This release reportedly ships SilentPatch and Fusion Fix, and none of us were contacted about this in advance (which isn't necessary as per the license, but would be nice).

I KNOW that the holder of the Scarface license wasn't willing to re-release the game, so this is suspect.

Another one of these really bad days, when going to sleep you low-key hope not to wake up again. I hope it's just SAD and not anything more serious. 🫤

This is essentially the first time I am trying to write a script for a video. It's an attempt to prove why we need a Deus Ex Remaster by diving deep (down to Unreal Script) into many issues of the OG and explaining why Aspyr already showed that they do not understand Deus Ex.

"Files over 256MB don't compress properly through symstore.exe, the command reports success but produces a corrupted file"
"Issue closed due to not enough info"

What a joke @visualstudio.com, and thank you for quietly corrupting my symbol store.

CUFFBUST just released but with a price of 25.6% higher than USD I am not buying it. @steampowered.com fix the suggested pricing.

And then they list THPS 3+4 and Gears of War: Reloaded in it, LMAO. Yeah, I think that's representing an issue with the current gaming industry very well.

"Best Remake / Remaster" as category.... no. This should never be a category 😬

Looking at Golden Joystick Awards 2025 nominees... yeah, gaming is really fucked.

At this point I am really sick of explaining graphics team why they need to avoid using transparency if possible and why they absolutely should never use it on complex models, where there is a chance of faces in the back to be rendered after ones in the front. 😫

Having a highly autistic programmer in charge of our builds that already years ago did some magic that command line parameters are stripped entirely and not passed further down the line. Which annoyed me cause I wanted to use them to simplify debugging issues with release builds.

In terms of graphics - MJ12 lab is one that bothers me the most. One of UE1's most "in your face" features was its usage of planar reflections. In the build showed off by Aspyr they are gone completely and there is still inconsistency between brushes that are suppose to use the same material type.

At this point I don't think anyone will treat Russia's warnings and especially promises seriously.

Conclusion based on numbers from the last stream - clearly I need to complain about games more often.

But actually, I think it's more of an issue of me not being very energetic and it just so happens that I get more energetic when I complain about things I am passionate about.

This really feels like the turn of GTA Defective Edition. And according to Greasel from DX speedrunning Discord - "STRATIGIES" are not even a part of the OG's texture.

Now featuring grain on glossy grass texture! (I swear, if they do not add any of modern techniques for rendering actual grass and leave it as is - I am going to scream)

This desperately needs ambient occlusion.. and global illumination. And way more decals and small details and different light placement and better models. IT NEEDS MORE CARE!

I have just rebuild coroutine storage in save system to properly store not only execution stack but also a value stack and I am very happy with myself, cause the save system now handles nested coroutine calls and properly returns to functions which called them 🫡

Just under a day left until CULTIC: Chapter Two launches!

Getting some last minute stuff finished up today, so I'll see you all at the finish line tomorrow!

Unity frame limiter is inaccurate and it's not placebo; it affects games all over - the moment they use this in-built frame limiter, they are at a mercy of the Windows timer resolution (1ms) and they stutter. Special K increases the resolution to 0.5ms so it works better, but still far from ideal.

Eventually. Hopefully before the end of the year.

I have no idea how we went from "There is nothing I want to play" to "How do I even prioritize these"

If you don't know EleskaBell - you really should check her channel out. She's is very friendly, easy to talk to and very entertaining - even if the games she chooses are often not something I would play personally.

Be glad if you are not bordering Russia😐

Much better now.

All I get now is Github Issues and people demanding I fix and update old projects and there is nothing ever to gain from it, nothing to share to be proud of. And the projects I am having fun working on - nobody cares about those. This is just not fun. 😫

Rise again. Finish the fight.

CULTIC: Chapter Two launches September 18th!
