Yeah, the industry seems to be changing again. There’s a push towards passion projects and those projects are seeing more success than the big budget games. I think we will either see a new cycle of conglomeration or, hopefully, we will see the executives take a more hands-off approach and let the games make money for them.
Just because you own a sports team doesn’t mean you should be head coach.

You’re not wrong
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 5 days ago:
I mean, kind of, but not really.
It all started with Halo. Back in the late 90s and early 00s the movie industry was the big money maker of entertainment and there was actually a lot of anti-gaming rhetoric in news and politics. The weekend Halo 3 released it was so popular that it disrupted the box office numbers for a couple of movies. The movie executives decided to stop trying to kill the gaming industry and take it over instead.
So I guess you can blame millennials for playing Halo instead of going to the movies that weekend.

Malario sounds like something you would call Wario if you only knew about Waluigi.

My SO hates it when I play dark souls. She says it increases the stress levels in our home.
- Comment on Reliable bank account 5 months ago:
My sister used to do this with Target.
She was always overdrafting her accounts to the point where my dad actually had to go pay Bank of America $200 to close one of them for her, so she decided ‘fuck banks’ and would just spend her entire paycheck at Target. Whenever she needed cash she would head to Target and return some stuff.
- Comment on Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks? 6 months ago:
Yeah, I think the 9-5 mentality comes from a time when men would spend most of the day socializing, drinking, and sexually harassing the secretary. Back then the boys would go to lunch whenever and leave the work to the nerds and the women.

- Comment on Why do we have an internal monologue? 1 year ago:
Hm, interesting.
I can also have images when trying to figure certain things. For example, if I’m moving then I will have images of where to place boxes and furniture in the truck or in the apartment, but these images are typically combined with words like “if I put this here, then…” Or if I’m trying to remember where I put something then it’s memory combined with “after I got home I…”
In fact, the easier a problem is, the fewer words I use. But when something is really stumping me, the words are more prevalent. And angrier. More like “This doesn’t make sense! If the positive and negative are both connected then power should flow through. Maybe this f*cking thing is broken”
- Comment on Why do we have an internal monologue? 1 year ago:
My experience is the same as yours. I have an inner monologue, but it is not constant. My thoughts do not always come in the form of words.
In fact, I would say that wordless thoughts are my default and the IM comes when I am trying to figure something out.

Volvo has really improved their styling in recent years, IMHO. We bought an XC40 last year and so far we love it.

Woah, man it’s cool, I believe you. No need to threaten me with a trip to CVS.

Oxygenation may be a concern, depending on how winded you get. I’m not saying that you’ll pass out or anything so dramatic, but studies have shown that even mild hypoxia can effect our ability to make complex decisions, which may be an issue when biking in traffic.

Yeah, I understand that it was a legitimate issue for some industries, but at the social level people were saying that all of the world’s nuclear weapons would launch simultaneously and we would enter a post-nuclear apocalypse. At some point a legitimate issue was inflated into a doomsday hoax.

I grew up in Florida and anytime there was a hurricane coming people would flock to the stores and buy all the generators and bottled water.
It was kind of like that, but in December.
Most people I knew personally legit just ignored it. It was just another doomsday hoax like the Mayan calender scare of 2012. Everybody was talking about it, but nobody actually thought it would be an issue.
