- Comment on Why did in game cameras take so long to get good?🤔 1 day ago:
That sounds exactly like Amnesia. There are no HUD elements, health is buried in your inventory. Sanity is displayed by obscured vision and hallucinations. The only real options you have to beat a creature that spots you is to hide and hope it didn’t see which way you went. It’s quite slow paced and reading/listening to the notes provides the narrative along with puzzle hints. There are no weapons, but by being clever you can avoid a monster or block a door long enough to escape. It is rather “western” styled though, but more along the lines of HP Lovecraft than a Hollywood zombie movie or Deadspace for example. There are some jumpscares but they are absolutely terrifying only because of what lurks around the corner, a creature you hope to never get a good look at. I do recommend it.

Curious on your opinion on Amnesia The Dark Descent. Especially if you played it near it’s release. I think a good first person survival horror can exist without any combat at all. I suppose there’s that Alien game with similar gameplay that was a little more mainstream as well.
I think a fixed camera can make it feel cinematic, but a player controlled camera wins for immersion.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 2 days ago:
I think a slightly more insidious side to targeting ads is that even when they have the “right” product for you, it’s the shitier and overpriced one. The one that spent money on marketing instead of quality.

There were also fixed camera games with some horrible designs. Resident Evil was one that I remember. There’s tradeoffs for developers. Fixed camera means you can make it look better having to only worry about one perspective and you could bake-in a lot more fidelity. A movable camera in a tight space is complex to design around and even modern games have issues in tight spaces. Back then, nearly every game was in tight spaces.

[He said] we are very selfish and we care a lot about ourselves as individuals, and that therapy and yoga and stuff like that is not good for the world. We should not care so much about ourselves and care more about the world.”
This guy has such a massive ego that he fears introspection. So much of his shit is projection that he’ll never realise.
- Comment on How does the Chinese government even work 5 days ago:
The most glaring issue with their healthcare or other benefits is that the decision to have those things at all comes down to one party or even one man. That means there is nothing at all stopping those things from being taken away on a whim.

New threat, same as the old threat. It’s the BBB, Yelp thing. Always has been. I bet newspapers in the olden-days did the same.

It’s the same tech. It would have to be bigger or chew through “reasoning” tokens to beat benchmarks. So yeah, of course it is.

The sub headline from that same article. The word “extortion”. You get that?
- Comment on Do gangs that collect protection money actually do any protecting? 5 weeks ago:
It’s rampant in my city. They shoot out the windows of your business at night. Only certain businesses get targeted and the media hardly reports any of it. But, here’s an example of one that made the news 2nd arrest made in alleged shootings at GTA movie theatres
There was a similar shooting at a business a few addresses down from my work last week.

Cloueuse pneumatique

I don’t think any of those things are referred to as a gun in French. Just essentially “stapler”, “nailer”, “gluer”, ect

Ten times ten thousand pairs of opposite reflected extensions of you are doing the same thing - throwing the ball away from themselves toward their opposites and away from themselves, each one of each pair being the reverse of its opposite, and acting in reverse. YOU NOW KNOW WHAT THE ELECTRIC CURRENT IS, and that should tell you what RADAR is. Likewise it explains RADIO and TELEVISION.

There were some of the lead developers still left. But I completely agree. What I liked most about subnautica was all changed even before release. I wasn’t even going to look at the sequel.

The issue most likely seemed to me to be just that plus the fact that the google service would never retry on SMS when switched back to SMS. So your message wouldn’t be sent until the recipient had a WiFi connection. Ridiculous implementation.

Had some android phones that wouldn’t even notify you if your message didn’t send for like 45 minutes.
