Thank you solitary rook who failed to jump me in outpost when I had my headphones off only to start slinging slurs for giving me an actually ethically justifiable reason for a <10s final circle execution.

Dynasty Warriors Gundam is giving me a newfound respect for Kamille
I am *struggling* to keep everyone from self sacrificing and oops we get to reset thirty minutes because Quattro got stunlocked and comboed by Haman while I was dealing with Emma/Recocca and all of their Scirocco nonsense line

So I may have seen "grand strategy Gundam" and blacked out a bit.
I can't read Japanese

That engines can just be swapped or that some have an implicit "better." An engine is a tool not a solution, and what's vastly more important is if the team has familiarity and a pipeline to use that tool.
And that's before considering how much of a box engine gets rewritten for a game's use case

game devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?

I want to re-emphasize one part of this Xbox story: Half of the 3,200 cuts are happening today and half are happening in the next 12 months. In other words, even people who survived today's layoffs will have to spend the coming year wondering if they're going to be next.

I know 9 episode premium is the template, but Persona would be fucking perfect for 25 40min episodes of Yu's Declassified, complete with filler episodes and detached comedy B-plots slow-burning the team dynamic.
There's even in-universe justification for the traditional ep14 beach and ep19 musical

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work.
I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

If I was in control of a decade long run as the default engine with a pipeline of resources around making game logic in a visual scripting tool that entrenches people in its design I don't think I would announce that I'm killing it to go back to a text script in the coming years and expect applause

Tuner was incredibly surprising. Expected more of the Baby Driver character action feel, and instead got a tight character drama that uses that driving audio focus in its own distinct way. Big recommend on the best sound system near you
