  • TLDR those genres don't give me enough of a dopamine hit to keep playing them anymore. They might as well be bejeweled. If it's not something I can play with IRL friends, or sandbox, it's probably not really compatible with my lifestyle anymore.

  • To a degree this is just another clickbait, "Younger Generation Ruins XYZ Thing Only Old People Care About."

    On the other hand... I do think there's some truth to young men being more rejection adverse than previous generations. Though I admit it could easily be a case of Baader-Meinhof due to social media.

  • I appreciate the class conscious sentiment... but this game has 500k players right now. So ~$10,000,000 in sales in 24 hours... for a game that probably had a budget under 200k.

  • completely agree. I probably won't pick up another side scroller, turn based, or RTs game anytime soon... but I'm glad those game genre's are still coming out with new games.

  • .or really any of this style of games where you run back and forth over the same terrain over and over and over again for hours looking for a hole you haven't been through yet.

    HAAH me to.

  • Just trying to say nice things about the game you like eh

    As I said I know nothing.

    Hype trains by my definition are more like what you see with Call of Duty or AAA games... where it's fucking everywhere.

    The only thing I'm seeing is organic(afaict) hollow night posts from real fans.

  • Totally. I wasn't saying platformers were invented in the 00s. I was saying games like pong and space invaders technically predate platformers despite both of them being arcade games.

    Please remember I was trying to answer he question, "When is a genre old". Which is somewhat difficult with older genre's that evolved in tandem with each other.

  • Hm. I'd never considered that.

    I mean "arcade" games are older than most internet users. FPS and MMORPGs older than half for sure.

    Platformers are kind of arcade, but not just arcade. They defs hold a special place in the hearts of anyone who experienced the peak of online flash games.

    I know VR is technical a platform not a sub-genre but there has to be something uniquely VR that is objectively a "younger genre".

    Would Pacman VR still be an arcade game? Not sure lol.

  • I certainly was when I was younger... Good ole Game Boy Color. Glad to see older genre's are still going strong!

  • I have no clue what Hollow Knight is other than than individual people being pumped for this silksong thing. No advertising. No "hype train".

    Here's hoping success stories like this shake some sense into the AAA gaming industry.

  • First tranche of Epstein docs released by House Oversight Committee

    Jump

  • (Copied below. Its very short)

    The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday released a first tranche of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, one that President Donald Trump has tried to distance himself from for about two months.

    The documents include court records related to Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal of her 2022 conviction for child sex trafficking. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence and was recently transferred to a low-security prison in Texas after meeting with Trump's Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche.

    In all, the committee released more than 33,000 documents related to the Epstein case.

    "The Department of Justice has indicated it will continue producing those records while ensuring the redaction of victim identities and any child sexual abuse material," the committee said in a press release.

  • Donald Trump says people are in Epstein files who ‘don’t deserve to be’: ‘It’s a Democratic hoax’

    Jump

  • Few weeks back the GOP led house oversight committee voted to subpoena the Epstein files. DNC members won the vote with GOP members who had publicly demanded the files release. The POS GOP chairman tried his slimiest to ignore the rest of the committe but was eventually brow beaten into submission -like the pathetic worm he is.

    This week they received the first batch of files and are reviewing them.
