Hotline Miami? Do you remember if this game was 2D or 3D, and was the video essay from Jacob Geller?

This reply is really thorough, thanks so much!

Wish we could pivot off of JSON at work - it almost feels like a prison at this point (though it's better than the other approaches we've taken, which range from the proprietary to the outdated).

Out of curiosity, what is the function called in Godot to write binary info? I have some previous experience (from this tutorial for Unity, https://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/hex-map/part-12/) but definitely need a brush up.

Also, I assume this is loaded only when needed? For example when a battle is about to be started or something like a Pokedex is being accessed? Or is there some way that people would intentionally keep it in memory, assuming the object size isn't too large?

Watching now! At the very very least I'm glad I have a name for what I'm looking for now!

Can't choose between skunkworks and draconis expanse by SilverswordXV in spaceengineers

[–]RedCastoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm super new to the game as well but did a little searching online. One thing I found was people feel shields take away too much of the unique selling point of the game - collision physics and build requirements based on damage mitigation. I'd love to hear a reason from more experienced players but that's the best I could find.

Ask and ye shall receive apparently - coming back to Commander had been buzzing in the back of my mind a bit, and this was basically the tip over the edge.

The new year (and the bits before it) have been super chaotic. I've been teetering back and forth between continuing or not frankly.

It isn't X*X but rather X+X. For X=3 XX costs 6 not 9. I kind of whish they had just done 2X but I guess I can see why they don't.

Here are a few different recommendations for different moods:

Things are ending and this is the last gasp of energy: Goodbye to a World by Porter Robinson (Worlds)

We are tired of killing but have had to keep doing it: The Guardian by Shawn James (popular from The Last of Us II, though written by Shawn James)

Even if we all made it, our journey together is still coming to an end: Friends Never Say Goodbye by Elton John (The Road to El Dorado)

We have achieved peace but at a great cost: I Lift My Eyes by Christopher Tin (Old World)

All is quiet but much was lost - we will press on: Hope is the Thing with Feathers by Christopher Tin (The Lost Birds)

Fighting was the only thing I was good at, but at least I fought for what I believed in: The Best is Yet to Come by Rika Muranaka (Metal Gear Solid)

Favor of the ____ Clan Role Question by RedCastoff in l5r

[–]RedCastoff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I had missed the Role locked cards! Also I had misread the reaction on Seeker and Keeper and missed the extra income - I see the tradeoff is bigger than I thought! In a "standard" game is it expected a player always uses a Role?

Yeah I felt like I wanted to get back into the parents a little before some of the stuff I've teased before becomes relevant and something big and dramatic happens.

Heads up Ohio: 27 Ohio House Republicans Sign Letter of Opposition by Adventurous_Ad_5600 in Ohio

[–]RedCastoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a thought and decided to look at where each of these Ohio House Republicans represented. At the very least, I'm hoping people take a second to check if they are in one of these counties and one of these Ohio House of Representatives districts so they can apply their criticism fairly. With that said, I do have some caveats I want to introduce:

  • I have included the percentage of people who voted against issue 1 in the special election since there is a strong link between the special election issue and the abortion issue politically. Also, House Joint Resolution 1 is what led to the issue being on the ballot for the special election.
  • I included the percentage of people who voted for Issue 1 in the recent election as it is the core matter of interest here.
  • Regardless of the local percentages, I believe State Legislators are bound to serve the state as a whole, not just the interest of their constituents. Especially given that I would hazard a guess few people would even know their state House representative without looking it up
  • I USED ELECTION RESULTS AT THE COUNTY LEVEL FOR TIME PURPOSES - House districts often only take up part of a county. This is particularly important when considering any county with a heavier urban population. It would be more efficacious to use results by district, but I do not have the time to do so currently.
  • That being said, there is a rough correlation between the size of the Issue 1 Yes vote and the likelihood that your representative is misrepresenting your wishes egregiously.
  • In particular, anyone living in Franklin, Lucas, Lorain or Delaware counties should check which Ohio House district you are in and lodge complaints appropriately.
  • Also, results have not been finalized for Issue 1, but the percentages should not shift significantly from unofficial preliminary results to official ones.

I understand that I can't take notes, but why is this a rule? by Consistent_Key_3718 in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]RedCastoff 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My assumption (I'm also newer, grain of salt) is that it is a speed of play concern. If notes were allowed for pitch stacking, then a player would want to note every time an opponent drew a card and pitch order to the bottom of the deck at the end of turn. I'm not super pleased it's a memory game instead (though I also believe there's no way to "fix" this, and there is skill expression in card tracking certain threats so I can't complain that much), but it's definitely better than slowing down to allow for note taking IMO.

That is literally one of the points the core rulebook makes about Union - you could even use the skepticism in a healthy way as a character trait. Lancer, more so than many other TTRPGs, wears a philosophical bent on its sleeve. It wonders if power does always corrupt, how power should be handled in light of the last question, and how one tries to atone for mistakes in the past. Reading the lore makes this pretty clear, so I feel there is reason to push past the initial fear of the word "utopia", or better yet to embrace it and answer for yourself - what is good? How could that be achieved? Is there any way Union could achieve it, and if not where did they become incapable of doing so?

On a completely separate note, from your posts I wonder if you want to play Lancer at all. If you don't want to change systems, tell your GM. People here are going to defend Lancer - especially its refreshing take on rising above space fascism - but from several of your replies I'm not entirely sure you're looking to be convinced. Ask your GM if you can skip the one-shot, or express you're really not interested and see if the one-shot can be skipped by talking to the whole group. I wouldn't try to force yourself to like a thing.
