See also the loot and reward systems in games like Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Experiencing a world takes a backseat to RNG, stat manipulation, and blushy-crushy.

And the music rivals the best music from any game. I remember playing this when I was 10. Me and my brothers got together money to buy this since it was such a huge cart memory wise which made it expensive.

I think it says more about you that you consider 5 short sentences to be “insufferably long” than it does about Tim Rogers.

This... was a perfect response. Why does it have no stars?!

So, I only heard about Ninja from the Drake stream and I’ve never actually watched his videos. I’m not defending the guy as a fan or excoriating him as someone who doesn’t like him. Here’s my opinion on this (oh, I’m also white guy, so feel free to ignore this or accuse me of virtue signalling or I don’t know,…

Yes how dare I inform people how to report trolls.

Yes, how dare I be intolerant to intolerance.

I find it amusing how you think keeping racist assholes who aren’t looking for conversation and are here to just harass is “gatekeeping”. Which is very telling of you political views considering that you also think me informing people how to report trolls is “crusadership”.

I’m going to recommend that commenters not reply to the bigots and trolls that will inevitably swarm the comments section with their gatekeeping nonsense. Rather, report them to the Kinja Helpdesk (http://kinja.desk.com/customer/portal/emails/new), including links or screenshots of the troll’s comments. The mods will…

The problem here goes both ways. White people use this as an offensive racist comment, Black people gets offended by it even if its not offensive to them because they think they are being racially oppressed by a picture of fried chicken, Asian people (aka me) eats the chicken and dont care cuz its fried chikin

You’re getting a lot of hate, son. I for one appreciate this behavior, especially in a game about pirates! Pirates have no code, they don’t owe anybody anything. Keep on pirating, it’s how you play a game about pirates...

I definitely have done some dick moves as a righteous indignation. I came into a game with an in-session player. A 2 man sloop with a guy who was pounding out chests. Our hold was filled with a good 15 chests and skulls and a few explosive barrels. I tried to engage with the player and he was unresponsive. He never…

Huh? Whats happening to your dental plan?

Fascinating interview with MacLean Jason, good job. Her lack of answers and I’m guessing purposefully incorrect hypothetical of what a union could achieve for fame devs seem a poor attempt at manipulation. I’m interested to learn more about the organisation she works for - who funds it?

And cats would lay with dogs, it’d be chaos I tell you, chaos. Or not. That’s the same sort of bullshit people pull out when folk talk about the minimum wage and it’s no truer then than now.

Your interview with Jen MacLean was kind of frustrating to listen to. She had one or two good points, but on the whole she just seemed to be be naysaying without offering any alternatives at all. It was good that you kept pressing her on those issues, but I don’t think she sees how useless her approach is.

Utter nonsense. The US stopped producing good cars because they stopped designing good cars. Workers organizing had nothing to do with that.

The cost of making a game would triple. The game would not get bought because few customers can afford a tripled game. The studio that skyrocketed the cost fails. The other studios see this and realize they can’t allow the cost to triple, the market adapts and new ground is broken.

This. I’m an employment and labor attorney that almost exclusively represents employers. I’ve gotten a reputation among my friends as being anti-union due to my work and what I say about it. That simply isn’t the case. I usually deal with teamsters in the Midwest. Most of them have been completely mismanaged to the…

“The industry chews up developers [...]It demands massive hours, and a lot of technical skill... but really doesn’t reward those efforts.”
