Ironically I’ve found it’s harder for people to run away in remote, people don’t disappear from their desks and you don’t have to chase them down. If they don’t message back and it’s urgent, you call and if they don’t pick up a call and haven’t marked themselves as such something’s up. People are extremely dilligent about making sure they use status’ due to the knowledge that people will assume that way.

The idea of planting a potential scorched home only to find out it was the location of your favorite chalupa place later on

For more context. He was fueding with someone who was enthusiastic about DnD

Ape Escape. I would love one with the scope of areas similar to Super Mario Odyssey

Promenade

A short 2D Collectathon in the style of 5th Generation games of the genre. Jump into a 2D world and explore, solve puzzles and overcome challenges to collect gears to take you higher. A beautiful art style and soundtrack make me wonder why this wasn’t talked about more when it came out earlier this year

MMOs surprisingly have a strong controller play base mainly thanks to FFXIV. Considering it’s WoW’s strongest competitor, a controller layout is a solid idea

It was marketed decently enough. I remember seeing a release date trailer in 2022 and it was a known quantity before that. Was even at The Game Awards last Year. There’s definitely heavy marketing right now though and it helps that the numbers are so high.

I am surprised by how one of the really first Chinese AAA games released on Steam is surprising people with how well the Chinese like it

We live in a time where people are extremely desperate to make out Taco Bell as awful and McDonalds as good. You don’t need to justify eating bad food. Sometimes you just need to eat a shitty taco or salt with a side of potato. Sometimes you just need an avenue for grease. No one needs to be a health influencer 100% of the time

It’s great how this panel naturally evolved

I was so sure this had been cancelled. Glad to see otherwise

Mashiba Vs Sawamura still not animated is criminal

I mean, I will. I literally said that.

I’ll have to look later but it will be good to have sourceable evidence for this if it’s true

All I hear are excuses

We found it

If Spider-Man was invented today he’d be considered a self insert. Jaded nerd gets super powers and constantly inner monologues he could beat up his bully

Ignoring the success and failure of agile and waterfall. Waterfall was just a way more enjoyable development experience for me. That would probably change if the cycle was lower though. Also doesn’t help that many managers I’ve had don’t follow the rules of agile/SCRUM. Seems like people use it as an excuse to be able to change things on any given day but those cycles are supposed to be planned, not the plans.

Dumb people will double down in an attempt to present they were always right, even after they admit they were sort of wrong. If they can reverse that previous loss into a win, they were always right.

Ok

Yep makes sense. I mean it’s clear people hate deep systems when something like Baldur’s Gate 3 becomes the undisputed Game of the Year /s
