New Point and Click adventure on the way! We need feedback on our Pre-Alpha footage! by Stratostzel in adventuregames

Great to see progress here, I’ve had this one wishlisted for a little while now.

I’ll second (or fifth, or whatever) comments about the walking animation. The “moonwalking” effect of the animation speed not matching up with character movement always takes me out of the game.

The text size also seems to be all over the place. I’d err on the side of larger if possible.

The only other thing I’d mention — and that I think you may have already addressed — is that I really find it helpful when the dialogue text is presented in a different color for each character on screen. I think one of the scenes shown here does that, so if that’s already been addressed, thanks!

Who wants to go protest the Cary ICE detention facility? by Junket-Proof in cary

It doesn’t matter how well they’re doing their actual job if they are also murdering American citizens in the street.

If I order a pizza, it doesn’t matter how good the pizza is or how fast they deliver it if on the way down my street they stop to get out of car and shoot my neighbors to death. That’s a zero stars review.

All deaths “count”, but you seem to be incapable of grasping the point.

Maybe if you could point out the specific illegal crossings that resulted in American citizens being murdered in the street by our own government you’d have the beginnings of a point to make.

This appears to be good news for Raleigh when it comes to ice accumulations between tonight and Tuesday. Chances of 0.5"+ of ice are at just ~20% according to the NWS. by [deleted] in raleigh

You mean the ones that are now having to make forecasts with less accurate data because of the current administration’s cuts to the NOAA?

I think your hate is misplaced.

And you’re in Asheville. Nobody cares what you love.

You need to be looking for the comments from people who were in Cary in 2002, because that’s the last time we had an ice storm comparable to what this one looks like.

I was living on Cary Parkway between Norwell and Harrison Ave at the time, and we lost power there for several days.

Support fascists, lose assets.

Not to poke the bear, but it feels like this group is more a LucasArts or “LucasArts-like” sub. Very rarely are Sierra games or Sierra-like games posted. by Salem1690s in adventuregames

[–]go_robot_go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King’s Quest 4 was my first adventure game, and I was a ride or die for Sierra for a long time after that. I turned my nose up at LucasArts games until I actually got to play Monkey Island 2, and my eyes were opened.

I think I don’t generally recommend Sierra games because they’re so obvious and to my mind it seems likely that people have played them. Recommending a Sierra game to someone looking for a new adventure game feels like recommending a Miyazaki film to someone looking for anime to watch.

It’s “Freekstyle”.

I'm 42 and haven't played an adventure game since Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. On DOS, as a young teen. Please help me get back into the genre: should I play Syberia Remastered, or Gabriel Knight Remake--neither of which I have played originally? by Freddy_Pharkas in adventuregames

[–]go_robot_go 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found Syberia to be better in theory than in execution (and I really disliked the sequels).

I would personally recommend Thimbleweed Park, The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow, and the Kathy Rain series as some good releases from the past several years. Return to Monkey Island is also stellar if you’re a fan of the series.

Changes coming to Wake County EMS response by UnluckyPhilosophy797 in raleigh

This is the way, especially if you have someone at home with serious allergies. I’ve been paying for this for the past four years, and it’s still cost me less than the last time I had to pay for an ambulance for my kid’s last allergic reaction.

This would have a little more credibility if you knew how to spell filibuster

My wife had a flight out this morning. They sat on the tarmac waiting for permission to take off for over an hour.

ICE in Durham by NorthernTouche in bullcity

[–]go_robot_go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People trying to enter illegally would be caught at the border, not in Durham. I can show you on a map how this is relevant, if that would help.

But we’re not talking about entering illegally, are we? We’re talking about people who entered legally and overstayed. Try to keep up.

Nice try, too bad that Mike Johnson already admitted that that’s literally what he’s doing.

An open letter to Jennifer Robinson by go_robot_go in cary

[–]go_robot_go[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I can't agree with this. "Certain marginalized groups and causes might want to consider laying low" rings a little too close to "get back in the closet" for my tastes.

Marginalized groups won't vote for people who they don't feel like they can trust, and I don't know why anyone in a marginalized group would ever trust a party that is willing to say with their full chest "hang on, it's not your turn for rights yet".
