Alex @alexdass.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Oh and when I say "can" here, I mean "has". People that actually know their shit have checked these trash R&C repos for this kind of stuff. 000
Alex @alexdass.bsky.social · 08/10/2026AI literally can hallucinate such a thing by creating an impossible combination of compiler and linker usage and modifying the output of the toolchain after the fact. Well, I suppose some of this isn't so much AI hallucination but more so just people being disingenuous (read: lying). 200

Reposted by AlexLady Emily ☄️ @ladyemily.nebula.tv · 11/02/2026I feel so bad for the devs, both for getting fired so quickly and for what I can only imagine are the psychological ramifications of spending years working on a game in such a fickle genre with so many high profile failures to the point where I have to imagine this outcome must have felt inevitable 7710122

Alex @alexdass.bsky.social · 24/01/2026This 'problem' is entirely contained within Undertale/Deltarune. Many indies partner with them because they are good to work with and in fact work very well. If it weren't for them, those indies wouldn't be able to make much (if any) money from their musical work at all. 110

Alex @alexdass.bsky.social · 14/10/2025it definitely plays worse, just in general. the subtlety and design intention of the original games' various gameplay mechanics and interactions are just not there. no homework was done, it's a very surface-level aping of the games. 090

Alex @alexdass.bsky.social · 12/10/2025it wasn't designed with holding clutch in mind in the first place. it making the fight easier is an accident we accepted. that perspective is founded on such bad faith... the vast majority of people like the game, and that fight, and updates where criticism is addressed are not proof the game is bad 100
Alex @alexdass.bsky.social · 12/10/2025this is such a hostile and unhelpful thread lol it is not "unacceptable" that a control that is not once necessary to know of was not tutorialized it is completely valid game design to want players to figure out controls on their own. this is, in fact, how nearly every videogame works. 100
