- Comment on Why do mobile games suck nowadays? 2 weeks ago:
I’m in the game industry. This is entirely person observation I have not studied this topic so can’t source anything
The people I saw going to early mobile market were a lot of handheld console and flash game devs and companies. They were adapting the closest existing game designs and brought with them a “small game small cost” philosophy. It also wasn’t really known yet how impulsive people are on phones. So it was an unproven market with smaller teams and people making yester era design choices. There also used to be a few bigger games with bigger price tags but people didn’t buy into those because anyone willing to spend that on a game at the time would have had a console or PC and could buy a better experience there for the same price.
The only mobile game experience I have was back in like 2012, smart phones were really taking off, and the market for mobile games was proven. The company I worked for we built a release ready game but it never got released. We couldn’t sell it to investors because the monetization was never aggressive enough for them (the investor money at that point was less about making the game and more to fund marketing and stabilizing the studio as a long term business). I quit when my job stopped being dev work and started being round tables about how to psychologically trick players into paying more. Anyway with so much focus on heavy monetization it stopped being economically worth it for a lot of startups to actually make good games when thinly veiled skinner boxes pleased the investors all the same

I’m trans and have surgery coming up so I’m often trying to research a lot of stuff related to that. Seems half the useful info out there is on Reddit and I have to get around the fucking NSFW wall all the time. I’m so frustrated that so much of that information got tied up there and in discord channels
- Comment on Old advice, but good advice. 3 weeks ago:
We had an apple tree in my backyard as a kid. One of the bored afternoon things we’d do is throw apples of varying levels of decay at each other. Sometimes sticks were involved to try and hit them away, or turn them into mush-splosions if you got a really rotten one thrown at you

- Comment on I bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean? 4 weeks ago:
You don’t even have to leave it on the counter sometimes. I had a steak a bit ago in the freezer, thawed it, smell test, it had gone bad. Best guess is some point in the store or transit it got stored improperly and it was bad before it got to my freezer. Always check even if in the expiration date food poisoning is awful

As someone who knows someone definitely not me with a relevant fetish, can confirm. Sometimes it takes a surprising amount of willpower even after drinking an unhealthy amount of water an hour previous. Or so I’ve heard at any rate…
- Comment on Enshittification Continues: Discord to begin showing advertisements on it's free platform 1 month ago:
I’ve only ever used it in browser to limit what it can see on my machine. I was told by one of my coding professors once that one of the signs of a virus is if it monitors what apps you’re running, I’ve been cautious ever since of anything that does that (obviously it isn’t the only sign and isn’t instant virus bin, like I have an app that monitors GPU usage and throttles apps to keep from cooking my machine)

There were not, no. Although now I have deep regrets about not having party props like hats or party horns
- Comment on Nerding out in group is fun tho 1 month ago:
As a side note it’s incredible how many posts I see you in
Anyway I mostly watch pretty tame stuff I just like seeing people being affectionate with each other. The one I was in included sitting in cakes and eating ass and was decidedly not very tame. Cake has so much butter and oil in it getting all that off the floor after took some work

Lol my b I’ll try and be less gender inclusive next time when talking about someone I know nothing about. Good thing we’ve got you though to help balance out our pronoun count who knows what would happen if that one got out of whack
