look at it, it's a fucking LOD model

2019-11-21 20:12:48 UTC  

fucking discord is being slow

2019-11-21 20:12:52 UTC  

@Nat Only if you are able to explain why.

2019-11-21 20:13:20 UTC  

here you go friend, this is how LOD works

Stop speaking geek.

2019-11-21 20:13:32 UTC  

the further you get away from an object in a videogame, the less detailed it gets ๐Ÿ™‚

2019-11-21 20:14:08 UTC  

because if every object in the game world had the highest detail version, your computer most likely couldn't handle it. ๐Ÿ™‚

2019-11-21 20:14:17 UTC  

the further away objects, when looked at up close, look terrible. like that tree does.

less polygons, less pixels in the texture

2019-11-21 20:14:56 UTC  

you can stylise and look cartoony, but even stylised and cartoony games have LOD models, which again, look worse than the models that are up close. ๐Ÿ™‚

2019-11-21 20:15:09 UTC  

does your feminoid brain comprehend it yet, fish market? ๐Ÿ™‚

Like, I get it that stuff that's closer to the player requires a better resolution, but how does that come into play?

2019-11-21 20:19:49 UTC  

the tree just looks like a LOD model, that was literally all i was saying. it looks awful, like something you're meant to only see in the distance where you can't tell how bad it is

2019-11-21 20:20:30 UTC  

So we agree that the tree looks bad?

2019-11-21 20:20:38 UTC  

That's not the point though.

2019-11-21 20:21:17 UTC  

"And? Apple v Orange. It's like saying Picasso is worse than Michelangelo because his paintings were less realistic."

2019-11-21 20:21:22 UTC  

you didn't say it looked bad

2019-11-21 20:21:28 UTC  

you said it looks like picasso

2019-11-21 20:21:43 UTC  

or the equivalent of, rather

2019-11-21 20:22:50 UTC  

but whatever, apparently we agree <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2019-11-21 20:23:00 UTC  

there's no point arguing now

2019-11-21 20:23:18 UTC  

Fuck, turns out the addendum comment that the tree looks zero effort wasn't sent.

2019-11-21 20:23:27 UTC  

ah

2019-11-21 20:23:31 UTC  

Fuckin' computers.

2019-11-21 20:23:34 UTC  

fair enough discord is being super slow for me too

2019-11-21 20:24:14 UTC  

Still, the two games have different art styles, and with exception of the tree, there's nothing to compare, really.

2019-11-21 20:24:38 UTC  

Except the thing that really matters with games: gameplay.

2019-11-21 21:30:08 UTC  

damn, it actually looks better than I thought it would

2019-11-21 21:31:47 UTC  

it's a bit weird that what seems to be a big plot point is you looking for Eli Vance, given... yknow...

2019-11-21 22:19:30 UTC  

It's seemingly a prequel

2019-11-21 22:29:34 UTC  

Huh, they're shorter than I thought

2019-11-21 23:32:29 UTC  

it's a pre-sequel

2019-11-21 23:32:39 UTC  

after HL1, before HL2

2019-11-21 23:32:50 UTC  

15 years after HL2, they legit made HL1.5 lmao
