Of course, I am not asserting any superiority. I am just a buy one-play one, indie-loving guy.

What mostly stops me from buying titles I don’t play directly is going through the list of all the other things I may need/want to buy with the same money.

Regarding the most, category/publisher sales are back-to-back in between the seasonal ones, so yes, I think they are most of them.

I will save your nick in a list.

To me, it is. Just shy to share something definitely only half-done, when it is my first ever programming project.

I am trying to give it a publicly acceptable form in Streamlit before sharing it. Bare with me, it is my first ever programming endeavour and I remained without a mentor half-way into it.

On Steam there are category sales much more often (right now TPS Fest).

I buy at historical lows via Isthereanydeal any time of the year anyway.

And just like weight and fashion changes for shirts, I may change my schedule and interests not to fit games I bought years ago.

I have only 200something titles across my GOG and Steam libraries and I have played all of them and finished 90% at least.

I may be from another generation (I am in my 40s), but I don’t get the point of spending money on a title I don’t know if I will have ever time or interest to play.

Also, this feeds stale mechanics, since most titles are bought in bulk during sales that are usually centered around game categories.

I built a small python app to use howlongtobeat, steam data and isthereanydeal to select the best next title for me to play in terms of price per hour and (steamdb-style) rating.

These days I am looking at their video on their channel on Rumble while working. I think they are achieving financial and political pressure in the most wholesome way possible.

That said, I don’t think I am going to click on anything else on Rumble, as it is all Tucker Calson, bitcoin and other shit like that. I don’t see any future in it; it has achieved Dailymotion status in no time.

I really understand this is a reality, especially in the US, and that this is really happening, but is there really no one, even around the world, who is taking advantage of laid-off skilled workforce?

Are they really all going to end up as pizza riders or worse, or are there companies making a long-term investment in workforce that could prove useful for different uses in the short AND long term?

I am quite sure that’s what Novo Nordisk is doing with their hire push here in Denmark, as long as the money lasts, but I would be surprised no one is doing it in the US itself.

That’s when we come onto the scene.

I am continuously “translating” news and opinions from here on LinkedIn. Already got banned from a professional Slack that contains most people in my industry for saying in a private conversation that I like watermelon.

Not gonna stop. People are not politically inclined because we kept our knowledge to ourselves for too long.

I must say that, as a European using a Firefox fork for my daily browsing while waiting for Ladybird, I don’t see that outcome as completely negative: Google, somehow, in America has kept a completely unjustified good vibes feeling surrounding itself, while Thiel is much more evil in the public eye.

If Chrome is associated with him in anyway it can become a more lucid image of itself.
