you’re getting there with the colours, but that last image is waaaay blown out in the reds.

ac2 and co are all really nice places to just… exist in. makes sense they got the tourism modes added on. i heard somewhere that they took the most detailed scans ever made of venice at the time, and that they were used in city planning after the games.

that guy is definitely a case of incorrect texturing; that’s what happens when you point both eyes in a wrap-around head texture in the same direction. it’s why most head textures are cross-eyed, or rather, why most close-up head models have separate eyes <insert the horrifying ac unity floating eyeball picture>.

what is it with the recent influx of people who only posts “i’m gay and everyone around me fucks”? am i the only one noticing this? violet vibes, but at least they stick around for a while.

same, i found the perspective shifts interesting in bf but when you know it has no resolution there’s no purpose.

also do you think it feels dead because you… looked at it with the saturation all blown out first? :P jokes aside ac2 is a bit dream-like in its presentation so while i don’t see the piss-filter thing i do concede that the palette is uh… soft. the two spinoffs are more bright, if i remember correctly, but then again it has been almost 15 years since i played them.

nice, but it has the same problem every flag depicting a stylised earth has: that could be any planet.

architects, i think it was. so yes.

twatt! and the dirty scone.

lots of different warm ochre tones on italian buildings of the time:

if most of these look the same then i think that’s just you.

i went back to look at screenshots and honestly i don’t see it.

oof, that colour looks way oversaturated. i found the colour grading of ac2 to be really nice, it really gave the cityscapes personality. try toggling reshade in different places.

and yeah people hated the modern day story beats and arbitrary gating, especially in ac4 and forward when desmond wasn’t the main character anymore. makes sense the remake stripped all that out.

IT’S GONNA MOOOOOVE

stuff like this makes me so happy i live in a housing co-op. we had to raise rent by 5% a year due to rising energy costs, but that allowed us to put 50kW more solar on the roof and start drilling for a geothermal heat pump.

we used this logic on smoking and it’s working pretty damn well so far.

valve float can happen for all sorts of reasons; revving too high, bad lubrication, cam geometry, wrong springs… but if it has float now and didn’t before then yeah it’s definitely wear.

and chickens

he does but only sunshine and food for the people comes out of it.

the decadent capitalist ways of *checks notes* cold war-era romania.

i mean they’re there…

i just do not understand that channel at all.

oh no i also like it! it’s the entire purposeful ritualistic thing that makes it good. i did that a lot when i was younger. and that’s why vinyl still makes sense for the experience. but the op was all about the quality, and there’s nothing special about the quality of vinyl other than nostalgia.

did you touch the computer today? did you make it happy?
