There are probably better returns on making games for the existing markets, vs gambling money making games hoping to grow a new market. If VR ever truly takes off, they can always jump in later. (Which is a shame because I would love it if there were a ton of great VR games)
I don’t have an aversion to underground games, but I think on some level I don’t love games/movies set out in deserts, whether they’re sandy or rocky. I think in the back of my mind, I’m thinking “man, that looks uncomfortable and dry. I wouldn’t like being there.”
I don’t avoid things set in deserts, and I’m sure I’ve seen/played many good things in that setting, so it may not be as strong as your underground thing, but yeah, I think I have something similar.
Okay, that’s all, now we can proceed to call me Anakin Skywalker.
Can’t wait to play it!!!
I second Cobalt Core, haven’t tried the other two yet. But CC is a lot of fun, I agree it has an FTL feel, but if I had to compare it to another game I’d say it’s closer to deck building rogue likes, like Slay the Spire and Monster Train.
I really enjoyed Tunic, but I didn’t hear about it until recently I saw someone mention it, even though it came out in 2022.
It’s heavily zelda-inspired in the overworld and kinds of items you find, but the combat has rolling too, so a little more fluid than older zelda games. The best part though is you start off not knowing basically anything about how to play/what the controls are/what the heck is going on, and as you find scattered pages from the old-school style instruction booklet, that reveal tips and things you might have overlooked. It was just a ton of fun exploring and learning and overcoming.
Wish they had explained how he avoided the kill screen.
You are a person.
I am a different person.
We are not the same.

I feel like there might be an emerging market for a car company that makes new, safe cars with very low tech computer systems.
Ah who am I kidding, I wish there was a market for all kinds of functional-but-not-enshittified products out there, but the complete lack of them shows the entrenched powers that be will stomp out any attempt to upset the terrible status quo.
…the confusing text layout.
Me complimenting the relatable experience! Despite…
I do get that ultimately that is what the picture is coveying, and I agree with the message, but if the physics of it make me pause, it detracts from the message.
I agree with this image, and I’m quite curious to see what “rich” tastes like… But I feel like the mechanics of this picture took me a second or two longer than it should to understand.
Edit: like are they balancing their unicycles on the larger cylinder? They must have really good balance to manage that for more than a second. And if that is true, what happens if they fall forwards? I see the danger if them falling backwards, but does that mean they just can’t fall forwards?
More propaganda from Big Spring
You take the stairs at work.
We are not the same.
lol no
They do, but sometimes their phones autocorrect to use an apostrophe, and they don’t notice right away.
Yeah, I know two Karen’s, and they are some of the sweetest, nicest people.
I’m not crying, someone’s cutting garlic.
