  • For example. In cyberpunk you are forced to first person in combat. That means to look around a corner you have to put yourself in danger. To mitigate this you can invest in certain cyber ware to see through walls or throw recon grenades. If you would be able to use third person you could just move your camera to look around an object. You would have to design the encounters with that in mind and the thinks like recon grenades or looking through walls get less interesting if you allow the view of the player to fly around without getting in danger. As you can guess I don’t like this and consider it cheesing. Similar example for kingdom come. There are medieval helmets in the game where you can pull the front piece down. That will impair your field of View. But you get more protection. But this could just be cheesed by turning on third person.

    This kind of stuff I mean by cheesed.










  • I doubt that very much. Just yesterday I checked out the product page of the new DJI Air 3 and compared it with the Air 2. One of the new features is a bigger sensor compared to the old one. So I wanted to see how much bigger it got. For some reason though DJI only lists their sensor sizes in fractions. The Air 3 has a sensor size of 1/1.3 Inch and the Air 2 1/2 Inch. To be honest. I thought shortly about that and then concluded I would have to do math to compare those two and did something else with my life. I know how to convert between different bases but honestly - why should I? This is weird! Why use random switching fractions for anything? Fractions are only useful to display numbers that would be hard to express in decimal. And that is mainly 1/3 and 2/3! Which to be honest I dont encounter that much in my life.
