it won't install though

night ginkgo
#

from steam?

#

steam should just download it regardless, that's weird

sharp pawn
#

I don't know, man

hollow wolf
#

Thanks Roomba

wheat yarrow
#

Some more new Ep4 footage and some new music

crystal spruce
#

too linear and action focused

#

also where is the enemy variety

plain grail
#

where is the cover system and regenerating health

#

i need someone to tell me to stay frosty while i am oscar mike

plucky isle
#

Where are my precious cutscenes?

sharp pawn
#

Why do all the enemies fire projectiles hitscan is a superior technique

vestal palm
#

I partly agree with them. They are right about almost everything said except the weapons in my opinion. Having a bit of variation would be nice, but great classic levels are fine as well. Also, finding the review funny ain't that respectful, is it?

devout jackal
#

That's just the Steam community for you. Honestly Steam reviews aren't taken very seriously in my opinion.

vestal palm
#

You're right. Criticizing negative reviews and finding them funny is rather the sad reality. Just disagree and leave it there, no need to make a joke out of it.

devout jackal
#

I agree, but it'll never change, so I just ignore Steam community opinions for the most part.

crystal spruce
#

It's just one negative review. It's ok lol

dire briar
#

I still need to reply to that review

#

after I post the episode 4 stuff

#

im sure he'll come around after more content and stuff is added

plucky isle
#

Episode 4 when

plain grail
#

it's not that the reviews are negative it's that their reasoning is dumb

#

amid evil does have genuine flaws, a few bugs here and there, bosses that are a bit underwhelming

dire briar
#

I mean he mostly thinks it needs more content now

#

I mean theyre all valid crits

#

at least its not some meme review

#

2/10 needs more water

#

ill reply after I put up the ep 4 stuff today

plain grail
#

which review are we even talking about

dire briar
#

the one neg review on AE

#

theres only one

#

:-p

plain grail
#

oh

#

yeah i'm reading it now

#

he has a few valid crits but mostly he's flat out wrong

dire briar
#

shrug

plain grail
#

the trident is definitely not the same as the staff and the whisper's edge is hands-down the most flexible and utilitarian weapon

#

that should be your official response

#

DEVELOPER RESPONSE:

#

🤷

plucky isle
#

DEVELOPER RESPONSE:
🖕

plain grail
#

🔫 BIGJOHN 🖕

vestal palm
#

It's their opinion, there is no "flat out wrong"

plain grail
#

when he says that the voltride is just an upgraded version of the staff despite their behavior being very different, yes there is

vestal palm
#

It is, it has a much better version of the soul mode and the lack of seeking projectiles is not making any difference.

crystal spruce
#

as i said before it reads more like a "why i don t like the genre" also whats wrong with a little fun no one is insulting the guy

vestal palm
#

He clearly likes the genre if he played the games it's inspired from

crystal spruce
#

and i also think that u use voltride and azure in different situations as their behavior is quite different aswell. And even if the next weapon u get after the staff feels upgraded compared to the first one lol welcome to fps games

plain grail
#

it's not though because it's much longer effective range, is basically hitscan rather than projectile, and has the chain lightning overkill

crystal spruce
#

yeah but stating that the level design is "too linear and action focused" holy fuck man, i got the feel he tried so hard to sound smart and competent that it went down the hill but yeah u got to give him at least credit for writing a review

#

also the azure got homing shit

plain grail
#

not all opinions are created equal

#

sometimes they're poorly justified or not rational

#

sometimes personal taste overshadows any attempt at objective assessment

crystal spruce
#

however i think a lil fun is allright

plain grail
#

everyone has a right to their opinion, but that doesn't mean i have to respect it if it's not well thought-out

#

and yeah "too linear and action focused" makes the assumption that linear and action focused isn't the entire goddamn point of the retro fps subgenre

#

that's why we're here

#

i don't want puzzles and platforming

#

i want to shoot planets at demons

crystal spruce
#

see that planet?

