Civvie 11 - Retro FPS Boomer

[mikebrown]

Not to steer this into a Blood 2 spergout but was the source code for it every released? I'm kind of surprised there was never a concentrated effort to "fix" it considering how legendarily bad the game is and the dedication of the fan base. I'm also a bit surprised that with the revival of "boomer shooters" and success of Doom that no one has even hinted at bringing Blood back when they could probably (unfortuantely) copy nuDoom and it'd print a bit of money.

There are a couple mods that seek to address that actually on ModDB.
Blood 2: The Second Cut
Redux Cruo which sets out to fix more things on the graphical side
and Extra Crispy that's just another flavor of rebalance/retooling

I actually slogged through the piece of shit back in like October and thought Redux Cruo was also a rebalance, only used that, it was not, you need that plus one of the other two.

Kiss is a weird band because they dress in heavy metal makeup with blood and pretend to be demons but their music is generic 70s hard rock that's about as heavy as bands like Aerosmith and about as lyrically dark as them too.

It's because they are a generic 70s rock band that trudged like a zombie as long as 2010s. The most interesting thing about them is how they're arguably the biggest sold-outs in history, and that weird movie where everyone (except Gene) is obviously high off his ass.

They didn't even bother to license their music for their own movie.

Id say only ones who gets greedier when it comes to music licenses, Van Hallen still rings king shit of dick mountain.

OOF. QUAD DAMAGE.

John fuckin' Carmack just roasted the fuck out of that retard.

Now that he covered Jazz Jackrabbit, I am waiting to see his Dangerous Dave review.

It's one of the big differences between past and modern devs. Past devs were mathematicians and physicists that needed to use workarounds and fancy math to make games work fast. Modern devs are "artists" that shit out uninspired art in-between goon sessions, resulting in games that are tens of gigs (at minimum) and run like ass.

If past devs were like modern devs, they'd copyright every algorithm they made and bitch constantly on how they are victims when someone uses anything similar.

Interesting to see you reference Dangerous Dave because I was just playing this game Haunted Lands which is... an homage to it, to put it lightly. I really liked it and look forward to the full release. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2980900/Haunted_Lands/

Very nice, I'll definitely check it out.

Also, that boomer retard who got BTFO by Carmack has his own youtoob channel.

Considering his bad takes on IA, we can easily throw his channel into the trash.

 

[demicolon]

Either I ate too much acid or Civvie already covered Dangerous Dave in some grabbag video?

Oh, it could be.

In that case, he should cover Depth Dwellers instead.

Edit: the boomer luddite doubled down, and Carmack shut him down once more.

Dude is getting roasted in the comments, it's hilarious.

I watched a couple of his videos and they're alright, they go into detail and cover the games about as thoroughly as Civvie does. Still, he is just as much of a neurotic retard with bad takes as Civvie, except unlike him he doesn't tend to keep his mouth shut and leave them as a bitter throwaway gag in one of his videos. Oh, and this dude has a bluesky account, in case you were wondering.

 

[Brain Problems]

The dude thought he could get easy asspats by shitting on AI like everyone else does but missed the mark completely and had to be spoken to like a child by Carmack. Sad!

Aren't you thinking about Bio-Menace?

Nope, can't find it anyway.
Could be other youtuber, I know I saw a video where the joke was that Dangerous Dave gameplay was spliced in or something like that. Or maybe I should eat less acid.

Schadenfreude aside, I appreciate Carmack's take on using AI-gen code segments. It's nice to see a big name who's not all doom and gloom about the prospect.

That's because Carmack understands very well that AI, in and of itself, won't take your job. Someone using AI will.

As such, AI is a tool.

 

[Rockzo]

New video on Quake 2 AI thing. Half of it is ERP with an AI chatbot.

Also new vids: "Doom 2 Master Levels video in progress and nearly done, so that should also be out this week. After that, probably Viscerafest and then that new Doom game is gonna be out."

While I understand it's just for another gag of his this whole shit is disgusting and reeks of nolife faggotry. Eugh.

I'd say the artistic part is fundamental when it comes to developing a game, since you're not developing an work-related software that it's bound to be purely utilitarian, but more that the perception of game development has shifted from "super niche thing that only (true) geeks care for" to "adventurous (purely) creative endeavor!" attracting a lot of the people who would otherwise chase their dream of making it big in movies or music biz. The difference may be subtle, but it's there.
