I see no mention of Starsector, there should be mention of Starsector.

Try Starsector.

The only thing possibly holding them off is that there's 2 or 3 factions all wanting to long knife™ eachother at the first chance, which means they have to be ready to go as soon as the power vacuum happens, and one of the factions controls the VP seat.

That might delay the chaos a bit, but not for long.

Yep. I played an earlier version but it's the same game.

The key thing that made me notice was the scarecrow cards that allowed you to pick up your units, those make sense in Condottiere as it's divided in rounds where you fight multiple battles, so it made sense to pick up your units if you had excess power and were winning anyway, save your strength for the next battle in the round, whereas it made a lot less sense in Gwent given its 1v1 nature and fixed amount of rounds.

Mind you Gwent evolved a lot afterwards, I don't know much beyond the witcher 3 version, which I still enjoyed plenty.

Gwent is actually a slight hack of an existing board game called Condottiere, which is IMO the better game.

Cause that's not how salaries work?

Salaries grow because people negotiate for better salaries, either through collective action or by being indispensable and getting better offers, not by magic.

The game industry is full of wannabes chomping at the bit to get in, so maybe seniors can hope to haggle for a higher cut or become partners of a studio, everyone else is entirely replaceable, which means their salaries will grow extremely slowly already.

Add to that that the industry selects for financially stable/affluent croney kids by using unpaid internships to filter anyone who would be overly dependent on their salary and basically select for rich "starving" artist types and you have a recipe for a ridiculously strong buyer's market when it comes to salaries.

Yeah, sales have also gone way up.

I have a mole on the top of my head, multi blade razors glide over it, my safety razor is how i found out I had it: sharp pain and suddenly being covered in so much blood I could smell it.

So yeah knoblliness should not be overlooked.

Truly a fate worse than death.

1. programming doesn't mean you have a high IQ, I should know, I'm a pro and I've worked with some absolute dullards
2. high IQ doesn't mean you're not a dumbass, I should know, i have 123 iq and am a dumbass.
3. free online tests are always bullshit, the only reputable ones are paid
4. how old are you that you're worrying about this and who put this moronic worry into you?

That's very neat then, you'd probably get sued anyway cause companies don't care, but it does make me want to make a game like that and see what happens.

My dude, the world isn't only about you.

It's not about you and your inferiority complex, either.

You're much closer to ending up on the street than you are from any billionaire that exists.

I'm also much closer to the center of the earth than the sun, I'm still quite far from either, and I'm not very worried about being near either anytime soon.

Short of world war 3 or some other world-shaking catastrophe that won't be my problem alone, I'm pretty sure my biggest worries are my health and not getting hit by a car, rather than sudden bankruptcy, and I don't live in the US so the former can't lead to the latter.

Now off to the block list you go, people like you don't deserve anyone's attention.

You're not a plane, you don't need to announce your departure.

That seems to be wrong at least according to the ESA.

The software itself is copyrighted, the invention is patented, either way the Nemesis system seems to be protected in europe.

Implying I care LMAO

I'm more than economically comfortable, by no means a billionaire but I'm not hurting like, at all. I own my own home, I am set to inherit like 2 more houses, I make good money at a stable job, I have time for my hobbies and a family I love.

I want for nothing that I can't have, with some patience.

Gaben having a Yacht collection makes no difference to me, Steam existing and Valve doing what they do does, so I am happy to see them thrive.

Not everyone is an envious crab in a bucket who feels the constant need to compare themselves to others and ensure nobody is more well off than they are.

What a sad life you must lead that you get this angry over something that doesn't affect you in the least, or did Gabe outbid you on your dream yacht?

You realize that the cut they’re taking ends up being used to pay for a yacht collection, right?

God forbid a man spend his money however he wants. Get that commie bullshit out of here.

Money changes hands consensually and Gaben/Valve have more than earned mine. Treating your customers like they are your priority in running a service will do that.

There’s nothing great about Valve at this point

Except their massive contributions to the Open Source/Linux ecosystems with Vulkan and Proton, SteamVR being the only properly supported agnostic VR library, and them basically being the one thing between us and Microsoft becoming a walled garden when it comes to gaming, and more recently the Steam Deck?

If you gotta be a hater, at least be correct.

Anyone who would complain about game design has already stopped buying or caring about Ubisoft products years ago.

You should have capitalized one of the two so they would be case-sensitively different but parse the same, another thing to get used to on linux.

you'll get to see the difference between a bad and discriminatory democracy and a pure dictatorship soon enough.

The former elected to enfranchise the aforementioned blacks, the latter is deporting people on a hunch, for instance.

Man, the hidden upside of Europe being largely deforested: not enough wood to build houses with.

Only the inner frames are wood here and still covered in plaster wall and such. Most parts of my house are not flammable, let alone a fire hazard.

Depends on where you live, I literally never met a person whose house burned down, but our houses are not mostly wood.
