100000 points of psychic damage learning the Justin Roiland game is directed by Alec Robbins. unrecoverable amounts of damage. I guess the secret of success is being an annoying fucking shit!!! AHGHGHHGHGHG

enjoyed listening to these adults geek out over hot wheels

as someone who lived in LA, that def helps with regards to getting jobs at indie studios but… being a dude really helps more than anything else.

oh yeah, there’s an endless amount of other identity attributes I would be happy to facetiously nitpick if I were professionally jealous of this guy in practice – I just googled around for his age because I strongly suspected (and was correct) that he was born in 1990-91, and I find that mini-generation has been given a lot of professional opportunities to define millennial shitposter voice for whatever reason. I was being (enthusiastically) facetious about the LA thing, being a dude is definitely also a contributor, if anything it’s just a boring one to point out

if you’re talking about Alec i don’t really know him so i don’t wanna presume cuz i don’t know how much is him playing a character and what the real person is like. have had some nice interactions with him on the internet though. i just mean more re: the whole LA indie studio thing… them being more easily positioned to get snapped up and published by Annapurna or someone else with money def is a thing. but there’s a lot of other factors involved obviously.

I mean, my entire personality is also pretty much a bit at this point, who am I to judge etc, I agree there are a limited number of places you can usefully go with professional jealousy

it’s true! however, everyone knows it’s not a meritocracy - because it really isn’t at all. i’ve def spent as much time as possible trying to continually outline this fact to other people in games who don’t seem to get it.

The developers talking up the ā€œart styleā€ for the photoshop-filter-looking character portraits in As Dusk Falls is just offensive to the visual novel as a form. Hire some illustrators! I promise it will look better!

this segment was obscenely bad. every single thing they pitched as a radical idea was so fucking stupid and already exists.
