Roguelike developer. Monster Lily. Servant to cats.

A semi-lewd roguelike that's actually decent!?

The well-received ASCII #roguelike Monster Lily is now at its lowest-ever price.

This is the biggest discount planned for the foreseeable future. Unleash your bladder!

@Roger36285035 @theinveterate @Toluwase_x Better than never living it.

@epyoncf @FakePsyho @bonzajplc Don't think people realize yet that new college grads are coming out with minimal coding experience, and they'll *never* get significant coding "craft" experience at their jobs, so the current population of experienced coders is roughly at the peak it will ever be.

@orrdavid Apparently coffee is also better for LDL cholesterol (than espresso).

@orrdavid @grok @PalmerLuckey Also Palmer is wrong. A human can guide an AI to optimize and the AI will surely find the bloat.

[cr0ne @riskbreaker13]

@orrdavid @grok @PalmerLuckey The thing is even humans don't do this, very few teams have a "John Carmack" that's working 70 hour weeks and given carte blanche/free reign.

And now with AI, college grads can barely code and will never get enough experience to obtain skill mastery.

@opinali Yeah, basically what Spotify & streaming did to direct music sales or Netflix to Warner/Sony/etc. The sub model is terrible for encumbants, publishers & creators. Msft literally trying to shoot themselves.

[cr0ne @riskbreaker13]

@opinali I just thought he missed the obvious reason Dark Ages sold badly...Xbox branding, plus devaluation from game pass service. Idk what idiot exec saw the Spotify model and what it did to music and thought it would be a good idea to bring it to gaming.

@FeralDude @KobeissiLetter The big democrat of the 90s Clinton worked with pre-neocon R's to bring the deficit to 0.

@Jack_son_2112 @MaryBowdenMD Then we'd also have a depression from so many income-less. Hard problem. We basically have UBI now although you need to turn up to your United Health job to collect it.

[cr0ne @riskbreaker13]

@ID_AA_Carmack The Game Pass subscription and Xbox-focused angle was a terrible idea (for MS) anyone could have predicted if they understand gamer habits. It cheapens perceived value of the product among other problems. There's a reason Nintendo games resell as well as they do.

@epyoncf Doom 7 on Unreal engine.

[cr0ne @riskbreaker13]

@TafferKing451 They mean selling Cacodemon plushies out of those claw machines.

[cr0ne @riskbreaker13]

@gopricette @AndrewHulshult In part I think it's because game pass, Xbox branding ate sales and cheapened the value of the game. Should have called it Doom 6 also.

Finishing Move is fine..have you heard Doom I & II music? Doom is canonically something you play while listening to Pantera.

[cr0ne @riskbreaker13]

@gopricette @AndrewHulshult Are you talking about Dark Ages?!

[cr0ne @riskbreaker13]

@ScottApogee Wasn't Doom Dark Ages profitable? Even accounting for full game dev lifecycle?

[cr0ne @riskbreaker13]

@asha_shar @asha_shar, maybe instead of focusing on cinematic-like experiences, look at your history. Windows stood on Flight Simulator and AOE. XBox on Ninja Gaiden and Halo. The future will be with actual games. #monsterlily #roguelikes

@Sheev542918 @dta1917 @privacyforme123 @posta_octavian Small business yes, but org politics and incentive structure of large business don't always work that way.

United Health for example with nearly 400k employees most of which are producing nothing of any actual use.

[cr0ne @riskbreaker13]

@Sheev542918 @dta1917 @privacyforme123 @posta_octavian Reduced work week actually stimulates the economy since folks spend more on their free time.

Question is where they actually doing anything beneficial/productive if they work more hours (?). If not, then reduced workweek is stimulative for the economy.

@PattyWhacked @Creseki It's called abandonware. The physical media won't work indefinately, hence emulation is needed for preservation.

I don't care if it's legal or not (and I am a gamedev btw).
