@coolboymew That would require a raycasting algorithm for the 4 directional explosions.

Decided to bite the bullet and add bombs because I feel like I need at least one more boss fight in the game. If I can't make bombable walls, then I can just have enemies that can only be killed by bombs instead. The game is too boring with just a sword.

Just to let you know that the Nintendo DS turns 20 years old in two months. Now does that make you feel old?

@lina @BigDawg869789 I love this era of indie games. Developers hosted their games on their own websites, and this was pre-culture war so there wasn't that much drama going on with developers.

@BigDawg869789 Chart is outdated but you can still find these games through your favorite search engine.

@djsumdog I miss having an e-ink reader. It was a great way to read books for free without staring at a glaring screen.

@beardalaxy Can you make the walls transparent instead of invisible when the player is behind them? It looks kind of jarring.

@beardalaxy @dick The scariest part about that is that Minecraft is probably older than those kids at this point, but Minecraft by it's very nature is infinitely replayable and is a completely different game than it was when it first started so I guess I could understand that. I just think that this movie would've done slightly better back when Minecraft was at peak popularity (when it was still popular with LPers) or a few years after.

The movie reminds me of those animated Minecraft videos that weren't animated using the game itself, but through Blender or 3DSMax just so they can give the characters awkward facial animations, except this is worse. The live action characters look jarring because they don't respect the proportions of the original mobs compared to the humans in game, and Jack Black looks nothing like Steve.

I also don't understand the characters who are transported into the Minecraft world. I think all the characters should be kids and/or the adventurous types, but the two adults are some drag-queen looking guy and some obese black woman, both of which don't seem like the types that would care about video games or adventure. (I swear if these two adults are those kids' adoptive parents, I...I don't know what.)

@dick Do kids still play Minecraft?

I know this sounds obvious and nobody was expecting anything less, but that Minecraft movie looks God awful, and I haven't played Minecraft in over a decade.

@sleepingnevi @creamqueen CDs aren't good for podcasts unless you have multiple discs to burn.

@BigDawg869789 I don't know much about the series myself, but I think it started off with limited releases in Japan as standard for Doujin Soft (Japanese indie games) at the time. You had to be at certain conventions or festivals to obtain copies.

@branman65 @PurpCat @SuperSnekFriend @coolboymew @RehnSturm256 Don't connect to any pedo or unmoderated relays and you will be fine. I have yet to encounter CP on Nostr.

@sleepingnevi @creamqueen It needs a cassette player so you can use a cassette adapter to play whatever audio device you want.
