Covert Ops Wizard posted:You're really wringing that engine out too. Yeah, warp speed, amirite? You're only gonna see that sort of crazy performance on a REAL MAN'S bike like my CBR250R.  That said, any faster and all my GoPro captures is a niceley exposed dashboard and a ton of blurred-as-gently caress scenery. Low light photography FTW.

Not quite motorcycles, but otherwise the right idea.

Slavvy posted:Like a gift-wrapped present for yourself I assume importing modern bikes is a nightmare in NZ as well, but just so you know, I vaguely remember raising the idea of wrapping the gixxer z3n bought/pimped with my cash in old goldwing fairings to be able to bring it home via Australia's pre-1989 import loophole. (Old bike? No expensive / complicated compliance bullshit). I still think this is a sound plan, and given how cheap bikes are in the US, SOMEONE should crate a z3n special home to the antipodes one day. ~$1500 in shipping is still a bargain when you consider the low price of ludicrous horsepower in the Bay Area.

ShaneB posted:Because it's a visually interesting (albeit derivative in some ways yes) piece that this guy storyboarded, wrote, directed, whatever, and put out to the world. It's a piece of creative output that goobs on the internet can watch and say "pfffff" I find the video's content itself derivative and insufferable - and I'm *at* art school, I should be this guy's core demographic - but to be fair to the guy, this is an entry for a filmmaking competition. I'm guessing artfully framed and edited shots of his hipster moustache, preferred brand / receptacle of coffee, and family history will go down better with the judges than, say, something like this, which I think we can all agree is a better video about motorcycles. A video that's uncompromisingly true to any niche interest and requires a deep knowledge of that interest to extract enjoyment from it is going to struggle pretty hard to attract attention outside its particular community. "My maintenance routine on a [insert CA approved bike here]" isn't going to win the dude 20 grand worth of film gear. I have no doubt he's an entitled tool IRL - god knows most of my school cohort is (myself included) - but having a go at the video for being a cliche is like tearing apart someone's job application or resume for lacking personality. He's pitching to a particular audience - a panel of commercial film judges that probably don't give a poo poo about motorcycles. Making middle of the road "inspirational" bullshit is a legitimate tactic to win the competition. Rant over. Here's a picture of the world's life-savingest pipe.

Fanelien posted:They're completely arbitrary and dumb in Victoria. One of my favourite roads has a couple marked at 30kmh where it means it due to diminishing radius or being off-camber. Yet some are marked the same with a clear sight line which can be taken at the 100kmh speed limit of the road. I find the advisory signs in Victoria to be generally consistent per stretch of road, but wildly inconsistent across the state as a whole. When riding from the Melbourne to the alps I have to remind myself that 30km/h advisories get more realistic further into mountain country.

Slavvy posted:I've always found it helpful to park the bike so the shadow is under/behind the bike instead of in the foreground. I agree w/r/t the angle, but there's a lot of things going on in that photo that make it better than the stuff Mister Speaker's shooting. - Figure to ground: the blank wall behind the bike that lets it stand out from its surroundings and gives you a sense of its overall shape. (Otherwise both the bike and its background are a jumble of complex shapes that don't give the eye somewhere to land). This is probably the most important thing and what make's speaker's photos kind of meh at the moment. - No lens distortion - the photographer's back far enough that the bike's not being warped by the width of the lens. - Height relative to the subject - the photographer's crouched down low enough that we're viewing the bike at its level rather than below or above it, where it either looks small and pathetic or fat and ungainly. - Enough space around the bike that it doesn't crowd the entire frame. Mister Speaker, if you want your photos to be more better, compose them so there's nothing intersecting their outline in the background (other bikes, cars, buildings, whatever), take a couple of steps back, and crouch lower.

Mister Speaker posted:How is it the Slayer's aesthetic any different from the 2016 game? Re: the character himself, the tactical biceps in his armour and the silly abilities like a "flame belch" are cringeworthy, but the real kicker is the doom slayer playset / lifted bro-dozer of a fortress that he gets around in. It's all so adolescent and lame. Much like that bike.

Xakura posted:Nah, it's a balancing act. 2016 was cool, eternal was cringe. Yeah, I'm not asking for a Schindler's List point and click adventure. 2016 was incredible. Eternal is like a bizarro universe version of that game where all the mastery of narrative and pacing and mood were switcheroo'd with ... I don't know quite what. Nerd fan service? It's like eternal is intentionally bad. Good shooting and nice colours, but just ugh. The awful lore dumps and catering to a very specific dweeb power fantasy of being BIG AND TOUGH and having a computer with three screens and a BAT CAVE made me embarassed to witness, let alone play, it. It's as much of a mess as the jump from starcraft to starcraft 2, but maybe there's also an element in there of how the Nolan batman movies and how they really lean into Wayne being really rich. (Which the design of that motorcycle remind me of). The more I think about it, the thing that gets my goat about that doomcycle is the same thing that gets me about doomguy having a huge flying house in eternal. It's not just a dude that has willpower any more, which I guess is the whole point of 2016's characterisation. Now he's just another rich oval office with some toys who gets his way while the game world bends over backwards to jerk off over what a RAD DUDE he is. You're playing a boomer mindset, or a billionaire appeasement simulator. But I also have an actual art degree and no hope of ever owning a house so maybe I just can't see that bike over my pretension and the chip on my shoulder. prukinski fucked around with this message at 03:12 on May 1, 2023 |

moxieman posted:I really enjoyed the gameplay of eternal but could never quite articulate what bothered me so much about the setting/story/other bullshit. You nailed it. From memory, 90% of Full Throttle is getting your sick hog to work again, which makes it the most accurate motorcycle simulator ever.
