@WeThePeopleN0W @PolandMFA Are you like....slow?

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@nib95_ It's a APU tuned for gaming, and as far as I am aware of, Asus nor MSI is trying hard to go into the console market, perhaps the handheld one like the ROG Ally. Even then, Xbox's and Sony's APUs differ from each other despite having the same foundation

@Dionysianist @MarcHoag @EricLDaugh The starters in S/S cars is much beefier and most times outlast the starter motors from non S/S cars. You think they would put in regular starters in? The S/S starters are rated for 4-6x more uses compared to regular motor starters.

@Ravens_Report @UESP_net The "I have no idea what im talking about" comment lol

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@Denisuson @BedsheetGhostYT Actual fans of anything take in the criticism, actual fans agree that it was kinda sleezy for E33 to get such a sweep and that some categories are not really deserved.

9 TGA wins, makes it look like E33 is apparently better than Baldur's Gate 3 all the sudden lol

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@sacpuncher1 @Red781RuM @SirTobi28 It's not AAA quality, its an AA game, funded by a publisher with multiple outsourced developers and artists.

The end credits have at least 400 people mentioned, that is 4x the amount of the likes of Self-published games like Hades or Silksong.

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@Red781RuM @sacpuncher1 @SirTobi28 I don't think that a game that has outsourced developers, artists, has big name actors, funded by a publisher and published by a large publisher can be considered a indie tbh.

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@StrippedSnake @Malefic111 @BedsheetGhostYT TGA IS a popularity contest, it is voted on by Game Journalists who don't have to finish the games or play all the nominated games. Hence why GoW took over RDR2, because Sony games are more popular amongst gaming journalists.

GDC, DICE, BAFTA are actual industry awards.

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@asdasd770853 @lnfinityNo0b @Pop_Qulture @BedsheetGhostYT Larian self-published Baldurs Gate 3 lmao

But I will agree that Larian shouldn't be considered Indie, especially not Baldurs Gate 3 with a over $100mil budget and 400 core dev team. That is AA bordering AAA.

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@Lolzicolz @faelklore @_iroira Yeah, I hope DICE, GDC and BAFTA pickup on the hidden gems overshadowed by E33 at TGA, there are some really good non-AAA games that came out, that deserve recognition.

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@asdasd770853 @lnfinityNo0b @Pop_Qulture @BedsheetGhostYT Well its you trying to argue that E33 with a publisher is no less Indie than two Self-Published titles...

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@BrennenWilde @Rodmor14 @BedsheetGhostYT Strawman take honestly.

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@asdasd770853 @Pop_Qulture @BedsheetGhostYT Silksong and Hades 2 are self-published and you are asking me how they are more deserving of an 'Indie' title compared to E33 which is funded by a $100mil revenue annually Publisher?

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@asdasd770853 @lnfinityNo0b @Pop_Qulture @BedsheetGhostYT Hollow Knight has 109 people, so what will make me sad?

It is still far more Indie than $10mil budget E33.

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@asdasd770853 @Terrrible_T_orn @Violet_Kitten69 @Pop_Qulture @BedsheetGhostYT yeah, because we know how much Hollow Knight got during funding, while Silksong budget isn't publicly stated????

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@Terrrible_T_orn @Violet_Kitten69 @Pop_Qulture @BedsheetGhostYT Guilty Gear Strive had around $10mil budget. Ori and The Blind Forest around $8mil afaik.

Are you telling me that 2D games can't be expensive?

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@asdasd770853 @Pop_Qulture @BedsheetGhostYT Ask the Game Journalists who nominate the game lol

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@asdasd770853 @lnfinityNo0b @Pop_Qulture @BedsheetGhostYT Still less than E33 and a much lower budget also.

Silksong has 97 and Hades 2 has 134.

Indie by definition is that it has limited financial and technical help, E33 has had both

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@SpaghettiBadger @Magyar645 @realciciceli @BedsheetGhostYT A Macron-RPG

[DarthCatius @Deadly__Kitten]

@asdasd770853 @Pop_Qulture @BedsheetGhostYT You asked why Megabonk is missing from the nominations and I corrected you, because it was indeed nominated in the Indie category.
