After all this he still hit another home run with Death Stranding. It sure didn’t seem like Guerrilla’s Decima engine was holding him back, even with the unconventional mechanics and weird visuals. But I don’t know, I wasn’t there for the development process.
the logs you’d find on a corpse in a final fantasy game
what risk?
It’s been a while but there was something in the doom 3 engine that made it pretty good at render target efficiency right? I seem to remember they were able to do mirrors well, and it was also a gimick they liked to do a lot with the computer terminals you could interact with.
They took this tech a step further with Prey (2006), which used the doom 3 engine, to make portals you could see and shoot through. I can’t remember if the portals were dynamic though.
Specifically Portal 2 actually. Since it was designed with console players in mind, all of the puzzles can be solved without having to shoot on the move.
even if the games suck they can still be an important social connection
my parents never let me watch any of the “bad” tv that all the other kids were watching and this made it even harder for me to connect and make friends
and it also meant I never got the opportunity to decide to understand and experience for myself why these shows were bad
same can probably be said for the shitty mobile games tbh
maybe they’re more predatory than all that advertising directed at kids via tv back in my day but idk by how much really if you’re actively teaching your kids about what predatory practices look like
they have to learn, better for them to understand how to fight this stuff when they’re younger rather than when they get in over their heads gambling on counterstrike skins as teenagers
In the good timeline, multiple governments and international organizations launch peertube servers.
Probably not this timeline though.
we all know how important it is to keep a sustained high rate of fire with these things
more takka if you will

they might crater the economy so badly that it wipes out a ton of carbon use and buys the rest of the world some more time (albeit probably along with millions of people starving to death, akin to Mao’s famine)
what about quebec french?
At absolute best Canada will be a territory, but that will still be “bad” since it means that people born here will be US citizens and have freedom of movement. Much more likely that we’ll end up with an Israel-Palestine type scenario where they just gradually violently displace Canadians off of any resources they want, starve us literally and economically with embargos, assassinate any non-extremist political leadership, and enslave us
When you consider that a major feature for the PS5 was a highly optimized I/O controller for a very fast SSD, I have no faith whatsoever that we’ll be seeing SD cards as a viable game storage mechanism. Unfortunately.
Truly one of the best games ever, especially in the context of when it came out. Perfect timing of the well-executed slowmo gunplay mechanics right as the matrix popularized bullet time. Story and storytelling way better than they had any right to be. Really good pacing and length. Acts broken up by genre-bending dream sequences. Great voice acting.
I think the graphics might have been the only thing about this game that wasn’t ahead of its time. They still got the job done though.
Hopefully this game gets a remake as faithful as Demons’s Souls.
I coincidentally played it during covid lockdown and the thematic connections to the moment were really special. Bird flu is coming, maybe wait for the next pandemic lockdowns and try it then?
minecraft and rimworld too
