What’s being tested here is your monitor’s calibration/color reproduction, yes.

It wouldn’t let me scroll the page up on the results screen for some reason. I expected to do MUCH much worse considering I’m massively colorblind
Two Notes:
-
I need to clean my very old, very mediocre screen.
-
This is very painful in the middle of an eyeritis flare up.
[EDIT]
Was I supposed to do this on my phone? I used my PC for it.

This was fun.
it’s pretty unscientific. I watched the HTML to get a perfect game in hard, and even with 3 misses on normal I got 0.0011. I think the maths isn’t very good, especially in the later rounds where there’s a clearly discernible difference because the random direction picked for the next colour ends up only changing one of the hue, saturation, or value

some of this is coming down to like, viewing angle.
I should put this on the CRT and twiddle the knobs.
but not now, my head hurts
Beyond Two Souls. Beat the Navajo part. Some aspects of it were painful but mostly not the same ones that were painful to @Gimelrey , even though those were also bad. Showing up and knocking on rural people’s doors randomly is not good practice generally. Going from being told to leave to asking invasive questions about everything of material value or relevance to their personal safety seems like basically the exact opposite of sanity or respect. They summoned an evil ghost to kill the white people and then Jodie, the estranged survivor of evil western science uses her traumatic surpassing of science to benefit and complete The Navajo System: this is an insanely weird and not fully articulate spin on white savior tropes, science is bad tropes, ancient exotic peoples had knowledge production which was better than modernity… whatever. I don’t get why after I realize the amulets are protective I can’t put them back in the place where they are being protective, that just seems entirely insane even by Main Character is an Idiot standards. Riding a horse was the most fun I had in the entire game solely because it was the only context in which any motion was pleasant and fluid, and then extremely inconsistently. Navajo dad’s Navajo voice is conspicuously entirely different from his English voice. Jodie spends the entire game broken and unable to clean her own house so her being able to solve some subaltern people’s severe ancestral problem is perhaps the gross part of it. Girl who has talked to twelve people in her entire life, extracted documents from a Saudi safe once, then been homeless subsequently please solve all my problems. “You have helped our people Jodie”. What a miserable universe where that could be true.

I did this days ago on an iPhone 12S and am quite red green color blind to the point I almost never wear those colors on purpose. Am I crazy or is this the highest score posted here?
Edit: must be golf scoring, right?

oh so alex winger, is it
i really like his arcade story mode; it’s another of those ambivalent, emotionally nuanced ones that sf6 does so well
the explanation for his particular crisis of self at the current moment of his life caused a visceral reaction in my chest
i also like how ryu is characterized
i’d post a few screenshots, but i feel like the emotional punch here is worth stumbling into blind, for those who may fight with the streets
sf6 continues to hammer the “snk” button in a way snk hasn’t managed in an age now
alex is another legacy character who has never particularly spoken to me; although i respected the effort in trying something new with the series protagonist, and i appreciated his starkly hewn nuyawkness, as a character alex just seemed like Some Guy, who happened to be there for no personal reason
and like basically every other paper-thin legacy character, sf6 very quickly made me care about the doofus. i expected it would, on the basis of the team’s prior art
though i wasn’t enthusiastic about alex, i reserved judgement until i saw how much of a real person the current devs turned him into
and, whuf. i’ve just been sitting here after a first arcade run, slowly jamming my fingers at this touchscreen here and trying to regulate my breathing
… for how long? and i can still feel the crackle in my skin, the glowy pressure within my breast, the cathartic rinse of my orbital sockets
fuck, these guys are good
i will be so upset if they wrap this game without using the opportunity for a thoughtful modern take on poison

