Okay so this game Rebel Space Outlaw has an opening animation sequence that’s almost a shot-for-shot adaptation of a speculative fiction piece I wrote about 15 years ago, down to the exact fucking costumes and colors
There’s too much to be a coincidence, I’m almost sure someone has stolen this from me
Should I be upset or flattered? I’m mostly just shook right now.
Oh also all the space stations are named after small towns in Texas 😳

When Avatar came out, after I had spent many, many hours trying to figure out how to introduce a larger audience to the wonder that is elementalist magic systems, I was greatly relieved, because now I could go do something else.

I on this very forum described a type of jet bike I'd love to have in a game and then years later Destiny came out and hey that's my idea! There's billions of people all consuming the same creative sources it happens.

Oh yeah there was a period where I talked about it a lot back before I joined here, on Kevin Smith’s old forums. I never planned on it becoming anything so I had no qualms in telling and showing people. It was spun out of Star Wars fanfic.
chat I posted about all the work I'd been doing in the bathroom and how I was finally feeling pretty satisfied with stuff and then immediately after making that post I went to go take a nice relaxing hot bath and then I flipped the drain on the bath and none of the water drained ;_;
Literally the ONLY thing in the bathroom that I haven't done work in over the last month or so aand it spontaneously breaks on me in my moment of victory.
(also it's an older bathtub so the drain size is smaller than modern tubs so I had to custom order a part. I did at least manage to pull the plunger out so that we can take showers tho)
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

It's definitely possible someone could have read it and it could have stuck in someone's mind for a long time, maybe subconsciously. If it's based on Star Wars, it's also possible another person could have independently reached the same conclusion, and your mind's pattern recognition is pinging too hard on it. I think it's unlikely someone is referring to the old posts on purpose--that would be very odd. Not impossible, but odd.

Assuming emnemnemmenme has the right of it and we're all talking about Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, that's like the most generic Star Wars inspired intro possible.
But also Rebel Galaxy was fun and I should really play Outlaw sometime.

I would agree, but the opening is like my storyboards almost exactly. And the costumes, down to the padding design and color combinations and goggles.

It seems like PAX starts tomorrow at 10:30am Central. I guess the schedule is in Central time.
Here is the keynote:
Fri, Sep 3, 2021
10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Main Theatre (Paramount Theatre)
The return of PAX West means the return of our traditional opening ceremony: story time from an industry luminary. This year, famed filmmakers and cyber-influencers Rocco Botte and Derrick Acosta will take you on a magical journey through their years in the video game industry as a members of the prolific sketch comedy troupe Mega64.
Started playing A Link to the Past, so far it’s like a multi-generational leap over NES Zelda, I can actually play this one.
I say this all the time! A Link to the Past is definitely a game that's sufficiently modern that you don't feel like you're eating your vegetables to play it. It coulda come out this year. I mean it would be doing a retro thing if it did but it wouldn't particularly seem out of place in terms of controls, combat, or scenario design.
It's one of the earlier games to shed that old fashioned opaque design where reading the manual is integral to the experience. It's self contained, self-teaching, and really nicely polished.
It adopts player friendly stuff like using angled walls in its collision system that funnel you into doorways and caves. You don't get stuck on the geometry. The game play is just crisp.
It doesn't overreach technically, and everything it tries to do is well within the capabilities of the SNES so you don't get with with slowdown or sprite blink or flickering as palettes change mid scan line or any of the other grimy details that made old games feel just a little bit off.
Overall just a landmark title from when games started to feel like something finely crafted rather than like a computer doing something janky it doesn't seem like it was built to do.
There is a lot going on, and it's very cool. The boomerang tracks back to you not the location where you throw it from, so you start throwing it and repositioning so it could come back and hit an enemy in the back without the game telling you to do this. NPCs giving you hints about stuff that's out in the world. The parallax effects as you pan around the world map. The one dungeon that I did was perfectly sized, and also intuitive to go through; so many doors but never that sense in so many dungeons of "where am I supposed to go and what am I supposed to do?" When you hit breakable walls with your boomerang it makes a different sound than normal walls. And when you get the ability to break them, it highlights how well done so many animations are; you get a nice windup that ends in a screen-shaking bounce-back on collision.

I would be upset, to be honest...

Great minds think alike.
In Boyfriend Dungeon, i was asked what painting i would steal from a museum and my actual choice was in the list of 3 paintings presented.

The main character is Patricia Tannis from Borderlands?
I liked the first one but got bored with it after a few hours. I guess the second one more than just an evolution.
What the-???
That’s MY speculative fiction!!! I wrote it!
I would steal Hitler's paintings so I could shit on them.
...
I would steal Klimt's The Kiss and display it at my place. .__.

Hi5, that's what I would steal if I wasn't going to use it for a latrine.
Edit: Art theft of important works angers me greatly, hence the destructive angle.

Yes. I will be watching safely from Twitch. Hopefully, this goes well.

Good game, will keep playing.
And also now I gotta watch / rewatch more Wong kar Wai movies
I tried, but I'm only human.
Gritty Majoras Mask reboot
I rewatched Infinity War/Endgame once after seeing Spider-Man: Far From Home. This two year break has been great. Shower me with spectacle Marvel.
