it's not the zaniest thing to have come out of the f̴i̶f̸t̷e̷e̵n̷ mod, but having the master key on your active items is unnerving for some reason

The cluelessness of this reminds me a lot of the NFT grift. The thing about NFTs was that it was mainly something finance bros were into, and when they were trying to worm their way into gaming, their pitches were an abyssal trench of bad ideas because they couldn't grasp why people played games.

Do indie games need someone like me, who prompts AI to make marketing materials?

The USS Voyager took 87 years, 3 months and 23 days to return to Earth, walking the entire way on its tiny little legs. Ensign Harry Kim did not receive a single promotion.

DS1 Friendly Reinforcement Mod - PUBLIC RELEASE This mod changes the reinforcement system to let you use titanite to reinforce many weapons, instead of having to dedicate all your titanite towards one weapon. Total titanite required for each level of reinforcement is the same as vanilla.

Disappointed that the Ocarina of Time remake looks like every Unreal Engine fan rendering of the game. Very little personality on display so far, and it's all so *busy*.

Until very recently, the word “woke” conveyed something beautiful: political awakening in the context of the African-American liberation struggle. The way it has been forcibly stripped from that context and transformed into a ubiquitous term of derision is shockingly cruel & inherently anti-black 1/

I never played Sonic the Hedgehog because Sega were cowards and refused to answer if Sonic liked cock or not

Actual adult people who work in the mainstream press talk to this guy and take him seriously. He's a white supremacist, yes, but he's also just a premium sexless dork.

I've been working on this for over a year: I'm remaking all of Ocarina of Time's prerenders in 3D, trying to match the N64 style rather than the 3DS one. The provisional name is OoT unJPEG. It will be distributed as both a romhack that runs on real N64 hardware and a mod for Zelda 64 Recompiled.

I mean, when given the opportunity to enact democratic processes, most conservatives vote directly against themselves, their own interests, and the good of their community. An unbroken loop of punching themselves in the dick and blaming liberals.

And thus, I was able to import the geometry of the first Daventry map of King's Quest 8... into THE DOOM ENGINE!!! This makes me happy. (the buildings need to be remade from scratch though)

I was playing King's Quest 8 the other day and found out that there are heightmap files for every world in the data folder. Imported them in Blender and did some rough reconstructing. It's so cool to now see how the environment actually looks without all the fog.

Fucking disgusted at my old university for doing this

Jesus. 35 UK universities quietly- without debate - joined the Ministry of Defence’s “Battlefield Alliance” which seeks to “reorientate academia towards Defence and National Security” They’re destroying the social sciences and humanities while militarising the institutions

It's likely why many areas in DSII are criticised for being gankfests - because the spaces were designed in isolation, with the encounters being thrown together in the rush to get the game finished, rather than the encounters being integral to the area design. Reducing the dull corridors was good.

Don't get me wrong, I still would have loved to have seen what DSII could have been, and I think it's probably the most fascinating entry in the series for datamining - but would it have been a better game if Shibuya had finished it? I highly doubt it. He seemed to favour excess over focus.

There are already far too many long caves, corridors and hallways in the game we got. Pointless bits of nothingness stitching together the actual interesting areas, like the path to Heide's Tower of Flame, that have little to *do* in them. The cut maps look like they all would have had this problem.

Of course, we can't know what enemies, obstacles and actually interesting stuff would have populated the endless caves and walkways littering the game data, but it speaks to a game design that was more dungeon crawler than the tighter, denser spaces of Demon's Souls or Dark Souls I.
