Maybe do a lighter drop shadow below and to the left if you wanted the selected comments to pop more? If you don't think that would clash with your current setup too much.

Pretty much every big AAA video game is complete dogshit, but there are still lots of great indie games coming out. In my opinion gaming is in one of the best states its ever been in, considering literally anyone can publish their own game now. You just have to be willing to dig a little deeper.

The "problem" (it's not really a problem) with an Indie-dominant market is that games are generally smaller in scope. That doesn't mean they're bad games; I have no qualms with the indie market at all. I am more than willing to wade through the endless tranime VN's that plague Steam just to find the few good indie games, but it's not the same, Expectations in terms of content and polish are different, and there's just inherently not gonna be as much hype & discussion generated from an indie-dominated gaming sphere compared to a Triple-A dominated sphere.

I think a lot of people miss the days when AAA meant getting complete games that were loaded with well-designed content, polished to a knife's edge, and shipped with only a few minor bugs, if at all. You are certainly not going to get that in today's AAA market, nor are you likely to get that in today's indie market.

Even buying a so-called "AAA" at this point means you're basically paying to beta test some piece of shit that will be discounted to 25% or so within a couple months because it's garbage. And that's even after the shitty shovelware factory passing itself off as "AAA" supposedly "fixes" it.

Quit buying this sweet baby or whatever shit.

The reasons as to why Triple-A has gone to shit are a whole separate can of worms. between anything DEI related, from Gamergate and sweet baby controversies to Retarded college kids wasting time and money on shitty game dev courses, I'm surprised the mainstream gaming market hasn't already shit the bed like its 1983.
not even the indie scene can escape this, but at least its independent nature means you can get games that aren't completely pozzed and hit by incompetent developers.
 
Is there an archive / collection of Josh's newer gumroad videos? Its okay if people don't want to put them up for a week until after they release, but honestly I don't really want to start a monthly gumroad sub.

@Null You mentioned being disheartened at the state of video games nowadays, so I thought I'd recommend you one. I think you'd like Project Zomboid. You really seemed to like Space Station 13, and Project Zomboid is a survival sim of a zombie apocalypse. It's high on inventory management and being responsible for your actions. If you tell a character to climb through a broken window without first cleaning the glass from the frame, you're going to rip yourself to ribbons on the glass shards you just leapt through. Lots of potential for funny deaths. It also supports multiplayer, though how robust the feature is I wouldn't be able to tell, I've only ever played in dedicated instances with friends.

If jersh is looking for something life is strange-esque I would recommend night in the woods it's connected to zoe Quinn and only 3-4 hours long
 
For the Friday Reddit segment I present r/AccidentalAlly a top 2% sub of trans people mocking transphobes.
Hateful people being kind by accident towards LGBTQ+ people accidentally supporting/affirming/being good to them, through ignorance or otherwise.

The people over at AccidentalAlly are upset that Facebook wine aunts are saying Dylan Mulvaney might be a natal woman turned trans man turned trans woman. Also the word trans-vestigate.

I’d agree though what’s the current status of the devs? Last I heard they were throwing a fit over being slow with updates.

Ehhhh, it's in the ventilator stage just before they take off the oxygen mask and let it die. People tend to say gaming doesn't have to innovate, every game does not need to be unique but that spirals into incestuous games which are just boring unoriginal or overly autistic. The average ps2 game was more innovative and fun than the average game today, unfortunately.

Holy shit, the most delusional post in this fucking thread, this has to be a bait post (if so, you got me).

Indie games are in the most pozzed state I have ever seen. I'm not going to push my meme dreams of a spiritual sequel of Deus Ex with /pol memes, Far Cry 2 but with a non cucked map+character editor or a full version of Black Lives Splatter, but every single indie game I have seen so far (and I have digged deep enough) has the following:
  • Troonery or at least some faggotry
  • Niggers (that are "the good guys")
  • Kosher approved kikery (a.k.a the "le based zog nu-democrat" meme)
  • Infantilized (I know "vidya" can be considered as a manchild/soy hobby, but I'm talking about the visuals and game mechanics)
The only way I see indie devs walk around this is if it's a faceless, lowpolygon spaceship shooter, pixel based (literally the indie game meme) or a text based game. At this point you might as well just read a book or play something old instead.
I noticed this when playing E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy (yes, I know, the /v/ meme game) and I can't believe that someone hasn't just ripped it off and make it less janky with some QoL improvements on top of it, same can be said with Far Cry 2 and Deus Ex too. Considering the amount of shitty virtual novel shovelware that gets shit out on a by indie retards and that "The Mystery of Epstein Island" never got finished, I got absolute zero hope in indie devs.
 
Reddit's CEO is apparently musing about paywalling certain subreddits. It's honestly fascinating how much he hates his own site.

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman has hinted that in future some subreddits could be paywalled, as the company seeks to devise new sources of income.

Huffman raised the prospect during an earnings call in which he said Reddit would also be testing AI-powered search results later this year …


Reddit’s drive for cash​

Reddit has been very focused on making money both in the run-up to its IPO, and since.

The first big news on this front was more than a year ago, when the company started charging developers for API calls, forcing the closure of the popular third-party app Apollo. That led to wide-scale protests that the company had to forcibly shut down.

It was subsequently revealed that the company had signed a deal with Google to allow Reddit posts to be used as training data, which subsequently saw the company blocking all other search engines.

AI search could generate ad revenue​

Engadget reports that Huffman now sees AI-powered search as a potential revenue source.

During the call, the Reddit co-founder said the company would begin testing AI-powered search results later this year [and] that search could one day be a significant source of advertising revenue for the company.

Some subreddits could be paywalled​

More worryingly, Huffman also hinted that in future some subreddits could be paywalled.

He suggested that the company might experiment with paywalled subreddits as it looks to monetize new features. “I think the existing, altruistic, free version of Reddit will continue to exist and grow and thrive just the way it has,” Huffman said. “But now we will unlock the door for new use cases, new types of subreddits that can be built that may have exclusive content or private areas, things of that nature.”
