now that's level design

yes. perfect. now spit in my mouth

love to play a thing at twice the intended framerate and fuck up the physics impulses

the goofy-ass crouch walk that i guess is like that in order for it to be the same height as the lowest cover

splinter cell conviction is so goofy but so fun. terrible edgy bullshit writing. the prince of persia warrior within of splinter cell

man i hate when in a game some people are about to be killed and if you manage to get all the baddies before it happens they just drop dead anyway

"press f5" would have been better

if someone's a jerk just tell 'em to get fucked. solved

Yeah like shut the fuck up you insufferable nerds

when are we in a position to have to convince someone that games are art anymore, though. where does this happen apart from in your head?

“someone once dismissed games condescendingly, and I felt invalidated” does not, in itself, warrant perpetual advocacy or constant defensive justification

What the fuck does that mean

if you blog, i really recommend the bsky comment embedder by @kayin.moe, which automatically pulls the replies to your bsky post linking a blog post and displays them as comments on the post

it's really rad seeing comments on your posts without folks having to sign up

Ghost Town is out on Steam now. 10% off! Go grab it! It’s spooky but not scary, puzzly like The Room, and you play an Irish freelance witch in 80s London!! You should play it!! Also: you have an aquarium in ur flat’s living room. idk I just always wanted that for myself

That's interesting, Blacklist runs great for me on everything

monsters

oh we're talking about games

And no graphics settings make a difference either way, so...draw calls because nothing's occluded?

good policy

Yeah, a UE2 one as well. My only guess is their custom occlusion, which they did a talk about, got fucked up - the fps is worst when you're looking toward the bulk of a map, even if through an opaque wall

That's an amaaaaazing co-op. The ending is so good

Nah years earlier. Like 2014 maybe

what do we think of the stealth game thing where you have to sneakily kill a bunch of guys and they keep talkin amoungst themselves about how their boss is an asshole and they hate this job and they sympathise with the hero character and if it were up to them they'd be on your side. somewhat lmao

yeah but there were going to be consequences

when splinter cell conviction came out in 2010 you could run it on any ok gaming computer really well. for some reason a few years later it started running like butts on everything. windows update? different hardware? somethin. anyway i just upgraded my cpu to something crazy and it runs good again

Creatives understand that making something is a process of starting with something crude and refining it. Whereas there's this subset of people who feel like they don't know how to be creative or that's been denied them somehow, and AI is a way to engage in what they imagine creativity is

oh no i fell half asleep, had an argument in my head and stressed myself out

"i just use AI for-" say no more, i already think less of you

we're all friends here ari. if you don't know how just say you don't know how

i've been trying to bait him into doing the caching. i'm like "oof sounds hard. who would know how to do that. probably take aaaaaaages hey?"
