There’s dozens of us!

Oh good, I’ll dust mine off.

All of this stupid disagreement is about this:
You either do the right thing and lose a little exposure or you stick with it and accept that you’re a part of Elon Musk’s political machine.
For some people, that’s a choice between scraping by and failing.
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 3 days ago:
You’re saying it’s completely impossible that a game developer remortgaged their home for their project and then failed to meet their required sales by a small amount that could be accounted for by being active on Twitter?
Like, completely impossible for that to happen under absolutely any circumstances?

If you’ve ever made a thing that took so much time that it has to be your job, and earn you money, you’d likely have a different view. If you’re ignoring a percentage of your target market because they’re on a platform you don’t like, then your project might fail, and you don’t get to keep your house.

I’ve had a couple of people ask me to play it with them for the first time in the last couple of months. Sure, it’s anecdotal, but that’s all I’ve got to go on.

This is part of what’s going to make Light No Fire so cool. I’m sure that some of the tech now being added to NMS is being added as a way of testing or proving hypotheses for LNF. I hope we do see more of the LNF mechanics (like multiple biomes on one planet) be backported, like I suspect the improved water, and fishing mechanism may have been.

How is this not “related to games”? It’s a thing that has the sole purpose of enabling people to play games.

Getting rid of Barbie and keeping Black Mirror. The headline seems incredibly weird to me.

There will be even fewer games that require a Pro than there are games that require the PS5 in the first place.
Potentially I’m just aging out of gaming a little bit, but I can’t name 10 exclusives for the PS5, and it’s been around for years.
Spider-Man 2 was fun, but not like $700 of fun.

My wife and I watched this documentary when it first came out and laughed at him the whole way through. It came up when he was on The Graham Norton show.

- Comment on Halloween Botany 2 months ago:
Perceiving it as a color seems more practical though. It’s not like we look at “red” and think “ah yes, a single wavelength of light”
- Comment on Halloween Botany 2 months ago:
Your definition of color is based only on human perception? Is purple a color for a mantis shrimp?
- Comment on the flies 2 months ago:
What if it’s just the white stripes (not the band)? Do white cows have the same number of flies? What if you paint them with black stripes?
Maybe those are answered in the article, but I’ll never read it.

Polaris is 45-67 million years old.
The oldest total-group chondrichthyans, known as acanthodians or “spiny sharks”, appeared during the Early Silurian, around 439 million years ago.
It’s not even close.

Cool, but you’re in a gaming community in a post about the Playstation, so I’m not really sure why you’re talking about operating systems and behaving like this when someone talks about the console the post is about.

Same to your “Linux is easy” comment then.

That’s why the moon can eclipse the sun when we’re also all the same distance apart. Crazy coincidence, but undeniable given this educational material.
