- Comment on Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together? 6 days ago:
Hades II just dropped by SGG, which is basically what y’all are calling for. This system is viable once you’ve had your first quasi-successful game. That first game is the problem though - it’s a massive hurdle. So many groups seek bigger companies to support them. After that, your theirs. Especially if you make a hit.
There are also other factors such as running a studio means running a business. If you’re a developer, you might have very little interest in that. So you instead get hired by a company which enables you to get a paycheck as you do the thing you actually enjoy.
Additionally, there is marketing and distribution. Do not underestimate how much connections matter when marketing and distributing your game. And yes, everyone needs to market. They can’t all be Hi-Fi Rush (which yikes they weren’t safe either) shadow dropping. Though they also had a big studio to help them capitalize so lol

How many times do we need to tell you that you can’t lie about your intentions and then expect people to respect your perceived “rights“? This is like anti-maskers who would walk into places with mask mandates intentionally and then takeoff their masks just to make a scene and record it for the Internet. You’re pot stirring.

It’s such a bizarre post.
- Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet 2 weeks ago:
Well, OP side of the story isn’t even that vindicating either. The dude literally admitted in one comment that he all but lied to them about what he was doing, yet he’s mad when they were upset he wasn’t clear with his intentions and started plugging in cat5 without any heads up.

Dude ffs grow up and just ask in the future. This whole post and defensive posture is so childish.

If you don’t trust it to be entirely accurate then it is ridiculous to act like it is “for the sake of discussion.” Healthy skepticism is absolutely warranted

Linux is the result of a massive number of people working at their own paces with no deadlines and no expenses other than time and the computer they already own. Quality, relevant journalism is an entirely different beast that has hard costs associated with it. What you are suggesting would mean that only those who don’t need an income can participate in the endeavor. It just inverts the problem.
- Comment on It’s the End of the Web as We Know It 2 weeks ago:
quality information
The question is how do you expect quality information to be produced if it isn’t paid for? I think it’s terrible we have to think in those terms but as the other person said, that is reality.

They could tactfully include ads, but no one ever tactfully includes ads.
Because they don’t work outside of basically podcasting. And even then many shows stretch “tactfully.”

They also focus on making sure nobody can fucking afford them
- Comment on Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers 4 weeks ago:
Definitely not directed at you. I’m just so tired of people in general excusing Nintendo for ridiculous behavior because of some romantic view they have of the company.

Every FOSS alternative to discord I’ve seen is basically a sea of dead servers

But they’re not a business they just love making games for real gamers!
- Comment on Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers 4 weeks ago:
Every alternative I have tried has a few “big” communities that were active for about four days before completely collapsing on themselves. It’s not that there isn’t a viable alternative, it’s that there is literally no alternative it seems like.

Telling anyone to “just Google it” is proof that you have no interest in a good faith discussion.
How on earth you could read what they wrote and say it’s in bad faith means either A) you don’t know what that term means or B) it’s become so diluted and repeated that it’s lost all meaning. Perhaps both idk.

They really, really need to take the critiques of their procgen to heart. Games are too big now. We don’t need endless planets of nothing. You can create incredible experiences that unfold over dozens of hours - if not hundreds - in a smaller, more curated world.

Big same. Calling someone a pedophile is arguably the the single worst thing you can accuse someone of. I don’t like how normalized that’s become and it happened because of people like him.
Also it was just a wildly disproportionate response to a valid concern. He’s just a child.

What changed was he stopped paying for a quality PR team.

Well, it took 2 months, but at last “why all the downvotes?” / “downvoted for the truth smh” / etc. has reared its head in my feed again. Hooray.
Let’s place bets on the next Reddit line to jump over here and appear in every single thread. “Updoots to the left!” maybe?
Sarcasm aside, it’s magic Internet points. They’re worth less than here than they even were on Reddit.
