“Indie” is a very nebulous term regardless of the medium. “Indie rock” is a sound now. “Indie movie” is a style/genre now. “Indie game” is definitely a style.

also, who is being dramatic blah blah I’m a contrarian

The dude above me literally said that if you don’t use Twitter you might lose your house. Are you being serious right now?

so are you saying they don’t like the genre of indie games or that they don’t like independent studios?

Plenty of people make plenty of money and have plenty good careers without ever making a twitter account.

Sometimes doing the right thing is hard. Twitter became worth leaving a long time ago but anyone who is still on after the changes over the last 6-9 months just doesn’t value their time enough. It’s a self-respect issue. Like people who still moderate on Reddit after Steve and co made it crystal clear how much disdain they hold for their moderators and users 2 summers ago.

There are very few people/businesses/things that will fail simply because they leave twitter - you are being dramatic and you know it. And let’s also not fail to realize that if your life or livelihood depends on Twitter to succeed, you are tied to a really sick horse and one day you’re just going to fail. You better look for a second option starting today. But again, there are very few people who absolutely depend on Twitter in the first place. To argue it’s that critical is ridiculous.

The nostalgia was also a lot of games that have languished lol it just reminded me how many games Sony has abandoned or lost the thread of.

It Takes Two won 2 years ago.

Man people in this thread really excited for a free pass to be racist towards Chinese people lol

Nah. You either do the right thing and lose a little exposure or you stick with it and accept that you’re a part of Elon Musk’s political machine.

Blue Sky is a perfectly viable alternative. Hell half the podcast I listen to now rattle off their blue sky now instead of Twitter. The seas are shifting and there is plenty to gain over there. Leave Twitter. Blue Sky is not perfect by any stretch but it’s a hell of a lot better.

Exactly you never actually commit to any sort of wager or even an imitation of financial risk.

You’re giving the people handling hiring way too much credit and assuming they are way better about documentation than they generally are lol

That’s a rather uncharitable, and frankly conspiratorial, way of viewing things lol

Fuck off I have kids, lived in the 90’s, and even I recognize Christmas vacation. Haven’t seen it in its entirety, but I am familiar with it as a cultural touchstone and seen chunks over the years because it was a common rerun. Hence why most people get this meme.

It’s not a crime to not recognize a movie but don’t throw down “as a PARENT I am too BUSY to watch movies” while you indignantly post on a niche web forum about how “you were there so you know” as if that is any more valid than an out context meme.

Man I thought you knew that algebra was all razzmatazz!

“Google it” is not an acceptable answer you’re better off just not commenting.

I’m assuming this is a joke considering Apple dropped that mouse many years ago lol

Interesting I would think that would be more tied to smart phone usage as opposed to specific operating systems but I guess that’s not the case

Yeah tinkering with my Mac is what got me over to Linux as well. Yeah with Macs some things are locked down or a little tricky to find, but with windows nothing makes any sense to me and I feel like I’m constantly fighting it.

Mac users really struggle to understand the concept of local files without being shown

Of all the critiques of Mac users’ computer literacy I’ve seen this doesn’t even seem to me like it’d make the list.

To be clear I am not saying you are wrong or don’t know what you’re talking about or something. I am just genuinely surprised to see that and I’m curious what you mean. I assume I’m just unaware of the issue.
