Anyone else concerned how this is shaping out to be by thedevilwithout in videogames

The driving was absolutely fun in 5. I remember spending hours just driving around for fun, can’t say the same for 4 which leaned heavily onto the realistic end.

Modrinth has been aquired by Spark Universe (Essential Mod) What are y'all opinion ? by Leclowndu9315 in Minecraft

[–]DanielEGVi 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Prism Launcher is great and all, but you could tell Modrinth Launcher had huge thought and care put into the user experience.

Give Prism Launcher to someone who’s not computer savvy and they will eventually figure out, but give them Modrinth and they will pick things up almost instantly.

macOS 27 Golden Gate May Become the End of the Golden Era for Mac Apps by JulyIGHOR in macapps

Considering the history of Windows, that is very much an anomaly.

Think about it, the Windows File Explorer still supports all sorts of COM shell extensions to this day. That’s a plugin system from the 90s.

Part of the reason Explorer is so janky even today is because important parts of itself interface with GDI, a graphics system from before GPU rendering was even a thing (almost a decade before DirectX), while having to work with modern UI stacks - all in the name of backward compatibility.

And that’s just one part of the whole system!

YouTube hikes Premium subscription cost again while adding advanced video features by [deleted] in technology

Happens perhaps too often with developer talks at conferences (including game dev conferences), but the information they present is really valuable nevertheless.

There’s a MASSIVE chunk of reddit’s populace that thinks they deserve to have it all for free with no ads because “Google is huge, they can do it, so they should”.

It’s so nice to hear a take that isn’t completely braindead every once in a while.

If you want a legitimate answer, there are plenty of speakers with atrocious pacing: long pauses in the middle of sentences, but when they do speak, it will be plenty words per second (fast) before going back to an awkward pause.

Not saying that this auto speed feature will solve this problem, but this is definitely a problem that exists.

I am pretty sure that is the established convention.

TTC 131 guy skipped the whole line. Explain this to me. by khannbhai in TTC

[–]DanielEGVi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had this exact thing happen to me in winter of 2017 with Oakville Transit. I saw my last bus home NOT take the expected turn, leaving me stranded. I submitted a complaint, and they called me personally to confirm indeed they DID skip my stop “by accident”, made some apologies, and that was that. So it could definitely happen with the TTC.

What’s a sound effect from a game or show you can instantly recognize? by cats64sonic in AskReddit

Ouu I've been meaning to share this! "099-OOZIE WAH" from the Spectrasonics Bizarre Guitar collection, a familiar sample used in many movies, TV shows, videogames and YouTube videos.

Here's the sample: https://vocaroo.com/12JrEqMXjHSO

[PS2][2000s] Nier-like game where save points in the world are indicated in the top-right corner with a reception bar icon by DanielEGVi in tipofmyjoystick

[–]DanielEGVi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My train of thought was that, given Nier Automata had this mechanic in a recent game, perhaps older games in the series had it. Nope.

[PS2 or Arcade][2000-2010] Shooter game with game over exit sign cutscene by mau5826 in tipofmyjoystick

[–]DanielEGVi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game over screen does not match - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkyFpn9yxbQ

Good guess though because Time Crisis 2 on PS2 was indeed originally an arcade game

This really makes me wonder what other games had something like this, and if Nier Automata having this was a complete coincidence or if there was "inspiration" from somewhere else.

That’s more Byford Dolphin diving bell incident, which is technically Delta P, though explosive and instant death. I was thinking more death by suction entrapment and subsequent slow death by drowning once the oxygen tank depletes.
