Like surely we recognize there are more important plot points to be expanding on rn and this will come at some point. They're already giving crumbs.

I'm inclined to believe the mountain dew rebrand was not a quirky refresh but rather an excuse to stop producing the unique MD bottles after pepsi lost several billion dollars

@VitalVegas It’s impossible to escape weed. I’d rather be in a bar that allows cigarette smoking than behind a car with a hot-boxing driver.

@KanekoaTheGreat just connected an X account (@cforce3000) to last night’s would-be assassin Cole Allen. I’ve been digging further and found multiple other gaming/social accounts tied to variations of that same username. At least one of them directly lists that X handle in their bio links. Accounts on Roblox, YouTube, Twitch, and Chess.com.

This was the rudest of the replies to me saying Double Kick is a low ROI feature. But since there were plenty of people who seemingly think they know how these things work, let me put y'all on some game real quick. There are two simple issues at play. 1) ROI - Double kick sounds simple, doesn't it? NOPE. First, you'd have to reauthor the songs with double kick pedals. That isn't free, and that team is a fixed size, so that work would mean less new songs in the game for a feature only a small sliver of folks would use. So you are already negatively impacting revenue, but let's say we don't care and do it anyways. Well, now you need to go and add code to detect the pedals, and settings code to remap the pedals, and you gotta figure out whether it is now a new set of leaderboards, or the old set of leaderboards. You gotta figure out what to do if someone wants to play that on a single pedal, but use the double pedal chart, etc. etc. So yeah, your simple feature that is in other games is not so simple to build. Between UI and engineering, it is a non-trivial amount of time. 2) Opportunity cost - Even when a feature is "cheap" it isn't free. And sometimes the cost isn't what it cost to make, it is what it means you couldn't make. This is opportunity cost. Now, you know all those CRKD and PDP controllers that are on the market? You can thank the audience Festival built for that. Those new games? Thank Festival twice, because not only has it created a new set of players, those games don't have to worry about making instruments and carrying the inventory risk that killed rhythm games the first time. Festival expanded the audience. That's why it is important. Having the team work on niche features to stamp out Messugah songs for a subset of players probably small enough to fit into a tiny bar, when the actual opportunity is to continue to expand the audience... Great idea if you want the rest of the Festival team to get laid off. The business case around drums was tough enough. The "five fret community" or the rhythm game community, is not just listeners of the Lore Hero podcast. It is large, diverse, and needs to keep expanding to keep rhythm games around. So when people like Acai say "WE NEED", it is important for the teams making games to really think about who "WE" actually are and whether there are more pressing "NEED(s)". Pushing for niche features is fine - it's just a player expressing a desire that they genuinely hold. But for those making the game, the responsibility is keep the ecosystem healthy, not just one very small corner of it. That way, games that do focus on that corner can actually thrive, because the rising tide lifts all boats. Just look online - WAY more posts about Vocals than Pro Drums because it reaches a way broader set of players. So yeah, you can get mad at me for saying that what Acai wants is Low ROI and there are better things for the team to build, but I'm not wrong. (Also, @gozfrt may have an incurable armpit rash, which is why they are so irritable... ALLEGEDLY. :) )

@synaesthesiajp @StacheTwenty4 its obvious why you got fired from epic. Drummers will ALWAYS be smallest playercount by a lot. Not everyone will afford a expensive drumkit or drum controller. Its obvious. But FNF "hardest core players" is 5fret community which is more valuable than brainrot tiktok players

@_Playrax_ and no one asked you either, thats kinda how social media works. JP worked at Epic/Harmonix for nearly 5 years. This isnt just "some mf that doesnt work on the game anymore". He was a lead producer at epic leading the team behind Festival, you should listen to him.

@RyanWGleason @synaesthesiajp @StacheTwenty4 Didn't ask you homie, you didn't contribute anything, congratulations. Id love to know what would really be holding them back if it's such a tall ask. Charting itself wouldn't be the issue, I doubt adding a menu option is it, maybe engine tweaks are needed?

@synaesthesiajp @StacheTwenty4 Personally I don't think an extra chart on select songs (+ the menu option to select it) is that crazy of an investment. Could be coming from a place of ignorance on game development but it's a chart not a whole new feature.

@StacheTwenty4 No. A double bass pedal feature that would probably be used by less people than fit into a small bar is not work the money and opportunity cost it would need to develop. Classic case of “your hardest core players aren’t actually your full audience; just a part of it.”

If this truly is Enjin, then covering up his arms in retaliation of forgetting that place makes sense, it seems that place branded all the kids with a similar tattoo, this place also looks like a type of orphanage, it possibly harboring something darker within...
