@TinKelp @Synnah @Spenny @Jake So it's true, I did in fact open the wrong file. Multiple times even. I checked my archive and the two games are right beside each other. This is both an embarrassing realization, and an inspirational one. Thanks for your enthusiasm and patience solving what was for me a riddle. It's kinda funny that I was more willing to assume that Spenny was fucking with people than that I clicked on the wrong file... multiple times.

I'm starting to to think y'all are right about me downloading the wrong game. I'm not at home so I can't check yet, but those screenshots look similar to what I played. Regarding @Spenny streaming the development, I started thinking that this was part of the plan. If I did download the wrong game and for some reason continued to think it was another game, truly this will be a sad story of a modern idiot. I'll update y'all once I get home. Glad I asked!

I don't k ow anything aboutbit except for some e3 demo I watched or somethibg where everyone on stage pretended to be coordinating the assasination of some dude who dissolves bodies and it looked like JSOC meets the A-Team Beta is live right now btw.

I'm in the Ghost Recon Wildlands Beta for PC, I'm currently downloading it. I have 3 keys to give out if anyone wants them. I think I need to be friends with you on UPlay in order to send out the invite. I'm ferrofluid.

I think this article about what I assume is the inspiration behind Ana's Lunar New Year mask is purdy interesting. http://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Culture/view?articleId=122081

I think Facebook can take the hit.

@Dewar I had some trouble with Steam VR at one point, but I went through the Steam VR setup again and it works very well for me. I think the archery game in it is super fun.

Cool. What engine are you using?

First impressions after playing through the training twice (once on keyboard/mouse, the second time with a xbox controller) and then playing about an hour of the practice/bot match: I think the controller is way better for this game. I was expecting it to be more focused on the creeps than it is. It really seems mostly like 5v5 Bushido Blade with build-up abilities. The defending, parrying, guard-break stuff is not too difficult to get used to, but I feel like the relationship between them is not snappy (which is fine, it just makes it more difficult for me to understand what is happening. I have this difficulty with wrestling-games). I like how much positioning matters in the the team-battles.

For some reason it says that you are already invited when I try to invite you. Maybe you are already in the beta because you were in the alpha?

I still have 2 invites.

I still have 3 invites, they don't seem to be in high demand. I have to invite through Uplay so send "ferrofluid" a friend request if you want one. Beta starts tomorrow.

The basic idea of this article is that Mike Pence is no stranger to disaster capitalism, where prevention of disasters isn't incentivized because a disaster can create the sense of urgency needed to gain the political will to circumvent labor-laws and give out no-bid contracts. This goes along with the idea that libertarians are putting people in power who are incapable of governing so that they can have more reason to privatize all social programs. DeVos and her brother are excellent examples of this effort. https://www.google.com/amp/s/static.theintercept.com/amp/get-ready-for-the-first-shocks-of-trumps-disaster-capitalism.html

This morning I was just making surreal hallways in Medium. It is so cool. Making a clay hallway, scaling it so I'm standing inside it and then just making holes in the wall is surprisingly satisfying for me.

If anyone is trying to put Medium sculpts into Unity, this is video is essential.

Can we be friends? Actually that goes for any of y'all. I'm clyde.aesthetic on Oculus.

Speaking of media parallels with crass politicians, the comparison to B.P. Richfield from Dinosaurs is my favorite so far. https://www.google.com/amp/www.avclub.com/amp/244740

There are people still making games with Knytt Stories for sure.

I think they mentioned that the talk Chris saw was available online (?). If anyone comes across a link please post it.

Y'all's descriptions of Painkiller makes me think it would be a great game if it was short and didn't have fail-states.

Trying to make games has drastically changed how I enjoy them. I thought it might be fun to have a thread where we can find little inspirational curiosities. This can be things you discover in your own games or just games that other people have made that do a particular thing that's interesting. I thought the fractal paths in this game were interesting. I was disappointed to find out that they have a limit. I had no interest in playing the game, I just wanted to go deeper into the broccoli. http://bunnyherolabs.com/giantbroccoli/

It's cool looking through that list and remembering that year. That was the year we got and Xbox360. I was downloading arcade trials and every available demo. It was amazing that I could play all those demos without subscribing to Playstation Magazine and getting those demo-discs. Every Extend Extra Extreme and some racing game ("Mad Wheels" maybe?) were the first digital titles I bought. I played so much Halo 3 multiplayer and then discovered Shadowrun 360. I played hundreds of hours of Shadowrun. It was my go to game for many years. Puzzle quest on DS was a big thing for a while. I remember having dreams of matching skulls. We still had Wii Sports so we continued to bowl that year. It was also when we first got access to Elder Scrolls: Oblivion which we played obsessively. I had never seen a game where you had so much freedom to walk into peoples' houses, steal, and join guilds and such.

Cool thread.

I'm using a space that is exactly that size with the Rift (when playing Touch games). My x-axis is the 8'. It isn't great, the lack of space is noticeable. Pretty much all the games I've played allow you to use teleport mechanics, but you have to remember to use them. The Guardian wall shows up a lot though you can turn it off if you like. All that said, I don't think the Rift is going to be significantly better for you because of a small space. If anything, you can think that the games which are on the Oculus store (and the duplicates on Steam) will be optimized to allow you to play in the space you describe, but it will be tight.