plain grail
#

he makes other good criticisms with regard to enemy variety in ep3 and such, but the level/weapons points are just not good points

crystal spruce
#

i still can t hop on that enemy variety train in any kind of form

#

you got more variety in the 3 episodes than in most AAA titles released in the last few years and no one gave a fuck about that

#

let me introduce you to

#

Shotgun Dude, AR Dude, Sniper Dude and Tanky LMG Dude

vestal palm
#

It's all opinions and his point is valid for him. There is no thing we can really point to as a valid objective point.

plain grail
#

weapon behavior is

#

facts

#

not opinions

#

in the grammatical sense, objectively correct or incorrect

#

but w/e

vestal palm
#

It is facts, but whether somebody is going to like or not is subjective. The old weapons are only useful in soul mode, especially number 3 which is op

plain grail
#

er, no, whisper's edge is probably the most versatile weapon in the game and highly situational, azure orb staff is great for when you're getting mobbed and need to keep moving, voltride is great for picking off clusters of enemies

crystal spruce
#

^

nocturne tapir
#

i find that the azure staff is actually pretty great for picking off enemies at distances, especially when forced to keep moving

#

in such cases, the voltride is difficult to hit consistently with

#

and it's the only other weapon that's suitable for sniping if the enemy can move around

#

actually lemme check out the review and see how much i'm tempted to explode into umbrage without giving in to said temptation

#

ok yeah some of the points aren't entirely thought through if you ask me (which none of you did but look how much i don't care lol)

#

i agree that people can think what they want but as a (very) budding game designer i take minor umbrage to seeing things being called bad with no real suggestions on how to improve them besides "do it better"

plain grail
#

that commentary is bad

#

do it better

nocturne tapir
#

NON, for i am a Bad Dude, i do not do better

versed violet
#

Wait did someone actually make their name the slurms mckenzie tag

hidden dune
#

yeah

#

it's been like this for about 3 weeks now

versed violet
#

I feel like youre the reason its been in my head for ages but i also dont remember seeing it

hidden dune
#

maybe because I don't post here as much as I used to back in November/December?

#

no offense new blood

#

but I can only get hyped up for muh retro for so long

#

well

#

that is until muh purple AE episode leaks of course

dire briar
#

sooonananana

hidden dune
#

also that dark green one

#

that one looked cool

dire briar
#

u get sun episode next

versed violet
#

Sun ep best ep

plucky isle
#

SUN is SOON

wooden aurora
#

with the next episode I won't see sun

hidden dune
#

will there be an easter egg where if you shoot the sun 50 times with the planet launcher it turns into Leon's face?

plucky isle
#

lmao

hidden dune
dire briar
#

I saw that today LOL

#

poor andewq

hidden dune
plucky isle
#

Quit swallowing the bait, those people are just trolling imo

#

'cause grafix suxk, musik sux, pixelz suck, no regeneration etc etc

hidden dune
#

dude wrote too many words to be a troll lol

#

the second coming of boocheus

plucky isle
#

well there are alwasy the ones that can actually flood the forums with such kinda looong posts

hidden dune
#

he thinks if you set "raw mouse input" it makes your mouse sensitivity the same as on your desktop

#

when has a game EVER done that?

#

all raw input does is feed your mouse polling info directly into the game iirc

plucky isle
#

can't tell tbh

#

but I wonder how dafuq people ever complain about such trifle mouse stuff

#

I mean

#

It's not NioH at the very launch

hidden dune
#

trackpad > optical mice plebs

plucky isle
#

Touchscreen beats 'em all xD

nocturne tapir
#

heck no, real men use that little joystick nub found on older laptops

hidden dune
#

if you don't speedrun AE with this

#

GTFO

plucky isle
#

I speedrun AE with telekinesis

#

so GTFO

#

😛

wooden aurora
#

i dont speedrun AE so GTFO

nocturne tapir
#

i speedrun it with my EYES

plucky isle
#

i dont speedrun AE so CSGO

hidden dune
#

i speedrun the AE store page by clicking "back"

plucky isle
#

i speedrun AE by clicking "refund" button

wooden aurora
#

I got AE from a key so I speedrun AE by removing it from my account

plucky isle
#

I didn't get AE at all so GTFO

wooden aurora
#

I dont have a PC so GTFO

plucky isle
#

I wasn't even born so GTFO.

