This matters less if your parameters are handled automatically by the game. For example, your character gains a level and are allocated a developer-determined selection stats based on their role. In this case, significance is gauged and determined by the developer, so modifiers are less integral.

Consider soulslike games. The average player barely understands the depth of each stat and how significant each stat is. They get a general feeling, but otherwise don't give much of a shit. If they do give a shit, it takes build-makers and meticulous planning to get the right outcome.

"How do I design stats for an RPG?" is a question I'm sure many people have asked over the years. At the very least, it is a question a lot of people should have asked more, because more often than not, stat systems are impenetrably terrible and overly complicated.

If a developer can't fit their experience in its entirety within a reasonable amount of time, then they can fuck off. If a player can't make time for an experience designed to be enjoyed within a reasonable amount of time, then they can similarly fuck off. We are not entitled to enjoy everything.

I don't know why, but this whole sequence makes me intensely emotional. The pure rage of a man utterly fed up by his absurd circumstances.

I'm discovering in Godot that AnimatedSprite2D is a trap and that you should just use an Animation Player with a regular Sprite2D and it's way way way easier, because Sprite2D has convenient exposed animation properties anyway.

It's like the time they made the DC super hero suits too detailed. Thing are often iconic in part because they're simple. Making them overly detailed takes away what makes them endearing and recognizable.

It's disappointing, because you can see the artistic design beneath the layers of unnecessary distracting detail.

When working within limitations in order to stoke creativity, it should always be kept in mind that the limitation should sometimes be broken. It's not "I shouldn't exceed this limitation," it's "do I have a good reason to exceed this limitation?"

REBOUNDER. A new game developed by ThirtyThree, published by Aggro Crab. Rebounder is a hand-crafted precision platformer about a roughneck worker recruited for a hazardous job on a distant planet. Nail the run. Deliver your line. Dropping 2027.

I don't think any legacy dungeon in Elden Ring was as good as Stormveil. It's insane how many shortcuts and alternate routes you can take through that place. The rest, despite being cool, are a lot more linear. Stormveil has so much crazy parkour bullshit.

Setting the name of your resource with the @tool annotation and setters calling a "name_object" method that references all of your parameters gets you the closest thing to a table you're gonna find in Godot. Don't forget to reload the project to get any new tool scripts running. #godotengine

Just a little more reorganization and it'd be perfect. Too many distracting, awkwardly placed components. "Size" shouldn't separate the collection name and elements. Having the add and size settings next to the collection makes it clearer what they manipulate. #godotengine

I feel like the "Zoomer Stare" phenomenon is just a result of older generations being unable to gauge interest in engaging with them without being told to fuck off.

Tried some Minecraft: Matcha-Flavored datapack. Definitely on track to become something incredible. Getting rid of the food-stamina and experience systems make the game way less tedious, and the cooking system and new food system are way more interesting than potions.

I find less and less value in multiplayer games over time. Facilitating the addition of community always seems to take priority over game design, always to its detriment. Design becomes stagnant, like a still pool, rife with pestilence and the amphibians content to feed on it.

Odyssey was...fine. Didn't really love it or hate it. Modern dialogue took me out of it a bit, and the shaky blurry action just make me roll my eyes every time. Performances were hit and miss. Every time I see Tom Holland it's like "Ooh, here comes the little baby man to do his performance."
