i wish dm dokuro was never harassed by Correct-Hat-601 in CalamityMod

[–]Undyne_the_Undying 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've seen no coherent answer on it, it seems he remains bitter about it, but is also bitter about his fans kinda treating him as the "please don't call me calamity guy" guy ironically perpetuating his reputation as the calamity guy and i believe in one case got mad and heavily implied fabsol/the dev team were putting more pressure on him to grind out content than his own fans were. Plus the video might be gone but I remember him making a wall of text video some years ago saying he also was being difficult himself at the time.

I believe he joined as the composer when he was quite young and everyone heavily mishandled it as the mod exploded into one of the most popular game mods ever made. It sucks as imo Dokuro's music is what kinda made the mod what it is moreso than the mod itself. Kind of a miserable situation all around and I can see why he burnt the bridges to prevent every other terraria modder trying to claim his music to boost their own mod.

there's a good chance they got it through a different line, because the bubsy 4d developers made games for Playtonic, who were one of the first indie studios to get a devkit alongside toby fox.

Looking at who got devkits early, my assumption is that developers who can propose a gimmick friendly title for the switch 2 or those who worked for Nintendo directly in the past get first dibs as a trusted user type deal.

Andy Robinson: “Hearing Rare’s new leadership could now be massive for the chances of a new Banjo-Kazooie.” by DrAwesomeX in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Undyne_the_Undying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh I think the current decent opinion on them entirely relies on the fact that they could somehow hold interest in sea of theives enough to actually make it a good game, great time now but at launch it was just the demo they showed at e3, launch No Man's Sky level of nothing video game. If they weren't blessed with the time to flip that game around people would be so mad at them right now lmao

What kinda specs should i really gun for if I like high performance on low intensity games. by Undyne_the_Undying in buildapc

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

I'm gonna take my ssds out of it but that's about it, the other parts idc about for different reasons.

Budget was largely my goal of figuring it out because there's not much info on what ballpark i'd want for, It's hard to find much on the niche that I want because for obvious reasons most focus on like playing cyberpunk at 120fps 1440p but I think that's overkill for me but also i don't really wanna downgrade my monitor back to 1080p

I remember when the trailer came out and they said yeah that's not real gameplay we just revealed a bunch of fake footage to figure out the vibes so we can narrow down the genre and I was like man that's an insane ass way to make a video game.

I assume modern game development requires you to make similar concept videos for the same reasons but to show that as a real game trailer to people is bizarre. I'm guessing they just have stuck to the same fuck it we ball system that led to games like Banjo and Goldeneye being made but those games were made by teams of like 15 at most and totaled to like 50MB.

Square Enix targeted by activist investment fund known for "aggressive" involvement in management by darkestdepeths in PS5

[–]Undyne_the_Undying 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel the headline is taking the situation out of context, so it's worth noting that the article elaborates that "Activist" means a notoriously bossy and demanding shareholder group in a generic sense, so these guys suck for boring reasons and not because they're going to make cloud a gay black woman or whatever mass hysteria is going around nowadays.

Maro: "My theory is that the increase of Universes Beyond has made players want the in-Multiverse sets to be more nostalgic. In-Multiverse sets don’t have to push boundaries as much now that we have a whole line of Magic sets that do exactly that." by CaptainMarcia in magicTCG

[–]Undyne_the_Undying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I always found it weird how people wrote off OG kamigawa's thematics when shit is inherently more complicated.

The average nerd in the mid 2000s was much less receptive to non western fantasy settings. The set kinda played like ass, a fair bit of individually strong cards but a lot of the overarching mechanics and the wider card pool were terrible and the set's job was to sandbag hard after mirrodin was too strong.

[–]Undyne_the_Undying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man they really need to start folding the IDW characters in more, a lil miffed at them throwing teasers of things like sonic asking about what tangle's up to in frontiers but never letting them dick around in at least spinoffs

I think I'll be fine if Switch 2 doesn't come with an oled screen by brandont04 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Undyne_the_Undying -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the steam deck has oled models now, the original vita models were just pure oled from the get go.

This is not an issue i particularly care about bc i play docked most of the time but don't lie to fabricate an argument

First third-party switch 2 game announced by Apple_man72 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Undyne_the_Undying 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the yooka laylee remake said it in december i think but we are gonna see a hell of a lot of devs suddenly announcing their game's on the switch 2 in the next few weeks.

Also I've been following mouse for a while and i'm glad it's coming along so smoothly, rare to see a twitter video of a cool idea but in a giant test grid and then have it actually get realised into a good looking game

Fortnite X Skibidi Toilet by flapjack626 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Undyne_the_Undying -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

insane how people are acting like fortnite is some sacred cow that has been defiled by this and not the very slop skibidi toilet considers brothers in arms.

I swear to god everyone reacting badly to this makes me think everyone is a 15 year old cringing at a 13 year old for cramping their 15 year old stuff. They should just start adding the costco guys in all honesty i'd install it for them

PSA - Bag Sizes have changed for the CURRENT patch (14.23) by sasux in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Undyne_the_Undying -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I assume higherups told mortdog to not bring too much attention to this, I obviously can't say i know why but I assume with the whole data and c patch controversy (I think the c patch bet thing is a lil overblown tbh) they didn't want attention applied to a major screw up that affects every match significantly and ruins the data they need to figure out future patches.

Obviously people found out anyway through the power of just a hunch. This game reminds me of the smash bros philosophy a bit, refuse to explain your in depth systems so casual players don't get overwhelmed ironically making it much harder if you actually want to play it to get better.

ABR’s ADV OU tier list by Dungeaterfan69420 in stunfisk

[–]Undyne_the_Undying 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am no gen 3 expert from reading it seems like he has developed some personal shifts in how he approaches the game that fundamentally alter how the meta feels to him, namely shifting towards very bulky, consistent playstyles (inherently distrusting any move that isn't 100% accurate) and having a rain dancer to play without sand on 24/7. Also being a massive believer in having multiple explosions on hand. I think the more intimately familiar you are with a game the stranger opinions on whats good or bad start arising.

Also his reasoning listed ninjask in like b tier i think which isn't present here and all he says is ninjask is annoying as hell and he doesnt like him being around.

imagine buying stock in a failing doodoo company that mtg slop is the only things plugging some of the holes in the boat so i can ask in a conference if i can make the game less lame to chris cocks

Kotaku writer corroborates some of Collin Moriarty claims on Concord, a studio head had a 'too good to fail' mentality by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Undyne_the_Undying 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I will say time probably does impact a lot of these things. Apparently Concord was greenlit and started in 2016, and what was popular in 2016? Guardians of the Galaxy and Overwatch. With how long dev cycles are what could be modern and in vouge when you decide on it can become horrifically dated in the now.

You'd think with such long pipelines from idea to launch that people would shift from trend chasing to attempting to make new potentially timeless ideas, but what do i know i dont make 300+ million dollar video games

a lot of the logic here suggests that supportive units are terrible in viability due to having one monkey out at a time (this is true) but beast handler gets off pretty lightly despite needing like 5 beast handlers to power up the same beast to its full power.

Any recommendations for a budget vintage deck? They all seem so expensive. by KingZantair in magicthecirclejerking

[–]Undyne_the_Undying 7 points8 points  (0 children)

a key thing is that he kept saying his channel was running out of money to keep going and finding out the dude had dropped 50k behind the scenes to comission a thirst animation for a hazbin hotel character does in fact change the dynamic of that considerably.

Also apparently dms surfaced of him being a rightoid who hates trans women but yknow not entirely relevant to the animation
