I have built engines for my own games and worked with the big engines; I’ve modded games going back to Doom.

I’ve built game loops and models; I know how games work.

The suggestions you cherry picked still do not come with any fundamentally new technology behind them as it’s still a machine of known constraints.

Rockets to nowhere is nostalgia for the Spaceship. Cherry picked games are nostalgia for playing Super Mario. It’s all a huge waste of real resources, the real deficit we’re leaving the future, since the fiat money one is a shared hallucination detached from that material reality.

Games are entertainment.

Part of the frustration I have with the game industry is taking themselves entirely too seriously.

It's like watching Dr Seuss search for some deeper meaning outside of simply entertaining and teaching children.

Why can't being entertaining be enough?
