I didn’t even think about that, yeah a furry wouldn’t complain about being called a cat. That settles it for me i guess :3
Niko has whiskers and cat eyes and cat-like fangs too. Characters even comment on Niko’s resemblance to a cat on multiple separate occasions.
Yeah, for certain the story couldn’t be much like the original, but there’s a lot of really creative ways you could get around the no-player-interaction problem. I can imagine it being set a few years in the future, with Niko back in the virtual world, this time having to deal with not having a guide. And even without player interaction, i think 4th wall breaks would be a powerful tool here; Maybe have Niko monologue to themself as a way to cope with loneliness and later comment on still feeling like some overbearing presence is watching over them. Finally at the end of the story Niko learns about a secondary protocol to keep The World Machine running, that being the movie itself with the only way to send Niko home being to cut the connection and end the movie.
There’s also the puzzle aspect of the game that wouldn’t transfer over into a movie, and i really don’t think you can just remove it, the meta-puzzles are a core part of Oneshot, so a movie would have to replace them with something. I’m not much of a movie person so i don’t know what would work well here. My best guess is some light exploration so that we get to see more of how the virtual world operates.
The movie format is good at some things that video games aren’t. In Oneshot we only ever see interactions involving Niko. A movie would be a great opportunity to show more interesting character dynamics that aren’t really possible in video game format.
Seriously, those sections with the author’s children exlaining the simulation to Niko were what really made OneShot for me. Most devs are afraid of putting a lot of text anywhere but in the right place it can be a wonder for worldbuilding.
Maybe it’s just RegEx. 0 or more "F"s allowed. e.g. CK, FCK, FFCK, …
I don’t really get this question, i make 2 posts / day because that’s how much of my time i’m willing to spend on internet picture sharing.
Thanks for the wishes! This /c/ is far from over :)

Linux@lemmy.ml•Best os choices and use cases for a netbook with 2ram?
3·9 months agoThe specific os doesn’t really matter, just get one that runs a lightweight WM. Whatever you pick, make sure you enable Zswap on it to really squeeze out every bit of performance out of that ram.
I like that wallpaper, do you have a source for it?

91·2 years agoyou are way more right than you think. Now that i think about it i started bookmarking more and more in correlation with the search engine enshittification trend.





Unfortunately not, systemd is tightly integrated into NixOS and an option for alternative backends would have non-insignificant overhead so they aren’t going to introduce it. The next best thing is SixOS
