I tried the Pink Lemonade one (I love that goofy seasonal/promotional junk). Way too sweet of course, but surprisingly decent for a Pop-Tart. Video games? I ended up not liking Steamworld Dig much, disliked Gunman Clive a lot (surprisingly ugly in motion, although at least it took less than 45 minutes. I don't think I'd even suffer it on mobile to be honest, this here's a good replacement for the time), but am enjoying Contraption Maker quite a bit. Such a blast from the past! I do hope it gets a little more relaxed with the parts (so I can try and break it), but I just got passed the first middle difficulty. I also checked and it looks like the Armadillo Run guy announced a new game last month

Real hurthling! posted:it plays fine from the beta but turning and aiming are slower on controller so either you or the people you play against will be lovely depending on how skilled you are. Yeah, I figured. I'm not super competitive at FPS games so I don't really mind that. It's more that if I'm playing with a controller (because couch gaming), I want everyone else to be playing with a controller, too. Could still get it on PC, guess it mostly depends which of my friends plays the most and how much the siren song of the couch lures me to PS4.

I wish Notch would turn a corner like Pewdiepie and become a good role model for all the young folks that enjoy his stuff, but he seems like a genuine lost cause. He was a poo poo, and money made him more of a poo poo - bitter and shittier because being rich makes your friends seem like greedy jerks only hanging out with you for money's sake. If I had that much money and it was making me as miserable as it's making this dude, I'd be donating it to charity left and right, funding school programs, funding OTHER indie game devs, etc, in addition to obviously getting shitloads of therapy to try to put this nonsense into context. Maybe even paying money to disappear somewhere where people didn't know I was rich as God, so I can have normal relationships again. Twitter is probably the least helpful thing Notch could be doing right now with his life (Him and TotalBiscuit. I'm surprised they're not bitter internet buds already? Are they? They'd be a Twitter power couple of impotent anti-S.J.W. rage.) I'm drunk, forgive me if I sounded like an rear end. Hope y'all are having a really nice night! (Kite, you're an inspiration for wishing people to have nice days/evenings.)

Yeah it's bad when people say lovely and hurtful things, and apologizing for it may not undo it, but it's better than not owning up to it an apologizing.

Like for being incredibly obnoxious he still seems like a decent person at the end of the day. I feel like being rich/well-known enables a person to really change the world in a positive way, so it's especially tragic to me to see someone with that power (like Notch) piss it away being contrary and edgy like a goddamn 14-year-old, wasting it on petty stupid twitter-poo poo, hardly doing anything to actually improve the world we're in. gently caress's sake, Bill Gates is putting a huge dent in MALARIA and Notch is whining about feminists on Twitter. Priorities!

Just quitting Twitter would do the guy some good and actually working on a thing. Something, even if it's a fund for other developers. Like, Woody Allen did some objectively abhorrent things in his life but he kept producing things that people liked and now he'll be remembered as the "genius film-maker who also likely molested his stepdaughter and married his adopted daughter" instead of the other way around. Though if notch keeps this up, maybe becoming a cautionary tale will be better for humanity than minecraft.

VoidBurger posted:Hell yeah to both of these posts. Being a decent person is good and nice. Like if someone came forward and said straight-up "I used to be racist. But now I'm not, because I realized that I was a product of my environment, and I made the choice to grow as a person and become tolerant", the response should not be "holy poo poo I can't believe you used to be racist, what a terrible person". As a society, we should support positive change, because that's what we want.

Hell yeah it is  It's fast and punchy with a suitably ridiculous story to go with it. I bought it at a discount from GreenManGaming but it plays very well on the consoles too. Mouse and keyboard are not required. The multiplayer isn't the best but I had fun with it just enough to get the two achievements tied to it but I have a feeling that it will be dead soon. SnapMap looks somewhat robust but also limiting. I'm sure there is some great stuff that could be made if the community is willing to work within those limits.VoidBurger posted:Not only did he apologize/regret making rape jokes and saying nasty poo poo in his old videos (saying something like "I should delete or censor these, ugh..."), but he also made a stand about "Fans That I Don't Want", ie: people that mock his Make-a-Wish kids for being odd-looking.

speaking of bill gates, microsoft will probably make more money off of minecraft than notch did and we know bill gates will donate money so in some sense it will be paid forward it wouldnt surprise me if they already have made more on the game than notch just based off of how many platforms they've gotten minecraft onto by now i think about how nolan bushnell sold atari for $28 million and a year later the company was worth $2 billion

What gets me about the Pewdiepie turnaround is that (unlike Paula Deen's racism scandal, which hurt her brand/image), he didn't really have a solid PR-related reason to quit with the rape joke and slurs and whatever. He was doing just fine doing that gross stuff, the kids didn't mind it, his channel was still growing... he wasn't hurting financially because of any scandals or anything. I think it says something about his character that he decided to renege on that behavior without having a backlash to incite him doing so.

I think it would be difficult to design a platform more antithetical to real conversations, thoughtful exchange of ideas, and personal growth if you tried. Occasionally people make funny jokes on it, but it'd be hard not to occasionally say something cool if you posted dozens of one-liners and burns a day.

I like Twitter as the place where comedians/scriptwriters put their jokes that aren't good enough for their stand up act/tv show. I don't really get it for anything else though, like it seems like just a really good way to do weird stuff with comedy I have no idea how people actually use it as a social media site.

Yeah, I agree, but at the same time, I don't really want to make "why people own up to their behavior" to be something I judge them for. People do good things for bad reasons and bad things for good reasons all the time. At the end of the day, it's good when people do good things and bad when people do bad things. It's sad when people do bad things with good intentions, and also sad when people do good things only for selfish reasons, but ultimately, people doing good things is good, and I'm glad when they do them.

https://twitter.com/PepitoTheCat Unlike those things I just mentioned, I also follow this twitter called PepitoTheCat which is a video feed a guy has rigged up to a twitter bot on his computer that takes a screenshot every time his cat goes in and out of his house and posts it automatically. https://twitter.com/PepitoTheCat/status/734919641626185728 https://twitter.com/PepitoTheCat/status/734932909103153153 Regardless of its informational value and the lack of a dialogue between people that it provides, it is an example of why twitter is a good platform because this could not have been done nearly as easily or in a way so easily accessible anywhere else. No, this twitter does not provide anything of worth to the people who follow it except minor entertainment when the cat goes in and out like 10 times in 5 minutes, but who cares CJacobs fucked around with this message at 04:00 on May 24, 2016 |

Seeing people bring up video game guys who suddenly come into money and whether or not they donate to charity, I don't remember it all that well because it was a few years ago now but like, I think I remember that some people were actually upset the guy who made FNAF donated a bunch of money to charities because he felt it was his duty as a Christian (can't remember exactly what he said) and they became like, almost offended when they found out he was a religious person. Like it was a given or something at everyone involved in games would be an atheist or something. It was super bizarre.
