Critical Role's plans to make a videogame have become an 'active pursuit', says CEO Travis Willingham, after almost 10 years of growing a D&D campaign into a full-on franchise
  • It feels like this has disaster written all over it.

    Sorry if I'm harshing anyone's vibe, but I can't escape the feeling that a group of people whose main involvement in the games industry is as voice talent are basically saying "How hard could it be?" and not understanding that the answer is "Very."

    Ideally they would team up with an experienced studio to build something off of their creative ideas. But if they try to do this whole thing themselves, it has the makings of a Wha Happen? episode all over it.

    Maybe it'll work. They pulled off Vox Machina, so who knows. I'd certainly like to be wrong. But I can't help but feel like we'll all be talking about the fallout from this in five years, when eager backers are still waiting for the game they were promised.

  • To be more precise, Shenkel's work was discredited by the collective efforts of numerous scientists studying wolf behaviour. Probably the most notable of these was David Mech. His book "The Wolf" was based on Shenkel's work, and his own research on wolves in captivity, and was really the work that popularized the "alpha" nonsense in the public mind.

    After numerous studies of wolves in the wild failed to bear out these conclusions, Mech later concluded that his work was wrong, and got The Wolf removed from publication.

  • Biden Issues a ‘Full and Unconditional Pardon’ of His Son Hunter Biden
  • I think the issue a lot of us have with this is less that he's stooping to Trump's level, and more that he's only doing it to help his own family. Abusing the office of the president is apparently fine and good if its done on behalf of someone who's name is Biden, but the rest of the planet can get fucked.

  • can someone tell me how to do this rectangle with pygobject!?!!?
  • "Angry" was the charitable read. Your conveyed tone, intentional or not, was that of someone who was either talking down to their interlocutor, or frustrated that they felt they weren't being understood. I picked "angry" because if your intention was to talk down to me, that comes off so much worse for you.

    Regardless, my previous point stands. I have asked a number of questions that you have answered in only the most minimal fashion possible. That is not the bahaviour of someone who is genuinely trying to engage in a learning process. You're not actually making the effort, presumably because you want me to make it all for you, for free. That's a pretty shitty way to behave, and it's a bad way to get help with anything.

  • In a bit of a pre upgrade slump, what do you recommend?
  • It's a little janky, and the blocky aesthetic may or may not be your thing, but it handles the idea of detective work better than any other game I've ever played. It's not just "Walk around in detective vision until you assemble enough clues for the character to tell you the solution." You have to actually think about things, examine the evidence, assemble a theory of the crime. Which is doubly impressive given that every crime is procedurally generated.

  • Witcher 3 for sure.

    Control.

    Dark Souls 3.

    Bloodborne.

    Not exactly action, but Shadows of Doubt has moments of action, lots of exploration, and amazing detective mechanics.

    Valheim

    Subnautica

    The Little Big Adventure remake.

    Metro Exodus

  • Trump’s promise to loosen crypto regulations may be boon for extremist groups
  • I never said it did.

    Understanding that Nazis are human beings, with human thoughts, feelings and emotions doesn't change the fact that their ideology is utterly intolerable. That's the price of fighting fascism. You don't get to make it easy on yourself by pretending that they're something less than human.

    Fighting Nazis... Killing Nazis... Is sometimes the only reasonable choice. "The only thing a tolerant society cannot tolerate is intolerance." But you have to understand that when you talk about killing Nazis, you are talking about killing people. Human beings with lives and feelings and families and dreams. You have to be ready to take the cost of that on yourself. It's easier if they're not. It's easier if they're just NPCs to be moved down for points. But reality doesn't get to be like that. Antifascism isn't just a thing you do for the aesthetics. It's not a cool badge you wear, and a slogan to shout. It doesn't get to be fun and easy.

  • And you're solving this by getting angry at the person trying to help you?

    Learning is a process that you engage in. It's not a thing that's done to you. You can't learn anything if you're not willing to be a productive part of that process.

    I get that you're frustrated. Learning is often frustrating. But you're only going to magnify your frustration by turning it on other people.

  • It would probably help if you were more specific about what part of the example you're struggling to recreate. Maybe try sharing the relevant section of your code? Talk about what this particular component is supposed to do? Context is really important to these kinds of questions.

  • Comment with a picture of your potato!
  • 100% agreed on this. Don't let dumbass millionaire Instagram influencers hoodwink you into thinking that only people who can afford to motorbike around the world with their dog in a sidecar are doing dog ownership the right way.

    Dogs want very little from us. Shelter, food, enrichment and love. Give them those things and they will live a very happy life.
