This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

We’re in a world where using electronic payments for sex-related games is a problem, but murder simulators are okay.

I think one underdiscussed reason that people are gravitating towards these games is because they ask so little of your life *going forward*, too.
Most of them don’t have XP, or battle passes.
For almost any larger multiplayer effort that’s coming out these days, who could claim the same?

Don't call 'em "friendslop": Just because low-budget games like Lethal Company and Peak are popular and played with friends doesn't mean they're slop, Bee Wertheimer writes. www.endlessmode.com/article/not-...

People keep saying "audiences don't really want authorless entertainments made by AI," not grasping that the slop media landscape is a different proposition: "content" made by one person to be consumed by approx. one person, quality approaching zero. So... stop making "content" and do art crimes?!

An independent #Hawaii can demilitarize in phases. A common argument is Hawaii would immediately be invaded, I disagree because China has no international bases.
However, reducing 50% of US bases over 10 years & charging market rent for the remaining is mutually beneficial, strategic & profitable
