Life is just one big clicker. What is life if the numbers don’t go up?
Blasting is okay, so long as no one got slammed. Decorum demands we draw a line somewhere!
Modern media is so savage using such language such as “slammed” “destroyed” etc.

What grotesquerie have our hands wrought?
I just want the macOS version of DF Steam. I bought that like two years ago when it came out to support.
All the layoffs were inevitable with the extremely obvious bubble in any computer related jobs. Same as dotcom bubble with a bunch of superfluous hires for superfluous tasks and ridiculous budgets that were not going to pan out. So yes now we’ll have tons of unemployed programmers and art departments from companies overhiring for at least a decade.
I love dwarf fortress, but it easy to throw stones when your company consists of two people.
It’s a bit more than that with Kitfox involved, but I don’t see why that makes him wrong. Greed kills a ton of creativity in games. Not just layoffs but over aggressive monetization and fear of innovation.
there’s a reason his company is still two people dawg.
I know little about the game industry. I saw one person say it’s because of the high interest rates. Games cost so much to produce, they have to borrow most of it and the rates have screwed them.
No idea if thats true.
Giant companies can’t use profit from the last game they made to fund the next one?
Profit? Or exploit?
I think you need to look at most companies. They are heavily in debt. So the profits just Ktlo and keep the payment paid.
