@ScourgeHH @OgSaage @monsterhunter This^ it is always better to focus the resources into creating one of these to the fullest than sacrifice to make all of them and not be able to release them until Summer of next year.

@OgSaage @monsterhunter That would take waaaay too long to implement

Here are your finalists for the #MHWilds Design Contest in all their glory, as voted by the community! The #MHWilds dev team will pick one weapon and one pendant to be added to the game, which we'll announce on Sept 27. bit.ly/WildsDesignCon…

Btw AI is a speculative bubble Generative AI especially will be largely extinct once the hype wears off and venture capitalists realize they are burning their money. The technology consumes far more value than it creates which is unsustainable in the long run

Let's do this but for video games. Mine is Killer Is Dead. That game felt like a fever dream and I didn't know what the heck just happened to me after I finished it in one sitting.

The things that surprised me at #TheGameAwards : - Fallout winning best adaption over Arcane (Fallout is fantastic I was just shocked) - Onimusha!!! - Intergalactic being in engine. The visuals blew my mind. - RGG Virtua Fighter??? I'm curious if they can live up to the series.

@FranklyGaming I think the main thing people don't realize is how difficult it gets for QA to catch bugs on games of this scale. Bugs can be so unpredictable with some happening on different systems or because of a PC part. They don't have all the configurations or time needed.

Do you guys think it’s ok for games to release broken? Weird question, but I ask because I’ve noticed over the past couple of years, the games I truly love pushed the boundaries, and because of the risk taking and difficult development released broken. Cyberpunk 2077 had a ton of bugs on release but I never felt so immersed in a game. Baldur’s Gate 3 was completely broken in act 3 with half the quests not working for me but is the most reactive and impressive RPG ever made. Stalker 2 breaks half way through and can’t be played but is completely captivating in other ways. Maybe games taking big risks and being broken day 1 is worth it? I’d much rather have a broken product on release that becomes a masterpiece over time than just an alright title day 1 that took no huge risks. Obviously having a masterpiece with no bugs day 1 is ideal, but you can’t always have your cake and eat it too. And pretty much every game that really reminded me how great games can be the past couple years, was a buggy shitshow on release due to ambition.

Damn Capcom what you got against Insect Glaive users??? Feel like been ruining what I enjoyed about the weapon in Rise and now Wilds!! 😭 #MonsterHunterWilds

Can't wait till I build my new PC. Got so many things I want to try and prototype out! The ideas. THE IDEASSS

A friend of mine got reported because of a viewer being malicious against them. It's disgusting behaviour and @Twitch needs to have better systems in place to deal with false reports.

It's so frustrating that I've lost the chance to see @oasis twice now. First time bank froze the card because they thought it was fraud, and now this time because the Ticketmaster site just kept telling me every seat was unavailable at this moment Actually fuming.

@jadel4w Right now I'm waiting for the Indie Revolution. There's so much talent in the pool right now for there not to be batches of them going. "Let's make something." Then hopefully we will see more junior roles open after the next 2 years of these companies starting.

So just to be clear, Wardog didn’t stop hiring juniors because of the industry downturn or employment trends. It’s entirely unrelated. We’re just going through a bit of a transformation I can’t really talk about right now. Don’t expect any roles listed for 2024, except maybe a production role as we are a bit tight there :p I don’t think the overall industry will return to ‘normal’ as it doesn’t tend to move backwards. We’ll discover a new normal. My gut feeling is that labour will shift abroad to cheaper countries as education and infrastructure for remote work improves. Why pay California salary to someone in the Midwest when you can pay Eastern European salary to someone in Eastern Europe. Outsource is doing well and likely that’s where more art jobs are headed. Studios will have mostly supervisory roles or artists setting benchmarks inhouse and most general asset development that would have been given to juniors will get farmed out. Kind like VFX. I find this future bleak as it means more artists won’t actually understand development. I hope I’m wrong

You know I'm a simple man. I see @vorpahlsword on Breaking News and I have to watch. It's mandatory.

I tried Xbox Game Pass on the Amazon Fire Stick last night and honestly what an affordable way for people to game. Until every game is available on game pass it won't be AS good as having the console but this makes it super affordable and accessible.

@0xhayleydev It's always rough seeing the enthusiasm beaten out of the seniors but that's another good part of new hires and juniors! Bringing in that spark of life!

I had my appraisal yesterday My lead told me that I've brought back their spark for work - given my enthusiasm for the role and industry They also thought my enthusiasm was fake when I started, but it's genuine; I love my job This has been my dream job since I was a kid

For new Elden Ring players: - Using spirit ashes is OK - Co-op is OK - Using any build you prefer is OK - Looking up a guide is OK - Power leveling is OK - Asking the community for help is OK Don’t let any elitists ruin your fun in the lands between or the lands of shadow!
