Gets carried away in overly rambly rants about unimportant bullshit, uses fancy words without understanding their meaning, has a complete lack of self awareness.
Likes budgies.

BudgieMania,

Whatever shred of justice can be extracted now unfortunately can't erase the fact that he got to get away with it for years and live a long prosperous life as a billionaire owner an empire.

I can't imagine how it must feel to deal with your trauma in obscurity while you watch them fly on private jets and be treated like messiahs because they are good at putting an expensive action-figure show on TV.

BudgieMania,

Same vibes as when people tell you "the DLC areas of DS2 are great" but they have some of the most toxic shit known to humanity

BudgieMania,

Aaaah Silicon Valley, if you work in anything tech related it is the most cathartic show you can possibly watch. I've lived through the whole "The Box" mess like three times throughout my career at this point.

I agree that it gets messy at times, but I give them a pass on that, considering that the unfortunate passing of a certain actor probably threw all the early plans they had about the direction of the story out the window. For a show that had to scramble to deal with those kinds of unexpected issues, they did better than anyone could've.

BudgieMania,

Oh yeah! the ending was near perfect, so thematically appropriate and so bittersweet. The extended version is somehow even better

BudgieMania, (edited )

I'm not sure how I feel about this one, because I think that a large part of my enjoyment of the first one was unraveling the mystery of what had happened to the world, and that's all but gone now. We'll see I guess.

BudgieMania,

watch From Software snipe them with the release of the DLC for Elden Ring too, I bet they were waiting for this news to release it on the same week lol

BudgieMania,

hhhhmmmmm I don't know, I'm not sure I'm interested in discovering more details
I was interested in the general what, not so much on the specific who's or how's, if that makes sense
But I won't fully knock it until I try it

BudgieMania,

throughout november and december 2023, and january 2024

if you had investments in the S&P500 that is

BudgieMania,

In most cases, they hired and grew at an irresponsible rate in 2021-2022

Just compare the growth in employees in Microsoft in 2021-2022 compared to the 5 previous years or so

Of course, the employees are not to blame for that and should not pay for that, but that's how they roll I guess...

BudgieMania,

look they were on a refugee caravan I doubt there were top notch ingredients give a gal a break jeez

BudgieMania,

what a fucking boomer

BudgieMania,

It sure is fascinating how surges in the usage of pirate platforms tend to coincide with eras of worsening value proposition in entertainment. We should really get some top notch analysts on this to get an explanation.

BudgieMania,

They really need to create some more variant tags, only Super, Ti, and Super Ti, really? Where are Ultra, Legendary, and Co? As it is, they don't have enough to cover every 5$ rung in pricing! Unacceptable!

BudgieMania,

i like it, voodoo would be a great tag name for rehashes of a past generation that are resurrected to lazily fill a gap in pricing

BudgieMania,

Second major paragraph of the article

“It will be ubiquitous,” Yoshida said. “Wherever there is computing, users will be able to play their favorite games seamlessly. While PlayStation will remain our core product we will expand our gaming experiences to PC, mobile, and cloud.”

BudgieMania,

Sounds pretty fucking good to me Yoshida-san

Good that they have fully understood that the few console purchases cannibalized by releasing their games on other platforms are significantly outweighted by the much more significant amount of people that would not be willing to get a PS, but would still want to buy the games.

BudgieMania,

is definitely "while" in the context of the interview

BudgieMania,

I think they got that from the youtube text transcription

poor proofchecking/proofreading on their part

BudgieMania,

After GTA Online made gazillions of money I can see how you'd want to try doing your own version of it if you already have the foundations of a GTA-esque title

BudgieMania,

forget hours, I am surprised he even survived pressing the upload button

BudgieMania,

give them a decade give or take lel

BudgieMania,

I just hope that these companies don't have the gall to complain about a lack of manpower or expertise availability a few years down the line. Because by coordinating all these layoffs, they are currently creating a vacuum in which a lot of professionals in the industry won't have any chance to acquire experience and develop their skills, and many will probably have to change their career trajectory significantly just to ensure their economic well-being. And once they see how greener the grass is outside the videogame industry, let me assure you, they won't be coming back.

If you are not willing to stick with your professionals through your thin, you don't deserve their availability and effort through your thick.

BudgieMania,

Legit the biggest, most transparent, most obvious, most blatant scam I've seen in the 25+ years I've been playing videogames.

If you bought into this game or believed in it at any point, you should not go anywhere without wearing oven mitts and arm floaties.

BudgieMania,

Based on how many titles in the past have pulled off the "launch in Early Access, grab a lot of money in the early hype, disappear" strategy, I have to imagine something like that was the intention.
They probably assumed that there would be a big enough pool of naive fools that would believe in the game for just long enough to get away with launching a below minimum viable product and cashing out once the reasonable refund window was surpassed. And, considering that they were the best performer in Steam for a hot minute, you can't blame them for thinking that.
They just overestimated how much they could get away. Which, considering how much some other titles have gotten away with in the past, is saying a lot.

BudgieMania,

dude think about this stuff before you open the floodgates bro
