Mummy, there’s a weird person on the internet

I’ve used several distros over the years, and out of all of them, the only distro where I’ve faced zero intractible problems has been CachyOS.

“Everyone else is doing it” is not a good excuse.

Imagine a system that incentivises greed and self-interest, and which runs on competition.

Now run that simulation through your mind a few decades.

If it doesn’t end up with vastly fewer companies competing over vastly larger portions of the market, your simulation wasn’t set up accurately.

Yeah, no shit. But you don’t need to hear the news from a screen when it’s happening to you and those you know.

Seems like it was though. You directly mentioned screens designed to instil fear.

It was a pretty easy implementation, actually. The bullet already checks for collision with the player, so I just get the player’s state, and if it’s phasing, the bullet faces its creator. Its usual “go forward real fast” code takes it the rest of the way.

It’s happening!

(Ignore the slow-mo that totally isn’t to compensate for my lack of fast reflexes!)

I’ll hold you to that haha!

Thanks again :)

That seems to be the major takeaway. And, as I expected, it’s obvious in retrospect haha! I’m considering remaking the levels around actual platforming, with large drops and no easy path.
