I can see your point. Other have sad that it should follow the horsearmor pattern. Which would make it a guess like “I wonder if I can use this animal part like the other animal parts which fill the same role.”

That way you could formulate an educated guess and be happy when it turns out right.

If I remember correctly in the first drafts they used the brain for computational power but went for the battery idea because it was, for a then tech illiterate audience, easier to understand.

It means doing the stupid shit I am known for and aware that I should change that.

I am still doing the same bullshit = I am still on my bullshit.

How is it bad that you have to figure something out in a game?

Thought a glitch is when a graphical interface bugs with artifacts and such.

I don’t forgive you.

Tell him. If it comes from the good kid he must think there is some truth to it.

You learn by using it.

Which means you want to do something on Linux. You don’t know how to do it, then you ask or search for the answer and then you know.

Just be patient and it will come naturally.

I agree with you that they most likely needed the money to do what they wanted to do at that scale.

But I think my point still stands. Because it is a deal with the devil in the most literal sense that is possible. You get to your goal faster, easier or at all but in the end you have to ask yourself if the price you paid for that was worth it when the devil comes collecting. That is the moral of the fictional Storys, isn’t it?

But to add to this. I think we, as consumers, aren’t completely innocent either. Buying only the best looking, 1000 hours, other buzzword games. This undeniably sends a message to indie devs which can lead to people making self harming decisions.

One could argue that we got groomed to want that. And I do. All those blockbuster-games that were made under gruesome conditions are unsustainable. But we didn’t knew that. We thought that they were the new normal.

But now we know better. This is just normal if you walk over corpses to get to your goal. And if we want developers that value our time and mental health, then we should value developers time and mental health in return.

Which means showing them that we will buy games that are not those 10 million dollar productions. And that we will measure the quality of the game compared to the resources that went into that particular game and not compared to a game that had an unholy amount of resources to burn through.

In the end we need to find a way to cut out all the rich people who came into the gaming industry as it broke into mainstream, who are throwing their weight/money around and bully everybody into submission.

And that needs strength of character. It means not buying the new shiny thing that we have seen an add for the hundredth time today, no matter how much we want that. It means not taking that deal which will make that problem go away quicker.

If gaming has taught us anything, it is how to prevail against overwhelming forces. That it takes compassion, companionship, a bit of anger and sacrifices.

If we haven’t learned that, why the fuck are we even playing.

The lesson we learn here is that you don’t take money from the mob.

Don’t go public with youre company.

Don’t get involved with the devil.

Sounds reasonable.

Bass = Low

Mid = mid

Treble = high

That is not how it works. You have to proof your claim. If you want to be taken serious at least.

I don’t believe doing things over public WiFi is that secure as traffic can be logged etc.

It has some strong SovCit vibes.

We all do.

Love that one too. What do you (or anybody with a theory or the answer) think is the meaning of the ending?

First rule is, I can’t talk about it. Second rule is, I can’t talk about it.

I have lost count of how many times I watched that movie. So many great details.

And I think most people take away the wrong message. It is critic and not encouragement.

I think it was stated that it was jetbrains mono in the first thread.

Addiction.
