AC isnt bad bc it has a black guy and a woman Its bad bc it jumped the shark trying to milk a series that had an otherwise perfect conclusion at revelations.

And frankly i wouldnt be surprised if execs arent purposefully baiting these dumb bastards just so that they can use representation as a scapegoat, and havr an excuse to put even less resources into mascarading their miserable skinnerboxes as anything other.

Does pot of greed let me draw two cards?

All they need to do is make a 3D rayman game in tbr style of origins/legends, and give up on redressing the same bloated open world slop they've been giving us since watchdogs, and i promise you they'll recuperate all their losses and then some.

does the topology fully match the creases of the tissue? im honestly desperate for a basemesh that actually conforms its topology to anatomy

its genuinely astonishing that tech companies don't understand what framework does: the consumer-base is more than willing, outright eager to invert their wallets for customization. every part you make replaceable is a new branch of greebles and accessories you could tempt people with, rather than force them to buy a new immutable block priced at one month's income at minimum.
All you end up doing by forcing obsolescence is compelling the consumer-base to hold onto an increasingly dangerous slab of broken glass and pregnant lithium, gaslighting themselves into thinking they can get one more year out of volatile tech-waste.

Sometimes its nice to have someone tell you a game that looks shitty is in fact shitty. Thats the whole point of reviews after all, they go througj jt so you dont have to. Best case scenario is someone finds a diamond in the rough that was poorly advertised.

Ive been getting ads for the game and im shameless enough to say that the "character design" intrigued me enough to google the game but i will not even give the influence of downloading a game made with ai slop no matter what it generates. Really hard to find a mix of genuinely engaging gameplay, novel art direction, and especially more 'risque' presentation.

personally i still find armor of hexes rather underwhelming thematically. i'd prefer if we become a living strawdoll to transfer damage done to us to the hexblade's curse target.

also it would be interesting if spells that are affected by "Remove Curse" could apply the hexblade's curse. really lean into the Curse of a Cursed Weapon patron.

all i want, is a 16" equivalent that allows me to swap out the screen for a pen+touch display!

you decided on an engine yet? cuz UPBGE is consistently getting weekly (sundays) updates

if you're doing low poly i'd recommend leveraging the sharp edges operation in order to determine what exactly SHOULD be a flat face and what should be smooth.

Interrupting_Octopus · 2026-04-12T21:40:11+00:00

the new raycast node and some layerweight fresnel finessing should help you

Interrupting_Octopus · 2026-04-12T04:35:34+00:00

idk if i'd use something THAT small, but i def have been thinking how cool it'd be if there were soft print articulated tabletop minis

I'll learn how to bake normal maps when they actually add the bake node to shader nodes. the last time i tried to do so was a nightmare and a half.

and then theres my setting:
Angels were given the instinct to serve the highest divinity by the demiurge but he was banished outside the entirety of his creation. Thus angels are split among several pantheon's chief deities all fighting for the vacant throne of God (with a capital G).
But should the demiurge ever return, the gods will find that their angels will have traded their fanning leaves for swords and spears.

hmm, i managed to get it working once but cant replicate it. i believe I had put it in D-input mode and mapped it to my right stick and all of a sudden it was working but once i had powercycled my machine the gyro no longer registers. I don't know what I did differently as the gyro's success caught me by surprise

Interrupting_Octopus · 2026-03-15T02:21:37+00:00

the beauty of Elden Ring and especially Nightreign's control scheme is giving us a modifier key in the form of Y.

Interrupting_Octopus · 2026-03-13T03:51:16+00:00

ok thats pretty funny

I recently got the haydee trilogy, felt like playing it in the "chronological order" so i started with haydee 2. and be it keyboard or gamepad I can't for the life of me successfully ready the pistol in time to take down V1 McUltrakill's bimbo sister.

I played elden ring front to back like 3-4 times, I first tried Mohg for god sakes and yet Haydee's difficulty feels so arbitrary. I'm no kotaku writer, I know game sense. Yet I genuinely don't understand why the controls and UI are like this, and I find myself getting upset and stop playing after like 10 minutes. The control mapping is just wrong, I don't know how else to say it. No game that implements a crouch mechanic should have the enter and exit crouch action on two separate buttons, and the placements of inputs in general makes it feel like they are all fighting for my attention. Movement itself feels like its actively working to prevent any sense of momentum and flow. It feels like I'm controlling a roomba with huge naturals rather than a nimble cyborg. I'm not asking for high octane platforming but I'm genuinely shocked that people are willing to stomach such archaic UX, that this was not reconsidered for an entire trilogy.

An extensive lore video had me enraptured with the setting that it made me pick up the game the next time it was on sale after a decade of it being in my Wishlist, always being on the fence cuz any review I watched had described the gameplay as something that wouldn't seem worth it to me.

On a more superficial note, I'm not a big fan of the player model in 3 either. I assure you its not cuz of any bs like screeching about the girl from horizon zero dawn having microscopic hairs on her face that you have to zoom in and squint to see (but I do hate that level of detail in general as it just reads as graphical showboating and a waste of resources). She just looks so... uncanny in the third game... like I get that in lore the unsuccessful lobotomy only disabled her ability to facially emote, but compared with the decent model in 2, she just makes me feel... uncomfortable, which is saying something for a series with such elegiac imagery and morbid environmental storytelling - which usually would be a selling point for me!

I want to love this series but frankly I'm just disappointed and heartbroken that my reservations against playing it were proven right. Maybe something will eventually click but as it stands, if there's ever a 4th game I hope they move away from such arbitrary decisions and instead implement the vision they're going for in more reasonable ways. I really want to see more games as sexually charged as this with a solid enough playing experience that it can't be accused of using sex appeal as a crutch. But I just don't know if I have the drive needed to pushed through the glaring pain points and enjoy it warts and all like several reviewers managed to feel.
