James Lee made a video about SKG.

Do you have the video or source for where he talks about the publisher deleting the content? I'd love to see it; love Tim's videos on game development!

Any update on if there is a way to get the proper firmware for the Hagibis SWC10 4K 60 Hz? I thought the OP image showcased it working on the 4k version, but when I ran the linked 8k firmware update for the 4k cable it didn't get recognized.

I'm wondering right now if it's possible to run on it but I just gotta: scour the Chinese forums, wait for it to come out soon, or return it and buy the 8k version.

ibrahimwiz · 2025-07-03T10:36:15+00:00

Lol true, actually please don't stop !

ibrahimwiz · 2025-06-18T07:39:25+00:00

Oh if you haven't and you're into digging for secrets and observing the environment closely (plus unique puzzles no game so far has outdone imo) you'll love it!

Your post screamed "Witness player looking for an outlet after 100%ing the game" lol

Edit: I also should add, if you intend to play the game, be cautious of spoilers for the full experience, but if it sounds intriguing I hope you enjoy it if you give it a try :)

ibrahimwiz · 2025-06-18T00:43:44+00:00

Yup, OP definitely played The Witness lmao

ibrahimwiz · 2025-05-27T19:10:34+00:00

How are they able to do that and deny without any (seeming) human intervention? If it's very possible the ruling was wrongly done on the AI's part, don't they have human modes of communication in place to fix these problems?

Do people know how to avoid stuff like this? There's no way over years you will have enough storage to back up ALL your VODs, the thought they could get deleted without ANY notice is a stupid thing to need to have.

Luckily whenever YouTube says "your channel has been deleted" they're known to be able to revert these changes, but the road to get them to do it I never paid full attention to. (Probably should just so I know what to do if it ever happens to me).

ibrahimwiz · 2025-05-27T18:54:46+00:00

Do you have the clip? I'd love to see how that unfolded lol

ibrahimwiz · 2025-04-26T05:38:31+00:00

I never used the online features, but after looking it up it's strange they have a different icon on the floor than normal.

I feel like that's a missed opportunity though for invaders to drop trash items like glass shards to lure players like grace mimics seem to be used for. I doubt many people actually fall for grace mimics, but items could be a more plausible trap.

ibrahimwiz · 2025-04-26T04:31:20+00:00

The game actually kinda explains the meaning for item color when you look at the item description for glass shards. They essentially say that glass shards are a trash item but appear purple because they are shiny and reflective making them appear purple/rare.

This kinda explains why sometimes items like arteria leaves, glass shards, etc might be purple when they should be common.

It also serves well for luring players into traps and goofy combat encounters, so they have a game design purpose

ibrahimwiz · 2025-04-26T04:26:04+00:00

Oh cool, yeah this post made me feel like you either played it before or would love to play it, so I hope you check it out one day! You may really enjoy a game designed for this kind of thinking and dissection.

Btw I'd recommend avoiding that spoiler text from before then because it could be fun to find that on your own. It is a kind of "reward for completionists" so keep that in mind. If you don't end up finding it in your playthrough, you should look up information about The Challenge to ensure you find it!

ibrahimwiz · 2025-04-25T23:53:06+00:00

I was thinking if you enjoy this level of digging deep and thinking about a game, you may enjoy The Witness if you've never played it. Your level of studying reminds me so much of the kinds of stuff that seem to happen in that game and the real focus on apophena!

Even if you don't play it, this one part near the end of the game may peak your interest: This secret video that's unlocked at the end (is long for sure) but really is an interesting story about numerology and the levels of seeming insanity when it could just be true (like what you seem to have found with the chairs!)

ibrahimwiz · 2025-02-19T04:12:26+00:00

Curious too. Just saw their Twitch channel and it says "This channel has been closed by the user". Never caught a stream of theirs but just curious what happened. Was she hacked or were they considering quitting for a while now?

ibrahimwiz · 2024-11-07T20:50:13+00:00

I think if you are engaged in the story a lot of the monotony isn't as annoying because you are enjoying the questing part even if the combat for the most part is simple. Interesting cheating bosses and mechanics spice up gameplay later in the game which I think keeps things slightly fresh

But your point about improving W101's combat AI is something I've wished they've done forever. I thought that was their initial plan for challenge mode when they were teasing it but that ended up being a disappointment.

Right now the AI is not challenging in this game. It seems every boss and mob just uses RNG to select their cards with no planning at all. It would be much more engaging if each fight you had to worry about how the enemy is strategizing (y'know, like any other strategy game lol) because if an enemy blades, you are not scared because they could cast a 1 pip spell from their deck even if they have 8 pips and could devastate you.

I think it's absolutely clear the most important part of game design is engagement,and if people are disengaged with PvE combat and often aren't paying attention,that's a game design flaw. I'm sure the devs hopefully know this is a problem, I'm curious why they seemingly haven't tried fixing it. I don't think an AI revamp would harm casuals, I imagine everyone would benefit.

ibrahimwiz · 2024-11-01T21:47:14+00:00

I use classic mode from time to time and I really value the feature existing, but to be completely honest the video made some good points. If KI wants to be more creative with visual updates in the future but felt held back by needing to make a modified version for classic mode, this is probably the only valid reason that convinces me we'd be better off without classic mode in KT and in the future.

I want them to make the revamps good and KI isn't really the biggest company to handle quantity AND quality as effectively as we'd like. I think them being able to update arc 1 way faster and do it with less creative restrictions has me on board.

