For example, if you get that eyebrow movement wrong, your hyper-realistic thang will also seem wrong to the viewer.

It's in the fiddly bits.

I am not too interest in realism, honestly. So long as basic principles of consistency and function are followed, and I like the art, it's fine.

doors come in 2 types

hollow and solid core

solid core doors are quite expensive, but they block sound, are more durable, and largley better built

hollow core are cheap as shit

For example, before I had a voltage stabilizer for my entire house, I did end up causing my phone's battery to swell up like a balloon.

Amen: The Awakening was a first-person shooter developed by Cavedog Entertainment. It was to be the first FPS by Cavedog. 60% completed, it was cancelled in 2000 for a variety of reasons, one of which being that its overall scope and proprietary game engine was far too ambitious, given computer hardware of the time.

I can't sympathise with the guns and freedom linkage, since it doesn't apply to our society. But, if they take away internet or shopping here, I'd be ticked off.

Guns is for hunting mostly

But people do use it for other things

#

Of course

But they are even targetting hunters so.

#

Fun times

celest musk

there's two kinds of hunters tho

#

those who consider it "fun" and do it as hobby, and those who are necessary to control wildlife population

summer cedar
#

Easy fix. All hunters shall now be mandated to hunt for animal population control only, and they must have fun. That's an order!

mild gust
#

It's supposed to be pretty regulated here in general

#

Can only kill so much per season etc

summer cedar
#

Is it mandated to have fun?

mild gust
#

No

summer cedar

That's the important part.

#

Ah, bad rules then.

mild gust
#

People come all over the world to hunt here.

Many Americans

Can't get rid of the 'for fun' group, if you don't incorporate fun into the humdrum.

Recently someone got caught trying to net fish in the lakes though

summer cedar

Better amend the fishing laws too, before those fishermen go crazy from a lack of fun.

summer cedar

It's not something I thought of before, but given I want to reduce the bouncing noise against tiles as much as possible, I ended up picking the info up. 🙂

mild gust
#

Lighter better?

summer cedar
# mild gust Lighter better?

It's more about the material.
The lightest ones, around 80g, are made of PVC and that means, they cause a solid thok sound when hitting a ceramic tile.

#

An actual cricket ball is made of cork, string, and leather, weighing in around 180-200g.

#

That might make less noise, but I am sure it'd break the cement off my wall. 😄

#

Foam is around 40g per ball, and is nice for catch practice, but I don't like the sound it makes while bouncing. Seems a trifle loud; softer than PVC, but still loud.

#

There was this amazing cloth ball that I had, when I was a kid living in Pune city. It made nary a sound when I bowled with it over marble tiles.

#

I can't find that anywhere on the internet.

#

'Cloth ball' doesn't yield any results, other than oversized volleyballs for kids.

#

Then, you have shady sellers like this, hawking plastic balls as made of rubber.

This dude is not even making the effort to look legit.

That's a squeeze ball for therapeutic and general stress relief purposes.
