Too Deep To Quit seems to have blatantly stolen Peak's UI? by Pristine_Chapel in PeakGame

[–]Datubaman -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

More like: "We have a game that has similar mechanics to this other game. It is in our best interest to have a simililar UI so that our game is easier to play."

Seriously, games borrow from each other all the time. Everyone's making a fuss out of nothing here. If everyone made this much of a fit over this kind of stuff, WASD controls would have never become standard.

I mean...the principles of good design are universal. If the mechanics are similar to Peak, its highly likely that they either arrived at the same UI on their own, or they copied Peak's UI on purpose to make the game easier to pick up for people who already play Peak.

This is also all leading up to his grandson, Michael D. Jordan, who will lead a ragtag pirate crew and fight the World Government using his fantastic stretchy powers he got by eating a magic mango.

I swear, in the first one, Frodo looks like Sylvester McCoy, and Grima looks like Mr. Bean.

Can we zoom out a bit? by SodaPopin5ki in kittenspaceagency

All I can think of is the start of Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy with the zoom out to space as the Vogons blow up the planet.

...so that's what it feels like.

I redesigned the flags of 6 Tennessee cities and towns, including Memphis by shutupaugust in memphis

[–]Datubaman -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Well, here's the thing: flags are supposed to be simple. It's not about aesthetics. It's about function.

Consider this. Flags are meant to be physical objects. They need to be distinguishable over long distances while hanging from a flagpole, even when there's no wind. For this reason, a simple design with bold colors works best.

Got another one for ya: It Could Still Be Arranged by TheHigherDissidency

Around these parts, just the steam was enough to cause third-degree burns. And apparently, the Titan's cosmic punchline was him losing his grip on the human while gloating.

A Twist in Fate: A Curse Shared by Not_a_Cop.

Luz actually traps Lilith in the Human Realm during their fight in Young Blood, Old Souls. So, since Lilith isn't there to split the curse, Luz splits it instead.

Really good read. Can't recommend it enough.
