Little bit better
A place to list tweaks to things that’d make something a little bit, or even much, better.
This will often be about a video games, a primary topic formed by Hypertexthero’s brain and fingers clacking at keys on the keyboard, but other things can and will appear, from music to visual design. Here we go:
When opening Show Emoji & Symbols in macOS, have the cursor automatically focus on the search bar so you can type to search immediately, without a second click on the search bar.
Allow crafting progress without killing deer in Valheim.
Let me start in my ship by default in Star Citizen, by everything that’s decent in the universe.
GTA-style third person view controls for any game that supports 3rd person views, like Elite and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Have more PvE content, and non-repeating sounds of airplane wheels rolling on the ground in War Thunder.
A redesign of the unsightly cover of Jesse Schell’s excellent book The Art of Game Design: A Deck of Lenses to make it more likely to be displayed prominently.
The same tweak type for two space games, Delta V: Rings of Saturn and No Man’s Sky: Better sounds when firing mass drivers and microwave beams in the former, and the scanner in the latter, with less treble and more bass. A sound heard often needs to be particularly pleasant so we don’t tire of it.
