Yup, there’s a reason so many developers are willing to go to Steam despite them taking a larger cut. It was so weird that Epic seemed to market to consumers about how it was so much better for developers while they did nothing to actually make their platform desirable for either.

Yeah it felt like they literally marketed themselves as exclusively pro developers while having nothing for the consumer, which I’ve always thought was a really fuckin weird stance to take if you want to compete with Steam.

They definitely do, I distinctly remember Stephen King making a big scene because they kept on giving him a verification check he didn’t want

Who is the official arbiter of game genres?

Streaming costs almost nothing to them comparitively, the expensive part is all the licensing

Oh yes, sorry. Really is my fault I didn’t schedule my fucking emotional breakdown at the proper time.

Reminds me of the song Arachnotopia by Darkest of Hillside Thickets

I use degree’s “prescription strength” stuff and it actually is the best antiperspirant I’ve ever used. I used to sweat through basically every deodorant I ever wore from middle school to my early 20s till I found that stuff

Oh no, we aren’t too stupid to implement ranked choice voting, we live in a country run by people who have a vested interest in not implementing it

You do understand that there are massive protests going on around the country right now? Telling a single person you don’t know that they should fight to fix their country does nothing, we already know the country is fucked.

Sometimes it feels like every time an American laments the shitty state of our country someone has to come along to remind us that it has always been shitty to make us feel worse.

I will refuse to go to bed a lot simply because I hate the idea of giving away my time to sleep tbh. But yeah some days idgaf and just pass out as soon as I’m off work

You know that “federal workers” doesn’t just mean politicians right?

Ah, nah, I misread a guide on it apparently

A quick Google shows that both male and female player characters had the exact same romance options, so he was always bi

I thought every party member in Bioware games was basically bisexual tbh

Comic books are a bad example imo because retconing characters is just what they do over there lmfao. But yeah they did decide in 2015 that Iceman was a closeted gay man. His sexuality wasn’t really a major point of his character beforehand tho and I think the way they did it told an interesting story for his character, so I think it was a worthwhile retcon of an otherwise kind of mediocre character.

Name a single example, please

FF14 is also free to play for the first several expansions to be fair

Yeah, I think there is a substantial portion of Americans who won’t ever vote for a woman, but I think it was still just a small part of the larger issues in both their campaigns
