There's a level in ION Fury (Personal fav) called "Heskel's House of Horrors" where you can shoot the moon in the skybox. It says ouch several times before falling don, exploding, and dropping items. I'll snag a pic later.

I highly advise anyone who is a fan a arty story games and skating to go try out the demo for "Skate Story". I didn't play it fully as I already know I'm going to enjoy it highly. Everyone involved in this should be proud and I can't praise the soundtrack enough!

I meant "pricks" not "prices"

Take care of yourself man and never stop being you and creative. Leaving "the space" or whatever is exactly what these prices want. I'm aware it's hard, especially on mental health, but never let that completely stop you. Let your voice be heard!
Apologies for ramble, enjoy your day man.

I hope you're able to ignore them and keep being you man. You have my condolences as I also went down a bad pipeline this week in a similar vein.
Fuck these people.

Sunlust map 8 "Oneira"
A haunting soundtrack follows us around in this short spitfire of a map. Tight fights that rely on your ability to make other monsters fight Cyberdemons for you while you clean up and avoid scraps. Being short, death and failure don't seem so bad. Time to learn!

I look forward to it. Was a very welcome surprise to play during my birthday vacation. Excellent stuff.

Pharmacy Fruitbat @pharmacyfruitbat.bsky.social · 2d

I need to play it period.

Fan of the sharp edges and classic purple and yellow.
Design looks like a sick art asset for a puzzle!

Apologies, I get that. A failed attempt at a joke about overthinking something.
Like when you echochamber in your head and it sounds good, then you explain it to someone and they have no idea what you're talking about.

I hope you find balance man.

Don't get lost in the sauce too much. If you "refine" the line too much, it'll just be powder to be blown away by people who will call you elitist. Unfortunately.
Making approachable discourse for those who normally don't participate is hard though. Especially in the gaming space I find.

SUNLUST map 7 "Total Enclosure"
Tight encounters and overall short level. What's this?! You only have half the kills? Find several hidden switches to secrets to find the actual secret, the other half of the kills as your reward in one tough fight with a BFG!
A teacher for proper BFG use.

I like how the top right looks like they just formed the body and are confused.

I wouldn't say their low effort. They look nice and varied, honestly.

I think lazy and money hungry is apt.

There's a level of nuance lost when attempting discussion about game design.
My personal favorite is when I like to explain when making a game "easier" is nebulous and can make a game lose it's identity.As one example.
As always I try my best to encourage healthy discourse and avoid toxicity.

Booted up "Beyond Sunset" to mess around in as it's my next game visit after current one and I just had to highlight these excellent controller options.
This is how it's done and it's feels so smooth! Only downside is you have to really fine tune it manually. Still amazing.

It's concerning. This is my first ever social media platform and I'm glad to see people are calling the CEO out.

Spent way too long on this and honestly feel off about it.
Regardless, a CD cover mock to start off October!

Hope it passes man.

A minor gripe with CULTIC is the controller feel and settings aren't quite there. It's enough and I adapted, but I suppose the vast options and buttery smooth precision of games like Ion Fury, Left 4 Dead 2, and the Quake 2 remaster have spoiled me for what PEAK controller support and feel can be.
