The dev totally didn’t say it the right way but he has a point. The fucking whiners about a balance patch in this game are insufferable. Its been out for like two weeks. Its not like they took away some weapon after two years. Of course they are gonna have to fix some shit once the players get their hands on it. 

So, it’s just FMV...?

Honestly, it’s kind of hard to hate someone for doing something objectively cool

honestly this is kinda average stuff for a comedian

Definitely makes sense to end it after 3 seasons. Don't want to risk a Stranger Things scenario where the kids all start growing up too fast to be... well, kids. 

And the community is currently melting down due to the “old meta” getting completely decimated which is pretty funny.

paul didn’t turn his back on her. he took the narrow path and forsaw that chani would come to accept it.
chani is the one who turned her back on paul, which is unfortunate because she didn’t in the book

I just talked to an executive at a very smart tech company that decided not to lay off their entire talent staff during the tech recession, but instead to re-train them to do other critical tasks.  This way, they get people who know the company doing important stuff, and the talent staff will be in place to snatch the…

Of course there’s fucking stock buy backs.

In other, completely unrelated news:

100%. I work for a fortune 500, and it is the same cycle every time. Our economy is dependent on the myth of unlimited growth. When you lay off all of these people, it frees up reporting cash for shareholders to see. Which means when they actually do have growth, they will need to re-hire anyways and have massive…

Over 6000 layoffs in the video game industry, but how many people have been laid off in the Tech Industry altogether from 2023-present? The fact that companies can just throw their workers away while claiming record profits is ugly capitalism at its finest, but the sheer unchecked accountability for companies to…

Totally agree. it’s the same side of those trying to maximize monetization of live service games.
Screw the meta, just play to enjoy the game!

My spawn played this a fair amount this weekend after we picked it up Wednesday or Thursday. He was able to get in to most missions, but would wind up with periods of time where he would get an “unable to access game lobby” (or something to that effect) error message that was a bit frustrating.

yeah, turns out live service isn’t the problem, it’s game quality that matters

YES YES YES! God I am soooo ready to return to Elden Ring.

I still remember Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin’? fondly.

I started the series with 2 after my cousin relentlessly badgered me into buying it. Gameplay was fun enough. Story was Space Fallout written by a teenage edgelord. Ugh.

Has the stardew valley/animal crossing style game fad died out? Last few 3rd party directs were filled with them.
