Bot for sure... LLMs will pov from a 30+ gamer, college edu, distilled by steam comments & tempered by discords: "I’m not sure 4 player co-op is what DS 4 needed, but I’m willing to be surprised. If they can keep the core experience intact while opening it up for group play, it might actually work"

How else are you going to earn flair pins during the interview?!?

Congrats! Keep that momentum.

Unfortunately the image undersold the cryptographic uniqueness of each token and when the image became focus rather than any intended utility, it became a joke rather than a solution for preventing multi-issued assets, Ken Griffey Jr baseball cards in the 90’s or faked celeb signatures for example.

Red Dead 2’s mountain banjo is really good.

I hope the series is one giant mind twist after another to really mess with cadets heads.

If uber is an option:
- la brea tar pits
- sunset blvd in echo park
- Santa Monica pier & 3rd street promenade
- old town Pasadena
- Olvera Street
- California Science Center
- The Original Farmers Market

Yup. It’s interesting though that it’s show by show, I wonder if that’s the platforms decision or the studio? 🤔

While waiting between episodes (why didn't they release the entire series at once?), it's worth watching Chapelwaite.

The road to having a protocol droid and a holodeck is littered with chaos.

Lucky to have been doing programming in one form or another for the past 30 years in multiple languages. What would been really nice though is for Unity to divulge that animation events won’t reliably fire off in a blend state in a transition.

I’m hoping Noah will follow in the footsteps of Fede Álvarez (who absolutely did his homework). Some Bladerunner tie-ins would be most welcome.

No worries, sent you a DM

The script for BD is a bit of a mess, but the SFX, cinematography & acting, especially from Scott Glenn, Sutherland, DeNiro, De Mornay, & Russel is fantastic.

If you liked the movie, check out Smoke on AppleTV+. Much better script.

I really like how framed & grounded it was. Plot pieces tied together, action to consequence. Star Wars fan nods were light & not ham handed. Forest Whitaker’s portrayal of Saw was so strong, it transformed a character into a legend. The nostalgia for this series will haunt us well into the future

I feel this… I did a != || != statement yesterday by mistake and all gunfire vanished from the game for at least a good half hour while I tried to mentally wrestle with wtf-is-going-on-isms.

I am yeah, the characters are well tied to the plot w/ depth as the game moves along, some of it through cutscenes, audio, or text as necessary. The combat is similar to Uncharted 4 & Splinter Cell, so balance will is key as to keep the player engaged, avoiding instant death as much as possible

Balancing gameplay is really hard. I find that narrative games with limited windows of death encounters is a decent model when combined with a health system.

I really miss the 80’s.

Much dark magic has been shown here…

Thank you! Deeply appreciate all the kind words 🙏

Had no idea there was a tv series!

Trek movies are often a victim of the franchise success, needing to deliver fan service without risks, often resulting in things like ST5, Generations, Insurrection, Nemesis & Darkness. I don't think we've had a "great" trek film since WoK. Abrams' 09 reboot was decent, but used comedy as a crutch.

Disney will angle grind anything down until it fits nicely onto a collectible beverage cup to make it more palatable for Disney adults in the "safe zone" of entertainment.

Not sure on this, I never imagined it as an action comedy. Certainly the '87 version had its issues and I get Stephen King fans wanted something closer to the source material, but a "21 Jump Street" vibe movie in the Running Man universe doesn't feel right either. 😬

Spooky vibes, puzzles, secret passages, a ghost or two.... maybe someday I'll repackage it and upload it to steam or epic.

True... 6 years ago I made a horror puzzle game (similar to 7th Guest) that everyone loved called Red Fern Valley. However, I wanted to make a sci-fi game, so here I am doing that. I think everyone wanted me to make Red Fern Valley: Chapter 2 though 😞

As far as art, music, video, audio, animation, text go it gets a little more complex. If a dev uses AI to generate the sound of glass breaking vs using a clip from Pond5, has worldbuilding from the perspective of the gamer been shattered? Probably not in the same way as player facing ai characters.

Yeah, you have a point there. AI is being used now in the tools used by other tools, Unity & UE both have used AI for engine dev, shaders, design tools like Maya, etc. I’ve used it for solving trigonometric problems so I mean, we’re reaching an epoch where every dev is using it.

I think it's got the right pacing for the battle scene, I'm not about the cuts to kirk being born. It's high drama, but also very Abrams. I think his best work is Regarding Henry tbh.

I do like elements of the scene for sure, but someone needed to take Dan Mindel's hand off the lens flare button.

I long for the day we all return to adventure games. Much dark magic would be needed and many sacrifices… but it would be worth it.
