- Comment on After Black Ops 7's weaker launch, Call of Duty will no longer do back-to-back releases in the same series 1 day ago:
Why not CoD2?
MW3 was the one where Russia invades the US, right? That one was good. I think the next one, BO2, was the last one I played. After that, they really fell into the rut of minor iteration.
I might get around to playing some of the others that aren’t in the “high tech” genre. Apparently there was one set during Desert Storm.

Citizen Kane.
You watch it now, and it’s just a regular movie. But in 1941, it was incredibly unorthodox. It set the benchmark for modern movies.

Or, because it’ll hurt more, you twit.

I don’t think the lead level designer is making those decisions.

Did you use any engine or framework for this, or built it from pure code and gl libs?
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 2 weeks ago:
Alt+F4 usually works for that

Also just plain support that. Too many games lock up or outright crash if they lose focus.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 2 weeks ago:
Not a setting, but a “here’s what you did last time/here’s where you need to go now”. If it’s been a little while since I played the game, I shouldn’t be lost trying to figure out where I am or where I’m going.

Indie and slop are not mutually exclusive. Something can be both.

Kerning when it’s good, keming when it’s bad.
- Comment on Hackers Replace 'm' with 'rn' in Microsoft(.)com to Steal Users' Login Credentials 2 weeks ago:
Technically no, since it’s different characters. This is keming.
- Comment on Samus Aran drawing I made 2 weeks ago:
No, I thought so too, but I hunted down OP’s accounts. Here’s his Instagram: www.instagram.com/electricbrainstem/
And if you look at his past comments, he describes his drawing process, and it sounds realistic.
But you’re right that this is a drawn copy of a promo image, and he sells them, especially as tattoo stencils. This is a veiled ad.

You might get better answers in a Linux community, since that’s the focus of your question.

- Comment on UK union accuses GTA maker Rockstar Games of firing employees attempting to organise 4 weeks ago:
They’ve been doing this for a week or two now. No one is quite sure, but usually they’d do it so the admins don’t get a “ban with removal” option.
But the stuff they post seems to be relevant, on-topic, useful material, so I don’t get it.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 4 weeks ago:
2024 is even worse. On top of that, they also stack extra abilities, and try to give everyone everything.
One of these days I should try Pathfinder
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah. I didn’t really enjoy it, but I got into it and finished it. Once I realized that you’re expected to die and respawn frequently, and you don’t lose anything when you do, playing went a lot better.
I still don’t get that decision, because Doom has never been like that. Even arcade games don’t do that. It just felt trivially cheap at that point.

The Talos Principle certainly did in 2014.
- Comment on For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, you’ve identified the problem. You might be able to do it with a non-massive multiplayer game, with significantly lower resource needs.

Everything except the story bits would be procedurally generated. And it would probably get pretty boring having like three interior types repeated over and over.

Different touch detection methods. The squishy DS screens work by physically making contact. Glass phone screens work by detecting electrical capacitance differences.
- Comment on What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you? 5 weeks ago:
And for the translation, they probably just made it a reference to how your only dialogue options in the game are ever yes or no, so when the one NPC asks you an open-ended question, you sound like a weirdo.

Powershell has some nasty little quirks, and the command naming is user-hostile, but god damn is it great to pass objects around instead of parsing and reparsing text.
