Japanese public maps are not fixed orientation which is absolutey loving infuriating to use

I want all game devs to join hands, and finally decide, is the confirm button on the right or on the bottom...


I also want all game devs to join hands, and finally decide, do the subtitles options belong in “display”, “sound”, or (recent addition) “accessibility”...

Minimaps in souls is a terrible idea. First off the areas are all tiny. Second you need to pay attention to the screen. Thirdly minimaps suck poo poo. Fourthly half the story is the environments

I went into a pin-buying frenzy a few weeks ago and today I have reaped the benefits as two of the stores I ordered from seem to have accidentally included extra pins in their shipment. I hit the pin jackpot, baby!!

I really dunno if I can finish up Dead Space 1, here. I'm at chapter 8, and the basic gameplay loop has started to wear awfully thin. I guess it's not unusual for a game to have a sagging middle like this, but the plotline boiling down to "please fix the science gizmo in the next area" and the genuine lack of enemy variety is making the game drag like an anchor.

I like the moon phases one.

Are those chain together stingrays?

Also, are the designs in the 2nd column just hands?

e: how do you display your pins? I've been thinking about getting a banner to hang mine on so they can actually be displayed and not hidden in a box.

Yeah they're chained together, I wanted something to wear on the collar of a shirt. I think the chain is detachable too so I could wear them separately as well. The other ones are indeed hands, kinda vampire-y witchy hands. I dunno about those, they're a bit creepy for me.

I have no idea how to display them, this is the first time I've bought pins! Once upon a time I had a jewellery stand but I got rid of it and now all my jewellery (not that I have much) is just in boxes, so that's probably where the pins will end up too.

but unfortunately I think they've sorta become a design crutch and "how will the player know where to go" is just sorta an afterthought sometimes because hey the minimap is right there

compasses (the horizontal HUD type) can be an okay compromise

i got a cheapo cork board specifically for pins because too many of them were just ending up in a drawer
