LMAO, he’s got a good point though lol

I’m still not awake after waking up recently so I saw it right away lol

Of course, but they didn’t lower the prices after. Fucking awful evil companies.

That’s a good idea tbh. I should probably do that.

edit: It has been done, it is done uploading, it also includes levels I obtained elsewhere from other downloads, I won’t link it here tho.

Nope since it’s an intended feature.

Many years back, I manually dumped thousands of Mario Maker 1 levels and uploaded them to the Internet. It’s sad that the servers will be shutting down, and I knew this would happen, which is why I did it even though it took a long time manually downloading them one-by-one and then copying them off of my softmodded Wii U. Still though, it was worth it, knowing the game will live on to some extent even after the servers are shut down.

The first two fair enough, third one I wouldn’t classify it as that. You don’t have to be attracted to men to make content solo or with other women. Your next point is, just an opinion I guess, since people will have different things they find important in life. Your last two points are true regardless. Also, there are women who actually like this kind of work, and ultimately it’s up to them if they do it or not.

It’s nice to have a backup option in life or at least the possibility of one. There are many people (men and women) who are not in positions to have any possibility of a backup option. I generally try not to judge people, especially if they aren’t hurting anyone. Not that you are judging anyone, it’s just a general principle I have.

Don’t forget private games, it’s a win-win because customers can buy games they don’t want to show to their friends and Valve get more money because they get more people buying those embarrassing awesome games.

I mean you’re kind of not wrong lol

What the fuck that’s horrifying.

Modern hardware is wasted on modern devs. Can we send them back in time to learn how to optimize, and bring back the ones that knew how to properly utilize hardware?

I think a lot of the blame is erroneously placed on devs, or it’s used as a colloquialism. Anyone who has worked in a corporate environment as a developer knows that the developers are not the ones making the decisions. You really think that developers want to create a game that is bad, to have their name attached to something that is bad and to also know that they created something that is bad? No, developers want to make a good game, but time constraints and horrible management prioritizing the wrong things (mostly, microtransactions, monetizing the hell out of games, etc) results in bad games being created. Also, game development is more complex since games are more complex, hardware is more complex, and developers are expected to produce results in less time than ever before - it’s not exactly easy, either.

It’s an annoyance of mine and I’m sure you meant no harm by it, but as a developer (and as someone who has done game development on the side and knows a lot about the game development industry), it’s something that bothers me when people blame bad games solely on devs, and not on the management who made decisions which ended up with games in a bad state.

With that said, I agree with your sentiments about modern hardware not being able to take advantage of long-forgotten cool features like four-screen splitscreen, offline modes (mostly in online games), arcade modes, etc. I really wish these features were prioritized.

They found him dead, after they killed him.

Unless you’re getting huge raises every year you’re never going to get ahead, and if you’re getting nothing, you’re actually losing money.

Also if you’re getting raises below the cost of living increase (which most people are), you’re losing money. If you get laid off, which hundreds of thousands of tech workers are, you’re definitely losing money. It’s not a great time right now.

This is really stupid.

You’re basically telling people “just be rich” like it’s that simple.

People living paycheck-to-paycheck are not able to invest money because they don’t have excess income, they get to decide if they want to pay for rent or want to pay for food. Combine that with astonishing inflation rates and salary raises that don’t match cost of living increases or simply layoffs, and we have one fucked up situation.

This is a systemic problem. Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Billionaires are a societal problem.

edit: Oh, I see your comment isn’t directed at people living paycheck-to-paycheck, that’s a bit more reasonable then but I still think you’re missing the mark. It’s not as simple as “just increase your income” like you seem to be thinking it is.

The thing is, there’s hundreds, thousands, possibly millions of porn sites out there. There is no way any state is going to be able to block them all. Even if, by some miracle, they did manage to block them all - it won’t matter, people will still just use a VPN anyway.

Honestly, same here. Every time I notice a typo I have to point it out lol

I was today years old when I learned I have ADHD. Haha just kidding… unless?

I noticed it right away, does that mean I am the 10%?

Sometimes people go outside. Not me, I don’t, but others do.

I never thought I’d see the day when a respectable blue chip company like Boeing is publicly outed as ordering an assassination.

Why does this surprise you that a company, a large company, would order an assassination of someone? This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.
