Uh… didn’t this happen like 7 years ago when they stopped using intel chips? Also why not just buy a pc to do this diy-adjacent bullshit? Not like you can’t get Mac equivalent (or better) hardware for literally the same price these days. It’s not 2004.

I spent more time fucking with that thing’s settings than actually playing games. Give me a normal controller every day of the week. Just cause it was niche doesn’t meant it was good.

I could see this very quickly being shifted to a norm of “we have provided you with an attorney, you do not need to seek additional council, and since there is no need we will not allow it.”

laws are only as good as the rich allow and the most put upon fight against.

yall seriously need some media literacy classes. or basic reading comprehension classes.

NYT paraphrased some industry people who posited that Chinese manufacturing benefits from small lady hands. that’s literally just covering a story. they didn’t say “us can’t make stuff because we don’t have little china-fingers and only tiny-china-fingers can make the pocket computers.” they just reported that some unnamed assholes said that.

But like, the commercial said that making games is just sitting on a couch and pressing a sound board to add that one sound effect in level 3, so like I don’t know why they want money for it.

Almost as if the 50’s were being plagued by the same dumb rich out of touch assholes from the 1920s and it caused some ~trickle down~ issues for society down the line in the 90s. Turns out 35 years ain’t that long of a time in the grand scheme of things.

Conversely, I have never worked anywhere that paid bimonthly and only ever at places that paid biweekly, although a friend of mine did some years ago so… looks like there’s different payment schedules in different places—astounding.

I will say every single place i’ve worked has not paid enough to live in the modern era so at least that seems to be a consistent through-line.

The progenitor of what became all that’s wrong in the world.

You blew it

Okay. Company will cancel.

Never have I ever met a family with a shared name.

Praise be the Time Cone, for at the bottom you run out of time. Glory to Mankind.

Currently it’s Bellwright, among many other titles. what particularly tickles me about it is the shitty ai voices they used for the npcs. I am not pro ai by any means, but nothing makes me happier than hearing “all in a good days of work.” delivered constantly, in the most off-kilter reading imaginable.

probably a lifetime of trouble shooting and asking the internet if there’s a linux equivalent of insert name software available.

I would suggest searching Steam for games.

I don’t be leave this is a pension but rather a bot collecting date.

For on the Girly Games that are Pink

And on the Mind Craft and Animalsers Cross.

No combat necessary.

Play some games and figure out how to make compelling content. Don’t crowdsource key gameplay mechanics for free.

One of Bethesda’s greatest loading screen simulators of all time, maybe even better than Starfield.

the internet would fall silent.

Just musing on the fact that Bethesda doesn’t care about making games and instead just cashes in on nostalgia. I also think their finance bros realized their upcoming big IP drop is going to be an objective POS and wanted to prime people’s expectations by re-releasing a 20 year old game with some lipstick on it.

It would be neat if they hired some people who actually had innovative ideas about gameplay, visuals and stories to maybe make a neat new game within an existing or new IP, but they haven’t done that in literal decades so I think its pretty reasonable to not be incredibly excited about anything they are putting out or planning to put out in the future.

Just disconnect it from the wifi network.
