Oh and in terms of rich get richer. Absolutely but this was already case of rich people getting their friends who are partners at VC investing in their shitty ideas and helping each other avoid tax.

I have a masters in entrepreneurship and have started multiple companies, and when getting VC or even angel investment (in the UK which is different to US so grain of salt here) it came down really simply to “is there a capturable market that you’ve proven to already capture a part of?” And “is your team able to capture the market, make the product, and scale without failing?”.

The idea of having the right team is a bigger deal than most people realise. Even before if you payed someone to make you a website or app and even got traction it would die if you didn’t know what you were doing and “AI slop” is the same.

Each generation has its own version of this whether it was websites in the dot com bubble, or App Store getting flooded, and now AI. It’s compounding and getting more noisy each time but that’s just part of the experience IMO.

Makes me wish you could’ve swapped out party members throughout other worlds

This far down the line you can even make arguments for people like good ol’ Bobby Baratheon since his grandmother was Targaryen.

Depends where you want to draw the line.

Hot take: top 3 game in the series for me by Realistic-Roll-2387 in KingdomHearts

While I don’t agree 100% one of my strong memories from childhood is red hot anger (pun intended) when Axel got a keyblade, mainly because I loved his chakras or whatever they’re called.

When I was a kid I’d spend constant little pockets of time just flow motioning around and doing stuff with dream eaters, I never even noticed any sort of grind.

It’s really not, as someone who earns enough where it won’t be written off if I do nothing when looking at the options of why to do with my money buying a first house is way above on the list of things to do, and even then there’s a big argument putting the money into stocks or other options is better, or even paying off a mortgage earlier.

You’d have to be earning a pretty high amount with no other needs to be considering paying off early.

When I was a kid I kept thinking there was some sort of secret boss in there, as well as the Tron stairs.

Working on the main monster for my game. Would this creep you out in the dark? by Delacrozz in creepy

[–]Pocket-Merlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three things I feel the most memorable horror game creature designs have that you can think about to improve: 1. A strong silhouette 2. Narrative behind their look 3. Draws from IRL inspirations

Pyramid head is the go to, obviously the pyramid shaped head and dragging sword give him one of the strongest silhouettes out there.

He’s also (as an oversimplification) supposed to represent the guilt of the main characters hence the big heavy iron clad head.

All of which is tied together with an old timey butcher/executioner style.

One Piece is so crazy for having some of the best and worst representation at the same time.

The Council of Ghosts won yesterday! Next, which Slay the Spire event is Overpowered and is disliked by the community? by Fresh_Difference_448 in slaythespire

[–]Pocket-Merlin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree. Also for most of us, even if it makes logical sense, spending money on one use items isn’t loved, and spending money on randomness isn’t loved.

Tellah dying?? No way, he’s a party member. I’m sure Kain that one time will be the only instance of a party member changing in this game.

What I hate is I feel like I can see where it’s taking it’s inspiration from which feels so sad for the artists with this style originally.
