@iamharaldur It's the texture. Apples have F tier texture, which is why they're only really edible when cooked to a mush.

@CaseyExplosion I finally got around playing Chained Echoes and it's really, really good! Been also enjoying some Deadlock here and there, but team games always devolve into toxicity so not looking forward to that.

If you see this tweet, tell me about a game you're enjoying lately

I've played a lot of video games in my lifetime. And only 3 come even close to being near perfect: - Hades (and if they keep the current trajectory, Hades 2) - Balatro - Slay the Spire Are they the best video games of all time? Nah. They're surely in the list though.

Nothing will ever top this. It's joever.

Whoever taught designers that disabling a form'a submit button was a good idea should rot in hell.

@GergelyOrosz Soft launch, checking market fit before tying their brand more permanently to it? I would 100% expect it to be re-branded to a stripe product if it takes off.

The reason I don't get why Stripe distances itself from this new brand is that it competes with: Apple Pay (I trust Apple) Shop Pay (I know Shopify, trust them) Google Pay (I know what to expect, trust them) Klarna (know who they are, trust them) .... Link (no idea, don't trust)

One-click checkout startups crashed and burned: Fast went bankrupt, and Bolt is a fraction of its former valuation and size. And yet, I am starting to see this thing called "Link" on so many checkout forms. What is this company, and how are they everywhere? And how?

@no_genius @Oda_CM @BRKeogh Because "engagement". The idea is that with infinitely evolving lore from AI generated bullshit, you'll have infinite content and therefore can finally fulfil the dream of infinite money out of a single game live services exist for".

@Blitz_DotA Maybe you need a general manager? I hear @Gorgc was open to the position.

Think everyone is disappointed in the result, thats now 3 dreamleagues in a row that have gone to shit. Will try our best to make sure it's not a common reoccurrence going forward, sorry for fans that support us rn, we'll bounce back I promise. #EslProTour #RoadToRiyadh

Hardest quiz of my life. And I failed.

Schnitzel is a bottom tier breaded meat, sorry not sorry DACH.

Just found out Kamen Rider has changed every couple years since 1970, making it basically Japan's Doctor Who. Who would've thunk.

'But they have to eliminate Hamas'. Do you think the British would have been justified in carpet bombing Belfast for three months, murdering 20k (mostly women & kids) & ethnically cleansing all the nationalists in order to eliminate the IRA? No? That's because you're racist.

JS framework authors have this kink about dunking on React's performance, where 1 in every 5000 use cases actually would ever care about it. "Our paradigm is a bit wonky and our ecosystem isn't great, but look at this perf" isn't the great marketing campaign you think it is.

@BriannaWu I don't really mind paying more though, the artistry behind some games deserves it and video games are by far the most cost effective hobby in terms of the hours of entertainment you get per dollar.

@BriannaWu Problem is, they'll raise prices AND STILL sell unfinished games with season passes and DLC. If we could somehow ensure publishers charge more and actually sell us finished, well crafted products, that would be great. Won't happen tho.

Correct. The budgets of games have exploded. That is somewhat offset by the rise in number of gamers, but that just means everything must be a massive hit to break even. That means less risk, less innovation, and more season pass garbage crammed in.

@GergelyOrosz I'm not so sure about this. Even in a year where Figma took off as the absolute owner of the space, Adobe's subscription revenue grew by a lot. Points to the fact that most of their revenue doesn't come from products competing with Figma.

On the short-term, this is a big loss for employees whose stock would have been liquid. On the longer run: Figma could easily bigger than Adobe in, say, 10 years. Adobe knew this. It’s why they were willing to pay so much ($20B) for the company dominating collaborative design.

There is absolutely no way a human, professional writer was in any way shape or form involved in the latest batch of @netflix christmas movies. They're all the kind of non-sensical mess that AI would come up with.

Imagine if companies got their reputation actually tarnished for doing layoffs in the name of corporate greed. If they'd lose access to top talent because of it. There'd be at least a discussion of trade-offs in terms of longer term growth at the board meeting.

The problem with tech companies doing big layoffs for "reasons" is that they're never held accountable. In fact, C suites get rewarded for this because profits increase and when they're ready to hire again 1 month later, people apply to these jobs.
