All games like this have massive daily player drop offs a few months after release.
This makes me feel super old, because I must have played Quake 1 daily for 8 straight years. Same with Counter-Strike. I’m still not used to people changing games every few months.
"It isn’t very hard to see
Stop and think it over, pal
The guy sure looks like plant food to me."
Why’d you leave the keys upon the table?
“Old lamps for new! Old lamps for new!”
Sacrifice. I am so sad it didn’t have a bigger impact than it did. What an amazing game.
I just want to quickly add it isn’t just “young people”, it’s young men. Women are still heavily left but 20-something men want to give the 1930s a try again.
I was in the industry for just shy of 20 years, and it hit me seeing that list just how many studios are missing from it.
It was nice though to see New Blood do this, and I honestly don’t expect them to run one with all of the studios because frankly that would take hours to show.
I don’t think I’ll ever go back to games, but know that the people who make games: QA, design, art, etc, are leaving in droves, which is for the best. Microsoft is struggling to hire people in Vancouver. Why? They’ve lowered pay for many positions, fired almost anyone with over 2 years of experience there, and hire part time. A friend of mine was offered a Lead position… For 14 months.
If they don’t believe in the games they’re making, neither should you.
Wow, imagine where we’d be if Oil and Gas hadn’t convinced almost everyone that solar was never going to work well.
Tough natives is redundant.
As another poster said, we used words like pr0n, and one that I personally have never used either of that replaces the “er” ending of a word with “a.”
Hell, half of the time we used l33tsp33k was to avoid using specific words.
This is not a new thing.
Man, can you even still download that? Man, it’s the only programme I can think of that I never had an issue with. Even the default skin is so usable.
I still use, Jesus, version 5 or something. Nothing has managed to be as handy as old winamp.
(I think people are misunderstanding your comment as being literal, not quoting what they’re saying. Thank you, for the answer.)
I’m curious, how exactly is the Right spinning this in Germany? Is it similar to the Americans’ ‘witch hunt’ messaging?
Unfortunately, they would rather that the image of Win11 is this really secure OS
(This is in no way an indictment of what you’ve said here, it is entirely directed at MS.) If that’s their objective, they’ve done an absolutely horrific job of making that clear. I guess part of that is they claim everything they do is for security, so no-one believes them.
Not to mention, I’m pretty sure the vast, vast, vast majority of Windows users aren’t concerned that if their PC gets stolen people can get into it. They’re much more concerned with the lost PC itself.
Either way, they look, frankly, incompetent. The OS is maligned by users, and they’ve stuffed so many embarrassing things like ads in the search bar or whatever, that any illusion of its benefits are lost behind a wall of garbage.
I’d love to be eating my words here, but I think Microsoft would rather pull all the marketing tricks out the book to force everyone into Win11.
What confuses me is their weird TPM and whatever else requirements. I have a decent system, but it doesn’t support Windows 11 (thank the gods), so what is their plan for people like me exactly? Like I’m going to replace my motherboard and CPU just to use windows 11? This feels like multiple parts of Microsoft fighting each other.
Harvey Birdman: Mr. Boo Boo, would you consider yourself a revolutionary?
Boo Boo: Well, no. But I believe corporations rob us of our dignity and independence, and that these systems must be ripped down, or levelled by any force necessary… But that’s just one little bear’s opinion.
Harvey Birdman: A cute, fuzzy little bear. (smiles at jury) The defense rests
