I honestly am to the point that I wonder if all our automation is catching up with us and we need to collectively bargain for a 20 hour work week. Now we need twice as many skilled laborers because we’ve automated so many jobs.

Or an automation tax that’s paid back to every citizen as a dividend. If your company uses software or AI then it’s taxed more aggressively.

If we don’t do something in thirty years there just might not be hardly any jobs left.

That is so frustrating. That is outside my wheelhouse unfortunately, so I don’t have anything to give other than sympathy for the legitimate frustration that we have an economy that cannot seem to employ every talented, educated person. I don’t get it, it feels like we’ve reached like a moment where labor (even skilled labor) is lower in demand than ever before. A hundred years ago we could just walk up to a building project and start adding labor on day one, and knowing how to read and write meant an instant job as a clerk. But now we toil for decades to learn skills that just… suddenly aren’t needed? Sure, some folks win big in tech but that’s just as fleeting, I know a dozen out of work senior engineers. It’s a strange and baffling time to try to earn a living. Something has to give.

Ok you got me so hype I decided to do a little BP themed art for inktober

You’ve got so much ahead of you! Lucky! I wish I could start over again where you are but wipe my memory.

Definitely keep grinding on the antechamber. You’ll figure it out, if you want some hints

the game is extremely long, just do loops for the heck of them and you’ll start to put clues together. It’s not a few loops to figure out the antechamber, it’s A Lot.

also you have to write

“spoiler spoiler” after the :: like in the image or it doesn’t work

oh also, spoilers in Lemmy are

Lol had to make it an image

What blows my mind about Blue Prince is when you’ve been playing for probably 20+ hours trying your hardest to get the objective and you finally beat the game…

I’ve never in my life had such a mindfuck realizing how much you can layer into the same game and keep it fresh.

You aren’t wrong though,

this game so mind alteringly hard and random it makes the Myst series look like 3/10 difficulty.

And not unfair! I never feel cheated or like I ruined anything! There’s mistakes sure, but eh, you’ll get it next time. You never ever lose anything you can’t recover.

Plus the real unlocks are the things you learn. The systems.

It’s a lot like Balatro in that way. You play red or yellow deck and beat Ante 8 boss and yay you won the game! Wow that scaling mult joker really made it happen! Fast forward a few hundred games and you’re trying to beat Gold Stake Black Deck surfing the absolute razor edge of numerical possibilities like a damn mentat human computer. You never lose at Balatro, you just start the next loop and you get better.

… with the dropping of the coin …

one of the best scenes in any game I’ve played

Makes me think of the first time starting Darkest Dungeons, hearing the narrator with an exhausted and despondent voice on the verge of tears:

“ruin has come to our family”

What’s your graduate degree in?

I am obsessed with Blue Prince, myself and some friends have been playing together and it’s the coolest game I’ve ever played. Truly one of the best games of all time

The cool thing is life isn’t over, you CAN respecc, just ask my cousin who switched from janitor/ gamer to software engineer over a few years of night study at the age of 35

This is amazing

We have the same horse!
