i would like to lightly encourage 3d platformer devs to not make the entire stage model collidable a bit more often because nothing kills my flow more than when i bump into grass or other details and get stopped in my tracks or flung in some random direction please and thank you

i think i just need to stop looking at any cool projects or websites anymore. what do you mean you had to vibecode a fucking shiny hunting counter. its literally an image and a number that goes up. it would take a child five minutes to make. modern internet fucking sucks man.

hard drive now seems to be officially super duper mega dead :( gutted the one from my old computer and running ubuntu for the next while i guess until i can afford a new one. hopefully i can find a way to access and recover a few things, but seems like it kills the system trying to read/write at all

I’ll keep using the amiibo every play session from here on and see how fucked the later party member’s numbers are. Chances are this’ll be patched with the other amiibo bugs. I wonder how this could impact speedruns too.

Terravin @terravin.ca · 13/08/2026

I kinda noticed this way earlier on too when Nia first joins the party in Chapter 1, I used amiibo prior to her joining and her WP was also skewed way higher than it should have been, though obviously not to the same degree. Not sure if SP has the same effect but it wouldn’t shock me if it does.

Terravin @terravin.ca · 13/08/2026

For the record, this is a standard new game, not new game plus. I shouldn’t have enough WP with a brand new character to literally max out their moves immediately. I wonder what the hell is happening in the math to cause such an insane difference.

100

Terravin @terravin.ca · 13/08/2026

Very late getting back to the game but we go again. Didn’t get the 1/1000 right away, but now that I’ve got vandham I think the amiibo rewards are bugged even more than people have realized. I’ve gotten some WP a few times over the last couple weeks but not literal thousands worth of it like this.

*another project I was interested in has been revealed to be vibe coded slop again and like always the dev gets all high and mighty over it fuck man I just want to be able to look at things and be happy*

they have somehow made reddit even worse by making a pop up to create an account after you've been on a page for more than 15 seconds, and you cant close it. god forbid im trying to troubleshoot something and need to read anything in detail

Terravin @terravin.ca · 06/08/2026

I’m beginning to absolutely loathe how much ai has spread into more niche projects. I swear most of the cool VR and homebrew things I see anymore are made with slop, and these communities are small enough no one is able to hold them to better standards. Really sucks to see such cool ideas wasted.

Terravin @terravin.ca · 31/07/2026

It’s insane how fast the time has gone by, i was literally the same age as Rex when the game came out

Terravin @terravin.ca · 30/07/2026

i said this and immediately had to go to the store and ended up playing splatoon raiders when i got home whoops guess we'll see about that sometime next week

110

Terravin @terravin.ca · 30/07/2026

about to reach the point in the game you unlock core crystals and bonding blades, i've heard the drop rates for rare blades have seemingly been buffed to hell with people apparently getting 15 rare blades, including the 1/1000 before the end of chapter 2. lets see if i'll finally get it myself now

110

Terravin @terravin.ca · 30/07/2026

used this as an excuse to try out bringer of chaos difficuly (hard mode) and holy fuck im tapping out before i even reach the chapter 1 boss, this was designed for NG+ and having access to your entire arsenal not a brand new playthrough

Terravin @terravin.ca · 30/07/2026

I feel like a kid again seeing this game look this good god I love xenoblade 2. Even found some dialogue I’ve never seen before and noticed there’s just a random Lv 76 enemy out in the sea just because, you can’t fight while swimming and it doesn’t get aggressive it’s just there for detail I love it

Happy 12th anniversary, Freedom Planet! I've grown a lot as a game dev and person since I worked on this game, but it will always hold a special place in my heart as the game that changed my life. Thank you for playing it and for supporting me. I'll never stop creating as long as I'm able to. 💜

I watched the angry birds 2 movie tonight and I would like to apologize to everyone that enjoyed the Minecraft movie that I ever gave shit to. It can be so much worse than I ever realized

just found this old clip from when i played superstars at launch god this game's bosses really soured the entire thing

everyone talks about how paying for online on consoles is stupid but paying for a fucking name change is just as, if not more stupid. its a string of like 15 characters max it should not be an hours worth of pay for an entirely automated service fuck you

deltarune chapter 5 secret boss thoughts in the alt text of the image

Normal Alt Text: Pink smiley face on the default Bluesky background

Deltarune Chapter 5 Secret Boss: I’m so fucking happy mew mew is relevant again I was so excited for more art of her when undertale on switch happened and then like nothing came of it and I was so disappointed but now she’s everywhere and I’m eating soooo gooodddddd i've waited years for this and its been worth it

230

Terravin @terravin.ca · 29/06/2026

I only worry cause I know there’s at least one friend that follows me here that hasn’t had the time to play it and I’d really hate to be the one to spoil them

