To them humor is racist/queerphobic caricatures, they want TV that let's them point and laugh at anyone they consider 'lesser'

"haha look at the man wearing a dress" type shit

Most of these points are just "spirituality" rephrased, you can be spiritual without being religious

If anything I respect spirituality more in non religious people since their beliefs are untainted from being indoctrinated as children

What else is it supposed to be

Yeah, people get taught "there's a single figure called God that knows everything and has absolute power and that's good" from childhood, and then we're supposed to be surprised they favor authoritarian governments

If she stared at me like that I would just assume that my cause of death will be really weird

Alternatively I'd love to see them immediately default to zoro sanji style bickering

Probably the same type of person that, should they actually get their hands on any money, will immediately waste it on rich people 'aesthetics' like renting an expensive car or house for a day just to take pictures in/next to it

long term without skilled workers doesnt matter. They got to show that RIGHT NOW the line is going up, so invest NOW. That's what i mean by short term profits. People lose their jobs, we get worse games for higher prices, but a bunch of C-suite assholes get rich fast. Broken. As intended. (3/3)

Ceo's and shareholders arent interested in potential future profit, they want short term profit and they do that by firing entire teams, so they can show investors larger profits (successful project AND no nasty wages to pay? how nice!) so they invest now. the fact that the company wont last (2/3)

Also no the issue isnt that the employees dont get "more of the short term profits", they want to keep their goddamn jobs
In a healthy industry, companies keep devs after a project, especially a successful one, since that proves the dev's worth for future projects. But that's not what happens. (1/3)

Alright, i'll bite
What makes my comparison terrible, what about it doesnt work for you

🔥Paperpyro🔥 @paperpyro.bsky.social · Aug 26

No one is saying that the system isnt working as intended you dunce, it is making the most profit for the company.

When OP calls the industry broken they are referring to the fact that (short term) profits are prioritized over the creation of games and the wellbeing of the people who make them.

The sheer irony of using the recently invented slop content creation machine (tm) to complain about how content used to be better in the past could almost be an artistic statement if it wasn't done without any self awareness whatsoever

Do you fire the crew of a commercial airliner because the flight landed? Jobs done, don't need stewardesses on a grounded plane after all

It genuinely feels like they are intent to be on the wrong side of every social issue imaginable, there's not a single point of theirs where I'd go "actually I side with them on this one"

It's just what happens when you build your campaign on fear mongering and conspiracy theories I guess

I tried using trello for my solo projects for a bit and it helped a little bit

I have since bought a small whiteboard that hangs above my monitor and it works a lot better

It's a scam, it straight up has the "made with video show" (ai video generator) watermark in the corner

🔥Paperpyro🔥 @paperpyro.bsky.social · Aug 16

Similar with this one, they didn't even bother removing the "video show" watermark, an ai app that generates videos from pictures

It sucks that genuine cries for help are being drowned out by ai scammers preying on people's goodwill

🔥Paperpyro🔥 @paperpyro.bsky.social · Aug 16

It's a good fight, but I've seen this video on my timeline a bunch and it's clearly AI

Also the account posts thousands of times within an hour, it's a scam bot
