Do you think he's got those goalposts on wheels or floats? I dunno, but I know they have some serious horsepower.

I feel like the nobility of old were doing similarly stupid things in context, but we're at the very least to Excesses Of The Roman Elite / Nobility yes

Watch Out!

NEWS WIRE NewsWire B @NewsWire_US X.com Americans set to pay more for cars, coffee and clothing as average U.S. tariff rate jumps to high not seen since Great Depression - WaPo

"high not seen since Great Depression" is good right

Like it's right there in the word, it was Great, and now we've exceeded it

Eh, people have predicted that F2P gamers never buy games again etc etc since mobile phones took center stage

Hasn't happened

Doubt this will change that

Yep! This is how a ton will fill the gap: F2P slop

You might be able to argue that it'll create a generation of gamers predisposed toward F2P but they've been predicting that ever since phones game into being and everything is still trucking along fine so <shrug>

Yerp. And there'll be an indie game channeling their love of (that thing that no longer exists) too for the handful of cases where that happens but

Honestly most live service shit really is slop and I just, don't engage with it, I don't need more oatmeal, I'm good 😭

Granted this assumes things get better in a decade but

look I'm not just not going to sit here dreaming of a world that keeps getting worse, so miss me with those replies yeah? Nobody got time for that much speculative pessimism

Seeing folks speculate that this will be a lost generation of gamers and

Uh no, when you're super poor and want the thing but can't afford it, you don't in a decade go "now I can afford it but don't want it"

Instead you sob and buy way too much of the thing in a failed bid to reclaim lost youth 😭

russia struck Zaporizhzhia with 2 guided aerial bombs. One of them hit the central bus station during rush hour, when people were returning home. The second strike hit the university hospital.

Cops get half a city's entire budget and and they rob, via asset forfeiture, literally more than burglars do.

Similar to how employers steal more money in wages than all robbery and burglary combined, except you're also forced to pay them 168+ hours overtime a week

Srsly this, there are cis women with literal full mustaches, you're fine, i've no idea if you're in the top 10% of women internationally but the other 90% are just as Woman and also cuter because seriously who wants to compete to be that when they could just be themselves cus you're fuckin beautiful

There's also a dash of Normative Gender Performance of course, because if women are wasting an hour or more a day Putting Their Face On (tm) it makes it easier for dudes to dominate but

mostly it's the Nazi eugenics

a man in a captain america costume holds a bat in a hallway Alt: Captain America sits backwards in his cool chair

BTW this is also why the gender purity movement is so fucking stupid, cus guess what, a lot of women are mannish already. The same people trying to ban us would also like Those Other Ones to quietly go away so they don't have to look at anyone but pretty people because

Hey, remember Nazi eugenics?

Seriously, i feel a lot of us just sorta never saw our moms pre makeup cus they were also that dysmorphic and we never understood the difference?

I am telling you now the best thing you can do as a trans person is get the fuck off of trans subreddits as fast as you possibly can. These people are not your friends and they are not your community. They are miserable and brainwormed and want you so dysmorphic you beg for their approval

Farscape stans, ASSEMBLE

And I don't mean genre like game genre I mean just, the kinda games you can prove out this way.

It's domain specific and depends a lot on your team and engine. But it also shakes out to, mostly, indicate certain genres and budget tiers and price points.

I figure it's a question of genre mostly. There's sort of an implicit understanding for a bunch of devs that indies just shouldn't be working in genres that don't operate like this, I think?

Which is itself somewhat valid! It's riskier. But also hard to stand out doing what everyone else is doing.

Again tho, doing it today, now that we have an animator (me), I'd bang up animations in Blender or Unreal since I animate in Unreal but I could learn Blender whatev,

and then it'd be ezpz, I could fake pretty much anything, and that approach would work in any engine cus it's just an animated FBX.

In Unreal's case, you have to route it in as Root Motion. Which can be synthetic, but you likely won't know how to do that unless you've, uh, made one of these games before. And already have the back-end systems necessary to support doing it the Right way.

(which is why it's genre-specific advice.)
