  They don’t care about the cost saves because that money wasn’t going to their pockets anyways.

  This way it does.(via money going to their prison industry friends, who then give them kickbacks.)

  so much content being locked behind certain progress milestones

  Ehh, sort of? The main story is pretty linear but progress is very open ended, which you can say for almost every open world game, even minecraft.

  You have no lasting impact on the game world.

  Events you put into motion literally change geography(IE, killing radahn turns an entire area into a smoking crater.) Individual quest lines have varying levels of effect on the world ranging from affecting enemy spawns to changing the leadership of an entire region.

  but honestly if you entered each area directly from the roundtable hold would the experience have been materially different?

  Yes, because something that happens in elden ring is that you start with the world map being really small, and then you keep uncovering new areas, making the map bigger, but you have no idea until you actually explore and are hit with how expansive an area that’s just hiding behind a bridge is.

  In the DLC that feeling is compounded with the pure verticality of the world, a small non-descript cave that you can easily miss without a guide leads you about a quarter of the DLC areas.

  The exploration, and the feeling when you uncover a new area, wouldn’t exist if you could just warp there from a hub.

  I think elden ring probably couldn’t be told in a smaller scale story.

  You hear about massive spanning battlefields, wars with gods, etc. Could not be correctly portrayed with a more compact level design. And the vistas are gorgeous.

  Open worlds benefit the game when exploration is the point.

  During the pandemic she noticed no one was paying attention to her so she sung imagine and made her ego everyone’s problem.

  I see we learned nothing from the “just learn code” blowback and are trying to make the industry even more barren.

  What’s annoying about religious people discussing atheism is that they invariably assume atheists also have religious thinking. Like I must go to atheist church every Sunday to convince myself there’s no god. It betrays either a lack of empathy or a lack of honesty.

  Nah, I tended my garden, had some coffee, and going to have some tacos later. I only think about religion when it’s brought up, usually when I see a billboard telling me my life is worthless and magic daddy is gonna have me for barbeque after I die.

  Throw a brick out the window and dive after it, never to be seen again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How not to advertise 101!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Best advertisement in the world is having a solution to a problem I’m trying to solve… but being so good at it that I find you and not the other way around.

  Space ship science works differently. You don’t need “power” except for the computers, you just need “thrust” and any fuel you use is likely insufficient for long term travel.

  So we sailing the solar seas bois.(Literally, solar sails) unless warp drives are somehow real.*

  *Am not space boat science man.

  Gonna be honest, people are still on the “pointing out the hypocracy” stage and need to move on to: yes, that’s the point, what are we going to do about it?

  “Oh hur hur this makes no sense” Bezos is ecstatic that you just now realized.

  Honestly we need a way to poison that shit. People are trying to censor the entire internet to make tiktok happy.
