Yeah honestly I can't watch the old videos because of the voice and editing it's just too rough, modern stuff is way better

He said in this week's Petty Thief that he's pushing through it so he can do something more people will likely enjoy. It's obviously a passion project for him, but he knows they have a limited audience.

Civvie can do something in a hurry when he wants- when Cultic came out he basically vanished from Twitter for several days and then published a video about it.

Between 04 JAN and 09 JAN 2023, the Popeyes Twitter page posted no updates--the longest hiatus I can remember in recent memory--and it deeply unsettled me as it happened.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:When I was a little kid, I'd play the original Doom with a friend; we called it "tank style": one of us would control the "right" side of the keyboard, using the arrow keys to steer movement, and the other would control the "left" side of the keyboard, using the numkeys to select weapons and Ctrl to fire. I used to do this with a friend too. It was a lot of when you're a small child

for my money the optimum coop setup as a kid was jetfighter Ii and having one person use the joystick and the other pretend to be the gunner this also sort of worked for Wolf

Assepoester posted:There was a graveyard maze where the layout was changed/randomized by the L4D Director. I don't recall any other examples of it actually changing the level route/layout. Been a while, but I think for the panic event in the mall where the alarm goes off it could pick a store/backrooms access point on closer or farther up floors of the mall depending on how well you were doing. But yeah it was fairly limited in scope either way. Also obviously w/r/t to randomized objectives and twists you have Payday and Payday 2 where higher difficulties made it more likely to encounter complications. There were also very minor map randomizations like different locations for security rooms or certain key doors, but still very little in terms of true map alterations.

Anyway a little further I can deal with since you just got the laser sights from the gun store. God that might be my favorite AK. Can't hit poo poo in CS but I can dome a zombie at 200 meters

I finished Cultic. I have some quibbles with movement* and gunplay** in this but on the whole, really impressive game. Love the art and overall graphical style, sound and music are fantastic (one of the best menu themes I think I’ve heard in an FPS), pacing and atmosphere are fantastic, it does horror and action equally well. I want to know what’s on the other side of that portal, and shoot it. For a one-man show it’s fantastic. Imo this is the game Blood should have been. *very slippery, sometimes in a way that feels great where you seamlessly sprint and slide around the battlefield vaulting over stuff, sometimes in a way where you fall down 100 times trying to make an extremely simple jump to a weapon part. **everything is weak and inaccurate for first few levels, gets better eventually due to upgrades/new weapons but in the meantime the cultists are all crack shots who can nail you from as far away as they can see you.

I find decreasing enemy accuracy by about 10% feels right. Jasozz's whole thing about that was "the enemies' weapons have exactly the same spread as yours, what are you complaining about" but he's not thinking about the fact that the aim is pixel accurate before weapon spread and the time it takes the projectiles to get to you, which isn't really what human players are going to have. I think he ended up doubling enemy weapon spread due to complaints from the demo. That said, distant enemies will have a lot more trouble hitting you if you're moving a little since almost every enemy attack is a projectile instead of hitscan.

I had this theory as a kid that the Thief series--based on nothing besides the progression from Thief to Thief 2: The Metal Age--would advance technologically until, by Thief 4, it would be set in a modern alternate universe.

I didn't realize but it sounds like USS Darkstar & They Hunger weren't just mods that PC Gamer decided to throw on one of their discs because of their quality--they were actually produced for PC Gamer?Black Widow Games Wikipedia Page posted:Notable releases included the Half Life spin-off, USS Darkstar (produced for PC Gamer), and the They Hunger series (produced for PC Gamer).
