i didn't care for ror2 solo either, but i was kind of lukewarm on the game in general (outside of the incredible look and sound of it)

Is this a different process from bump mapping? Because I'm not sure I could tell the difference.

So, okay, this made me look back over the image so I could try and figure out exactly what they did that made it look the way it does (to me, bad) and I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure it out.



So I intentionally cranked up the normal map to a silly amount to demonstrate, but I was originally convinced they didn't use a bump/normal because, while that would calculate light, just visually it doesn't look like there's any sort of geometry distortion going on. Like, none of the bricks are jutting out, it looks just like a flat plane like the pillar on the right, but with the light calculation of a normal map. I was trying to figure out what they would do to emulate that, but then that was probably just exactly what they did - use a normal map to get a bunch of shadows calculated onto the texture, baked the lighting so all of the shadows are now a part of the textures themselves, and then removed the normal map. Maybe?

I was sad about the Bloodlines 2 debacle meaning that game is probably shitcanned in the long run, but because of that I learned that The Council devs are also making a Vampire game?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJwNrKkXdhA

which, if this game is all about extremely lovely people sniping at each other and the gameplay is mainly reading people's minds and dunking on them with dialogue skills: 1) Big Bad Wolf already has experience delivering that, unlike Hardsuit trying to make a sprawling WRPG; 2) those are the best parts of Vampire anyway

They have not said their development is running into any problems yet, so maybe there will be a graphical Vampire game in 2021 after all

YakLAD runs fine on a PS4, unless there are some super graphical updates it seems pretty missable

I finished up The Pathless today, playing through the last two big areas and the boss area all in one sitting. God drat the last big area was insanely beautiful and the boss fights were phenomenal.

I've just upgraded from a PS4 to a PS5 since completing LAD and I was waiting for the next gen update before loading it up, and it turns out, it doesn't matter

Sorry to hear it. For all the mistakes my parents made in retrospect, putting that kind of pressure on me was one thing they always blessedly stayed well away from.

My 12 year old honestly cares more about his grades than I do. He's gotten one C his whole life and it tore him up more than it did his parents. We've always told him as long as he does his best work we'll accept whatever grade he gets. Seems to work out so far.

Honestly, I have no idea. I have other saves from the PS4 that transferred just fine, but I also understand that Mile Morales saves from PS4 wouldn't transfer to PS5 either.

If it worked fine it wasnt a native ps5 game probably, or was it?

Ps5 has a different save file structure than ps4 and sega doesnt want to give a poo poo to bridge it

Numerous studies have shown that if adult role models (teachers, parents, etc) respond positively to effort, that has a much better result on the child's performance than if they respond positively to results so it sounds like you're doing a good job on that front

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

It's also better for the self-image. Consistently putting in your best effort is much easier than succeeding 100% of the time, and much less stressful.

My son also has some sort of perfectionist disorder thing? I'm not sure of the name for it, but he expects perfection out of himself in everything and physically and mentally beats himself up when he falls short. He's improved over time and therapy, and no longer hits himself thankfully.

I want to replay the original ff7, I'll buy it on steam for that. I owned the original pc version back in the day. Can someone recommend mods to improve the experience? I'm asking more about graphics/sound improvements than anything else, but I'm open to 'you must get the <thing> mod' if something is super good.