found out ready or not is actually about domestic gladio and you’re a school of the americas guy inserted into the department to justify increased use of force and militarization of the police, and I gotta hand it to them, this is kind of clever. this was a huge surprise to me because i think we are all familiar with the controversies around this game, in retrospect perhaps it was naive to expect anything but grotesquerie considering how the 2020s have gone so far
I don’t think this was ever going to escape swat 4 comparisons but it’s worth talking about because this game has a very similar scoring system, in that despite the premise you actually really really want to be avoiding having to kill people as much as possible. my biggest issue is that the score screen at the end is not nearly as descriptive as swat 4’s, like you would see exactly how you lost points from a suspect being killed or wounded instead of arrested, but here it’ll just say “suspects neutralized 5/5” or whatever and you have to intuit that your B rank was bc it was a slaughterhouse. In general the other aspect you have to deal with is stress, like it’s actually modeled in game, because unsurprisingly your officers react badly to phoenix program tactics and and prefer suspects be brought in alive.
I do think it’s interesting that in one mission a fed jumps onto the radio telling you to cover up evidence they are involved in sex trafficking, your character protests, and your S rank hinges on whether or not you follow orders. doing the morally right thing here is not rewarded with good boy points, so it’s up to the player to follow their spook conditioning or not. it is funny that you do not have the same latitude with the rich pedophiles in this game, whom your bosses insist not be harmed, so you have to resist magdumping into them after playing a harrowing level that makes you feel sick as you get deeper into it. this game has a lot of levels that have the same vibe as the compound from SWAT 4 where it starts as fun and games as the cultists are casting wizard spells at you until you get into the basement and see their kids buried in duffle bags with copies of Dianetics placed on top. except it’s 2020s and our ripped from the headlines crap is way worse so it’s like journey into the pedo data center and school shootings. there is also a lot more terrorism in this game than happens in america irl but all the SWAT games are kinda like that, at least here there is again the domestic gladio angle - in the latest DLC all the active shooters wear the same gear as you because they’re fedpilled and the civilians no longer know who is a cop and who isn’t so they are way more scared and less compliant than usual because the cops basically act like the shooters already. which again is Interesting.
I do wanna stress though that even as this material is fairly edgy by most peoples standards I don’t think the game thinks it’s like epic or whatever, the pulse nightclub shooting based level is actually very intense and sobering, I understand why the developers put a trigger warning on the steam page for this game. there is a part where you can turn the music off and the actual soundscape of what’s going on starts to sink in and it’s uhhhhhh yeah I don’t know man they made something very effecting here with this game in some aspects. Also the only game I’ve ever seen that seems to acknowledge the insane shit the NOPD was up to after Katrina?? It’s crazy!
the conflict between score, stress, and reality makes it even more pointed that the department is drowning in every stupid fucking operator gun of the last ten years but only a small, adequate collection of beanbag shotguns and pepperball guns, aka the best shit to give your guys in SWAT 4. as usual you have to make the choice to use that stuff or not: your CIA handlers would prefer you roll into the quikstop with an M4 and start canoeing tweakers even though gunfire seems to freak suspects out so bad it turns into a NO MERCY!!! [sprints to hide in the nearest bathtub] situation.
So the 2nd level you’re responding to like a swatting in this apartment complex, OK, normal stuff, but we deploy and I’m not even two feet into the foyer before some guy in the stairwell is blasting a hi-point at me and I have to drop him. we go up the stairs and the second floor has like an illegal crypto mining operation guarded by loyal axe gang members who immediately open fire on my team and refuse to surrender at all. I like 9 bang these fucking guys and they’re still stumbling around trying to shoot me so we have to drop literally everyone except some skinhead in the kitchen. then on the third floor was like the streamer’s actual apartment we were responding to a cacll from, which had no less than five guys in shiestys roaming around with shotguns and uzis looking at all his big titty anime statues, stewie griffin funko pops and bedside drawer csam. even after flashing the room almost everyone was dead or incapacitated besides the ped twitch streamer lol
it was such a bloodbath that after the level the game helpfully told me that my officers were “In Crisis” and the police psychologist forced them into department mandated therapy immediately meaning I no longer have enough officers to do the next mission with a full team. turns out having to kill like 11 people is very bad mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
I dunno maybe this game is good?? fuck if I know.
