I agree for the most part

It’s just I wish indie could somehow be a developer that also receives enough money during the making of a game. Because passion is often not enough, and it doesn’t seem like that’s impossible because there’s no money to give ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t know if what I said makes sense 😅

I wish you were right, but it may be so that things have changed quite a bit in forty years since Nintendo happened. Indie games of huge quality and popularity still happen, but it looks like they take a lot more time and effort

Anarchy is a good description, yeah, discovering things on itchio is not easy, and I usually only come by external recommendations to specific projects

Getting their screen in front and collecting all the data they possibly can reach

I thought of getting a jailbroken Quest only to find that this is no longer possible to be done, so no Quest for me then

Michael Douse, Larian’s publishing director, called Steam “a democratic platform.”

“There’s like two of those, I think,” he said. “Steam, and the Switch, too, is quite a democratic platform. If your game is really, really good, you have a very good chance that people on Steam will see it. You have to make an effort, it has to be good, it’s not that simple, but it’s so much better than, for example, having to campaign for your game with somebody else for like 12 months to get their store team to care about it.”

I wonder if GoG and itchio are not democratic, don’t provide a good enough discoverability, not aligned enough with corporate values, or something else.

Both seem to be quite good and democratic for me as a client 🤔

In the long run everything might be false, even your own memory changes over time and may be affected by external forces.

So, maybe there will be no way to tell the truth except when experiencing it firsthand, and we will once again live like ancient Greeks, pondering about things.

To be fair, I hope that science and critical thinking might help to distinguish what is true or not, but that would only apply to abstract things, as all the concrete things might be fabricated

Seems legit 🤔

Not trying to become an expert in everything was the most important decision I made so far, I think

I half agree about fun, think it depends on how often clients want some weird shit done yesterday, it becomes a nightmare if it happens too often :(

The biggest scam about programmers is they barely program

He’s got a point, though, the further you go, the less time you spend inputting code. Although some people prefer to continue going head first and then remaking everything.

I get too invested in collecting things, so grind or paying to complete your collection are the reddest of red flags for me.

That includes gacha, of course, which this game may not be, afaik

As far as I know, it’s usually not so in gaming and in software in general. But since software is easier to abandon when you feel like it (I know buildings, too, sometimes stand incomplete for decades) so it is easier to suddenly close the project and say goodbye to everyone working on that project.

On a tangential note, I doubt that the license you include will have any influence on people doing scraping for commercial AI :(

Also, I am not sure what is the default licence the content on forums/lemmy is posted under and if that can be changed by including an overriding licence 🤔

Well, image models are getting better at producing text, just sayin’

I second the question but from the looks of a web UI maybe the subtitle is what appears under the link?

Only a loading screen, judging by the small size

At least they didn’t choose 100k or 10k

/s partially

The solution to both bullshit jobs and no life could have been to downscale work time not amount of people. If 20% of people is enough to do the job, maybe it’s better to keep everyone but let them work only 20% of time?

That won’t pass the shareholders’ vote, of course, because optimization must only mean “money optimization”

That’s what I’m saying and people call me radicalised for that 😅

Not only here, I’d say
