@JacobAShell Or perhaps, like the aeolipile or the Antikythera mechanism, it was invented long ago but, unable to be mass-produced or lacking a use that could be democratized, never went beyond the stage of a mere exercise or toy.

@Knightly_Hist I have an issue with the game *A Plague Tale*: I was hoping for a story devoid of the supernatural—one that sought to evoke emotion through visuals and situations—but barely ten minutes in, we are confronted with an incredible mystery that turns out to be just the first in a list

@SandyofCthulhu @GameStalgiaX I always get the impression that the vast majority of people who pirated your games would never have bought them if piracy hadn't been an option. It’s a bit like saying a work failed to find its audience—when in reality, it did; it’s simply a niche audience.

@SketchesbyBoze I am an avid reader, and none of your arguments convince me... for this to work, you need to explain how it benefits THEM not YOU. What would the impact be on THEM if no one read anymore, and why would that be a bad thing?

@jmgwritten All the films that fail have perfectly found their audience. It is a niche audience.

@AliArthPainter The Japanese have the honesty to have a proverb that defines this perfectly:

@BradRTorgersen Doesn't matter if there are 3, 9, or 15 books to read, as long as the starting point and the world of the first one are good and the author has ideas for where to go next.
Generally, they’re immature and/or mid, and the author tries to make you believe it’ll get great later on...

@Jay_JayLuvsYa @ZeldaZealot Which case does the first one correspond to—a cryptid or an encounter? I recognize the other three.

@EmmaM64989287 With a bit of luck, AI will eliminate everyone's jobs—including those of neurotypicals, whose ableism will have become as useless as the disabilities of the neurodivergent. You will no longer have to deal with their antipathy.

@shelleddiva For many, it’s just a trend or a costume; what lies beneath has less human worth than the bottom of a slurry pit—and at least that can be spread to nourish crops.
