One thing that blew my mind is how Metroid Prime's re-master credits have over 300 people and take six times as long as the original credits that only had 60 people. Even a re-master has giant teams from around the world. That's the cost of asset production in games now.

I understand that a lot of the criticism is about Bezos overriding the editorial independence if the newspaper, which in itself is hugely problematic. But it doesn't change the fact that a newspaper explicitly undermining their journalistic integrity is really weird thing to do.

My feed has a lot of people criticizing this, but I've always found it weird how American news outlets endorse political candidates. I don't see how you could trust any reporting - about either candidate - after an endorsement.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

An endorsement of Kamala Harris was drafted by Post staffers but had yet to be published, according to sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The decision not to publish was made by The Postโ€™s owner, Jeff Bezos, according to the same sources. wapo.st/3Uqm5K9

@dan_vogt Pitch meeting: what about instead of aliens, 4WDs, and exotic locations, we make about dull political drivel set in boring grey offices? Oh, and get rid of Halo man's iconic armour as soon as possible to, that shit's expensive.

I watched most of this essay about the Thrones-ification of modern television. youtu.be/ei1QhjvNnVM?siโ€ฆ The series about 4wdโ€™s, spaceships and shooting aliens is somehow endless political and bureaucratic bullshit?

Also I'm genuinely glad that most people cannot correctly guess the engine just by looking at the game, it says that the art has had enough work put into it that it doesn't look like out-of-the-box Unity or Unreal.

One again this PAX when people asked what engine I'm using I asked them instead to guess. The results: Unreal: 19 Unity: 6 Custom: 1 I don't know if this is more positive for Unreal or Unity, but I do appreciate the vote of confidence from the person who said I made my own ๐Ÿ˜„

Arrived and setup for PAX mere seconds before the doors opened because the Melbourne marathon cut off all traffic from the southside to the conversation centre, turning my 15min drive into a 1hr 15min drive ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
