Saros will "tempt you to do tricky things", its game designer tells me about its aggressive, creative shield combat: "How much do you feather the stick?" https://t.co/Xlh81SesGZ

Shooting off the walls.

Wishlist SAROS for the latest updates.

...Why not both? 👀

The most frustrating part of all this is that the display itself is pretty incredible. It’s an ultrawide OLED, and it is a joy to use…except when I have to switch inputs.

If I was on the hardware team for this screen I would be mighty pissed; the UX team really dropped the ball

[Abebe Tinari @Bebetheman]

I got a new Samsung monitor at work and it is boggling my mind how bad the UX is. Every day is a new layer of UI hell.

There are no fewer than 4 distinct menu systems, each with a different visual style and method of interface. Some scroll vertically, some horizontally. Chaos.

[Abebe Tinari @Bebetheman]

I wish I could rip the dedicated ‘mic’ button from the remote, and force-feed it to the person who designed this monitor’s interface. What kind of psychopath wants to talk to their monitor to control it??

Do the people designing these products not have fingers?

New video. This one has been in the works for over 2 years. I think this is the best story I will ever tell on my YouTube channel.

@ThatYuta I once worked with a Japanese person who sometimes used spaces in their written Japanese. They did not put one between every word (which I agree is hard to read.) Instead, they put it in parts of sentences that would have a natural pause when speaking.

I found it very legible.

Congratulations on the 15th anniversary of Bayonetta and the 2nd anniversary of Bayonetta 3!
Sorry it's a WIP drawing, I drew it in between work.
I wanted to make a soft and beautiful picture, but before I knew it, the contrast had become too extreme.
I wanted to use the red, blue, and purple symbolic colors of 1, 2, and 3.
I didn't have enough time, so I'll finish it before the 15th anniversary.❤️💙💜

[Abebe Tinari @Bebetheman]

This gives the impression that the enemies, spikes, etc., exist in the negative space; almost not part of the world.

On modern OLED screens (I’m playing on the Steam Deck OLED) this works extremely well due to the contrast between the vibrant colours and the inky blacks.

[Abebe Tinari @Bebetheman]

The colours in Neva are breathtaking.

1 interesting thing from a game design perspective is they use [Black] to denote dangerous objects.

These are often shown with bright colours (e.g red), but since Neva uses so many shades in its backgrounds, this use of black makes sense.
