And be in the company of some of the most obnoxious people alive? Thanks, I'm good.

As a literate Black person in America, that sounds like my average day-to-day dealing with other Americans. So I'd rather continue what I know than have my face chomped on by demons or whatever the fuck is supposed to happen back on Earth.

As a literate Black American, my quotidian socio-communicational interface with the macro-populace of these so-called United States of America and its derivatives already constitutes a continuous symposium of cognitive discombobulation and bureaucratic constipation. Consequently, I shall perpetuate the familiar operational modality rather than bequeath my craniofacial real estate to the mandibular mastications of infernal entities, or whatever apocalyptic razzmatazz is purportedly transpiring back on terrestrial Earth.

I guess the cancellations were plentiful. Should have never been taken off air to begin with.

Again these people are dumb as shit. I'm totally sure Disney poured over the numbers from Wednesday to the talks today, panicked, and put Jimmy back on the air.

No wonder these retards don't want autism to be cured because then they would have more accountability for their dumb shit.

All of this fervor around Silksong's release date seems to speak to much deeper economic issues with the act of trying to make a game for profit.

The combination of the exponential increase in aspiring developers year over year due to tools that lower the barrier for entry and sustained public interest, the relatively long production times, the costs of either gaining the specialized knowledge to make a good game or hiring people with that knowledge (seriously, where the fuck do you get the money from as an indie to get a team?) the overhead and licensing fees, etc. Like, I would imagine that most games that are attempted don't even see development into a deliverable product, and even then most of the ones that do outright fail to make back enough revenue to justify the endeavor, if they make anything at all.

On top of this, game development exists within a wider socioeconomic framework where you need to have a constant stream of income to, you know, live. Not only do you need this, but you need to contend with the fact that the cost of those necessities is out of control from larger political and class forces, necessitating either excessively high initial startup costs most people can't reasonably afford (so you start seeing a flood of content in certain genres, in turn increasing competition) or a way to work on something for 7-15 years by yourself while trying to survive and just praying it works out which, you know, not a great plan.

Social benefits are being stripped. Rights are being stripped. Our environment and infrastructure are being fucked over. All of this and more is affecting not just devs' opportunities for success but the gaming audience's ability to spend time on the hobby at all as wallets get squeezed, work hours get longer, and time becomes and even more precious commodity. Hell, how much potential play time is taken up by doomscrolling alone? TikTok's existence alone probably has an effect on the potential time that exists to be captured by any one game, in turn increasing competition even more.

Like I dunno guys. Seems to me that at the root of this all is the contradiction between too many people wanting to delve into what is ultimately an expensive-ass art form while living within an even more expensive-ass and precarious world, where fundamentally there is not enough guaranteed revenue for it to be worth most people even trying. We've seen it for years and years now. Studios big and small are closing or getting consolidated left and right. It's a bloodbath.

Talking about Team Cherry's release date tactics is surface level. This industry, at the moment, just doesn't feel sustainable for most people under current conditions. And I'm not sure where you begin to fix that beyond fixing the underlying economic issues first.

The fact that 4 people can work on a video game for 7 years, sell it for $20, and still make out like bandits means...the industry isn't sustainable.  Uh ok.  And what's with the way she writes?  She can't convey a simple point without a bunch of unnecessary words.   Does she think it makes her a good writer if she avoids articulating a point in the simplest way possible?

Someone with an account should post this in response to Nep's next rant.

Consequences of erudite vernacular utilized irrespective of necessity: problems with using long words needlessly

Interesting. 

I've put delicate glass on the bottom rack for years!

Nepenthe about come along and explain black people put glass on the bottom because of systemic racism. It's just like washing your meat.

Better yet, she'll explain why it's best to wash your meat in the bottom rack!!

Anyways the real reason that Disney changed their mind is because zeovgm threatened to stop defending them everywhere at all costs.

Jeff Marvel cannot be denied.

I bet you that the Trump cronies are going to also bitch and moan about it regardless.  

They were pretty willing to take the credit for it, in their infinite wisdom.

[Boredfrom]

Pretty much confirmed everything I felt from the trailers. It might be a fun game on its own merits for many, but it isn't a Silent Hill game and has little of what made those original games so special. Easy pass for me.

Same.
Classic example of a publisher having no faith in the selling power of a new IP and literally slapping the name of a well known IP onto it. Oh well, at least we're getting the Silent Hill 1 remake so there's hope the franchise won't just die again.

I mean, by the sound of it, project WAS a Japanese Silent Hill since the beginning. Even the main writer was surprised that it was a Japanese Silent Hill when they hired him (he was willing to write a western based one).

I like the idea and the effort even if the end result is FatalFrameSirenXHigurashi.

I bet this will be his most watched episode ever. Everyone wants to know what is on the mind on this Great Thought Leader.

I can, however, save everyone the time of the Era reaction.

It sounds more likely that they will ignore it or doing a jab that will fly over everyone heads.

There was literally nothing transphobic in what Embiid wrote, at all.

Just admit that “pushing back against whatever the current Era discord narrative is” is a bannable offence.

[BananaBlast]

Damn, so they finally got Embiid.



From what I've heard of him on thebire, he truly seemed to be one of the good ones. A based voice of reason, mayhaps.

Love how he even said "I know I ain't long for this place" like a week/month ago

He gave Nepnep no choice. She had to approve pulling the trigger. 

[Taco Bell Tower]

Embiid was the only one who was able to go toe to toe with NepNep without getting a ban until ClickyCal', despite posting fake news wasn't having it and got the Trans discord to hit that report button for transphobic.

How about: Making games costs a lot while living costs keep rising. So most people either can’t afford to start, or they work alone for years hoping it pays off.  It's tough.    "The wider socioeconomic framework"

I've come to the conclusion they do that shit on purpose. They purposefully put ban reasons that would make sane people go , even for those who follow their airtight rules, and it's all just to say "well this what we've concluded you to be, no butts, that's the end of you, court dismissed, eat my ass "
