It’s obviously a bit, the punchline is delivered perfectly.

It is a bit

But the person is real

Games are just emulating slot machines. That’s fine sometimes, I enjoy RNG stuff being exposed and making number crunching flashy occasionally, but it’s kinda weak design when the themes of your game allow for you to mask that stuff behind character design instead of just copy and pasting assets and changing the values

Wasn’t he also in Nioh and the inspiration for Afro Samurai? Absolute babies

If you’re gonna have leveled enemies in an action game, the best way to do it is to make them visually different from regular goons and give them something like more armor, or a helmet, or a bigger weapon that’s immune to regular parry.

Do your leveling by gating areas with enemy types that require you to either master the combat or unlock a weapon through story progression that trivializes them.

This actually looks really cool. Like Helldivers and Death Stranding had a baby

My favorite part of BG3 is how when you make a big decision that has immediate consequences, the game just stops for a second as if it was a DM thinking about what to do next.

I knew it was rough at Current Affairs after the boycott, but I didn’t know Nathan ended this low having to sell lemonade to pay the bills.

When you have a small dev team who also play tests, they’re easy to debug too because all the content can be reached within 30 minutes to an hour.

They used to have a static html request form on their website that just added your info to a consultation database. When I was a kid I wrote a script that took a home address and generated random names and did hundreds of requests for one person

Yeah, and if you’re going for no death then it’s not really an issue. It’s just impossible if you let your engineers loaf around early game when stockpiling and hitting those tier 1 upgrades are critical.

Eventually, but from the first second of the game, sending in engineers to the mines and maximizing the first circle (if you cheese it you can get everyone housed on the lowest tier on day one) are critical to a no death run.

Also never hitting the overtime button is a requirement for no death, so you really have to work the engineers early on to prevent that one story death.

My local one always has a Dunkle, a Heffe, and a Swartzbier on tap. Kinda sucks is military themed, but the bartender loves China and is super chill so it’s a wash

Out here the best breweries to authentic German style beer or cider. Everyone else has forgettable variations of the same citra recipe.

That’s actually not the point of the video, he actually talks about the fringes of the illusion and how you can tell that the designers put care into it while also finding that exact point where the illusion breaks down.

Like the Skyrim one where he follows all the streams to their source and finds tons of believable well placed lakes and mountain streams then finally hits the edge where there’s a magical outflow that goes down two paths (to give the player 2 upstream paths to get to that location)

Appalachia is good too, Asheville/Brevard are right in the mountains and like 10 minutes from Pisgah Forest, DuPont Forest, the AT, the Mountain to Sea, and Art Loeb.

All those trails are more forest heavy and the traversal isn’t that bad. I know people who will just go out for a week and come back.

Oh shit, I didn’t know this show was the origin of the Nickelodeon green slime.

Planet of the Assassins

Some of the best sources are actually the ones with clear ideological bents because you can filter the whole story knowing where they’re coming from.

Most of the sources used by communist theorists are capitalist rags (Economist has been around for well over a century and has a very clear bias) and industrial magazines (banking, mining, light industry) to understand the positions of the bourgeoisie and then direct interviews and union meeting minutes to understand the positions of the workers.

It’s shopped, the link is for an unrelated ign article lol.

Also the checkmark is fake

Nazis complain about Wolfenstein being woke, so they’re doing a bit to mock them
