Always thought the first game was overrated. Style over substance. I tried to like that game but I just got bored after 3-4 hours and never touched it again.

Did I suggest crunch? Did I suggest grinding down developers to the bone to get a game out a year sooner? No I did not, I am complaining about long development cycles without offering any solutions or much insight into game development. I know games have probably millions of lines of code that have to work together…

That is the wrong take. He didn’t say anything close to “the devs should just suck it up and endure crunch”. He said

The OP was advocating to “find a way” to cut down time. Not sure why you choose to assume 18 hour workdays or releasing a game that is a broken mess are the only solutions available.

Modern game development has got to find a way to cut down development times because I’m going to be an old fucking man before Shadow of the Erdtree, Elder Scrolls VI, Metroid Prime 4, and Silksong are released. Shit,  franchises only get about one release per console generation, two if it's being shared with last/next…

Yep, Arkane is dead and buried.

Complete waste of a studio’s potential.

Those are all classics, too, but they require an open mind and a particularly strong stomach (especially Subahibi - Wonderful Everyday), which is why I don’t recommend them to people without knowing they’re open to this kind of experience.

If you really want to hurt yourself, some of the most famously depressing and disturbing visual novels are all on sale. You and Me and Her, Muv-Luv Alternative, Wonderful Everyday Down the Rabbit Hole . . . They have freaking Song of Saya, and I had no idea Steam would even carry that.

It should be noted that several classics of the genre are on sale right now. Clannad, The Devil on G-String, Little Busters, Kinkoi, 9-nine-, The Fruit of Grisaia and Baldr Sky, for instance, are all being offered with some deep discounts and I encourage anyone interested in VNs to pick them up. Several of them are…

It’s not meant to be a gotcha: it’s meant to show that the original comic is so stupid that even an edit as mean-spirited (and almost as intelectually bankrupt) as this one is capable of making it crumble almost efortlessly.

Not sure why you’re bringing up Twilight, frankly. The original comic presents the argument…

it’s not a reach at all and i’m sorry that you think so. a simple look at the salaries of anyone working in silicon valley or the bay area would shock you. i’m not sure why you would think that social media companies would be more ethical than the government, especially when what we’re talking about are a bunch of 20…

i’m canadian, dumbass. my *wife* is canadian. i’m also a leftist. but i’m not about to paint the early years of twitter’s blue check program as some kind of utopia in order to create a narrative. it wasn’t good then, and isn’t good now.

i remember back when twitter started getting really hot, about ten years ago—my friends in the fashion and film industries literally sent champagne to twitter’s hq in order to get verified. it was never, ever, an objective system of user verification. 

For all of this comic’s posturing about “false equivalences”, I always found it incredibly short-sighted and a bit US-centric, which is why I make sure to post this response someone made:

I don’t buy that the creatives involved in the project honestly believe they’re making apolitical material, but I do believe they’d try to quell discourse before that material has had a chance to be seen in completion. I think that’s what this is. And if they really are oblivious to what they’re making, I think it’s…

literally the only legit take in the thread.

Looks pretty cool. Hope it ends up a decent game. Added it to my steam wishlist to keep an eye on how it's going.

Im not sure how I feel on the stolen assets claim. I dont know how much of GVH has actually been released to the public for them to steal assets from.
Additionally, this is fairly high effort as far as shitposts are concerned, and the furry fandom on 4chan is pretty darn dedicated. Additionally, this guy did his own…

I think you’re splitting hairs. It’s the design of the gameplay. Whatever you want to call it it’s what makes video games unique and is where the art in them that you can’t get anywhere else truly is. A good narrative without any good gameplay, or game design if you rather, should just be a book or movie. At the very…
