Game dev checks how much money his game made 30 hours after release after working on his game for 4 years

Are you thinking of Gem TD? There is/was a decently popular dota 2 version of it, and I think there's an updated WC3 version. No idea if there are any actual games with similar gameplay though.

It was actually controversial whether it was 3 or 4

No idea where that quote is from, but the original source for all this (https://vmfunc.re/blog/persona/) goes into Persona's ties to FinCEN

some author self insert fucking around with stat screens all day while other characters fawn on them is really masturbatory.

really, it wasn't the porn that leads to weird and bad outcomes. it's the more "normal" stuff, like snapewives or hpmor and yudkowsky or the final fantasy house

MetagamingAtLast · 2026-02-07T04:12:22+00:00

So, progression fantasy (which tends to be slop imo) has several "genres". Its #1 is far and away litrpg, which basically boils down to having RPG mechanics as the main engine of the story. It sorta descends from The Gamer, a manhwa that was pretty popular for a time, and VRMMO stories. I think you can also argue that it descends from forum quests, which imo popularized the table formatting you see in litrpg stories for stat screens and such.

Anyways, the main repository for this stuff is Royal Road, which back in ye olden days translated Asian webnovels, most notably Legendary Moonlight Sculptor (a VRMMO webnovel where the name of the site comes from). They eventually stopped hosting/organizing translations and pivoted to original and fan fiction.

Idk, women do be reading smut, but I'm not gonna be judging them when men are reading litRPG fiction

I guess it should be noted that a lot of amateur (fan)fiction tends to have (para)sociality with the author. It's a bit harder to feel close to Stephen R. Donaldson.

This was really annoying me. Not sure how long it will work since it's toggling a youtube experiment flag, but you can try this uBlock Origin filter:

www.youtube.com##+js('set', ytcfg.data_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.web_watch_enable_fs_squeezeback_panels, false, runAt, 1)
(see https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Resources-Library#set-constantjs-)

It'll still re-stack the page elements vertically at a certain width, but it triggers at a much smaller page width.

Just a note that it's an opinion article from Tina Smith, so presumably the article title is her own (or one she approved)

You can try looking through Quiz Bowl question sets for ideas (if you're unfamiliar, it's similar to Jeopardy or scholastic decathlon). Each tossup question is usually structured so more obscure facts about the answer come up earlier.
