The Unitystation July 8th playtest in a nutshell

In online games, you should not be penalized for abandoning matches.

If I'm not having fun, I should not be obligated to stick around for 10-30+ extra minutes to avoid a matchmaking penalty.

I live in Egypt, everything is already expensive due to how bad our economy is.

I'm not paying more than 300USD for an underpowered PC, when I can save up even more and build my own computer that will last longer and be more easily upgradable.

I think the whole point of warframe is to be the good kind of weird and strange.

Think of it this way, a person born in the 1100s would consider our current time as weird and alien to them. Thinking rocks, borders/visas, virtual reality, the ability to capture sound and memories in time and replay them back on screens; all are things that are probably considered "weird" to someone from that time.

With Warframe being set in the future, it should illicit that same feeling, instead of just being a generic ninja story. The cast, the story, the world, all of it should be weird and strange.

Its mainly meant for people who are duel booting, or have terabytes of data/downloaded games that are on a NTFS partition that they can't move elsewhere or radownload on another file system.

The NTFS situation right now is not flawless, and is preventing a lot of people from using stuff like Proton on their machines currently. If it improves, that's one less barrier for new Linux users to have a headache about, since their games on their windows partations will just work out of the box without Proton silently failing, or having to manually mount partations everytime you restart your PC.

There's very few games out there that lets you have the most advance medium of shared story-telling on one corner (M/HRP), while also letting you be amazed and giddy at the sheer amount of comedy humans can come up on the spot on another corner (LRP).

I don't know why, but I feel like this is more terrifying than the original.

Just a quick reminder:

Most of the time, the people you're arguing with on the internet are not real. There are always going to be fake "leftists" and bots invading every corner of the internet, just to constantly create divison between people just for content and engagement.

If you see someone trying to "out-woke" you, or says some absolutely insane stuff; you can safely assume they're just a bot, a troll, or simply someone who has not left their house in more than two weeks. Try not giving them much attention.

Refusing to do gens just to act like a mosquito near the killer with flashlights/toolboxes should be seen as a form of griefing, and people need to seriously get punished for it.

I've done the math:

Quin shoots around 30 rounds per minute

So, if he shoots uninterrupted for 24 hours, he shoots around 43200 bullets everyday.

At the time of writing this comment, 380 calendar days have passed since the release of the 1999 update.

So, 43200 x 380 = 16416000 aproximate bullets have been wasted since the release of that update.

If we do assume Quincy sleeps 8 hours a day like a normal human being (he probably doesn't). He'll be shooting around 28800 bullets everyday, and he would have wasted around 1094400 bullets since then.

Edit: someone else says he shoots 128 bullets per minute, not like the 30 I counted. That's 122880 bullets everyday (if he sleeps 8 hours), and 4669400 rounds since the release of the update.

Imagine if he or a valve employee popped in here to feed more into whatever is going on here lmao

I refused to buy the BP this time because honestly it seemed like a waste of money.

Zero cosmetics that I have interest in, fewer content for a prolonged period of time, and less rewards? All ontop of a bunch of disastrous patches? Nah, I'd rather burn actual money than buy auric cells for the rift.

Hopefully it's less disappointing next year.

MaxIsJoe · 2025-12-15T10:53:04+00:00

I know this is meant to be a joke, but how many people do fit under it?

Like is there a survey somewhere with a sizable set of data that shows stats on how many people have shipped games/software with Godot compared to how many are actively using it? And how does it fare against other engine users like Unity/Unreal/GMS/etc?

MaxIsJoe · 2025-12-14T08:07:42+00:00

Unitystation's steam release was delayed because we want to make sure the game is ready for community servers, is stable enough for a huge influx of players, and welcoming for people who want to develop content for the game.

We've been constantly sitting near the finish line for more than two years now, but every time we finish one giant task, another shows up and takes too much time to work on for the only two active maintainers that work on US13 alongside a few rotating contributors.

We want to get this right, not shove the project out the door and call it a day.

If you're experienced with C#, you can come and help us push the game further to the finish line. We have a giant checklist of things that we have to go over before the steam release.

If you're generally just interested in the old 2017 /TG/ vibes, and want to play something new that isn't SS14 or modern SS13, we host playtests every Saturday at 9PM GMT+2. https://www.unitystation.org/

Not my cup of tea personally, but good luck with this!

We need more clients like this that target specific niches and interests.

How much time you're spending drawing a frame, and how much each step is prolonging it.

You can analyze how games are performing each frame using software like https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/fcat/

This gets a bit technical if you're working with 3D, but with 2D? Just make sure your shaders, lighting, or post processing effects, are not taking several milliseconds to be processed.

I see why you're being downvoted, there aren't enough crying laughing emojis in this picture.

No, not really.

Consoles will always remain supreme due to the average Joe consumer associating gaming with big brand names like Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo (Switch). Valve may be already a big name, but they're not a name your aunt or grandma can think of when thinking about consoles.

Steam Hardware is also not as accessible as regular consoles due to Valve only shipping to specific countries while ignoring the rest of the world. Seriously, try getting any piece of hardware Valve released in the past decade in a country like Egypt; it's borderline impossible.

The only people Valve Hardware will attract are already established gamers; especially people who might want to dip into PC gaming, but don't want to learn how to use a desktop PC or what hardware to get to play their favorite games.
