Im not a Console player, but I’m pretty sure whatever hardware you’re using should be able to outlast the Cheeto-man’s final term.

Yet, some of the most anticipated titles released are streamlined, soulless and boring. Every edge has been rounded off to such a degree, it makes Disney look gory.

Working in entertainment is privileged. It’s not a job you just happen to end up with by accident. Most people are there because they want to be there.

And yes, the shitty mega corporations will use that against you. And yes, again, your small indie company can get purchased and suddenly your boss is the shitty mega corp. But you have a choice even then. Try to get out on your own terms or stick around until it’s time to cut the fat and get fired.

You can think I’m a dick all you want. I have my principles and I live by them. I have taken jobs most people don’t even know exist, because they can’t even imagine themselves in a position that would ever warrant something like it. And I’ve quit jobs for less than how game developers get treated. I don’t care what I do, I care about who I work for and how they treat the people around them.

We probably all have our own factors that go into determining whether or not someone deserves our sympathies.

And there’s definitely some circumstances where I’m more understanding. Like, Ubisoft as you mentioned. I have zero relation to their products nor the company it self. They’ve never really been on my radar. So I can’t speak to that.

But then we have something like Microsoft. A giant among giants in the corporate world. You don’t become a 3 trillion dollar company by playing by the book. And I understand why people would want MS on their resume, but I can’t understand wanting to work for them.

But that’s just a part of my little black book. I imagine you have your own, most people do.

Even the Devs out of a job isn’t necessarily something you should concern yourself too much with.

Games development is a fairly privileged job to have and for the Devs working for big dubious companies…? Let’s not pretend like they didn’t know who they worked for, what they worked on and what the personal risks attached were.

I’d be surprised if it was intentional. It’s just poorly designed, likely because whoever made it doesn’t know to use Photoshop or Gimp or such.

The sentence is fun and makes for a fun shirt print. Just needs a bit of work.

This cannot have been made by anyone with legibility in mind.

Small black text, straight down the middle on a colored shirt…? Come on, I’m not a designer by any means, but even I know that if you go black text on a colored background, you highlight it with some borders.

Secondly, text that small? You can go bigger. Or you make it wider, from pit to pit across the chest.

Shadow dropping isn’t a new thing Bethesda just invented, so I doubt Oblivion would have anything to do with it.

Valve does what Valve wants to do. Always have. And they don’t have a tendency to announce anything years in advance to generate hype, because frankly, I don’t think they care.

It’s been 84 years…

Please stop defaulting to Half Life 3 when you have nothing better to write about.

Just played through OneShot.

Very good little game. I did take a bit of fiddling to get to work properly in Linux, but worth it.

Sadly Bethesda has the perfect fan-base. Obedient consumers that think anything they indulge in is beyond reproach.

And regardless of the dwindling quality, they will keep buying whatever is advertised.

In Christianity, I don’t think it matters. All the deities and other entities are vicious cunts.

Shiiiit, hell is full of children, dyslectic people and every person that used “U” and “R” instead of “You” and “Are” on the internet.

Well, the last part doesn’t surprise me.

Heresy!

“Moral ambition begins with a simple realisation: YOLO!” XD

I thought books was the thing they like to ban?!

Of cause I do believe it’s mostly children’s books, but still…

because the article seems more focused on smearing VALVe than reporting

I think we have an answer right there.

Well, it’s player based isn’t it?

The whole “Playability Theough Proton” rating system is based on player feedback, or at least that’s what I thought.

That was one of the few videos that scarred me. Never quite got over it.

I take a lot of breaks. Just a few minutes doing something else.
