[Prey] Immersive reality simulations are all about filesystem path manipulation… in Rust!

The body is just a biological computer, instead of being based on silicon, it's carbon based. Totally closed source, but reverse engineering is possible and encouraged. DNA is our binary, our body is our localhost, or something

And be careful who you connect with, because you might get a virus.

I wonder when they'll patch the eyelidsInEye method of our eyes, it's being called at random and is always a nuisance. The garbage collector does a great job at freeing up memory, but sometimes it's a little too good, I hope the new release fixes that so references aren't deleted just by not being used, sometimes completely random

Tbh, I think these analogies are cheap crap and unnecessary. We are not "just" anything.

We're accumulated and condensed star fart

To be fair, I'd imagine a real immersive reality simulation is gonna a need to scrob some dang filepaths eventually, and they definitely get points for Rust.

This makes me hope we see some Rust in game development, Prey was a lot of fun.

With the wasm stuff Rust is getting into, maybe a Rust game engine for the browser?

Eventually ggez will cross-compile, and in the meantime it's easy to manipulate the canvas from Rust.
It'll happen :)

I didn't quite get it.

I need to learn rust...

Both or just this one?

Both I guess

In Unix based systems process threads can actually be file paths, so not completely illogical.

Dank game.

I never finished Prey because it was kinda difficult for me because I don't know what to skill and I have so little resources and those damn aliens are so extremely stronk and they have about 10 times the hp that I have.
I should get back to that game some time. Hard games are fun.

Excellent game. Me making a trip all the way out to the space ship just to find out that I'm under levelled told me to get more of those valuable neuro mods :)

Both of you make sure you play the mooncrash DLC

FYI Mooncrash is a Prey DLC, not Half-Life.
I like how both Half-Life 2 (esp. Ep2) and Prey are essentially about aliens that can just murder humans in super overpowered ways
