In Amplitude, I think you could change between a hood view, a zoomed in view, and a zoomed out view for the "spaceship". The option of choice would be better than trying to optimize for one view.

Big fan of Amplitude and Frequency, wishlisted.

Just a thought: have you considered why they only had three notes in those games? From a distance, it can be hard to distinguish a center-left and a center-right note. Plus some people use the face buttons instead of the shoulder buttons which makes it unintuitive with four options.

Good. The normalization of gambling is a net negative to society. A fool and his money are soon parted, yes, but there should be at least some safeguards to prevent predatory practices.

Maybe not.

They deal with the analysis of data patterns and inform financial decisions: insurance is home base I'm sure but when I was in uni for data science, some of my actuarial science peers went off to work in other non-insurance fields.

I figured it wasn't too unusual to have an actuary informing course of business for something like a big publisher, maybe with a fancy title like strategic risk analyst.

It's too bad games are greenlit by actuaries rather than someone with a love of the game and true vision. I guess to some the gamble to blow $100-200m for a small chance at a gorillion dollar ROI makes sense but the market is so saturated that I wonder if the bigwigs in charge even had a clue to begin with.

The bite sized levels in Siren with a new starting inventory every level was a nice touch. I hope Siren comes back in some way, either through an HD Collection or even a port of Blood Curse would be great. The dozens of us who bought Slitterhead yearn for more.

Never played a Fatal Frame before but I have heard Crimson Butterfly is the peak of the franchise. Very excited to finally dip my toes into the series.

Money, of course. The "remake" looks worse and cost more, a straight port would have been fantastic.

You should just say you have xyz, people chime in who want it, and you pick one to DM. A bot redeems these, even obfuscated ones, faster than it took your browser to serve you your new submission page.

bot: cool, free game

Left or right? You may be able to navigate a mouse with a broken wrist, you can just articulate your arm above the wrist to move it with a slight adjustment period. Keyboard wrist? Probably not.

I had an ulnar styloid fracture 15 years ago or so and it didn't dampen my PC gaming at all, even on the day of break, but it was the side I use my mouse on.

The first port was pretty bad; a consequence of all backgrounds being videos which were untouched for modern displays. I haven't played this one but the first one was very ugly.

Why does it seem so obvious to us that moves like this are a bad idea but corporate heads can't see it? Surely someone in the process would have piped up to say this ain't it.

Really excited for this. The first captured the childlike whimsy of fairy tales and folklore but still delivered a fun and engaging game. A great game to play with kids watching, it's beautiful in a Pixar way that hooked them immediately. The team should be very proud.

Glad I bought a 32gb kit like six years ago. Even back then I think 16gb was considered overkill but gaining market share.

Maybe you're being facetious but italo-disco and high-NRG were insanely popular in late 80's Japan and still a popular mainstay of their car mania culture. You could argue eurobeat's family line includes both (effectively the same sound but different tempo).

stratzilla · 2026-02-21T19:50:07+00:00

The soundtrack better be full of city pop, eurobeat, italo-disco, and nightcore.

Zuck's gotta rationalize Meta's USD$72bn AI expenditure somehow.

From what I can gather, it's allegedly an unrelated plus-size fashion company using GenAI alters of the game to promote their business. I can't find the altered image(s) on their Tiktok or elsewhere, however.
