Keep Moving Forward

Somehow, this reminded me of Australia and its first female Prime Minister, Julia Gillard. Moving Forward was her 2010 election slogan.

Also, if it's Spelunky, you totally should move forward through the spikes. Jumping and falling on them is what's gonna kill you.

Hey not to be an asshole but this forum is kinda dead, could you guys reccomend some active social hangouts (in forum form) that you like? My topics of interest are: Idle chitchat, pixel art, music composing, casual game making.

Even if I knew of another forum like this one I wouldn't direct you there. I'd direct people who are there to this one.


^THIS.

Turned 20 on the 20th

Thanks, everyone!

I “baked” you a cake.



But Happy Birthday there, NTC3. Hope you had a good 4/ 20th. :)


Oh, yeah, I learned about that tradition of yours last year, hehe. Never cared for weed myself, but I'm totally fine if others like it, and people here have similar attitudes, from what I can tell. And yeah, it was pretty good.

What are your opinions on the recent Yooka-Laylee controversy?

@Corfaisus

Yeah, this kind of stuff is offf-putting, and why I tend to not pay much attention to YouTube as a social phenomenon (as opposed to platform for music & trailers.) Right now, I only follow Jim Sterling for the dark side of Steam, BaerTaffy for DD playthroughs, + a few microchannels (1-7k) out of solidarity for featuring RM games. However, I know that YouTubers are hugely important to a game's success (Steamspy's creator confirmed a while ago that YouTube exposure correlates with sales more then either user or critical acclaim (i.e. high userscore/Metascore)), so I guess that in today's market, this relative disinterest is almost a luxury that no dev can afford if they are to go commercial.

Спасибо!

Still considering trying to go commercial at some point maybe soon

Noooooo. Resist the dark side. The cookies are a lie. Keep your games accessible and fun for all.
Think about yourself on your deathbed. Do you want to reminisce about how your games were played and enjoyed by tens or hundreds of thousands, even millions, or would you rather remember how you earned a month's wages from something you poured a year into and maybe a few thousand people played it?


I admire your spirit. However, Steam's sheer size (or RMN's relative obscurity, if you are a glass half empty type) often (though by no means always) makes this a false dichtonomy (as far as player numbers are concerned, that is), if Steamspy is to be believed. Perhaps we'll make a great leap forward eventually to the point where this won't be the case (the reason I persist with reviews and occasional TVTropes activity for RM games), but it'll be a while before that happens.

@Uni I certainly wish you success if/when you do go for it! Without knowing more, that's probably all I can definitely say at this point.

What are your opinions on the recent Yooka-Laylee controversy?

When I clicked on this status, I actually thought it was about Jim Sterling giving it 2/10. Otherwise, I don't care, since I literally haven't heard of JonTron before this thing happened, and I still haven't seen a single one of his videos.

As for the "sick society" thing... it's actually perfectly in line with the "elite overproduction" theory of Turchin, the creator of cliodynamics approach to sociology. Basically, as the inequality rises, being seen as the elite becomes a lot more important and more people strive to do so, meaning that there are several "potential elites" for every person actually seen as elite in their field, and so this both feeds into "anti-establishment" revolts, and itensifies pressure on existing elites in any given field to fail, in the hope they can be replaced. Recent elections have shown it doesn't actually take all that much capability to be elected US governor or president. Similarly, both the myriad of aspiring YouTubers and many people in "normal" jobs think professional YouTubers' success is random and they are eminently replaceable, so they do not mind seeing them fail once a good reason for it appears.

Now Playing on your music playlist....


Ancient Space OST appears really underrated.

Oh shit, it's my birthday today!

Yay, happy birthday to you!

So, a terrorist attack just happened in my city

Thank you all for your support! I've actually had to take a tram soon after writing this. There were extra above-ground public transport vehicles on the streets to compensate for the entire metro network being shut down (for good reason, since they found several additional bombs there). All the working public transport was also made free. There were the people who didn't yet know, and were confused by this sudden generosity, with no-one inside having the heart to explain what happened...

At least, they seem to have already identified the person responsible (a suicide bomber) so that's something.
