What little we got looks awesome

This game is a weird one for me. It kind of punishes growth or improvement to me, and neither are necessary or forced.

Every time I play it I realize I can just not have any offspring except when needed to keep the population at exactly the same amount.

Then you just don’t build upgraded buildings or anything and everyone lives a happy, safe, and stable existence lol.

I’m not sure what mechanic or combination of mechanics in this game specifically become the burden that makes me not want to expand but something in it makes me just want to start at beginning tech. The word snowball effect of new problems and challenges…

Exactly what I was thinking!

Sad… I’ve replaced so many controllers and eventually just have up on the system… :(

Magnetic attachment seems like a terrible idea… Did they are last use Hall effect joysticks this time?

Why is it unacceptable?

Also plenty of games have taken 10years to make or more. And dev on ES6 wouldn’t have started right as Skyrim was done. At least not on full.

Why does dev time matter anyway?

I dunno what this has to do with anyone I said. It’s also not true?

Like Prey took 11 years. FF15 took 10 years.

Why does it even matter that it’s been 13 years since Skyrim released? They wouldn’t immediately start development on ES6.

Hoy take time i guess…

I’m hopeful. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted to hell cus how dare I enjoy things, but I’ve had fun with all their games. Even starfield. It was a departure and an attempt at something new. I still put in over a hundred hours on it. The ship builder was awesome and the ships themselves were super cool too.

Skyrim is still my 3rd most played game. And I’m pretty sure fallout is up there too.

They don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Mass Effect worked.

Same. Dunno why the downvotes.

Oh good this is here, I don’t have to post it.

Hell yeah! Thank you. I would have but was on spotty mobile

When no actual people are named no one has to take any responsibility.

Just keep saying nebulous ideas like a company be the problem and then everyone walks away.

Start blaming the people involved

Name the CEO. Image too, or wiki link.

Let’s stop letting scummy people hide behind brands and companies.

Astro bot and balatro make sense. I hope balatro wins.

Black myth is Chinese propaganda or psyOp. Has to be. People did not seem to care for this game?

Erd is dlc which is BS. It will probably win cus these games are cult status.

FF7 is weird. 1 part of many in a remake. People seemed pretty mid about it?

Metaphor felt weird in the demo. These also reach cult status. I could see this winning though with the added recency bias.

Make a torrent, best backup.

If it didn’t have an official demo, I “acquired” it before I bought it.

I don’t buy games unless I know it will be something I like.

I’ll bite. I hate billionaires. Let’s check this out.

Things that hurt indie devs in this article:

• Lack of available talent
• Burnout
• Lack of upfront funding (before a game is ever released)
• Generally bad economy post COVID
• Actual predatory exclusive tactics from epic or gamepad
• The nebulous idea that the entire industry and fans need a culture change

Things not cited in this article as a problem:

• Steam in any capacity. Directly or implied

Now find more metal by a band Kentucky

I like Humankind.

I like the civ switch since you can change you priorities each age. Also I like having a leader I actually like with a civ I like.

Let’s me do what I want to do the entire campaign instead of having to be stick with some stuff I don’t like just to play with the things I do like.

I’m terrible at these games so I can’t speak to balance and strategy and stuff. I use lots of auto stuff or relying on suggested choices from advisors lol.

Sounds similar to Humankind. Which is nice cus I like that game.

This is what I kept thinking about the entire time. The amount of other campaigns I played in NWN was bonkers.

In before next week’s article that the Montreal office is permanently closed and all workers let go.

There are still players. Much more rare I’m sure. I played maybe 4 months ago and met a few people.

Gris hooked me much more than Journey.

Gris broke me lol. It was so beautiful, so emotional.

Witcher 3 took me a few attempts before I finally got into it. And those types of games were always my favorite.

I don’t think Witcher 3 stuck until the DLCs. Now I’m sad I’m done with the game…

I’m with you here.

I played it just recently so I didn’t get to play with as many people as I’m sure there were at the start. I did encounter others frequently enough though. Even played with 1 person for a big chunk.

It was fine. It’s pretty and it has soul for sure but it’s not a transcendent experience like so many seem to describe. Maybe I’m broken in my own way, maybe I missed something, maybe I don’t understand art. Who knows.

I had fun though and it was worth the price.

Was that dev me?

When it was first made available to the public I played about an hour or 2 and then stopped so I didn’t spill the game. My one big take away was that I really hated all the companions, especially sheart.

I’m glad how well written they all ended up.

Yayayyayayayyayayayay. I’m excited. The Fable games never felt truly finished and fully fleshed out, but I loved them all and played them so much.

Or Jack Black. I love him, but this dumb Hollywood trend of hiring Jack for anything comical is absurd.

There kinda isn’t really any definitive science that indicates a specific frame rate that the eye can perceive.

There are studies however that show ranges from 30 to 90hz, and studies that show that human perception can detect flicker at up to 500hz even.

The issue is that nothing that happens in the real world is synchronized with what you perceive. So filling in with more Hz means there are more chance for you to actually perceive the thing.

To complicate matters further, our brains do a lot of filling in for us, and our eyes and brains can still perceive things you aren’t consciously perceiving yourself. So again more frames is always nice.

Starting Rogue Trader this week. Having fun with it.

I was booed out of 2 guilds for suggesting the grind is dumb and that real content is better.

Once in WoW years after release when they introduced dailies. Which are a crock.

And once in Conan Exiles where the server owner kept making content, a lot of being amazing, but half of it being pointless getting dailies.

I was kind of shocked at how many people love dailies for some reason. Easy brain shut off tasks I guess?

Been waiting on this game for like 8 quadrillion years.

I have no hope it will ever release. Communication has been horrendous and every few years we get a neat video and nothing else. I backed this like 10 years ago…

Only been playing balatro. Now it’s fully out. Hooray!

A thousand times yes.

I’m so sad they stopped making those. 3 and 4 had SO MUCH character and style!

Surely not, right? RIGHT?!

Easy solution, go 3rd person.

Sheesh. That’s a tough one. My memory is trash from TBIs… Maybe pong, or space invaders? I think it would be something that was in an arcade. Our first console was the NES with SMB, but we definitely played in arcades before that.

Prepare to do lots of crying. I cried a lot with this game. It’s wonderful.
