Tbh this is why I tell people I’m in the entertainment industry, and if they’re curious I explain more but otherwise people understand that better lol
"I'm a game developer."
*extremely long, awkward pause* "oh... uhhh... yeah?"

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

The genAI gooner trend of generating video of what grandma thinks video games are is extremely telling that these people wish very deeply they had any inherent value knowing they can never make anything people want themselves lol

Anyone hear a name that makes you think "why the fuck would anyone give their kid that name?"

I have to imagine most independent game developers who’ve only released like 2 games but are seemingly well off financially actually have a massively successful drawn tiddy secret side hustle

I'm not a Dark Souls enjoyer, but I am a firm believer that this is the correct approach- that if you're getting your ass handed to you, maybe you need to do more stuff first. Players don't have a whole lot of patience anymore to learn a game, so they get mad when they have to use patience lol
Part of me feels like Dark Souls wouldn't have caught on if the first game had difficulty settings. It'd be "cheap", "pointless", etc.
Arcade games had a relatively granular difficulty option via credit feeding and it played a big part in them written off as "button mashers"/"quarter munchers".

Ok so, I'm probably going to halfheartedly play FF8 Remastered with boosts- I really don't like this game, and the first ~20 minutes of it always reminds me why haha
BUT, I would like to at least experience the story.

Hmm. I'm a bit lost now.
Last year I ran through FF4 and 5, and over the past 2 months I beat FF1,2,3,6, and I just ran through 7 (I've beaten most of these before, save for FF2 and FF5). DEBATING on going through 8 and 9. Never beat 8, but never liked it much. HMM.

I've been looking at the Metal Slug 1-3 A LOT over the years and noticed this at the end of MS3 stage 2.
1) Crop of the bg just before the boss comes in.
2) Crop with a sprite that was overlayed removed.
3) Just that sprite.
4) Generic smoke puff animation the sprite was taken from.

We've really gotta stop calling new adaptations "remakes".
Eg- There's a new Alice in Wonderland coming out by not Disney- it is not a "remake" of the cartoon, it's an adaptation of the source material. The new Running Man movie is not a "remake" of the film, it's a new adaptation of the book. etc

I'll admit, while I think this is a good thing, I have never, ever, had any good luck navigating Microsoft's Xbox docs lol It's like the documentation is for *everything* Microsoft related, and not just Xbox, and in order to ask questions, you (seemingly) need to pay for their support services.
Microsoft drops NDAs and publishes Xbox Game Publishing Guide public, NDA-free and accessible to everyone
makes planning and launching games on Xbox consoles and PC easier for Indie Developers.
