That’s pretty amazing. I was around his age when I got Super Mario Bros. on the NES and I don’t remember even beating world 1. Much less designing a clever, functionally evil map. Bright kid.

The cynic in me knows this was built entirely by the father, but I want to believe. Kudos to you for not cursing at an 8 year old on livestream though.

I’m with you on Demon’s Souls, I’d love to see what it would look like on the PC especially. I guess all we can do is keep the candles lit.

Posting this here as a supplement because Tom Scott is great.

Or one of those magic mirrors everyone is so crazy about.

Should they give it a mouth?

I love how Red Dead Redemption is always the go-to for people’s PC port demands. All I remember from that game is awful voice acting, hilarious ludonarritive dissonance, and a massive boring space full of minigames. PC players really aren’t missing as much as they think.

Bummer, it’s a bit of a shame. In the article format, they’re fit to width, and when enlarged they’re fit to height. No actual resolution scrolling available. Ah well, at least there are links to the originals.

Is Kinja on the fritz again? Magnifying them actually makes them smaller by smashing them onto one screen, and there are no options to scroll through images.

Fantastic game, but aside from being very pick-up-and-play, I can’t imagine playing this on mobile. It requires precision control to perform well, which seems near impossible without a controller. Even with one I struggle to perform well.

This is stupid and would never work obviously, but I would love for games’ standard pricing system to be “pay what you want,” and let buyers adjust the price after purchase. For example, I paid $20 for Wolfenstein TNO, and that game was worth less than my time. On the other hand, I paid $15 for Binding of Isaac and…

If that was discouraging, take a look at this year’s AGDQ run of it. 100% on the base game + gehenna for me was a bit over 30 hours. The runner did it all live in 1h 20m... turned the game into a physics platformer.

Good... aside from sidestepping metacritic, they always did seem even more shallow than scores. Make people read. If they can’t read, you don’t want them in the comments section just for some cheap hits anyway. My favorite recent satire on review scores:

I particularly enjoyed how Ubisoft completely ignored the new sale rules and just had their own dailies/flash sales. Sales that everyone missed because they were told they could just check the first day and see all the sales. Just icing on top of Uplay proving that they really have no idea how to steam/pc in general.

In addition to sound names, physical interpretations can also vary.

What I really don’t understand is the obsession with ultra hd resolution and display size when content for the device is just now reaching 1080p60 on a mass market scale. If they’re so bored as to spend money on more pixels and sexy tv butts almost nobody needs, I’d like to suggest tackling lag and increased native…

That’s a fine rule, but I don’t disagree with people being vocal against it either. Anyone can and should pursue their dreams, no matter the barriers, and all that. But as soon as you put it up on Kickstarter, Steam Greenlight, anything that sells the thing for money or asks for funding, that thing is also fully open…

I feel like hardware is going in the other direction, to be honest. PCs more locked down for dedicated purposes and separate TV/monitor hybrids as people demand more freedom to choose where they do what they do.

I can think of better uses for a Xocoscalpere.
