>>1015028 Friday is actually my day off, I was sleeping it off

>>1015043 Good. You are following God's law.

Isn't the Sabbath a day of rest on the seventh day, not Friday?

>>1015058 I saw Jews observe it on Friday and Christians observe it after Friday.

Fight Knight is on sale on Steam this week for their boomer shooter promo. Chuck dev-non a few bucks if you're feeling supportive. https://store.steampowered.com/app/792120/FIGHT_KNIGHT/

>>1015327 >no GoG/DRM-free version I should've asked him about why there isn't any.

>>1015327 I hate how the reddit term "boomer shooter" totally eclipsed retro FPS and became the mainstream term, goddamn it.

>>1015350 Same here. I'm also (usually) an autist about such things and rage against the "Metroidvania" tag quite often. They should be called Metroid-likes! Anyway, I only used Boomer Shooter in this case because that's literally what's written on the promotional page on Steam for this week. I much prefer the term retro FPS though apparently that not includes COD4MW according to my nephew.

>>1015361 >COD4MW is retro now

>>1015361 >>1015709 Doesn't retro refer to the 80s, and retards just started using it to generally refer to "stuff that's older" in the past decade?

>>1015709 I think "classical FPS" might be better? When people say retro FPS they don't literally mean games from 15+ years ago, Escape From Tarkov won't be considered retro FPS in 2040 just because it's old, they specifically mean that time period from Doom to up until around Half-Life. You could easily extend the range a year or two if you wanted. Before that FPS was very primitive and after that we started getting cinematic and online focused games. >>1015713 No? Retro is short for retrograde; moving in reverse, backward.

>>1015714 >Retro is short for retrograde Yeah, the literal meaning of the root word means that, but didn't it start as slang by referring to 80s style and stay that way for a couple decades before it became more general?

>>1015716 No, you fucking retard. IN the 80s they were referring to 1950s diners as "retro".

Retro just refers to old stuff. What "old stuff" is, is relative to the period.

>>1015720 And do people call 80s style diners retro nowadays?

>>1015735 What the hell is an 80s-style diner?

>>1015716 You think the term "retro" didn't exist until long enough after the '80s that it could refer to the '80s? No. It existed long before then. The '80s (and '70s) already had a huge wave of retro nostalgia for the '50s and '60s. Boomers loved that shit. American Graffiti, Happy Days, Grease, Back to the Future, etc. >>1015739 Weren't 80's style diners already just retro '50s style diners?

>>1015749 >>1015720 I am clearly uneducated.

>>1015720 >50's retro Segregation should be also a retro aesthetic.

Does anybody have clearer art of Fight Knight's armors? It's difficult to make out what he's wearing on the encounter screen when he's bobbing up and down so much.

>>1015327 Oh snap I'm definitely gonna pick it up for that price. I feel a bit bad because it's such a steep discount but I'm also jobless and cheap

>>1016479 If you feel bad about it just making it up to dev-anon by leaving a proper review, they help immensely with Steam's algorithm.

Game's really fun but holy shit I hate these magic midgets, thank God you can parry their orbs.

>>1016418 Some guy extracted most of the game's sprites on a steam thread, if you want the rest look it up there.

>>1016483 drop in a bucket, it has 1163 reviews

>>1016543 That's not really a lot. Plus Steam shows both all-time reviews and recent reviews.

>>1016552 >That's not really a lot It's not bad actually for a game that's never been bundled, is only on steam , has a fairly high bae price and has no publisher, average is more like 300-600 reviews

>>1016543 With how much I hear developers harp on about getting good steam reviews I'd imagine the benefit they provide to a games algorithmic exposure is pretty significant.

>>1016543 From dev friends I know reviews really do count for a lot, the fabled "algorithm" could push the game to more people if it detects positive activity. That many reviews for this game seems super low, too, I thought this game had way more excitement but now I honestly believe journos shafted this after the psychic rape accusation

>>1016702 Valve has repeatedly said this is not true, they've made videos explaining how the algorithm works. Reviews and review score does not affect a game at all unless it's 39% or lower, where it will be de-prioritized. Gamedevs believe in a lot of superstitions and myths about Steam, don't believe everything they say. "Creatives" in general are really superstitious, go listen to some of the stuff YouTubers believe about the YT algorithm, some actually believe the video file's raw filename somehow factors into things so they'll tag stuff it. There is no evidence for this whatsoever and I have no idea how it started.

>>1016861 There can never be evidence for how Youtube's algorithm works because it's a complete blackbox that they actively work to make sure you can never understand. So obviously people are going to speculate about it. Steam has little incentive to be as secretive about their recommendation algorithm because you can't game it nearly as much. Link the videos you're referencing.

>>1016901 The Steamworks channel. https://youtube.com/channel/UCStZs-X5W6V3TFJLnwkzN5w Probably the most relevant video you're asking about. https://youtube.com/watch?v=qkmAqBvUBOw

>>1016901 Youtube's algorithm is based off of which glowie branch is spooning them money for xxx.

>>1016927 Oh and bots I guess since viewercount probably still contributes.

So, is fight knight fun?

>>1017042 Fun is a buzzword
