I used to put just sine beeps on stuff that was placeholder, but then people were complaining its too annoying. Hard to miss though, and thats kind of the point? :D Another philosophy is if you add a placeholder, it needs to be good enough to ship with, which Im trying out nowadays.

Very much time to stop using WeTransfer, with their updated terms that clearly state they have the right to use anything you transfer across their service, to train AI, create derivative works, basically steal and use anything you post through them. This is now laid out in section 6.3, posted below:

No. People often say β€ždont burn bridges, you might want to work there again”. I would rather be homeless than work in a place that literally stripped my life from any joy.

β€žBeatings will continue until morale improves”.

Another misguided decision, most likely they are trying to just get rid of people and avoid the legal hassle.

More Stockholm game companies will probably follow their steps although I hope Im wrong.

Im sorry you had to go through all that, but thanks for speaking up. I think a lot of people are just afraid to call what it is, which is gaslighting and mobbing. And right now, the studios have all the power with current work shortage, and people are suffering through a lot, just to stay employed.

I second this, also I’ll always prefer content quality over complex systems. You can make an amazing sounding game with simple implementation, however you can have the most complex system in the world, but if the content is bad its worth nothing.

Which one was that? There’s a couple good ramen places by Odenplan, Kumo Ramen, and Take Ramen. I go there for lunch every once in a while

I use it on headphones when working remote, and when Im back in the studio things transfer fairly well. Although I found that it depends a bit on the headphones you use.
