  Lol they’ll also say the same in humid environments when there is no water damage, but the humidity has changed the stickers.

  Yeah I don’t know where exactly I was going with that, but you’re right in the sense that for industry itself it’s good because it’s profitable. it makes sense, although there have been issues with large corporations like Microsoft shit canning everyone at the first sign of a new sparkly thing. Game pass can be and is beneficial in a lot of cases, but what it takes to create something like game pass and it be profitable has its downsides for people that work in the industry, studios that have been bought and abandoned, and in turn the consumers.

  Yeah, that wouldve been a great opportunity to get me further interested.

  I have never been in a job where “I don’t know” is an acceptable answer, but I’ve always been in a job where “I don’t know, but I can find out for you” always is.

  I do friend, I ended up looking into a few years later/have other teachers explain it but I never had that spark about it again

  Yeah, turned me off to science at that age too which sucks because I was pretty into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes experience⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I asked my science teacher why and how the periodic table was setup like it was, I got “that’s how it’s setup up”

  But why, there as to be a reason

  That’s just the way they made it

  Yeah because they have to have gone by something what is that something

  That’s just the way they did, stop asking questions (please don’t fucking learn in here)

  Godamn that pissed me off.

  I’m a bit very hammered, let me get back to you here in a little while. Spoiler, I did read some of your first paragraph and I’m pretty sure there’s a middle ground coming up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the exact problem that we’re talking about.

  Being so shortsighted for this quarters numbers, while also not giving a shit about the only thing that actually brings you money.

  The consumer.

  This is failing because business doesn’t take that into account, and down the line it absolutely plays a part. Let’s keep focusing on milking these 4 “AAA” franchises, and also buy up as many independent studios as we can just to shut them down, that surely won’t have an effect on the industry.

  The consumer is the whole godamn point. You don’t get profit without them. They (we) smell this bullshit, and it doesn’t smell good.

  It’s not a long term strategy and it never was supposed to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your opinion is valid, but “AAA” studios have lit themselves on fire, and a shit ton of objectively great games have come out and absolutely dunked on them.

  A great example of this is balatro. It’s none of what you described, it’s nowhere near your typical cash grab AAA and it’s just a good game that did extremely well.

  Another example would be Hades, just a monster of a good game.

  Blasphemous 1 & 2, unknown studio, fucking killed it.

  Also if you prefer not AAA games for story, what actually is a AAA game?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the solution homie, not the problem.

  You don’t have to have an expensive PC, and even if you do, the amount you would save on software would far outweigh that cost in a year or less. And then every year after that, 6 bucks for 3 games dude

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AAA vs AA vs whatever else never had anything to do with business aside from marketing, and marketing doesn’t mean shit for the consumer if the game sucks. Just make a good game.

  Make the game, and the people will come.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You wanna elaborate on that perfect analogy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Spend like 6 bucks on 3 games in the steam most purchased and you’ll be fine for awhile

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AAA and AA haven’t meant shit in this industry for a long long time. It’s not even almost something I look for when looking for something new to play?

  Oh that looks fun, but the budget just isn’t high enough for me, next.

  I like how this prophecy was foretold a clean 1 week after this shit really went downhill. Who could’ve thunk Microsoft would be a shitty money grubbing whore?

  They just amplify what you’re feeling. Not in a good headspace? Stay away. Wanna confront that headspace? Buckle up and GL.

  I reckon this fella has looked into a mirror while tripping.

  This is absolutely right though, surrendering is how you turn a bad trip into at least a learning experience and in turn, a still great trip. So what if a few demons come out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨shrooms⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. Always let your doctor know, medications your are taking could have extreme consequences when mixed with other drugs. They aren’t the police, and they’d be breaking the law themselves to report that shit. Unless it’s for a controlled substance, they have no duty or authorization to report that unless you explicitly give it to them. afaik, grain of salt and all that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨shrooms⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s straight up illegal here in the US too. I don’t think OP was at a doctor lol
