- Ask V if he'd help us decorate the Xmas tree.
- It's your idea, *you* should ask.
- I asked last time - about skating. Your turn now.
- Oh no, I just realized... THIS IS A TURN-BASED FRIENDSHIP!

Just a regular reminder: if you're fabulously rich and don't know who to leave your fortune to - I am a trustworthy candidate.

Yesterday, Arvy and I were made aware that this character exists for children in Germany. He's depressed because he burnt out (badum-tss).

ppl are way too obsessed with individualism and then become overly nihilistic when they find out just how insignificant they are in the grand scheme of things like yeah man maybe that should encourage you to be more cooperative and empathetic in solving problems

I'd say it's not about the amount of cutscenes but rather seeing the enactment of the narrative intention. And also performance, which in games is usually limited to v/o or cutscenes. I enjoy performance!

Film-like storytelling and gameplay storytelling aren’t opposites, just different languages

I desperately want to hug the entire team behind Dispatch!

I am so happy they pulled through with their vision exactly as they wanted. Whoever didn't give them money can take an L.

If you are thinking "it isn't fair that they have a 4 day work week and I don't" you are right! Fix that problem by forming a union and bargaining for what you need.

As I'm told, checking my information costs money.

Well, if 30% of all future profits isn't enough to fund that, would be nice to at least know about it in advance. A bold red font would do, thankyouverymuch.

PSA: Steam doesn’t make this clear, but if you create a Steam page for your game and list yourself as the company (e.g., as a sole proprietor), you won’t be able to change it later once your actual company is set up.

You’ll have to create a new account and pay the $100 fee again.

A very interesting piece to consider as I'm pretty sure this type of thinking has already made its way to the game industry.

I hope we all find out the names of people in Rockstar's management & HR who made the call.

And I do hope they'll be found liable for openly breaking the law & face same hardship in future employment as the folks they put "gross misconduct" on.
