Konami’s pachinko(Japanese slot machines) and casino business used to be bigger than thier video games business, but thier Digital Entertainment (home videogames) division has been turned into more casino type things, completed around when Hideo left:

- Comment on What do you think of this video from HealthyGamerGG? 2 weeks ago:
The issue with self help content in general in that it can distract you from doing the actual work to achieve your goals while making you feel like you’re making progress.
Its probably better to investigate scientifically proven methods of achieving your specific goals rather than trying to use self help content.
- Comment on What do you think of this video from HealthyGamerGG? 2 weeks ago:
Other forms of self help content can have similar issues as self help content on YouTube. It depends on what the motivation is for creating the content in the first place.
For any self help content to be financially successful it needs to be more entertaining than helpful, regardless of the platform it’s on.
That said I imagine it’s probably a bit worse on YouTube because of the algorithm…

- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 2 weeks ago:
There’s been a lot of good games for free on epic, and epic still pays the dev/publisher for it, so it’s worth clicking the button even if you don’t download it and play it from thier client.

- Comment on pro choice 1 month ago:
You can force a win in a specific 2 player game of non-infinite moves(if it has no draw condition). But yeah , it doesn’t apply generally to any 2 player game of non-infinite moves.
- Comment on pro choice 1 month ago:
It’s been a while since I’ve done products of sets, but what if one of the sets in the product is a set of empty sets?
- Comment on pro choice 1 month ago:
You could design a different game that does though. E.g. A Tic-tac-toe variant but the player who starts looses if it’s a draw.

- Comment on What accent does this sound like? 1 month ago:
Could be: seems to wander between pronunciations from different accents, initially sounds American when he says “Wait”, then sounds sortof sounds Indian for a but after that before settling into a polish accent 😅
But I guess it might not be fake as I can imagine someone might pronounce some words differently if English is not thier first language and they learned some words from people with different accents…
- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 1 month ago:
Oh and another option could be to try to find emulators that run on mac, and maybe play some older games exclusive to a platform you didn’t previously own, or that you missed playing at thier time of release. Or buy an older second hand console that has games you haven’t played before…

- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 1 month ago:
Maybe try find some games that work on the mac?
There’s also this project trying to get linux in a vm to run games on a mac(and also trying to install Linux on a mac, but I assume it might break macOS since bootcamp isn’t a thing anymore):

(I haven’t tried it since I don’t own a mac, just happened to find it when another friend who does have a mac was asking for similar advice to you previously, but he didn’t end up trying it either)
