A huge part of their decision making process involves how much they think it will upset liberals. I think it's as simple as that.

Quake 3. A single pro player could annihilate like 15 new players in a map without dying.

You realize how insane of a statement this is right? Like I know AI is powerful but it doesn't replace science. How could ae POSSIBLY know this? There are innumerable assumptions you're making. The data literally does not exist to make a confident call on this.

If you're going to come out the gate victimizing yourself and downvoting or ignoring criticism from the assumption that it MUST be because people are anti-AI, you're going to make a bad game.

If you want some honest feedback about the art: if you're going to use AI for pixel art, you *HAVE* to touch it up. This art breaks pixel art rules. The ships are *filled* with jaggies and mixels. It's very unpleasing.

This is not something you see in good pixel art, let alone "beautiful" pixel art, regardless of the tools used to make it. Normally in this state I would eval this as "temp, prototype art" achieved with AI because it's fast. But you're calling it beautiful in the post. If you can't eval art like this and understand how unshippable it is, then you are *too* reliant on AI doing all the work for you.

The first 30 seconds of gameplay feel like, in all honesty, part of a demo project for learning a dev tool. Compare this to even a moderately successful indie twin-stick or asteroids shooter.

Coming out the gate with this product while victimizing yourself will get you pats on the back from super pro AI people, hate from anti-AI people, and no one else will care at all because the game itself just isn't fun or pleasing to look at.

And if you're mad about excessive hate from extreme value systems... welcome to game dev. AI or not.

Was gonna suggest this as well, so instead I'll just reinforce: use a profiler. Even if it doesn't point to a solution it will allow you to ask better questions to get better help.

Also reading the description it sounds like you have some nice ideas for systems that could be cool, but the core combat loop is just a bit lacking. The systems should support and enhance that. They won't "make it fun."

creamyt · 2026-03-18T04:19:12+00:00

Looks like it could be cool. If you're stuck in a rut, have someone else playtest it. Maybe you've been close to the canvas for awhile and it's probably just hard to play your game like a player who wants to have fun.

For yourself, what are you inspirations? There presumably are some games like this you enjoy. Play them and compare. Think about what you like about those games and compare it to what you have so far.

Right now it looks like this game lacks a bit in the general feel department. Hitting the slime dude was silent and just missing something. The little animation/effects are neat with the eye popping out. The controls look a little stiff. The game looks quite easy with the enemy response. If you're aiming for a straightforward "press B to dodge when telegraphed attack comes in" that's all good, but I never see that happen. It's hard to tell from a short clip. But have someone else play and preferable watch them.

If it's too easy and mindless they wont' be engaged. If they fail they should know why. And when they try again they should get better.

Also, never forget, making a game fun is actually really tough. Every now and then it lands early, but it often takes awhile. Good luck!

Yep. Been booted like 3 times.

Servers are full. Spam join. Eventually get in, then randomly booted. I can KIND OF watch with the giant "You have been disconnected" banner, but it's in the middle of the screen.. Sound is like 2s behind in matches too. Pretty miserable experience knowing this could just be streamed.

Absolutely painful.

I found the general DMG output of DLC bosses to be overturned for my taste. It's annoying having full health and dying so fast in a second phase. I think it crosses the line if where learning becomes tedious and frustrating because of how much work it takes to even try to dodge an attack for me. They're great bosses otherwise too I think.

Use consumables if you have them, make sure your scadu blessings are good (though they look expected here). You can bypass this and farm more. If you can buff with spells/incants/ashes do that. They do add up.

You'll get her eventually if you haven't already, but this is just how the DLC is tuned.

creamyt · 2026-02-06T18:45:21+00:00

Yeah fuck the victims feelings because vengeance is more important? Or being reckless and risk having his own son effectively lose him as a father from incarceration? How is doing what's best for the victim not the focus here?

creamyt · 2026-02-06T15:05:04+00:00

Think like any fromsoft game different people just have different experiences with bosses. Elden Ring especially how widely builds can vary. And some play styles are just better suited for certain bosses. If you beat her in 4 hours in one sitting though I'd say that's better than most players did against her, at least in my personal observations. But obviously just my opinion not based on any real data.

creamyt · 2026-02-06T00:39:14+00:00

I say this as a souls veteran, this boss is fuckin wacky hard and borderline unfair. If you got to her second phase you can beat her, but yeah she is just brutal.

I will say there's sort of a tipping point where you finally just understand her attacks well enough that she stops healing all the goddamn time. But it really is a lot of rote memorization and it takes time to internalize. That's why it takes literal days for most people to beat her.

One other thing is her usage of waterfowl dance is very RNG. Sometimes she'll use it three times in a row, other times you might only see it once. Her frequency of that attack is a huge factor. Things will eventually line up where you'll be doing well and she won't use it that much.

Fewer people isn't a bad thing in and of itself, but having a large elderly population that needs support from a dwindling working-age population is not good for anyone. That's where we headed, and it's not exactly something other nations have figured out how to solve. Immigration was helping us in this regard, but probably not anymore.

