It would have been published on PAL region official PS magazine cover disc and you would have a game on black Sony PAL disc to show around
---------------

@mike.garcia#0 - 2024-02-04 12:42
It would have been an impressive start and stood out
---------------

@mike.garcia#0 - 2024-02-04 12:44
Programmers tend not to be famous tho
---------------

@mike.garcia#0 - 2024-02-04 12:45
If you want to be famous start a crypto currency lol

Thats now shifted to this content for fame mentality
---------------

@mike.garcia#0 - 2024-02-04 21:00
I hate the word content, its reductive, its low effort churned out on mass... and fame is egotistic, ie narcissism, we live in dark triad times
---------------

@mike.garcia#0 - 2024-02-04 21:01
weve come full circle when retro gaming youtubers are making NESMaker or playdate games

@molit#0 - 2024-02-04 21:04
hahaha

@mike.garcia#0 - 2024-02-04 21:08
the word content is right next to the word indie for me, anyone that says either is delusional and not a pro
---------------

@molit#0 - 2024-02-04 21:08
what is a pro?
---------------

@molit#0 - 2024-02-04 21:09
anyone getting paid for anything is a pro
---------------

@mike.garcia#0 - 2024-02-04 21:11
hobbyist get paid, a pro does it for a living
---------------

@mike.garcia#0 - 2024-02-04 21:16
I had it clear in my mind the difference between indies vs pros Ive forgotten most of it
---------------

@mike.garcia#0 - 2024-02-04 21:17
indies tell you what you want to hear, a pro doesnt
---------------

@mike.garcia#0 - 2024-02-04 21:18
indies make regular videos a pro doesnt
---------------

@mike.garcia#0 - 2024-02-04 21:20
the word indie is never defined... you just have to self identify as indie, its a joke
---------------

@mike.garcia#0 - 2024-02-04 21:26
if you want to hear some mental gymnastics

This was from Nintendos 3DS developer support forums... they dropped any restrictions and well the indies in came lol... it makes the Net Yaroze newsgroups look like AAA professionals
I doubt most even bought any development hardware.

it sounds harmless, nobody is getting hurt, but I saw one guy (not a program or one with any history) sign up nindies and started a Patreon, taking peoples money, on hopes and dreams
