I really enjoyed that game, back when it came out. Slightly regret trading away my copy, it’s got replay value.

A steady hand on the tiller of society? In this economy?

Maybe just ignore posts you don’t like? This isn’t a big platform yet, people who actually post shouldn’t be discouraged.

I love the aesthetic, having had just such a car in just such a place when I was younger. Watching Pacific Drive makes me so nostalgic.

Did not know you could throw rats in this game. That’s gonna be the new “shimmying between two walls” of AAA games.

Fuck yes, perfect

This is the kind of dude I’d invite to a threesome.

Repetitive character dialogue.

It’s less of an issue these days, but still incredibly grating when I see it.

Such clean lines and effective shading. I’m in grey scale mode on my phone so at first I thought this was a photo of a metallic miniature. Really impressive work.

Dope as fuuuuuuuuck

People are emulating PS4 now? Crikey

Old? I got Silksong from them on release day.

Private equity buyout would be the same problem but even faster.

This looks interesting, thanks for the write-up!

There does have to be a formal process to make sure the voters are being asked a question that is sane to begin with, and not merely being offered the chance to wreck their economy on behalf of moneyed interests. It’s a truism that when the questions are insane, the answers don’t matter. Whether it’s Brexit or smoking babies, there’s always an issue with vested interests having their own say on the matter.

That’s what representatives are for, they hear the public and form a committee of experts, who then say no that’s insane, then we either go fuck ourselves or we riot. At some point down the line absolutely nobody’s happy, and that’s how you know you’re in a healthy democracy.

Honestly (their) opinion needs to die. Any time people mobilise in big numbers to participate in democracy is a good thing on general principles, and unless people are signing a petition by the millions to like, make babies try cigarettes, it’s almost always going to be a good thing. It’s nirvana fallacy from top to bottom.

It’s not necessarily a marketing problem because it’s not necessarily an economic question. Steam and a few small other platforms like it are the reigning paradigm for indie game distribution, but games aren’t necessarily an economic endeavour. Ars gratia artis is still a thing for a non-zero contingency of creatives.

I tried really hard to like Fall Guy for the sake of one friend a few years ago, but it’s just so bad and monetised.

“It’s just pattern recognition!” Bestie, you just described the only thing the neocortex does.

…I’m being real sarcastic for a guy who couldn’t beat DS1 without playing a sorcerer.

I was randomly up at 4, shouldn’t have been on my phone at all. Word salad.

Oh shit. Free demo too. I’ll see if it has the same magic for my kid that it did for me

I thought I might be playing it loose applying it to the case of private equity in the creative arts, but it feels right

Bad money chases out good, they say.
