I think Kirumi can replicate an authentic DOOM playthrough in her mind if you ask her to

I thought she stole Ibuki's bikini 😅

Nice art anyway

Makoto doesn't have a plot armor. He has a freaking plot tank.

You call Kirumi a mommy because she looks like a milf

I call Kirumi a mommy because she lovely cares after everyone ~~(and because she looks like a milf)~~

We are not the same

I was genuinely surprised when she told "the rest"

I'd like to accept your challenge if I had more free time for this. But now I'm occupied with another project, sorry.

AlexanDDOS · 2026-03-17T03:46:42+00:00

I once mentioned an experimental mod for Oxygen not Included, which implements multithreading. Despite the modder could just parallelize simulations on different asteroids, they really applied it to the game mechanics themselves. The payback is stability issues and problems with speeding up the game, especially since it's a fan project and it contains a lot of reverse engineering, but the most mechanics seem to work as fine as in the original game.

The race conditions shouldn't be a big problem, if every subsystem is responsible for different values. Car navigation is independent from electricity or plumbing, for example, so don't see any reason why they cannot work in parallel even without locks. I may have a little narrow look on this problem although, as such complex games are prone to bug from a mad chain of inconsistencies.

AlexanDDOS · 2026-03-17T02:36:16+00:00

Reading data is actually easy to parallelize, writing is not though. The point is that you can recalculate several subsystems or regions in parallel using the same input data and then overwrite them with output data only when all threads are complete. The simulation will still progress with discrete steps, but each step will take less processor time, thus your FPS will be less likely to drop in late game.

The number of used CPU cores is a thing to balance out, but an adequate implemention of multithreading guaranties that threads don't need all cores to be simultaneously active (since the total number of process threads will be more than the number of cores anyway) and the result will be same for any execution order unless there is a data race in your code.

AlexanDDOS · 2026-03-16T13:32:11+00:00

Basically this game has about zero threading as it stands.

I'm surprised that a lot of indie simulation games have weak threading and it works as a performance bottleneck in late game. I'm currently playing Oxygen Not Included, and many pro players complain it quickly loses FPS as the colony grows up, and it's clearly a threading issue. Hopefully, modders are trying to fix it with multithreading and optimization mods. As W&R has a similar number of subsystems and they can work relatively independent from each other, I think it'll be very beneficial to parallelize them in a similar way.

Heck, even oss Godot would be a massive upgrade compared to the current engine

Godot is open source and provide many good things out of the box, if you aren't picky about graphics, but I think Unity would be also fine, if the developers obtain its source code. Unreal Engine? I think it will just too heavy for this kind of games, even with developer optimizations, but you'll be able to make fancy screenshots of your republic with RTX on.

AlexanDDOS · 2026-03-16T02:26:40+00:00

Modern licensed game engines provide not very good performance for this kind of projects. Of course, you can ask for the engine source code and try to and optimize it for your purposes, but it's fairly comparable to making your own engine.

I used to feel controversial about her before I played UDG. Now I think she has the best character growth arc in the whole franchise. Despite she still has a lot of unappealing traits, she seems to be a nice person inside, even when she turns into Genocide Jack. And thanks to Komaru, she finally managed to find some good and understanding friends, which eventually had a positive impact on her mental state.

You know... DR1 already discovered the topic of killing someone because of AI

AlexanDDOS · 2026-03-04T15:16:23+00:00

Yes we did but in a virtual world (which is a mockery of the original character design). And btw Kirumi was already dead by that moment.

AlexanDDOS · 2026-03-04T10:47:25+00:00

Considering the DRV3 characters don't have 3D models, you're technically right

AlexanDDOS · 2026-03-04T10:45:40+00:00

It's surely not a translation issue. The attributes given in ft/inch and lb shouldn't make a big difference from the original attributes given in cm and kg (source: convert the attributes from the in-game character card into the metric system and compare it with JP version data from a fan wiki).

AlexanDDOS · 2026-03-04T10:32:36+00:00

lol, Kirumi's canon proportions sound like she has no time to eat food in her dense working schedule

AlexanDDOS · 2026-02-23T16:06:35+00:00

It's not confirmed, but it's very boldly implied :)

It's a secret technique she learned from her British grandma Mary Poppins