#

Ahahahaha

#

fuck

wooden aurora
#

shit

nocturne tapir

i speedrun AE so hard it's why you're amid evil and not in front of evil

plucky isle

#

A drink game

#

On NB server

#

I speedrun AE....

wooden aurora
#

every time someone counters you u take a shot

plucky isle
#

ye

#

Fuck, today is such an intense day here

wooden aurora
#

nocturne tapir
#

there's been more than two messages within the last hour!

wooden aurora
#

lol

plucky isle
#

That Dusk match, update discussing, hunting down the bugs

#

Just take a look at duel-at-dusk channel

wooden aurora
#

and 100%ing ep1 and 2

plucky isle
#

YES!

#

That's what makes the most sense

wooden aurora
#

I see what u mean

night ginkgo
#

alright alright what's all this then

plucky isle
#

Oops

night ginkgo
#

heaps of comments lol

#

someone thought the music was placeholder? jeeze

plucky isle
#

trollin' dudes

plain grail
#

i think that review there is just someone who sucks at listening to music

#

or is mad that it's not their preferred flavor soundcloud rapper subgenre

night ginkgo
#

ok, replacing ae sountrack with TING GOES SKRAAA

plain grail
#

hulshult needs to rename himself "lil champeezy" or some shit and replace the entire ost with trap-hop and dubstep

#

but seriously no joke that guy's a moron, this soundtrack is fucking incredible and it suits the visuals and gameplay perfectly

#

hulshult knows how to use a synthesizer

night ginkgo
#

I fucking love the soundtrack

#

like seriously it's so good idgi

devout olive
#

literally how could you have better matching music

plain grail
#

i mean it's even trendy right now, synthwave's enjoying a surge in popularity, and while this OST isn't synthwave it sure as fuck has a lot of sound palette overlap

night ginkgo
#

it's not even a genre you can define

#

because it's varied

hidden dune
#

Like I don't want to keep shitting on this random Steam forums user, but I can actually remember some of Hulshult's tracks after shutting the game off

#

There's a lot of games where I forget the music as I listen to it

plain grail
#

it's vidya OST

#

that's the genre

#

also why don't you want to keep shitting on random steam forums users

#

it's great fun

hidden dune
#

low-hanging fruit

night ginkgo
#

lmao well everyone's entitled to their opinion

hidden dune
#

some people are just entitled though

night ginkgo
#

however that comment was ruthless: calling it 'placeholder'

plain grail
#

so much so that you can safely discount his opinion

wheat yarrow
#

I mean...can't please everyone and music is terribly subjective...but holy shit...take that into consideration before you write a post haha.

steel brook
#

Not sure what he was expecting

#

ye olde medieval music with lutes and harps?

#

runescape midis...

wheat yarrow
#

idk but it's odd that he doesent think it fits. Makes me think he lost out on a childhood of unreal

