Yeah but if its that easy the rich people can’t have armies beneath them that game the system for them so they pay nothing. Do you see how this is better for society?

TLDR: they fuck it up bad just like everything else they touch. Illegalize private equity firms before they turn us all into the same homogenized blob of shit.

The how gets passed down to. The real issue is the propaganda is fed before the facts, and we all know what happens when you est sweets before dinner.

Usefulness and people’s willingness to use it are not correlated unfortunately

The knowledge is being handed down correctly. Thats our biggest advantage as a species, the passing of knowledge to the next generation, and its like something is making sure we dont learn this lesson.

Its looking like the Anatomy of the State was right

But you have to pay to use the water…

Thus, proving his point

I can never escape the base of this meme when I read it.

Except he’d have to be Speaker of the House not VP. He can’t be VP after this term according to the Constitution.

Let’s not do this to Studio Ghibli. They dont deserve it at all.

This is what happens when your government loves business more than people. Do not feed the corporations. They will do this to you too.

Historically? Never, the ones that appear to survive are stripped and repurposed for something nefarious.

This administration is using off the shelf iPhones.

Usually you get a secure phone (regular brand) thats enrolled in the government’s MDM. Which I imagine has special images and phat protections.

The Fox News guy should chill on the merit talk

Agree to disagree I guess. The engines opened the flood gates, before bad games were news worthy. Now they’re the norm. Not that engines aren’t awesome tools, they just lower the barrier significantly and thus more shitty games get made.

You could, but my point is that it is easy to just slap things together using those engines, which usually results in similar feeling, low quality mechanics. Its easy to just use Input.GetAxis and apply some force for an asteroids clone, but now it doesnt feel unique. Thats what I’m trying to say. You dont have to use these, and you can make unique experiences with them. But the ease of access will also increase the amount of low to mid quality games out there, leading to people getting this feeling. So yeah its the devs, but its also the accessibility of these tools.

Yes they absolutely do provide input detection

Using these in conjunction with their physics or even just their built in systems for positions gives games a certain feel.

Let’s see, Secret of Mana? No third party game engine

Chrono Trigger? No third party game engine.

Final Fantasy? Hmm, NO third party game engine!

Now its not necessarily the engines themselves that turns pixel art games into the same slop. Its the constant use of the inbuilt systems for movement and things like that. Thats what makes them all feel the same and not.like the games they are imitating. The movement is different because its a system built by the third party companies generically not hand crafted for the game. That alone works miles towards a game feeling unique.

Remake of secret of mana? Unreal Engine 4.

Octopath traveler? Unreal Engine 4.

You wanna know what doesnt feel like shit? Micro Mages, because they had to create it for the NES just like a classic game. Go play it on Itch.io its dope.
