Watching him suck his own dick on that shitty indie documentary low key ruined my opinion of him.. but do you disagree with the quote rusty posted?jcd wrote: ↑ January 23rd, 2024, 19:12The Braid guy is a drooling retard whose opinions are universally wrong! Who also made a cool game.
Cause he's right you know.
You'll know if he's right in a few years. Free money during 2020-2021 caused a lot of companies to aggressively overhire and what happened later was just a correction and regression toward the mean. If anything videogames are gaining steam because shit like fortnite has proven that there's a viable business model there with repeatable, predictable subscription income if you know how to play the game. It's almost an entirely different market than the games typical codexers would play. Different meaning of "videogame" and different demographics. They don't compete with what you think of as games. Blow likes to saturate his posts with jargon and complain a lot because he thinks that makes him sound smart, and there's a lot of people out there for whom bitter and jaded = smart. Follower/consumer mindset.Shillitron wrote: ↑ January 24th, 2024, 03:19Watching him suck his own dick on that shitty indie documentary low key ruined my opinion of him.. but do you disagree with the quote rusty posted?jcd wrote: ↑ January 23rd, 2024, 19:12The Braid guy is a drooling retard whose opinions are universally wrong!

Comparing how fortnite operates and generates revenue to other vidja is like comparing Christianity to Scientology. Yes, it's uneniable the second managed some economic success, it obtained those via brainwashing and lack of morals.
Have you ever spent 2 minutes talking with your average Fortnite kid? I do. Because my work consists in having to deal with kids of that age. You can recognize a minecraft kid from a fortnite kid 10 miles away, most of the times.
The only thing I agree with them is they are the only ones in their generation to notice, on average, how ugly the models have become in other games, especially wymminz. Eg, currently Fortnite kids spend a good chunk of their in-game banter making fun of suicide squad.

People like this don’t realize the more they tantrum and out themselves the more they get shunned and ignored by worthwhile individuals. The only interaction they can even get after a certain point is being mocked or from other shame filled individuals.Breathe wrote: ↑ January 24th, 2024, 14:42And yet every time you post it's just to bring more negativity.jcd wrote: ↑ January 24th, 2024, 14:26LITERALLY MINDBROKEN OBSESSED AND FUMINGrusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ January 24th, 2024, 10:08this is what the forum looks like with rustyvision
They turn their reality into hell of their own making.
Rarely do you pwn somebody so hard they follow you from thread to thread just to say how butthurt they are, but I managed it once again. The legend of jcd lives on.

First we need to define what a Minecraft kid is. A Minecraft kid has been introduced to the game by an older relative, either a sibling or a father that recognizes the inherent creativity the medium offers to a little child. Minecraft is the perfect quasi-lego for families that cannot afford toys. Dads that want to spend some time with their kids doing something creative usually choose minecraft, in our day and age. This to distinguish them from all those kids that fall into the pit of online communities and such, because in that case the game is usually secondary and the kid is probably suffering from loleliness and seeking peers and companionship.gerey wrote: ↑ January 24th, 2024, 17:11I am morbidly fascinated by the subject.

As for the actual differences. Fortnite trains them to be consumers and follow trends. Ofc it compares the trends and standards it sets with those of other products because they derive economic advantages from doing so but the kids know little about the underlying culture war, they just think one game looks better than the other. Most of the time such kids also think the 'skills' they learned in game can be easily translated into real-life activities. Lmao.
Minecraft is a creative endeavour, much more than a game. The great majority of those that play it, do so with an outdated and pirated copy. They care little about the game tbh, most never leave creative mode, one could argue they aren't even playing vidja. As an educator tho, the effect it has on their brain is much more interesting. Eg, consequences of your actions. A Minecraft kid is usually bound to understand the concept of something you perform today having an effect days or weeks later, simply because he or she had probably already had to tear down some artistic creation because of a simple mistake made at the beginning of their endeavours. Any activity that keeps a kid interested on the same practical goal or objective for multiple days is good from a purely propedeutic perspective and the wet dream of a number of pedagogical doctrines. Again, it's more or less Lego, without the hefty price tag. No physical manipulation of the pieces is a bummer but 85% of the activity is in the brain anyway.

Damn... all this time I thought that the shrieking autistic children playing Minecraft at McDonald's on tablets were fluoridated test tube retards, but now I know they were just learning consequences for their actions. This really is fascinating from a propedeutic perspective.Ratcatcher wrote: ↑ January 24th, 2024, 17:35First we need to define what a Minecraft kid is.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
Microsoft announced 1900 dev layoffs. To make the process more exciting, they haven't told people who is laid off yet.
Also, Blizzard's survival game is cancelled. Probably to save face versus Palworld sales.

Summary for those who don't wanna watch an old grandma talk like a zoomer:
"10's of thousands of journalists have been laid off in the past year"
LA Times lays off 15% of workforce
Time Magazine lay offs
Buzzfeed News Gone.
Sports Illustrated Gone.
All major news networks have laid off a significant work force or intend to.
GQ / Vogue / Vanity Fair all on strike because of pending layoffs.
ALL IN AN ELECTION YEAR!!! Oh Noes!!

She closes her argument by saying:
"I don't think people know how bad the world would be - without journalists."

Turning Blizzard, Activision and Bethesda into IP farms would only be an improvement at this point. Fire everybody there, and just feel the peace and calm wash over every gaymer.

Good to know the day of the brick is finally upon us. So satisfying.
Dopamine release stimulator for near-normie morons.
If these types didn't have games, they'd be watching sports, not doing something we all would.
Kotaku also seems quite excited about the recent layoffs.

None of these people offer value in a open market and with all the DEI & ESG dollars drying up.. the in-fighting over the last few scraps has begun.
