Seems.. Fine/Good?

Just um it's a BR

And we don't really like the whole..
> Gametime mostly 20m of foraging
> Game decided by 2s shootout

But for a BR, it seems like a good BR?

Also bring back titans and bring back wallrunning

Basically I'm still salt over Titanfall 3, I probably won't be diving deep into it, but Apex seems like it's set to be the top game for the forseeable if you're into that kinda PlunkNite BR shooter

@StarshipAmelia you can woof for free whenever you like, but Big Woof doesn't want anyone to know

@colon_three *petpet*

I am bemused by the motivations of all the people who reply to Amazon item questions to tell a random stranger that they don't know the answer.

It seems to happen a lot more than I'd expect.. I wonder if there's some Amazon incentivisation scheme for answering questions that explains it.

@theoutrider @typhlosion Also thinking about this kinda stuff, Crypt of the Necrodancer does this stuff really well, especially in Zone 3 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5jKseU-5Hs )

Nier Automata seamlessly swapping to 8-bit whenever you go into 9S' hacking minigame was simple but super-effective in a similar way to The Messenger, in that you feel transported, but still 'adjacent' to the main game.

(The game uses absence of this music later on to make really disquieting hacking sequences feel distinct, too)

@theoutrider @typhlosion Ahh these are so good thankyou

Also yes, I have tried Renoise after a friend who was raised on trackers recommended it and uh

I spent enough time poking the interface trying to learn it, going through the example-pieces and just..

"What is it? Why is it arranged in these strange patterns? ..Could it be alive, Mr. Spock?"

..That I have a strong aversion to tracker interfaces, yeah. x_x

@typhlosion @theoutrider Ah! Thankyou Kas.

I honestly didn't know these formats had modern equivalents that were easily accessible, and I wanna do more sound & music stuff for gamedev projects, so this is super helpful to learn about, it opens up so much potential for cool stuff being practically achievable for me. ✨

@theoutrider @typhlosion is that the one they used that made the music dynamic in Tie Fighter? I remember there was a lot of hubbub about the digital rereleases, and not going for the CD-ROM version, because when it was released on CD they just cut all that stuff and used Star_Wars_Music.wav regardless of what was going on ingame.

Am home safe, travel and stuff today went fine. Body seems to be doing a bit better too.

(Will do more detail later but wanted to make sure people didn't worry)

@theoutrider Oh hey it's my housing association xP

"We're sorry you feel that.." would be a taboo phrase in a better world
