Truthspoon Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) I got the choice of a free Ubisoft game with the purchase of a Samsung 970 pro hard-drive. I chose Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Haven't played it yet...... trying to finish Half Life Alyx in VR but I've got to the bit with Jeff (horrible blind mutant who vomits acid over you, no fun being subjected to that in VR) and am just too scared to continue playing so I'm kind of in gamer limbo now.

Like most Ubisoft games these days, Odyssey has some wokeism that's a bit annoying, but you can choose to avoid most of it depending on what dialogue options you choose when talking to people. There's not that much BS though so it's not too bad. I don't have VR, but I like Half-Life. I should check some gameplay out just see some of the story between Half-Life and Half-Life 2.

Trigger Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Is this beauty? Does it always have to be a natural thing for it to count? Shanghai Nanpu Bridge and approach roads - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as discussed already in the thread, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. People will all have different opinions on what they find to be beautiful, so I think the point is more about whether beauty is important to people in general. Nice engineering though!

Moonlight Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) what we describe as beautiful has most of the time to do with sacred geometry - which all nature is created from the more a human face is in the golden ratio - the more "beautiful the impression from it is sacred geometryyy is also healing to watch Edited August 27, 2021 by Moonlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an uphill battle as maths and geometry was never my strongpoint. That's my weakpoint when it comes to programming too. I have been studying game development over the last few years, and I can make nice looking environments and add basic gameplay features, but the maths is still something that gives me a headache. I'm slowly enduring with it though, and I shall be where I want to be soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlight Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 of course artists like Leonardo da Vinci knew about this and they always placed the important things into the golden point where the eye looks first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaticWorld Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Is it possible to be a simp for a voice? If so then I have no shame in saying DoA's voice is beautiful to me. Her diction is amazing considering that she grew up with a speech impediment too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Owl Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I love it when you can get on a bus in Birmingham, travel to the outskirts, walk a short distance and see things like this: Bartley Reservoir, Bartley Green. Not a bad little afternoon out, lovely tranquil place. This, to me at least, is what I consider beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ancient public footpaths and bridleways that allow one to travel from county to county across majestic countryside safely and freely are great. I wonder how long they'll last as TPTB start to target the geenbelts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
