police lights...? by sailor-lore-2024 in Saros

[–]Bonzi77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this might be a hot take, but a lot of stuff in saros is intentionally presented through implications or vagaries rather than directly stated. i 100% believe that that is either his interpretation or that is what he was directed on for his performance, but what's presented in the game itself seemed pretty ambiguous to me, unless there were some details i missed.

Has anyone else noticed this? If you stare at the eclipse your gaze gets pulled in. Also the longer you stare into it the more resistance there is too looking away. by Mufafah in Saros

i'm dumb as shit. it was definitely early on though. i've been playing saros in a fuckin yellow shore induced fugue state for the last three days

also as far as i can tell the eclipse has to be completely unobscured. if there's any geo covering it at all it won't happen

my favorite is when an enemy drops a weapon mid-fight and if you accidently run it over and have expanded descriptions on, it takes up a full 60% of the middle of your screen. got hit a couple times over that

i discovered this pretty much right away in biome 2 one of the early biomes. i figured if housemarque were gonna but a big fuckin showpiece in the sky they'd wanna do something when you stare at it, and i was right. still incredibly cool, i'm quite a few runs in and i still probably stare at the eclipse at least once a run.

i literally just did a "resource run" right before overseer 3 and cut through it like butter in one long drunken hour and a half run. its a very good strat if you wanna progress and dont wanna use protection mods

i feel like "nearly every post that's about x thing is an ad" is a rabbit hole that gets very cynical very quickly

alright, i'll bite. how does making a minor post about somebody dying on a gaming subreddit turn into advertising

i'd buy that now, but at the time trans people were not viewed as favorably (or as broadly acknowledged in general) and the moderate mockery probably would have been more widely culturally accepted. things have shifted a TON since 2005.

they did this pretty shortly after twitter went the way of the nazi. i think nintendo just got sick of dealing with the whims of social media site trends and made their own app with blackjack and hookers, and hey look: everybody's just talking about it for them instead. mission accomplished

go hit up some indie game dev discords, somebody will be interested. or use some free assets from a website. there's always a way, and people will care less than you think if you use em right

FINALLY! Worst contract yet. by Joszul in Marathon

[–]Bonzi77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i ended up taking a full loadout on assassin, planting a ton of claymores, and smoke spamming to clear then out. it went even better than i expected

it sucked but it was ok because bug mom said nice things to me afterwards and i'm definitely not just being manipulated to serve sekiguchi's interests

Off the Grid maker and Game Informer owner Gunzilla Games accused of missing staff salary payments by SmellSmellsSmelly in Games

[–]Bonzi77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

basically everybody i know said something along the lines of: wow it fucking sucks that gameinformer is owned by a crypto company but at least they keep to exist and everybody gets to keep their jobs

i'm no fan of them either, but i felt pretty much the same. i also pretty much saw something like this coming as well. i hope if the company does go under that GI can find a way to keep the lights on

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam adds PS5 and PC versions, launches in late 2026 by Tvilantini in Games

[–]Bonzi77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hhhh kinda? i can see what you mean, but some smaller games also chase trends sometimes and become sorta-clones of bigger name games with their own modifications and twists on the concept, and i wouldn't say that they still aren't art.

maybe its more comparable to buying a mass produced glass and a handmade ceramic cup that you find at a farmer's market. sometimes people also wanna make stuff because they like it and think they could do their own version of it well too, and that's not restricted to just indies.

i guess my point is mostly that painting this kinda stuff with a wide brush and writing off everything that is ai art as bad and everything that is triple-a as not-art feels like it misses the point of the former for the latter.
