  • The interesting answer by the way is that there is a glut of them as Roblox, is actually a game mostly about making other games.

    Its a more realized version of VR chat essentially for kids and alpha and Z is full of game devs who though are unfortunately in a single engine but with skill can actually transition to others and often do.

    Some real talent is being cultivated but they are mostly unseen by looking at the places they aren’t.


  • Yeah, oh no a bunch of people got into an industry that they loved so much they got underpaid and lowered the value of their labour to be treated worse.
    But then a bunch of them realized they could just use their passion to make something themself and get paid for it and now we are having a hard time justifying why the big industry’s “shovels” are special.

    It is a shame this happening to lots of industries right now for lots of other reasons too. With the big industry now trying to justify it as being cheaper to make because they automated all the people that make the product especially better.












  • The top 10% of the population now accounts for over 50% of all economic activity. They have a level of income and reserved cash that is hard to comprehend and that just starts at $250,000 US salary and goes up from there.
    Those people are spending so freely and so completely it’s practically the entire economy and we are forced to compare ourselves to them.

    The extra annoying part is that in a population of 350million people in the US, 10% is still about 35 million people. So there is more than enough of them to compare to and for companies to aim at.

    The 90% of us are the working poor and it’s not that others are stretching their money more they either just don’t notice or care to look or have decided they have enough to spend freely without any consideration of whether they can afford it.



  • Its also the power of a cheap production that was more an excuse for a bunch of rich people to skip out in covid restrictions so they could take a vacation in Hungary. If it’s a “fix it in post” production and you never bother with the post production it actually ends up pretty cheap.

    It feels their entire budget was spent up front and then when it was obvious it was garbage they stopped spending.




  • I have learned to appreciate a good index. You can literally tell the good books from the bad ones by how useful the index is I swear.

    Also when I want to be able to search them as long it’s scanned right and I’ve got a digital copy I can do Ctrl+F.
    Its annoying cause I do have to know I have what I’m looking for and what book it might be in but that’s why we have brains I guess.

    I have an insane book from the 1950s for how to properly cater and set every possible meal time from summer tea to like fall bonfires but its less about recipes and more about presentation.
