  1. This made me chuckle.
  2. Question about True Detective Mysteries:
  3. Plug your shit

    I appreciate your support though it's just vocal. Tell your friends.
  4. Plug your shit

    I've become a professional Battlefield 3 streamer. Subscribe to my patreon to be charged monthly for professional Battlefield 3 streams. Here's a taste of what you'll be getting.
  5. While listening to the Bowser Junior talk my phone just randomly started playing Mulatu Astatke without me having pressed any buttons which gave me the impression that the conversation was taking a very long time and Chris put in music to show the passing of time, but the music kept playing. I was excited that Chris was a Mulatu Astatke fan, but I was also increasingly confused. It was surreal.
  6. Freelancing Thumbs - We write right, alright?

    Another possibility would be to start your own online magazine or whatever. Amassing a public body of work could build your reputation and maybe you could start selling subscriptions or ads yourself. Additionally, you'll end up finding people and other writers who have similar interests and perspectives which is (to be honest) not something you can buy. That wouldn't stop you from taking freelance jobs, in fact it would increase the likelihood that people know you exist. If you end up writing about free hobbyist games, make sure to tell me. I'm @cafefiction on twitter. I'm not a source of money, but I like reading about free hobbyist games.
  7. You shouldn't have to change your name, but it's worth admitting your limitations to yourself. Personally, I prefer to put myself in circumstances where I can choose my battles when possible. Even as a cis, heterosexual white male it can be tiring trying to be a stand-up kinda guy in lobbies of random douchebags. Also, anecdotally, I've been noticing a lot more racist comments against asian folks in my daily life, it's kinda weird. I'm wondering if Fox News started talking more about China or something.
  8. The discussion about Life Is Strange's ludo-narrative resonance reminded me of that show where the teenage girl could clap her hands to pause time and rearrange things so orange-juice wouldn't spill and all that.
  9. Freelancing Thumbs - We write right, alright?

    If I was looking to pitch writing pieces, I would follow the @ArcadeReview, @Haywiremag, and @CritDistance on twitter. I see calls for writing from them every once in a while.
  10. Game Dev Talks/Lectures

    There was a talk about lighting your levels and I think it was done by Lee Petty, but I can't find it.
  11. The Singularity

    Listening to Bruce Sterling talk about the utility fog I started to wonder: Is it physically possible for all the mass in the universe to simulatenously be energy instead?
  12. Twitch streams

    Not knowing the reason people use Twitch rather than recording a video, I'm just going to put this video here. I made a video where I try to explain that one of Battlefield 3's best features is how great the game is when you are being shot at.
  13. E3 2015

    I've been playing a lot of Battlefield 3 and specifically enjoying two aspects of it. I like hiding in buildings and behind rocks while being fired upon by vehicles and I like following squad mates to resupply and heal them. So the thing I'm looking forward to is finding out if that type of stuff will be in the Star Wars shooter. Also hoping for lots and lots of VR news and hoping to see something about Titanfall 2.
  14. Other podcasts

    I really enjoyed this one. As someone who is more interested in ambitious attempts and free games than $60 commercial games, this is a great thing for me to have available. It's been a good week for game podcasts. I also just finished listening to episode 1 of the Beastcast and Austin Walker is a significant get.
  15. For the week of June 1st, 2015 we will be playing: True Detective Mysteries by thecatamites You can play the game in your browser here. You can download the single game from here for free Or you can buy the entire collection of 50 games from here.
  16. I just looked it up, the license is tied to the motherboard.
  17. The Big VR Thread

    I'm hoping for VR ports of Pinball FX2 and Pinball Arcade, but I would only use VR at home. I don't know if that is useful to the mobile question.
  18. Construct 2

    Well this is what I have so far from playing around. Here's a good example of what makes it both appealing and a struggle. When I play the game Deadpan linked, I'm wondering which items and behaviors(components) they would be using and where the menus for those items would be for everything I haven't used yet. In Unity, if I can't find the component, I feel like I can atleast write one myself. I'm not complaining, it's just a much different way of making a game (that I'm not used to but wouldn't mind having a workable knowledge of). Oh and by the way, tile-mapping is really super fun. I've never done that before and I really enjoy it. Here's what the script looks like for everything in the current game: And here is what it looks like when I add a component to the player-character sprite:
  19. I think the choice of a hospital being "a place to get a drink" is trying to give us the perception that we are being led in knowledge of a place. It's like hanging out with a someone who has been to a place before when you have not, and they seem to know some things about it, but don't seem entirely reliable. Those authorities often seem super-powered with the knowledge of a place, but the longer they guide you around, the more it seems that they are just someone who had to make due at a previous arrival and now you are retracing the compromises they made when they were green, with them. The hospital is a good place to get a drink because your host happened into a hospital during a previous visit and that's when they discovered it had a bar in the cafeteria. It's assumed that there is a much better place to get a drink, this is just the only one they know and you are dependent on their understanding of the place.
  20. I like the music. I enjoy how any substantial conversation has to wait until they find a comfortable place to talk. Keeping the two of them together seems more similar to walking through tight crowds than a smoggy city. I enjoy Hazy Hazy Town but I don't feel that I have much to say about it.
  21. Philosophy & Economics

    Now that you mention it, one time I got really drunk and decided to swim across the Mississippi. My friends threatened physical coercison once we were on the levy. In retrospect, I'm glad they did that. I would have probably drowned.
  22. Philosophy & Economics

    Has anyone here been coerced and now feel positive about it? Or is coercion just something that can sometimes be done to other people for good reasons?
  23. Philosophy & Economics

    Here's an hour long documentary that seems like a pretty good introduction to why worker-cooperatives are an important alternative to capitalism.
  24. Twitter :)

    It's really annoying when someone deletes content they've put up that has been linked to.
