“ he also shared two Forpsoken trailers that make the game look appealing”

welp, I’m calling it Forpsoken from now on.

A Sting concert just brings MORE pain. 

Maybe if Phil had cleared out the cruft at the top of 343 preventing all the talented people from making their games faster and better (how many false starts did Infinite have? at least 2...), the game wouldn’t have been so expensive. Maybe if he pushed for a less exploitive monetization system, it would’ve pulled in…

Speaking of ‘Cancel Culture,’ I wonder how many games have just been canceled by Microsoft’s layoff culture >_>

It wasn’t that many >_>
There were way more FASA employees than Bungie.

I get what you’re saying, but 343 has been around for over a decade. It wasn’t just building up a studio. It was more established than a lot of studios.
(not that 343 wasn’t rife with problems, but as usual, the issues were at the top, and the people in the trenches got screwed :-/ )

He can do TWO voices, you ignorant slut!

Seems like it’s “IF it fails, having it horizontal will help it fail less.” but that’s all based on it having a major failure. A degree of risk management, not risk prevention.
I’m leaving mine vertical because I’m chancing that the risk isn’t worth the amount of work to retool my entertainment center to fit that beast…

Split, Mama, and Hostel? Don’t like 17 as a number for a list?
(fwiw, I did like the latter two, but... great? The Death Tribble movie?)

I think a more appropriate analogy would be if the understudy does the final performance, they change the cast list on the website to only mention the Understudy.
The issue with ‘Special Thanks’ is that it’s a bucket. 2+ years of contribution to major portions of the game or the dude who made the best lattes at the…

If you’re demonetized, you still keep all the money you already got for that video, right? They don’t withhold new money to ‘recoup’ that previous paid out money?
I’m not saying what youtube is doing is good or fair at all (it’s not!), but I would hope that these older videos getting demonetized wouldn’t make up the…

Curious - obviously Taco’s Puttin’ on the Ritz has probably passed its high revenue phase so the amount is negligible, but does this mean they no longer need to pay royalties on it? or does it matter that it was created while the copyright was still in effect?

Does it? I get the “need to work > 40% or 50% of the project” requirement, but getting sidelined by people who worked a quarter what you did on the project doesn’t sit well with me.

(Of course, so many people left, I wonder if that was in part to avoid making it look like 1000 people worked on it rather than to punish…

I worked on a big game for over 2 years of the 3 year dev cycle (technically more if you include the fact that I was doing 60-70 hour weeks for the final year before I noped out), and got ‘special thanks’d. Apparently the policy was you get credit if you’re there for the last 9 months of the game, special thanks if…

My kid was playing this game when it came out, and the first thing I said was “does the audio make sense when you’re playing? It’s a total mess where I’m sitting.”

The “your mom’s a fat slut” argument, however, remained.

I’m pretty sure the last guy fixed everything....
>_>

At 630 pieces, it’s more expensive, but at least still comes in at close to that acceptable $0.10 ppp. It’s a sweet set, and while my kid is nearing the end of their full on Lego obsession, I’m 99% sure this will be on the birthday list.

It’s really good, and probably only 9-10 hours. I take a long time beating these things, and I didn’t think it was too long. I also got hooked, so maybe stayed up later than I would normally to keep at it.
It’s only 10% off on Steam tho (and on gamepass if you have that), so if you want to wait, you’re only gambling…

I might return to this if it’s still on GamePass after a couple more patches. I got the “return to the mansion” bug and then the “boss is inside the walls” bug, and decided to play Signalis instead.
 Which, btw, is a fantastic decision everyone should make, even if HoL isn’t crapping out on them...
