  • There's this one Flash game that was basically only ever featured in one Flash game website (AFAIK), it played almost exactly like Swords and Sandals (it's a clone that's got nothing to do with the original series), but with this one, you could also choose to be an anthropomorphic animal and you start off with a fish for a weapon. It seemingly vanished from the face of earth, it's probably not even in the Flashpoint Archive..

    That said, I've found most Flash games I played back in the Flash heydey by complete accident (e.g. via YouTube recommendations), games like Chasm, Haunted House, The Farmer, Nightmares, The Adventures Series, except for this one for whatever reason.

    I never really began a wild goose chase over this one, but it still lives in the back of my mind sometimes.. But I did make it my mission to document flash games I used to play in case I want to ever revisit them lol.

  • Thanks for the tips. I've read recommendations of the ASRock B650 instead of the board I opted for, which costs only slightly more. AFAIK the only downsides to the A620M are no support for PBO + Curve Optimizer and no RGB headers. Those don't matter to me at all, since I don't intend to overclock and have no need to make my PC look fancy, I look at the screen most of the time, and not what's under the table :).. That said, I admit that the 7600X probably may have been a tiny bit overkill pairing with the board, but w/e, I like to live on the edge.

    I opted for that Corsair PSU because I found a good deal and the fact that cable management (unless in areas where necessary) was and isn't really a priority, so Fully or Semi modular it was. Other than that, no forethought was put into it.

    EDIT:

    Oh right forgot to mention that PcPartPicker's estimated wattage also guided my PSU purchase, the total estimate was at 530W, so I just multiplied it by 1.25. I'm currently second-guessing my PSU choice now..

    Jump

  • whatever you do, do not, BY ANY MEANS, think about visiting this site that, among other things, links to full, pirated, de-DRM'd games that are better experienced in their entirety without an intermediary platform like Steam, Epic Games, etc... DO NOT GIVE THE THOUGHT EVEN A MICROSECOND! This would totally be morally equivalent to "the bad stuff" that good wholesome companies that do mere totally excusable "oopsies".

  • weird priorities

    Jump

  • Gamers will unite to thwart cheaters and staunchly have their demands for balance changes met but will turn the other cheek on racism, sexism, ableism, etc.. with the reasoning being "cuz muh free speech", both in-game and on social media platforms.

  • Seriously, YouTube?

    Jump

  • as an alternative, I recommend Yewtube (not to be confused with the Invidious instance with the same name):

    https://github.com/mps-youtube/yewtube

    It's a TUI application that streams the music to mplayer, VLC or MPV depending on your preference. It can also handle playlists/albums.

  • Game devs of Lemmy, what have you been working on?

    Jump

  • Basically, in TF2, Demoman (one of, if not, the most mobile characters in the game) has a Sticky Launcher. You shoot a bunch of Sticky Bombs that stick to (almost) any surface, and they stay there until detonated manually by the Demoman. Each sticky bomb has the same "arm time" (the time it takes for them to be detonate-ready), when you position yourself close enough to your own sticky bomb and detonate, you are sent flying. The more stickies, the faster. But, you take damage. A lot. So that's where the Sticky Jumper comes in. You trade self-damage for no-damage on yourself or other players, but you're allowed to be sent flying anyway. Here's what that looks like in the source material:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2npOdkZVKU

    So, the idea is to take that and somehow translate it into 2D, with some creative liberties along the way. The only problem is that I want to somehow lessen the learning curve while also making it rewarding for players to master traversal with this mechanic. It's not hard to use it in TF2, but it's very hard to use it to its full potential (enter "Trimping", "Sticky Pogo-ing", etc...).

  • Java but in an alternate universe (with Microsoft's trademarked cursetm that follows everywhere). Auto-properties/properties to reduce boilerplate, extension methods, simplified exceptions (I don't care about being explicit about checked/unchecked exceptions, I just want to throw em and catch em whenever I feel like it! Then again, other languages don't want you to care about any of that either), Linq and access to the wonderful world of the GAME DEV ecosystem (Unity, Godot). Anything other than that is just splitting hairs at this point.

    Jump

  • Fellow EndeavorOS enjoyer here, I love the hand-holding it does for you at the beginning (calamares installer, pick whichever DE that tickles your fancy, access to AUR and other goodies by default), but then basically beyond that point, you're on your own. The fact that it's Arch based also means that 9.99 times out of 10, you can always consult the Arch Wiki for any issues.

    It's like an Arch Linux starter pack that gives you the option to take off the training wheels at any time lol.
