Captain Ahab

This isn't a skill issue. I played the previous entry on and off for 15 years. I know how this is meant to work, but the devs don't. They copied the animations without understanding why it was designed the way it was.

2025-05-25 15:13:32 UTC

Sparking Zero so misunderstood the design of the previous entry that it's actually better to play at 40 fps than it is 60 because the gaps from frame to frame help pace your reflexes.
The old games matched the visuals and the timing of the animations to signal what combos were possible.
Zero imitated those old animations, but didn't concern themselves with the timing so if you want to strategize you have to burn each individual character into your muscle memory to a ridiculous degree bc they all have different timings that aren't properly signified visually.
Some of the unique specialist moves are copied from the older game, but clearly misunderstood, vanishing dashes, for example, consume a ton of energy, make you difficult to hit, and make you move quickly. The point is you trade you offensive power for a few seconds of near invincibility and speed. If you know how to time it, it's great to strategize around.
The reboot includes those vanishing dashes, but without the speed or flexibility, so it's reduced to a flashy useless move. The animations for follow-ups to it are there, but bc the timing is screwed up, it can't actually connect.
It's so damn sloppy under the hood.

My favorite part of God's Not Dead is when Professor Asshole randomly gets hit by a car and renounces his Atheism right before dying, for no reason in particular.
The script is like one of those tweets where someone tells a fake story about owning some guy in an argument, but afterwards that guy trips and falls down some stairs and his pants fall off and everyone laughs at his tiny penis and he goes "truly, I have been undone by my own foolish hubris. You have won."

@nprofile…dp7l In the case of Sparking (where the aesthetic point is more relevant) the reboot was clearly in development for way too fucking long because the character models all look like they're from completely different games, like the art director kept changing, and most of the styles are ugly in different ways. Meanwhile the effects are decent, but don't match the character models at all, and for some reason they KILL performance.
The old games may have stiffer models in an older engine but it has a consistent style and they don't look half bad scaled up to HD, just a bit stiff, and they didn't know to selectively break the models for cutscenes.

Legitimately there is no reason why most games couldn't run on cheap hardware. Devs make modern fames run like shit on purpose.

2025-05-25 03:45:19 UTC

Modern devs make their games so ugly and they still run like shit bc they render a ton of textures and effects that no one wants or likes.
So bootleg modders can just re-shade old shit, often keeping the same engine, and it looks just as good, sometimes better.

@nprofile…dp7l There's not enough left to reconstruct, and the lefties aren't the problem. I've read all the books on this (there aren't many)
Best you're ever going to have is a von List who reinterprets Christian adaptations of Germanic culture as veiled heathenry, and even with him, interesting though he is, it's ultimately made up schizobabble. It's his fan fiction of what he thinks heathery should be, but it's really more reminiscent of a Hellenic mystery school, certainly not Germanic in nature, except superficial labels overtop the structure.
What does neopaganism have in common with the past? It isn't connected to old mystery schools which is where institutional religious beliefs (rather than customs) actually came from pre-Christianity. The neopagans don't seem to realize this, and tbh it wouldn't matter id they did because you cant reconstruct a mystery school, they're mysteries, so they just operate like Christian churchrs.
None of them are living the lifestyle of the old Germanic peoples. The type of praxis resembles American Protestantism, except with images. They also don't have the same relationship with gods that ancients did, which was largely transactional. They stan the gods like they're a sports mascot. Really these aren't the same gods in anything but name.
The closest thing they have to something ancient is runes, but again, the mythos around them is extremely speculative, and so they resort to making shit up, this time ripping off Judaism. Rune mysticism is a Kabbalah ripoff, except Kaballah drew from actual ancient mysteries, runes are more like "How would we present this type of system to people who have jobs?" It's just a worse version of the thing they're trying to rebel against.
"OK, well maybe they're more trying to channel the pagan soul, and the reconstructed practices are just aiding that."
Well, maybe, I've seen that case made, but they're doing a bad job. The largest groups number in the hundreds, and all the philosophers who tried this thought neopagans were gay. Neopagans idolize Nietzsche's philosophy, but every neopagan I've met is fat as fuck, or dysgenic in some other way. They don't take care of themselves and don't live particularly heroic lives at all, they're just fat uneducated hicks. Neopagans love Hitler, but Hitler thought the whole movement was gay and full of dysgenic losers, and openly disavowed them and named their institutions. Neopagans love Evola, who more or less made the same point as me despite at times calling himself a pagan. Paganism is a fiction. The people trying to reconstruct it are, ironically, attempting to build something that Christians invented as a strawman because it was obviously worse than what the Christians had to offer.
The most spiritually pagan thing you can do is lift weights, have lots of kids and be active in your community, tell and retell good stories, and stay as far away as possible from this fake neopagan nerd shit.
