Back to back releases isnt the problem.

Remember the “Call of Duty games are DLC” jokes? Well that is literally what they have become. There’s no soul in them anymore. They are just a vessel to sell skins.

Hardware doesnt need to get more powerful either. If we actually harnessed it, we have what we need already.

Why spend time making better software when the end user can just buy better hardware!

That’s the point, it doesn’t matter. Enjoy any you want.

Todd just wants “his” Fallout games to be the most liked, to stroke his ego.

Also side note, sales never works as a metric because the gaming industry is constantly growing, any game released now sells much more than it ever would have 5, 10, 15, 20… years ago. Regardless of quality.

I mean the set has missed the mark, from that image in the article. So I’d be pretty disappointed if I was a dev.

The fact of the matter is it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t mean it was a good game or something was done better (which is what Todd is looking for, validation), because some people liked it.

Discord unfortunately “just works”. It’s simple for people to add someone, type to them, call them voice or video, stream their screen. I don’t think anything else does this as well as Discord, so it’s borderline impossible to convince anyone who isn’t a nerd to try some new option. Discord need to do a major fuckup to start an exodus.

If Teamspeak didn’t sit on it’s ass for a decade, we all would probably still be using that.

That’s the least of it’s problems.

This is just each patch note for Discord. It’s so hard to move people off it though, ughhhh

Impressive from an engineering standpoint and it’s only going to get more refined. Give it 5-10 years and maybe they will be durable enough for regular use.

Phones have been tablets, well phablets, for nearly a decade now.

I also use FlorisBoard, it’s the best one I’ve tried. I don’t use spell checking or suggestions so lack of that didn’t bother me, the general functionality and design was just better than other options.

Development has recently started on it again, so these missing features will probably be implemented soon, which will probably help it’s adoption!

Also, Valve with every other company should already have been ordered to stop operating in Russia by their respective countries.

I like to think I hold myself to a higher standard or at least just a standard. General consumption, I’m not sure, but for video games, people standards have dropped significantly, the masses accept a lot of bullshit and even defend it.

It’s very much consumer these days, people buy literally anything marketed to them.

Tiktok and the like. Millenials grew up at the perfect time, where the internet was at its peak, then it all became consolidated into large echochambers which are more easily manipulated. Generations after millenials don’t remember the internet outside of tiktok, instagram, snapchat etc. they don’t what they missed out on.

Social media is an incredibly strong tool. It started off pretty nice, so we thought once the boomers died out we would be better off and for a while it was looking good, but it has quickly turned into algorithmic slop which can easily feed people propaganda without them even realising it.

In any age, it didn’t make sense. We are strong, united. The elite seek to divide us because it makes us weaker and easier to control. Nobody is born a bigot.

Isn’t that the point of major version upgrades? To make breaking changes?

You are mistaking what I am saying. I have nothing against the project as whole and the mission is fantastic.

They just have zero PR skills, don’t know when to keep their mouth shut or how to communicate properly when they need to. A little bit of consultation would go a long way for them. Obviously I am not expecting Google levels of PR/marketing, but it’s not great to see just ranting Discord/matrix messages. If it wasn’t an issue, these posts wouldn’t exist at all.
