Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.
This is a beehaw community you’re posting on. We expect you to bee nice here.
- Comment on 60 Percent Of Playtime In 2023 Went To 6-Year-Old Or Older Games, New Data Shows 2 months ago:
Live service games have always kinda rubbed me the wrong way, and that’s past just the obviously predatory stuff. I like to hop around from game to game to game. But the live service games are all like “what about the daily log in bonuses and weekly challenges?” I can ignore that, but it still bothers me how much they try to badger you into being obligated to play. Give me a regular old single player game any day of the week.
That being said, I suspect that as time goes on, AAA single player games are going to be harder and harder to find. Multiplayer is simply where the money is(and where the players are), and in this stupid “perpetual growth no matter what” economy, that’s all the suits will pay money for. Thankfully, we still have indies making great stuff.

- Comment on It’s time for a hard reset on notifications 2 months ago:
If something’s going to try to grab my attention, it had better be worth my while. I block as many notifications as I can, both on my phone and my computer. I also try to avoid using apps for things unless I have to.
- Comment on Fedi Garden to Instance Admins: "Block Threads to Remain Listed" 2 months ago:
As nice a it would be to see people ditch Threads for the Fediverse, I suspect the number of people who will actually do that would be infinitesimally small. The power of inertia is very, very strong.

- Comment on Super Mario Maker 1 is now beaten! 2 months ago:
That’s so cool! The original Super Mario Maker is what made me get a Wii U, and I obsessed over that games for a couple years. I made a few levels that were fairly well regarded, too! Funnily enough, I’ve barely touched the second one.

I really hope it was Billy that caved and not TG. Dude really is awful in quite a few ways.
If anyone wants a ridiculously long deep dive on the Billy Mitchell stuff(and is willing to read instead of watching a video), I recommend checking out this. There’s also on that website a huge deep dive into the story about his alleged “perfect Pacman” run, and his history of gaslighting the classic gaming community into thinking he was the greatest gamer ever.

I couldn’t get past the second area(I think?)of Cuphead, there was a dragon boss that was just a wall for me.
- Comment on Twitch "isn't profitable" admits CEO, in wake of recent layoffs 5 months ago:
This isn’t surprising in the least. They’ve been pushing more and more ads recently; trying to get streamers to run them more often. I hate ads, so I have always opted for a short pre-roll so that when its done, viewers won’t have to worry about ads anymore. But I think Twitch will eventually force streamers to run ads every half hour, no matter how many people they scare off.
