follows don't mean endorsements on my account, for the record

@TolaAteThis seems like somebody punched my end crystal, lol. i knew it would be too tempting!

I bought a Minecraft server last month I was gonna do something with it. Instead here come build for a month or so before it ends. Anything goes I guess! It’s on the latest snapshot 25w45a

@maxusfox23 @NicoB7700 What game is that, and does it actually warrant that ludicrous number of routes??

@NicoB7700 As someone who's playing another game with 326 routes and only got 50 done so far... I DON'T BLAME YOU.

After 64 episodes, 36 endings, and 170 hours of game time... I'm tapping out. youtu.be/7CFH0QYvrTA

@SeoTheCabbage @BGH1217 @NywlMac @GuildWars2 when I said steam I meant using Steam's controller API. you can add GW2 as a non-steam game if you bought it through the website. That's what I did.

@SeoTheCabbage @BGH1217 @NywlMac @GuildWars2 There's a guide someone made for steam that works pretty well. I used the guide as a base and modified to to my liking, and I have no trouble with the PvE content I've done. I'd get destroyed in PVP or WvW though lol reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/c…

@Rashanoth @BloodCrisisGame People kept uploading The Brobecks' old albums that the artist doesn't want on spotify and it went on their artist page so this is definitely true

@BloodCrisisGame I believe you can use the same name as an existing artist and when you publish a song it also shows up on that existing artists account. I have seen a lot of artists' spotify get filled with AI slop same way. That or its ridiculously easy to hack accounts.

@BenjiGameDev as long as there is a health refresh before the maze so you don't just enter it and instantly die if you're on low hp, i think it can be good. many Doom maps require you to tank some damaging floor damage. if you barely survive combat only to die to the floor, that feels bad 😅

I don't count the player taking damage for narrative purposes or in cutscenes. An example would be: forcing the player to complete a maze filled with toxic gas before they run out of health and die

is it bad game design if the player is forced to take unavoidable damage?

@BenjiGameDev it depends. having something blocked off by a maximum health check can be good, like having to tank some damage to reach a new area or how you get the Master Sword in BoTW. in combat i prefer to be able to avoid damage but some genres are more about sustain ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@theogramme_dev I once had to turn the polling rate down on my mouse for a game to stop stuttering, lol. Glad to know about this other fix: that function was turned on on my PC as well, I wonder how many games I've had stuttering in because of it x_x

played for a couple of hours and so far very stable, almost no hiccups! its crazy how effective this was

@ReelAesthetica @Seinfeld2000 netflix paid over $500million for the show. always sunny and south park are a couple of the longest ongoing comedy shows in america

@Seinfeld2000 Immediately cancelled 🤣

what if seinfeld was today

@shockpine It depends on which kind you're taking for how long to notice effects. The pharmacist should be able to answer that one. Welbutrin for example can be a couple of weeks

Does anyone have any random advice for trying antidepressants? I’m going to be trying to get them soon and don’t really know what to expect and am assuming the first one I try won’t be right for me and I don’t really know how to know when one *is* right and how long to wait & etc

@lorenschmidt yeah, i don't know how they break stuff like that between OS versions. they can't leave stuff that works alone 😢

@Zeffiesmc such a mess

so excited that i figured out how to get windows to hide the taskbar again (win 11 settings > personalization > taskbar > taskbar behaviors)

@lorenschmidt Sometimes when I reboot the PC, it'll say "there's already a taskbar hidden" and that's when it breaks, and you just need to toggle it off and on again to fix it. A little annoying, but at least it's easy to fix.

@lorenschmidt Mine are about the same. The fullscreen apps thing is pretty rare but certain programs just don't work with it (DNSpy being one of them). Firefox used to be one, but it's started working properly 🤷

@cirnochild Do you have any videos of these attempts? I would love to watch a speedrun of Inferno Climber. 😊

10分強でクリア確認。 出来れば9分台出したかった。 伝説の魔人でデータを作っている関係で、最初の負けイベントで30秒遅い。 ただ、ここを縮める為だけに、最初から始めてラスボス+地獄の宝箱を取り直すのは、苦行過ぎるので諦めた。多分、頑張れば20時間くらいで出来るけど。 #InfernoClimber

死別の処刑場の3階(y座標10)への落とし穴逆走プランは再現性が確認できたので採用するけど、マップのロードの関係でショトカ時間は薄味。カマパーリーがロードされているかの検証は必要だけど、別ルートではいなかったので、多分いない。なので、デシサイズの救出用が妥当かな？ #InfernoClimber

@NashMuhandes Maybe Ravensword?

@Meridian_59 @lorenschmidt oh, neat! I hadn't done any research before posting that tweet, my bad,

@Zeffiesmc @lorenschmidt The game, run by one creator, hadn’t been updated for a long time. There’s help now. Updates are thoughtfully done. The website is new. The client has been updated to be full screen with other quality of life enhancements. Meridian59.com Have fun!

does anyone have recommended references for early open world games, especially roguelikes, RPGs, and anything procedurally generated? things i'm into: daggerfall towns, frogcomposband, ADOM, omega.

@lorenschmidt A few more screenshots I took when I tried it out. These are from the Steam version, which I've heard isn't the best, but that's all I knew existed when I played it. One of the first things you do is go through a mueseum with tons of items, all with lore descriptions! so cool

@Zeffiesmc WOW! what an aesthetic, this is great. i've not heard this one! i was late to the internet (and had a mac) so my exposure to a lot of stuff from this era is spotty or archeological.

@lorenschmidt I had really shitty internet until like 2006 so I'm the same way 😅 I only found out about it last year, when I was doing some research on early MMOs. That's also why I know a little about MUDs, but you probably know more about those by now than I do
