All y'all motherfucks that are complaining about subscription heated seats and the like can be reassured that from May to October, the price to subscribe is only 10 bucks a month, and from November to April, its 35 bucks a month. So you're getting a DISCOUNT in the summer.

Just spend $20-100 on heated seat covers you plug into the cigarette lighter.

What a dumb loving thing to pay subscription fees over.

My solution is to just not buy any cars made after about 2016 or so. Sure, it won't be much fun when all the other cars can drive/fly themselves, but knowing that if I keep my machine in working order it will start even if it has no internet connection will be worth it.

That's not cursed, that's awesome as hell!

Seeing an Escher'esq visual illusion animated is just really cool. The different sized windows and pots on the different parts of the wall is a nice touch to make it easier to follow.

Do wish there were more video games that played around with that type of thing. Subliminal did and it was great.

The original Prey somehow had cooler Escherian level design than basically any other game since, and I still do not understand why it has been such a relatively unexplored aspect of "you can literally create a world based on any concepts of physics and geometry you want"

The video game market is cram-packed full of WW2 games and I am sick to death of them. My discord group is all hoppin' with people testing the new Company of Heroes 3 beta that opened up.

It's the same goddamn fights! I've probably killed more Nazis at Normandy Beach specifically than who were actually in that theater of war! (across all games/25+ years) Why on earth don't we have maps like "invasion of London" or "assault of Tokyo" or hell, "Landing at NY", "Bombing of LA" or loving anything creative/interesting at all

I assume with absolutely no data that you have to keep war games specifically to actual and fairly well-known war zones or somebody somewhere will get really mad about it being too controversial?

The exception being you can probably make a game about people invading your own country and have it be fine, so we need a crack English team to make INVASION: LONDON

That would be legit really cool. Even just seeing that period in china recreated in a modern gaming engine could be amazing if they put in the effort. And while the gameplay on those games seems really generic they do usually seem like they put a lot of time in getting the setting rights

Also I'm pretty sure what ever the opposite of something getting banned in china is, that game would get it.

Nazis unambiguously bad, so shoot nazis all day. All you need to do to design the mission is watch that part of Band of Brothers. It's tried, tested, historic, and easy.

Alt-history things require actual creative effort, detailed world-building, and if the bad guys actually win some battles, you can face accusations that you're secretly a nazi chud because the Nazis did anything successfully.

The Emu War would easily work as a pacman inspired collection and run: get grain, avoid the frustrated soldiers, and you get infinite lives because the drat birds so ridiculously outnumbered everything.

Now an Great Emo War game I'd like to see.

Yeah, I totally agree. I think, discovering how simple of a concept 'Non-Euclidean' actually is really opened my eyes to how surprising it is it doesn't exist more in computer games. I always thought it was some super complex mathematical thing (and I guess probably fully describing it is, but) essentially all it means is that objects or spaces can exist in the same place as each other. So, y'know you go into a room through one door and the head to the exit, and the exit is the same door as the one you came in through back into the same room. Because the entrance and the exit exist in the same space physically as each other. Or like you go downstairs and it takes you to a room above the one you were in.

I imagine it's harder to design this stuff, but, it's still trivially easy compared to real life, and so you can have experiences that can only exist in the digital format. I think it's awesome to move around in and explore these kinds of scenes, however:

This is a hard and fast undeniable truth which means that a successful game in this genre will never be one that really explores it in an especially mind bending way, and why Portal was so successful, I think

About that rear end in a top hat hosing down the homeless woman




quote:

Police are guarding the Foster Gwin Gallery in the Financial District a day after a video of the business owner turning a hose on a homeless woman went viral. 

Gallery owner Collier Gwin has since received a smashed front door and a deluge of one-star Google reviews in light of the incident—the business is now listed online as temporarily closed.

A manned SFPD patrol car now sits outside the beleaguered storefront. The police department has been contacted for comment.

In the wake of the ensuing rage, San Francisco police chief Bill Scott urged calm.