night ginkgo
#

I'm replacing the entire soundtrack with this one song

#

sorry andrew

wheat yarrow
#

yeeeeeeeeeeeees

#

nah just delete the soundtrack and replace it with ASMR videos

#

lmao

versed violet
#

Imagine just being whispered to and hearing mic scrapes while playing

#

Would still play tbh

night ginkgo
#

I should make a play list of all the stuff I listened to while making AE

#

hope you guys like extremely obscure music from the old days

versed violet
#

The old days is anything before 2000 for me

night ginkgo
#

yeah I'm talking 60's/70's

versed violet
#

Ancient times

#

I dont mind it depending on the genre

#

AEDEV playlist pls

dark granite
#

Leons probably just a prog nut

night ginkgo
#

nope

#

I like music

wheat yarrow
#

lol that answer

dark granite
#

LMAO

wheat yarrow
#

Leon likes MUSIC not MATH PROBLEMS

dark granite
#

i mean

#

shit like genesis

night ginkgo
#

yeah tbh I like prog and fusion jazz etc but only specific artists

dark granite
#

cmon

night ginkgo
#

I think cam is the genesis fan

dark granite
#

yeah he is

#

me too

night ginkgo
#

I'm not really into them

dark granite
#

fair enough

wheat yarrow
#

but wait

dark granite
#

not for everyone definitely

wheat yarrow
#

music IS math

dark granite
#

NICE

wheat yarrow
#

great movie

#

also unintentionally funny at times

#

kind of like falling down

versed violet
#

Falling down is wonderful

night ginkgo
#

yeah great film

#

was talking about it the other day heh

crystal spruce
#

lol, another expert opinion from steam. The guy probably wanted some power metal cheese or something

#

andre ith noth epicth enuth

nocturne tapir
#

i like cheesy power metal but i also really like the soundtrack for AE as it is now, it fits super well

#

not all action games have to have cheesy power metal :v

#

the thing about AE is that besides the fast paced action segments, it's also very atmospheric, and frankly i think that having metal blaring in the background at all times would clash with the quiet moments

quasi pier
#

yep,metal music dosnt fit AE

frosty drift
#

mhm

#

an epic score is perfect for AE

crystal spruce
#

Genesis was the first band I liked in mid 80s... Invisible Touch, Land of Confusion

#

I can't Dance was my first favorite song... I don't know their older stuff but any of it I've listened to is sussudio

plucky isle
#

Can's say I like post-Gabriel era

#

Too pop-oriented stuff

crystal spruce
#

Abacab

plucky isle
#

My favs will always be Nursery Cryme, foxtrot, Selling.... and Lamb lies...

crystal spruce
#

Lamb lies down is good stuff

plucky isle
#

Sure it is

#

I mean, part 2 is a bit weird sometimes

#

but anyway

KICKS ASS

#

I, uh
I like cavemen smacking sticks and rocks together
don't know any old music

gloomy pike
#

are you guys ever going to release this game uncooked when its finished?

#

so people can mod it

plain grail
#

i don't think epic would allow that tbh

gloomy pike
#

they wouldnt?

plain grail
#

not sure really, but leon's indicated quite strongly that modding's probably not on the table

frosty drift
#

modding is unlikely but not totally impossible

#

uncooked builds though? absolutely not

plain grail
#

i mean it's possible

#

if you guys want to get sued that is

cursive kestrel
#

Epic would allow you to publish an uncooked build, nothing against that

#

The issue there is that it means releasing the entire game for free

#

That's not really an option

frosty drift
#

yeah ^

plain grail
#

sure it is

frosty drift
#

it's not a legal issue

plain grail
#

don't be greedy

cursive kestrel
#

hue

frosty drift
#

we gotta still make some money at the end of the day

plain grail
#

make it like star trek, where they've evolved beyond money

#

get it started now and soon we'll have FTL travel and replicators and holodecks

#

then the holodeck will malfunction and accidentally create life and/or violate causality

night ginkgo
#

I'm still investigating

#

For example you can't use uncooked maps with ae

#

So modders will need to cook

#

We'll see what happens

steady thistle
#

Put it on the oven and it's done

plain grail
#

no amid evil sashimi

#

lame

night ginkgo
#

amid memes

#

so today I've made it so you can scale the HUD size, and also make the screen flashes less intense

#

I know that was requested by some peeps

#

wew

gentle zealot
#

yay! \o/

plain grail
#

the flashes got a bit much when you're grabbing a whole line of mana/blood yeah

#

any idea how soon the update will be ready?

night ginkgo
#

when almighty god approves

#

i.e. dave

plain grail
#

I was going to say there's no :DaveApproved: but then I saw davegasm

#

that's more his style anyway

#

DAVE 🔫 BIGJOHN

#

CONFUZION

crystal spruce
#

hey is there any restart command in amid evil like in dusk?

vestal palm
#

not currently iirc

night ginkgo
#

What do you want to restart?

