‘Stop poking me!’

On the other hand, making me a beta tester for games I paid AAA prices for leaves me with a very negative feeling. You only get one chance to make a good first impression.

Getting major Marvin Gaye vibes.

AI isn’t concerned with lowly human notions such as scabbing.

I get how the blockchain works.

I was responding specifically to the end of your comment:

What happens if/when the servers your business is located on are switched off?

I probably should have quoted you.

Molyneux is the Shyamalan of video games. He’s done a couple of brilliant things, some decent stuff, and a lot of batshit crazy cringe-fests.

New titles are like Christmas poppers. You look forward to them because you remember that first time they were fun, but then you crack one and remember they’re mostly a mix of disappointment and the faint waft of gunpowder.

Wow, it’s chilly in this epic shade.

Daily reminder that unregulated capitalism hurts all of us.

In a capitalist oligarchy? There’s really not.

Yes, this, too. :(

Oh, I’ll keep going, for sure! (…with one eye on developments.) But now I also need to prepare contingencies if their licensing goes the way of Avid, Adobe, and most recently Reddit and the bird one.

Something major might have to change and I can’t be blindsided by it, so I have to carve out time to deal with this, anyhow.

Well fuck me, apparently. The Adobe and Sibelius fees already break me, and I’ve invested enough in Unity assets (not to mention the learning curve) to get a game close to preproduction, and this could drive me out.

I’m a tiny Dev just trying to break into VR, console, and mobile by myself, and am dirt poor with no support, just my knowledge and talent. I’m working on three beta projects, but this makes me scared to continue on Unity.

I’m a good designer and developer with industry experience, but my health has forced me into smaller Indy projects. I put all my eggs in Unity’s basket and now it feels like they’re ditching me just at the point I was ready for production.

God dammit. :(

Oh shit, that’s hilarious, too. Someone must have taken it seriously, because the article made my news feed with no mention of it being a meme. He’s such a joke, that’s apparently plausible. I bought it, lol.

e: thanks for the correction!

And bigotry. Don’t forget the bigotry.

I just read an article saying Musk has bought xvideos.com. It didn’t say, but I’m guessing he means to turn it into something like YouTube. If so, that’s hilariously misguided.

The man is a joke. As a designer who has done a fair amount of branding work, this is the dumbest rebranding attempt I’ve ever seen. I’ve dealt with some stubbornly clueless clients who had to be talked out of driving their brand off a cliff, but this is next level.
