I mean this is really fun. It is far from being a full finished game, the story is whacko, but the puzzles be plenty.

Last post by Legend - Jun 19, 2026, 03:00 PMA sandbox for a language not designed for human minds.
Suspended on an isolated platform in the depths of space, you are left alone with a non-human interface. There are no tutorials, no translations, and no clear objectives. There is only you and a functional alien typewriter waiting to be manipulated.
Features
- Radical Non-Human Interface: Experience Hapax Script, a writing system unlike any born on Earth.
- Pure Sandbox Freedom: Draw, compose, and experiment with this alien glyphology without constraints or structural guardrails.
- A Taste of the Future: Hapax Script will return as a core mechanic in Hapax, a massive first person puzzle adventure game currently under development.

Last post by kitler53 - Jun 19, 2026, 05:19 AMjust at Akihabara was about 5x5 blocks by 8 floors of nothing but anime statues, posters, pins, ect. it was Soo full of people it was hard to even walk
and that was just 1 tiny corner of Tokyo. it was really no different in Kyoto and osaka. I must have seen 100,000 gotcha machines and they were always being swarmed with paying customers.
oh, and maid bars is a thing..
but amiibo feel really expensive in America. i know the dollar is strong right now but they felt cheaper. ~1,500 yen which is about $9.
most gotcha machine are 500 yen and the figure is less than half as big.

Gaming Community / having been to Japan I finally...
Last post by kitler53 - Jun 19, 2026, 04:47 AMI always thought of them as dumb overpriced pieces of plastic Nintendo was using to lock away in game dlc.
but in Japan there are literally 10s of thousands and pieces of plastic on almost every street corner (gatcha machines) and shops specializing in larger ones. amongst then I ran into amiibo at here there are just appropriately priced pieces of plastic for there size that also come with game pearks.
my god do the Japanese love their plastic figures.. it's overwhelming.

Last post by kitler53 - Jun 19, 2026, 12:34 AMQuote from: nnodley on Jun 18, 2026, 02:52 PMlooks like layoffs may be underway at zenimax for anyone not making Fallout or Elder Scrolls. MS iced BETHESDA OVER BADLYI have heard rumors but nothing official so far.
So far the rumors have been soo awful that anything less than closing 100% of their studios is going to feel like a breath of relief.. not sure what to believe. I thing DF and compulsion and NT make "sense". Those studios have to be losing money with the terrible sales of their games.

Last post by the-pi-guy - Jun 18, 2026, 08:23 PMQuote from: Legend on Jun 17, 2026, 05:53 PMIs there a test you could set up to make sure nothing is changing? IDK have a convo with a set seed and see if it always produces the exact same response?
I'm sure there's a way.
But I'm not too worried about it.
Also have to figure out why LM Studio is suddenly being very pushy about the context limits. It's supposed to truncate, instead of stopping...
