When they have consistent traversal mechanics like being able to grab ledges you can jump about chest high to it’s not much of an issue. You intuit where you can go pretty quickly once you understand the movement system. But games where everything you can climb is hand crafted and placed strategically to create a linear experience? You either have to make every climbable surface look identical so players easily recognize it as climbable (hand holds in rocks, vines, etc) or put some kind of marking on it (yellow/white/red paint splashes or highlights).

Trying to remember what it was I was playing recently where I came to a dead end and couldn’t figure out what I was missing because the climbable wall in the dead end was a unique peice of geometry and had no hand holds, markings or anything. It was also the first time you come to a thing you can climb so it wasn’t even established that you could ever go vertical.

Fr. Maybe some of the younger people just need to play some Point and Click games from the 80s snd 90s where they spend hours trying to figure out what they are missing only to discover they forgot a lockpick in the living room that is basically invisible to the human eye since it’s two pixels in a low res image filled with noise. 🤣

Boolamata! Kwerg, mishino!

People complain about the yellow paint, but have you played more modern games that don’t do that or don’t have floating waypoint markers? Spend 10 minutes looking for where you’re supposed to go because they want you to scale a wall that does not look obviously scaleable all because they did nothing to get your attention to it.

People also complained about, IIRC, Hitman Bloodmoney because it started highlighting usable objects when previously the only way you’d know you could use something was by walking up to it and trying to use it. Since you can’t interact with everything showing what can be interacted with is a huge help.

How did that happen? When I worked at the Fremont plant, we were only putting together vehicles that had already been sold. Did they swap from lean manufacturing to the normal, wasteful “just keep making shit perpetually” model? 🤔

Horny because she’s playing LoZ in her undies in bed in a single panel?

I don’t think the artist is the horny one here, bruh.

Given how they lean into it and how they act in this thread and others calling him out, they’re doing it on purpose. To piss people off. As in they are a full on troll and need to be banished back under their bridge, across all instances that give a shit.

They do…?

Signatures and watermarks are in almost all works of art.

A watermark on a piece of recorded music is something that is part of the digital composition. It can be in the metadata, it could be in the waveform itself. You’d only see it through analysis of the file.

Same can, and often is, done with video. Even code for software.

A good watermark is one that isn’t obvious, so it can’t be removed or tampered with.

Watermarks protect the actual creator’s stuff from people claiming it as their own work. This is a dumb idea.
