Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?

Well…….I’ve got mixed feelings about this. There are a lot of games you can make mods with….let’s mention Half-Life, for example. I’ve made a mod with HL. However you gotta read the fine print.

In my case you can make a mod, but you cannot profit from making a mod. You can always upload it to a site like moddb. And let people have fun playing it.

It’s Nintendo’s intellectual property towards the end. I don’t understand how this developer made a great mod, personally I would play this game, for sure, he sounds as smart as anyone can be, without “reading or knowing” the fine print. 👍🏼

@joey302 Joey, you seem like a good person, so I’ll type this to help you out.

1) why did trump get voted out of office?? He lost by 4 million votes in the popular vote.

2) why does everything look better nowadays?? 1 year ago the world felt like Racoon city with Umbrella corporation spreading out the virus like in Resident evil?? It was a madhouse.

3) Why didn’t Trump exit from Afghanistan when he said it was one of his “promises”?? This exit was inevitable, and a result of 3 failed administrations in regards to Afghanistan.

4)Oh and btw, unemployment is the lowest since the pandemic began.

5) Booster shots are good for you. I’m no scientist, but it is science, and in this case it’s important to reference it exactly what it is. A boost.

Re: Feature: Why Aerial_Knight Put His Name On His Game

A lot of people are mixing up a lot of things from the article. There’s a lot of misconceptions that I read in the comments.

First, it appears that he got rejected from certain game development communities just because of his race.

Second, going in a public way give a good message to young black developers to never give up. That’s not a bad message!!

It’s not about a race issue is how I see it. It’s about.....inclusion. Would you guess how many places I applied as a game developer, and was rejected or given the corporate runaround?? Or had hired someone else instead of me?? It’s happened a lot.

So much so that I’m thinking of making my own team in the future if the opportunity and circumstance allows.

Re: Talking Point: Is "Cheesing" A Legitimate Strategy?

MarcusIsCool

I’m not sure. Usually in fighting games I like to corner the opponent and perform a crazy combo. (Is that cheezing??). I find I can always get about 15% more damage that way.

Let’s see....in NBA Jam, I can always get away with a 3 pointer if it happens I have no opponent guarding me. I guess that’s cheezing. But sometimes when I’m ahead like by 10 points in the game, and then there’s one second left, everyone has given up, I like to dunk the basketball.

Hmm, I heard a lot about Dark Souls. I’m sure it’s justified in that game, with the insane difficulties that it has.
