I got tired of Tenacity staying stagnant for months, and still having documentation link issues. Meanwhile, Audacity was actually making meaningful improvements.

After diving deeper in the nontroversy, and seeing their in-depth video explaining their design decisions, I concluded that they genuinely want to improve the software and aren’t trying to fuck over the OSS community. So, I switched back when I dumped Windows and switched to Linux.

There’s an extreme black and white view of these kinds of issues that crop up in the community that just pisses me off, and shoddy tech reporting doesn’t help matters. This wasn’t a “Oracle buys MySQL” situation, and the response didn’t deserve a fork. But, hey, it’s free software, and people can fork whatever they want.

Martin Stig Andersen. Same guy that made the Limbo soundtrack, except his ambience here seems more polished for a modern era game. Stranger soundscapes than Limbo, which fits the mood. Petri’s stuff is pretty good, too, but it’s a different kind of creepy ambience and he’s not afraid to put more energy behind it for the fight scenes.

I have this in my Halloween playlist to weird out the trick-or-treaters.

I’m still puzzled that they made their masterpiece in SOMA and then wasted years of their life on Amnesia sequels. At least ONTOS is on the horizon.

This stupid new slang meaning for the word can fuck off.

Agreed. I’ve been replaying Space Pirates and Zombies, and all of the crew are called goons. Something Awful’s forum posters were called goons. Watch any TV cartoon from even 15-20 years ago, and the villain probably has a workforce of goons.

I don’t mind repurposing old words, but you got to give it more time to go out of style.

I’m not buying it because the first one was buggy as shit, had a draw distance that’s laughable even for a Unity game, had incredible music that’s it’s barely heard because it cuts off all the time, wall “suggestions”, clipping, other graphical glitches, and has the gall to advertise “Hit F8 to report bugs” every moment it’s showcasing its own bugs.

And don’t get me started on the design flaws. The Insulting unrealistic O2 meter. There’s not enough keyslots. Torpedos are useless. The Cyclops is useless, and yet, you have to spend all of these resources just to get some material for the final rocket. It dies to leeches in very short order, and moves around like a space cow.

Also, the whole game taunts a story and then delivers a milquetoast ending.
