Maybe it’s cause I’m a dad now but this really resonates with me.

He has to be aware how niche his passion is, but he does it anyway in defiance.

Saber interactive at least are an experienced developer with real games under their belt.

Jusant is next on the list after Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Hell yeah. Been hanging out for getting this one.

Because budget alone doesn’t make a good game. It’s a lack of creative vision and churning out safe bets that mean people just aren’t excited anymore.

Teams of thousands working on a game designed by committee means no single group really has a vision of the creative vision of the project.

I get it that the marketing budget is important, they need big flashy games to justify the marketing budget required to get cut-through.

Ultimately I think it’s the case that these dev teams are too large, and aren’t making true art anymore, because true art is risky.

Small studios are the ones making art, and some of them are getting cut through into the mainstream. This is where good games exist now.

Retro Game Corps is the targeted channel in this video. He doesn’t focus on piracy of games at all. Mostly he does reviews of hardware and has some high effort videos.

How? There is just too many people, too few houses here in Australia. Not enough materials to build them or tradespeople.

Ah okay, I’m not sure then.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Was that updating with “zypper dup”? I’ve heard going through discover or zypper update isn’t the recommended way strictly speaking, so its worth mentioning.

He’s on the better side of tech reviewers IMO. I think sometimes he’s more focussed on describing what sets a product apart in the market, rather than judging whether that niche is worth filling or not.

Definitely doesn’t feel scammy/overly ad driven.

Opensuse tumbleweed. The packages go through a testing process unlike Fedora AFAIK.

I think we’re almost there. Probably slightly bulkier fashion needs to be normalised to make this acceptable, but the potential applications of AR are actually cool. Meta is a privacy nightmare, but they are pushing R&D in the VR space and I think its at least notable. I don’t like trusting any megacorp with my data but its going to be a big company that makes commercial AR a reality.

The brown MilSim apocalypse was a bad time.

Ultimately, these cozy games are so often Indies with a limited scope and budget. The fact that this sort of genre has found the following is a good thing for gaming and Indie devs.

Of course once we reach market saturation and people are fed up with them, they won’t sell as well and new twists on the genre will have to be developed in order to stand out. This is a good thing for gaming and indie devs again.

He’s not a good 2D chess player unfortunately.

Maybe he’s playing 5D chess and is secretly making Conservatives want EVs.

I don’t necessarily disagree, but journalists have been printing articles that the downfall of China is right around the corner since the 90’s. Maybe I’m extrapolating your statement a little far though.

Linux, but I keep windows on the other drive just in case I need a windows only app. Rarely happens except for VR.

Not the PS1 era? Crash Bandicoot was one of the best games on the system when it came out.
