OMG Hype! Looks like I will be splitting my time between No Man’s Sky and Red Dead Redemption 2 as expeditions are my new favorite thing. I’m glad that I learned about this new Expedition early on, so that I can take my time and enjoy it. Of course, I’d find out about this as I’m in the waiting room. 🤣
I take some small credit for the naming of No Man's Sky's latest expedition, Adrift.
When I was still active in the No Man's Sky community I referred to the pre-Foundation version of the game as Adrift, because it preceded the shift to settler/colonist gameplay that Foundation introduced.
The expeditions in No Man's Sky were the real answer to the community requests for a more dynamic universe, in my opinion.
A compromise between those wanting a universe that changed according to underlying simulation, a difficult task, and those wanting continuations of the game's light storytelling but with more unique missions.
I think it clearly worked for enough people, but it wasn't for me. Too live service, too MMO-esque.
Castle of Illusion was mad but so much fun. I remember being in hospital for an extended period back in the early 90s, and this (and Ecco the Dolphin) really helped me through! One for the Retro Gaming fans here.
Morning Folks! Last night I waded into the scary world of the Group Finder tool in #WorldOfWarcraft#PandariaRemix and found it to be a mixed bag. The first three normal raids were super smooth and I knocked them out in rapid succession. Then I spent the next hour failing to get into either a Throne of Thunder or Siege of Orgrimmar raid.
My gaming desktop is now rocking Linux. Just a test for now, but I'm impressed with the performance, especially because its running on a 10 year old HDD! I might need to steal some space from Windows on the SSD or buy another one. Depends on how much I use Windows now I guess. #linux#gaming
I'm thinking of using it somehow... Visually, a particle can be anything. The main logic is that the particle sticks to the surface and stays for some time
Yes I'm very late. Very Zelda 1-y without being QUITE as infuriating as Zelda 1. Still don't know what a couple things in my inventory are but rang a bell, got a sword, opened up a little of my corner of the map
Have to admit that I never liked the Nintendo SNES. However, for such a low spec'ed CPU (a slightly more powerful 16bit 6502, the 68516), it did deliver a very good arcade-like experience for Mortal Kombat 2!
Started playing Batman: Arkham Asylum recently. I last played the game in 2015, and I've never played any of the sequels, so I figured I'd go back and give the original a go before continuing the series.
So far, it's held up pretty well! I'm not too great at the combat, but it's fun enough. Love the sort of Metroidvania style of the game—although maybe it's closer to The Legend of Zelda, with the different buildings acting as dungeons.
Celebrating the public testing stage of the Unbound SDF 3D modeler and game editor (see previous post in this thread for details), here are three images I made with it.
In the Cloudmaker and the snail image, I made use of Unbound's "Splats", an alpha-based scattered texture, enabling easy fur, smoke, grass, et cetera.
Next week we go 600 miles around the virtual Charlotte Motor Speedway in the MCRL Circuit Cup Series. The longest race on the schedule, this will be true test of patience and endurance.
Typically, this event is filled with patriotic pageantry as it is tied to Memorial Day week. We pay tribute to those who have died protecting and serving our country with the names of the fallen adorned on our cars, with wraps of red, white, and blue. And while we at +MVT Racing commend those who have served, we do not condone violence nor military offensives, and we do not celebrate any such activity. For that reason, we have chosen to honor a service member of the USAF who also shared in these values - Senior Airman Aaron Bushnell.
Aaron served as a USAF DevOps engineer, and was a fierce advocate of justice. He recognized that no country should be supporting the destruction of another, and spoke out against the US Government's support of Israel's ongoing attack of the Palestinian people. In his final act of protest, he self-immolated in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC on February 25th, 2024, shouting "Free Palestine".
He died defending peace, calling attention to US policies that are harmful to not only our country's integrity, but to the lives of others. His sacrifice, though tragic, should not be forgotten, and his message should be spread far and wide.
