Super exciting Bloodborne Kart dev post today, seeing that I worked on the post battle results screen today, meaning that we now have a first playable for battle mode!

On top of that I also fixed some bugs, like the bug where deaths from rope molotov mines didn’t count towards score, or the order of operations bug which resulted in AI karts not using their power ups in specific instances.

This all leads to a fully functional and competitive game loop in this team-based battle match. Which team do you think will win? Place your bets before watching!

The term predestination paradox is used in the Star Trek franchise to mean “a time loop in which a time traveler who has gone into the past causes an event that ultimately causes the original future version of the person to go back into the past.”[16] This use of the phrase was created for a sequence in a 1996 episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine titled “Trials and Tribble-ations”,[17] although the phrase had been used previously to refer to belief systems such as Calvinism and some forms of Marxism that encourage followers to strive to produce certain outcomes while at the same time teaching that the outcomes are predetermined.[18] Smeenk and Morgenstern use the term “predestination paradox” to refer specifically to situations in which a time traveler goes back in time to try to prevent some event in the past, but ends up helping to cause that same event.[10][19]

voyager is fucking balls to the wall every week. it’s just like. tom drove too fast and turned into a lizard and then turned the captain into one too, and he and the captain had lizard sex which resulted in lizard babies. the next week tuvok mind melded too hard with a serial killer and almost broke his brain but in the end wound up bonded to the killer, who in turn left murder behind to grow flowers in his quarters because the telepathic sex mind meld was that good. and then the NEXT week b’elanna had to save everybody from a fucked up sentient death machine that she programmed when she used to be a terrorist.

next week we will debate the ethics of assisted suicide. this is a very sensitive topic which we have handled by having said debate against a morally bankrupt outer space court jester.
