  • If a videogame tip screen is tolerated it’ll become used by everyone including and especially AAA devs though.

    Like how ghost kitchens were originally sold to the public as ways for food entrepreneurs with small amounts of capital to start out test their ideas and raise enough for a proper restaurant but very quickly became a way for Denny’s to trick drunk people into ordering from them through a delivery app.

    For indie devs I feel like some sort of Patreon style membership would be a better idea. Sure the AAAs could and would copy it if it proved profitable enough, but if an offering from a smaller dev blows me away I may spend a buck or three a month and get updates on what the next thing is they’re working on if I think it’ll help it become a reality. I’d rather see “If you enjoyed this consider following us on Patreon” than a tip screen, at the end.

    Sometimes I wonder if the general populace is, whether by nature, material conditions, or education, too stupid for nuanced satire. Hell, not even actual nuance, but just anything not literally explaining the true intended message somewhere in the story.

    I mean look what happened after Fight Club was adapted into a movie like two decades ago. Did people realize how alienated late capitalism is making us? Did they try to form new ways for men to connect with each other that broke the confines of toxic masculinity? Not in any appreciable way. What they did start doing is meeting up to beat the shit out of each other.

    For Yu-Gi-Oh they actually do have the authority to give stinky people a loss and demand they leave and only come back if showered and in clean clothes.
    It’s not an explicit rule for MtG though.
    I’m also not sure if the rule is global or just NA only. But I’d think it’d apply everywhere.

    Duelists are expected to be showered and appropriately groomed when they enter a tournament. Neglecting to wash or put on clean clothes contributes to an unpleasant atmosphere at the event, as the tournament can be crowded, and the day can be long.

    Duelists who neglect self-care to the point that they are negatively impacting the tournament may be asked to correct the issue in order to continue in the event.
