But think of all the delicious shawarma they brought to the neighborhood. You'd miss the food, right? Comrades?
The sales will probably be average, no? Maybe they'll consider that failure. I feel like they are trying to target the degenerate half of the BG3 audience. The bisexual lighting everywhere haha. It looks like a visual novel game in the menus. Everything so static and corny. The levels/actual play is so on rails. You run through a trench, make choices that don't matter, and watch a cringe cut-scene every 4 minutes.
Because they are heavily prone to indoctrination. It's why government loves them. We have cautionary tales about women in groups, like The Crucible haha. The white feather shit from WW1 is particularly egregious as well, or how completely sucked into social trends they get. MSM in combination with state muscle, know how to manipulate that.
Yah. This is the one with the zipper scar feature.
Just another layoff factory trying to get some social media clout before they expire.
Their Pam replacement is hideous. They didn't even try for a GND look. So many uggos cast. It must save a ton of money. Show feels forced and iterative. Not a good trailer. It will have zero edge. Not self aware enough to push back against corporate culture, rather seems to be more about excusing it.
Yeah a detailed PBS piece admitting that Springfield was overrun with 20000 Haitians, but it's tough for everyone, ya know? They are so far from home and just wanna work the nice jobs.
The factory owner, some dude who runs a metalworks / welding. Says 30% of his workforce is Haitian and he'd love to have more. Gee I wonder if it's because he's paying them next to zero, in cash?
It's just so difficult finding locals.. Them wanting a living wage and everything. The islanders are easier to ripoff.. err, work with.
Karens have extinction levels of empathy, and their husbands are cucks.
After he confessed, he promised to reduce political content on Meta. Which was just an excuse to do what they are doing right now. Censor in favor of anything that makes the current admin look bad. But, but we thought you wanted less political content? Sowwy. Zuckey just twying to help. :( :( Him goodest boy.
Yeah. I worked at EA for about 8 years, and Zynga for another 4. I saw the replacement happening. Hell, Zynga had Product Managers from Enron haha! Guys were coming in straight outta Stanford and replacing game designers at both places. At first, it was EA game designers coming over to Zynga, because they'd been replaced by a PM. Then Zynga saw the results of heavy monetization skill from MBA's and started bringing them en masse.
Game designers at least would ask something like "But, is this fun?" which pretty much became a big no no.
They would look for people with masters in business, who could make presentation worthy models in excel. No game knowledge needed. At both places they'd have a runbook, called different things depending on team, but it was 'best practices'. Which means, take the tried and tested schemes that work best for your app, and alter the popups a bit to fit the theme. City, farm, cafe, etc.
Each team ended up with maybe, MAYBE one designer, usually in name only. Later on, often a chick for demographics padding. They'd do nothing but fuck around on forums, or write novels. (no joke, we had a chick write a trilogy at work) They simply weren't tasked with anything. I moved from design to tech art. Flash, actionScript, rigging just to get over imposter feelings.
I hated sitting around doing nothing while everyone was kept in permanent crunch mode so as not to lose momentum. Once you end a crunch, it takes months to get the drones back into a fast pace. Another sad element from AAA/Mobile gaming.
I dabbled in it for a bit tonight, finally getting an invite. If you've played Dota 2, you will have a huge leg up. I see some promise here. Potential. It's definitely going to need a dedicated solo queue. You're not going to want to be a team of solos versus a premade. I know most MOBAs are like that, but it feels like it will be even more egregious here, as the time between base and lanes, and lane to lane is so short. Coordinated rotations are going to be absolutely brutal.
Defense seems... Impossible if either side has any momentum. I'll have to study more, just my initial impression. It feels like there is going to be a lot of base racing. 'Jungle' is static and boring, the pinball style popup mobs in the (urban?) jungle need some polish. I wonder if they'll end up putting random item drops on them like in Dota 2.
