I wasn’t asking for personal information beyond whether or not you’re in or adjacent to the industry, or anything I hadn’t already shared myself, peace ✌️

Do you know people working in gaming or are you working in it yourself? Because “just ask for overtime and you’ll get it without any repercussions” absolutely doesn’t match the experience of anyone I know. Especially since people tend to jump from big studio to indie, not the other way around, for quality of life reasons.
It's not like designers in big studios are just twiddling their thumbs waiting for the rendering engineers to finish the peach fuzz on people's cheeks.
Okay! I don’t think that either. I think they’re underpaid and overworked like virtually everyone in the games industry and unable to put out quality products because of arbitrary deadlines. That kind of thing is much more common with AAA games (which studios don’t seem to know how to define either, given that now they’re going on about AAAA and AAAAA games) than it is with indie games.
Graphics are cool! I just also think the story, mechanics, and game difficulty balance should have an equal amount of consideration, which seems poorly lacking in a lot of modern AAA games. A mile wide and an inch deep is a saying for a reason.
That wasn’t the original experience on Xbox? 😜
Poor sound balance in modern media is real, but so is auditory processing disorder. And the two together suck ass.
I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.
I bet the sound of them all flapping in the wind was wonderful!
No problems for me on Tesseract, this post or previous ones.
Wow, that’s extremely disappointing. I had a really positive experience with them a few years ago when I wanted to exchange what I got (it was too quiet for me), and they just sent me a free pair after I talked to an actual person on their chat thing. It’s good to know that’s not how they are anymore if I ever need to replace them.
Also one of the jurors in 12 Angry Men. And a super racist dude in A Raisin in the Sun. Dude had range.
Absolutely bonkers to go “40% of the state voted against Trump, therefore everyone here wanted and deserves to have the measure they passed by 58% overturned.”
