Going to use this thread to shoutout AM2R which is just as good as Nintendo quality. It also has a great Prime-style OST in a 2d game which none of the other games had done before.

(fuck nazis, but) bro you are 10000% too deep into this. It’s just an operating system
- Comment on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for iOS shuts down over "unfixable bug" 6 days ago:
I’ve never known SE to have infamously bad code except for when the first started doing pc ports. 13-1 and 13-2 were bad but 13-3 has a good reputation.

Just get a switch, the entire crisis about this gen causing a second industry crash is nonexistent over there. We got like six new games for xmas this year
- Comment on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for iOS shuts down over "unfixable bug" 1 week ago:
Think I know what happened here. Apple doesn’t approve updates if there’s anything broken or outdated in it. ie, support for a new screen aspect ratio, the dynamic island thing, new processor type, etc. Square can’t just fix one bug and ship it, they have to also update whatever parts of the app don’t work right with all the latest phones. If they don’t think that’s worth the time spent, it’d make more sense (to bean counters) to retire the app entirely.

He’s probably right but it feels like I accidentally clicked on a ragebait channel and my algorithm is going to be weird for a few days.

I did use slack; we had general channels with tons of people and smaller channels/meeting rooms with 5-30 people. If it was a 5-30 channel they can be found.

Fuck off; this is doxxing and mass harassment. If you want social change go ahead but do it peacefully.

Even so, they’re going find this guy fast. Just have to cross reference all this participants of the leaked meetings

- Comment on Reuters: New research backs up that video games can be an antidote to stress and anxiety [interactive article] 3 weeks ago:
Most FPSs give me the same feeling. Whenever I play one I ask myself, do I want to relax or get amped up from gaming today? and maybe play something relaxing instead
- Comment on Think this is a realistic prediction or just being used to hype up investors? 4 weeks ago:
Probably both. But within 5-10 years it’ll still be in the range of tech demos and indie games, not AAA
- Comment on Large Language Models in Video Games? 4 weeks ago:
Tiny models only get stupid like that because you’re compressing a general purpose model that knows everything in the world farther than it can handle. If you start with a model that only knows how to speak basic english and info about a few hundred things in the game world, it can be much smaller.
- Comment on GTA VI Might Inspire Other AAA Developers to Price Their Games at $100 4 weeks ago:
I know, star fox 64 cost me $70 too. Part of the reason why i can’t blame them that much
- Comment on GTA VI Might Inspire Other AAA Developers to Price Their Games at $100 4 weeks ago:
This seems fine given the scale of the game and assuming it’s not bad, but it’s more worrying how it will lead to $100 shovelware five years from now. We already had Zelda at $70 (also worth it) so i could see a trend forming.
- Comment on Large Language Models in Video Games? 4 weeks ago:
They don’t need a ton of ram if you use a tiny LLM customized for the game’s use cases, and that’s what games would be doing.

Since games take 5+ years to make now we’re probably in for a wave of metaverse products soon.

no it’s like fortnite or cod. They usually have a low barrier to entry and then make profit from microtransaction and ELO hell
- Comment on All the Games Reportedly Set for Release on Nintendo Switch 2 - IGN 5 weeks ago:
I’m not saying they’re doing the right thing but this take is always such an overreaction. Among all the evil in the world today nintendo’s actions are relatively minor and widespread piracy gives them a legit reason for doing it
- Comment on All the Games Reportedly Set for Release on Nintendo Switch 2 - IGN 5 weeks ago:
there is no chance any of the major Switch 2 games will run on Switch 1. If switch 1 could run elden ring or FF7R they’d have released those games years ago

- Comment on What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game? 1 month ago:
- Getting to the final boss of persona 3 as my first SMT game, feeling actually scared irl, fighting it for over an hour and then getting wiped out when it had less than one pixel of hp left. The party AI was sabotaging me and I was coming up with new strategies in real time to counteract it, it was great
- The final dungeon of FFIV-2 (yes I agree the game is shit). I had to finish it in one night because I was going back to college the next morning. My real world scheduling was good but I didn’t plan for it to be the longest final dungeon in FF history. Luckily the entire thing was really fun and I played for 12 hours until sunrise, delirious while taking down the final boss and getting to see the credits roll.
