  Man I wish. Those puzzles are ingrained in my skull forever.

  I like rice but kind of like how I like bread. It’s carbs that you put with other stuff give it more substance. On its own it can be OK (since its carbs) but pretty bland.

  Wow it evolved from an Empoisoned game to a Swumbles Big Jumble game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a new paradigm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like this isn’t exclusive to indie games.
  Empoisoned games: Forespoken, Bloodborne, Metal Gear Rising Revengance

  Swumbles Big Jumble games: Assassin’s Creed (plus subtitle), John Madden Football (and other similarly titled sports games), any legend of zelda game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't hate Body Type replacing Gender, I hate laziness⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I agree with you there. If you’re gonna just give two or three body type options and no other customization, there should be an androgenous option or at least they should all be generally androgenous. I think the issue with runescape probably stems from how the game was before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't hate Body Type replacing Gender, I hate laziness⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with what others said that more customization is generally good, but not all games really need that level of customization. For something like animal crossing, I think the body type thing is fine, since the designs are more neutral unlike what you’re describing. I think what could help is a third option that’s a more neutral body type. Or maybe if it’s not relevant, just don’t have a body type option.

  I also don’t know much about runescape, but I assume this was an update that just changed the names from genders to body types, so adding other options might have increased the scope of the update. I think at least uncoupling that from gender is at least an improvement over before. Plus, I kinda disagree that people would only pick the corresponding pronouns. Plenty of people have a gender expression that doesn’t necessarily match their gender identity.

  I mean, that’s not cruelty free. Someone’s still gotta animate that. And most good animators either act scenes out beforehand and/or use reference footage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone here play tf2 or dark and darker?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So many games focus mainly on competitive play. Tf2 is the only multiplayer fps where I feel free to relax and goof off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reject reality⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone I know misheard “Tenth Avenue Freestyle” as “Tell the devil you freestyle” and honestly that’s a much more interesting song.

  Also a ton of discoveries and inventions are on accident while looking for completely different things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speaking of controllers: What's your favorite WEIRD controller?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve played lot of slower paced first person games with them. It also feels really nice in games with inventory screens and other mouse-focused ui. I never really tried to get used to them though, they just kind of clicked with me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speaking of controllers: What's your favorite WEIRD controller?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The steam controller was (and still is) fantastic. I once got a comfortable binding for the original System Shock, which already has a pretty untenable control scheme with a keyboard and mouse. Also its haptic feedback can play music.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon reflects on e-sports⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh neat, thanks for the explanation! That makes sense as most of my crt exposure for the past 10 years has been classroom TVs and museum exhibits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon reflects on e-sports⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk if it’s just me but I have pretty good hearing, so I can hear the high pitch tone CRTs make and it drives me crazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I make an image (or video) safe to post online?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right - most media formats have support for metadata, which can include all sorts of things depending on how the image is created. For instance, most phones have an option to add location data to photos.

  A lot of identifiable info like location data is usually an option you can turn off. And there are a lot of tools to remove metadata from files. A quick search brought up this, which seems fairly reputable (and open source, which is usually good for sensitive stuff like this).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gog will delete cloud saves more than 200MB per game after August 31st⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No reason really, there’s just no point to set a super high limit if your save file is a 5kb text file.

  Also valve does review the game and might not like an absurdly high limit, but I don’t know if they actually care or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gog will delete cloud saves more than 200MB per game after August 31st⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah devs get to set the limit. (Source: am a dev w/ a game on steam)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Indie Chat & Recommendation Thread⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Distance is a criminally underrated racing platformer cyberpunk horror game. Worth it for the campaign alone IMO but there’s also multiplayer, a level editor with workshop support, two bonus campaigns, car customization, and a track generator.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Half-Life⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Half-Life and Portal had a huge impact on my life. In high school I was in the source modding community, so I’m probably too familiar with valve’s engines and games. I made a few mods, the most well known being hl2 classic, and it kinda got me into game development.

  But needless to say, it’s a fantastic series. I had a chance to play alyx and it was nuts. It’s crazy how influential this series and its technology is on gaming as a whole.

  And a fun fact: quake had a feature where level designers could make a light flicker with a pattern of brightnesses. There were some premade patterns you could select as well. These made it into the goldsrc engine, then source, then source 2 - so Alyx, Quake, HL1, HL2, Portal, Portal 2, and more have lights that flicker in the exact same way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Half-Life⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing with pushing stuff and it moving really fast was actually a bug in the steamb release. It finally got fixed last November for the 25th anniversary update.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interactive Loading Screens - High Hell⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re not interactive but Spec Ops: The Line’s loading screens stick out to be. They start out as pretty standard tips and lore info, but then starts giving you stuff like the definition of ptsd, a fun fact about increasing suicide rates in the military, or just telling you you’re not a good person. Occasionally the normal loading screen is entirely replaced with a ghostly image.
