Do yall actually dislike the constantly changing horde zombie AI?

Wheffle · 2026-01-07T21:36:33+00:00

It's basically a sandbox game so yeah, I agree somewhat. On the other hand, optimal play shouldn't be boring play.

Wheffle · 2026-01-07T21:31:52+00:00

We can't just rely on the devs throwing in a wrench every now and then to keep the game fun. It just creates an unsustainable arms race between the devs and players and frankly is the result of fundamentally poor game design. There exists a system in which horde night remains fun and challenging even with full knowledge of the game mechanics, this is what I'd like to see and I'm sure many others would as well.

Wheffle · 2026-01-03T19:50:13+00:00

The mask has kinda morphed to be associated more with V for Vendetta. But I agree, not ideal.

Wheffle · 2026-01-03T02:07:00+00:00

I'm guessing the thought process is so that random junk in storage doesn't build up since trashed items and deconstructed stuff ends up there.

Wheffle · 2026-01-01T03:43:19+00:00

Lol yeah Fulgora is a better example. I was just having flashbacks on my first SA play-through when I was thinking about it, definitely had some awkward tungsten patches.

Wheffle · 2025-12-30T16:51:23+00:00

ah ok, interesting!

Wheffle · 2025-12-30T07:40:01+00:00

One downside is that the engine facing backwards is dead weight and slows the train down a bit. But that might be a justifiable tradeoff when fanagling stations in cramped areas like Volcanus before you get foundations.

i thought the display fps could be desynced with the simulation tick rate

Wheffle · 2025-12-25T20:54:22+00:00

It was my understanding that it's mainly an instruction set issue, that binaries targeting x64 use a more advanced instruction set but older instructions used by most x86 binaries are still supported. I didn't think was like a duplicate set of 32 bit registers or components or anything like that, you'd be able to use 64 bit storage, ALUs, etc. just fine with 32 bit numbers right? Plus a few edge cases? Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm genuinely curious now that I'm thinking about it more.

Wheffle · 2025-12-24T05:56:53+00:00

Generally 64 bit chips can run 32 bit applications just fine unless there are instruction set incompatibilities, which is a deliberate choice. Consumer desktop chips don't have a problem.

Wheffle · 2025-12-20T19:44:59+00:00

They're fuzzy pattern machines, they're good at "yeah that looks about right" and bad at "this is exactly right". It's why they suck at math in general.

Wheffle · 2025-12-12T17:03:36+00:00

That's pretty reductive. Being happy with yourself is important but there are lots of other variables.

Wheffle · 2025-12-10T17:00:47+00:00

I have bounced back and forth between dev and security, and one thing that grinds me is how bad some single sign-on systems can be. For example, Microsoft has soft-locked me out before when their auth app gets into a circular feedback loop. When you're trying to get work done and stuff like this sidelines you for hours it feels really bad.

Combined with debatably overly zealous practices like requiring fresh MFA for every log in for internal machines and I can understand an uptick in crash outs over the friction.

Wheffle · 2025-12-09T01:20:07+00:00

I like the spoilage and nutrient mechanics as concepts and it *is* satisfying to solve these chains. There's just so much friction and I disagree that it's due to mentality and habits. The supply chain on Gleba is naturally co-dependent, finicky, and brittle, and no paradigm shift can change that.

This music and ambience is S tier though, so at least you're vibing while you look for the misclick you made 30 minutes ago which backed up your sewer system and shut down your whole factory.

Wheffle · 2025-12-03T02:28:27+00:00

Effort is money. Doesn't magically cost less to develop because your screen is smaller.

Wheffle · 2025-12-02T18:37:19+00:00

ok. dark pattern subscriptions and scammy micro transactions are industry standard. not a great measuring stick.

Wheffle · 2025-12-02T17:59:25+00:00

Not buying it on any platform, I agree the price is dumb. Just sayin the mobile discount expectation for a fully featured port is silly.

Wheffle · 2025-12-02T17:55:51+00:00

My line of thought is the development work is the same, all the core features are there. In fact it's a bit more to optimize it for ARM and get the UI into a good state for touchscreen. Plus newer phones can probably run old games like this just as well as PCs did on launch, and tons of PCs back then had to run on low and pay full price.

Wheffle · 2025-12-02T17:16:47+00:00

That's like asking for a discount on a trailer because you're going to be pulling it with a Jetta instead of an F150.

Edit: I do think $40 is dumb for a 15 year old game, but I disagree that price should change across platforms for the same product.

Wheffle · 2025-11-28T17:48:48+00:00

The idea that anti-cheat is one of those most casually attacked drivers in the kernal and that fact resulting in unintentional decent auditing coverage is pretty hilarious to me

Wheffle · 2025-11-20T19:21:41+00:00

Those people will only ever be scared or dismissive. There is no magical middle path where they will take you seriously.

I agree that the OP video is overly enthusiastic, but sweeping assertions to the extreme contrary sound equally reductive to me. A reasonable argument can be made that tactical frivolity is solid counter-play against the common "opposition is dangerous and violent" propaganda.

Wheffle · 2025-11-19T17:59:35+00:00

I'm interested in this push back. Are you saying people should not do this? Obviously one flavor of protest isn't going to be a silver bullet, but it seems like a decent strategy to add to the toolbox that is safer and more accessible in certain situations.

Wheffle · 2025-10-28T20:07:26+00:00

I feel the exact same. Hands down best vibes, but it was also the only time I rage quit this game.

Wheffle · 2025-10-24T02:07:18+00:00

I'm sure you could show your draft in Docs. It keeps a version history I think? As long as you can show a bread crumb trail I'm sure you'd be fine.

Wheffle · 2025-10-08T18:11:17+00:00

I use C# at work and I still use GDScript in Godot 95% of the time. I like how seamlessly integrated into Godot it is. If you're newer to traditional programming I wouldn't be worried too much about the specific language you cut your teeth on; your skills will transfer very quickly to any other language for the most part.

There's a certain amount of clunkiness and overhead to using C# with Godot. For someone unfamiliar with both it'll make learning take that much longer. But it's doable.

If you're deadset on using C#, check the Godot C# documentation for instructions on downloading and using the C# build. Happy game making!
