Just do your best.
Pretty accurate to the story, now that I actually read it.
Haha yeah, I remember we disagreed on something, but now I can’t remember what. Can’t have been too fundamental, anyway – see you around!
That sounds very healthy.
Oh hey sugar_in_your_tea - I’m starting to recognize you from a couple of other comment threads in this community :)
They thought the party was going to last forever, so they ordered a bunch of jumbo pizzas and kegs
I mean it’s more like they paid themselves a bunch of bonuses and hired super duper growth hacking experts or whatever, and now they can’t pay for them, so god forbid they cut from the top
I agree that the game falls apart without challenge, but the challenge will vary by player, especially those of different abilities. So while I wouldn’t use them (until I get older and slower maybe), I support the addition of optional accessibility options in Souls games. They aren’t a fun little experiment anymore - they’re a proven formula, and I believe it can survive tweaking.
I agree with the person you were replying to, and I am glad that the Souls formula isn’t the norm (I’ve played all of them, and haven’t finished a one)…
But the Soulses get a pass from me personally, because their whole thing is about being present in the moment and overcoming what appear to be unbeatable odds. It’s the closest thing in modern gaming that gave me the feeling of being crushed by, and overcoming, the first Airship level in Mario 3.
That said, I’m not against accessibility option in a Souls game, so long as they’re optional.
Nice. Seasonal worker? I dream of taking off a huge chunk of time rather than a few days here and there
I see what you’re saying, and agree with your clarification. Maybe a broad term like red ocean wasn’t the best choice of words.
I was thinking more about how it’s harder for individual (or tiny) contributors to stand out. This is just one metric, but look at steam games tagged as “indie” released over the years. Game developers went from having stand out among dozens of other games, to hundreds.
Like I’m part of a group of solo/tiny game devs outfits, and we’re seeing first-hand how a game is almost dead in the water unless you spend serious time/money on marketing.
E: forgot link
Close. Farming is labour, which is what gives economic value to the free gifts. The capitalists skim excess value from this process in the form of wage theft and other fuckery.
I’m simplifying, but yeah.
A lot of indies, too. And quality isn’t enough to rise above the fray anymore.
I’m not going to say it’s too many, because that’s subjective, but in business terms it’s a “red ocean”
Hell yeah, this is the free gifts of nature in a nutshell.
[…] the “free gift of Nature to capital.” Capitalist exploitation and accumulation, as Marx explains, ultimately depend on capital’s usurping of nature’s gifts for itself, thereby monopolizing the means of production and wealth in its entirety
Probably better sources, but this is the first best one I found.
wtf godless region do you live in?? Never heard of this kind of behaviour.
Damn that’s a ball ache. I didn’t get any savings when I left home, but at least I didn’t expect any. Just imagining the feeling of having that pulled away… ouch.
Did have parents spot my rent a couple of time; don’t make me out to be ungrateful.
truly feels like an alien fantasy world not just medieval fantasy earth.
This is what I love about Morrowind. It really gave me a sense of wonder and strangeness, at a whole new world to explore.
The successors are good games, too, but much more familiar. They fit right in with if you’re used to cliche high fantasy / DnD settings.
Well you’ve still got the press the latinum in something, so that’s at one use
Hahahahahahah holy shit holy fucking shit
A hundred percent, but the fact remains that journalists have a very hard time supporting themselves in their profession. A job that is critical (when done well) to an informed public.
It must be depressing knowing you could just take a TypeScript React bootcamp and probably double salary in a year. Like, journos have an important job. It’s just not lucrative, despite its value to people/society.