I like that some of the shop spells are actives. Again, like Dota. You buy an item, it has passive stats, and an active ability/cooldown. So you can end up having 8-9 active choices to make (or spam) once you include your character soul abilities. Lots of the spirit powers seem to have some flexibility. Enemy target vs ally, etc.
The mobility is really nice. Aiming is easy. I like the drop off range of the different guns and attacks. Not bullet drop, but just less dmg outside of optimal range. Denies are great. It's got promise!
Thank you. I'll check into that. Maybe I get lucky.
Nice! Thank you.
I know. It was more of an exclamation and general request. Even when Valve makes a 'failure' like Artifact they have a cool design process to learn from. The best are those old making of TF2 videos. Invaluable stuff.
I still don't get it. I've had trans people around through diff friends, and at jobs. It's just.. silly. I mean, I would love to be able to fly or have super powers, but in the end. I can't. I'd just end up hurting my mundane self.
Same thing for ppl trying to game nature and swap sex. You just end up destroying yourself, for at best a crude imitation, and more likely a disfigured calamity.
Best thing people can do is just learn to accept themselves. That's what is preached everywhere, but kids learn that nobody means it.
There's positive aspirations, and then negatives like this. Maybe some people take follow your dream way too literally.
I think a ton of it is degeneracy. Then a different faction, sees the easy mode attention girls get, while boys are basically invisible, or worse, outcasts. So they think, if I could be a girl, it would be like cheat codes. Nobody is thinking ahead to when you've fucked your life up beyond repair, and only appeal to a limited fetish group when it's all said and done. After forcing friends and family through an obstacle course of confusion and chaos.
I went to Full Sail for animation. It was already leaning towards woke a bit. Not because the teachers were activists or the school was compromised, but because it's so easy to just teach woke shit. You don't have to think. In the long run it's a huge disservice to the students.
The audio program and film program were already so saturated that even the most dishonest of teachers were telling kids that they would have to intern for years after they got out (aka free/serf)
The game program didn't teach enough coding to be useful for getting hired back when I went. Maybe that's changed now.
Game design is a dead end anyhow. If you want to do what game designers used to do (are supposed to do) you need to go the Product Manager route, which is an MBA degree. Nobody is hiring designers anymore. Just PMs. Focus on monetization schemes, while the suits 'design'. Which is mostly just copying what is popular.
Of course, that's all for getting a job. You could prob learn the skills for making a game on your own from Full Sail.
I need an invite!
Maybe if these knives could be sharpened in a more respectful fashion? They just press them against a whetstone or a stone disk. That has to be dehumanizing. It could very well be why these knives are lashing out against their neighbors. Consent has to be a part of the entire process. Ask yourself as the knife is sliding between your ribs, if you might have been a part of the problem?
I propose we send the knives to hug academy, rather than embrace the far right rhetoric of remaining un-stabbed. It just feels too soulless and pragmatic to avoid the difficult topic of how the knives feel. Everyone knows being stabbed by unsheathed culturally diverse knives and shivs that identify as knives isn't happening it's a good thing. Who are we to try and colonize the blade's traditions?
Hmm. Inspires no interest at all. I've seen this story 1000 times. It's like Brave set in LotR. Blah blah princess doesn't want to get married, and she's the baddest dude in the kingdom.
They made fatPOC vitiligo, queer and mentally ill for extra checkmarks. The mainPOC is of course queer, and STEM. The huwhite character is troony. They travel, eat food a lot, and tell you about their feelings and all of their childhood trauma. You gotta give gifts to boost relationship, which unlocks more childhood trauma confessions.
Too many twitter tards gaslighting that the Algerian was an XX. The Italian chick apologizing to the cheater didn't help matters.
The average age of their soldiers is like 48 now. It has to be at least 500k dead + double or triple that maimed.
ability to provide equitable care to all
Doomed. When they can't say 'equal' you know it's fucked. Equitable means no white men.
Wait she's crying about Neely being 'murdered' but also thinks men should defend women on the subway? Brownshirt.
