  They make good points until this bullshit:

  But if video games are ever going to be taken seriously as an artistic medium, they have to grow up, and that means learning how to love authentically.

  No. That take is horseshit. They don’t have to do anything to be taken seriously as art. They already are. If you can’t see it because it doesn’t tick some of your boxes that’s a you issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fighting games have a product design problem⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really play fighting games anymore but previous titles like SF Ex+Alpha had a killer training mode which scratched my completionist itch. There were scores and gates and orogressions, though I can’t recall if you got anything like XP (in truth that bares no relevance to a fighting game anyway).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They become cheap if you’re patient enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you fell out of love with.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That reminds me I need to login and transfer some funds to my fleet carrier, if it hasn’t already defaulted. Love the game but shallow depth for sure :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A succulent meal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My kind of vegetable-less meal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like there’s been a dip. Historical photos show people looking old as fuck but really they’re young. Millenials sort of changed that. Now gen-z is reverting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s at least one in every office.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Struggle 😔⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  She actually sounds like a treasure. Guide her well, and learn from her what you can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the first was alright, like a small scale Bethesda game with pretty ok gunplay. I got my copy for free (thanks epic) but it still wasn’t enough to interest me to buy the second.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You are allowed flavor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What with the poor cropping epidemic? Seriously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There will be a demand but I wouldn’t bet on that demand being the most popular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t. If you’re serious about weight loss you need to commit long term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is so wrong it hurts. Your body cannot synthesize muscle from fat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants to talk about video games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah to be young and naive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This kid gets it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a hard time making conclusive statements in various subjects precisely because of how many unknowns there are. And the more I learn the larger that discrepancy grows. I am utterly baffled how anyone can be a politician and make these broad general statements as if they’re fact on multiple topics all at once. Then people eat it up and build identities around it. I feel like I’m crazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This kid gets it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my 20+ years in the corporate world now it seems that everything is just a sale. Every transaction (business to business, business to consumer, employee to business, employee to employee) is a sales pitch. The quality of the transaction matters less than the sale itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer fluffy UI over Liquid Glass?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m getting Wallace and Gromit vibes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨obesity even kills stars, but the bigger they are, they shine brighter too⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fake news. We replaced over 99% of the mass of the entire solar system with LEDs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bug ID⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isometric perspective

  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Replaced?! 😂

  Your friend is beyond repair. Cut your losses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A complete tier list for our solar system⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anywhere you could land and walk around should be considered a world.

  That would disqualify the gas giants. I think the criteria needs workshopping…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Needs more games. Next mainline Zelda or Mario and I’m in. Was never a DK fan and Mario kart isn’t enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly curious why you believe otherwise. Termination without cause is absolutely allowed, and again, comes with legal provisions for the employee. In Ontario, Canada, for example, this manifests in severance pay.

  I’m not super well versed in EU practices so perhaps it’s even more strict but fundamentally if a company cannot afford to retain an employee they must have the ability to let them go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t exactly force a company to employ someone. Even in a pro-labor-rights country the employer would be free to terminate. The termination would come with all sorts of employee benefits of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asking the important questions⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ginger the cockatiel might not be recognizable to other birds, but her Cookie song was certainly enjoyed by many.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 2025 Steam Awards Winners⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You lost me at crafter. Zero interest in that kind of gameplay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 2025 Steam Awards Winners⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  RV There Yet isn’t really that chill. It’s also highly frustrating at times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It is exactly replacing work. Your argument is easy to extend to teams of one solo developer who has finite time and money and it’s easy to see the appeal of AI in general.

  I’m also in the AI isn’t that bad camp but it’s pretty clear here they used AI, and rightfully disqualified.

  Don’t you dare put onions in my eggs; I’ll cut you.
