Make big systems for big games / All dumb views are my own / Video game takes on bluesky

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

Only going to post video game stuff (for the most part) on bluesky going forward. Only thing Twitter has going for it for me is the finance scene. Game dev scene on blue sky is just leagues better

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@DeepDishEnjoyer crypto twitter on days where they are down horrendously are honestly one of the funniest places to go on this site

[Goblin @TheGoblinnn]

Backing into parking spots is performative

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@NotSoEasyMoney Between the tech sell off and then the Google demo scare on top of it think a lot of game equities got unnecessarily hammered.

Don't think you're dumb though roblox has some issues

Take a look at take two as well, shorter time horizon

Just my opinion being in industry

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@DeepDishEnjoyer Given what happened last earnings round, decent bet. Let it ride

I'm just in cash, too scared/dumb to go short

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@DeepDishEnjoyer still have a few years I'm screwed

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@PMB28593434 @BTrade35 @dieworkwear Yeah that's a solid point (take for instance the Venezianico that has pre-orders going on right now)

Nothing to prove this but I almost wonder if microbrands on sites like AliExpress have completely swallowed up that price segment

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@PMB28593434 @BTrade35 @dieworkwear Can never go wrong with a Casio

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@PMB28593434 @BTrade35 @dieworkwear Yeah there are quite a few microbrands I dig just think that might be a well too deep right now. Better for them to be able to go by like a local Macy's and try some stuff on to get started, etc

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@BTrade35 @dieworkwear ...fossil, invicta, luxury brands, etc. but again just go with something you dig and take it from there and enjoy it :)

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@BTrade35 @dieworkwear I think that's a great pick. Honestly more than anything pick something you think you'll like. Feel free to go to stores and ask to try on watches as well, that's a very normal thing for watches.

If you're looking for brands that are looked down upon then you have things like...

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@dieworkwear @BTrade35 One more rec that comes right up against the top end of your budget and comes with leather strap (tbh even if you get a metal bracelet like the seiko above replacing it with a leather strap is very easy)

Orient very respectable brand, very clean design

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@dieworkwear @BTrade35 If you're looking for something more mechanical I always recommend Seiko 5s SNK or SNX models

Beyond that a lot of good recs here. Casio, Seiko, Citizen, Timex, lower end Tissots

Big watch nerd here so feel free to ping for more questions

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@tolstoybb Yeah that or commit to one 21 hour game

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@DeepDishEnjoyer Think that's the bit that maybe you're missing.

This is the first one of these that has caught on for this gen.

We gettin old, that's my guess anyways

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@tolstoybb Middle America still gets misty eyed about the super bowl performance

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

Been out of the oil trade a couple days now and I swear I've attained enlightenment.

Serene as the Buddha

That market sucks

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@PantexCap @rev_cap Caveat that who knows what comes with that extra time but unless Iran has some amazing 4D chess move up it's sleeve, this is them kicking the can down the road.

Meanwhile the world can better prepare, and the world has a really strong new reason to do so.

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@PantexCap @rev_cap Maybe rev is where my head is at.

US just tried to kill them all when attempting regime change.

If they capitulate now it feels like the regime's time is nearing its end.

Hard to see US not doing it again in 5-10 years, and now they have gulf state backing.

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@rev_cap But also why does Iran accept those meetings at all, so what the fuck do I know

[Croaker @CroakerGameDev]

@rev_cap If they were so close why leave the meetings prematurely? Sunday was right there. Is this all just some dumb stage play to save face that they worked out on Saturday?
