    Lemmy shitposter thinks House of the Dragon actors are not a valuable source of opinions outside of acting, even if he does agree with them.

      I’m unsure if OP edited their post or where you got their opinion, but the post was a decent read. I wish games were treated as an art form instead of just a business. Good storytelling in games seems few and far between.

        I mean it’s kind of par for the course. Movies have been considered an art form for a long time but they’re first and foremost treated as a business by those in control of the money

    Niantic has the tools in place to pull off the next big thing, digital graffiti. You don’t need a shoot-em-up FPS or quests or anything like that, just give people the creative outlet to scan an object and draw a massive penis on it and share it with the world.

          Fair enough. I feel like they exist at this point to just bolt a licensed IP to Ingress.

            It is so sad that they killed Ingress with their shitty new scanner app. It is out for years now and is still running like crap on my 2 year old upper class android phone. I really loved that game

              I loved that game for a brief time, but I felt like I could have gotten into a car accident with how much I was trying to take over outposts.

      You’ve almost described Jet Set Radio Future or Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, although those games are single player.

      There is a multiplayer mod for BRC though.

      Generally the type of people who make graffiti worth looking at aren’t the sort of people who want to draw with a tablet and stylus.

        Seems like a win for society if a significant percentage of the people making graffiti not worth looking at would switch to digital instead of physical graffiti then.

    I think one issue is that UE5 has all of its out-of-the-box toolset geared towards making a fortnite type game since that is Epic’s main focus at the moment.
