I tried the #GroundZero demo and I believe I recognized a certain Brad Vickers @evansabba.bsky.social!

Looks like he's about as intelligent as Steve in that trailer too. At 0:24 he walks towards an enemy and when he's attacked he reacts by... walking towards the enemy

He changed his name to Vergil and escaped to the demon world so he can avoid paying for child support

Tried an ironman challenge run of @rymante.bsky.social's Hellish Rogues #Doom2 WAD where I limited myself to playing with only the keyboard... it didn't go too well

ObjectExplorer -> Native Singletons -> via.render.Renderer -> Reflection Properties -> RenderConfig -> Variable -> via.render.RenderConfig -> Reflection Properties -> SharpnessSetting

I tested in RE4R and I'm not sure if that setting does anything in that game. I couldn't see a difference

I'll eventually be able to reproduce this for POP2 as well. It's taking quite a while to finish (been working on this for years now), but I've been reverse-engineering POP2 and re-implementing it from scratch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrxa...

I'm happy to see my mod be mentioned!

I've been doing even more stuff related to the POP classics. It's taking a long time, but I'm currently reverse-engineering and re-writing the codebase for POP2. I'll make my code open-source when done and include various optional improvements to the game

Maybe the solution is to do what the console name implies and SWITCH TO another system.

... I'd like to deeply apologize for that pun. I'll go repent and become a monk or something.

Switch 2 version of #ResidentEvilRequiem was just announced. I think I would recommend this version for people who want additional horror in the game.

Just look at that hair!! Goes from being yummy hair strands to terrifying dithering of doom

Did she... did she explain how she "caught" it?

I'm checking out the "Black Art of 3D Game Programming" book from the 90's. It does a great job explaining how to do 3D in software (and a ton of other stuff).

One piece of text is funny to read now. FPS expectations were a bit lower back then:

Maybe PSOs were a mistake. Let's all just go back to fixed function GPU APIs. Quake 3 runs good on modern hardware!

After that new #ResidentEvilRequiem trailer, I think Capcom is legally obligated to patch this objective into RE8

Pathfinding is pretty simple in the old C&C games. If a wall is hit, a unit walks around the wall until they're on other side, and then continue towards the goal

If you find it too annoying, there are mods that replace the pathfinding with A*: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

Did you have a setup where this happened automatically as you played? I'd love to do something similar. It would be fun to stream the old Sierra games, but I'm not too keen on personally narrating all the text in the game
