i like that kind of thing in theory but when “even weirder” equates to “there are guys to shoot everywhere” i lose interest. alan wake had the same issue. it worked in max payne because the story is already batshit insane.

for me i was done with it almost as soon as it started. for a game called pacific drive you do basically no driving. i had hoped for some sort of supernatural stormchasing sim, but the tiny maps and frequent obstacles mean you really only have any use for the car when leaving or entering. otherwise it’s just in the way.
also, i got so fed up with the damace system that i disabled it, but that also disables quirks, which just seems like the game punishing you for not playing the correct way by removing unrelated gameplay elements.

control is such a cool ip, it’s a real shame that it’s so combat focused. i wanted more mystery, more things to solve. instead i got “look at this weird thing! now shoot some guys next to it” for 10 hours.
like, that thing with the central power generator? genuinely great environmental storytelling. but then they don’t really do anything with it. not that they have to examine every little thing in detail, but… they could have examined some things.
it’s sort of related to how i feel about pacific drive; full of neat ideas that are just used as set dressing for the main loop.

i managed to do that to myself once in my sleep; i had managed to wrap my arm around a lamp cord which came out of the plug, and when i rolled over i managed to put my thumb on the exposed wires.

at least it’s short enough that it will only reach two plugs on the same panel, thereby guaranteeing that the first things that blow are breakers.

the system works exactly as it’s supposed to, which is why it must be destroyed.

i think they’ve even retired the original function of the attribute. sad.
- Comment on Is a web browser using another scripting language feasible? 6 days ago:
there were plans for multiple scripting languages for the web, hence the
type=“javascript”attribute on the<script>tag. the thing that became javascript was originally more like a lisp, but netscape wanted to cash in on the popularity of java applets so they made the language look more java-y.the bones are there, there’s just no sense in implementing it in mainstream browsers now.

- Comment on What do I need to know about the Odyssey before watching the film? 3 weeks ago:
i don’t have any idea what that means. all i know is, the only times i’ve been to an imax it was cramped, hot, and loud, the stairs were dangerously steep, the theatre seated like 50 people, and you had to constantly look around to follow what was happening because rather than filming in a way that supports a large screen, e.g. a small focus area with immersive backgrounds around it, they film it like normal with closeups, dynamic camera angles swooping around during action, and two-camera conversations.
you just felt like a fly spying on giant people. an ambilight tv and a pair of headphones would have been more immersive.
- Comment on What do I need to know about the Odyssey before watching the film? 3 weeks ago:
i’m fine with that, i can’t stand imax theaters. way too loud and you get neck pain from the size of the screen.
- Comment on What do I need to know about the Odyssey before watching the film? 3 weeks ago:
i’d think the point of any good film is to be a self-contained experience. a huge film like this is meant to be seen by everyone, no matters their knowledge on greek mythology.

they built a lemmy frontend that silently fetches a list of people and communities the creator doesn’t like from a server and just… erases them from the ui. people were upset that there was basically a hit list for them compiled for no apparent reason, and when pressed about why he thought anyone would think this was a good idea the dev just left.
