I don’t unless people ask. Most people don’t care, so I don’t start with the assumption they’re going to listen. Part of it, I realize now, it’s because I info dump. Wish I had known that before middle age.
I’m not in software dev but 8 years seems a long time to make a game like this. I love the game and play it daily, but it’s not that deep. It’s has 5 maps and 20 guns and 2 kinds of enemies. That doesn’t doesn’t seem like an 8 year dev time.
Why do people always feel like their inexperience on a topic is relevant?
Because this feels unusual but I’m not an expert and I can’t say whether that amount of time is truly usual or not. I’m in manufacturing and when people say what I said, then it’s usually as an invitation to discuss the topic.
No, just the opposite. It’s a ton of work for not a lot of results. It’d be like saying it took you 3 days to make a sandwich. That’s wayyyyyy longer than I’d expect it to take, with the caveat, I’m not a professional sandwich maker.
I’m conflicted. I have a parent who’s dying. I feel the void of the parenting I was supposed to receive. They never fulfilled any of the obligations I consider appropriate. I’m a parent, now. They did none of the things I’m doing for my kids....
Oh, wow. That’s amazing. My parent isn’t as bad in severity as his mother, but there are a loooooot of commonalities. Wow. It also made me think about my 2nd parent and how they didn’t stand up for me as much as they should have. Wow. I’m gonna chew on this and watch it again.
You sound like the person in the video that was linked in another reply.

I highly recommend this video, it’s by a therapist who went through a similar thing and he breaks it down very well: m.youtube.com/watch?v=zcRUj8H3rc4
One is the permanent loss of any possibility of receiving the parental love that every child deserves.
The second is the actual human being that was your parent.
I think it’s the former. I grieved the parental relationship several years ago when I realized it would never change.
Why do you think you should feel bad for them passing?
Because that’s what’s typical. People typically grieve the passing of their parents.
Because I’m hard wired that way. I want/love/crave family at a base level. I had kids because I love having a family. I’m a family person. I know, intellectually, that my parent is garbage, but I am emotional as well.

So me and my dad were talking about pressure canning and how it’s very uncommon. I’ve never talked to anyone irl that pressure cans, maybe some water bath canning but that’s it. I wonder why it’s so uncommon? You can get a pressure canner for less than 150$ and it’s incredibly useful....
It’s not really necessary in modern society. I do canning and other preservation hobbies. It’s easier to buy it. Unless you’re really interested in customizing your food, which is why I do it, it’s easier to buy it.
Are you cherry picking the good games out of older libraries? I find people do that a lot when remembering. It’s a survivorship bias thing. The good ones get remembered more and the bad one forgotten, so they seem like the population is better.
The cm’s have literally said it’s Sony. Why would there be speculation that it’s steam?
Edit: I misunderstood. I meant that the whole initiative was from Sony. Kroxx was talking about the delisting in specific. I don’t have any info on that.
I hate it because it was a bait and switch. I didn’t have to and now they’ve altered the deal after I’m wayyyyyyyyyyyyy past the refund period. If it wasn’t gonna be optional, don’t let me play in the first place.
Assuming you’re not trolling, yes. The backfire effect is a proven psychologically studied phenomenon. Arguing at people with facts and logic and aggression tends to reinforce their original beliefs. effectiviology.com/backfire-effect-facts-dont-cha…
Ironically, telling you this will likely not convince you due to said effect.
What a weird case. As much as I don’t like big companies or take two, I find it hard to understand how a tattoo is owned by the artist and not the bearer of it. It’s James’s body at that point.

It’s not Zelda like, but if you like factory games, Satisfactory is as close to open world as a factory game gets. You land on a planet and have to build a factory to launch things into space for corporate overlords. It’s first person, lots of climbing and building. There’s a tiny bit of combat, not the focus tho.
No shit it’s gonna fail. If you half ass something you obviously didn’t wanna do, in an already fucked up development situation, it’s not going well. No shit Sherlock.
I’m so pissed. I was so hyped for pve. I love the overwatch character design and universe but hate pvp.
I’m not going to think oh look a kotaku article just because of the name, I went there because of the quality of journalism that was there.
lol, I see that name and it actually lowers the likelihood I’ll read it. They do have good info, but sometimes take it too far with editorializing. That said, they’re not polygon, which I’ll just skip.
