In general, modern big budget games have an issue with cramming in too much stuff because they feel it's required rather than choosing what benefits their game. Mini games are just one aspect of that.

I really loved this episode! One of the best! And this is my favourite show! But I'm not a fan of rating systems. 1/5 stars.

Well that's hard to be certain of at the best of times, let alone when preparing to do a tenuous 30 day marketing campaign where your potential audience will determine whether or not you get funding to make your next project. The general gaming audience has not given a lot of cause to have faith in them at any time, let alone when your livelihood/a significant chunk of it is on the line.

Being introduced to gifcam will definitely make the GIFing process easier.

Have you seen Fire Walk With Me? I do feel like that supports the response about it being real Leland that's culpable. I think DoppeLeland's delight with the line does reinforce it too.

Hot damn. Results are still coming in about the election but I haven't heard any constituency voting No. I don't know what other people's sense of Ireland is, but I was worried that No could win or that Yes would just scrape a win out of sheer complacency. But we really fucking did this. I'm so glad that we're not only going to pass this, our country has just shouted a clear message about this that makes me hopeful for future changes. I'm glad I got to be part of making this happen too.

Where's the option for 2D sidescrolling!? I don't think I even play enough 3D stuff these days to express a preference.

That's awesome Grayson! I hope you'll still have time to post here occasionally too, we miss you dude!

We thought he didn't want anything, but all along this is what he wanted...

Yeah I've heard that Facebook was doing that as an experiment and it worked quite well so hopefully that works in our favour for this.

Also worth noting that the polls have pointed out that if young people don't actually vote as they say they will then the stronger older contingent of No voters entirely has the power to swing it. So of course we're all badgering our friends to actually do the damn thing instead of generally agreeing it should be done.

Actually Leland's doppelganger is in the lodge, not Leland himself. The implication to me is that Leland is not in the Lodge but that he was inhabiting his own body (I don't know what this implies for Cooper, who seems to be absent from his body). FWWM definitely showed how Bob was there for a long time but also seemed to confirm Leland as culpable to me. His creepy controlling behaviour at dinner is not Bob. Bob is much more unstable and rash he delights in feeding off pain and suffering but Leland is calculated, domineering and controlling. They fit as partners but both act out and want different things.

I liked the tiny glimpse of pre TP Cooper who was actually terribly unnerved by a dream of his and the agent who arrived in only to disappear during the freaky montage. This made it feel like Cooper's sureness and security in the show is actually a relatively recent development, possibly from preparing for the case when he knew it would eventually appear. After we got to Twin Peaks I really liked the deeper exploration of Laura's life. Watching the show again made me realise how little it details her as a victim. You know she died in the show, but you get so much evidence of her being destructive that it almost seems like she was a force to be reckoned with when really she was just a disaster trying to do anything should could to change her situation (which I'm assuming is why she was on drugs, in several relationships, in therapy and at one eyed jacks). The film gives a much more human and personal portrayal to her that always seemed to be absent in the show where understanding her was a big mystery. I had the same feeling about Leland, though to a much smaller degree (mostly cause of the screentime offered to him). In the show it seemed like Leland was a tragic empty vessel that was possessed by the real perpetrator. because it was more ambiguous with the earlier treatment, and then when the Bob/Leland connection is brought to the foreground it feels like they shy away from acknowledging Leland's own agency. In the film it seemed like he was just a terror all the time. Even when he's apologising to Laura it seems to unnerve her.

I think binge watching makes that significantly easier compared to watching week by week, I didn't have a problem with him on my original watching spree.

I haven't had much time to dive back into this much, but I think you're doing a disservice to the legitimate desire to charge for licences. Programs take a ton of time to make and refine to the point that they could be sold for a person to use indefinitely. Fonts are significant undertakings to make the individual characters look right and then align them nicely on a screen. The point of charging for them is largely for real commercial use, for studios or productions that have a budget to allocate to these things. There is a practical murkiness when this comes to non commercial people who just want to make a thing for themselves, but ethically it's a simple situation that the owner of a thing has decided what they want the conditions for use to be. Fonts are not a puzzle piece. By calling them a puzzle piece you equate them to a larger expanse of something that you've already rightfully obtained, being withheld from you needlessly. A font you get online is someone's work that you want to take and use. That's more akin to taking the entire puzzle from the shop, because they have a whole warehouse full of them anyway where other people can pay the proper price, and then hanging it in your gallery without even considering crediting the puzzle maker as the artist.

You've been infiltrated by subversives.

If we're complaining about American standardisation, why hasn't anyone brought up mm dd year?

If only you could set your TV to display the game at its native small resolution and just tile it over the whole screen.

I can very unhelpfully confirm that I feel like I've heard it too but have no idea where.

Yeah the sculpting actually does look super good in it. It's a shame I liked messing around with more geommetric stuff in my modelling but if I was getting into 3D again I'd wanna play around with both. Basically I need to somehow become unemployed in a totally financially secure way at some point in the future so I can learn a bunch more stuff and have time to actually make things. ...says man in his twenties with no children or debt.

What, you don't like that left click defaults to placing the '3D Cursor' on a 2D plane that is a screen and is supposed to dictate where you'll spawn geommetry into a 3 dimensional space? I have barely used Blender, it looks surprisingly good for being free and I'm a poor ass man so I expect if I do want to get back into 3D stuff I'll just power through the mess of interface it is.

That's an odd feature given how large visual novels can be contentwise. Is there perhaps a way that you can link URLs at least? Maybe have each chapter separated and then as a chapter ends the player is sent to a new page? I don't know if that could be done very seamlessly but it might be worth a shot?

I think Blender is the cheapest option really.

Self criticism is hard for people when it means admitting fault at something serious like social issues. This seems especially true if you do care about social issues and then find something you do being criticised even though your reason for doing it isn't to cause harm. Too many people haven't fully realised the idea that these biases are an inevitable existence that you need to be mindful of and push against by taking in viewpoints of others and listening to what you might be missing. They're not just traits of uncaring or willfully harmful people. I still have trouble not initially responding to things in that way, despite consciously knowing that I make plenty of these mistakes. If someone wont even take the step of consciously acknowledging it then it's hard to really respond fairly and constructively to these criticisms.
