Eh.
Looking through Danish new sites (Dr.dk, Information, Politiken), there is not a single headline about this. I'm curious as to why, and what the angle will be, whenever we get any domestic news on it.
In principle, I think this is a good thing, and something we should have done a long time ago. However, our current PM (Mette Frederiksen) has a history of promising the moon and then never actually getting around to delivering on it, so I'm kind of half-way expecting this to mean "we'll establish a comittee that'll start an investigation into what we can send and when we can send it" and then it'll take them a year or more to figure out the logistics of it, at which point it might be too late.
I should be excited about this, but I am so jaded by our politicans complete lack of interest in anything else than playing the game and staying in power that I struggle to be.
Ohhhh interesting.
Several things spring to mind.
- Lore! I've play Space Exploration, the mod which creator (Earendel) Wube hire before announcing Space Age, and one of the most noticeable things about it their willingness to introduce more lore and environmental storytelling into the game. It's not much, but even just letting the player discover that there's a wreck of an orbital platform waiting to be be explored is enough to start building picture of the fact that something happened prior to your arrival. I see the threads to this FFF, and I'm excited.
- Wube definitely seem to be getting creative with the... Cinematography? If you can call it that? In this post. This is the most narratively driven thing I've seen coming out for Wube yet, and this may be me extrapolating, but I've got a feeling that Wube will be dipping their toes into something more story driven in the near future. I don't know if it's just for Space Age, or if it's indicative of future projects, but it's certainly interesting to see.
Analysis complete.
There is partial corruption in the platforms meme-templates as well as complete corruption in most of the platforms moderation mechanisms.

Farewell, Lemmys. Your bravery is admirable, for such flawed creatures.

Tencent own preference stock. They could sell their stock, which could potentially harm the company, but they hold no voting rights and carry no decision making power.
I am not a fan of China, nor Tencent, but spewing bile without understanding the context does NOT help this discourse.

Can we talk about how well he fits on Gortash?
Not vegetarian? How?
Hi.
Ex game dev here who jumped ship and is now doing VR training stuff for a big medical company.
I don't regret it one bit. You definitely lose some of the spirit and excitement of working with people who are super excited to make the fun games they grew up playing, but on the flip side, if you've been in the industry long enough to have 18 years under your belt, you've probably had enough of that excitement to see the bad sides of it.
By far the nicest thing about being in an industry that isn't entertainment is that the success of the "product" you're making is so much easier to define than "is this fun" or "will this help playing retention". I can't describe how nice it is to have actual users instead of players, and UX'ers who to come tell me what people want. Sure, it might not be as fun as games, but to be honest, I'm OK with that. I get vastly better pay, better work life balance, and most importantly, a complete lack of any kind of game director whose vision I must try to make real.
Dear, oh dear. What was it? The Money? The Fame? Or the Copyright? Oh, it doesn't matter... It always comes down to the Hunter's helper to clean up after these sort of messes.
I think there are two age groups of Fallout players. Those who started with the original games, and those who started with Fallut 3.
I'm young enough to have started with 3. I did go back and play the original two, and I absolutely see what you mean. New Vegas was somewhat better, despite still being a shooter, probably owing to the fact that it was written and designed by the remnants of the people who worked at Interplay when they made Fallout.
What about a technology permit, so you're only allowed to develop technologized products if you get a permit from the Ministry of Proprietary Technology.
