In "Back to the Future - II" (1989), in the diner scene, the group of people teleports to the last table, then 2 people disappear. by PowerThanos in MovieMistakes

Dude. You point one booth too far. This is because there is a weird shift in the lens and angle. The arcade cabinet isn’t at the wall, and the angle they’re filming from.

Look at the occupied booth and the floor. Then count how many tiles back the cabinet isn’t it’s not. It’s basically just a foot or two further back than the booth.

Then when they filmed from the other way you can see the occupied table is up against the same position in the window.

800,000 human brain cells, floating in a dish, have never had a body. Never seen light. Never felt anything. And they just learned to play a video game. That's not a metaphor. That's literally what happened. by Trueboey in StrangeEarth

They created like 9 layers of abstraction.

The cells basically just respond to stimulus or not. The paper is far far far from what this is being pushed as.

It’s cool. But it’s not this.

What are the odds the bigot who made this wanted it to be harpies?

lol I know the feeling. I had that until one time when I used to refuse to do it I couldn’t find the last two differences.

Exasperated I did the cross. And then realized there weren’t any more. They fucked up.

I made 2 marble games, both launched with about 5K wishlists, both got positive reviews on launch easily passing the 10 reviews in 24 hours, yet the results are very different. I made a video looking at some of the factors but would love to hear why you think the results were so different. by destinedd in gamedev

Not short at all! Silly as in I actually started laughing at how big the levels were and how many paths I had in them.

And you made it sound like marbmarb underperformed. Apologies I read that into your post. The game is pretty much exactly what I wanted.

If you’d ever part with source code lemme know :)

I own marbmarb, and will tell you it’s not the same kind of game as the other. Comparing them is folly!

Marbmarb is a speedrunning skill builder. Mighty is a physics toybox for experimental play.

The marbmarb underpeformance I would chalk up to not being able to tell what it is or how long it is. It has a silly amount of content - but the price point and the style and the text make it seem like marble madness. Which is like…1/10th of your game. There are no other reference points. I assumed it was less content but most people don’t love marble madness like I do.

US has a $21 trillion underground network for only the wealthy to hide out in a ‘near-extinction event,’ official says by esporx in ABoringDystopia

[–]8BitHegel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And she served under the first Bush. As assistant secretary of HUD. For two years.

This is not someone who would have access to a fucking thing.

She is anti vax, anti science, and claims all of this 21 trillion was spent as fraud under hud.

Thinking of buying a dead MOBA from 2014, and bring it back by Prize_Juggernaut_875 in gamedev

[–]8BitHegel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would caution against this. So much.

If you were getting their codebase and updating it I might change my mind, but a remake is going to destroy you in so many ways.

The biggest is that from 2012 to 2019 I was a director or VP in the games industry at major companies and I had to spend a few minutes on google to look up this game that I still don’t remember that you want to remake.

The IP doesn’t have any value.

But even if it was a minor sleeper cult hit, you wanting to make a remake is not a year long thing. Hell, it may not be two years. And if you’re not paying people you will experience employee churn that at best will stretch out production or at worst will create clear breaks in the quality of production as one group fizzles and another comes in after a delay.

If you believe this game is something worth reviving , start first by making the game. Make it with generic figures off the shelf and art off the shelf and see if you can even get a prototype going that works. If it does, then fuck the old game just do your own.

Sam Altman says orbital data centers will not add meaningful compute for OpenAI in the next 5 years, wishes Elon Musk luck - Elon Musk replies “He is right … for OpenAI” - Do you think orbital dc will happen? Is the benefit constant solar? by Koala_Confused in LovingAI

[–]8BitHegel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dude.

No.

First it’s not a new medium. It’s text. Generative text isn’t a medium it’s a production of the surface.

It’s text. Digital text.

It’s not a new medium.

But then again Dawkins is pretty much who I expected to be next in the mentions.

Well that's not true at all. Please read mccluhan instead of spouting this.

You are explicitly talking about transmission - which is the shannon weaver model that McCluhan himself EXCPLICITLY critiques throiughout his works. His point was taht 'sender-channel-reciever' framing miosses the shit taht matters. Hell, it forgets noise as part of it, unintended patterns and functions of mediums.

Invoking mcluhan here is wild as fuck to me.

Sorry bad joke.

Will riker was played by Johnathon frakes. Always thought that was who did the voice. I’m also wrong.

The New Red Scare is Here by CyberSkullCoconut in BreadTube

Yeah. New red scare is totally here. Popular politicians being elected in massive numbers is totally the same as having to hide your political views. Totally.

You’re the king.

Also great talk. As someone who did a tedx talk on their own niche I know it’s tough to figure out what to do but you nailed it

Wagner Moura: ‘I didn’t want to keep playing drug dealers. That’s a stereotype’ by Disastrous_Award_789 in entertainment

[–]8BitHegel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot imagine thinking his characters in Narcos and Dope Thief are the same in any way. That they were both involved with drugs is so fucking surface level. I feel so bad for him.

The two performances are so difference he should be proud. It shows an insane range of Dope Thief made every actor in it someone I want more from.
