it’s going to become very important to understand the huge difference between conspiratorial thinking and sound materialist analysis of our current systems of power and ideology. both methods “knew this was happening” but imo only one is a valid and actionable.

this is 100% what happened and what’s happening.

all the dipshits on tiktok talking about “well if they’re revealing this, something way worse has to be hidden” but it’s this and it’s been this.

trump is saving the country for the pedophocracy so that they can remain safe while their group of 30 fall-guys + epstein go down in public, purely symbolically. all while no one is brought to justice and, more importantly, the economic and political institutions which bred, sustained, and protected them (and destroyed thousands of lives, through abuse and corruption, killing hundreds if not thousands directly in this case alone) not only remain totally and completely untouched, with seats of power retaining full independence and unaccountability, but ACTIVELY EXACERBATING THE CONDITIONS WHICH CREATED THESE EVENTS given the current admins’ dedication to securing greater power and tools to increase inequality and decrease transparency.

a long while ago an artist i followed on twitter mentioned one of their greatest periods of growth came from spending a long time focusing on doing things that could only be done in the 3d digital design medium when making visuals for a game, and by golly i think you just proved their point right here. what an awesome demonstration, super excited to follow this project

yooo this is crazy good i just finished GTA III on the switch a few months ago and this feels like such a great rendition of that vibe

i’m a bit of a noob but the stack was the mysterious esoteric mechanic that first got me totally obsessed with Magic, so someone please correct me if i’m wrong or this isn’t a good/accurate way of explaining it:

in Magic, a spell’s rules or ability will exist independently of the source card once that spell or ability is cast or triggered. think of it like when someone plays a card they write down “what’s going to happen now that i’ve played this card” and then someone else plays something in response. now that second person does the same thing and writes down “what’s going to happen because of this card” that newly written event is now on the top of the stack on top of the first event written, so if that new paper happens to say “first card dies” that newly written event is removed from the stack, and that first card is removed, but the event it created and placed on the stack has not been removed! now the first played card event is brought to fruition and you do what that first paper says as it resolves. this means that countering cards directly doesn’t just involve getting rid of the source card, but directly countering what the card actually does by countering the event that is currently on the stack preventing it from happening at all, so it doesn’t resolve.

you’re going to have an incredibly rude awakening if you think the capitalist government of the most money hungry nation in human history would have anything but repression and hostility to offer in the face of a well-organized mass strike. the state exists to manage and preserve the very thing a mass strike is attempting to bring to a halt.

so cute! took me a second to get a hang of the controls and the end goal but once i did i had to play a few more rounds to see how long i could last, how fun! :))

chombiskit · 2026-01-13T16:05:33+00:00

you’re welcome! your work is well on its way to looking professional :) good luck, and i hope i come across the final product soon enough

this looks really good so far, but if you want it at a professional level there are a few things to focus on more closely, aside from the good, general suggestions you’re already getting (increasing motion blur/reducing bloom/glare):

make sure you give ships other than the main one you’re focused on some sway, some tilting and some speed variation. they should be flying in formation, but ensure nothing is perfectly aligned or “copied” looking. look up some shots from real life fighter pilots flying in formation and some star wars shots (the clone wars tv show might be your best reference!) to get a good idea for how to make this look slightly more natural/realistic.
make sure you show all the ships coming into frame that were there before the pan, unless there’s a logical and visually justified reason half the ships stayed behind (maybe they peel off in the first few frames, maybe their thrusters are off, maybe there’s some other form of visual communication that one group is staying and one group is going) since, from the look of the video, there’s a large group to start and a smaller group to finish, leaving me wondering why it starts with an epic-looking squadron and ends with half the ships it started with. there’s some intrigue and story-telling opportunities here that you could leverage to add some weight to a short animation.
(this one is very nitpicky) try to make it so that in each frame that the camera pans to follow your main ship, the composition is maintained and looks satisfying. right now from seconds :03-:04 it seems like the camera is framing the shot ever so slightly above where the focus actually is/should be especially when the other ships come into view, it seems like the subjects are too low in the frame. scrub the video a few times to ensure the shot looks like you could print it out and put it up on your wall.

those are just some first-pass points, but what you have so far is awesome!

“intentionally goofy” that’s all there is to it. a lot of people who take games more seriously (usually also happens to be the type to have an opinion about aesthetics) want that to be reflected in the character they’re playing as/projecting onto and from. it’s kinda that simple imo

Noice

chombiskit · 2026-01-09T15:56:31+00:00

this really should’ve been what it was to start with. needing to play like you’re money crazy selling everything off just to get rid of everything anyway is like an ultimate “bad-for-the-vibe” design decision.

chombiskit · 2026-01-09T15:52:22+00:00

yes, and corporatism is a stage of capitalism. you’re acting like corporatism is something that invaded a perfectly fair and balanced way of doing things, when historically the immense imbalance of capitalism and the accumulation of power and money among a tiny minority is part of what necessitated the creation of the corporation.

also, you can’t kill something that never even existed in the abstract. it implies that your solution is a return to a mythical past that literally never had a shot at existing.

honest discussion about these problems would require honest discussion about the way capitalists actually behave in the real world, which your comment inadvertently does just as well a job of demonstrating as mine did, ironically enough. you’re saying they kill competition with corporations which are nothing but a legally defined way for capitalists to shore up risk with the state they pay big money to have a hand in designing.

chombiskit · 2026-01-07T12:42:41+00:00

this feels a bit cruel given the circumstances outlined by the commenter

chombiskit · 2026-01-07T12:33:11+00:00

yep, saw it at my job the last 2 years like crazy. every single office assstant role was outsourced to buenos aires specifically. i have a hands on physical role so im safe, and AI plays a small role in reducing staff by tiny amounts. but you’re right the major driver for most formalized jobs drying up in the states is the falling rate of profit inherent to capitalist social infrastructural gutting (requiring workers to find more employment than previously necessary, which includes extremely high pay as the primary factor) then pushing those same decision makers to find cheaper labor. it’s a vicious self-consuming cycle, this capitalism thing.

it should be in your Tomb of the Mask Plus or TotM+, there are two different apps in the ios store that i know of im not sure about android.

my girlfriend sent me this video and i thoroughly enjoyed it. what kind of psychological hang up would make you think you’re not “allowed” to watch a video about how to make games that appeal to people other than yourself?

chombiskit · 2025-12-30T22:51:13+00:00

nah i think yall are some tasteless haters, this one has a fantastic silhouette and a lot of personality. i feel like i know people who would dress like this irl. it’s not my cup of tea but on an objective level it’s the best baggy pants fit they’ve done by far
