TIL CAD is still going and it looks different.
But can you truly see it when the quality is so bad it’s blurry af?
Old school Armored core gamer here. This is me.
Wasting ammo on random sections of wall, or vents, or shipping crates…
Doom ]['s chainsaw.
That level was the Entryway, and the chainsaw is next to an outside area that Doomguy presumably came in from. That means he had to have walked right past the chainsaw on the way in.
How did he even make it to doom ii with such poor observational skills?
For me it’s waterfalls - have to check behind every single one for a hidden cave.
This has proven to be problematic in real life, like when I visited Niagara…
There are tours that take you behind the falls near the turbines. Or at least used to be.
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.
That’s why I find idea that in Ready Player One no gamer tried running a car backward offensive.
Its like, people rub against every square inch of geometry in say, Destiny 2, just to get out of bounds. It’s insane that no one just…tried cause they’re bored even.
I always remember back in world of warcraft, before you had flying mounts, there were spots you could spam jump on to slowly climb the barrier mountains and get up to the flat area they never meant for you to see. Good times.
Or old 3D platformers that didn’t disable collision on visual detail bits, so you could do skips or get out of bounds.
or getting under stormwind, haha. good times.
I was a frequent flyer in mod chat because I got stuck out of bounds a lot back in the day.
There’s a little explanation in that it costs to get in to the race. So naturally people wouldn’t want to waste the attempt, except there’s always someone that will pay the fee and try just about anything.

Especially when the prize is that big.
That might buy you a few days, but not the absurd amount of time in the story.
The book had a much better story for the first key.
I mean, how did he have the foresight to know that almost everyone would go to school inside his videogame?
He didnt, the intent was to put it somewhere that everyone could and should access, a place of learning. No gatekeeping, no financial or age restrictions.
Actually not that unprecedented https://youtu.be/gPagHHIfvlg
How dare that person not plant some pies in there every now and then
Aren’t sweets like really bad for dogs?
Meat pie baby
Yeah it took me like ten seconds of confusions to understand what about a pie was being considered sweet. And then ohhhhh maybe they thought it meant a FRUIT pie?
“A pie” is a meat pie around here
My dog would occasionally get into a bag of Hershey kisses, he lived to be 18 years old
my wife’s childhood dog - schnauzer mutt - ate an entire basket of chocolates and sweets that was from valentine’s day. like multiple pounds of assorted fancy chocolate. lived for another 10 years (this was the 80s, I don’t think people grokked the choc / dog thing).
Around 2009 a neighbor lost their pyranese (sp? long haired tall dog) when it ate a single chocolate bar (it was dark and high cacao whole foods stuff). It was just dead when they got home from work, apparently ate it the night before.
seems like a bad gamble to make. but holy hell I can’t keep my dogs from eating random biohazards, dead birds, snails & slugs and god knows what, it’s a miracle they survive as long as they do.
frankly, that just tells me about the quality of 80s “fancy” chocolate
That’s because Hershey’s chocolate isn’t actual chocolate, it’s milk mixed with vomit.
Good to know, I’m cooking chocolate chip cookies this afternoon, I’ll try your homemade substitutes per your suggestion 😁
FYI, the vomit thing is very real: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hersheys-chocolate-tastes-like-vomit_l_60479e5fc5b6af8f98bec0cd
I also had a childhood dog that got into a bag of Hershey’s Kisses and was just fine. I’m nearly certain it’s because the amount of actual cocoa in it is basically negligible.
Oh damn, I thought you were just taking the piss out of Hershey
They’ll mostly just get sick to their stomach and or fat. Dogs don’t process sugar very well, but it’s not that horrible for them usually. Worse for small dogs with bad constitution. Chocolate specifically is poisonous for dogs, but again… bigger dogs can often just tank the damage.
Depends on the pie though, dogs are still somewhat omniverous so something like a berry pie without any sugar but what’s already in the berries shouldn’t be too bad.

Wolves have been observed to subsist on almost exclusively blueberries during the height of the season in Yellowstone, so I’d say the glyphosate residue in the flour is much more of a risk than whatever fruit is in the middle.
Sweets are really bad for people too, but that doesn’t seem to stop them.
Doesn’t mean they don’t love them!
Same for humans basically…
I didn’t know Jeff Buckley’s father also draws cartoons 🤭
Jeff Buckley was better tbh
In one shitty 3D platformer game I just fell through the ground, lol.
Bonus points for your appropriate username
been awhile since i got on lemmy i was hoping this place was immune to “every aspect of my lack of personality is from my self diagnosed mental illness” posts that flood facebook and reddit…guess not. going by internet posts/comments more than half of humans have autism/ADHD/OCD, which makes them the neurotypical ones at this point.

Err… wait…
Iirc correctly there was something about somewhat scamming his patreons or so. Ny memory is hazy but something about a drawing tablet?
Ah well if true then that sucks. I’ll have to look into this.
He tried to discourage people from going to a penny arcade convention and to his instead, didn’t donate to charity like he said he would and bought a 3k artist tablet instead, iirc.
And then the movie adaptation of Ready Player One acted like placing something before the starting line is some kind of super-sneaky hiding method.
That movie was a cringe fest start to end.
I look at that less as a plot point and more as a nod to video game design. I really liked that movie.
The most damning game for me was Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu on SNES.
It was an rpg. A good like 10 hours into the game you’re wondering around on Planet Namek and the only way to progress in the story is to find Dende. Well you get pretty much no info or hints about where he is. Well all the houses and huts all have decorative pots in them, kind of like the kind you could smash in Zelda games. In DBZ, at no point was anything in any of these pots, and you couldn’t break them, or even get acknowledgement that pressing a button near one of these pots even “checks” the pot. All the pots seem to just be decor you can’t interact with.
Of course, that’s where Dende was. The only thing in any pot in the entire game was a kid that you were required to find in order to continue progressing, found half way into the game after you’ve decided already that the game won’t let you interact or check pots, and then making you check all the rest of the pots for the rest of the game because “they hid one thing in a pot, surely there could be another”.
Yup. The worst Dragonball game, that for some reason I sometimes replay. I get the feeling that there is a spirit of a good game in there, if it was almost completely reworked. Something like a fusion with Legendary Super Warriors.
Anyhow, the game is pretty funky and has obscure stuff to it. Escargo being needed for fusing a Super Piccolo (1.9 billion BP), getting an third wish with Porunga, or getting Goku to Earth before the battle of the Saiba Men commences.
Other than that annoyance with dende and the pots, I still really enjoyed the card aspect of the game and playing through it. Not the worst rpg I’ve played. Plus I was all about dbz way back then, and just glad I could find a translated rom of the game.
Super Saiya Densetsu is actually a pseudo-continuation of a Famicom series that used the card system. In some ways, the older games had neater battle aesthetics, particularly in how fighters weave between background and foreground. The video below covers the assorted card-RPG games.
Well. There went like an hour and a half of me watching YouTube. I’ma have to check out the gbc one. It looks pretty cool.
As a Wolfenstein 3D player that checks every square centimeter of every wall for secret passages, I feel this pain.
There was some amazing stuff in some of those hidden passages. It was well worth it in that game. Doom/Doom 2 had a lot of that, too.
