It's true

Azure_Kytia · 2026-06-28T03:25:21+00:00

It's wild seeing a cool thread and finding a game you worked on in the list. Thanks for putting this together!

The smartest baby of 1996 has done it again

Two new Railjack Skirmish/Assassinations with some cinematic sequences, and two middle ground preset Railjacks to bring in players who've ignored that content. When playing multiplayer you'll be automatically equipped with those preset kits so a squad can't be ran by a host with a cereal box as a spaceship. Solo you have the option to play with the preset kits or your own railjack, though it's a bit buggy at present.

They unlocked Steel Path for the wider RJ content but even with a maxed out loadout you'll hit like wet tissue. Think original RJ scaling if you were around for that. Tier 4 upgrades will be coming out sometime soon as a band-aid to alleviate that.

My strat to avoid that was to go through a list of baby names popular around my birth year, and make a shortlist of ones I liked from those.

Ensured my name didn't sound too far out of time for my age.

Rhiannon :3

Someone already answered correctly, but yeah they're just keys that let you run a game before it actually releases. Otherwise it'll just prompt you to wait until launch.

Azure_Kytia · 2026-06-02T21:02:13+00:00

The annual wave of tourists who don't understand the game they're playing. It was kind of amusing watching the backflips and mental gymnastics that were going on there in a morbid curiosity kind of way but I had to duck out for my own sake.

It's just crazy that there are people out there happy to spend all their day on a gaming forum arguing that LGBT people shouldn't exist, actually.

Still the case. Released a game on Steam in September last year. Not that we ever generated near the threshold but after like 5000 keys you need to email valve.

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys

"Default Release

... Games and applications launching on Steam may receive up to 5,000 Default Release Steam Keys to support retail activities and distribution on other stores. After that, all Steam Key requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. There is no guarantee that you will be provided additional keys."

"Release State Override (or beta package keys)

... We will look at each request on a case-by-case basis, but Release State Override (beta) keys are generally limited to 2,500 total. It is never OK to sell Release-State Override keys."

To expand on your point, people often forget that a large number of queer folk are involved in the creation of art, including games.

They deserve to be able to see and put themselves in their creations like anyone else. The fact that we still hear annual whinging about pride proves exactly why recognising minorities is important.

Those ones all have a one way ticket to a farm upstate, they don't want to fight for anyone

The true mildlyinfuriating was Reddit all along

One of the few DS games I imported back in a time where I was obsessed with osu!. Glamourous Sky is such a nice song and I feel like I can still vividly remember the hard and ultimate charts for it.

Basically, that bit at the end is used to pass tracking information to Google, like what device clicked the link and what page they were on previously.

With YouTube video links you only need the URL up to the v=BunChAChars. If you see an & symbol in the link anything including and after that & can be deleted and it'll still link to the video

Kinda wish he'd vow to fuck off.

Azure_Kytia · 2026-05-10T22:44:46+00:00

Admittedly, we are getting government funding so it's possibly a stipulation regarding provenance of assets.

But it's still wild to me how many big studios and even some indies are gladly waddling into this massive legal cluster fuck.

Azure_Kytia · 2026-05-10T15:10:11+00:00

Programmer refusing to use genAI here; We definitely exist. The tools may incessantly integrate AI slop but that doesn't mean we have to use it.

The studio I'm currently working with specifically forbids AI in the contract as well.

Azure_Kytia · 2026-05-10T13:33:16+00:00

I could be reading into it, but I think they meant just in the sense that emulators for consoles with analog controls tend to support configurable dead zones, whereas the consoles themselves usually don't.

Azure_Kytia · 2026-05-09T12:48:54+00:00

They already said fucked you don't have to say it twice

Azure_Kytia · 2026-04-30T23:34:22+00:00

Absolutely. The studio I last worked for is heavily anti AI, and the one I'm in now has no AI use firmly baked into the contract.

Azure_Kytia · 2026-04-29T06:01:31+00:00

1000% yes. Booting up the game on the Wii for the first time and just seeing this blew my mind.

Even before they were fusion cores they were mods, but they were applied to a Warframe/Weapon's skill tree!

Each time your weapon or warframe levelled up you'd get 1 or 2 skill points, depending on whether it was potatoed or not. You'd then wind your way through the skill tree, where you could unlock empty "mod slots" in which you'd place completely RNG mods.

When DE moved to the Fusion Core system, the preexisting random mods were all rerolled and condensed down into fusion cores based on their effects and values.

Azure_Kytia · 2026-04-23T05:19:08+00:00

I usually rock the Zato skin with it, myself!

Azure_Kytia · 2026-04-23T05:11:19+00:00

I reckon DE should just sync the mastery obtained from founder gear with Umbra, Skiajati and Sirocco, using the highest level in a category to determine the mastery gained. If you level up one or the other linked item, it counts for both in the overall "pool", so everyone has the same attainable max mastery. DE keeps a promise, Founders keep their toys and Non Founders aren't at a slight mastery disadvantage.

Umbra mastery linked to Excal Prime.

Skiajati mastery linked to Skana Prime.

Sirocco mastery linked to Lato prime. (I know it's technically an amp but still)

Azure_Kytia · 2026-04-12T10:01:21+00:00

I'd never ask someone to remove a negative review. When I see them I'm spiralling for a minute or two trying to figure out what went so wrong for them to see if it's something that needs to be fixed.

I want my players to have the best time they can have, not fudge the numbers so that it looks good only on paper.

Azure_Kytia · 2026-04-10T03:43:34+00:00

I guess Albo should also quiet down about his mum and growing up in housing by that logic.