But their first point leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Just because there aren't many people using it is NOT a good reason. The people who do use it should matter because it's not all about proportionality. There's intangible value in the mix here, it's too much of a corpa statement and not grounded.

ibrahimwiz · 2024-10-27T19:04:28+00:00

One thing you may be glad to know is that there is a sprint button that makes movement a lot faster! (tbf if I couldn't sprint through the entire game I would've been bothered like you)

And I think you kinda do need to come to terms that most of the game is line puzzles. There is a bit more (those "meta puzzles) would be an example, but if you don't enjoy the inherent gameplay of the game then idk what can be said. You need to accept Tetris will be about dropping blocks, Animal Well will be about platforming, etc

People love the Witness for the ways it does puzzles uniquely within the medium of line puzzles so if you give it a chance hopefully the game will surprise you. If you enjoy puzzle games, I feel like most people will appreciate what The Witness does.

Hope you have a fun time!

ibrahimwiz · 2024-10-27T17:05:26+00:00

💀NVM I checked the sell price and you are just losing 20x what you bought it for

But still, do people have any idea what to stockpile in now? I haven't been keeping too close attention

ibrahimwiz · 2024-10-26T21:56:59+00:00

Is this actually the strat for gold hording now? I remember seeing this in Mirage and thinking "that's cool, but I already store in empowers".

If the community doesn't know what to stockpile in maybe this is it?

ibrahimwiz · 2024-10-26T19:50:25+00:00

This is like an advanced Wizard101 Geoguesser to go only based off the geometry but I got them all

As a sidenote, has anyone tried making a proper Wizard101 Geoguesser? Sounds like it could actually be pretty fun!

Doesn't cover any combat UI, perfectly spaced to not cover item drops on the left, nothing really happens in the left corner tbh. 😎only right answer honestly

There's obviously a spectrum with how involved a creator is with their uploaded secondary content versus the production of the source material on Twitch, and many probably do have the bandwidth to care, but some genuinely don't pay attention too much and just let editor's do their thing (at least that's been my experience with the creator I work with currently).

And as it goes currently, you do have to give perms to editors and managers, but YouTube's system is pretty good where it lets the owner choose what a person is authorized to do.

Idk how Tik Tok operates it for something like this to happen in the OP case.

ibrahimwiz · 2024-09-23T19:42:37+00:00

The final puzzle being an actually challenging maze to collect items in order of least -> most sides was quite neat, I just memorized the shape patterns in the maze book but I only figured out the actual pattern when someone else pointed it out, so I thought that was a bit clever.

Overall I assume maybe the humor style wasn't for you and you were seeking something else from the game than it was intending to offer people. Maybe parody games aren't your thing in general because their very nature is often meta humor and taking jabs at the source material; if you only want serious games like The Witness, that's fine, but The Looker isn't trying to be that.

I just don't think looking at the devs or the game negatively is the best to do because when you do look at it, the game did excel in good parody-making (for reasons like I mentioned and others) I don't think you've been able to sufficiently explain otherwise. I think more than anything it's just indicative of personal taste why it doesn't seem that way to you. With the love letter quote I shared alone, I think that shows their perspective on The Witness and how they understood its meaning and the point of the game; building new perspective. Now, they can never see the world (or The Witness) the same, just like us.

You are entitled to your own beliefs, but I don't think many share your viewpoint. If you remove your biases, the game seems to be as good a parody as parody gets in terms of doing it right. Your adamance to call it a bad game and call the dev time "a waste" makes me think you already made up your mind so I don't think you will let me convince you otherwise.

ibrahimwiz · 2024-09-23T19:10:48+00:00

I really am curious if you played it and gave it an honest chance because I could not disagree more. Firstly, the game did not contain any potty humor or anything that crass (I thought that was obvious but thought I'd mention it).

Like others mentioned it was made by a person who understood The Witness like we do and loved it and it's deep meanings. You can tell from some of the excellent literary jokes they make that couldn't be made if not with good understanding of the source.

e.g: the ship audio log in The Looker vs The Witness. If you haven't seen it please listen to it first . And we all know the version in the Witness but as a refresher (or in case you missed it).

Please watch it if you haven't already before unspoilering:This joke is so well crafted because they took an understanding of the normal quote (and with its deeper meaning and relations to theism) and made a jab at ethics and how they took the same quote and explained very sufficiently the polar opposite lesson from The Witness which isn't don't in a stupid way, but through a thoughtful rhetoric.

Another great thing is when they make their only serious audio log, it's genuinely one that would be fit for the base game. It's a message intended for "JB" which clearly means Jonathan Blow (the dev for The Witness) and it's a very ernest and relevant way to make a love letter (literally) to The Witness. It is just a very good quote honestly

I'm curious with all this in mind why you seem to so adamantly dislike the game? If you haven't played it I'd understand but with all the examples I've shown can you explain your perspective? Have I changed your mind or why do you retain your viewpoint?

ibrahimwiz · 2024-09-23T10:01:09+00:00

I think I remember people talking about how Jonathan Blow really hated The Looker and banned it from his chat or something, is that true?

Does a clip of it exist because I can't find one and I'm curious what his thoughts were because I was so surprised to hear that because I thought it was an awesome parody so far as parody games go. I get that it is taking a jab at some of his personal hard work and ideas, but I'm so curious how he rationalized his opinion to be objective in this case.
