Or the C&C3 Renegade game

The concept is “yet another extraction shooter”, and half of the reveal trailer is AI slop…

What if you remade the Jumanji remake, but instead of actually writing, you just fill 2 hours with references and “haha just kidding” jokes.

It lets you pay for the oncoming lawsuit

Oh no…

Games don’t use catch-up mechanics anymore, because those take time. In the old days, if you played CTF or objective-push maps, there would be an automatic catch-up in that the side losing would get closer to their spawn. Now, that’s all gone.

And MOBA is even worse, because it has escalation mechanics. If you lose a small edge at the start, you lose big later.

I have a completely different view on this.

I HATE when we take a “camera perspective” instead of an “eye perspective”. I don’t like exaggerated contrast, because that’s what cameras do, not what eyes do. The world doesn’t look like that, unless you view it through a camera. For the same reason, I can’t stand lens-flares and I’m really not a fan of focus-shifts unless they’re natural. I don’t like abberation, because my eyes don’t do that. Motion blur is even worse, and having it absolutely minimized is preferable. It’s especially bad when first-person videogames do it, and then add film-grain on top. I don’t understand why films are still mostly shot at 24fps, I love the rare few films that are shown at 60fps. It’s basically the only redeeming feature of the new Avatar movie.

I don’t want to see someone work a camera, I want to see the scene. That doesn’t mean I like grey, because the world has a TON of colour, but it also doesn’t mean I like the unrealistically high contrasts.

The US war of independence started mostly because super rich shipowners didn’t like the idea of tea not having to be transported to London first, but could come directly from India and Indonesia.

That would save a ton of money for the American colonists, but it would cut out all those wealthy shipowners (and smugglers) who ran the London-America routes.

So they lied to the people do their dirty work for them.

The Dark Crystal is basically a Henson muppet movie about genocide.

On the one hand, I kinda do too. But on the other, I want it to preemptively go away.

I dislike this fact, because I very clearly remember when it was brand spanking new

Yes, but not competent ones.

Let’s hope the destroy themselves before they elect competent fascists instead of this bunch

Exactly. Basically nobody in their 30s can, say, drive a manual car without a synchro, unless they specifically practiced it, because there is zero need to learn that skill. And basically nobody under 20 can set port forwarding on a router because there is basically zero need for that skill.

When I wanted sound on Arkanoid, I HAD to learn IRQ settings, so I did. But now that stuff just works.

Good! Vintage Story started as a mod for Minecraft and is now an absolutely amazing game, hoping this will be the same story.

And extremely predictable

Honey bees are doing absolutely fine though. And they’re pretty fucking terrible on other/native pollinators.

What? Are you telling me that “baby one more time.mp3.exe” I got off of Napster isn’t actually reliable? Gasp!

Actual piracy involves a lot of corpses of mostly innocent sailors, IP violations are a victimless crime.

Surprise, Space Karen, places other than the US have actual employee protection laws.
