Also, sneak peek for the worlds menu. I'm a big fan of the fact that each world has an image, one of my pet peeves from Minecraft was how you couldn't really tell worlds apart when browsing the menu.

Sneak Peek of the UI (media.piefed.ca)
submitted 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) by popcar2@piefed.ca to c/hytale@piefed.ca

All menus/UI will be reworked post-launch, but this is what it looks like when you first open the game. The background has variants (RNG).

Some context: Hytale is a block sandbox/RPG game that's releasing to early access in January 13. I'm quite excited for it, so I decided to make a community in preperation!

There isn't that much to talk about since... well... it's not out yet, but I will be posting official news and teasers leading up to its launch. Join us if you're interested!

He's always been pretty chill unless someone is trying to merge code he doesn't like into the Linux kernel, then he'd throw 20 back-to-back emails insulting that guy and go back to the Linus we know.

This is the most sane take I've seen. It's honestly weird how ignorant this thread is, regional censorship is not new. Australia has a habit of banning violent games. The Middle East and China have a habit of censoring all sorts of things. Many countries have their own laws of what is and isn't okay and they fluctuate all the time. My friend in Germany couldn't play Wolfenstein because any games with Nazi imagery were illegal until relatively recently.

Literally every company that operates in those countries also censor their stuff. The only reason this article exists is because [thing but Russia] gets more clicks and outrage compared to [thing in fifty other countries]. You're free to hate Steam for it but this isn't weird or exclusive behavior. They're running a business.

Q: Do you want to do a mix of smaller updates like Lifeblood , or are you thinking bigger stuff like Godmaster and Grimm Troupe ? Is there a cadence you have in mind?

Gibson: In simple terms yes, we’d be thinking about different things arriving at different scales. That might mean larger things like Godmaster. Certainly, we’ve noticed that people would like an expansion in that way, being able to enter pantheon spaces and refight bosses. And there is already a huge number of them.

So this basically confirms that they're looking to make a Godmaster update for Silksong which is neat. I wonder if that's what they're working on now or whether it's going to be further down the road.

This stick doesn't look that bad, if it's still working well you can probably scrape that plastic on the side and put a stick cap on top. Otherwise, I'd recommend going for hall-effect sticks if you're looking to replace it. They're higher quality and last longer than normal sticks.

As an aside, your Switch would REALLY benefit from being cleaned with some compressed air, that D-pad looks rough. All that gunk will get stuck at the bottom eventually which would make it feel very sticky. Same for all that dust under your stick.
