hahaha okay this guy straight up tells you though ‘i was in my dads nuts when fallout was out’

i also love video editing like this that just shoves memes in every thirty seconds. i hope this guy figures out how to read his scripts better and is exposed to more esoteric shit to edit in and reference constantly

not watching the deep dive part but the 2:30 in the beginning is like. yep hes right. good job keeping it under 20 minutes

the biggest offenders of youtube edutainment are the fuckers who just read wikipedia or make AI scripts and that has nothing to do with age

Piñata Puppy World looks inspired by Indigo Park, which is fun for having a well-animated & voiced mascot you want to help

rambley-raccoon-rambley-raccoon-train

tho the rest of the game is the same old ghost train gameplay

the liminal/horror parts of these games are wrecked by being video games, and presenting a polished experience for the players. a complete lack of dead ends, am I supposed to go this way? which doesn’t match the actual anxiety from wandering around a place & getting really far looking for a short cut and finding a locked fence around a substation blocking the side of the church you’re sure should be open to the public. what if someone shouts at me or politely asks me to leave??

I hear Netease is moving dev to China to keep post-launch costs down. Fucked up. I don’t really know what to tell students who wanna get into this industry any more.

it’s basically like Film and TV at this point where people are only hired for the length of the job except without the associated protections and unions that have been created to sustain working on that kind of schedule

since my layoff I’ve been worried the only way I can stay in game dev is if i emigrate to a country with an affordable cost of living and also worker protections because Americans are so expensive to hire now

the team laid off looks like they were a support studio and NetEase seems to be just getting out of anything not in China (like when they closed the studio that made Visions of Mana the day after it shipped)

anyway, congrats to American devs on becoming the cheap outsourced labor
