SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Framework supporting far-right racists? I think you are contradicting yourself here. It sounds to me that you are trying to change FW’s mind about who they contribute to and how they make that decision.

this sucks!

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.

Okay, it's time. I have a prized Cult of the dead cow Zippo lighter. These simply do not exist anywhere. But a CDC member is hurting and I want to encourage donations to the GoFundMe, so out it goes. Details in thread.

oh yeah I figured, I was just rolling with the joke.

there is some good stuff in c++, but I do think the committee has lost the plot and is solving invented problems

demo has me really excited

style is impeccable, ship movement feels pretty good. lots of unique pattern designs and enemy formation layouts. the obstacle dodging sections feel a bit imbalanced along with some jump scare enemy entrances. gonna be an easy buy.

3 Years Later, Playdate Is Still Gaming's Best-Kept Secret With almost laughably low power, a monochrome screen, and unique controls, niche-micro console Playdate shouldn't make any sense in a world of modern gaming. Yet, it's near impossible not to love it.

I love stuff made in GZDOOM (and other doom forks)

selaco is another fun one worth checking out

lmao

on the flipside, the module system is so bad i genuinely think it needs to be a case study, in the sense that chernobyl is a case study

gah, this game is just so half in half out on re-examining/revitalizing things

mgs3 deserves more, its such a special game

good post

as an mgs3 enjoyer, im having fun, but it loses a lot of the visual character (even with the legacy palettes).

other uncanny bits:
- hyper real geo alongside stilted anim transitions without motion matching.
- "modern controls" run into many awkward spacings/scenarios

really enjoying ragebound so far; juggling mechanics are fun, and the focus on spacing feels good

I've really enjoyed S2 for twisted metal; very dumb but self aware.

Now please, give us a follow up game

I personally think that games are not just for having fun; they could also be called a form of competition, of gamer vs. game. When you watch a story unfold in a game, it can be moving. However, when you clear a game that has a reputation for being impossible to all but the most dedicated of players, then you will experience something that is distinct from what narrative games offer. So long as there are players who want very difficult games, I hope to keep making them. Of course sometimes we overdo it, and the players get pissed at us. (laughs) I mean, if it’s ok for there to be casual games for casual players, then what’s wrong with having hard games for hardcore players? Casual players are an important part of the audience, it’s true, but hardcore players are equally important. My hope is that I can convey the joy of these difficult games to casual players via the visually dazzling medium of danmaku; maybe then normal, everyday players will have their interest piqued.

ur gonna make me cry omg

Blue Revolver, to me, is the best CAVE-style indie shmup, bar none.

it got me into lua/love2d almost ten years ago, which eventually turned into Gun Trails. its a deeply rewarding and fun game, worth your money and time.
