Why does your game generates an undesired gamestate?
Stop making your players feel like chumps in combat.

Why does your game generates an undesired gamestate?
Funniest move that has ever existed in a fighting game. Polarizing design that instantly warps the gamestate. Creates every single possible aspect of bad game feel for the other player. A sadistic attack that would break most games.
He unironically needs it & it doesn't even make him top 4.

Fear and Hunger, Pathologic 1 and 2 and Dwarf Fortress are excellently designed.
Why?
Because they create the desired gamestate and gamespace.

IT WORKS! We have zork on ATProto now.My bot stores no state on its server - the entire gamestate is serialized into a blob inside each of the bot's replies and stored in the PDS.
Whole thing runs from a laptop, game engine is a pure reduce function. No jetstream, no open ports, reads from appview

hilarious gamestate / xG moment to create and score a 0.99 xG chance in added time down 4-0

My lineup for tomorrow (not necessarily a guess)
Raya
Timber Saliba Gabriel Calafiori
Rice
Odegaard Lewis-Skelly
Saka Havertz Trossard
The bench options will be fantastic for whatever gamestate we could find ourselves in.

Absolutely gutted that Bamford goal was disallowed & not just because of the gamestate & our rapidly disappearing goal difference advantage but also because it was an absolute peach with terrific contributions from all of the subs. #lufc

Look at a great game that has as the declared gamestate "solve a mystery": Gumshoe. Any outcome produces the desired gamestate; you will never fail to gather clues and progress in solving the mystery. So, all around success, this is how you do it. Case solved. But slow down.

if you think about it your gpu is really just computing a fancy hash lookup of a bug gamestate -> rendered output table

I have the flu and am admittedly in a dreadful mood, but playing well when you’re 0-2 down doesn’t mean much. It’s easier.
The gamestate changes, the players have nothing to lose, and all the competitive tension is gone.

New Xrd mod update includes hitstun, blockstun, and hitstop values for each frame! If I find anything else worth including I will try to do that as well. The mod feels almost 100% complete in terms of useful gamestate info

Big thing I'm focusing on right now is trying to make the networking handling a bit more stable. I just implemented a pause to help me desync the gamestate between host/client. This helped me to test if the gamestate syncs properly if I need to force a transition.

Cherki’s ceiling is crazy. So much to his game. You kind of want him on the pitch in any gamestate because he’s got a skillset that’s so valuable to each.

Storing the full gamestate (literally a zmachine RAM blob, which sounds crazy until you realize this thing ran on a Commodore 64), it requires no webhooks, no open ports, no reading from the Bluesky firehose.
Every move is a pure:
newState=reduce(prevState, playerMove)
All stored in atproto

A game like this is why it’s so frustrating that Havertz is hurt. I think Gyokeres is great but this is not the gamestate for him

Like, there's a level editor, mesh exporter, *everything* is scriptable (Including the entire gamestate), and they all package up neatly into pak files. Plus you can stack mods!

Setting aside gamestate, mentality and pressure.
There needs to be a national inquest as to why Saka didn't get on the pitch against Argentina.
A fucking disgrace.
