I wish all games were free of commercials...
Lunacid, great lil' game until you decide to try and get all the achievements.
Ending spoilers
The one thing I don't really like is how all of the world building is more or less inavlidated by the classic "it's just a dream bro".
Yes, the dreamer is supposedly an eldritch being, but I'd like to appreciate all the tiny little lore connections you can find without the looming threat of "this doesn't make sense because it's all a dream".
Like with skeletons.
Why skeletons?
All enemies in the game have some sort of explaination, from the simple "this is a fog beast" to "holy knights cursed themselves and became abominable horses, tainting vampire cattle and turning their captors into the puddle of harm that currently stands in your way".
But skeletons?
They don't have any explaination, unlike the mummies of the Temple of Silence - they're just nondescript undead enemies where undead enemies thematically fit. The dreamer put them there, because it's a dream.
Oh boy, here I go killing myself again
Probably better than pineapple
True, however - as I replied to a similar remark - the (presumably humorous) comment that keeps getting downvoted is technically correct

Yeah, I posted it first on Reddit on r/ProgrammerHumor and saw it reposted on r/196 (got way more upvotes there), then I reposted it here myself when Reddit did the Reddit and I moved here.
Tbf it is a good meme...
I didn't think it would be reposted so many times when I made it *^*
The joke has been lost because the drive's technology is ill-suited for permament storage.
If only we had a hard drive...

My headcanon as to why missions are on a strict timer
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Things that happen in game differently from my headcanon:
- During a dive, destroyers just hang around over player heads
- Even worse, there's an actual game mechanic that causes orbital stratagems to have an AoA at 90° at the center of the map but lower it at the edges, like the ships were actually hovering over the center (realistically, all orbital stratagems calls would have roughly the same AoA)
- I say "even worse", because I have to actively ignore a decision the devs made for the sake of realism rather than just tell myself "eh, they didn't think about this too much"
- Even worse, there's an actual game mechanic that causes orbital stratagems to have an AoA at 90° at the center of the map but lower it at the edges, like the ships were actually hovering over the center (realistically, all orbital stratagems calls would have roughly the same AoA)
- Orbital stratagem timings make no sense, and are strictly a gameplay balance issue that cannot be realistic: the loading screen shows the first helldiver drops well outside the atmosphere and take several minutes to reach the ground, but turrets take 3 seconds to deploy? This game sucks, literally unplayable
- Surely Eagles must be capable of atmosphereless flight, if the cheap ahh shuttle is?
- At the beginning of the loading screen, the destroyer doesn't have an atmospheric re-entry fire effect which would be countered by shields or whatever
Things that oddly do make sense:
- Hellpods do have the atmospheric re-entry fire effect immediately after launching, which wouldn't make sense in the absence of (less than extremely thin) atmosphere
- ... that's it, actually
The reason I made this nerd emoji of a post:
I've played KSP and my suspension of disbelief towards games or shows with spaceships is completely broken.

Recently switched to Hyprland, launched the homemade game engine I'm working on, and for some reason I saw the Hyprland mascot looming over the mountains...

Definitely not something I made for r/ProgrammerHumor before it got reposted on r/196

No harm in asking, nw:
The first one that comes to mind is Fortnite, it has been used for advertising Halo and Star Wars, at least I think those were sponsors veiled as simple crossovers but I'm sure they're not the only sponsors/crossovers.
Though, mostly I was refering to almost every live-service game as of late, if you count "please check out the shop and buy these new skins" as advertisements. They're not being paid by third parties to deliver them, but they sure were as annoying as TV ads when I experienced them...
The latest example I can think of is Sea Of Thieves, where I still haven't fully figured out how menus work because sometimes half of the screen points you to some kind of shop.