220

Terravin @terravin.ca · 28/06/2026

Spoilers in alt text is a great idea actually, don’t know what rot13 is though never heard of it

220

Terravin @terravin.ca · 28/06/2026

how do I post deltarune spoilers without potentially ruining things for others can I spam line breaks and it’ll add a “read more” prompt or am I fucked

Terravin @terravin.ca · 25/06/2026

coming back now after sleeping on it and man it all genuinely feels like it was a dream, that none of it was real. how did he do it and please tell me he'll do it again

Terravin @terravin.ca · 25/06/2026

I think chapter 5 is my new favorite by a lot in every regard holy shit man

Terravin @terravin.ca · 23/06/2026

I didn’t realize the question changed I thought it was another resending of the original email I’m sorry @tobyfox.undertale.com for fitting the undertale fan stereotype I’ll proceed to misgender Kris next

031

Terravin @terravin.ca · 09/06/2026

Might get going insane but it seems like characters don’t auto attack after using an art until you move now. Might’ve always been this way and I never noticed until now though.

000

Terravin @terravin.ca · 09/06/2026

Okay very cool thing with the rumble during cutscenes, it mimics a heartbeat when Shulk is having his future visions I like that a lot. Cutscenes are still really great to see at 60fps, haven’t noticed any more drops so hopefully it’s just the intro that suffered.

100

Terravin @terravin.ca · 09/06/2026

Voiced heart-to-hearts are very welcome, it always felt a bit awkward going back to this game compared to the others and watching these scenes. Even cooler they even got the original VAs back for them too (from what I can see)

100

Terravin @terravin.ca · 09/06/2026

From what I’ve been reading seems like the Xenoblade amiibo just give you slightly more rewards, nothing special. Would’ve been cool to get weapons skins maybe but oh well.

110

Terravin @terravin.ca · 09/06/2026

I'll probably end up making this a whole thread with my thoughts as I go so enjoy that I guess. Also I noticed there's something about updated amiibo stuff if you scan XC amiibo specifically? Scanned a few and nothing special seemed to happen, but that might be because I'm still in the early game.

100

Terravin @terravin.ca · 09/06/2026

Just got through the intro for Xenoblade 1 Switch 2 and I can't lie I was a bit disappointed seeing the cutscenes drop back to 30fps when there was a bit of action on screen. Rumble is neat though and so far actual combat seems like it stays at 60, hope that stays true as I keep going.

Seeing clips of people struggling with bosses in Mina the Hollower with like twice the health I had when I fought them and won first try, thinking “man some people suck huh” But then I thought about it more and no I might actually just be that cracked Anyways game good starting new game plus tmrw

*they found an archive from 2012 with most of the assets it’s fucking happening* Apparently it’s not everything but they’ve been able to reconstruct a ton of the minigames and such already, I might actually get to play this again

Terravin @terravin.ca · 19/05/2026

Theatres should add a button to the seats to call a staff member in because I guarantee the reason so many annoying people get away with their garbage is because people don’t want to miss a few minutes of the movie to deal with them

calling anything and everything made from the original doom engine an "srb2-like" from now on

020

Terravin @terravin.ca · 18/05/2026

It’s genuinely so depressing to see how many people will look at something somebody made, tell them they made it wrong, and send death threats like it’s no big deal. Even worse when they get to spin a narrative to make the artist look like the one in the wrong for just creating in the first place.

mindlessly scrolling through my steam friend list cause im bored and seeing "last online 6 years ago" and "9 years ago" really does boggle the mind some like i dont even remember who you were or what you're like now, is this what dementia feels like

010

Terravin @terravin.ca · 13/05/2026

Tried this, after some fiddling around I got the game to recognize the controller as its own device, but now none of my inputs go through when I select that controller. Really weird since without Steam everything just works out of the box. Appreciate the advice though, hope it helps someone else.

100

Terravin @terravin.ca · 13/05/2026

If there's a place to forward this kind of issue to Valve and see if something can be done about it I'd love to know. Stuff like this has apparently been a pain point for years so I honestly don't expect much to come of it but hey, the louder people are the more likely they'll do something.

000

Terravin @terravin.ca · 13/05/2026

If anyone with the same kind of issue sees this, I used HidHide (github.com/nefarius/Hid...) to blacklist Steam from seeing my controller. This Reddit thread can help TLDR the basic setup. (www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeag...) Not a perfect solution, but it's the best I can do for right now.

I had to download another program just to block Steam from seeing the device altogether so the motion control would properly pass through, but now I lose out on every feature SI would've given me like action sets and mapping buttons to keyboard commands.

100

Terravin @terravin.ca · 13/05/2026

Supposedly there is (or was) a button in the configuration to hide a controller from SI to remedy this, but for some unknown reason it just doesn't show up for this controller.
