This post's really funny but I think if we're being real the awesome part of gamedev is that it didn't kill my fun, it just made everything more extreme. Bad design is like nails on a chalkboard while great smart design is BLISS

It's so funny how long companies have been trying to sell the '.... control computers... but with your voice' thing, which mostly seems to be a fantasy that seems to exist because it was the easiest way to present computers in sci-fi stories.

at some point I really think there needs to be some sort of large scale pushback on Valve for their complete abdication of responsibility in moderating steam forums to every individual developer regardless of whether or not they asked for it, allowing this tumour to completely fester.

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

anyways, the article mentions a source saying that israel is planning on moving to amazon's cloud servers, so keep that in the back of your mind: it might be a good idea to mentally prepare for a potential future amazon boycott.

Also the demo's up for Alabaster Dawn! The follow-up (not a sequel, but very mechanically similar) to the fantastic Crosscode.
High-powered, high-speed ARPG. Like Zelda, Ys and Terranigma thrown into a blender. Big puzzles, big numbers, big combat.
It moves SO GOOD. 'Kinetic' is an understatement.

i hate roll iframes. i worked so hard to get my enrage meter to 100% so that i could screen nuke you and end the fight, and you are just going to jump funny and tuck your head and you're safe? this is incredibly disrespectful to me, the hard-working last boss just trying to put food on the table
And also these fundamentals are not OLD GAME fundamentals, they are in ALL THESE GAMES. They are still implemented into designs. But yeah, the "first order" strategies of just ROLLIN' handles so much stuff, that stuff outside it is now seen as "cheap and unfair".
The way modern games design defensive mechanics is why there’s been a huge pushback in circles against heavy I-frames/parrying cause they condition players to forget fundamentals older games taught the player.
