Really waiting for this one. The first one was fun, and a very early version of shapez2 was cool too.

Shame. I'm very open in buying games, but there's no chance I ever dip myself into a locked console again. Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Great. Opus Magnum felt like the perfect balance of hard and good from Zachtronics, being both very accessible and leaving ample room for fine optimizations. More content is great.

If there's one thing we were missing on, it was cheap unpolished garbage games made with free, broken, and mismatched assets, tied up with under-developed gameplay, and lackluster everything all around. Really, that's a genre of game that have little to no representation at all. /SARCASM.

And now they want to automatize their production. Great. Never have I seen a specie so hell-bent in self-destruction, and willing to shift in higher gear as needed in doing so.

Quoting: syylkDunno, but once you have DP or USB-C, why you'd want HDMI? Legacy? Enlighten me, LinuxHiveMind!

Some people have existing hardware with HDMI input but no DP or USB-C, and very much would like to use it instead of trashing a thousand-dollar equipment because of "cable protocol forum is angry at this one dev".

Kinda the same reason people that moved to linux and uses nvidia hardware won't throw away their working card to get an AMD just because "it's the good way to do things".

Quoting: dpanterBan AI-generated everything. Is it optimal? No, but practical and likely the only reasonable option if Godot wants to remain open to new contributors. These AI slop "contributions" aren't contributing to anything positive.

I'm tempted to agree, but this is both impractical and would throw the small percentage of valid cases.

A better approach would to be require all PR to be hand-reviewed *before* submission, and vetted by a human. It's equally impractical, but if we look at the cURL project as an example, it is possible for competent devs to use LLM and similar as tools to raise appropriate issues, fixes, and formulate them properly. Key element is, a human used a tool vs. a tool used a human.

Ah.

I really want that to be good, but between the footnote, the reviews, and the "blizzard-ness" of things, I'm really wary of it. I have no problem with the price, but given everything else, it feels like a trap.

Some people have had nightmares because of these games, but it's nice to see them being available on modern systems. There's never enough retro stuff.

Despite the game being teased for like, ever, I still have no idea what's in it aside from cat and that it comes from Edmund McMillen.

It's nice to hear it's coming along though. I'm definitely curious about anything he decides to put out.

I'm curious what they're gonna do with this. The obvious would be a simple update to keep it running fine on modern systems, but I doubt this would lead to incompatible saves…

Square is one of these company that do some stuff good, some stuff bad. I really hope this one is the former.

And, although very unlikely, if this was a remaster, I'd be se happy.
