Git gud is a lie. I’ve beaten every soulsborne FromSoftware and I remain terrible at each and every one of them. I just love the gameplay no matter how many defeats it takes me to progress.

More companies need to stop having firm release dates.  Just say you expect it to be released in quarter/year, and don’t give something firm until you’re ready to go to production.

yea, always build in a global pandemic to every gantt chart!
