Phineaz I’m pretty sure we’re witnessing aggressive retaliation from the bots and squids. In HD1 Super Earth committed genocide trying to exterminate the squids and bots because the squids were an advanced PEACEFUL alien race that SE didn’t have total control over, and the bots (then cyborgs) were a SE experiment that lead to an egalitarian communist society. The bots and squids are fighting back ferociously because what the fuck else do you do when faced with genocide

Looks like Trump is about to throw Hegseth under the garbage truck.

A tweet from Acyn shows a transcript of a reporter questioning Donald Trump about strikes and controversy involving Pete Hegseth. Trump repeatedly says he doesn’t know anything about it and that Hegseth denied it. Below the text is a photo of Trump speaking to reporters in a hallway, holding a microphone close to his face with a presidential seal backdrop visible behind him.

I kinda wanna create a 'dumb fun' game!

The past time a lot of reasonably simple games like PowerWasher and HomeRenovator made big hits while the gameplay is nice, relaxing and simple

Currently I have setup a base for a game with a full low poly city, main menu with load and save

But now the gameplay..

I was thinking, would a "post delivery" game maybe fun? Or a trash cleaning sim or something like that?

ideas?

@stux Ever since the Iron Man movie tie-in game came out in like 2007 I’ve wanted a more fleshed-out superhero style game where you can seemlessly transition from walking/running to momentum-based flying. I think the closest thing I’ve seen was Just Cause 3’s jet-powered wingsuit which is great, but crashing lacked some weight since you can lose a lot of momentum just from air resistance.

All that is to say, physics-based flight with obstacles to avoid in an open world would be super cool

ComicalMayhem This thread is fascinating to me. The exact reason I love this game is the utter chaos and desperation I feel in literally every mission. I was hesitant to move up from extreme to impossible, but eventually I just made the jump up to Helldive (then Super Helldive when they added it) and I haven’t looked back.

I love being unsure of victory. No other PvE game feels like because of how fantastic losing feels.

WE WILL

@Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar Sonotsugipaa Oh I didn’t mean to imply “just git gud.” I mostly meant to say that I’m surprised there are a notable number of fans of this game upset by the difficulty. From my perspective one of the biggest draws of the game is the chaos and how there’s a very real chance of loss no matter your best efforts.

I don’t think fans frustrated with the difficulty are wrong by any means, I’m just personally surprised by it. It makes specific planets and major orders so much more memorable to me
