Both, honestly. It's also because people are realizing that they hate Jira.

Thank you!

As long as I survive, sure. Granted, that requires trusting Rutgers, but hey, maybe I can.
- Comment on Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says English translations inevitably strip away a lot of a game's "flavor" 1 week ago:
At least we're not calling them Dragon Warrior anymore and lumping SaGa and Mana into Final Fantasy.
- Comment on Fascism bad. 1 week ago:
That's actually interesting, and I'd love to see the studies behind that (and then see if I can find out how my own brain is structured).
- Comment on FATALITY 1 week ago:
Mugen devs, get on this.
Also, it'd be cooler as a beat-'em-up than a fighter.

Someone forgot 'stand'.

Yes, they do. You're intentionally sharing food with them. They know you care.

Sometimes we're okay in New Jersey.

No, paint 'em blue, they'll be luckier.
- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 5 weeks ago:
How about a different pattern;
-
Figure out what your breakeven is - in other words, how much money you need to make to recoup salaries, licenses, and generally keep the lights on.
-
Put out a free demo (and I mean free - no DRM either). See how many people download it within a month or so.
-
Project the production budget for the next game.
-
Price based on a 2% retention rate of the demo downloads to accommodate breakeven + next game + 5% profit for op-cap.
Rinse and repeat as necessary.

Mine is more:
$0.00: Is it FOSS, or is it on GOG? Is it DRM-free? Cool. (see: Luanti/MineTest, OpenTTD, Battle for Wesnoth, Beyond All Reason, FreeCiv, FreeOrion, Remnants of the Precursors, Endless Sky, The Ur-Quan Masters, Mindustry, Jill of the Jungle Trilogy, etc)
$0.01+ - $4.99: Is it in eXo? I'll get it that way.
$5+: I can't imagine buying it if there's anything either in the FOSS category or in eXo that does the same thing.
And 99% of the time, if there isn't, straight to torrents.
- Comment on I am looking for a Linux OS 5 weeks ago:
I would say SteamOS if you can run it. Otherwise, CachyOS.

- Comment on What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail? 1 month ago:
Flails are weapons for demonstration, not real fighting. Use a mace or poleaxe instead.
- Comment on Know when to stop 1 month ago:
That one and the Clamavi de Profundis version are both great. I also like To Erebor by Wind Rose.
- Comment on Know when to stop 1 month ago:
Maybe the purpose is the effort of digging, rather than what's underground.
- Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games 1 month ago:
Adventure is a fun game.
XYZZY forever.
- Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games 1 month ago:
Okay, what games do you want to talk about?
- Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games 1 month ago:
Indie nothing, it's first party AAA slop.
- Comment on Finally, the FPS I keep asking for: Deep combat, classic modes, and an honest-to-god server browser 1 month ago:
Sadly I'm in US East, I don't remember the name of our server.

I miss The Specialists.
- Comment on Ligma 1 month ago:
Rorschach was an ass. He was basically a monster. That refusal to remain silent in the face of overwhelming horror makes him a hero.
Ozymandias should have been brought to justice for the murders he committed. He should have been publicly broken, the people he killed or caused to be killed tied to his actions, and his horrible scheme made public to everyone on Earth.
The only hero is Rorschach. He's still a horrible human being.
- Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE raids? If an ICE agent breaks in without a warrant or holds you at gunpoint, what do you do? 2 months ago:
When did I say anything about whether it matters or not? Belief doesn't imply importance. It matters, because the people I care about could be hurt or worse. I just don't have a belief that it's inclined towards one path or another.
- Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE raids? If an ICE agent breaks in without a warrant or holds you at gunpoint, what do you do? 2 months ago:
If not surrendering, you're toast, community or not. They'll kill you for resisting before your community can mobilize. So you end up in a different list in the back of a history textbook.
Of those two, I lean toward classical nihilist; I believe nothing but what I've experienced in my own self. Pessimists believe that everything gets worse; My hope is that it change for the growth of our game.

Surrender and recognize you might get a listing in the back of a history book someday, if they don't win. PS: They will likely win.
- Comment on Can America's patriotism be rebuilt? 2 months ago:
The challenge is that there are "Patriots" out there. There are three Americas, realistically: The South & Midwest, The North & Coasts, and the minority experience. One of those is "patriotic", with the idea that the other two need to be killed.
