65, a scifi movie with Adam Driver is a flawed but good movie, I'm glad I didn't watched the trailer though, one of the most interesting things is something they spoil all over the promotional material.

@djlink Forget the trailer. In the UK, The poster you put there was plastered all over the place with the tag line under it that spoiled said premise.

No-one could avoid it, even if you didn't care about the film.

(Spoilered out in case you don't want THE ENTIRE MOVIE SPOILED FOR YOU)

opened YouTube and saw this, looks like EU is forcing Google to ask if we want our data to be shared across multiple services for ads purposes. Which probably no one wants.

BigTheDave,
@BigTheDave@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@djlink It reads to me like "Hey, we're allowed to share data to Prevent Crime and have Interoperability, but the EU require us to ask consent to do the stuff that makes us the real money"

What's your favorite version of Silicon Valley repackaging an old tech as new, at 10x the price?

BigTheDave,
@BigTheDave@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@ZachWeinersmith The number of times they keep re-inventing Buses, Trams or other light rail... but with AI!

I don't want to get back to the old days of save points only in certain places, But these had a psychological effect "it's a feature" where it was such a relief to find them. you felt safe, accomplished, like tiny milestones, a lot of game design around these too.

BigTheDave,
@BigTheDave@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@djlink 90% of the tension in alien isolation was from seeing a save point and hoping you can get to it without being eaten

A lot of businesses switched to Facebook as their “webpage” over the years and I feel that will be a problem for them in the long run. Discord communities moving from self hosted forums to discord is going to be the same eventually. Will be way harder to move them back to other stuff. Keeping both is always better.

@djlink It's been used in lieu of implementing a proper customer service flow in many cases.

Same with Twitter.

They'll all move over to using AI Chatbots instead.

@djlink Clearly it's just lazy developers.

I think the enshittification of streaming services will be the main cause for piracy going mainstream again. Netflix mostly fixed a service problem but the whole industry seems obsessed in reversing it now https://9to5mac.com/2023/12/27/amazon-prime-video-ads-2/

@djlink So this is just Twitch Turbo for Prime Videos? Jeezos Beezos.

the funny thing about this is that if we wait long enough, the generation after GenZ might like gifs again and it will be fashion again. most things usually circle back.

@BigTheDave@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@djlink this can never go out of fashion

@djlink This must have been the closest one of these you've done.

Upset that the least number of people UNDERSTAND.

I have a room graph set up but because of the way it carves rooms with a random walk, rooms can become connected apart from the graph. This is making locked doors and key an issue since the player can often sneak around locked doors. Not sure it's a real issue yet. It might play fine.

BigTheDave,
@BigTheDave@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@grumpygamer If it does there's plenty of ways to sort it out.

Like finding every exit to a room and locking them all off.

    Yay! The Christmas season starts today & I love it.

    I don't do religion & I don't do rampant consumerism, but I am here 100% for the sparkle. I live in Scotland, winter is dark, we need the extra sparkle.

    And the Santa hats. I am SO here for the Santa hats. Bright red & fluffy, I mean.... come on.

    Anyhow, I'm aware that it is not for everyone, so I am going to tag all my festive pics with so they're easy to avoid.

    Let's go!

    Two large standing stones in moorland. There is blue sky behind them, with white fluffy clouds. The stone on the left has a Santa hat, animated googly eyes and a white beard and moustache. The one on the right has a tall red and white stripey elf hat and google eyes.

    @eclectech I'm here for the Christmas Market that is now nothing but dodgy food vans and thrill rides.

    Nothing like having a sausage of suspicious origin then going on that mad spinny magic carpet ride

    gpus are incredibly more expensive and it seems like a GPU from 2017 (GTX 1080TI) still hold well against a RTX 4060TI from 2023.

    @djlink I'm still using a 1070Ti and the only game I've had even slightly chug was Midnight Suns - and that was notoriously poor performance wise.

    Oh, and Baldur's Gate 3 - but that wasn't a Graphics thing that was a Chapter 3 thing (and CPU bound I think).

    On the whole I'm a great believer in the "there's no such thing as a stupid question" adage.

    But this one might just slip in there.

    I mean, I really REALLY want to click on the thumbs down, obviously, just to totally mess up some stats somewhere...

    BigTheDave,
    @BigTheDave@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @eclectech You wouldn't be the first one.

    There are so many steam reviews out there with years clocked in and not recommended.

    Though it's mostly shooters, like Counter-Strike
