They're talking about cost to the developer, not cost to the user. Creating, marketing, and distributing a game all cost money.

Aw this is a cute one

He SAYS he has it, but he's a massive liar. He may have it, or he may not have it, but if his word is all the evidence we have, then we have no evidence at all.

I don't know what you intended to link to, but this just links to an image search results page with a random assortment of seemingly unrelated results

Yeah I'm confused about what that word means here. Given the "lesbian" part of it I was thinking maybe it meant married? Started dating? Had sex with?

That is a very rare opinion. It does happen, I'm not saying it doesn't, but it is very uncommon. People may say it to you as some sort of gotcha in their attempt to deflect from examining their own actions, but it isn't a sincerely held belief by almost anyone. Eat what you want, and blow off any nonsense that haters spout.

And I'm saying this as an omnivore, so no one can say I'm coming from a defensive position or being uninformed about what meat eaters think

Octopus in the right circumstances could literally break your arm with the force they generate. And tentacles could easily swing an axe. And they could easily twist bolts, in fact there are videos of them doing that type of thing on youtube. And there are tons of land mammals that have prehensile limbs, like elephants, monkeys, etc. I'm not sure what information you're using to mentally model what tentacles can do, but it's quite inaccurate

Your arguments aren't based on anything, and are clearly biased toward your own image. Even just limiting ourselves to known earth-forms, from an objective standpoint the octopus form seems at least as well suited to tool use. 8 limbs that can work fully independently on 8 different tasks, AND can be used in synchrony to work on a single task, AND have been shown to do extremely fine manipulation of small objects, AND has suckers all along the length of each limb that can be controlled in precise segments, AND has full continuous deformablity in every direction rather than a very small number of joints that only operate in a single degree of motion. It's really no contest, the octopus form is superior

Um, yes it is. This is a very well known general truism. Destruction is almost always easier than creation. For example which do you think is easier, painting a complex painting, or destroying a complex painting?

Great write up! There were a small number of items in the descriptions that I didn't know what they were, for example RNG and Eurojank

And you listen to them to figure out what's correct and what isn't?

I don't know who gave you that idea, but it's incorrect
