fishy

Just insider trading? Those super pacs are the fucking Democrats and Republicans at this point. Greed itself is our new overlord, business ethics are dead and rotting.

Almost all the new hires at work save shit to one drive and teams and it's incredibly annoying to locate anything. Just save it to the dang shared drive.

Rom hacks can be so good, but why can't we move past hm's??

From what I've heard a lot of the same og programmers and animators from the game boy days are still in charge of making the games and they don't want a large team. They also don't want to have to work really hard or learn new skills, so basically all the work falls to inexperienced people being led by people with incredibly dated skills. Nintendo still rakes in tons of money so they don't see the need to interject.

It's all made up horse shit to draw lines between us. People don't neatly fit into a line or graph and it's really lame people keep repeating this crap.

IMO this is the best option. Choose activities you'd like to do and you'll meet women with similar interests and it's way easier to connect.

Agreed, we've spent so long waiting it's all we're conditioned to do. We believed our elected officials would do what's in the country's interest but here we are.

We as a nation need to bury both political parties and get this train back on the tracks because while Dems are far better than maga they're still corpo bootlickers.

With the tools available now, a smaller team can make projects that compete with much larger studios, mostly because they don't have a hand tied behind their backs from having to paywall or monetize things. Currently playing Motortown: Behind the wheel, it's literally a single dev making it and it's just an all around great experience. He implements what he and the players want without extra fluff or cash grabs and players are spreading the word around about our love for this game so he doesn't need marketing.

I don't think big budget AAA games will change much going forward, the businessmen always think they know best and they'll continue to make games worse if they believe it'll increase profit. An indie game will just never produce fortnight or GTA money, so they'll continue to want games that can replicate that model.

So the purge, but what we'd all actually do?

It's the same in every industry. Rich shit bags move in and buy successful entities but have no idea how to run them. They slowly get shittier, so good employees move on and do their own thing.

There's still amazing games being made, there's just a lot more shit games you have to sift though. Follow great game devs, not who they work for.

Welcome to the age of the smartphone, where we're more informed while being more misinformed and where we're all connected but can't actually connect. We've hit the point where people can watch something, stare the truth in the eye and say "that's a lie" or be told an obvious lie that could be disproved in less than a minute and say "that's so true."

There's no easy way out of the hole now either. If the government stepped in, the people spreading lies would simply lie and say the government was misleading people and people would gobble it up, and there's no way I'd trust anything privately owned to tell me the truth.

Yeah, not that I used to eat fast food a lot but with prices as high as they've gotten I just can't justify it. It's garbage food that's more expensive than sit-down options. Everyone has a phone, so with 10 minutes of pre planning you can order from anywhere and not have to sit there and wait which makes McDonald's lose ground in convenience too.

Pricing is about the only place McDonald's could win, but they're too greedy and we all know it.
