Rabs

The thing with racing games is that games mechanics wise they are mostly the same.. Accelerate, break and turn... I mean there are other types but the basic racing game hasnt changed much in that way.. This is what they look like today. You can also do other things in these games like mod your cars and stuff like that.

I have played them most of my life.. I stopped for about a decade or so as I just got bored with it, at that point I had been a game designer and could not turn off my analytical side and would just internally critique them while playing and think what I would have done instead.. But sometime late last year I got a Nintendo Switch which I have the odd session but nothing like I used to do.. Even if I wanted too my hands wont take it any more so I just do it on occasion now.

Of course they can.. But this is meant to be a discussion.. Ive heard all the nonsense slated at video games and most of it is unsubstantiated nonsense... So I genuinely wanted to know if its just that or he has some other reason... Whats the point of people just stating an opinion without stating why when asked? Theres no discussion there and isnt that the point of being on here? Its not a particularly complex subject to be honest.

Again.. Why do you say that? I have many years experience in the games industry and would like to know why you think that.. Id say if you cant give me an answer its you that doesnt understand... Most of the negativity around gaming is BS...

Why do you say that?

https://thejhsshow.com/articles/modal-effects-a-new-pedal-format How It Works The Modal Effects modular distortion gets its name from the pedal’s layout. You have a base unit (a skeleton, so to speak), with six different ‘mods’ you can place in any order that you like. Jeremy and Dallas were inspired by pedals like the Angry Driver, because they loved experimenting with putting the two effects in different orders in the chain. The pedal itself essentially functions as a miniature pedal chain. Depending on what order you stack the mods onto the base, it changes the sound/tone. Just like on a normal pedal board, the signal follows the signal chain from right to left. The mods attach to the base magnetically, which makes it easy to plug in the mods but difficult to accidentally knock them out of place with your foot during an especially exciting solo/dance number. (I don’t know what you do during your live sets, and honestly, that’s your business.) The Modal Effects modular distortion is essentially one base with six interchangeable mods (which adds up to more than 100 combinations). The mods are as follows: Fuzz: a classic fuzz that offers a great balance of crunch and a rich, full sustain Distortion: an iconic ’70s metal distortion with a harmonically rich, compressed sound Overdrive: a clean sounding overdrive with boosted mids, very reminiscent of the Tube Screamer Boost: a clean boost with a warm sustain that’s great for pushing your guitar signal Low-pass Tone: a versatile, low-pass filter that works well with all of our Mod combinations Mid-scoop Tone: a combination of low-pass and high-pass filters that create a mid boost effect

Yeah I thought so too.. Seems like a good idea to me,.. Found a short demo

This is what a bike racing game used to look like 😄

The main reason I posted this is not because of the violence, that just happened to be what that game was about. It was more about just how incredible those graphics look. We are like a step away from full photo realism.. And not that I expect many people to get this but doing all that detail and lighting and physics in real time is pretty amazing. As for games and violence.. A lot of games are not violent at all and actually help with things like eye/hand coordination. Games are meant to be entertainment like a film.. And like a film you can choose to watch a violent film or not, you also choose to play that sort of game.. Or not. No one is being forced to play anything 🙂 If there are people who somehow think those games have anything to do with real life (however detailed they are).. Well id say they probably have other issues which have nothing to do with computer games. People getting addicted to them. Well we are human, it happens.. Its more than likely in a lot of cases that someone who actually develops an issue with that has an addictive personality, and if it wasnt the game it would just be something else. How about this.. And this is a year old now.. Graphics have only gotten better since

Yeah.. Apparently Japan is Gibsons second biggest market after the US.... So while im not saying for sure as I have not seen the guitar, having Japanese on the paperwork is not unheard of.

I have seen stuff like that before for the Gibsons made just for the Japanese market like this Tak Matsumoto DC

Honestly, my biggest worry is the neck and pickup planes... I have some ideas on how I will do it but am not 100% sure.. I may just have to do a practice run first. And the carving.. Using the templates is the easy bit.. Getting the right carve after that is the hard bit.. Im fairly confident though 🙂

Thats odd.. Why did you post that?

I dont know if we have many gamers on here so if anyone will be interested but I saw something today that really shocked me.... I have been playing games since I was about 8 and was even in the games industry for about 15 years.. I have experience. And yet while I have watched graphics get better over the years I wasnt quite ready for this... So this is what a first person shooter looked like when I started playing PC games Today this is what we have.. Its from a new PC game coming called Unrecord.. Just holy sh*t.. Wow

No its cool.. I really am genuinely frustrated with the last of progress.. I know its my build, I can do what I want. But life just loves getting in the way. And its always when I have something else to do 😄

Its frustrating for me too.. Believe me....

Sadly nothing new yet.. A mixture of physical issues and just other stuff that gets in the way. Hopefully I will be more free next week.

Hello... Well theres to very easy things you can do.. Lower the high E side of the pickups. You could also fine tune the pole pieces (the screws on the top of the pickup).. But its simpler to try and simply lower that side of the pickup first.. Just a turn or two and try and strum and listen. Hope that helps

Cool.. Does it still have the robot tuners? If it wernt for the wide necks I would almost certainly have bought a 2015 (and replaced the tuners probably immediately 😄 ). In fact I see them on Reverb all the time but know I wont get on with that neck (and yes I did try a few when they came out).. But lovely guitars apart from that. Its one thing I do remember about the 2015s. I dont know what they were doing extra but the fit and finish of every one I saw was absolutely flawless.

More AI generated music.. God only Knows but if The Beatles had sung it...

I would guess its for the same people who pay 10k+ for a guitar... Whats another grand or so to protect your precious..... Still crazy for a case though.... In saying that, if you were that bothered surely youd just buy a flight case and be done with it?

Yours for a measly $1215 😮 I didnt even know they made cases that expensive.. Thats as much as a LP Studio.. https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Product/ASCLTCASE-LP/ASCLTCASE-LP

Yeah but look at those designs.. The corvus is one weird looking guitar and the Firebird X was awful and packed full of useless electronics.. That one I posted above the Less Paul.. Now that is nice. Its like a short horn double cut LP.. I do wonder if they had not put all those electronics in it and just sold it as a normal guitar if it would have done better?
