@beardalaxy According to Sakurai in his video, a freeze frame is necessary in shmups because sometimes you die so quickly, you don't even know how you die. So it's best to have a freeze frame to show what hit you.

I could also replace the tile background with a solid color for an added effect.

@caekislove @dave Except Facebook is not part of the private sector. It was created by the government.

I really am enjoying Sakurai's new channel despite the whole freeze frame rant (which really wasn't a big deal btw). Sakurai seems to be one of the most down to earth Japanese game designers out there. I wish more game developers would do this.

Plus, he's actually talking about game design unlike western game design channels like Extra Credits who talk about how online shooters need to stop "glorifying nazis".

@ademan @top It's just ancoms who refuse to admit that you can have money without a state.

Reminder that the whole nitrogen scam is meant to shut down farms and replace them with Big Ag.

School was such a massive waste of time, looking back on it. I'm in my 20's and I still haven't really used anything I "learned" in there. The education system is completely outdated and out of touch with the current world.

I've programmed a freeze frame when you die.

Are you happy now, Sakurai?

@lanodan @hj Same here. They were really popular as toys for whatever reason. I didn't even realize that they were actually used for math.

The best way to describe the current state of the Polcompball Wiki is "Please, end my suffering."

@xianc78 College/University grades are overrated. Experience is lot more useful.

Udemy does a quite good job teaching theory for very low cost.

@waltercool Just get a training certification. There are plenty of them for IT jobs.
