Don’t give substack blogs clicks. Fucking Nazi enabling platform.

The games need accessibility settings and not a difficulty toggle.

Give people settings to tweak the aspects of the games they struggle with. A generic “easy” mode is the laziest and most patronizing solution.

Give people accessibility sliders for enemy animation speed, iframe windows and health buffs alongside with the options for colourblind, motion blur, sound balance, etc

Making arbitrary modes for easy and hard is such a waste of time. Balancing a game takes a long time and most of the easy and hard modes are only lazy buffs/nerfs to health and attack.

Number 1 thing I think these games need is more complexity. Since Elden Ring the focus has been on polishing/simplifying the existing mechanics and not lets flesh these out some more and add more complexity to the level design, story and missions.

Lies of P is a great example. Incredibly polished and great for first time players but damn if it’s not basically just a linear game. The icons for the missions and everything basically spelt out for you. There is no way to miss anything in that game really.

You need to hide things properly for there to be something for players to find. Hearing about a location that you missed and going back to explore and seeing just what else might be hidden is an amazing feeling.

Cause those dogs were bred for show.

Fuck Ai slop and double fuck Substack and their Nazi enabling.

Want something “fresh” make something new instead of going back to the nostalgia cow and milking another bucket of low effort profits.

Ai slop and a writer with only a twitter link 🤮

Nothing “new” that these huge streaming platforms pump out is worth it anyways. All they are doing is making bank milking the old library of shows and movies that they licensed.

Don’t be a sucker that pays for the old with a subscription. Just 🏴‍☠️ it and watch as much as you want.

Just write the hashtags. You know what’s in the photo you took, write like 5-10 and you’ll be fine. Once you do it more often you’ll find the active hashtags.

Some autocorrect bot won’t do that accurately.

I would delete my account the moment that Nazi symbol was forced onto the account.

Or just delete the account regardless and walk away from the Nazi bar. Pretty simple.

Yup, anyone left on there is keeping that platform of hate afloat. Time to get up and leave the Nazi table.

Blue checkmarks fund Nazis

Oh gosh, been a while since I read something this bananas. Touch grass and seek some professional help.

First 3 ingredients don’t excuse the ingredient following them… still a garbage product that is unhealthy.

Lots of sugar in the form of Agave syrup but also:

Citric acid is a flavor enhancer and preservative that can cause inflammation throughout the body, according to a medical review published in the Toxicology Reports journal.

Natural flavor is a broad descriptor that fails to identify the specific flavoring chemicals used. As we documented in our article on is Topo Chico bad for you, at least one medical review suggests that some flavoring compounds and their metabolites may be toxic.

Not to mention the two vitamins they add: “We haven’t come across any convincing medical evidence that taking these vitamins without a deficiency has any health benefits.”

Or all the microplastics you are ingesting from the canning process. Cause those cans are lined with plastic and bottles and canned beverages are a huge source of the microplastics humans consume.

Please just buy loose leaf tea and make your own iced tea. It’s really not difficult to make a large batch and have enough for all week. You can also flavour it with fresh fruit and herbs like strawberries and mint. Way more control over the sugar content as well.

Those cans aren’t tea. That’s just pop. Tea is made with water and loose leaves.

Delayed to bust more Unions.

No shooting games don’t obviously.

But yeah I could see playing a “slot machine style game” lower your inhibitions and lead you to play an actual slot machine, especially with kids. “It’s just a game, what’s the harm, I’ve played this before, it’s only a few bucks.”

I am against actual scam games too but I don’t see embracing addictive mechanics from gambling as a positive and it will only obfuscate and blur the line between the good games and scams.

Normalizing those toxic mechanics. Makes it easier to release scams that will cost players money when they are less distinguishable from good games.

All these slot machine and balatro clones are only going to make the actual scam games that ape them more profitable.

Fandoms and gatekeepers. Name a more iconic duo.

Marvel is nerd soap operas. Get off your high horse.

We want our own monopoly and Ubisoft style IP milking station.
