  1. I really need to play the first game.
  2. Those are some crunchy textures on the chest in the first scene of the trailer.

  I agree with Todd in the sense that the jankyness is part of Oblivion’s charm. However, I believe that the jankyness only works in a game from 2007, which has weird graphics and an overall surreal vibe. The jankyness is not charming in the dark fantasy of Skyrim nor in the hyper-realistic remake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A List of Open Source Game Clones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d much rather see a standalone RPG built on OpenMW (without using Bethesda’s assets or world). I’ve recently played a bit of Project Cyrodiil – it it weren’t set in the TES universe, it could be a standalone game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slay The Princess - Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, I was a bit confused if maybe a new expansion was announced (be it DLC or update). I didn’t really read the title thoroughly, sorry.

  I’ve only played Scarlet Hollow and I liked it a lot. Glad to hear their other game is good as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slay The Princess - Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the news tab on Steam also doesn’t mention any DLC. And I’m fairly sure that the devs are hard at work on episode 5 for their other game.

  I guess it was posted here to spark a discussion about the game?

  1. Some games on Steam are DRM-free, so you don’t have to buy these games twice. You could either burn just the game files, or you could create your own setup wizard using Inno Setup or some similar software.
  2. Is a blue-ray (or optical media in general) more lasting/durable than an SD card? Archiving my games library in Switch-like jewel cases would be pretty cute.

  I have no idea how I fucked up and had this compressed so much, it’s OC and still ended up this blurry

  It’s called deep frying, and it’s cool in some circles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really enjoyed that the setting is more grounded than other games. Personally, I wouldn’t describe it as generic.

  Gameplay-wise it doesn’t do much interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chrono Trigger Remake Seemingly Confirmed By Yuji Horii⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honest question: Why would you want a remake/remaster when the original can be played almost anywhere thanks to emulators? Is it just the legal acquisition of the game, or would you want to see some improvements to the game?

  I think that the use of em-dashes specifically is a result of either the preprocessing of the training data or postprocessing of the generated text. I doubt that the material the models are trained on (i.e. Reddit) contains more em-dashes that hyphens in the position of sentence breaks.

  But it definitely gets the use of dash as sentence break from people writing like that. If you ask ChatGPT in another language, whose users don’t generally use dashes, e.g. Slovak, it won’t use then as much.

  There are dozens of us that know how to type en- and em-dashes! Dozens I say!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little weapons⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I did not know what a joint was. But I knew that miniature versions of things are cool as heck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little weapons⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would have killed for this when I was ten. Love this!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 271 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard that Shadows is one of the better Assassin’s Creeds, but 100%-ing it still sounds like hell. There’s just too much to do in Ubisoft openworlds.

  I like that the companion seems to be more talkative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Outer Worlds 2: 11 Minutes of Exclusive Gameplay – IGN First⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The first planet kinda drags on. The games gets slightly better after that. One of the DLC is quite good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leading indie game devs recommend their favourite no code game engines⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminded me of a blog post I read recently, in which the author also says that if you want to make video games and you don’t know how to program, you should start with something small and simple. (It seems obvious, but people often start making a 3D game with a branching story and multiplayer and then quickly quit because they can’t get it working.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm looking to buy something like a reverse wheelbarrow, what do I call that?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In my country we have these:

  This is a dvoukolák (lit. twowheeler). According to the internet it can carry up-to 240 kg. Dvoukoláks often have bigger wheels and they’re not collapsible.

  I looked on American Amazon and on Walmart’s website and I couldn’t find anything like it. Bike trailers seem to be closest to a dvoukolák.

  It’s the blocks! (I never felt like I could create good looking buildings using the walls-stick-to-the-floor building system that NMS and other games use.)
