I’ve always said that the worst thing that 9 did was completely destroy any excitement for Star Wars in an instant.
Prior to 9 releasing, people didn’t like 8 and were already souring on 7, but there was still discourse, people caught up on Star Wars news, people were excited for the new content.
After 9, the excitement dropped like a brick. It was the closure of a trilogy in one of the most profitable IPs in the world. There was still more content planned to come out soon iirc (the shows, and I think there was talk of more movies), so it’s not like people stopped caring due to the lack of content. Nobody I knew was interested in discussing fan theories or analyzing the movies (except to rag on them, I suppose). It was as if millions of voices cried out in terror… And were suddenly silenced.
Children of Time, not Earth! Also gets my highest recommendation.
The Rayman 3 (drug-fueled) transitions between worlds are a touch I was not expecting. Looks nice!
All the spin offs?
Are you counting the latest Puss in Boots movie? Because that one was pretty well received and I personally loved it
I’m pretty happy with the content and I haven’t seen reddit drama in a while.
I just miss video game content. All the video game communities I’m subscribed to get posts with like 2 comments maximum.
I would have assumed it was a simple image edit/photoshop job for meme purposes. That’s what it looks to me anyway.
But I’m not going to zoom in too much because, AI or not, fake or not, it’s giving me nausea!
AI will start hiding penises in its output, everybody loves it, you ushered in a new era of peace and prosperity worldwide, all peoples united by their love for hidden AI genitalia. Well done!
Play again?
Your technobabble is on point, you should be in the writers’ room!
Sounds interesting, I’ve never used copilot and I’m not a programmer by profession (I just write a few scripts here and there for data analysis or experiment control), but I’m interested in checking this out. Has anyone here tried it? I’m worried it’ll get in my way more often than it helps.
Easy. Just get an erection to force the metal back out.
I can’t wait to find this comment in my history after having forgotten the context.
Unpopular opinion warning: after playing and adoring Outer Wilds, I played Subnautica and, while it’s a fine game, I’m having trouble getting engrossed in it. I’ve never been much of a fan of survival games, though (apart from Minecraft if it counts?) and Subnautica may be my favorite in that category… But it’s still firmly in that category
I understand. I thought you had a better way of implementing the high jump with different properties, instead of just removing it altogether. To be fair, I’d remove it too and a double jump would probably be my preferred approach!
I like Mario 64’s triple jump, but I don’t think it’d be a good fit for a colectathon like this. I can’t put to words why I think it’d be different in YL, but I have a feeling that I’d get really annoyed if it asked me to use multi-jumps often to reach specific ledges. I don’t think triple jumps are ever required in Mario games, are they? I doubt YL would ever introduce a move and not flood the levels after that with obstacles that you need to use the move on to progress
Thanks for your write up! I never finished the game, it didn’t really pull me in as I expected it to. But on this topic:
My main gripe is just that they seem to have mapped controls in a retro way for nostalgia reasons and it holds the game back. Rather than triggering the moves organically through context, the left trigger is again used as a face button modifier. Jump with A, high jump with LT+A. Sonar ping with Y, Sonar explosion with LT+Y. They didn’t need to do that but at least the animations are short to trigger so it isn’t too painful.
How would you have done it? I don’t think I’m against the LT being used in this way. For instance, how would you have implemented a high jump like what they have? Or would you have removed the move entirely?
Oh, I’m sure someone is going to hate me for this, but I really liked Lua when I was making simple games in Love2D. I think it’s a shame how there’s basically no applications for Lua outside of game development and modding.
And to their employees
Finally went back to Outer Wilds for the DLC. So far I’ve enjoyed it, but my heart does beat harder than it did for the entire main game lol
What plug-ins have you installed? Do any of them make you feel like you’re having an experience that you couldn’t replicate in minecraft?
Oh no a massive time sink
(thanks! I have a lot of nostalgia for Runescape but don’t want to waste months of my life, so I’m considering getting a single player server up and running with a like 10x exp multiplier. Now to decide on 2003, 2009 or 2012…)
