I was also struggling with this until I started doing a lot of early game stress healing. Once you get a couple of positive relationships, your party all but manages itself. Which is, imo, a mixed bag. Read more

Oh trust me, I know lmao. I opened my previous one with “By the end of the Activision Blizzard trials (because remember, there are several), I will have read enough legal documentation to bluff my way through the bar exam.” These will never end. Read more

Parts of Activision Blizzard are unionized, but devs are not I believe. Read more

I think these are some fair criticisms! Expungement is definitely a standard practice in cases like this. I think I could’ve done more to highlight both that fact, and the reality that expunging in this case is particularly complex given the DFEH’s own investigation. This is something I’ve tried to balance better in… Read more

Correct! The specific issue is that the EEOC is allowing ActBlizz to alter evidence as part of the settlement, evidence which is essential in the DFEH’s own trial. Read more

do i feel bad about the typo? yes. was this a very good bit? also yes. Read more

Run, jump, hit, shoot, talk, etc. Things you can do in the video game. Read more

I’ve seen other reviewers come in around 30, and the devs claim 30-40. I think that its all really dependent on how much you talk to folks and how good you are at video games. Like, I can see someone who doesn’t have much familiarity with Action RPG puzzle design getting stuck on shit. Read more

Genuinely pretty great! Thanks for reminding me that I need to get back to Anodyne. Each dungeon has pretty good skills tests but I found it easy overall. It is just hard enough to provide some friction to the player, while not making you slam your head against the damn thing. Read more

The game is firing off themes and ideas with wild abandon which I would respect if it felt like...intentional. There is a way to make a cool game about how you make meaning by just throwing 10,000 ideas at the audience or whatever, but this ain’t it! Read more

Yeah! I think the narrative really tries to play with a lot of plot and character beats it thinks are cool, but never takes the time to dig into them. It leaves so much on the table, which is a bummer because I think the ideas its playing with could’ve been really cool! Read more

Seeing this made me search to see if this comparison had been made before, so here’s a piece all about that! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/disciplines/i-want-your-love-i-want-your-revenge-no-more-heroes-series-analysis Read more

Alva is not framed as a child. There are multiple (uncomfortable) scenes predicated on her massive boobs. That room was hers as a kid, and she hasn’t it since her grandfather passed. Isabel is explicitly her girlfriend. Read more

They share a bed. Read more

It is very easy to prove a specific negative by providing contradictory evidence. Read more

Yes, I do. While judges do throw shit out, U.S. jurisprudence is still based on precedent. This is why court cases like Roe v. Wade are significant. Throwing out precedent is the exception to U.S. legal practice, not the rule. Read more

In French law burden of proof is solely on those accused of defamation. Read more

Learning games is so fun too!!! Like, digging into a new piece of design can be an absolute joy. Read more
