@80Level Senua is more of an immersive game than typical action-adventure. Beautiful and sad, and terrifying, and full of compassion... Dark as it is, it's a healing experience.
Was really looking forward to the next one 🥲
Whatever happens, I wish the devs best of luck

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@therealcliffyb That one game that made me overcome my intense fear of crazy zombies with chainsaws (ironically, originally instilled by RE4 in the first place). There are much much worse things out there😨

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@ThatNgonGuy I like to call it "magic of illusion" 🪄 A somewhat underappreciated skilltree...

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@therealcliffyb Senua's mirror from Hellblade. It's magic though, so I guess doesn't really count =P More interesting indicator is /audio/ in the form of constant stream of "voices in your head" (example: they SCREAM that someone is attacking from behind instead of flashing red arrows)

@Kurz_Gesagt Somehow it looks like she's reloading the sword O_o Whatever the case, they better run fast

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@therealcliffyb If these guys only knew how many gaming girls still prefer to hide their gender even today... All because some dudes inexplicably go into complete meltdown when confronted with reality. It's a mental health risk.

@louisdumont You know the animation is good when you can "hear" the sound effects even with muted video🤣The actual sound is just an icing on top

@80Level Now I can't unsee a giant duck🦆

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@ThatNgonGuy I remember when I learned this sometime after DooM 3 was released. English is not my first language so I never heard this word before. It was surprisingly easy to switch, because it felt like it "made sense" now😮

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@80Level Maybe issue is in how success is measured for game like this. No matter how good it is it will never come close to sandbox audience. Limited simply by being a violent horror. When someone looks at it and sets unreasonable targets, isn't it just mismanagement? (Looking at you, EA)

@Kurz_Gesagt @nightshift_kgs "Mama was right - I should've gone to law school"

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@Cartesian_C "Maximum power"

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@therealcliffyb As a gamer watching the industry from outside: it looks like big companies were overrun by people who would normally be telling you to "stop playing stupid games and get a job". They don't even see why people play and/or make games, but want to exploit it

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@80Level @XBOX I'm torn between "this is bad" / "this could've been so much worse" / "it still can get worse" / and "if these studios survive the next few years they might be better off without Microsoft anyway".
Still sucks for those who simply lost their job. What a horrible mess

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@IsThisA3DModel Imagine having the power "to bring your every idea to life" at your fingertips... and you chose to make this.
At some point it becomes just too sad to look at 🤦

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@80Level I am so happy it's getting a sequel - these games are an experience! 🤩

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@ThatNgonGuy Haha, yes, the change was a little confusing :) It makes total sense though! "Active" spline is just one spline out of (potential) few in the same curve, so it was odd for its options to be in the general curve settings in the first place.

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@Khellstr3D @ThatNgonGuy Oh yeah, that's got to be confusing 😅 For some reason I always ever used "Path" object instead - it has endpoints enabled by default.

[Billie Stray @StrayBillie]

@ThatNgonGuy It migrated to the N-Panel > Item > Active Spline
