good design: the developers of N++ found that a lot of playtesters felt like they sucked at the game because they kept dying, so they made it so that the demos that play on the title screen are all of the character failing. you'll never see the ninja on the menu reach the exit. it's as if to say "don't worry, you're supposed to die a lot. you'll get there."
hilarious design: as you play the game, those demos get replaced with your own fuckups
@publicvoit alright that's actually pretty rad

Now, if this isn't the coolest thing you've seen today then you need to close the refrigerator. It's an animation of how bridges were built in Central Europe in the middle-ages.
@ifixcoinops for real. I used to call that particular pc "Bastard" until I realised that the reason it kept crashing so much was because the heatsink was literally only held on by sheer willpower and rotting thermal paste. the clips were just... gone. and this was a Cyrix processor ... soo...
Poor thing got retroactively renamed to Cirno after I realised that. She was trying her best. ;w;
@ifixcoinops and it was one of those awful cases where to get the side of the case off and on you had to slide it into place and if you got it even slightly wrong, it was really hard to get off to set back in place again
@ifixcoinops i dunno i once had a case which literally was like trying to unpack a box made of razorblades because whoever made it, the inner frame was bare metal and it got SHARP AS HELL. I had so many damn cuts from the damn thing just trying to open and close it
Facebook trying to police adults in VR
Eat shit and die Zuckerfuck. If me and a friend want to get consensually touchy in VR in a private space there is nothing you can do to stop us, and no matter how much you try to act like the dictator of VR space all you’re going to do is push people to jailbreak and home brew the shit out of every device you put on the market.
@SerenaBeancatte@chitter.xyz it was literally "what if the first game's final boss, but double the amount of targets, in a tiny little friggin room, where you have to aim way up to see the targets, AND you're constnatly having explosives thrown at you from a fixed position you can't shoot back at and can't avoid"
fuuuuck Max Payne 2 for that shit
@SerenaBeancatte@chitter.xyz Same feelings I have bout Max Payne 2. Enjoyed the gameplay of the first one, got the second, played the hell outta it, enjoyed it more, got to the final boss and good LORD SO MUCH BULLSHIT THAT FINAL BOSS WAS.
i just ended up watching a fucking video of it and.. guh. just... guh. meh. blargh. fuck. egh. wish I hadn't put all that effort into it int he first place.

I really like the "Can you beat [Game] with(out) [item/action]?" style challenge runs of games, especially gamechamp3000's videos, so you could imagine my surprise when I found out after like a year of following them that they're non binary and use she/they pronouns, like that's really cool, trans folks really are just way funnier than cis people.
@monorail Daisy heading towards that cliff like "guess I'll die" 🤷♀️
