I actually don’t know, I stole this meme from some bird people.

I will try to track the og poster down and ask them for the source, as I am now curious as well.

This is really improper horse riding technique. Its nearly essential to yell ‘yee haw’ when doing any sort of horseback loop.

I also didn’t hear any “Whoa there” but that one is highly situational so may not apply.

This is definitely one of the weirder missteps by From.

I’d like to know what the decision looked like internally, because I somewhat refuse to believe they just overlooked it.

This is going to become the new AAA normal, isn’t it.

That is partially what inspired me to post this. A lot of business advice I have gotten has been staggeringly bad.

I realize most people have worked at a business and should know a thing or two about how it works, but I don’t think many consider the huge differences between their workplace and how a small business operates.

Here’s a weird one:

Don’t offer advice unless its something you have some experience with.

Googling someone’s issues and giving them a boilerplate answer from the first thing you find isn’t helpful and can actually be a hinderance more than anything.

Yeah, probably.

Because of many factors, we’re seeing an erosion of the ‘third place’ which has been somewhat replaced or supplemented by the internet.

But now the internet is turning into a watchdog which desperately wants to monetize you, or direct you towards something that it can monetize.

Its hard to say while we’re in the middle of it, but I’m going to assume fifty years from now people will say we took privacy for granted and didn’t realize how influential algorithms really were.

I don’t know if it would ruin the entire movie per se but if you’ve heard Darth Vader (David Prowse’s voice) pre James Earl Jones dub, its definitely a character ruiner.

I can’t think of many movies where voice work is detrimental to everything except documentaries, but I know some games have annoying protagonists and it absolutely harms the whole experience.

You’re at +1 now for me.

Oh lmao nice

How many wishlists is that?

I think Eboshi is actually evil, but she’s charismatically evil so it comes off different.

She allows her own people to be bombed, she abandons the wounded from her caravan, and she’s effectively tricked the lepers into working to death for her. She could have given up on the forest spirit many times, but left irontown under siege so she could have a chance at killing a god.

She only cares about her people so long as they’re empowering her. She listened to Ashitaka talk balance but the minute he went to enforce it, she tried to kill him.

Every time she apologizes and says she will do better, and people forgive her, but she doesn’t actually change her ways.

I think this is why Ashitaka ultimately stays in the town - To basically keep her on the path and to her word. (I don’t recall if he literally says that)

You can report the video.

But to be blunt, I wouldn’t really worry about it. Most people don’t pirate, and trying to chase pirates down isn’t exactly going to convert them to paying customers as they’re not the type to buy it anyways.

Do frequent smallish updates to add QoL options, bugfixes, etc. (As you should be anyways) This will make the store version superior and making pirated copies obsolete and require new versions to keep up. Obviously additional Steam features are valuable here too as you don’t quite get those in alternate versions.

I’ve demoed my games at conventions and had people tell me to my face that they’re going to pirate my game. I’d offer them a free key instead and one guy said he’d prefer to pirate it, so idk some people are just extra.

I’ve played enough RimWorld to know I wouldn’t be totally ok in any of these scenarios.

All it takes is a random bug bite or infection and home meds just won’t be enough.

Hardware being changed up makes sense. Feels funky that MS would pull a bait and switch for a game project, but its hard to say if that was MS or Molyneux being funky since they both have a history.

I mean it just goes down to whoever uses it first, then all the others effectively never had a time machine.

This sounds dumb as all heck but a Fediverse equivalent of LinkedIn. Not some corporate hellscape, but something geared towards semi-pro or hobbyists who are looking for collaborative projects. It would serve as a portfolio and a way to group up and network.

So for example, you’re a YouTuber who is looking for an editor. Its not career pay but its a paid side gig. Or maybe you’re an audio guy and are looking to get into the film industry, and want to see if there are local indie films looking for your skills.

There are ‘services’ for these but they’re either adapted from something else (like Reddit or Facebook) or they have some aggressive middleman monetization. And many basically require you to host your portfolio elsewhere, which is sometimes funky to run your own hosting.

Not in game dev lmao :'-(

How are you going to acquire the voices? By recording other media? Most media has some sort of license attached, and recording it (for movies and shows or music) isn’t usually something allowed.

It seems like you got your taste of social media, decided you were essentially done with it and moved on.

I am just about in the same boat, I feel social media doesn’t offer me much that I value, and so I have been looking elsewhere.
