At first I read it as “friendship isn’t real” and thought that was a weird thing to say

These games can be good, but I’ve always felt that selling a game primarily on being “fun with friends” is an extremely weak point. Everything is fun with friends. Watching grass grow is fun with friends.

scratchee,

Sure, that’s absolutely true, but the games that have done well recently have found ways to properly take advantage of an “easy” market. I suspect the lesson is just that this particular market is well suited to smaller and simpler games but with quick turnaround, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, if anything it means small games companies can shoot for big wins, which can only be a good thing.

funnily enough i’ve only learned of this term from people saying it’s wrong and not real, so it’s more ‘friendslopslop’ to me

I’m digging indie titles taking some risks and trying new stuff. They’re usually decently cheap and fun with some friends. As AAA titles begin to adopt the new $80-85 price tags, indies have a time to shine.

theangriestbird,

i like your positivity. it’s true, except that the landscape for indies is also v grim rn. The kind of investors that fueled indie games of the past have dried up. Kickstarters for games still happen, but it isn’t the like the glory days. And discoverability is a nightmare, releasing an indie game these days is a bit like playing the lottery. But I’ll tell you, when a $20 or under indie game catches my attention, i’m pretty inclined to impulse buy. They are more enticing than the $80 games, for sure.

Moonguide,

Fr. This year seemed like it was going to be pretty shit in regards to new releases, with the only things to catch my interest being the DLCs for rimworld, bannerlord, and Rogue Trader, and Arma Reforger.

But games like Beta Decay seem to be holding the torch for innovation. Can’t wait for that to be released.

I like the term. It’s punchy, memorable, can be used jokingly and with sympathy, or in critical way to refer to the formulaic/generic side of a certain game.

In my house we call them multiplayer streamer bait!

The article is kinda lame. There is no breeding in any form. Check Conception games, that’s breeding.

Anyway, the game is great and fun. I saw many people saying “either stay F2P or go whale” and I agree. There is no reason to spend money on it. Progression speed is fine in my opinion.

I don’t even watch real horse racing and now I see why some people enjoy it. Horse-girls are more fun though, since it has a lot of story elements.

i hope this is the last that I ever hear of this lol

Don’t play it? Who cares? Ya it’s kinda weird, ill never play it or install it. That’s that, why try shaming people for stuff like this?

theangriestbird,

Did u read the article? Gita seems to be in love with the game, I wouldn’t say they were shaming it at all!

terminhell,

Misread the title - thought it said gross and weird

Haha, one of the comments on that article is just:

Recession indicator.

… And I think they’re right. 😭

It’s funny because companies are using AI for job listing’s and are simultaneously getting swamped by hundreds or thousands of applications due to AI as well. AI is completely messing up the job application process. Not like the process was any better prior to AI but now it’s an even bigger mess

Wow. My furnace just kicked on. Isn’t that the digital inverse of Stockholm Syndrome?

There it is. “Use AI” is the new “learn to code”.
