Something I hope the @hytale.bsky.social devs address: Gamma slider.
A friend I play alongside can sail through most caves because he sees things I don't.
It's not my eyes, it's my TV. Even in Monitor mode, it has a super-dark low-end.
Photos don't work, because phone cams invert the gamma curve.

That @hytale.bsky.social has progression gated by tier upgrades on workbenches, with the upgrades requiring resources that require the specific tier you're about to unlock, to unlock, to encourage exploration, is so genius I'm not convinved Hypixel's designers aren't space aliens from the future.

First customizable worldgen, now rabbits. Lowkey feels like Microsoft are trying to gradually erase the history of my involvement with Minecraft.
If they could get rid of mutton, stained glass, wood-specific doors, craftable cracked stone brick, and block models as resource packs, I bet they would.

As a fmr. Minecraft dev - dude who added mutton, stained glass, worldgen customization (RIP), & rabbits (upcoming new anims and models, RIP), the folks behind @hytale.bsky.social have made something really fucking special.
I haven't felt like this since 2010, when I discovered Minecraft. Kick. Ass.

Rumor is, Steve Ogg has regrets about being typecast as Trevor, from GTA V.
My perspective? You can't make that call.
We all have our sins that we'd prefer not to be typecast by.
I'm an aspiring VA, every job I've ever hard, my colleagues ask if I've considered a VA role. Yeah. I fucking have.

TBH it was seeing the sheer number of people who genuinely do *not* get it when it comes to the rhetoric in Helldivers 2, so I felt like giving the hornet's nest a good ol' poke by turning the character-customization menu gender-agnostic.
Somehow this completely failed to piss off most fascists.

Folks're discussing the best furry partners for 2025, but with the ongoing DLC updates to Helldivers 2, Terminid queens deserve an honourable mention.
Advantages:
- Great mom
- Defensive of young
- Prolly feeds kids better than most folks nowadays
- Oviposition
Disadvantages:
- Possible evisceration

Can I just say that it is deeply annoying to be so 'in' with old game studios that've sold out that it becomes annoying to interact with folks who actually have a decent about of histoircal panache

What's it going to take for @timsweeneyepic.bsky.social and other Epic folks to go chat with @macaulayculkin.bsky.social about gitting him - adult him - into Fort-something? It's the holidays, dammit. Best possible time for folks to be the chaos that exists within them.

This is your reminder that while Final Fantasy VII Rebirth moogles may look like a muppet fucked a shut-in WoW player's cum-sock, they are NOT off-model, because for there to be an off-model moogle, one would have to be on-model.
And moogles have changed appearance with literally every game.

Insert 20-page essay about the late H.R. Giger's designs for the Alien xenomorph and facehugger were rather explicitly intended to be overtly sexual in nature, so this is not even slightly unrealistic when you get right down to it

I'm presently trying to emulate the Nikko digiBLAST media/gaming handheld.
It runs Linux on a 180MHz ARM system-on-a-chip, and its controls work via an OHCI USB host, so I need to emulate a USB host.
It is proof beyond denial that there is indeed a God, and he is vengeful and angry at our hubris.

God help me if I ever hit Sandy's level of big-fish-ing past glories.
I just *can't* overblow past work.
Yeah, I added rabbits to Minecraft; my texture work sucked and the AI sucked, thank god other folks helped.
Meh, I made Helldivers 2's armory gender-agnostic, and did some other UI shit.

Does anyone have a link to any particular streamer or YouTuber who opted to play through the Order of Giants DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and actually did so from the initial start-point of the game? Everything I've found just has folks continuing from Vatican.

There's something universally correct when it comes to Charlie voicing the one furry in the whole trailer for that thing.

The whole situation is fucked, top to bottom, and it's not something that innocuous porn enthusiasts should have to deal with.
That said, records exist, and I would highly encourage anyone who was once part of the Patreon patronage for this project to throw a bit extra into the ring, directly.
