This survey is an absolute joke on every level. The survey design was bad, their methodology is haphazard, their sample is completely unrepresentative, and the results are worthless

The fact that this survey gets reported on as fact every year is actually super fucking damaging to workers in this industry. Legitimately very harmful.

Since this thread went viral, I want to follow-up my dire warnings with some helpful resources. I dug into my memory banks and asked some friends for recommendations

Diesen Katastrophenjournalismus, der bei der Berlin-Wahl erst nach dem Wahltag ausbrach, hatten wir in Sachsen-Anhalt den gesamten Wahlkampf über. Seit dem Wahlerfolg der AfD ist auch der wieder Geschichte. Dieses Land hat offenbar einfach kein Problem mit Rechtsextremismus.

A drum I want to beat:
Overwork starts with management and planning, but half of why it happens is team culture.
Nobody has more impact on team culture than senior team members and lower-middle managers
If you are in the trenches and someone folks look to, then your example defines team culture

My stance on game pricing is that we need to tax the rich

Game design thought:
I think almost every game above a certain scale would be improved by more negative space.
In pacing, in physical space, in vibes

I literally do not think it is possible for a gacha game to be good. I think the business model is both fundamentally opposed to good design AND fundamentally immoral
So unless they like, manage to really silo that part off to the side as a totally separate thing... guess we'll see

One case is Hidemaro Fujibayashi. He was the director of three Zelda games at Capcom.
He was later hited at Nintendo and directed Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom. He’s high up!
He has not mentioned the Capcom Zelda games he directed at all since joining Nintendo.

Half-formed thought:
Dedicated game devices will always be important. Not for any technical reason, but because of their power to frame the act of play.
Setting expectations and mindset are SO important to how players experience games. The context you play within is a huge chunk

Something I didn't really get into is the fact that trying to create the benefits of crunch without crunching can easily fall into a "just get rid of red tape" kinda trap. But the problem is, at big scales, the red tape is there for a REASON! And part of that reason is to protect downstream teams.

The outputs of their algorithms is also the output of their own aesthetic, built up over time with experience and iteration. It is not just "random content"; it is a distillation of the lessons that they have learned, and in turn articulated and taught to a machine.

Die CDU will gar nicht über eine Regierung abseits der AfD reden. Für mich trägt die CDU damit eine verdammt große Verantwortung dafür, wie es jetzt weitergeht. Wer jede andere Möglichkeit ausschließt, muss auch erklären, welche Perspektive er Sachsen-Anhalt stattdessen anbietet.

Hätte man wirklich ein Interesse daran gehabt, den Protest der Zivilgesellschaft in Sachsen-Anhalt sichtbar zu machen, hätten auch das die Titelseiten der neuen SPIEGEL-Ausgabe sein können. Man hat sich aber bewusst dafür entschieden, einen Rechtsextremisten das Blatt zu überlassen.

I watched some of the St. Paul City Council hearing on the increase in people's property taxes and the disagreement between regular workers and progressive activist groups was impossible to miss. Fred Melo summed it up in Pioneer Press: www.twincities.com/2024/12/03/s...

Silver lining: I can now brag about the AMAZING STUFF I GOT TO DO.
There was an policy of not publicly taking credit too much, since everything was the work of many.
_I_ don't think it's a zero-sum game. I did some really cool shit!
