Totally. As I said, I don’t disparage well made games and enjoyed literally every title you listed except Persona (never played).
But like lets be real. AAA game industries have generally become bloated, increasingly prioritizing profit over product quality. Lots of exploitation of developers and gamers alike.
I’m not saying AAA can’t produce good games.
Nothing against Glen, Dead Space, or any genuinely well made game… but the AAA industry needs to die.
Edit: The number of you misinterpreting this as “AAA games bad” is too damn high.
Last I checked the chances had been reduced by 1000%
none zero chance
I wager the actual chances are in the double digits.
Politik-brained Canadian here:
IIRC they didn’t raid Epstein till 2019. In 2020 Democrats had a narrow majority in the house which they would lose in 2022.
Than January 6, 2021 happened, and I think everyone thought that would be the legal case that brought Trump down.
It kind of seemed inevitable that the Epstein files would get leaked or released eventually. That is until Trump officially ran again in 2023; creating the possibility that the evidence would be destroyed permanently if he won.
Just bottom rung people looking down on the only people left categorically worse than them.
That’s why “chomos” need to be protected in jail.
That’s why wanna be Chris Hansen’s are usually as creepy as the creeps they catch.
That’s why violence posted online gets a free pass when its framed as a pedo getting btfu.
Me neither. It’s the house oversight committee. So it’s my understanding they do have some real power. Though to be honest I don’t know what the scope is.
I think GOP wants to get rid of Trump but keep MAGA. They’ve simply been unable to manipulate that outcome until now.
I’m not holding my breath but I’m really hoping that will help maga chuds clue in that the GOP are wholly dishonest.
Supposedly Trump wanted to sue people for defamation until his lawyers informed him that would mean the Epstein files would have to be made public to prove it wasn’t true.
Good. To cover it and take it away is significantly more cruel than if they had never covered it at all.

Just car-brain mentality on full display.
I doubt half of those residents would even have drivers licenses.
What’s the difference between ARM and x86 other than proprietary?
How is steam an ARM store? (Genuine question not a disagreement)
What specific brands/companies/developers do you see becoming relevant in this context within the next year?
Will this translate to more budget friendly pc-gaming options?
I am a former pc-gamer. Built my last PC in 2009. Even then it was a budget build (AMD gfx).
You’re taking a reasonable position and pushing beyond it’s reasonable limits.
that is what things like the SPCA and law enforcement are for.
SPCA is a non-profit society. I don’t think they have the resources to hunt down puppy mills actively trying to subvert prohibition. RCMP is a national police force. I’m fairly certain puppy mills would fall near the bottom of their priorities list.
Prohibition never works as a substitute for regulation. Look at alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. Not only does prohibition utterly fail at eliminating these practices, it demonstrably exposes people to exploitation and harm.
Prohibiting animal breeding would just mean that the people who chose to do it would have no incentive to ensure their animals aren’t subjected to cruelty or harm.
That’s my biggest gripe. Games being released in an unfinished state. I’d rather them be honest, call it an early release and charge accordingly.
My second biggest gripe rides off the back of the first… how the people who make and play games are exploited.
Devs getting worked to death and thrown under the bus for executive decisions.
Gamers’ loyalty being taken advantage of including the declining value of Pre-orders.
