in general I’m glad to see a lot of the stuff in the pipeline using id tech, it looks fun and first-person-shootery in a way that not much does lately

and it’s at least nowhere close to approach UE3 levels of saturation yet

An interactive fart smell releaser for the new South Park videogame. Look I don’t know anything about this game or what kind of libertarian nonsense these guys support these days but this is really making me chuckle and I love it.

Oh. It’s just for tradeshow demos.

I see nothing past the renaissance there. Do you see any top hats and steam powered waistcoats?

Hm, do we need a new name for ‘steam-powered renaissance’ then? ‘DaVinci Punk’? (excuse me I have to clean up my lunch)

the brass fitted automaton has a friggin monocle and you say it’s not steampunk?

A jeweler’s loupe

also note you have to shoot water arrows into their vents to deactivate them

Surfaces look like patinated copper.

Joints/corners could be brass, but brass wasn’t some kind of Victorian period exclusive. Just in Europe it was produced/used extensively throughout the Roman world and continued to be after the collapse of the Empire (albeit in lesser quantities). Some so-called bronze artifacts are actually made of what we’d call brass, since there’s a distinction made between metallurgical bronze and Archaeological Bronze (which is basically Any Copper Alloy That The People Who Made It Would Have Called Bronze but OOPS LOTS OF ZINC MODERN MAN SAYS IT’S REALLY Y INSTEAD OF X).

this rules but does it seem like the game is really reluctant to acknowledge left-click actions, especially when combined with E? I want to make sure whether this is an issue with the game or the laptop I’m using.

What is that NPC at 1:03 doing to that buffalo?
