Totally missed that more layoffs happened at firaxis. So insane to me that jumping ship from the games industry, from one of the most consistently successful and profitable studios in the industry, to Twitch Streaming resulted in an increase in job security. Everything is fucked lol

i think one of the sadder effects of the ZOS/firaxis layoffs is that the east coast is once again bleeding talent as a result

This came to mind because a friend shared a dev post from Firaxis about how they're rolling back what is essentially the central core change in Civ 7 from previous games to make it more like the previous games in the series, which to me, is incredibly disappointing. /3

Firaxis did, and that's how we got Xcom

¿Por qué nadie me dijo que el Midnight Suns de Firaxis es como los XCOM pero divertidos (lol), con mamarrachadas fanservice a espuertas y un sistema de progresión a medio camino entre los Persona y la kripta de los Mortal Kombat?

fyi recuerda que en su momento lo canjeaste instintivamente en Epic 🤡

I'm intrigued but don't know the games well enough to know the difference.

XCOM (Firaxis), Deep Rock Galactic, Vermintide, Valheim...

Are these all menus games? And where would Superhot fall?

I know it's a meme but finding the edges of something can be fun. :)

Beyond Earth, de Firaxis, faisait légèrement différent, avec plusieurs axes.
Ça reste le même concept de base.

J'aimerais bien un jeu où le brassage des civilisations est une des clefs de l'évolution.

Yeah you could absolutely lean into that element if you wanted. Even the Firaxis XCOM has that one particularly notable Newfoundland mission that introduces Chryssalids

If you all allowed I will post a little lament, I want to work on Arkane or Firaxis as game designer, or level designer, or world designer since after I finished college back in the day, playing those games in 2012 was a revelation for me, I wanted to work on games since I was a teenager, but...
Pixel art of Corvo from Dishonored 2. Vector art of player classes and enemy aliens from Xcom Enemy Unknow, Enemy Within and Xcom 2, War of the Chosen wasn't released when I did the art.

to get work as freelance for indie games in my art style but still wanted to work on Arkane or Firaxis and never knew how to do it, how to be able to even talk with someone with some guidelines of where to start to build a portfolio, having no experience with any game engine and time was passing...

EMH, you shall always be the blueprint, and your spirit lived on in Midnight Suns
Logically, Disney was not in the wrong for wanting audiences to have a particular version of the Avengers at the forefront of their minds. But that synergy stranglehold has arguably done more harm than good—younger fans have come up thinking the Avengers are the literal center of the universe, while older ones know they’re just a superhero team among many heavy hitters. For the MCU, this focus has made various team incarnations feel barely established whenever a new universe-wide shakeup occurs. Too often, audiences are asked to get invested in the current roster for a particular film that often loses at least half that lineup by the end, and then this process repeats across other films until it’s time to bring everyone in for a saga-ending crossover. In speeding to the endgame, Marvel does a disservice to the Avengers and the idea of getting invested in their group outings, none of which have ever just been a regular team-building day. Meanwhile, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes is all about team-building: so much of Earth is the Avengers hanging out in different groupings, and to pretty good effect. (Hawkeye’s relationships with Hulk and Black Panther are particular high points for many; Wasp not really having a character beyond loving Hank? Not so much.) The medium of TV lends itself to these character dynamics much better, and it’s easy to imagine how the future Civil War season would’ve built off that, especially after season two tackled Secret Invasion. As a live-service game, Marvel’s Avengers couldn’t really have a similar level of character interplay, but Crystal Dynamics made an effort by giving each DLC hero their own mini-story campaign to establish themselves in this universe and why they’d join the team. For those wanting to play as Marvel superheroes in a single-player title with greater depth and relationships to them, Firaxis’ Midnight Suns more than gets the job done.

notably the system (powered by googles' Gemini LLM) doesn't know anything about what it's proposing, so while some of the video suggestions just aren't interesting (no offence to Firaxis but I can't imagine wanting to talk about XCOM2's map gen) others are, uh, literally impossible.
