yeap, they rebuilt all that was “obliterated” or some other reason with no evidence presented

that makes sense

this hack is from last year (October)… not sure why it has resurfaced, I see no new info

Iran is run by an oppressive regime that kills their own people

Iran The USA is run by an oppressive regime that kills their own people… can you spot the difference?

Thank Jebus those 100 school girls were saved by Israel and Murica

yes, it’s incredible because not only it’s a round trip of the same money, it requires each participant in the chain to pull 3 miracles in perfect order…

I don’t use it… every time I’ve tried it seems more trouble than help

It’s like working with a suck up newbie that can’t learn

welfare state

It’s when the government pays wealthy billionaires bills so they do not incur in any risk in their “business ventures”

wait for the pop

you asked why that factoid was important… I tried to be funny by telling you that the girl one of these Paul idiots is dating is actually hot and OP brought it up because he is horny

she hot… dude be thirsty

Nintendo is a MASSIVE game company, indie game companies could never produce their games the way Nintendo does. What a confounding example you chose from a company that is notably hostile to hobbiests and indie developers.

When Nintendo came out with the wii, they were laughed out of the room by Sony and MS because their games were too simple and graphics lacking… it was a huge success, that is what I meant… plenty of small, indie even, video game studios have and can produce huge hits… more importantly, they do not need to make a kajillion dollars to break even which means their games are not akin to armed robbery

Large game companies can create games that would be impossible for smaller indie studios to make, large game studios can offer employment of a nature that smaller indie game companies simply can’t.

I am not refuting that… I am refuting your claim that not having AAA games means the video game golden age is over… AAA video games have been mostly pain in the last 7 years… we can have tons of fun with no AAA titles

You are saying “If Mercedes Benz collapses, cars are over”… I am saying “there are plenty of other car makers to keep the industry as a whole”

I love indie games, don’t try to take the high road of claiming you have made yourself more pure by only playing indie games as if that was a solution, they are different categories.

Never claimed any of that… simply said I have fun with them and won’t miss AAA games

Don’t conflate workplace culture with the basic reality of working at a riskier, smaller company vs. a larger established company with longer and more predictable product development cycles. You wanna start a family while working at a tiny company that could go POOF if only one or two things go wrong.

What AAA Studio are you thinking of? which one has NOT laid off tons of people as soon as their very successful launches cash in?

I think your smashing of AAA games / their studios and a Golden Age of video games is borderline ridiculous.

I think history has shown (Nintendo specifically) that game play is king, you do not need a billion dollar project with ultra realistic graphics to have fun… many people, like me, have a ton of fun and rarely play any AAA games

The second part is also ridiculous (specially the family part) considering AAA Studios were the worst at exploiting their staff and lay them off the second the beta game was sold in early admissions

Nah… I’m sure Americans will move the goal post again and claim wE aRE noT THerE yEt

Billionarie charities are just money laundering machines… like the billionaires themselves, they should not exist

Windose users do not understand this meme

well, that is what the phrase contradicts… if things were rational, yes the retail market would directly and proportionally affect the financial markets… but in reality, the financial markets are more speculation than reality so you could be promising to sell polished turds with AI (which makes no sense, nobody wants and you won’t sell a single unit) yet your company’s stock is evaluated in the billions

The phrase you mentioned refers to the stock market where companies like Tesla, for example, has stocks at huge prices when every single measure of their actual capacity, sales, innovation, demand, etc are tanking

this is not “the market” that phrase is referring to

for three more years.

Oh, my sweet summer child

How does the US get blamed in this?

Your orange pedo president demanded this and our stupid PM conceeded thinking it would help negotiations
