@Gatitasecsii inflation + bigger games + bigger teams + bigger budgets = higher price.

i'm of the opinion that games need to be drastically scaled down and a lot of the industry needs to be cut with a focus on smaller, tighter experiences. that's kind of what indie games are for, though.

as far as nintendo goes, i guess we'll have to wait and see if $80 is really worth it for mario kart or not. it doesn't seem like they have shown that much of it. there could be another situation like tears of the kingdom where the depths weren't talked about at all, they were just in the game for players to find. personally, i know i will get $80 worth of mario kart world either way, just because i am a huge mario kart fan and will likely play it for hundreds of hours, but if other people don't think that then i guess we will see a change in direction.

i do know that with how many people already don't want to buy a lot of AAA games at $70 or even $60 (or in the case of something like concord, even $40), with tons of studios closing down because of it. things are going to be accelerating faster now with the game industry i think, if these companies are really going to try pushing for their shitty games to be $80 without a huge change to every facet of development.

@Ghislaine @nicholas @caekislove it can be nice for more niche things though, because you can pretty much guarantee there will be a discord for it and someone in there who can answer your oddly specific question, and much faster too.

@Tony shoppin
Then doin some D&D stuff for the session on Friday
If I got time I might play some vidya or fuck around with some drawing or something

Every time I want to get some fucking support for software that I use, they're like "Just join our Discord!" (link doesn't fucking work)

@Ghislaine back in like 2010 I actually had a wait time of infinity on a download once. It was still downloading too, just extremely slowly to the point where I guess it gave up trying to calculate the time.

Alright, going to get groceries (isn't that a lovely word, groceries?) and then I'm gonna figure out this feywild shit. I know there is a lot of wild magic there. Plan is to throw the party into a battle immediately with a bunch of fey creatures and a lot of wild magic happening.

@ninja8tyu @djsumdog I am honestly bemused by the obsession with terraforming Mars. One of the major problems with offworld colonization is lack of sufficient gravity. We know that mammals can not properly reproduce without enough gravity, and Mars' gravity is likely not sufficient. The best place outside of Earth that has near-Earth gravity and would be the best for long term human colonization is *Venus*, specifically high up in the atmosphere where the temperature and pressure are almost identical to Earth. Aside from the effective rotation time (day/night cycle), it's almost exactly the same except for atmospheric composition. However, our atmosphere of nitrogen/oxygen is a lifting gas and would be at equilibrium. You could have floating cloud cities if you got an outershell resistant to the sulfuric acid clouds. The best part of this is that these floating cities are already technologically feasible.
