for the love of god, let the studio/game live or die on their own merits, stop clinging to past.

wrt to labor issues and whatnot: not one mention of the studio being the UK's FIRST recognized videogame workplace union...interesting, that.

no other studio gets shit slop writing like this even when other studios have literal rapists, racists, zionists, etc involved but because your favorite "auteurs" aren't involved anymore you write this inflammatory piece

Every once in a while I think about Anthem and what could have been. Hopefully, someone, some day makes something as cool or cooler and it gets to live a much longer life as a game.

Narrative designers, have a question: what text-based Inkle games would you recommend? Trying to learn the flow.

On a personal note:

1. We fucking did it. I am so proud of everyone involved.
2. Unionizing is a goddamn fight, regardless of any, ah, "diplomatic" coverage on the matter. This is a general observation, unrelated to today's news -- of course.
3. UK devs: your turn. DMs are open if you need help.

idk mr review writer, but they should take 10 seconds and think about why the de-personalization of self and the inherent dehumanization in armored core is a tenet of its design philosophy and narrative arcs

I never thought I would see this in my life, and that they’re making it immediately generic so it’s affordable is making me want to cry
