And that’s when everyone else goes… “to the moooooon!” 🐄🚀🌛

Thank you!

Immortals of Aveum launched in August 2023 amidst one of the busiest years of game releases in history, bookended by behemoths like Diablo 4, Starfield, and Baldur’s Gate 3. Ascendant Studios’ self-styled “Call of Duty with magic” experiment was compelling enough, and I personally think it deserved more attention, but it ultimately missed EA’s expectations by enough of a margin that about 45% of the studio’s workforce was laid off shortly after release.

Oof! That must be hard to stomach. Knowing it’s actually a quality product, but because the stars didn’t line up, you are let go…

You just don’t have the login to it.

Nice.

Sid Meiers’ Civilization wonder completion vibes intensify.

That was really cool!

Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow! Thanks for the recommendation. This game does look like a tone of fun (although I suspect a steep learning curve).

The 25 vs 25 video really impressed me!

I will definitely give it a try. 👍🏻

That’s just comparing two arbitrary numbers in a vacuum.

😂 Nice

I read the article and I have no idea what you are referring to. I think the author layed out their reasoning pretty…

Oh wait. You didn’t put the /s at the end, but it was implied?

Is it woosh over my head, or you not making sense? (no offense)

Thank you for including those links. I especially liked this part of the conclusion:

So the transformation from capitalism to socialism requires political action by the working class, in order that it can establish structures necessary for the transition to socialism. Just as the merchant class during feudalism could discern its long-range interests in the full realization of factory production, the working class must discern its interest in the full emancipatory implications of automated industry. And just as the merchant class became a revolutionary bourgeoisie, the working class must become a revolutionary class that acts politically to establish a new type of society on a foundation of automated industry.

If anyone is curious, it’s a short read and a good overview.

…but it’s a start. And it will have a bigger impact than if there was no penalty at all. 🤷

Lol. You can even see a little tail sticking out on the left. 😁

Anyway, congrats Japan! Hope the landing goes without a hitch.

OMG! Really excited for this!

I just looked it up, and they even have full audio in French, for anyone who grew up with Goldorak in the ‘80s! 😀 (italian too, for anyone interested).
