unfortunately the left seems to be waiting for someone else to fix the problem. They don't seem to realize they are that someone else at this point in time. Maybe they should think about what the history books will say.

Nate Silver gargles Trump's balls for fun. He's also a libertarian, and I think to be able to identify as one you have to have literal brain damage and not understand how reality works.

They don't want to be "one of the first to die in service to their country". When I turned 18 I went off to basic training and from there went on to fight in one of our longest armed conflicts in modern history. You can't peacefully protest away tyrants. People don't like to be told that.
The Muznick (@themuznick.bsky.social) reply parent
I wouldn't even bother with this idiot, if they don't understand how revolutions work they won't understand what you're saying. I'm a combat veteran, if fighting breaks out in Maryland, of course I will fight. But aside from that IDK what this clown expects.

When I thought I couldn't love them any more. It's now confirmed @teamcherry.bsky.social is pricing Silksong at $20. They gave me one of my favorite games and while the wait for this game was long, its looking like we are in for a treat.

look at live service games. Look at Sony's obsession with getting their own successful version of some live service slop. You would think they would learn from Concord straight up failing in less than a month would tell them no one wants it. Gen AI is causing problems too. Its a race to the bottom.
The Muznick (@themuznick.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree with the quality portion. Console bloat is part of that led to the crash. Someone who was in the game at the time claimed that there were over 100 developers who were pumping out games at an insane pace. He says that maybe 6 of those survived. Quality is still the problem...

They're aware they're trying to get a rise out of the right because to the right, not even slurs are as evil as the word socialist. They're mocking and insulting their intelligence. Low hanging fruit really but still, they know. The goal is to send Trump into tweet storms, he's less dangerous then

Third times the charm? I just hope that if we do get a crash it won't impact many indie devs.
The Muznick (@themuznick.bsky.social) reply parent
We are experiencing that now as well. A bunch of career executives hear that the video game market is a trillion dollar industry and come on over trying to apply their "spreadsheet math" to this market only for it to fail. They don't understand the market and flood it with trash because of that.

The person burned to death because they were stupid enough to buy a Cybertruck. Excuse me while I struggle to find sympathy for a person who is probably racist and has more money than sense. I'm not celebrating their death. I just don't feel any remorse for far right cocksuckers.
The Muznick (@themuznick.bsky.social) reply parent
Not every indie studio is going to succeed, but every single AAA studio is at a point where they are too big to fail. This is the problem with the market right now. AAA studios do whatever they want and we have to just take it. I'll stay with my indies thank you. Team Cherry seems to be doing fine.
The Muznick (@themuznick.bsky.social) reply parent
Exhibit A and B, Expedition 33 and Baldur's Gate 3, we can add exhibit C with Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, I didn't play that one though. Larian grew pretty quickly after Baldur's Gate 3 blew up, but Expedition 33 is a condemnation of every single lie AAA studios spit out about the costs of game dev
The Muznick (@themuznick.bsky.social) reply parent
That's the problem. I'm guessing you're a bit younger. The crash happened in the 80's, I think 83 to be specific was when Atari took that landfill trip to dump all their games. When the games were discovered Atari filled it in with concrete after destroying any remaining carts. Bad games cause it.
The Muznick (@themuznick.bsky.social) reply parent
Why? These look great. I see several people that like what they see.
The Muznick (@themuznick.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep. They make video games by spreadsheet instead of learning. Theyre not aware that the brain dead tricks that works in other markets doesn't work here. I think a market crash might actually be good at this point. Give indies a chance to shine. Ive all but abandoned AAA games.
The Muznick (@themuznick.bsky.social)
Something I've learned from reading books is that the video game market had a pretty nasty crash back in the 80's. The cause of that crash? Not understanding why people played video games. The biggest problem in the gaming market today? Countless studios who don't understand why people play games.

Honestly, at this point, I've hit Souls fatigue. Every other game that comes out now is a Souslike, its become the new "open world game", I'll stick to Fromsoft souls and Lies of P thanks. I don't need a new soulslike every 2 weeks that re-invents the wheel and so you need a PhD to understand it.

no one had any issues with how viewer counts worked before, this isn't view botting, its just twitch making arbitrary rules that in the end harms lurkers. Lurking is anyone's god given right and twitch was like "how about no, if you want to count you have to talk in chat...
