Trusting your audience to appreciate the depth of work that isn’t just flashy graphics, plus respecting players by not filling it with micro transactions.

People are desperate for games with some heart.

Causes some issues.

Like when they start vaping at 1 y/o and their first words are about taking a “gap year” after Pre-K?

That’s pretty impressive. Having twins sounds awesome.

I feel like if I ever have twins, I’m going to stress about that more than is necessary. Like, documenting freckles or using a sharpie or something.

This is what I love about the Souls genre. It’s a great feeling to chase.

Been hearing good things and am looking forward to trying it out!

Sometime between now and 2271!

I don’t trust it not to break.

Also they’re wildly expensive.

I’m personally loving how much Trek is on Lemmy. There’s even a star trek based instance.

This isn’t uncommon now, and it’s sad. Social media algorithms pushing doom and gloom for clicks are scaring people out of living their lives.

The whole thing feels very similar to how Fox News scares old people for viewers, except maybe less intentional.

I’m going to take this moment to intentionally appreciate not having a headache. Thanks.

I see this all the time on social media, and it’s frustrating. I don’t want to dampen anyone’s passion for combating climate change (because I agree!), but it’s like a feedback loop for rhetoric that gets more and more extreme.

Something that starts out as:

“There was a wildfire in _____. This could be part of a larger trend related to climate change.”

Turns into:

“This fire was caused directly by climate change.”

Turns into:

“The world is on fire! Take shelter!”

Turns into:

“Don’t plan for the future. Don’t have children. Move somewhere cold and start prepping for the apocalypse.”

You can literally watch this same process happen with every issue that gets traction on social media or cable news. Then one side looks at the most extreme comments from the other side and easily dismisses the whole thing.

He’s not wrong. Groupthink elevates the most extreme rhetoric, and when people hear that, they disregard the totally valid argument as a whole.

If one person is saying “Hey, this could be bad for our coral reefs, polar bear populations, may cause more hurricanes over time, etc.” they’re going to be completely drowned out by the person saying “THIS IS THE END OF MODERN SOCIETY!” (paraphrased from an upvoted comment under this post)

Now stack a game genie on top of that, like some cursed totem pole.

I plan to bounce around anyway. The fediverse is great.

Maybe it’ll take place back in the day of Gwen, Artorias, and all the knights.

Maybe I’ll finally understand the plot. I’ve watched so many videos (and played the games of course) and feel like I’m only grasping parts of it.

Oh, I know. I was just saying that to tell them that their post helped another person.

Don’t mind me, just saving this comment too.

With his first child on the way too. What a tragic story.
