Which is unfortunate given it was ostensibly an RPG.

I'll sound like a hipster, but I still like ME1 the best because it was this interesting promise of an expansive sci-fi RPG world. The world did expand but it sanded off the RPG.

I was interested in an artist's specific critiques of GIMP. I know GIMP is clunky but I'm not in the industry, so I don't know what's considered necessary or useful for artists.

If you're having a bad day, just don't comment.

Someone ping me if this gets a reply

The community are playing the main games,

People are playing Vampire Survivors because it's Vampire Survivors. No one can say whether it would be the Flagship of its genre if genAI let someone create a passable knock-off in a week. Yeah, we've always had knock-offs but those required some modicum of effort to produce. And that effort took time, time where the original could become entrenched with people that like what it innovated on.

We can't talk numbers because nobody has them, but I'm pessimistic that the majority of Vampire Survivors (or any game that has reached "mainstream") players are engaging with the game in a way to interfaces with what makes it unique. They would get the same enjoyment out of a shallow rip-off. They're only going with VS or any mainstream because other people have vetted it as "not a waste of money" or out of FOMO. Idk how old you are but I absolutely "enjoyed" N64 shovelware games that were objectively 6 out of 10s because they were good enough. And I have a more discerning palate now, but that's because I'm a fan of the industry. Most people are just consuming content, like watching basic TV. The "fans" you describe are people in these comments. And they are indisputably in the minority when it comes to volume of product sales.

They weren't saying "Dragon Age" was an EA‐years product. The later games in the Dragon Age franchise were.

I don't think die-hard fans that trade off of established names are carrying direct profits. Especially for a franchise/studio as young as Moonlighter.

Die-hard fans keep the game's community alive, which can eventually lead to new people finding it, but I'd be surprised if even 50% of a game's revenue is supported by people that would pick the game out of a line up of all the game they play in a year. And that other, indifferent 50% could realistically be snapped up by someone who shits out a cheap clone with a similar enough aesthestic.

Ah, fuck, I'm cooked...

I thought the book added that as a threat. Like "don't make write this stupid nonsense, because I will."

IMO Animals are like toddlers, in that they aren't sapient enough to internalize various social rules, and stifle intrusive thoughts and instincts. I don't think dogs are wagging their tails as an uncontrollable reflex of happiness. They are happy and choose wag to their tails. If they were smarter (and did social interactions like humans), they'd be able to hold their tails.

Frowns are natural reactions when you're upset and we've learned to hide those. You can hold back a smile if you shouldn't be laughing at someone. If an adult had expressive ears and tails, I'd expect them to be able to suppress their initial reactions.

That's not to say there's no one who might have difficulties, but I wouldn't expect it to be an additional challenge.

Contraception exists, so you can keep banging without children. Maybe they decided they didn't want more children.

Unless there's some "staunchly against jimmy caps" lore about the Addams I am unaware of.

That's not why it's called a hard drive.

Idk if Sweeney is trying to pull one over on people he thinks are dumb. I'd believe that he thinks those are meaningful changes because he's just a deluded twat.

It's not an exoneration. I'm just not angry at him, only derisive.

Honestly. GOG often helps get some older ones playable on modern architecture too.

Although I don't think GOG has reached parity between Windows and Linux yet, even if they've gotten closer.

Yeah, she likely had to rely on nepotism. Just like in the good, ol' days.

And the now ol' days.

Honestly, I wish you were wealthy too. So you could afford to see a therapist about what's clearly wrong with you mentally.

Instead, we'll both have to console ourselves this: an offer for you to go fuck yourself, free of charge.

Pedant, sure. "Autist" feels like a strange addendum.

Yeah, that's on me. I was expecting you were an idiot that didn't know the difference carpets and rugs.

Edit: what do you mean, you people? What demographic have I been assigned?

Carpets are, like....stapled into the ground. Do you mean rugs?

That's so sad...

That poor woman fell in love with an ignoramus.

It is inane that one of the options is "just hold on for a few days and see what happens" and that it is a viable option at all. Government is in shambles.
