Attention fellow AUSTRALIANS! 🇦🇺 We now have an official petition to parliament to STOP MASTERCARD and VISA from its campaign of censorship, restricting what legal products we can buy. Please sign it now, and if you're not an Aussie, spread the word! www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch Ken Russell's THE DEVILS in our Nunsploitation collection! The most controversial film of the 70s, it was banned across the world for its deliriously overheated, shockingly blasphemous tale of sexual frenzy and demonic possession in a 17th century French convent

It's like they say in a laboratory trying to come up with every conceivable reason for Tron fans not to go see the new Tron movie.

This convo I had highlights the difference in what "respect your time" means in games. A lot of players want to trade time for in-game progress. It's purely transactional: 1 hour = 1 progress But I want to feel like my actions matter i.e. what I do with time creates progress, not time itself.
Aura (@aurahack.ca) reply parent
maybe it sounds dumb to say but that you can walk up to your ship and hit triangle to warp to the cockpit instead of having to go in and get to it every time is like... you don't understand the fantasy you're pitching!!
Aura (@aurahack.ca) reply parent
even if that kinda stuff was in there, i don't know how much it'd really save it? every time i try to go back i'm reminded that exploring one part of the galaxy has like five loading screens/transitions in between. there's no, like, sense of greater adventure in that thing

My recs for Bandcamp friday are that Mat Zo just put out a new EP mat-zo.bandcamp.com/album/stupid... and Diverse System, a Japanese indie label that puts out a ton of trance and house music, have a 30% discount on their library for today using the code "bc250905d" diversesystem.bandcamp.com/music
kuraine (@lena.fyi) reposted
also a fun reminder that when you buy the beastieball ost, you get all the new tracks we add to the game as they're added to the album last update was SPORTS MATCH AGAINST GOD... and the next milestone is coming up~

Reducing exposure to #wildfire smoke is the best way to protect your health. The harder you breathe, the more smoke you inhale. Take it easy during smoky periods, consider exercising inside and drink lots of water to help your body cope with the smoke. #airquality #metrovancouver

the fake scrandle they added to foodguessr is so bad. it gives you the answers for the normal mode!! also the logic in scrandle makes sense. is this more scran than the other. foodguessr's thing is way more subjective and wrong/stupid as a result. spam musubi has like 56% yes that's insane!!

you guys have no idea how desperate for this shit i am. id take another ridge racer 7 i'd take another repack of the same tracks ive been racing on for the previous 10 years i'd take the miserable chain nitrous system again just give me something
Aura (@aurahack.ca) reply parent
i can at least look back on it now with a lot of humor because playing through XII:TZA now has me looking back on 16 and realizing that wanting to make a mature and grim story really meant feeding people pablum and calling it a day
Aura (@aurahack.ca) reply parent
it's entirely the performance; like basically every character in that game has zero growth or development, except for the women who are all treated like garbage
Aura (@aurahack.ca) reply parent
NO!!!

Aura (@aurahack.ca) reply parent
ah, i thought it would have been substantially higher than that sorry--i'm afraid that's just what it costs to ship :( i don't operate at a volume that lets me do cheaper/free shipping.
Aura (@aurahack.ca) reply parent
not in the near future, no. :( the shipping *should* be distributed from Burnaby (its where i got my test prints from). if you're ordering multiple things it might choke the shipping because it's adding a different distribution centre.
Aura (@aurahack.ca) reply parent
im gonna assume there's a cheaper way of doing this than also buying the $150 ikea smart home hub??

Our resident cool guy @superdonk.bsky.social has spent a good amount of time in EA's live-service Skate reboot. Sounds like it's in top shape mechanically, but the weirdly soulless wrapper sits at odds with the traditional vibes of the series (and culture). thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/ea-s...

Hey, btw, where's the switch that lets people opt-out of starter packs?
Aura (@aurahack.ca) reply parent
I don't want to be added to a starter pack. I don't want to be mass-followed by people who just want to pad out their feed, I want people actually interested in my work and thoughts to follow me. Give people a toggle to opt-out of this!!

honestly 2 was still pretty grounded, 3 i think was the starting point of this stuff but even then it was mostly because of it being kinda glitchy? idk im in your camp i just want a skateboarding game. the stuff i was watching looked straight outta fall guys. super lame.

i admittedly havent watched quantum or spectre since release so maybe my tune'll change but NTTD felt excruciating to sit through
Aura (@aurahack.ca) reply parent
i think you can turn it off yeah, but it's the intended experience and that really proliferates to the rest of the game. the vibes are just off
Aura (@aurahack.ca) reply parent
i dont know what else i was expecting but seeing it play like a skate game in a new map is really exciting but everything else about it looks rancid. the hyper-sillicon valleyness of the city is awful, the GPS voice is awful, the whole thing looks and sounds like it was made by cops
Aura (@aurahack.ca)
watching gameplay of the new Skate game and i can't believe that game has Forza Horizon GPS lady talking to you the whole time AAA open world games just be a normal fucking videogame for once challenge (impossible)
Aura (@aurahack.ca) reply parent
im dreading getting around to the Craig ones again because CR and Skyfall are fun but NTTD is maybe one of the worst movies I've seen

After a lot of time spent this weekend, the system is almost completely functional. It calcs cap chance (based on LV, HP, Dist, Aware) & has a fail state. In the future, needs more camera angles and animations. Also missing the part where you compare stats afterward. #CherubDev #UE5 #GameDev
