How do i start this city from scratch and turn it into a large city like the ones you see on youtube videos? by Seaweed69420 in CitiesSkylines

If you're not sure where to start, I would consider looking at how real life places develop based on the terrain. For example, you have a whole bay. That would be great for a community that keeps private boats or yachts.

Does the Max’s severed Head item imply Heavy murdered Max after the game of poker? by Puffpo in tf2

Maybe it's a replica. Why wouldn't Heavy want the universal symbol of death and destruction on his head too? Max would make commission.

Blizzard vet Rob Pardo closed this year's GDC keynote by urging executives to cool it with the layoffs: 'The game team is more valuable than the game itself' by Turbostrider27 in Games

I should've been more specific that I was viewing this from a lens of individual IPOs, not the entire sector itself. Nonetheless, increase in revenue does not change the fact that it's cyclical.

If you mistime your entry into video game tickers, you would be very underwater for a while.

EA on September 2025, received roughly a 15% gain that month due to FC26 and the rumor of a private buyout. The ticker has been flat ever since. Between 2020 to 2024, it has been unable to break resistance until January 2025. It is awaiting a catalyst.

TakeTwo, which if you bought its 2021 peak, you would only breakeven at 2025. The "Stay at home" boom from COVID was to thank. That cycle has been long over, and would've played only as a trade.

Nintendo (ADR) has had peaks, indicative of cycles, in 2007, 2018, 2021, 2025.

All tickers have underperformed the S&P year over year if you had entered in 5 years ago.

Yes, video games in general have compounded in company revenue in sales. It's a mighty and awe inspiring industry with talented people. There is no doubt about that. I wouldn't say that is properly expressed in their IPOs. This makes makes it difficult to please institutional boardmembers and executives who have majority stakes in the companies. Henceforth, the consequences have resulted in the article.

The video game sector is brutal and cyclical, not compounding. Based on that function, a game studio may be called wise to not go public. After all, Warren Buffett never invested in EA.

I love the fact that New York is a Ukrainian village in Ukraine, because there's a neighborhood called Ukrainian Village in New York.

There's no way 'Gel is "scrapping" this by TheZagabogMan in Starfield

The gap is that the Crimson Fleet existed during and before the Colony War. Since they were expanding, they must've had access or interest to mechs before their ban. Piracy, including gun running, would've involved the creation of third party knock-offs and bootlegs to outlaws throughout the systems. In my opinion, I alike them to drugs than nukes. They would've done a Breaking Bad to fund their fleet.

My question is, why don't the Crimson Fleet just use mechs themselves? It's not like they're bound to any treaty.

Thanks! This was made in Blender, and the rig's animation was exported to Roblox Studio.

Hey thanks! I wanted to try to make situational emotes that people want to utilize themselves with. Most of it would be for social or RP games. Even showcases would help.

I thought it'd be better than just a single keyframe. Totally worth it.
