347online | YYG somehow manages to prop GM up just well enough that I continue to find it really hard to motivate myself to learn another engine | 03:46:11 |
347online | which is... nice? i guess? but also def extremely frustrating lmfao | 03:46:35 |
347online | I really do not want to try to ship another game with GM though | 03:47:11 |
347online | ideally for whatever my next game is I'd love to roll something custom | 03:47:37 |
347online | but now I'm getting off-topic | 03:47:59 |
monody | That was an interesting read. I appreciate the work that has gone into even just investigating the possibility. | 04:40:55 |
monody | But you know the solution to all that? AM2RR made in Godot. [Disclaimer: This is a joke. I am making it very obvious that this is a joke.] | 04:42:04 |
Chief Idiocy Officer | idk I think I'm gonna need the joke explainer to log on and parse that one out for me | 04:43:35 |
idiot In-training | Hi joke explainer here: The previous attempt at humor was a reference made in Jest to the possibility of using Godot, a relatively popular and open source solution for contemporary game development, especially in the Indie scene. This joke highlights the clear ubsurdity of attempting to take that which already works in the current formula and converting it to a new formula which is entirely unnecessary and foolish an endeavor. AM2RR (Another Metroid 2 Remake, Remake) implies the remaking of Another Metroid 2 Remake, an additional layer of ubsurdity to the prospect of creating such a translation to said popular game engine "Godot". The Trolling Face in shades of an amphibian emote, also known as "frogtroll" or " " is a reference to a popular internet meme used to display a mischievous intent, or a jest that is contradictory to one's true view. A Disclaimer, according to the merriam webster Dictionary: 1: a refusal or disavowal of something that one has a right to claim specifically : a relinquishment or formal refusal to accept an interest or estate 2: a denial of responsibility for a thing or act: as a: a negation or limitation of the rights under a warranty given by a seller to a buyer b: a denial of coverage by an insurance company 3: a writing that embodies a disclaimer
The disclaimer in question is meant to be of the persuasive nature, perhaps to inform you of the idea of the above statements being in jest, or as a jape. Finally, the entire joke is precluded with a question, presumably a set-up to the joke's punchline, asking whether you knew, or did not know, how to solve your problem. That being that porting Another Metroid 2 Remake (not to be confused with Another Metroid 2 Remake, Remake) to GameMaker Studio 2 would be an impossible undertaking. | 05:15:41 |
