Happy New Year, from me to you!

Likewise, I hope you enjoy the new year :)

This seems a little far removed from No Man’s Sky, but I wouldn’t dare to question Maximilian on fighting game business, he’d know way more about that than I ever could.

I think why you see the divide is because the initial situation is still ongoing, there’s still 200K worth of donations on paper that have not gone to charity as far as we’re aware, and Jirard has only buried his head in the sand with his actions instead of genuinely resolving it instead.

I don’t buy the “can’t happen” at all, look at the situation surrounding Hello Games and the launch of No Man’s Sky, a comparably hostile situation, where redemption seemed unlikely, but they still managed it, by putting in the work to make up for their wrongs (or perceived wrongs, depending).

And if he’s unwilling to walk that path towards redemption, then he’ll just continue to be who he already was.

I’m not sure how his (Jirard) morality factor into it? He’s already shown he is immoral by betraying everyone’s trust in him, and if he wants redemption he’d have to work towards rebuilding that trust, this isn’t a radical concept, that trust is hard to earn the second time around.

The incentive is the redemption, if that’s not good enough, then they don’t truly want redemption, they just don’t want problems.

If the road to redemption was easy, there’d be no weight to it, and no one is “blocking” or otherwise preventing Jirard from trying to do right by the people he cheated, other than himself for being unwilling to walk the thorny path towards genuine redemption.

Isn’t it near the golden ratio or some such? Could be why 😅

The thing that strikes me is that anyone CAN do art, not all art, sure, but anyone can do some level of art, like self-expression does not have to be technically demanding. But it’s never about that for them. They just want the accolades.

Genuinely I’ve been playing PS4 games on my PS5 for this exact reason, I do not comprehend how it isn’t possible for there to be a setting to make it look worse but run better. (“Performance”-mode toggles isn’t enough to make things smooth)

Yeah, I don't understand why they didn't just do a separate category for "Best post-release content" or something along those lines instead of doing this.

Or just like an honourable mention, instead of letting it get take up space in multiple categories.

Like, I love SOTE, but let's be fair here!

Yeah, I am sorry about that 😅 not quite the remix application I had hoped for, I wanted to see ps1-era inspired games and wanted them to have something to put people in that headspace

Not as much as I might have hoped 😅 it was mostly “XYZ has thumbed-up” and comments saying something along the lines of “So much nostalgia!”, which have been a joy to receive 😁

I’ll see about uploading some of them one of these days so they can exist outside of Dreams as well 😅 We should convince Sony to allow posting to BlueSky directly

But most of my time was spent on doing small music visualizers trying to showcase interesting logic interactions I had tinkered with, with everything being remixable for people to browse :)

I’ll do the same for any #DreamsPS4 players coming over, I’m not really anyone special my only claim to fame (or infamy) on there is I have the honour of having made the most thumbed-up audio-visual Dream 😅 The PS1 boot-up

It’s a wonderful game and a great reminder of just how much effort goes into rocket science 😅

I think the last midnight launch I went to was Diablo 3... even though I didn't even buy Diablo 3 during the launch, lol, I just found a used copy of 3D Dot Game Heroes and bought that instead 😂 I was just keeping a friend company

Or that dave the diver game in the indie game category (despite being made by a team within a major studio)

Can't wait to see some genuinely ridiculous nominations, lol. Lest we forget them putting SIFU in the fighting game category among other things 😂

Probably spawned from his brother via mitogenesis

Or the one about protests/rallies, I.e. if there’s a nazi flag at a rally you’re at and no one is kicking them out, then you are in a nazi rally

Truly, I need more games in the vein of Outer Wilds and Obra Dinn, please! 🙏 They’re so good!

I personally ended up replacing the app on my homescreen, it made it a lot easier 😅

I think the most science I ever learned in relation to a game was Kerbal Space Program, couldn't figure out how to not crash, so went online started watching tutorials, which in turn started talking about mass, drag, lift, delta-v, etc.

We should bring back educational games, honestly

Was it the aptly named Dyson Sphere Program? 😃

Did the exact same yesterday 😁 it was time to go
