I have had an extremely hard week. I had some me time for myself for the first time in Don't Ask, so I decided to go fiddle in Gridania. A lalafel came up to me, dressed like this, and started cheering. I love this game. I love this shitpost given form. #gaming#videogames#mmorpg#finalfantasy#ffxiv#ff14
It already looks like gameplay and prototype game mechanics... A collection device with a limit, a device for accumulation and whatever. What's next? Make a Ghostbusters energy trap?
I fell all the way back in love with XCOM 2 on last night's stream. Do you have any top XCOM tips?
I always colour code soldiers. Red for Rangers, Blue for Specialists, Yellow for Grenadiers, White for Sharpshooters (to easily see how abilities can be used on the battlefield).
This summer I am hoping to sit down after #DEFCON and spin up my RTMP restreamer probably using AWS so I can get around to finding someplace to setup an Owncast account, not sure if I want to run my own server as that's a lot of work.
I plan to simulcast to Owncast, Twitch, Youtube, and Tiktok at the same time. And then merge all the chats on the same screen on my Linux box so I can see all of the chat on one screen. #Infosec#Cybersecurity#Gaming#GamingonLinux
If you have a Samsung washing machine, you'll probably be familiar with its self-satisfied "I'm finished" chime — the 40-second jingle that plays when your wash cycle is complete. It's a version of Schubert's "Die Forelle," which was composed in 1817. Now, it's sparked an absurd copyright abuse flag on YouTube, with a Twitch streamer claiming his play-through of Fallout was demonetized because his washing machine finished while he was streaming. Seemingly YouTube's automatic scan had detected the washing machine chime as a song called "Done," which was uploaded to YouTube by a musician known as Audego nine years ago. Albino suggested that YouTube had potentially allowed Audego to make invalid copyright claims for years. Here's more from @arstechnica
Today in Unreal Engine 5, I finally did it… Niagara System on GPU without event collision. I transfer the position of the collector to Niagara, calculate the distance there, and through the Export Particle Data to Blueprint module catch the supposedly collision, which I count as a particle collected, on the emitter side the Kill Particles module does a similar check
I don't have any real retro games I want to play enough to say get a hold of an emulator; I fully admit most games I played 10 hours a day in my youth (the 1980s) were shit. The oldest games might actually fancy to play still functions on Steam.
Of course there were good ones like Arkanoid, Uridium, Balder Dash, Tetris and a bit later Defender of the Crown and a few others, but most were played because they were the only game in town.
New experiments with Unreal Engine 5, Niagara. A prototype of a magnetic device for collecting various bio material. I have a lot of gameplay ideas where it can be used and how: plants, insects, crafting, fuel or things to scare away creatures... Maybe you will have ideas too?
Fast 10 Jahre hat es kein ambitioniertes MMO-Projekt mehr geschafft, sich einen Platz an der Sonne zu erkämpfen. Trotzdem sieht die Zukunft des Genres überraschend rosig aus.
