My daughter wrote a report on video game development when she was in 5th or 6th grade. Through some connections we got an invite to go to Double Fine studios and have a sit down with Tim Schaefer. He is exactly what you would hope. Nicest guy in the world, absolutely loves what he does and loves talking about it. He gave my daughter a tour of the place, showed her how they thought about designing games, talked her ear off for more than an hour, gave her some keepsakes (design documents from some games they had shipped).
For Psychonauts 1, to really get inside the characters heads, they created their own fake internal Facebook-type site and play acted how all the characters would interact on social media.
Unfortunately the communities that I’m interested in didn’t really move. I tried very hard to just quit Reddit cold turkey, but instead I’ve dialed it back to only 4-5 core topics that I’m interested in. For general doomscrolling I mostly use Apple News now. I check Lemmy every day or two but it’s hard to get stuck in when the discussions I’m interested in aren’t really flourishing here. Hopefully it grows over time.
Cyberpunk 2077. I waited a year for the bugs to be sorted out, got it for half price, and it was just a very blah game. The Ascent is a way better game both in terms of being cyberpunk-y and also just being a fun game.
The fact that the login UI has username, password, and 2FA code all on one screen means this immediately wins. I hate this new trend of “put in your email, now go to another screen, put in your password, now go to another screen…” Ugh. My password manager can autofill more than one box at a time, you know!
You can get a ps5 now for the price of a decent video card.
I played through 1-3 again recently. Two is still amazing. The others are OK.
yep i have been a sodium citrate convert since i watched an adam ragusea video on the topic. https://piped.video/watch?v=KcM_MZoJWOo
i picked up a bag off amazon for cheap and it really is magic.
i’ve got a max size phone… can’t one hand it.
iPhone didn’t have native swipe keyboard until 2019. I’m guessing a lot of people had iPhones for years without having a native swipe option so they just never bothered with it. I’m definitely in that category. Honestly I totally forgot it was even a thing until reading this post just now. After years of practice I’m crazy fast with two thumb typing, I can only imagine swipe would slow me down to the point of irritation.
Looks good to me. I love a good rail shooter. Wish Namco and sega would bring their old arcade shooters to console VR. Time crisis, house of the dead, dead storm pirates, let’s go jungle…. Please give it to me!
I had high hopes for switchback but it was a crushing disappointment. Hopefully the patch comes out soon and redeems it.
The whole point of federation is that you don’t have to pick just one place. You can add communities from nsfw instances, communities from nerd tv instances, communities from your geographic locality, etc…
I just bought and finished The Ascent a month ago! It was excellent. If you haven’t played it yet and you have Extra, it is well worth your time. Much better cyberpunk than Cyberpunk 2077.
Yeah, I tried and failed at the party a bunch of times before the final loop. I did fail at it on my first try of the final, but I nailed it on the second. (I sneak to the top of the mansion, drop down into the room with the beer in it and shut off the valves. Alexis will come down looking for his chocolate beer without anyone else, you can just pop him. It seems to dial down the number of eternalists by a lot once he’s killed.)
Great game. I’m going to go back and check out the other Arkane titles now.
Finally finished Deathloop. (Well, I completed the main missions… there’s still a zillion side things, trophies to chase, etc… But I probably won’t bother with that.)
It was fantastic!
you can view pretty much the complete history at groups.google.com. if there any usenet group still active they would show up there as well but it’s a wasteland as far as i can tell. pity, i spent billions of hours on it back in the day.
here’s a group i was active on back in the day, if you can filter it by just stuff from the 1990’s you might have an idea of what it was like to use it. (of course, it was mostly terminal/console based text readers back then, web browsers were new and scary.) https://groups.google.com/g/rec.music.synth
Yeah, I just noticed that none of my comment replies or original posts have made it from sh.itjust to l.world. Bummer. Guess the shit doesn’t just work.
The most money I ever made in the music industry was being part of a class action lawsuit against MTV. Record sales and live shows are nothing.
