As much as I think the guy's a pretentious asshat, I think Jonathan Blow really nailed the issue down:
[QUOTE="Jonathan Blow's Twitter]
Playing Infinite, I realize that Halo-style recharging shields are actually a huge mistake in shooter design. But all shooters use them now.
With shields, you are always doing okay in the medium and long term. They low-pass filter the emotional high of surviving a tight situation. You can have a tight situation on the order of 10 seconds, but not on the order of 5 minutes, which matters more.
The crispness problem is: In order to provide difficulty, designers now have to overwhelm your shields all the time, which means designing situations that are spammy (get hit from all directions so you can't process what is going on).These are confusing and not fun. These feel messy to play but they happen all the time because they have to. Or, like Infinite does, have super attacks that take away all your shields at once *and* 1/3 of your health, which feels steeply unfair.
Also, shields train the player to ignore getting hit most of the time, which becomes grating at the end when guys start hitting hard. (You trained the players for one thing but then gave them another!) I think shooters are much stronger experiences when it matters if you got hit. In shield games you get hit all the time, like flies buzzing.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Salsa;40150235]pfft you only need three algorithms for the last layer anyway[/QUOTE]
Yeah I'm learning all that. It took some time but I found a few comfortable algorithms that suited me.
Shortly after my previous post I decided to solve it again. When I completed the second layer I unintentionally and simultaneously completed the last one thus solving the cube yet again. I don't know how that even works.

lucky scrambles are fun
Phew, I managed to successfully delete the R3 Game Data which is now corrupt. I leave it on overnight and it's done by next morning.
I just remembered I have a bag of Doritos hiding under my bed. My dad likes to buy snacks for him and I because our sister is a shithead who doesn't share food she buys or pays back money that you loan her.
And tomorrow starts my 2 week vacation.
I'm thinking Samurai Jack marathon with Doritos.

You know what? Fuck it. I'm reinventing all my online identities. Well, except on Facepunch, since I'm such a cheapass.
Johny 1337 is dead. So is Certified on everywhere but Facepunch for above and PSN since I can't change my bloody username on there.

Fuck it, I don't even know why I had Johny 1337 as a username anywhere to begin with.

can't really use that with the android youtube app
also google has entirely removed ad blockers from the play store, so now I have to dig around the XDA forums for adaway
Fuck crane flies. They're retarded and scary as fuck.

It tends to make Youtube videos take longer to load than if you just dealt with the ads anyways. Apparently they have it set to try and reload the ad over and over before finally giving up and letting you get to your video.
[QUOTE=certified;40153849]AdBlockPlus.[/QUOTE]
I use that too, but I add exceptions to sites where I hardly notice them, and where I think they need ads to keep the site up.

Why? Raijin is a cool username
I agree, but it's something to do with personal property and self association with it. (if that makes any sense)
I don't care if people still call me Raijin or even my real name, but I'm going to call myself Qaus from now on.
Quas sounds like an awful name, honestly. Stick with Raijin!

wow my thread is almost over rip
I really get disoriented sometimes when a poster changes avatars.
Also watching someone suck at Doom 3 Ressurection of Evil is cringeworthy. He's playing it like Doom II.
