I’m not talking about quality, I’m talking about media presence. Shite games are released all the time, but this game wasn’t exciting enough people. And Spiders isn’t big enough to just absorb “no press” and “low expectations” to continue working on a game that probably won’t recoup costs.

While it is sad to see a studio doing AA RPG shut down, I think Greedfall 2 has been kicking around expos for like 3 years and all the coverage of the game has been tepid at best. I’m unsurprised to hear this rumor.

You expect an official release of Tale of Two Wastelands?

Each game will be released separately for 70 dollars and will be disappointing.

Y’all get 5 hrs of sleep a night every night??

Crazy

I played the demo of the first game but I had never played a Souls game before, so I couldn’t properly compare even though I had some dissonant vibes with the combat pacing.

Glad they made enough to continue working.

Assuming you aren’t from Ukraine, how much did Ukraine impact your daily life/touch your daily awareness before it became a battlefield? Countries shouldn’t gain more respect just because they’re incorporated as a country, especially when it’s halfway across the world.

(Researched, via Wikipedia and WorldPopulationReview) Missouri has a population of 6.3 million and total land area of ~178K km; larger in size than countries like Greece and Hungary, and more populous than countries like Denmark and Finland and Ireland. So it should be less regarded than any of those countries because it remains a state?

My stance is: either you should believe any population center of a reasonably large size/population density is worth memorizing or you should just memorize the ones relatively important to you.

There are probably distinct provinces in Canada and China outperforming many countries, so why should they exist on a lower tier than a “country”, just because they were persuaded or “persuaded” to incorporate into something larger?

That’s probably true.

Just like I suspect most Europeans couldn’t point out Mississippi or Missouri or Missachetts on the map.

Or even know that “Missachetts” isn’t a real state.

Maybe it’s a US/EU difference, where EU people wanted to be more specific. I was responding to the incorrect claim that nobody uses the the term “eurojank”.

While I commiserate with people not wanting to be “typecast” like the other dev complaining about the term JRPG, I’ve never parsed the terms as boxing in devs to their location. “JRPG” and “eurojank” are posthoc titles describing where the collection of features coalesced. Just like Expedition 33 is a JRPG, despite japanese RPGs pioneering the feature set and aesthetic back in the 90s.

“Eurojank” is more aesthetic and ‘vibe’ than genre features though.

I’ve literally never seen anyone call it “slavjank”

If Superman was already heading home with his clothes, why wear the outfit underneath at all??

I posit he just crushes it down to the molecular level with super strength and hides it in his ear.

And they’re gilded in the wealth they’ve fleeced from their workers and their normal, individual consumers.

Prancing and jeering for the AI companies they’ve sold and shackled themselves to.

All I’m getting is I should start flipping a coin when I’m suspicious someone is flirting with me. Bonus points is it’ll make me look mysterious.

That’s hilarious, you activated a faux meet-cute and turned it real.

Is there anything saying that Jedi mindtricks are permanent? You can trick them for a moment, but it’ll fade and you’re back at square 1.

I fundamentally cannot agree with that take. How do you fix something if you don’t know why the current thing doesn’t work?

Is the interface obtuse?

Are the controls too manually complex to operate?

Is the tutorial instruction flat-out wrong?

Are they talking out off their ass about something they heard on hearsay?

Were they taught secondhand, and poorly, by someone else on how to operate Thing?

Please don’t try to imprecisely apply soft inclusivity to technical problems. If someone only says the stairs are difficult for them, don’t just change them into a slide because you accepted there needs to be change. This isn’t about accomodating someone’s lifestyle choices, this is (positing) dropping/adopting a standard based on vague dissent.

Bipeds can distinctly kick, punch, and also hold things into those punchers like merch and brand deals.

Bipeds are the ideal form for human propaganda.

I’ve heard it’s SE Asian, not Hawaiian

The philosophy is pretty straight-forward. I don’t know why the world is pretending it’s difficult.

You can’t force engagment by picking a guy whose name is Matt Booty, Microsoft.
