A very particular fetish maybe?

Some thoughts on Axis Football 2017

Quoting: Mountain ManSince you admit to trolling, I assume you're aware that the incidences of brain injury in football players (and injuries in general) have been overblown by liberal activists and the mainstream media.
"Admit to trolling?" You say it like I was trying to hurt someone's feelings and not just joking. Taking the piss out of a sport I think is utterly pointless macho bullshit, but still, just joking. If those big brutes can take repeated concussions without brain injury, they'll surely survive a bit of harmless needling as well.

@TheSHEEEP: The American patriot needed a new meaningless insult to throw around after the cold war simmered down, and "pinko" and "commie" lost their edge. I guess "liberal" stuck.

Quoting: liamdaweI absolutely love the simple style of it, but I'm very interested in seeing a bit longer of the gameplay before I'm sold on it.
Ditto.

Songbringer, a procedural action RPG released with Linux support, my thoughts
1 Sep 2017 at 2:20 pm UTC

Nice review. I'm not usually a fan of procedurally generated stuff, as it's almost never as good as hand designed when it comes to story and progression, but this does look rather unique and interesting.

Just one thing Liam, I don't think this particular pixelated art style is actually "retro" in any sense of the word. I can't think of any actual oldies that sport a similar style or colour scheme.

Yay. American handegg. "It captures the sport’s essence" eh? Does it simulate doping? How about brain injury due to repeated concussions? /troll

Need more meat? Super Meat Boy Forever announced, will have a Linux version
31 Aug 2017 at 7:59 am UTC

I don't mind challenging platformers, but I'm not sold on Meat Boy -- for reasons I can't quite pin down. The fast-paced gameplay makes me think the devs are Sonic fans. Too bad I never was.

Quoting: fagnerlnBut as someone commented on Youtube, this looks like a cheap mobile endless runner.
It sure doesn't play like one.

Reddit's cake is a lie.

Quoting: ArthurHow does it work in practice though? How does it know to gear down instead of up - do you have to brake while shifting down in order to gear down instead of going to a higher gear?
On the DFGT, the stick has three positions: neutral (centered), up (away from you) and down (towards you). By default, pulling the stick towards you shifts up and pushing it away shifts down. You can hear a click when it reaches those extreme positions, and after you let it go, a spring brings the stick back to center.
Believe it or not, you won't find the familiar H-shifter in modern high end rally cars. WRC drivers use either paddles or sequential manual stick shifts that AFAIK work like you described. Clutch is basically only needed to get the car moving. I guess if you're going for total realism, you'd need all kinds of setups to cover all the available car classes in Dirt Rally.
