• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Pivot To Indie won’t save us [AURAMBLES blog]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Something important to remember is how many great franchises or games were originally made by a very small (or “indie”) team. Zelda, Tetris, Mario, Minecraft, Sonic, Civ, and others. Each eventually either grew massively or were bought out by a bigger corporation later. Indie games may not be our savior, but so many mainstream games started out small. It seems to me that the smaller the team, the bigger the innovation.

  Somebody is gonna try to fact check me on this, so I’ll just say my point is you can’t have a healthy gaming industry without a healthy indie industry too, IMHO.

  I’m also a stranger without a source, but I recall seeing a YouTube video about it years ago, either a news story or documentary. I don’t know if the exact numbers are right but I remember the other details. I’ll have to see if I can find it.

  Isn’t NMS already a kind of harvesting and crafting Minecraft simulator in space?

  I’m clearly out of touch with the world. Over half of these got an audible groan out of me when I watched the trailers.

  I’m both surprised and not surprised. Considering I’ve purchased the game three times, maybe I shouldn’t be.

  I wonder what the ratio is between men who want to become filmmakers and women who want to become filmmakers, and if it’s actually 50/50.

  Audiences want good movies, and often don’t care who writes or directs them. It’d be a mistake to say the reason for the low percentage “is because sexism” on such a multifaceted situation. A quick web search says only about 15% of all filmmakers are women, so this statistic sounds about right. Either not enough women are interested, or not enough get the opportunity.

  Is it possible that your phone is killing the VPN client to free up memory? Does it reconnect immediately upon reopening OpenVPN?