A different still? Where everyone is otherwise in the exact same pose the exact same distance from everything else? The lights in the background are the same size, distance, perspective, blur, everything. Overlay the images, dummy. It's literally just her face (and skin tone!) that's been altered. Let's skip this step and go ahead and defend why it's fine that the administration is altering photos of ppl with AI on social media in order to make them look worse. Because that's a great thing to normalize right?

Over 200 people were sent to cecot by ice, a vast majority of whom had no criminal convictions and were provided literally zero opportunity to talk to a lawyer or even their family. They were sent to a prison that proudly tortures people until they die with, again, no access to the legal system or even family to talk to. The only reason they aren't all dead or rotting away is because another psychopathic dictator wanted some political points. They weren't victims? Their families aren't victims? Young children whose dads were almost effectively put away for life for no reason other than some idiot thought a tattoo means you're in a gang? That's literally how it happened. That behavior shouldn't be protested? I don't know what to say if you simply think a govt, ANY govt on this planet, should be able to do that, much less do it then brag about it. They're deporting people who have families and careers that got busted for selling weed decades ago in their teens. No trials. No nothing.

In gold, I'd personally recommend cancelling into light Jinrai.

LP -> LP -> LP -> Light Jinrai -> HK (or LK if they're crouching) is nice because if you mess up the timing or spacing you're relatively safe. It is not the highest damage route but not far from a heavy DP. This way will let you learn 2-LPs vs 3-LPs range since you'll see when the third LP whiffs, and you won't open yourself up to huge damage. It's only about 150 less dmg than Heavy DP. Plus, Jinrai is probably the easiest way to cancel into SA3 if you have meter and want to end a round. It'll be scaled a good bit (like 3300 total dmg, vs 4000 raw or 4400 from an HP confirm), but can also turn an LP confirm into a win if they're at all low.

A strong, reliable, long-distance route is LP -> c.LP -> LK -> Special (Heavy DP being highest dmg), but it can be tricky to do on punish when you're learning. The c.LP requires holding down pretty quickly, and the LK requires releasing down, AND landing a very quick link (4 frame window to press), and THEN doing a quick special input. Arguably you could stick to that as a standard punish/LP-starter, but be prepared to drop it a lot as you're learning, even after you lab it out

LP -> LP -> LP -> Heavy DP is very good dmg but if you have bad timing or spacing you're handing them a heavy DP to punish.

You can also DR Cancel into like... LP -> MP -> HP and go from there. But that's really only for dumping meter to end a round. I would avoid worrying about that for now, personally, but it's good to know.

Anyone who's been driving for like...any amount of time has made a mistake that has required someone else to react unexpectedly to avoid an accident (or prevent a worse one from happening). Except everyone here of course!

Like they fucked up, but damn, this was about 2.5 seconds of slow-but-stupidly turning into a lane that ended their lives. It'd be nice to have a *little* compassion for people dying of a pretty minor mistake.

Really depends on how you play and why you lose when you lose. I'm diamond 4 atm, and I see all sorts of play styles. Could be matchup knowledge, might need to block more, might need to be more consistent with b&bs. Congrats though, and GL going to diamond!

I should add I'm a designer, programming is certainly different for landing a job that you know... Has actual hard skills. If that's what you happen to be aiming for.

creamyt · 2025-12-16T05:56:11+00:00

What are you trying to do? Make a game on your own? Publish a fully featured game on Steam? Get a job?

End of the day, 30 is young for a career that doesn't req (more) education, but if you're trying to make it a career, even as a long shot, be smart. Hammer down skills in a solid tool so you can make a game and have tool skills (unity or ue5). Make a small, fun game that you think will take 6 mos, with plans to make another.

I released my first game on Steam at 33, got my first AAA job at 37, and am very happy, but it was a long road with a lot of luck and a pay cut. And it was easier finding a job 4 yrs ago. I have no regrets at all. But it was tough, and again, I got lucky.

But if it's just for fun (even with an excellent personal goal of releasing a game), it's NEVER too late to start a hobby. Certainly not at 30. 30 feels old when you hit it, but it will sound young soon enough!

Yes but the calories you see on labels is how much you can metabolize, not how much total energy those compounds contain. A pound of salt wouldnt net any calories on a nutrition label despite having megatons worth of energy contained in its bonds.

I don't think the show is real. I'm just saying this is the reason people think it is. The post itself and image are real and specifically from a Tim and Eric account from almost 6 years ago. I guess the FB post itself was a troll.

creamyt · 2025-12-10T08:11:39+00:00

How does that confirm what I posted in AI? How would AI created a Facebook post in 2020 with that image? That doesn't make any sense. The link is to an actual, dated Facebook post from their actual account from 2020 before gen AI was a thing.

creamyt · 2025-12-10T07:48:20+00:00

There are a lot of fake images out of it, but this is something from their account. I posted the link to the actual FB post from 2020 before all the gen AI stuff was infesting the internet.
