What are you doing with your midlife existential crisis? No wrong answers. Just trying to see something, as the kids say.

I’m happy to have Labor Day twice but let’s remember why en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day

US capitalists executed the leaders of the May 1 1886 strike for an 8 hr work day. In 1889 socialists declared May 1 Int'l Workers Day to honor them, creating a beloved holiday worldwide, but not in the US, where Labor Day was moved to September to erase workers' struggle from the public mind.

does Sony not get that being hard on this while announcing the end of physical means "you don't own anything on our platform"? dont they see that people have been tired of streaming services for years? because if $20 a month for access to everything is too much, $80 for one thing isn't happening

Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy. It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...

we uninstalled Tokon like, 2 days ago things we like in fighting games: movement, zoning, blocking, mix things we don't like like in fighting games: strong universal mechanics, doing blockstrings, stage gimmicks, mechanics that punish you for blocking (guard break, RISC) Tokon just isn't it

🐺 at an amusement park i really don't want to be at. it was free entry, but this week has been exhausting and i don't feel like going on anything

Oh come ON www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

"Milo got arrested!" "That's good!" "By an unaccountable secret police force" "That's bad" "He supported them, though, so there's delicious irony at play." "That's good!" "But they came for him because fascist power has reached a point where petty infighting can lead to arrests" "That's bad"

💥let's try a little world replacement exercise when a new live service game dies, don't say "rip bozo, the devs killed the game, they deserved it" instead try saying "the insatiable gaping maw of corporate overlords killed a project with promise before it could shine" think y'all could do that?

This is what the growth of surveillance is going to bring. Not safety from crime, but new, non-criminal acts redefined as criminal so as to give the police an excuse to exercise power. local12.com/news/offbeat...

Police request public's help to find suspect who picked up $30 off ground in Walmart

A police department took to social media and asked the public to help them identify a suspect who found $30 on the ground in Walmart.

Even when you've made a successful game, devs are constantly barraged by the same online people claiming they know how their game should be made. There absolutely is no winning when trying to appease backseat developers. The same devs can be laid off at a moment's notice too.

even good intentions ostracize me

🐺 considered going to furswap today, but I'm broke and my mom is visiting next week, so I have more important shit to do. have fun y'all

random thought we need to get out of our head to sleep our system name, Chomps. Jinx named us, but it's based off of a scene from Isle of Dogs. Yuki started using "I bite" as shorthand for when it lashes out during BPD episodes. we all kinda do that. so, "we bite." youtu.be/sZLayxC_HOQ

annoyed that we're not the kind of player that can swap between games we've played before. we really need to practice something nonstop to stay fresh. makes it hard to interact with the FGC, where there's this message of "dabble with everything, enjoy all of fighting games!" nope. 1 game limit

Seeing takes like this without context is wild ass work. 1.) 2XKO failed because of Riot. They didn’t know how to foster a good fighting game, they just wanted another Free2Premium track to prey upon players. 2.) Fatal Fury failed because Saudi blood money put a rapist in the launch roster.

NoahFuel_Gaming@noahfuelgaming.bsky.social · 3w ago

Major failures like 2XKO and Fatal Fury will basically drive away nearly all new investment for a AAA scale title. Not to mention the lackluster staying power for things like Avatar Legends and Invincible VS basically mean the indie/ AA market is also somewhat cooked.

THIS IS A THERIAN STOP POINT stretch your tail flex your claws shake your coat if you have one that's better ✨️🐾

💥staying off social media. a lot of really mean-spirited "toldja so" posts going around and i don't wanna hear it

points at sign: THE GAMES INDUSTRY’S CUSTOMER IS THE STOCK MARKET, NOT THE GAMER Live service games are seen as ‘worth the risk’ because when one blows up (Roblox, Fortnite, GTA Online) it makes so much money that it covers all previous failures and more. What gamers say is irrelevant to this.

Zack@zman990.bsky.social · 3w ago

@alanahpearce.bsky.social As someone who knows more about the gaming industry, do the higher ups just don’t listen anymore or do they just have selective hearing? Do we need to throw physical money at them and tell them “we want just a single player game, no multiplayer.”

everyone got really mad at that one woman on twitter who said that the impulse to make everything “cozy” was fascist but she was right
