I saw Godot 5 kick a baby. It is of vital importance, from a national security perspective, that all major world governments move to subsidise its development.

The way he says ‘Canada wins?’ is exactly the reason why Canada abso-fuckin-lutely wins. Even the people up here who don’t necessarily agree that Canada should exist as a nation will send that arrogant fucknoodle so far back up into the appalachians he’ll forget he ever knew how to read.

This is the most cursed Gamescom. First I didn’t have a booth and now evidently I am missing a train to and from the hotel.

I am having a meeting with the office at the Canadian consulate in Germany who are handling Gamescom to discuss the situation. They are reaching out to the Gamescom team and find out what their knowledge is. If it is just a grift I am going to talk to the trade office in Poland about a claim.

Let me put it to you this way: If you refuse to pay more than 10 or 15 bucks for an indie game, there aren't going to be indie games for very long. Just keep that in mind next time you're browsing Steam.

Agreed. It’s perplexing when balance sheet decisions so obviously become product and marketing strategy. Yeah you probably lose money making physical media, but perhaps you gain new players??? Who decided it was better to shrink the addressable audience?

Also “we use a chatbot for the best, most hilarious and joyous part of game development because talking with other people who love making video games about the best way to do our jobs is a waste of time.” Is a real tell. What isn’t a waste of cycles in this interpretation of the task at hand?

What a lie!! ‘If it looks good, we’ll make it for real’ - that’s exactly like me pretending I am going to replace the duct tape holding the front bumper on my car with a real repair. No, once it’s there - it’s not leaving. The fucking self-delusion.
