It feels like a really brute force way of changing the game instead of anything else. I was meaning to get back into dbd recently but this potential change has me groaning. Also, eugh the Myers changes feel like they gut his identity.

From a meta stand point I do think it's just really really funny to think of a situation where like the protagonist of a horror film get to argue about their killers unfair advantage.

Going away for vacation this week so I probably won't be very active on here. Hopefully when I get back I can get right back to streaming. There's far far too many games out right now I want to play.

Peripeteia has been on my list for a bit and I am still eyeing it up but I may wait until the holiday season to see how it's progressed. Anyone got some other imm sims to add to my lists?

Without getting into it too much my cynicism is pretty high for the current gov. Homelessness tends to just get shoved around as a problem but at least blue states are likely to keep local programs.
EarthMachine (@terramachina.bsky.social) reply parent
I am going to be thinking about this for too long today. Is this advice from mountain sex hermits? What are the other activities? I wonder if there's someone out there who does need electricity for sex for some reason....
EarthMachine (@terramachina.bsky.social) reply parent
Both require time and money. We are at a point where we as a society should absolutely see value in it but there's a lot of selfishness.
EarthMachine (@terramachina.bsky.social) reply parent
Homelessness is an ironically really complex issue with a simple solution... throwing money at it. It's just not the solution people want to hear. There are people who legit need help and there are people who functionally can't healthily exist in society.

Also, straight up hate the Myers changes. Voids his entire theme. This will wind up butchering uniqueness in the game.
EarthMachine (@terramachina.bsky.social) reply parent
The sluggign changes are okish but this tunneling is all over kill and it's just going to force the game into very specific play styling. They NEED to change the core game instead of this band aid approach but I am guessing they don't have the time or resources. Maybe if there's ever a DBD2...
EarthMachine (@terramachina.bsky.social) reply parent
Instead of forcing players into gameplay paths, I wish they'd focus on adding more diversity. The game needs new objectives and other things instead of really forced anti slugging/tunneling that directly contradict character's theming.
EarthMachine (@terramachina.bsky.social)
The new Dead by Daylight changes sound pretty bad to me. Like a really awful bandaid to a known issue with gameplay mechanics. It's a very bizarre nerf too thematically. It's like they really can't figure out how to fix problems that have been plaguing the gameplay loop for ages.

Warframe is a game full of interesting experimental modes and gameplay that just never really got fleshed out properly. It makes it really unique but also kinda obtuse and busted.
EarthMachine (@terramachina.bsky.social) reply parent
Basically large bosses won't let you just detonate them because it invalidates their mechanics but the game has weird insta kill hits so it's a tedious battle of survival against a lot of them. You make hyper builds that just feel wrong or cheesy.
EarthMachine (@terramachina.bsky.social)
Getting more into late game Warframe has exposed some of it's pretty annoying flaws. Damage attenuation, shield gating etc are all pretty obnoxious mechanics. Still fun but a lot of things they stuck in this game feel like a band aid solution.

idk I keep hearing "most developers are using AI" and then no developers I speak to, AAA or indie, want anything to do with it.

There's a broader point here too. I'm autistic and sometimes have shutdowns where I can't speak, or periods of overwhelm where my syntax abandons me. Communication is what we should care about and communication is more than language. And yes I'm saying this with my language researcher hat on.
