@zachery_delong it’s because most people don’t have much taste, so the spectacle games are a safe bet—however otoh Stardew Valley has sold 50 million copies or so

@b0rk there are exceptions of course but it’s weird how people now often use completely inappropriate frameworks without thinking about the actual type of website they’re building

@b0rk honestly everything past 2010 is mostly layer cakes with lots of complexity for little gain

especially as browsers can do so much now natively

@tehstu Stardew Valley was like one guy for years

IDK if you can’t make games without making unethical shortcuts (labor exploitation, never-ending crunch, AI plagiarism, etc.) because otherwise you’d need “300 Pepe and 7 years”, maybe work on making games that are better?

A lot of the really big games of the last decades were initially made by just a few people with really great basic game loops.

@MuseumJoe I keep asking Rufus to turn itself off but miraculously it never does

Fun fact, your computer doesn't have USB ports (USB is a protocol, not a connector).

Funner fact, even if your computer has USB-C receptacles it might not be using any type of USB as protocol for a specific connection.

Funnest fact, there's at least a dozen different types of cables that use USB-C plugs with various capabilities, sometimes mutually incompatible and often silently falling back to slower protocols.

No one ever planned anything bad with phone calls or email or IRC or text messages or internet forums or facebook or twitter or

@raymaccarthy my Apple laptop is similar, 1x headphone jack, 3x Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C), 1x SD card, 1x HDMI, 1x MagSafe charging (can also charge with USB-C)

btw Spotify Wrapped was invented and made by Black intern Jewel Ham who was subsequently not hired

@zkamvar Transparent yes in the 1980s, translucent colors first showed up mid-90s as far as I have researched it.

Possibly has to do with manufacturing limitations. There definitely was colorful acrylic in the 1980s, but I don't know about translucent plastics—from what I've read for the iMac they had to come up with entirely new materials.
