the cloud services are probably fine, their willingness to actually use the resources for a game may not be.

I have no friends, take that microorganisms.

yeah I think it’s fair to argue there are bigger problems that steam.

who said steam forums are “the” problem?

for now. feels like lots of potential for enshittification though.

It doesn’t work in the reverse direction because it’s an issue of equity in role availability. we have a cultural bias for movies with white characters, especially historical movies, so white actors don’t need to be taking what few roles there are for racial minorities.

on the other hand i think it’s fine for racial minorities to be taking roles in a fictional film that would otherwise be 100% white people.

exactly, it’s well known the original scope was actually TOO big and they had to scale down.

easter eggs don’t make a game deep or replayable.

I think for something that’s clearly not meant to be very historically accurate race swapping is fine. If we always have strict racial rules then vaguely historical movies are always going to be contributing to role inequalities for non-white people.

I don’t think I’ve ever played a game more than 200 or 300 hours.

dunno about budget, I’m just taking in terms of the demand for these types of movies.

I have a feeling it’s because zany animated movies are an easier sell to kids.

well it’s a six inch display so presumably it’ll be a lot cheaper. maybe designed with an always-on display. And the UI optimized for home oriented stuff. could be interesting.

agreed. I’m just saying “simple” or “complex” has nothing to do with it.

you can have simple games without predatory monetization. that’s what OP is talking about.

great. now I want a sunbeam radiant control toaster.

also the air circulation is more intense in an air fryer, and it’s a smaller enclosed space which is easier to keep at a high temperature. both of these also help food cook more evenly.

it’s the same general idea but they don’t perform the same.

ES6 will be fine. Starfield was doomed from the beginning because of the silly space exploration structure.
