Gosh, maybe rushing to transform every possible fucking thing into a financial instrument on a fully unregulated market wasn't the best idea ever

"why are games so expensive"
"why are mass layoffs happening"
"why are games getting cancelled"
"why did that popular studio close"

it's capitalism. capitalism is why all of this is happening. the rampant prioritizing of profit over the all else, from price and quality to dev health and well being.

SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.

This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.

Ken from Street Fighter? Girl
Mega Man? Kirby
Kirby's Epic Yarn? You'd think Kirby, but no, actually they're Girl.

due to dysphoria i only play games where I can play as a girl or a kirby. Gordon Freeman is a type of Kirby. Master Chief is a type of girl.

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

Who the hell still eats fast food‽

It's never been good but the compromise was that it was fast and cheap.

It's no longer cheap, it hasn't been fast in a while, and again, it's not good.

BTW, it really does appear that Tori Amos created the first known pumpkin spice latte.

(Not a joke!)

That's notable! She doesn't call it a "pumpkin spice latte" specifically, but it's all so close. Piecing the quote together with what we know about pumpkin pie spice and how it was used, I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. The skeptic in me thinks this can't possibly be true, but the researcher in me actually feels fairly confident in saying this: it sure looks like Tori Amos created the first known pumpkin spice latte.

another way to make games faster is to not fire over half the game industry in a quest to make number go up

Jason Schreier @jasonschreier.bsky.social · 5d

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
