Considering the amount of people that either voted trump or not voted at all, I’d say that there’s a portion of americans lying.

They what!?

How can they end such a nice initiative? What was the problem with secret santa?

Apparently we’re not oppressing them enough.

Well, you are assuming a lot of things I haven’t said there.

First of all, I said that in the AAA world, original games are rare. They exist, but they are rare. And there’s a reason: an AAA game is made by a company that has a stakeholders board deciding what has to be done and what not (which is the reason why people say BG3 is not an AAA game but an indie). Since those boards want their money and only that, they don’t care about innovation or anything else.

This doesn’t mean that AAA companies don’t make original games, it only means that they rarely experiment and tend to focus on already succesful formulas.

Second, I never said that AAA games are just “big games I don’t like”. As I said, sometimes they do good games. But seriously, how many times have you seen an AAA company take a serious risk in what they do?

Also, I don’t think it’s just the usual three. I think GTA is doing the same. What are they gonna do with 6? Just GTA V but bigger. That’s exactly what I mean when I say that they don’t innovate.

For the record, an AAA game is a game with a big budget from a big studio. I think everyone can agree that an Assassin’s Creed is an AAA game while shovel knight isn’t.

I agree with the sentiment. People think that non 3d graphics should be cheap because they don’t understand the amount of work that can go behind them.

Take chained echoes or sea of stars, two modern pixel jrpgs with “premium” prices. If someone thinks those games shouldn’t cost their full price, they are out of their minds.

Same with shovel knight. I bought the treasure trove and the amount of fun it has give to me puts so many 80€ games to shame.

That’s the problem with many modern AAA games. They lack innovation. Since they only look to maximize profits, they stick to reliable formulas that are known to be profitable.

This is the reason why I only play indies nowadays. How many AAA studios have new ideas? Sure, we see, every now and then, a new game that really feels new, but they are rare. Meanwhile, the indie sphere cooks new things constantly. Sure, not all are pretty or good or polished, but at least they try new things!

Well deserved.

Because I think they shouldn’t call for violence against ketamine karen?

Absolutely not! It’s simply because if you are still on that shithole of a site after all we’ve seen, you got it coming.

They learnt nothing from the twitter renaming, didn’t they?

We’re gonna have so much fun triggering Magastanis by calling it gulf of mexico

Long story short, an italian nationalist through an made up interpretation thought it was used io ancient rome, used it in a film and the fascists in italy liked it so started using it. Then the nazis copied them.

Good riddance! We are finally going to be free from that chinese spyware used to influence people minds and create an addiction stronger than drugs on people of all ages but especially in minors!

Now we can go back to having only american spyware apps doing that.

A year or twenty. Given how long they are taking, I wouldn’t be surprised if the game was never released.

A bit like Japan.

Their technology might be more advanced than ours, but their society is stuck in the middle age.

Nothing, duh! Why do you think nobody has ever tried to reach the center of the earth (as if there was any,the earth is flat!)? They tell you it’s because of the pressure (lies, that is an invented term of the “roundies”), it’s because if someone ever tried, they’d fall into the hell, which is real and is where every other “roundy” goes after they die.

(Just in case: /s)

No, it didn’t. He is a free speech absolutist. For his own speech, not for yours. He bought twitter so he could speak freely.

And the face banquet starts.

And I’m perfectly fine costing them money, I would pay, were they not enshittifying music streaming and paying peanuts to the artists.

Actually, I might try and find a new patch if they block this one to keep costing them money out of spite.

Still working on my end, but don’t know for how long, if they kill it, it might be the time I pass to tidal or say fuck it and just start using again my old mp3 player app

Sure, and then what? Remove their shitty launcher?

Since we’re fantasizing here, why don’t we go big and ask to end the hunger in the world?
