Anyone else just kinda feeling abstract

I wanna play VRChat but I need a new VR headset... My current one is very old and outdated...

Concept: games but modded just a little bit to make them perfect for you

It's extra frustrating because Rimworld is just a poorly optimized game to begin with. If they would just let me use my EIGHT CPU CORES then maybe I would be able to play the game at a stable framerate!

For some reason Rimworld 1.1 is a lot laggier than Rimworld 1.0? I used to be able to run full speed with like 10 colonists and a massive modlist— now, even with a really small modlist, the base three colonists can knock me down to 40 fps.

Feeling better now

After what feels like actual hours of fanangling, there are no more error messages on game launch. Yay!

Excited to try Rimworld Royalty. Hopefully it doesn't snap all of my mods in half like I'm expecting it to.

4am dissociate and chill

Feelin depressed today

Don't worry, nothing sad is happening. Fallout 76 is just that upsetting to experience

What if I played Fallout 76 and cried...

Because when the big guns say the game ships friday, the game. ships. friday. And suddenly not doing your job well is the only way you get to keep your job. Because your boss is under pressure from the publisher, and the publishers are under pressure from the market, and the market is ALWAYS under pressure.

And that's why your elder scrolls or fallout game isn't that good— not because of a single guy with a mic, but because it turns out that capitalism gives no shits about artistic vision.

Nobody blames the Associate Producer (Mobile Games) position at Bethesda for making an Elder Scrolls mobile game. Nobody blames the random french Engine Programmer who works for Arkane Studios France for the buggy Bethesda engines. You get mad at Todd Howard, because Todd Howard is the guy you see. And when things fuck up, you blame the guy with the microphone and the big ideals.

It really ticks me off when people get mad at one specific aspect of game development for fucking up when in reality the problem with modern game development is that everybody is being pulled in a million directions at once— people are understaffed, underpaid, given minimal time, and forced to prioritize nonsense.
