Idk this post doesn't exactly read as "stunted", I think it's closer to "articulate and eloquent" ๐Ÿคท

Like, I understand there aren't really a lot of winning plays right now; you can't un-book Bit Brigade, this isn't their fault and they should not be blamed for people wanting to see them.

But a lot of people who are really important to Magfest are very upset and there's real damage being done here

I don't think blaming this on the person before you is going to make many people happier.

Yeah, I mean, "all new set" either means something or it doesn't.

It's just sad. We're knee deep in the "who cares" age of human history, and Magfest was supposed to be 4 yearly days where the answer could be "we do"

Seeing them flaunt in their PR that they embrace the era of not giving a shit makes me really sad.

It's also not a new set

It's kind of wild that a bunch of people were mad enough about this to risk jeopardizing their future chances of performing at Magfest, and a repost with the same typo to try to clear quoteposts was the chosen way forward

Whenever the word "perk" gets said when discussing a game I'm getting a similar form of anxiety to the one I started getting from "skill tree" a few years ago

This is a really fantastic article. Crystalizes so many of the nameless fears I've had for years now.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

My conspiracy theory is it wasn't just cost cutting, but also "shit guys what do we do about the genderqueer bird"

Yeah, totally went under my radar, because Peacock has no (spoken word) voice clips in the English version, nor do any of the other bosses.

In Japanese when they do their little Super Sentai pose before their lifebar fills, they do speak; in English it's awkward silence

Thank you for sharing this. It's unfortunately too relatable.

To be fair, they should probably hear it more. To be more fair, the people who need to hear it more aren't listening.

Dark Souls singlehandedly ruined an entire genre. ARPGs used to be so varied in gameplay and mechanics but then a bunch of 4chan memes convinced every developer the best game to make is one where you spend ยฝ the game dodge rolling around super choreographed moves because you have the HP of a hamster
