I'll recommend that you export your game as a single exe, unless there are external files you don't want to include in the zip for some reason.

hhhhhhhhhhh

"I reject the ability of humanity to even assign a probability to the existence of a carrier, much less deny or accept its existence." -iPad on becoming strong carrier agnostic.

Hotline Miami itself feels winky and abstracted because of its pixel art aesthetic, and the people you kill are direct threats to you. Also there was a read of the game by Campster that was basically that in HL, you're not thinking about killing people you're focused on the synesthesia and abstraction of the gameplay because it's tight, cohesive, beautiful and challenging. One ending of the game actually points that out, and it's supposed to be reflective of the damage you're doing while in a gameplay induced trance. The whole way through the gameplay is unforgiving and a struggle, and the feeling is constantly that you don't belong in this space and that your perception is imperfect, that something is clearly wrong with what's going on. So idk obviously Hatred isn't out yet but the comparison seems to be like...comparing a Tarantino exploitation film with an actual exploitation film. I dunno. EDIT: ok I'm just gonna gripe about it. It's just dumb. It doesn't look like the violence has any intentionality or is a consequence of an artistic goal (which is what should be protected, not violence itself), and it doesn't looks like a formal exploration that hasn't been covered (there's been muslim massacre, postal, postal 2, that scene in MW2, and CoD is one big unjustified murder thing), so it just looks like a silly adolescent wet dream.

Wait why wasn't this thread named Idle Yums or Idle Tums? I would assume it's because people need to retain their appetite.

Whoops.

I don't get why it's not Chrhistorymo.

Bjorn: Yeah haha this reminded me a lot about a comment chris made about the MoMA and how you would definitely expect it to have an exhibit that is just a dude's head exploding forever. This game reminds me of punk philosophy "pure aesthetic" stuff that is obsessed with isolating form and stripping out preconceptions. If only they actually did that instead of making another fucking shooter.

Did postal have elements of social commentary? It doesn't excuse it but it's certainly better than a game completely focused on taking vague revenge on the world.

My hope for this is that its a huge bait and switch and the main character gets arrested in the first mission, and the rest of the game is a court procedural.

A friend sent me this. I'm super weirded out by how the post ended up, sans even the transphobic stuff. The first thing is that I guess it makes sense that a female would be uncomfortable in a group ostensibly made for females filled with males, but then kind of weird that immediately it was attributed to their focus on social issues (maybe true?). I don't agree with the post at all and I think it's probably fake, but if you give the poster the benefit of the doubt you get that same sense of creepiness when people talk about "ladies nights" at bars being filled with dudes, or guys that tell you that they're taking a women's studies track in university "for the chicks". I dunno how widespread it is that people would view the "sjw side" as an extension of a boys club, and just a veneer hiding other motivations, and using the platform as a shield, applying #notyourshield with earnest. They're probably just not exposed to facts but I feel like its super sad that people can have this impression if made in good faith.

It's actually a plugin that randomly replaces Chris' mentions of Trek with Wars to mess with nerds.

Haskell is so beautiful. I can see using it in tutoring work for math. It feels like sketching a drawing versus architecting a building.

Holy shit that VE is unreal. C++ is interesting, but people keep telling me to learn Java or Haxe to get a grip on OO basics.

This is interesting to me cause it shows that they'd actually rather be scrappy, unclear, and politically invincible than articulated and organized.

Weev is some sort of Actual White Supremecist right?

Its kind of easy to forget thay Gamergate arguments are bullshit on top of the bad faith, no matter how much political maneuvering they attempt. I'm starting to feel that playing their game is legitimizing their argument to outsiders.

Ahhh I get it. I really like this kind of stuff. Is the jump height invariable? It's very challenging and more about timing than twitch.

Mm, I meant for what project/purpose? I'm having trouble visualizing what's being explained.

Twig, what was that implemented in?

I'm three episodes into the second series and it's starting hurt to watch it. The first series was pretty good and kind of explored the consequences of certain powers but eh. Things started to devolve into TV plotland pretty quickly.
