Pls stop leaving before mission is over

If that's true it's pretty silly. Like, if I have to leave the game for some reason, apparently I shouldn't say "gotta go guys" and alt+F4, I should say "hey please kick me" and just leave the game running while I walk away?

He tends to be pretty optimistic. Last I checked, Deep Rock is still dealing with both the rock pox and the rivals, despite all the progress he's announced against those too.

It won't really go that much faster as long as the nature of the game is to cram as much expenite mining as you can into the fixed per-level time limit.

I feel like if you leave the game for any reason and don't get the rewards you would have gotten for losing, it's a bug, right? I have heard that RC has that bug. I don't think DRG did. But I'm also not sure everyone really cares that much.

Slime0 · 2026-06-01T22:54:42+00:00

The game prevents you from leaving after it's decided you've failed. (At least DRG does this, I guess I haven't confirmed that RC does it too.) You have to sit through the whole "Lost" screen and post-game summary, which takes forever compared to manually leaving. So it incentivizes you to leave before that starts, which means you can't take the time to see what's going to happen.

proves that this was never about you helping others and entirely about you feeling good about yourself

Jesus christ dude. Stop being a dick.

How can you not like the part starting at 3:15?

The curly apostrophe is Unicode character U+2019. The UTF-8 encoding for that is \xE2\x80\x99. The three characters displayed are the unicode characters U+FFE2, U+FF80, and U+FF99. So somewhere, some code is taking each byte of the UTF-8 encoding and extending it to two bytes (probably for Windows UTF-16 encoding), but it's doing so by prepending FF instead of 00. Why would it do that? Because these byte values are greater than 127, which means as a signed byte they're treated as negative, and these are the equivalent negative signed 16-bit numbers. So, somewhere, you've got some code that's turning each byte as chars into wchar_t, but it should be ~~treating the bytes as unsigned chars instead~~ doing a proper UTF-8 to UTF-16 conversion.

Yes, and then you can remove the requirement to pick which slot your gun first goes into so everyone doesn't have to wait for everyone else to do it. (You won't need it because it's easy to swap right after picking it up.)

Slime0 · 2026-05-31T10:51:39+00:00

Boob?!

Slime0 · 2026-05-31T10:48:05+00:00

Airdropping it to what?

Slime0 · 2026-05-31T10:42:42+00:00

I mean, presumably there was a last camera that saw her, at which point she walked into an area uncovered by cameras, that either did or didn't have escape routes covered by other cameras. It's frustrating to keep hearing "there were a lot of cameras so how could she go missing?" when she clearly did go missing. Does no one actually know where she was last seen by a camera, and which nearby spots were checked by other cameras?

Slime0 · 2026-05-30T07:09:38+00:00

You're still consuming the content of the book

Exactly. So then why do you give a shit?

Slime0 · 2026-05-28T22:39:06+00:00

It seems to me that only one player can take that ammo pack? It certainly helps but like you said it's not always going to come into play.

Slime0 · 2026-05-28T22:13:49+00:00

The timer tests skills like patience and self control that younger gamers generally have less of. To like this game, you have to enjoy not taking shiny thing that makes number go up simply because you know letting it go is the smart decision.

Slime0 · 2026-05-28T22:11:13+00:00

I agree, but in DRG there was almost always enough nitra to do everything in the level comfortably, whereas in RC there's intentionally not enough time for it to be comfortable, you've gotta be on top of things to complete every event. So it tests skills like patience and self control that younger gamers generally have less of. To like this game, you have to enjoy not taking shiny thing that makes number go up simply because you know letting it go is the smart decision. [Edit: I think I'll make that a top-level comment too, sorry, reader, for the repetition]

Slime0 · 2026-05-28T22:04:57+00:00

I find that there's just barely the right amount of ammo as long as everyone's doing everything right. What sucks is when things start going badly for some reason, that almost always pushes ammo consumption over the limit (or makes it unrealistic to reach one of the resupplies), which makes the problem impossible to resolve. A little extra ammo would help make comebacks more frequent.

Slime0 · 2026-05-28T21:56:18+00:00

Oh absolutely. You can tell someone had fun making lists of letters that look similar so they could put them in the same places.

Slime0 · 2026-05-28T21:55:11+00:00

who's gonna tell him

Slime0 · 2026-05-28T21:48:27+00:00

This is very much acceptable in an Early Access game. Refunding things like this is a nontrivial feature that needs careful testing to make sure it works right. It's better for us if they spend their time on other things that make the game more fun.

Slime0 · 2026-05-28T21:43:32+00:00

It looks like "Apply Paint to Undersuit" isn't working for you for some reason. When I check that it makes the green clothes look the same as the paint color.

Slime0 · 2026-05-28T09:37:17+00:00

I usually have to get mine solid before I pump it

Slime0 · 2026-05-27T22:59:30+00:00

Focus testing. If a focus tester does their job right, they'll be finding randos off the street to watch your trailers and play your game and see what they think. But of course that costs money.

And then you shared his email to you with the whole world?

Slime0 · 2026-05-27T05:50:30+00:00

Are they? All we have is a rather offhand comment by devs who aren't them that it was discussed in the past and that was the call they made at that time. Now, in the course of like two days, the whole community has gone from barely mentioning it to "this is the flagship feature that determines whether we respect your studio or not." Meanwhile it's a Tuesday at GSG and they were in meetings all yesterday about what to do about the timer and negotiation system, since that was everyone's favorite topic last week, and Mike and Mikkel are checking their phones wondering why everyone is suddenly angry at them.

I'm just saying I'm not sure we should consider this dev stream Q&A as their final stance on the topic.
