I spent hundreds of hours playing CS:GO in highschool and I barely ever escaped silver. My sleep schedule and mental were so trash. These days I'm actually getting decent at deadlock.

Most sane drifter player

I've watched a couple of his videos and it seems like he mostly tries to bring attention to important subjects, but he does it with titles like "This is SO important" and the thumbnail is just a red arrow pointing to a green blob and then the last 75% of the runtime is just him playing connections

Rem from Deadlock. He is a small owlbear wearing pajamas with a small bird familiar. Character tags are "Helpful, Tiny, zZzzZ"

The characters grew on me. I think part of that is that Valve always gets stellar voice talent though, the VA makes them much more charismatic. Anyway they just added a sleepy little dude with an even littler dude

I watched some friends play it for a couple rounds. I'm willing to accept that maybe I'm not giving it a fair shake (I was very mean to Deadlock when I first saw it) but it really looks like they just took mechanics from 5 different FPS trends and mashed them together into 1 game

I'm only loyal to tall girls with deep voices, countries can get FUCKED

It's very much a hammer looking for nails. EVERYTHING in the engine is tree nodes. There is no distinction between game objects and components, it's just trees all the way down. Which can make the hierarchy kind of a nightmare to look at.

Which is funny because not only do I have plenty of experience in other engines, it shows that they probably don't have that much experience in other engines.

This reminds me of Godot people telling me that needing to set raycast parameters into a node and then checking the output values of a raycast node is actually a normal way to do raycasts inline, and I only think otherwise because I've only ever used Unity before.

Y'all we are so, so close. Please help us get there.

I went through a game design course where they actually taught things like "you shouldn't consider high level play because players will always optimize the fun out of the game" and I feel like that's just generational cope from people who don't like or understand competitive games

if you're coming from twitter here are some important rules:

1. play Unbeatable
2. play Of the Devil Episode 0 (free)
3. play Of the Devil Episode 1
4. play Of the Devil Episode 2

It's the head of the Eraserhead Baby in place of a labubu doll's faceplate.

The Eraserhead baby is disturbing. It kind of looks like a sheep fetus? But here it is, tucked in the furry little body of a bunny-like labubu.

All these photos are in black & white, to be evocative of the Eraserhead movie.

Please. My labubu is very sick.

But the run variety comes from the fact that there's like, 500+ items to see in various combinations, and they're all hand crafted, no procgen involved.

I've found that the games that use procgen (or other randomness) well tend to use it for content delivery, not content creation. Binding of Isaac for example has a bunch of dogshit items you would never use if you could just... choose, but in a random run, you might find a use for dogshit.

GIMP is like the anti-vim. vim users are always like "yeah it's confusing and unintuitive but at least you can do everything faster than a normal text editor" wheras GIMP users are like "yeah it's confusing and unintuitive but at least everything takes 5 more steps than it should have."

I've used WPF a lot for desktop development, which on a surface level uses a declarative language kinda like HTML, and it actually has worked like this for 15 years. Crazy that web development took this long to get something similar.

Intellectually, I'm obviously more mad at conservatives, but emotionally it's hard to match the boiling disgust that I feel in my heart at people who say shit like this having the gall to pretend that they hold even remotely progressive views

u right I can't let it get to me. no matter how bad things get we will always have cool art made by weird queers and they can't take that from us

I'm pretty sad because following the waves of puritan takedowns of art, it was nice to see a game trailer be so... not that, and then this happens not even a week later. Not allowed to feel optimistic about anything anymore I guess.

People complain about instant kills in +R and Xrd being basically useless at the competitive level, but that means that they can just be there to do one time against your friend on the couch and then never mess with an actual match.

results screen scoreposting for my A rank clear of hard mode on "binary reasoning", a song by lena raine & peak divide ft. rachel lake in the game UNBEATABLE by d-cell games i'm the top of the leaderboard* *there are two** people on the leaderboard **for now...

huge congrats to the @dcellgames.com team for an UNBEATABLE launch day~

'binary reasoning' (in the cool deluxe pack) is the first song i've written directly for a rhythm game, and the folks at @peakdivide.bsky.social were amazing to work with to make it happen 🤍 NOW GO PLAY IT (the game, too)

I was losing my shit during this part of the game it was incredible

I also like the track design in the GBA games a lot better than the 3D games

One of the reasons MV is my favorite over GX is that "you have to pass a certain rank each lap or you lose" is a rule that pushes you into learning all the nuances of the game's systems and makes just finishing a race a compelling challenge

The discussion in this thread reminds me of the F-Zero series, a lot of people don't get it cause it's just "you race and you have a boost and maybe a spin" but there's so much difference in the vehicle handling and racing rules between each game that differentiate them

This would be awesome if it meant the return of cool videogame manuals

This is why the entire Call of Duty franchise sucks ass btw

Videogames are honestly super avant garde if you pretend they're movies and don't know what a videogame is. Imagine a movie that's just a 2 hour long continuous wide shot of chefs running a kitchen under comedically stressful conditions with no plot or editing
