On the other hand, making me a beta tester for games I paid AAA prices for leaves me with a very negative feeling. You only get one chance to make a good first impression.

AI isn’t concerned with lowly human notions such as scabbing.

I get how the blockchain works.

I was responding specifically to the end of your comment:

What happens if/when the servers your business is located on are switched off?

I probably should have quoted you.

Cries in Rock Band

I think it started after the first time he ‘died’ (was inmobilised in battle). It’s just so creepy. So far, it’s only him (thankfully).

Molyneux is the Shyamalan of video games. He’s done a couple of brilliant things, some decent stuff, and a lot of batshit crazy cringe-fests.

New titles are like Christmas poppers. You look forward to them because you remember that first time they were fun, but then you crack one and remember they’re mostly a mix of disappointment and the faint waft of gunpowder.

Wow, it’s chilly in this epic shade.

In a capitalist oligarchy? There’s really not.

Yes, this, too. :(

Oh, I’ll keep going, for sure! (…with one eye on developments.) But now I also need to prepare contingencies if their licensing goes the way of Avid, Adobe, and most recently Reddit and the bird one.

Something major might have to change and I can’t be blindsided by it, so I have to carve out time to deal with this, anyhow.

Well fuck me, apparently. The Adobe and Sibelius fees already break me, and I’ve invested enough in Unity assets (not to mention the learning curve) to get a game close to preproduction, and this could drive me out.

I’m a tiny Dev just trying to break into VR, console, and mobile by myself, and am dirt poor with no support, just my knowledge and talent. I’m working on three beta projects, but this makes me scared to continue on Unity.

I’m a good designer and developer with industry experience, but my health has forced me into smaller Indy projects. I put all my eggs in Unity’s basket and now it feels like they’re ditching me just at the point I was ready for production.

God dammit. :(

Honestly, I should set up a psychic shop. Surrounded by this much iridium, plutonium, and heavy metals, I should be able to see the future, right? People have definitely got superpowers for less. And I’ve heard I’m a mantis (then again, I’ve taken a few good knocks to the head recently…)

What does ground alien horn do for me? I don’t care, it’s MINE!

I’ve been a sneak thief since Morrowind (I pickpocketed everyone’s clothes in Skyrim and turned Winterhold into a nudist colony) and learnt long ago that half my gameplay consists of slogging inventory between vendors. Doesn’t mean I won’t still complain about it the whole way.

e: I already have a respectable stash of plushies, and I squeal audibly when one turns up in a cupboard. The whole reason I started caring about ship crafting was I got a new ship during a quest and my captain’s safe was empty, and that’s where my plushies were. I had all the rest of my cargo, but apparently your captain’s safe is unique to each ship. I think it still counts towards your tonnage, but I’m not sure.

Either way, I’d filled it with the plushies I’d found and freaked out that they were gone. That was the first I cared enough to go online to find a solution. If it had been anything other than my plushies, I probably would have just moved past it.

Oh god no

Like three hours in I encountered the dancing corpse bug – basically a staple. Never change, Bethesda. 🥰

(e: I’m throwing shade, but this is an epic game, truly.

e2: also, search for ’dancing corpse bug’. It’s been in Bethesda’s *physics engine since the beginning. You’ll find video examples in every game they’ve released. Some of the videos are hilarious.)

🎶 It’s the circle of looot
It encumbers us aaall 🎶

(Also, how the actual f*ck was I carrying all this?!?)

(Video, best with sound. It was so weird.)
