And Syndicate, Master of Orion 2, civnet, and oh boy, I can't even recall half of the 90s games anymore. I think Tomb Raider was also around the time but for sure later.

Myst was never my thing. I was way to busy playing Doom and Dune 2 back then :-)

Hmm, I'm cautiously optimistic. But something deep down tells me either he wants reforms and not just power and then he will face an uphill battle of loyalists sabotaging him on ever level - and then next elections Orban is swooping in as the "savior".

It's all fine, but sadly the alternative ain't that much better. Not long ago he was literally in the same party, so it will be a while till Hungary gets out of that hole again.

Ah, the whole point of fingerprinting extensions is to show a funny message like "this side doesn't allow ad trackers". That's why this feature in Chromium exists in the first place. MS just has found another way to exploit what boils down to protecting ad run business plans. That's the main issue.

Ehm, you must be new, because various JPEG/JS exploits were used and distributed by various ad vendors for decades now. And Chrome pretty much is an ad platform masquerading as a browser ;-)

Why is everything going on on a C-level always look like a complete sh.. mess-show?
I hope those guys get also paid less than the janitor...

Ehrlich gesagt, ich schau keine deutsche Synchro mehr - das klingt alles für mich nur mehr als Piefke 1, Piefke 2, Piefke 3,... Da ist null Variation, nicht mal deutsche Regionalitäten hört man raus, die klingen alle so Klischee, es tut weh.

Isn't it about a game being sloppified by #nvidia?

The bubble must grow!

Ah, CEOs, they never amaze on the negative IQ scale.

Well, let's say I'm a bit on the older side and have been developing games in the 80s in my garage :-)
But I was not kiddin', in the early 90s dev studios changed structurally drastically and that resulted in a lot of interesting historical stuff, it's way to much to go into in a tweet.

It's like enshittification is real :-)
Well, in the end, doing your own fulfillment and shop might actually be the better option, incl. hiring an intern, over using service provider - but obviously that's only an option for small volumes.

Oh, so you are a manager? Interesting, I remember back when I still was a prof game dev managers started to calling themselves developers due to the bad rep they got from the 80s game crash. Funny that this is still a thing after all those years. Thanks for the info!

But I understand now why in the last decade so many content creators have close down their merch shops, it feels seems really not worth the hassle if you don't sell large quantities.

Well, that is a creative system - and I'm actually shocked I guess that one correctly. I feel a bit dirty now.
50% sounds insane to me, if a platform charges more than 30% it's way beyond reasonable. And this one is actually a charge on top of the fee.

Interesting. In which development aspect are you actually involved? Design, Implementation, Testing?

Let me ask that as a developer dummy that is not that into the church of money. Does that mean they charge you additionally when your cut exceeds a certain value?

Wait, are you a producer or a developer now?

It's basically a marketing term. Like "netcode". Or "super intelligence". Lots of pseudo terms like that floating around outside the development space but often used casually inside as well.

For starters, nice work. A minor nitpick that instantly caught my attention (I'm getting sensitive to GenAI errors, so I notice stuff like that these days) is the constant East/West animation on the water flow. It looks a bit weird on rivers especially. Had to giggle over the RBG shoutout :-)

Well, the system was designed to avoid getting in legal trouble due to DMCA filler material, they couldnt care less about, cause it makes them no money. For a youtubes perspective anything that is not their product (ad delivery) is in their eyes a waste of shelf place and opportunity cost anyway.

I'm actually surprised nobody is mentioning Queen's Blood...

Was interesting hearing the perspective of so many youngsters about Retro - now I have to do my social gaming sessions for the weekend with my buddies, so you guys have fun with the rest of the stream!

Plus die GIS schuldet mir bis zum heutigen Tage illegal eingehobene Beträge welche sie bis heute nicht zurückgezahlt haben und wenn man nachfragt, gibt's nur Ausreden. Also halte ich persönlich nix von dem Gaunerverein seit über einem Jahrzehnt.

Ich hab auch nix gegen Runfunk fördern - aber bitte weg mit dem RIS Versorgungsposten Loch ohne Boden, welches regelmäßig vom RH berechtigterweise kritisiert wird. Dann bleibt mehr Geld für die Schaffenden.

Viel bedenklicher ist, daß es fast keine Frauen gibt beim Heer obwohl es immer mehr gibt, welche einen Krieg auslösen können. Das ist echt bedenklich. Und niemand geht dieses demokratisches Problem an...

I think it's pretty common consent by most players of FF7 Rebirth that the ratio of core game play vs mini-games was a bit going overboard. But it's great that there are a few that like the direction :-)

Langsam krieg ich Angst mit wem ich da alle in der Vergangenheit einen Whisky getrunken habe und auch in der Sumpf drinnensteckt; vielleicht hätt ich damals doch net nach Wien ziehen sollen. Wenigstens hab ich nie was von "HighSociety" Leuten gehalten, viel Blahblah aber nix dahinter. Außer Epstein.

Könnte man die Schattenseite von Jahrzehnte Proporz und Zwei-Parteien-Politik nennen. Und jo, das wird net wegkommen, nur die Farben/Namen ändern sich wenn man mal mit sowas angefangen hat.
