![]() ![]() So it's not a "pixel art" game, in the way that Owlboy or Sea of Stars is. Hollow Knight's assets appear to be painted at a higher resolution and downscaled to 1080, which is how general digital artwork is made. These games also follow certain retro palette restrictions that make them feel more like NES or SNES games. Most pixel art games now use a virtual resolution of 320x180 because it can cleanly scale 6x to 1920x10p, or 12x to 3840x2160 for 4k monitors. For example, Shovel Knight has a virtual resolution of 400x240 pixels, scaled up 4.5x to 1800x10p displays. ![]() Generally, "pixel art" today means you're painting at a lower resolution (virtual resolution) than the target resolution. If you get out of platformers and look at other genres, there's Vanillaware games and Indivisible, but it's still a small pond. I can name Cuphead, The Dragon's Trap, Hollow Knight, and some of the Shantae games, which are a little more core-facing than Sonic. If they wanted to stand out from other 2D platformers, there's very little competition in that high-res hand-drawn space. I may just be outside their target though. It seems like a conservative guess of what audiences will buy, but it doesn't instantly grab me and make me think about it all the time like Wonder. What is right for Sonic specifically? What reaches the broadest audience, represents the characters faithfully, and is most legible to play, while still fitting in the $60 boxed-game-at-Christmas format? When I look at footage of Superstars, I don't see the hook in the art style. The greater complexity of the pipeline makes each asset consume more man-hours. There is a wider talent pool available for this, but the ceiling is much higher which makes proficiency harder to achieve. Working in polygons, you have to consider lighting, shaders, draw distance, level-of-detail, the whole pipeline of diffuse/specular/normal/whatever maps, and tricks like impostors. Most people do not learn skills like animating your anti-aliasing, but those that do are really good at it. Working in pixel art, you have to define a virtual resolution and palette to work in, and anything like variable device resolutions or aspect ratios is a huge headache. Everything will be difficult in its own way-it comes down to time, labor, and tech. The reality is, there's no such thing as an easy game to make. I would consider what Naoto Oshima said of Superstars' art style: The question of how difficult different types of 2D are to make comes up a lot. So you get the advantages of 2D assets while being able to adjust for nonstandard aspect ratios on PC/Mac/mobile, the way you can with 3D. High-res 2D assets have a faster turnaround than polygon models, and don't have to scale in strict integers like pixel art. Work is sparse in general 2D animation, so there's a lot of skilled animators that could be employed at what are low costs for the game industry but high wages for animators. 2D animation is cheap, yet perceived as valuable because it's rare. There would be a number of advantages to doing a hand-drawn Sonic game, even for the sharks running finance. When fans bring up Mania, my first thoughts actually go to the opening: ![]() That doesn't automatically mean 3D is the most approachable or cost-effective way of doing 2D Sonic. Pixel art is still viable, but it's a different business model than what Sega wants Sonic to be. He'll drop $20 on Mania, but not three times that. Dad will put $10 down for Undertale, but wait for a sale when he sees Shovel Knight's $40 tag. While the last decade showed second graders are quite amenable to pixel art, Sega wants 2D Sonic to be a $60 release-the bigger obstacle is convincing their parents to buy it. Taking a long view I can see where Iizuka's coming from, but I think it's the wrong premise to approach it from whether to use pixel art or not.ĢD games in general reach a broader audience than 3D, and Sonic specifically has to think about the 8-year-old that's never touched a console game before. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for all the advice, sure learning lots. Rafters are just one component in a roof system, along with collar ties, ceiling joists, rafter ties, strong backs, and weight-bearing walls. I wanted a 3 foot knee wall and was planning on a brace from top of each beam to post extending above beam, I could sacrifice and go to a 2 foot knee wall but i know that will reduce my headspace above. Could you place pulins down from the ridge until they would interfer with dormer, then run rafters down from the last purlin but at right angle to ridge to a plate? to frame in dormer opening? I kinda have my heart set on gable dormers and 1/1/ stories. Also it seems as though purlins, running parallel to the ridge would make dormers diffucult to frame since their ridge would run at right angle to the purlins. Learn about residential roof framing basics in part two of our three-part series. With this sort of span would I also need a king post or queenposts support? I plan on 3 bays 12, 8 and 12 again and the interior walls on second floor would be on same demensions so the posts will not be an obstruction as long as the tie that connects rafters and post can be set high enough for a door. So the principal rafter (i think this is the correct term for large 8x8 beams? that go top of each post, meet at ridge) and purlins is what I need. I have done 2 small timber frames and both used this type of roof but it sounds like it will not work for a larger building. If my idea seems structurally sound I would skip a pair which on the 2 foot spacing will leave my 6 foot for the dormer. ![]() Also would like to have 2, 6 foot wide gable dorms in each roof, but am not sure if they would affect what I have planned. I would rather overbuid some then cut it close as I am cutting my own timbers so within reason a little bigger timbers or closer spacing is O.K. The roof will be an 8/12 pitch with the rafters 2 feet on center and will be covered with Foam panels and then metal for a house in Vermont. If I set the ties 3 feet down from peak that still leaves decent head space but I am not sure if that will be a good solid roof. The steps are in accordance with Chapter 8 of IRC 2018 and Clauses 23.4, 28.1.1, 28.2.1.1 and 28.3.1 of IS 875-1987.All relevant formulas used are shown. The rafters would be just a little over 13 feet long from plate to peak. But that starts to reduce my head space below. Ceiling joists in most houses also serve as rafter ties. A lack of rafter ties is a significant structural issue in a conventionally framed roof. My problem is I know the closer to the center (lower down from peak) the ties are the more they help prevent rafter spread. Other facts about rafter ties: Rafter ties are always required unless the roof has a structural (self-supporting) ridge or is made with engineered trusses. I would like to use 4X6 whitepine rafters with an open mortise at the top and the same size collar ties.

