Also, Beyond Sunset got a big update today!

Interesting. What I saw from Mr. Icarus playing it a while back was that there was a lot of combat and some real weapon imbalance. This sounds nice, and I'm glad the devs took complaints to heart. I'll have to take a look at it at some point in the future.

This screen is what is responsible for me thinking it was "ID" software as a kid

I don't think I ever heard the intended pronunciation until around the time of Doom 3.

I like how detailed these patch notes are and their acknowledgement of fan mods.
I guess they figure that the people still playing halo are hardcore and don�t want things to be dumbed down.
Interesting how the hitscan vs �standard projectile� logic has changed across different parts of the Halo series.

Not sure if it was mentioned earlier, but Cruelty Squad updated a few times this month to add achievements:

01/02/2024 posted:

Hey everyone, I added achievements for completing each of the levels. I know I said I wouldn't but I honestly just couldn't be bothered figuring out how they work. More will come later but I don't have the time right now.

03/02/2024 posted:

I added some more achievements for everyone complaining about lack of challenge. Enjoy.

These aren't marked off if you load a save where you previously did the thing so you need to replay each of the levels. Also all but two of the achievements are hidden (although there is a list of them here). Have fun!

Is Dundee difficulty the one where all the enemies are turned into small blue guys with green hair who just slowly walk towards you?
