Which honestly impresses me that the For Honor development team did enough research to actually put this technique in the game.

Were it not for the fact that I’ve been emotionally attached to this screen name since the late 90s I would change my screen name to BestHyperboleEver

I watch for several reasons - it just depends who I am watching

1) Game reviews - although not a review per-se, watching someone play a game for the first time live gives you some fairly honest feedback as they run into things spur of the moment. It also gives you an idea of the game’s pacing and flow rather than video…

I’ve heard of that - though mostly in the context of players who play card games such as Hearthstone (and I think in one instance Street Fighter V when I was watching Level Up Live though I could be mistaken on that one).

True, which is something I left out of my analysis - streamers that work more on being entertainers by either the personality they create or their actual personality don’t rely as much on being “good” at a game as some. My analysis went that way because it dovetails into a secondary related discussion I’ve frequently…

I shouldn’t have used the word skill, dexterity should have been the word I used which is something that decreases with age and depending on the types of game you play that can be a HUGE factor.

Which is great; honestly I have nothing against people streaming for a living, hell I watch more twitch nowadays than I watch television - and I sooner watch streams for opinions on new games than read reviews - my concern is just from a life of seeing so many young people find something that is generating money but…

There’s no definitive answer to that question - depends on the person and depends how they carry themselves as well as the type of person conducting the interview. Whether or not I’d be concerned by a listing like that would depend on what sort of vibe I get from the person I’m interviewing.

And full disclosure - my…

Spinning it that way does but any reasonable interviewer will look into that or ask for more detail. As someone who has conducted job interviews before I can tell you that (depending on the level of experience being sought) that delibrately vague statements do get picked up on and questioned further.

I have a couple friends trying to break into this and a neighbor who is reasonably succesful at it (1200 active viewers when he streams).

Honestly as tough as it is to break into - I’m more curio what the future planning is for some of these people who are making enough to get by but not enough to cover for retirement…

If I’m playing Mercy in Overewatch and you save my ass, I remember.

Or really anything this guy has done, hell look at Scryed - same thing. As one of my friend put it “He has one character, and A LOT of wigs”

I don’t mind so much so long as the microtransaction doesn’t jeapordize the gameplay. This is VERY true with F2P games where you find the paywall that a F2P player cannot get past - that’s where I draw a clear line of I will not continue to play or support your game.

But when it’s a title that I feel I’ve enjoyed and…

Seems as good a time for this as any

I remember reading somewhere a comic joking about player attitude while playing a Souls title and it may apply here.

You start the game - see a giant boss and you are scared as fuck wondering ghow you’ll defeat that thing.

By the end of the game however it’s when you see a human sized opponent that you suddenly start…

There are actually cheap legal clinics where you can get this help. Some of them depend on your job but - for example I’m a panel attorney for California Lawyers for the Arts - my rate sometimes drops as low as $60 per hour based on client income. Other times it can be done pro-bono if she finds the right clinic to…

Game breaking no because mechanically the game was fine. But the fact that the support conversations were just generic “I’ll help you out” lines that were at most two sentences hurt character development immensley so I wasn’t invested in the cast, even the ones carrying over from Path of Radiance. Which is a shame…

I’ll admit it’s bizzare but at this point I believe the romance nature of FE has become part of its draw to the new audiences. It is divisive and with good reason - as a long time FE fan myself I will admit that this focus can be problematic (Fates) but at the same time this was a franchise on the brink of death prior…

I wish I could have liked Radiant Dawn but what they did to support conversations was unforgiable.