#

You can always load an auto save if you want to start the level again

#

If you want to play every level starting with just the axe, enable warrior mode in the game options

crystal spruce
#

as in restart the level, and yeah i could do that but the ability to quickly restart a level without it having to be a load is a nice option, even if its not a very nice bind like in Dusk i would love to see it in the esc menu as a one click restart current level

night ginkgo
#

Right, I getcha

#

Might not be enough room in the menu lol

sand lintel
#

easiest way for me to restart levels is to just explode and respawn but im pretty sure that still forces axe start

night ginkgo
#

Yeah it does^ (aesplode)

crystal spruce
#

yeah, so far i have just been killing myself

sand lintel
#

i think it could benefit to work like dusks does, if you do implement an option, where it reloads the map with what you came in with instead

crystal spruce
#

hitting a button would be very niceu tho

#

would love long time

night ginkgo
#

I'll see what I can do

gloomy pike
#

@night ginkgo sorry about asking you to release the game uncooked I didn’t understand that it would mean the game would be free

proper oxide
#

It's not okay. You have to leave

gloomy pike
#

I’m not tech/code savvy

dark granite
#

hes kidding

#

lol

gloomy pike
#

Yeah

plain grail
#

he's not kidding, leave and don't let the door hit you on the way out

#

it's a very heavy door, please be careful

#

we don't want you to get hurt

#

as a matter of fact we should have someone hold the door open for you

#

hold on just stay here for a bit while we find someone

Minus everything that makes it like dark souls except the dying part

vestal palm
#

^

#

If amid evil had the world of dark souls I would explode

#

I mean the openness of the levels and the verticality

#

Variety is already there plus the enemies

night ginkgo
#

the levels get more vertical and weird as the game goes on

#

I mean that entire tower is part of the level

#

it's hugely vertical

vestal palm
night ginkgo
#

oh yeah that's not really feasable for two people heh

cinder mist
#

thats the dark souls of level design

vestal palm
#

Haha yea, I can't even imagine something like that if the game is coming out this decade.

night ginkgo
#

just found a super early AE screenshot

versed violet
#

looks pretty current

night ginkgo
#

the axe was pretty much the first thing made

buoyant phoenix
#

What a shame you replaced the normal mapped stick with it.

#

I really wanted to be the guy who slays evil with a stick

vestal palm
#

Question. Is there any level that takes as much as an ad level would? Like a huge map that takes 40 50 minutes

buoyant phoenix
#

I hope so.

night ginkgo
#

nah

buoyant phoenix
#

What a shame.

night ginkgo
#

it probably wouldn't perform great

#

that's a long time for a fps map

#

like I can't think of one that would take that long

vestal palm
#

Wow ue4 is kinda shite then

night ginkgo
#

well it's totally do-able

#

it would probably require streaming levels and such

#

which is no big deal

#

but why bother

#

it just makes it harder to make

#

at some point you have to compromise

buoyant phoenix
#

Also will the noclip cheats be introduced with the solar solstice?

night ginkgo
#

uh maybe >_>

#

I'll try get it working now

#

heh it's been in the backlog for a while

vestal palm
#

Are there going to be any changes to the other 3 episodes?

proper oxide
#

Hell Revealed 2's final map takes about an hour and a half

night ginkgo
#

no major changes, but we will revist them eventually

proper oxide
#

If doom can do it

vestal palm
#

ok

proper oxide
#

So can you leon

night ginkgo
#

doom mods don't count fuck

night ginkgo
#

I am intimately familiar with that^

#

there's only two people working on AE remember, it makes no sense for us to go making massive levels

vestal palm
#

Really cool things you can do. I was worried that newer engines wouldn't be able to do that.

