The idea, of course, is that everyone has needed the protection of the union coming up to prevent exploitation. The games industry is young though, and hasn’t gone through a lot of the stuff that older industries have. As you see more developers go through exploitative shit as young developers, I think the idea of…

No no no, Jerry Jones made HER take a knee!

That’s not necessarily true for all of the developers though. Engine developers are hard to replace, it’s a job that requires top-quality coding skill and an extremely strong grip on mathematics and physics to do well, essentially you need to be a genius, or damn close to it. If a union could get the engine developers…

Someone should just play this at the White House Pres Corps Briefing:

Would it have mattered though? He votes in San Francisco and California...neither of which went to Trump.

It’s Alzheimer’s. His dad had it, Donald almost certainly has it right now, it’s Ronald Reagan all over again, except this time he doesn’t have a competent team guiding him.

The weird thing...his whole thing isn’t an act, as far as I can tell. I was working at Seattle Children’s Hospital when he visited one time, I was in a network closet as he and his group were passing by (I think to leave) and I overheard the conversation...and it was all about Jesus and God. I honestly think he’s…

I mean, maybe. I’ve tried it and while it is cool, it’s not $300 cool. In real gaming terms, I could also see it being a huge pain in the ass, having to take off your headset every time you need to use the bathroom, take a drink or eat a snack. What’s more, as someone with neck pain problems, I dread the thought of…

Weirdly enough, my cousin actually goes there for their wings with his wife. I don’t quite get it, the wings aren’t anything that special.

I have no idea what either of these wines are.

So...how do you get NFL players, 100% of them, to give their brains to CTE research? You can’t force people to give their bodies to science.

NASL originally was a bunch of pissed off USL (aka the now 2nd and 3rd division) owners, of the biggest USL clubs no less, wanting out of a fairly corrupt and going no where league. At the time, I will say that I was rather sympathetic to the NASL cause, but when the Cosmos and now Miami FC came in they derailed the…

For those not up on their knowledge of the lower divisions of US Soccer, this isn’t surprising but it’s pretty unlikely to go anywhere. NASL has needed waivers every year for the last seven years to meet US Soccer standards for division II, US Soccer granted those waivers because frankly, at the time, there wasn’t a…

Hehehehe, you’re funny. I get it, you like open source, but in the real world of AAA game development you need those tools. Windows is probably what your game is going to run on, so you probably want to develop on it too. Open source graphic engines, modelling tools and voice and sound tools are fine for smaller…

Another great example of this is Landstalker. There’s a part of the game where you have to get into a “ballet studio” in America; in Japan and Europe that ballet studio was listed as what it actual was, a brothel. As a young kid I couldn’t figure out why #1 a young boy (your character, as an elf, looks like a child)…

I have to say that I felt disappointed in Dishonored 2, and the idea of going back to Karnaca does not fill me with joy. By the sound of it, Billie plays like a less interesting Emily, which isn’t all that thrilling either. I’ll probably wait until the expansion is really cheap or just read a plot summary before…

Let’s look at a low paid tester on a 2 year development cycle game. In my area a basic tester is going to be making a minimum of $16/hour, that’s $33,280/year base salary. Add in that they’ll probably do at least 3 months per year of 80 hour weeks (roughly 13 weeks), that’s an extra $12,480 per year for a total of…
