Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!

Community rules:

Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules

No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.

No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.

No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.

Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.

No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.

Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.

NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.

Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

Oh cool an AI game studio, definitely not an obvious rug pull game studio like all the NFT games. Definitely not just a bunch of buzzwords, no talent, sleazy owner, etc...

Of course it is a scam, he's gonna cash out on his audience, just like he's gonna cash out with the government. He's gonna rake in what he can and either exit if it gets hot, or run worse scams if the worst comes to pass.

It's strange how this kind of hoarding is considered a virtue.

Oh boy, I can't wait for the -checks notes- awful tower defense game where you protect castle wolfenstein from the allies

Who cares, there's zero barrier to entry on making games. There are much worse monopolies to worry about than a few big game studios.

Hell, Stardew valley is one of the most popular games, and it is made by one dude.

I'm reminded of the scene in the Sopranos when Chris wants to write a gangster movie about a guy who gets dismembered and then his body parts come back together and he becomes a gangster zombie with a knife for a hand.

There is a 0% chance that the Steam rating for this will be fair.
