    Games, like movies and TV, have become so expensive to make because studios and publishers have consolidated so much that they can’t keep the machine running with modest budgets to make modest profits. They have to slop together content with the lowest effort to extract the highest revenue from microtransactions and season passes because every game has to be a Call of Duty/Fortnite/Pokemon level hit or the studio is shuttered by the publisher.

    Great games are still being made, just like great movies that aren’t remake or superhero slop are being made. Just not from big money but independent studios instead.




  • I mean I’m not in any danger of losing my personal documents because I have 3 copies stored on various media/services.

    I’m also not so heavily invested into any one media or software distribution ecosystem that I would be devastated if lost access to it.

    You aren’t powerless unless you make the choice to be. (Either intentionally or just out of not knowing the alternatives)













  • I’m guessing you are the 4th most points scored team that sadly got eliminated? I’m in a similar spot myself. I ended up starting 1-5 because of rough luck with points against (and injuries RIP Nabers and Conner)

    I’ve rebounded to 6-7 and am on track to win this week after Aubrey’s game. Sadly I need the team ahead of me to lose for me to get the last playoff spot and that team has Gibbs.

    I have second most points against in that league.
