  • Well I’ll be darned, they are different.

    I found the original keynote from the event, relevant slide is toward the bottom

    It’s all a bit tangled up now, but the second set of pictures in the article shows the current in-game models and then the remade models, where you can clearly see the difference in the hair. The first set (the one in question here) shows the remade one, and then the remade-remade one with the muted horn texture.

    I remembered this particular Au Ra from the slideshow about 4 months ago, so when I noticed the distinct hair being the same in both and found the original slides I tunnel visioned on that. But in truth, what we are seeing is a second pass after player feedback from the event I incorrectly believed the shots were from.

    I apologize for not being as in-tune with the game’s news as I had assumed. I do not play an Au Ra myself so I had been kind of tuning out the drama around the scales and their luster. But it (and the changing of the glowing eye rings) has been an ongoing pain point for many. People get really attached to their look

  • Ah, I do see what you mean upon closer inspection. You have a keen eye

    However, this is most likely due to the author grabbing the two images from a different source which subjected them to different compression artifacts. They definitely both are the same model, even if the actual image files are not 1:1

    I play the game and have followed these updates as they came out, so I was able to tell very quickly from looking at the hair and eyes. But don’t take my word for it: I quickly tracked down the actual before/after shots. Sorry for reddit link

  • That’s because it actually is the exact same image

    Whoever wrote this article messed up and pasted the same image twice for the Au Ra race, which is the first one shown here. The actual before and after shots are pretty obvious

    Edit: this is not true, I was recalling a different event. Links are down the thread

  • So, this is not a picture of a place. It is a computer generated graphic of an island which was made for the music video.

    The reason you’re seeing it now is simply because the person demonstrating the load time discrepancy chose to use this video in particular. The video was most likely chosen arbitrarily and due to it being popular (270m views and counting)

  • Beach jogging is actually pretty bad in the long term, as one leg is always going to be uphill compared to the other. Leads to injury. Same thing happens if you run on the side of a crowned road instead of on a flat sidewalk

  • I’ve noticed a common trend among people with laughably bad opinions, which is that they are also incapable of presenting coherent arguments to defend their point of view when called out. Do you care to comment on this phenomena?

  • Close! It’s a literal equivalence, which is why your take is so bad.

    Oh but since we’re talking fallacies, refresh my memory, which is the one where you call everyone who disagrees with you a pedophile? It’s on the tip of my tongue…an abdominal attack or something right?

  • Correct, OP does not engage with any form of technology that facilitates crime.

    Thank god for OP’s grandchildren, who run his accounts by occasionally asking his opinions and posting them without his knowledge, thereby allowing us these glimpses into his perfectly moral mind

  • I quit smoking via vaping a few years ago. Idk how easy it is now, I know some laws have been passed regarding the availability of different juices.

    But essentially it just gives you more control. You can gradually step down your nicotine content over the course of like a year or more if you want. At the end I had a bottle of 3mg/ml and a bottle of 0, and I would mix them to get even smaller amounts. Eventually you’re just not using nicotine anymore.

    For some people tho it goes the other way. Lots of times it ends up being the case that nicotine consumption goes way up, or people end up vaping + still smoking anyway. Which is…pretty bad lol

    So yeah vaping can be a very convenient way to quit. It worked for me. But there’s a reason doctors don’t recommend it

  • I felt somewhat disappointed with the manga ending back when I read it. I even remember reading some quotes from the author where he said he thought he “didn’t execute it well”, or something to that effect. It all just left me feeling a little deflated.

    This was a very difficult ending to pull off in the best of circumstances, and then it unfortunately had some problems with pacing and clarity. Nothing too major, really, but just enough to make everything feel a little off. It wasn’t a great way to feel at the end of an otherwise 10/10 story.

    However, I am extremely pleased with the anime ending! I felt like they totally addressed the issues I encountered. The pacing in general felt so much better, and in particular I think the rework of the conversation between Eren and Armin was excellent.

    I think this is the best version of the story. I’m glad it came out the way it did and that people are receiving it positively

  • Reading other articles it seems like no, he was generally very positive and encouraging to others online. The impression I get (from 10 minutes of reading, not saying this conclusively) is that he was not overtly hostile whatsoever to trans people.

    There are enormous social pressures in small conservative towns, and the man was 63. I can imagine life leading someone otherwise pro-trans into being a republican preacher in that environment. An awful tragedy

  • I do both! Tea as well.

    Coffee I like when I’m sitting at a desk doing busywork for a long time. Tea I like for many reasons, it has more vitamins and minerals than coffee, more flavor diversity, and anti inflammatory properties.

    Caffeine pills I take in the morning if I just want to get moving quickly, and I also use them as a pre-workout instead of those expensive powders.

    I could just use (and have just used) pills instead of coffee, and it works just fine. However, they literally just hit different. The pills are all at once and then it wears off slowly, coffee lets you ramp up at any speed and maintain at any level. It’s mostly just preference, but being able to spread out the same amount of caffeine is very handy. I would be interested in slow-release caffeine pills, although I imagine these would be very dangerous for some people.
