@lemmy.mlThe Black Pool is a game I decided to try recently. It reminds me a lot of Returnal in terms of visuals and gameplay, but I don't expect the story to evolve much beyond the initial "kids lost in the woods trying to get home."
It's a 4-player roguelike where you get to choose random elements to slot into different abilities, namely a Primary, Secondary, and AOE attack as well as a jump, dodge, and once-per-world 'rally' buff. Each element makes the ability act differently, like a light primary is a slow charging piercing laser while wind is a projectile with knockback, and you also get to upgrade your elemental abilities after each stage you clear. I'm only about an hour into it so far, but I definitely think it deserves a little more than the 29 player peak it got right after it launched.
What are you talking about? When did I ever say publishing a paper was easy? You asked for someone to provide updated studies compared to the 20 year old one you linked. It's certainly not perfect, but now you have some more up to date numbers to look at.
I see my mistake now, those are millions of vehicle miles driven. But they're definitely not average miles driven per vehicle like you're assuming.
I took the total urban and rural miles traveled and matched them up to the pedestrian fatalities of the corresponding vehicle types. The vehicle miles traveled data doesn't break the vehicles down into smaller categories like the pedestrian fatality data does.
Vehicle Type | Count | Percent |
---|---|---|
Passenger Cars | 2,591 | 39.66% |
SUVs | 1,912 | 29.27% |
Pickups | 1,188 | 18.18% |
Large Trucks | 469 | 7.18% |
Vans | 288 | 4.41% |
Motorcycles | 42 | 0.64% |
Buses | 42 | 0.64% |
From page 25 of that pdf.
Which, if you then wanted to combine it with vehicle miles traveled from something like this, you'd get:
Vehicle Type | Vehicles distance Traveled (millions of miles) | Pedestrian Fatalities | Fatalities per billion miles driven |
---|---|---|---|
Passenger Cars, SUVs, Pickups, Vans | 2,822,664 | 5,985 | 2.120 |
Buses | 18,490 | 42 | 2.2715 |
Motorcycles | 23,765 | 42 | 1.767 |
If you find a source that breaks down vehicle miles traveled by specific vehicle type let me know, otherwise this is probably the best you're going to get.

Looks like the actual price is $3.79
I think that's what makes it such a good point of comparison though. It's titled differently and we were promised it would be different, but all that really happened was they changed their monetization tactics. And maybe it's just nostalgia, but I remember liking Overwatch when it came out, but now I have almost zero interest in playing Overwatch 2, even though I've gone back to it a few times just to give it a try.
Honestly, paying for a (primarily) multiplayer game isn't a problem for me. I actually might prefer it when you look at Overwatch vs Overwatch 2. But I wasn't about to sign up for a playstation account to play my Steam game.

Another problem might be that animal shapes only has a range of 30 ft
