That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

So! First, we talked about a specific subgenre of first person shooter, loosely starting with Unreal and Half-Life and dying off around…

what’s your most unhinged opinion about engagement farming?

Yup. I wonder if one of those YouTube mashup channels would do it

Game dev friends, I am looking for any resources on making 3D outdoor levels based on real life locations because I'm trying to make a game based on real life locations and am thirsty for learning.

See, lateralus was my first thought and then I went "right, but what's weirder? Rosetta stoned"

I would also be interested in Stranded or The Gift of Guilt

Unfortunately without being silly, billionaire madness will turn this into a "we made the torment Nexus" situation

Hey Voice Actors!!

Once upon a time the community was fairly easy to find on twitter, but it's getting harder to keep track of all the VAs I know across social media, so I'm finally making my own (long overdue) private roster for clients that like to cast through demo reels!

You can sign up below!

I know, right? One of our projects at mischief came from the question "what kind of asshole would try to show some kids a dead body"

It's all good. I was thinking about how mad a couple people got that the game I set up earlier wouldn't let them use the game to portray themselves as good people (since the goal was to get people to be silly). Some people are really uncomfortable with not taking themselves seriously

I think I understand why, in video games, something like 90% of players or so prefer to pick the good guy options. Hahaha

Yes I thought it was obvious in the first post, but some people did not seem to think so, so I clarified below. I made the assumption everyone got "you have money so your mind will start decaying rapidly and there's only one way to stop it"

It's okay not to play the game, then! All good

Seconding that! I've gotten so much fun out of Scumhead's games (most of them free, like the Lycanthorn and Shrine series') that I feel morally obligated to grab this immediately.

the fact that this little game with clear rules managed to cause as much discourse as it did is insane

I’ve been really enjoying my copy. It looks amazing, the quality of the writing is incredible (love the article by @malcolmcraig.bsky.social) and it SMELLS great (remember getting an annual on Christmas Day?)

Treat yourself and support independent magazines.

If you can joke about yourself and be silly, it gives you a kind of elasticity that lets you be resilient.

All the bad fascist types we see doing stupid stuff? They're all deeply insecure. They're afraid to be silly. They're desperate to be taken seriously. So it's a healthy exercise to be silly.

It's delicious. I want to make it myself and drink it forever

Unfortunately the curse works specifically by whether or not you're being silly. Remember, a key component is that the thing you buy can't be useful. You're paying for utilities, which is useful. Conditions are met, curse activates, you become Billionaire Brained

It does have to be possible, according to the rules

BTW folks, if you're watching the video on Mobile. It'd really help if you hit the "hype" button.

You can "hype" the same video 3 times.
