I would prefer if Difficulty Settings (easy, med, hard) were replaced with Free Time preference eg: How Much Free Time Do You Have? -Very Little! -Lots! because ultimately I feel that it comes down to: how much patience you have for dying and restarting? getting spotted by guards, etc

Me and 9 games that shaped me Im trying to only list the games I was obsessed with. games where I'd go to school and just sit there drawing scenarios and characters and locations. didn't include PS2/dreamcast era, sticking strictly with the 90s despite how formative those consoles were for me

Doing some research Can anyone recommend a good Horror/Survival-Horror FPS that isn't: FEAR, Trepang, Stalker, Resident Evil, Crisol, Alien Isolation, Townfall or anything big. No joke suggestions either. I've played Geist.

thinking about Uncharted 2 and 3 multiplayer its a shame that unique, elegantly designed MP games live and die on the platforms they were conceived on Servers eventually shut down, theres no provision for User-run servers. When the plug is pulled, thats it, a piece of gaming history dies, hard

amazingly there are still active Quake III servers in 2026. I popped into a match of The Longest Yard last night, first time fighting humans and not bots in ...25 years? was shocked that I was able to survive and thrive in that arena, I assumed only super hardcore people were left in servers

Updating this while I sit by the phone waiting to hear back from a recruiter to see if they have anything yet, still. I feel like I'm losing what's left of my mind in search of something very basic that no longer exists. I always hate asking, but invoices are coming in too slow and too small. Still.

BTAS villians are genuinely terrifying, not because of some malicious violence, but because they are broken human beings — unable to cope with an uncaring, oft corrupt society. Batman often ends up performing de-escalation, rather than punitive violence. a fascinating portrayal

I guess the lesson is never trust xbox. they are the tiny visible corner of the Microsoft Iceberg, and they make no rational decisions as to their direction . just a soul-crushing juggernaut annihilating anything in its wake mobilized by pure weight and momentum, which was gathered decades ago

so at necrophone, we developed the term "Brain RAM" to describe the maximum numbers of THINGS you can hold in your brain at any given time. eg: variables, meshes, tasks, sounds, etc. theres a hard limit to the amount you can keep track of before you are overloaded what do other studios call this?