night ginkgo
#

unreal's OK at it

vestal palm
#

Yea, like I said the game needs to come out this decade so it's better for it

night ginkgo
#

I think fortnite and pubg will help make it handle larger maps better

#

cryengine was amazing at giant levels

vestal palm
#

A well crafted level can be as great as the epic one

night ginkgo
#

well is

#

I have really gone off open world

#

same with procedural generation

#

hand crafted all the way for me

vestal palm
#

I know you're familiar with that, you told me about it :)

night ginkgo
#

heh

#

I thought you were like suggesting it to me 😛

#

all good

vestal palm
night ginkgo
#

@buoyant phoenix no clip cheat working

#

will be in ep4 build

devout olive
#

open worlds are just becoming so boring tbh

buoyant phoenix
#

Cool now I'll be able to clip into Ep7's teleporter room and find out what it's called

night ginkgo
#

it's not named

#

so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

buoyant phoenix
#

What a shame

crystal spruce
#

AE procedural, open world, rouge like coming up. See that mount.... eh plan.... whatever you can go there

night ginkgo
#

you can visit the planets before you shoot them!

crystal spruce
#

oshit

winged ibex
#

AE 2, now with procedural worlds, see that skybox, you can't go there, but you can dream I guess.

night ginkgo
#

see that blade of grass? you can eat it

devout olive
#

yum

winged ibex
#

See that guy over here, his name is Leon, and he makes good memes, you can shoot planets at him.

night ginkgo
#

see your reflection in your monitor? it's a true visage of desperation and social awkardness

devout olive
#

oh.

winged ibex
#

All enemies have procedurally generated names and personalities.

night ginkgo
#

ae2 with free depression

#

and anxiety

devout olive
#

please stop leon

pseudo moss
#

if i already have the depression and anxiety can i get a discount on the game

night ginkgo
#

sure

winged ibex
#

Please continue Leon.

devout olive
#

you are giving me shadow warrior 2 flashbacks

buoyant phoenix
#

AE is actually the metaphor for a man whos mind was taken over by depression.

night ginkgo
#

amid bad thoughts

winged ibex
#

Amid Evil is actually a metaphor for memes.

#

You see, the Amid Evil guy, is a meme.

#

And you capture the worlds, with memes.

#

Amid Evil is memes.

vestal palm
#

Here's a bad idea. How about making all levels in an episode 1 single level? I remember e1 well though and don't remember the rest so I just based it off of that

#

remember, this is a bad idea

night ginkgo
#

well... lol if I remember right they'd all intersect

vestal palm
#

map 1 is a direct elevator to map 2 and the map 2 exit is the entrance to to map 3 and the exit of map 3 is the entrance of map 4

night ginkgo
#

map1 - 2 are connected yeah

#

but map 3 isn't

vestal palm
#

good to know thanks

sand lintel
#

is there a possibilty to add what difficulty the level was just played in to the end level result screen?

#

would be nice to help moderation on the speerun.com page when some levels aren't so evident of how many enemies are actually in it

crystal spruce
#

i agree with this, cuz sometimes you forget to tab open the score screen

#

ALSO put the invulnerable powerup on E3M2 on hard more !!!!

#

makes it less dope with the planet jumping

sand lintel
#

that level is the dopest for planet jumping haha, by far the best example of it's usefulness in the game

crystal spruce
#

yeah, its a fun powerup that i missed very much when it was not there :(

night ginkgo
#

yeah I'll add difficulty to the level end screen

#

probably won't be changing that god mode tho, hard is hard mate

dont mind me just writing 600 word replies to Steam reviews

#

I hope this dude comes back for Ep 4

#

his crits of the weapons and stuff are just kind of false

#

but if you dont experiment with them I see how you can think that

#

especially in Ep 3

#

we'll probably revisit that episode in terms of enemy variety and behavior

hexed obsidian
#

That's some effort right there. In what world is AE an arena shooter? 🤔

vocal ingot
#

A lot of people use that to just mean any classic fps

night ginkgo
#

I would say arena shooter is more quake3/ut

#

but that's just me

vocal ingot
#

Because thats what they tend to be in multiplayer

#

They're wrong mind you, but it's not uncommon

versed violet
#

Rocket league is an arena shooter

night ginkgo
#

heh

#

it's car soccer

Shooting goals in an arena

If arenas were long and shaped like well thought out levels i suppose AE would be

how's controller support in this game? I have shitty wrists and can't play games with mouse and keyboard like I used to.

