont know enough about how pipeline to make good 3d effects goes.

You cant just toss enough money and time to make good CGI scene. The director needs to understand how the effects work and how design the scene with that in mind. There is huge amount of work to make sure the real parts in the scene work with the CGI parts. It needs just as much planning, story boarding and collaborations between the different groubs than any other special effect shot needs. The lighting needs to match, the eye lines of the actors need to match. Any time when there is contact between real things and 3d modeled things it needs to be planned shot by shot to make it work. Even full CGI scenes need to be planned how they stransit in to ot from the real footage.

If you think special effects are just high speed pursuits or stunt men doing wire work, you really are selling the whole VFX industry short.

Ah. I feel dumb.

Were you in market for buying the car when you saw those adds? If you werent then they did not loose a sale even if you hated the add.

Can you honestly say, that if you were in really need of a car and there would be opportunity to buy a yaris with good price and it would be good fit to your needs at the moment, you would pass it just because some add you saw at some point?

Was it so effective you repeat the name of the product years later in some random discussion on the internet?

I think the adds worked pretty much as intented.

Sometimes even if you buy from different place the owner of the companies are the same. Like if you ask offers for new windows in norther europe the three biggest companies are owned by same company.

I bet i have heard the same add, even living in Finland. I live close enough to border so i get good mix of Finish, Swedish and Norwegian adds. And every single one of those are way louder than the podcast is.

I bet you were thinking about some add when writing this.

I know this is silly meme post, but somebody here needs to hear that pulling out is not a proper contraception.
