Considering you’re already into card games, give Balatro a try. It’s got it’s basis in poker, but puts some extra spice on it that might interest you.

Chants of Sennar is also a strong recommend. It’s a puzzle game based around intuitive language translation, but also has a really strong story that keeps it interesting.

Idk dude, I got a redundancy about a year ago. There are still jobs out there but it feels like it’s dwindling.

Probably the cursed remixes on YouTube, they don’t need to know how much of a banger beatswapped uptown funk is.

I feel the same way. I understand why people do it they do currently, but I would like to at the very least dial it back and see what happens.

Being young and the possibility that comes with it, I suppose. I’m not unhappy or anything, but there are times where I see the rest of my life laid out in front of me, and I’d be stupid to change it. And that’s fine, but I do miss the possibility space that came with not having your shit together.

Ditto for us in Australia

Like obviously we need to make people know things exist, it makes financial and logical sense, etc.

On the other hand, this is bullshit. It’s an ever increasing blight on the senses in both online and offline spaces. It’s at the point where massive companies cannot function without plastering ads over everything. Fuck that. If we can’t function without some garish assault of a cacophony to our psyche every few minutes, maybe we need to rethink what we’re doing with our existence.

I can feel that, some games can really abuse the system. It can be beneficial when we’re talking about large feature sets being released, both for developers as well as people keeping track of what’s currently in the game.

Hades 2 I would argue makes sense as they just added what’s essentially another chapter of the story. Its initial release was also in a really decent state which helps a lot.

Looks like a Russian palace, maybe Tetris?

Australia had a bit of an old fart classification board. It’s gotten a lot better in recent years, especially after the R18 rating was introduced. It was pretty dumb for a while though I agree.

Remake 8 you cowards

Assuming you want an actual answer, supply lines and distribution. We didn’t get the index for ages either until EB Games took on the distribution.

Persona 3 DLC.

Not so much stuck, more the game is just so dry. I like what story is there, and the gameplay is good, but 95% of it is the same dungeon crawling. While I like the dungeon crawling, it really does need the social element persona games usually have to balance it out and provide some downtime.

So I’m guessing sales are bad enough that it’s not worth the denuvo subscription huh

Yeah grey talon is a magic nuker, but you expect bullet damage or something if you’ve not really played much until then. I also fell into that trap.

Paradox is also my jam, good taste

Concrete goals, and reasonable steps to achieve them.

I feel like lately we’ve hit a weird speculative investment period in tech, where we have a bunch of tech that’s created because it can be, but not because it’s needed. Do LLMs, crypto currency, or NFTs have actual uses? Very possibly, but nothing concrete enough to satisfy the bubble that formed from them.

We live in an age of unreality. Give us something achievable and genuine, we get excited. It doesn’t have to be complicated, just real. Hell, I’m excited as fuck over solid sodium batteries, and that’s boring as shit.

I’m not really sure. I wanted to develop games, I left the idea behind because I needed income and at the time it wasn’t really an industry worth pursuing. Now it’s easier than ever to make games, but the market is oversaturated. Also my current industry is dying and I’m just kind of bored? So it’s going alright. Can’t say I regret it, can’t stay I’m happy either.

It has, but it was aiming at the wrong monsters sometimes? Either that or the auto height aim wasn’t kicking in sometimes. Not the worst thing in the world for sure, easily patchable.

I tried it out for a bit. it’s not bad at all, but there’s a bunch of stuff in there that doesn’t gel with me personally. I had to turn the crosshair off because it was too high on the screen, and the autoaim was causing me to miss shots due to height differences. It’s neat enough and I’m sure it’s a great option for consoles, but I’ll stick to gzdoom myself.

Fantastic, I’m sure it was a hell of a slog for them. I’m really looking forward to their next games, their one offs like Bloodborne and Sekiro are my favourites.
