So don’t?

Dpad for games that were intended for dpad, analog if the game was intended for analog.

Analog for dpad games feels awkward in my experience, and dpad for analog games is not even an option.

What do you mean, “nowadays”? Mobile games always sucked.

But your point was that this is actively keeping people on Discord? By extension, that must mean that a significant bulk of those 150M users are kept on Discord because it has PluralKit. How do you reconcile that with the group of plurals being, apparently, quite small? To the point where even on Beehaw/Lemmy almost nobody seems to even have heard of it.

Interesting argument. I’d be curious if you know roughly how many plural people there are (let’s say headcounts as there’s only one body) compared to Discord’s user base. (150 million active users per month according to random half-assed google search)

It’s easy enough to just start a Creative world. I don’t remember whether the hunger mechanic just gets disabled if playing Survival on Peaceful difficulty, that might have been how it works.

Medic!

Best I can do is 4 Snipers and 5 Spies

Judging by Starfield, they need all the time they can possibly get. It’s gonna be a long’un.

Yes. I keep being surprised at how “fresh” 3 and 4 stay for me, given that the gameplay is not all that varied in the end. The gunplay is nice, the basic idea is nice, the execution works and I think Vaas and Pagan are interesting enough to sell the campaign for a good while. Hoyt is… also definitely one of the Far Cry villains of all time. 5 is fine if modified heavily, and 6… is undeniably a thing.

What?

It’s a zachtronics-like, but in a side-scroller? I like coding games but am not sure the combination works just like that. Personally, I’d expect the coding to be relevant to the world, not an unrelated theoretical exercise. Project Euler randomly tacked onto Mario would be a nope for me, but using coding as a meaningful part of the game, so it does visible, tangible, useful or just cool things? Sign me the fuck up.

If you haven’t tried playing Zachtronics games, I’d give them a try. They’re a major subniche of “coding games” and could be good for some inspiration. They’re all basically coding either in spirit (SpaceChem, Magnum Opus) or directly (TIS-100, Shenzhen IO, Exapunks…), usually with some twist. Their languages tend to be “fake assembly”, simplified and stylized.

Personally I’ve rarely had as much fun coding as in my early ComputerCraft days (computers/robots in Minecraft) because it… did stuff. I was already a coder, but was not used to seeing it translated into “physical” actions. Like the difference of learning/teaching Python with text-based UIs and exercises, vs a “robot” that drives around in the room and does things.

I’ve had some ideas along these lines myself, borrowing a lot of Zachlike inspiration, but I was going to go topdown or just omit the “overworld” entirely.

This is a new take to me, anyway. What do you mean?

I haven’t played Factorio in a while, but something about FFFs is just… nice. Wube seems like an interesting place, I like the way they do things.

Judging by the replies: yes and no, respectively. No fun allowed, there’s offense to be taken!

Final Fantasy doesn’t “look Japanese”, according to this guy. If that’s a joke, I’m not getting it, and if it isn’t… wat?

I routinely skip SO unless I’ve already exhausted most possibilities. If it was ever a good place to get answers, I frankly didn’t see it. What I did see was infinite amounts of bitching about “bad” questions, non-duplicate duplicates, lazy-ass people who just wanted an excuse not to answer, and assorted people tripping on their little iota of perceived “power”.

Hell, even the indexed results on Google etc. just stopped being even remotely useful a few years back. After that, most shit I searched for ended up in an unanswered and possibly locked question with some passive-aggressive bullshit remark. It’s got the culture of helpfulness of a 2003 gaming forum - except the people telling everyone else to go fuck themselves are mods, not pubertal kids. (Although if the mods were pubertal kids that would actually explain quite a bit)

Ah yes, the edgiest of letters. That fits pretty well, actually.

I play Ocarina of Time randomizers using both a tracker and my own notes. That game is pretty huge, especially when things are shuffled around.
