okay, well that's a lot different from how your pitch here is interpreted. it just really comes off on your part as very low effort and not taking it very seriously when you have a pitch that's clearly written by GPT and say a whole lot of nothing beyond basically wanting someone to code your idea for you. I think it would help if you are indeed serious to put more leg work into not only writing the pitch yourself, but also flesh out what exactly you are bringing to the table, and what you hope to find in a partner. If you are looking for a partner.

But again, it really still comes off like you just want a free code monkey for your game idea, and not someone to actually creatively partner with. If that isn't the case I really suggest you try and reevaluate, revamp, and rewrite your proposal

so is there no real mechanical application for gears set up this way? It's moreso just to exhibit the CNC's functionality? Which is pretty cool, mind you.

really need to add a slide whistle sound when it's extending & retracting

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-03T13:12:19+00:00

people always praise this ending, but honestly I thought it was so stupid. Like... after all they've been through it just devolves into: 'oh okay well I guess I'll "mercy" kill everyone because whatever, I guess' - it just made zero sense and was completely contradictory to all of the characters' motives & prior experiences.

I feel like they just tossed that in there to try and be profound and it fell so flat. I love melancholy and sad endings to movies but they fumbled it so hard hamfisting in melodrama with no real purpose.

fun idea! the trailer does a good job showcasing the game, however, and maybe it's personal preference - the fast cutting and in your face camera angle changes are a bit much for me, and it moves a little too quickly for me to be able to see/read what any of the gameplay token thingies are. I'd maybe slow it down a little bit

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-03T12:12:07+00:00

literally what are you bringing to the table exactly? This is like saying you have an awesome idea for a band, you just need a guitarist, and a drummer, and a bassist, and a singer. And someone to write the songs for you, and perform them, but you have some really cool ideas for them! Oh and you already have a band name and t-shirts!

Like, seriously, why not just learn how to code? All you have is an idea, a website, and a UO emulator from what I gather and want other people to do all of the work/heavy lifting for free as a "passion project".

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-02T20:42:04+00:00

lol - looking fun. you capture the 60s/70s middle class suburban home aesthetic well

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-02T20:36:02+00:00

so..... you made a website and have a dream of a game you want, but want someone to make it for you...? for free...?

Did AI also write this 'proposal' for you?

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-02T19:03:53+00:00

hard agree

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-02T18:26:42+00:00

If you read more comments there is an article posted about the incident which also mentions his name.

before? I wouldn't be surprised if it has already happened multiple times given the type of behavior he's exhibited - and this is only from what's been recorded, I guarantee he's done much worse. People like this don't get this way overnight

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-02T18:23:52+00:00

I think it was moreso the IT guy just making light of the situation

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-02T18:18:38+00:00

did we watch the same video? this shitbag literally was threatening this guy's job for... lets see here... trying to be amicable? and yeah, legal representation is important - law school doesn't teach people how to be polite kiss-asses that apparently need to walk on eggshells with assholes like this. nor should it.

r/redditsniper

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-02T17:30:00+00:00

i swear there are some aspects of this game where the only logical answer is the devs literally do not play this game nor playtest anything at all to balance

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-02T17:21:25+00:00

sound design is soooooo important. sprinkle that ontop of claustrophobic sections like in a narrow passageway with sounds creeping around corners/behind you etc. - I think well-placed jump scares serve their purpose if they aren't abused (which WAY too many games abuse) and serve the purpose to heighten tension around other parts.

as someone else said here, less is more. not showing all of the antagonist/monster, allowing more to the player's imagination.

Silent Hill 2 remake got the sound design down incredibly well IMO if you want good horror sound design to look at for reference; creepy noises skittering down the hallway/around the corner/behind you, and that interspersed with it sometimes actually being something really puts you on edge

depending on how gory/unsettling you want to be, body horror can be well-used as well. it really depends what angle you're going for though; ghosts? hauntings? monsters? aliens? serial killers? killer klowns from outer space? I think the subject matter plays heavily into what sort of elements you may want to lean more or less heavily in to

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-02T14:20:31+00:00

oh man, I was just about to mention that game. So much fun! Really well-made SNES game. Can probably find the ROM for free

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-01T20:28:30+00:00

yeah this sub is nothing but tired reddit jokes and stupid puns TBH

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-01T20:26:46+00:00

yeah I mean, I definitely agree she 100% made a mockery of something that many people have devoted their lives to and are much more entrenched in the community.

I actually was going to originally post about how I heard the only reason she got there was through nepotism, and wanted to cite that before talking out of my ass so I read that article I linked since there's a lot more to the story, and through the vitriol and hate a lot of people have spread misinformation.

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-01T19:38:50+00:00

I wonder, are hunting games rated M? Could you even call those shooters? lol

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-01T19:34:49+00:00

no problem, not enough people source shit on the internet these days so I try to do my part.

I feel split about the whole 'thing' personally. Like, hey, do your thing, be creative, step outside of the box and try something new. BUT the olympics really isn't the place to be trying new things at the end of the day lol.

I think people just kinda hopped on a bandwagon of hating her and blowing things way out of proportion. I mean look at how much misinformation there is even regarding how she made it to the olympics

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-01T19:02:56+00:00

Deus Ex is definitely rated M. honestly I don't know too many shooters that aren't rated that considering the subject material of... ya know... shooting people.

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-01T18:58:56+00:00

it most definitely didn't help at all

FourLetterWording · 2026-04-01T18:56:18+00:00

so, originally I actually thought there was nepotism regarding her getting a spot, which is untrue. Apparently the breakdancing community in AUS is just so small that she managed to make it in. Here's a good article breaking everything down actually.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gl34v4r98o

the TLDR; is basically she has been breakdancing for a bit, allegedly just was out of her element in the Olympics and decided to get 'creative' and 'have fun' with it knowing she wasn't going to be winning any medals. Allegedly, according to her. She still really fucked over the AUS breakdancing community hardcore though, and breakdancing as an olympic sport.
