  • I was working in the industry at the time and people absolutely talked about the implications of microtransactions and how it would result in more expensive games and being nickel and dimed.

    Like, I distinctly remember conversations with actual human beings from exactly the horse armor DLC and maybe we didn’t think it was going to result in, say the online shooter battle pass formula exactly, but we without ambiguity understood that meaningful in game items, and things like levels / experience would be monetized.

    The biggest shocks to me were how patches would be used to reduce the game testing cycles, enabling companies to print incomplete or broken versions of games, requiring day one patches.

    It’s a disgusting practice now, and it was then too.











  • I’ve never understood what is meant literally when people talk about sitting on someone’s face.

    I used to think it was a euphemism for oral sex, but honestly I often see it used differently or even literally? Is it a fetish? Is it about the scent?

    I’m genuinely asking out of legitimate lack of clear intention.
