@Mr_NutterButter for real though his mom is french but he was born and raised in the states. his dad passed away when he was 10 due to alcoholism. he's got a medical condition where he's got a hole in his chest, like it's caved in there close to the heart, so he probably wasn't able to do contact sports. so he's got a mix of unfortunate childhood events and foreign culture affecting him.

he's also just a little weird in general, maayybbee on the spectrum. he reminds me a lot of a guy i know who had undiagnosed autism until he was like 23. i mean, you gotta' be somewhere on the spectrum to do some of the shit he does, like elden ring marathon streams where he's played for like 3 days straight except for sleeping (on stream).

@Mr_NutterButter gonna be real with ya dawg, i'm not watching a 2 hour video about someone i don't know by a youtube channel i don't watch >_<

@Mr_NutterButter he's french

@Fiddle major???

@Mr_NutterButter i guess that to me it just sort of feels like it has almost run its course at this point but i'm also sort of disconnected from that world.

@Seth_Wachhaltamittel i could barely find this video online elsewhere ;_;

iirc, they were all on a nico nico channel.

developers used to be so dedicated to what they were creating that they would practically live at the office. sleep under their desk. work like 18 hours a day on their shit. but now you have devs that complain about crunch and it's 100% because they aren't passionate about what they're creating. and that's not even necessarily their fault, a lot of it comes from the industry itself because making games isn't for fun anymore. it's for cash. even at the expense of brilliant minds. even at the expense of truly good games that will stand the test of time.

as a sidenote, i think this is part of what makes competitive smash so appealing to. none of these people are making any fucking money. other than like, the people who are sponsored you know. but the tournament winnings are paltry compared to other fighting games where the devs contribute money to them. fuck, nintendo borderline HATES competition for smash. yet they persist anyway because they just like playing the game, and they like competing in it. you know they have passion for what they're doing, it's just raw.

and this is kind of how i feel about my own game, too. i've poured so much of my life, time, and money into it that the money i stand to make doesn't matter much anymore. sure it would be cool to make a lot of money off of it, but i didn't set out to make a game that would earn me a shit ton of money. i wanted to make an RPG i would enjoy playing. something that i would be super proud of.

i think the main thing that separates games back then from games today is the money. you can tell when a game was made because someone wants to make a game versus when someone wants to make money off of a game, even if only subconsciously.

devs used to make money from their games because they were good, because they wanted to make a game that was awesome.

now, devs have all these ways to maximize profits on their games instead of just making a good game. and it works, they get more money, but they also spend more money, and slowly lose fans.

@Mr_NutterButter @MAGO5 i guess it's worth noting that valve didn't actually release information on this, it was all leaked, right? that means that anything we see isn't final. when a company puts out a trailer that is way more indicative of a final product. wouldn't make bigger judgements until then.

if it's true that they were influenced by sbi, hopefully they do reverse everything. but honestly i think this game is probably DOA anyway. is anyone really looking forward to another hero shooter? and is there anything else you can actually do with it beyond having different lore/aesthetics? unique indie games keep popping the fuck off and valve is still going after a hero shooter while they leave TF2 in the dust. doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

@Seth_Wachhaltamittel there were other videos of it that this guy made but i can't seem to find them anymore.

@Ronnie21093 i played it with my roommate for a couple of days and it was extremely forgettable, kind of boring. well put together i guess. i also don't really like MMOs though.

@deprecated_ii @Shadowman311 the plane was just kanna practicing her magic disguise skills

@Seth_Wachhaltamittel i love this little robot so much
