@coolboymew I'm so out of touch with modern games that I don't know the full extent of what you are talking about, but as a hobbyist gamedev, I do agree that balancing difficulty is hard. Unless you pay close attention, it's easy to make your game extremely easy or extremely hard.

Story Difficulty Mode is just a result of games prioritizing story over gameplay and now you have a bunch of casual gamers who enjoy games for their unique story telling and nothing more.

@coolboymew Just wait a few more days and you can experience a real-time dungeon crawling adventure with lives and permadeath.

I just created a website for Ioncom (my gamedev studio). Nothing much yet. Will get a proper domain soon.

@0vtcast @rlier23 That EMP would also wreck your DVD player, VCR, CD player, and cassette player, so that's a moot point.

@tinosoft Is it still airing on reruns?

@berkberkman I remembered that infamous gas scene. I thought that I was crazy for thinking that scene was real, but thank God for archival footage.

@0vtcast @rlier23 Digital media is still fine as long as it's DRM-free. They can't touch any of the MP3 files on my MP3 player for example. Streaming services are the only problem here.

So I just learned that the Spongebob episode where Spongebob and Patrick tried to get Mr. Krabs to feel young again is not on Paramount+ and has also been taken off of re-run circulation on Nick because the episode featured a "panty raid".

I've also learned that many episodes of 90s and 2000s TV shows have been taken out of circulation and off streaming services because they used the word "gypped".

I'm so fucking sick and tired of this bullshit. I would have never thought that early 2000s humor or media that used certain words, even taken in a non-derogatory context would be on the same level as racist cartoons from the 1950s.
