this game is an all-time front-to-back banger - if you don't have it already you should snag it

An altered photo of Dr. Manhattan from the Watchmen comic series - the original panel is where Dr. Manhattan says "I am tired of this earth, these people" - the altered text reads "I am tired of this Spaghetti code. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of its lies"

The game my friends and I spent 8 years working on outside work is finally done! We're proud to present COLD CALLING, a real time puzzle game where you man the White House switchboard during a satirical, alternate history Cold War.

I don't know when or where, but the day is coming where my job will be to un-slopify some code and I'm gonna be real salty about it

Tuned in just for the halftime show, stayed to watch the announcers to just absolutely shit all over the patriots on live TV

Slowly, but surely! I only get an hour or so here or there to plug away at it, but I'm having fun

I don't often get motion sickness but I think all that work for a smooth single-to-splitscreen transition might be a dead end

anyway, this project remains a "fun" challenge of getting to hit a lot of places in Unreal I haven't touched ever or for a while.

Splitscreen is going pretty smoothly so far, but I wanted to work on transitions from splitscreen to single screen and back.

Let's just say... some work better than others

my "away from home" laptop has a similar situation - depending on the exact specs there are some companies that have 3rd party chargers that might cut that weight in half - I use a SlimQ and it's pricey but it's held up admirably for years

I should give that a shot - I feel so bad that every time I pet Bentio in the winter I have a 50/50 shot of giving him a little static shock

not to mention how expensive it is to keep a studio + servers and infrastructure alive. I hope they beat the odds, for the devs' sake, but they'll need some runway to keep it going until it finds the audience

Sadly (by no direct fault of their own) I think it will play out similar to other live-service shooters released in the past few years (including the last project I was on)

The games coming out now are better than ever, but people are playing new stuff far less, and PvP is just oversaturated

to be fair I do place most of the blame on the disgusting and toxic mob mentality that the internet (and assholes like disrespect) have intentionally fanned. "influencers" are just picking up on it too, vitriol gains clicks and money and creating a braindead whirlpool

the good "doctor" is devoid of any shred of empathy - he'll do anything to get the limelight for even a few minutes. What Geoff was thinking... beyond me, but they're both just have a very warped understanding of the world the rest of us live in

god i feel for this team - set up to fail by a bunch of non-dev vultures teeing them up for the internet's disdain. All for some views and clicks

not sure what happened where every other website I ever log into is now asking me to use 2-factor auth from my email instead of the password I have for the site but

i fucking hate it - stop this.
