brokenphilip 💡

from a simple NFS Carbon trainer in 2023, to a complete game modding framework in 2026, i have spent hundreds of hours working on my biggest project ever in this video, i showcase the development of BulbToys from its anniversary in 2024 up until today youtu.be/fdyN-xyR0ss

Mojang just fixed a 14 year old bug, MC-4, the FOURTH bug report ever on the bug tracker, was reported way back in 2012 🤯

@lolspacey kinda? i think so yeah, in a way at least i feel like i'll lose my train of thought if i talk slowly and i'm not used to it so it's definitely at least *part* of the problem lol i managed to minimize the effects of stuttering as the years went by but it still gets me sometimes

@brokenphilip it's hard to describe but when you're talking to someone irl/on a vc does it feel like your mouth goes faster than your brain? especially if its something you care about it happens to me aswell, mix in some stuttering/stammering and yeah its not fun

i hate how i tend to overexplain things a lot to the point where the other person thinks that i consider them stupid when in reality i'm the one that is stupid and usually way too slow to understand things so i dumb them down for myself because it helps me explain them better

I can’t believe it’s really Wed Mar 1 16:49:40 2023

it sucks! :3

i also often don't think i explain things very well, especially irl (compared to text), which often confuses people resulting in me trying to find ways to explain it better but it often comes across as me overexplaining and dumbing things down as if they're stupid but they're not

@x86kitty i was never really into the game that much but maybe i will at some point :3 idk i'll see :steamhappy:

@brokenphilip you should try tf2 (titanfall 2) btw

i'm beginning to show symptoms of withdrawal.. as much as i would've loved to reach 100 headshot kills on pyro, it's way out of reach in this lifetime (i only have 62) i recently got into axtinguishing though, it was quite fun and i would've loved to up my strange axe's numbers

@lolspacey it's getting pretty rare, but there are a few companies that still add microsd card slots to their phones :3

@brokenphilip i wonder if they even make phones with microsd card slots nowadays i'm planning to upgrade my pixel 6a in the next few months because it feels so slow this is a reminder to myself to research for phones that have a decent camera and a microsd card slot

what's your problem man i updated all my apps like 3 days ago 💔💔💔

@lolspacey i've been on 126-127 out of 128 for the longest time lol thankfully my phone still has a microsd card slot and i recently bought a 256 gig one to move my files to :3

@brokenphilip *gulp* i should get a phone that allows me to expand the storage lol

@lolspacey i wouldn't even mind it if i wasn't struggling with storage for the past few years </3 they update these like every single day, it's insane :3

@brokenphilip feels like no matter how much I update my apps manually they just keep piling up

@Daniele_Fracci if you were to ask me i'd probably queue for the featured maps if they gave more XP - i like variety and i also like casually grinding my casual level so it would be a win-win to me :3 i'd assume there would be more people like me out there, prooobably not that many though sadly

@brokenphilip But casual i really dont know because all it can give is maybe more xp? But i dont think people care about that enough to queue, only thing that may entice players could be extra drops but that woud just spawn a billion idle bots

@Daniele_Fracci interestingly, people don't leave emptier matches once there's an incentive like a merasmission contract for a specific map i like the charm of getting to play all the halloween maps at least once, but a rotation of maps that give more points is an interesting idea :3

@brokenphilip I feel like there needs to be a sorta of incentive for players, like for halloween i think they need to discard the contracts per map with a single one that repeats X amounts of times and have a rotation every day of maps that give extra points for playing

@Daniele_Fracci i'm still against removing content, but i think it will be a necessary evil to implement some sort of regular map rotation to the casual pool, to hopefully battle the player scarcity and funnel more players into "less" servers although your point about 24/7 servers still stands

@Daniele_Fracci changing the amount of required players to start a match from 12 to the 18-24 range would be a great start - the biggest problem right now is people getting put in a DOA match and leaving instantly although there will have to be more changes and sacrifices for long-term benefit

@Daniele_Fracci to me personally? not even close tbh it used to be pretty bad a couple weeks ago when the "Auto Lobby Fucker" was released, but there have been recent (un)developments in the skid community that drastically lowered their impact on the game also, there are private servers now :3

@brokenphilip Isn't garden warfare 2 even more unplayable? Like i know people can hack your account and get you banned

no wonder i've been playing garden warfare 2 a lot lately - it fills the class-based-shooter-shaped hole in my heart that tf2 left behind the classes are less "distinct" and some mechanics can be annoying, but it's really refreshing and the grind's been nothing short of fun :3

burnout is also a contributing factor, having to requeue SO many times to find ONE playable lobby is (was) exhausting and since i don't have much time to play videogames nowadays, i've also gotten really rusty, which makes it difficult to keep up with the rest of the playerbase
