Mat you’ve shown F2P games dominate playtime- do you have any data on how the median spending per customer has changed over time for any of those games? I’m curious if the $ made from F2P games has also become more and more reliant on the affluent players, or whether it’s more evenly distributed
As I get older I find my appreciation only grows for games that are unapologetically videogame-ass videogames (looking at you Doom Eternal.)
Unironic question: you seem to be falling in love with these rpg games that (I would think) demand WAY more of your time than a ‘typical’ game. Do you feel like having a family has made it easier to focus heavily on one game? Or do you think it’s harder than ever to fall in love with a 100 hr game?
I have bad news for you-as you look at new dishwashers you’re going to find features and tray layouts that suit your baking/cooking needs better than others…and eventually…..you’re going to have strong preferences on dishwashers and even be EXCITED when you find the right one lol
It’s crazy because in person at my house in Iowa it looks like a light red smudge…my neighbor told me to take a picture of said smudge and it looks like this!!! So apparently the Northern Lights just lend themselves to photography lol
American question: do they really not have ice in most of the water over there? Are people really just drinking room temp water all the time?
GTA V is STILL in the top ten of sales??????????
I’m likely still all in on the Ultimate tier, but only because my wife and I both use it. And for the first time ever we had a lengthy discussion about whether we got enough value out of it. For us it’s gone from a no brainer purchase to something we’ll keep an eye on each month.
The more time I spend in a B2B role and see acquisitions and consolidations from inside…some are driven by lengthy and painstaking planning, vetting, and market analysis. And also a crazy amount are driven by someone with LOTS of money being chatted up in the right way at an evening out on the town.
Option B.) it remains an incredibly niche thing that <2% of the community use. Is that a good use of developer time? I’d say no. So both of the scenarios seem to be not great for Jagex/OSRS imo
Unfortunately this is one decision I’m glad the developers made. I feel like it would have been a no win situation for the community and the devs-
option A.) A significant portion of the community swaps to private servers..it’s not good for 5-10% of the player base to not be in the actual game
Gz on the monkey tail tho
As someone who also has larger hands- how did the fit feel? My main concern with purchasing one would be my hands feeling uncomfortable/getting cramped up after an hour. Happens with my Switch which is the main reason I don’t play that more.
It's not even that it's slop necessarily, its just too much. Even if every episode was a 10/10 banger, if you have an episode dropping every week or sometimes more, I'm eventually going to get comfortable missing some of them. Then I'm confused by the next series because i missed a show. Then im out
Wild to me that physical fitness has become such a defining issue on whether you’re a regular dude or some incel weirdo- ‘Wow that dudes’ pecs are super defined. Wonder if I could achieve that?” VS. - “I need to be ripped because a male influencer told me women only like dudes with 6 packs.”
You to profit off a nazi platform because you don’t want to go work do warehouse work or other labor that doesn’t explicitly put money in the pocket of a nazi…yeah I do have an issue with your morals, and no I don’t care that Twitter is how you currently make money.
I was about to say I’m torn because some people make $ that impacts their livelihood from Twitter but upon reflection…I guess I’m not torn? Yes leaving may cost you money. Also the owner is showing they are explicitly a nazi-no dog whistles, no euphemisms, straight nazi shit. If your morals allow
I thought @snowbikemike.bsky.social had a cast on his foot here for a second and I assumed a surprising but not wholly unexpected treadmill incident had occurred .
You’re showing your age Ryan. Junk Beez are all the buzz among the youth 🐝 🍯
I feel like this is indicative of what I consider a paradox of the internet-we have access to more people and individuals than ever before--and those people have never been less 'real' than they are over the internet to some folks. I worry it will bleed into real life with gen z and alpha folks.
Sucks that your dps is permanently nerfed because you are required to wear this at all times for all activities. (I do unironically believe that mega-rare armor pieces from clues should have stats equivalent to Bandos)
God, I wish we could go back to that golden age of games like Bioshock. When devs knew to keep politics out of games! Just pure escapism. No connections or references or critiques of our real world at all! #stopcriticalthinking oops typo there, I meant #stopwokegames
At the gayme you might say
I worked on RuneScape 2005-2014. I haven't thought about it much since then, but it occasionally pops up in my feed and seeing it usually it makes me happy and nostalgic.
But this makes me really angry. Cowardly and disgusting.
I unironically think the greatest cultural success of the right in the last 30 years was convincing middle and lower class dipshits that whiners and nerds like this are the people making policy in D.C., while also convincing them that nazis are a fringe group with no power on the right.

I’d estimate ~78% of his voters think this photo is real and is “mocking the American way of life by trying to normalize immigrant foods to mock our president”
How does it feel…..to live MY dream???!???!!!!
@blessingjr.bsky.social I have an important question with clear categories based on arbitrary criteria (the lifeblood of video game discourse.) How seriously do you need to want to play a game for it to be on “the backlog?” Only games you truly regret not playing? Ones you think just looked fun?
Nonsense!! With that outfit now you can easily go greenlog Amoxliatl!! Never let the CG procrastination stop lol
The fleshing out of early/mid game content has shifted my opinion on this quite a bit actually. I’m a fan of meaningful upgrades going up a kind of sliding scale of grind time. If ultra endgame content is a 100 hour grind, but there is great gear with a 30 hour grind I think that’s a fair balance
