Glad you had that last paragraph, because inflationary justifications are just hand waving when people’s income isn’t keeping pace. It’s not based in reality.

There’s a sort of… Sheen, to a lot AI images. Obviously you can prompt this away if you know what you’re doing, but its developing a bit of a look to my eye when people don’t do that.
- Comment on Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement. 2 months ago:
It’s a symbol of wealth. They want you to know the brand because it tells others they have the means to afford it.
I totally agree with you, though. It’s tacky.

You’re not wrong, but I’d still encourage everyone to celebrate the small victories. If we wait for perfection it may never come.

- Comment on [Opinion] Why do so many cozy games suck? 3 months ago:
Well, I’m making one so i guess i can’t say they suck. I do feel like a lot of them aren’t great games, though. As in, they create a good vibe but they often lack solid gameplay. I think the writing in some I’ve played leans far too much into awkward and insecure characterizations too, and that gets tiring for me quickly. I’m trying to avoid those pitfalls in mine.

- Comment on Wandersong, a game about not doing harm 3 months ago:
You might already know about this, but she recently released a 3d remake of Adventure, sometimes considered the first adventure game ever. The remake is called Colossal Cave. I bring it up because the Game Grumps played some of it while Roberta talked with them on air! It’s not a documentary, but there are tons of interesting things she talks about throughout. Look it up on YouTube if you’re interested. 🙂

- Comment on Crypto bros have discovered idle games, and the results are incredibly boring 3 months ago:
Pixel Tap, another popular tap game, outright prevents you from progressing past level three unless you invite at least one friend - and by the time the airdrop rolled around, level three wasn’t enough to be eligible for any tokens. But for every friend you did invite, you got 5% of the in-game currency they earned, and 1% of anything players they invited made, essentially creating something indicative of a virtual pyramid scheme, or MLM (multi-level marketing), that eventually paid out crypto tokens to those at the top. The Pixel Tap crypto reached a high of $0.0977 shortly after it launched, but at time of writing is now worth $0.006405, less than a tenth of that peak.
Virtual pyramid schemes for monopoly money, lovely.
