Fuck you, Palworld, here comes Donald Duck with a shotgun.

As soon as I saw the title, I was gonna say Maxis, too. I like how they called their games “software toys”.

Wealth and power, of course. The same things that have motivated imperialism all over the world, for thousands of years.

The absolute best value I ever got for a video game was for my old Atari 2600. I got a Solaris cartridge at a flea market for just a few bucks. It was cheap enough that I bought it despite never having heard of the game before.

The graphics capabilities of an Atari are laughable by today’s standards, but in terms of overall fun and hours played, nothing has ever beaten Solaris.

It’s always amusing to me when people believe that just because they have a lot of money, they’re part of The Club, and they can act with impunity. Perhaps I’m wrong, but spez seems like one of those dumbasses who thinks they’re part of The Club, but isn’t.

Maybe, after reddit’s recent shenanigans, the SEC will teach him that.

Ha. Ha ha. Ha ha ha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHH!!!

If things actually work out to the benefit of the players, then great!

Yeah, that’s what the last two sentences are about.

A big company will take fewer creative risks and be more likely to limit investments to proven formulas. They’d rather just churn out sequels to huge moneymakers. On the other hand, more competition means more incentive to try something new and interesting in the hope of hitting it big.

At first, I was somewhat surprised that this was even a question - then I reminded myself that they’re asking how the merger will affect the industry, not the players.

I don’t care how it affects the industry. I’m not a high-level executive with a gaming company. Are you?

For the players, I don’t think it’ll be that great. Whatever savings are made due to the merger won’t be passed on to us. They never are. What’s good for players is competition between many companies, all doing their best to attract customers. An enormous, monolithic conglomerate will do us no favors.

I’m being generous. I tend to think that the Chinese people (or people of any country, really) are victims of propaganda. We’d all be less supportive of our various governments if we weren’t constantly told that we’re the GOOD guys, and our enemies are BAD and EVIL.

Everyday people need to remember the difference between the general Chinese population and the CCP. The Chinese people are wonderful. The CCP is horrific, and working tirelessly to create their own version of hell.

Seeing this post reminded me to delete the Narwhal app.

Come on. I don’t expect the average person to be an expert at this, but a professional animator should understand that the human face is a bit more complex than Mr. Potato Head. You don’t just slap a grin on there and call it a day. It’s not like this is some groundbreaking experiment, and nobody has ever tried to animate a face before.

Actually owning something you buy has become a selling point. Think about that for a minute.

“This is Ohio… or maybe EPCOT?” almost had me crying.

I don’t use Twitter. Are claps a thing there? Sounds obnoxious.

The downvoting bit is weird to me, too. I guess there’s a bug somewhere, because I don’t see them.

Nothing reddit has done lately qualifies as “honorable”.

Delete this post. I’m embarrassed for you.

This just keeps getting weirder. There’s no shortage of fools on the internet, though, so it might actually work. Whatever.

Bahahaha this is GREAT! What a dipshit.

It’s like the API thing didn’t piss off enough users, so now spez is switching to Plan B.

If he isn’t trying to destroy the company, though, I have no idea what the goal is.
