two angle grinders. one with an aluminum cutter and the other with a steel cutter. You can get into basically anything with that combo. cut off the hinges or around the rack locks and just take stuff you didn’t spray with metal dust.

NO. Don’t do it. Ban more things. Cut off all exports to the states.

Honestly most of them are more like disproof of concept, and the current one is VR and my headset doesn’t even support HDR. The current one, if I ever find time to finish it, is an attempt to translate control inputs to high dexterity movements that I can do in real life, but any gamer wouldn’t even think to try because even the most insane devs wouldn’t make controls and animations for. Some simple sounding like grabbing a quest item or pulling a lever without letting go of a sword, and some a bit more unhinged like reloading a bolt action rifle in your left hand without dropping the one in your right. Larger objects that can’t convincingly be held together with something else could be tucked under your arm, etc. Past things are mostly just playing with shaders and other visuals that never came close to the image in my mind.

If the business I’m starting doesn’t fail and makes enough money that I can implement the planned ‘down the line’ automations then I’ll finally have time and a bit of financial freedom to actually work on it. Currently its kind of just my de-stress beer and godot moments after dealing with the legal nonsense. It is so damned unreasonable to start a business if you aren’t already rich. I’m only getting by because I accounted for running out of money and moved back to my parents place in advance. One of the parters did the same.

damn now I can make my shitty proof of concepts that I never share out of embarrassment with HDR

we can never win. it’s simply not allowed

Oh. that drake…

Fairytale monsters aren’t always inherently evil, and even when they are if you kill them you are a hero. This is some above and beyond shit and too many people just brush it off with mentally deficient lines like “I’m not convinced that’s real”, and when presented with any evidence, “well, I don’t know what to believe”

I wanted to like it. I really wanted it to resolve all of my issues with botw and allow me to forgive the unresolvable ones.

I put hours in and all I get is the feeling of putting 80 bucks in a single pull on slot machine that takes several days or weeks to show that I lost it all, but I watched a couple of cool video clips while it was spinning.

if it wasn’t clear, the cool video clips represent the parts of the game that I liked.

This made all the hairs on my arms stand up just like seeing it happen IRL does.

I commute by bike with a respirator, but sometimes I sleep in and have to rush out during the time kids are going to school and in the old days they would shout stuff like “nice bike bane!” and now I don’t even have a clue what they are saying. I don’t understand the references or slang and it’s not just white and asian kids pretending to be black any more. My headcanon is that they are cluelessly breathing all this shit in and its making them stupid.

I’m pretty sure my decades of breathing this shit plays a part in how much my mind has deteriorated at least.

It was utterly inexcusable when it came out as in at the time of its release, as well as when it came out as in the year they released a game not up to modern standards. Ignoring that modern standards have been declining…

Anyway one of my friends gave me shit for saying that so I’ll try to find time to see what it’s like now. What blows my mind is ‘update’ or ‘patch’ in the same sentence as a bethesda title without ‘unofficial community’ and/or ‘mod’ but apparently they even patched out out of bounds shop inventories you can just take. I would have expected paid mods and an anniversary edition that is a new full priced release but not that. I hope they reduced the amount of loading too.

It was amazing yes. It had a few cutscenes that were excellent and anyone with any investment in the series would get pumped. Mechanics feel nearly perfect and not many games come close. And a number of other things, I’m sure you know them all.

But I will still never forgive Nintendo. They hate plot so much that continuity is nearly outright forbidden. I almost felt actual pain from the visual world building cues that were not only not expanded upon but many outright deleted. I want to play a game again and find new things I never noticed before, not find more things that were erased without any explanation or hint as to why. Don’t just leave me hanging with not only generic NPCs with low effort models forgetting me, but the guy that built my house after bringing him a literal entire forest too? It could have been a plot element or have a hint that it was time travel related and it would have been cool, but I cant help but feel like Nintendo is just building in a fuck you to the people that like analysing the lore or exploring the map looking for history clues.

Then the almost word for word duplicate cutscenes, the “oops all tutorial” trial chambers, being able to nearly effortlessly cheese everything with recall, the sheer volume of trials and koroks with largely disappointing returns on both, and I think even hestu forgets you now that I think about it, and the overall feel was just not quite there compared to botw.
Some things felt like they were made to accomodate people that hadn’t played BotW, but others seemed like they were made for people born before computers existed while ignoring that such a person couldn’t be expected to play a game more complicated than pong. Or trying to account for far too many incompatible edge cases and missing the mark on all of them. And inheriting the design mindset that led to the poor choices in the Oot and MM 3ds remakes.

Anyway I felt betrayed after BotW got my hopes up. Nintendo made my childhood then shat on it like my dad turned maga. I’m bitter and angry about it.

I bitch about live stream games? When? And “good” was simply using the same word as you in an attempt to maintain some semblance of continuity in discussion which was apparently meaningless since you seem incapable of that, since the me in your head apparently gets bonus dialogue lines nobody else gets to see

The words before the list gave me the impression that the list was not meant to be just live service free games but good ones. If it’s meant to be just a list of big releases then sure. Intent and tone don’t always convey well over the internet.

for point m I don’t think any one in the current US government needs alcohol for that to be a concern

I haven’t played all of those games but given the ones that I have, I’m reluctant to accept totk in that list, and offended by starfield

yeah that’s way cleaner. Student me would have used it just to not be using photoshop or ms paint

if it flops like the previous one, but I’m not counting on it considering I didn’t like steam controller 1 but I absolutely love steam deck controls and have been wanting this controller to exist since I first used the deck

Should have at least been GNUIMP. Maybe people would have used it.

Things don’t have to be named after things to sound offensive to people if they have phonetically the same name.
