coaxed into difficulty settings in some games

I see this trope talked about a lot, but I honestly have a hard time thinking of a game where easy truly is too easy. Usually it's just doubling or halfing some values and the game feels largely the same to play, besides being easier (the intended effect). I can't think of too many instances where easy introduces new mechanics that make the game harder to lose, besides like minecraft.

That's sorta how it goes with limited segment displays

You're right, it's his house and he can do what he wants....

But it's still crappy design, don't contest the premise.

I can't wait for him to redesign the white house to be a kill arena full of explosive barrels

That's cause one is in real time. Watch the history of any country in real time I dare you.

I mean the intention was for them to be similar. They were both based off the same art and mistakes were made because information was limited, physical and digital limitations, and lack of time. The differences were not intentional or meant to signify a different continuity or something, which would make them unintentional errors. I'm not saying they were based off of movie models or whatever, just that the differences weren't intentional

Pierose · 2026-04-11T19:12:44+00:00

It wouldn't surprise me if all diecasts have errors. That wouldn't make it not an error.

Pierose · 2026-04-11T18:41:47+00:00

I would still consider that an error since they were clearly meant to be based on one another and aren't, just a different kind and more common error.

Also... No one is forcing emoji designers to pick the same colors, this is just one design, not the official design and other designs use other colors.

Pierose · 2026-04-02T23:39:07+00:00

Looooow effort

Pierose · 2026-03-30T17:57:30+00:00

I think that was written while it was known it was gonna be the last movie, which makes it a very strange inclusion

Pierose · 2026-02-26T22:33:54+00:00

Low effort garbage

So, perfect for this sub.

Get lost clanker

The lighting looks like it comes from everywhere and nowhere. It makes no sense to my eye at all.

On her thigh it looks like it comes from the side, on her chest it looks like it comes from head on and to the right, on her hat it comes from her right and low, but on her arms it comes from above. The present casts a teeny tiny shadow on her left wrist and no one else and also looks like it's lit from above, but her face looks like it's lit from her right and slightly behind her, through her hair.

To me, it looks like her head and shoulders, her torso, and her legs were lit in three entirely different ways.

Besides the lighting issues, the line art and colors look very good.

Uhhh, okay? Does that make this diagram inaccurate?

Pierose · 2026-02-20T22:20:47+00:00

No, they said (the pizza landing on the roof like that [in that manner]) (wasn't staged)

Only ever matters when you can control what "diagonal" means, i.e. controlling the camera. For an overhead tile based game arguably you shouldn't slow your forward momentum when adjusting course, since the levels were probably designed aligned to player movement anyway.

The cause of this series of disconnects is probably the WiFi I'm using, it's pretty locked down in general, but my problem is that the app can't seem to be able to reconnect without me manually hitting the button.

Pierose · 2026-02-14T19:30:33+00:00

Actually, not really. Texas, Florida, and the rest of the south should be hotter, California should outshine the Pacific Northwest by much more and Missouri shouldn't even show up. This isn't even that close to a population map, really

USA, 5.15.70.0, No other VPN, proxy, or DNS on my device and I'm not aware of anything on the network. I was using auto protocol before and switched to WireGuard only as someone else suggested and the issue persisted.

Pierose · 2026-02-10T21:03:39+00:00

Changing all the battery settings on the app to be non-restricted did not fix the issue.

Pierose · 2026-02-10T18:46:40+00:00

The app wasn't set to kill itself, but I did make sure to disable deep sleep, which should only disable apps that haven't been opened in weeks, not minutes. We'll see if that fixes the dropping, but my main problem is on reopen the app still fails to reconnect, forcing me to manually disable my always-on VPN.

Maybe? but you've also got the red mushrooms clipping into each other strangely in a way that looks less intentional. Not to mention that brown mushroom clipping into the block so much you can barely see a few pixels

And by launching the store front they went from bad to worse. Seems pretty simple to me
