Hi Bluesky!

I make null/void deathscapes and sunken monuments to mankind's eternal hubris

I also made a retro-futuristic cyberpunk game, Jazzpunk

all of this is to say, if you don't provide advanced tools or pipelines for developers, to leverage all of this "new power", then you will only end up with a handful of AAA games that each cost 60-150 million to make

those games will be boring by default, because no company wants a $150mil risk

I have yet to play a single PS5 game. I have no felt compelled to even buy a ps5 yet, the library has been so meager

and I say this as someone who bought a ps1, ps2, and ps3 with fervor. they're making hardware so advanced that no developer can live up to the specs, because they don't provide tools

I am literally wearing a t-shirt with this carmageddon artwork on it right now. surreal to see where its from

ʟᴜɪs ʜᴇʀɴᴀɴᴅᴇᴢ ⚡ @beetlenaut.bsky.social · 2d

lol I had no idea how much ff8 just had "earth" stuff in it

ʟᴜɪs ʜᴇʀɴᴀɴᴅᴇᴢ ⚡ @beetlenaut.bsky.social · 2d

is this actually in the game or is this a mod?

ʟᴜɪs ʜᴇʀɴᴀɴᴅᴇᴢ ⚡ @beetlenaut.bsky.social · 3d

yeah thats definitely a high watermark

Im just seeing less and less potential tapped with each generation. the budgets and team sizes are absurd, no one can make a ps6 spec game except maybe rockstar, EA, activision, ubisoft, and even they are basically chewing up people to accomplish it

ʟᴜɪs ʜᴇʀɴᴀɴᴅᴇᴢ ⚡ @beetlenaut.bsky.social · 3d

hell we dont need a ps5

I still think the ps4 is powerful as hell, look at the games on that thing. so much untapped potential

had Kennedy not died I really wonder what that timeline would've looked like

but also without the absence I dont think we'd have ever got Fury Road

grab me some weird piezos!

ʟᴜɪs ʜᴇʀɴᴀɴᴅᴇᴢ ⚡ @beetlenaut.bsky.social · 4d

the positive pressure basically makes it a cleansuit

yeah I think filtering that air ...and you have a chemical warfare armour

still want padding incase they go at you with batons though

who'd have thought that supporting the people who make your favourite music, tv shows, books, movies, videogames, jewelry, costumes, paintings, sculpture, etc ... would pay off?

who'd have thought they were valuable members of society all this time??

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

who would have thought that supporting the folks that made every fucking thing you've ever enjoyed would be a good idea??
