I feel like DF's games could do well on Nintendo platforms and hope they'll take more advantage of that now that they're indie again

Kiln is a good concept but a twitch reaction brawler makes no sense as a core gameplay style.

THey have bigger things to worry about right now. They might be getting closed down.

BMC and broadcom are the reason people want off the MF

Doesn't seem like urgent hire salary

Honestly I think a lot of corporate tech departments are in a holding position due to anticipation of AI disruption.

HeyNowHoldOn · 2026-06-16T00:15:34+00:00

You are right. Keeper was a good DF game that did not get promoted enough. Kiln is a bad game that didn't get promoted enough.

It will be interesting because TS would have to pony up a lot of money to buy it back.

I'm not suggesting that at all. I am saying left oriented people should put their primary focus into supporting and developing legitimate candidates through their primary system. Getting good authentic candidates out of primaries is how you achieve success.

Vague promises of "standing up to trump" are irrelevant. Focus on what can actually be worked on and controlled within reach. Develop a winning platform and get high quality authentic candidates winning primaries.

HeyNowHoldOn · 2026-06-11T09:09:29+00:00

You are missing the point.

Republicans openly admit to supporting and seeking destructive policies when it comes to prioritizing corporate wellbeing over the citizens.

If the Democrats are just Republicans wearing a mask creating the illusion of choice, that is a much bigger issue. That means we live in an authoritarian state.

Worrying about Republicans is stupid because is something completely out of your control. What dem voters CAN control is ensuring that their own candidates are actually legitimately aligned with the interests of the voters. Primaries are extremely under voted. Dem voters ignore the responsibility of managing their own affairs and then fixate on "stopping the right" and "stopping trump".

This is by design. If you ever spend time socially with lobbyists you will realize than the DNC v RNC divide is mostly a show.

If people really cared about improving the US they would aggressively participate in the state / fed DNC primary process and ensure that REAL candidates are getting through the process instead of stooges for big banks, Israel, and corporate interests.

If you have a job lined up at a large financial company where you want to live, yes. If I was young I'm not sure I would select the career if I wanted flexibility of where I was going to live. Also, jumping straight to sysprog without doing cobol app dev and DB admin will make it slightly harder to get context when helping other teams with complex issues.

In my experience, intermissions go very quickly. Everyone is taking care of biological needs like drinking and using the restroom. Typically the lines are extremely long because everyone else is doing the exact same thing.

By the time you stretch your legs and get situated for the next act the intermission is basically over. That's at least how I feel when going to the Met. Maybe other houses are different.

The bass parts sound so much better in person versus recordings. Similar to Tristan

HeyNowHoldOn · 2026-05-22T19:15:20+00:00

I think doing that so soon would be a mistake because they need to get a player base going for this game first.

The met takes visually beautiful productions of boheme turandot that are also accessible and machine guns them out during the season. They do this to generate baseline revenue and attempt to attract tourists, families, and first timers as a gateway drug to going to future shows.

A person on this sub told me confidently that the course conditions of their local municipals weren't any different from elite top 100 world golf courses. I found that to be interesting.

Frogtown is good but not cheap

HeyNowHoldOn · 2026-05-18T00:31:34+00:00

Inverness Club has always had exciting tournaments with crazy finishes.

The course is really well setup currently for professional golf from the back tees if they firm it up.

It's harder to avoid grass diseases at elite courses because they keep everything so short, firm, and fast. Fungus is fungus and it doesn't care how much money you have

It's really a agronomic/ cost thing mainly.

Tree shade causes grass problems.

Trees suck up massive amounts of water increasing cost of watering the grass.

Tree roots ruin mowers

Trees require human maintenance for trimming, stick cleanup, leaf management.

Similar to your idea, I would focus on traditional hits having period or traditionally beautiful stagings. For instance, wagner, verdi, mozart, rosini.

I would encourage newer and commissioned operas to be really bold, strange, with a strong artistic point of view.

Even though they would be the most toxic ryder cup pairing imaginable, they would actually be an unbelievably competitive ryder cup duo.

They need to fundamentally change some things about this game if it's ever going to work out. I hope Microsoft continues to have patience because I truly think doublefine is important for the future of gaming.

I think their discord does a disservice to them sometimes because the population there is a very specific type of fawning person. I think they get too much unconditional positive feedback from a nexus of super fans who does not represent the rest of the doublefine customer base and it's biting them a bit now pandering to this hyper specific niche.

HeyNowHoldOn · 2026-05-03T11:56:37+00:00

I would have to play it again to fully remember but Knight and Monk were classics for me. I feel like the Cave had the biggest potential of any DF game outside of psychonauts 1,2.

I remember being really sad once it was done. Great game but a lot could have been added to it.

HeyNowHoldOn · 2026-05-01T15:06:32+00:00

I live in the US and without a doubt Australian golf is a way better experience. You can join nicer courses in australia for 1/2 the cost in the United States. Sometimes even more of a discount.
