To be fair those raids were easier than the Everquest poo poo most of the raiders came from Rathe was herding 72 gamers for four hours

Goa Tse-tung posted:Shadow Gambit is about Pirates, who the gently caress likes Pirates? yeah they did samurai originally and also revived the desperados old west ip for the same stealth gameplay. ultimately its gonna be hard to succeed if your very cool, deep, and fun gameplay becomes most known for keeping a time since last quick save timer on screen at all times because it revolves around trial and error and fiddly instructions to multiple characters for them to carry out in unison. that kinda project is going to be niche. its a bummer, i've loved all their work

It was half the fun of raiding in old school wow and also simultaneously the worst loving part of it Gearing somebody up to the hilt feels awesome even if it's not you reaping the rewards because it usually means next time is easier, smoother, faster, etc But looting and scooting is the worst thing to do, it's like robbing all the people you were playing with of all the contributions they made to your success It's kind of a metaphor for outsourcing when you think about it

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:NPR just ran a segment on how "six in ten Americans admit to quiet quitting, or only working enough to pass muster", so I guess we're going to keep pushing the narrative that satisfactory performance is as bad as giving up entirely into 2024. and the other 4 are lying to themselves

most dripped out ive ever been in a game was this hosed up morg (one m missing intentional ... not so massive) called xenimus where i got a 1-on-server armor from a server scale raid boss, here and i looked like this: and the game looked like THIS and i said thank you for your service pcis dont do it justice.. it looked sick in motion. lots of twinkling/sparkling. beautiful game... you could also drop gear on death, and die in .2 seconds. hardcore rear end game you paid the dev $5 per month to play. you could mail this guy cash. one time in high school i mailed him mixed ones and quarters in an envelope

Xaris posted:most successful influencer/streamer poo poo already came from vast wealth so probably not Some did but not most of them and not the most successful ones afaik. Maybe they came from middle class families but they weren’t already millionaires. In other news why Costco sucks. I’ve been eyeing a new oled tv and waiting for the superbowl sales. Today, Costco raised the prices on their TVs by $300-200 depending on size. It’s not a new model, it’s the same stock they had on Sunday but the prices went up today for “reasons”. I know they are going to all go on sale end of this month, beginning of next month and I’m willing to bet the sale price will be back to the pre-2024 price. These are tvs that will be phased out in a month or two so older models.

If you are legitimately good at a reasonably trendy game you can be popular off talent alone but usually that goes back to the final point of having the time to *get* good in the first place

Taylor Swift is a very talented entertainer but I have no doubt that having rich parents who directed all of their resources into getting her noticed helped a lot.

" Middle class kids can afford one throw. Most miss. A few hit the target and get a small prize. A very few hit the center bullseye and get a bigger prize. Rags to riches! The American Dream lives on. Rich kids can afford many throws. If they want to, they can try over and over and over again until they hit something and feel good about themselves. Some keep going until they hit the center bullseye, then they give speeches or write blog posts about "meritocracy" and the salutary effects of hard work. Poor kids aren't visiting the carnival. They're the ones working it."

A lot of the big names lived with their parents then hit it big when streaming blew up 10yrs ago and started making money off twitch. They didn’t need a lot of money to do it at first and didn’t have the setups they have now. They just steamed from their bedrooms at their parents’ home. I’d agree that now you would need a lot of money to break into it much like the music industry, Hollywood and competitive sports.

I haven't seen what I'd call an industry plant on twitch unless they were already famous like t-pain

And poor kids do go to the carnival, you don't often see rich people going there. I've never worked at a place of employment that had "entrepreneurs" or interacted with entrepreneurs so I can't really speak to that. what I have seen over and over is musicians from wealthy families buying world-class training, not having a day job ever, living in a city of their choice for as long as it suits them, flying to as many auditions as they want in any city they want. that's the "unlimited ring toss throws" analogy that seems to reasonably fit
