I haven't played too many valve games. The only complaint I ever hear about valve is exactly what you said: they don't release enough. There's only so many left for dead mods I can play.

Oh ya, I feel that. I casually follow the smash bros scene (mostly ultimate) and sometimes Nintendo confuses me from how hard they try to shut that stuff down. Going after Project M, maybe Slippy, melee, tournaments in general.

I guess they might be wicked greedy. Far from the worst gaming related company I know though. I mean just off the top of my head, I'm still a bit bitter about "Overwatch 2". Paywalling heroes and calling it fair. Terrible battle pass. And the whole bait and switch with Modern Warfare 2. Promise a two year call of duty then rug pull after they made their sales. And the buggy messes that all those games come wrapped up in. Plus the whole sexual harassment lawsuits, but that's a whole separate matter.

Maybe I don't play enough Nintendo, but every time I've picked up one of their games, I don't feel any pressure to spend extra on any microtransactions or pay more to get ahead of other people. I mean, I'm sure there are examples, but looking at other companies I'd say they're decent by comparison.

Well this seems pretty important to know. What's the boost symbol look like? I'm on safari on my iphone and I don't see anything that resembles boost or seems to boost after clicking on it.

ngl, I totally forgot Nintendo existed when I wrote that comment, I feel like they still put in a ton of effort into their games and are mostly still loved too.

Have there been any studios that have been loved, gotten way bigger, and didn't become wicked greedy?

Oh wow, yeah I missed the headline lol. I wasn't sure when I read OP's description if post meant like API post request or like posting a tweet. Turns out maybe neither? But yeah scrolling past a few hundred tweets will go by real fast.

Yeah. Sometimes it feels like it's just people patting themselves on the back for not using Reddit, which is completely ok, but I'd also like to see other stuff. Like from subreddit I used to subscribe to.

As much as I'd like to see an alternative to YouTube on the fediverse, I can't see myself using it much unless my favorite content creators move on over there too. And I can't see them moving.

400 posts a day seems like a lot. Am I missing something here? Is a post a tweet?
