Burnout on games and more, much in flux.

Though drained & diminished, Incidentally & Perhaps still a/the peak source for Happenings & Intrigues when it comes to Roguelikes/RPGs/etc in English, as I sense them.

Anime, Donghua, Politics, Current Events...my feed is deeply chaotic as per long storied tradition.

@eniko An unfortunate rarely challenged game genre backdrop orientation for games/rpgs, despite being Real in books/P&P. You compromise nothing and have fantasy give way and/or intermingle with sci-fi/high tech doings on a planetary/universe scale. Hard to say what the most prominent would even be games wise...I suppose Star Ocean in a sense.

You can do it~

Chatting with someone in the Discord channel about how certain mechanics should work in SotW, finding issues, and fixing them for the next release, which feels like such a long way off. No new release until music's done, and I refuse to even guess at an ETA for that.

looks like the middle segment of the games industry is starting to run out of money, not too long after all the VC funding dried up because of interest rates. those publishers willing to fund stuff are either smaller ones looking at smaller indies (few 100k) or huge games

its sad but unsurprising given how many studios in the industry rely on publisher/VC funding

anyhow, it'd be nice if people in general didn't do stuff that strengthens the association between video games and gambling. a lot of game developers are actively trying to distance our side of things from gambling, which is hard enough with AAA doing shit like loot boxes and gambling companies classifying themselves as "online gaming"

Worst workout in these past 6+ years of obsessively doing it---UTTERLY INEXPLICABLY lost about 40lbs worth of performance capability in an exercise....several months to nearly a year worth of progress just up in smoke despite all these advancements in the same and tangential areas over the past 2 months since I last dealt with this specific set on the rotation. WTF

getter7seven,
@getter7seven@peoplemaking.games avatar

@juliancday This has never happened before to me in any capacity, let alone one where I had to drop such a dramatic amount as each increment made no difference until that point. I literally just qualified for a weight increase on an exercise using this exact same muscle group the same way last week---and was fully recovered from, no fever, dinner/breakfast sorted, etc. I couldn't even move the thing off the floor. :/

EDIT: thanks all! Got a TON of great replies and book recs

So, question: I was taught that industrialization/urbanization, the move from farming communities into cities, happened because it provided a higher standard of living, no more starvation etc.

I'm pretty sure that was bullshit, given everything else I've read about the life of say, bakers in cities (and those who relied on their literal singular Daily Bread). Or how many holidays a Christian peasant apparently got.

How did that actually go down? Was urbanization better at first and only got so bad after? Was it because they were coming out of like, the black death or something? Just times were changing?

@eniko I guess there is the niche audience from after the after fact efforts and overseas which could be a driver and/or impetus for it in the first of it.
