“millennials are cringe” damn right im cringe i didnt survive being a teenager so that i could continue policing myself out of being happy

okay so I’ve decided that I’m giving up on modding Fallout 3 because I don’t want to go through the same content again just because I fucked up on modding the game, so I’m installing Fallout 4 instead and this time I’m going to review all changes through xEdit manually

omg the way that Wrye Bash merges leveled lists is absolutely asinine. it saw that Simple Realism was overwriting the leveled lists of the Fallout 3 master to put less ammo and stimpaks in the world, and it decided that the Fallout 3 master should get to override that behavior and just put all the leveled lists back how they were. and I can’t even find an option to tell it not to do that

to be honest I guess I should’ve just merged all of my plugins manually with xEdit but I really didn’t want to go through that again after spending nearly a month on my modded Skyrim config in the past. but now I’m kicking myself because I put like 5-10 hours into my savefile and got attached to my character and now I might have to start from scratch

I was able to beat the final boss of #DarkSouls 1 a few days ago but I’m ashamed to admit that I used the estus flask exploit to beat the Asylum Demon instead of using the coconut as FromSoft intended /j

holy shit is the #Fallout3 GECK the most dogshit piece of software I’ve ever tried to use omg. I don’t know how Bethesda has managed to continue using this engine for however many decades it’s been now but they really need to just switch to Unreal already

as a big fan of Metroid games, I’m kinda frustrated by the indie trend of “metroidvanias” because I don’t think there’s any “Metroid” in them. pretty much every single one of them is a fantasy (or fantasy-adjacent) 2D hack-and-slash game. yes they do have powerups that allow you to traverse more of the map, but that’s just as much of a Castlevania thing as a Metroid thing

so these games feel moderately Castlevania-inspired, but not even remotely Metroid-inspired. and let’s be honest - what they’re actually copying is Hollow Knight. they should be called Hollowvanias or something. don’t get my hopes up by putting the name of one of my favorite game series in there

anyway idk I dislike how these big indie trends keep missing the point of what I like about the games they’re based on. the same thing happened with “roguelikes” where all they took away from actual roguelikes is to have procedural generation and permadeath, and then they made up a bunch of mechanics on top of that which I think are fine but don’t really add that much to the game. when they could be drawing from the rich tradition of actual roguelikes instead

come to think of it, the new Doom games kinda did the same thing where they flanderized what a Doom game is, added a bunch of weird stuff on top, and lost what I enjoy about Doom in the process

#neovim’s showbreak option is so fucking helpful for tracking at a glance where soft line breaks are in a file. I just found out about this option like a week ago (I don’t even think it exists as an option in regular vim? or at least I never knew it was there) and every time I see it in a file I’ll be like “I love this so much”

before this I used to look at the line numbers to see if there was a gap, and that’s how I could kinda tell if there was a soft wrap. but now I just look for the blue +++ which is hard to miss lol

idk I love this editor. at this point I don’t know if I could live without it

I hope Doom: The Dark Ages fucking tanks and out of desperation id software’s next project is to release a heavily moddable remaster of Doom 1 and 2

they’re just like “alright fuck it - we admit that we have no idea what makes these games fun and we’ve just been flanderizing them for years. so now we’re going back to basics to try to figure this out from square one”

what if: hungry
but also: sleepy

I really wish Titanfall 2 had a free play mode or something. it seems like most of the team must’ve been focused on the multiplayer, because the singleplayer is very very short and it has lots of forced story sections that I don’t want to sit through every time lol. I definitely enjoyed it a good bit on my first and second playthrough, but I don’t think I’ll be interested in doing a third

wish i had the “i programmed this huge application that replaces the need for expensive enterprise software” tism instead of “i made this half broken cli tool that’s so specific to this one thing and is useless for anyone who isn’t me” tism
