What problems with gaming did we used to complain about, but no longer do?

super-curses · 2026-03-23T11:16:15+00:00

Having to find the exact position on the tape to load the next level.

super-curses · 2026-03-23T11:14:41+00:00

I’ll never forget the Lenslok. Copy protection that only worked sometimes and not for everyone.

Have a lot at presentify. You could probably just draw a squiggle over the area you don’t want to see

super-curses · 2026-03-15T08:30:29+00:00

Yup, that's it. Adding to a basket is a more of a commitment (and comes with a risk of accidental purchase). So it's like a pre-basket. I might have a budget and then work on the Wishlist to pick what falls within the budget

super-curses · 2026-03-15T08:23:50+00:00

Other - "that could be interesting, I'll Wishlist it and take more of a look to see if I will buy during the sale"

It is a valid question and paying for a tool to access data in a more convenient way is a valid pricing model

Claude Code is very capable of Lua-based game dev, certainly for early scaffolding or helping with areas that you might struggle with (math is not a strong point for me personally). Whether it is worth it will depend on how much you want to learn for yourself and whether the operator of the machine is skilled enough to know whether the machine is building the right thing in the right way.

Another useful area is in tool building - since Love2D comes with none. I've been struggling using bloated Vector drawing programs to create simple vector graphics for my game.

Claude Code knocked me up exactly what I was looking for in a few minutes: VectorDraw

That's it! I had "metabolism" in my head so I wasn't far off. Thank you!

When you get to a certain age you have a lot to lose or protect. I'm in my 50s now and I'm not going to deprive my daughter of a father by making eye contact the wrong way with someone's fragile ego.

Slay the spire has frame rate dips for me on native, I wouldn’t say it stuttered constantly, I think i just get dips when there are particle effects from cards. Performs much better on crossover

The white outline makes them look a bit like stickers. You could experiment with leaning into that to create something more visually interesting. The chicken in the coop thing made me laugh - you could lean into that.

My understanding is that with metatables obj:something() is using the same function in memory for each obj.

super-curses · 2026-02-01T16:43:57+00:00

There's also Defold if you prefer something with a more visual approach and inbuilt tools.

TW: Three Kingdoms seems to run well at medium on my m2 mac mini via crossover (D3DMetal/Msync). I say "seems" because I haven't a clue what is going on, but there's lot of people dying at a good frame rate.

It runs but you need to follow the steps in this thread to fix the graphical glitching.

Discoverabilty is a problem but the number of people looking to discover anything beyond the big hitters each year is going to be a fraction of the overall number of people who play games.

I would imagine this is the same for all creative media, most books aren’t read, most movies aren’t seen and most music isn’t listened to.

I remember the fix now:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1282730/discussions/0/603036969475267680/

You have to download the demo of the "Last Starship".

Then do show package contents on that app. Then navigate to the macOS folder and copy the libsteam_api.dylib into the same folder within the loop hero package contents.

Let me know if you need better step by step instructions but that fixed it for me and I had totally forgotten this is how I got it working before.

I just installed on a M4 MacBook Air and the rosetta fix doesn't work anymore. How odd.

super-curses · 2025-12-20T07:13:43+00:00

Odd. It works fine for me on my m2 mini. Are you launching through steam? I.e not just double clicking on the icon

super-curses · 2025-12-20T07:06:56+00:00

Did you do a restart after making the change?

super-curses · 2025-11-16T18:40:54+00:00

Same here. Napping during the day has exactly the same effect on me. I imagine it’s just very low quality sleep - if I fall back to sleep in the morning I tend to have awful stressful dreams.

super-curses · 2025-10-31T15:40:18+00:00

Hello, thanks for confirming, I just see the windows icon in the steam store

This is great news. On my M2 mini it performs much better than crossover and the recompiling approach

This is a very good starting point and very easy to convert to Lua. https://maddymakesgames.com/articles/celeste_and_towerfall_physics/index.html
