Honestly the dialogue is pretty awful. It was charming in the first game but now in the second one I really noticed how often they just say meaningless and hollow stuff. It also just often seems so unnatural and forced.

How some models are like supernatural reminds me of how in WW1 British sniper rifles were just regular service rifles which did well on the tests and so more accurate these were then fine tuned by specialists for snipers. I could imagine that stuff for gundams as well.

Isn’t the shift in keys also just a tenant from type writers? Pretty sure it was just a thing because the levers of the keys could not be on top each other and actually had no ergonomic benefit.

I am way to susceptible for these kind of games. It hurts me to even think how many hours I wasted on VS, 9 Kings, Mega Bonk, Brotato, and similar dopamine mills. I never get anything out of it except the mind numbing fun you get from scrolling TikTok.

30*100*3=9000 but that is if you assume they are being efficient with it. One could imagine that some eat more than they need or other just don’t get any. So, a bit lower would be more realistic.

He is still a crazy talented pilot as well. That kinda goes on top of that.

There is also a website for that which is pretty simple and nice for that kind of stuff. It’s called mass crop images or something like that.

I have an HTC Vive which I bought refurbished and I like it but there is some hassle to it. I need to make space to play, do the room play setup, and just wearing the thing is kinda exhausting.
It is all not to bad but at the same tinnitus can keep you from using it that much.

The game would be so much more charming if it just did its own thing instead of relying on memes which were outdated and cringey 5 years ago already. Just some quirky fantasy setting could work nicely for it. Also I get the feeling that many items and builds are just not viable at all.

I recommend ChatGPT is Bullshit by Hicks (2024). He explains the issue with LLMs in a very simple and digestible way which should be understandable for lay people.

Looks cool already. Really like how every wand has multiple spells so the voice activated casting actually has a proper use.

By now we know the creation engine can handle that stuff just fine lmao

I mean Blender is open source so it would be safe. They cannot just buy the rights to it from one organisation.

Interesting read. Wonder though how much difference there would be if we assume fair wages and good working conditions in a country with a lower cost of living e.g. Italy or Poland.

Did they fix some of the game breaking bugs? Had some issues with saving last time I played which made the game unplayable.

Good decision. Overwork is way to normalised in game dev and nobody can give you your health back.

You should put in a bunch of weapons which are only props for the level and cannot be picked up. Bonus points if the player has a pistol but there are shotguns and rifles lying around he cannot pick up.

I am no math Head but I am pretty sure you could flip an infinite amount of times without ever getting ten heads in a row.

I think one issue is that players are just very used to games rewarding exploration and taking their time to to carefully look at everything. Also timers do introduce an element of stress which the player has little control over and might force them to play differently from how they want to.

Not saying Steam doesn’t have these problems but as a regular consumer you will most likely never interact with any steam communities. It is a problem but not one most people would notice.

Malware as a Service has been a thing already. It does not really require that much knowledge anymore to do cyber attacks.
