I had such an disappointingly awful sandwich last week, I was personally ready to start a war because of it.

Oh yeah. I have a toaster oven. But I was craving a sandwich at work, so I found a nearby deli with good reviews, and then ended up regretting it. I thought of taking a picture of what I was served, but decided that no record should exist of such horrors.

Watched "Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist" last night. Very few stories I haven't heard before, but the doc doubles as a sort of a look at the Hurricane Billy through his own words. And at 100 min running time, it's pretty short.

 Fri Apr 02 13:04:07 +0000 2021

Specifically the part that was essentially "yeah, I punched a non-actor in the face to get a reaction, but people used to do that back then, and he thanked me afterwards." 🤷

 Fri Apr 02 13:05:28 +0000 2021

The doc also briefly shows moments from other Friedkin movies including a scene from Cruising where a murder is intercut with flashes of hardcore porn. So be aware.

True, but it's not the case in that particular shot. There was a rig that yanked the guy back before he hit the car, and they painted in the impact.

Also most Fury Road shots aren't green screen, but roto'ed composites. I think 99% of green screen was used for the sandstorm sequence, because they did it after they were done with the initial shoot in the desert.

Alan Moore distances himself from & dislikes *every* adaptation, Watchmen included. Watchmen has an honor of being a shot by shot adaptation that somehow managed to miss the point of the book entirely. They should have made a special award for Snyder.

A photo of me at my school graduation dinner that took place in a restaurant in a local hotel located in near the historical part of my city.
A few of years later, during renovations, the floor of a restaurant was dug up, and remains of over 100 people were found *right below it*

 Mon Apr 05 23:08:41 +0000 2021

The hotel was built in 1936 on a land which previously had a church, which was destroyed before then. Churches often had cemeteries by them. Nobody bothered to move the graves, apparently.

 Mon Apr 05 23:13:05 +0000 2021

Apparently this theater, built in the 70s, that I used to frequent was also built right on top of old graves. As I now assume quite a lot of other buildings were. My city turns 800 years old this year, and there were plenty of churches around.

I've seen Grindhouse in a not very packed theater on its release day. It was so much fun. I loved all the fake trailers, and seeing Death Proof on a big screen was a special treat. It's a bummer it flopped so badly because people thought it the double bill was too long, or smth. https://x.com/edgarwright/status/1379509781334007815

Now all movies are like 3 hours long, and most people don't care. I, on the other hand, fucking hate it. But with Grindhouse I was getting two movies for the price of one!

Hobo With a Shotgun wasn't in the US release. I also think Planet Terror is meh, but the missing reel gag is truly great.

Death Proof is certainly better in its shorter version. And yeah, the trailers really made it.

I didn't love Planet Terror, but it was a fun time nonetheless. And yes, I do love that the movies are so different in their approach to the exploitation theme.

Higher fidelity ≠ better music.

No they don't. Carpenter denies it. He said in multiple interviews that there are *no hints*. All the fan theories are bullshit.

 Fri Apr 16 19:32:15 +0000 2021

While I'm at it:
- Both characters have light reflecting in their eyes. You can see it if you're watching it on anything but a vhs.
- Breath visible from both. Also Bennings imitation had plenty of visible breath earlier in the film.
- As for gasoline in a bottle theory, oh boy..

 Fri Apr 16 19:38:21 +0000 2021

... Mac's been shown to be a heavy drinker throughout the whole film. All his wants at all times is his blanket, and his bottle. And he got both at the end, so he obviously had time to prepare. He's not sitting there hugging a Molotov cocktail.

 Fri Apr 16 19:39:52 +0000 2021

It is shot like that because Childs is closer to the heat source, so it happens naturally.

 Fri Apr 16 19:41:12 +0000 2021

Also, it's not *nothing* out of Child's mouth. You can see his breath a bunch.

 Fri Apr 16 19:46:34 +0000 2021

It's an audio interview, and no, don't listen to it.

 Fri Apr 16 19:47:33 +0000 2021

There *is* one thing that some people bring up that Carpenter participated in developing a story for. And in the game it is made clear they are both human. I don't like it either, but it's harder to argue because Carpenter even called the game canon when promoting it.

Every Cryo game in a nutshell

 Sun Apr 18 10:32:21 +0000 2021

That's Cryo in a nutshell. Lost Eden is basically attempting to repeat Dune's concept, and somehow managed to "streamline" the strategy part to the point of it being extremely boring and repetitive. https://x.com/martijnfrazer/status/1383426311926935556

 Sun Apr 18 10:37:46 +0000 2021

It's meant to be strategic, but they forgot to add actual strategy. I've always maintained that Dune was Cryo's most successful project as far as game design goes, and all the games that tried to iterate on the same concept failed in the areas that strayed away from the formula.

 Sun Apr 18 11:54:50 +0000 2021

Yeah, it just felt small & cramped. Combined with pretty obtuse puzzles it made the maps too frustrating for me. The combat didn't feel good, and the whole thing was kind of ugly.

