- I dream of businesses that have "no tipping, please" signs because they pay their service staff enough to not make the survival of the average worker dependent on kindness from people with more wealth.

- Obsessed with Clair Obscur, Felvidek, and Lunacid at the moment. I'm finally getting my "Weird fucked up vibes" itch fixed in some incredible experiences big n small.
- Reposted by AdamFeel like I should add - I don’t think the students are “bad” for doing this. Why wouldn’t they? Who wants to spend 10 hours writing an essay when you could be done in 1? But I happen to agree with the old grumps that critical thinking is essential and if we don’t have it as a society we’re toast.
- Reposted by AdamPretty clear to me that all written exams should be in-class blue book, and professors/TAs will have to have formal 5-10 minute discussions with each student at the end of the term to make sure they actually understand the content of the course. Otherwise, we’re a functionally illiterate society.

- Reposted by AdamAnd it's the only reason we're getting this many games that *look as good as they do* now, made by handfuls of people. It's because Lumen/Nanite have freed them from these workflow impositions, they can apply that effort elsewhere. For all the problems those systems present.
- Reposted by AdamPlayers discuss this most often when it comes to rendering? Like - the point of Nanite/Lumen IS NOT gigashit graphics for players. It's to smooth over a million iteration-blocking workflow issues... at a known runtime performance cost.

- Reposted by AdamOne of the wilder and stupider arguments for game preservation that I’ve seen: it allows you to legally prove you made your own games.
- Guy claims he wrote a bunch of shit that Bungie stole for Destiny 2. Bungie can't prove they didn't steal it because they deleted the first two and a half years of their game from being playable. Judge rules lore content videos aren't acceptable substitutes. LMAO www.forbes.com/sites/paulta...
- Reposted by AdamI visited the public defender office in Jackson in February. Horrifying as this case is, it isn't unusual. PDs say prosecutors routinely withhold discovery, dragging out meritless cases for months or years. When judges finally force their hand, they drop the charges, sometimes the day of trial.

- Clair Obscur has a difficulty that definitely leans towards "Fromsoft frame vaguness" in it's QT combat reactivity. If there's a language to it, I havent found a consistency in it, outside of (g) attacks. Still, feels great when you do figure it out even for part of a fight.
- If your strongman competition meets twice every seven years does that make it a biceptennial or has that community never considered framing meetups around wordplay.

- Clair Obscur has invisible walls Clair Obscur has geometry you can get trapped inside by accident Clair Obscur has stiffer facial animations than you'd expect Unsurprisingly, none of this matters. The game is fun. The focus was on fun and intrigue. The game was made for audiences. More of this.

- Worst advice I got when starting in game dev: There are no bad ideas. Yes some ideas are just bad but figuring that out is literally part of the growth you make as a developer. And in some ways, part of the fun! (my idea of fun is weird.)

- Reposted by AdamThe US as a whole is seeing the same social contract as the south being recreated here. A sicker, poorer, uneducated society made solely for the benefit of preserving white male hierarchy. That's what this is all about. We don't need to look overseas to see where this leads.
- I feel like the reason NPC death in video games is so easy for players to accidentally do in sim-rpge is because they're basically piloting a giant robot and trying to walk through a drive through. No sensory scale of force means it can be applied dangerously, easily, with little malice.
