Basebuilding/dungeon crawling/pixel art/roguelike. Kinda like ADOM meets stardew, but weirder and more Japanese. Weirder how? Here’s the wiki entry on the chaos shape race, which you can play as.
VERY in depth systems in the game. Mutations, crafting, prayer, it’s a deep game.
Star Wars Galaxies was such an ambitious MMO at launch.
Crazy in depth crafting system, especially with regards to pets. With how materials were randomly generated and cycled out it created a market that actually experienced booms and scarcity.
Some of the servers went almost a year before all the materials required for certain weapons spawned. And the materials all had random stats that would affect the item you crafted.
As if we needed more proof that the company that owns DE is absolute trash.
The dad wasn’t really tilted, I got the sense that he’s always this apologetic about his son being “a little retarded.”
Or how many parents just kinda suck.
Joined a random game of Helldivers recently. Two guys and a kid are playing, one is the dad. I’m the random on the team.
Cool. Kinda wholesome at first. Kid is easily under 10 though and it’s the highest difficulty and you can tell that when things pick up they have no clue what’s going on.
Totally cool. Part of what makes the game great is a little co op goes a long way and dying isn’t really serious. And they got that, there was light hearted team killing, everyone seems focused on the most important aspect of the game: having fun.
But when the dad died and gets stuck spectating his kid, he keeps calling him a retard when he’s not understanding some gameplay mechanic.
This just one scary side of AI.
The idea of corporate level integration of this stuff is straight out of Black Mirror.
We’re right around the corner from the corpo AI keeping tabs on your pupil dilation as you read your emails. If we aren’t there already.
Kinda odd and you can see it in my comments, but yesterday I made a Lynch reference.
Then I talk about David Fincher, but since I always mix those two Davids up I was very consciously not typing Lynch later.
That was all before news went public so needless to say he was on my mind a lot of yesterday. Very Lynchian.
The windchimes are not what they seem.
Helldivers 2 for similar reasons.
If you took a second to read you’d find their usefulness isn’t withstanding attack, but being able to quickly deploy after an attack.
You’re acting as if there’s some magical form of energy generation that is impervious to modern munitions.
Gonna make a novelty insta devoted to hairy male nipples
Bet it can beat Tik Tok to a congressional ban
There’s a few at work who have admitted to still playing. Blizzard owes a lot to the very concrete social structures built around the game.
Not just worried about dropping, but this is something you press down on.
People generally clumsy or pressing too hard are going to have a bad time if they manage to break the glass while pressing down.
Maybe? Depends on how it’s used and if it looks good. Maybe they chose it because it looks a bit shit.
The Creator garnered some attention because it looked great while being shot on a relatively inexpensive camera. I do think people would be really surprised at what you’d get with a gimbal mounted cellphone with a 360° camera in terms of special effects integration, but this might not be their route.
If they’re like their cousins you don’t want a pet that smart. Especially with a trunk. Good luck mammoth proofing your house.
2028 gonna be a good year for gaming
The heart is blackened.
It is!
I find it’s easier to regulate heat from the bottom zipper most of the time. Also if you have any belted gear or just need to grab something in your pockets it’s easier than a full unzip. Or if you’re a guy and you’re taking a piss.
Or you can grab the corners, wrap them up over your elbows and pretend you can fly.
