It's the question.

Lately I've been thinking about how you'd design a racing sim that rewards and gamifies clean racing but the basic answer is that you'd have to set it in world so different from our autoracing history and technology that you'd lose 75% of your player base who are mostly interested in real cars (the same way FIFA games appeal to people who want the real players, and don't actually care about the game design of football).

On PS5 there's platform native 'Accolades' where you can rate the people you've played with, but Bruce I never play the kinds of games that they're designed for I have no idea if they're used or how they even work. The point being though even Sony were trying to approach this topic at an OS/ecosystem level.

That would be huge

I went to check my lemmy on my browser and it was just jacked full of meme pages amd subreddit clones that I'd blocked on my mobile client

If you're happy to pay whatever it costs to host then there's no other disadvantage to this.

The only thing I can think of is if you somehow end up at odds with an admin of a big instance and they defederate your instance. Or perhaps in the future major instances decide to only federate with instances of a certain size, for some as of now unpredictable reason

That's because standards changed

Awards are special actions reserved for people who pay, that don't improve the platform anyway. It's enshittification.

Complain about things.

Unless it's something you can keep lighthearted, and maybe make a point with in a funny way. But just bitterly bitching about something in your life is probably the worst (normal) thing you can do. That or treat service staff badly.

He's a great developer and a shitty producer. When he's in charge of his own projects there's nobody holding him accountable and it just spirals into madness and then halfway through when all the hard and fun work of really designing the game is complete, and all that's left is the boring business of production and finishing the damn thing, he just ADHDs off into the distance chasing the next cool idea/design challenge

Somehow he's able to keep funding that arrangement, so it hasn't changed.

The winner of the cube game got to be the "god" of Peters next game which was an MMO-like thing. Only after he won his prize the studio kind of forgot about it and just moved on so he never really won anything

There's a really good piece about it but I don't recommend reading it, it's just frustrating and predictablely shitty behaviour

No not yet, there's no synchronous multiplayer on Switch

On this subject, my personal definition for millennial is someone in the age bracket where they had to teach themselves how to use windows as a kid

I don't think it's in its final form.

It's obvious that brands and influencers were offered the chance to be pre-verified and, while I haven't seen direct evidence myself, the word is that they could get some kind of FB/insta promotional discounts by being there to post on day 0 with a witty canned line about how great it was to be on threads

So when the app opened to the masses, they don't have to follow anybody or wait for their friends before it had "value". They open it up and there are a bunch of brands and "personalites" making it looking like it's already alive and the place to be

The other stuff will probably come later... although there's the chance that they're going after tiktoks model of "we know what you want"
