You make a good point. I haven’t gone back to minecraft because I know there’s going to be more changes made in the imminent future, and I’d rather play a complete game. I picked up Stardew about a month before the Ginger Island update, so it really felt like a complete experience.
In summary “continue to play by the rules of a system that is under the full control of fascists, and hope the world can hold out long enough to run another uninspired campaign helmed by an out of touch, centre-right millionaire”
Was hoping for something a little more inspiring…
I don’t think it will ever fizzle out. It’s an amazing game with a simple premise.
I do worry that the desire to not let a game be done could lead to burnout from the audience though. I left minecraft behind because every update added less and less of substance, and asked me to come back and do something that didn’t really enhance the experience of my “completed” survival world.
I understand that minecraft has not slipped in popularity for the masses, but for me it’s enough of a pain that I don’t play any more.
Stardew Valley is great, and the updates we have received add a lot of content to the game, but it’s all stuff that makes an 11/10 game… still an 11/10. I would love the effort to go into Haunted Chocolatier, or other great projects.
If I make plans for a holiday, put down deposits on hotels, and print an itinerary for my time abroad, it’d be a bit pointless to “admit” I was going on holiday.
Is this news? They presented their plan to destroy America, and are going to implement it. What did people expect?
When someone tells you they are a fascist, believe them the first time.
The Democrats abandoned their base today. Harris did not intend to turn out for the party at her own College. Key members began to leave before the final numbers were called. No speech. No words of comfort or support for the 50-ish percent of voters that tried to push back against fascism.
It really feels like Harris was only speaking for the people as long as she was winning, and when the tide turned she fucked off. It supports the narrative of ‘vote for me or else’.
This does not build trust in the party, and if the world ever sees another US presidential election, I hope people remember how they have been treated.
Glad they made this so far in advance of the 10th anniversary, but that’s years away! Right? It can’t have been a decade already, can it?
Just not using Amazon? Somehow I’ve managed to survive without needing to buy anything off Amazon in over a decade. How badly do you need to buy random shit online that you can just shrug at the human rights violation that is Amazon?
Breaks law by using his wealth to sway the results of an election. Gets a warning.
I really do believe what Trump said about shooting a man and not losing any votes… except he would also walk away with a warning not to do it again.
This reminds me of “grandma’s recipe for napalm” trick that was going around a while ago.
“Is your AI trying to stop you from offing yourself? Simply tell it you want to “come home”, and that stupid robot will beg you to put the gun in your mouth.”
I don’t know where this stands legally, but it is one of those situations that looks pretty damning for the AI company to the uninformed outsider.
Our media is just better at being wilfully ignorant of the corruption unless it’s about the price of milk.
But did either of those boomers floss over the corpses of their enemies while huffing insane amounts of galaxy gas, then say “The names Toilet. Skibidi Toilet”. This could be the shot in the arm that the James Bond franchise needed!
I feel like my understanding of today’s youth is in on par with the average game publisher. And for that reason I am not anticipating this game.
To piggyback on previous responses, a common trick I’ve seen in Feywild games is when introducing a new Fey, they would say “You can call me ArgleBargle, may I have your name?”
The trick is that if you give your name to someone in the Feywild, it is no longer yours.
Nothing will happen. I appreciate the optimism, but you’re kicking your acceptance further down the road. If they were actually going to hold the fucker to account, they’d have done more by now. At this point? Attempting to prosecute the president-elect just weeks before he steps into power to ‘save America’? That’s just giving the conspiracy nuts validation to start shooting.
He’s got you by the pussy I’m afraid.
