Out of the games I’ve been fortunate to work on, 1/7 require internet, and the 1 was my first industry job as QA. Everything else has been mobile, online required. 5/7 are no longer playable / removed from the internet.

It makes me sad because my kids will never play a bunch of things I made. I can’t revisit them nostalgically. If I had made something in the 90s, it would be preserved still.

I played the cards dealt to me to follow a dream and make a living, but I wish the industry wasn’t like this. The money has always been a role, but nowadays, it’s distorted so badly.

Finest kind.

Imagine life was a game. You lived for 2025 years. You worked 260 days / year. You made the median US salary.

You would need to relive that process 3,145 times to match an Oligarch.

That amount of wealth is unethical while humanity suffers. No one can really fathom “1b dollars.”

The “Christian” nation refuses to see the ironic message of the coming times. It’s almost like because we stopped caring about one another, things are going to get much worse (Matthew 25:32).

His “Wellness” farms in the distant future:

• Eroded safety nets
• Vilify mental health
• Revert to misguided mental health past, asylums as the solution
• Send people there for believing “alternative liberal fictions” (a.k.a. basic facts)
• ???
• All that’s left is hope

What if some of my parents really love red hats?

Our parents really screwed this country up:

• Worse off financially
• Lonelier
• Worse mental health
• Worse social safety net
• Less affordable homes
• Less affordable health care
• Less affordable college
• Climate is royally screwed

It feels like an older sibling who took your toy and broke it rather than parents as stewards who gave a shit about the society they leave the next group. We were taught respect, share, work with others, and then it turns out all the adults are just doing whatever selfish thing lets them get ahead. All the BS propaganda about communism taken to its extreme was true of neoliberal policy taken to its extreme. Now we slip into textbook capital Fascism and defunct cronyism.

It is cowardice, but this is show of force. They are trying to make people feel helpless when this shit happens. They are also likely showcasing to white dudes how “badass” they could look working for ICE.

This shit is an absolute shame. MAGA can make whatever mental leaps they want around legality: Nazis made being Jewish a crime & punished people for it. Same shit, different time. Non-violent “offenders” being dehumanized in public is a disgrace to justice and America.

I mean, that’s when the game really opens up and you get to focus on trade routes & skill trees.

After reading the article, it sounds like the start of a new resource in an idle game. “You now make 89 nuclei of gold every 1 hour. It lasts 1 pico second.” It’ll take a few more prestige loops until we can do full jewelry.
