Launchers allow you to change settings before having the game up, for example, which can be nice.

Or you can change options after the game launches, like a normal game.

The entirety of the internet is unusable without ad blockers.

When the fuck has economic disincentive ever been a priority for civil courts? Large corporations do billions of dollars of damage on a regular basis, and get fined for millions.

If buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing.

Q: How does Snoop answer the phone?

A: I’ll make the song.

Yep, we already beat that dead IP into the ground, so let’s do it for another one!

Chris Roberts is still rich, and could probably retire right now without worrying about anything. He could tank the company, and he wouldn’t care.

Same thing for Disco Elysium.

A friendly reminder that GIMP and Da Vinci Resolve are things that exist.

That’s WB in a nutshell.

They just put out a Smash Bros competitor with a ton of characters, voice acting, looked like it had a lot of promise.

…and it’s free-to-play. Which means it’s loaded with microtransactions.

Imagine being one of those guys who puts in all of this effort for a game that is doomed to fail.

Gonna wait until it comes out before I play or look at any of this stuff.

Whoa… I’ve had this on my wishlist for years. I was half afraid that it was just in development limbo. Didn’t realize the dev finally put out a demo.

This is the same guy that did Gunpoint and Heat Signature. Heat Signature especially was super inventive in its core gameplay loop. I’d expect no less from a tactical game like this one.

The animated screenshots remind me of some of the mechanics of Fights in Tight Places.

Probably a seasonal thing between months. Music and books seem to be on the rise here.

That’s kind of a global problem, not really tied to the industry as a whole.

The difference is that a CS degree is actually useful. You wouldn’t believe the amount of people with a bachelors/masters in some random degree (like math or music) that end up getting a programming job.

The programming industry is only growing. Tools like CoPilot and modern IDE might may it slightly easier, but there is no shortage of things that need development.

Music is so easy to make nowadays, and everybody wants to be a musician. It is an extreme oversaturated industry, and people keep falling into the same mistake of making it a career choice.

Same with acting, art, writing, and most creative positions.

Well, got this rather generic description of the game itself out of Gemini at least:

Sure, just take the all of the ingredients out of your sandwich and eat just the crust…

Has anybody actually use this? The workflow seems complicated but promising, but I don’t see any examples of their results.

This forever-in-development thing they have going on is ridiculous.

It’s a feature, not a bug.

Heh, that third picture with the blue cat face. Funny, the other cat has the colors of the dog it wanted, but turned it into a cat.
