Still miles better than the state controlled propaganda outlets of these countries.

He’s already referenced in Dead Cells. There is a “shovel” weapon and a few other easter eggs concerning Shovel Knight.

Also know as Poe’s law.

Should have been named:

Grand Theft Auto: Reforged

As I understand it, it’s a financial model to hire young employees at a low wage as much as possible, because it keeps the costs low.

Hence why I said “fictional item”.

Apparently, this is usefull if you don’t trust the people who organized the creation, distribution, art, and design for actually keeping track of that fictional item.

So basically that means we wont have NFT in games unless we somehow make all big games distributors change their way simulteanously?

Even with a predisposition, if no harm is done (and no intention to; failing to harm while attempting it is different), no act of penance should be required.

It was so unique that there are so many different interpretation to it (and almost all of them equally valid) that it will be talked about for a looooong time to come.

Well, even if the author is on board with real-life impersonation of his characters (who are walking stereotypes and slapstick caricatures of sooooooo many different tropes anyway), there is unavoidable backlash to be had with the fans anyway.

Is it just me, but if I was staged in a situation (on public media no less) where my other half deliberately tried to trigger jealousy, I’d seriously reconsider my relationship with them.....

Leaving aside the potential problems of harassment in other studios (which may be even more mishandled than main studios), one of those problems is utter lack of communication and standards between those teams.

The main counter-argument there is that there is NOT ENOUGH “free market” opportunities to eschew unions and the need for change across an entire industry.

The use of “satellite” studios are also a source of problems, albeit a different one than just workplace harassment and toxicity (but even then, there is that too elsewehere).

I think most “young” (I’m young at fourty+, natch!) people who played video games from an early age have trouble understanding that video games are a special kind of skillset, namely “hand to eye” coordination, require years to develop for the required minimum of some games to be enjoyed, and that many gameplay…

That sounds like the last story arc, dubbed “Katastrophe”. It begins somewhere at volume 27 (until the end, at volume 37).

Well then, having read the series from start to finish, I’m happy to report that you have been mislead on half your points (the nationalism part).

Litteral example of hyperinflation (useless money). Good to show the precise opposite :-)

I find it deliciously ironic that someone would complain that not using coin instead of bartering is “inconvenient” in a game that litterally tries to recreate a society from the hunter-gathering base to a slightly frontier-level industrial economy, at best.