crystal spruce
#

wow

#

what happend with ur wrists that u can t play with mouse and keyboard dude

#

i mean, its not like you working on a heavy bag or something so ur wrists must be really bad dude

outer atlas
#

I was really just asking about the controller support lol, but simply put I had an injury a few years back.

crystal spruce
#

you don t need to answer if you don t want to

outer atlas
#

Obviously using a mouse is not heavy lifting, and I can do most everything else without pain/fatigue, it's just not as fun as it was in the past.

nocturne tapir
#

can relate, my fingers have suffered under the constant stress of a lot of videogames :v

#

i'll give the controller thing a quick test, see how it works

outer atlas
#

It doesn't have to be perfect implementation, but if I can get through the menus and maybe apply some light aim assist I would be happy.

#

Sorry if my request offends top tier players.

crystal spruce
#

eh i don t think so

gentle zealot
#

yeah there's controller support

nocturne tapir
#

doesn't seem to work in menus but in game it does

#

not much tweaking to do though

outer atlas
#

I'll give it a go and see what happens.

nocturne tapir
#

if nothing else, azure staff has homing shots :v

gentle zealot
#

plays nice with the steam controller if you got one of them

crystal spruce
#

just was curious cause with the right mouse and keyboard setup your wrist can stay in a neutral position and its good

outer atlas
#

yeah I've been through a lot of different variations over the years and it's always just meh

crystal spruce
#

i m also curious cause i m working in medicine

#

orthopedics shit n stuff

#

especially the shit

outer atlas
#

I see.

#

I used an Evoluent mouse for a month and it helped at first, but ultimately I still felt pain/fatigue.

crystal spruce
#

did u thought about using a soft brace?

outer atlas
#

Using a track ball subsequently has been my best bet for work.

#

Haven't used a brace, what are the advantages?

crystal spruce
#

prevents movement which causes pain and fatigue, helps with blood circulation through compression

nocturne tapir
#

also gives you the ability to parry swords unarmed if it has a metal bit

crystal spruce
#

fresh blood is always good for bad joints

outer atlas
#

lol always down to parry

#

thanks HarT I'll look into it

crystal spruce
#

yeah you can write me a pm if u want a recommendation of products

nocturne tapir
#

but i don't have anyone to sacrifice for fresh blood :C

#

though admittedly it's my tendons and not my wrist that are a tad fucked

#

slow going but it seems to be getting better, at least enough for me to play AE without pain :V

outer atlas
#

that's good

#

I take vitamin B6 for my wrist and I think it helps a little...

#

maybe

nocturne tapir
#

i was just a dumbass who didn't give his hand(s) proper rest after a round of tenosynovitis and subsequent RSI

I love how he refers to AE as "overpowered skyrim"

nocturne tapir

Amid Nords

outer atlas
#

though the games are very different, AE also scratches my RUNE itch.

#

Though that game is pretty jank by today's standards, I still love how you can co-op any level in that game super easily.

#

Adding co-op to any action game is a great way to add replay value.

But just wielding fat melee weapons is so satisfying.

Die hard told entirely through shitposts seems like an interesting idea really.

#

A good day to die hard

#

Bruce Willis and his shitty son shove someone into the blades of a helicopter multiple times and the same line “I’m on vacation” gets repeated 50 times over

#

It’s fucking mind numbingly bad

#

At least die hard 4.0 can be watched and you can have a good laugh with it

i thought those were the same film lol
