@therealcliffyb The suit looks great tho

I have no idea what I was thinking at the time.

Voxels come with some interesting 4D-like problems. You can't just blend voxels together for the equivalent of mip mapping for 2d textures without the insides of the object becoming visible. (proof: a two voxel thick slab with a red front and a blue back. Can't downsample that!) (well ok there might be anisotropic solutions)

@havefun997 @karatademada Ok this one has me a bit convinced actually. I'm not even joking.

@notch @karatademada Tell me this isn't art. x.com/MeinGottNiles/…

Unpopular opinion: There’s a big difference between AI slop and AI art. Do people actually know how to tell the difference?

@TheOtherFrost I've lived a reasonably sheltered life. I'll try to crank the difficulty in Levers and Chests.

I WANT EVERYONE'S LIFE TO GET BETTER AND EASIER SO WE CAN GET SOME PROPER HARD GAMES! I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE MIGHT NOT WANT TO BE CHALLENGED IN A GAME AFTER BEING REAMED BY LIFE, BUT THESE COZY GAMES ARE NOT CUTTING IT AND NO WE DONT HAVE HARD GAMES. THEY'RE SPARLKING ANNOYING

@budgetzz @karatademada True, it's even worse when it's supposed to be art.

@notch @karatademada yes there is

DLSS 5 improves the lighting but I feel it also impacts the art style slightly. redd.it/1rxo8f3 #ProjectZomboid

@Jonathan_Blow He's just bragging about how he's starting to forget how to understand how the output from his tools even works.

This is such a *completely* different reality from where I live, at this point it's just difficult to say anything meaningful about it at all. x.com/sama/status/20…

@SmashJT No yeah it's shit. Technically impressive shit perhaps, but I don't want to watch vacation picture from someone else's lucd dreams Yes, that's what we sound like, but not WHY we sound like that.

@OwenGregorian @JamesSager @sjvsworldtour Skill issue. Just BE the matrix, forehead.

@JamesSager @sjvsworldtour @notch Local, open source LLMs are the way. Build your own private Matrix.

Wait, who were they focusing on before?

"You're supposed to get up now." "Aaww, just five more minutes, k?" "Okay, but it's gonna suck way more th-" "Dope! That's fine!" In retrospect, maybe I could've listened more.

dangit, now I just want to play indie dungeon crawlers all day I'll try to resist the urge. But a someone who isn't me wants to know if anyone knows about any sci-fi themed ones with keycards and teleporters and whatnot?

@0x44_ Wait now I'm curious. What was it originally written in and how rough was the rewrite? I keep claiming that making levers and chests in javascript is no biggie as we can just port it if we want to drop it on consoles, but man... i might be bluffing when I say that.

@notch Thank you! That means a lot as a little unknown guy from a giant like yourself. The dungeons are vector based like 80s games, and currently rewriting it in C.

Of course now a bunch of super interesting first person, tile based dungeon crawlers start drop I don't want to spoil my vision (nor feel inferior), but please check these out on my behalf: Dungeons of Dusk Underkeep (looks incredible) Vampire Crawlers

@TylerGlaiel It stops showing new ones once it hits 200, if that helps.

its wild that there's no way to disable incoming friend requests on steam

@notch We recently dropped the demo to our dungeon crawler Dverghold. It will have base upgrading and recruiting a la Darkest Dungeon crossed with classic blobber design, also a soundtrack by various Dungeon Synth artists store.steampowered.com/app/4216280/Dv…

@gr8_rebellion Well hello there, Direct Competition. Nah, for real though, great job dropping a demo! :) We'll get there eventually. I won't try it yet (for the same reasons as before), but consider it added to the surprisingly large pile of dungeon crawlers!

@0x44_ Oh wow, that looks good! Kind of makes me think of Phantasy Star. Oh and that camel, though.

Since I haven't played it yet, I only have first impressions to go by. The snappy movement with the Lands of Lore-esque style of "panning turning" is probably what has me the most convinced it'd like it. That, and the crawling giant in the tunnel from the teaser video on steam. That's got to be an EoB reference.

@notch @notch Underkeep in particular looks like it’s pushing the aesthetic pretty far for the genre. Do you think it’s the art direction that makes it stand out, or is there something interesting happening with the dungeon systems themselves? x.com/notch/status/5…
