I feel like the more liberating approach to this is to just be hyperbolic about the world we have access to, and to eagerly await the potential arrival of those games we can’t play.

“I wanna be part of the cultural conversation.” The only cultural conversations *really* worth being in are the ones still going on years later.

It’s like one of the best movies of all time I think. It’s so incredible

the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.

Dungeons and Dragons 1st edition. It’s not a playable game by any means though. Nor a good answer to your question. It is definitely That however.

I like Disco Elysium for existing. I’m replaying it and I’m struck by how much it doesn’t resonate with me like it used to, because I’m better now. It helped me get better. That’s pretty cool.

Faaark. So disappointing!

Are you aware that creators can set blacklist words themselves?
It’s probably the video maker going “oh I don’t want that word being used in my comment section.” Thats their right.
Also. It’s YouTube comments. Literally who cares. I mean what you think the CCP doesn’t get criticised enough? Please

Censorship on YouTube comments isn’t a real issue. On videos? Sure. But comments? Willing to bet anyone who feels they are shadow banned on YouTube just wrote an annoying comment the uploaded didn’t like.

I’m gay and trans and I didn’t really realise how much I appreciate a flag until this video. It really does comfort me a lot. I’m only realising this in retrospect.

This was a great watch because it proved that I am not the target audience for any of that stuff lol. All I want out of vim is basically faster and more powerful keyboard shortcuts. I’m glad I know the grass on the other side is not for me at all lol.

Good article. I liked it

(2/2) ignorance of other systems. You stand still when waiting for a parry usually, so there goes the involvement of level design on a fight. And I think more damning is that parries almost always result in the same outcome. You riposte and it does a canned anim. Expression after a parry would rock.

I agree with your broad point here, however waiting is a great combat verb. The exclusive focus on parry weakens “wait” as a verb, but that doesn’t mean wait is bad. Wait is the cousin of look, and look is our most potent verb in video games.
I think parries, when designed poorly, allow… (1/2)

Controlled burn for humanity? Speak for yourself man. It’s a controlled burn of you. Us folk living in reality can’t even see the smoke from where we’re standing.

I feel so sad for the person reading this paper who goes “Oh maybe I’ll pick that one up from the store.” And thinking they’re the crazy one who might be losing their marbles in their old age (or not so old age at all!!) because the bookstore clerk has no idea what they’re talking about.

Definitely originally livestream chat -> Adapted to a general collective 2nd person pronoun -> Currently splitting (not evolving id argue, since the previous isn’t falling out of favour) into also meaning chatGPT.

You are bad at researching. Google *is* fucked atm but no where near as fucked as Gen ai. You need to get better at researching.

A small extra other thing that talking about it work rather than making it does, is it means you get praise before you’re done.
I find that it can be easy to feel like I’ve already done the thing and therefore put off actually doing it if people are telling me “That’s such a good idea/start!”

Why do people still think degrees in game design don’t mean anything. Like sure I’m not a graphics programmer but I sure have dealt with the differences between forward rendering pipelines, backwards ones, baked, real time and ray and path tracing yeah. Like, I know a thing or two about shaders man

As someone who disagrees with the decision the Doom devs made here, and someone with a degree in game design. Your response is gibberish. “Add a software solution.” Omg.

If there’s 2 words and there’s one you’re not willing to even type out in your message about how fine it is… that’s the worse word.

It doesn’t even make sense thematically. Why would starting town, aka, a specifically non-diverse, normal ass town produce 5 colours? Why does paying life enter into it? Its activated ability should be some kind of early game utility.
