Hopefully we see him again as Judge Dredd

But calling Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium etc. the equivalent of Nebraska is just wrong.

Meanwhile how the Canadians treat the natives:

They use fungicides on vineyards in Europe though. In France there are more people diagnosed with Parkinson’s around vineyards than anywhere else in the country

Define meme

One of my pet peeves with the show is that some of the actors had a different accent (like Juliette and her dad), which doesn’t make sense at all. With such a small colony that lived close together for hundreds of years everyone should talk with similar accents or at most a different accent per social class. Like Common’s accent sticks out like a sore thumb, they could’ve at least shown a couple of more people from the floors he grew up in and have them speak like him to ground his accent in the world.

I’m a descendant of immigrants in the Netherlands and there is definitely a small subset of 2nd and 3rd gen immigrants who is ruining it for all immigrants. PVV would have never been voted in as the biggest party if the parents (who never bothered to integrate and to learn the language) of these trouble making 2nd/3rd gen migrants weren’t given permanent residency.

30 years ago people who pointed out the problems these non integrated migrants could cause in the future were labeled racists by the left wing parties at the time, even though the leader of the socialist party warned about this. The labor party who was in power at the time also didn’t bother to tackle this issue, since they relied on the immigrant vote. And now since the Muslims started their own center right conservative party, labor lost a big voting block and the fascists are in power because people have had it with the inaction of the labor party.

Same thing is happening with the refugees. The illegals who have zero chance to get a refugee status and who are committing crimes have soured people’s attitudes towards the real refugees. Towns that were once welcoming towards refugees want to see the refugee center in their town gone.

Booted my Quest 2 recently. They are trying to push that metaverse bs hard on the front page. And every metaverse game thumbnail is of course AI slop. And proper VR games are pushed all the way down. Meta is destroying VR gaming and VR in general. No smart game dev will put serious time and money into VR in the future.

Horses make women cum more than any other animal.

And Germany is not all of EU.

They still use a chemical that’s part of the PFAS family, teflon is just one of those chemicals under the PFAS umbrella. Unless you mean ceramic cookware.

Capital G Gamers™ are the scourge of the earth.

Just insert it cap first. So you can poop it out when it slips in.

Belle Noire ?

And

The confusing rant then rather radically changed subject to talk about how he doesn’t want to take sides in the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine

And

In 2022, VentureBeat reported that staff working for Moon Studios had told the outlet about a culture of “casual racism, sexism and bullying,” describing it as “an oppressive workplace.”

Yep Around $26 million according to https://games-stats.com/steam/game/no-rest-for-the-wicked/

According to Wikipedia they have at least 80 employees. Ball park cost per employee is around $10k a month (this includes more than just salary). So around $800k per month to run the studio. $9.6 million per year. So they probably spend more than a third of their earnings since launch. And Take Two got their cut (usually half of net revenue, so revenue after the store cut) before Moon Studios went independent, they only became fully independent in March of this year. So they have even less money left. So yeah they saying that they are in financial trouble is probably not exaggerated.

Yes of course you have to market outside of Steam. But actually most traffic to the game page will come from people discovering it through Steam. Especially for an indie who can’t afford a traditional marketing campaign. A feature on the front page will blow the traffic you’d get from a Tuber or Twitch play out of the water. But you’d only get featured if you have high sales momentum or high wishlists before launch. That’s what the pre launch marketing campaign is for. Getting on YouTube and Twitch channels is just to get the snowball rolling. The rest comes from the Steam algorithm and word of mouth.

Steam is a marketing machine. The developers just need to do the leg work first. Steam will heavily promote games that have high wishlists and sales momentum. All those personalized recommendations you see on Steam is Valve doing marketing.
