- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 3 weeks ago:
Ill preface by saying I didnt read the article. But I also think that the state of gaming today is much worse than it was in the early 2000s for millennials.
When I was growing up, games had to come out complete so they were generally much more polished. However, when the Xbox360 came out, console makers gave the ability to devs to release patched versions via updates. Initially it was a great idea - devs could fix bugs they might have missed while testing. But then this quickly spiralled into studios forcing devs to release 1/2 baked games in a horribly broken state.
I also think how much you generally have to pay for games has gone way up with respect to the cost of living. Video gaming is much more of a luxury now, than a simple past time. Plus there are so many F2P mobile games out there, that there is even less of an incentive to get into a console / PC gaming.
- Diablo Immortal? F2P (i know theres probably micro transactions and bullshit)
- Diablo 4? PS5 ($500 - assuming you dont have the console already) + Diablo 4 ($67) + PS Plus ($14/month) = $581 + tax

- Comment on DLC is sometimes Downright Ludicrous Commercialism 1 month ago:
I think we need a term to differentiate between DLCs that are proper Expansion Packs (EPs) of the game, from DLCs that are paywalling parts of clearly the rest of the original game. I’m not OK with companies chopping up their game to sell it as DLC, but I’m perfectly OK with EPs
- Comment on Why do cops and soldiers get more media attention than the average citizen? 2 months ago:
I think it’s the context. IIRC, they were at/near the White House hinting that it was a political attack. And right now, due to the US politics, everyone’s fantasizing about a civil war; so anything that hints at it will get clicks. Clicks = more traffic to their websites = more ad revenue

I don’t think this is homebrews fault? It looks like apps need to be signed to run on apple silicone.

- Start business. Business very small, want business big. Big business happier than small business.
- Need money to big business, small business not enough money.
- Ask another big business for help small business
- Big business tells small business: We give you money, you get big, you owe us money back.

I will put money down that it will not. A game that’s in development for this long will not live up to any level of expectations
- Comment on what boss in any video game has an insanely cool intro to them before fighting? 5 months ago:
Final boss of Dark Souls
Tap for spoiler
I’d argue the entire game is the boss intro. And IIRC, the lore behind Gwyn is pretty deep too. You fight all these big baddies, and when you get to Gwyn, he’s relatively pretty weak. I remember being very fascinated by all the dark souls lore and his was particularly interesting. I vaguely remember that after killing him, you have the choice of keeping the flame alive or leaving and breaking the cycle?

- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 7 months ago:
Probably image. They don’t want to be associated with something they think the public will perceive as negative. Bitcoin was vilified initially because “criminals were using it” (but let’s forget about the part where cash is also untraceable). So they prob don’t want to be the “credit card company that supports pedophiles and rapists”
