The “Go woke, go broke” man babies who believes that failed games were because of politics™, and any attempt to help those people is a act of aggression.
A guy from work constantly tells me how I should feel about a game based on a YouTuber he watches. He doesn’t play it, he just parrot that shit. Often it’s the most sexist, disgusting take.
And most of these influencers are outright basement dwellers with pride.
So like, they’re getting shitty takes from shitty human beings who are proud of being shitty?
I’ve worked at hosting companies in the past. I don’t know the timeline, but I’ve never encountered a situation where one folded this fast and just take down a client’s site over a copyright claim.
And our clients, because of the nature of the internet being the internet, a small percentage were real scumbag folks, who while the content was objectionable and disgusting, it wasn’t illegal. Which means it stayed up.
If there was something highly illegal like csam or dark web stuff and it came from a federal agency, we’d take down the site immediately.
If it was a strong letter from a legal entity that we trusted, we would pass that to the client and recommend remediation. No takedown unless there was a court order.
If it was a weak letter from a random legal entity, we lol’ed and wait for the threat of a lawsuit/court order. This was surprisingly extremely common.
So wtf is this registrar doing to shit on their clients so fast without a court order?
That unlimited flexibility to me is significant complexity.
I like PoE a lot and I’m rooting for them.
But I absolutely hit barriers where I can’t proceed because I built wrong. And had restart and follow a guide. That’s a normal situation for most PoE players.
Id say a 1/3 of the games had NESHard energy. Some reviewers even said the first game listed was probably the worst experience for someone to play and starts people off with a bad taste.
I forced myself to play single game and absolutely found 10 games that were fascinating.
I also wonder if I approached it from a budding game developer, and how they recreated some modern experiences in a pure NES environment.
Also, playing the bundle at the same time as a friend is a nice experience! You start talking about what games you’ve tried and give each other hints and stuff.
This is an experience I wish I can have. I feel like a middle schooler again as I play each game, wanting to go to my pals and go nonstop about what I found.
I loved it when Amazon, Google, and Netflix got into the gaming industry and tried to throw billions of dollars and their startup software expertise to “revolutionize” game studios.
