The criticism about mixtape “not really being a game” gives it too much credit, that wouldn’t bother me if the writing was any good. Lines like “im ready to ride the flaming stallion of delinquency” are something only a 37 year old says.

@DJZeeJay @msnofficial_on not worth it really, for me

@badalias_ @msnofficial_on Bloatware is mainly from the cellular companies. You buy a Google Pixel for example or stock phones from the manufacturers directly and it won't contain any bloatware

i know there's plenty of moments with player input, i don't wish to misrepresent the game. the promo levels for this game are suspiciously large for a game like this though, i wonder what's going on....

the only odd thing about the game are the moments where player input is completely inconsequential. even basic interactivity is a must. otherwise, the player's connection to the game is severed & it becomes a movie, which isnt bad at all, but it should be regarded as one

watching the mixtape discourse unfold knowing i made a game with no win/lose conditions or challenge of any kind

@aajshanibar @MaxBlazeCky @NarcisoFur @msnofficial_on i haven;t ever done direct wired transfers so that sounds like something the should improve on. apple really loves their proprietary filing systems for some reason

@MaxBlazeCky @badalias_ @NarcisoFur @msnofficial_on guess i must have hallucinated all the times i moved photos and files to/from usb drives, ssds, and memory cards using an iphone’s usb port.

@MaxBlazeCky @NarcisoFur @msnofficial_on i just use the cloud folder & google drive to move files, ive never really ran into any walls trying to do anything normal. android offers more flexibility, but it's restricting more each year, and stability/reliability isn't rlly improving to make up for that.

@badalias_ @NarcisoFur @msnofficial_on With ios you cant transfer ordinary media to another phone that's not ios unless you jailbreak your ios and install third party packages. Android has 30% more freedom than ios. That's the fact, never 5%. Android over ios anytime anyday. Macbook over windows pc anyday anytime

@NarcisoFur @msnofficial_on I know, I spent a few days trying to do so, but my specific phone model blocked all my attempts & my computer refused to recognize it properly lol. iOS lets you delete everything except for the camera, settings & store app. the only thing i miss about android is youtube vanced

@badalias_ @msnofficial_on You can delete Facebook or Google on Android with adb commands

@msnofficial_on i wasn't a fan of having to update my photos app and camera app every 10 days. it would be nice if there was an android variant that was hardware optimized and clean. if the "it just works" experience can be done on android i'd love to see that

@msnofficial_on android really used to be better, but now iOS has caught up to it, but it also functions 50x better on hardware since its actually optimized for it. on android now, you get 5% more freedom, an unoptimized OS, bloatware & you can't delete facebook or google

@himbo_chico the weird gender association with "diet" is entirely coke's fault tho. they were really loudly targeting women hard with diet soda marketing in the early days, and the cultural effect is still lasting. still glad it exists tho, i think the flavor of diet coke sucks

@himbo_chico i think its cause diet coke is a completely different flavor and ppl wanted the regular coke taste but without corn syrup in it

one of the most annoying things i learned was that coke zero was created & branded a certain way because coca-cola realized men werent buying diet coke because they considered it a “girls drink”. products like these are created largely because men are stupid, fragile, and sexist.

@bellbearinghunt yeah there really are only 2 or 3 good-looking spots where there was a hand-crafted view. the rest of the game looks pretty terrible, because they originally relied on a much better lighting engine that was later removed, so 80% of the game looks flat & PS2 without it

@BigJuicyMikans @k1z4cz3k_ @ResidentEvil this isn't supposed to be an adaptation. it's a new resident evil movie, in the same way that a new resident evil game isn't an adaptation of the previous ones. if we can trust new developers to make new RE games, then we can trust new filmmakers to make a new RE movie.

@k1z4cz3k_ @ResidentEvil Because the movie is called Resident Evil. It would make sense for the movie you're making to be like the source material you're adapting, don't you think?

𝙰 𝚗𝚎𝚠 𝚎𝚛𝚊 𝚘𝚏 𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚕. From the mind of Zach Cregger, director of Weapons and Barbarian. Watch the new teaser trailer for Resident Evil. Filmed for IMAX – in theatres 9.18.

@ResidentEvil il so glad this isnt a retelling or adaptation of any specific game. i want new ideas with new freaky shit, this is exactly what i have always wanted from an RE movie

@Bosslogic they would never make that today tho because graphics are now so advanced that the violence would be too realistic & unsettling.

@Bosslogic They basically did do that, Superman Returns on PS2 lets you do crazy shit to the city & to innocent people. They let you drop civillians 2,000ft in the air, you can burn em, freeze em, throw cars at them... It's really fucked up & ridiculous but fun lol

Because 5 minutes in it becomes a Homelander game
