You get knocked upward, as if the ground had been struck with great force, within a certain radius of the impact.
This was taken years back, during a custom map exploration a couple of the lads were doing. If I remember right, the hammer slamming down also knocked people upward anywhere outside, so it disrupted snipers well enough if you could get near the middle.
If you got a minute - does this post embed natively for you? https://lemmy.world/post/3134691
I used catbox.moe for this one instead of imgur.
Yep, chrome.
It's odd, because the last video embedded just fine on my end.
This one does too, so I can just stick with this link format, but still - odd.
This was on one of the custom missions from Digital Directive, that one potato and creators did together a while back. I don't remember which one in particular.
This link embeds just fine for me as-is. Has it been a problem for others? I'll switch over to the other link format if so.
It's time for the second ever weekly discussion topic, everyone! Before we continue, I'd like to thank everyone for all the interesting engagement we got on the last post. I was unsure if anyone would even comment at all, so seeing it be so active was really nice. Anyway, let's get to it; this week's discussion topic is Game UIs.
A UI (User Interface) is something that everyone should be familiar with nowadays; It is the visual and tangible way that we interact with computers, whether that be games or other programs. Specifically in relation to gaming, the UI represents the HUD (Heads-Up Display), the menus, and other things like status bars and dialogue boxes which all fall under the general term "UI". (This discussion was actually originally just going to be about HUDs, as it is the UI element you will be seeing the most in a lot of cases, but I thought to expand it to encompass all elements as they often go hand in hand.) UIs can range from minimalistic to works of art in their own right, depending on the type of game and the design philosophies of the UI developers. A good UI should be easily navigable for the player; ease of selecting different options, clear display of critical information, and minimal confusion as to what any given button or toggle will do. The amount of information that must be displayed by the UI can range from minimal in a puzzle or traditional FPS game to massive in a simulation or a strategy game. It is an aspect of games we play that many don't give a second thought to, but is very important for both accessibility and style.
Here are some questions and subtopics that I encourage people to discuss:
Also feel free to bring up anything you like related to the topic! If you have suggestions for future discussion topics, leave them in the suggestion thread.
