CrossCode, for the third time in about two weeks.

I’m 5 years late to it because for some reason I thought it was a JRPG…

I have a few in my library:

• Signalis (low-poly (not that you can notice), low-res, CRT effect)
• CrossCode (2D, low-res)
• Valheim (low-poly, low-res, still graphically intensive due to lighting)
• Lethal Company (low-res, bitcoin miner levels of GPU load)
• Super Alloy Ranger (2D, low-res)
• Terraria (you know Terraria, don’t lie)
• Iconoclasts (2D, low-res)
• Starbound (Terraria, but a bit worse and in space)

I don’t think these games aim for nostalgia, nostalgia alone is not a good reason to choose low-poly or low-res graphics.

Low-res textures and sprites have the advantage of being much easier for artists not only to hand draw, but to explicitly choose what details to give to a certain surface.
3D games with low-res rendering also have their own appeal, like you say: they tell you what you’re looking at but still leaves your imagination the burden of filling in the details.

To me low-poly models don’t really have their own appeal, unlike pixelated visuals, however I also don’t mind them at all.
I still occasionally play games like Perfect Dark and TLoZ: OoT on their recompiled PC ports, they look good despite their low-poly nature because they don’t need high-poly models and their animations would look uncanny if they did (goofy ahh textures though).

However, there are some retro effects that I find to be straight up ugly: Signalis applies a CRT effect occasionally, which I can’t say I’m fond of.

You (usually) have the time time to say “Negative” when you hear someone calling it, the problem is that almost all players who run for extraction ASAP are just incapable of teamwork.

I would love some new voiced messages though…

Why would a car have a pet?

Lost access to your email? Nuh uh.

If you want to collect samples and SC at a sensible rate you need to look for them, otherwise short and speedrunny missions are the way to go if you want to get medals.

Isn’t exploration part of the fun?

With the last two big things I’ve heard about (Yuzu and… Dolphin, I think?) they were legally in the right, but at least where I live there is absolutely no way to spin a recompiler + asset extractor as something illegal - they can’t even claim the developers are circumventing DRM, because OOT and MM didn’t have any.

Though, I would not be surprised if there’s something in US law that can be exploited for this.

Ship Of Harkinian (and similar projects) have kept gping for a long time, and they don’t do anything remotely illegal either

I believe the Halo universe has something like that, although inconsistently (see the PoA in Halo: Reach vs FuD in Halo 3 (the latter scene is awesome but makes absolutely no damn sense at all)).

Personally I find that to be an OP cop-out – why bother with orbital deployment, if you can just GMod noclip over enemy bases and shoot them in the face with 380s?

Lemmy exclusive :3

although I’m sure someone elsewhere probably has a better explaination

While I didn’t think about planet spin, I also don’t think that SEAF destroyers aim to be so far away from the planet during a drop

I have the inverse problem: on average, 4/5 games that I try to join are already full

I see it more like a “we’re good for now I guess, fuck around again and I’ll change it back to negative”

I’m not using a VM, I don’t think it would work with Windows + the kernel level anticheat; I also haven’t tried poking around with the AC, I guess it does prevent simple memory manipulation with things like scanmem but I’m not willing to risk 40€ just for science.

I’ll try doing the lsmod thing and edit the comment you replied to, in a bit

Unless it actually behaves like malware and attempts multiple workarounds to obtain root privileges that I should know about, it does run in userspace for me.

Perhaps later today I’ll spin up the game and check lsmod, but if I’m wrong that’s a massive black flag that has absolutely no chance of being legal no matter how many eula roofies they spiked my drinks with.

Done, no weird kernel module was loaded: unless nProtect is pulling a sneaky, it’s running in user mode.

10% is a lot by I WANT MORE MONEY RIGHT NOW shareholder metrics

Agreed. For detecting cheaters, statistics work like a Dream

I’d imagine some of them are here:

(edit: forgot to un-dox the user)

I’d say the choice of format is driven more by the similarity between ST and HD, and less about an accurate analogy with the source material
