Oof that style would also drive me crazy. When I DM I make it clear right at the start that the point of my game is cooperative story telling. The game part is really just there to facilitate that and keep things interesting. If I ever had someone metagaming that hard it would kill the roleplay I think.
I believe it’s because the original software it’s built on is created by a group with those views. That’s what I’ve picked up on at least.
The machine spirit does not favor you this day, brother.
Major improvement over the last one! 👏
Yeah agreed. It’s pretty wild what the tech can do at the best of times, but it’s just way too half baked on many levels right now to rely on.
AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it’s clearly a useful one.
It may not have been that “clearly” even just a year ago, but it’s no longer in question today.
This is such a massive red flag comment. If anything it’s become increasingly clear in the last year how problematic the tech is…
He follows that up by saying people should make the tools help maintainers not harm them, but suggests no means to do so. This is so blasé and hand wavy, especially when he’s responding to people complaining about how it’s making their jobs harder. “Just use the tools better”. Gee, thanks Linus.
At some point businessy people just started saying"Happy whatever-day-it-is". Happy Friday was the only acceptable one. 😅
What part of the bird is inside his head? 😬
Its all so misanthropic. Not once does he actually justify whether they needed to make more money to be profitable. It’s just flippantly assumed that they would have needed to double revenue to be worth keeping. That sounds like a made up number.
Felt dude, it sucks. Takes way longer to recover from than I’d like, too.
Someone Photoshop this onto the amnesia dark descent monster
I’m gonna give you the answer no motivated person wants to hear. You should listen to your body and take a rest. You’ll be able to get more done with time, but exhausting yourself to get there won’t help in the long run (ask me how I know 🫠)
I think that would be solved by making early access games have the normal refund window regardless of length. That seems reasonable as well.
I think the short games get shorter windows would be completely reasonable. I’m sure that would even show up as a tag in the store, too, so it would be additional info for the buyer as well.
There are only two servers I regularly hang out on. I think it’s no coincidence that both of them are very low moderation. People are relaxed so they chat way more in those spaces.
Having channels is fine, but worrying about everything staying on topic perfectly and micromanaging it chills discussion I’ve noticed.
I’ve had a moment like this even doing indie game dev as a passion project. There’s a never ending flood of marketing and sales advice for game devs, and it can really suck the fun out of a project if you start to obsess over doing everything the “right way”.
Unfortunately marketing is a necessity, and if you need to make money from a game you have to try and make a product, not just a piece of art. I think for most creatives they want the business side to stay as backseat as possible, though.
I was thinking that first part, too. CoC has such better support for horror themes like OP mentions in how it’s structured. Unthinkable horrors are a lot more interesting when they can drive you insane. 😂
