This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Wait, gaming is shit now and it was great in the past?
I agree about the speed of progress, but someone is forgetting all the movie games on the ps2 (looking at you cat woman).
Also, I’m old enough to remember the angry video game nerd reviewing bad NES games, holy shit, you have no idea how bad it can get.
Yeah, this seems like a case of survivorship bias and the fact that there are way more games coming out in the modern age.
I don't know, games are getting really good these days. If you ignore the aaaaaaa slop you're going to find some awesome stuff
Games are amazing right now, what is this talking about? EA/WB/Ubisoft dreck?
It is the money people's fault. Once there was money to be had in the industry, all the idiots moved in, and no power can resist them. The game devs hate making awful cash-grab games that aren't fun to play, too.
I certainly wanted to be a gameDev, and had shit ideas. It is my fault.
If you still have a hint of that spark in you, download a game engine and give it a go. Make something short and quick just to learn. It's a fun hobby when you don't let it consume your life.
Godot is a free and open source game engine, so lemmy would eat me alive if I didn't mention it, but any of them, including Unity, would work for this purpose.
I simply don't have time or energy, because I'm fighting for survival in an extremely toxic work and home environment.
You probably don't have shit ideas, you just need help making you ideas work. Even Tolkien had a group of people help I'm improve the Hobbit.
Excuse me, but a lot of passion han be found on the indie market.
get absolutely abused by employers squeezing every penny they can while blocking union efforts
He forgot that part
Mostly or straight became indie devs or got they asses fired on AAA studios, let's be honest indie and double A studios are what still keep this hobbie alive today
More of a late stage capitalism issue than a millennial issue
