Lockdown 2020: A Grab Bag Of Gaming "Goodness"

Oh hell yes, adding this to may list to watch later.

I really enjoyed seeing Rorie run through several somewhat new games. He was getting the Spelunky shakes by the end but I appreciate the fun grab bag stream.

1:45:55.

That is all.

I'd love to watch Rorie do a premium limited draft (the one where you draft with real people).

I am very bad at drafting and limited in general, so I usually don't do it! But Jumpstart is hitting in a couple of days. Maybe I'll try to do a euro-timed stream at some point at like, midnight pacific or something.

@rorie: I'd watch it. I used to be really bad at drafting and mostly avoided it, but it became my favorite format during Theros. You don't just see the same 4 net decks all the time; there ends up being a lot more creative decks even with a much smaller card pool. I think a really general tip is just pick good stuff first round of picks, and dedicate yourself to a color pair for the final 2 rounds.

Man devs need to tone down the motion blur.

Extremely interesting metrics and units of measurement in the Salvage-verse

Woah how did I miss huntdown? That game looks rad :D

yeah I really meant to dig more into those settings but completely forgot. There's some weird shit in there!

I think it was free on Epic for a hot minute? Seems kind of fun.

Matt's low-key been doing some of my favorite videos in recent months. They're not super frequent, but they're super good.

These let's play a bunch of random games are actually pretty great. I enjoyed this immensely. Especially with Rorie at the wheel. Great way to see a lot of different games. "man this guy talks a lot! Is it me!" Bless you Rorie. You're awesome.

Having some familiarity with doing mesh deformations using bones, that looks like an actual technical thing to me. It would be the number of bones used to calculate the deformation of a mesh vertex.

You can think of bones being like magnets pulling and pushing on the skin of a character. To keep the computational cost down you limit the number of bones that are considered at any point. Typically the three of four nearest/strongest ones.

That is the first time I've seen it as a user setting in a game though.

Neat. Hadn’t heard of these, I don’t think, with the exception of Townscaper.

the fleshlight flashlight slip early on got me hooked in immediately :D

I dig the "lets check out some games" streams.

@jarno: Interesting! Thanks for the insight

@jarno: Yeah this was my thought as well, But scanning through as the video was going made me do a triple take, lol.

More Rorie content please!

Spoilers for Spelunky segment: Rorie made that look easy.
