really good little detective noir game. i think i finished it in one or two sessions. would recommend
the video game blurb rightfully points out the improved UX on point and clicks, which was a huge improvement on the formula i appreciated a lot

thank you, i appreciate that. i’m one of those people trying to make it happen
it’s not a controversial take to say a message’s tone affects how it’s taken. could you explain why it’s so difficult for you to hear the request “could you be nice”?
or do you genuinely believe a message’s tone doesn’t affect how it’s received? because if so, i’ve been wasting a lot of effort on being nice to you, myself :p (that’s a joking tone, because it’s almost certainly not going to be obvious)
you can explain all of that and be nice about it, you don’t need to assume that people’s motivation is to “get theirs”. like you say, most people have grown up with several decades of propaganda, it’s not their fault they see unions as bad. it takes time to undo that stuff and it’s hard enough as it is without assuming their motivations or blaming them for something they had no control over
you’re not wrong, but you are being unnecessarily antagonistic, and i would appreciate it if you didn’t push people against unionizing by being antagonistic about it. it’s hard enough to get a union going without shaming people for not doing it sooner
people are already suffering at the hands of capitalism. you don’t need to throw it in their face. and, y’know, maybe some people from the game industry browse lemmy. it’s almost like they’re probably just people like the rest of us

also i’m sorry, having done a similar journey
me too, thanks for writing this so i didn’t have to
we need unions and unions need better protections than “can’t prevent layoffs”. unions need to make these painful for the company too

at least explains why three inches seem to be cut off the bottom
do you have a better alternative than rumble? i’m assuming, from context, it’s worse than youtube
fr, you could nab a shitty used car for that much
game developers need to unionize yesterday
i actually had the same reservations, but as i thought about it more, i think stray actually makes more sense as a movie. that way you can give the cat more personality and drive, rather than trying to capitalize on people’s desires to be a cat and do cat things. the game really shoehorns in the narrative, especially past the first half. it would have worked better with a more personified creature imo, since the game really ends up being driven by the narrative rather than the whimsy of the player (which is what i would have expected from a game whose focus was on doing cat things)
for those in america, CWA, Communication Workers of America, is a union that’s trying to reach out to the developers in the game industry
in a week, my friend. on the 24th
wow that’s crazy, workers have standards for themselves and now the bosses can’t push us around and force us back to the office? wonder what would happen if we had those standards for more things…
tokyo jungle is like this, although not limited to playing as cats. cats are one of many animals you can play as
i’m running psychonauts 2, really loving the level design and story and characters. it has really really good gay representation too!
hate speech (of which nazi speech is a subset of) isn’t political either. it definitely should be banned because it demonstrably causes people to get hurt
insane stance to be advocating that nazis should have free speech in 2024
