If you get the camera really far away and lower the FOV, you can approach an orthographic projection to make it seem more ✌️isometric✌️.

Reddit user "fanica98" took a bunch of cool shots doing that in this album: imgbox.com/g/PupUpSVbox

Or hackerman the projection matrix, I guess. 🙃

The meme depicts the crestfallen warrior from Dark Souls being told that the second bell has been rung, George W Bush Jr style

Actually they are Shmups, because until you learn the enemies' approach and attack patterns, you die very quickly.
☝🤓
They even have little bullet hell sections, like the Undead Burg Firebomb bridge or Pinwheel's second phase.

Maybe I need to play Shadow Tower. 🤔

Still waiting for somebody to verify their age by pulling the mouth down on the Super Mario 64 Startup Screen.

made a new little area for my sword of moonlight horror game :3

Hey guys! I'm the guy behind this Tweet (I'm usually on Twitter)

My tweet went viral, and it's on this Reddit post too.

Apparently, this commenter lost access to their Steam game because Visa reversed the payment.

Visa treated this person poorly too.

Screenshot of the 'about-us'-section on the IGDA website, scrolled down to a bold header reading "Anti-Censorship" followed by the sentence "Ensuring and preserving games’ status as protected speech and artistic expression."

They sure sound a lot more absolute than that on their website…

That dragon is totally barfing up a large ballsack, I'm sorry. Like, that is some hairy testicles exploding from his mouth right there, not fire. Again, I'm sorry to be the one to report on this but it had to be said.

How are you able to tell the dragon in this picture is not in fact inhaling a scrotum rather than barfing it up?

Very cool.

Though considering the map is essentially a 2D-array containing tile-info and we're dealing with FromSoftware, I now have to wonder whether that editor is just a janky custom frontend for an .xls file.

wanted to talk about my process for making maps in sword of moonlight, a game engine made by fromsoft in the year 2000. SoM doesnt really have a robust map-making tool that something like quake would have. Its an entirely flat 2d editor (think RPG Maker), which you populate with 3D tiles. (1/5)🧵

A lot of NSFW content has been removed from places like Steam and itchio recently, but you might not know this is actually the result of a campaign that has been going on for decades.

Here's how anti-porn groups got the power to censor the internet.

Post on /r/transgenderUK entitled “Reddit now censors LGBTQ+ content under OFCOM’s new ‘Online Safety Act’”

post text: “I honestly can't even think of words to describe how vile this is. Here's a screenshot of what I now see when I search "lgbt" with my VPN switched off. Occasionally a banner appears at the top of the screen saying something about needing to verify ID to access "mature content" but the button doesn't even work. The fact that we're now considered "mature content" makes me feel sick.”

The screenshot referenced in the previous image, showing the results of a search on Reddit for the term LGBT. No results from LGBT-specific subreddits appear; instead, posts from /r/Conservative, /r/Islam, /r/JustUnsubbed, etc are highlighted.

the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit

what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!

inspired in large part by lunacid: tears of the moon, i'm gonna be working on a small side project in the sword of moonlight engine :3

This wouldn't have happened with skim milk!

(I bet. Ask girlfriend to confirm, I suppose…)

Some dude holding a Praktica super TL 2 SLR camera with bellows.

Ordered some 35mm film so tomorrow I can start being the ridiculous guy in the neighborhood, taking semi-blurry b&w macro shots of trash using a 50-year-old East German camera.

Solaire is saying "Do not use amiibo"

didn't know about this. mama mia...

A red&white one liter noodle bowl with cute kitty in the center of it, to the right a tamagoyaki pan, at the bottom a red&white ceramic spoon that doesn't quite match the design of the bowl, but is similar enough.

A noodle bowl filled with tamagoyaki, pardina lentils, miso soup, sweetheart cabbage, cilantro, carrots, chive flowers, wakame, roasted sesame seeds, and a homeopathic amount of thinly sliced red onions.

Bought a cheap tamagoyaki pan and a campy bowl. 🙃

Same headphones, now in clean. Wowzers 🤗

And yes, I could have brushed and wiped them to (superficial) cleanliness before taking close-up photos, I guess... 🫣

eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#...

Partially taken apart filthy headphones with an overly thocky (albeit perfectly functional) solder joint at the end of the yellow wire.

"Sure whatever, this will last until I get new ones soon", me before using them another five years.

Headband assembly is broken and because AKG were bought by Samsung their support is: "Sure you can repair this: we will sell you the assembly for 120€, about as much as we sell the K702s for now 🌚"

Filthy 5 year old AKG K702 headphones.

Lousy solder job incoming. 😬

The video doesn't make this very clear, but I don't think it would pop up a little exception handler window on a Switch2. That's Dolphin for demonstration purposes, presumably to explain what's happening behind the scenes when Switch2 does not crash as it ignores the raised exception by default.
