  • Prompt says you’re being chased but nothing about the quality of the chase. I like the image of the predator being obligated to chase them but feeling kind of ashamed of it so they don’t really want to get the kill.

    Hunted: ‘*puff, wheeze* Just… gotta… get to the top… of the hill.’ Predator: *walks calmly up to just behind the hunted and makes a predator noise, then sits to wait for them to scramble the rest of the way up while the predator plays space-solitaire*





  • Grausame Töchter is loads of fun, and I’ve enjoyed some of the others.

  • You want to see my Fallout 4 impression?

    Nyuh, nyuh, nyuh. I’m Fallout 4. Nyuh, nyuh, nyuh.

    But seriously, I was quite disappointed by it too. I really enjoyed 3. NV was kind of fun too. 4 just felt like it was trying too hard in the wrong places. They put a lot of the effort that should have gone into storyline development and put it into the town building minigame. They tried to catch the wave of Ark and all those other base builders and lost the story in the sandbox. Two half games don’t make a whole game.


  • E-ink in general is expensive from what I’ve seen. I was pricing out building a little project and found even the tiny displays (a few centimeters on the diagonal) were ~US$50. If you look for anything big enough to be more than a low power always on display, it gets quite expensive quite quickly. Add on the cost of development for completely unique software because the off-the-shelf stuff is mostly not compatible, and the other general hardware costs for making it a product instead of a project, and the pricepoint is not that wild. Hopefully they come down over time.
