Awesome.
I’ve no idea why, but the Polish could make the 800-series sing. An entire generation of bedroom coders getting their games onto top tier labels like Zeppelin, Mastertronic etc.
Janusz Pelc springs to mind, he (she?) seemed incapable of writing a bad game, super talented.
It fills me with hope that this RM800 will do well.
Oh I like a pessimistic view - partly because it makes a discussion spicier, but also because it’s important for a user to understand the power that an instance owner wields!
Oh man, this is awesome - it’s wonderful hearing from the practitioners of the art!
I’m just trying to figure out what driver establishing the tipping point for breaking or the ban hammer - is there any empirical data to drive these decisions, or is the fediverse user base small enough that you act on “feel” or “professional instinct”?
Managing emerging technologies fascinates me so any input - including the germs you’ve already volunteered - is very much appreciated 👍
That’s a strong viewpoint and I appreciate where you’re coming from, but how many votedicks does it take to derail a post? I appreciate the fediverse is reasonably small in comparison to othe headline social media sites, but does banning one or two bots or people do enough to save posts from getting bombed?
Thamk you for the insight, instance administrator views are valuable and unique.
At the risk of sounding like I’m presenting a bad faith argument, why ban them? I don’t like the whole “free market” analogy but surely it’s one of the liberating features of federated servers, being able to to largely express your votes or content as you see fit within the legal framework of the host nation. Wouldn’t the odd one or two mass downvoters/upvoters/theyvoters ultimately be a statistical abberation or is the fediverse still small enough for this sort of shit to carry weight?
Open criticism of my view welcome, as always!
Purely a subjective opinion (and I apologise if the artist shows up in this thread) but is it me or does it look like the person who made the background took a step back after it was done, marvelled at how pretty it was, and enjoyed the moment before thinking “…fuck I forgot about O’Brien”?
It’s a great bit of artwork but poor Miles looks like an afterthought!
I thought Gun Jesus was trying to pivot to other streaming platform for his main content, and YouTube was just a bit of extra exposure while it lasts?
I haven’t been keeping up with it so I may be 12 months behind the curve.
I dunno man. I quite enjoy watching documentaries on how the bangbang sticks go bang, and how engineers overcame technical challenges.
I’m not a huge fan of Gravy Seals videos of people doing weird cover to cover movement and blatting off rounds at targets, but each to their own.
I guess I think there’s bigger problems faced by YouTube and this should be pretty far down the list.
Nightdive’s track record is stellar in fairness.
I’ve still got my PS1 copy of PO’ed and it hasn’t aged well at all. I think the world was still clamouring for new and inventive Doom-clones at the time that people were willing to forgive clunky gameplay and unbalanced weapons, but this remaster will do it a whole load of favours.
Disruptor is another mediocre game that springs to mind, but was well received because it was the best-of-the-rest in what we now know to be first person shooters. That would be a cool remaster too - perhaps even Lifeforce Tenka, or even Sentient if they were feeling brave.
Shock horror: a fucking idiot who build his persona on a foundation of being loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat turns out to be loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat.
Oh, and a nonce too.
Today: variable manip to cause the engine to read a jump to the ending
Tomorrow: TASBot codes Call of Duty remaster using jumps and damage boosts and launches it by climbing stairs [MILLY BITCHELL APPROVED] [SPEEDRUN ASMR]
In fairness, I very much doubt a chargeback would even get so far as a human.
From what I’ve seen with other companies across different continents, a chargeback triggers an automatic account ban with whichever retailer and that’s that.
Bobby Prince. Now that would be a treat.
SCE was the first edition I played, I loved playing as Bison, and I got to be made to look really silly when I went round a friend’s place to play a SNES edition and Bison wasn’t a selectable character.
Great port though.
A shitpost duel awaits.
The winner gets seven statues on all continents, each facing a finely-calibrated direction - the intersection of their gazes meet at a point where the secret to humanity is buried.
The loser gets a year using the upside-downternet, six months on ISDN, or a week on MySpace as the only communication method with the outside world.
The collective noun for the people in charge of this shithousery is “cockwombles”.
Let them fail.
It’s a disgrace really. Waterways older than the cities that sat below where the cities are today, polluted to fuck by a mix of general disregard for the environment, and shitty (literally) utility policies.
The Oxford Cambridge boat race had a similar ending this year - where competitors fell ill afterwards, and never even did the celebratory self-yeet into the river after the race because of the number of jobbies in the water.
That is however a very British view, and Thames Water have some less-than-minor problems of their own.
Intelligence is domain specific.
I need this on a plaque above my desk phone. It’s perfect.
Brilliant, thank you - that’s really interesting and appreciated.
I still remember typing JPELC at the Mission: Shark title screen to toggle cheats.
