The only question I have is the one they don’t want to hear… :/

When has sticking your head in the sand ever worked… but alright, you don’t want to talk to people who disagree with you. Got it. Have a good one.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Yeah, that might have been the reason. And maybe also Epic boasting about their 12% cut.

Meta sold something like 30 million units. I believe Valve never cracked even the first million with the Index. Yes, they absolutely are. Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t make it any less true.

Dude, Meta is by far the most successful VR hardware manufacturer. What do you mean we aren’t buying? Yes, „we“ will, just like the last two times.

It’s still true. They are one of the most profitable companies (per capita) in the world. They clearly could lower the fee if they wanted to. But they’re a quasi-monopoly and really don’t have to do anything they don’t want to.

Valve does something like this as well. The big AAA games only pay 20%. The small indie devs who don’t teach the threshold pay the full 30%. Should clearly be the other way around.

They’re doing this while the Stop Kiling Games thing is going on. Shows how little they fear it.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Ok, now I really have to play it and see for myself.
010
KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
How did that happen? Did you make the engine first for fun and then decided to make a full game with it? Or was it necessary, because something didn’t work well enough with Unity/Godot/whatever?

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
That’s the important part!

I always think I am a bad programmer. And I probably am. But whenever we get a new guy and I see his code and it’s more or less the same stuff I’m doing - I’m thinking maybe I’m not the worst after all. 🤪

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Yeah well, bring it to PC or I just don’t care.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Oh, I see. Didn’t catch that one before.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
The news was that the devs are worried about lay offs. Not that they already happened.

Excuse me? You’re supposed to love capitalism and only complain about all the horrible things it causes, but never capitalism itself. Leave our god alone!

Never played it myself. Maybe I should. I just know I never liked tank controls in 3D games (well, other than actual tank games, I guess). It’s a product of its time, I get that. 3D controls just weren’t fully figured out back then (which goes for hard- and software).
120
KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I could imagine a remaster that modernizes the controls, similar to the Tomb Raider Remaster a while back. Only problem with that is that Remasters are usually three times as expensive as they should be. :/
020
KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
That was the 3D one with the tank controls? Nah, I prefer traditional Megaman (even if I’m super bad in it).

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I am not interested in the game.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
It’s a video game. Not everything has to be a political statement. People aren’t sheep just because they bought a video game they like. I’m sure you have done that, too. Maybe get off your high horse and direct your attention to the ones responsible, not the consumers.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
It’ll trickle down, I promise!

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I’m no expert, but I would disagree until proven otherwise. Clearly the cheats are working. Clearly the devs have a hard time combatting cheats even with kernel-level software in some cases.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Not that hard? I think it’s incredibly hard.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Couldn’t tell you, I haven’t played it yet myself. Waiting for when I’m in the mood.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
There is already something else. Check out Deltarune.

If it’s not an RTS, then StarCraft is not back.

Yes, because some early parts are still polytheistic, because the change to strict monotheism wasn’t sudden.There is talk of a council of gods and such. This book is a lose collection of books by different authors and full of errors. It’s not worth to even discuss what it says about any modern issue

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Still haven’t watched that third season. I hear it’s very good.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Constantly. 😬

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Sure, it’s just a (very complex) text transformer. It also works better than googling and browsing through 10 results that are all about something else. ^^ I have to work with MFC, and I’m telling you it’s a godsend for that. Even though it can make mistakes, it gets me there faster overall.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Still one of the best movies of all time!

What’s better than selling everyone one graphics card - exactly!

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
I just had a case last week where I almost forgot to make a int unsigned, which would then have made problems in a few years when that counter will exceed 2^32… 🫣

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
You no fun at parties, are you…

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
It’s really not. It’s a gigantic living open world full of years of hand-crafted art. A few AI generated paintings don’t change that.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
On the naughty list I go then… 🫣

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Exactly. Graphics are very important for games. Don’t believe me? Then have fun playing text adventures for the rest of your life. ;) This started out as „graphics are not as important as gameplay“, but the internet perverted it to „graphics are completely unimportant“. Two very different things.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
I’d argue that graphics were never as much of a problem as during the PS3/360 era, when games traded performance for fidelity and you ended up with 20fps experiences. Both following generations aimed to double the performance to 60fps, which make them vastly superior in graphics and latency.
030
KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Yes, in software development that’s exactly what it’s good for.
010
KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
We’re still playing SC2 once a week. So yeah, bring it on. But let’s make a good RTS here, not a microtransaction fest.
000
KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Well, I can have issues with the lighting and discuss that with people, without disliking the game because of it. I still like the whole rest of the game. That’s maybe a misconception online. People may seem as if they only care about RT, because at that time it’s the only opinion you read from them
000
KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
It doesn’t. I completely agree. But I also think no one really ever claims that it does. Graphics are important, but not the most important aspect. What I’ve seen way too often is people being accused of thinking it’s the most important, when they were just discussing and not claiming that at all.
000
KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
So I already know I’ll never finish it. ^^

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
Bad graphics have made games less fun, though. Whether that’s a bad art style, bad performance or simply outdated graphics that fail to create the necessary atmosphere. Graphics are very important.

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
One of my favorite movies.
010
KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
It was, sure. As someone who dabbled in 3D rendering in the early to mid 90s, I can also appreciate the work that was put into it, with none of the modern tools that make life easy. But still, the lighting quality alone is so bad that it hurts the immersion. Maybe they should have used it…
000
KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
I actually watched that one yesterday. Those graphics are so bad in comparison. It was definitely too early, yet they used their CGI extensively throughout the movie. At least they did not lack confidence!

KillingArts @killingarts.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
You can actually thank Valve for that. They made digital popular, but they took the approximate cost for production and distribution and made it their fee.
