Bluesky typically only serves up your text posts to me, I rarely see your art posts unfortunately. Idk, there's something messed up with the way that the algorithm chooses what content to serve users on here since the day I joined πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I feel bad for the developers that are getting by at the bottom of the totem pole who absolutely tried to sway leadership in a different direction and ultimately didn't succeed.

I'm going to be completely honest having played it. It's not a good game. The design is a mess from top to bottom and the art style is a smattering of things that have been overused over the years. It has everything that I personally do not want from a multiplayer FPS all in one package.

The reason why the triple A one-liner and constant dialogue meme exists is because designers and writers all grew up playing Bubsy

Obsessing over a funny homebrew app for a 13 year old release of android.

HEAVILY debating whether I should go through the effort to install a bunch of pipeline tools to try and fix some input bugs or not for it lmao

My crackpot speculation is that increasing prices and more aggressive monetization in the face of economic downturn is not putting up the magical numbers that board members and executives thought it would this year.

It's been a hard year for sure

Industrial is like, Star Citizen type stuff. Its the kind you see in "modular SciFi kits" pretty often posted to art station and on unity and unreal marketplaces.

The problem is people have tended towards very specific things for influence. Neo futurism and industrial SciFi are the 2 most over saturated styles in current year IMHO, and Mass Effect kinda started that trend in games for example.

SciFi includes steampunk, atompunk, dieselpunk, raypunk, etc.

It really depends what flavor you're after. There's a vast wealth of Japanese SciFi media that culminated in the 70s, 80s, and 90s that all do different things from the norm that is over saturated now. Notables are Ghost in The Shell, Blame, Gundam, Evangelion, Akira, and anything Akira Toriyama.

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

In 2D Mario platformers, Mario can either crouch or slide, but is denied the ability to sit in place. However, with a specific setup in Super Mario Bros. 3, Mario will come to rest in a sliding animation, finally allowing him to simply sit.