In a way it just felt like Hexen, but worse, which wasn't what I was looking for. In contrast, because Heretic 2 was not at all like the the original, I enjoyed it quite a lot.

 Thu Apr 22 21:49:15 +0000 2021

Huh. Didn't realize the game had an interesting blending effect on the edges of the table until I looked at the screenshots I took. It looks like they are maybe attempting a simple depth of field effect? #DOSGaming

 Thu Apr 22 21:56:56 +0000 2021

There are like a handful of DOS games that do that in the first place, and I definitely didn't expect one from 1992 to do that.

 Thu Apr 22 21:59:56 +0000 2021

He tells the story numerous times in the Retro Gamer magazine. Especially back in the day when they kept interviewing the same 20 people over and over.

 Thu Apr 22 22:01:00 +0000 2021

Yeah, I guess it is meant to be depth of field. Some stuff is "in focus", and other stuff is blended, but how it works in relation to the camera is a bit weird.

No more drugs for that man.

 Thu Apr 22 22:56:55 +0000 2021

It's dynamic in relation to the camera, which made me think it is intended as a depth of field effect.

 Thu Apr 22 23:05:48 +0000 2021

It is constant level, but it is only sort of doing it to the edges in front of the camera. Although even then it's a bit inconsistent. And it doesn't do it to anything else.

 Thu Apr 22 23:16:15 +0000 2021

Yes, I get it, but I feel like that would have been even harder to implement, especially back then. If it's not meant to be a simple substitute for depth of field then I gotta question why the entire edge of the table doesn't have that effect applied at all times.

 Thu Apr 22 23:17:58 +0000 2021

Maybe. But what's the point of calculating certain edges being worthy of the effect while others aren't? Wouldn't it be easier to just not do that and apply it evenly, unless there was an intent?

You can see that the effect is somewhat simple. It adds two pixels to every pixel of a line, which probably wasn't too difficult to calculate considering what it is doing already to draw a 3D pool table. But just someone thinking up this effect is so impressive for back then.

3D Realms managed to copyright the term "bullet time" for Max Payne thus instantly pissing off anyone involved with properties based on The Matrix.

It was never used in the movie, and I guess the effects/production company never bothered to copyright it, despite using it in many EPKs and BTS stuff for the film.

 Mon Apr 26 18:47:50 +0000 2021

Well, they could, and they did. And apparently it was good enough for Warner Bros (!) not to sue. Every Matrix game had to come up with their own term for the ability.

 Mon Apr 26 21:48:44 +0000 2021

This short and (somewhat) sweet point & click adventure-puzzle game was based on a Soviet animated mini-series "Kolobkis Are On The Case" from 1986-1987.

 Mon Apr 26 21:58:25 +0000 2021

If the animation style looks familiar to you, it's because animation direction was done by Igor Kovalyov, who later went on to work for Klasky Csupo where he worked on Aaahh!!! Real Monsters and The Rugrats Movie, as well as creating the title sequence for Duckman.

 Mon Apr 26 22:01:22 +0000 2021

To this day the simple 4x4 flop flop fridge puzzle in the game makes even seasoned Russian gamers shudder. So much so that the modern edition of the game available on mobile and GOG has a quickly filling up meter that lets you skip the puzzle outright

 Mon Apr 26 22:13:14 +0000 2021

There is actually a *very* simple trick to it. But back in the day I remember downloading a simple DOS text mode program that would let you set the switches, and then would give you the solution with minimal number of moves.

 Mon Apr 26 22:40:41 +0000 2021

Maybe we're thinking about a different trick, because mine requires no program at all.

 Mon Apr 26 22:54:44 +0000 2021

Huh. That's an interesting one. The trick I use:
- remember all the non-matching switches on the current board
- from top left to bottom right turn all those switches, ignoring the results
- repeat

 Tue Apr 27 23:52:18 +0000 2021

Idk why, but I've been craving to learn some kind of a new tool lately. Should I install Unity or something? 🤔

I used to do gamedev, but I haven't touched it in years. Just packed up my VR setup, so all VR stuff is out of question.

Oh dear lord no.

Huh. Paypal wants me to confirm my residential address, which is not present on any of my official documents. 🤔Well, maybe it's time to give up Paypal then.🤷‍♂️

That, in turn, would mean giving up Patreon, Ko-Fi, eBay, etc. Hmmmm...

My bills, just like everything else, go to my PO Box. Which is also what's on my government issued ID.

Ooh. I haven't thought of that for some reason.

I have been directly in contact with them, because they screwed up when limiting my account to begin with.

Almost there. I love all the Double Fine documentaries by 2 Player Productions. All of them offer a unique look at gamedev from concept to final product. https://x.com/DoubleFine/status/1387903412562448388

A couple of months ago there's been a person who tried to convince everyone the game actually had MT-32 support. They even edited a couple of wikis in addition to spamming Facebook groups with videos. Passport.mid was one midi, which of course didn't exist when the game was made.

No. Someone has to sing about DOS game(s) over the music for it to be a song.

For Ken's music this is probably as close as it's going to get, but it still doesn't count because it's not about DOS games
