intensely_human,

Gaming is not the most refined form of play. The most refined form of play is unstructured, spontaneous, and uses imagination. Gaming is the opposite of that. It is essentially a grim struggle to perform at one’s best in a 100% defined environment and ruleset.

I’m a gamer. Mad respect for gaming. I use it to achieve flow and improve the precision and skill of my brain.

But I don’t really consider it “playing” in the sense that puppies and little kids play.

intensely_human,

That hatred comes from like 0.1% of gamers, if that.

intensely_human,

I see three comments, two of which mention wokeness and one of which mentions sending the dev team to re-education camp.

None of the comments is solely about wokeness. Wokeness is mentioned in conjunction with politics.

One of the comments wants to make sure the game stays “neutral”.

Note that zero of these comments are complaining about diversity. To those who criticize wholeness, it is a distinct thing from diversity.

Do you know what people are referring to when they use that word?

intensely_human,

Also everyone who participates in the narrative that “regressive are swamping the gaming industry”.

intensely_human,

Well yeah. The vast majority of people identify as male or female.

When the game goes to “body type A and body type B” they are erasing those people’s opportunity to feel represented in the game.

Diversity does not mean removing options for a person to feel represented.

This is an excellent example of where the concepts of “woke” and “diverse” not only differ but are in opposition to one another.

intensely_human,

The sounds are also worse. Halo 1 had bass, sounded badass.

Halo 1 sounded like using automatics and shotguns and off-road gas guzzlers to battle armor-clad plasma-wielding aliens.

Halo 2 sounded like whoopie cushions going off and alumunum cans being crushed. It was just less of a visceral feel. pttt pttt!

intensely_human,

But it was less tuned. Halo 1 was BB King, Halo 2 is Papa Roach

intensely_human,

Well it’s definitely both

intensely_human,

pathetic

intensely_human,

I fucking love playing as the odd man out. This makes me want to play fortnight and go run rampant in the cybertruck like john wick.

Now all I need is skill

intensely_human,

Speaking of this, I hate the fact that farcry just stuck with the farcry 3 format.

Farcry 2 had none of this “tag an enemy to make them always visible” bullshit. But then they did 3, and that was just their settled format from there on out.

intensely_human,

That’s the game. It’s the most emotionally compelling stealth game I’ve ever played. The tension is real.

They managed to make a game about piracy where the players actually care about the stakes.

intensely_human,

If only Bourne had said this to Marie

intensely_human,

The problem was designing just the right cardboard contraption to actually block our view of one another so we could have fog of war

intensely_human,

Holy fuck you just resolved the mystery for me!

intensely_human,

Align your spine as if you lived in DK mode

Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now (www.eurogamer.net) angielski

This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it....

intensely_human,

Generally speaking it’s impossible to define a standard for how much output is “enough” for a developer.

Management always wants to extract as much as possible.

intensely_human,

IP stands for “intellectual property” as far as I know, and copyright is one form of that

intensely_human,

I mean if the way you get there is by modifying the thing, then it’s a mod.

Modding is to speciation as counterfitting is to convergent evolution.

intensely_human,

It’s his piercing eyes

intensely_human,

No, art is not for thinking. Books are for thinking. Art is for experiencing.

intensely_human,

No, it’s not. The prerequisite to creating valuable art is ability, not some stance toward intellectualizing visceral media.

intensely_human,

One of my favorite lines ever

intensely_human,

Sure yeah, thinking afterward is great. Just like you can think about sex, music, food, etc.

Just don’t stand there thinking “What am I supposed to be thinking about with this one?”

If an artist’s message is so small it can be put into words, they should just tack a notecard to the wall.

I have a level that is a tribute to The Stanley Parable in my game, here is my progress. Any feedback? (lemmy.world) angielski

My game is called Do Not Press The Button (To Delete The Multiverse) and in it I have a multiverse called A Universe Where This Game Was Made By People With Actual talent and it’s a “What If” the Crow Crows Crows guy made my game. I think it’s turning out good. What do you think? Here is my Steam Page

intensely_human,

Put some floating shelves above the cabinets to break up that vertical space. You can put some knick knacks up there.

intensely_human,

Right, because a healthy business consists of a sort of zombie corpse leech, not a symbiosis.

The little diner down the street where everyone has a good time every day? That’s not a healthy business.

It is very important that we twist the definition of every word to ensure people understand how bad capitalism is. Language and the ability to think is secondary to the great Revolution Take 25!

intensely_human,

If I ever run a successful company, I am never taking it public, and I hope that I will never accept a sum of money that more than doubles our assets.

I’ve worked in the startup world and seen too many companies fail in all but name when they receive investment money. It really sucks the soul out of a company.

intensely_human,

Yup, that’s what qyron is presupposing with his argument. Read it again if you misunderstood.

intensely_human,

Yeah but the humility in their actions shows they did.

intensely_human,

Maybe you’ll be teaching them that changing course brings no relief from punishment

intensely_human,

That’s Pac Man 2024

intensely_human,

Honestly “Microsoft” would have been a perfect brand name for a line of VR gear, if they hadn’t jumped the gun and applied it to software back in the day.

intensely_human,

Yes but this comment is generic to the game industry overall, and has been made thousands of times with slightly different wording. I’d rather use this thread to celebrate the rare event of a company admitting a mistake and actually making customers whole.

intensely_human,

That’s not a con, that’s someone perfecting their art.

intensely_human,

On controller, I usually set my horizontal sensitivity higher than vertical. There’s only 180 degrees of up and down but 360 degrees of left and right to navigate in the world.

intensely_human,

As long as your character is oriented in a vertical way, there’s twice as much horizontal breadth to cover as vertical.

In other words, you can turn in a full circle but you can’t rotate up or down in a full circle.

intensely_human,

An airplane’s windows don’t allow looking up or down, if we’re taking cockpits without canopies.

intensely_human,

Nah man. Tipping has its place and it’s not to take the place of regular payment for goods. Developer makes a product, I’ll buy it like a product.

Expanding the scope of tipping is not good.

intensely_human,

Pretty fucking authoritarian for a company that uses the OPA’s split circle as its logo

intensely_human,

Or they’re gonna make video games that are suspiciously like piloting drones

intensely_human,

Emulation is probably a better strategy than hardware compatibility, since future machines will have the chops to emulate current machines.

intensely_human,

Aaaaand we’re back to trackballs

intensely_human,

“Any bugs we’re gonna have to fix after release?”

“Well, the New Game feature doesn’t work”

“But people can still look at the menu, right?”

“I mean yeah except for New Game the menu’s all there”

“Go ahead and ship it then”

intensely_human,

So they made you join the army?

intensely_human,

It’ll be five years old this may. It’s four, going in five.

intensely_human,

Why assume that’s what I was saying?

intensely_human,

Or I would express that I’m on the fence between thinking the thing lasted long enough to be worth it, and thinking it wasn’t.
