Those anime merchandise sales are crazy, never even heard of Anpanman
It is like the Japanese version of Bluey or Paw Patrol. It has been very popular for small children in Japan since the 70s.

I hate to sound shallow, but graphics really do matter to me. Sure sometimes I'm in the mood for Pixel art, but I don't know if I'm just old and grumpy, but I won't waste my limited game time on games with flat, ugly textures and soulless level design. The latest Pokemon game is just laughably bad. I stopped playing Atlus' Metaphor because everything was flat, square and uninspired looking.
I'm probably not a great judge of gaming character though, because I'm hitting Blue Protocol pretty hard this week. Love the anime style and I'm actually in a full, active guild for once so it's not a single player game

My wife grew up with it and has a figure of him on her desk. Its "the thing" for young kids from Japan.
Its revenue, but the margin on Star Wars merch is very high. The terminally online love saying its dead, but its still immensely popular with regular people.

Don't want to make a thread but absolum is one of the most addicting game I've played in awhile. Indie games are killing it.

Yeah that is a good one, I need to play more but too many demos and other things out right now.

Damn it, why did you post this on Sunday night? Bought and downloaded just now. Played about 15 minutes and really enjoyed it.

I grabbed it at the airport waiting for my flight and got sucked in immediately haha. There's not a lot of depth so I'm sure once I beat it, it won't have the lasting appeal of something like Hades, but it's very good.

Absolum is pretty fun but I got tired of it rather quickly after clearing the game a few times on all the chars. Got like 15hours in it before being done though so pretty reasonable considering the price point and it was enjoyable.
Now checking another small indie game, Necesse.
Basically top down Terraria, with a slight twist of Rimworld sim aspect for your city, it does all the usual Terraria stuff with biomes, gear tiers, 4 "classes" split based on gear and all that but in your city you can recruit more generic NPCs and then have them work for you instead of just standing there doing nothing. Can automate stuff like cutting trees, hunting for food, fishing, cultivating plants for alchemy, shearing sheep and even crafting(like converting base mats into other stuff) or sorting your gear in specific chests. It's nice cause it removes a fair bit of the tedium while still being fun to setup.
I'm still pretty early but liking it a lot, it has a lot of modern Terraria/mods QoL rolled incan drop gear in nearby chests/craft from chests, can look up any recipe ingame directly so you don't need the wiki, can see if and where you're missing drops from with a checklist, has item sets and expanded inventory early etc. Overall pretty high quality, released in 1.0 last week so I got interested. Not sure if it's still on sale but it was like 7euros when I bought it.

Terminator 2D: No Fate got delayed from Oct 31 to Nov 26. Bummer for us Terminator fans that were eagerly awaiting it. I think this is the third time it's gotten delayed. What is it with Terminator games and constant delays? Usually leading to a rough finished product, too.
This one should be pretty damn good though, like the Terminator Resistance game we got in 2019.

I don't know the specifics of CS2's skin system but I know that high rarity knife skins were absurdly expensive because the only way to get them was to gamble them out of lootboxes. I say were because Valve added a way to trade up 5 of a lower rarity item into a random higher rarity item which immediately crashed the market for the knife skins and it seems multiple people have committed suicide because of the financial losses they suffered over this.
It's honestly hard to comprehend stupidity of people having that much money invested into something that can be devalued instantly with zero warning or recourse.

Well, I mean look at our world. Things like that used to be punished almost instantly and brutally but we've let people get away with things that used to land us older people in jail.
Its nice to see people exploiting systems for large financial gains be punished. The main question is why did it take so long? Valve seems to be the only ones combating any type of exploitation. All the other companies just dont give a fuck.

I don't really understand your reply because if there is a bad guy here it's Valve.

People claiming they had entire 401ks invested in the market. Literally retarded

The "real" market is also retarded shit and your money can disappear just as fast, it's just somewhat more regulated and less centralized. Still, people's money get wiped every now and then from bad investments, especially if you go all in like this or whenever the usual generational crash happens. This is just a step further into stupidity since Gaben can just decide to block your account or remove trading at any point. Not far off from people investing into shitcoins or NFTs though which have about the same level of oversight.
