Why are we posting charts from hour 1 of a Thursday release
At that point we're just discussing the download speed

I think part of it is length of games compared to a movie/a season(still has that keep up language) combined with a lot of games coming with chores or other daily activities. Players seem to want more updates, more communication, more access, compared to playing and moving on

Match quality this, queue time that, social pressure whatever.
Getting my light mech blown up in 3 seconds as I'm taunted in a language I can't read just so I can wait 15 minutes to run it back on the same Oceania server with 300+ ping taught me valuable lessons on patience and self reflection

If I go the rest of my life without seeing a steam chart player count I will die happy, multiplied by a thousand when it concerns a random free beta or weekend

In smaller teams/indie there's just as much fun in taking three people and free roam to run an idea up and try and pivot and stay super mobile.
But it's nice to focus on nailing my skill set and contribution over maximizing hats.
There's always a tradeoff in team org and style, not a replacement

A fun thing in AAA is grabbing latest after a frustrating bug and seeing the unified effort of ~30 talented people appear in the time it took to iron out a wrinkle, then realizing that's a multipliable factor over the game. Great sense of scale and trust to make the best sum of all our spaces

And even in a time when so many are shutting doors and laying off, I know my AAA package went further than my indie severance.

it is deeply funny to me that Saudi Arabia takes over EVO and then immediately suggests a format that would only have SonicFox win forever until they got bored from a lack of competition

Char Aznole closing his season by catching up with and then diving tackle downing a dodging elf ball carrier just so Olmuro Ray can pick up the ball and bring it in for the win is everything I needed from Bandai Newtco's blood bowl season
The pairing stays consistent across all media

I will never shut up about Steel Lancer. The sports seasonal framing gives a great pressure for the constant tuning of your parts and strategy, and the L1/L2/R1/R2 limb controls just flow. Chip decay is an added pacing nuance, and the murder mystery may overegg it, but it's so cheesy that you smile.

Hey @discord.com where do I send the self addressed stamped envelope containing my opinions on the QuakeLive loadout update, MAG trophy achievements, and favorite McC2 team for age verification?
I also fixed my Star Wars Ep 1: Podracing on Game Boy Color for rumble to work so I have more references

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

The problem with liking Gundam and retro handheld games is that I can *not* read Japanese

I had to time all of my work in a live ops cycle to the minute with CL proof because production dismissed my timing records and promised leadership even more content in the same sprint
There was satisfaction in responding to "well if you hadn't done this-" by silently ticking the 45+hr/wk total by 1

The best part of Hard Boiled is how every gun fight has the same movement as the average Ultrakill level and then the jazz comes in and the bester part of Hard Boiled is-

As a Rumbleverse, MAG, Hyperscape, Dust 514, Tribes, Diabotical, Evolve, AC:Brotherhood, MGS:O, Evolve Relaunch, and Last of Us Multiplayer enjoyer it brings me no pleasure to say that Highguard is fun and I really want to play more

I once designed, pitched, and got a sitcom style multi-cam setup and room blocking approved using a half-painted kill team and terrain to angle my phone camera

I've been working on a game pitch and story dear to me, "ENGINE ANGEL", with the team at Ivy Road!

We're still seeking funding, but in the meantime I wanted everyone to still be able to share the work they've done. I'll be sharing more as well as reposting any of the team's posts so stay tuned!
