wondering what the pluribus hivemind's storage partitioning looks like. Does it maintain every person on earth's memories or are people that carol would never meet just being overwritten as databases for food inventory

JJK S3 preview is very good. Pulls a lot of interesting ideas from exposition-heavy material (the will reading scene with the swaying ceiling light is cool). Lots of clever uses of 3DCG, I really liked the bridge sequence. Giggling and clapping whenever Gosso does a weird fisheye shot.

I see a lot of game developers grumble about how "metroidvania" or "roguelike" are bad genre descriptors, but I feel like "wizardrylike" would be a way more coherent descriptor for games with character sheets and turn-based combat than "role playing game".

Doom is a JRPG
1. a simplified highly derived form of ultima and wizardry
2. damage calculations and enemy behaviours are all determined by dice rolls
3. a straightforward power progression structure over complex character building

Did the lab rats in Pluribus get their own hive mind or does everybody on earth have a dozen rodents squeaking in their heads

Started watching Prehistoric Planet. Very impressive CGI creatures, but it's a kinda lousy documentary. If you have Attenborough narrating an animation of a pack of T Rex swimming in the ocean you should follow it up with 10 minutes of Paleontologists explaining their reasoning for it.

Game developers need to stop making 3D platformers with twin stick controllers in mind. Video game genre entirely about lining up your camera and then holding forward + jump and the "normal" input for them is the one where you need to wait for the camera to point the direction you want.

wondering what the maximum number of unique debuffs can be applied to a player in Deadlock is. It's gotta be at least 15

Played the 500 Caliber Contractz demo. Weird game. There's barely anything resembling level design, just a big pile of concrete with some places to go. Pressing any 2 buttons is guaranteed to send you flying forward. Maybe the most pure expressive platformer I've played? I kinda respect it.

Deadlock's big character update is good. Feels like there's a good distribution of new player-friendly characters and more gimmicky ones like Doorman. I'm not a MOBA player so it's interesting to compare what abilities can do compared to hero shooters- I like how Victor's ultimate is a passive.

Playing Lorn's Lure. Frustrating. Levels avoid explicit obstacles like spikes in favor of making any fall greater than 20 feet instantly kill you. Many intended falls are around 18 feet, so a lot of this game involves repeatedly breaking your ankles until you have a sense of where the obstacles are.

Deadlock's map design is weird. Across the middle it's fine (lane phase, midboss, bridge power-ups) but the rest is confusing.
- Walker choke points cause spam-heavy fights.
- Rooftops are too high for normal shooter high ground, they're only useful for movement.

Kinda funny playing Yellow Taxi and seeing Atari announce a new Bubsy 3D that *doesn't* use tank controls. No ingenuity! No whimsy!
Played Yellow Taxi Go Vroom. Good! The movement is great- tank controls are unique, launching myself off of ramps is a lot of fun. Level design's kinda hit-or-miss, there's a lot of gimmicks that don't complement the fast-paced movement.

Poking at Deadlock again. I'm able to pull my weight in matches now, but I'm still not convinced the moba elements contribute much to the game. Sliding into boxes is kinda fun.

Been loosely following the development of the "Jai" language. J Blow markets it as a "gamedev language" but the main selling points are "no garbage collection" and "run code during compilation" which don't seem remotely useful to me. His first game in the language is a block-pushing game.
