huge congrats to @serrels.bsky.social and @jacksonwryan.com on the 4x multiplier @continuemag.bsky.social managed to hit

They're not allowed to, the NFT stuff is only allowed on EGS

i don't use the word deranged lightly in a hed, but this guy is just absolutely fucked. textbook web3 linkedin turboprick.

here's a free guide: good video games sell, there are too many games on steam and the economy sucks. anyone trying to tell you anything else is selling you snake oil.

good consultancy work is helping make the game good, not trying to trick anyone or game anything.

i do consultancy work and dipshits like this give everyone else a bad name. anyone who tries to sell you spreadsheets and presentations saying they can help you sell your game is a scam artist.

absolute scam artist shit

theres a pipeline that runs from rich canberra kid > snobby private school > university graduate program > senior public service thats polished to a mirror sheen. people are born and die within that bubble without ever leaving the truman show, and it produces just the biggest weirdos you can imagine

theres an entire caste of elitist private school kids in canberra who went through most of their teens being a) rich and b) stuck in a single-gender school, and if you've ever wondered why our public service and policy decisions are so fucked up and in favour of elites, that's a good place to start!

thats a strategic and economic bag fumble just going by the numbers, but the fact the US is home to what used to be the world's #1 EV manufacturer makes it infinitely more embarassing

the US didnt just fall behind, they had a generational head start and STILL fumbled it

man, who ever could have foreseen that a studio releasing an NFT shooter--one criticised by fans as being structured in a way to be profitable for the developers, not the player marketplace--would ever run into financial trouble.

love to unwind while working but also feel slightly menaced every 7 minutes, really keeps me on my toes

I know that sounds ridiculous, but I just don't do these kind of interviews, to do them rarely even crosses my mind, so the fact I did one here says a lot about how much of a banger this double album is

im not even playing the game, but I can't stop listening to this.

i really wanted to talk to someone about it, then remembered I worked for a video game website, so I could just...talk to the guy who made it?
