The new Flappy Bird game has a hidden secret: crypto
  • I had a bad feeling when I saw another developer had picked it up. This sounds worse than I imagined.

  • You got the answer right there, it’s cross play. When you have child in the family who wants to play Minecraft on their iPad, and a parent who would like to join in on their Mac, you just can’t do it. And that stinks.

    It also feels like relatively low-hanging fruit from a development perspective.

    What is everyone reading (09/01/2024)
  • Couple nights ago I finished Locke and Key. Pretty solid, I’m satisfied with how it ended.

    Monstress #54 came out a few days ago and continues to be great. I wish I saw this comic getting more attention than it does cause it rules.

    My daughter and I are up to volume 4 of Witch Hat Atelier. Very cute, and I like the unique approach to magic in that world.

    Finally, I have Pluto volumes 7 and 8 that I need to crack open. Volume 6 left on a bit of a depressing note.

    Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic partnership agreement on Control 2 and bringing Control and Alan Wake to film and television
  • I loved Control, but I’m feeling kinda meh about a TV show. If it does happen I’ll keep an open mind and check it out.

    Absolutely looking forward to Control 2 however.

    Sea of Stars – Throes of the Watchmaker DLC – Indie World Showcase 8.27.2024
  • Agreeing with all these comments. The game started off really strong in my opinion, but it falls flat very hard after a certain point. Both from a writing perspective and in the combat variety.

    The interrupts were interesting to me because I hadn’t seen a mechanic quite like that before. But I suppose it’s true that once you see an enemy charging up there is essentially just one “correct” choice to make, which limits what choices you actually have and puts you on a rail.

  • Sooooo many moonerangs. That was a big complaint of mine as well. The combat doesn’t really evolve much.

    When's the last time you asked a questions on StackOverflow?
  • I asked and answered a small handful of questions in the mid 20-teens but not really much since. I still wind up finding good answers there on a semi regular basis, though.

    I just looked in my profile and my last question was in 2017. I received a holier than thou “what you’re trying to do is wrong” type of response and finally solved it with the help of a coworker who actually cared.

    What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?
  • I would love to see a return of Final Fantasy Tactics. It doesn’t necessarily have to take place in the same timeline, just a new take on the same mechanics and style.

    Report: Marvel chose RDJ as Doctor Doom Over Mads Mikkelsen to Play it Safe
  • What a shame, he would have been a delightful pick.

    Funny enough I completely forgot he was in Doctor Strange until reading the article. Goes to show how forgettable some of the villains have been, I suppose.

    My feeling on the RDJ as Doom news was that this is absolutely Marvel in panic mode. The last few years have been rough going and now they’re hoping to replay the hits.

    Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [Week 34]
  • We recently watched Dungeon Meshi and Spy x Family with our kid and both were a big hit. I’m curious if anyone has recs for shows with a similar vibe and maturity level. I liked that both shows have comedy, positive messages, and light drama.

    The violence in dunmeshi was borderline at times but overall not a problem as long as it’s not more much than that.

    What games popularized certain mechanics?
  • I don’t know what game first came up with it, but Super Mario RPG was the first time I saw timed hits for attack and defense in a JRPG. While the mechanic isn’t exactly ubiquitous it has popped up in a handful of other games over the years and it always reminds me of that game.
