oddium posted:i hate having to manually take out a new weapon after one breaks in the middle of a fight, which happens at least once per fight because weapons only last for maybe two enemies. i hate that things like the torch or the leaf are obviously not meant to be used in fights but they take up weapons slots anyway I agree on the leaf/torch thing I just stopped carrying a torch since there's usually one there already in places where you need one (and if not you can use fire arrows) The clubs and stuff from the little moblin guys break pretty quick but once you start finding better equipment with like 20-30+ attack it seems last a pretty decent amount of time because I'm always full on weapons now. The durability doesn't really bother me though I think the variety is neat But I did end up in a combat trial shrine I think was taking on way too early and it broke all my weapons (but I got 3 super strong ones as a reward so it was ok)

Actually going to call you out on this because it seems like the only guy talking bad about the option is Junpei Hyde who doesn't like it for a totally different reason Well, besides the guy whose name is African AIDS cum but something tells me their posts are intended to rile folks up, perhaps their name of African AIDS cum is indicative of this

I took a break from playing the Witness to get on Uurnog (by the guy who made Knytt) and it's cuuuuuute. These boxes keep making cute noises as I ferry them around and there's a bird set of boxes that flies and I'm just so charmed by everything in this game, even when a gun goes off at the wrong moment and nukes half of my cube collection. e: Also just in case folks missed it Uurnog's on the humble store for sale. Dunno if it's going to steam.

Yeah I didn't keep up with Twitter stuff and when I heard Jontron was being horrible on twitter I thought maybe he typed something that came off poorly. Then I checked. Nope that's not the case

I think separating art from artist is a lot harder for video games because the developer is often such an integral part of the game itself, not just in its marketing and branding but also its creation. In a lot of cases you can feel their influence while you're playing, especially if you're aware of how deep their involvement was in it. Fez is a wonderful and puzzling game with a great art style and good atmsophere, but I bet no small number of people didn't buy it or couldn't enjoy it because of the looming shadow of Phil Fish. edit: And I think such severe examples exist for all forms of consumable media regardless. Have you ever tried reading HP Lovecraft's writing instead of the wikipedia summary of his writing? CJacobs fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Mar 5, 2017 |

a lot of the previous generation that got into gamedev were of the generation that got bullied and then became the bullies. this generation and next generation still have kids who will grow into conservative assholes but by and large the younger generations seem to have more innate empathy and consideration for others, that I feel like gamedev will continue to improve in many ways LPing is probably no different demographically speaking. lp zone forum seems really socially conscious but i also feel like there's barely anyone of my age there except maybe the people who created it doug tenappel is weird in that while he is an artist, a lot of what he has done is just be An Idea Man where he pitches an idea and then other people do it. all of his TV shows were like that, I assume his games are like that too

A relevant quote by Warren Buffet: "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently." Unfortunately for Warren Buffet, this knowledge does not in fact cause people to do things differently. Hence people like Jontron's self-immolation.

I really like NWA's music but I didn't watch Straight Outta Compton because all I could think of was the time Dr. Dre cracked a woman's head open against a bathroom wall because she said NWA's music was sexist in an interview, and the rest of the outfit supported him.

Straight Outta Compton caught quite a bit of flak for not mentioning it (and other Dr Dre related incidents like it) despite taking place during the era of the group when it happened, for what it's worth
