with the current team of devs who’s ethos seems to be to never touch the already well established gameplay features there will never be a minecraft 2.0

the entire philosophy of development for that game would need to change for that to happen

maybe OP heard of dry brushing and got a little confused

that guy’s more recent stuff is much better. he’s really grown as a writer and video creator

one of my favourite videos of his, “sleep is just death being shy”, guides you through a mortality related existential crisis and leaves you with a sense of wonder for existance, good stuff

i never said anything about not taking inspiration from other sources or re-using ideas. provided with what i said that’d be the most extreme assumption possible, why would you jump to the conclusion that i hold an opinion like that?

but you did say that people should start making their survival crafting games by using the most popular thing around (valheim) as the base and going from there (instead of, for example, looking at valheim and analysing what you enjoyed or didn’t enjoy about it, and using that research to help you make something better)

& i won’t stop liking games that i enjoy because they aren’t similar to a game that i don’t enjoy what T–T

if that pirate survival craft succeeds it won’t be because it was like valheim, and if it fails it won’t be because it wasn’t like it either. it will either succeed or fail for what it itself tries to be, and clearly it’s taking inspiration from different sources than valheim

idc about the popularity data, if every artist only sought to replicate what’s the most popular thing around we’d enter an age of total homogeny

you have what you like, i don’t like what you like, i have what i like. multiple things that some people like, and some dislike, can exist at the same time, and that is good

ew no please, i dislike Valheim and i do not want it at the base of all survival craft games

you’re free to enjoy what you enjoy, but don’t make sweeping statements about how a whole genre should look at one specific game for inspiration

not every good game has to innovate, some games take what’s already been made and improve/combine it in a way that elevates them above other ones.

not saying this game fits the descriptions - it’s on my wishlist but i’ll make a judgement when i can actually play it. but just saying that just because it’s been done before, doesn’t mean it can’t be good

making all my own food isn’t really feasable for me with my level of executive dysfunction. even one self made meal a day is a win

i appreciate the advice but i don’t want to live like tomorrow’s the apocalypse

if some form of collapse does happen i’ll just raw dog it

i mean yeah of course, simple life is the best. but that guy sounds like he’s watching every coin go out of his pocket with fear, and so denies himself any and all luxury. even though when a great depression vol 2 hits all his savings will be rendered worthless, so it’d be better to use them now instead of watching them turn into kindling

live like I’m pore

soaking in lots of moisturising creams then i assume?

that’s deeply sad :( you’ve denied yourself so much, and you still can’t even afford your own house. at that point why care? why not enjoy things like eating out, travel, or non-critical medical care?

remember that the end of the world has been caluclated many, many times now. sometimes with vibes, sometimes with actual data, and so far it hasn’t happened, somehow we keep on persevering despite everything

however sure you are of your estimates, the world is to chaotic to ever truly know

dubious method but correct conclusion, i’d give you half a point

i’d be willing to suffer another year of ram shortage if that meant all smart devices fucked off

maybe we could even see actual physical buttons on devices again! i miss buttons and toggles

if you want to be treated seriously maybe provide some proof instead of saying that you’re attuned to all datapoints and can therefore see the future lol

i’m being sincere. games are good, but when the environment they get released into is rotten, then they aren’t even allowed to thrive! and as much as i’d love to see portal 3, i’d rather see changes for the better in the gaming world

aw whack you’re right, when my banking app stops supporting my OS version i’ll have to update

ya i know, but i don’t really download anything on my phone or click suspicious links, i know this is not a perfect defence, but honestly, i hate UI changes more than i worry about malicious software

so this is what Valve is doing istead of pondering the number 3. actually great work! hope they keep being this cool forever

can i walk around this by simply never updating my phone? been (not?) doing that for a year already anyways
