I’d say it is in the realm of possibility… Not that much in the realm of practicality though.
- Comment on Nexon announces isometric dark fantasy MMORPG Embers of the Uncrowned for PC 5 weeks ago:
Nexon has too many kernel anticheats running with their games, even their own in-house snooper they don’t declare using.
It’s bad practice and I’m staying away from anything bearing their label.
Also, I’m throwing it way out there by saying it looks like Lost Ark and will probably be just as poorly managed.

All good and interesting ideas, the implementation though looks like a headache.
- Comment on Driving game poll 5 weeks ago:
Yet it would be pointless and yes it would get boring. Pointless it can get away with easily enough, but boring, never.
In GTA and even NFS open world games, players would sometimes play by the npc traffic rules. It’s fun and different, in small amounts. But making a whole game about it? Rockstar’s betting on Roblox style development for GTA6. Which means someone’s bound to make a mod for that game doing exactly what you want, but with the foundation already built. It’s an uneven competition.
So to succeed, this kind of game has to have its own shtick. To make it not boring. A way of showing off perhaps? Reactions to activities, which reflect a form of growth or change.

I think some of the staff that was laid off started an alternative to humble, but a lack of presence means they aren’t well known and i have no idea how they’re doing.

Unity makes me hesitate due to their past aggressive data collection issues. Now sure how it is at the moment, but in the past it really, really wanted all your data.

On a scale of 0 to 100, 77 is to 100 what 23 is to 0.

Assume away.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Here’s how it can go from 0 to 100 real quick:
0-23=77-100 => 0+100=77+23 => 100=100 => 23=77

Encased. Had it for a long while, but it’s an abandoned effort of a defunct company aka the money ran out towards the end of development, so they rushed for an early release, but failed to stay afloat. Anyway..
An isometric RPG where you’re the new employee arriving on an extraterrestrial rendition of the Zone. Welcome, Stalker! You got character creation with attributes, skills and perks, you got flinging bolts into anomalies and you got the monolith with zombie stalkers running around hearing voices. What’s not to love? Probably the end game. But I wouldn’t know since I didn’t get that far yet.
Also, the narrator’s voice is that default early LLM voice YouTubers are using for their short alien stories. So, geh.

- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 2 months ago:
I don’t remember, but it was one of those yellow cartridges the size of your palm. I think they were knockoffs. Can’t say for sure.
It was a side-scrolling fighting game with tiny martial arts dudes. It could be played co-op. I think the bald character was overpowered, or I just felt like he was. It was either a tournament style, attacking a rival dojo or both. Or something else.
I liked the cool art on the cartridge.
