Mist everywhere, monsters big as buildings roaming around, as well as small dangerous ones;
Car is dead;
No immediate supplies;
You've seen what those things can do and how they can make you suffer before you die;
No foreseeable hope that any human forces can help you.
Got a gun that can end It all with no suffering.
The bitter aftertaste, when the dispair takes place is, chefs kiss. Not every story needs a happy ending.
Have you ever watched The Mist? it would be a nightmare to get captured alive by those horrifying spiders
For anyone that doesn't know, the spiders size varies from a tarantula to a dog, and they reproduce by inserting hundreds of eggs inside you, they then eat you alive inside out when hatching
yes, because the average user doesn't even know there are different browsers, and that they can change the default one, which is great to "vendor lock" your own browser, in this case Safari from iOS
You spend so much time learning and improving a craft, you think you're not top-level yet, but you surely is a reference in the area.
Then you see that person, usually younger, absolutely crush your skills by a landslide, making things that kept you several nights awake, seem like child's play.
Then you start to question what were you doing all this time, were you lazy? Did you have a good path to the point you are? Are they just special? Are you just lacking? Will you be able to keep up with that person (this applies mostly when we're talking about a job)?
Then you realize no matter what you think, It is what It is, but now you can't even muster any strength or aspirations, because you will never top their speed, you're just and old and incapable thing, drifting away.
on hindsight they are trying to implement a "forum" like experience, where you can create a dedicated threads channel where you csn search previous threads, but it's not exactly like a real forum, pretty useful tho
they will never win, it's an open source code, anyone can fork an re-distribute It, they can't realistically lawsuit tens of thousands of people, some of which sre totally incognito
I think the problem is just that, the game is... okay, not bad or good, just okay, unremarkable and forgettable.
If you want good sales you need to do something innovative and interesting, or something cliché but really well done.
Taking a look at Doom 2016 (also a single player shooter) we can see the core gameplay: Shoot demons, Pick up ammo, Shoot more demons. But it's crafted so masterfully that you spend dozens or hundreds of hours doing just that.
Now with this game that I actually forgot the name mid comment, It's... well you get the ideia.
Discord was awesome for communication an administrative bulletins, you could check at a glance everyone who was online and join calls in a single click.
Also we had text channels for specific projects, and for a in-depth discussion of a specific thing we created threads in the same channel, anything of importance could also be pinned down.
With that out of the way, I think if done correctly, It works just fine, It's a different medium than a forum, since the last is used for future reference, and the former is for on-demand discussions.
Also any platform can be shitty If the wrong person is holding the reins (i.e. Github issues boards)
i for one liked the ending for that exact reason
