PirateSoftware used to pop up in my feed all the time, and I’d roll my eyes every time he whiteboarded the most basic dev concepts like they were groundbreaking insights. The tech industry is full of these self-proclaimed gurus who oversell fundamentals and act like they’re reinventing the wheel. I’m glad people are finally catching on to him.

Every Supergiant game TBH

They like a very particular kind of Jewish person the same way they like a very particular kind of Christian. That being hardcore conservatives who use religious doctrine as a cover for bigoted dog whistling and nothing more.

They’re just stripping copper from the walls.

“Yeah sorry the AC doesn’t work, I need to upgrade my thermostat.” “Oh yeah sorry the lights don’t work, I forgot to update the light switch.” “Oh right I forgot to mention the toilet doesn’t work, my subscription ran out.”

Technology really was a mistake.

If Americans had a concept of the world beyond their borders front lawn they’d realise that.

Can anyone comment on the inventory management in this game? I really dig the aesthetics and have seen the positive reviews, but I always seem to struggle with this genre. It starts out being fun until I need to scan through 10 chests to craft every little thing.

Meta and Sony scrambling to monopolize it before the technology even got out of the womb certainly didn’t help.

This worked a few years ago, but half of reddit is just bots and guerilla marketers now :(

Valve has shown pretty good stewardship over their position so far, but I can’t help roll my eyes every time someone proudly states that they’ll only buy a game if it’s on steam.

Sorry gamers, but not even your wholesome 100 Gaben steam sales are immune to enshittification. Sooner or later the company’s ownership will fall into new hands, and then you’ll wonder if tying your entire digital library to steam was maybe not the best idea in the world.

My heart goes out to the few engineers left who will now be babysitting contractors full-time.

Yep, it’s exactly what people said would happen after 2077 came out. In about a year or two we’re gonna start seeing articles like “Henry Cavill saw an early preview of the Witcher 4 and said it was AMAZING!!!” and people are gonna eat that shit up.

I can’t stand people who go “the thing I dislike is actually VERY problematic!!” Plagiarism and A.I. art theft are genuine issues that people should take seriously, and nerds like this trying to piggyback on the conversation to push their own agenda does nothing but cheapen the actual causes they’re pretending to care about.

Really stoked to see the amount of support this game is getting! I do hope they up the difficulty a fair bit for this expansion though. I was feeling pretty much invincible after a few ship upgrades in the main game.
