      I unironically played nothing besides that game for a majority of high school and had no idea Squad was a Mexican company. Shame ksp2 apparently was not great

        Steam still has it in Early Access still but is charging $50, full price for something they can’t call complete. Gamebreaking bugs and FPS drops to 10 sometimes, it needs work but it seems like Squad is letting the community do the work for them like KSP1.

          Squad is not developing KSP2

          That’s why when you launch the game it says “intercept games” and not “Squad”

          I’m starting to think you may not have played it since release though.

    I think we’re beginning to see Mexico flex it’s cultural muscles out of the latinesphere.

    Not videogames, but latine culture inspired shows like Villainos, El Tigre, and my personal nostalgia bait MUCHA LUCHA!!!, definitely foretell Mexico entering the same space of cultural influence in the west as places like Japan with Anime and JRPGs

      You know uhh, no comment on the shit flinging in the comments, but I’ve always liked latine over latinx, feels more natural to use a vowel there than like, an x. Shout out to latiny as being the highly underrated evolution, which unifies both the use of a vowel and something adjacent to the x, while also sounding really dumb and funny.

      I dunno. Seems similar to the outcries and moral panic that people used to have against neopronouns, or pronouns in bio, to me, without realizing that they use neopronouns all the time whenever they call someone dude or bro. I feel like I’ve left this comment here before, but I do wonder whether or not neopronouns like dude or bro are more acceptable because they’re kind of a more natural integration into language than most of the academic postulations on “oh, what if we made a gender-neutral singular pronoun”, or if they’re more acceptable precisely because they’re kind of gendered. We’re all dudes, hey, but at the same time, it would be kind of stupid to say that dude doesn’t refer to or see use by mostly men, and is kind of gendered. I dunno, I’m sure “dude” and “bro” were pretty heavily hated when they were used, so maybe it’s just that whenever anything novel with language is done, it’s doomed to be shat on relentlessly by prescriptivist nonces.

      I dunno maybe we all just need to speak like, ithkuli or something, so nobody ever talks to each other.

        Oh god imagine putting the world through learning to be fluent in ithkuil XD

        Maximum expressiveness, maximum migraines

        I’d be thankful just to get a spelling reform but English has somehow descriptivized its way into having worse spelling than prescribed written languages.

    9 years of shadows was developed by a Mexican studio. Kind of a shit game with charming visuals and repetitive gameplay. I 100% completed it and hated most of my time with it. 2/5 would not recommend.

    A big problem will be that it’d be super easy for an aspiring and talented Mexican dev to just get scooped up by a US company. Brain drain at work.
