it's also like we don't really learn anything about tojima himself, other than the fact that he wants to be a kamen rider

like they really needed the show to be about him and yakuza dude for a couple episodes to let things simmer before introducing like a half dozen new characters

"This character is insanely hot for no reason"

The reason is someone wanted to design them to be hot, bro. This isn't rocket science. Stop shoveling Corn Flakes and graham crackers down your throat to suppress the horny and try being human for once.

been seeing this type of GDPR notice where if you click the "reject all" option, it produces this popup that blacks out the screen and tells you that it'll take a few minutes to "process" your selection

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

Food for thought... There's a lot of talk about speeding up game development, given how many recent games took 5-7 years to make. But many of those were hampered by the switch from Unreal 4 to 5. And ALL of them lost months to covid. Perhaps one way to make games faster is to not have a pandemic

What’s a game that would be much more popular if it were better looking?

What’s a great game that’s held back by its art style or theme?

I don’t mind the look of Troyes Dice at all, but I think it would be a true hit if it had more modern visual appeal.

What are yours?

This happened to me with Castles of burgundy. Never could get into the old version, it was so ugly. However, the special edition was an instant hit and it's now of my favorite games. It was a wake up call, a GREAT game can be hiding behind a very ugly coat of paint!

Bohnanza. Both the theme of being a "bean merchant" and the weird art makes it hard to convince anyone to try the game out.

Twilight Struggle. It is top tier semi-asymmetrical 2p game but whenever I show it to someone the look at it and say nope

going insane reading this thread about games that would be more popular if they were better-looking because the entire thread is just a list of games that are already really popular, with several games being mentioned more than once

Always take sentences using β€œthe Cloud” or β€œthe Internet” and try replacing those phrases with β€œA shed in Virginia” to see how they hold up. β€œOur service is fully based in a shed in Virginia”; β€œAll my files are in a shed in Virginia”; β€œA shed in Virginia was designed to survive a nuclear war”, etc.

Apparently CHDK has a fix for this. Had to generate a badpixels file and set RAW format to DNG 1.1, and that seems to have fixed the problem, so now I can enjoy taking delicious grainy CCD photos. It does unfortunately make it so that it takes a long time to save the photos though (like 3-4s).

3 days of a general strike would cripple the US economy. Union rules apply, if everyone does it together, they can't fire everyone for doing it.
Italy just managed one that was hugely successful. the US has done it before. General strike now!! #political

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

noticing this weird thing lately where people refer to "zines" as this specific kind of foldy booklet thing, where before they were like any kind of DIY home/library printer publication

wonder how that happened

Thought Slime is one of the real ones. Their videos have definitely help me question a lot of the base-level assumptions I've held about how the world works.

And, again, maybe the immediate answer here isn't "train on more disabled users' faces!" but rather perhaps stopping and thinking "hey maybe a sociotechnical paradigm that is literally predicated on and made of unending surveillance and a demand for certain 'right kinds' of bodies is bad actually πŸ€”"

I'm looking at the JP scene and they just don't do shit like this. Like designers are making Uno and Sugoroku-like games over there, not to mention the metric ton of pitch games and Mafia/Werewolf-style games, and it's clearly helping the hobby gain mainstream acceptance there.

Somehow, I don't think being dismissive of mass market board games and going "you should toss those out and play [list of $50+ games] instead" is winning people over, especially now that board gamers are starting to take the same attitude toward hobby staples like Catan, Pandemic, and Wingspan.
