Feel bad for all the animals that primarily stay outside. Can't even leave my own pets outside for long.

Aight, gonna say this once and that's it.

Not all devs have their sweet time developing games, they're having some IRL stuff to handle too. Not all devs are hotshots and have a dedicated team working on titles, graphics, script, writing etc. And don't tell me about coding, more complex the story is, more complex is the code running under the hood.


Not only that, pressures from payment solutions (Vishit and BastardCard) and ooga booga governments (like the United Pissdom) are very, very scared at them nude pixels so they swinging heavily banning safe to consume materials and even artist themselves because some idiot thought that this is too problematic and not other serious topics (such as THE FUCKING WEATHER)

Then there are devs like YandereDev or HentaiWriter that are lazy as fuck and they stretch development as much as possible so they can continue milking people.

I'm going to tell you a little story, I was once hired to develop a fighting video game, simple, politically themed, at that time I didn't have much idea about video game development since my specialty is web development.

I offered to do it in Unity because it was the only engine I knew, it took me literally ONE WEEK to finish the game, functional mechanics, a scenario, character designs, menus, give me one more week and I would make you an options menu with language selection and volume and resolution controls, it was so extremely stupid that I was surprised by the ease with which I managed to make a fully functional game of that style. This was when I started thinking "I'm either a genius or most developers are just lazy", and I'm not the kind of person who likes to stick with the most egocentric idea.

On another occasion, I formed a translation group for Doki Doki Literature Club mods, I took the role of leader and I had to touch code many times, I learned how Ren'py worked at the time thanks to it and I realized that 95% of developers who use Ren'py DO NOT EVEN use 50% of what that software is capable of, to the point where if I started to implement improvements in the mods, my team's translations were going to end up being mods of mods.

My field is not video games, I am a fullstack developer who works with websites, and I personally believed that video games would be something much more complicated. Of course I know that there are more complex developments than what I described here, but that is no excuse for taking 5 years to make a game that lasts 5 hours, there is literally no excuse for that.

Inb4: "Then why don't you make your own games?", as I said, my area is web development and I already make a living from that, I have no reason to leave my area of specialty.

Over the past few days the concrete was so hot that I had to carry my dog over to some grass just so he could take a leak, and I left out some water in a shallow bowl for the bees near my house so that they could cool off too.

I can't even leave myself outside for long right now, let alone the dog.

Anyone else losing/lost interest in ANVs?

So tired of the long development periods (mfs acting like they are making GTA) and the lack loli/shota/hebe content...

It's a tough situation, because the devs can only work so hard on the games.

I'd love more frequent updates, but I'm also not shelling out tons of money to support them. In the decades of playing these games, I've probably spent less than $100 a year supporting them. Yeah, that's more than a lot of people, but not enough of us financially support them.

 

[MattShizzle]

I've probably averaged about $30/month and I'm poor as fuck. There is a good medium. If it's coming every month it's probably too short to bother with (exception - Toxicity.) Anything longer than 3 months... OK if there's enough content. More than 6 months... COME ON!!!!! More than a year is absolutely ridiculous - especially if very long play between. Cut it up into parts. A lot of us won't remember what was happening after that long - especially those who play several different ones.

Woah, I just found out you need M+ to set a signature. I know M+ is pretty easy to get, but I still find that funny af lmao

Cheers to you. I have a lot of respect for people who support the creators they like directly. It's thanks to people like them that many of the games and other media we enjoy exist in the first place.

its there to stop people putting up spam links on new accounts
a bot can make tones of accounts with (

Thanks for the clarification, I won't click on that link just in case lol, but I get the point.

if you do clink on that link you'll find out why i put that link there
( buy my butt nuts ) aka dingleberries LOL

Dingleberries are most commonly known as slang for small pieces of dried fecal matter clinging to the hair around the anus, typically on animals but sometimes humans.

I actually clicked to see if it's a real site. It's not. Not even a parked one.

i tested it first, dont want the mods have to type anything extra

 

[baxterJ]

Something about stealthing around just feels so satisfying in cyberpunk (wish there was a way to abreviate this), and night city feels really fleshed out and fun to explore.

The mods that add a bunch of clothes and hairstyles are also great because I like to spend a lot of time customising my character's appearance, but I wish the game didn't make my PC sound like a jet engine.

Hey cowerack and anon_97978 or anyone else interested what are your guys' thoughts on the trailer for the second season of Edgerunners I just watched it and was interested in other people's thoughts?

Yup, the trailer for it just came out a few days ago. It's become an anthology show, as this season has a different cast of characters

Honestly I wasn't the biggest fan of the story in the first one, but I loved the animation, mind you I watched it before playing the game or knowing anything about cyberpunk tbh.

I am excited for the new season though, and going into it with some understanding of the lore of the cyberpunk series. Plus the new character designs look pretty sick, my favourite probably being Weak.