If you find yourself cruising through the Popeyes drive-thru this week, try the chicken nuggets in the kids meal – then, toss in what you really came for: the unbeatable fried chicken sandwich.How can I get free menu items from Popeye's? ![]() Will they start a chicken nugget war? Only time will tell. If you've impatiently scrolled to the bottom of this article for my final verdict, here it is: Popeyes' new chicken nuggets are decent (good even!), especially if you like seeing real white breast meat in your fast food. Nuggets are a different beast, even when they're dunked in loads of sauce and served with fries. But even then, the hand-battered buttermilk breading felt loose, peeling away from the meat and crumbling in my hands with every bite.ĭo Popeyes' chicken nuggets taste just like the brand's fan-favorite fried chicken sandwich? While I have no doubt that the kitchen is using the same breading technique on these poppable bites, the real beauty of the sandwich is in the sum of its parts – the pillowy brioche bun, craggy fried chicken, zippy pickles and creamy sauce. Things only got better from there, with the second and third nuggets revealing tender, juicier white meat. Unfortunately, my first bite was a total miss – the chicken was thick and rubbery, and the breading felt inexplicably flimsy. You can get 'em in orders of eight, 12, 24, 36 and 48 (!!) or opt for a smaller serving by ordering a kids meal (four or six pieces).įor reference, here's what a box of 12 looks like IRL not pictured: two sauces, a biscuit, fries and a soda – all of which is included in the small combo, priced at $8.89. ![]() So, how do Popeyes' new chicken nuggets stack up? At first glance, they look incredibly encouraging – the breading is craggy, thick and golden, just like the promotional images promise. (Psst! Some delivery apps don't have the new nuggets listed just yet, but you'll find them at your nearest Popeyes location in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico as of July 27.) Two weeks ago – upon finding out that Popeyes was rolling out new chicken nuggets modeled after its fan-favorite chicken sandwich – I wondered aloud whether the move would elicit a full-on chicken nugget war. Today, I was finally able to put my theory to the test when I got my hands on the new menu item. ![]() ![]() ![]() The sample has since been flipped by Kanye and The Weeknd, which is pretty weird, but No ID is the gawd so that’s that. It’s still the greatest piece of rhyme writing Common has ever laid down. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve gushed about this song, online and in person. He’s hoping one day this shit will all get sorted out…or will…make sense. He knows what he SHOULD be doing but he’s not there yet. Now he’s forced to think beyond himself…but he’s still a 25 year old that wants to get drunk with his guys and flex on the mic. Meanwhile, his last album didn’t sell anything, and paying rent with props and pounds gets you homeless quick. Along the way, adulthood starts rearing its head: His best friend dies, his apartment is robbed, and he gets a girl pregnant. He comes back home to make another album, along with a couple of singles, to prove he’s no fluke. Here’s the new theme of it: Common is riding high off of the acclaim and props from Resurrection. Outside of Common throwing a subtle diss at the Bad Boy formula by pointing out he could’ve sampled Diana Ross a long time ago, he was the rare rapper of his peer group that didn’t make an album as a reaction to the success of Bad Boy and the “real” vs. One Day doesn’t sound specifically tethered to 1997-it could’ve dropped in ’95 or ’98. There’s no seeds planted here to predict he’d become one of the most important and influential producers of the past 10 years. He was just a guy in Chicago making beats for his friend. He wouldn’t compete with the murderers row of radio dominance by the Hitmen on Biggie’s Life After Death, the kung fu blockbuster mythology of RZA and the Wu-Elements on Wu-Tang Forever, nor was he making blatant jack moves like Trackmasters, or avant garde shit like Company Flow and Timbaland. Like his choices in producers throughout his entire career, Common, with his mother next to him, yearns for a partner. He’s optimistic and isn’t hardened like Nas, who stares completely vulnerable and unshakeable as a kid. Hell, the album title openly screams that Common has no answers. Unlike the cover of Illmatic, where a young Nas is by himself, blended with the grim harshness of a giant city that tests his survival skills, One Day It’ll All Make Sense presumes Common’s need for security in an uncertain future. The cover of this album shows Common as a little boy presumably hanging with his mother, and what I gather from this picture is arrested development, a young man wanting the refuge of comfort. It’s like your first summer after graduating college when you can still hang on campus while knowing you need a fucking job. He believes in Louis Farrakhan about the sanctity of black families uniting but is openly homophobic and goes on a hunt to find the asshole who broke into his apartment. ![]() He regrets paying for an abortion but wants to tell wack rappers to fuck off. He’s conscious but he still wants to go bar for bar with Canibus. The original tracklisting is Harvey Dent: flip a coin and get “Rapping His Ass Off Common” or “I’m Becoming an Adult And That Kind of Sucks Common” on every other song. His Chicago kingsmen No ID, Dug Infinite, and Y-Not produce 15 of the album’s 17 cuts spread out over…oh my god…SEVENTY MINUTES, but there’s a tug of war between keeping the backpackers satiated from Resurrection and bending towards the eventual tan cargo pants/afghan scarves of the Okayplayer/Soulquarian world that would later yield Common’s biggest hits on Like Water for Chocolate. Looking back on it for its 20th anniversary, One Day marks the beginning of a long career of Common suffering an identity crisis. I had it on CD because it’s quite skippable as the homie Balibz noted on Twitter (which inspired this here post), it’s one of the worst arranged albums that people still think highly of. One Day It’ll All Make Sense is a terrible cassette album.
