CrossCode, for the third time in about two weeks.
I’m 5 years late to it because for some reason I thought it was a JRPG…
Wh… what do you mean, “originally as a joke”?
III. We’ve Already Seen Extensive Gains From-
When I was younger, I read R.A Salvatore’s classic fantasy novel, The Crystal Shard. There is a scene in it where the young protagonist, Wulfgar, challenges a barbarian chieftain to a duel for control of the clan so that he can lead his people into a war that will save the world. The fight culminates with Wulfgar throwing away his weapon, grabbing the chief’s head with bare hands, and begging the chief to surrender so that he does not need to crush a skull like an egg and become a murderer.
Well this is me. Begging you. To stop lying. I don’t want to crush your skull, I really don’t.
I have a few in my library:
I don’t think these games aim for nostalgia, nostalgia alone is not a good reason to choose low-poly or low-res graphics.
Low-res textures and sprites have the advantage of being much easier for artists not only to hand draw, but to explicitly choose what details to give to a certain surface.
3D games with low-res rendering also have their own appeal, like you say: they tell you what you’re looking at but still leaves your imagination the burden of filling in the details.
To me low-poly models don’t really have their own appeal, unlike pixelated visuals, however I also don’t mind them at all.
I still occasionally play games like Perfect Dark and TLoZ: OoT on their recompiled PC ports, they look good despite their low-poly nature because they don’t need high-poly models and their animations would look uncanny if they did (goofy ahh textures though).
However, there are some retro effects that I find to be straight up ugly: Signalis applies a CRT effect occasionally, which I can’t say I’m fond of.
Isn’t it more of a blue shift / red shift situation, rather than scattering?
Why would a car have a pet?
I didn’t get the first half, could you send it again?
I did find a wikipedia article to that, and it still seems legitimately more sensible than using Discord for any reason other than gaming-related peer pressure
I think you’re being a little unfair, communication via carrier pigeons is a valid solution as it outpaces IPv4/IPv6 carriers to this day
It’s not Discord, it’s some project that has a Discord community
Judging by Google’s chokehold over web browsers and websites in general, they’re not that different…
With the last two big things I’ve heard about (Yuzu and… Dolphin, I think?) they were legally in the right, but at least where I live there is absolutely no way to spin a recompiler + asset extractor as something illegal - they can’t even claim the developers are circumventing DRM, because OOT and MM didn’t have any.
Though, I would not be surprised if there’s something in US law that can be exploited for this.
Ship Of Harkinian (and similar projects) have kept gping for a long time, and they don’t do anything remotely illegal either
No, just base-256 numbers that for some reason people call “binary”
I’ve got to work on the fact that seeing the word “insufferable” on social media makes me instinctively get defensive ._.
They do provide a free service (GTK’s file chooser), one that I find horrible and inconsistent (as per the thread) and intentionally so (on issues tangential to example that I found, although the proposed configurable behavior would be nice) - so I won’t even entertain the thought of trying and contributing to it, as it has been suggested.
I don’t know what is insufferable about that, other than the initial criticism…
Enhancement? No, everything I have a problem with is explicitly intended behavior and GNOME devs are infamous for their everyone is stupid except me mentality
Edit, found a neat lil’ example:
Does Gnome/GTK have an issue board where users vote on issues?
Free software development is not a democracy, and does not get driven by polls. Features and bugs are introduced by those who show up, within a community that works towards a shared goal.
I don’t believe the intentional behavior is desirable and would like to see what other users think.
That’s not how anything works.
Contribute with UX changes? To GNOME maintained software?
If you want to comb the game for unique dialogue and Lea expressions, make sure to start and finish a Sergey Hax run when you do get back to it
