Game developer: let’s map light attack to right bumper and heavy attack right trigger

Gamers: IS THIS ANOTHER SOULS LIKE???!?

Endless Mode @endlessmode.bsky.social · 7d

Some have called Silent Hill f a "soulslike" due to a few similarities to Dark Souls. Is that a fair assessment, though? How much "souls" is in the new Silent Hill, anyway? @gracemachine.bsky.social investigates. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

Is It Accurate to Call Silent Hill f a "Soulslike"?

Silent Hill f bears some similarities with Dark Souls, but is it constructive to call the survival horror game a "soulslike"?

Decided to try something a little different so I’m launching a sports podcast next week focused on the @warriors-nba.bsky.social. It explores the Bay Area and basketball culture through the lens of my favorite team. Hope you can check it out!

Black Ops 7 is solid. Guns feel balanced, movement tweaks are smart, and the maps are well designed. A noticeable improvement over MW3 and BO6 multiplayer.

But, like, there’s no way it’s going to pull me away from Battlefield 6.

A lot of people assume that Amsterdam has been biketopia since time immemorial but it actually was car hell for decades before the citizens became fed up with car fatalities and forced the government to rebuild everything around mass transit and bikes. It took time and will, but they did it.

Driving didn’t “naturally” become inevitable. We designed a society that make driving inevitable in most places. We can design something different

What you can’t see is that every bit of that graphic is modular and customizable within Premiere and the animation automatically adjusts and scales to our needs. It’s truly made our lives so, so much easier.

Cameron has done incredible work over the past few months for us! Absolutely love how this came together.

Cameron Kennedy @cameronken.com · 14d

It's probably a lil navel gazey but I love seeing how the graphics I made end up getting used. The GS review of Yotei is probably my favourite for this one.
