Pound-seconds, I believe. Good ol’ LM giving imperial numbers to NASA.

Depends, building good games that establish goodwill and a strong franchise will make you more money in the end than the quick pump and dump mobile game candy crush bullshit.

The difference is that the mobile game model can exist perpetually in a state of pump and dump because the platform of mobile is essentially purpose built to be a time waster. Consoles and PC games are intended to be an activity in themselves instead of a way to take a smoke break, the ramifications of attempting to convert the standard videogame model to the pump and dump model has been successful depending on your definition.

Sure we’ve established that whales exist in every market and some people will buy every MTX they can even if it’s CoD or whatever, but we’ve also seen people who used to spend a considerable amount of money on games stop doing so, because the market doesn’t cater to their preferences. That’s the point Larian is making, you can create a true fan base with their model, you can only create addicts with the pump and dump model.

Sounds like narcissistic tendencies, when you stop feeding them they come back.

Had an ex like this too, the moment I called her bluff and said I was going to grab boxes to move out she changed her tune since the power dynamic shifted. Then she wrapped the conversation around how we should try again and it wasn’t that big of a deal what I’d done, etc.

Most of them just don’t want to admit anything they’ve ever said was wrong so the perspective changes and gaslighting starts to creep in.

How much of the revenue is actually going to Rowling for the product?

Plus they think the stupidest shit matters.

Earlier I saw people complaining about the Hogwarts game because of JK Rowling. Yeah, don’t play the videogame based on the book series that was written by a transphobe. Cause somehow that means the videogame and it’s developers are all transphobic too?

Someone should tell them transphobic people breathe oxygen, maybe they’ll suffocate themselves as activism.

Sure are a lot of homeless people not in prison for what you’re claiming.

Even being on Linux isn’t enough for Linux users, now. Gotta have every piece of software they approve of and none of the ones they don’t. On top of it you have to use it for the same reasons, too.

Fucking Christ, you guys make me want to never mention that I use Linux.

This is pretty good satire.

Konsi is best goblin for sure.

Calm down MacOS hasn’t done shit to make it better. They decide what you do and don’t get, daddy apple already made the decision and you have to deal with it.

“We did the thinking for you, and you’ll like it.” Might as well be their slogan.

Looks like they’re unloaded with the receivers locked back, no different than looking down the barrel while cleaning it.

RAM is the cheapest upgrade possible, unless you’re trying to run a game on 8GB in 2023 idk why you’d be that concerned with RAM usage.

It has nothing to do with social fear, every fucking call on my personal and work phone is a scam.

Get that shit under control and then maybe I’ll answer my cell phone once in awhile lol

Though if I was really lost I think I’d be answering every call tbh.
