To keep up with the worst reasons for which people can hunt fossils, on top of selling them in auctions for rich assholes, now you'll be able to grind them into a powder and sell them as medicinal remedies.

Making people pay to skip boring "gameplay" loops, and then paying them a trifle to get them to play more. While getting hundreds of time that from serving ads.

The good content is hiding somewhere under all that, promise! Keep digging and you'll find it.

Signer maintenant pour ça, c'est pourri.

Maintenant dans mon coin de fonction publique y a eu des choix qui ont été fait il y a juste quelques années de ça, et on a passé pas mal de temps à intégrer du Microsoft. C'était clairement pas la préférence de tout le monde mais on n'a pas eu le choix. Même si on serait pas contre le principe, on flippe un peu qu'une décision politique nous demande de tout dégager et remplacer.

No, that's why I said Super Famicom and PAL SNES were coloured. American SNES doesn't like fun, so its buttons are all purple.

Completely unrelated, but...

What the hell are those controller buttons?

One looks melted, the other 3 have weird shading like they're partly hollow. Super Famicom and EU SNES (the ones with colours) are smooth and round.

Another generic live service bites the dust. Sure, keep trying for the formula that only works for about 5 games in the whole world at any given time.

I like how it thinks it is likely from a videogame, but somehow, it's absolutely certain it has the character's name.

And then a bunch of facts about famous videogame character Lemmy Kilmister.

I've only experienced LBP3 (which I understand was probably not the best part of the series) and found it just okay...

However Dreams is the one I wish Sony didn't abandon.

That paper lantern monster design feels familiar. I'm wondering if I've seen that asset somewhere else..

Yeah, it stinks. Another thing that makes me wish we'd got that Dreams PC port that was apparently considered at one point.

Very cool platform, powerful yet (somewhat) easy to use, and no other incentive than creating and sharing cool stuff. It's mostly dead now , but PC would have given it the critical user mass it needed.

A good deal of people making ~~games~~ experiences on Roblox are minors. They're being promised revenues, but of course they're paid with bogus money that they're encouraged to spend back on the platform, since cashing back is subject to an absolutely ridiculous rate, and to a minimum amount. Only the very few at the top can pretend to get anything back as real money. But all of the games, even the ones that never makes a cent for their creators, are the content Roblox milks indefinitely.

Roblox development is a jungle, completely unregulated and managed outside of the platform by design, since they want to deny all responsibility for any of that shit. They kill the platform forums so dev teams are being formed outside, on discords and stuff. Teams with minors working with adults. Yes, there were cases of exploitation, and worse.

That, and also possibly a mod. With procedural show descriptions like other art forms.
