It's a pretty shit idea.

The screaming rifts take hours to dissipate, you don't have that time to wait them out. The rifts distort your view, what you hear from the environment. Worst, they absorb your guns' fire, so you can't just fire blindly. And even if you could, would you just be cornering yourself more?

Targets hit by it will become a distorted blackened rift mark in reality that slowly fades. As it does this, the now victim is screaming in pain as they are torn apart slowly from reality. This rift is positioned around you relative to where you killed them. It is screaming in pain, it blocks your view. You hear the screaming at its fullest, enemies won't. But the sound enemies hear increases exponentially with the amount of rifts around you.

Possibly cursed stealth game idea.
You have to do good stealth, if an enemy detects you, they will then follow you relentlessly, they always know where you are.
You're only defence at that point is a gun. Its effective range is at best slightly extended melee.
It's an expiremental gun, that was supposed to disintegrate the target. Which it does, but not as expected.

Planning some shopping, and even serving suggestion images for a simple pasta dish are AI generated.

So tired of this bullshittery.

If I buy the product, have I gone slopping?

@clintruin @glutto @mattsheffield I'm fine with Austin Powers style fembots removing them from the gene pool at the moment.

@afreytes@mastodon.gamedev.place I don't need it, but my country sure needs an equivalent.

Finally continuing playing Thief (2014).

It's not terrible, but it definitely fails as a Thief game.

It has some horrendous design decisions.

I get it was unreal and for consoles , but constant area transitions are beyond painful if the platform doesn't require it.

You have to be quick, so why do I stare at a collectible for 30 seconds before I can close the safe? Oh yeah, forced discovery and evasion.

Similar with chests, closing or peeking takes priority over selecting the loot.

Waiting for Blender to show how corporate they really are.

- Rolling back the announcement
- Waiting a little time
- Weird little untraceable shell companies suddenly appearing as smaller donors

I'd like to be wrong, but given their apparent surprise at the reaction to them accepting blood money from Anthropic, I may actually be a broken clock that's right occasionally.

Sometimes I am so resentful and angry for what I am. The hatred and disappointment for the depression that has sucked so much out of me and my life and denied so much of what I could have been.

But then I see the racist cancer a lot of my generation have become.

I don't know if it saved me, but it certainly shaped me, and probably prevented me from becoming that.

It's such a bittersweet pill to understand, but I would swallow it everyday to not be one of them.

Though about doing something.

But after checking in my box, it has runneth dry of energy and fucks to give about anything.

Maybe tomorrow.

@tully @boogah Thank you.

@afreytes@mastodon.gamedev.place it always sounds like a character from Alice in Wonderland to me, "the lackadaisical tilted it's head and whimsically pondered the existence of Alice being here at this precise time."

@boogah Have you got a link or screenshot that shows this? ( Not that substack isn't well known for it's bootlicking content ) It's handy to have a badge to show like an antifa FBI fairy to the naysayers when confronted, because they can't direct their own eyes to the truth. Unless we drug and tattoo it on Tate's peanuts, but that's unethical apparently.

@CatsOfYore "I asked for a box, what is this sweaty hair filled cylinder of misery?"

@JoshJers@mastodon.gamedev.place Somethings tells me everything dries up like a desert when she approaches. No mold. But I hope the sand scratches like a horny cats claws.

@JoshJers@mastodon.gamedev.place Agree with 1 and 2. 3... No, just launch them into deep space. They don't deserve any kind of fucking.

@sashabilton@mastodon.gamedev.place I like the shocked disappointed expression of the T-Rex, that upon catching up with the prey, it is in fact a skeleton that contains no meat.
