he wishes he had a dragon so he could attack Moscow

Did he even read his own books? My takeaway from them was definitely not "all of our problems can be solved by an application of incredible violence".

"Regardless" because regardless of whether or not incels are lying about YD, he's still a person who made a game that prominently features taking upskirt shots of high school girls and he doesn't deserve sympathy. Like, okay, you proved that the speculation about his code quality was baseless, I accept that, but fuck him and his incel ass game.

I can't tell if you're being ironic or not, but regardless of YD's code quality he's a shit individual.

i think it's believable as the kind of mistake a total amateur would make. Like how the game's code was almost entirely made out of if-then statements, causing it to run really slowly because it would check every single condition every single frame.

Half your age plus seven, a nineteen year old is an adult and they can make their own decisions. As long as the 26 year old isn't their boss or some other category with power over the 19 year old it's fine.

Cor people think every road should be the autobahn, regardless of its purpose or what's next to it.

Sony tried to market the PS3 as a multimedia entertainment hub - in hindsight it was an idea ahead of its time, since that's what basically all Smart TVs are now - but the $700 price tag made it unattainable during the critical first year of sales.

it also launched with "install other OS" as a feature, which they removed later via an update.

and how Cyberpunk Edgerunners subverts it

That show does literally every single thing he complains about, he just gives it a pass because it's got above-average production quality and writing.

That's how you can tell these clowns aren't doing any actual media analysis, it's all just surface level reactionary gibberish.

:sicko-yes: me rooting for the advertising bubble to pop and take down all of the largest tech companies with it

:sicko-no: me realizing that the company that will best survive that burst and then expand to fill the power vacuum is Amazon

Original writer comes back for Disco Elysium: New Vredefort, the game is an FPS where everyone constantly comments on how strange it is that you hold your gun right under your cheek all the time and the only quest that actually involves shooting is a sidequest where you shoot some targets with a military veteran in order to befriend them and learn some important backstory that relates back to the main plot.

The gun is a smoothbore muzzleloader, with authentic accuracy and reloading, because of course breech loaders and rifled barrels are illegal.

I'm hoping we get an Obsidian situation where the creatives behind DE come together with a new IP (then get broken up, and come together again, then get broken up, and come together again to make a spinoff to an old game that recaptures some of the lost magic... etc). It won't be set in the Elysium universe which is tragic but I'm sure they have a bunch of cool ideas that they didn't get to implement in DE that we'll see in the future.
