>Bayonetta 2 gets Samus's Varia Suit instead of her Zero Suit
>Doom Eternal gets absolutely nothing
What was Nintendo thinking? Such a missed opportunity, The Zero Suit in Bayonetta 2 and a Doom x Metroid crossover make so much sense.

Anyone else here play this kino update? It fixed alot of issues I had with the base game, like the slow combat, the story is much clearer as well and learns into the schizo visuals the first game was lacking in which was nice

Why are gamers salesfags these days? Seems like everyone is obsessed with game popularity, like it's the only thing that matters is whether or not other people play the same games you do

When i present furry or are seen with furry, this always be:
Fasch idiot: "Ew furries are zoophile degenerates"

Me: ζζζζφ🐾


Hehe i made it in a random anarchy minecraft server

Again, same guy editing new Vegas. I discovered this shockingly common design flaw after observing how raiders fight in desert and urban environments.

I found that NPCs in most games tend to fail at finding cover in natural environments.

For context, game developers assign certain objects marks that tells an NPC “hey you can take cover here.” In gameplay, these markers allow NPCs to hide behind crates, cars, doorways, and other man-sized objects.

Now with terrain, normally there are plenty of hills, rocks, and depressions available for NPCs to take cover from. In Arma, players (hopefully) take advantage of these aspects to conceal and cover themselves during combat and patrols. In real life, there are entire systems dedicated to using terrain to cover oneself from enemy fire.

Now with most shooters, this basic feature is no where to be found. Yeah, even in milsims, I was surprised to find NPCs failing to recognize objects as simple as rocks as useful things to hide behind.

Why isn’t this something that is fixed in milsims right now. I can understand why this pathfinding feature may not be as common in arcade shooters, but for the more realistic games, missing something like this is a massive mistake.

What would the Kaiserreich/Kaiserredux versions of ᴉuᴉlossnW and Mosley react to their real life counterparts? Or Kaiserreich/Kaiserredux fascist react to real life versions of their ideology.

Getting Started
Please consult docs/contributing.md for more information! it contains information on how to compile the project on both Windows AND Linux

Picking up where Open V2 left off
The goal of Project Alice (named after Alice Roosevelt Longworth) is essentially to create a new version of open v2 – my earlier project to create a Victoria 2 clone – and then to finish a working, feature complete, version of the game. This means that, at least initially, there will be few departures from doing things as Victoria 2 did them, simply to keep the project focused and on track. Once a 1.0 is complete, we can then use it as a playground for new experiments. As of July 2023, I have basically caught up to where open v2 was, minus some deficiencies in the ui.

I hope to find a few people to form an art team that can recreate the assets that Victoria 2 uses to give this project its own distinctive visual identity. I know that is a big ask, but on the other hand, there will be no 3d modeling required. We already have access to a set of new flags that we can use, courtesy of the SOE project.

In comparison to other projects
In comparison to SOE (Symphony of Empires) this project is a more direct Victoria 2 clone, while SOE is its own game. Nevertheless, I tend to think of it as a sister project. We do have some people here involved with both (I myself make the occasional suggestion there), and if you see something that we make that they could use, I am sure that they would appreciate the contribution. Likewise, we will be using at least some of their work.

With regards to the OpenVic2 project, although it "marketed" as a Victoria 2 "clone," that isn't what they are working towards creating. Instead, they intend to provide an entirely new set of assets, including events, decisions, etc., which will make their project more of a Victoria 2-ish game. It is also run with a very different managerial style. If you are interested in both Project Alice and OpenVic2, I suggest spending time with both teams or even joining both projects.

The book series is far more explicitly fascist than warhammer ever could be. Unlike the imperium, the Terran federation started off as a fascist organization and does not possess any of the art or emblems representing human history that war hammer has. There is no inquisition, there is only fascist police officers dressed in parsimonious uniforms. The Terran federation never establishes any diplomacy with any of the aliens it encounters. Unlike how the imperium learned to at least coexist with peaceful aliens, the Terran federation tried obliterating everything it saw. The federation doesn’t even use melee weapons that at least bring historical vibes and art. All you get are bombs, WMDs, and assault rifles.

The bugs are even portrayed in a more biased manner than the other aliens. Anti-Soviet propaganda is everywhere in these books. The bugs are regularly compared to Chinese people. This makes sense given how strong anti-sino sentiment was when this book was written, but my god, the insults get so fucking petty.

Also the first book is one and completely obvious infantry recruitment ad. Like, there is no point in the first book where it tries to discourage the reader from joining the army. It’s the fucking milsim era of shooters all over again but with Cold War era rhetoric.

what were some notable ragequit moments you've had in videogames?

I've been playing Diablo II (the original) for the first time, and on act 3 there's a random dungeon I went in where RIGHT AT THE FUCKING ENTRANCE there are like 15 snake enemies that IMMEDIATELY gang up on you and spam you with attacks, killing you LITERALLY in 1 to 2 seconds max. I have lost a lot of gear there trying to recover the loot in the dozens of bodies that I left there after dying many times to these extremely cheap snakes.

How can a game that's so good have such comical difficulty spikes out of nowhere? You're breezing through the game, and then suddenly a mob of roided up monsters come out of the shadows and fold you like a lawn chair
