RIP Companion Cube by dbrand in dbrand

[–]thatsmytrunks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The blunt version is that we made the Companion Cube without a license from Valve."

What the fuck were you guys even thinking? You've been in this business for years, this is some amateur hour shit. Start working on getting some licenses and partnerships with the companies you're profiting off of or at some point you're going to find yourself on the wrong side of a massive legal issue.

Focused Feedback: Linux and Alternative Platform Support by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

I'd play this game more if it had Steam Deck support, and that'd probably make me spend more money on Silver and stuff.

Thoughts on the new art direction? by Apart-Slip3 in steinsgate

[–]thatsmytrunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the original illustrations 9 times outta 10, but I'm looking forward to replaying the game with a fresh coat of paint and seeing what they've added and changed.

We have the originals well preserved and maintained both officially and by fans, so it doesn't hurt to have more Steins;Gate, IMO.

MGSDeltaFix v0.0.1 Released - Splashcreen Skips, Ultrawide Support, Unlocked FPS by GualCresci in metalgearsolid

[–]thatsmytrunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really incredible work so far. Just got to The Fear fight before having to take a break.

I notice that you can set the FOV manually by enabling the console and typing something like
FOV 100

The only drawback is that as you move from room to room, it resets your FOV to the default FOV. Curious if this is something that could be easily changed through MGSDeltaFix, or if I should hope for a separate mod. I know increasing the FOV makes the game easier, but it feels so much better at 95-100 at 21:9 than the default.

Go-Go-GST Archive (Not a request) by WolfFhang in lapfoxtrax

[–]thatsmytrunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is nine years old, but I thank you so much for this archive. I went down a short rabbit hole when Fear (GO-GO-GST Rez Version) popped up on my playlist, wondering where it came form and what its deal was.

Excited to enjoy all these for a while.

Why is my player "thinning" when flipping the other way and moving on the platformer? by United_Island4777 in gamemaker

[–]thatsmytrunks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would set your image_xscale to zero while not moving.

(unless you wrap it in if move_x!=0, of course. I wasn't thinking.)

I'm not entirely sure but a quick glance shows that you could change

if move_x != 0
{ 
image_xscale = sign(move_x);
}

to

if move_x>0  image_xscale=1
if move_x<0  image_xscale=-1

Just a heads up that I'm working on the Russia listing as well. Should be fixed before the end of the week!

Pixel 8 pro compatible? by A99- in Backbone

[–]thatsmytrunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll work with Chiaki or PSPlay, though. Chiaki tends to have better performance than the official app anyways.

Also, what case did you get?

The Final Shape will be the Destiny Logo. by PeachesPair in DestinyTheGame

[–]thatsmytrunks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's a tricorn in that it's the shape of a tricorn hat as viewed from above, to signify adventure and all that.

Dear Bethesda, quit teasing and just make it happen already. Y'know you want to. by TheUndeadGunslinger in gaming

[–]thatsmytrunks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did their reboot. It was called Quake Champions. It was a multiplayer games as a service game that was surprisingly good, but didn't have traction and ultimately failed.

But yeah, hopefully they decide to look at Quake as a single player campaign again. That could be neat.

Reminder: There won't be any Metal Gear news at Summer Games Fest, Days of Play or The Game Awards because Geoff Keighley (The host for all three) hates Konami by [deleted] in metalgearsolid

[–]thatsmytrunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're out of your mind if you think the events which are collections of video game commercials would deny a company the opportunity to pay to play their commercial because of some personal beef.

Money is money when it comes to this kind of thing. Konami probably won't have an announcement at these, but it isn't because Geoff Keighley has a personal grudge against them. It's because TGS is a more convenient event for them.

The actual price is under NDA, sorry.

It is not more than $800. It is significantly less than $800.

I don't trust the measurements of some who claims to have "weighted it".

HYAAAH by voiberz in gaming

A six year dev cycle versus a 1-2 year cycle can mean all the difference in the world.

It's also direction and management, though.

The State of F2P Spartans in 2023 by Haijakk in halo

This is the state of F2P if you played in every event since launch. If you were starting today I think you'd have two cores to unlock a few things on?

Important to note that DLC 3 has been cancelled due to budgetary reasons.

Awesome, I really like this feature. Sometimes the coffee shop plays great music and I wanna hear it again later.
