had a stress dream about trying to get this save functionality working

The followup to Hypnospace Outlaw (Dreamsettler) has been canceled.

It has been expressed that the team would like to make available what work on the game has already been done - "it's mostly minigames, music, and video content."

I should maybe make an effort post about it but I think Tumblr would be really amused to hear about the whole Sig P320 fiasco. Where the handgun that replaced the Beretta M9 in military service is just randomly going off for no reason, cops all over the country are banning it from duty, and the company that makes it posted a bizarre message about it on Twitter that desperately tries to hide behind the shield of vague online conservative culture. They ultimately changed the manual to say you shouldn't carry it loaded after getting involved in at least one wrongful death lawsuit over this issue. The other thing that's interesting is SIG only won the contract because they offered an insanely low per-unit cost, just around $200, so they skipped the actual trials that would compare its durability and performance to a competing Glock design, and would catch if it did something like going off completely randomly.

This is also the company that developed the XM7, which is a horrific clusterfuck of a rifle that itself is having bizarre issues. Initially the issue was that the barrels could be pushed around, causing the first shot in a string to be off-zero. Now the barrels are getting insane wear within a couple thousand rounds because the cartridge is so high-pressure and fucking stupid. And the whole idea about this cartridge was to be able to penetrate armor that no other nation in the world currently fields, by firing armor piercing bullets that cost $20 per round. For some reason the army thinks this should be the new service rifle. It is basically going back to an idea that led to the shortest-lived service rifle the US has ever used, because it was so heavy and had so much recoil and sucked so much. This is because the army is still trying to win their invasion of Afghanistan, as this kind of rifle would have been really handy there.

Everything is the F-35 program now. It's all corruption and bribery. SIG has won every contract they've entered over the last few years, even for shit they've never made and don't even produce themselves, like scopes. This is what the final stages of the American Imperial Military-Industrial Complex look like.

much less alarmed by the 'cognitive impact' of LLM use than I am by the fact that so many people apparently believe your brain can atrophy or permanently lose function in the space of four months because you used fancy sparknotes to write a couple of essays

A YTP of cutscenes from the FMV game Gundam 0079: The War for Earth. I'm not very familiar with the Gundam series but this seemed like a fun source to toy with. Shoutout to @greatcheshire for sharing it with me.

Full video with captions here!

Thanks <3

I have the sliiiiight feeling that most people don't know gamedev jobs are contract based and you don't get money taken away from you if people don't buy the game you worked on. You don't get extra money if it sells well, either. I dunno how it is with like, directors, lead programmers+artists and shit but it's like that for the smaller hands of gamedev. Go, pirate a Nintendo. Who gives a shit.
