A joke doesn’t have to end with a punchline. Sometimes yes, anding is the best thing to do with a joke rather than just laughing and moving on.

Sorry, clearly you are far more knowledgeable about such things, despite having nothing more than I do to back it up. I apologize for contradicting your opinion on the internet, that was my bad.

Why does it have to be? It’s basically free money for them, whereas they have to make deals and curate their store front a lot more. Games take time and energy (if you don’t just want AI generated slop, at least), so to get that to market takes time. Whereas microtransaction garbage is basically hit it and quit it and generates insane amounts of money.

It has pools in it!
- Comment on Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman looses his YouTube channel after AI error 1 week ago:
Isn’t it saying that Enderman’s channel was linked (involved with, co-run by, some other AI based bullshit, etc) to a channel that had copyright strikes, and that the Japanese channel was the one with copyright strikes?
- Comment on If proton decay isn't true 4 weeks ago:
It was mostly for the joke, as the scientific calculator answer is just the equation written with different notation.
- Comment on Massive Pokemon leak purportedly covers next-gen games, scrapped ideas, and more 4 weeks ago:
Let me guess, they’re introducing base-building and crafting elements that they somehow patented ten years ago.

Is he turning people into pterodactyls? Just because he is, possibly because of his own machinations, doesn’t mean he’s turning others into pterodactyls.
- Comment on Pop-up Amazon TV ads despite charging people monthly fees for their ad-free plan. 5 weeks ago:
You’re trying to excuse apologist language. Telling me to define the world by their terms, not how the world is. If you want to accept that their way is the right way, that’s on you. But when you tell others, that’s just spreading their propaganda.

They may have a specific corpo-speak word for it that they have codified into law with liberal applications of money… but in effect it is still advertising.
Arguing the etymology is like a child abuser arguing the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia. At the end of the day, they’re still a child abuser, no matter how they define it.

Promotions are a form of advertising. Just because they have the excuse that it’s advertising on their own service doesn’t make it not advertising.

- Comment on Travel back to the days of cable TV with Blippo+, a time-hopping FMV game about... I'm not entirely sure, actually 1 month ago:
If it’s anything like the game Immortality, there’s an underlying story you can figure out. The gameplay in Immortality involves clicking elements in the video to link to elements from videos from other times and in-universe media. You can fast-forward and reverse, and there’s a hidden element you can discover.
Lots of nudity and a fair amount of blood, though.

But… a video isnt real life. It’d be more like “I dont need a nature documentary because I have a book on nature”.

Oh, sorry, I’ll leave you to your specious argument.

Is the little descriptive icon there the whole time? Is it there only when you try to use the gesture? It might be malicious if there was no warning at all and it just does it… but to me it seems like they’re just trying to apply intuitive design practices in their mobile site design.
Not everything is an attack, even if one feels attacked.

Some publishers call it a “battle pass” or “seasons” instead.
- Comment on Subscription models like Xbox Game Pass are "not properly valuing" developers, says former Bethesda exec 2 months ago:
At least for video streaming services, they care more about new subscribers than retaining subscribers. That State of Decay may be a retention game, but the indie darling was the first thing they played upon subscribing. That’s likely going to hold more weight.

Yeah, but then they’re so fractured that the right takes back power within a generation.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 2 months ago:
Is this your first time on an internet forum? Or the internet in general? Topics often drift. Just because the post is about something doesn’t mean every single thing in the comments is going to be explicitly about that.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 2 months ago:
I dont understand what you’re trying to argue. The person you responded to made a point about Major studios trying to make a hit… but focusing on business principles over actual game production.
You responded by boiling it down to “Devs should make better games” which wasn’t close to approaching the point they were making.
My point was that devs are not always the ones in control, and trying to simplify a point about business majors running studios into the ground is somehow about the development team being bad is missing the point by a parser.
No one said Team Cherry was a AAA studio. At this point of the comment chain, no one had said anything about them at all until you brought it up. No one is trying to disparage your fanboyism.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 2 months ago:
The difference is that devs arent the ones in control in most AAA studios.

The hype for silken has been going so long that it’s become a meme🤡. Just because it’s not as obvious anymore doesn’t mean it no longer exists.

He’s a symptom more than a cause. This isn’t a recent development, just a recent escalation.
