It’s easy to get swept up in the nostalgia of classic, remastered expansions. They bring back good memories of a 'happier' time. But our willingness to endlessly consume this recycled content is ruining our chances for anything new.

If players consistently show they are perfectly happy paying subscriptions and box prices for content that was designed over two decades ago why would devs ever add anything new?

Why would a studio or its shareholders greenlight the budget for:

- New races that aren't recolors
- More than 1 new class every 4 years
- Literally anything your heart desires.

when they can just hit the re-release button for a guaranteed return on investment?

As long as we the players demonstrate that low-effort, high-margin nostalgia trips are highly profitable, the industry will naturally optimize for them instead of evolving the genre.

By readily accepting rehashed content, we are effectively voting with our wallets for stagnation.

I know. I know. "Let people have fun". See, but we can't anymore, because the 'people' are literally cheering for a 2nd release of a state of a game that is soon to be 30 years old.

Like, really?

How has this not been addressed?

There's no point

I just realized I'm asking for the equivilent of a 90's toy playset. XD

The defintely rolled it back.

Your voice is your wallet.

Well done folks.

Is this just the accepted state of affiars that everyone mutes discord entirely because you can never trace back notification sounds?

This is insane that its happenenining in the year of our lord Anno domini 2026

... I then awoke and wept bitter tears.

There's dozens of card battling roguelikes released every year.

There's only one proc-gen focused, walking tank mechanic simulator out there. I'd love to be wrong about that.

*if cost is not important

I currently use grok imagine for everything on their official site. I've been experiementing with others but I haven't found one that has better:

- Enough prompt correctness

AND

- Is fast enough (read images generated per session)

What are yall using?

Seriously looking for feedback, this isn't an egnagement post. Fk those guys.

I’ve been living with my girlfriend for 5 years now, and for the entire time, she has been perfectly fine keeping our apartment at 83°F (28°C) inside. I am completely over it.

It has gotten to the point where I don’t even want to be home when she is there just to avoid the heat. To make matters worse, she refuses to accept that keeping the place this hot is completely outside the norm. Because of that, our fights have devolved into arguing over pettiness on top of the fact that it’s just objectively, uncomfortably hot.

I’m genuinely ready to break up with her over this. I know deep down that a thermostat setting probably isn't the sole, root cause of a breakup after half a decade, but right now, it is absolutely feeling like the final straw.

Am I overreacting here, or is this a valid reason to throw in the towel?
