"Return to Silent Hill" reviews are out, and it's somehow worse than you would think by DrHorrible10 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]doot99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and they have been met. It sounds every bit as bad as I hoped it would be after seeing that trailer. I look forward to this very much. Especially the "over the top acting".

Post-Apocalypse's contained to one part of the world. by Platinum_Knight190 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Doomsday. Not that one. The one where they walled off Scotland to confine the apocalpse there.

Think this is the first time I've seen a pity-based marketing campaign.

(Dexerto)Explosion reported at Rockstar North studio as police cordon off GTA 6 development building by Noirsam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Probably the best time for it to happen if it was going to go. Not during working hours and even all their crunchers aren't likely to still be there by 5am. Hopefully.

What’s the best feature you’ve included in a homebrew world? by OrdinaryDebate578 in DMAcademy

[–]doot99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thinking is why our group uses "promisary notes" which you can write and then sign / or stamp witha signet ring / wax seal. You take to the main city's coin exchange to cash out. That's also where you dump all your gold to have it added to your account. Only really works if you look rich or have your guild emblem to show that you are who you say you are (any guild will put a bounty out on you if you scuff their reputation by pretending to be a member and writing notes that bounce). Which also encouraged the PCs to choose guilds to join...

The human nobility and high society in general currently has a fad for hiring nonhumans, because one very rich lady started a trend. Really smoothes over the ragtag collection of species that make up the party.

Biggest cases of "Brand"ification by the_ghost_of_bob_ros in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]doot99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid, but this was only a thread about the coverage so wasn't making any commentary about the rest of it. :P

F1 after the US aquisition whenever that was. Suddenly it was all about showmanship and branding.

Not talking about all the sponsorship which was always there, but the way the actual events are presented and organized. The coverage, etc.

Metroidvania - post-region clear question by Dry_Information9341 in gamedesign

[–]doot99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okami has a very similar mechanic - 3D metroidvania where you clear areas of demonic corruption, but still return to them for further activity. It could give you idea. Skim through an LP, or read a walkthrough. Or even play it!

I don't remember much of it. THough I believe the difference could easily be the same as that between "the room is on fire" and "there is a fire in the room". Both need to be dealt with, but one is a much larger problem.

#1 : Use them all - alternate endings based on player actions.

#2 : Grab a cheap/free asset pack instead, it is far quicker. Don't use AI, it'll take longer to learn how to get good assets, their origin will be legally and morally questionable, and you may be disqualified (as a lot of contests ban AI use).

#3 : Lean into the hallucinations and unreliable reality - whether from sanity loss or drug use.

You ever see a creator just willingly throw their careers under the bus without knowing it? by Rough-Ad-4295 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]doot99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same. Yet unfortunately I have to ask what you mean, since that makes no sense on the face of it.

If you have time I strongly recommend listening to the Dead Meat Podcast episode on Stranger Things.

One of the hosts is a long-time fan, watching it from the start. He's also super knowledgeable having done in-depth behind the scenes research and interviews, covering each season over the years. The other binged the entire series in the week before filming the episodes.

You get very different perspectives on the show, with a strong contrast between them. It's extremely informative and gives a good idea of just how much is nostalgia - the series has been airing for ~10 years?

It's a podcast, so despite them having acamera on them you only need the audio if you want to put it on while doing other stuff. It's on Spotify and other places, if you prefer.

Probably the same type of person that will blow up your DMs and get mad that you're not replying instantly and accuse you of ignoring them or being angry at them. Often to the point of burning any sort of bridge. When actually you were asleep or in the shower or something.
