RIP an absolute legend of this style of hard-surface modeling. 😥

Dead-inside Peter Parker.

He’s listening...

Noticed a lot of the accounts most upset seemed to be UK based ones trying to get the Equality Act abolished.

If this wasn’t full of COVID-19 references, I would think this was published 20 years ago. Also, that quote from his mom...

“What are you going to do when you’re married and stressed? Tell your wife that you need to play Xbox?”

Is it 1992 again already?

As a mid-30s guy who played a lot of games, specifically Animal Crossing and its built in sense of virtual community, during all of this to keep sane and in touch with friends and family, this NYT article can kindly fuck off. I’ll keep sussing my 8-year-old nieces and nephews in Among Us from afar on a weekly basis (be…

I am the resident kotaku monster fucker

I never interacted with András personally, but years later still continually discover and am delighted by his old work at Kotaku. Wishing his loved ones the best. 

Wow, this is heartbreaking news. András was such a wonderful, pleasant, polite, hardworking member of the team. He will be missed. 

I’m looking at the articles he wrote and realizing how many of them I recognize.

Goddammit.

I know this doesn’t make what’s going on right now that much better, but here’s some good news:

I’m hoping some developer gets the idea to make a Shadowrun game just to spite CDPR.

It would do them no good to get involved in the current firestorm on CDPR’s behalf. It works in their interest to simply refund people and made CDPR pay out at some point. That said -both- Sony and Microsoft have done refunds on much smaller scales console wise for a good number of years now. It’s extremely rare…

Ha ha man, I remember writing here before the game came out about how it had much the same setup as No Man’s Sky. Way too much hype, eager fans with imaginations and expectations run amok, no possibility in hell it could ever live up to what it was being sold as.

“CDPR! You were the chosen one! You were supposed to bring balance to AAA game development, not become just like everyone else!”

I hope they raised hell. I don’t know what the labor landscape looks like in Poland, but goddamn if this game doesn’t make a very strong case for unionization all by itself. Devs had their fingers worked to the bone and this was the result.

Good management ability should be rewarded. If anything, that would send symbolic signals that hopefully will shift the culture of game development. Hearing how Hades was developed made me want to play the game more, and that is something we should promote.
