L'Italia è quel paese dove c'è gente che si mette il lutto se Sinner perde un torneo di tennis ma non gliene frega niente se un referendum importantissimo sui temi del lavoro non raggiunge il quorum.
Anzi, a pensarci bene, l'Italia non è nemmeno un paese.

Io ho votato e potrò lamentarmi.
Io ho votato e potrò arrabbiarmi.
Io ho votato e potrò partecipare al dialogo.
Se non hai votato, MUTO devi stare.
#referendum

Per raggiungere il #quorum sarebbe bastato che tutti quelli che si sono precipitati al cinema a vedere il film di Paola Cortellesi, quasi 37 milioni di incassi per il film più visto del 2023, fossero andati a votare.

Dal 1995 a oggi (con esclusione del 2011) il quorum non è mai stato raggiunto
L'affluenza alle votazioni in calo
Ce ne stiamo allegramente fottendo della democrazia e in questa pigrizia sguazzano i populisti

Cancelled TV show you never stop thinking about

Girl From Nowhere (2018)

I haven't heard anything official, but at this point, I've lost any hope of a third season 😔

Mfers be like “wheRe arE tHe gAmEs tho?!” and I’m here feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of games in my backlog and upcoming releases.

The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 — a rise they attribute to AI crawlers.

AI companies are killing the open web by stealing visitors from the sources of information and making them pay for the privilege

No: $450 system and $90 a pop for old games that weren't good when they were new Yes: Upgrading my PC so I can continue emulating old DOS and PlayStation 1 games like a good wasteful American

Every time Nintendo does big announcements nowadays I can't help but think if they were another gaming company they would be absolutely rinsed for it. Even when people are unhappy with them it's like mild annoyance that dissipates after a week.

well that was a very entertaining stream. they spent ten minutes announcing voice chat. you have to pay for breath of the wild 60 frames. it broke in the middle and completely fucked the ff7 announcement. silksong was there but also not there. bloodborne 2 switch exclusive. no price. incredible

One thing I couldn’t help but notice about that Switch 2 Direct is that they’re nickel-and-diming us for *everything.* The $450 version comes with zero software. No free upgrades for your Switch games. Even the game that’s just an interactive guide to the new hardware is “paid.”

Though I'm not a Nintendo dude I'm loving all the Switch love I'm seeing here.

But if this is true GOOD GOD, my beautiful people please rebel against having to pay to play games you *already own* in order to get improved frame rates and fidelity 😭

"How long can you talk about Girl From Nowhere?"

me:

it's called switch 2 becaues after watching nintendo direct imma switch 2 steam deck

I know not everyone has a Steam Deck, so this sizzle reel might be cool for them, but these are mostly games I've had on my Steam Deck for a year or two...

I totally get it and it's absolutely fair, i just wanted to be sure you were aware of the potential options. As a consumer i feel like the game already has a ton to show and it's so unique that it would already warrant a buy, but for sure i cannot have the rational perspective of a developer on this

thank you so much for the follow too 😆 i swear as soon as i have enough reviews finished i will start actually promoting it a bit to make it at least a bit useful with a few followers 😂

Now to get everyone who played it to leave a little review to help the Steam algorithm.. 😅

thank you so much, you guys! I hope this is going to help Misgiven reach the audience it deserves - as soon as i have some free time i will add my personal review. I already convinced a friend to play and leave a review too, he was enchanted by the game's concept and potential 😎

We all know EA and the development was a large part of the problem, but... this game, as it is, should have sold more.

Both the reactionary "this is the worst game in 2024" fans who thought 2010 BioWare still existed, and the anti-woke crowd, gave this game a bad reputation.

i truly care about this game and want to see it succeed more than i can say

last unsolicited suggestion 😆 i wondered if you thought about opening the demo page of Misgiven to comments and reviews, i think that could be another great form of publicity for the game - it could help the algorithm push the demo more. I'm sorry again for this list of uninformed advice 😶‍🌫️

interesting projects and releases. Both magazines are open to collaborations with indie developers and encourage them to contact them to have a space for their projects on the newest publications, so i wondered if you knew of these spaces - maybe it could be a useful tool for promotion. And for a

reach a proper follower count and be able to help great developers like you reach a broader audience. I was wondering, and i'm sorry if i'm overstepping with this, if you knew of the existence of the indie game magazines Debug and Patch - i'm subscribed to both and use them to keep updated on new

@symmetrybreak.bsky.social hey guys, i'm still brainstorming ideas to find ways to publicize Misgiven and have it reach its designed audience the way it deserves. I opened a Steam curator page for indies that deserve better and i put Misgiven front and center, i hope by curating it costantly i will
