How about a Panda costume for an Owl?

Or, just an Owl-Panda hybrid? o_O

ddickinson: Red Pandas are the best kind of Pandas, no matter what Moon says ;-). Plus regular black and white Pandas are just grumpy. :-)

ddickinson: It is also the gameplay that seems so similar as well, all the rouge-lite platformer and RPG games just look the same, I guess as they are trying to milk some nostalgia from a previous game. Sadly many of the unique ones probably get buried under all the crap, or overlooked as just another retro pixel game made to look like it was made 20 years ago yet that has system specs higher than many modern 3D games.
That wouldn't surprise me. There's always more people copying old classics in some way than those who are trying totally different things.

And yes, the system requirements for those titles are ridiculous. It tends to make the developers look like they have no clue how to optimize their games.

No clue, or are just too lazy. Also I wonder if many are just thinking "we have these specs, so everyone else should have them too, unless they are some kind of peasants". It is not hard or expensive to get hold of an older system to then optimise the code. Just look at the new Downfall, there is no way on earth those specs are warranted if the game had been optimised and done by competent developers. But again, their laziness doesn't seem to matter as many will accept it as they are "indie". But I don't get it. A bit of work with optimisation opens you up to the millions of games who don't have high specs computers just yet, which would mean plenty more sales. But I guess the smaller sales are enough for them to not warrant the extra effort optimising their games.
A beautiful day to my favorite tread! *big hugs*

Morning thread, sounds like everyone is doing OK today, that's a wonderful thing.
Doing good here too, just waking up with a bit of coffee and catching up on threads and emails.
Have a few chores to do and then nothing planned today.
*hugs, waves, 1 leftover pork chop to share*

It's a mixture of problems. Some are lazy, some aren't skilled enough, some customers will buy and not think about it, making the developers think that their current approach is A-okay. It's a bit of a clusterfuck, really.

I don't get it either. If I made a game, I'd want it to be available to as many people as possible, not just the ones with the latest hardware.
Just a quick hello everyone *big hugs and waves*

Hope you're all having a great day :)

Won't have much time now - see you later :)

Good afternoon. =) Hope you're having a pleasant day so far.

Empress_Owl: Good day too, Yezemin ! hope you're doing good !
I'm doing great. Finally got this big project at work mostly off my back and the weather's improving. That's a good combination.^^

How are you doing?

Hello, Crow! I would hug you, but you're in the no hugs crowd. :P

Good morning. =)

There ya go. Get the boring crap out of the way early, then the day's wide open. ;)

Also, thank you for the pork chop. I know just what to do with it...

Good afternoon. =)

Try not to have too much fun today. See you later on.

Before you go...-throws Endre's barbecue slathered spare pork chop at your head, just cuz- >=)

Yezemin: Hello, Crow! I would hug you, but you're in the no hugs crowd. :P
I appreciate the thought, regardless. =)

It's weird, though.
I just don't feel comfortable hugging someone if I'm not wearing a bloodstained koala bear costume at the time.
If they ever find my psychologist, I'll have to ask them about that. ;)

Seriously though, congrats on getting the weight off your shoulders. With the weather getting better, you can go enjoy it with less thinking about work stuff.

Try coffee. The stronger, the better. The acidity of the coffee will actually begin to act as a counterbalance to the stomach acid that's already there, working as a sort of equalizer.

Hope you get to feeling better. =)
