I have come to love Warsaw but it's got one of the worst night skies I've ever seen. The moon and Jupiter, that's all you get. Tough luck we exist to suffer

Was doing the platinum on Cyberpunk 2077 and the base ending, the β€œyou haven’t done enough side quests ending”, is truly bleak… like it’s a punishment but not just to the player… to all the NPC’s you didn’t help. Everyone’s lives go to shit…

Honestly. more harrowing than the β€œsuicide” ending.

Nihilistic cynicism is a lot like cigarettes..sure, you look cool to your friends but it's killing you and everyone around you while dickheads get rich off you

my view is if you're posting anything other than The Horrors, it doesn't make you a bad person. You're just trying to find joy in the small things to keep sane. It's not apathy, it's a part of being human.

Basically everyone who's ever worked with Matthew Lillard says that he's one of the nicest men in Hollywood, and I firmly believe that's true.

When I'm brainstorming story stuff, I sometimes try to talk out loud in a rough approximation of the character's voice, but working on a character now whose accent made me feel racist so I just do an Arnold accent instead

Google please stop trying to help me write better with ai. Yes your version is more concise but my version sounds like me and not language purΓ©e. I did not come this far in life to have a computer mark up my emails like I'm in Mrs McCarthy's fifth grade English class. I make my own rules, robot

two oblivion npcs talking in the imperial city

two oblivion npcs talking in the imperial city

"hello!"

"what's new with you?"

"nothing i'd tell you about."

"i hear the united states has armed paramilitary in the streets attacking their own people, and even kidnapped the president of venezuela."

"the united states seems to be getting more dangerous by the day."

"take care."

"bye."

Others have already said this, but just to be clear, you are all having discourse about a comment someone made sarcastically. He only referenced artists who achieved success after 30 in his comment. You are all living life on a hair trigger.

Putting megaton on a list of the best cities in games should immediately get you sent to the hague

Then it's probably a stew

I reached a point with my frostpunk 2 game where I suddenly realized that, barring a miracle, 2/3s of my population, tens of thousands, men women and children, would soon freeze to death. What an awful feeling, I love videogames (I abandoned the save rather than subject them to the white sleep)

And broth is basically just tea, and nobody thinks tea is a meal

Sounds like it might be a stew

For the record, zurek, while commonly considered to be a soup, is very obviously a stew in part due to the fact that it is a meal, ergo, a stew and not a soup

Soup is not a meal. A stew? Yes, meal..soup? Nah uh that's a soup

I have worked in AA, AAA, indie and mobile it’s all the same just people trying to do a job. Plenty of good teams and individuals in all them fields. I don’t get the lines drawn trying to separate it all as it’s all game dev.
